Lu Yin stared at Shichu. "How can we be absolutely safe?"
Shichu scoffed. "Kid, what a childish question. Of course they'll prioritize eliminating any living beings that threaten them. Like you."
"Eliminate?"
"Exactly. Eliminate."
"Can they do that?"
"That depends on the cost. If they don't eliminate you, they might die. That cost is more than enough."
Lu Yin's unease grew stronger. Sure enough, things weren't as simple as he'd thought. If the Four Great Masters wanted to cultivate anew, they would first have to ensure that he posed no threat to their lives. In that case, killing him would be the best option. But if they couldn't kill him, they would have other ways.

This wasn't simply revenge born of hatred after their recovery. It was about the new era and their own lives. Nothing mattered more to them than staying alive.
Wang Wen smiled. "So those four old geezers will definitely come after you with everything they've got. Chess Piece Dao Master, are you willing?"
Lu Yin looked at Wang Wen. "What about the Mitian Grand Plan?"

Wang Wen said nothing. His expression gradually grew calm, and his gaze turned more solemn than ever. "I don't know."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. He didn't know? How could that be possible?
Things had reached this point. When the Four Great Masters came after him, when they set out to eliminate every threat, he would be in danger. He would never betray Lord Mi, and he couldn't find Lord Mi either. So the Mitian Grand Plan must have accounted for this from
