Of course, Long Chen also wanted to know why.
He knew that the conflict between him and Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and Emperor Ancestor Donghua was far from a life-and-death battle.
Perhaps there would be some unexpected misunderstandings.
Either way, he wanted to know.
"Alright, let's go."
Long Chen's Death Reign was still the most convenient place for Ancestor Gods to move around.
Long Chen led the Primordial War Ancestor through the Death Reign. He had left behind a large number of Death Dragon Gates near Mount Buzhou. This time, he and the Primordial War Ancestor appeared directly inside Mount Buzhou.
Of course, they were not in the lake.
There was black mist everywhere, and no one was in sight.
"This place."
The Primordial War Ancestor felt that this place was strange. It was slightly different from the space of the Myriad Worlds, but he could not pinpoint exactly what was different.
"Let's go down."
The two quickly arrived at the lake.
"All Ancestor Gods inside Mount Buzhou, come to me."
The Primordial War Ancestor's voice reverberated throughout the world. This was the majesty of the Fourth Era's Ancestor God. Most of the Ancestor Gods here were from the sixth and seventh eras. Upon hearing the Primordial War Ancestor's unique voice, they all hurried over and gathered respectfully at the lake.
However, judging from their expressions, they did not seem to know what was going on. They just looked at Long Chen and the Primordial War Ancestor in confusion.
There were more than forty of them. Six of them were the Sixth Era's Ancestor Gods. Among them, Saint Ancestor Hou Yi, whom Long Chen had met last time, and Immortal Ancestor Skycloud were here. He was not familiar with the other four. Long Chen had not seen them the last time he came here.
When Long Chen swept his gaze over them, all the Ancestor Gods present were puzzled.
However, it was clear that only Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and Emperor Ancestor Donghua were missing from the crowd.
"Where are Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and Emperor Ancestor Donghua?"
The Primordial War Ancestor asked solemnly.
The Fourth Era's Ancestor God's sudden solemnity shocked all the Ancestor Gods present. They looked at each other.
"I saw them before, but they don't seem to be here anymore."
"Why didn't they come? Where did they go?"
The Creator Gods were all talking at once, but none of them seemed to understand what was going on. In the end, Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi said, "Battle Ancestor, I saw Demon Ancestor Nine Yin about two hours ago, but he's gone now. I'd like to ask, Battle Ancestor, what business do you have with them? If you're not in a hurry, wait for them to appear …"
Just as Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi finished speaking, the Primal War Ancestor said, "All of you, help me find these two immediately."
This was an order.
Hearing this order, even though the Elder Gods were still confused, under the coercion of the Primal War Ancestor, they could only scatter and search for Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and the others within Buzhou Mountain. Some of them entered the lake. Demon Ancestor Nine Yin liked to stay there because it was very beneficial to her.
"Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi remains."
Long Chen whispered to the Primeval War Ancestor. Now that things had developed to this point, Long Chen found it odd. Previously, Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi and the Nine Yin Demon Ancestor were often together. Now that this matter had happened here, Long Chen felt that the Primeval War Ancestor should know something about it.
The Primal War Ancestor gestured for him to stay. Then, the three of them headed towards the depths of the lake. This was a place where it was easier for Demon Ancestor Nine Yin to hide. But this time, it was the Primal War Ancestor who had come. As long as she was still here, there was absolutely no place for her to hide.
"Long Chen, what exactly happened?"
Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi asked in confusion. Long Chen recalled that when he obtained the Origin Dragon Soul of the Void Cosmic Dragon, Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi did not make things difficult for him. Instead, it was the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin who seemed unwilling. Now that he asked, Long Chen answered, "Less than an hour ago, Emperor Ancestor Dong Hua came to my Dragon Sacrificial Continent and tricked me into that lake. The moment I entered, I fell into the Nine Yin Soul Binding Array of the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin. Immediately after, the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin appeared. If I had struggled to escape, I would have been dead by now. Therefore, I want to know why the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and Emperor Ancestor Dong Hua are working together to kill me."
"Them."
Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi was confused. "That's strange. Why would they work together to kill you? That's impossible. Before you left, I also told them not to go against you. Although the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin doesn't like you, it's definitely not to the point of killing you. If she did, she would also suffer."
He did not believe it either.
In truth, before coming here, Long Chen did not believe it either.
He said, "I experienced it myself, so there's no need to lie. I can't believe it myself. The Primordial War Ancestor came here to understand the situation from the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin. But as you can see, they're not at Mount Buzhou. Clearly, they've fled."
The friendship between Long Chen and Patriarch Donghua was, in fact, hidden. If Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi knew that Long Chen and Patriarch Donghua were actually on good terms, he would probably be even more shocked.
The Primordial War Ancestor didn't say anything, but given his level of power, after searching for a while, he said to Long Chen, "We've come too late. These two aren't here, nor are they near Mount Buzhou. They probably fled immediately after attempting to kill someone. Since they're fleeing, that means they're trying to escape punishment. What you said is true, so I can inform the Elder Gods of the world to issue a joint arrest warrant for these two. As for what happens next, we'll have to find them first."
Clearly, if they weren't fleeing from punishment, why would they flee? There was no need.
"Strange. How could this be?"
Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi still had a puzzled expression. At this time, the other Ancestor Gods came over. They searched the surroundings and confirmed that they could not find the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin.
Long Chen swept his gaze across them. Among the forty or so, there were a dozen that he was familiar with. They were the ones who had chased him into the lake previously. These people also had puzzled looks.
"Replying to the Primordial War Ancestor, we did not find them, nor did we contact them."
The Primordial War Ancestor pondered for a moment before saying, "Pay attention to any movements related to these two. Next, I will mobilize all the Ancestor Gods of the myriad worlds to search for these two. According to the rules of the Ancestor God Alliance, if someone fails to report their whereabouts, they will have to bear a third of the punishment. If the offender is imprisoned for three thousand years, the punishment for failing to report their whereabouts will be a thousand years. Everyone, please consider carefully.
"Yes." Upon hearing the third punishment, everyone fell silent out of fear.
"Let's go."
"Alright."
Long Chen followed the Primordial War Ancestor, and the two returned to the vicinity of the primitive warship. The Primordial War Ancestor asked, "They probably fled to the myriad worlds' starry sky. The myriad worlds' starry sky is so vast. If the sixth era's Ancestor God wants to hide himself, it won't be easy to find him. However, I will try my best to get the Ancestor God Alliance to seek justice for you."
Long Chen nodded and said, "War Ancestor, to me, justice isn't that important. Forget about the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin. She just doesn't like me and has a violent personality. There's a chance she will act recklessly. What I want to know is why Thearch Dong Hua would ally with her. I told you before that Thearch Dong Hua even helped me before …"
"I understand. Actually, I'm extremely puzzled as well. But now, we need to find them to know the truth," said the Primordial War Ancestor.
Long Chen was helpless as well.
His mind was a mess, and there were too many things he didn't understand. He felt chaotic and needed to sort out his thoughts.
The Primordial War Ancestor said, "The Ancestor God Alliance has already approved it. They have now officially informed the Ancestor Gods of the myriad worlds to search for the traces of the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and Thearch Dong Hua. You just have to wait patiently for the news. My Guardian Diagram isn't perfected yet, so I won't be accompanying you."
The Primordial War Ancestor personally ran around for him and even communicated with the entire Ancestor God Alliance. This was already a great help to him. Long Chen was naturally extremely grateful to him. It should be known that dealing with the entire Ancestor God Alliance was an arduous and unrewarding task. The Primordial War Ancestor helping Long Chen in such a manner could easily make enemies for himself.
After all, there were Ancestor Gods who didn't want Long Chen to advance.
After thanking the Primordial War Ancestor, Long Chen was preparing to return and wait for the news when the Primordial War Ancestor said, "The Demon Ancestor Nine Yin is the sixth era's Ancestor God and is considered powerful. If she sneaks into the Dragon Sacrificial Continent for revenge and fights to the death with you, she will definitely cause you great trouble. How about this, I'll have a sixth era's Ancestor God stationed in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent and have him protect you and the Dragon Sacrificial Continent before we find the Demon Ancestor Nine Yin."
Upon hearing this news, Long Chen was simply overjoyed. He was filled with gratitude towards the Primordial War Ancestor, but he didn't say much. With Long Chen's personality, he preferred to silently repay others. Long Chen would never mistreat those who had helped him.
A drop of water would definitely be repaid with a gushing spring.
"No need to thank me. You are also familiar with this person. He also admires you and has long wanted to help you. During the doomsday, the first sixth era's Ancestor God you saved was him, Origin Sword Sea, Origin Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan."
Long Chen recalled that during the doomsday, Origin Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was attacked by the Sky Devouring Clan and was very weak. It was at that time that Long Chen saved him. Later on, he even relied on him to deal with the fifth era's Ancestor God Hunkun.
"I've already told him. You can directly go to the Origin Sword Sea and bring him to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first."
The Primordial War Ancestor had matters that required his attention and couldn't possibly follow him like a follower. Long Chen quickly arrived at the Origin Sword Sea. As expected, Origin Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was waiting for him there. This taciturn old man, upon meeting Long Chen, said gently, "I heard about this matter. It's indeed very strange. However, if there are similar matters in the future, you can look for me. You are my benefactor. No matter what, this old man will definitely go through water and tread on fire for you."
He was just like June.
Although he wasn't as passionate as June, his heart was still burning hot.
"With these words of yours, I won't be polite in the future."
