The next day, Lu Yin was summoned alone to meet with Gong Ling alone. 

“Alliance Leader Lu, I neglected you yesterday,” Gong Ling courteously apologized to Lu Yin as soon as they met.

Lu Yin respectfully replied, “Where are these words coming from, Senior?”

Gong Ling studied Lu Yin. “Alliance Leader Lu is not even thirty this year, correct?”

Lu Yin nodded. 

“How young and promising. When I was as old as Alliance Leader Lu, I could not even dream of competing for a position in the Top 100 Rankings. Alliance Leader Lu has already gained so many accolades, and given ten more years, perhaps all of the eastern weaves will be under the authority of Alliance Leader Lu.” Gong Ling smiled. 

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “Senior is exaggerating your praise. My success stems not from any special abilities that I may have. Rather, it is because I have various friends who have given me help. That, combined with certain external threats, has all contributed to how I developed into the me of today.”

Gong Ling was curious. “External threats? Is Alliance Leader Lu referring to the Astral Beast Domain?” 

Lu Yin looked at the older man. “Has Sect Leader ever heard of the Sixth Mainland?”

Gong Ling’s expression changed, and he blurted out, “How do you know about that?”

Lu Yin’s gaze turned deep. “I’m more curious as to how Sect Leader knows about it.”

The secret of the Sixth Mainland...
