The Frigid Immortal Sect had pushed the responsibility of capturing Xia Xing's clone, Wang Zheng, and the others onto the Forgotten Ruins God. Along with the information provided by Lan Ling's main body, Lu Yin had been able to complete this plan. This plan had been completely based on misunderstandings and schemes.
At this moment, the stone forest was very quiet. News of Lu Yin's battle in Shenwu Plane had yet to reach the stone forest, and the people inside were still waiting for the Seven Skygods to appear.
What they were waiting for was not the Seven Skygods, but the enormous Hellwyrm.
Around the stone forest, the cultivators of the Four Cardinal Scales gaped as they stared blankly at the sky. "Hellwyrm?"
No one had expected that the Hellwyrm, who should have been shining in Shenwu Plane, would actually appear in the sky above the stone forest.
There were people from Shenwu Plane around the stone forest. "Don't panic, that's the Hellwyrm of Shenwu Plane. The sect must have sensed the Seven Skygods' appearance and sent him out. Legend has it that the Hellwyrm is a Progenitor."
Someone from Shenwu Plane spoke up, and the others relaxed.
At the center of the stone forest, the people from the Star Alliance also looked up.
Some of them were remnants of the Lu family, some had offended the Four Cardinal Scales, and some were truly evil. Regardless of the situation, they were all Emissaries, and there were many of them. When they gathered together, they should not fear anyone. However, when the Hellwyrm appeared, it gave them an unparalleled shock. The fear that came from deep within their bones seeped into their minds, causing them to unconsciously tremble.
An elder looked up at the sky and saw the Hellwyrm's enormous shadow covering the stone forest. He was shocked. His name was Zhan Lin, and he was a Half-Progenitor. He was one of the Half-Progenitors in the Star Alliance.
No one was more shocked than him. The Progenitor's pressure made him feel suffocated, and he had no will to resist.
"Legend has it that Shenwu Plane is suppressing a Progenitor. I never thought that it would be true," Zhan Lin muttered to himself.
The surrounding Emissaries gulped, but they were not too afraid. The Hellwyrm could not attack them, as it represented Shenwu Plane, which meant that Shenwu Plane had made a move.
Everyone thought that Shenwu Plane had arrived.
Atop the Hellwyrm's head, Lu Yin had wanted to look for the Nine Clones technique, but he had not expected the Hellwyrm to be so fast that it had appeared above the stone forest. He looked down and saw many shocked faces. Lu Yin's expression turned cold. "Bring the Star Alliance people here."
He did not enter the stone forest, as there were no powerhouses in the surroundings. How could the Cardinal Scales deal with the Seven Skygods?
The only possibility was that there was something wrong with the stone forest.
Every stone pillar in this stone forest was meticulously carved, and it was obvious that it was not simple. He did not want to take the risk, even if there were two Ancestor experts by his side.
Below, a man from the Shenwu Plane bowed respectfully. "May I ask if you are a senior from the sect?"
Lu Yin barked, "Bring everyone from the Star Alliance here. I'm taking them back to my sect."
The man from Shenwu Plane was confused. "I didn't receive Sect Master." "Impudent!" Lu Yin barked as he slapped the Prison Wyrm with his broken blade. The Prison Wyrm roared at the sky, and its Progenitor's might almost overturned the stone forest, shocking everyone below.
The man from the Divine Martial Heaven hurriedly let the people from the Star Alliance board the Prison Dragon.
The Frigid Immortal Sect, White Dragon Race, and Wang Family wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare to do so in the face of the Caged Flood Dragon's aura. Moreover, the Caged Flood Dragon represented the Divine Martial Heaven, and the Divine Martial Heaven was the one who started this. They hesitated.
Despite their hesitation, someone still contacted the sect to report.
Zhan Lin was the first to walk out. Their freedom was not restricted. Their mission was to wait for the Eternals in the stone forest.
They were to discover them and then kill them. Now that their mission had changed, going to Shenwu Plane was the same.
In any case, a seal had been placed on their bodies, and the Cardinal Scales were not worried about them leaving.
More importantly, they were actually able to climb onto the back of a Progenitor, which was a great honor. Even Zhan Lin, a Half-Ancestor, had never imagined that he would one day be able to climb onto the back of a Progenitor.
As Zhan Lin climbed onto the Prison Wyrm's back, he saw Lu Yin and was stunned. He had never seen this person before, but he should be a direct descendant of the Shenwu Plane. In that case, where were the upper echelons of the Shenwu Plane that controlled the Prison Wyrm?
Lu Yin saw that Zhan Lin's gaze was calm, and he knew that this person was not a descendant of the Lu family. He then waited for the others to climb up.
One by one, the Star Alliance cultivators climbed onto the Prison Wyrm's back.
Lu Yin finally saw the first descendant of the Lu family. It was an old woman, and when she first saw Lu Yin, she was puzzled. Then, she became excited, and she did not dare to believe her eyes. Her gaze confirmed Lu Yin's identity. "I'm Lu Yin. I used to be called Lu Xiaoxuan."
These were the first words that Lu Yin said after the 110 Star Alliance cultivators climbed onto the Prison Wyrm's back. Everyone from the Star Alliance was stunned.
"Young … Young Master?"
The old woman could not believe her eyes.
Beside her, an elder was shocked. "You're the Young Master?"
"Impossible! How could the Young Master be with the Prison Wyrm?"
"He really does look like the Young Master. Is he really the Young Master?"
A few of the 110 Star Alliance cultivators were discussing excitedly, but most of them were astonished. Lu Xiaoxuan, the direct descendant of the Lu family?
One of the Seven Heroes?
How was this possible?
What had happened?
Lu Xiaoxuan was actually riding the Divine Martial Prison Wyrm?
No one could understand what was happening.
Lu Yin did not say anything else, and Savage Blade patted the Prison Wyrm. "Let's go." He had to return to the Fifth Mainland. There were more people in the Star Alliance, but there was still a group of people on the battlefield at the back. He could not save those people, so he had to save as many as he could.
He looked up; why hadn't Xia Shenji and the others appeared yet?
He had thought that he would meet the Four Way Scales' ancestor here.
Outside the stone forest, a cultivator from the Frigid Immortal Sect cried out, "Not good, it's fake! The Prison Wyrm followed Lu Xiaoxuan out of the Divine Martial Plane! That person is Lu Xiaoxuan!"
The others had also received a message from their sect.
The man from the Divine Martial Plane spat out a mouthful of blood. It was over, it was all over. He had just received a message from his sect master, saying that Lu Xiaoxuan had chased the Prison Wyrm out of the Divine Martial Plane. That person was Lu Xiaoxuan, and although he did not know how he had controlled the Prison Wyrm, the Star Alliance had been saved by him.
The order he had received before was that unless the Four Way Scales gave the order, the Star Alliance was not allowed to leave the stone forest. He had not expected himself to be so foolish as to allow the Star Alliance to leave. It was over, and his sect would not let him off.
He looked up with bloodshot eyes, wanting to keep the Star Alliance here, but all he saw was the Prison Wyrm's enormous figure and its unparalleled pressure.
He could not keep the Star Alliance here.
The Prison Wyrm turned around and headed towards the edge of the Top Realm. The exit from the Cosmic Tree Realm was in the Middle Realm, but it was not the same one as before. This was a new one. Before Lu Yin had come here, Heavenly Master Xiu Ming had told him that he had to hurry to that place.
In an instant, the Prison Wyrm disappeared.
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly," the Mist Ancestor said in surprise. He then turned to look at the Prison Wyrm's back, where Lu Yin had already started to remove the restrictions on the Star Alliance members. His priority was naturally the Lu family's surviving members. The others were not in a hurry, and they could wait until they returned to the Fifth Mainland.
There were not only the surviving members of the Lu family in the Star Alliance, but there were also people who had offended the Four Way Scales.
There were good and bad people among them, and there were even some who had committed heinous crimes. These people could not be released, and the Mist Ancestor had to distinguish between them.
Unfortunately, Zhou Tang, Guo Hai, and the others were still fighting at the back, and he could not save them.
The Prison Wyrm was extremely fast, and it did not take long for them to reach the edge of the Top Realm.
There was no need for them to go down the ladder; they could just pass through the edge and head towards the Middle Realm.
The Mist Ancestor could already see the edge of the Top Realm, and at the same time, he saw a familiar person: Xia Shenji.
Lu Yin, who was removing the restrictions on the Lu family's surviving members, suddenly heard an explosion above his head. The void's Autonomous Slaughter Realm shattered in all directions, and boundless Progenitor power swept out in all directions, distorting everything.
A great battle between Progenitors had broken out in the Sovereign Realm, but it was not at the frontlines against the Eternals. Instead, it was near the Top Realm.
"Kid, Xia Shenji is here," the Mist Ancestor's voice rang out.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked in front of him, only to see a person with his hands behind his back blocking his path. Although this person did not emit any aura, the Caged Wyrm did not rush over. Instead, it bared its fangs and brandished its claws in an attempt to intimidate the person while roaring.
"It's been so many years, but your injuries still haven't healed. I'm very curious as to who injured you so severely that even I couldn't do anything about it," a gentle voice said. It did not sound as oppressive as Lu Yin had expected, and it sounded just like an uncle next door.
However, Lu Yin did not dare to underestimate this person, as this person was Xia Shenji. Although he was not from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, he was still a Progenitor who could not be underestimated.
The Caged Wyrm raised its claws and roared louder and louder. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws in an attempt to scare Xia Shenji away.
Xia Shenji smiled nonchalantly and glanced at the figure on top of the Caged Wyrm's head. There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes as he said, "Long time no see, Xiwei."
Xiwei was the Mist Ancestor's name, so anyone who could say this name had to be someone of the same generation.
The Mist Ancestor looked at Xia Shenji with a complicated expression. "Yes, long time no see."
"I never thought that our first meeting after so many years would be under such circumstances," Xia Shenji sighed.
The Mist Ancestor looked at him. "I didn't expect it either."
Xia Shenji laughed. "Why are you helping him?"
The Mist Ancestor glanced at Lu Yin. "That brat?"
"He's Lu Xiaoxuan, the successor of the Lu family. He's a great enemy of the Four Cardinal Scales that must be eliminated. If you help him, you'll be making an enemy out of me, Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and even Long Er, who once worshipped you and wanted to follow you," Xia Shenji said.
The Mist Ancestor sneered. "When did the Lu family become the Fifth Mainland's enemy?
I don't understand either. If you all join hands and banish the Lu family, who will resist the Everlasting Tribe?
Have you forgotten who was the one who stood in the darkness and blocked the most terrifying monster?
Back then, Senior Lu Tianyi and I were both deified, but I couldn't tell that you all had thoughts of overthrowing the Lu family. "
Xia Shenji shook his head. "The Lu family has controlled the Fifth Mainland for too many years. They're high and mighty, and they think that the Fifth Mainland belongs to them. Lu Tianyi is unbridled in his deification, but has he ever asked for our opinion?"
"Deification doesn't affect us at all, and it won't restrict us. Xia Shang, Old Fu, and Huiwen haven't been deified. They're just borrowing power from the Lu family."
"But once we become deified, we'll forever be under Lu Tianyi. Who can resist him?"
"Why resist him?
Without Senior Lu Tianyi, who can resist the Everlasting Tribe? "
"Isn't everything fine now?
The Everlasting Tribe is blocked outside the Mother Tree. "
