Chapter 1232: Bully

Chapter 1173: Bully

Ku Wei’s face was pale as he stared at Ku Lei. He furiously shouted in response, “Are you trying to kill me?”

Ku Lei’s expression was glacial as he slowly replied, “You’re just a bug. Still, tell me, did you learn the Yu secret art?”

Ku Wei secretly thought that he was too unlucky to have run into Ku Lei of all people. “No.”

“Do you really think that I’d believe that? You were able to obtain the Yu family’s slot for entering Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, so how could you not have also gotten the Yu family’s secret technique?” Ku Lei shouted sternly. He then raised his hand, and lightning blasted out yet again.

Back in the Mountain and Seas Realm, Ku Lei’s strength had been below Lu Yin’s, so this lightning was not overly powerful, but it was still quite fast. Additionally, due to Ku Wei’s power level, he was completely overwhelmed.

Ku Wei raised his hand and struck out with a Finger Tap, but this attack only made Ku Lei want to laugh. “How dare you use the Ku family’s masterpiece against me? You’re asking to die!”

He then raised a hand and thrust out with his own Finger Tap.

Ku Wei jumped in shock and hurriedly evaded the counter. He gasped for air as he stared at Ku Lei in shock.

At this time, Hui Santong came down from the sky and saw the two men fighting. He frowned. “The Neohuman Alliance is nearby, so this is not the time for infighting!”

Ku Lei replied in a low voice, “When did the members of the Seven Courts ever cooperate within Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum? There’s no need for you to meddle.”

Hui Santong was helpless, as Ku Lei’s character was rotten to the core.

Ku Wei shouted, “Ku Lei, don’t talk so much nonsense! There’s no way our patriarchs want us to self-destruct in here.”

“You aren’t qualified to fight against me! I’ll just teach you a lesson so that you know how you should speak to me here.”

Ku Lei then arrogantly raised a hand with lightning flashing within.

Ku Wei clenched his fists as he stared at Ku Lei. Ku Wei’s mind raced as he kept evaluating his chances of winning if he transformed into a guardian giant versus remaining in his normal form. If he did not transform, he might be killed, but there was no guarantee of victory even if he did transform into a guardian giant. Even without considering escaping from Ku Lei, Ku Wei felt that he might still end up being dissected and studied by his family.

Besides, transforming into a guardian giant might not let Ku Wei match up to Ku Lei, especially since Ku Wei still was not capable of using any battle techniques while in the guardian giant form. And a giant who could use nothing more than brute force would be at a terrible disadvantage against Ku Lei.

Suddenly, Ku Wei looked over at a familiar figure; who was that?

Ku Lei coldly snorted. He raised his hand, and lightning flickered out. “I taught you how to speak to me back when you were still a child! Kneel!”

Ku Wei pursed his lips. “In addition to being a part of the Ku family, I also have another identity”.

Ku Lei frowned and stared at Ku Lei.

Hui Santong also grew curious.

Ku Wei raised his head and proudly declared, “I, Ku Wei, am the captain of the Outerverse’s Great Yu Empire’s tenth Imperial Squadron, loyal to the Great Yu Empire’s Royal Regent, Lu Yin.”

Hui Santong was surprised and subconsciously looked over at Lu Yin.

Ku Lei’s expression grew cold. “Are you threatening me?”

Ku Wei laughed and pointed behind Ku Lei. “You can say that.”

At that exact moment, Lu Yin’s bubble reached its peak, popped, and released him.

Just as Lu Yin reached the ground, before he even had time to look around, a familiar wailing voice reached his ears. “Your Highness, Royal Regent, Alliance Leader, Seventh Bro, your lovely little Brother Wei is being bullied!”

Ku Wei mournfully cried out, sounding as if even heaven was set against him.

Lu Yin was dazed, and he looked over. Ku Wei?

Some distance away, he saw Ku Wei with an expression full of grief and anger. He pointed at Ku Lei and started complaining to Lu Yin, saying, “Your Highness, Little Wei picked up your scent and chased after you for millions of miles, just to confirm Your Highness’s safety and report back to the Great Yu Empire and the Great Eastern Alliance! However, this man,” he paused as he angrily glared at Ku Lei, “Not only did this man block this humble one’s path, but he also forced Little Wei to kneel to him! Your Highness, Little Wei is your man, so how can I suffer such insults? Your Highness, you must do something for Little Wei, ah!”¹

Ku Wei’s sudden soliloquy left Ku Lei dumbfounded; how could the descendant of one of the Seven Courts actually demean themselves to another in such a manner? Wasn’t this the behavior of a lapdog?

Hui Santong was also stupefied. This was his first time witnessing someone from the Seven Courts acting in such an undignified and brazen manner. It was utterly shameless.

It was important to have a clear understanding of what it meant to beg for help versus what it meant to rely on individual strength. What did having the support of a massive power like the Seven Courts mean? This behavior was none of Hui Santong’s business.

At this moment, Ku Wei wanted to rely on Lu Yin despite the rumors claiming that Lu Yin had been taken away by the Neohuman Alliance. So what? Who cared? Secure the support first.

Lu Yin returned to his senses and looked over at Ku Lei in an unfriendly manner. “Are you bullying my people?”

Ku Lei was caught off guard, as he had not expected Lu Yin to actually pick a fight with him over this matter. Out of instinct, Ku Lei did not back down. “This matter concerns my Ku family. This has nothing to do with you.”

“You’re asking for a beating!” After Lu Yin said these two words again, he raised a finger and flicked it, unleashing a tremendous force that rippled through the void and ruthlessly blasted Ku Lei.

Ku Lei’s eyes burned bright, and he transformed into a lightning bolt to dodge the attack, but the speed of lightning was not faster than the wind of Lu Yin’s finger.

The moment he was hit, Ku Lei almost spat out his internal organs, and he was knocked back a thousand meters. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Lu Yin with hatred in his eyes, though Ku Lei was unable to even say a word.

Hui Santong’s eyes narrowed. What a massive gap in strength.

Now, Ku Wei was dumbfounded. He had always known that Lu Yin was strong, and he had guessed that Lu Yin might have surpassed Ku Lei, but Ku Wei had not expected that Lu Yin would be this strong. This was not merely a matter of him surpassing Ku Lei, but rather one of utterly crushing him.

How had His Highness’s strength risen to such a terrifying extreme? The gap was mind-boggling large.

Lu Yin had become strong enough to hold his own against a thrice transformed Corpse Beast. Back when the corpse king had managed to fight off Yuehua Mavis, Xia Jiuyu, and the other experts atop the golden platform, Shang Qing was only able to gain the upper hand after using his Tri-Yang Technique to summon Progenitor Chen’s clone. This was the level of strength that Lu Yin had currently reached.

It could even be said that if one ignored external objects and power vessels, Lu Yin was the strongest person within Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum right now. After all, Corpse Beast was an unintelligent corpse king and was not capable of defeating Lu Yin on its own.

If Lu Yin returned to the Mountain and Seas Realm with his current strength, then he would be able to suppress everyone and even render Shang Qing helpless.

Of course, if Lu Yin had progressed in his cultivation, then the others naturally had done so as well. Depending on the person, they might have also improved substantially.

The wind from Lu Yin’s finger was able to force Ku Lei back, and Ku Wei’s expression became quite interesting to see. He quickly grabbed Lu Yin’s thighs and held onto them tightly. “Your Highness, Brother Wei missed you to death! You don’t know this, but when I heard the news that you were captured by the Neohuman Alliance, Little Wei cried countless times! I cried every day and night until my eyes were swollen! Your Highness…”

Lu Yin was left completely speechless. “Quit spouting crap!”

Ku Wei immediately stopped for a moment and then put on a brilliant smile. “Yes, Your Highness.”

After speaking, he arrogantly looked around in all directions before settling on Ku Lei. “You haven’t rushed over to apologize to His Highness yet? Are you blind? Or do you want His Highness to make another move?”

Ku Lei was furious, and he could not stop himself from spitting out another mouthful of blood as he viciously glared at Ku Wei.

Ku Wei felt smug, and when he then looked over at Hui Santong, he grew upset. “Kid, His Highness is right here, so why aren’t you hurrying to greet him? Show him the best of the Hui family’s hospitality. You’re so blind! You should be grateful that you’re still the Hui family’s inheritor.”

Hui Santong arched a brow. This lapdog was already dead in his eyes.

Lu Yin looked over at Hui Santong; Ku Wei’s words made some sense. After all, didn’t the Hui family normally entertain others with the Root of Intelligence?

Upon seeing that Lu Yin seemed to agree with Ku Wei’s comment, Hui Santong quickly spoke up. “Brother Lu, we’ve already agreed that each of us would stand guard for half a day, but there’s not much time left, and we’re also running out of time before Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum closes.”

“His Highness will be the one to decide,” Ku Wei directly answered, defying the mood Hui Santong was trying to set. In fact, Ku Wei directed a look at Hui Santong that looked like he wanted to beat the Hui family’s inheritor for being too unreasonable.

As soon as Ku Wei finished scolding Hui Santong, Ku Wei adopted a boot-licking smile and looked over at Lu Yin. “Your Highness, the Hui family’s inheritor is right—time is limited. You should hurry up and gain any advantage that you can as soon as possible. Don’t waste your time with that trash.”

As he spoke, Ku Wei pointed to Ku Lei, who grew furious again.

Lu Yin realized that, as long as Ku Wei was around, there was no need for him to even speak a single word.

Soon, Lu Yin stepped a foot inside another bubble.

Similarly, Ku Wei, because of his relationship with Lu Yin, also stepped into a bubble. Hui Santong was left to stand guard, unwilling to speak even a single word to Ku Wei. Besides, with Ku Wei’s strength, he would not even be able to shout a warning if the Neohuman Alliance arrived.

Hui Santong’s feelings towards the entire matter with Ku Wei was that a single piece of shit was enough to spoil an entire pot of soup.

Ku Lei inwardly swore that, after leaving the tomb, he would definitely report this incident to his family. This guy was too shameless, and he had completely discredited the entire Ku family.

It was impossible to know if Ku Wei’s arrival affected Lu Yin’s luck, but the next scene that Lu Yin saw upon entering a bubble was not a vision of Progenitor Chen’s clone fighting, but rather one of a flower garden. The garden was beautiful, and there were many exotic flowers and plants swaying in the breeze. Off in the distance, the sun was setting over picturesque mountains that framed a group of rustic thatched cottages. The entire place emanated a pastoral aura with its peaceful and natural feeling.

Looking at the flower garden that spread boundlessly before him, Lu Yin simply could not believe his eyes.

It had felt like every appearance of Progenitor Chen’s clone was accompanied by fighting, killing, and rebellion, but this flower garden did not match any of those themes at all. The moment Lu Yin appeared outside the flower garden, he squatted down and smelled the flowers.

This action completely subverted the previous visions.

Progenitor Chen’s clone remained outside the flower garden, and up till the moment that Lu Yin’s bubble popped, the clone did not move a single step.

Lu Yin entered yet another bubble.

This time, he was greeted by a normal scene, and he witnessed another battle. Progenitor Chen’s opponent in this battle was not an expert from the Daosource Sect. During the time of this memory, the Fifth Mainland had not shattered yet, and there were many familial powers in place. The universe’s situation was entirely different from modern times, as there was no Hall of Honor or Court of Seven Names. In fact, there wasn’t even any sort of distinction between locations such as the separation of the Innerverse and the Outerverse.

However, Lu Yin did not have any knowledge of the ancient universe, as he was only able to witness what the clone experienced, not read the clone’s mind.

Lu Yin witnessed quite a few more battles, including fights against experts from the Sixth Mainland.

“You don’t even have an imprint! You people from the Fifth Mainland will never understand the power that comes from cultivating an imprint.” These words came from a man who was dressed exquisitely and carried exceptional weapons and temperament. There were also a multitude of power vessels floating behind him.

However, Progenitor Chen’s clone only responded with a single word. “Stupid.”

It was just one word, but the elegant man grew furious at the response, immediately attacking. A divine imprint appeared behind him, and one of his power vessels released a powerful might that felt as though it could suppress the stars themselves.

Despite facing such a powerful attack, Progenitor Chen’s clone simply slapped out, which caused the man, his weapons, and his power vessels to all shatter in a moment.

This was dominance.

Lu Yin felt excited, as in this memory, the clone had only been an Enlighter. The opponent had used power vessels and wielded an imprint that made his attack powerful enough to threaten a powerhouse with a power level greater than 400,000, but that person had still been instantly annihilated by Progenitor Chen’s slap.
