What Shi Chu possessed might not have been limited to just three eras. It might even have known things from much further back. It knew too much.
No living being had survived longer than it.
Wait.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of a living being: the Great Turtle.
The Great Turtle born from the Mother Tree.
The Four Great Yu had once said that the Great Turtle was the oldest living being. It might even predate Shi Chu. Could it know something about Shi Chu?
If it did, its disappearance would make sense.
Things looked grim.
Lu Yin let out a breath and erased the lump of flesh by his feet. There was no point thinking about anything else now.
Saint Shang was dead. Now he had to deal with Shi Chu.
But before that, there was Xiang Siyu.
Thinking of her, Lu Yin used Instant Movement and returned to the Heavenly Sect.
He hadn't tried to find Shi Chu through that lump of flesh. Since Shi Chu had sent this Time Spirit, it had surely made thorough preparations. The only thing Lu Yin couldn't figure out was how Shi Chu had found Saint Shang.
After returning to the Heavenly Sect, he contacted Yun Tan to see if Xiang Siyu had told Shi Chu where Saint Shang was. If she had, then Xiang Siyu had some way to contact Shi Chu. Of course, being able to contact it didn't mean she could find it. Otherwise, she would surely have told him where Shi Chu was.
Xiang Siyu was every bit as eager as he was to kill Shi Chu.
Yun Tan asked on Lu Yin's behalf, but received no reply.
"Reporting to Lord Lu, the Yin God Festival competition is approaching. Should it be held as scheduled?" Chang Zai asked respectfully
