Old Ancestor Mo Jiang's eyes burned with passion. There was no mistaking it; this was the Arrow Progenitor's arrow. During the Primordial Era, when the two mainlands had been at war, the Arrow Progenitor had fallen in the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect, and his inheritance had been hidden within the Daosource Sect's ruins. Back then, when Old Ancestor Mo Jiang had attacked the Fifth Mainland, he had shot out many arrows, and this arrow was one of them. As long as he could obtain this arrow, he would be able to find the Arrow Progenitor's inheritance hidden within the Daosource Sect's ruins.
Patriarch Mo Jiang immediately extended his hand to grab Patriarch Arrow Mountain.
Master Yuan moved even faster. He had already sensed that something was wrong with Old Ancestor Mo Jiang, so he stopped him.
"Destroy the Big Muyan District!" Ancestor Mo Jiang shouted.
Yan Cheng's face was pale. He was seriously injured. If the arrow hadn't been slightly off target, he would have been finished. The arrow had hit his heart, but it hadn't hit the most important part of the body.
His heart could be resuscitated, but once that position was damaged, he would be finished.
He originally wanted to retreat, but Old Ancestor Mo Jiang was determined to destroy Damu Cliff District, so he couldn't retreat.
When Forefather Arrow Mountain heard Forefather Mo Jiang's words, his gaze became resolute. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the arrow and nocked his bow once more. This time, his target wasn't Yan Cheng or the other Imprinter, but Forefather Mo Jiang.
Patriarch Mo Jiang sensed Patriarch Arrow Mountain's killing intent. With a flick of his finger, a gust of wind tore through the void and descended. To Patriarch Arrow Mountain, this gust of wind was a heavenly might that he could not resist.
Left with no other choice, he shot out an arrow. The void froze once again as the arrow broke through the wind and continued towards Ancestor Mo Jiang. Master Yuan's figure suddenly appeared in front of the arrow and pointed out with his finger. The arrow changed direction and shot towards the Imprinter who was standing not far from Yan Cheng. The Imprinter did not expect such an unforeseen event and was careless. The arrow pierced through his head and shattered with a bang.
An Imprinter had died, just like that.
For those who weren't that strong, unless they were immortal, they wouldn't be able to survive if their heads were shattered. Imprinters, on the other hand, weren't immortal yet.
Yan Cheng's eyes widened. Seeing a master of the same level as him die, and at such a close distance, he subconsciously grabbed the arrow and disappeared.
Yan Cheng left. The scene of that Imprinter's death had sent a chill down his spine. Even if Patriarch Mo Jiang ordered him to stay, he wouldn't.
As for that arrow, for it to be able to kill an Imprinter, it had to be extraordinary.
Old Ancestor Mo Jiang also left, and no one stopped him.
Everything happened too quickly.
Patriarch Arrow Mountain watched helplessly as the arrow was snatched away. He formed a seal to snatch it back, but it was impossible. The person who snatched the arrow was Yan Cheng, not an ordinary person.
Ancestor Arrow Mountain's body swayed and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, a Tai Mo Hall's disciple reacted quickly and went forward to support him.
It was gone. Even the Ancestor of Arrow Mountain felt an unbearable pain after losing one of the three Legacy Arrows.
Master Yuan descended and said solemnly, "With your archery skills, it's impossible for you to injure Ancestor Mo Jiang. If that arrow had been aimed at Ancestor Mo Jiang, it would have been meaningless."
Ancestor Arrow Mountain replied weakly, "I understand. Thank you for your help, Master Yuan."
Master Yuan nodded. "I'll do my best to help you get that arrow back."
The Ancestor of Arrow Mountain smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There's no need. It would be my fortune to obtain it, but it would be my fate to lose it. It's not worth risking Master Yuan's life for an arrow."
Master Yuan sighed. "No one can escape from this battle, let alone worldly possessions." With that, he vanished.
After Master Yuan left, the Ancestor of Arrow Mountain spat out another mouthful of blood.
At the same time, in the Endless Cliffs, Master Yuan's face was pale as well. He could no longer feel the arrow, and he hurriedly tried to pull it back, but he found that it was useless.
He had a bad feeling about this, and his heart sank. He spat out another mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
In the Technocracy, Yan Cheng returned to the huge technological fortress and immediately received treatment. His injuries were very serious, and the arrow had not only pierced through his body. If not for the fact that the Ancestor of Arrow Mountain's cultivation was unable to fully utilize the arrow's power, he would have died even if the arrow had only scratched his skin.
At that moment, Ancestor Mo Jiang appeared in front of him.
Yan Cheng applied some medicine to his heart and hurriedly bowed.
Ancestor Mo Jiang gently said, "There's no need to bow. You've worked hard in this battle."
Yan Cheng respectfully replied, "If not for Ancestor, I would have been dead. Thank you, Ancestor."
Ancestor Mo Jiang grunted in acknowledgment and had a strange look in his eyes. "How's the arrow?"
Yan Cheng's eyes flashed, and he took out the arrow and handed it to Ancestor Mo Jiang.
Ancestor Mo Jiang caressed the arrow. "It really is the Arrow Progenitor's arrow. Very good, very good. I like it very much."
Yan Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He had known that the arrow was extraordinary, but he had not expected it to be the Arrow Progenitor's arrow.
His wound was affected, and blood flowed down his chest, but Yan Cheng did not mind. Instead, he said, "If not for Senior, I would not have been able to retrieve this arrow. Thank you for your help."
Ancestor Mo Jiang frowned. "This arrow is not bad."
Yan Cheng lowered his head and did not reply.
Ancestor Mo Jiang's tone was cold as he handed the arrow back to Yan Cheng. "Keep it well. You can use this to sense the inheritance that the Arrow Progenitor left behind in the Daosource Sect's ruins. If I can obtain the Arrow Progenitor's inheritance, then my life would not have been in vain."
Yan Cheng accepted the arrow, but he suddenly coughed up blood and could not stand steadily.
A cold glint flashed through Ancestor Mo Jiang's eyes. "Rest well." He then left.
After Ancestor Mo Jiang left, Yan Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Ancestor Mo Jiang had made it very clear that he wanted the arrow, but Yan Cheng had no intention of handing it over to him. He wanted to leave it to the younger generation of the Yan family so that they could search for the Arrow Progenitor's inheritance in the Daosource Sect's ruins.
However, Ancestor Mo Jiang's attitude before he left made Yan Cheng feel a chill. These old fellows were all vicious and merciless, especially Ancestor Mo Jiang. In order to curry favor with the Martial Progenitor, he had willingly led the entire Mo Jiang bloodline to invade the Fifth Mainland's Outerverse. He was someone who would do anything to achieve his goals, and with the strength of the younger generation of the Yan family, it was impossible for them to compete with Mo Jiang's bloodline.
As he thought about it, Yan Cheng immediately sent someone to the Sixth Mainland to inform Elder Autumnfrost that he wanted to give the arrow to him. With the marriage between Xiaojing and Autumnfrost Qing, it would be enough to tie the Yan family to the Autumnfrost family.
It should be known that Elder Autumnfrost was slightly stronger than Ancestor Mo Jiang.
…
Not long after, in outer space, the person that Yan Cheng had sent out looked ahead in fear. "Mo … Ancestor Mo Jiang?"
Ancestor Mo Jiang casually waved his hand, and the Hunter was instantly reduced to dust.
"I was right. You want to give the arrow to the Autumnfrost family? Yan Cheng, I'll let you know the consequences." Ancestor Mo Jiang's tone was icy as he vanished.
A single arrow was clearly not enough to satisfy Yan Cheng. Over the next few days, the Sixth Mainland focused their attacks on the Damuyan District. Yan Cheng repeatedly attacked in an attempt to force Ancestor Arrow Mountain to use that arrow again.
He had thought things through very clearly. If Ancestor Arrow Mountain really did use the arrow, then he would immediately flee and hand it over to Ancestor Mo Jiang. As for whether or not Ancestor Mo Jiang could snatch the arrow away, that would have nothing to do with him.
He hoped that Ancestor Mo Jiang would be able to obtain the arrow. That way, Ancestor Mo Jiang would not be eyeing the arrow in Yan Cheng's hands.
Once the Sixth Mainland launched an all-out attack, it would be extremely terrifying. Almost ten powerhouses with power levels over 200,000 had arrived, and there were even powerhouses with power levels over 300,000 and 400,000. The Damuyan District would not be able to withstand such an attack, and even Ancestor Arrow Mountain, an Envoy, would not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, Wan Qiancheng had arrived in time and killed many of the Sixth Mainland's experts with a single shot. It had also destroyed a large number of the Technocracy's androids, allowing the Damuyan District to catch a breather.
Yan Cheng had never expected that a war fortress like Wan Qiancheng would appear. It was not a technological weapon, but it still contained some technological control.
The Technocracy wanted to influence Wan Qiancheng's control, but they found that they could not.
Wan Qiancheng's war fortress came from ancient times, and it also had a protective barrier. Its power was determined by the amount of star essence it consumed, and at this moment, Wan Qiancheng's protective barrier had already been upgraded to the point where it could resist Envoys, so it was very difficult for technology to affect it.
Half a month passed, and there were not many changes in the Ironblood Cliffs District. His battle merits had already risen to 50,000, and he had traveled to the Ironblood Cliffs District to provide support. Coupled with the number of enemies he had killed during this period, his battle merits were outstanding. It was a pity that he had killed Enlighters at the beginning, which meant that no other Enlighters from the Sixth Mainland dared to cause trouble for him. He had only killed Hunters and Hunter androids.
On this day, the commander came looking for him. "The situation in the Damuyan District is desperate, and we need reinforcements. Alliance Master Lu, I'm sorry, but only you can go."
The monkey was furious. "Seventh Bro, why do they have to look for you for everything?
Those people from the Sixth Mainland are attacking the Damuyan District like crazy. Aren't you just courting death if you go? "
Lu Yin did not want to go, and he hesitated.
Although he had his universal armor, which could withstand more than 300,000 attacks, there had been several fierce battles between Imprinters in the Damuyan District. It was said that even Ancestor Mo Jiang and Master Yuan had fought there. If he went, then he would be courting death. He would not be able to play a decisive role in this battle like he had in the Ironblood Weave's battle. He was destined to be a spectator, and his life was the most important thing.
The commander sighed. "The reinforcements from Wan Qiancheng have alleviated the crisis in the Damuyan District, but have you noticed that the forces attacking our Ironblood Cliffs District are weakening? Those forces should have been transferred to the Damuyan District. Although I don't know why the Sixth Mainland is so determined to take the Damuyan District, we cannot allow it to be breached. As the commander, I cannot leave, and Moonlight Mavis is the only power left to resist the Imprinters. So, you are the only one left."
"Let me think about it," Lu Yin said.
Lu Yin nodded. "In my eyes, you're still a student, so I won't force you. It's already not easy for a student like you to reach your current level. If you really don't want to go, then help me defend the Ironblood Cliffs District. I'll go."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, as he had almost forgotten that this person was an instructor from the Astral Combat Academy.
"Seventh Bro, don't be soft-hearted! Don't go looking for death!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin growled, "I'll go."
The monkey wailed.
Lu Yin's expression was complicated. "No one can escape. Since you've come to this battlefield, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourself."
Lu Yin did not intend to sacrifice himself. If there was no other choice, then he would use his ultimate technique — his master's summoning technique.
In truth, he was very curious about Mister Mu's strength. He had been able to wipe out a strand of Hei Wushen's spiritual force with a wave of his hand. Although that did not mean that he could defeat Hei Wushen, he should be close. Lu Yin also remembered Hei Wushen's shock when he had first seen Mister Mu.
From Lu Yin's perspective, Mister Mu's true strength might not be any weaker than Master Yuan's.
Mister Mu was his true trump card.
