Wang Fan's eyes narrowed. Another person had appeared in Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Were Xia Shang, Huiwen, and the others still alive?
Xia Shenji's eyes were filled with killing intent. If not for this woman, he would have already killed Lu Xiaoxuan. What would her attitude be now?
If she still wanted to protect Lu Xiaoxuan, then a huge battle would be unavoidable.
He was already considering how to banish this woman, just like the Lu family.
Each of them had their own thoughts and plans. However, none of them had expected that the Fog Ancestor would attack without saying anything after appearing. His target was Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan instinctively blocked the Mist Ancestor's attack and berated, "Xiwei, are you crazy?
Why are you attacking me? "
The other three ancestors were equally confused. Even if the Mist Ancestor wanted to attack, he should have attacked Xia Shenji. Why would he attack Bai Wangyuan?
The Mist Ancestor stared at Bai Wangyuan and suppressed his anger. "What's going on with the astral origin liquid?
Explain it to me. "
Bai Wangyuan frowned. "Are you attacking me because of the astral origin liquid?
That has nothing to do with you. Even in our era, Lu Tianyi was in charge of who used the astral origin liquid. "
The Mist Ancestor barked, "It has nothing to do with me. I only know that the astral origin liquid is related to the mother tree. If the mother tree becomes unstable after absorbing too much astral origin liquid, who will bear the responsibility?
I've been with Lu Yin for some time now, and I understand this region well. Not only did you selfishly banish the Lu family, but you even wanted to steal the astral origin liquid. Without the Lu family, you can rely on Huiwen's sourcebox array and the mother tree to stop the Everlasting Tribe. Once the mother tree becomes unstable, what will you use to stop the Everlasting Tribe?
Do you really want to cause the extinction of humanity? "
"Xiwei, you're exaggerating," Wang Fan said.
The Mist Ancestor snorted and stared at Wang Fan. "All four scales have a share of the astral origin liquid. If you don't give me an explanation, don't think that you'll have an easy time."
"We were the ones who let you out. I told you that you would repay kindness with enmity. We shouldn't have let you out." Xia Shenji was unhappy.
Bai Chi said, "No matter what, it's always good to have another Progenitor. Xiwei, if you want to consider the bigger picture, then don't go against us. That won't be good for humanity."
"Senior?"
The Dragon Ancestor called out.
The Fog Ancestor turned around and glanced at the Dragon Ancestor. "If I had known that helping you become an Ancestral Patriarch would cause the Lu Clan to be exiled, I wouldn't have helped you, you greedy, ungrateful wretch."
The Dragon Ancestor sighed. "Senior, there are some things that I'm forced to do."
In truth, he was of the same generation as the Mist Ancestor, Bai Wangyuan, and the others. However, because of his limited talent, he had been unable to reach the Patriarch Realm. It was all thanks to the Mist Ancestor's inheritance of the Mountains and Seas, and the Mountain and Sea Battle Techniques that he had been able to break through that bottleneck. Otherwise, he would have long since turned to dust. That was why he treated Bai Wangyuan and the others as equals. However, in front of the Mist Ancestor, he had to respectfully refer to him as' senior '.
"What's your purpose in letting me out?
If it was the Lu family that let me out, I believe that they would consider the interests of the human race, but you … Hmph! "The Fog Ancestor looked down on these people.
Wang Fan's expression was solemn. "Xiwei, I don't care what you think of us in the past or in the present, but our standpoints are different now. Back then, the Lu family was supporting us, and everyone had their own thoughts. But now, we are the ones supporting them. As long as we don't want the human race to go extinct, we need to unite against the Eternals.
The Fog Ancestor blinked. "That's right. You're right." She paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. It was a mocking laugh.
Xia Shenji's expression turned ugly. "What are you laughing at?
Is that so? "
The Fog Ancestor laughed so hard that she could barely breathe. "Don't you think that you're being ridiculous?
You worked so hard to exile the Lu family. Yes, you became the Four Cardinal Scales and controlled this region of space, but what's the point of that?
You can't even reach the Sovereign Realm, but a puny Lu Yin with three Origin Tribulations can reach the Divine Martial Plane. If the Lu family was still around, then even I would have a hard time reaching the Divine Martial Plane, let alone a kid with three Origin Tribulations.
Hahahaha! "
These words made Xia Shenji, Wang Fan, and the others' expressions turn ugly. Although these words were harsh, they were the truth.
If the Lu family had been exiled, then they would have to replace them. To the entire human race, the Four Cardinal Scales had replaced the Lu family. However, this didn't benefit them, and they couldn't even leave the Sovereign Realm. The Sovereign Realm was like a cage for them.
"If this was in the past, then why would you let me out?
It's already good enough that you didn't hide the mirror to death. Now, hahahaha, you're actually forcing me to come out? How laughable! Hahahaha! "The Fog Ancestor laughed.
"Enough, Xiwei. We didn't let you out to laugh. In any case, you'll have to stay in the Sovereign Realm and deal with the Eternals in the future," Bai Wangyuan said coldly.
"Senior, what's done is done. We can only look forward. In any case, it's my honor to be able to fight alongside senior," the Dragon Ancestor said.
The Fog Ancestor sighed. "Alright, no matter what, you're the ones who let me out. I owe you a favor, and I'll stay in the Sovereign Realm. However, you must give me an explanation about the Astral Liquid."
"I won't take any more Astral Liquid," Wang Fan said.
The Fog Ancestor looked at him, then at Xia Shenji, then at Bai Wangyuan, and finally at the Dragon Ancestor. "Hmph, I hope so."
At this moment, Wang Fan received a report from the Wang family. "The New Sky Corridor will be repaired in at most a month. We need to find someone to oversee it. Otherwise, the corridor will be destroyed and we won't be able to connect."
"I'll go." Xia Shenji's expression was gloomy.
Bai Wangyuan's gaze was cold. "Lu Xiaoxuan was able to come here from the Abandoned Lands.
The situation in the Abandoned Lands might not be good for the expeditionary army. You need to be careful. "
Xia Shenji said, "I have a clone that entered the Abandoned Lands, but I lost contact with it. Don't worry, as long as the New Sky Corridor is reconnected, I'll definitely be able to contact it. Then, I'll immediately know the situation in the Abandoned Lands."
"You still want to deal with Lu Yin?"
The Fog Ancestor asked.
Xia Shenji stared at her. "You still want to help him?
You've already repaid your debt to the Lu family. What we do now has nothing to do with you. Just stay in the Sovereigns Realm. "
"Xiwei, we didn't ask you about the Abandoned Lands because we didn't want to make things difficult for you. We hope that you won't stop us from dealing with the remnants of the Lu family. The Lu family is irresponsible to the entire human race. I'll tell you clearly that when that brat was exposed at Dragon Mountain, it was the Seven Skygods that helped him escape. This time, it was the Seven Skygods that helped us stay in the Sovereigns Realm. Otherwise, that brat wouldn't have been able to escape."
"That brat is either Redback or a pawn that the Eternals are using to destroy the human race."
The Fog Ancestor had a complicated expression. "He's not Redback. I'm sure of it."
"Then he's a pawn of the Eternals. With him around, the remaining members of the Lu family and the families that support them will cause chaos in the universe," Wang Fan said.
The Fog Ancestor sighed. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Was it really that easy to kill Lu Yin?
That brat could borrow Xia Shang's strength from the Fifth Mainland, and even if they entered the Fifth Mainland, they might not be able to do anything to him. Moreover, that brat had countless strange items, and she didn't even know how many he had. He even had methods that could use resources to upgrade these items. It was simply unimaginable.
She didn't say any of this.
Bai Wangyuan and the others didn't ask because they were certain that she wouldn't say anything. That was indeed the case. Since she wouldn't say anything, they would just let these people run into a wall.
From what she understood, since that brat dared to cause trouble in the Cosmic Tree Realm, he had already made preparations to fall out with them. The entire Fifth Mainland was his backing, and with the help of others in the Cosmic Tree Realm, the Four Scales might not be able to do anything to him.
"I have something to say." The Fog Ancestor looked up at the four. "Humans are not allowed to fight amongst themselves. I'll fight whoever starts it." With that, she left.
Her last sentence caused Bai Wangyuan and the others' expressions to darken. It wasn't because of the Fog Ancestor's attitude, but because she had actually said 'fight'. Her meaning was clear: Lu Xiaoxuan had the strength to fight against the Four Scales. This was equivalent to confirming the failure of the expeditionary army and Lu Xiaoxuan's status in the Abandoned Lands.
"Brother Xia, the moment the New Void Corridor is repaired, immediately head to the Abandoned Lands and kill Lu Xiaoxuan. If anything happens, act immediately. I don't want to give him any time to react," Bai Wangyuan said.
Xia Shenji replied, "I know, but he might not have a chance. My clone brought the Hellwyrm into the Abandoned Lands. Do you think he has the ability to escape?"
He was very confident. Although that clone was weak in the Progenitor realm, it had the power of time. If it really wanted to kill someone, even a Progenitor might not be able to save that person, as long as that person couldn't break through the power of time.
The power of time wasn't something that could be found anywhere. Not everyone had it.
"No matter what, we have to go in immediately. Even if Lu Xiaoxuan dies, we have to find his corpse," Wang Fan said with a cold expression.
On the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin also received news from the Technocracy that the New Void Corridor was about to be repaired in about a month.
He walked out of the Celestial Emperor Palace and looked at the Hellwyrm, who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws to scare the beasts around him.
"Sovereign, Sovereign," Lu Yin called out.
The two stepped forward. "Daozi."
"The Astral Beast Army must be formed within half a month, and we can head straight for the Above the Sky Sect. We can't be late for even a day. Bring a large number of Void Wanderers there and equip the army," Lu Yin said.
"We understand."
The Sovereign left and personally urged the Astral Beast Army to be formed. Lu Yin also contacted Lu Buzheng and the others and ordered the Above Sky Sect to prepare for war. All of the armies were to be organized, and cultivators were not allowed to go into seclusion. They were to be on standby at any time, including the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland. He wanted to gather all of the Fifth Mainland's power and face the Four Scales.
In the Innerverse, Wen Zizai received news that the Above Sky Sect was preparing for war and immediately contacted Shan Shen, Liu Qianjue, Spirit Taizu, and the others. "The Above Sky Sect is preparing for war? Who is their target?
Hasn't the Astral Beast Domain already been conquered by the Daozi? "
"We don't know who the target is, but the order to prepare for war came from the Daozi. All of the sects and organizations must go all out to participate. From the looks of it, it won't be any worse than when we faced the Sixth Mainland's invasion."
"There's going to be another war. It shouldn't be the Eternals, or else the Above Sky Sect would have spread the news."
"Prepare for war."
