Chapter 1215: A Request

Chapter 1215: A Request

Lu Yin twisted to the side and easily evaded the sword qi. Lu Yin’s speed was incomparable to Ku Wei’s, and even if the sword formation had locked down the void, Lu Yin was still able to easily avoid all of the attacks. He even had room to look at the faces of the Sword Sect disciples who were controlling the sword formation, and saw that they looked rather numb.

Elder Li appeared outside the square, and after his arrival, the Sword Sect’s other experts began to appear one after another to watch as Lu Yin forced his way into the sword formation.

“Who is that? It takes courage to challenge the sword formation while only a Hunter.”

“He’s the Ten Arbiters’ Lu Yin.”

“What? That’s Lu Yin? No wonder he’s able to break through. He’s the one who defeated both Arbiter Zhenwu and Divine Fist. When Zhenwu entered this sword formation ten years ago, he was definitely worse than Lu Yin is right now. Much worse.”

“It looks like he’s able to easily handle it, and the sword formation can’t lock him down.”

…

Everyone was able to see that the sword formation was useless against Lu Yin and that the only reason that he had not broken the formation was because he wanted to test it out a bit.

Liu Shaoqiu tightly clenched his right fist, as he could see the discrepancy in strength was incredibly large.

At this moment, an old man rushed into the square and traded places with one of the Cruiser realm disciples. The old man was a Hunter, and his participation instantly caused the power of the formation to spike.

Lu Yin wondered if the sword formation required a clear mind. Even if the old man was a Hunter, it was impossible for him to cooperate with all of the other disciples creating the sword formation, and trying to do so would not have actually improved the power of the formation, but likely would have weakened the whole thing. So why had the power suddenly spiked?

Lu Yin looked at the old man as the Hunter thrust his longsword forward. From next to the old man, dozens of strands of sword qi merged into a terrifying strand of sword qi that had a power level that surpassed 200,000. It shot straight towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled gently, but still raised a hand and flicked his fingers. That was all it took for Lu Yin to disintegrate the sword qi. He reached out a hand towards the old man and casually tapped a finger as the old man watched in horror. The delicate move sent the old man flying out of the sword formation.

Dozens of strands of sword qi slashed across the sky behind Lu Yin.

He instantly disappeared, and then swung his right hand through the air. A powerful wind carried an unstoppable force that forced dozens of Sword Sect disciples back, and they all spat out blood.

Lu Yin’s strength had reached a level where not only was an early Enlighter not his opponent, but not even an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000 would be able to stand up against Lu Yin.

Xia Jiuyou, Yuhua Mavis, Qiu Shi, and the other inheritors from the Neoverse were all Enlighters, yet none of them had been able to stand up to the corpse king Beast after it had transformed, whereas Lu Yin had reached a level where he was able to directly confront Beast.

This sword formation could not threaten Lu Yin in any way at all.

Another of the Sword Sect’s Hunters moved to take a disciple’s place within the sword formation. After that, one disciple after another was replaced, yet the result remained the same. Lu Yin did not use a single battle technique, nor did he use battle force, spirit force, his domain, or anything else. He used nothing aside from his physical strength and speed, yet was still able to prove the sword formation useless.

Ku Wei praised Lu Yin’s efforts, “Seventh Bro is mighty and invincible!”

The sword formation was an important part of the Sword Sect’s heritage. Some people had challenged the sword formation in the past, and each one was famous enough to attract the attention of countless Sword Sect disciples.

More and more Sword Sect disciples gathered to watch, and soon more than 10,000 people were watching.

Liu Shen, Liu Ling, Yan Hua, Long Yun, Li Zimo, and many others were all watching.

Even the Sword Sect’s master, Liu Qianjue, looked around the pond where he was fishing, and the surface of the pond was showing the scene of Lu Yin fighting against the sword formation.

With a bang, another strand of sword qi shattered, and off in the distance, Elder Li glanced over at Liu Shen.

Liu Shen nodded and rushed into the sword formation and replaced a disciple.

Liu Shen was someone who always had a smile on his face, but Lu Yin had always felt that there was a knife hidden behind Liu Shen’s smile. Still, the man was not weak and was actually an Enlighter.

An Enlighter had finally joined the sword formation, and his participation immediately transformed the entire formation.

The numerous Sword Sect disciples watching from the side all went silent.

Lu Yin was only a Hunter, so sending out an Enlighter to deal with such a person could already be considered bullying, yet Liu Shen had still moved to join the sword formation. Even if the sword formation managed to defeat Lu Yin, Liu Shen would still have lost.

Ku Wei became upset. “Your Sword Sect is too shameless! Seventh Bro, just stop fighting and expose them so people can just humiliate them to death!”

Liu Shaoqiu helplessly shook his head from next to Ku Wei, but kept silent.

Lu Yin suddenly disappeared, but only after Liu Shen stabbed a sword forward that was accompanied by a fusion of dozens of strands of sword qi. By using the sword formation, Liu Shen’s attacks were able to far exceed a power level of 200,000, and even exceeded 300,000.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “Elder Liu, isn’t this a bit much?”

“It would seem I’ve offended Alliance Leader Lu,” Liu Shen replied with a smile. Despite the man’s words, his movements did not slow. With one move of his sword, the void was sealed off.

Lu Yin’s eyes grew sharp. “I’ll also need to offend Elder Liu.”

After Lu Yin’s comment, despite no one seeing Lu Yin move a muscle, Liu Shen’s attack was completely shattered. Liu Shen and dozens of Sword Sect who sat near him were sent flying, and they all spat out blood as they flew through the air.

Lu Yin moved around with light steps, surrounded by more than 700 stars. There was a loud bang as the stars exploded: Cosmic Palm.

Hundreds of people participating in the sword formation vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. None of them were able to block even a single Cosmic Palm from Lu Yin.

Only Lu Yin remained standing in the square, and he looked down at the crowd.

All of the Sword Sect disciples in the area stayed silent as they simply stared at Lu Yin. He had instantly seized victory.

He had used Cosmic Palm. The Cosmic Sect deserved their status as a giant in the Neoverse, and an attack like Cosmic Palm also happened to be the nemesis of the Sword Sect’s sword formation; not only did Cosmic Palm ignore speed, it was also able to be used as a ranged attack.

Liu Shen’s sword had shattered, and blood leaked from the corner of his mouth as he stared at Lu Yin in shock. He had felt a peerlessly fierce attack just a moment ago, yet the attack itself had been invisible. Could that have been Arbiter Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm? Lu Yin had fought against Arbiter Zhenwu and had used that same Vacuum Palm to overpower Zhenwu throughout the entire fight. Lu Yin’s attack against Liu Shen did indeed seem to have been a Vacuum Palm, and the power of the attack truly was unparalleled.

Elder Li’s eyes held a wary light, and he suddenly remembered that Lu Yin had asked for a match on the battleship. The child truly was unfathomable.

No one more clearly understood the power of the sword formation than the Sword Sect’s disciples. Naturally, the shock that Lu Yin had given them by his actions had produced a memory that would never be forgotten by the Sword Sect.

Liu Ling stared at Lu Yin in disbelief as he stood alone within the square. His attitude of being invincible caused her to tremble. This was a truly domineering person.

Lu Yin looked around before finally focusing on Liu Shen. “It would seem I’ve offended Elder Liu.”

Liu Shen wrily smiled as he stood up and shook his head. He looked down at his shattered sword and sighed. “Thank you for showing mercy, Alliance Leader Lu.”

Lu Yin smiled and walked out of the square. He lifted his head to look up at Elder Li. “According to the rules of challenging the sword formation, I can meet with the sect master and make a request, right?”

Many people looked up at Elder Li.

Elder Li remained silent for a long time, but finally nodded. “Follow me.”

Lu Yin smiled. “Thank you.”

Back at the same pond, Liu Qianjue was still quietly fishing as Lu Yin approached from behind.

“Alliance Leader Lu, you’ve already said whatever you need to say, so there is no reason for us to meet again. Why bother?” Liu Qianjue spoke lightly. As he spoke, his fishing rod twitched. He grew overjoyed and suddenly lifted the fishing rod to pull a huge, strange fish from the water.

This weird fish was ferocious, and it opened its mouth to produce a sound that warped the void.

This strange fish was at least as strong as a Hunter.

Liu Qianjue just laughed and said, “Naughty.”

Lu Yin did not see any movement, but the fish was instantly torn to shreds. All of the blood and internal organs just disappeared, leaving nothing but the meat of the fish.

“If you don’t resist, you live to return. What a pity.” Liu Qianjue sighed, but then continued to fish.

Lu Yin stared at Liu Qianjue’s back. “Senior, when will The Purge start?”

Liu Qianjue indifferently replied, “My Sword Sect is not the mastermind behind The Purge, but rather the entire Innerverse, so why ask me such a thing?”

Lu Yin’s eyes grew hard. “Can this junior make a request?”

“If your request from defeating the sword formation is for my Sword Sect to withdraw The Purge, just forget it,” Liu Qianjue said.

Lu Yin answered in a low tone, “Of course not, this junior is not so stupid. Even if the Sword Sect pulled out of The Purge, the rest of the Innerverse would still be able to successfully complete the plan without any issue.”

Liu Qianjue became curious. “Then what is your request?”

Lu Yin looked up. “Junior would like the names of the leaders of the eight great flowzones.”

Liu Qianjue stood up and turned to look at Lu Yin with a solemn expression. “Do you want to talk to them?”

Lu Yin nodded.

Liu Qianjue laughed. “You can’t even convince the old man, so how do you expect to convince them?”

“Trying is still better than doing nothing.” Lu Yin shrugged.

Liu Qianjue looked at Lu Yin and thought back to the youth’s accomplishments. Although he was young, Lu Yin was decisive and bold with his actions.

“Senior won’t agree to even such a small request?” Lu Yin asked.

Liu Qianjue nodded. “Very well, this old man agrees. Let’s contact them and see if you are able to convince them. You must already know that the mere existence of the Great Eastern Alliance has caused them all to suffer terrible losses, and that is not something you can make up for.”

Lu Yin smiled lightly. He was not confident, but he still needed to try.

The eight great flowzone’s dominated the Innerverse, and the true masters of the Innerverse were the Wen family of Erudite Flowzone, the Beast Tamers Hall of Beast Tamers Flowzone, the Sword Sect of First Flowzone, the Daynight clan from Daynight Flowzone, the Divine Venom Dynasty from Venom Flowzone, the Lingling clan from Soulseal Flowzone, and Chaosgod Mountain from Chaos Flowzone. As for Blazing Mist Flowzone, there was the Blaze Realm, the sylvan dragons, and the Ross Empire, so the power was actually split three ways in that flowzone.

Daynight Flowzone was also home to the Phoenix clan, but the Phoenix clan only held control of a portion of Daynight Flowzone and were unable to affect the entire flowzone. Similarly, Soulseal Flowzone also had the Souldream tribe and the Dire Barbarian clan, but the Lingling clan was the absolute master of the flowzone.

At this moment, Lu Yin saw one of the Innerverse leaders who was qualified to speak to Liu Qianjue on nearly equal terms.

The surface of the pond was calm, and the fishing rods had been laid flat. A gentle breeze peacefully swept through the area.

Lu Yin stood beside Liu Qianjue, and in front of them, a screen appeared showing a flame. After a moment, a man emerged from the fire. Despite it just being an image, Lu Yin still had the impression of feeling the heat from the blaze.

“Senior Liu, could I ask why you called this junior?” The man looked rough, and had strong muscles, and a ruddy complexion. His skin had marks that looked like flames, and his eyes were sharp. Even the man’s pupils seem to have flames within them. He gave the impression of being able to burn the sky.

This man was the leader of the Blaze Realm: the Leader Hong.

“We’ll talk about this once everyone has gathered,” Liu Qianjue lightly replied. Although the Blaze Realm was one of the three major powers from Blazing Mist Flowzone, they were still considered one of the most powerful organizations in the Innerverse. Still, Leader Hong’s status could not compare to the master of the Sword Sect, and if not for the uniqueness of the location of the Blaze Realm, Liu Qianjue would never even speak to Leader Hong.

Leader Hong responded in a respectful manner. He was clear on his own status, and he did not dare be disrespectful to Liu Qianjue.

At this moment, when Leader Hong noticed Lu Yin, he first felt confused, and then surprised. He went from looking confused to radiating a cold light as he stared at Lu Yin.

Knowing that the man recognized him, Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and his eyes also grew cold.
