In the Central Plain Realm, at the meeting place, Wang Si and the other elites of the Four Directions Balance Scale appeared one after another, their expressions ugly.
"It's the same scene again! Every time the Origin Wheel Ritual ends to explore the Sovereign Realm, those stowaways will use the sourcebox array that Progenitor Hui gave them to escape. How hateful!" Wang Si was furious.
Ni Huang stared at the ground. Out of everyone present, she hated Lu Yin the most. Lu Yin had tricked the White Dragon Tribe and turned them into a laughingstock.
"Quickly rescue Shen Fei and the others. Ask them what happened in the Meditative Ruins," Xia Xing said.
Bai Teng said in a low voice, "Shaohong was killed by that bastard from the Lu Clan. Since he's been chosen as a general, I'll definitely get my revenge."
"Revenge? How?
He fled back to the abandoned land! "Wang Si said angrily.
Bai Teng continued, "Xian 'er is currently in seclusion. Once she comes out and learns that Lu Xiaoxuan is still alive and has killed Shaohong, she definitely won't let this matter rest. Everyone, would you rather keep your promise, or would you rather eliminate this scourge? Don't forget, if Lu Xiaoxuan has a child in the Abandoned Lands, it's not impossible for him to inherit the General Stage innate gift. With that kind of innate gift, even an idiot can become a peerless powerhouse."
"Once Lu Xiaoxuan takes root in the abandoned place, he'll become the master of the abandoned place."
Ni Huang looked up. "We can't let him go."
"Let's report this to the ancestor. Only the ancestor can decide this," said Xia Xing.
Wang Si said coldly. "Kui Luo can't be let off either. The remaining officials of the Lu Clan and some of the people in the Star Alliance can't be let off either."
Xia Xing frowned and glanced at Wang Si, but didn't say anything.
Off in the distance, the old man lay on the ground, exhausted. He had finally gotten rid of that crazy old woman, Wang Si, and had been fighting the entire time. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the brat was actually Lu Xiaoxuan. "I hope what you said is true. No, I have to go to the abandoned land. But how do I get there?"
He thought of Wang Yun. If this woman could go to the abandoned land, he could too.
In a corner of the Fifth Mainland's Glory World, Lu Yin, Willow Leaves, and Flying Flowers all fell down.
Lu Yin's various injuries were too severe, and he was unable to withstand the strength of the sourcebox array that had pulled him back, causing him to faint. The flying willow leaves, on the other hand, were fine.
The moment they appeared in the Glory Realm, they immediately felt that something was amiss. This void was too fragile.
In the Cosmic Tree Realm, only Envoys and above could tear through the void. On the Fifth Mainland, Hunters were able to do so, and that was only because of the Heavenly Shift. Before that, even Explorers could tear through the void and travel through it. Even if the space in the Glory Realm was stable, an attack with a power level of over 300,000 would still be able to tear through the void, which was a far cry from the Cosmic Tree Realm.
To the flying willow leaves, this part of the starry sky was too fragile.
This was their first impression of this starry sky. Immediately after, their attention was drawn to the five people around them.
"Where is this?"
Big Sister Feihua shouted sternly as she stared at an old man who seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life. The old man's eyes were half closed, and he looked like he was about to die.
"It's actually that little fellow?"
No one paid any attention to Feihua, and all five of them looked at Lu Yin.
"Looks like this brat went there ahead of time and even ran into the top ten. He must have been seriously injured and needs to be treated," another person said.
"There's no rush. Look, he's using a very strange cultivation technique, causing his body to wither. It looks familiar. Brother Xia, what do you think?"
"It's similar to the Ku family's cultivation technique."
When Feihua saw that no one was paying any attention to her, she was instantly enraged. Her temper was not good to begin with. "I'm asking you guys a question!" She was about to attack when the surrounding stars suddenly revolved and appeared one after another.
At the same time, a vast power descended, and Feihua was unable to withstand it and almost fell to her knees.
Mr. Liu Ye hurriedly supported her, his face deathly pale. "Half-Ancestor."
"Kid, there's no rush. Speak slowly," the old man who looked like he was about to die spoke up with a faint smile.
Feihua's face paled. Five! There were actually five Half-Ancestors! She suddenly remembered something about Lu Yin. "This is an abandoned land."
On a desolate plain, there were only a few pieces of withered grass that grew tenaciously, swaying as the wind blew past.
Some people said that they did not want to be fence-sitters and swayed with the wind, while others liked the tenacity of fence-sitters.
As the wind blew past, dust filled the sky and swept across the ground. There was a wooden house that was all alone in the wasteland, and it made a soft sound as if it could disintegrate at any moment.
Within the wooden house, a youth suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He looked around vigilantly, his eyes filled with confusion.
Where was this?
He was Lu Yin, who had returned to the Fifth Mainland from the Astral Tree Domain.
Because he had just woken up, he was unfamiliar with his surroundings, and he subconsciously released his domain to sense his surroundings.
At that moment, the door to the wooden house was pushed open, and an old man walked in and looked at Lu Yin kindly.
Lu Yin was delighted to see the old man. "Chan, Elder Chan."
"You're awake," Elder Chan smiled.
Lu Yin hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Junior Lu Yin greets Elder Chan."
Elder Chan sighed. "No need to be so polite. It's good that you're back. You've recovered quite quickly."
Lu Yin's injuries had mainly come from the fifth Tribulation Origin Tribulation expert who had been guarding the ladder, as well as the arrow that had ambushed him at the agreed location. However, those injuries had been caused by an Emissary, and the vitality released by the origin item at Shanghui Pass was enough to heal him. Furthermore, he also had the healing saint technique, which allowed him to recover from his injuries.
Lu Yin was excited, as he had finally returned. This was the Fifth Mainland, and he raised his hand to sense his surroundings. This was the Glory Realm.
Elder Chan looked at Lu Yin. "You've changed."
Lu Yin replied, "My cultivation has increased quite a bit."
Elder Chan nodded. "I didn't think that you'd be one step ahead of them. How are they?"
Lu Yin remembered and hurriedly took out Mount Supreme, releasing Shangqing and the others.
Elder Chan was shocked, but then he was delighted. The agreed location could only be used once, which meant that if Lu Yin returned alone, Shangqing and the others would either die or remain in that space forever. Since ancient times, there had been no lack of people who had remained in that space until they died of old age.
Elder Chan and the others had already given up, but Lu Yin had given them a pleasant surprise.
There were a total of eleven people in Mount Supreme. Aside from Long Xi, Wen Shengyi, Prince Gui Qian, Yun Tingting, and Liu Hao, the others had all been released by Lu Yin.
Shangqing, Liu Tianmu, Ming Guang, Yao Xuan, Yu Hua, and Luoshen had all been released.
When they saw Elder Chan, they understood that they had returned to the Fifth Mainland, but they didn't seem too happy. They had gone to the Astral Tree to find a way to obtain the origin item and pass the three trials, but they had only managed to escape. Although they had kept their lives, they hadn't accomplished anything.
Outside the wooden house, Heavenly Master Shangqing and the others heaved sighs of relief when they saw Shangqing and the others return safely.
The old man who looked like he could die at any moment asked, "Did Qiushi not return?"
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "She was trapped, and I was unable to do anything."
The old man was
Sirius' Elder Zonggong, one of the Fifth Mainland's seven half-ancestors.
Elder Gong shook his head, feeling that it was a pity, but he didn't say anything. He didn't need to know what had trapped Qiushi; even if he did, no one would be able to save her in the Astral Tree.
"Xia Luo didn't return either?" Xia Ji asked, staring at Lu Yin with a burning gaze.
Lu Yin helplessly replied, "I didn't see him."
Xia Ji was different from Elder Gong; he was more scheming and obviously didn't believe Lu Yin, but it was useless.
"Jiu Hao didn't return either."
Lu Yin replied, "I didn't see Jiu Hao or Zhiyi, only Wu Taibai." Elder Chan and the others looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced at Shangqing and the rest; he had to tell them about Wu Taibai's situation. Even if he didn't, they wouldn't be able to hide it. "Wu Taibai is from Shenwu Plane."
Elder Chan was shocked. "Shenwu Plane?
That's one of the top powers in the Astral Tree? "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "The Astral Tree has completely changed. Now, Shenwu Plane is one of the Four Scales." Lu Yin then slowly explained the current situation in the Astral Tree.
After a full hour, Elder Chan and the rest finally recovered from their shock.
"The Lu family has been exiled!" Elder Gong was shocked.
Xia Ji's voice was dry. "The Lu family is an invincible family, but they were exiled. Unbelievable."
"How did the Four Scales do it?
Even the white dragon can't turn things around that easily, "Heavenly Master Shangsheng said.
Elder Chan spoke up. "No matter what happens in the Astral Tree, Zhiyi and Wu Taibai haven't returned. We need to explain the situation to the Sixth Mainland's Three Ancestors."
This was a matter for Elder Chan and the rest, so Lu Yin wasn't worried. He had already told them everything he could. Of course, there were some things that he didn't mention, such as the fact that he was a member of the Lu family.
Even though his surname was Lu, Elder Chan and the rest definitely wouldn't connect him to the Lu family.
Lu Yin also didn't plan on revealing his identity. Since Wang Yun had been able to come to this region of space, the Sorcerer Spirit had also told him to reach a level where he would be hunted down by the Four Scales even if he escaped back to the Fifth Mainland. This meant that the Astral Tree had the ability to chase him all the way here.
Since that was the case, Lu Yin couldn't reveal himself. Who knew if Elder Chan and the rest would be able to withstand the pressure of the Four Scales and not hand him over? Although that didn't seem likely, it might not be the case if the pressure was too great. After all, the Outerverse had been gifted to the Sixth Mainland.
The outcome would change according to the situation, and Lu Yin didn't want to leave his fate in the hands of others.
What he needed to consider now was what Liu Yefei would say.
A few days passed, and Elder Chan and the rest questioned the Prime Clearings and the rest. They mainly wanted to confirm the current situation in the Astral Tree as well as what had happened in the Ruler Realm. They wouldn't completely trust Lu Yin's words.
The Prime Clearings and the rest were fine, but Yao Xuan revealed the existence of Long Xi and the others.
Xia Ji found Lu Yin and asked him to hand over Long Xi and the others so that he could interrogate them more about the Astral Tree, but Lu Yin refused.
"Kid, I didn't discuss this with you. Hand them over." Xia Ji's tone was gloomy. The Seven Courts weren't that gentle. In order to nurture a stronger successor for his family, he had deliberately allowed Xia Jiuyou to search for Xia Luo, allowing Xia Jiuyou to be replaced by Xia Luo. This was his way of doing things.
