"That's great. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zheng," Lu Yin said happily. He had no interest in training, but he could not show it. As for Mr. Zheng, he knew that it was hopeless for him to lead the team, but he was also worried about Lu Yin, which was why he had come to give him some pointers. This person was dedicated to the academy, and he was a good mentor that was hard to come by. It was just that he was too strict. If Lu Yin were to describe him from Earth, he would be a standard teaching director.
In the next hour, Mister Zheng talked about his experiences of leading students to gain experience, including the Middle Level Realm, the Lower Mortal Realm, the Middle Level Sea, and the battlefield on the other side. Yi Xian Academy was not an ivory tower, and the students it taught were not only focused on cultivation.
"Back at the second foundation, if the sourcebox array hadn't been repaired at the critical moment, all of us would have died. The dean and Elder Ce were held back by the twelve Eternal Marquises. Lu …" Mister Zheng suddenly paused and changed the topic. "I'm only saying all of this to inform Mister Haoyu that training is very important to the academy, and this is the first time you've been able to train at the Four Cardinal Scales.
Lu Yin nodded. "I know. By the way, Mr. Zheng mentioned the Lu family. Was there someone from the Lu family that went with you?"
Mr. Zheng waved a hand. "Just pretend that you didn't hear anything. Actually, the most elite disciples of the Four Cardinal Scales are all in Yi Xian Academy. Going to their mountain isn't considered training. The real training is in the Lower Realm, which is the battlefield on the backside. After this training in the Four Cardinal Scales, the academy will organize mentors to bring students to the battlefield on the backside.
"Has Mr. Haoyu ever been to the battlefield on the backside?"
Lu Yin was stunned. Had Haoyu ever been to the battlefield on the backside?
Probably not, as Haoyu had been trash before he committed suicide, and he did not have the qualifications to go. "No."
Mr. Zheng looked at Lu Yin. "Then going to the battlefield on the backside is not only training for the students, but also for the mentors. Mr. Haoyu, you're not the only one who hasn't been to the battlefield on the backside. You'll see the cruelest truth that humanity faces."
After chatting for a while more, Mister Zheng was about to leave. Before he left, he said, "Going to the battlefield on the other side of the battlefield to experience life and death, but going to the Four Way Balance to train your heart." With that, he left.
Lu Yin felt that it was strange, as Mr. Zheng seemed to know something. The academy had never sent anyone to the Four Cardinal Scales before.
But on second thought, he figured it out. What could the students of Yi Xian Academy go to the Four Way Scales to gain experience?
The most elite students here were also the prodigies of the Four Way Scales. They were basically the same group of people. Rather than saying that they were there to gain experience, it was more accurate to say that they were there to give the Four Way Scales a chance to recruit and make a name for themselves.
Those who could enter Yi Xian Academy were not ordinary people. These people could be regarded as important by Yi Xian Academy, and similarly, they could also be regarded as important by the Square Scale.
If that was really the case, then he had to do something. He couldn't allow these elite students to be bewitched by the Four Way Scales.
Far away, the Yin Mountain Region had long been sealed off. The Four Way Scales confirmed that the disappearance of Xia Xing and the others was caused by the God of Forgotten Ruins. The Cold Immortal Sect also pointed out that the God of Forgotten Ruins had appeared in the Yin Mountain Region. Whether they believed it or not, the Four Way Scales would investigate, no matter how big the Yin Mountain Region was.
In the Yin Mountain Region's Humble Branch, Sect Master Zhuo Si was just as lazy as before. He didn't want to care about anything.
Back when Lu Yin had disguised himself as Lin Jiangyi and joined the Yin Mountain Region's Humble Branch as Draconic Seven, Zhuo Si had two captains, Wang Dashuai and Mo Gaohe. Although they caused trouble all day and liked to fight when they had nothing to do, at least it was lively. Now that Wang Dashuai and Mo Gaohe were gone, the Yin Mountain Region's Humble Branch was quiet and somewhat cold, just like its name.
This place was prepared for the disciples of the Four Way Scales who weren't valued but didn't have a low status. It was a place for them to have a place to pass their days. However, after the incident with Draconic Seven, the Four Way Scales didn't send those disciples over, which was why the Yin Mountain Region had become like this.
However, Zhuo Si was still quite satisfied.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, and Zhuo Si's expression changed. The next moment, he was grabbed without any resistance. The person who had grabbed him was Half-Ancestor Wu Yao from the Cold Immortal Sect.
"You're clearly at the fifth Calamity Origin Stage, yet you're hiding in the Yin Mountain Region. The sect's investigation is correct. You're on good terms with the Lu family," Wu Yao's cold voice rang out, causing everyone in the Yin Mountain Region's Humble Branch to tremble in fear.
Zhuo Si didn't fight back, as he didn't have the ability to. "Senior, who are you?"
With a thump, Zhuo Si was thrown to the ground.
Many cultivators from the Four Way Scales appeared from all directions. Long Tian was one of them, and he stared at Zhuo Si.
"I'm Wu Yao. Zhuo Si, you're on good terms with the Lu family. The sect has let you do as you please for too long," Wu Yao said.
Zhuo Si struggled to get up. His shoulder had caved in from Wu Yao's beating. "I'm the Humble Branch's Yinshan Region's Sect Master. Have you asked Overseer Qingchen if you want to touch me?
Have you asked Ancestor Mu Xie? "
Wu Yao glared at him, and the pressure pressed down on Zhuo Si once again. "Don't use the Humble Branch's name to pressure me. I'm here on behalf of the Four Way Scales. We didn't touch you before because we wanted to bait you, but now …" "What now?" He roared, and the void was torn apart. Another wave of pressure swept out and pressed down on Wu Yao.
Wu Yao raised his brows and released his Astral Source. At the same time, an Astral Source that could suffocate an Emissary appeared on the other side. The two Astral Sources tore apart the sky of the Yin Mountain Region, causing countless people to tremble in fear.
Zhuo Si heaved a sigh of relief. Overseer Qingchen had arrived.
It was Qingchen. When he found out that the Four Way Scales had sealed off the Yin Mountain Region, he knew that things weren't good. Many people knew about Zhuo Si's past, and he was afraid that the Four Way Scales would make a move against him. This time, the Four Way Scales had mobilized to deal with the Seven Skygods, and there was no lack of Half-Martial Ancestors. Once they made a move against Zhuo Si, he wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
The truth was just as he had guessed. Wu Yao had attacked Zhuo Si mercilessly.
The two Half-Martial Ancestors clashed, causing chaos in the Yin Mountain Region. In the end, it was only under the mediation of the Wang family's Half-Martial Ancestor Chai that they stopped fighting.
Wu Yao coldly stared at Qingchen. "You should know about Zhuo Si's past with the Lu family. The Ancestor said that anyone who colludes with the Lu family should be captured or killed."
Qingchen coldly shouted, "That was a long time ago. I also have connections with the Lu family and was even a guest. Do you want to capture me as well?"
Wu Yao's gaze turned cold. "Capturing you is the Ancestor's business. I want to capture Zhuo Si."
"You can't find the Seven Skygods, so you want to use Zhuo Si to make up for it. Wu Yao, you're still a Half-Martial Ancestor, and you're still as vicious and merciless as before. If you want to use people from the Humble Class to help you gain merit, go find Ancestor Mu Xie if you have the ability." Qingchen didn't hold back.
Wu Yao was furious. "Don't use the Humble Class to oppress others. If it weren't for your Humble Class, the remnants of the Lu family wouldn't have been able to escape. The Ancestor will settle this matter with you sooner or later."
"It's not up to you to settle this!" Qingchen shouted.
Half-Martial Ancestor Chai walked out. "Both of you are here to capture Redback and the Seven Skygods. There's no need to quarrel like this."
Wu Yao glanced at Zhuo Si. "The expeditionary army has already gone to the Abandoned Land to kill the remnants of the Lu family. Fine, I'll let you live for two more days. When the New Sky Corridor is repaired and they return with Lu Xiaoxuan's head, the remnants of the Lu family in this region will be exposed."
Zhuo Si suddenly raised his head. He knew about the expeditionary army and hoped that Lu Xiaoxuan would be fine.
Qingchen didn't say much about this matter and looked to the other side. Xia Ziheng walked out. "Since the Seven Skygods haven't been found, our own people should go inside first.
It's best if outsiders don't see them, otherwise, where will the prestige of the Four Way Scales go? "
"I'm not from the Four Way Scales," Qingchen said bluntly.
Xia Ziheng looked at Qingchen. "Actually, Half-Martial Ancestor Wu Yao's attack on Zhuo Si wasn't sudden. Does Superintendent Qingchen know who came to this region of space?"
Qingchen was surprised. "This region of space?
What do you mean? "
Xia Ziheng's gaze was gloomy. "Kui Luo, he's back."
Qingchen was shocked. "Kui Luo?
Didn't he capture the Wang family and escape to the Abandoned Lands? "
"That's why we want to capture Zhuo Si and check if he's seen Lu Xiaoxuan. Kui Luo saved Lu Xiaoxuan several times, so he probably went to the Abandoned Lands to look for Lu Xiaoxuan. He shouldn't have come alone. If Lu Xiaoxuan isn't dead, then he might have come to our region of space. He stayed here before, so maybe Zhuo Si knows his whereabouts," Xia Ziheng said.
Qingchen subconsciously looked at Zhuo Si.
The others also looked at Zhuo Si.
Zhuo Si hurriedly said, "Superintendent, I definitely haven't seen Lu Xiaoxuan or Kui Luo. If I lie, my cultivation will never improve and I'll never be able to become a Half-Martial Ancestor."
Wu Yao was disdainful. "You want to become a Half-Martial Ancestor?"
Qingchen frowned and glanced at Wu Yao and Xia Ziheng. "I believe in Zhuo Si. Don't look at him like that. Which cultivator doesn't want to reach the Half-Martial Ancestor or even the Ancestor Realm?"
"It's not impossible for him to sacrifice his own cultivation to protect Lu Xiaoxuan," Xia Ziheng said.
Wu Yao also said, "Believe it or not, he's with us. Let's take him away. Don't worry, we'll only interrogate him. We won't harm his life."
"Impossible. If you want to capture Zhuo Si, you'll need Patriarch Mu Xie's permission. He's one of the sect masters of the Humble Nine Sects and has made great contributions to the human race. You guys don't have the right to capture him," Qingchen said firmly.
Wu Yao and Xia Ziheng looked at each other. Xia Ziheng shook his head slightly. He didn't believe that Zhuo Si knew about Lu Xiaoxuan's whereabouts. If Lu Xiaoxuan really came to this part of the starry sky, he wouldn't have told anyone.
Furthermore, he had another guess. Kui Luo couldn't survive being chased by the expeditionary army in the Abandoned Lands and escaped back. However, he didn't know what method he used to return. As for Lu Xiaoxuan, he might not be able to return because the expeditionary army's target was him.
Letting Kui Luo escape was already the limit. If Lu Xiaoxuan escaped as well, what use would the expeditionary army have?
That was a gathering of four Half-Martial Ancestors, including Great Elder Ni Huang. The Abandoned Lands definitely couldn't stop them. The only variable was that Ancestor Realm expert.
"The New Void Corridor is about to be repaired. When the time comes, we'll know what's going on in the Abandoned Lands. Just let Zhuo Si be free here for a few days," Xia Ziheng said.
Wu Yao said coldly, "Someone reminded me to think of the worst. Let's assume that Lu Xiaoxuan is hiding in this part of the starry sky and is plotting something. He's even roped in some of the Lu Clan's remaining ministers. According to this situation, my Cold Immortal Sect plans to carry out a bloodbath for the Lu Clan's remaining ministers that we've already captured."
Xia Ziheng was shocked. Everyone who heard this was shocked. A bloodbath?
