Chapter 1897: Painful News

The war between the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain had raged on for more than a month, and during this time, the Great Eastern Alliance’s defenses had undergone a complete change.

The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Divisions had moved to replace the Second, Third, and Fourth Divisions. The Allied Forces remained stationed in the eastern weaves of the Outerverse, and they kept a wary eye on the war to the west.

Lu Yin had vanished for more than a month. He had publicly announced that he was in seclusion, but no one, not even Shui Chuanxiao, knew where he had gone. All anyone knew was that Lu Yin had left.

When Lu Yin returned, he brought more than four million lesser giants back with him.

Shui Chuanxiao stared blankly at the numerous lesser giants. “Did you just take a trip to pick at the Sixth Mainland?”

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. “Of course not. This is just a coincidence.”

“A coincidence led you to bringing back more than four million people?” Shui Chuanxiao gave Lu Yin an odd look. It was as though the commander viewed Lu Yin as some sort of thief.

Lu Yin waved a hand dismissively as he handed the lesser giants over to Shui Chuanxiao so that the man could make proper arrangements. It was impossible to incorporate the lesser giants into the Allied Forces for the moment, but they could still be added to a division.

All of the lesser giants were members of the Arrow Sect, which meant that all of them were cultivators. Naturally, most of the Arrow Sect’s members had not even been Explorers, but the ones who had made it across the battlefield to be collected by Lu Yin had all been Explorers at the very least. Man Li had also officially joined the Great Eastern Alliance, which filled the empty spot left behind by Emperor Luo’s death.

The arrival of the lesser giants also drew the attention of the colossal giants. Both of them were giants, and there seemed to be some sort of innate connection that they could sense.

Nearly half of the Arrow Sect’s surviving members had been taken away from the battlefield, weakening the Sixth Mainland’s position and increasing the pressure that they were facing. Still, the battlefield was mainly in the central weaves, and the Sixth Mainland was able to send more reinforcements over at almost any time.

A few days later, Xu Qing reached out to Lu Yin once more, asking about the chaos that Lu Yin claimed was going to affect the Sixth Mainland.

All Lu Yin could do was offer a bit of comfort, which led to Xu Qing delivering more threats before hanging up.

Several days after that, Xu Qing called Lu Yin yet again. The astral beast commander was becoming truly anxious.

There was no longer any other choice, so Lu Yin quickly made a call. “Old man, you can start now.”

Kui Luo answered Lu Yin through the call, “Boy, you owe me big for this one.”

The call instantly cut off.

…

The war between the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain had gone on for two months without a single day of rest now. The entire Fifth Mainland was focused on this war.

Only the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain were capable of sustaining such a pace and such casualties. If the Great Eastern Alliance were to fight with such abandon, then forget two months—they would not be able to endure for even half a month.

The astral beast horde had received a tremendous number of reinforcements from the Celestial Beast Empire during this time, and the Sixth Mainland was trying to use the war to redirect internal conflicts into an external one while simultaneously eliminating certain instabilities that had arisen from cleansing the Progenitor of Secret Arts Territory.

There was no end in sight for this war.

The Outerverse’s Sacred Weave was currently being occupied by the Sage Martial Realm’s Meng clan. They were practitioners of the miraculous Dream Sutra that allowed most of them to train and cultivate in their sleep. This was a normal occurrence for the Meng clan.

When Meng Qiye woke up, someone delivered a report regarding the war in Armament Weave. The man gained a headache from the report because it also informed him that the Meng clan was being required to send reinforcements to the battlefield.

It was also clear that this war was not as simple as it first appeared to be. This was the first time in countless years that the Astral Beast Domain had gained an opportunity to invade the Outerverse, and they were taking advantage of the inner turmoil that had riddled the Sixth Mainland. The astral beasts were putting their full efforts into this war, and anyone who was sent to the battlefield could be considered unlucky. Everyone hoped to avoid that place.

Meng Erye had disappeared, and Meng Qiye had no idea where the man had gone, but Meng Erye’s absence meant that Men Qiye was solely responsible for the Meng clan. As a result, his life of sleep and dreaming had been ripped away from him.

There was a beep from his gadget.

Meng Qiye glanced down at it and frowned. He was still not very used to using these gadgets, though he did have to admit that they were extremely convenient. However, when the man saw the message that he had received, his pupils shrank, and he released a roar that shook the universe.

The entire Meng clan was startled by this, including Meng Fuzi, the clan’s ancestor.

Meng Fuzi was staring at his own gadget’s display at this moment, and it was showing two old men who were moving in a casual manner and each of them walked into a room. There was a woman in each of the rooms, deep asleep on a bed. One of the old men laughed as he disrobed, and the other man quickly did the same.

The two old men were in the Meng clan.

While the members of the Meng clan trained in the Dream Sutra, they were not really any different from other people while cultivating. Any disturbance or sudden movement would instantly wake them up, and it was impossible for anyone to suffer such abuse without noticing.

The two old men left one room and moved on to another. They moved about as comfortably as though they were wandering about their own home. Meng Fuzi’s entire body quivered, and his breath grew ragged.

“The Meng clan really is a paradise for us, Brother, hahahaha!”

“This is the life! If not for the fact that we both trained in Deep Meditation, how could we be so comfortable? Not even that old man Meng Fuzi can notice a thing. We’ve managed to enjoy all of the Meng clan’s beauties over the years, and who knows how many of their descendants belong to us! Hahahaha.”

“We’ve had a good time here, but Meng Fuzi could break through to become a Cosmic Imprinter any time. After that, he might notice us. It’d be best to move on to the Mojiang clan. That little girl there’s grown up, and she’d be fun to go visit.”

“We can also go back to Justice Manor.”

“Are your tastes that strange? All those women in Justice Manor have corpse puppets.”

“It just adds to the novelty, haha.”

…

Puff-

Meng Fuzi spat out blood, and his face grew pale. His eyes were even protruding from his head due to his anger. “Green and White Sages, I’ll make sure to kill you! Puff.”

“Ancestor!” Meng Qiye was shocked at the old man’s condition, and he hurried over to help Meng Fuzi.

The Meng clan were not the only people to receive this video, as nearly all of the Sixth Mainland’s powerhouses had received the same message. Everyone felt their scalps go numb as they watched the video.

The two old men were elders from the Daosource Sect, and due to their excellent synergy and the fact that they always wore green and white clothes, they were known as the Green and White Sages. They typically looked simple and relaxed, and when combined with their strength as World Imprinters, they gave others the impression of being true experts. No one had expected them to be such lowlifes.

Not only had the two violated the women of the Meng clan, but they had also mentioned both the Mojiang clan and Justice Manor. Their behavior and words showed that the three were absolutely not the only victims. Just how many families in the Sixth Mainland had these two preyed upon?

Any family that the Green and White Sages had visited before felt horrified by the video. What else might have happened when the two old men visited them?

This single message stirred up the entire Sixth Mainland.

The Green and White Sages had been far away in Southside Weave, and they also received the message. Their expression instantly changed when they saw the contents of the video, and they immediately fled the Daosource Sect. Who could have sent that video? Who had been spying on them? Not only had they been recorded while visiting the Meng clan, but even their voices had been captured. Whoever was behind this was a powerhouse, and that meant that they were being targeted by a monster.

In a restaurant on a busy street on a perfectly average planet in the Outerverse, Kui Luo let out a bizarre laugh that was so disturbing that many people started to move away due to their discomfort.

Even the owner of the restaurant went out to warn Kui Luo to keep his voice down.

Across from Kui Luo sat four people: Madam Hong, Xiao Qing, Meng Erye, and Yang Kong. Actually, after the Progenitor of Secret Arts had been exposed as a traitor, Yang Kong’s identity had been undeniably revealed as Bu Kong.

At this time, Meng Erye’s entire body was trembling from rage as he watched the video. He was truly furious.

“Hey, little guy, don’t rock the table! You’re bothering me.” Kui Luo let out the same creepy laugh again.

Meng Erye clenched his fists. “Senior, can you let this junior return? You’ve exposed those two beasts, and my Meng clan will do our absolute best to repay you for this matter.”

Kui Luo sneered. “What can your puny Meng clan do to repay me? You might even be one of those two old men’s whelps, haha.”

Meng Erye became even more enraged, but even though he glared at Kui Luo, he did not dare to say a word.

Bu Kong appeared perfectly calm. Such matters did not concern him at all. His identity had been exposed, and it would make perfect sense for anyone from the Sixth Mainland to curse and hate him, but none of that mattered. As far as Bu Kong was concerned, the only thing that he needed to worry about was how to escape from this old man.

The old monster was a Semi-Progenitor.

Xiao Qing blushed even as she heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had not spent much time with the Meng clan, and her master was also one of the Four Empyreans, which meant that those two old perverts would never have dared to touch her. How could she bear to live if things had gone differently?

Kui Luo suddenly turned to stare at Madam Hong. “Girl, you look like something’s wrong. What is it? Did those two perverts also move against you?”

Everyone instantly turned to look at Madam Hong, and she quickly replied, “No, I have never been in contact with the Green and White Sages.”

“Really?” Kui Luo asked, suddenly very interested.

Madam Hong shrugged. “Really. Still, this is too shocking.”

Kui Luo let out his odd laugh again. “Shocking? This is nowhere near enough, not yet! Hahahaha, let’s keep going!”

Even as he spoke, he sent out another message.

The Green and White Sages’ behavior had thoroughly enraged the entire Meng clan, and Meng Fuzi contacted the Daosource Sect and demanded that the two World Imprinters be handed over to him and killed.

When Semi-Progenitor Jiu Yao learned of what had happened, the Green and White Sages had already escaped from the Daosource Sect. Kui Luo had actually sent the two old men the message first before sharing it with other people. This had been deliberate, as it allowed the two old men to escape, which incited even greater chaos.

Jiu Yao was utterly furious. If he had known of this matter before, he would have captured the two men and carved them up as an example. However, he had no idea where the two had fled to. They were both World Imprinters, and it would be very difficult to track such experts down.

Suddenly, another bit of news leaked out. It was another video, though this one was of an old man and a middle-aged man. Many people recognized the middle-aged man as Fan Yu, an Imprinter and the Fan family’s patriarch. As for the old man, only some of the oldest powerhouses recognized him.

The old man was Fan Chen, the Fan family’s grand elder. He was also a Cosmic Imprinter.

Only during Fan Yu’s generation had the Fan family started to decline.

“Even after all this time, you still can’t break through and become a World Imprinter. Are you not receiving enough resources from the family? How many times have I taught you how to better absorb stellular energy? If you want women, the family will provide you with thousands. Is that what you want? If it’s sword techniques, then I’ll scour the Sixth Mainland and ask my friends to help you find one that’s most suitable for you. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to capture the Cloud Valley’s previous master, Jian Zhibei, and force him to cough up the Cloud Valley’s sword technique to you. What more do you want from me?

“Recently, my Progenitor of Secret Arts Territory has suffered a purge, and our family is in danger. If anything happens to me, how will you be able to protect the Brahman Realm when you don’t even have the strength of a World Imprinter?”

The middle-aged man started to panic. “Elder, the Cloud Valley’s sword technique is truly not very suitable for me. Perhaps the Higher Temple’s sword technique would be a better match for me.”

Fan Chen angrily snapped, “The Higher Temple is protected by Mr. Lifeview, one of the Four Empyreans! Do you want me to try to deal with him?”

The middle-aged man’s voice dropped low. “The rumors say that Mr. Lifeview never returned after he went into Burial Garden. It’s been sealed off now, and no one can get in or out. The Higher Temple is nothing more than a name right now.”

Fan Chen considered this information for a moment. “Wait a bit longer. If Mr. Lifeview does not show himself within a year, I’ll go to the Higher Temple to get you their sword technique.”

“Thank you, Elder.”
