Chapter 2735: Insolence

Chapter 2735: Insolence

Wang Zheng's expression changed drastically as a surge of spiritual force suddenly erupted that was as overwhelming and unstoppable as a tsunami. It rose up from below, shaking the Wang familys entire floating continent.

At the same time, the ball of light that floated above the mainland released a hazy light that stopped Lu Yin's spiritual force. But it went farther than that, as his spiritual force was actually suppressed and overpowered.

The jiao beneath Lu Yins feet let out a roar as it raised its claws threateningly, ready to attack.

"Lu Xiaoxuan, what do you think you are doing?" Wang Fan arrived, a calm expression on his face.

Lu Yin calmed the jiao before meeting Wang Fans eyes. "Nothing much. I havent been here for quite a while, so I came to look around."

"Whatever you do, don't bother my Wang family," Wang Fan commanded.

Lu Yin replied, "Then keep an eye on your underlings. If they act up against me, you cant blame me for getting rid of all of them."

Wang Zheng clenched his fists, but he did not argue. After all, Lu Yin indeed had the qualifications to make such a threat.

Wang Fan indifferently replied, "I hope that you can remain this arrogant while at the Endless Frontier."

Lu Yin smiled and then glanced around at the various Perennial World cultivators in the surrounding area. "I, Lu Yin, will definitely recreate the former glory of the Lu family and uncover all the mysteries in this universe. Just wait and see, as it wont be long, haha!"

He then directed the jiao towards Dragon Mountain.

The jiao let out another roar as it bared its teeth and brandished its claws again. It gave Wang Fan an intimidating glare and then raced away as quickly as possible.

The four ruling powers had openly joined forces with Luo Shan to overthrow the Heavens Sect. With all semblance of a truce gone, there was no longer any reason for politeness to exist between them.

In particular, ever since the Heavens Sect had gained the leverage to directly face the four ruling powers, Lu Yin had cast off all restraints.

The eyes of every cultivator in the mountain valley lit up, particularly the eyes of the cultivators who were not part of the four ruling powers. Such people worshiped Lu Yin from the bottom of their hearts.

It was clear to all that the Lu family had been destroyed, and it was just as clear that Lu Yin had not become a Progenitor yet. Despite all this, he could still confront Progenitors and speak to the entire Higher Realm, claiming that he would restore the glory of the Lu family. This was Lu Yin, the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect.

Already, seeds had been planted in the hearts of everyone who heard Lu Yins words. They knew that the day would come when the man would fight to take back the Perennial World.

Wang Su, Wang Yi, and Wang Xiaofan were all on the Wang familys continent at this moment, and they stared at Lu Yin's departing figure. The gap between them was only growing wider and wider.

The jiao flew through the sky. The beast did nothing to hide its presence or passage, and the pressure of a Progenitor-level beast covered nearly half of the Higher Realm before Lu Yin finally arrived at Dragon Mountain.

Just as he did so, Bai Wangyuan also arrived.

Dragon Mountain was silent, and the members of the White Dragon Clan nervously watched from a distance, wary of whatever was about to happen. They had felt Lu Yin coming and had also been informed of Progenitor Longs death. Was Lu Yin on his way to get revenge on Dragon Mountain?

Almost as soon as the jiao appeared, it stopped moving, though a powerful wind swept over Dragon Mountain, knocking many of the cultivators there over.

Bai Wangyuan calmly looked at the top of the jiaos head. "Lu Xiaoxuan, why have you come to Dragon Mountain?"

Lu Yin was caught off guard. "Bai Wangyuan? Why are you at Dragon Mountain?"

Bai Wangyuan solemnly replied, "Monarch Luo has already gone to the Endless Frontier. Why have you not done so as well? Do you really intend to disobey the Great Sovereign's order?"

"That's my business and has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way," Lu Yin answered rudely.

Bai Wangyuan frowned. "You are not allowed to visit Dragon Mountain."

Lu Yin laughed. "Since when did Dragon Mountain become yours, Bai Wangyuan?"

"Progenitor Long is dead, so your grudges with the White Dragon Clan should have also ended," Bai Wangyuan stated.

Lu Yins voice grew cold. "Do you really think that I would attack the current Dragon Mountain? These people are nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs. What can two Semi-Progenitors do when leading a bunch of trash?"

On Dragon Mountain, Grand Elder Ni Huang, Long Laogui, and the rest of the White Dragon Clan heard Lu Yins words, but regardless of how much his words enraged them, none of them could say a word against him. They could see that even Bai Wangyuan was wary of Lu Yin, so what could the White Dragon Clan hope to do? How could they even argue against him?

Long Ke clasped his hands behind his back as he stared off into the distance. This was a demonstration of true arrogance.

Long Kui smiled bitterly as beside him, Gui covered his head with his wings. The jiaos pressure was so overpowering to Gui that the beast did not even dare to show his head.

Long Xi was calmly sitting at a stone table, though Xiao Qing bit her lips, her face pale.

Not one person made a sound, as all of them were listening to the conversation between Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan.

Long Xi picked up his cup and took a sip of the tea. "Move back."

Xiao Qing did not dare to return to her feet. She remained on her knees as she begged for mercy.

Lu Yin waved a hand.

The maid swallowed, rose to her feet, and nervously stepped backwards until she was so far away that she was almost out of sight.

"I keep her around to remind me not to trust anyone easily. If I find another maid, I will end up caring for her over time. Who knows if that person will also be a problem," Long Xi explained.

Lu Yin nodded. "That makes sense, but as time passes, you will lock your heart away."

Long Xi stared down into her tea cup. "Whats the point of leaving it open?"

Lu Yin regretted his words. He should not have said such a thing to Long Xi, and he had no idea how to respond.

"What is the White Dragon Clan planning to do now?" Lu Yin asked.

Long Xi shook her head. "I don't know. Since our Progenitor is dead, we should leave."

"Head down to the Middle Realm?"

"Down to the Lower Realm."

Lu Yin was taken aback. "Was this your idea, or someone else's?"

Long Xi looked up at Lu Yin. "The four ruling powers have always had a distinction between the strong and the weak. Our White Dragon clan has always been the weakest, but the presence of our ancestor prevented us from falling too far behind the others. With him dead, the Celestial Frost Sect, Shenwu's Sky, and the Wang family will divide all the resources that once belonged to my White Dragon Clan. In name, the four ruling powers will remain the same as ever, but without a single Progenitor, we will be regarded as nothing but a joke.

"It would be better for us to go down to the Lower Realm and wait beside the Python Ancestor. With our White Dragon Clans connection to the Python Ancestor, no one would dare to touch us in his presence."

"In that case, is this your idea, or someone else's?" Lu Yin asked.

Long Xi's voice dropped. "Mine."

Lu Yin was not surprised. "The others don't agree?"

Long Xi shook her head. "Father was the first to object."

Lu Yin disdainfully commented, "Long Ke places too much importance on status. Does he actually believe that he is still the patriarch of the White Dragon Clan thats a part of the four ruling powers? Right now, his status isnt even equal to Bai Teng's old status. At least Bai Teng had Bai Xian'er."

Suddenly, Lu Yin felt that he had said something very wrong. Wait, how were his words anything less than comparing Long Xi to Bai Xian'er?

Sure enough, Long Xi's face had fallen.

Lu Yin quickly spoke up again, "I didn't mean it like that. You are younger than Bai Xian'er."

Wait, that's not right, either. The White Dragon Clan members all live a very long time, so Long Xi might actually be even older than Bai Xian'er.

Long Xi replied, "I understand, but my father is still the patriarch, and Grand Elder Ni Huang also has no intention of going anywhere. Theres nothing that I can do."

Lu Yin said, "Does Grand Elder Ni Huang have a chance to break through and become a Progenitor?"

Long Xi looked at Lu Yin, but said nothing. She just stared at him.

Lu Yin laughed. "What? Do you think that Ill kill him to get rid of a potential problem?"

"Probably not," Long Xi assented.

Lu Yin helplessly protested, "Absolutely not!"

"No one believes that," Long Xi retorted.

Lu Yin blew out a breath and took out the strange eye. "Tell me a bit about this."
