Lu Yin looked at the Void Ring. The Little Sapling was inside the Supreme Mountain right now.
Could it really be the Mother Tree?
What King Ye had said wasn't impossible. What he'd previously refined had been the substance inside the Star Source Pills, a substance unique to the Mother Tree. Had refining it been what created the Little Sapling?
"Is the Mother Tree's substance difficult to extract?" Lu Yin asked King Ye.
King Ye relaxed. Lu Yin's question gave him hope that he might live; he still had value. "I've lived for so many years and tried for just as long. Apart from my talent, there's no way to absorb it. No other way at all."
"I dare say that if I die, no one else in this universe will ever obtain the Mother Tree's substance again. No one else will be able to help Alliance Leader Lu achieve immortality."
That was what King Ye considered his greatest value: his talent for absorption.
Lu Yin nodded. "I believe you. If it were possible, word would have gotten around long ago. Now show me how valuable your absorption talent really is."
King Ye relaxed. Lu Yin was interested, which meant he wouldn't have to die. As the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly looked at Yu Er. His severed arm twisted, and he slammed a palm into Yu Er's back. Yu Er was horrified. "Alliance Leader Lu, save me!"
Lu Yin didn't move. King Ye's strike wasn't very strong; he hadn't meant to kill Yu Er. He was only showing off his absorption talent.
As for Yu Er, he'd heard about her from Yu Mu. Although Yu Mu's account was biased, this woman had betrayed King Ye without hesitation. She wasn't loyal to him, so this was a good opportunity
