Old Han and Lu Jing were at a loss. The Frigid Immortal Sect?
Never heard of it.
Wen Zizai's expression changed. The Frigid Immortal Sect had once been the overlord of the Daynight Flowzone, and it had also been one of the Fifth Mainland's behemoths during the era of the Daosource Sect. Although Wen Zizai did not know much about the Frigid Immortal Sect, the Wen family had many ancient texts, and he had read them before.
"Are you sure it's the Frozen Immortal Sect?"
Wen Zizai asked solemnly.
Wen Zhaocheng nodded. "I'm sure. I keep repeating those words in my head."
"Patriarch, which sect is the Frigid Immortal Sect?"
Lu Jing was curious.
Wen Zizai didn't say much and asked them to leave. As for Wen Zhaocheng, he had been poisoned and controlled. He hadn't done it willingly, and the young man was dead. What he had done to control Wen Zhaocheng still needed to be investigated.
After they left, Wen Zizai immediately contacted Dean Han of Yihuang Academy.
"Cold Immortal Sect?"
President Han was shocked. "Shouldn't this sect have disappeared?
Why has it reappeared? "
Wen Zizai replied, "He didn't disappear. He went to another region of space, the region that Lu Yin mentioned."
President Han said, "I know, but since it's another starry sky, why would it appear here? How could that young man be a disciple of the Cold Immortal Sect?
Are you trying to control Wen Zhaocheng? "
"That's what I don't understand as well. Maybe he accidentally obtained the legacy of the Cold Immortal Sect, but that's unlikely. He's obviously a cultivator of sacrifice, and the one who gave him the orders must be from the Cold Immortal Sect."
"Could it be Lu Yin?"
"That's not possible. He has no reason to slander the Frigid Immortal Sect. That sect isn't even on the fifth continent."
The two of them were silent for a moment. "No matter what, I will investigate the Wen Clan and see what Wen Zhaocheng has done. As for the news about the Frigid Immortal Sect, we can only seal it."
"That's the only way. Who would impersonate the Frigid Immortal Sect?
It's not like we're in the Fifth Mainland. "
On the other side, Wen Zhaocheng returned to his residence. Elder Han and Lu Jing kept an eye on him.
Wen Zhaocheng looked uneasy. Was he being controlled?
What's going on?
If this had been a normal member of the Wen Clan, he would not have been so worried. After all, he had not done anything willingly after being controlled. Moreover, he should not have done anything. Nothing major had happened to the Wen Clan. However, he was different. Not only was he an elder of the Wen Clan, but he was also a spy from the Technocracy. He was afraid that the Wen Clan would find out about him.
What was going on?
…
In Universe Ocean, far away from the ocean abyss, a group of people was drifting on the ocean.
"Miss Xi Shuang, this is the Cosmic Ocean, and the weather can change at any time. Please enter the cabin," someone shouted.
On the deck, Xi Shuang looked at the calm surface of the sea. Strange fish would occasionally pass by, and she was quite surprised. "Don't worry, it's not like I can't protect myself."
A circle of expeditionary army cultivators surrounded the deck. The ones accompanying Xi Shuang were still the youths who had gone to Sky Bearing City with her. These people had all been ordered by their families to follow Xi Shuang at all costs. If they could catch up to her, they would reach the heavens in a single bound.
There weren't many Emissaries in the Fifth Mainland. Being related to an Emissary was definitely out of his league.
Xi Shuang was already used to being surrounded by such a group of people, but when she looked at these people, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yin. He had been so domineering that a single glance from him had scared these followers into silence. Even her grandfather had been scared witless. Xi Shuang fell into a daze as she thought about him.
Suddenly, the void split open, and a woman walked out. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Xi Shuang. "Come with me." As she spoke, she clapped her hands, forcing back the cultivators protecting Xi Shuang. "My Wang family's Four Uniques
How can you resist it? "She then tried to grab Xi Shuang.
Xi Shuang's face paled. Just as the woman was about to grab her, the void split open, and an elder walked out. He faced the woman and slashed out with a sharp blade. Although the woman was not weak, she was only a Hunter. She was injured by the elder's attack and fell into the sea.
The elder looked down from above. "How dare you attack Miss Xi Shuang? Who are you?"
The woman clutched her shoulder as fresh blood flowed into the sea. She glared at the elder with a ferocious expression. "Tell Xi Gu to listen to the Wang family's orders. The Wang family will allow him to become a third Origin Tribulation cultivator and guarantee that he will become the master of this wasteland."
The elder was bewildered. "Who are you?"
The woman turned around and left.
The elder wanted to stop her, but the woman took out something and disappeared into the Astral Source Universe. The elder was shocked.
Soon, the elder contacted Xi Gu.
Xi Gu was furious. "Why didn't you catch her?"
The elder respectfully replied, "I couldn't catch her. She broke out of the Astral Source Universe and left."
Xi Gu's expression changed. "An Emissary?
No, an Emissary wouldn't have been injured by you. "
The elder repeated the woman's words to Xi Gu, who was confused. "The Wang family?
They guarantee my third Origin Tribulation?
What Wang family? "
…
The same thing happened not only to the Wen family and Xi Shuang, but also to many people in the Innerverse and Outerverse, the Cosmic Sea, and the Neoverse. The entire Four Way Scale had been exposed, but these incidents had only occurred on a small scale and did not cause much of a stir.
Most powers did not know the truth about the Four Way Scales and the primeval surnames, and they suspected that someone was plotting something. After all, the primeval surnames were not in this part of the universe, so how could they act against them and scheme against them?
This was Wei Rong's scheme.
On the surface, Lu Yin had established the best image for the Fifth Mainland, but in the dark, he had incited conflict between the cultivators of the Cosmic Tree Alliance and the Fifth Mainland.
There were no signs of this at the moment, but once the Cosmic Tree Alliance openly tried to force the Fifth Mainland to hand Lu Yin over, these matters would be exposed. No one could say for sure what the truth was, but before the truth was revealed, these powers would not have a good impression of the Cosmic Tree Alliance.
In order to unite the Fifth Mainland against the Cosmic Tree Alliance, Lu Yin had done everything he could. Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others had also done their best, but no one could say for sure what the final outcome would be.
Now, he just had to wait for the Cosmic Tree Alliance to come out of the Technocracy and have a showdown with the Hall of Honor.
…
On this day, Lu Yin suddenly received news that the planet-sized black crystal that he had been secretly searching for had been found.
No one knew whether or not the black crystal actually existed in the universe.
Even though the Hall of Honor and the Great Eastern Alliance had never stopped searching for the black crystal, they had not been able to find any clues even after such a long time had passed. One could imagine how secretive the Neohuman Alliance was about the black crystal.
The discovery of the black crystal this time was a coincidence, but it could also be said to be inevitable.
There was a small flowzone in the Innerverse called the Yan Flowzone, but outsiders called it the Yan Flowzone. This small flowzone was located in the easternmost part of the Innerverse, and it was close to the Astral River that separated the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain. It was a remote flowzone that no one cared about, and no one had visited it for hundreds or thousands of years.
The Yan family controlled the Yan Flowzone, and they had always been the ruler of the Yan Flowzone.
The one who had found the black crystal this time was the son of the Yan family's head and a maid.
He had been bullied since childhood, and he had run away because he could not stand it. He had unintentionally joined the Great Eastern Alliance, Yan Xiao.
Large families had their own rules and factions. Yan Xiao was the son of the Yan family's head and a maid, and he had been bullied since he was young. It was not just the Yan family; countless families in the universe were the same. No one cared about the son of a maid.
Yan Xiao had not been able to stand it when he reached adulthood, and when his mother had died, he had run away from the family. He had fled to the Outerverse out of fear, and he had cultivated for a hundred years before becoming an Explorer. He had unintentionally joined the Great Eastern Alliance, and after experiencing the war with the Astral Beast Domain, he had become the third most powerful person in the Seventh Allied Army, second only to Legion Commander Duan Daynight and the Vice Legion Commander. He had been in high spirits, and he had led the Seventh Allied Army's troops back to the Yan Flowzone.
After becoming the Yan family's successor, he had seen all of the Yan family's resources and some of their secrets. The Yan family's secrets were worthless to the Great Eastern Alliance, but there was one secret that made Yan Xiao ecstatic: the black crystal.
He had never dreamed that the Yan family would know the location of the black crystal, and this secret had come from the Yan family's ancestor.
The black crystal was in the Astral River that separated the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain. It had been chained up by a giant chain, with one end bound to the Innerverse and the other end stored in the Astral River.
That place was the only forbidden zone in the Yan Flowzone, and anyone who went there would die.
Yan Xiao did not know how his ancestor had found out, but he had immediately contacted Wang Wen after learning of the secret, and then informed Lu Yin through Wang Wen.
Lu Yin stood up and looked towards the Innerverse. "Second Nightking, take me to the Yan Flowzone."
The Great Eastern Alliance had displayed a huge amount of power. First, they had participated in the war with the Astral Beast Domain, then they had established the Fifth Pagoda, and now, they had found the black crystal.
In the universe, many cultivators disdained those large organizations. They believed that as long as they reached the peak, they could wipe out everything. A powerhouse with a power level of a million — no, even an Envoy — could decide the outcome of a large-scale battle in outer space.
However, the significance of an organization was not only in its power level, but also in its influence.
Without the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin would not have been able to find the black crystal. This was the power of influence, as even the Hall of Honor had not been able to find it.
Of course, whether it was true or not would have to be verified.
Yan Xiao was currently within his family in the Yan Flowzone, waiting for Lu Yin's arrival.
If the Innerverse was compared to a city, then the Yan Flowzone would be the furthest corner of the city's walls. It was very far from the city's main gate, and no one would come here.
The Yan family's power was nothing in the Innerverse, and it could not even compare to the Northline Flowzone. Lu Yin had never thought that he would come here one day.
Soon, Lu Yin arrived at the place where he and Yan Xiao had agreed to meet.
Yan Xiao was a middle-aged man with a resolute expression, and he stood alone in outer space with a respectful expression.
Lu Yin was led by the Second Nightking to the man.
"You're Yan Xiao?"
Lu Yin asked.
When Yan Xiao saw Lu Yin arrive, he hurriedly bowed respectfully, his gaze filled with fanaticism and reverence. "Yan Xiao of the Great Eastern Alliance's Seventh Allied Army greets the Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin nodded. "Lead the way."
"Yes, Alliance Leader." Yan Xiao respectfully led the way. The Yan Flowzone was not large, and it did not take long for them to arrive at the forbidden zone.
Lu Yin looked into the distance and saw a dark sky that was no different from the normal sky. He also saw a huge Astral River that separated the Human Domain from the Astral Beast Domain. As long as he crossed the Astral River, he would reach the Astral Beast Domain.
