Old Ghost Bai snorted. "Don't be so self-important. The reason the Progenitors haven't appeared is that they don't want the Abandoned Land to be destroyed and the Eternal Clan to get what they want. But if you really insist on courting death, the Four Sides Heavenly Balance will make you regret it."
"Now isn't the time for infighting. The Seven Gods Heaven can still come and go as it pleases. We don't mind—we can always leave the Abandoned Land. But what about you?

Old Ghost Bai sneered. "What a joke. You think you can? A Progenitor could crush you with a wave of his hand."

Lu Yin looked at Xia De. Xia De must have promised him something; otherwise, Xia Ji wouldn't have made a move.
