On the other side, Xia Shenji had returned to the Sovereign Realm, and just like Wang Fan and the Dragon Ancestor, he was against letting Lu Yin go. However, Bai Wangyuan was determined, and they could not stop him.
The more they tried to stop him, the more Bai Wangyuan felt like they were taking pleasure in his misfortune.
They could get rid of both Lu Xiaoxuan and Bai Xianer, which was a perfect ending for them. However, this ending would only cause the Frozen Immortal Sect to suffer a huge loss. The more Bai Wangyuan thought about it, the more insistent he became.
Exiling the Lu family would allow the other three families to achieve their goals, but the Frozen Immortal Sect's future would be sacrificed.
This was not something Bai Wangyuan could accept.
In the end, Bai Wangyuan managed to convince Xia Shenji and the other two families to agree. There was no other way, and they had no other choice. Mu Xie and Bai Wangyuan were enough to stop the three families, and with the Mist Ancestor and Lu Xiaoxuan, it was impossible for them to go to the Fifth Mainland to kill Lu Xiaoxuan.
As for the Outer Realms, there was no need to even mention the Lu family, the Liu family, or Gui Yuan. It was already good enough that they did not help Lu Xiaoxuan, so why would they help them?
The result was predestined.
Under Mu Xie's surveillance, Xia Shenji remained in the Sovereign Realm while Bai Wangyuan headed to the Fifth Mainland alone to negotiate with Lu Yin.
The Dragon Ancestor sighed. "Lu Xiaoxuan faced the Progenitor's murderous intent twice and forced him to retreat. He even prevented the third attack from being released. Lu Xiaoxuan can be considered the first person in history to do so. Even Xia Shang was far from being able to do so. If not for the Lu family's protection, he would have died at your hands."
Xia Shenji's expression turned ugly.
Wang Fan said, "If we don't kill him now, it will be even more difficult in the future. Bai Wangyuan is foolish."
The Mist Ancestor sneered. "Do you think no one knows what you're thinking?
You can't wait for Bai Xianer to die, right? Old Fu said that you were narrow-minded, but you refused to admit it. Think about the bigger picture of humanity. Lu Xiaoxuan and Bai Xianer might be enemies, but both of them are absolute geniuses. Once they reach the Progenitor realm, the biggest headache won't be you guys, but those monsters.
Even if you get rid of them, who will face those monsters in the future?
Just based on the few of your descendants?
Hmph. "
Xia Shenji coldly glanced at the Mist Ancestor and Mu Xie before turning to Wang Fan.
Wang Fan's eyes flashing, he nodded.
On the fifth continent, Bai Wangyuan walked out of the New Void Corridor. He looked around and frowned. Just as Xia Shenji had said, the Stellar Source Universe in this part of the starry sky had been devoured by the Eternals!
If they could devour the Astral Source Universe of the Abandoned Land, they could also devour the Astral Source Universe of the Tree Starry Sky. However, due to the existence of the Mother Tree, it was not so easy. Perhaps attacking this starry sky was an experiment.
He looked in a certain direction and found Lu Xiaoxuan. With that thought in mind, he lifted his foot and vanished.
In the Neoverse, outside of Anshui Planet, Lu Yin stood in space and waited quietly.
This was where the Eternal Kingdom used to be. He chose to negotiate with Bai Wangyuan in the Eternal Kingdom.
Bai Wangyuan quickly appeared and was very close to Lu Yin.
Not counting his lost memories, this was the first time he had seen Bai Wangyuan.
Compared to Xia Shenji, Bai Wangyuan was more domineering. How should he put it?
Faintly discernible, yes, faintly discernible, just like the clouds above the Cold Immortal Sect, elusive and elusive.
He was clearly standing in front of her, but it didn't seem to be there. It was too illusory.
The moment Bai Wangyuan appeared, the Caged Wyrm roared and stared at him warily.
Lu Yin spoke up. "Please stay away from me. You're so close. I suspect that you're about to launch a sneak attack."
Bai Wangyuan retreated a bit and looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "We meet again, Xiaoxuan."
Lu Yin shook his head. "I'm Lu Yin, Ancestor Bai. We've spoken before."
Bai Wangyuan looked at him deeply. "You're referring to Yu Hao?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me and offering such good conditions. If I were really Yu Hao, I would have agreed. Unfortunately, I'm not."
Bai Wangyuan felt that it was a pity. "If only you were really Yu Hao. I would have agreed to any conditions. What a pity."
"It's my honor to be able to make you feel pity, Ancestor Bai," Lu Yin said. He then raised his hand to reveal the foundation of the Eternal Kingdom, which was the large seal. With this seal, he could enter the Eternal Kingdom.
"Please, Ancestor Bai." Lu Yin opened the void of the Eternal Kingdom and entered.
Bai Wangyuan did not hesitate and entered as well.
After entering the Eternal Kingdom, Bai Wangyuan immediately saw the seven shattered towers in the distance. He was shocked. "What's that?"
Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan stood in the sky above the Eternal Kingdom. Below them was an abandoned city that had once been filled with despairing people. Some of them had had their organs dug out, some had gone mad, and some had been turned into food. This was the place where the Eternals had experimented with humans and Corpse Kings.
Below them was the place where the Corpse Kings had been modified. There was an endless amount of death energy there that was not any less than the Kun 'Swamp or the Qi Sect.
This was why Lu Yin had chosen this place.
He had only been able to heavily injure Xia Shenji because of the Death God's strength. If he wanted to make Bai Wangyuan feel apprehensive, he still needed the Death God's strength.
Otherwise, Progenitor Chen's Sirius Chen would not have been able to defeat Bai Wangyuan.
"That's the tower of the Seven Skygods." Bai Wangyuan stared at Lu Yin with a cold gaze.
Lu Yin replied, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't collude with the Seven Skygods. You should be able to tell that we were the ones who destroyed this place. The Seven Skygods had been hiding here before, but we discovered them and destroyed them."
Bai Wangyuan's gaze softened. This was something that could be investigated, so there was no need to hide it. Besides, if Lu Yin had really colluded with the Eternals, then the people from the Fifth Mainland should have known.
Actually, when he had seen the seven towers, his heart had undeniably sunk. He had thought that Lu Yin had really colluded with the Eternals.
He was not worried that Lu Yin had some kind of power to ambush him, but the Eternals were different. If a few of the Seven Skygods ambushed him, then he was not confident that he would be able to return alive.
"Why did you choose this place?"
Bai Wangyuan asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin pointed at the ground. "There's a large amount of death energy here that will allow me to borrow the Death God's strength."
Bai Wangyuan frowned. Xia Shenji's injuries had been caused by the Death God's strength. It was no wonder why Lu Xiaoxuan had been so bold as to negotiate with him alone in the Eternal Kingdom without even bringing the Hellwyrm along.
Bai Wangyuan nodded. "There's no need to threaten me. You can influence Xian 'er, and that's your capital. However, don't think that you can do anything with that. I can promise you that the Four Way Scales will not act against you for the time being, but you must also promise not to affect Xian' er."
"For the time being?"
Lu Yin raised a brow.
Bai Wangyuan looked at Lu Yin. "We won't act against you until you become a Half-Ancestor. That's our bottom line. You wouldn't believe me if I said that I would never act against you."
Lu Yin sneered. "I'm a Half-Ancestor, but Xian 'er has already become an Ancestor. Ancestor Bai, are you toying with me?"
Bai Wangyuan's gaze turned cold. "Becoming an Ancestor is not as easy as you think. Even the youngest Progenitor in history had to spend at least a thousand years to do so. Xian 'er is still so young, and she's not even a Half-Ancestor."
Lu Yin was astonished. "She hasn't become a Half-Ancestor?"
Ancestor Bai replied, "No."
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with shock. He had not forgotten that when the Sea King had broken through the Upper Three Gates, there had been a powerhouse from the Sixth Mainland who had tried to stop him, but he had been easily crushed by Bai Xianer. Lu Yin had the power to fight against four Half-Ancestors, but it had been useless against Bai Xianer. He had thought that Bai Xianer was a Half-Ancestor, and everyone else had thought so as well. It turned out that she wasn't even a Half-Ancestor!
Lu Yin finally understood how others felt when they looked at him; he was simply a monster.
It was no wonder why Bai Wangyuan valued Bai Xianer so much and had even confirmed that she could replace the Lu family in ruling the Fifth Mainland.
Once Bai Xianer became a Half-Ancestor or even an Ancestor, who would be able to stop her?
Had the Wang family and the Xia family not considered this?
Or were they unaware of how terrifying Bai Xianer was?
Of course, Bai Wangyuan could also be lying to him. Bai Xianer was already a Half-Ancestor, and Bai Wangyuan had only said this to reassure him.
"Xian 'er hasn't become a Half-Ancestor, let alone an Ancestor. This amount of time is enough for you to become a Half-Ancestor, and with your cultivation speed, you'll need at most a few decades. This is my condition for you, but you have to tell me how you affected Xian' er," Bai Wangyuan said in a low voice.
Lu Yin was puzzled, but Bai Sheng's question was understandable. He wasn't familiar with Bai Xianer, and he had already said that he didn't interact much with her. Why was Bai Wangyuan asking this?
Had Bai Xianer not told him the reason?
Bai Xianer definitely knew that she had been heavily injured because of him, but why hadn't she told Bai Wangyuan?
Or did she not have the time to tell him?
No matter what the reason was, Lu Yin didn't want to talk about it. "This is between me and Bai Xianer. I won't talk about it."
"You have to." Bai Wangyuan's expression was solemn.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Ancestor Bai, if you wanted to sacrifice Bai Xianer to take me down with you, you wouldn't have come to negotiate. If I don't say anything, no one can force me."
"I call you Ancestor Bai not because I respect you, but because I don't know how to address you. Or should I call you Bai Wangyuan?"
Bai Wangyuan's eyes widened. "Threatening Xian 'er can save your life, but it doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want. If you think that you can do whatever you want just because you threaten Xian' er, I will make you feel pain."
No one on the Fifth Mainland can do anything to me. You can slaughter the entire Fifth Mainland, but I can also make Bai Xianer pay with her life. You killed the remaining members of the Lu family, and I'll kill the expeditionary army. Bai Wangyuan, you can take a gamble. As long as I don't die, I'll definitely become an Ancestor. Let's see if I can make the Four Cardinal Scales feel even more despair, "Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Bai Wangyuan's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Yin. There was no killing intent or Progenitor's aura, but Lu Yin still felt immense pressure.
Unconsciously, Lu Yin took out half of the Goulian. Beneath the ground, an endless amount of deathly energy flowed into the Goulian, shocking Bai Wangyuan.
The Grim Reaper was the strongest powerhouse of the Above Heaven era. Although they were confident, they didn't think that they could surpass him. After all, he was a legendary existence.
He had seen Xia Shenji's miserable state, and even he didn't dare to say that he could completely block the Grim Reaper's attack. Not only could this kid borrow the Grim Reaper's strength, but he could also borrow Xia Shang's Sirius, E 'Chi, and the Hellwyrm.
Bai Wangyuan really couldn't do anything to this kid on the Fifth Mainland.
