Chapter 393: It’s Moving My Hear (1/2)

The area around the pike had been unlocked before, so doing it for the second time was not nearly as complicated. After less than half a day had passed, Lu Yin opened up a path to the exit, though he found it a pity as he charged out. He had originally intended to collect exit fees, but that was no longer suitable in the present situation as he would incite the wrath of everyone present by doing so. If someone really died because of him, it would create an unnecessary feud, so it was just not worth it to try.

However, since he had found a new method of earning money, there were even more possibilities in the future. He was rather looking forward to it.

Northgate Lie actually didn’t take any further actions against Lu Yin, though many were already growing curious as to what Lu Yin had obtained. However, no one believed that he would be able to escape with what he had found, and they all thought that it was only a matter of time before he was forced to give up whatever he had gained.

Some more time passed, and Lu Yin was the first to arrive at the broken leg’s opening. He immediately boarded his personal spacecraft even as various Explorers charged straight out of the leg. Many Limiteers similarly boarded their spacecraft before exiting the centipede.

Neither Northgate Lie nor Qin Chen were that much slower than Lu Yin, and the two rushed out of the broken leg at around the same time. Northgate Lie was about to exchange some pleasantries with Qin Chen, but he was stunned to see that Qin Chen had transformed himself to look like Lu Yin.

Northgate Lie blinked, rather dumbfounded. “What are you doing?”

Qin Chen simply replied, “Goodbye.” He then charged away from the foot at an even greater speed as he flew into the distance.

Northgate Lie was so stunned that he was rooted to the ground. It took him a while before he could react.

Lily Anne appeared from behind and asked, “Brother Lie, what happened?”

Northgate Lie’s expression changed, and he suddenly charged at a nearby personal spacecraft that was flying into the distance. He forcefully stopped the vessel and looked within the cockpit. There, he saw Lu Yin, or to be more precise, another person who looked like Lu Yin.

Lily Anne was stunned. “What’s going on?”

Northgate Lie grew furious as he stared at the person within the spacecraft. “Why did you make yourself look like Lu Yin?”

That person trembled as he answered, “Lu Yin’s condition for helping us unlock the pike was for us to all vow to change ourselves into his appearance and immediately leave the Northline Flowzone.”

Northgate Lie was shocked as he gazed outwards. Explorers were still flying out of the leg, and some of them had Lu Yin’s appearance.

Most cultivators had a conscience. Since these people had made a promise, they would follow through as long as it was reasonably feasible, which was the cause for the scene before Northgate Lie’s eyes. It was a shocking scene that had never occurred before. For a few moments, Northgate Lie had no idea how to react.

Aside from Northgate Lie, the Cruisers who had been helping Northgate Taisui hold the centipede's body up were also stunned. Why were there so many “Lu Yins” flying around?

There were many people who had entered the centipede's body, and as they all charged out now, some joined up with others while others immediately left by themselves, like Qin Chen. The various cultivators sped towards the distance like runaway horses, all of them looking exactly like Lu Yin as they fled.

At this moment, the real Lu Yin had already flown quite a distance away. He turned around to look back while hoping that he would be able to escape. His escape attempt relied entirely on perfect timing.

However, his excitement did not last for long as his spacecraft suddenly stopped. No, it would be more precise to say that the entire heavens froze and that the void was being dragged back by an indescribably terrifying force. All the spacecraft within a zone of unknown size was being pulled backwards.

Lu Yin sighed when he realized that he would not be able to escape after all. That old monster with a power level in the hundreds of thousands wielded an unimaginable strength.

“Seventh Bro, just submit to your fate. Actually, those pikes aren’t even that important. That corpse was pinned to death by those five pikes, but the pikes were never reclaimed, so you should already know that they aren’t that important. Those words are the true treasure!” the monkey spoke helplessly.

Lu Yin sat in his spacecraft, quite relaxed. He knew that the monkey wasn’t wrong, as the pikes were just weapons. He did not actually care about them, but there was one thing that was important—he did not want to be threatened. Surrender to his fate? Not necessarily.

The centipede's body was settled in the sky, not far from the Northgate family’s home. The many powerhouses had used a planet as the foundation and built up a continent from nothing, all to hold the centipede's body. At this time, there were over a hundred powerhouses standing high above, though they all remained silent.

No one knew which direction Northgate Taisui was looking at in this region that he controlled.

With Northgate Taisui at the center, the entire region of this part of the universe was like a giant whirlpool. As long as an object was within the heavens, it was pulled towards him - be it human, spacecraft, or even an astral beast or an astronomical phenomenon. Nothing could escape the strength of Northgate Taisui’s pulling.

Even Enlighters such as Elder Northgate, Granny Chan, and Tie Sa were frightened, as they were simply not on the same level.

There was an explosion as a spacecraft exploded and the man inside returned to his original appearance due to panic. Northgate Kong simply waved his hand, and the man was flung back down. Then, another spacecraft exploded.

One after another, everyone in a spacecraft was captured, regardless of if they had altered their appearances or not.

Even the Explorers weren’t able to escape. Every single individual who had entered the centipede’s body could forget about fleeing.

Even the people and spacecraft who were traveling around the region’s edge were pulled in along with the region’s soldiers. No one was left out.

Everyone was forcibly set down on a nearby planet, and even Qin Chen had no choice but to comply. When he touched down, he looked at the heavens with an empty expression.

Jared sneered; Lu Yin had been overcome by greed. How could he expect to escape from such an old freak? He had been too naive.

During this excursion within the centipede’s body, the Blaze Realm had suffered heavy losses as both of the elders escorting the group had perished. One had been directly killed by Lu Yin, and although the other would have survived, Jared had sent him on his way. Still, Lu Yin would be labeled as the murderer for both. From this point onwards, the hatred that the Blaze Realm held for Lu Yin would only increase. This was Jared’s greatest harvest from this trip.

Northgate Lie stood next to Northgate Kong and focused on attentively looking at the people who had changed their appearances to match Lu Yin’s.

One small-scale spacecraft’s hatch opened, and a dozen people who looked like Lu Yin walked out. All of them had an extremely nervous expression, which made Northgate Kong’s face turn darker by the minute. He then impatiently waved for those people to be taken away.

Everyone here was a captive, and Northgate Kong carefully examined them one by one. Normally, this sort of inspection did not require a family elder like him, but since Northgate Taisui had spoken, Northgate Kong had to personally handle the matter. Thus, his current bad mood.

There was another bang as another spacecraft split open, revealing nothing inside at all.
