Thus far, Lu Yin had managed to mobilize six experts with power levels of at least a million: the Second Nightking, Liu Huang, Yuan Shi, Jiu Shen, Ya Mavis, and finally, Master Qing Hua.
The Astral Beast Domain’s forces were also far from weak. They had the Celestial Demon, Xu Qing, Sword King, the Void Wanderer elder, and more.
There were more than ten individuals participating in this war with power levels in excess of a million. This was a rare occurrence even throughout all of human history.
The fact that there were more than twenty Envoys participating was already enough to draw the attention of the entire Fifth Mainland.
“Alliance Leader Lu, it’s no wonder why you asked my Mavis family for help. This war is certainly not a minor scuffle,” Ya Mavis commented. She was truly stunned by what she saw as she glanced around at the Second Nightking, Jiu Shen, Sword King, and the Void Wanderer elder. She was secretly amazed at Lu Yin’s influence.
Lightning suddenly flickered. Xu Qing had returned. He solemnly stared at Ya Mavis, and his fingers trembled slightly. How had Lu Yin managed to keep such a powerhouse hidden for so long? Xu Qing had felt that he had been truly cunning and thorough in this war, but he had failed time and time again as his opponent outperformed him.
In the future, Lu Yin would become a true catastrophe for the Astral Beast Domain if he were not eliminated.
Liu Huang also arrived, and he immediately stared at Lu Yin for a long moment. He had been right in his judgment of Lu Yin; the youth indeed had more tricks that he had kept hidden.
Master Qing Hua suddenly attacked, and his wooden staff swung at Xu Qing. He needed to get Progenitor Wushang’s hide.
Sword King raised his sword and attacked Qing Hua. Elder Jiu Shen also took action, and stars appeared and began to revolve around his body. He used the Celestial Sword Technique to attack, and at the same time, the Second Nightking and the Celestial Demon went after each other.
In a split second, nearly all of the experts with power levels of a million or more took action, and all of Northcastle Weave trembled. Countless planets shattered, and the damage even spread to some of the nearby weaves.
Lu Yin asked Ya Mavis and the others to hold the astral beasts back as he quickly ordered the fleet to flee. A battle at this level was something that none of the weaker humans could hope to survive if they stuck around.
“Xu Qing, do you intend to go back on your word? The fighting should have already stopped!” Lu Yin yelled.
Xu Qing sneered. “I should be the one saying that to you! Qing Hua isn’t part of your Great Eastern Alliance, and yet you’re helping him, which is deliberately pushing this war to continue. Our deal is invalid!”
Lu Yin shouted back, “Fine, we’ll stop! This matter is between you and Master Qing Hua.”
Lu Yin then immediately ordered everyone from the Great Eastern Alliance to retreat from the battlefield.
The Second Nightking and everyone else was similarly startled. Were they really supposed to just retreat?
Ya Mavis was also surprised. She had assumed that Lu Yin had invited Qing Hua to help the Great Eastern Alliance fight this war. Was that not the case?
No one could understand Lu Yin’s intentions, not even people like Liu Qianjue, who did not want to keep fighting. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Xu Qing was also stunned. Was Lu Yin really going to retreat?
On the other hand, Qing Hua showed no surprise. “Xu Qing, hand over your possessions!”
Even as the man spoke, his staff swung down.
Sword King was instantly enraged. “You old busybody! You dare to attack us on your own? You’re stepping into your own grave!”
Xu Qing and the Celestial Demon worked together to attack Qing Hua.
As for the Great Eastern Alliance, countless people turned to look at Lu Yin. Was he really not going to do anything at all?
Lu Yin quietly stared at the north as Qing Hua confronted the Astral Beast Domain’s various powerhouses on his own. How was he supposed to make a move, and why? Lu Yin’s agreement with Qing Hua had been for the Sixth Mainland to acquire Progenitor Wushang’s hide in exchange for them taking over the war with the Astral Beast Domain. As for how they acquired the hide, that was none of Lu Yin’s business.
Besides, Qing Hua was no fool. He was notoriously lazy, and despite the fact that he was not particularly interested in Progenitor Wushang’s hide, he had taken the initiative to try to take it. Clearly, someone had ordered him to do so.
Lu Yin was not the only one who had realized this, as many of the informed people thought the same, including Xu Qing.
Sword King and the Astral Beast Domain’s other powerhouses all ganged up on Qing Hua. Only the Void Wanderer elder stayed out of the fray, lurking in the void, as it kept a wary eye out.
