God Taiyi’s face grew solemn when he heard this piece of news, as he had also participated in the Cosmic Sea battle, and he was aware of just how terrifying Liu Tianmu was. If not for Zhi Yi being held back by the Arbiter while the others fought for the Champions’ Stage, the battle’s outcome might have been very different. However, such a powerful person had actually been defeated, and her sword technique had actually lost. The people from the Hall of Honor this time around were truly terrifying.
Although the differences in strength between the Ten Arbiters had never been determined, Liu Tianmu was definitely one of the most powerful among them. Thus, her defeat had caused a shadow to hang over the other Arbiters, including Lu Yin.
“Liu Tianmu lost? Inconceivable!” Xing Kai’s first reaction to the news was complete disbelief.
Liquor Hero burped. “I feel like I can handle another bucket. I’ve got the money.”
Was the Hall of Honor’s hidden strength really that powerful? The peerless nature of the Tri-Yang Technique battle technique did not even need to be mentioned, but the other battle techniques second to that technique definitely were not weak either. Everyone had constantly been staring at Shang Qing, and so they had forgotten the other Honor Chosen.
Speaking of which, Lu Yin suddenly remembered that he himself was also an Honor Chosen.
Who knew what the other Arbiters thought of this development.
“Bro, you’re out?” Someone shouted in the distance.
A man emerged with a bitter smile. “I was lucky. It’s a mess in there, and some unknown person is leading everyone to eliminate the Innerverse’s Ten Arbiters. There are battles taking place everywhere, and Honor Chosen Shang Qing is fighting everyone he sees. Thus, staying inside would just be asking for it.”
“It’s not just that—the Ku family’s Ku Lei has gone nuts, and he’s sworn to capture those two brats from Eversky Island, and he’s been chasing after them all over the Mountain and Seas Zone ever since,” someone said.
“Speaking of which, just what did those two brats do? Many people in the Mountain and Seas Zone are chasing after them.”
A ways away from the conversation, Lu Yin stood up. “Sorry, but I’ll need to head out first.”
Liquor Hero raised a hand. “Can I get another barrel?”
God Taiyi felt puzzled. “Brother Lu, you want to go inside the Mountain and Seas Zone?”
Lu Yin did not even turn around. “I’m Eversky Island’s nominal disciple.”
And with that, he left Azure Mansion.
Gu Xiao’er, God Taiyi, and Xing Kai were all dumbfounded, as they had not been privy to this information.
On the Mountain and Seas Zone’s continent, a figure appeared from a distortion in the void that quickly returned to normal.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that there were five tall mountains standing in five different directions. Was this the place that held the mountain and sea inheritances?
Off in the distance, star energy erupted and swept out along with a strong wind.
Lu Yin looked all around him, and he saw rune lines everywhere, making it difficult for him to find Black and White.
Although he did not know those two very well, they were still from Eversky Island, and he could not just leave them alone.
He saw the most runes in the north, so he started heading that way.
Along his way, he saw quite a few cultivators in groups of two or three, and he also passed by several fights.
There was no need to wait for the contest for the Astral Tower to begin, as even this period could be considered a part of the competition. Naturally, there were quite a few people who wanted to eliminate some opponents early.
Lu Yin’s luck was not very good, and he did not go too far before running into Shang Qing.
Shang Qing did not recognize Lu Yin, and Lu Yin had suppressed his aura rather well. Thus, at first, Shang Qing did not pay any attention to Lu Yin. That is, until Tai Yuanjun spoke up.
“Lu Yin? Why are you here?” Tai Yuanjun was surprised.
In front of him, Shang Qing turned around to look. Lu Yin?
Lu Yin frowned, as he had seen Shang Qing before, and he did not want to get caught up with Shang Qing. Those three qi flows were horrifying, though Lu Yin had never imagined that Tai Yuanjun would be following the First Honor Chosen.
“You’re Lu Yin?” Shang Qing looked over, and a clear desire to fight filled his eyes.
Lu Yin casually nodded. “You’re the First Honor Chosen, Shang Qing?”
Shang Qing’s lips curled up. “You defeated the Ten Arbiters’ Lan Si and Zhenwu, and I watched your fight with Arbiter Zhenwu. Not bad.”
Lu Yin’s gaze grew sharp.
“As one of the Honor Chosen of my Hall of Honor, you have the qualifications to succeed, so I hope that you’ll do your best during the Astral Tower contest. Lei Nü can fight for one place, and I hope that you’ll do your best to take another. That way, we can control three of the seats for the Cosmic Five,” Shang Qing continued.
Tai Yuanjun spoke up, “Lu Yin isn’t just an Honor Chosen, but he’s also one of the Ten Arbiters, and people even call him Arbiter Lu. Didn’t you want to find the Ten Arbiters?”
A stream of qi swept out from Shang Qing’s body and slammed into Tai Yuanjun to smack him away. Shang Qing coldly ordered, “Just do your job. Your scheming will only cause me to despise you.”
Tai Yuanjun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. He no longer dared to even look at Shang Qing.
“You’re very confident,” Lu Yin commented.
Shang Qing calmly responded, “My confidence is different from Arbiter Zhenwu’s, and it comes from winning one battle after another. To prevent you from making trouble for me in the future, I can let you understand.”
Shang Qing then raised a hand and sent a qi flow streaming towards Lu Yin.
Close behind, Xie Xiaoxian looked excited, as Shange Qing was fighting again. This person was someone who she could not recognize at all, but he had managed to get Shang Qing to act. Thus, he had to be another one of the Ten Arbiters!
