Lu Yi shook his head, “It’s a cultivator who has been eroded by the Jiuyou Qi; I’m afraid he wanted to target Elder Yu Cheng.”

The faces of Yu Xuanyi and the others were somewhat unsightly.

“He definitely intended to take action against Yu Cheng! The timing just now was too perfect; Yu Cheng had just passed his tribulation and was at his weakest. If it weren’t for Yi’er being here, Yu Cheng might not have escaped this calamity!”

“A Jiuyou Cultivator… The aura of the Jiuyou Cultivator just now had already reached the Immortal Venerable Realm. Do we really have such powerful Jiuyou Cultivators in Sky Falling Star Domain without our knowledge?”

Yu Xuanyi and the others exchanged looks, their faces carrying an expression of disbelief.

All along, they had exercised the strictest control over the Jiuyou Battlefield, precisely to prevent cultivators corrupted by Jiuyou from leaving the Jiuyou Battlefield and becoming a scourge.

Over the years, they had thought they had done well. Although there had been some turbulence in the Jiuyou Battlefield over the years, and the situation had come dangerously close to breaching the defenses, the Sky Falling Star Domain had always remained peaceful.

This was what they had always been most proud of.

To their surprise, this tranquility was just an illusion. A Jiuyou Cultivator of the Immortal Venerable Realm had emerged in the Sky Falling Star Domain without their knowledge!

Even worse, he had come near Jade Star to assassinate Yu Cheng!

The faces of Yu Xin and the others beside were also unpleasant. At this point, Yu Xianyun thought of something, her face slightly changing as she spoke, “Yi’er, esteemed elders, does this suddenly appearing Jiuyou Cultivator bear some resemblance to the one who led a group of Immortals colonized by Jiuyou Qi into the Abyss Ruins?”

These words caused a slight change in the faces of Lu Yi and the others.

Lu Yi immediately thought of that Jiuyou Cultivator from before, who had taken away many Immortals from the Bolos Clan!

Back then, because of Nuke, Lu Yi had followed up on the investigation, and in the end, that Jiuyou Cultivator led the Bolos Clan and some other cultivators colonized by Jiuyou into the Abyss Ruins.

Since the Abyss Ruins were located at the junction between Crystal Spirit Star Domain and Sky Falling Star Domain, the Crystal Spirit Star Domain had even sent powerful beings into the Abyss Ruins to investigate; the result was a heavy loss.

Afterward, the Crystal Spirit Star Domain and Sky Falling Star Domain only stationed strong warriors on the outskirts of the Abyss Ruins instead of continuing to delve deeper.

Over the years, the Abyss Ruins had been quiet, and Lu Yi had even pushed the matter to the back of his mind.

Now, thinking about it, this Jiuyou Cultivator of Immortal Venerable Level, who had appeared in Sky Falling Star Domain unnoticed, was very similar to that one from before.

Yu Xuanyi and the others all furrowed their brows deeply.

“Could it be that there really is such a group of Jiuyou Cultivators hidden in the dark within the Sky Falling Star Domain? The one who entered the Abyss Ruins before was one, and now this one too! What exactly do they want to do?” Yu Yuanyou’s expression was fierce, filled with murderous intent.

“It should be said, what do the Jiuyou Demons behind them, exactly want to do!” Yu Boyun’s face was also frosty.

Everyone understood that Jiuyou Cultivators were normal cultivators that were eroded by Jiuyou Qi, their thoughts and wills completely skewed towards Jiuyou. Naturally, their actions also represented what the Jiuyou Demons wanted to do.

Lu Yi frowned slightly, his thoughts in turmoil.

“Perhaps, it’s necessary to go to the Abyss Ruins to see for myself. That Jiuyou Cultivator led so many into it; there must be a reason behind it. If I delve deeper into the Abyss Ruins, maybe I can understand some situations.”

Lu Yi’s words made the faces of Yu Xuanyi and the others beside him change visibly.

“Dive into the Abyss Ruins? That’s too dangerous. Yi’er, you can’t take such a risk!” Yu Boyun quickly said.

“Yes, Yi’er, many of our Yu Family ancestors have entered the Abyss Ruins. Even without going deeper, it’s fraught with danger, and those who went deeper almost had a fate worse than death,” Yu Ying also hurriedly said.

“Yes, Yi’er, we should consider this matter carefully over the long term.”

Yu Xin, Yu Xianyun, and others all ardently tried to persuade him.

Lu Yi smiled slightly, “Honored elders, I understand your concerns. But you also know my strength; even when facing Immortal King level powerhouses, I can leave without any problems if I’m not a match for them. The Abyss Ruins were originally the domain of the Fate Immortal King, and the Fate Clan was cursed and likely exterminated not long after the Fate Immortal King entered the Jiuyou World. There might be some connection, and I want to see it for myself.”

“This…”

The high echelons of the Yu Family looked at each other.

Again, they thought of Lu Yi’s foot that had shattered space, and how he even blocked an attack from an Immortal King Level without much effort!

They realized then that Lu Yi’s power was far greater than they had imagined!

Just then, Yu Cheng, who had been recovering and healing, opened his eyes and slowly said, “Yi’er, wait a while, let this old man consolidate his realm first. Then I will go with you. With the two of us, both at the Immortal King Level, we can face even the Cosmic Forbidden Zone.”

At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Yu Ying nodded, “Indeed, that’s better. With Elder Yu Cheng and you, Yi’er, looking out for each other, safety will be significantly increased.” Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yu Xuanyi’s eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, “If possible, let’s wait another hundred years or so. By then a few of us should have also made a breakthrough. When the time comes, with three or four Immortal Kings, no matter if it’s the domain of an ancient Immortal King, we can flatten it!”

Hearing this, Lu Yi hesitated, then nodded slightly and smiled, “In that case, let’s wait a bit longer.”
