Lu Yin stomped his foot down. "Shut up."
Prison Flood Dragon felt wronged.
"Brother Lu, this mount of yours is pretty good," Chujian praised.
Lu Yin casually replied, "Is that so? I don't think there's anything good about it, silly."
Chu Jian looked at Caged Flood Dragon and sized him up. "Brother Lu, the date of Master's tea party is getting closer and closer. Brother Lu should be going, right?"
Lu Yin replied, "If I don't die in the Endless Battlefield, then I should go."
Chu Jian said, "I believe that Brother Lu won't die so easily. With Brother Lu's abilities, even if you're caught in a battle between extremely strong cultivators, you'll still be able to escape unscathed. I'm looking forward to Brother Lu's arrival. Oh right, bring it with you. Master will like it."
Chu Jian wasn't the only one who had said this. Yuan Sheng had also asked Lu Yin to give the Caged Wyrm as a gift to the Great Heavenly Venerate.
Lu Yin smiled, "Sure, see you at the tea party."
Chu Jian nodded. "Let's meet again. I hope Brother Lu can enter the Endless Battlefield within three days. Don't make things difficult for me."
"That's right, Master has another order. Half of the Primordial Space's experts are to help defend against the Six Direction Society. The Four Way Scales has already sent out their men. What about Brother Lu?"
Lu Yin asked, "While I'm in the Boundless Battlefield and the Primordial Space is assisting the Six-Party Association, nothing will happen to the Above Heaven Sect, right?"
Chu Jian smiled, "Brother Lu, you don't have to worry about that. Master has personally given the order that no one is allowed to enter the Primordial Space without permission. Thus, the Above Heaven Sect will not be threatened by anyone from the Six Directions Sect, but that does not include the Primordial Space itself."
Lu Yin hesitated.
"Let's count it as a mount!"
Chujian said, "But this mount is going to attend Master's tea party. So, whether or not it can assist in defense can wait until after the tea party. There is still one more person. Brother Lu, you can decide for yourself."
With that, Chujian left.
Lu Yin looked at the empty space, as the Fifth Mainland's crisis had been resolved.
Once the passageway was opened, Divine Sovereign Shaoyin could not turn the Origin Space into the Boundless Battlefield. Because of this conflict, Luo Shan and he had been punished to enter the Boundless Battlefield. This showed the Great Empyrean's determination.
Would there be people from the Six Directions who would target the Above Heaven Sect?
It wasn't that easy to scheme against the Four Way Scales.
Half of them would defend against the Six Directions Sect, leaving behind three or four Ancestor Realm experts at most. Even if they asked Grandpa Chan to defend against the Six Directions Sect, there would still be Senior Martial Brother Mu Xie, Prison Flood Dragon, Master Shan, and Liu Yun. Ancestor Fog's attitude was unclear, but this could really form a balance.
Moreover, with his and Luo Shan's prior example, the Four Way Scales did not dare to start a war without permission.
In the end, the decisive battle did not happen.
But sooner or later, it would begin.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This person was even more hateful than that old dog, Yuan Sheng.
If he entered the Endless Battlefield, it should not be a problem for him to protect himself. The Eternals had no intention of killing him. However, the identity of Xuan Qi was a little troublesome. If things did not work out, he would have to go into seclusion for a long period of time.
While he was thinking about this, Bai Wangyuan and the others appeared at the other end of the tunnel. They walked out through the tunnel.
They all looked at Lu Yin, and he looked back at them. Neither of them said a word.
At this time, Mu Xie, Nong Yi, and the Fog Ancestor arrived.
Xia Shenji's cold gaze swept over Nong Yi, "Prepare to defend against the Six Paths Association."
Nong Yi was dumbfounded, "What do you mean by assisting the Six Directions Association?"
Ancestor Gui Yuan explained the matter, and Nong Yi immediately exploded, refusing to go.
However, when faced with the threat of Bai Wangyuan and the others, Nong Yi wanted to ask Lu Yin for help, but Lu Yin could not help him. Half of the Four Way Scales' Progenitors had gone, and Lu Yin also needed to send out people. If Nong Yi did not go, then Mu Xie would go.
They could not force the Four Way Scales to send out more people, just like how the Four Way Scales could not force Lu Yin's side to send more people.
"Where's Long Er?" The Fog Ancestor asked.
Bai Wangyuan and the others had ugly expressions.
"He's dead."
The Fog Ancestor was shocked, and so were Mu Xie and Nong Yi. "The Dragon Ancestor is dead?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists. Sure enough, that other pupil belonged to the Dragon Ancestor, and a Progenitor had actually died.
This was war, so what if he was a Progenitor?
"How did he die?"
The Fog Ancestor asked, her gaze sorrowful. Although she was dissatisfied with the Dragon Ancestor joining the Four Way Scales to deal with the Lu Family, the Dragon Ancestor had always been respectful to her. She could not accept the sudden news of his death.
Bai Wangyuan recounted the matter.
Everyone listened quietly, feeling the cruelty of war.
The Fog Ancestor gritted her teeth, "Chen-kong."
Mu Xie sighed, "Even a Progenitor can die. No one can truly cultivate to the point of invincibility, not even a Primogenitor. Junior Brother, you must be careful in the Endless Battlefield."
Lu Yin nodded, "I know, Senior Brother."
"There are two more candidates to help defend against the Six Direction Association, but they have nothing to do with the Four Way Scales. You can decide for yourselves." Xia Shenji said coldly.
"I'll go." The Fog Ancestor suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked at her in astonishment, as no one had expected her to go.
"Xiwei," Bai Wangyuan could not help but speak up. They had hoped that Lu Yin's side would come up with these two candidates. Mu Xie, Elder Chan, or even Caged Flood Dragon would be fine.
The Fog Ancestor was exhausted, "I've had enough of your scheming. You have the Everlasting Race as your enemy, but you nearly caused a battle between more than ten Progenitors. Even Long Er died. I plan to help defend against the Six Direction Association. It's better than watching you hand over the Primordial Space to the Everlasting Race." With that, she left without another word.
Ever since the Fog Ancestor had come out, although she would occasionally help Lu Yin, she was absolutely neutral in most situations.
Whether the Four Way Scales schemed against Lu Yin or Lu Yin schemed against the Four Way Scales, she did not interfere.
She was also indifferent to this battle.
Just as she had said, she had had enough of this situation, and she wanted to fight purely against the Everlasting Race.
The Dragon Ancestor's death might have been a catalyst, as she wanted to avenge him. No matter what kind of person the Dragon Ancestor was, he had been very respectful to her. She had to bear this grudge.
"Hmph, let her be. There's still one more spot. Lu Xiaoxuan, it's still yours," Xia Shenji said coldly.
Lu Yin looked over. "You can all scram now."
Xia Shenji's gaze was icy. "What did you say?
You don't plan on sending anyone? "
Lu Yin frowned. "When did you become the Grand Empyrean's lackey? This is the Grand Empyrean's order. Whether I carry it out or not is none of your business."
"You!" Xia Shenji was furious.
Bai Wangyuan looked deeply at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, if you attract the attention of the Grand Empyrean, your fate will not be good. You are from the Lu family, and the Lu family was exiled at the behest of the Grand Empyrean. In the Grand Empyrean's eyes, you should be exiled as well."
Lu Yin looked at him. "I told you to scram."
"You really don't plan on sending anyone?" Wang Fan could not help but ask.
Lu Yin sneered and did not even look at them. He asked Mu Xie to oversee Shenwu Continent while he returned to the Above the Sect.
When he saw this, Xia Shenji could not help but want to intervene.
However, Wang Fan was confused. "Mu Xie is still guarding Shenwu Continent? What happened before?"
Bai Wangyuan's eyes twitched. "It's fake. Him joining Luo Shan was fake. Mu Xie and Nong Yi's falling out with him was also fake. He really is plotting something."
"This kid is truly sinister." Xia Shenji gritted his teeth.
"What if the Above the Sect really doesn't send anyone?" Wang Fan asked.
Bai Wangyuan felt a headache coming on. They could not force Lu Yin to send anyone, and if Lu Yin really did not plan on sending anyone, then it would be troublesome. Would they have to send someone else?
"If this kid is willing to go to the Endless Battlefield to accept his punishment, then he should comply with the Grand Empyrean's orders and send someone," Wang Fan said.
Bai Wangyuan was vexed. Logically speaking, that should be the case. However, if this kid really did not send anyone and attracted the attention of the Grand Empyrean, then he would be punished. They did not dare to take that risk.
Lu Yin did not need to send anyone. First Meeting had already said that Caged Drake was one, and he could help defend after the tea party. The Fog Ancestor was another. Now that the matter had been resolved, Lu Yin only needed to head to the Endless Battlefield within three days.
However, he did not plan on telling the Four Way Scales, and he would let them guess. If they were afraid, then it would be better to have one more person.
In the end, they would be helping defend against the Six Way Society, and it was not a bad thing. One less Progenitor would mean one less danger for the Above the Sect.
He had originally planned on asking Elder Chan to help defend the Endless Battlefield, but with the Fog Ancestor going, the Above the Sect would have one less person. Lu Yin was no longer afraid of the Four Way Scales. Even if he left, the Above the Sect's remaining Progenitors could still deal with the Four Way Scales.
In that case, how should he deal with this Other Pupil?
It was useless for Lu Yin to keep it. This was the Dragon Ancestor's item, and he had thrown it out even before his death. It could only be found in the White Dragon Tribe.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin looked into the distance. It was time for him to make a trip to the White Dragon Tribe.
Long Xi had used her essence blood to increase his cultivation, and he had also locked her up for so many years. He had to return this favor.
Three days was more than enough time.
Several years had passed since the Eternals had completely retreated from the Cosmic Trees, and the region had developed rapidly.
Lu Yin's domain swept through the area, and he saw that the number of cultivators had clearly increased. There were also more smiles on their faces than before.
However, this was only on the surface. The longer the Eternals retreated, the more internal conflicts there would be. There would be no less disputes and killings than before.
It was already very difficult for the Fifth Mainland's people to come to the Cosmic Trees. Ever since the Time Poison, it had become increasingly difficult to come here, unless one side completely conquered the other.
Lu Yin did not hide the fact that he had come to the Cosmic Trees.
He had appeared in the valley below the Wang Family's mainland, which was the place the Fifth Mainland had to pass through to reach the Cosmic Trees.
He rode on the Hellwyrm, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws as his roar spread far and wide.
The cultivators of the Cosmic Trees stared blankly at him, and then many of them grew excited. "It's Lu Yin! The Lu Yin who helped us defeat the Eternals!"
"Daolord Lu! Daolord Lu!"
"Greetings, Daolord Lu!"
"Greetings, Daolord Lu!"
"Daolord Lu is invincible!"
…
Lu Yin had not expected himself to be so popular in the Cosmic Trees. Some achievements could not be erased by the Four Way Scales, even if they were his enemies.
The Eternals had indeed been defeated because of his leadership, and they had paid a heavy price for it. These people were not stupid, and they would not listen to the Four Way Scales.
However, most of the cultivators here were from the Four Way Scales, and while they looked at Lu Yin with admiration, there was also hostility.
Lu Yin stood on the Hellwyrm's back and scanned the crowd. "I'm back."
Even more enthusiastic cheers rang out, but a stern shout caused everyone to hurriedly stop.
"Daolord Lu, this is the Cosmic Trees. What business do you have here?"
It was Wang Zheng. He was the Wang Family's patriarch, and this was under the Wang Family's mainland. The Four Way Scales had almost fought a decisive battle with Lu Yin, so how could they allow Lu Yin to speak in such a manner?
Lu Yin raised his head and looked at the Wang Family's mainland. His spiritual force erupted and swept out.
