Mr. Yi’s gaze swept past Elder He, and he also saw Elder Tong, Lan Si, and the other people who had previously fought against him. At this moment, one finger from him would be enough to crush them into nothing more than puddles of blood.
He was in no hurry, as he did not hate these people. However, Mr. Yi’s gaze quickly fixated on Lu Yin, at which point he smiled.
Mr. Yi regarded himself as an elegant person. In the Sixth Mainland, he had climbed up step by step to successfully reach his current position, and nobody had ever treated him as disrespectfully as Lu Yin. He was a guest of the Tong family, someone who was second only to Ancestor Tong himself. In the future, Mr. Yi might even be able to join the ranks of the Daosource Sect’s elders. His potential was exalted and bright, so not a single stain was allowed to appear on him.
Recently, he had suffered from a harrowing experience. That bastard, that despicable native, had actually made Mr. Yi feel despair. When the Imprinter remembered that vile smell, he still shuddered even now, and he had even had nightmares after being assaulted by it. That incident was a stain upon his glorious record and the greatest disgrace of his life to date.
Mr. Yi would not hesitate to pay any price to chase after these people, all because he wanted to personally capture that little bastard and make him suffer from despair for the remainder of his life.
Mr. Yi glared fiercely, and his originally elegant appearance seemed to have completely vanished. At this moment, he only wanted to savor the intense, wretched emotions that were sure to be in Lu Yin’s eyes, such as despair, terror, and desperation. The Imprinter wanted to see the most base human emotions possible.
Eh? Why is that bastard smiling?
It was not only Mr. Yi, but Mr. Da was also staring at Lu Yin in confusion. Out of everyone present, this youth was the only one who was smiling.
Elder He slowly turned around to look at Lu Yin.
Lan Si also looked at the youth. He’s smiling?
Quite a few cultivators from Grayweed Continent were feeling despair at this moment. Was Lu Yin so lost in his grief that he had gone crazy?
Actually, it was not only Lu Yin who was smiling; the Ghost Monkey was smiling as well, and in a very wretched manner at that.
Lu Yin coughed and looked back at Mr. Yi. “About that, I’m sorry to disturb you, but let me ask you something. Do you have any last words? If I slaughter my way into the Sixth Mainland one day, I may be able to help you deliver them home.”
Everyone stared at the youth, dumbfounded. This person was crazy! He was actually insane!
Mr. Yi laughed contentedly. “You’ve actually gone crazy. What a pity. At least you deserve it. Little bastard, you’ve gotten off lightly.”
Mr. Da shook his head helplessly, as this kid’s mental endurance was too pathetic. He had actually gone mad from the current situation.
Lu Yin blinked and then stared at Mr. Yi with a serious expression. “Do you have money?”
The crowd was flabbergasted, and they simply stopped looking at this lunatic.
Only Zhang Dingtian, Hai Dashao, and a few others continued to stare at Lu Yin with strange expressions on their faces. These people were the only ones who understood Lu Yin, and he would not be frightened silly even if he was facing certain death. This was especially true for Zhang Dingtian, as Lu Yin had actually shared some details about the matters in the Outerverse with him. Was Lu Yin that confident in dealing with these two?
“If you have money, then I can consider not burying you with that stinky item,” Lu Yin continued to say.
Mr. Yi flew into a rage as he raised his hand to grab that youth, his face quickly reverting to its arrogant expression. He was going to crush this kid like an ant and completely vent all of his frustrations. In Mr. Yi’s eyes, not only this kid, but everyone else in this place was an ant as well.
Elder He gritted his teeth, and he was just about to give his all in a final showdown. Even if he died, he had to ensure that Hai Dashao and the others survived.
Suddenly, Mr. Yi stopped moving, as his expression suddenly changed as his face gradually went extremely pale. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he slowly turned around to stare at the border between the Endless and Southside Weaves. In that place, there was a pair of eyes watching him. Although they were clearly a great distance away, those eyes gave off a sense of immense pressure that had immobilized the Imprinter.
Mr. Yi was not alone, as Mr. Da was in the same condition as well.
A moment ago, Elder He and the others had fallen into despair, but now, it was the Imprinters’ turn.
Those were Yuan Shi’s eyes.
Lu Yin empathized with these two powerhouses. They had been living comfortably in the Innerverse, but these two old monsters just had to make their way to the Outerverse.
Mr. Yi’s palm had covered the sky above everyone present, but he simply could not lower it any more.
Elder He and the others were confused, as they did not know what was going on.
Space tore open in the distance, and Yuan Shi slowly emerged with a calm expression. “Sixth Mainland cultivators from the Innerverse? Come with me. I need you to tell me more about what’s the Innerverse’s situation.”
Mr. Yi and Mr. Da exchanged glances and then moved to flee in two different directions at the exact same moment.
Yuan Shi shook his head and then vanished.
Still frozen in place, the crowd exchanged glances before finally looking at Lu Yin.
Hai Dashao hurriedly asked, “Who was that elder?”
Lu Yin shrugged. “My friend.”
Hai Dashao was left speechless.
Hai Feng looked at Lu Yin as though he was looking at a monster.
Lan Si’s brows rose.
Elder Tong felt helpless. “Don’t spout nonsense. Was that elder a senior from the Hall of Honor?”
Lu Yin nodded. “Yuan Shi.”
“Yuan Shi?” Quite a few cried out at the mention of this name, particularly Elder He, who looked quite emotional. “Is he really Yuan Shi?”
Lu Yin nodded.
“Yuan Shi? He’s that elder from the Hall of Honor, right?”
“I heard that he’s lived for countless years and has mentored many elders along their cultivation path.”
“That’s a true elder, and he’s mentored multiple Envoys.”
…
“I never imagined that Yuan Shi would be keeping watch over the Outerverse. If we had known, then there would have been no need for them to have sacrificed themselves,” Elder He lamented.
Lu Yin felt helpless, as he had tried to tell the Sea King this, but he had been pushed away before he could. As for Hai Qiqi, she had not participated in Endless Weave’s border defense. Thus, she had no way of knowing about Yuan Shi’s existence. Otherwise, there would have been no need for the Sea King to sacrifice himself.
It could only be said that this was ordained by destiny.
The Sea King had shattered the Upper Three Gates and ushered in this disaster. And finally, he had been forced to pay the price for his own actions.
