Half a month passed. The slaughter in the western territories of the Outer Universe had never stopped. By the estimates, more than a hundred Corpse Kings had been killed. They were all Corpse Kings that roamed the stars, and some had even reached the level of an Astral Envoy. The Sixth Continent had suffered significant losses as well.
Even the battlefield in the Iron Blood Territory had been affected, since many of the cultivators now fighting the Giant Beast Starfield came from the Qiuhan Family.
At the Sword Sect's mountain gate in the Inner Universe, Liu Qianjue sat quietly fishing. Elder Li came over. "Sect Master, are we really going to let the Eastern Frontier Alliance enter the Yan Lan Flow Realm?"
"What else can we do?" Liu Qianjue replied calmly.
Elder Li fell silent. He didn't know what they could do either, but the Eastern Frontier Alliance was now in one of its rare moments of weakness, and he felt they ought to take some action.
"Enough. You may go," Liu Qianjue said calmly.
Elder Li bowed, then left.
Liu Qianjue raised his rod and hauled up a huge Strange Fish. He glanced at it, frowned, and tossed it away. This fish wouldn't taste good.
Now that the Eastern Frontier Alliance had been forced out of the Outer Universe, he also wanted to do something. But it was the Sixth Continent that was pressuring the Alliance. If he acted now, it would be like cooperating with the Sixth Continent. Given Lu Yin's influence in the Glory Hall, the Sword Sect could easily be accused of colluding with the Sixth Continent.
The Glory Hall represented the prevailing power of the Fifth Continent, and Lu Yin wielded that power. The Sword Sect couldn't afford to make a mistake on an issue
