Lu Yin had carried the statue halfway when he found someone blocking his path. It was Heluo Mebis.
"Sky Jialan is badly injured, and so is Chu Yuan. I'm the only one left who can stop you." Heluo Mebis looked at Lu Yin solemnly, her expression resolute. Behind her, her visualization of the Divine Tree continued to grow. She was ready to fight with everything she had.

He wasn't someone who could tolerate a quiet life, especially after what had happened over the past twenty years. He wouldn't put up with it.
Who could have guessed that Heluo Mebis would be the last to step forward? Even she had admitted she couldn't beat Lu
