It was obvious that Elder Chan and the other Half-Ancestors cared about the humans. Even with the threat of a civil war, they were unable to make them give up. This was Lu Xiaoxuan, one of the Seven Heroes. His name had spread throughout the Astral Tree Domain, and he was an absolute genius.
Even though he had lost his memories and been thrown into the wasteland, he had still been able to protect himself.
Even Elder Ni Huang, who had seen countless geniuses, was impressed by Lu Xiaoxuan's achievements. If not for the Lu family, this person would have become a symbol of the human race.
Strangely, he recalled Long Quan's words before he died, and he hoped that what he had said was true.
Wang Si shouted, "Tell us where Lu Xiaoxuan is!
We don't need you to give up. We'll catch him ourselves. It has nothing to do with you. "
Elder Chan looked deeply at Elder Ni Huang. "I'm willing to do everything in my power to make Lu Yin forget his hatred for the Four Cardinal Scales. Is this condition feasible?"
"No." Wang Si immediately objected and glared at Elder Chan. "Lu Xiaoxuan was stripped of his innate gift and memories, and he was left in the wasteland. However, he still managed to climb back up and become a leader among his peers. Someone like him cannot be suppressed. He must be eliminated."
Elder Chan's tone was low. "I don't want to see a civil war between the humans, but I also don't want to see you capture Lu Yin."
"So we can't come to an agreement?"
Wang Si's tone was low and filled with disdain and arrogance.
The Drunkard looked at Wang Si. "You look very ugly."
Wang Si was stunned.
The Heavenly Master, Elder Chan, and the rest were stunned and looked at the Drunkard strangely.
The Drunkard had always acted as if he had drunk too much. Although he was drunk, he did not speak much. However, his words shocked everyone.
Even Elder Ni Huang was shocked.
Wang Si was stunned at first, but then she became furious. "What did you say?
You're courting death! "The Drunkard was about to attack, but Elder Ni Huang stopped him. She stared coldly at the Drunkard." You're a Half-Ancestor, yet you speak so rudely. You're an insult to your status. "
The Drunkard took a swig of wine. "I'm just speaking the truth. I don't lie."
This was the first time Elder Ni Huang had met a Half-Ancestor, and she did not know how to respond.
Don't lie?
No one had asked you if she was ugly, so why did you suddenly say that?
Wang Si's eyes flamed, "Old man, you're courting death."
The Drunkard looked at her calmly. "The more I look at you, the uglier you become. You didn't look like this when you were young, did you?"
Wang Si's eyes widened as she attacked furiously. This time, Grand Elder Ni Huang did not stop her. She also stared coldly at the Drunkard. This was too much.
Elder Chan walked out and stopped Wang Si. "I want to know why you're here."
Wang Si roared, his eyes filled with madness. "Scram! I'm going to kill that old bastard!"
Elder Chan frowned. "He drank too much. He's drunk."
Wang Si roared, "Scram, you bunch of trash from the wasteland!"
Elder Chan's face darkened.
Great Elder Ni Huang's expression changed as well, and she pulled Wang Si back. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Elder Chan's gaze turned cold. "It seems that this is how you view us. No wonder you call this place a wasteland."
Great Elder Ni Huang hurriedly replied, "The Lu Clan calls this place 'abandoned land'. It has nothing to do with us."
Drunkard sneered. "She keeps talking about the Lu Clan. The Lu Clan abandoned the Fifth Mainland, and the Lu Clan called this place a wasteland. The Lu Clan is no more, yet that ugly woman is still saying that this is the Lu Clan's problem?"
"What are you talking about?
You're protecting the humans, but the Eternals outside the Starfall Sea are about to invade, and yet you're only targeting Lu Xiaoxuan. Is this also the Lu Clan's problem?
Even if Lu Xiaoxuan wants to take revenge on you in the future, that will be a long time in the future. Since we're standing on the side of humanity, we'll have to trouble you to deal with the Eternals outside the Starfall Sea first. "
Great Elder Ni Huang's expression turned ugly. Everything had been fine, and no matter how much the Fifth Mainland tried to protect Lu Xiaoxuan, they would have been rendered speechless. Why had the situation suddenly changed?
She stared at Drunkard. This person spoke without thinking, but she could not refute him.
Elder Gong, Xia Ji, and the rest looked at Drunkard strangely. They had not realized that this guy was so talkative, and he had even cursed that woman to the point of insanity. If that woman had not called them trash, they would not have been able to refute Great Elder Ni Huang.
Elder Chan said, "Drunkard is right. Regardless of whether Lu Yin will take revenge on you in the future, at least for now, he's no threat. Since you're here, please deal with the Eternals outside the Starfall Sea first. We're in grave danger, and we could be slaughtered at any time."
Wang Si sneered. "What does your slaughter have to do with us?"
"Shut up!" Great Elder Ni Huang barked, glaring at Wang Si.
Although Wang Si was wary of Great Elder Ni Huang, she was not afraid of her. Furthermore, she was from the Wang family, not the White Dragon Tribe. "Why are you still spouting nonsense? These trash from the wastelands are clearly protecting the remnants of the Lu family. Since that's the case, let's deal with them first. As long as these Half-Progenitors are gone, the wastelands will become our slaves."
"What arrogance! You want to enslave us?
It looks like dealing with Lu Yin is just a pretense, and you want to enslave the Fifth Mainland. "Drunkard wiped his mouth and glared at Wang Si." Not only do you want to enslave us, but you also want to take us to the battlefield behind the wastelands and use us as cannon fodder. "
Wang Si raised her brows. She did not think that way. At most, she wanted to enslave these people, just like how the Wang family had enslaved their servants. However, she was proud and did not want to refute him. "So what if I do?"
Elder Chan sighed. "You came with ill intentions. Lu Yin was just an excuse."
Great Elder Ni Huang had not expected things to turn out this way. They had clearly come to capture Lu Yin, so how had they ended up enslaving the Wastelands?
What was there to enslave in this wretched place?
Helpless, he could only say, "Let's leave it at that for today. We don't want to start a war, and the final decision will depend on the Progenitor behind Lu Xiaoxuan. In any case, the bottom line of the Four Way Scales is that we must take Lu Xiaoxuan away. Even if we don't kill him, we must imprison him. I hope that you don't make a mistake." With that, he led Wang Si and the Second Nightking away.
He regretted coming with Wang Si. This woman's temper was too explosive, and she would explode at the slightest provocation. No matter what he said, it was useless.
After Ni Huang and the others left, Elder Chan looked at Drunkard. "Where's Lu Yin?
You really didn't see him? "
Drunkard shook his head. "They were the only ones I saw when I arrived."
"The Second Nightking is always following Lu Yin around. Could he have been captured?" Heavenly Master Shangsheng was worried.
Elder Chan shook his head. "If he's been captured, then there's no need for them to talk to us."
After a moment of silence, Elder Chan and the others looked at Drunkard. "You're acting very strange today."
Drunkard took a sip of wine. "It has nothing to do with me. Someone taught me to say that."
Everyone was shocked.
This was especially true for Elder Chan, who had not sensed anyone else. "Who?"
Drunkard replied, "The Half-Ancestor who's close to Lu Yin. He said that he had a way to scold those two away."
Elder Chan was speechless.
Luo, it really was him. The way he spoke was just like him.
It seemed like Kui Luo really cared about Lu Yin and was trying his best to protect him. However, this person's strength should not have reached the level where Elder Chan could not detect him. Either he was hiding his strength, or he had a unique method.
Looking past Drunkard, Elder Chan saw Kui Luo appear in the distance. Unlike before, his expression was solemn and even a little ugly.
"You still understand them and know how to deal with them," Elder Chan said to Kui Luo.
Kui Luo's tone was gloomy. "Where's that brat?"
Elder Chan shook his head. "I don't know."
Kui Luo looked at Drunkard, who shook his head as well. "I was the first to arrive, but when I arrived, I saw the Second Nightking following behind them. I didn't see that brat."
Kui Luo looked in the direction of the Technocracy and felt apprehensive. He was afraid that Lu Yin had been captured, but logically speaking, if he had been captured, Ni Huang and Wang Si would not have wasted so much time talking. They were not afraid of the Half-Ancestors here.
Even if the two sides fought to the death, Ni Huang should have been able to escape with her strength.
Where in the world had that brat gone?
The Second Nightking had been severely injured, so he couldn't have died, could he?
"Let's not talk about Lu Yin's whereabouts for now. The Astral Trees have come with ill intentions. If they don't find Lu Yin, they'll definitely think that we've hidden him away, which might lead to a war," Celestial Master Shangsheng said.
Xia Ji coldly replied, "I knew that brat would cause trouble for us. A civil war between humans will only benefit the Eternals. I still think that it's better to throw that brat to the Astral Trees."
"Bullshit! Scram!" Kui Luo glared at Xia Ji and roared, giving everyone a fright.
Xia Ji was furious. "What did you say?"
Kui Luo glared at him coldly. "If you want to hand him over, hand over your son. That brat is more important than your son and your entire Xia family. Don't think that I don't know that you've attacked him. Just you wait, it'll be fine if he's safe, but if something happens to him, I'll make sure that you suffer a fate worse than death. Whether you sleep on your side or lie down, I'll expose you naked."
Xia Ji was furious and panted heavily. A long blade appeared in his hand and he was about to attack.
Elder Chan was helpless. Kui Luo's ability to infuriate others was incredible. "That's enough, Xia Ji. If we really hand him over to them, they'll treat us like a wasteland. We're the Fifth Mainland, and if we can't even protect Lu Yin, we'll be cursed by countless people."
Xia Ji gripped his blade tightly and glared at Kui Luo. This bastard would be killed one day.
Kui Luo glared back at Xia Ji, but he wasn't talking nonsense. If something happened to Lu Yin, he'd make Xia Ji his enemy.
"I'm leaving. If you find that brat and fight with the primeval surnames because of him, don't come looking for me. I won't help," Xia Ji said coldly and stepped out of the sky.
Kui Luo sneered, "You won't help?
I'll make sure to kill you for the rest of my life. "
Xia Ji glared coldly at Kui Luo and left.
"We're leaving too. We'll use everything we have to find that brat," Celestial Master Shangsheng said.
Elder Gong was even more worried about Lu Yin's safety.
Drunkard was helpless. "Something like this happened right after the fifth tower was completed. Sigh …" He then left for the Cosmic Sea.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did.
Drunkard's words stunned Elder Chan. The fifth tower had just been completed, and the Astral Tree had already come looking for Lu Yin? Was this a coincidence?
Or had they already predicted this?
