Just as he was about to end the call, Elder Chan said, "There's one more thing. Someone has something to say about the Fifth Pagoda's half-master."
Lu Yin's heart sank. It had only been half a month, but even Elder Chan had been alerted. "Who?"
"Xia Ji," Elder Chan replied.
Lu Yin's head hurt. If someone else had something to say, it would be pointless to cause a ruckus. However, Xia Ji was a half-step Ancestor.
"Senior, are you asking me to cancel the half-master's half-master's favor?"
Lu Yin asked.
Elder Chan smiled. "That was my original plan, but since you've contributed more than 10,000 sets of new universal armor, I'll take responsibility for you."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Senior will take responsibility for me?"
Elder Chan sighed. "Throughout history, who would selflessly contribute their own inheritance?
The establishment of the Fifth Pagoda is similar to the establishment of the Daosource Sect in ancient times, and it has contributed greatly to humanity. What's a half-master's favor?
It's not like I'm taking you as my master. "
Lu Yin had not expected such an unexpected gain. He had not planned on giving away the new universal armor, and even if the Cosmic Tree had called, Elder Chan would not have asked for it back. However, at that time, he had guessed the significance of keeping the armor for a few months.
When he thought about it, he felt a little upset. Forget it, if the Fifth Mainland had not betrayed him, then he would give the armor to the Hall of Honor after the matter with the Cosmic Tree was resolved.
"Thank you, senior," Lu Yin said with mixed feelings.
Elder Chan smiled. "Your appearance has changed history more and more. Let's pretend that the incident with Ye King never happened."
Lu Yin was calm, as he knew that he could not hide this from Elder Chan. "Thank you, senior."
"But there's one thing I need to remind you: Shamrock Enterprises cannot be changed. The largest supplier of medicine to the Starfall Sea is Shamrock Enterprises. Those medicines cannot be cut off," Elder Chan cautioned.
Lu Yin replied, "I understand. Aside from Ye King, the rest of Shamrock Enterprises will not change. Don't worry, senior."
"That's good." Elder Chan then ended the call.
Lu Yin lowered his arm and looked up at the sky. Elder Chan's attitude had given him more confidence in the Fifth Mainland, and he hoped that they would not take the final step.
However, Xia Ji was a big problem. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, as he needed to find a chance to deal with him. Only a half-step Ancestor to deal with him.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lu Yin had offended many people along the way, and he was best at diverting trouble to others.
The current Xia Ji was just as powerless as the Daynight clan had been, but that didn't mean that there was no way to deal with him.
Outside the fifth pagoda, a figure stepped through the void and appeared. Many cultivators who were swimming towards the fifth pagoda raised their heads. There was actually someone who dared to violate the rules of the fifth pagoda?
Brute Force opened his eyes and stared over with a cold gleam.
That cultivator did not land on the foundation of the fifth pagoda. Instead, he stopped some distance away from the fifth pagoda and threw in a crystal card. Then, he turned around and left.
Not long after, the first name appeared on the Inheritance Board — De Yi. He was given the Inheritance Combat Skill — Thunder Sealing Hand.
This was the first name on the Inheritance Board. It wasn't that no one wanted to be the first to enter the Inheritance Board, but the battle skills sent to the fifth pagoda didn't meet the requirements.
It didn't mean that a battle skill or cultivation method that was sent into the fifth pagoda would be able to enter the Inheritance Board.
The evaluation of the Lightning-Sealing Hand Sutra given by this man named De Yi was no weaker than the Zhong Tian Technique contributed by the Tactician family. It was very famous in Cosmic Ocean, and even Highsage Leon had heard of it.
De Yi was also a famous loose cultivator in Universe Ocean. He was a great being who was infinitely close to becoming an Emissary.
Leaving one's name on the fifth pagoda's Inheritance Board was very attractive, but that wasn't the case.
Anyone would be willing to give away their inheritance, which required a lot of courage. Even if they were willing to give away their inheritance, it might not be enough to enter the Inheritance Board.
The Lightning-Sealing Hand Sutra was the first inheritance to enter the Inheritance Board.
Countless people remembered De Yi's name.
On the deck of Leon's Armada's warship, Highsage Leon looked at De Yi's disappearing figure in the distance. He had tried to recruit this person, but it was a pity that this person only wanted to protect the island where he had been born and was very stubborn. If this person had been willing to join Leon's Armada, then they would have had another Emissary in the future.
Within the fifth pagoda, some people had obtained inheritances, and some had passed the test. The Inheritance Board also had its first Inheritance Combat Skill. In the outside world, Elder Chan was helping Lu Yin withstand all of the pressure, and everything was progressing in a good direction. It was also at this moment that Wang Si appeared in the Skygenesis Court without anyone knowing.
A few months ago, Lu Yin had merged with Whitesage's body and killed a cultivator from the Cosmic Tree Domain. He had even killed Wang Yun, which had caused the agreement between the Skygenesis Court and the Cosmic Tree Domain to be broken once again and delayed for several months.
This time, Wang Si was part of the second batch of cultivators from the Cosmic Tree Domain to enter the Skygenesis Court. She had brought with her the determination of the Four Way Scales, vowing to kill Lu Xiaoxuan and obtain the Burial Garden's inheritance to shake the Abandoned Lands.
No matter what happened this time, the Four Way Scales would not delay any further. They had already been waiting for a long time.
News of Wang Si's appearance quickly reached Lu Yin.
Yi Ben City had informed him.
Lu Yin put down his gadget and took a deep breath. Wang Si's arrival meant that all of the Four Way Scales had arrived. They would exert pressure on the Fifth Mainland and force them to hand him over.
Lu Yin raised his head and looked at the sky. Would the Fifth Mainland hand him over?
He had worked hard for a long time for this day. He had taken the initiative to take over the war against the Astral Beast Domain, established the Fifth Pagoda, helped destroy the Neohuman Alliance, contributed the new universal armor, and so on. Everything had been for this day, but when the time came, he did not know what the Fifth Mainland would choose.
It was only at this moment that Lu Yin realized that he had not done enough. Would his contributions to the Fifth Mainland be enough to make them fight the Cosmic Tree Domain?
Would the Fifth Mainland be able to withstand the pressure from the Four Way Scales with just the Fifth Pagoda?
Not necessarily.
Humans had to rely on themselves in the end. In that case, he would make the first move.
"Plan, begin," Lu Yin said into his gadget.
…
In the Innerverse, in the Erudite Flowzone, the family in charge was the Wen family.
This was the only flowzone in the Innerverse that had not joined the Great Eastern Alliance, and it was able to withstand the pressure from the Great Eastern Alliance.
Wen Zizai received daily reports of cultivators from the Erudite Flowzone being bullied by cultivators from the Great Eastern Alliance. The entire Erudite Flowzone was cut off from the Innerverse, and neither trade nor resources could be sent out of the Erudite Flowzone. Cultivators from other parts of the Innerverse could not enter the Erudite Flowzone either.
Every cultivator from the Wen family felt uneasy, as if they were being watched by a pack of wolves. The Mavis Bank also wanted to settle their accounts with the Wen family, and they were not optimistic about the Wen family at all.
Wen Zizai swept the floor by himself, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Elder Han and Lu Jing stood on a distant mountain peak and sighed. "I wonder how much longer the Wen family can last."
Lu Jing was a guest of the Wen family with a primeval surname, which was one of the rare surnames in the Fifth Mainland. However, he had nothing to do with Lu Yin. "The Great Eastern Alliance is ambitious, and the Leon's Armada of the Cosmic Sea is one of their own. Their next target will definitely be the Neoverse.
The Wen family will definitely join the Neoverse. Otherwise, the consequences that await them will be unimaginable. "
Elder Han frowned. "The Daynight clan offended Lu Yin, and they're on the verge of extinction. The ancient powerhouse, the Second Nightking, is protecting Lu Yin, which is equivalent to enslaving him. The Divine Gu Dynasty's Young Empress Qing schemed against Lu Yin, and she was first brought to the Interstellar Tribunal for trial before being sent to the Starfall Sea. She will never be able to control the Divine Gu Dynasty for the rest of her life.
"The family head has his own considerations. Perhaps he wants more bargaining chips."
"Multiple Literary Prison?"
"That depends on whether Lu Yin is willing or not."
Elder Han's gaze shifted, and he accidentally saw a strange scene. "That person is Wen Zhaocheng, right?"
Lu Jing followed Elder Han's gaze and saw Wen Zhaocheng bowing to a youth in the shadows at the foot of a mountain. Elder Han and Lu Jing had seen this youth before, but he was just an ordinary disciple of the Wen family.
The two looked at each other and saw the shock and vigilance in each other's eyes. Something was wrong.
In the distance, less than an hour later, Wen Zhaocheng turned to leave, and the youth was about to leave as well. Suddenly, Elder Han reached out and grabbed the youth. The youth was shocked, and when he saw that it was Elder Han, his pupils shrank. "Elder?"
Elder Han stared at the youth. "Who are you?
Why can you order Wen Zhaocheng around? "
The youth looked at Elder Han with a confused expression. "This disciple does not know what Elder means."
Elder Han frowned. "Still trying to play dumb." Then, he seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes went wide. "You're one of Lu Yin's people, right?"
The youth's eyes shifted, and he raised his head. "That's right, this disciple is one of Alliance Head Lu's people. Elder Han, the Wen family is determined to not submit to the Great Eastern Alliance, and Wen Zhaocheng has tactfully agreed. There's no need for you to be so stubborn. Otherwise, Alliance Head Lu will not let you off."
Elder Han's face sank. If this youth was one of Lu Yin's people, then it was unlikely that he would address Lu Yin as Alliance Head Lu. This was an attitude, and this person had subconsciously addressed Lu Yin as Alliance Head twice. Something was off.
In the distance, Lu Jing arrived. "Wen Zhaocheng is being controlled, and his expression is sluggish. It's obvious that he's been poisoned. There's something wrong with this kid."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly made a move and pointed at Old Han. "Immortal Guides the Way."
Elder Han casually waved his hand, and the youth's arm was torn apart. The youth's body crashed into the mountain wall and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Elder Han with a miserable expression and gritted his teeth. "You dare hurt me?
Alliance Head Lu will not let you off, and your Wen family will be buried with me. "Then, the youth's eyes dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground.
Lu Jing hurried over. "Not good!" He grabbed the youth's neck, only to discover that the youth was already dead.
"What a strong poison. This kid was an Explorer, but he couldn't even last a second."
Elder Han walked over. "I never thought that Lu Yin had already planted someone in my Wen family."
"Do you really believe that Lu Yin did it?" Lu Jing asked.
Elder Han frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Let's report this to the family head first."
One day later, Wen Zizai, Elder Han, and Lu Jing faced Wen Zhaocheng.
Wen Zhaocheng was at a loss. "Family Head, why am I here?"
"Do you remember what happened yesterday?"
Wen Zizai asked as he looked deeply at Wen Zhaocheng.
Wen Zhaocheng shook his head, but then he frowned. "Yesterday?
I had a dream, and in my dream, I kept repeating three words. "
"Which three words?" Elder Han asked.
Wen Zhaocheng thought for a moment. "The Frigid Immortal Sect."
