Chapter 133: Chi Yu is Dead Too

A terrifying aura descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire Sanctuary Tower!

In that instant, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat as a massive wave of dread surged within them.

The people who had been rushing forward to deal with Lu Jin froze on the spot, not daring to move even a fraction of an inch.

Lu Jin’s expression shifted slightly. He recognized the owner of the voice. It was the Holy Lord from the ninth floor, Qin Jiuhuang.

The fact that Qin Jiuhuang was willing to protect him the moment he was threatened made Lu Jin nod inwardly.

Saving Qin Jiuhuang had been a gamble, but it seemed he had bet correctly!

“We wouldn’t dare!”

Faced with such a threat, Lu Xingdao recovered from his shock and immediately cupped his hands toward the void. His attitude was one of extreme piety.

“Senior, this is a misunderstanding! We had no intention of disturbing you. Please, Senior, forgive us!”

He had no idea who the person above was, but in this moment, apologizing was the only correct move!

However, Qin Jiuhuang’s voice remained filled with immense fury.

Lu Jin was his savior. Since these people dared to treat him this way, Qin Jiuhuang naturally wouldn’t let it slide!

“In this Blood Moon Holy Land, anyone who dares to touch Lu Jin is provoking This Seat! There is only one outcome for such an act: death!”

The voice was like muffled thunder, vibrating back and forth within the tower. The echoes lingered, shaking the very souls of those present!

“Yes, yes, yes! This Junior shall remember!”

“We will withdraw immediately! We will never disturb Senior again!”

As soon as Lu Xingdao finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the crowd in a hasty retreat out of the Sanctuary Tower.

Elder Chi Yu’s expression was incredibly complex. Such a perfect opportunity had actually been missed!

Just who had Lu Jin encountered inside the Sanctuary Tower? That person’s aura was powerful, completely transcending their own strength. Who could it be?

As she retreated, Elder Chi Yu pondered the situation, eventually letting out a helpless sigh.

With such a powerful existence protecting Lu Jin, it seemed it would be difficult to eliminate him in the near future.

I must first investigate who this person is before making another move!

Seeing the group withdraw, Lu Jin cupped his hands toward the upper floors.

“Many thanks, Holy Lord!”

The voice that drifted down was much softer now.

“Lu Jin, This Seat still needs time to recover. Since you are a newcomer, This Seat shall give you a gift as a small token of my gratitude.”

Buzz…

As Qin Jiuhuang’s voice faded, a golden light drifted down from above. It was a spatial ring.

“This is a spatial ring This Seat swallowed and hid within my stomach for many years. Inside is an induction stone to open the Inner Sects cultivation secret realm. I hope it proves useful to you.”

Lu Jin thought for a moment before putting the spatial ring away.

“Then this disciple shall not be polite. Thank you, Holy Lord!”

Qin Jiuhuang replied, “Compared to the kindness of saving my life, this small gesture is insignificant. Once This Seat emerges, returns to my peak, and reclaims everything that belongs to me, I shall thank you properly!”

Lu Jin smiled. “The Holy Lord needs to recover well. Over the years, the Blood Moon Ancestor’s cultivation has surely reached an unfathomable level. I hope the Holy Lord can break through again and reach a level of strength capable of contending with him!”

Qin Jiuhuang said, “Indeed. Strength is the foundation of everything. This Seat will endure for a while longer and plan meticulously!”

Hearing this, Lu Jin laughed. “When the time comes, this disciple will bring some men of ambition who wish to oppose the Blood Moon Ancestor to join the Holy Lord’s camp! Please cultivate well, Holy Lord. This disciple shall take his leave!”

After speaking, Lu Jin stepped out of the Sanctuary Tower.

However, the moment he exited the tower, he saw a scene that ignited his fury!

Yan Mo and Tang Liu were currently tied up with Qi ropes, forced to their knees on the ground. Their appearances were disheveled. Yan Mo’s eyes were filled with rage, while Tang Liu was a bundle of nerves.

“Take them away!”

At Elder Chi Yu’s command, several disciples grabbed the two of them, preparing to haul them off.

“Stop! Release them!”

Lu Jin barked, killing intent surging in his eyes once more.

If he guessed correctly, Yan Mo and Tang Liu had been captured by Elder Chi Yu herself!

“Senior Brother Lu Jin? It’s great that you’re okay!”

Seeing Lu Jin walk out completely unharmed, Yan Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Liu remained stunned throughout, not saying a single word.

He didn’t know what to say. Everything was beyond his control, so he could only leave his fate to the heavens.

Hearing Lu Jin’s words, Elder Chi Yu’s eyes darkened.

“They have violated the rules of the Blood Moon Holy Land and must be taken to the Law Enforcement Hall for punishment!”

After saying that, she looked at Lu Jin.

“Lu Jin, you killed Liu Ruyan and Yang Dianfeng, which also violates the laws of the Holy Land! Because that Senior is present today, this Elder will temporarily refrain from dealing with you. But one day, I will settle this debt with you!”

After delivering her threat, Elder Chi Yu prepared to lead her people away again.

“I said, release them!”

Lu Jin’s voice rang out, carrying a heavy threat that brooked no argument!

The moment he spoke, his spiritual energy billowed. A long sword appeared in his hand, pointed directly at Chi Yu!

Seeing this, Elder Chi Yu wished she could kill Lu Jin right then and there!

However, the person inside the Sanctuary Tower was too powerful, and she still felt a lingering fear.

If they hadn’t left the Sanctuary Tower, she wouldn’t even be daring to speak like this.

“Lu Jin, what do you think you’re doing?”

Elder Chi Yu’s eyes narrowed as she shouted coldly.

Seeing the two sides at each other’s throats, Lu Xingdao and the other Outer Sects Masters and Elders also had complex expressions.

The powerhouse inside the Sanctuary Tower had shocked them so much that they didn’t even dare to step forward to deal with a new disciple right now!

“Chi Yu, you were the one backing Yang Dianfeng and Liu Ruyan. It’s natural for you to be dissatisfied that I killed them. But if you insist on having your way, I, Lu Jin, don’t mind killing you as well!”

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire field fell into a shocked silence!

Too domineering! Absolutely peerless arrogance!

“Hmph! This isn’t the inside of the Sanctuary Tower!”

Elder Chi Yu let out a cold snort, clearly reaching her breaking point!

She was a dignified Elder of the Blood Moon Holy Land’s Outer Sects, a figure held in high esteem and treated as an honored guest by countless sects. Today, she had not only been humiliated by Lu Jin multiple times, but her disciples had been killed right in front of her. She hadn’t even been able to stop Liu Ruyan’s soul from being scattered!

Now that she was being targeted and provoked by Lu Jin again, even though she was forcing herself to endure, her eyes were icy and her words were full of threats!

“A mere ant dares to bark at this Elder! Lu Jin, mark my words. I will make you pay back today’s grudge a hundredfold in the future!”

Just as Elder Chi Yu finished speaking, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly swept across the void. While everyone’s faces filled with shock, a streak of light instantly pierced through Elder Chi Yu’s chest!

“Huh? This is…”

“Elder Chi Yu has been killed! Heavens!”

“Something flew out from the Sanctuary Tower!”

“That expert made a move! What terrifying methods… killing someone from a thousand zhang away is as easy as reaching into a pocket!”

The disciples’ eyes were filled with terror. Some even thought they were dreaming; it felt that surreal!

As her chest was pierced, Elder Chi Yu’s eyes were instantly flooded with horror!

In that preceding moment, she hadn’t even had the chance to resist!

But she would never have the chance to resist again. Another bolt of spiritual energy flew out from the Sanctuary Tower, directly blowing Chi Yu’s head apart…

Footnotes: 

TN1: “A thousand zhang” (千丈): A zhang is about 3.3 meters, so this is roughly 3.3 kilometers. It emphasizes the incredible range and precision of the Holy Lord’s attack.

Translator’s Note: Holy crap! I knew the Holy Lord was going to be a heavy hitter, but sniping an Elder from inside the tower while she’s talking trash outside? That is the definition of “finding out” after “fucking around.” Poor Chi Yu thought she was safe just because she stepped out the front door. And Lu Jin just casually pointing his sword at an Elder like it’s Tuesday? The man has zero chill and I love it. What do you think is in that secret realm the induction stone opens? Drop a comment — do you think the Blood Moon Ancestor already knows the real Holy Lord is loose, or is he in for the surprise of his life?
