The people who fought on the rear battlefield were fighting against humanity’s greatest enemy, and all of them were heroes of humanity. Many of these people had sons and daughters or parents. It was too pitiful for them to die from such a scam.

Lu Yin suddenly remembered when he had tried to exchange for the Cloudguard Robes during his own time on the rear battlefield. At that time, the old woman had told Lu Yin that he would need to wait for a while; could she have been deliberately delaying the exchange?

If Lu Yin had died on that battlefield, would the Cloudguard Robes that he had exchanged for with Qing Chen’s merit points have gone to the Dealcut Association? Those Cloudguard Robes had been something that even the deputy commander had wanted.

This thought increased Lu Yin’s anger even further, and he raised a hand, immediately sending a death seal into Zuo Shan\'s body.

The man was terrified by Lu Yin’s actions, and he stared at Lu Yin in confusion.

Lu Yin indifferently commented, "I’ll give you some time to find a way to gather the names of everyone in the Dealcut Association who’s related to the business of selling resources and goods from the rear battlefield. If you do this, I can allow you to live, and I’ll even see that you climb to a higher position within the Dealcut Association than your uncle. Of course, if you don’t get me that list, I’ll make your life even worse than death. Go ahead and ask your uncle to remove the power that I just put in your body. In fact, ask anyone at all. Go ahead and find out if there’s anyone capable of doing that.”

Lu Yin then demanded the method for communicating with Zuo Shan’s communication crystal.

Communication crystals were rather similar to the Fifth Mainland\'s gadgets. Both allowed for visual and audio communications, which were both impossible with wireless jincans. However, wireless jincans were the only devices able to completely ignore all distance and even matters like being in a pocket dimension.

All three communication methods had their own pros and cons.

Lu Yin soon left, and Zuo Shan was left alone.

The man stared at his empty surroundings, and then back at Yu City. He gritted his teeth and quickly fled.

While Zuo Shan felt quite certain that the people who had interrogated him had nothing to do with Xia Zhitong, there was no proof of that. An unknown powerhouse had appeared from nowhere, and Zuo Shan’s first thought was of the Xia family. Xia Zhitong should not have mentioned the Dealcut Association to anyone from the Xia family, but was that a certainty? The woman was no idiot, and it was also undeniable that, regardless of how much she did to help the Xia family, they would never acknowledge her at all.

So who were those three people?

Half a day later, Xia Zhitong sneaked out of the Yu family manor in disguise. Fear and nervousness filled her eyes.

She had tried, but she really was unable to make any physical contact with any members of the opposite sex. When she had touched a guard, a burning sensation had appeared within her body. It felt like she was being bit by countless ants, and it drove Xia Zhitong crazy. She almost wanted to tear her own body apart to rid herself of the sensation.

The feeling might have only lasted for a single instance, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Yu Hao’s description of the poison had been perfectly accurate, and he had really poisoned her and given her the worst torture in existence.

As far as Xia Zhitong was concerned, there was nothing worse than not being able to have a man.

She traveled along the Bifrost until she was close to the Higher Realm, and then she went to find the members of the Xia family who stood guard over the Bifrost.

The Bifrost was completely controlled by Shenwu\'s Sky, so naturally, the Xia family had deployed experts to oversee the Bifrost.

Xia Feng was the current powerhouse on duty, and he was a four-tribulation Envoy who was on the verge of breaking through to become a five-tribulation powerhouse.

The man felt nothing but disgust upon seeing Xia Zhitong. She was a stain on the Xia family’s reputation. Even though they were both deployed to the Bifrost, Xia Feng made a point to never see this woman.

"Get rid of her." Xia Feng waved a hand while ordering Xia Zhitong to be driven away. He had absolutely no desire to meet with her for any reason.

Someone soon delivered a second report. "She started making a big commotion outside, which made it very awkward to force her away."

Xia Feng frowned, already losing his patience. "Show her in."

Xia Zhitong was quickly led to Xia Feng, and the man looked at her in disgust. "What\'s wrong?"

Xia Zhitong spoke in a very respectful manner. "Seventh Grandfather-"

Xia Feng cut her off with a raised hand. "You and I aren’t part of the same branch family, so just get to the point."

Xia Zhitong gritted her teeth. "I’ve been poisoned."

This was surprising information. "Poisoned? Then you need to detoxify yourself. What do you want from me?"

Xia Zhitong had no choice but to explain, "I know that Seventh Grandfather doesn\'t like me, but I really don’t have any choice. This poison isn’t something that can be dealt with through medicine. It’s the only reason why I came to look for you, Seventh Grandfather."

"If you needed the help of someone from our family, don\'t you have a good relationship with Xia Yuan? Why not have him help you?" Xia Feng asked.

Xia Zhitong stared at the older man. "Seventh Grandpa, our family worked to deal with Yu City not only because of the city itself. You should already know about how important the situation there is, and if anything happens to me, our family will suffer a great loss. Outsiders will believe that some remnant from the Lu family or their vassals is taking action against us in Yu City. If it becomes known that something has happened to me, then not only will I no longer be able to act as a warning to those who wish to help the Lu family in the Perennial World, but the matter will also fuel their arrogance. Please reconsider helping me, Seventh Grandfather."

Xia Feng sneered. "None of that has anything to do with me. Our family decided to allow you to marry Yu City’s Yu family. I have no responsibility for your life or death."

"I can\'t return to my family," Xia Zhitong said quietly.

This caught Xia Feng off guard, and he shook his head. It was true that Xia Zhitong had succeeded in executing the family’s plan for Yu City and the Yu family. They had been reduced to a joke in the Perennial World, and many people had been terrified into betraying the remnants of the Lu family in order to avoid the Yu family’s fate. However, Xia Zhitong had been sacrificed in the process. She was infamous and reviled, and she had nothing left to rely on. Even though she had acted on her own choices, the Xia family would never allow her to return. She was too much of a disgrace.

"I might have even been removed from the family registry." Xia Zhitong laughed at herself. She looked quite pitiful at this moment.

Xia Feng\'s eyes flashed. "Who poisoned you?"

Xia Zhitong replied, "Yu Hao."

"Yu Hao? Young Master Yu?" Xia Feng was surprised. "Isn\'t he dead?"

Xia Zhitong shook her head. "He came back, and he’s like a completely different person. He poisoned me, forcing me to endure the worst sort of torture imaginable. He wants to get revenge on me, and he doesn’t want to let me die an easy death. He wants revenge on the entire Xia family!"

Xia Feng snorted disdainfully. "How ridiculous! A mere junior wants to try to deal with my Xia family?"

The man then placed a hand on Xia Zhitong\'s shoulder to sense what sort of poison was in her body.

However, the woman let out a sharp scream, and she immediately pulled back, her face pale.

Xia Feng felt puzzled. "What\'s the matter?"

Xia Zhitong quickly shared the effects of the poison, and Xia Feng’s expression grew serious. The conditions for activating this poison could not normally be considered cruel, as nothing would happen as long as no physical contact was made with members of the opposite sex. And yet, this was indeed the greatest torture imaginable for Xia Zhitong, as this poison removed her greatest pleasure in life. What could she enjoy when her greatest pleasure had been stolen from her?

Xia Zhitong had destroyed her own reputation and lost everything in order to deal with the Yu family, and she had also completely immersed herself in her hedonistic lifestyle. But this move from Yu Hao had taken that one pleasure away. All that was left for Xia Zhitong was endless torture and humiliation.

Without the ability to enjoy her normal pleasures, the woman had grown sober, and many long-repressed thoughts had started to run through her mind.

How would the prospect of being unable to return to the Xia family or being removed from the family registry have meant anything to her before? She had not cared about such matters, but that had completely changed.

Her torture had only just begun.

Xia Feng did not touch Xia Zhitong again, but instead tried to use his stellular energy to remove the toxin from her body. However, he discovered that he was completely unable to sense any toxins at all. No matter how he searched, he could find no foreign substance in the woman’s body.

Xia Feng grew solemn. "What’s happened to Yu Hao? This is not something that he could have accomplished, as only a few decades have passed. Not even a Junior Progenitor could leave me completely helpless."

Xia Zhitong started to despair. "You can’t remove the poison?"

Xia Feng shrugged. "It\'s not that I can\'t remove it, but that I can’t even detect it. Are you certain that it’s poison?"

The man felt rather suspicious about the entire matter.

Xia Zhitong immediately started swearing and cursing, letting out all kinds of vicious language. This poison was indeed the worst sort of torture possible for her.

Xia Feng sighed. "I can\'t do anything for you, but it’s possible that the family can save you. You should go see Xia Yuan."

Xia Zhitong was dismissed as soon as Xia Feng finished speaking.

She left in a daze, and she turned to stare up at the Higher Realm. She needed to go see Xia Yuan? That was not possible, as she was not able to return to the Xia family. In fact, it might not even be possible for her to return to the Higher Realm!

No, I have to remove this poison! I can’t let this become my life, and I can’t go back to how things were. If I can’t get rid of this poison, then I might as well die. Determination filled the woman’s eyes.

Far away, Lu Yin found a location to go into seclusion.

Kui Luo found this quite odd. "Kid, your training sessions are always incredibly short, but you still go into secluded training all the time. What’s the deal?"

Lu Yin pursed his lips. "It\'s normal for someone to want to isolate themselves and train for a while after achieving a bit of enlightenment."

Kui Luo started mocking Lu Yin. "What a joke! You must be doing something embarrassing."

"Tong Yu, stand watch for me." Lu Yin immediately drove Kui Luo away, instead asking Tong Yu to stand guard. A sourcebox array was quickly set up, and Lu Yin started rolling his die.

He would never pin his hopes on Xia Zhitong. Since he was in the Perennial World, it was far more likely that rolling six pips would allow him to Possess a Perennial World powerhouse. Was there a better time than the present to try to do so?

Regardless of who Lu Yin Possessed, he would definitely be able to obtain some valuable information.

Lu Yin could not decide if his luck was good or bad, as he rolled Enhance twice in a row, never managing to roll a six.

After resting for ten days, Lu Yin returned to his die, and he finally managed to roll Possession on his third attempt.

As soon as his consciousness entered the dark space, Lu Yin discovered far more bright balls of light than when he had been in the Fifth Mainland. In fact, all of the orbs were brighter than when he had been in the Fifth Mainland.

Still, there were no lights that were bright enough to even come close to matching Lu Yin’s own strength.

His consciousness moved around as he searched for an optimal target, but he could not find anything.

Even the Perennial World did not have many cultivators with power levels of over a million.

Concerned that he would end up using too much star essence while searching for a target, Lu Yin realized that he had no choice but to merge with the brightest light that he could find.

After doing so, Lu Yin opened his eyes, and the first thing that he saw was a blade falling towards him. The sight was startling, and Lu Yin quickly moved to the side. The blade slashed through the air, and struck the ground. Lu Yin looked up to see Zhang Dingtian\'s confused face. Huh? Zhang Dingtian?

Zhang Dingtian was staring blankly at Lu Yin. "Master?"

Lu Yin was startled yet again. Master? Finally, the memories started to appear, and Lu Yin was speechless to discover that he had Possessed Liu Yijian, the master of the Graceful Sword Arts.

Liu Yijian was the first person whom Lu Yin had met from the Liu family when he had gone to visit the Sword Monument, and Zhang Dingtian was the man’s disciple.

Zhang Dingtian had just asked for Liu Yijian’s guidance, as the man had just received something from the Sword Monument. Lu Yin had not expected to Possess someone in the process of being attacked. If he had not reacted in time, Liu Yijian would have been hacked to death! Lu Yin found the situation to be quite strange.

"Your blade is very weak," Lu Yin said in a hoarse voice. It was clearly the voice of Liu Yijian.

Zhang Dingtian was taken aback, "When compared to you, Master, of course I am weak. However, can you see the weaknesses that need to be fixed in my blade, Master?"

Lu Yin stared at the blade that Zhang Dingtian held. Memories were still entering Lu Yin’s mind. He was hoping to learn more about Star Alliance, but Liu Yijian knew very little about that group. After all, the man was a member of the Liu family, not one of the four ruling powers. In fact, even if Liu Yijian were a member of one of the four ruling powers, it would not change much, as the man was only a four-tribulation Envoy, which was not high enough to qualify him to know any secrets concerning Star Alliance.

This Possession was useless.

"Master?" Zhang Dingtian found the situation more and more odd.

Lu Yin looked up. "Attack again with the same technique. Remember, use the exact same attack."
