In the boundless dark space, there was only this one corridor. Underneath Lu Yin's feet was the corridor floor. Taking a step back, he would merge into the boundless darkness.
Lu Yin frowned tightly, lifted his foot, and walked straight ahead. At the entrance of the corridor was a stone slab, merging as one with the entire corridor. On the stone slab were engraved rows of names, and most of these names ended with the two characters 'White Night'. White Night was a surname, representing a certain inheritance. Thinking of what Xia Luo had said about a powerful race in the universe, Lu Yin knew that this stone must be the inheritance item of this so-called White Night clan.
On the top of the stone slab was engraved a name -- True Martial Night King.
The moment he saw this name, Lu Yin's eyes seemed to sweep across boundless space, seeing a man standing tall in the starry sky, peerless in his aura. However, in an instant, Lu Yin regained his senses, his eyes shaking. Just a name could make him lose his mind. True Martial -- Night King, Night King, White Night. Who exactly was this person?
Suppressing the tremor in his heart, Lu Yin shifted his gaze, looking into the corridor. He lifted his foot and took another step forward, this step entering the corridor.
At the same time, deep within the universe, in the center of an ancient continent, a towering stone stele reached an unseen height, as if piercing through the sky, exuding terrifying power that made the stars tremble.
In the middle section of the stone stele, two shining stones revolved around the stele, slowly rotating.
At the very bottom, several figures stood silently, their bodies covered in dust. If one didn't look closely, they might be mistaken for sculptures.
The moment Lu Yin stepped into the corridor, his image appeared on the bottom level of the stone stele, very blurry, impossible to see clearly at all.
"Another new clan member has entered, I wonder how high he can reach."
"The current clan members are becoming more and more unimaginable, their talent is getting worse and worse."
"No need to interfere with these things. Even if their talent is lacking, they are still members of our White Night clan. When our White Night clan goes out, anyone can crush countless geniuses."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't the stolen Ancient Stone been retrieved yet? The work efficiency is too low."
"No need to rush. In the universe, no one dares to have designs on our White Night clan's inherited Ancient Stone. It will return soon. However, the clan member who stole the Ancient Stone must be severely punished."
"That clan member's talent is peculiar. Killing him is a pity."
"It doesn't matter. The child that appeared in this generation, the others are not important. That child is the future hope of our White Night clan."
Having said that, several people unconsciously raised their heads, their eyes sweeping across a vast distance, looking towards the very top of the stone stele. An image of a figure flickered with light, exactly the same, like a real person, climbing to the top, overlooking all living beings.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's image on the bottom level of the stone stele disappeared. The few people looked over, sighed in disappointment, "Even his appearance couldn't be manifested, too poor. Could it be that this generation's fortune has all been taken by that child? Too cruel to others."
"Not entirely. There were still two children climbing up just now, not too bad."
Inside the corridor, the moment Lu Yin took his first step, he felt boundless oppression. This wasn't physical oppression, but spiritual. The solitary darkness almost swallowed him. The further he went in, the thicker the sense of loneliness and despair became. And at the three-meter mark, a fist appeared in the darkness, flashing with white light, directly knocking him out of the corridor and falling into the shadows. In an instant, he regained his senses. What caught his eye was the surprised gazes of Zhang Ding Tian and the others.
"What are you guys looking at me for?" Lu Yin asked.
Jenny Ona looked at Lu Yin like he was a monster, "You... succeeded?"
Lu Yin shook his head, "No."
"Liar, just now your body was filled with ancient aura, you definitely succeeded!" Jenny Ona said in disbelief, she really wanted to know something.
Lu Yin said indifferently, "I don't need to explain it to you."
Jenny Ona was furious. She had inadvertently learned from her father that the escaped criminal was actually a member of that legendary terrifying great clan, and he carried that clan's inheritance stone. So she had come to try her luck. Her father hadn't stopped her because, except for those with that clan's bloodline, no one could successfully receive the inheritance. But what was happening now? Not only had someone succeeded, but there were three of them who had just appeared. She felt her life's values being challenged.
Only high-ranking officials knew Qing Yu's identity. The disciples almost didn't know at all, and those who had heard his full name didn't know what it represented. This was the limitation of their vision, the sadness of the borderlands of the universe. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Jenny Ona coming here, all the disciples would have come to seek their fortunes.
Vision determined a person's future. Mo Nuo, without the strength of the Fusion Realm, was the strongest among all the trial participants, but so what? Even if this inheritance stone was placed before him, he wouldn't recognize it.
Lu Yin swept his gaze across everyone, discovering that Zhu Shan and Wu Sheng had already left. Only Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue remained. From their looks, he knew they hadn't succeeded. The only ones left were the green-clothed woman and Xia Luo.
Very quickly, the green-clothed woman opened her eyes and exhaled, looking at everyone with a smug gaze. Then she saw Xia Luo still sitting cross-legged, and her expression instantly changed, becoming somewhat uncomfortable, as if Xia Luo was better than her.
Jenny Ona saw the green-clothed woman's discomfort and opened her mouth to say, "Don't think only the two of you succeeded. That little brat also succeeded."
The green-clothed woman was surprised and followed Jenny Ona's gaze towards Lu Yin, "You... succeeded?"
Lu Yin didn't answer. He didn't quite understand what it meant to successfully enter the inheritance, so he didn't want to say much.
The green-clothed woman strangely sized up Lu Yin, "You're not a member of that clan, are you?"
Lu Yin still didn't react to her.
The green-clothed woman became uncomfortable and was about to speak again when Xia Luo opened his eyes. At the same time, the stone fell, hitting the ground with a thump thump sound.
"Hey, what did you learn?" the green-clothed woman asked Xia Luo curiously.
Xia Luo smiled and said, "Didn't learn anything."
"Impossible, your time was longer than mine," the green-clothed woman said in disbelief.
Xia Luo smiled, his eyes looking towards Lu Yin, "How about you?" Lu Yin shook his head, "Didn't succeed."
"Liar!" the green-clothed woman shouted, staring at Lu Yin, "You succeeded too, didn't you? You definitely learned something, it must be!"
Lu Yin glanced at the green-clothed woman, then at Xia Luo, and then his gaze fell on Jenny Ona.
Jenny Ona immediately felt uneasy, "You... what do you want to do?"
The corner of Lu Yin's mouth turned up, "I almost forgot about you. Surrender. From now on, you are also a glorious member of the negotiation army."
"What negotiation army?" Jenny Ona asked blankly, not having time to react before Lu Yin grabbed her. Her strength was similar to Las's, and Lu Yin very easily subdued her.
"Bastard, let me go! Do you know who I am? You native, you villain! I am Jenny Ona, the heir of the Ona family! You dare to capture me? Everyone will surely go against you!" Jenny Ona shouted, glaring angrily at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin sneered, "I don't need to know who you are. As long as your words are helpful in the negotiations, that's enough. One Las, one you, the possibility of a successful negotiation is very high, isn't it?"
Jenny Ona screamed, but it was useless. Lu Yin threw her to Bai Xue, "Keep a close eye on her. This is a bargaining chip."
Bai Xue knitted her beautiful eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then nodded, dragging Jenny Ona out.
The green-clothed woman and Xia Luo didn't interfere. They had only come for this stone.
If possible, Lu Yin also wanted to capture them, but he really wasn't confident. These two were unfathomable, especially Xia Luo. He looked ordinary, but Lu Yin would never forget the sense of danger he had given everyone when he first saw him.
"Brother Lu, let me give you a piece of advice, it's best to throw that stone away, otherwise it will bring you unimaginable disaster," Xia Luo said to Lu Yin before leaving, and then left directly without waiting for Lu Yin to reply.
The green-clothed woman hurriedly followed after him, eager to know what Xia Luo had obtained from the inheritance stone.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. What Xia Luo said was exactly what he had been considering. This stone was very precious, but also the source of disaster. Keeping it would definitely attract unimaginable terrifying enemies, not something he could control at his current level. Not to mention him, even the Great Yu Empire wouldn't dare to touch it.
Recalling the string of White Night clan names on the corridor's stone slab, Lu Yin's scalp tingled. They were definitely a terrifyingly powerful clan.
Lu Yin didn't consider himself some kind of heaven-defying genius with incredible luck. It was impossible for him to protect the stone while facing such a powerful clan. He made up his mind to throw it away, but who to throw it to was a matter of skill.
Outside the capital city, more than ten students suddenly joined forces, intending to break into the city. They had all come for Jenny Ona. The Ona family was much stronger than the Las family. Jenny Ona hadn't come out for so long, and these students couldn't wait any longer.
Zhu Shan immediately ordered people to sound the alarm.
Lu Yin and Zhang Ding Tian were both in the underground science and technology institute. Gules, Ballaro, and Granny were resting. Only Zhu Shan was facing more than ten students, unable to even put up a resistance.
