Chapter 1549: Lu Yin’s Name

Lu Yin’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he pulled out the large ring the size of a hand that he had obtained from Grandmaster Gu Yan. The old man had once said that the power vessel contained the full power of one of his attacks.

Cloud Fall descended, and the large ring disappeared from Lu Yin and passed by the old man.

Without a single sound, the old man’s face turned gray, and his body was split in two. He slowly tumbled down into the mountains.

The burgeoning secret technique, Cloud Fall, slowly disappeared at the same time.

Everyone remained silent as they blankly stared on. A powerhouse of the Celestial Frost Sect who had passed through four stellular tribulations and had even mastered a secret technique had died so simply. In fact, there had not even been any buildup leading up to his death.

Everyone stared at Lu Yin in fear.

Lu Yin did not have any time to feel anything as he continued to rush towards the Cloud Shuttle. He wanted to get far away from the old famer, as well as any of the other Lu family’s former vassals or retainers who wished to help him. He just wanted to escape far away.

As Lu Yin fled, the old farmer looked up with bloodshot eyes. “Run away! You must live! Hope will only exist as long as you live.”

One day later, another powerful Envoy appeared in front of Lu Yin. He used the knife that he had acquired, as well as a secret technique to fight. With the further assistance of the Enhanced puppet, he managed to severely injure the three-tribulation Envoy and resume his escape to the east.

However, the puppet was recognized, and Shenwu’s Sky sent out a powerhouse after Lu Yin as well.

Finally, after another two days, Lu Yin ended up trapped within a mountain range. Someone had used a sourcebox array to trap him: Master Deng Guo.

Lu Yin murderously glared at Master Deng Guo, and Master Deng Guo stared back at the youth. “All members of the Lu family should be punished.”

“What created your hatred with the Lu family?” Lu Yin asked coldly.

Master Deng Guo remained unflustered. “The Lu family were the ones who moved the Lockbreaker Society’s headquarters to the rear battlefield. The Lu family is the enemy of all Lockbreakers!”

Lu Yin responded with a brilliant smile even as blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. “Thank you for sharing with me how great my Lu family is.”

Master Deng Guo suddenly looked saddened. “It’s a pity that your talent ends here. Die!”

He had set up a simple sourcebox array in the mountains just ahead of Lu Yin’s arrival, but it was not the sourcebox array that protected the second array base with the conical sourceboxes. Master Deng Guo was a Array Master, which naturally meant that he had mastered more than a single sourcebox array.

Lu Yin looked at the countless points surrounding him. Each point shone like a star, and they suddenly swarmed his puppet. None of the points of light launched a powerful attack, but each one possessed a restraining force that was difficult to break through.

Regardless of if he used a secret technique or an item, there was no way for Lu Yin to break free. The sourcebox array encompassed almost half of the mountain range.

All around Lu Yin, more and more people from the four ruling powers appeared.

The White Dragon Clan still had not acknowledged Lu Yin’s identity as someone from the Forsaken Land. With the entire matter becoming so public, the White Dragon Clan had to maintain a degree of self respect, but at the same time, they wanted to kill Lu Yin more than anyone else. The only way Lu Yin could settle the chaos for the clan was by dying.

“Is that how the Lu family maintained their authority over the Perennial World? Were they only capable of using power vessels?”

“They were nothing more than a family of trash that were taken out. Just look at him! You can see that the Lu family must have had too many power vessels all along.”

“That’s certainly true.”

“Hey, Lu bastard, do you have nothing but power vessels? You must have killed Young Master Bai with a sneak attack from a power vessel, right?” someone loudly called out.

A disciple from the Celestial Frost Sect glared at Lu Yin. “So, is it true or not? Your Lu family is so despicable and shameless!”

“A shameless family.”

“Shameless.”

Lu Yin stood above the mountain range and looked all around. He was surrounded by people who had been sent out to capture him. Among them he saw that Xia Taili, Nong Lie, and others had already arrived, along with the Purple-Gold family’s Jin Feiyuan. Lu Yin was blatantly mocked and ridiculed for being too arrogant and walking straight into a trap. While Lu Yin did not care about any of these people on an individual level, there were just too many of them, and he would not be able to escape unless Mister Mu arrived to save him.

“Long Qi, that puppet belongs to my big brother, so how did you get it?” Xia Taili had specifically come here to ask Lu Yin this question, as the people of Shenwu’s Sky could not wait for an answer. How had Lu Yin gotten a hold of their Junior Progenitor’s puppet?

Lu Yin just glanced over at her. “I picked it up.”

Xia Taili grew furious. “Bullshit!”

Lu Yin glanced around at everyone. He really, truly was unable to escape from this situation. He noticed that there were also several Envoys in the surroundings, which meant that he could not even approach the Cloud Shuttle with his own strength.

In that case, since escape was impossible, it would be better to accomplish something. For example, redeeming the Lu family’s name.

“Bai Shaohong? He was nothing more than trash,” Lu Yin commented quietly. However, his voice still managed to echo through the area, and it even reached the nearby city.

The people from the Celestial Frost Sect all grew enraged. “You’re nothing but some trash who managed to escape by relying on your power vessels! How dare you insult our Junior Progenitor! What can you do?”

Lu Yin looked up at them. “I, Lu Yin, was able to defeat all four of the Junior Progenitors on my own.”

Silence reigned in the area for a moment, but it was quickly broken by booming, sarcastic laughter.

Xia Taili frowned; was Lu Yin insane? Even though Xia Taili had been upset earlier because she had no desire to marry Lu Yin, she did not actually have a bad impression of him as a person. So, why would he go and say such a thing?

Nong Lie just shook his head and let out a sigh.

Jin Feiyuan shouted loudly, “You Lu bastard, you want to face all four Junior Progenitors at once? You couldn’t even hold your own against Elder Shi, and even he was not able to defeat Junior Progenitor Bai. He would have replaced Elder Shi to become the truly invincible first-tribulation Envoy! How could you compare?”

A smile slowly spread across Lu Yin’s face. “Why don’t you come find out? One strike’s enough to deal with you.”

Jin Feiyuan snorted derisively, though he showed no inclination of continuing the conversation with Lu Yin. However, the people nearby started mocking him, especially Nong Lie. “Jin Feiyuan, go give it a try.”

“Com’on, Jin Feiyuan. Go try.”

“The members of the Purple-Gold family can’t be that cowardly.”

“Arrogant.”

Jin Feiyuan had no way to hold onto any reputation with this ridicule. He really did not want to step forward, as Lu Yin truly did qualify to stand on the same level as the Junior Progenitors. He had also gone to the Dominion Realm whereas Jin Feiyuan had been defeated by both Shang Qing and Yao Xuan. Those losses had left behind a mental trauma, and he had come to absolutely hate the people from the Forsaken Land. This was why he had been so eager to chase after Lu Yin and insult him.

Jin Feiyuan was completely unconcerned with Lu Yin’s status as someone from the Lu family. Instead, he was completely certain that Lu Yin was from the Forsaken Land, and thus, Jin Feiyuan had come to see Lu Yin in the exact same light as Shang Qing and Yao Xuan.

“Jin Feiyuan, come on! Take that puppet back!” Xia Taili ordered. After all, the Purple-Gold family was one of Shenwu’s Sky’s vassal clans. Jin Feiyuan had been given an order, but he did not look happy about it at all.

Jin Feiyuan gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Yin. “Don’t use any power vessels!”

Lu Yin immediately removed the puppet and his universal armor. He raised just his right hand and motioned for Jin Feiyuan to make a move. “Come.”

Jin Feiyuan clenched a fist and transformed into a purple-gold phoenix that flew into the air. The flames roared, and he charged straight into the sourcebox array to attack Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked up and lashed out with a single hand: Vacuum Palm.

The purple-gold phoenix shrieked as blood spurted out, only to be consumed by the flames. The bird collapsed onto the ground in a miserable fashion, and just as it was about to crash into the ground, the bird transformed back into a human form. The youth glanced over his shoulder as he raced out of the sourcebox array. He had already given up. The single Vacuum Palm had gravely wounded him, and he had only managed to flee by taking advantage of a power vessel.

Lu Yin sneered; Jin Feiyuan wanted to escape? Lu Yin moved, suddenly appeared in front of Jin Feiyuan, grabbed the youth’s hair, and violently slapped him into unconsciousness.

Everyone watching was shocked; how could this happen to Jin Feiyuan, who was supposed to be the Purple-Gold family’s heir?

Everyone had already known that Jin Feiyuan would not be Lu Yin’s opponent, but Lu Yin had agreed to not use any power vessels, though the same had not been said for Jin Feiyuan. This was why Xia Taili had asked Jin Feiyuan to attack Lu Yin. She did not have any intention of allowing Jin Feiyuan to die, but who could have expected Lu Yin to be so powerful that Jin Feiyuan was incapable of even escaping?

Without directly facing Lu Yin in a fight, it was impossible to truly understand his strength.

Some time passed with no one having the courage to even say anything.

Given Lu Yin’s age, it was truly shocking that Jin Feiyuan had been knocked out with a simple slap.

Shi Xin arrived at this time, and he slowly walked into the sourcebox array to face Lu Yin. “Should I call you Long Qi or Lu Yin?”

Lu Yin’s face grew solemn. “Lu Yin.”

Shi Xin stared at Lu Yin in amazement. “You really do look too similar to that person.”

“Who?” Lu Yin asked.

Shi Xin replied, “Lu – Xiaoxuan.”

It was as though a bolt of lightning shot through Lu Yin’s brain. Lu Xiaoxuan, Lu Xiaoxuan. The moment Lu Yin heard this name, he knew that it was his own. He was Little Seven of the Lu family, and his name was Lu Xiaoxuan. That was his original name. That was the name of the person who had defeated Shi Xin. That was the name of the person who had planted the blade of grass in Seed Garden. That was the name of Young Master Tu’s boss who he had been waiting for for so many years. That was the name that reflected Lu Yin’s future, as it was the name of the person who would take revenge on the entire Perennial World. That was his name.

“Are you really someone from the Lu family?” Shi Xin asked, his feelings torn.

Lu Yin clenched a fist; had his situation not changed at all? Since it clearly had not, then there was no reason not to proceed. “You fought Lu Xiaoxuan, so tell me. How was it facing his Champions’ Stage?”

Several different emotions flickered through Shi Xin’s eyes. “The members of the Lu family are very difficult to deal with. Just the Champions’ Stage alone means that a person does not face a single opponent, but rather an entire army.”

Lu Yin suddenly smiled. “In that case, here’s something that you should remember from a while ago. I heard that you once fought with Bai Shaohong, so why don’t you do so again?”

The Champions’ Stage appeared.

The moment it appeared, it shattered the sky with an indescribable aura that spread throughout the entire Perennial World. It was as though the Mother Tree itself was trembling.

Everyone was left dazed, and some of the older people’s jaws hung wide open as they stared at the Champions’ Stage in awe. That familiar feeling had returned. The Lu family, a family where one person was as strong as a nation, where each individual had the power to lord over all, had returned.

People had surrounded Lu Yin, and all of them had called him Lu bastard, but in truth, not every member of the Lu family possessed the innate gift of the Champions’ Stage; only the direct lineage of the family even had a hope of awakening this particular innate gift.

Seeing the Champions’ Stage appear had cemented Lu Yin’s identity: he was a of the main lineage of the Lu family.

Incredible changes had taken place in the Perennial World since the fall of the Lu family; seals had been placed within everyone’s minds so that they could not speak or even remember the Lu family. The moment the Champions’ Stage appeared, no fewer than a hundred people’s heads exploded, as they had been forced to remember the family that had once ruled the Perennial World.

Shi Xin’s expression changed drastically, and he blurted, “You’re Lu Xiaoxuan!”

Outside the encirclement, the elders from the White Dragon Clan were all horrified, though the Envoys from the Celestial Frost Sect were just as shocked. Xia Taili and the others closer to Lu Yin felt their minds go blank as they stared on in disbelief: Lu Xiaoxuan? The seventh of the Seven Heroes? He had once been an incredibly talented genius who had been guaranteed to eventually become a Progenitor! He was actually still alive?

Lu Yin had already known that the moment his Champions’ Stage appeared, his identity would be revealed. It was just like how Bai Shaohong had instantly recognized Lu Yin’s true identity the moment he had seen the Champions’ Stage. It was only normal for the Champions’ Stage to be readily recognized.

However, oddly enough, Lu Yin’s appearance had changed. Clearly, he should be someone from Shi Xin’s generation, so why was no one able to verify Lu Yin’s true age through his bones? Even his Champions’ Stage looked as though he had only recently awakened his innate gift, which was a detail that both Bai Shaohong and Shi Xin had instantly noticed. What was the cause of these inconsistencies?
