The Second Nightking did not dare to get angry when he heard Ni Huang and Wang Si refer to him as a servant, as they were both half-step Ancestors. He respectfully replied, "That person was Bai Wushen of the Eternal Race. She was the one who attacked me."
"Bai Wushen?"
Ni Huang and Wang Si were shocked.
"Bai Wushen is the most mysterious of the Seven Skygods. I didn't think that it was her!"
Wang Si was confused. "Why would Bai Wushen attack you, and why are you here?"
The Second Nightking did not try to hide the truth, as he knew that he could not. "It was that despicable Lu Yin."
Wang Si raised her brows.
"Lu Yin inadvertently learned the Bai family's Sealed Cage Technique in the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect, and it also controlled me and made me a slave. Bai Wushen was the one who wanted to capture Lu Yin and force him to hand over something, but he was interrupted by the two of you. Thank you, seniors, for saving me."
"Where's Lu Yin?"
Wang Si asked coldly.
The Second Nightking replied, "I'm not sure. Perhaps he was taken away by Bai Wushen."
Ni Huang's tone was gloomy. "Impossible, she didn't have time to take him away. I broke into her inner world, and there's no one alive inside."
The Second Nightking was astonished. "He wasn't taken away?
Then I'm not sure. I was tortured by Bai Wushen, and if it weren't for the two seniors, I would already be dead. Thank you again for saving me. "
Ni Huang looked past the Second Nightking and around.
Wang Si coldly asked, "Since you're following Lu Yin, you should be very clear about his situation."
The Second Nightking respectfully replied, "Yes, I'm very clear about it. If there's anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything."
Wang Si grunted in acknowledgment. Although the Second Nightking's attitude was respectful, he was still being controlled by Lu Yin's Cage Technique, so there was a chance that he might be lying. She decided to bring the Second Nightking back to the Frigid Immortal Sect and have someone from the Bai family control him again.
"If Lu Yin wasn't taken away by Bai Wushen, then he's definitely hiding somewhere nearby." Ni Huang looked around. There were many planets nearby, and two of them had humans living on them.
Wang Si coldly replied, "Just destroy him. No matter where that bastard Lu Xiaoxuan is hiding, he'll definitely die."
Ni Huang frowned. It would be too cruel to destroy the people on two planets. "With our abilities, Lu Xiaoxuan won't be able to hide. Let's search one planet each. Don't kill for no reason."
Wang Si was dissatisfied, but when she recalled Ni Huang's strength, she still said, "Alright."
Just as he was about to search the planet, Ni Huang's expression suddenly changed. "Someone's approaching. It's a Half-Martial Ancestor. Take everyone on this planet into your inner world and take them away." She waved her hand, and everyone on the planet disappeared.
Wang Si was the same.
After they took everyone away, a figure broke through the void and walked out with a wine gourd in his hand. It was the Drunkard.
It was easy to detect a battle between half-martial ancestors, especially when Bai Wushen had attacked Universe Ocean before leaving. His goal was to attract the half-martial ancestors over.
Lu Yin was the most important part of their strategy. With Bai Wushen's strength in the Fifth Mainland's shell, it would be difficult for him to be Ni Huang's match. He would also not be able to take Lu Yin away. All he could do was attract the attention of the Fifth Mainland's Half-Progenitors.
The Drunkard had been rushing to the fifth pagoda and was the closest to it. Naturally, he was the first to arrive.
Looking at Ni Huang and Wang Si, Drunkard Addict asked solemnly, "Where are the two of you from?"
Wang Si replied coldly, "My surname is Wang."
Drunkard Addict was shocked. "So you're from that region of space. Why have the two of you returned?"
”。
Wang Si stared at Drunkard Addict. "This has nothing to do with you. Back off."
Drunkard Addict looked past Wang Si and saw the Second Nightking. His expression changed. "Where's Lu Yin?"
Wang Si sneered. "His name is Lu Xiaoxuan. Don't you know him?"
"Where is he?"
Drunkard Addict's tone sank. He knew about the grudge between Lu Yin and the Four Cardinal Scales. With the Second Nightking in such a miserable state, Lu Yin's fate would definitely not be good.
"I said, back off. This has nothing to do with you," Wang Si said.
Ni Huang stepped forward and faced Drunkard Addict. "We also want to find Lu Xiaoxuan. Since we've met, let's have a chat."
Drunkard Addict put away his wine gourd and looked at Ni Huang with an unprecedentedly solemn expression. This person actually gave him a lot of pressure, which was something that was unique in the Fifth Mainland. "And you are?"
"White Dragon Tribe's Grand Elder, Ni Huang."
Drunkard Addict nodded. "So you're from the White Dragon Tribe. Do you two know where Lu Yin is?"
"We don't, so we'll have to trouble you to help us find him. As thanks, the Four Cardinal Scales are willing to accept some of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators into our universe to cultivate. There's no need for you to sneak in anymore," Ni Huang said. This was the condition that the Four Cardinal Scales had come up with after some discussion.
They had already given a lot of resources to the Skygenesis Academy for Lu Yin, and they also had to account to the Fifth Mainland.
After the Origin Wheel Ceremony, the Fifth Mainland had sent people to sneak into the Astral Tree Domain to search for the Origin Item. They believed that this condition would allow the Fifth Mainland's cultivators to openly compete for the Origin Item, which was far more valuable than Lu Xiaoxuan.
From the Four Cardinal Scales' point of view, the Fifth Mainland would definitely not dare to become enemies with them just for Lu Xiaoxuan. Even if they hated the primeval surnames, so what?
Wang Si was full of confidence. Lu Xiaoxuan had done many things in the Fifth Mainland, but how could he compare to the Four Cardinal Scales' conditions?
Drunkard Addict did not reply and simply waited quietly.
Ni Huang and Wang Si exchanged glances, as they knew that Drunkard Addict was waiting for the other Half-Martial Ancestors. The Fifth Mainland had more than one Half-Martial Ancestor, and it was time for them to have a discussion with the Fifth Mainland's top echelons. If Lu Xiaoxuan was not on these two planets, then they could still count on the Fifth Mainland's people to help them find him.
After some time, Heavenly Master Shangsheng and Elder Gong arrived at the same time, and they immediately looked at Ni Huang.
Every realm had its own differences, and Ni Huang was at the peak of the Half-Martial Ancestor realm. She was infinitely close to becoming a Progenitor, and the only thing she lacked was a transformation.
She had easily destroyed Bai Wushen's inner world, which was something that no ordinary Half-Martial Ancestor could do.
Even though the Fifth Mainland's Seven Skygods were just empty shells, they still had the power of a Half-Martial Ancestor. Otherwise, they would not have been able to join forces to kill their way into the Daosource Sect and kill Half-Martial Ancestor 93.
When she saw that two Half-Martial Ancestors had appeared, Wang Si's expression turned slightly serious, but she did not care. The gap between Half-Martial Ancestors was obvious, and Ni Huang alone was enough to defeat the three of them. This was what all the cultivators in the Astral Tree Domain knew about Ni Huang.
"This is a little troublesome," Heavenly Master Shangsheng said in a low voice as he looked at Ni Huang with apprehension.
Drunkard was helpless. "White Dragon Tribe's Elder Ni Huang. She's an old fellow who has lived for a very long time. Even during the era of the Daosource Sect, she was still famous."
"The White Dragon Tribe has existed for a very long time, and they far surpass the average human. This Elder Ni Huang has witnessed the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas' Daosource Sect and the passage of time. Even the three of us might not be a match for her," Elder Gong said.
"Since she left, why did she come back just for a single Lu Yin?"
Heavenly Master Shangsheng shook his head and sighed.
Elder Gong had a profound look in his eyes. The Lu family had controlled the Fifth Mainland, and they had been second only to the Daosource Sect since ancient times. After the Daosource Sect had collapsed, the Lu family had moved the mother tree away, and they had relied on their own strength to suppress the other families' powers to the point where they could not even breathe. This was the strength of the Lu family. Lu Yin's strength was not apparent now, but once Lu Yin stepped into the Half-Martial Ancestor realm or even the Progenitor realm, who would be able to stop him?
The Four Cardinal Scales had not only rebelled against the entire Lu family, but also against every single member of the Lu family, especially the direct descendants.
With the General Appointing Platform, a single person could rule a country, and a single person could be revered. Any direct descendant of the Lu family who possessed the General Appointing Platform was feared by the Four Cardinal Scales. Furthermore, Lu Yin not only had the innate gift of the General Appointing Platform, but he also had the Grim Reaper's inheritance, which made him invincible.
In the distance, a long blade tore through the void and descended. It was Xia Ji.
Xia Ji was filled with a sharp aura as he stood in outer space, looking at Ni Huang and Wang Si.
Wang Si sneered. "Arrogant."
Elder Ni Huang looked at Xia Ji and calmly said, "As a Half-Martial Ancestor, it's unwise for you to display your sharpness. However, this blade intent belongs to someone from the Xia family."
Wang Si raised her brows. "Someone from the Xia family left behind in this region?
There's actually a Half-Martial Ancestor? "
The Four Cardinal Scales had joined forces to rebel against the Lu family, but that did not mean that they were united. On the contrary, the Four Cardinal Scales had their own internal conflicts.
The Wang family, the White Dragon Tribe, and the Bai family did not leave behind any direct descendants in this region. Only the Xia family did, and they had even produced a Half-Martial Ancestor. This was not good news for them.
Xia Ji sheathed his blade and looked at Ni Huang warily. He frowned. This person was terrifyingly strong, and her aura was long. Xia Ji's blade intent could not break through that seemingly ordinary domain that was gradually permeating the heavens.
Finally, Elder Chan arrived.
All this time, Elder Chan had never revealed his true strength.
The Hall of Honor dominated the Fifth Mainland, and this was publicly acknowledged. But why?
Because the Hall of Honor had many experts?
Even if they had many experts, where had they come from when the Hall was first established?
Even if they had many experts, how could they compare to the strength of other Half-Martial Ancestors?
Ever since Lu Yin had stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had always had a question: What right did the Hall of Honor have to dominate the Fifth Mainland?
As time passed, this question had been suppressed at the bottom of his heart, as if he had gotten used to it.
Today, however, Ni Huang was the first to know the answer. It was Elder Chan.
The moment Elder Chan appeared, Ni Huang's domain that had gradually permeated the heavens quickly dissipated. She was stunned and looked at Elder Chan in shock. How could this be?
Wang Si also sensed this, and she stared at Elder Chan in shock. This person gave her a terrifying feeling, and he was similar to the Myriad Dao Ancestor. He was someone who was on par with the Myriad Dao Ancestor and Ni Huang.
Xia Ji and the rest were not surprised. This was Elder Chan's true strength, the strength of the Hall of Honor's master.
It was precisely because there were differences in strength between Half-Martial Ancestors that Elder Chan had been able to rely on his own strength to suppress the other Half-Martial Ancestors and establish the Hall of Honor to control the Fifth Mainland. Elder Chan was also a powerhouse who was infinitely close to the Progenitor realm. If not for the fact that the Sixth Mainland had replaced the Realm of Heaven, he might have broken through long ago.
Now, however, he was restrained by the Fifth Mainland and did not dare to break through. He was afraid that failure would lead to a great change in the Human Domain.
Once a person had something to worry about, they would no longer be able to remain alone in the world. When breaking through, there would be a flaw in their heart.
"White Dragon Tribe, Elder Ni Huang?"
Elder Chan asked as he calmly looked over.
Elder Ni Huang looked at Elder Chan in shock. "You are?"
Elder Chan smiled faintly. "We've met once before. I remember you, but you might not remember me."
"I'd like to hear more," Elder Ni Huang said solemnly.
