Greetings, Commander. "The old woman hurriedly bowed when she saw Xia Yan.
Xia Yan said, "Give him the Cloud Robe."
She didn't hesitate, "Yes, Commander."
Lu Yin relaxed. They were both commanders, and as long as it didn't go against their principles, Bai Chi and Xia Yan were on the same level. If Bai Chi could order these people to keep the Cloud Robe, then Xia Yan could order them to take it away as long as they had enough merit points.
After the exchange, the old woman respectfully said, "Commander, the Cloud Robe has been exchanged and is on its way here. It should arrive in at most a day."
Xia Yan grunted and looked at Lu Yin, "Just wait for a day. I'll have Liu Jing delay the split for a day as well."
"Thank you, Commander." Lu Yin was grateful.
Xia Yan smiled, "I should be the one thanking you. Without you, Master Zan and the others would be too arrogant and think that there are no capable people without them."
This was a conflict between the Lockbreakers and the headquarters, so Lu Yin couldn't speak about it.
"Master Deng Guo is a Realmforce Array Master, and even in the Lockbreaker Headquarters, he's a very powerful one. He's second only to the Array Heavenly Master. If you can become his disciple, then you'll have a lot of authority in your clan. After all, powerful Lockbreakers are very rare, especially in the White Dragon Clan. This region of space is also lacking in Lockbreakers," Xia Yan said casually as he led Lu Yin away from the old woman.
Lu Yin looked at Xia Yan's departing figure and was truly grateful that the commander hadn't treated him differently just because he was from the White Dragon Tribe. The Four Cardinal Scales weren't that friendly, and Lu Yin could sense that Xia Yan cared more about the second formation base.
There was no lack of people on the battlefield who were staunch about their clan's interests, and such people usually only appeared on the battlefield. No matter how arrogant Master Zan and the other Lockbreakers were, they were still guarding the back of the battlefield. Lu Yin respected this, so he didn't have any ill feelings towards Master Zan.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the Cloud Robe to arrive. Lu Yin looked outside with some anticipation.
Each formation base was a vertical triangle with a huge slope. If the Corpse Kings wanted to attack the Starry Sky of Trees, they would have to tear through the void and attack the headquarters, or they would have to climb up the slope. The slope was like an inverted piece of land, and the inside of this land was the center of the formation base. It could unleash endless attacks and slaughter the Corpse Kings.
It was precisely because of the existence of the array base and this unique geographical feature that those monsters were unable to attack the Starry Sky Tree for so many years.
A few Corpse Kings were climbing on the slope of the first formation base. Above their heads was the endless slope of land.
Suddenly, a giant cogwheel descended from the sloping land and tore apart a Corpse King. This Corpse King had the power level of a Hunter, and the other Corpse Kings were the same. They were all torn apart by the cogwheel that came after them, a scene that was all too common.
The formation base could release countless cogwheels of varying sizes. The small ones could tear apart Cruisers and Hunter Corpse Kings, while the large ones could tear apart Enlighters and Envoys.
After tearing apart a few Corpse Kings, a pair of eyes opened not too far away from the inverted cliff. The gaze was calm, but if one looked closely, they would be able to see traces of cruelty and excitement. "It's almost done. I just need to kill one more Envoy-level Corpse King, and then I'll have enough to exchange for the Cloud Robe.
As long as I can obtain the Cloud Robe, my chances of survival on this battlefield will increase by more than ten times. If my luck isn't bad, I'll definitely be able to complete his trial and truly inherit that clan's battle techniques. I'll be able to shake off my past identity and rise from the Frigid Immortal Sect to become famous throughout the universe. Soon, soon. "
A few hours passed by quickly. Occasionally, people would pass by, and occasionally, Corpse Kings would appear. They were quickly torn apart by the cogwheels, and there was no room for Bai Zhen to act.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. In the distance, a pair of scarlet eyes opened at the same time and rapidly approached him. The cogwheels appeared and viciously slammed into the approaching Corpse King, but they were shattered by the approaching Corpse King.
Bai Zhen's eyes lit up. An Envoy-level expert! He leapt out and raised his hand; it was Xian Fanyao from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
However, it was different from Xian Fanyao from the Frigid Immortal Sect. Bai Zhen's palm contained an indescribable power that caused the surrounding space to wither. A spatial crack appeared along the palm print and suddenly expanded.
The Corpse King roared and waved its hand. Its claws were pitch-black, and it was obvious that they were poisonous.
With a bang, the void was torn apart. Bai Zhen and the Corpse King retreated at the same time. The Corpse King's arm had been broken and twisted unnaturally, while black spots appeared on Bai Zhen's palm.
He snorted coldly and stretched out one hand with his palm facing down. Above his head, a vortex appeared on the sloping land and then expanded. In front of him, the Corpse King rushed out again. Its twisted arm had recovered, and the center of the vortex on the sloping land slowly converged into a gray needle-like object. It then shot out and pierced Bai Zhen's palm. The moment it came out of his palm, the poison on Bai Zhen's palm was drawn out and shot into the void.
Bai Zhen waved his hand, and another needle appeared and shot towards the Corpse King.
The Corpse King's eyes flickered, and it tried to press down on the needle, but it was useless. The needle pierced through its forehead, and at that moment, a giant gear appeared above its head and crushed half of its body. Bai Zhen attacked at the same time and smashed the Corpse King's head.
He raised his head and panted heavily. He had succeeded. The Corpse King had been killed, and he had accumulated enough merit points to exchange for the Cloud Lattice Robe.
He looked up at the vortex on the land and was thankful that he had tried so hard to learn this battle technique. If it weren't for it, he wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
It was time to go back. He looked back and saw a group of Corpse Kings crawling towards him. He wasn't interested in fighting at all. All he wanted was to survive this battlefield and pass that person's test. As for the racial war, he didn't care.
As he thought about it, he approached the vortex and slowly merged into it. There was a teleportation device that led directly to the headquarters. Only humans could enter, and it was like a millstone to the Corpse Kings.
In the headquarters of the first base, Bai Zhen was furious. "What did you say?
The Cloud Lattice Robe is gone?
Where did it go? "
In front of him was a rather young woman. She was afraid. "It … it was exchanged for."
"Who?
The commander said that it was prepared for me. Who could have exchanged for it? "Bai Zhen roared.
The woman replied, "Yes, it was the second base's commander, Lord Xia Yan. He used his merit points to exchange for the Cloud Lattice Robe."
Bai Zhen gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He had fought for the Cloud Lattice Robe for so long, and he had even made a promise to Bai Chi, but in the end, he hadn't received it.
"It was just yesterday," the woman muttered. Her words completely enraged Bai Zhen, and he immediately went to find Commander Bai Chi.
Bai Chi was from the Frigid Immortal Sect and was the commander of the first base. Compared to Xia Yan, he was more quick-witted, but also more gloomy. "Xia Yan exchanged for the Cloud Lattice Robe?
Impossible, he doesn't have that many merit points. Those Lockbreakers must have used him up. Don't worry, I'll check. "
Bai Zhen respectfully waited across from him.
Not long after, Bai Chi put down the Cloud Lattice Stone and fell into deep thought.
Bai Zhen couldn't help but say, "Sir."
Bai Chi looked at him. "The Cloud Lattice Robe was exchanged for by Draconic Seven."
"Draconic Seven?
A member of the White Dragon Tribe? "Bai Zhen frowned.
Bai Chi explained, "Not only is he a member of the White Dragon Tribe, but he's also the sect master of the Humble Middle Realm. Yesterday, he was favored by Master Deng Guo and will become his future disciple. He helped Xia Yan repair the second base's sourcebox, the Origin Cone. Only then did Xia Yan ask for the Cloud Lattice Robe. This person's status is special, and if I hadn't asked him, even the Commander wouldn't have been able to get anything out of him."
Bai Zhen solemnly said, "Even if he repaired the Origin Cone and is still the sect master of the Humble Middle Realm, he shouldn't have enough merit points to exchange for the Cloud Lattice Robe. More than half of my merit points came from that year." Bai Chi raised a hand to stop Bai Zhen from continuing. He sternly said, "Don't mention what happened back then. It's taboo. Have you forgotten?"
Bai Zhen's expression changed slightly. "Yes, I know."
Bai Chi said, "Draconic Seven's merit points came from Qingchen, and he overspent them. This person's status is very special, and he's favored by the governor of the Humble Middle Realm."
Given Bai Chi's status, explaining all of this to Bai Zhen was already very patient.
Bai Zhen wasn't satisfied. "Sir, you promised me. I've been fighting on the battlefield all these years for this Cloud Lattice Robe."
Bai Chi sternly asked, "What's the biggest obstacle before you can complete that person's trial?"
Bai Zhen gritted his teeth. "I have to survive on this sloping continent for twenty years."
"How much longer?" Bai Chi asked.
Bai Zhen replied, "Eleven years."
Bai Chi sighed. "Surviving for nine years is pretty good. Even I can't guarantee that I can survive for nine years on this sloping continent. There are quite a few experts among those monsters."
The more he said this, the more Bai Zhen's heart ached. How was he supposed to survive eleven years?
He had been hiding like a mouse for the past nine years, afraid that he would attract the attention of the powerful Corpse Kings. At the same time, he had to accumulate merit points. He believed that no one had lived a more difficult life than him.
"Sir, can I contact Draconic Seven?
I want to talk to him, "Bai Zhen said in a low voice.
Bai Chi shook his head. "You know the relationship between the Frigid Immortal Sect and the White Dragon Clan. If possible, I'd definitely want to give you the Cloud Lattice Robe. However, Draconic Seven is favored by the governor of the Humble Middle Realm, and Xia Yan and Monster Long are both keeping an eye on him. It's impossible to get the Cloud Lattice Robe from him.
"Then I-" Bai Zhen was furious, but he didn't know what to say.
Bai Chi's eyes flashed. "How about this? I have an external item here. Although it's not as good as the Cloud Lattice Robe, it's not that far off." He then took out a beautiful red flower.
Bai Zhen was shocked when he saw the flower, and his entire body trembled. It was as if he could see the red flower filling the sky again. That scene was both beautiful and deadly, and it was in that dream-like scene that the clan that had dominated everything had disappeared.
