"What do you want now?"
The Mist Ancestor glanced at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin said, "Um, I want to go to the Top Realm. Can you use Wei to replace me in the academy?"
"Of course, it's a small matter."
Lu Yin coughed, "That's right, but don't get discovered. For example, Dean Wen and the others."
The Mist Ancestor said, "If it was before, I wouldn't have been able to do it with the strength of a Half-Ancestor. It would have been easy to be discovered, but it's different now. Don't worry, they won't be able to find out unless they intentionally disrupt your seclusion."
Lu Yin frowned. That's right, what if they intentionally disrupt my seclusion?
Dean Wen and the others wouldn't, but the people from Shenwu Plane might. If Xia Ziheng and the others became suspicious of him, they might do something. Seclusion was definitely out of the question. Every time something happened in the outside world, he was either at the scene or in seclusion. It was too much of a coincidence.
Lu Yin pondered for a moment and then looked at the Mist Ancestor. "Senior, can you help me disguise someone as I am now?"
"It's a small matter. Since you've done your best to help me, I can help you."
Lu Yin took out Mount Supreme and found Liu Shaoge.
He had thought of many people, but none of them were as suitable as Liu Shaoge. This guy was born with the ability to disguise himself, and he might even be able to disguise himself better than Lu Yin.
Liu Shaoge readily agreed, as he had no right to refuse.
Of course, he also had the Grim Reaper's Seal in his body, or else Lu Yin wouldn't be at ease with him.
Lu Yin watched as Liu Shaoge was disguised as Yu Hao and told him everything that had happened recently. "The only problem is Jieyu. You can refuse with the excuse that you're not feeling well."
Liu Shaoge smiled. "Don't worry."
It had to be said that this guy was far more like Yu Hao than Lu Yin was. His smile was more natural and fake, at least in Lu Yin's eyes.
…
There was an unspoken rule in the Top Realm's Four Scales: they had to be at the same height.
Cold Immortal Sect's clouds, Dragon Mountain's mountain peaks, Divine Martial Heaven's Prison Flood Dragon, as well as the sphere of light above Wang Family's continent, if a flat surface was placed in the Top Realms, this flat surface would definitely be level, supported by the Four Directional Scales, neither high nor low.
Among them, the Wang Clan's continent was the most difficult to enter. This was because the Wang Clan lived on a palm, or rather, it was a continent that was shaped like a palm. It floated in the sky. Anyone who wanted to enter the palm continent was thousands of times more difficult than entering the Top Realm.
Not everyone had the qualifications to step onto the Wang Family's continent.
Lu Yin smoothly arrived at the Top Realm, and he passed through mountains, lakes, and seas. He saw many cities, but these cities did not belong to any organization. There were only four behemoths in the Top Realm: the Four Balances. Cultivators who worshipped the Four Balances lived in these cities, and they provided resources, mining, and food for the Four Balances.
Lu Yin was astonished when he saw the giant palm in the distance. "It should be a real palm, but I don't know where it came from. Only a giant would have such a huge palm."
The Wang Family's palm-shaped land was not considered big, and the people who lived there were all cultivators from the Wang Family. If Lu Yin wanted to obtain the Wang Family's restrictions regarding the Star Alliance, he would have to at least ascend that palm.
He hadn't figured out how to get the restriction, so he decided to come here first and think about it later. He would take it one step at a time.
Next to him, Elder Qing Xing said, "I once accompanied Young Ancestor Bai Shaohong to the Wang Family's Continent, but what left the deepest impression on me was not the continent, but the glowing sphere above their heads."
He looked up and saw a sphere that resembled a sun.
"It's said that that sphere once burned a Progenitor to death," Elder Qing Xing said.
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Burned a Progenitor to death?"
Elder Qing Xing replied, "That's what the legends say, but no one knows the truth. Actually, the Four Balances each have their own trump cards. Even the White Dragon Clan, which has the weakest trump card, can awaken the Progenitor Mang after going all out. The Frigid Immortal Sect, Shenwu Plane, and the Wang Family all have trump cards."
Lu Yin knew that Elder Qing Xing was indirectly warning him not to go to the Wang Family's Continent. If he went, then everyone would be in danger.
Lu Yin was a little apprehensive after hearing Elder Qing Xing's words, and he looked at the sphere again. "Let's go and find Lei Wu."
Lei Wu was a member of the Hidden Earth Organization that Lu Yin had seen outside of Dragon Mountain when he had merged with the assassin's body. He had originally belonged to one of the cities below Dragon Mountain, but he had failed to obtain protection from the White Dragon Clan. He had been transferred to the Wang Family because one of the Wang Family's upper echelons was a Hidden Earth Organization member who could at least ensure their safety.
The White Dragon Clan also had a Hidden Earth Organization member who held a high position. Although he could not influence the White Dragon Clan, he could still help Lei Wu. Unfortunately, that person had died during the battle at Dragon Mountain, so Lei Wu had no choice but to come here.
Lei Wu was Lu Yin's key to entering the Wang Family's Continent.
He could not force his way in, and he did not plan on borrowing the Fog Ancestor's power to enter the Wang Family, which was a colossus with a Progenitor. He did not want to be discovered and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
At this moment, he changed his appearance again. He was no longer Yu Hao, but rather a very ordinary man. After finding Lei Wu, he would become a member of the Lei Family.
Far in front of Lu Yin, directly below the Wang Family's Continent, there was a huge cluster of cities. Dozens of cities were connected together, and the people who lived here were more or less related to the Wang Family. Some of them were here to escape calamity, but as long as they could enter the city, they would be safe. The Wang Family's Continent did not allow private fights.
Within one of the cities, Lei Wu's face was filled with exhaustion.
Back when he had failed to seize control of the city, he had gone to Dragon Mountain to seek help from someone from the Hidden Earth Organization. However, he had encountered an assassin, and if that assassin had not mysteriously committed suicide, he would not have survived until now.
As for the person who could have helped him, he had died because of the great changes at Dragon Mountain. It was all Lu Xiaoxuan's fault, and he had been forced to go through untold hardships and travel for more than ten years before arriving at the Wang Family's territory. He had also contacted the Wang Family's Hidden Earth Organization and exhausted the Lei Family's wealth in order to obtain the opportunity to freely enter the Wang Family's Continent.
He had traveled from Dragon Mountain to the Wang Family's Continent, and the difficulty of the journey was immeasurable. His clansmen had almost died, and the Top Realm was too large and too dangerous.
Now, he had finally obtained the opportunity to freely enter the Wang Family's Continent, and there was even a possibility that he would be assigned to one of the cities within the Wang Family's territory. However, something unexpected had happened, and the Hidden Earth Organization's upper echelon had asked him to help arrange for someone to enter the Wang Family's Continent.
When Lei Wu had received this news, he had been stunned. Even an idiot would know that there was something wrong with that person, and they had actually asked him for help. If this matter was discovered, then forget about that person, even Lei Wu himself would be finished.
Even if he was lucky enough to avoid being targeted by the Wang Family, he did not have the ability to go to another Square Libra Region, and the Lei Family did not have the financial resources to bribe him.
He wanted to reject the request, but the Hidden Earth Organization's upper echelon had not given him the chance to do so. The person who wanted to enter the Wang Family's Continent had not sought out the Hidden Earth Organization's upper echelon, but had instead sought out Lei Wu. In the end, it was because Lei Wu was insignificant.
The Hidden Earth Organization still existed in the Cosmic Tree Realm.
It was because they were secretive and helped each other, but that did not mean that they were selfless. Compared to the Hidden Earth Organization's upper echelon, Lei Wu was naturally much easier to sacrifice.
"Grandfather, someone's here." Lei Wu's grandson, Lei Yan, walked over with a solemn expression.
When he had been assassinated at Dragon Mountain, he had still been a young boy. Now, he was already a Hunter, and he looked steady and mature.
The Lei family's experiences over the past few years had left Lei Wu physically and mentally exhausted. Lei Yan was the same, as he had experienced too much.
The Lei family was very large, and they had been bribed to enter and leave the Wang Family's continent freely. They also had a decent status in this city, and their residence was very large, including a corner of the city.
At this moment, outside the Lei family's residence, two strangers were looking in Lei Wu's direction. Their gazes pierced through the void, and when they met Lei Wu's gaze, they smiled.
Lei Wu's heart sank, as what was supposed to come had finally come. He tiredly said, "Please enter." He then instructed the guests to prepare tea. Regardless of whether they were willing to help, they still had to put on a show.
Soon, the two strangers entered the residence.
Lei Wu smiled. "Honored guests, please forgive us for not coming out to greet you."
One of the strangers smiled. "Does the Lei family know us?"
Lei Wu replied, "I don't know you, but since you were introduced by the organization, you are friends. May I know which one of you wishes to ascend the Wang Family's continent?"
The two strangers looked at each other in astonishment. "Both of us want to ascend."
Lei Wu's expression changed. "I told the organization that I would only bring one person. I really can't bring two people with me."
"Organization?
What organization? "
The other stranger asked curiously.
Lei Wu was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something. These two had nothing to do with the Hidden Earth Society.
His eyes flashed, and his expression quickly returned to normal. "Obviously, it's an organization formed by the people in the surrounding cities who secretly want to curry favor with the Wang Family. Every once in a while, I can help them bring one person to ascend the Wang Family's continent. If they are lucky, they can stay, but if they are unlucky, not even their corpses will return. Why, were you not introduced by the organization?"
"No, but we also wish to ascend the Wang Family's continent," said the stranger who had spoken first.
Lei Wu immediately refused. "If that's the case, then forgive me for not being able to help. Please leave."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I told you not to waste your breath on him," the other stranger said in a low voice. A terrifying aura suddenly enveloped Lei Wu and Lei Yan. Their faces turned pale as they looked at him in fear. "Star … Emissary?"
The stranger who had spoken first shook his head helplessly. "Sometimes, you can't do things so simply and crudely. After all, we need his help to ascend the Wang Family's continent. If they don't agree and reveal any flaws, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Hmph," he retracted his aura.
Lei Wu and Lei Yan only then let out a sigh of relief. Their backs were drenched in sweat. This was troublesome. There were two uninvited guests.
"Two … Two seniors, why are you looking for the Lei Family?
There are many families in this area that can freely enter the Wang Family's continent. Our Lei Family is just at the bottom, "Lei Wu was confused.
"We don't need to explain our actions to you. If you don't bring us to the Wang Family's continent, there won't be a Lei Family in the future," the stranger said. Although his tone was calm, it sent chills down Lei Wu's spine. He believed that he wasn't joking.
"Yes," Lei Wu could only agree helplessly.
"We want to wait for someone here. Everything will be normal during this period of time. We won't hinder the Lei Family from doing anything. Just pretend that we don't exist," the stranger said. Then, he asked Lei Yan to bring him to the guest room to rest.
