Along the way, Qing Chen was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
A few days later, the sky was completely bright. Looking up, it was like a mirror. In the mirror, there were fish, water plants, and all kinds of beautiful scenes. Below them was a lake. This was the lake around the Dragon Mountain. The light was emitted from the inside of the Dragon Mountain, reflected by the lake, and displayed in the sky.
The lake was huge, just like the White Dragon Mountain in the Middle Realm. Each peak represented a civilization, and planets rotated slowly in the lake. These planets also had civilizations.
There were not many members of the White Dragon Clan, and it was not enough to support a Four Way Scale. Therefore, most of the cultivators in the White Dragon Clan were ordinary people. These cultivators came from the various planetary civilizations of the White Dragon Clan. Those planetary civilizations were like cages. Once a cultivator with extraordinary talent appeared, they would immediately be brought into the White Dragon Clan and step out of that world.
Dragon Mountain was right in front of them, and it was full of holiness.
When Qing Chen arrived with Lu Yin, someone immediately came to greet them. It was an elder with the strength of an Emissary. He was not a White Dragon Tribe member, but an ordinary cultivator.
They crossed the lake and stepped into Dragon Mountain. The rocks here were white, and the trees and flowers emitted a soft halo. It was holy and beautiful. It was obviously not Qing Chen's first time here. The Emissary elder said respectfully, "The chief asked me to take you to the Purity Sect. He said that you like peace and quiet."
Qing Chen recalled, "I came here once ten years ago to talk with Elder Long at the Purity Sect. I didn't expect Chief Long Xing to still remember. Lead the way."
Lu Yin quietly followed behind. They passed through many peaks and saw many cultivators, and those cultivators also saw Qing Chen and Lu Yin.
They were no strangers to Lu Yin, as he was a legendary figure to them.
Many of them had already planned to humiliate Lu Yin to deal with the main bloodline, but things had changed because of the battlefield at the back.
"That kid is lucky. Elder Quan was transferred to the battlefield at the back and can't deal with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave," a young man said hatefully as he looked at Lu Yin's back.
Someone behind him said, "The main bloodline won't be able to survive for long. Long Tian is trapped, and Long Xi is missing. The main bloodline has no successor. What can this son-in-law do? Once Elder Quan returns, the situation will change."
"What if that son-in-law escapes?"
"Think of a way to keep him."
"I'll contact someone."
…
Dragon Mountain was surrounded by lakes. Not only did the lake water appear in the surroundings, but it also flowed into Dragon Mountain, forming beautiful streams.
Pure Heart Building was a bamboo house in the center of one of the streams.
When Lu Yin saw the Pure Heart Sect, he felt a sense of familiarity. It was very similar to the bamboo house in the lake where Long Xi had trapped him in the White Mountain.
When Qing Chen arrived, Long Ke hurriedly welcomed him. "Senior Qing Chen, welcome to Dragon Mountain."
Qing Chen smiled. "Ten years ago, Old Dragon and I discussed cultivation here, so I'm not unfamiliar with Dragon Mountain. Where is Old Dragon?"
Long Ke said solemnly, "We're already rushing to the battlefield on the other side."
Qing Chen nodded. "On the way here, I saw the White Dragon Clan sending reinforcements one after another. Is the situation on the other side that grim?"
As the head of the Four Way Balance family, although Long Ke's cultivation was not as high as Qing Chen's, he knew the situation of the entire Starry Sky Tree far better than Qing Chen. Although Qing Chen was a Half-Martial Ancestor, in the end, he was a person from a poor family and was only responsible for dealing with Red Back.

It was not his place to meddle in the overall situation.
"It's not ideal. From what I know, the ancestors of the Four Way Balance have personally ordered half of the family's experts to rush to the battlefield on the other side. A large number of experts from the entire Top Realm, including the Middle Realm, have been called upon," Long Ke said solemnly.
Qing Chen frowned. "It's worse than expected."
"It's been so many years, but there hasn't been any problems with the array base. This time, we've been schemed against by those monsters," Long Ke said.
The two did not hide their conversation from Lu Yin, and as he listened, he recalled the time when the Outerverse had been invaded by the Sixth Mainland. They had also conscripted the entire Outerverse's experts. Actually, the Outerverse's experts had not been enough to deal with the Sixth Mainland, and they had only been able to hold out in the end because Lu Yin had invited Mister Mu. Then, with this desperate situation, would those ancestors be able to turn the tide?
Lu Yin thought of Mister Mu and shook his head. Even those ancestors could not stop the Outerverse, let alone Mister Mu.
"Senior, let's not talk about that. With so many experts heading to the battlefield on the other side, the situation should be stable. I've prepared your favorite Hundred Dragon Wine. This way, please." Long Ke smiled.
Qing Chen nodded. "Long Seven, follow me."
This was the first time Long Ke looked at Lu Yin, and his gaze was cold and dignified.
Lu Yin bowed to Long Ke. "Greetings, father-in-law."
Long Ke put on a fake smile. "Your cloudpassage stone isn't broken, right?"
Lu Yin had not answered his calls, which had completely offended Long Ke. Because of this, Qing Chen had brought him here to apologize.
Lu Yin bowed deeply. "It was just repaired."
Long Ke was stunned. He had thought that Lu Yin would sincerely apologize and at most come up with some excuses. Who would have thought that this kid would take advantage of the situation? Was the cloudpassage stone that easy to break?
Even if it was broken, couldn't he just find another one?
And if it was broken, Long Ke would be able to sense it through his own cloudpassage stone. This kid was shameless.
"Your cloudpassage stone has been broken before?" Long Ke raised his brows.
Lu Yin answered seriously, "It has been broken before, but I don't know the exact reason. Fortunately, it was just repaired."
Qing Chen was speechless. This excuse was too bad, but it was still a good one. When he saw Long Ke's expression turn uglier, he hurriedly said, "Let's go to Purity Sect and drink some Hundred Dragon Wine. I haven't had it in ten years, and I'm still craving it."
Long Ke forced a smile. "Senior, please." He then glanced at Lu Yin with a cold gaze.
As the leader of the White Dragon Tribe and one of the most respected people in the Cosmic Tree Galaxy, he had never been played by a junior like this. If it had been anyone else, he would have slapped them to death. Even if Long Xi dared to play tricks on him, he would have punished her severely. But facing Lu Yin, he suddenly did not know what to do.
Lu Yin was the leader of the Humble Huaiyuan Sect. Qing Chen would not look good if he was punished severely, but he would feel aggrieved if he was not punished severely. However, this kid did not seem to be afraid of him and did not even care about his identity as a White Dragon.
How could this be?
When Long Xian had been sent to the Flying Armor Pass by the main tribe, the remaining members of that branch had been scattered. It could be said that the entire branch was finished. Even so, they still obediently stayed in the Flying Armor Pass and did not dare to leave the White Dragon Tribe. As a member of the Four Way Balance, it was impossible for them to leave unless they were forced to the bottom line.
But why did Long Qi not care about his identity as a White Dragon?
With complicated thoughts, the three of them arrived at Purity Sect.
Lu Yin naturally stood behind Qing Chen, as there was no place for him to sit.
Qing Chen and Long Ke chatted for a while before the atmosphere eased. "My Humble School has been established for so many years, but there has never been a Hunter who has become a sect master. Patriarch Long Ke, your White Dragon Tribe has produced a true elite genius. Congratulations!

”。
Long Ke glanced at Lu Yin and then smiled at Qing Chen. "I wouldn't dare. I was just lucky, lucky."
Qing Chen looked at Lu Yin. "The Cloudconnect Stone broke some time ago, and Patriarch Long Ke could not contact you. You should have thought of a way to contact him instead of focusing on capturing spies. Come here and apologize to Patriarch Long Ke."
Qing Chen was also helpless, as he had not intended to say such a thing. Now, he could only go along with what Lu Yin had said and continue making up the story about the Cloudflow Stone being broken. As a Half-Ancestor powerhouse, Qing Chen rarely lied through his teeth, but Lu Yin had forced him to.
Long Ke smiled and took a sip from his wine glass.
Lu Yin pursed his lips, walked out, and bowed to Long Ke. "I was thoughtless. I only wanted to capture spies and made father-in-law anxious."
Before Long Ke could speak, Qing Chen reprimanded him. "Capturing spies is a good thing, but don't overwork yourself. Patriarch Long Ke is very worried about you."
"Yes," Lu Yin replied.
Qing Chen was satisfied. "That's right. You should communicate more with your father-in-law in the future."
Lu Yin nodded.
Long Ke was speechless. He had not spoken yet.
"Long Qi, I want to ask you about Long Xi." Long Ke put down his wine glass and looked at Qing Chen apologetically. "Senior, I want to talk to Long Qi alone."
Qing Chen smiled. "You father-in-law and son-in-law can talk about whatever you want. Don't worry about me. Just prepare the Hundred Dragons Wine."
"Thank you, senior." Long Ke looked at Lu Yin and stepped out, leaving the Purity Sect.
Lu Yin had no choice but to follow.
A hundred miles away from the Purity Sect, Long Ke stood on a mountain peak with his hands behind his back.
Lu Yin had arrived.
Long Ke turned around and stared at Lu Yin with a cold gaze. "You're really bold. You're the first person who dared to ignore me in so many years. Even Elder Long Quan never dared to ignore my calls."
Lu Yin no longer pretended and calmly said, "I, Long Qi, am from a side branch and have never been taken care of by the main branch since I was young. If the patriarch wants to use the main branch's authority to oppress me, then you've found the wrong person."
Long Ke said sternly, "If you didn't come from the White Dragon Clan, you would have died a long time ago. Lian Shan has not been annexed by the surrounding families because of the existence of the White Dragon Clan's side branch. If you didn't come from the White Dragon Clan, how could you marry Long Xi and join the Humble Class?
Do you dare say that you have never received the main branch's favor? "
Lu Yin retorted, "That's because I have value."
Long Ke nodded. "You used to have value, but Long Xi went missing. Your value became a sharp blade used by the Long Quan side branch to suppress the main branch. If I hadn't promised Senior Qing Chen to let you stay at Qingchen Mountain, you would have ended up in a miserable state.
"You should be glad that you have value. Otherwise, do you think that a mere Enlighter like you is qualified to see me?
Are you qualified for Senior Qing Chen to bring you here to apologize?
He values you, and so do I. That's why I'm giving you this chance. Long Qi, don't make a mistake. "
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "My value to Senior Qing Chen is to capture spies and capture Redbacks. That's how I established myself in the Humble Class. If I had promised you to frame Elder Long Quan, then once this matter was exposed, how would I be able to establish myself in the Humble Class? At that time, you won't care about me anymore, right? After all, I no longer have any value."
Long Ke had already made himself very clear. The people of this region had a fixed mindset, and they would not betray their families unless it was absolutely necessary. This was especially true for the Four Way Scales, but Lu Yin did not have such thoughts. He had been hostile to the Four Way Scales from the very beginning.
The Humble Class was the foundation of his footing, and he could see it clearly.
