Chapter 2291: Descending Upon Shenwu’s Sky

Returning to Shenwu's Sky at this time was no different than rushing towards death, but Lu Yin had no choice. He had to save those people. No matter the cost, he simply could not allow those people to be tortured for two entire months before they were executed.

The best thing for him to do would be to just leave and return to the Fifth Mainland. There was no longer any benefit to him staying in the Perennial World. He should use the power of Progenitor Chen and train. What good would going even do? After this mass execution, they would just organize another, and then another. Even if Lu Yin did eventually get his revenge, destroyed the four ruling powers, and killed Bai Xian'er, so what? Would it bring the dead back to life?

Not leaving was just being naive, as well as suicidal. However, Lu Yin knew that he would not regret his decision.

With the help of Progenitor Smoke's wei, Lu Yin raced across the Higher Realm towards Shenwu's Sky, desperate to make up for the mistakes that he had already made. He had completely underestimated Bai Xian'er, and he had no idea what sort of tricks she might have set up against him.

Progenitor Smoke said nothing to try to dissuade Lu Yin. There were certain things that were worth fighting for, and Lu Yin’s decision in some ways mirrored Xia Shang's choice in the past.

Far away from Lu Yin, chaos had erupted within Shenwu's Sky. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of Wu Yao's mouth. He stood atop a massive half-moon as he fought against Xia Ziheng, who used a birdcage formed from countless blades. It was a battle between two inner worlds.

"Wu Yao, just give up! The Celestial Frost Sect is responsible, and we will force your sect to give us an explanation for things!" Xia Ziheng sternly shouted.

Wu Yao yelled back, "Your Shenwu's Sky is behind everything! Yu Hao is one of yours, and you also put Long Ke in the Cloudforest Tower!"

"What a joke! The Celestial Frost Sect’s Cloudforest Tower holds top secret information and important treasures, which you, Wu Yao, personally protect. Who could have snuck Long Ke in under your nose?" Xia Ziheng retorted as countless blades slashed at the half-moon beneath Wu Yao's feet.

The void in the entire region was trembling. This was a battle between two Semi-Progenitors, and even Envoys as powerful as Xia Xing could only escape into the distance. They did not dare to get anywhere close to the actual fighting.

Xia Shenfei was still staring at Liu Shaoge from a distance. This person was an imposter. He was not a three-tribulation Envoy, nor was he Yu Hao. He was a fake. "Father, that person is a fake. The real Yu Hao ran away."

Xia Xing felt quite puzzled. "What do you mean, Yu Hao ran away? That person was pretending to be Yu Hao. The real Yu Hao must have died long ago."

Xia Shenfei anxiously replied, "No, someone else has been pretending to be Yu Hao before now. Elder Qi, catch him!"

An old man appeared behind Xia Shenfei, and he immediately captured Liu Shaoge.

Suddenly, a giant rose high into the sky and its presence shone down upon Shenwu's Sky with a holy light. The imprisoned jiao suddenly opened its eyes and looked over with curiosity.

As soon as the God of Food saw the giant, his expression changed drastically. "You beast!"

The giant was none other than Mr. Yu. The giant was the manifestation of his own inner world.

While it looked like some sort of divinity, from a different point of view, it was possible to see a disgusting ferocity and powerful resentment. This perfectly portrayed Mr. Yu, who had two contradictory personalities. Awakening the resentful side of himself was what had triggered his actions long ago that the God of Food could not forget, no matter how much time passed.

Mr. Yu became a giant. The giant both was Mr. Yu, and it was also his inner world.

Upon seeing Wu Yao clash against Xia Ziheng's inner world, Mr. Yu struck, throwing a punch at Wu Yao. "Release our patriarch!"

The giant’s punch caught Wu Yao off guard, and his half-moon nearly shattered, causing him to spit out blood. "I told you, Shenwu's Sky is behind this!"

Semi-Progenitor Chai sighed. "Long Ke did indeed just emerge from the Cloudforest Tower. My Wang family has also confirmed the matter. There’s nothing to argue about, Wu Yao. Stop resisting. You are a Semi-Progenitor—you shouldn't die like this."

Wu Yao was beyond furious. He truly could not understand if his sect was responsible or not. Logically speaking, they should not be, but the image of a beautiful woman kept popping up in Wu Yao’s mind. Could it be her? If so, why had she not said anything to him? If not, who else was capable of sneaking Long Ke into the Cloudforest Tower?

At this moment, Wu Yao’s communication crystal trembled, and he glanced down. He then quickly answered, as Bai Xian’er was calling.

At this moment, Mr. Yu threw another punch that smashed into Wu Yao. At the same time, Xia Ziheng's blade cage suddenly shrank down until it pressed against Wu Yao.

Semi-Progenitor Chai also took action. He wanted things to be resolved quickly. While the White Dragon Clan wanted Long Ke returned and an explanation for his disappearance, the Wang family’s Wang Zheng was far more important to them. He was one of Wang Fan’s own children. He was the family’s genuine patriarch, and he had to be rescued.

As soon as Wu Yao heard Bai Xian'er's message, joy covered his face and he looked up. "Stop! I know who it is! Yes-"

Before he could finish speaking, three attacks descended and completely smashed his half-moon. Wu Yao was startled, and his hand moved to retrieve something from his cosmic ring. As soon as he did, a cloud enveloped his whole body.

At that instance, the attacks of all three Semi-Progenitors faded away. The imprisoned jiao stared at the cloud from far overhead. That cloud was the power of a Progenitor.

Puff!

Despite blocking the attacks of the three Semi-Progenitors with the cloud, Wu Yao had still been terribly wounded. He dropped down onto one knee, and when he raised his head, his face was very pale. "Lu Xiaoxuan! It's Lu Xiaoxuan."

Xia Ziheng and the other two froze. "What was that?"

Wu Yao used Progenitor Ku’s secret technique to heal himself, and then a burst of pure rage filled his eyes. "He's Lu Xiaoxuan! He’s here! He’s the one who captured Long Ke and the other patriarchs, and he placed Long Ke in the Cloudforest Tower while pretending to be Yu Hao. He’s responsible for everything!"

Everyone automatically looked over at Liu Shaoge.

Shenwu’s Sky’s Elder Qi was standing in front of Liu Shaoge, and he ordered, "Junior, follow me."

Liu Shaoge did not try to offer any resistance. After all, it would be pointless. He was less than an ant to these people, so even if he had a plan, what sort of plan could an ant carry out?

It was at this moment that Lu Yin arrived, carried by Progenitor Smoke's wei. He did not hide himself. He had heard Wu Yao's roar as he was approaching Shenwu's Sky. Lu Yin knew that he had been exposed, so there was no need for any extra effort.

Lu Yin restored his true appearance, and then tore through the void with a bang as he descended upon Shenwu's Sky. "I heard that you’re looking for me?"

Progenitor Smoke spoke up. "You’ve been revealed by that girl. She’s more powerful than I had thought. I thought that I would be able to keep her trapped for longer."

Lu Yin was in no mood to care about such details. All that mattered was the current situation, so he would just fight! He had impatiently waited for this confrontation for a long time. This would decide whether or not the Perennial World would be able to stop him from returning home.

Everyone turned as one, and they saw as Lu Yin emerged from the void. Shenwu's Sky fell utterly silent.

At this moment, even the God of Food, a Semi-Progenitor who had lived for countless years, could not believe his eyes; Yu Hao was actually Lu Xiaoxuan? How had he done it?

No one could believe what they saw, nor what they had just heard. Was Yu Hao actually Lu Xiaoxuan? Lu Xiaoxuan had been impersonating Yu Hao? How? How had he managed to deceive so many Semi-Progenitors?

Xia Xing's expression turned ugly. This was unfortunate. With Lu Xiaoxuan exposed, he would definitely be captured. Then, how was Xia Xian supposed to get his hands on Progenitor Chen's blood? This was a problem for the sect master.

Xia Shenfei stared in a daze at Lu Yin, who was standing in the sky. This was Xia Shenfei’s second time seeing this person. The last time had been in the Dominion Realm when Lu Yin had overpowered the four Junior Progenitor almost single-handedly. He had left them all feeling overwhelmed and helpless. He had utterly dominated them and shattered their arrogance as geniuses who stood above all others from their generation. At this time, Lu Yin had returned.

Xia Shenfei's eyes started to blaze, and he threw his gourd of wine to the side. He was eager to see just how capable Lu Xiaoxuan had become. There should not be too great a gap between them anymore.

The appearance of a single person had seized the attention of all of Shenwu's Sky. This was Lu Yin, whom the Perennial World knew as Lu Xiaoxuan.

This was the same scene that had played out decades ago on Dragon Mountain. Lu Yin had been exposed back then as well, and then was pursued and hunted. This time, he had returned in order to save people.

There was a moment of silence, and then Lu Yin glanced over at the people lined up to be executed. His domain rippled through the void, and he suddenly disappeared, flitting through the void.

From where the people from Virtue Archives stood in the distance, Mr. Tang was shocked by what he had just seen. Had this young man’s domain reached the void god realm?

Lu Yin made no attempt to hide his domain this time, and it was clear to everyone watching that he possessed a domain that had reached the void god level.

The domain swept over the people from Shenwu's Sky who were poised, ready to execute the prisoners, and all of the executioners instantly died.

At this moment, the person closest to Lu Yin was Shenwu's Sky’s Elder Qi.

The man had lost all interest in capturing Liu Shaoge. As soon as the old man saw Lu Yin appear close by, he leaped up, and his Divine Martial Armor burst forth as an attack shot towards Lu Yin. "Die, Lu bastard!"

Lu Yin looked up, but everyone could see that there was no chance of escape. Elder Qi had locked down the void and space in the area. His attack fell onto Lu Yin, but it was Elder Qi’s head that was separated from his body.

It was a terrifying sight, or rather, it badly startled everyone nearby.

Xia Ziheng erupted in anger, "Lu Xiaoxuan, you’re courting death!"

As the man shouted, Mr. Yu and Semi-Progenitor Chai took action as one. Energy swept across Shenwu’s Sky. The ground churned and twisted, and chains shot up from below, seeking to capture Lu Yin.

This was Shenwu's Sky’s protective sourcebox array, and Lu Yin did not dare not to underestimate its power.

"Senior, please!" Lu Yin shouted.

Progenitor Smoke sighed. "I didn't think that I'd be fighting against the Xia family when I finally revealed myself."

She spoke as she watched the three Semi-Progenitors charge towards her and Lu Yin. She looked down at the chains shooting up from the ground, and a fog appeared around the woman. It filled the area, almost as if it had always been there. As soon as the fog appeared, the chains that formed from the sourcebox array were stopped.

A strange and mysterious power filled Shenwu’s Sky as an indescribably terrifying aura swept through the entire place.

Xia Ziheng and the other Semi-Progenitors all instantly froze, and they stared at Progenitor Smoke in horror. "A Progenitor? She’s a Progenitor?"

"Impossible! How could Lu Xiaoxuan be protected by a Progenitor?"

In the distance, the God of Food stepped forward as he stared at Progenitor Smoke. She was clearly a beautiful woman, but he felt as though she was completely untouchable. It was a strange feeling, but it was also oddly familiar. She was clearly a Progenitor. Just who was she?

Progenitor Smoke slowly said, "Even if Xia Shenji himself were here, he wouldn’t be able to stop me. You little guys need to step back."action

Xia Ziheng and the others stared at Progenitor Smoke in horror upon seeing her refer to Progenitor Shenji by name. "Who might Senior be?"

Progenitor Smoke simply replied, "Step back."

Behind the woman, Lu Yin approached the blood-stained stone pillars and looked at the face of one of the condemned men. The man begged. "I- I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Please help me! Save me!"

Lu Yin's expression practically transformed, and he shot over to the next pillar. He checked each of the condemned prisoners. These were not the people from Crimson Garden! Bai Xian'er had lied to him.

"No matter what, that last bastard from the Lu family cannot not leave Shenwu's Sky alive." Xia Ziheng turned his head to look at Xia Xing. "Sect Master?"

Xia Xing took a deep breath.?Lu Xiaoxuan, don't blame me for this. If I don’t act now, I won't have any future at all.

As the man was thinking such things, he looked up at the imprisoned jiao and muttered, "One time less."

He spoke just three words, but high above Shenwu's Sky, the glowing jiao’s eyes grew large. Suddenly, it moved. It let out a roar that echoed through the sky, and released a terrifying aura that left people’s scalps and caused the sect to quiver. The jiao’s aura shot high into the sky before spreading across the Higher Realm. The force of it seemed to shake the Mother Tree itself.

Countless people in Shenwu’s Sky covered their ears and dropped to their knees, unable to endure the pain.
