Wang Wen looked around and exclaimed, "Where's the grassland?
Where is this place? "
The woman replied, "It was like this when I came. What's wrong with you?"
Wang Wen scratched his head, "Did something happen to my brain?
It was still grassland when I slept last night. "He then looked at the woman," Who are you? "
The woman smiled, "I'm lost. Can you come with me?"
"No," Wang Wen replied decisively.
The woman was confused, "Why?"
"Tired."
"Didn't you just sleep?"
"I overslept, so I'm even more tired."
The woman was speechless, "Then I'll wait for you. I'm lost and don't know where this is. I don't dare to walk alone."
Wang Wen looked at her for a while and hesitated before saying shyly, "Why don't you squeeze in since the coffin is very big?"
The woman was delighted, "Can I?
Actually, I'm quite scared too. "
"Then forget it, I won't force you," Wang Wen replied.
The woman panicked, "I said I was scared outside, not inside the coffin."
Wang Wen said, "You should have said so earlier. I thought you were scared that I was a bad person."
"Of course you're not a bad person. You look like a good person."
"But you look like a bad person to me."
The woman was confused.
Wang Wen looked at her and laughed, "I'm just joking. Why are you so serious? Hahahaha."
The woman laughed dryly, "Then can I go in?"
"Of course, come in," Wang Wen invited.
The woman was happy and her eyes were filled with killing intent. You've wasted so much time talking. I'll kill you when I get in.
"How do I open it?"
"Open it yourself."
"I won't."
"Sister, have you ever seen a coffin open from the inside?"
The woman was stunned for a while. His words made sense, and she realized that he was messing with her.
She gritted her teeth and her face turned pale, "If I could open it from the outside, I would've done it long ago."
Wang Wen pursed his lips, "Opening it from the inside is called haunting."
"Open it!" The woman couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
Wang Wen was shocked, "Why are you angry?
Weren't we having a good chat? "
"I'm warning you, open it or I'll make sure you don't even have a corpse." The woman stopped pretending and pointed her knife at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen simply hugged his head and curled up. "Sister, calm down. You must calm down."
The woman raised her blade and slashed down. Suddenly, a hoe appeared behind her and smashed down. The woman's expression changed. She turned around, and her blade collided with the hoe. With a bang, her body was sent flying and heavily smashed into the ground. Her blade flew out of her hand and landed far away. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at her original spot. "Nong Lie?"
The person who appeared beside the coffin was none other than Nong Lie. This was the area of the seed garden.
Wang Wen raised his head and was pleasantly surprised to see Nong Lie. "You're from the Nong family?"
Nong Lie looked at Wang Wen speechlessly, "Don't tell me you're working for Lu Yin."
Wang Wen was delighted, and he very naturally opened the coffin before putting it away. He then smiled at Nong Lie and said, "Above Sky Sect's Wang Wen, nice to meet you."
Nong Lie was puzzled. "How did you get here alive?"
This was also the woman's question. After this person had been sent from the Top Realm to the Middle Realm by the Wang Clan, he had directly gone to the Liu Clan. It was also because of this that the people behind her had determined that this person might be a member of the Fifth Mainland's Heavenly Sect, and had sent her to hunt him down. However, this was only a guess, which was why they had sent her.
They were certain that this person was an Emissary.
The woman watched as Wang Wen opened the coffin and coughed up blood in anger. This guy had been toying with her from the very beginning.
Nong Lie sized up Wang Wen and then looked at the woman. "I know who ordered you to kill him. Go back and tell your master that he won't have a chance after coming to my seed garden. Scram."
The woman glared at Wang Wen and then limped away.
Wang Wen shouted, "Sis, let's sleep in coffins together in the future!"
The woman coughed up blood again and glared at Wang Wen. She then left without another word.
Nong Lie felt even stranger. Was this guy crazy?
Not long after, Wang Wen was brought to the seed garden, where he met the Nong family's head, Nong Ya.
The Cosmic Tree was already used to the Nong family's style, and they would often discuss matters in the fields. This was Wang Wen's first time meeting them, but he was not surprised. He took off his shoes and rushed into the fields, causing Nong Lie to roll his eyes. "Bro, we have shoes to change into."
Wang Wen waved a hand. "No need. This is more comfortable."
Nong Lie watched as Wang Wen walked barefoot towards Nong Ya, and the suspicion in his eyes lessened. This person was not bad.
"You want the Nong family to be your agent?
That's going to offend the Four Sides of the Scale. "In the fields, Nong Ya hugged his hoe and glanced at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen smiled. "How can I earn money without offending anyone?"
…
Wang Wen stayed at the Nong family for a few days, talking to Nong Ya every day. On the fourth day, Bai Qi came to the seed garden.
Nong Ya met with Bai Qi alone.
"Ask that person to come out. I know he's one of Lu Xiaoxuan's men. He wants the Nong family to be the Fifth Mainland's agent in the fight for resources," Bai Qi said directly.
Nong Ya said, "Since he's here, he's a guest. If he's not willing, I'm sorry, but I can't let you see him."
Bai Qi and Nong Ya looked at each other. "Lu Xiaoxuan's representative in the Cosmic Tree doesn't even dare to meet me?"
Nong Ya didn't know how to answer, so Nong Lie came and whispered in his ear, "He doesn't dare to meet you."
Nong Ya was speechless. That was too cowardly. He looked at Bai Qi helplessly. "I'm sorry, Senior, but he doesn't want to come out."
Bai Qi frowned. Ever since she came into contact with the people of the Fifth Mainland, she felt that nothing was going well. Now, this person in the Nong family didn't even want to meet her. These people made her feel strange.
"Nong family leader, I don't know what the Nong family plans to do, but in any case, the Cosmic Tree should unite against the Fifth Mainland and not be instigated," Bai Qi said.
Nong Ya looked at Bai Qi. "Yes, we should unite. Then, what about the New Void Corridor?"
Bai Qi looked at him.
Nong Ya continued, "The New Void Corridor almost blocks the people of the Nong family, including the Mountain Sea Inheritance of the Fifth Mainland. The Half-Ancestors of the Nong family can't go there either. Is this what you mean by 'unite'?"
Bai Qi said, "I'll report this to the Ancestor."
"Then we'll talk about it after you're done," Nong Ya said and was about to send her off.
Bai Qi stared at Nong Ya and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. The Nong family wasn't Yi Xian Academy, and they couldn't be threatened. Otherwise, this family that was close to the Lu family would have ceased to exist long ago.
It wasn't just the Nong family; there was also the Liu family and the Ghost Abyss. If possible, the Four Way Scales would have destroyed them long ago, but they had always been fine because they had Progenitors. Without them, the Cosmic Tree would be unstable.
Now, the Fifth Mainland wanted to use a representative to split the Cosmic Tree in half, and everyone could see that.
But that wasn't the main point.
It wasn't the representative, but rather the attitude of the Nong family. If the Nong family was willing to become the representative, it meant that they were leaning towards the Fifth Mainland, and the situation would become serious.
Lu Xiaoxuan wasn't in the Cosmic Tree, but he was still thinking of ways to influence it.
"Nong family leader, you should have heard of my father's temper. Sometimes, he would rather die than live in dishonor. Some people are blinded by hatred, and we can't gamble with all of humanity." Bai Qi left, leaving behind her final words.
This wasn't a threat to the Nong family, but rather to Lu Yin and the entire Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin wanted to rope in the Nong family and the Liu family to isolate the Four Way Scales, but it didn't matter if he could do it or not. Even if he could, what impact would it have on the Four Way Scales?
Just as Bai Qi had said, it was better to die in dishonor than live in dishonor. Even if Lu Yin had more Progenitors, would they be able to defeat the Four Way Scales?
So what if they could defeat the Four Way Scales?
Who would resist the Eternals?
The Lu family had been exiled, and it seemed like the Four Way Scales had won, but all of the Four Way Scales' ancestors were stuck in the Sovereign Realm and the Outer Realm, including the Nong family and the Liu family's ancestors. If the Four Way Scales were defeated, how could the remaining people defend the Cosmic Tree?
Bai Qi's meaning was simple; if the Nong family and the Liu family sided with Lu Yin, then humanity would be in danger. Everyone could see Lu Yin's hatred for the Four Way Scales, and what they needed now was balance.
Nong Ya pondered this, but he was actually leaning towards Lu Yin. After all, the Nong family had once sided with the Lu family. Now, they had to carefully consider this matter.
Bai Qi wasn't good at negotiations, and she had only spoken the truth. However, sometimes, the truth was more intimidating than anything else, and this was something that Wang Wen had not expected.
Wang Wen had heard the conversation between Bai Qi and Nong Ya, and the last sentence made him regret not coming out.
Now that Bai Qi had left, Wang Wen saw that Nong Ya's gaze towards him had changed.
He sighed, as he had failed. When he thought of this, he rubbed his face. "I heard that the Four Way Scales wants to monitor all of the pond civilizations?"
…
Yun Tingting had been here for almost a year now, beneath a ladder far away from the Seed Garden.
Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan had reached an agreement, and she had been released. The Smoke Cloud Sect was the gatekeeper of the Four Way Scales in the Middle Realm, and Bai Wangyuan had not made things difficult for her. Instead, he had sent someone to send her to the Smoke Cloud Sect.
After returning to the Smoke Cloud Sect, many things had changed.
She had once been the high and mighty princess of the Smoke Cloud Sect, and her father, Yun Mubai, had been the sect master. No one had dared to provoke her. Now, Yun Mubai had been exposed as a redback and had been captured by a humble family decades ago. No one knew if he was alive or dead, and the entire Smoke Cloud Sect looked at her strangely. After all, she had been captured by Lu Yin for decades, and there were rumors everywhere.
The current sect master of the Smoke Cloud Sect was Yun Wang. Although he doted on her as usual, he no longer had the same feelings as before. Reality was changing, and she didn't know where she should go. She might as well stay under the ladder and be a little busy.
"Cousin, you haven't given an answer about the sect's suggestion," Yun Yang said to Yun Tingting.
Yun Tingting didn't even look at him. "I won't go to the Fifth Mainland."
"That's the Fifth Pagoda. I heard that the inheritance there is quite powerful," Yun Yang urged.
Yun Tingting looked at him. "I heard that you've interacted with Lu Yin under the alias Long Seven?"
Yun Yang felt awkward when this was brought up. He had been unlucky every time he had interacted with Long Seven. "Why are you bringing this up?"
"I'm just reminding you that no one can take advantage of him," Yun Tingting said.
"That's why they thought of you. After all, you've been in the Fifth Mainland for so many years, so you should be more familiar with it."
Yun Tingting frowned. "They?"
