Long Ke fell silent for a while. "It seems you won't listen to me, no matter what."
Lu Yin said, "I, Long Qi, have no intention of opposing the clan head. If Elder Long Quan really is a Red Back, then capturing him is my duty."
Long Ke's gaze flickered, dark and terrifying, but he said nothing.
Just then, Lu Yin's Cloud Communication Stone vibrated. He raised it, and a line of text appeared: "Reinforce the Second Formation Base, clear out the Terror Ants, capture the Dark Son—Xiao."
At the same time, Qing Chen tore through the void and stepped out, his expression stern as he looked at Lu Yin. "Long Qi, come with me to report to the Second Formation Base on the Backside Battlefield immediately."
Long Ke frowned. "Senior Qing Chen, does Long Qi need to go to the battlefield?"
Qing Chen said, "This concerns a mission from the Cold Gate. I can't discuss the details."
Lu Yin frowned. He had been to large-scale battlefields more than once—the Iron Blood Territory, the Endless Territory, the Cosmic Sea, and others. One careless moment on those battlefields could cost him his life. The battlefields in this starry sky were even more terrifying, involving Progenitor-level powerhouses. He didn't want to die for this starry sky—not yet, at least.
"Governor Lord, I'm the Cold Gate's Huai Yuan branch master. Surely a branch master doesn't need to go to the battlefield in person?" Lu Yin said, trying to refuse.
Qing Chen said gravely, "Your assignment came from the Governor Lord himself."
Lu Yin was shocked, and his heart sank. This was trouble. With the Governor Lord issuing the order personally, he had to go whether he wanted to or not.
Long Ke was equally astonished. He hadn't expected the Cold Gate's Governor Lord
