The Stone Region was truly a region of independent cultivators. There were very few powerful forces, and even if they did, they would be destroyed by other independent cultivators. This was a very strange phenomenon.
It wasn't that the great powers of the other domains hadn't thought of conquering the Stone Domain, and the Secret Ancestor didn't care either. However, the Stone Domain had many experts, and there were two Celestial Imprints. They were the Three-Inch Grandmaster and the Medicine Immortal. The Medicine Immortal was ranked fourth, and his strength was unfathomable.
It was also because of this that no one in the Stone Region could manage them. Everyone was a loose cultivator.
In this war with the Astral Beast Domain, there weren't many people from the Stone Domain participating in it. After all, there weren't any powerful forces ruling over them, so there wasn't much chance of rebellion.
The cultivators from the Stone Realm who had been selected by Lu Yin only had a power level of around 500,000, and they all died at the hands of the beasts.
Beep beep beep
His gadget beeped, and Lu Yin glanced over. He raised a brow; it was Xu Qing.
The call connected. "Commander Xu Qing, why are you contacting me?" Lu Yin teased.
Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "Alliance Master Lu, didn't you say that the Sixth Mainland is about to undergo a great change?
Where was the great change?
What I see are countless cultivators from the Sixth Mainland. If this continues, I won't be able to hold on for much longer. "
Lu Yin laughed. "Commander, why do you insist on continuing the war?"
Xu Qing said sternly, "Even if I wanted to stop, the Sixth Mainland has no intention of stopping. The ones participating in this battle are all from the Secret Progenitor Realm, and they were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder to fight to the death with us. The Sixth Mainland is using us to eliminate internal threats."
"Don't worry, Commander. It won't be long before the big changes come." "Alright." Lu Yin rubbed his head.
"I hope that's the case, Alliance Master Lu. If I can't hold on and retreat, then I won't be able to invade the Outerverse, but I can still defend Ironblood Weave. At worst, I'll just have to retreat back to the Primal Zone. But you're different, as the Sixth Mainland's next target is you. The Secret Progenitor Territory has an endless supply of cannon fodder, and the Sixth Mainland should be very willing to use your Great Eastern Alliance to help them clean up."
Lu Yin felt helpless, as it seemed that they would not be able to wear each other out for much longer. Void Green's words were definitely exaggerated, but even if Lu Yin forced it to endure, it would not be able to last for much longer.
"There's an expert here," the Second Nightking warned.
Lu Yin looked up into the heavens; anyone who could be called an expert by the Second Nightking would have a power level of at least a million.
In outer space, a figure walked out and looked towards the savage planet, towards Lu Yin and the Second Nightking.
The person who had arrived was a middle-aged man. He had a calm expression on his face and did not appear to be anything special. However, the number of rune lines that this person had was incomparably terrifying, comparable to that of Emperor Liu.
The Second Nightking took a step forward and stared at the man with a frown. Logically speaking, with his strength, he should not be afraid of this person, but for some reason, this person gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Lu Yin looked at the middle-aged man, especially his eyes, and his expression changed slightly. "Ancestor Lingtong."
The middle-aged man was none other than Ancestor Lingtong. He had seen the true face of the Savage Archer God with his pair of eyes and plotted to kill the Corpse God, one of the Seven Heavenly Gods. Back when he was still a World Imprinter, he was able to join forces with Ancestor Wuye to deal with the Corpse King. He was a ruthless person.
Lu Yin had contacted Xu San before and knew about the situation of Ancestor Lingtong's tribulation. This person had started planning from the moment he saw Xu San, all for the sake of successfully passing the tribulation. Xu San had almost been killed by the origin tribulation, so this person was far from being as peaceful and harmless as he seemed.
"Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin. Alliance Head Lu," Ancestor Lingtong said as her body descended onto a savage planet. Her dual-pupils looked at Lu Yin with interest.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "I've heard of Ancestor Lingtong's fame since a long time ago. You even managed to find one of the Seven Skygods after stepping into the Cosmic Imprint. I'm impressed."
。
Ancestor Lingtong smiled and then looked at the Second Nightking. "Senior Second Nightking, you're a character from ancient times."
The Second Nightking did not speak, as this person was very dangerous.
"The Arrow Sect's little giant kept moving towards this place, even though he knew that there was danger ahead. I found it strange at the time, but it turns out that Alliance Head Lu was waiting for them. Is Alliance Head Lu planning to help the Astral Beast Domain deal with the Sixth Mainland?" Ancestor Lingtong asked as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin shrugged. "Of course not. I can't do something like helping those beasts deal with humans. I'm just taking the Arrow Sect away."
Ancestor Lingtong's brows rose. "The Arrow Sect holds a lot of weight in this battlefield. Taking them away will be disadvantageous to us."
Lu Yin did not mind. "You have too many cannon fodder, and you don't care about a single Arrow Sect. If worse comes to worst, why don't I help you destroy an Emissary beast?
So that I can relieve some of your pressure? "
Ancestor Lingtong stared at Lu Yin. "Why does Alliance Head Lu want to take the Arrow Sect away?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed with killing intent. "Back then, the Arrow Sect forcefully captured a disciple named Shaozisong from the Great Eastern Alliance's Taimo Temple. That disciple knew many of the Great Eastern Alliance's secrets, and he even knew about the Taimo Temple's inheritance. The Taimo Temple entrusted Brute Force with taking him away, along with the Arrow Sect's little giants."
Ancestor Lingtong had not expected such a thing to happen. "Really?"
"Senior, you can investigate," Lu Yin said. Brute Force had indeed taken Shaozisong away from the Taimo Temple, but Shaozisong had died during a purge of the Secret Progenitor Realm. The dead told no tales, so whatever Lu Yin said was the truth. In any case, it was a fact that Shaozisong had been taken to the Arrow Sect.
Ancestor Lingtong's eyes flickered, but she did not linger on this topic. "Even if Alliance Head Lu wants to denounce us, it shouldn't be now. The Sixth Mainland is at war with the Astral Beast Domain, and if we take the Arrow Sect away, how will the rest of the people participate?"
Lu Yin coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with me. If the Sixth Mainland isn't at war with the Astral Beast Domain, how would I take the Arrow Sect away?
How would I do that, Brute Force? "
This was an unsolvable question. If the war had not started, how could the Sixth Mainland have allowed Lu Yin to take the Arrow Sect away?
Ancestor Lingtong's eyes flickered. If Lu Yin had been alone, she would have attacked long ago, but the Second Nightking's existence made her apprehensive.
At that moment, Brute Force descended from outer space and crashed onto the ground. Just as she was about to speak to Lu Yin, she suddenly saw Ancestor Lingtong, and her expression changed.
Ancestor Lingtong frowned when she saw Brute Force. "Brute Force, have you ever captured a disciple from the Taimo Temple?"
Brute Force was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin remained expressionless.
"Brute Force, I'm asking you a question." Ancestor Lingtong's tone was low, and her dual pupils gave off an indescribable pressure that made Brute Force fearful. "Yes, I have."
"Name." Ancestor Lingtong continued.
Brute Force glanced at Lu Yin again and replied, "Shaozisong."
Ancestor Lingtong frowned, as this was true. Lu Yin could not have known about her arrival in advance, and it was also impossible for him to have colluded with her beforehand. It seemed like it was true. Although it was against the rules for Lu Yin to take the Arrow Sect away from the battlefield, he had a reason to do so. Furthermore, if the war had not started, he would not have been able to take the Arrow Sect away. Everything made sense.
The only thing that did not make sense was that it was not worth it to come to this battlefield for the sake of the Taimo Temple's inheritance.
Brute Force saw Ancestor Lingtong frown and relaxed. He knew that he had not said anything wrong and retreated to Lu Yin's side.
"Alliance Leader Lu.
What you're worried about is that disciple of the Hall of Tai Mo leaking the secrets of the Great Eastern Alliance and the inheritance of the Hall of Tai Mo. I can guarantee you that no one from the Arrow Sect will be able to leave this battlefield alive. What do you think about keeping them here? "
His tone was very calm, but the words he said were incomparably ruthless.
Brute Force's eyes went wide. "Ancestor Lingtong, what did you say?"
Ancestor Lingtong did not care about Brute Force at all. He was not even a World Imprinter and had lost his imprint, so he was no threat at all.
Lu Yin looked deeply at Ancestor Lingtong. "I must take them away."
Ancestor Lingtong replied, "Wouldn't it be better to let them use their remaining strength and perish together with those beasts?"
Brute Force was furious, and he glared at Ancestor Lingtong.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "I said that I must take them away."
Ancestor Lingtong's polycoria rotated, and for a moment, the atmosphere became tense. The Second Nightking's feet moved without any wind, and his spiritual force extended outwards. Lu Yin's pupils turned into runes as he stared at Ancestor Lingtong.
Ancestor Lingtong looked deeply at Lu Yin and then laughed. "Since Alliance Leader Lu insists on taking those giants away, then do as you wish. I'll give Alliance Leader Lu face."
Lu Yin replied, "Thank you."
Ancestor Lingtong smiled. "You're welcome. If I can discover it, then others can as well. Perhaps that old fogey Eyeless has already discovered it. Alliance Leader Lu, be careful."
Lu Yin nodded. "Got it."
Ancestor Lingtong turned to leave, but before she left, she said, "I'm very satisfied with Xu San as my disciple." She then looked back at Lu Yin and smiled faintly. "Alliance Master Lu, we're fated to meet."
Lu Yin frowned slightly, as it seemed that Ancestor Lingtong was aware of Xu San's situation. Xu San thought that he was smart, but how could he not have been discovered by Ancestor Lingtong?
What did he mean by that last sentence?
Man Li's eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness. Ancestor Lingtong's attitude actually represented the attitude of the Sixth Mainland. No one cared about the Arrow Sect and the little giant. Dying on the battlefield was their final destination, and no one cared.
"Brute Force, let's go. We can't wait any longer," Lu Yin said.
Brute Force knelt down on one knee again. "Alliance Leader, thank you. Thank you for taking us in. Thank you."
Lu Yin looked at him. "How many giants are left on the battlefield?"
Brute Force's body trembled. There were about four million giants gathered here, and with a million dead, there were at least four to five million left. "There aren't many left, Alliance Leader. Let's go." These words were equivalent to giving up on the giants, and Brute Force's voice was filled with bitterness.
Lu Yin sighed. He knew that there were still many giants left on the battlefield, but they really couldn't wait any longer. If Ancestor Lingtong could discover them, then the other experts could as well. Even if they didn't attack them, they could still stop the giants. There was no point in waiting.
"Let's go," Lu Yin said, and then put Brute Force back into Mount Supreme. Under the Second Nightking's protection, they headed east.
Not long after they left, dozens of giants in a spacecraft stumbled onto the savage planet. They rushed over excitedly, thinking that they could finally see hope for survival. However, all they saw was a boundless desert and those lizards burrowing into the ground. They couldn't see Brute Force, but they did see anyone.
Such was fate. One step earlier and one step later were two completely different things.
In outer space, Ancestor Eyeless also arrived and looked at the savage planet. Strange, those giants were all gathered here, but where were the people?
