Elder Gong had sought out not just Lu Yin, but also the Glory Hall and the other major powers. His only goal was to protect as many of the hunted as possible. The Eastern Frontier Alliance now covered a vast territory, so he had contacted Lu Yin for the same reason.
Lu Yin immediately gave the order: experts within the Eastern Frontier Alliance were to mobilize, search for the Dried Corpses, and protect anyone they were hunting. They were to protect them whether or not they had joined the alliance.
These people might be the key to reconnecting with the ancient past.
Though the Eastern Frontier Alliance spanned a vast territory and had many experts, it could not possibly command those Star Envoy-level powerhouses. Although the Sword Sect and the other factions had joined the alliance, they had only joined; they were not entirely under Lu Yin's command. If any of the Ancient Bloodlines they protected had an inheritance, they would never hand it over to Lu Yin.
So Lu Yin did not directly order the Sword Sect and the other factions to act. Instead, he told Liu Qianjue and the others the situation as it was. With potential benefits driving them, they would act more decisively and quickly. That was better than letting these inheritances be lost to the Dried Corpses.
Lu Yin also asked Elder Gong where the Dried Corpses had come from. Elder Gong gave him an answer that was both expected and unexpected: the Eternal Clan.
The Eternal Clan had only Corpse Kings. Where had these Dried Corpses, capable of tracking down Ancient Bloodlines, come from?
Elder Gong eventually named one person: Undying God of the Seven Gods Heaven.
Undying God was one of the Seven Gods Heaven, every member of which had an extraordinary past.
