Lu Yin frowned. Leng Qing was also from the Heavens Sect era, so his desire to help Chu Yuan was only to be expected. However, things would become problematic if the man tried to deal with Lu Yin.

There was no one around who would help Lu Yin.

"Did you not hear me? Release it now!" Leng Qing snarled as he raised a hand and threw the needle-like weapon at Lu Yin. The man aimed at Lu Yin’s shoulder. He was not trying to kill Lu Yin, but simply to stop him from competing for the Origin Progenitor’s sword.

The sound of a three-stringed instrument filled the ancient hall, and the weapon’s course shifted slightly. It stabbed into the pillar.

Lan Xian had taken action to block Leng Qing’s attack. She whispered to Lu Yin, "That’s another favor that you owe me."

Lu Yin was taken aback, as he had not expected any support from the woman.

Jiu Yao glared at Lan Xian. "This is their concern. Step down."

Lan Xian held her instrument. "I want blood from someone from the Lu family, especially Lu Yin's."

Jiu Yao frowned. He still had no idea why Lan Xian wanted his blood so much.

"Isn't there some over on that pillar?" Heluo Mavis asked.

Lan Xian was caught off guard, and she reflexively turned to look at a pillar. Sure enough, there was blood on the pillar behind Lu Yin from when he had been attacked by Forgotten Ruins God. He had spat out a lot of blood at that...
