Chapter 2841: Location
He had murdered many members of the Lu family, and the murder that had left the biggest impression on Lu Yin was that of an old servant.
That old servant had been captured by the Xia family, tortured, and eventually killed. The culprit behind all of it was Xia Ziheng.
There was also Xia Zhitong, who had tried to ruin the reputation of the Yu family and intimidate other families that still had good relationships with the Lu family. Xia Ziheng had been the one behind that woman’s actions as well.
It was time for all those accounts to be settled.
Two Semi-Progenitors, Xia De and Xia Su, stood respectfully on the gray ground. Behind them were many members of the Xia family, though Xia Shenfei, Xia Taili, and Xia Shenguang were nowhere to be seen.
Like Wang Su and the other elites of the Wang family, the most talented disciples of the four ruling powers had been taken away so that they could live free from the Lu family.
Compared to the Wang family’s continent, Shenwu\'s Sky was in much worse condition. There had been no power capable of blocking or stopping a Progenitor-level corpse king. If the Divine Eagle had not taken action, Shenwu\'s Sky would have been utterly destroyed.
The Lu Sanctum moved from the Wang family’s territory and stopped above Shenwu\'s Sky. A golden light fell upon all of Shenwu\'s Sky, illuminating the anxious and fearful eyes of the sect’s disciples.
They did not dare to lift their heads, and the pressure given off by the Lu Sanctum sent chills down all their spines.
As soon as Lu Tianyi had learned about Xia Shenji, he had stopped caring about Xia De or any of the others from Shenwu’s Sky. He did not even intend to say anything to them.
Lu Yin glanced around. "Where is Xia Ziheng?"
Xia De answered in a low voice, "He ran away."
"Why haven’t you run?" Lu Yin asked.
Xia De shrugged. "Unless we escape to the Sixverse Association, where can we go? I have been called Hero Xia my whole life. Even if I am not a true hero, I cannot act that shamefully."
Lu Tianyi looked at Xia De. "I may have a good impression of you, but unfortunately, the Xia family took the wrong path."
Xia De bowed low to Lu Tianyi. "That is not something that this junior could influence. Please grant me a good death. This junior does not wish to be anointed as a champion after death."
Xia Su also offered a deep bow. "Senior, please spare mercy after my death."
Xia Su was the person responsible for standing guard over Xia Shenji’s clone in the prison beneath Shenwu’s Sky. If not for Liu Shaoge escaping with that clone, Xia Su would have never been punished. Later, when he was searching for the Liu family’s Sword Monument, Lu Yin had taken the Sword Monument away, right in front of Xia Su. After that, the Semi-Progenitor had not had a very good time in Shenwu’s Sky.
"Why didn’t you run away?" Lu Yin asked curiously. A Semi-Progenitor deserved a bit more attention from him.
Xia Su opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Xia De bluntly stated, "This junior did not allow him to escape."
"Even after accepting the resources of my Xia family for so many years, not only did I fail to properly protect the underground prison, but I also made several mistakes after that. How could I simply walk away?"
Lu Yin looked at Xia Xing. "Tell me everything that Xia Ziheng has done to my Lu family over the years."
Xia Xing\'s heart trembled, but he did not dare to refuse. He spoke slowly as he answered.
The more he listened to Xia Xing’s confession, the worse Lu Tianyi\'s expression became. Eventually, killing intent blazed in his eyes. "We must find this person."
Lu Yin displayed complete confidence. "Don\'t worry, he can\'t escape. Not to mention him, no one from the four ruling powers will be able to escape."
Xia De frowned. How did Lu Xiaoxuan have the confidence to make such a claim? If they wanted to escape, they would not remain in the Origin Universe, but rather flee to the Sixverse Association.
Wait... The Semi-Progenitor’s eyes snapped back to Lu Yin. "You."
Lu Yin responded with a half-smile that was not truly a smile. "Did Hero Xia remember something?"
Xia De did not dare speak, as if his guess was wrong, then he would expose those people’s location. However, if he was correct, then there was indeed no chance that those people would be able to escape.
However, given Xia De’s understanding of Lu Yin, his guess was more likely than not correct.
Lu Yin had taken the lead every step of the way, frequently outmaneuvering the four ruling powers. It was very likely that they had fallen into a trap once again.
Elsewhere in the Higher Realm, Wang Jian, whom Lu Yin and the others believed to have already escaped, was standing. With him were Wang Su, Wang Yi, and the others who had been taken away by the Progenitor. Even Wei Rong was there. He had been taken because of his knowledge and understanding of Lu Yin, though that was his only value.
For this reason, Wang Gui and Wang Man had been taken away as well.
Within the crowd, there was one person who did not want to leave, but had still been forcibly dragged away by Wang Jian. That was Wang Miaomiao.
This woman had scolded her ancestors because they had banished the Lu family. She had always been an outlier within the Wang family. She was the only member of the family who had cared about the Lu family and who wanted them to return.
"Stop!" a voice shouted.
Every member of the Wang family turned around to see that Wang Miaomiao had stopped moving. There was a frigid expression on her face.
"Ancestor, I want to go back."
Wang Jian frowned. "Do you want to go back, or do you want to find Lu Qi?"
Wang Su and others calmly looked on. Everyone knew that Wang Miaomiao liked Lu Qi, though they also knew that it was because she had been harassed by Lu Qi.
Within the Wang family, Wang Miaomiao enjoyed a status that surpassed even that of the direct descendants. She was an unmatched genius, and she was also Wang Jian\'s descendant.
Wang Miaomiao showed Wang Jian her back as she quietly stated, "I won\'t run. How can you? Why must you take me away?"
Wang Jian grew angry. "Do you think that Lu Qi cares about you at all? Don\'t humiliate the Wang family!"
Wang Miaomiao sneered. "Do you think that you won’t be laughed at after you run away like a stray dog, abandoning its home to take refuge under someone else\'s roof? My Wang family has lived in the Fifth Mainland for countless years, and yet now we run away. We are humiliating our ancestors."
"Presumptuous!" Wang Jian shouted fiercely. With that, pressure fell, smashing Wang Miaomiao\'s body to the ground. Her face grew pale, but she refused to look back. She was as determined as ever, and she clearly wanted to get back on her feet and leave.
The pressure rose higher, but Wang Miaomiao still did not care. Even if her fingers were broken and her clothes became stained with blood, she would still leave.
Wang Jian\'s eyes grew cold.
Wang Xiaofan stepped forward and bowed to Wang Jian. "Ancestor, let her go."
Wang Jian turned to glare at Wang Xiaofan. "What did you just say?"
Wang Xiaofan took a deep breath and then said, "Please, Ancestor, let her go."
Wang Su and the others looked at Wang Xiaofan. They all knew that the man had cared for Wang Miaomiao since childhood. Even so, it was surprising to see the man have the courage to contradict their ancestor because of her.
Wang Jian waved Wang Xiaofan away. "You are not allowed to interfere."
He turned back to Wang Miaomiao. "If you want to leave, then ask Lu Qi to come get you. I’d like to see if he dares to show himself before me."
Several people felt bad, as even if Lu Qi had the courage to do so, he first had to know where the Wang family even was.
Within the crowd, Wei Rong shook his head. This man was too stubborn. It would have been better if he had shown a bit more tolerance.
Before long, another group of people arrived, led by Xia Yan. Among the newcomers were Xia Ziheng, as well as the most talented disciples of Shenwu’s Sky. They were rendezvousing with the Wang family.
When Wang Jian saw the people from Shenwu\'s Sky arrive, his expression softened slightly, but just as he was about to speak, the distant Shenwu\'s Sky dropped down. A second hole had appeared in the Higher Realm, just like the one that had appeared for the Wang family. Through the hole, it was possible to see the clouds of the Middle Realm.
Everyone from Shenwu\'s Sky turned pale.
And on the Wang family’s side, grim expressions appeared. They had already watched the Wang family’s continent drop down. Their fall was inevitable, and there was no way that Shenwu\'s Sky would be spared.
"Greetings, Progenitor Jian." The people from Shenwu\'s Sky turned back and bowed to Wang Jian. There was no longer anything for them in the Higher Realm.
Wang Jian waved a hand. "There is no need for such courtesy. Where are the people from the Celestial Frost Sect?"
"Reporting to Ancestor: they are still en route and will arrive soon," Xia Ziheng stepped forward to answer.
Wang Jian looked back at Wang Miaomiao once more.
The woman’s miserable condition drew some attention from the people from Shenwu\'s Sky, but they did not dare to ask any questions.
It had already been decided that they would go to the Sixverse Association. If the four ruling powers each went alone, they would have far less power than if they joined together, which was why Wang Jian had waited for the others. There was no other reason for him to wait for outsiders.
It did not take long for people from the Celestial Frost Sect to arrive. They were led by Bai Laogui, as well as Bai Su, Elder Xi Zi, Bai Weiwei, Dong Shan, and several other elders.
After everyone from the Celestial Frost Sect had bowed to Wang Jian, the Progenitor said, "The White Dragon Clan refuses to come, so there\'s no need to force them. Let them be destroyed by the Lu family. We\'ll go to the Sixverse Association."
"Yes, Progenitor Jian," everyone responded respectfully.
Three people stepped out from the crowd. They were the people who had been placed within the four ruling powers by the Sixverse Association. These were the people who allowed the four ruling powers to communicate with the Sixverse Association and travel back and forth.
The Sixverse Association had refused to allow anyone from the four ruling powers to leave a mark on their coordinate seals, which had frustrated the four ruling powers. Even so, there was nothing that they could do about it.
"Alright, everyone, let\'s go," Wang Jian stated.
The three people glanced at each other, but they did nothing.
Wang Jian frowned. "You can take us to the Sixverse Association now."
Still, the three did nothing.
Wang Jian realized that something was very wrong, and he grew very nervous. Seeing the helpless expressions on the three people’s faces, the Progenitor’s own expression changed drastically. "Not good!"
Others suddenly thought of something, and they turned to stare at the three people.
The void tore open behind the three people, and more appeared. They were Leng Qing, Master Shan, and Chen Le.
Three Progenitors had appeared, and their auras instantly filled the area, suppressing everyone and leaving the people from the four ruling powers unable to breathe.
Wang Jian did not hesitate to tear the void open to escape, but Leng Qing reacted too quickly, and his sword fell upon the Progenitor’s head.
Aside from Wang Jian, there was no one else present who was capable of fighting against a Progenitor.
When Leng Qing attacked Wang Jian, the people from the four ruling powers could only watch on.
Master Shan was extremely excited. He had been waiting for this day for years. Finally, it had arrived. After this day, the four ruling powers, the Lu family’s greatest enemies, would no longer exist in the Origin Universe.
"The Lu family! If I fight to the death, you won\'t have an easy time of things! Release me!" Wang Jian roared. He could not understand how they had been found by these people from the Heavens Sect.
Leng Qing\'s saber swept out. "Go ahead and try."
Wang Jian did his best. If he did not resist immediately, he would lose any chance to escape once he was surrounded by three Progenitors.
Everyone from the four ruling powers ran away, their faces pale and terrified.
Xia Ziheng looked worse than anyone else. Given how cruel he had been towards the Lu family in the past, he was beyond terrified at this moment.
In the distance, Wang Miaomiao was still lying on the ground, even after the pressure from Wang Jian had disappeared. She still wanted to leave, but she could not get up due to her injuries.
Fortunately, a hand appeared before her, reaching down to help her up. Wang Miaomiao reflexively grabbed it, but when she looked up, her face went blank.
"I’m late, Miss Wang." It was a familiar voice, one that Wang Miaomiao had dreamed of hearing again. This was the voice of someone whom she had longed to see in her dreams.
Her eyes grew red. "Lu Qi?"
The man standing before her was none other than Lu Qi. How could he not have appeared when the Lu family was exacting its revenge?
Naturally, the location of Wang Jian and everyone else had been leaked by Wei Rong.
Wang Miaomiao viciously shoved Lu Qi away. "Stay away from me!"
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and simply picked Wang Miaomiao up. "You were coming after me, and I know where your heart lies."
Wang Miaomiao blushed brightly with embarrassment, and she struggled to get away. "Lu Qi, let me go, you bastard!"
Lu Qi completely ignored her protestations.
Some distance away, Wang Jian noticed Lu Qi’s actions, even while fighting against Leng Qing. The Progenitor roared, "Lu Qi, release Miaomiao!"
Lu Qi turned to look at Wang Jian, and his expression fell. "Progenitor Jian, when my Lu family was exiled, were you a part of it?"
