The Que's Mighty Slash was easily deflected by Lu Yin, and Ling Que's entire body was under Lu Yin's control. "Speak! Why are you here?"
Ling Que roared, "I was just about to ask you that!"
At that moment, the figures of Master Yuan and Ancestor Eyeless appeared in the sky.
Ling Que stared blankly. No matter how slow he was, he could sense that something was amiss. It was as if a group of people had suddenly appeared and started fighting. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Yin. "Weren't you in the Outerverse?"
Lu Yin held onto Ling Que tightly. "The Astral River was torn apart, and we fought our way in."
"Are you guys crazy? A mere Outerverse dares to invade the Innerverse?" Ling Que cried out.
At that moment, a giant hammer smashed into the distance from the sky. Sword qi soared into the sky and slashed towards the hammer.
Ling Que's expression changed. "Old Yiran has been discovered. The plan has been brought forward. We're going to rob the transport team."
Lu Yin released Ling Que and looked into the distance. That sword qi did not belong to anyone from the Outerverse. Even though its power level had been suppressed to below 200,000, Lu Yin was certain that the attacker was extremely powerful. That sword qi made Lu Yin's heart palpitate, and it even surpassed Liu Qiuyu's. Someone else had been hiding here for a long time, just like Ling Que.
"Rob?
Who else besides you? "Lu Yin asked.
Ling Que raised his head. "Many people. These resources belong to the Innerverse, so it's impossible for the Sixth Mainland to take them away."
At that moment, there were battles everywhere on the transport team. Although Ancestor Eyeless' innate gift had brought the Outerverse cultivators to the mainland, they had been separated. The Outerverse cultivators, the Tong family, and the Eyeless Clan had all been separated.
Separating the Outerverse cultivators was not a good thing, as there were too many cultivators from the Sixth Mainland. This was especially true for the transport team. The number of experts present was no less than the number of experts from the Tong family and the Eyeless Clan that had attacked the Outerverse. If nothing unexpected happened, the Outerverse cultivators would either die or be captured.
However, things were different if Ling Que and the others, who had been lying in ambush on the mainland, were added to the mix. Since they had dared to rob the transport convoy, then they naturally had a certain level of confidence. Furthermore, Patriarch Eyeless' innate gift was able to separate the Outerverse cultivators. Some of the Outerverse cultivators had appeared in very unlucky places. For example, one person had appeared right in front of a ninth level blacksmith from a smithing family and had been smashed into a puddle of blood. However, there were also some who had appeared in the area where the Innerverse cultivators were imprisoned.
The most heavily guarded area on the entire transport continent was the area where the Innerverse cultivators were being held. There were a total of three fourth-stage weapon forgers standing guard, and each of them was comparable to an Enlighter with a power level of 400,000. There was also a seventh-stage weapon forger whose power level exceeded 720,000.
Even if Master Yuan wanted to break through these people's blockade, it would still take some time.
However, someone had been lucky enough to appear behind the blockade and successfully release the Innerverse cultivators who had been imprisoned.
A chaotic battle unfolded on the transport continent. The Outerverse cultivators, Ling Que and the others who had been hiding in preparation for the robbery, as well as the Innerverse cultivators who had been released, numbered about the same as the Sixth Mainland. There were simply too many Innerverse cultivators who had been released.
Ever since the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Innerverse, this was the most unlucky shipment they'd ever had.
The entire transport continent was thrown into chaos.
The person who had organized Ling Que and the others to rob the transport continent was none other than Starsibyl. She was not the Starsibyl from the Astral Combat Academy, but rather the Starsibyl who had appeared at the Sea King's Dome and had conversed with Lu Yin.
Even with Starsibyl's calm and insightful personality, she was still at a loss at this moment. She did not understand what was going on, but since they had been exposed, they could only fight.
The most depressed person was the ninth-stage weapon forger from the smithing family. Originally, this had been a good shipment, and at most, a few rats had managed to sneak in, which should have been enough to deal with the situation. However, Ancestor Eyeless had forcefully disrupted everything. He had brought in a group of Outerverse experts and even allowed the imprisoned Innerverse cultivators to escape. If not for Ancestor Eyeless, the weapon forger would have thought that this person was a spy from the Sixth Mainland.
Lu Yin and Ling Que were discovered, and a group of Sixth Mainland cultivators surrounded them. Lu Yin immediately took action. He had taken off his universal armor when he had entered the Innerverse, but under the suppression of the astronomical phenomenon, it did not matter if he wore it or not. Ling Que, on the other hand, had a solemn expression. "You bunch of slaves with a fixed cultivation system. You have no future. You …"
Lu Yin's expression turned strange. "What are you doing?"
Ling Que solemnly replied, "I'm trying to see if I can scare them to death."
Lu Yin was speechless. This guy must be crazy!
Lu Yin had never imagined that when he had fused with a Sixth Mainland cultivator's body and killed himself right in front of Ling Que, it had shocked Ling Que greatly. After that, Ling Que had always wanted to say that his enemies would die, as he felt that this was even more cool. Although he had never succeeded, he never grew tired of it.
Lu Yin did not care about Ling Que anymore. This guy had gone crazy.
The monkey also felt strange. "Seventh Bro, the Innerverse has been suppressed so badly?
How can one person be so crazy? "
Not too far away from Lu Yin and Ling Que was a lake with a strange ore at the bottom that could only be stored in water.
Within the ore, a beautiful woman opened her eyes and took out a simple zither from her cosmic ring. She then slowly began to play.
The zither's melody was melodious, but it was also filled with killing intent.
Along with the zither's melody, a domain gradually spread out, as if it was trying to distinguish between friend and foe.
The zither's melody traveled past Lu Yin, which stunned him. This domain was very powerful.
When the zither's melody came into contact with the Sixth Mainland cultivators, many of them felt their brains tremble, and they all fainted.
Ling Que stopped talking and looked excited. "It's Great Elder Crimson Moon."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Who?"
Ling Que replied, "The Great Elder of the Souldream Tribe. She has a power level of over 400,000 and is close to the level of an Emissary. The entire Souldream Tribe was captured by the Sixth Mainland, and she was the only one who escaped."
"The Souldream Tribe was captured?" Lu Yin was shocked. He remembered someone saying that some of the stronger tribes of the Innerverse should have escaped.
Ling Que sighed. "The Souldream Tribe is quite unlucky. Who told them to be so beautiful that they attracted the attention of a forging family? They decided to distribute them as spoils of war. Over the past few years, many of the Souldream Tribe women have been distributed, and some of them have even been sent back to the Sixth Mainland as spoils of war."
Lu Yin's face sank, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
He had some history with the Souldream Tribe, and he and Xi Yue could be considered friends. On Planet Pyrolyte, he had also made a deal with the Souldream Tribe and even saved them. He had never thought that this tribe would suffer such a calamity, one that was even worse than the Starfall Sea.
Ling Que's eyes dimmed. Actually, he could have chosen not to attack the transport convoy, but when the Sixth Mainland had attacked the Spirit Seal Flowzone, the Lingling Tribe had abandoned the Souldream Tribe and fled. He felt guilty, and so he had decided to attack the transport convoy. Not only did these resources belong to the Innerverse, but he also wanted to save the Souldream Tribe.
Although Ling Que's appearance was exaggerated and he was unreliable, he had his own principles.
"Let's go find Great Elder Crimson Moon. She's carrying the Moonlight Zither, which is a rare treasure of the Souldream Tribe. It's too destructive for a large group of people, and there's definitely someone who wants to deal with her."
Lu Yin nodded, and the two of them headed towards the lake.
They weren't the only ones; all of the Innerverse cultivators who had been preparing to attack the transport convoy rushed towards the lake upon hearing the zither's music. This was something that they had discussed beforehand. Great Elder Crimson Moon's domain could cover the entire continent, and the zither's music was too destructive for the Sixth Mainland. They had to protect her.
From a bird's eye view, one could see that countless people had gathered around the lake. There were Innerverse cultivators, and there were also cultivators from the Sixth Mainland. They seemed to be surrounding the lake in a battle to the death.
In the sky, a giant hammer smashed towards the bottom of the lake. A true expert from the smithing aristocratic family had arrived, and he was at least a fourth stage blacksmith. Although his power level had been suppressed, he still revealed a valiant aura that caused many Innerverse cultivators to revere him.
A figure charged out from the bottom of the lake and viciously collided with the hammer.
There was a thump, and a shockwave spread out. The figure spat out a mouthful of blood as he was smashed into the lake.
The void tore apart as a hand holding a hammer appeared above the lake. It was an old man with a fourth stage symbol on his hammer, indicating that he was a fourth stage blacksmith.
"Little brat, you're able to block one of my hammers. You have great potential. Come with me to the Sixth Mainland, and I can let you join the smithing aristocratic family." The old man gripped his hammer tightly as he looked down coldly.
The figure on the lake looked up. It was a young man who was only a Cruiser. His name was Cang Mu, and he was a follower of the Ten Arbiters' War King. He was ranked ninth on the Top 100 Rankings and had surpassed Leng Jie. He was one of the top figures of the Innerverse's younger generation.
"Old man, your hammers aren't that great." Cang Mu spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered.
The old man snorted. "You're courting death." He then swung his hammer down again. At this moment, the sound of a zither reverberated from the bottom of the lake, and it transformed into visible ripples that swept towards the old man.
Great Elder Crimson Moon was the great elder of the Souldream Tribe, and her true power level exceeded 450,000. She was extremely close to being an Emissary, and she was the Souldream Tribe's number one expert. She also carried her tribe's treasure, the Moonlight Zither. When they worked together, she did not fear anyone at the same level as her. However, her opponent was a fourth stage blacksmith from a smithing aristocratic family.
The smithing aristocratic families were different from the other powers of the Sixth Mainland. This was because there were celestial imprinters in the smithing aristocratic families. Every expert from a smithing aristocratic family would forge their own weapons, which were most suitable for them and would allow them to display their full potential.
A fourth stage blacksmith also had a power level of over 400,000, and with his martial imprint and imprint, he was able to shatter the rhythmic ripples with a single strike of his hammer.
Even though Great Elder Crimson Moon had suppressed her power level to less than 200,000, she was still slightly weaker than the fourth stage blacksmith, whether it was in terms of destructive power or defensive power. This was the most common situation when comparing the Innerverse to the Sixth Mainland.
The old man shattered the rhythmic ripples with a single strike of his hammer and then charged towards the bottom of the lake.
Cang Mu roared and tried to use his body to block the attack.
The old man sneered. What a mere ant.
At that moment, a cold glint flashed in the corner of his eyes. The old man frowned and swung his hammer in a different direction. The Que's Mighty Slash shattered through the void, and in the distance, Ling Que spat out a mouthful of blood. His figure, which had been charging towards the lakeside, suddenly stopped as if he had been struck by something.
The Que's Mighty Slash changed the direction of the hammer so that it did not hit Cang Mu. Cang Mu took the opportunity to attack the old man, but his attacks did not harm the old man at all. The old man's star energy alone was enough to suppress Cang Mu, and the void was even solidified by his star energy. The old man raised a hand and grabbed at Cang Mu's neck.
At the bottom of the lake, Great Elder Crimson Moon leapt out. Her zither's strings vibrated and transformed into a sonic boom that blasted towards the old man.
The old man grabbed at Cang Mu with one hand and raised his hammer high into the air with the other before smashing it down. He did not care about Great Elder Crimson Moon at all.
To an expert from a smithing aristocratic family, such a gentle attack did not even have the ability to slow them down.
