Kui Luo was shocked by Lu Yin's words. "He's probably an adopted grandson. He caused such a ruckus over an adopted child. His temperament has changed so much."
Temperament?
Lu Yin thought back to the first time he had met the elder from Driftcharge Planet. That elder had used a hidden technique on Lu Yin and forced him to memorize the Stonewall Scriptures. He had even threatened Lu Yin that he ate white meat. That old man's temperament had not been good, but that did fit Kui Luo's temperament.
"It's no wonder why the Astral Tree Society's encirclement has been useless. Two Half-Progenitors … who can resist them?" Lu Yin muttered to himself. Suddenly, he remembered something and stared at Kui Luo. "Give me Ye."
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. "You threw it away."
"I'm thinking of a way to bring enemies to the Genesis Court so that I can cause trouble for the experts from the Astral Tree Society."
"It's useless."
"That's because you took Ye 'zi away."
"Don't worry. Anyone who wants to break through to the Progenitor realm won't give up hope."
"At the very least, the Genesis Court must have an item of origin. Do you think those Half-Progenitors are idiots?"
"They're not that smart. You stirred up trouble in the Astral Tree Society, but in the end, you were seen through by a girl who met you. Even the White Dragon Ancestor didn't notice your weakness. Don't think that others are so smart."
"They're not stupid. Give it back."
"You threw it away."
"You lack an item of origin?"
"Nonsense. I want to break through to the Progenitor realm too."
"You don't have one?"
"Who else has one besides the Four Way Scales?"
…
Not long after, the group left the Technocracy.
Kui Luo was startled. "There's an expert here. He's not weak."
Jie Shan's chief grew serious. "It should be the Sixth Mainland's Celestial Imprint."
Lu Yin had already expected this. The valley master's swordsmen must have contacted the Sixth Mainland, and it seemed like both sides were discussing this. The Sixth Mainland did not want to let him return so easily, so they probably wanted to hide the fact that they had requested help from a city.
"Kid, should we make a move?" Kui Luo asked. He was rather curious about the Sixth Mainland's imprint.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Try not to alert them. The Sixth Mainland has Progenitors."
Kui Luo's heart sank at the mention of Progenitor realm. "Let's go."
With Kui Luo leading the way, even the All-heaven Imprint wouldn't be able to discover them. Moreover, the World Mountain's first seat was also a super expert who could rival the All-heaven Imprint.
It wasn't long before Lu Yin's group left the Endless Weave and arrived at the Southern Weave.
The Celestial Imprints had gone to the Endless Territories to block them, so the Southern Territories were no longer in danger.
Kui Luo was about to leave after confirming that there wasn't much danger.
"Leave?
Where are you going? "Lu Yin asked." Aren't you going to the Innerverse with me? "
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. "What's the point of following you around? Hehe, I've grown tired of staying in the Starry Sky of the Trees, and I've never been to the Abandoned Lands before. Of course I'd like to walk around and see the local customs."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. Local customs?
He was aware of Kui Luo's reputation in the Starry Sky of Trees. That old man was hated by almost everyone. He was a wicked man with a foul mouth and was good at making up stories. Given his strength, ordinary people would look down on him. If he wanted to dig up something, it would be something earth-shattering.
This was interesting. There were still many secrets that Lu Yin wanted to know about the Fifth Mainland.
However, this old man wouldn't dig up his own secrets, would he? "Ahem, that … Don't be rash. This is a civilized society.
Take it easy, we can't take it. Why don't you just stay in the Outerverse? "
At this moment, Jie Shan's chief raised his gadget and looked at Kui Luo. "Elder Chan would like to speak with you."
Kui Luo and Lu Yin looked over. "Elder Chan?
That name sounds annoying. Who is it?
The boss of the Abandoned Lands? "
Jie Shan's chief frowned. Was this how a Half-Ancestor behaved?
Lu Yin whispered, "Elder Chan is the master of our Fifth Mainland's Hall of Honor. He's infinitely close to becoming a Progenitor, and he should be around the same level as the Myriad Dao Ancestor."
Kui Luo was shocked. "There's such a powerful person?"
Lu Yin didn't know how strong Elder Chan was, but he knew that there was nothing wrong with scaring Kui Luo.
"Elder Chan once spoke with the Sixth Mainland's Three Ancestors on equal terms," Lu Yin added.
Kui Luo grew serious, as the Myriad Dao Ancestor could speak with Progenitors on equal terms. This was because all Progenitors were certain that he would become a Progenitor. That was an unparalleled confidence, and Elder Chan had actually achieved it.
Kui Luo still spoke with Elder Chan, and Lu Yin overheard their conversation. Elder Chan hoped that Kui Luo wouldn't act rashly on the Fifth Mainland and that he wouldn't reveal the matter of the Cosmic Tree Domain.
When Liu Yefei had first arrived, a sourcebox array had been planted in her body, and it could determine her life or death. Kui Luo was a Half-Ancestor, and no one else had the ability to do so. He could only hope that Elder Chan would try his best not to act rashly.
Kui Luo's attitude was still quite good, and his tone was still quite displeased. However, he didn't tear off all pretense of cordiality.
Lu Yin was thinking about his upcoming conversation with Elder Chan. Jie Shan's chief had already told Elder Chan everything, and Elder Chan would definitely want to speak with Lu Yin.
His conversation with Elder Chan would directly determine the survival of the Great Eastern Alliance.
If Elder Chan hated Lu Yin's identity, then the Great Eastern Alliance would immediately vanish. After all, the Fifth Mainland's Hall of Honor was the true ruler, and many of Lu Yin's accomplishments had been established with the Hall of Honor.
Without the Hall of Honor, no one would fear Lu Yin, and many people would be able to act without restraint.
Not long after, Kui Luo tossed his gadget to Jie Shan's chief. "I don't even know what that old bastard is talking about. What a mess." He then left under Jie Shan's furious gaze.
Kui Luo had also taken away the Origin Artifact, and Lu Yin would not be able to obtain it. That old bastard had refused to give it to him, and Lu Yin had no other choice. A dignified Half-Ancestor was acting shamelessly, and only a Progenitor could suppress him.
Kui Luo's behavior was rather rude to Elder Chan, but he was on the same level as Elder Chan, so Jie Shan's chief could not say anything. He looked at Lu Yin, only to find that Lu Yin had activated his gadget. "Elder Chan, Junior Lu Yin apologizes to you."
Jie Shan's chief was speechless; this brat had acted quickly.
Elder Chan had not expected Lu Yin to act so quickly. He had just ended his conversation with Kui Luo when Lu Yin had contacted him in less than two seconds.
"Should I call you Lu Yin or Lu Xiaoxuan?" Elder Chan asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin was bitter. "Before I lost my memories, I was Lu Xiaoxuan. Now, I'm Lu Yin."
Elder Chan remained silent.
Lu Yin said, "I'm sorry, senior. The Fifth Mainland has given me too much support, but I've disappointed you."
Elder Chan replied, "You'll be disappointed if you don't break through to the Progenitor realm."
"I'm from the Astral Trees, and I have a true primeval surname," Lu Yin said bitterly.
Elder Chan asked, "Are the primeval surnames in this region fake?"
Lu Yin did not understand.
"Actually, there are many primeval surnames, and many of the primeval surnames in this region share the same ancestry as you. Although we detest them, we do not hate them.
The primeval surnames abandoned the Fifth Mainland, causing this region to lose its luster. This was your choice. Did you see the Hall of Honor hunting down the primeval surnames? "Elder Chan countered.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "This junior understands."
"Lu Xiaoxuan's identity will bring about war," Jie Shan's chief spoke up, his voice not soft.
Lu Yin's finger twitched, as this was what he was most worried about.
Elder Chan was silent for a moment. "Lu Yin."
"Yes, senior," Lu Yin hurriedly replied.
Elder Chan continued, "Humans cannot afford internal strife. No matter who is right or wrong in this region of the universe, we cannot let the Eternals benefit. Do you understand?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "I understand. Don't worry, senior. I'll think of a way to resolve this."
Elder Chan ended the call. Neither of them had said anything, but they both knew that Lu Yin would not resign himself to his fate, and Elder Chan would not allow the Fifth Mainland to launch a counterattack against the Astral Trees. It all depended on what Lu Yin would do.
The moment Lu Xiaoxuan's identity was exposed, he had already guessed that this would be the outcome. Elder Chan was the master of the Hall of Honor, and he knew of the Eternals' existence. His choice had not been wrong. Lu Yin only knew one thing: if he wanted to lead his people against the Four Way Scales, there would be an additional obstacle.
However, this obstacle would come sooner or later. Even if he did not expose himself now, Elder Chan would still find out when the Astral Trees sent reinforcements. It was just a matter of time.
There was one thing that Lu Yin had not expected: Elder Chan had let him off so easily. He had not pursued the matter of the Great Eastern Alliance, and he had no intention of chasing Lu Yin away from the Fifth Mainland. Elder Chan and the other Half-Ancestors had supported Lu Yin because he had broken through three stages and was one of the Fifth Mainland's hopes of becoming a Progenitor. His status was almost equal to that of the other Half-Ancestors. Now that Lu Yin had become a Progenitor, he represented the Lu family of the Astral Trees.
Lu Yin had not expected that Elder Chan would actually not mind.
Neoverse, Jie Shan. Elder Chan put down his gadget and stepped out to the Adjudicator Realm. It was not that he did not mind, but rather that he valued Lu Yin not only because of Lu Yin's hopes of becoming a Progenitor, but also because he had to consider someone else.
There were many geniuses in the universe. Back when Upper Sage Wudi had brought Lu Yin to wreak havoc at Jie Shan, Lu Yin had not been able to compare to the Prime Clear Lineage. At least, in the eyes of those from the Hall of Honor, Lu Yin was no match for the Prime Clear Lineage. At the time, Elder Chan had openly supported Lu Yin, which was why Lu Yin had such a background in the Hall of Honor.
Elder Chan was not worried about Everlasting Island, nor was he worried about the Great Eastern Alliance, which was a loose alliance that could be easily destroyed. Instead, he was worried about the person behind Lu Yin, who was also the person behind the Adjudicator.
Within the Adjudicator Realm, a voice came from the darkness. "Lu Xiaoxuan?"
Elder Chan clasped his hands behind his back. "That's right, Lu Xiaoxuan. That region of space has undergone a great change, and the Lu family was destroyed by the Four Cardinal Scales, which included the Frigid Immortal Sect. Lu Xiaoxuan survived and changed his name to Lu Yin. Do you know about this?"
"Junior Brother."
Elder Chan looked into the darkness, almost as if he could see through it and see the Adjudicator himself. "Your master already knew about this?"
"I'm not sure, but he's my junior brother. It has nothing to do with his status."
Elder Chan sighed. "I thought that he was an absolute genius, but who would have thought that he would actually come from a top family? And a top family at that, the Lu family. Do you know that because of him, the Fifth Mainland might be attacked by the Four Cardinal Scales? He wants to lead the Fifth Mainland in a counterattack against the Four Cardinal Scales. Does your master know about all of this?"
"I'm not sure. I only know that he's my junior brother."
"If he causes the Fifth Mainland to be plunged into misery and suffering, or if the Eternals benefit from it, then I will become a sinner for all eternity," Elder Chan said.
The darkness surged, gradually revealing the Scales. This was the Adjudicator's innate gift.
