The Progenitor of Blood watched the starry sky collapse. "A Progenitor has descended. How could I not come?" He looked at Lu Yin. "Though I've nearly fallen out of the Progenitor realm, I can still delay him for a little while. If anything happens, leave immediately when I tell you to."
"Senior—" Lu Yin started to say, but the Progenitor of Blood raised a hand to stop him. "You can borrow Ancestor Chen's power, but do you know that even Ancestor Chen wouldn't find it easy to deal with another of the Nine Mountains Eight Seas? You're only borrowing his power; that doesn't make you Ancestor Chen. Lu Yin, you're the most gifted human I've ever met. I firmly believe that one day you'll be no weaker than Ancestor Chen. You might even reach the level of an Ancient Ancestor. With you, humanity has hope."
"I'm not doing this for you, but for humanity. Do your best to survive. Someone half-crippled like me should do what he can while he still can. Besides, I hope to leave some goodwill behind for the Sixth Continent."
Lu Yin was full of admiration. "Senior, your open-mindedness is admirable. But I have more than one plan for dealing with Xia Shenji."
The Progenitor of Blood was surprised. "You have someone else helping you? Or a rare treasure?"
Of course it wasn't a rare treasure. Xia Shenji had long been on guard against something like the Slippers. If Lu Yin tried to catch him off guard with them, only to fail and have the Slippers stolen, that would be a terrible loss.
With a mournful roar, the Prison Dragon crashed to the ground. Several massive chains bound it, leaving it unable to move. E Chi swung his blade upward, trailing an indistinct blur of shadows.
