Hai Qiqi's eyes lit up as she looked at Hong Ying. "That's impossible. There are too many experts in the Grayweed Continent. Let's not talk about the seventy-two Arena Masters, but even the Sea King's Dome has sent experts to the Grayweed Continent. You'll definitely lose."
Hong Ying sneered. "More than half of the seventy-two Arena Masters are dead. As for the people from the Sea King's Dome, less than a tenth of them managed to escape to the Grayweed Continent. The Sea King is indeed tricky, but my master has already agreed to help the Tong family. Even if the Tong family's ancestor doesn't act, my master alone can sweep through the entire Grayweed Continent."
Hai Qiqi grew excited. "You just said that the Sea King is tricky?
Is he very powerful? "
Hong Ying's expression turned serious. "He's an extremely powerful expert, but he can't stop my master."
Hai Qiqi relaxed. She had wanted to fish for information from Hong Ying, and now, she had confirmed that the Sea King was on the Grayweed Continent.
Lu Yin also wanted to fish for information. "Since your master has gone, why are you going?
The strength of the younger generation is limited on the battlefield. Even the Realmlings can't deal with a powerhouse with a power level of several hundred thousand suppressed. "
Hong Ying's expression changed. "You're right. Normal young powerhouses are no match for Imprinters, and even Enlighters are troublesome. However, the Realmlings are an exception, and so are the Ten Arbiters from your Fifth Mainland." Then, Hong Ying seemed to recall something and frowned. "I really don't understand. Your Fifth Mainland doesn't have any imprints or Progenitors. Even the Progenitor's inheritance has been severed. How did monsters like the Ten Arbiters emerge?"
"What about the Ten Arbiters?"
Lu Yin hurriedly asked. He wanted to know more about the Ten Arbiters, not only because they were all from the younger generation, but also because he had enemies among them. The more he knew, the better.
Hong Ying sneered at Lu Yin. "Do you really think I'm stupid? That woman is obviously related to the Sea King's Dome, and she's trying to fish for information from me. It doesn't matter if I tell her since it's not a secret, but don't even think about it."
Lu Yin blinked.
"You despicable, shameless person. Don't even think about getting any information from me," Hong Ying said coldly. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Despicable person."
Lu Yin rolled his eyes and simply ignored her.
Hai Qiqi smiled. Her mood had improved all of a sudden. She had completely relaxed after hearing news about the Sea King.
The war in the Grayweed Continent was intense, and Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi were on a spacecraft. More than ten days later, they saw a black line in the distance that stretched endlessly. That was the Grayweed Continent.
In the distant sky above the Grayweed Continent, numerous objects resembling stars were shining brightly. There would be one at a fixed distance from the Grayweed Continent, and they were moving slowly. When these objects fell, it would be the beginning of a new day for the Grayweed Continent.
This was artificial sunlight. In Lu Yin's eyes, the objects in the sky all had rune lines, and each one was equivalent to a Hunter's rune lines.
The Grayweed Continent was extremely vast. The Sixth Mainland's Tong Clan had sent millions of cultivators here, but to the Grayweed Continent, they were just a drop in the ocean. The number of cultivators was not even enough to seal off the coastline.
Lu Yin found a secluded bay and brought Hai Qiqi and Hong Ying onto dry land.
What came into view was a vast sandy beach, which was extremely soft to step on.
There were no rune lines at all.
"It'll take half a day to reach the nearest dojo, and that's with our speed. If it's a Limiteer or an even lower cultivator, it'll take at least ten days to half a month to reach here," Hai Qiqi said. She then glared at Hong Ying. "Where's the Sea King?"
Hong Ying snorted. "I don't know."
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Are you going to tell me? If you don't, I'll strip you."
Lu Yin felt strange.
Hong Ying was furious, and she glared at Lu Yin. "You're despicable."
Lu Yin was speechless. "What does that have to do with me?
I'm not the one who said it. "
"Despicable!" Hong Ying glared at Lu Yin.
Hai Qiqi felt uncomfortable, as she felt like she was being ignored. "Hey, I'm the one who's threatening you."
Hong Ying did not even look at her as she continued to glare at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin felt like he had taken the blame for someone else.
"Forget it, let her go. She's never been to the Grayweed Continent, so she can't possibly know where the Sea King is."
Hai Qiqi thought about it and agreed. She knocked Hong Ying unconscious in a practiced manner before digging a hole and burying her.
A cultivator like her would not suffocate to death, and she would wake up in a few days.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You're very practiced."
Hai Qiqi clenched her fists. "When you were in the Sea King's Dome, I knocked her unconscious several times. Don't worry, I used enough strength to knock her out for three days."
She was quite accurate. Lu Yin's gaze swept past Hai Qiqi and into the distance. "Let's go to Zhongshan Training Ground."
Hai Qiqi nodded. Zhongshan Training Ground was not only the largest training ground in the Grayweed Continent, but it also had the most experts. It was also located at the center of the continent, and it should not have been attacked by the Sixth Mainland. Even if the Sea King was not at Zhongshan Training Ground, he should not be too far from it.
Hai Qiqi spent less than an hour to determine their route, and then she led Lu Yin in a certain direction.
The two avoided all of the training grounds along the way, as they should have all been occupied by the Sixth Mainland.
Not only did they avoid the training grounds, but they also avoided the cultivators. They did not even meet the cultivators from the Innerverse. At present, countless cultivators from the Innerverse had joined the Sixth Mainland and become their lackeys. Otherwise, the Sixth Mainland's three filaments would not have been able to seize the Innerverse's resources no matter how many cultivators there were.
Just like that, the two used their domains to conceal themselves as they approached the center of the Grayweed Continent.
The two were Explorers, so they were extremely fast. However, they were still quite a distance away from Zhongshan Training Ground, which showed just how vast the Grayweed Continent was.
"We'll officially enter the center of the Grayweed Continent after passing through the Jadebelt Forest," Hai Qiqi said in delight.
Lu Yin pulled her back. "Someone's coming." He then led Hai Qiqi into hiding.
Not long after, a group of cultivators flew over at a low altitude. There were more than ten of them, and there were people using their gadgets to scan the area. One of them even released his domain as they carefully advanced, as if afraid of being discovered. It was obvious that they were cultivators from the Cangmang Continent.
Only the cultivators from the Grayweed Continent would not dare to fly too high.
"It's Little Ben! It's Little Ben!" Hai Qiqi suddenly cried out, and Lu Yin could not stop her.
The group of cultivators were shocked, and they looked in Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi's direction with vigilance. The leader of the group gripped a thunderbolt and transformed it into a blade. "Who's there? Come out."
Hai Qiqi flew up and looked at the leader. She excitedly said, "Little Ben, it's me, Sister Qi."
The leader's eyes lit up. "Sister Qi?
You … Why are you here? "
Hai Qiqi hurried over, and Lu Yin followed closely behind. However, he was not too nervous, as only the leader of this group was an Explorer. The rest were just Limiteers, and he could easily wipe them all out.
"Little Ben, it's really you!" Hai Qiqi was delighted, and she walked up to the leader.
The leader was delighted as well, and the rest of the group relaxed. They all landed and looked at Hai Qiqi. "Sister Qi, didn't you say that you didn't come to the Grayweed Continent?
Why are you here? "
Hai Qiqi was delighted to see an old friend. She had spent four years searching for the entrance to the Innerverse, and this man was the first familiar face she had seen, not counting Elder Ren.
The two chatted for a while while the rest of the cultivators spread out to guard the area.
Not long after, Hai Qiqi brought the man over to Lu Yin and introduced him. "He's from the Lightning Dojo. You can call him Little Ben." She looked at Little Ben and was about to introduce him to Lu Yin, but Lu Yin beat her to it. "Call me Brother Qi."
Little Ben had a strange expression. "Brother Qi?"
He then looked at Hai Qiqi. "Sister Qi?"
Hai Qiqi was speechless, as she was helpless against Lu Yin's persistence in calling himself Brother Qi. She wanted to correct him, but she could not.
Little Ben lowered his head and moved closer to Hai Qiqi with a strange smile. "Are you calling me Brother Qi or Brother-in-law Qi?"
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Don't be so cheap. Next time, I'll find a man for Baobao, and you'll be happy to call him Brother-in-law Baobao."
Little Ben's expression turned bitter. "Sister Qi, you're still so vicious."
Hai Qiqi raised her head and saw Lu Yin's confusion. "Little Ben likes Baobao from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that Baobao doesn't like him."
"Sister Qi, let's not talk about it. Come, I'll take you to the Lightning Dojo. Baobao is there too." Little Ben quickly changed the topic.
Hai Qiqi was delighted. "Right, Little Ben, do you know where my father is?"
Little Ben shook his head. "I don't know where the Sea King is."
Hai Qiqi was disappointed.
The group then followed Little Ben in a different direction.
With Little Ben's introduction, Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi were able to understand the current situation in the Grayweed Continent.
The situation was worse than Hong Ying had described, as only twelve of the Grayweed Continent's seventy-two dojos had been successfully defended, and the Lightning Dojo was one of them. The group's goal had been to search for cultivators from the Grayweed Continent.
"You guys really aren't afraid of death. What if you meet cultivators from the Sixth Mainland?" Hai Qiqi asked with disdain.
Little Ben was helpless. "There's nothing we can do. There are many groups like us, and it's not a big deal if we die. It'll be different if we find strong reinforcements."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Half a day later, a ring-shaped mountain appeared in the distance. Dark clouds covered the sky as lightning swam about, occasionally striking down with earth-shaking rumbles.
"That's the Lightning Dojo. Among the seventy-two dojos, the Lightning Dojo is considered one of the strongest, and it's even ranked in the top ten. The previous dojo masters were all known as the Lightning Daolords, and they all had power levels of at least 300,000," Hai Qiqi introduced.
Lu Yin was shocked by the strength of the Grayweed Continent. "Are all seventy-two dojo masters Enlighters?
Does that mean that there are more than seventy-two Enlighters in the Grayweed Continent? "
Little Ben replied, "Of course not. There are seventy-two dojos, but that's just a number. Not even half of the dojos actually have a master. The rest are mostly abandoned, but even abandoned dojos can regain their former glory in a short period of time. For example, there was a dojo a few years ago that was also abandoned, but someone managed to obtain some sort of inheritance there. That person used that inheritance to attract many people to reopen the dojo and even attracted an expert to become its master."
"You're talking about the Taixuan Dojo, right?" Hai Qiqi asked.
Little Ben nodded. "I heard that the person who obtained the inheritance went to the Sea King's Dome a few years ago to participate in the selection with Lan Yu. Sister Qi, you should have an impression of him."
Hai Qiqi was disdainful. "No, he didn't even reach the finish line."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "What's that person's name?"
Little Ben answered, "Lan Dao."
