Chapter 1413 : Calling for Backup

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu nodded slightly and said, "Now that Lila and Violet Enchantress have broken through, our strength holds the advantage. Should we make our move immediately?" "Not yet." Eldrin shook his head, then responded, "While our current power gives us a slight edge over them, we still lack overwhelming superiority."

"In terms of pure mana density, my Earth Immortal First Layer cultivation and Lyra (Person Name) still cannot match these late-stage Earth Immortals. Should we fail to break this deadlock and become trapped in a protracted battle, I fear we would ultimately suffer the disadvantage."

Yan Ziqi also nodded slightly before speaking, "Since that's the case, we must go all out and invite a few close friends to emerge from seclusion and lend their aid."

Eldrin nodded and made his decision, declaring, "To prevent them from detecting anything unusual, we must act swiftly—so swiftly they won’t have time to react. I will head to the Netherrealm and the Abyssal Sea today, using the laws of space to conceal my movements as I summon them here."

Eldrin felt completely at ease about having people besiege the Celestial Alligator Clan and the Weihai Dragon Clan.

Having cultivated for 100,000 years, this was hardly the first time he resorted to calling for backup when outmatched.

He made friends far and wide, conducting himself with impartiality and never treating his fellow cultivators unfairly—was his purpose not to support 1 another through mutual aid?

Just as trouble descended, Eldrin immediately cast aside all pretenses of decorum. Using the laws of space to conceal his presence, he stealthily infiltrated the Old Ruins Ghost City.

After meeting with Jiuxu Yinjun, Eldrin let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Jiuxu, I’ve fallen victim to a scheme today and have come to you, thick-skinned, to ask for your help." "Oh?"

The Ancient Ruins Yin Lord was slightly taken aback, his brow furrowing slightly as he said, "With your level of power, there are likely few in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea who would dare to scheme against you." "Hmm."

Eldrin nodded and recounted the cause and effect of this journey to the Lord of the Old Ruins. After listening, the Lord of the Old Ruins furrowed his brow slightly and said, "I have heard of the Wei Sea Dragon Palace. At the peak of their lineage, it is said they once had a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal patriarch."

Over 40 1000 years ago, the master of the Weihai Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the Western Abyss, was slain while presiding over a grand formation. He fell to the Primordial Talisman of Taiyi wielded by the Profound Heart Divine Being, yet it remains unknown whether he left behind any contingency plans.

Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly at these words before he responded, "Given my current strength, even if he left behind contingencies, I should be more than capable of handling them."

At this point, Eldrin continued, "Rest assured, once this matter succeeds, I shall not treat you unfairly. Should there be any supreme-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures (Magic Treasure), you may freely choose 1 for yourself."

"There's no need for such formality."

Recalling how Eldrin (Person Name) had consistently supported his close companions, the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins (Person Name) gave a slow nod. "Given our friendship," he continued, "I will undoubtedly assist you with my full strength."

"However, I shall not take this treasure. I too have a great trial to overcome. Once this matter is settled, I ask for your assistance in return."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and said, "Since you, fellow cultivator, are willing to help me overcome this trial, I naturally cannot refuse your request either."

With that said, the 2 of them spoke no more.

Eldrin veiled the Yin Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins with void energy, stealthily escorting him back to the depths of the Returning Abyss Sea.

After returning to the Abyssal Sea, Eldrin journeyed through the Sky Abyss Sea, Earthspring Sea, and the Duskblaze Sea, successively retrieving the Sky Abyss Daoist, Earthspring Ancestor, and Heavenwind Daoist.

He alone had not visited Glazed Paradise, for his current relationship with them was known to all. Places like the Flowing Fire Star Palace would undoubtedly be closely monitoring everywhere except Glazed Paradise.

Once he entered the Glazed Paradise, the Sky Crocodile Clan would undoubtedly receive the news immediately. By then, if they fled straight into the boundless sea, even Eldrin (Person Name) would be utterly clueless.

To return to our story, with the aid of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) could traverse an entire sea in a single day.

With the added speed of the prismatic aurora, Eldrin, after fetching the Nether Lord of the Old Ruins, gathered all his close friends and brought them to the Sea of Returning Abyss within a mere 3 days.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief.

In this battle, to thoroughly resolve the nuisance of the Sky Crocodile Tribe, Eldrin went all out, summoning a total of 10 Earth Immortals.

The most powerful among them was Eldrin (Person Name), an Earth Immortal with combat prowess at the eighth level, followed by Lyra (Person Name), an Earth Immortal at the seventh level.

And those who had half a foot in the seventh level of Earth Immortal realm were 2 individuals: Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

Those possessing combat power at the Earth Immortal 6th Layer numbered 4: Daoist Tianyuan, Old Ruins Yinjun, Lila (Person Name), and Yan Ziji.

The remaining trio—Daoist Tianfeng, Daoist Liuchen, and Patriarch Diquan—all possessed strength at the early Earth Immortal stage.

Among the several half-step Earth Immortals, the 7 or 8 who were not in seclusion—including the Void Refining Immortal, Daoist Tianyu, the Master of the Dao Palace, and Lin Tianqi—were all summoned at this moment.

The third son, Chen Xianchang, who had remained within the clan and never ventured out into the world, was also sought out by Eldrin (Person Name) to join the battle.

In addition to these key figures of the Immortal Alliance, Eldrin urgently summoned 1 100 and 8 immortals. Each would wield a formation banner to deploy the Heaven-Sanctioning Array of Celestial Stems, Earthly Branches, and Stellar Constellations.

Such a formation, though incapable of confronting a late-stage Earth Immortal, was sufficient to seal heaven and earth, making it difficult even for mid-to-late-stage Earth Immortals to escape within a short time.

At this moment, the assembled immortals still didn't fully comprehend Eldrin's purpose for summoning them, yet they had already formed some speculations in their hearts. Unconsciously, their gazes turned toward Eldrin in unison.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "You are all pillars of the Immortal Alliance, so I shall not conceal today's matter from you."

"The Skycrocodile Tribe lurks beyond the Abyssal Sea, wantonly ambushing cultivators from our Paradise of Returning Abyss and its affiliated forces every day. They spare neither Nascent Soul cultivators, Spirit Severing experts, nor even mortals."

"To this day, 20-3 immortals from our Immortal Alliance have fallen, their flesh and blood essence completely devoured by them."

"Such depravity, disregarding all dignity to strike at low-level cultivators—as immortals of the Celestial Alliance, I ask you, should we not stand against this?" "We should!"

The immortals' eyes blazed with killing intent, their hatred for him etched deep within their bones. Ever since the Skycrocodile Clan began their relentless ambushes in the Sea of Returning Abyss, these years had been fraught with constant dread and vigilance. Now that Eldrin had finally stepped forward to take charge, they were more than eager to swiftly eradicate this scourge.

Witnessing this, Eldrin (Person Name) declared, "Today's battle is no trivial matter."

"In order to prevent any information leaks that might allow the Great Desolate Heaven Crocodile clan to ambush us prematurely, I will temporarily confiscate all your communication treasures." "Secondly, you must also swear a Heavenly Oath, vowing not to disclose any details of this battle."

Upon hearing this, the immortals immediately nodded in agreement.

They made a Heavenly Oath, then handed over their communication treasures 1 by 1.

Seeing this, Eldrin gave a slight nod and immediately had everyone conceal themselves within the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. Then, they quietly flew out of the Returning Abyss Sea.

They flew all the way to the Crimson Sunset Sea, arriving at the hidden immortal island of the Skycrocodile Clan.

Yet after a brief observation, Eldrin discovered the entire sea region was completely deserted.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but ask, "Has the news been leaked so soon?"
