This was a two-way Relocation Rune. It connected two places and allowed both of them to enter and exit.
If Su Ming had stepped onto the meteor, then once the Rune had accumulated its power and was ready to attack, he would have been forcefully relocated to a specific region, where the powerful warriors of the Yu Family would have attacked together.
Su Ming might not have been able to tell that there was a Relocation Rune in the meteor, but he had managed to deduce that there was something off about this place based on the old man's actions.
The old man's concealment was too fake in Su Ming's eyes.
There might be something strange about this concealment, but Su Ming had indeed been unable to detect his existence when he swept his divine sense past the area, just like how he could not detect the Relocation Rune.
However, once Su Ming destroyed a large number of meteors with the runic symbols, the old man might have looked as if he had been forced out, but in truth, if he had truly wanted to escape, he could have left the meteor region.
However, he did not leave. Instead, he pretended to hide, then pretended to come out. All of this was to lure Su Ming into attacking and destroying some of the meteors.
This sort of destruction seemed to be a signal, and it also seemed like he was trying to achieve some sort of goal.
This was the outer gate of the Yu Family in Black Ink Planet. The first sentence the old man said had eagerly stated his identity, and he also eagerly stated where this place belonged to. All of this might have seemed normal, but in truth, he had done it intentionally.
Because of it, Su Ming could generally tell what this person's goal was. He was certain that Su Ming had offended Black Ink Planet and the Yu Family.
If this matter needed to be confirmed, then it would be easier to explain some of the old man's actions. Chasing after the Abyss Dragon was his own will. Even if he ran into trouble because of it, it had nothing to do with the Yu Family. It was his own actions.
However … if Su Ming destroyed the meteors, then the old man would have secretly switched the date and the moon, causing his personal matter to turn into a fight between his family and Su Ming.
After all, every single Relocation Rune outside the meteors was incredibly important for a powerful family whose name could shake the entire Barren Lands of Divine Essence. It also represented their honor. Once they were destroyed, it would be as if they had been slapped in the face, and they would definitely not let it go easily.
It was a pity that Su Ming had seen through this. He did not step onto the meteors, but instead turned around and left. This immediately caught the old man off guard. If Su Ming left, then since the meteors were destroyed, the family members would definitely investigate this matter. With how strict the family was towards their family members, they would definitely find a flaw, and at that time, the old man would have to face severe punishment.
After all, this person was at least at the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm. In fact, there was a high possibility that he was a powerful cultivator in the later stage of World Plane Realm.
If it wasn't necessary, the family wouldn't easily make enemies out of such a person.
That was why he had used the map as bait in an attempt to trick Su Ming into coming here. When he failed, he had even spared no pains in using crystals as bait. However, when Su Ming looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through his heart, the old man knew that there was a deviation in his plan.
Thus, he changed his plan without any hesitation. Since the other party wasn't here and couldn't teleport to the main family, then he definitely couldn't let the other party leave. He had to summon the members of the main family here while the other party was still here. This way … if they were to fight, this matter wouldn't have much to do with him.
Even if the reason was found out in the future, the enmity between the main family and the other party had already been formed, so there was no other choice.
The formation rumbled and a dazzling white light swept out from the meteor. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire area. As the formation activated, three figures walked out from within the formation.
There were two men and one woman. One of them was a middle-aged man with a dark expression on his face. The man and woman behind him were both youths, but the ripples of power belonging to those in the middle stage of World Plane Realm spread out from them.
It was especially so for the middle-aged man. His level of cultivation had already reached the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm. With this level of cultivation, he could already fight against Zhao Family's Progenitor. Even though his level of cultivation was still slightly lacking, it was still enough for him to become the overlord of a region.
At the instant Su Ming saw these three people, he immediately formed an indirect impression towards Black Ink Planet. Black Ink Planet's Yu Family had already allowed Su Ming to see two cultivators in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, five in the initial stage of World Plane Realm, and an innumerable number of cultivators in Heaven Cultivation Realm.
This was clearly just the tip of the iceberg for the Yu Family!
Su Ming might not know what sort of status the Yu Family had in Black Ink Planet, but based on this tip of the iceberg, he could tell that Black Ink Planet was … an ancient planet that had existed even before the fifth True World was destroyed. It was the only planet that had its Rune activated over the many years before Su Ming arrived, allowing the spirits in it to leave and escape the seal placed on it by the four Great True Worlds.
This caused the planet to become a cultivation planet that was no longer under the control of the four Great True Worlds! This was a free planet that was a lawless place in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence where many old monsters had gathered.
The strong were respected in Black Ink Planet. Without the attention of the four Great True Worlds, no True Guards would dare to come to this planet easily, which made it seem chaotic, but in truth, it was the most eye-catching planet in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
Most of the powerful warriors in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence would definitely gather here. There was a high possibility that cultivators in the later stage of World Plane Realm, and even those who had attained completion, as well as those in Lunar Kalpa Realm and Solar Kalpa Realm, would all exist here.
If anyone compared Sinful Barren Lands to a prison, then Black Ink Planet would be the darkest part of the prison, but it was also the only place where there was light.
Its geographical location caused the four Great True Worlds to be unable to conquer this planet, because the other side of Black Ink Planet was the true place where the four Great True Worlds were wary and kept a lookout over it … Divine Essence Star Ocean!
There were alien races in Divine Essence Star Ocean. Some of these alien races were left behind by the fifth Great True World in the past, but most of them were alien races from Divine Essence who were still mysterious and filled with awe even when the fifth Great True World was still around.
No one knew about the arrival of the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean, and very few people knew just how many alien races there were in Divine Essence Star Ocean. This place seemed to have formed its own system and had very little contact with the outside world. However, based on his conversation with the Duke of Crimson Flame, Su Ming had deduced that besides the Kalpa Lord and the True Progenitor, the legendary existences from the fifth Great True World in the past, the powerful cultivators who were believed to not belong to the five Great True Worlds … came from outer space. Outer space could be the world outside, and it could also be … Divine Essence Star Ocean.
As the only transit point between Divine Essence Star Ocean and the four Great Galaxies in Sinful Barren Lands, it was impossible for Black Ink Planet not to attract attention.
Su Ming had also learned through some other people's memories that Black Ink Planet was connected to Divine Essence Star Ocean and the four Great Galaxies, which was why it became the transit point for those who ventured into Divine Essence Star Ocean. Over the course of countless years, almost all the items and treasures in Divine Essence Star Ocean had appeared in Black Ink Planet.
In fact, alien races had even appeared in Black Ink Planet. These alien races could enter and leave Black Ink Planet at will, causing Black Ink Planet to become the only spot where they could trade with each other.
Because of this, a tradition that had shaken the entire Barren Lands of Divine Essence over the course of countless years in Black Ink Planet was formed. In fact, even True Guards would change their statuses and come to this place.
This tradition was known as an auction.
Auction halls of various sizes were incredibly grand places in Black Ink Planet, and each auction hall was managed by a member of a family. The size of the auction hall determined the status and power of the families in Black Ink Planet that had risen and fallen over the course of countless years.
Because the auction house was known for its integrity and strictness, the various families that ran the auction house had gradually formed their own clan rules over the countless years of reproduction. These clan rules were mostly for the sake of the auction house, and there were different types of protection and punishment for the domineering members of the clan.
When the memories he obtained from the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole flashed through Su Ming's mind, he looked at the three people who walked out of the Rune with a calm expression.
"I am Yu Chen Hai. Greetings, fellow Daoist. How may I address you?" The middle-aged man who walked out of the Rune cast Su Ming a glance with a dark expression. Even though he could not see through Su Ming's level of cultivation and could sense the murderous aura and mighty pressure coming from him, his expression did not change. He wrapped his fist in his palm and spoke.
"Su Ming," Su Ming said slowly. He did not use the name Mo Su. After all, this name was rather famous in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, but he did not know anything about Black Ink Planet, so it would not be good for him to be too ostentatious.
"I see, fellow Daoist Su. Has the Yu Family offended you in any way?" the middle-aged man asked in a dark voice.
The old man guarding the place by the side was feeling incredibly nervous at that moment. He knew how strict the family rules were, but he had thought that once the family members arrived and saw that most of the meteors had been destroyed, they would immediately attack. As long as they attacked, everything would be simple.
However, the family members who came out did not immediately attack. Instead, they started conversing with the old man.
"I can't let them talk to each other!" The old man gritted his teeth and looked towards the unconscious Yu Luo by the side. He immediately let out a roar and rushed to her side. When he lifted his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Su Ming with rage that surged into the skies.
"You killed nearly a hundred of our family members, and we don't even know whether Yu Luo is dead or alive. You destroyed most of the meteors in this place, and you want to kill me? I will definitely not let this matter rest. If you want to fight, then let's fight." As the old man spoke, he stood up and charged towards Su Ming.
When the old man moved, the middle-aged man frowned slightly. He could not see through Su Ming's level of cultivation, but once he arrived and scanned the area with his divine sense, he saw the meteors and the old man's reaction, and he formed his own judgment in his heart.
He was originally hesitating, but when his family members attacked and he was about to attack as well to test Su Ming's strength, a brilliant light suddenly shone in his eyes, and his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
He saw Su Ming standing there and swinging his arm. Immediately, a large amount of shining runic symbols appeared out of nowhere. As they circled in the air, they instantly surrounded the old man who was charging towards Su Ming. Once they turned into rings, they shrank swiftly and immediately surrounded the old man like a seal, causing him to levitate in midair. No matter how he struggled, he could not move even a single inch.
"A seal that can make a cultivator in the middle stage of World Plane Realm unable to break free!" The middle-aged man's eyes shone brightly. Once he focused his attention on the runic symbols on the old man's body, he let out a hearty laugh and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards Su Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Su, with your level of cultivation, it must have been someone from a branch of my family who provoked you first. Please forgive us for this, fellow Daoist Su. I will definitely report this to my family and punish this person so that I can give you an explanation."
This time, there was not a hint of sullenness on his face. His laughter was hearty, and there was just the right amount of enthusiasm in it.
"Fellow Daoist Su, do you have a place to stay in Black Ink Planet? If you don't mind, why don't you come to Yu Family and become a guest there? "Yu Chen Hai asked with a sincere expression and a smile.
