When he heard Lu Yin's words, the Sword Valley Master anxiously replied, "Alliance Master Lu, the entire Outerverse belongs to the Sixth Mainland. What you're doing right now isn't appropriate."
Lu Yin left without looking back, as he did not care about Sword Valley Master at all.
Not to mention one Sword Valley Master, even if four Venerables gathered together, he wouldn't care.
The Sixth Mainland had been invaded by the Eternals, and after arriving in the Outerverse, it had been attacked by the Neohuman Alliance. It had also been betrayed by the Secret Progenitor, who had purged the Secret Progenitor Realm. The Sixth Mainland was currently very weak, and Lu Yin wanted to take the initiative.
From the moment that Lu Yin had turned around, it meant that unless a Progenitor from the Sixth Mainland descended, no one would be able to influence his decisions. The Great Eastern Alliance's fleet currently possessed the power to directly face off against the Astral Beast Domain. Even though they had been at a disadvantage during the past few months of war, with the deaths of the Sword King and the other top-tier experts, it was no longer possible for the Astral Beast Domain to break through the Great Eastern Alliance's defenses. A tripartite balance of power had already been formed, but the Sword Valley Master and the others still had not seen this clearly and naively wanted to take over the eastern weaves.
They didn't understand Lu Yin, but now, they understood him better than anyone else.
The Sword Valley Master was sullen. As a Cosmic Imprinter, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? As he looked at the numerous experts of the Great Eastern Alliance blocking his path, he was actually helpless.
The Three-Inch Master watched helplessly as Lu Yin left. So what if he had the Celestial Imprint? He still had no right to speak on this battlefield.
The Sword Valley Master could only contact the Hall of Honor. Even though he could not directly contact Elder Chan, he could still contact the Board of Governors.
Lu Yin naturally received the news that Sword Valley Master had contacted the Board of Governors, but he didn't mind.
Those who were familiar with the Hall of Honor knew that the Board of Directors had a lot of power and could even influence the Great Eastern Alliance's battles. However, the Sword Valley Master had never thought that the Board of Directors would be able to influence the Great Eastern Alliance. Lu Yin himself was a member of the Board of Directors, and through Qing Tan, the Sword Valley Master had a deep understanding of the extent of Lu Yin's control over the Board of Directors.
The Great Eastern Alliance had accepted this war, and the Board of Governors had been against it from the very beginning. However, it had been useless. He had only wanted to contact Elder Chan through the Board of Governors.
In the end, although he managed to get Elder Chan's contact information, he could not get through no matter how hard he tried. The only news he got was that Elder Chan was in seclusion.
Sword Valley Master was furious. Seclusion?
At this time?
How could it be? It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to him. Helpless, he could only contact one of the Four Supremes, the Medicine Immortal, and ask him to contact Elder Chan.
The Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect's Four Sovereigns were practically all Celestial Imprints, but there was one person whose strength was unfathomable, and that person was the Medicine Immortal.
Logically speaking, the Medicine Immortal should also be a Heavenly Imprint. However, based on what he knew, Half Martial Ancestor Nine-Three could order Mister Guansheng, Old Man Cangqiong, and the others around, but he didn't show the slightest disrespect to the Medicine Immortal. The Medicine Immortal was very likely to be a Half Martial Ancestor. Although his strength was unknown, in terms of seniority, the Medicine Immortal was the leader of the four Venerables.
Most of the time, the Medicine Immortal didn't participate in the decision-making process, but things were different now. The Secret Ancestor had betrayed the human race, and the Medicine Immortal belonged to the Stone Realm. He was also a member of the Secret Ancestor Region. Just like the Three-Inch Grandmaster and the Sword Valley Master, the Medicine Immortal also had to do something for the Sixth Mainland. However, the Medicine Immortal shouldn't be considered one of the four Venerables anymore.
Half a day later, Medicine Immortal contacted Sword Valley Master and gave him a one-word reply — wait.
"Wait?" Valley Master Sword was puzzled.
"Elder Chan said that he will contact Lu Yin and have the Great Eastern Alliance withdraw from the Outerverse. He asked you to wait."
Sword
Valley Master Sword Valley Master raised his brows. Did this Medicine Immortal really not know?
Waiting meant that there would be no results. When the Hall of Honor had contacted them and asked them to immediately send people to Northcastle Weave to fight against the Astral Beast Domain, their response had been to wait. Now, it was their turn to wait.
Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master wanted to say something to the Medicine Immortal, but at that moment, his gadget rang. He glanced at it and was shocked; it was actually Half-Progenitor Lan Xian?
Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master hurriedly answered the call and respectfully said, "Half-Progenitor Lan Xian, what are your orders?"
"Don't take part in the war against the Astral Beast Domain," Lan Xian said. Her voice was much colder, and it didn't have the same numbness that Lu Yin and the others had felt when she had first appeared on the battlefield.
Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master was astonished; even Lan Xian was helping Lu Yin?
Could it be that this kid was telling the truth?
Was the Blood Ancestor intending to take him in as a disciple?
Right, Lan Xian was also present when this kid was undergoing his tribulation. She should have seen the Blood Ancestor and even had a conversation with him, so she should know how important Lu Yin was to the Blood Ancestor. Otherwise, why would a Half-Progenitor speak up for Lu Yin?
Since a Half-Progenitor had spoken up, Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master had no choice but to give up. Although the eastern weaves were important, it wasn't worth offending Half-Progenitor Lan Xian over.
Although Lan Xian wasn't the strongest Half-Progenitor, she was the most gifted.
Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master would never have guessed that Lan Xian had asked him not to take part in the war against the Astral Beast Domain because she wanted to suppress Lu Yin and cause the Great Eastern Alliance to suffer losses, not because she wanted to help him. In Lan Xian's mind, Lu Yin had used the information about Progenitor Wushang's hide in exchange for the Sixth Mainland taking over the war against the Astral Beast Domain.
The Great Eastern Alliance's threat to Lu Yin's survival was the most effective, but Lu Yin had reversed the situation. Furthermore, when he had used the information about Progenitor Wushang's hide to lure the Sixth Mainland out, he hadn't actually wanted them to take over the war. Rather, it had just been a rationalization.
Within the Great Eastern Alliance's spacecraft, Lu Yin was astonished. "The Sixth Mainland has completely retreated?"
Shui Chuanxiao nodded and cautiously replied, "That's strange. They retreated very decisively."
Lu Yin pondered this, as something was wrong. This involved the ownership of the eastern weaves, so how could the Sixth Mainland retreat so easily?
If it was that easy, then why would Sword Valley Master Sword Valley Master contact the Board of Directors?
Wasn't this an unnecessary move?
Was there some sort of conspiracy?
Lu Yin felt uneasy, so he contacted Xu Qing. "When are you guys attacking the central weaves?"
Xu Qing was stunned, as this was extremely strange. It was normal for wars to be urged, but this was the first time he had been urged by an enemy. "We're currently waiting for reinforcements."
"It'll be too late if you don't attack now. Let me tell you, the Sixth Mainland has already gathered several Cosmic Imprinters and even some Celestial Imprinters. They wanted to threaten me, but I blocked them. Their next opponent will be you, so be careful." Lu Yin ended the call.
On the other end, Shui Chuanxiao was speechless. The Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain had been at war for countless years, but this was the first time such a situation had occurred. From Lu Yin's expression, it seemed as if he wanted the Astral Beast Domain to attack the central weaves right now.
Back when the Sixth Mainland had threatened the Great Eastern Alliance to withdraw from the Outerverse, Lu Yin had used Ironblood Weave to open up a battlefield for the Sixth Mainland. Now, he was personally guarding the eastern weaves and opening up a path to Armament Weave. At the same time, he was also luring the Astral Beast Domain to the Sixth Mainland.
To the Astral Beast Domain, the Sixth Mainland was an enemy that they would definitely go to war with. As for the Great Eastern Alliance, if they could win, they would definitely go to war. If they couldn't win, then there was no need to go to war, as they could still use the Great Eastern Alliance to contain the Sixth Mainland.
The Sixth Mainland's control over the eastern weaves was also in play.
This was a three-way check and balance.
In the end, Lu Yin had specifically opened up a battlefield for the Sixth Mainland, and the result was the same as before.
The situation was moving in Lu Yin's favor, and the result was exactly what he wanted. However, he had not expected the process to go so smoothly, to the point that it made him panic. This was why he had continuously urged the Astral Beast Domain.
Finally, after ten days, the Astral Beast Domain finished gathering and headed towards Flaxen Weave. They were going to attack a weave in the Outerverse.
Xu Qing's reputation in the Celestial Beast Empire was getting worse and worse. He had not hesitated to conceal his deal with Lu Yin and request reinforcements from the empire, all for the sake of entering the central weaves. As long as they could attack the central weaves, regardless of whether they could occupy it or not, they would be able to leave their name in history.
Every step they took was another step forward in history.
Following the Astral Beast Domain's attack, the Great Eastern Alliance watched from the sidelines, and the Sixth Mainland was forced to passively participate in this war.
Valley Master Sword faced Xu Qing with an extremely ugly expression. He had originally thought that the Astral Beast Domain would attack the eastern weaves and start a war with the Great Eastern Alliance, but he had not expected that they would follow Flaxen Weave and attack Armament Weave. The Great Eastern Alliance's fleets that had been stationed in Flaxen Weave and Armament Weave had retreated without warning, and the Astral Beast Domain had not made things difficult for them.
Even an idiot would know that something was amiss.
Valley Master Sword was furious, and he slashed at Xu Qing. "Did the Astral Beast Domain and the Great Eastern Alliance reach an agreement?"
Xu Qing was not stupid, and there was no way he would admit to it. The moment he did, the empire would know, and he would not be able to achieve his goal. "What qualifications do you humans have to make an agreement with us?"
He then raised a claw and pressed down on Valley Master Sword.
Bang!
A giant crack spread through space.
Ancestor Eyeless and Old Nong both had their own opponents. The Astral Beast Domain had sent many experts as reinforcements, and they had reached the pinnacle of their battle against the Great Eastern Alliance. Xu Qing was not confident that he could defeat the Great Eastern Alliance in a short period of time, but the Sixth Mainland was different. Although the Sixth Mainland's experts definitely far surpassed the Great Eastern Alliance's, the Sixth Mainland was not a unified power. Instead, they were scattered.
When the corpse keeper had fled Ironblood Weave without caring about the situation, it had led to the collapse of Ironblood Weave and the deaths of all of the Sixth Mainland's experts. From this incident, one could see just how ruthless the Sixth Mainland was.
The Great Eastern Alliance was under Lu Yin's control, and even if Liu Qianjue and the others were not willing to fight to the death, the Great Eastern Alliance would still be able to hold on. However, the Sixth Mainland was different. Once they encountered any adversity, there would be many people like the corpse keeper. Unless the Sixth Mainland could completely crush the Astral Beast Domain, the situation would only become more favorable for the Astral Beast Domain.
Furthermore, Xu Qing no longer had any plans to invade the Outerverse. All he wanted was to make a name for himself in the annals of history. Even if he lost the territory that he had obtained in the end, it would not be able to conceal his glory.
Xu Qing had gone berserk this time, and he had thrown caution to the wind for the sake of his achievements. The war had not stopped even after half a month had passed, and many of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had begun to doubt their lives.
Within the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet, Elder Lohar was reading through the battle reports from the Astral Beast Domain and the Sixth Mainland. He sighed. "This is how Ironblood Weave should fight. When did Ironblood Weave ever stop for even a moment? The war never stops. This is what a battlefield should be like."
"Passive warfare is never the way to victory," Lu Yin's voice rang out.
When Elder Lohar saw Lu Yin appear, he hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin helped Elder Lohar up and smiled. "Senior took care of me back in Ironblood Weave, so there's no need to be so courteous."
