“Alright, I need to go. I didn’t expect this mission to become so eventful, and I should do some self reflection,” Guo Shan said helplessly.
“Do I have another mission?” Lu Yin asked.
Guo Shan answered, “You might have had one before what just happened, but now, I’m not so sure.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Yin was confused.
Guo Shan enviously explained, “You’ve opened your lower meridian point, and you also beat Liu Lu earlier, which means that you might have a chance of going to the Dominion Realm. That’s why you won’t be given any missions unless you’re confirmed to not be going. You should know that no mission is considered more important than someone potentially becoming a Progenitor.
Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. If Humility’s Gate felt that he had a chance, then it meant that there was a good chance that Long Tian would contact him soon.
Opening his lower meridian point had provided Lu Yin with an excuse to reveal more of his strength. Even though he still couldn’t fully reveal everything, it should be fine for him to appear to be as powerful as Unseen Light. The best time for Lu Yin to demonstrate his increased strength would be after becoming an Enlighter.
It would not be easy for him to become an Enlighter, as he had only completed his sixteenth cycle as a Hunter even after using Long Xi’s blood. If he suddenly became an Enlighter within such a short period of time, then Long Xi would become suspicious, and that would get him in trouble.
More importantly, would he face any obstacles when becoming an Enlighter?
He recalled the issues that he had faced during his previous breakthroughs and felt a bit of panic. Several of his past breakthroughs had been very difficult—would he face the same situation when breaking through to the Enlighter realm?
Lu Yin quietly stayed in the forest while Long Kui returned to Flying Armor Pass.
After Long Kui arrived, he realized that Long Xian had long since disappeared, along with Long Ding’s body. The former commander had left the Flying Armor Troops behind.
“He fled really quickly, huh,” Long Kui muttered to himself. He looked towards the north. Even if Long Xian had run away, Long Kui could still track him down.
He was going after Long Xian not only because the man was a traitor to the clan, but also because of the tribulation crystals.
The White Dragon Clan desperately wished to know how Long Xian had acquired so many tribulation crystals, and that was another reason why Long Tian had wanted Long Xian to return to Dragon Mountain. Once Long Xian reached the family’s headquarters, there would be no escaping for him.
The sky grew dark, and it started raining. The raindrops were light blue, and the drops looked like beams of light falling from the sky. Even though there was not much light, there was enough to illuminate Long Xian’s face.
Long Xian silently buried Long Ding in the ground with a scarily calm expression. He had nobody to talk to, and he hid his hatred deep within his heart as the rain splashed onto his hand.
He looked back at where he had come from. Five hours had passed since he had left Flying Armor Pass, which was the moment that Long Kui had taken Long Qi. Long Xian had already known that the White Dragon Clan would never let him off.
He was in great danger at this moment, as he had lost the White Dragon Clan’s protection. There were countless people who wanted to learn where he had gotten that pillar of tribulation crystal from.
He hoped that nobody would be able to find him.
Homeless, he moved towards the north. Long Xian was making his way to the Middle Ocean, as it covered a huge area, and there were many places devoid of people. There were even a few places that had developed along alternative lines of civilization. He was confident that nobody would be able to find him in the Middle Ocean, and he would only return after achieving a power level of at least a million.
He did not have much interest in joining the Celestial Frost Sect, the Wang family, or the Xia family. All of them would demand that he tell them the origins of the tribulation crystal pillar, and that was not something that he could explain.
An hour later, Long Xian was still fleeing from Flying Armor Pass when the sky in front of him suddenly cracked open. He saw a pair of cruel eyes appear and a hand that tried to grab him. Long Xian had already prepared himself for this, so he was not shocked that somebody would pursue him.
He took out his spear and thrust it towards the person. Suddenly, five fingers appeared in front of him: “Four Arts: Pearl.”
This person was from the Wang family. Long Xian quickly tried to dodge, but he was already too late; one of his powers was sealed. Scales began to appear on his body, and when the hand struck his chest, his eyes nearly flew out of his head. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back, smashing into the ground.
His physical strength must have been sealed, as he had been easily injured by that blow. Long Xian vomited blood once again as a black silhouette appeared in front of him.
The attacker had a comparable strength to Long Xian’s, as they had also passed through a second tribulation. However, the attacker had sealed Long Xian’s physical strength, and his attack had seriously injured Long Xian, which left him unable to retaliate.
The attacker said nothing at all, simply continuing to launch more attacks against Long Xian.
Long Xian clenched his spear tightly before throwing it forward. The blade pierced through the sky—Long Xian was not actually trying to defeat his attacker. Instead, his main goal was to attract more people here.
Long Xian was confident that, since somebody from the Wang family had appeared, people from Shenwu’s Sky and the Celestial Frost Sect would arrive as well.
The attacker dodged the spear and immediately used Four Arts: Celestial Blade when they saw that the sky had been split open by the spear.
Long Xian narrowly dodged this attack, but the attack’s shockwaves injured his left arm. It also flung him ten meters away, and the attacker leaped after him. However, a finger suddenly appeared and pointed at Long Xian’s attacker.
The attacker backed off immediately as the finger shattered the entire area.
Long Xian’s eyes gleamed; this was the Celestial Frost Sect’s Celestial Being Shows the Way. They had shown up after all.
The two people then started fighting each other, leaving Long Xian in between them. A few other famous powerhouses joined in a bit later, and Long Kui also arrived. He wanted to take Long Xian away, but he was unable to do so with so many powerhouses around.
Long Xian recovered his strength and leaped into the true universe to escape. However, before he left, he cut off his right hand. It fell to the ground along with a cosmic ring on a finger.
“What you all want is in that cosmic ring. Nobody will be able to get anything if you chase after me,” Long Xian shouted before running away.
Long Kui wanted to go after the clan traitor, but his attention shifted to the cosmic ring. When he thought of the crystal pillar, his eyes glittered, and he reached for the cosmic ring at the same time that the other people did.
Long Xian did not even know who managed to snatch the cosmic ring, as there were still people chasing him. Not everyone had believed him.
Even though Long Xian was an Envoy, he had already been seriously injured, and the stellular energy vortex in his left arm had been destroyed. This caused him to eventually fall out of the true universe, and several people rushed towards him from behind.
Long Xian felt bitter. He had been the commander of the Flying Armor Troops, and yet, he had still been forced into such a situation. If everything had gone according to plan, then he would currently be under the protection of the White Dragon Clan’s main family, and Long Ding would have been preparing to become an Enlighter. Then, Long Xian’s son would have gone to the Dominion Realm with Long Tian. How had everything gone so horribly wrong? It was all that Long Qi’s fault! Revenge! Long Xian wanted revenge.
He could not die, as he still had to avenge Ding’er. There was no way Long Xian could die here.
Multiple people descended in front of him. Every last one of them wanted to capture him. These people had not spoken a single word, as they did not want to reveal their identities.
Although Long Xian had been injured, the people chasing after him were not Envoys. If any of them were, he would have been caught while still in the true universe. These people were just Enlighters.
Long Xian managed to kill a few by putting his full efforts forth. Both his left arm and right hand were injured now, and he panted heavily. He had never suffered such terrible injuries before.
“Do you think that they came to capture you? That’s wrong. They were only supposed to share your location. Only Envoys can capture you,” a soft voice said.
Long Xian was shocked. There was blood at the corner of his lips, and a pool of blood on the ground. “Who- who’s speaking?”
“Was the tribulation crystal pillar that I gave you useful?” the voice taunted.
Long Xian was astonished. “It was you! Are you the one who gave me that cosmic ring with the crystal pillar? Who are you?”
“Sigh. You’re so useless. I gave you a crystal pillar, yet you let someone else reap the benefit of it.”
“Who are you?” Long Xian shouted.
“Are you trying to attract more people? Would that help you?”
Long Xian collapsed onto the ground and looked around. “Who- who are you?”
“You already have your answer, and it’s just that you don’t dare to say it aloud. Fine, I’ll tell you: I am the enemy of all humanity. You are a traitor.”
Long Xian grew furious. “No, I’m not! I never promised you anything, and I never helped you to do anything! What do you want? Why did you give me that crystal? What could I even do for you?”
“You’ve already helped me. Who do you think spread the word that you had a crystal pillar?”
Long Xian gritted his teeth. “It was you! You told Humility’s Gate! Why would you do that?”
“I merely spilled the information to them, and their conclusion was that you weren’t a traitor. You got yourself into your current situation because you and your son were useless. That’s why both of you were destroyed by others, and that’s none of my business. Regardless, I still got the results I wanted, so you’ve succeeded at your mission.”
Long Xian felt confused. “What mission?”
“Hahahaha, take a guess. Think about what you did.”
Long Xian suddenly remembered the cosmic ring that he had left behind and the item that had been in the cosmic ring along with the tribulation crystal pillar. His face went pale. “It’s a trap?”
“Using a pillar of tribulation crystal to deal with four Junior Progenitors? Sounds like a good deal, no?”
Long Xian trembled. He was finished. If the item in the cosmic ring was really a trap, then the deaths of the four Junior Progenitors would shock the entire Perennial World, and he would become the universe’s biggest criminal. “Why? Why did you choose me?”
“Weren’t you very happy when you received the crystal pillar? Are you regretting it now?”
Long Xian closed his eyes. He had still held a glimmer of hope in his heart that he would be able to join the Celestial Frost Sect, Shenwu’s Sky, or the Wang family in order to get revenge on the White Dragon Clan. But now, he had nothing. He was going to become humanity’s greatest traitor, and nobody would let him off. There would be no place for him even in the Middle Ocean.
“You became a traitor the moment you left that cosmic ring behind. You did a great job on your mission, so why are you blaming yourself? Just join us. You don’t have any other choice.”
Long Xian looked up at the sky. He was overcome with bitterness, desperation, and hatred. “So this is how you groom traitors.”
Most people had no desire to betray humanity but were instead forced to do so. Long Xian had been the commander of the Flying Armor Troops, and yet he had unknowingly completed a mission for these monsters.
“Do you want revenge?”
These four words flashed through Long Xian’s mind, and he remembered the scene of Long Ding dying in his arms. He had to get revenge on Long Qi! He wanted to kill Long Qi and destroy the White Dragon Clan. He was going to get revenge on the four ruling powers. Long Xian had already changed.
“Humans will eventually die from their greed and hatred, and we will be the ultimate winners. Still, why is he here? That’s quite interesting. Really interesting, hahahaha. Our plans will have to change, humans. Hahahaha!”
