Wang Xiaofan stepped forward and bowed to Wang Jian. "Ancestor, let her go."
Wang Jian turned to glare at Wang Xiaofan. "What did you just say?"
Wang Xiaofan took a deep breath and then said, "Please, Ancestor, let her go."
Wang Su and the others looked at Wang Xiaofan. They all knew that the man had cared for Wang Miaomiao since childhood. Even so, it was surprising to see the man have the courage to contradict their ancestor because of her.
Wang Jian waved Wang Xiaofan away. "You are not allowed to interfere."
He turned back to Wang Miaomiao. "If you want to leave, then ask Lu Qi to come get you. I’d like to see if he dares to show himself before me."
Several people felt bad, as even if Lu Qi had the courage to do so, he first had to know where the Wang family even was.
Within the crowd, Wei Rong shook his head. This man was too stubborn. It would have been better if he had shown a bit more tolerance.
Before long, another group of people arrived, led by Xia Yan. Among the newcomers were Xia Ziheng, as well as the most talented disciples of Shenwu’s Sky. They were rendezvousing with the Wang family.
When Wang Jian saw the people from Shenwu's Sky arrive, his expression softened slightly, but just as he was about to speak, the distant Shenwu's Sky dropped down. A second hole had appeared in the Higher Realm, just like the one that had appeared for the Wang family. Through the hole, it was possible to see the clouds of the Middle Realm.
Everyone from Shenwu's Sky turned pale.
And on the Wang family’s side, grim expressions appeared. They had already watched the Wang family’s continent drop down. Their fall was inevitable, and there was no way that Shenwu's Sky would be spared.
"Greetings, Progenitor Jian." The people from Shenwu's Sky turned back and bowed to Wang Jian. There was no longer anything for them in the Higher Realm.
Wang Jian waved a hand. "There is no need for such courtesy. Where are the people from the Celestial Frost Sect?"
"Reporting to Ancestor: they are still en route and will arrive soon," Xia Ziheng stepped forward to answer.
Wang Jian looked back at Wang Miaomiao once more.
The woman’s miserable condition drew some attention from the people from Shenwu's Sky, but they did not dare to ask any questions.
It had already been decided that they would go to the Sixverse Association. If the four ruling powers each went alone, they would have far less power than if they joined together, which was why Wang Jian had waited for the others. There was no other reason for him to wait for outsiders.
It did not take long for people from the Celestial Frost Sect to arrive. They were led by Bai Laogui, as well as Bai Su, Elder Xi Zi, Bai Weiwei, Dong Shan, and several other elders.
After everyone from the Celestial Frost Sect had bowed to Wang Jian, the Progenitor said, "The White Dragon Clan refuses to come, so there's no need to force them. Let them be destroyed by the Lu family. We'll go to the Sixverse Association."
"Yes, Progenitor Jian," everyone responded respectfully.
Three people stepped out from the crowd. They were the people who had been placed within the four ruling powers by the Sixverse Association. These were the people who allowed the four ruling powers to communicate with the Sixverse Association and travel back and forth.
The Sixverse Association had refused to allow anyone from the four ruling powers to leave a mark on their coordinate seals, which had frustrated the four ruling powers. Even so, there was nothing that they could do about it.
"Alright, everyone, let's go," Wang Jian stated.
The three people glanced at each other, but they did nothing.
Wang Jian frowned. "You can take us to the Sixverse Association now."
Still, the three did nothing.
Wang Jian realized that something was very wrong, and he grew very nervous. Seeing the helpless expressions on the three people’s faces, the Progenitor’s own expression changed drastically. "Not good!"
Others suddenly thought of something, and they turned to stare at the three people.
The void tore open behind the three people, and more appeared. They were Leng Qing, Master Shan, and Chen Le.
Three Progenitors had appeared, and their auras instantly filled the area, suppressing everyone and leaving the people from the four ruling powers unable to breathe.
Wang Jian did not hesitate to tear the void open to escape, but Leng Qing reacted too quickly, and his sword fell upon the Progenitor’s head.
Aside from Wang Jian, there was no one else present who was capable of fighting against a Progenitor.
When Leng Qing attacked Wang Jian, the people from the four ruling powers could only watch on.
Master Shan was extremely excited. He had been waiting for this day for years. Finally, it had arrived. After this day, the four ruling powers, the Lu family’s greatest enemies, would no longer exist in the Origin Universe.
"The Lu family! If I fight to the death, you won't have an easy time of things! Release me!" Wang Jian roared. He could not understand how they had been found by these people from the Heavens Sect.
Leng Qing's saber swept out. "Go ahead and try."
Wang Jian did his best. If he did not resist immediately, he would lose any chance to escape once he was surrounded by three Progenitors.
Everyone from the four ruling powers ran away, their faces pale and terrified.
Xia Ziheng looked worse than anyone else. Given how cruel he had been towards the Lu family in the past, he was beyond terrified at this moment.
In the distance, Wang Miaomiao was still lying on the ground, even after the pressure from Wang Jian had disappeared. She still wanted to leave, but she could not get up due to her injuries.
Fortunately, a hand appeared before her, reaching down to help her up. Wang Miaomiao reflexively grabbed it, but when she looked up, her face went blank.
"I’m late, Miss Wang." It was a familiar voice, one that Wang Miaomiao had dreamed of hearing again. This was the voice of someone whom she had longed to see in her dreams.
Her eyes grew red. "Lu Qi?"
The man standing before her was none other than Lu Qi. How could he not have appeared when the Lu family was exacting its revenge?
Naturally, the location of Wang Jian and everyone else had been leaked by Wei Rong.
Wang Miaomiao viciously shoved Lu Qi away. "Stay away from me!"
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and simply picked Wang Miaomiao up. "You were coming after me, and I know where your heart lies."
Wang Miaomiao blushed brightly with embarrassment, and she struggled to get away. "Lu Qi, let me go, you bastard!"
Lu Qi completely ignored her protestations.
Some distance away, Wang Jian noticed Lu Qi’s actions, even while fighting against Leng Qing. The Progenitor roared, "Lu Qi, release Miaomiao!"
Lu Qi turned to look at Wang Jian, and his expression fell. "Progenitor Jian, when my Lu family was exiled, were you a part of it?"
