He did not ask about Zhuo Daynight's situation. She was Nightking Yuanjing's disciple, but she had continued to follow Nightking Zhenwu. It was obvious that Nightking Yuanjing had abandoned her. Perhaps Nightking Yuanjing did not know that Zhuo Daynight had comprehended Night's End, Daybreak, but none of this was important. With Nightking Zhenwu's current status in the Daynight clan, he would not be able to touch Nightking Yuanjing.
He never thought that the fact that he had obtained an inheritance stone would be exposed. These ancient great clans had too deep of a foundation, and the things they possessed were also inconceivable.
With the Daynight clan threatening him, Lu Yin activated his gadget and contacted Wang Wen.
He spoke with Wang Wen for more than two hours. After ending the call with Wang Wen, he directly contacted Elder Big Drum.
"Alliance Master Lu, don't worry. Master Yuan has already contacted the Hall of Honor, and they are well aware of your contributions to the Outerverse. Nightking Zhenwu's accusation that you are a traitor from the Fifth Mainland has already been dismissed. At the same time, your status in the Hall of Honor has also been confirmed," Elder Big Drum said.
Lu Yin relaxed. "Thank you, Elder. Thank you, Master Yuan."
Elder Big Drum had a strange look in his eyes. "I never thought that Alliance Master Lu would encounter something like that in the Innerverse."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "This is what happens when you offend the Daynight clan. Nightking Zhenwu once said that anyone who offends the Daynight clan will not have a good ending."
"Hmph, what arrogance." Elder Big Drum was dissatisfied. No matter what kind of impression he had of Lu Yin, Lu Yin had still made great contributions to the Outerverse, and the commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces had actually been accused of being a spy from the Fifth Mainland. If this accusation was proven to be true, then Elder Big Drum, as well as everyone in the Outerverse, including Master Yuan, would become a huge joke.
When he saw Elder Big Drum's dissatisfied expression, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. "Elder, may I ask what Nightking Zhenwu's position in the Hall of Honor is?"
The Ten Arbiters had all been enfeoffed by the Hall of Honor, and their authority came from the organizations behind them as well as from the Hall of Honor's conferment. Otherwise, how could they have the authority to influence the younger generation of the Innerverse and Outerverse?
Elder Big Drum shook his head. "I'm not sure. I've always been in the Endless Weaves, so I don't know much about the Innerverse. However, I do know that there are members of the Daynight clan in the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "How does his status compare to Master Yuan's?"
Elder Big Drum laughed. "Of course it can't be compared."
"That's good." Lu Yin relaxed, as he now had Master Yuan as his backer. As long as the person behind Nightking Zhenwu did not have a higher status than Master Yuan, then Lu Yin was not afraid of the Hall of Honor.
After ending his conversation with Elder Big Drum, Lu Yin chatted with Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua for a long time before contacting Xi Yue. Half a day later, he contacted Madam Nalan.
He hadn't spoken to Madam Nalan for a long time.
Within the screen, Madam Nalan was still as alluring as ever. Out of all the women that Lu Yin had ever met, her incorporeal charm was the greatest, and she was the most alluring to him.
"What a rare guest. I wonder what instructions Alliance Master Lu of the Great Eastern Alliance has for my daughter?" Madam Nalan smiled as she looked at Lu Yin with sparkling eyes.
Lu Yin felt awkward.
That's not a good word!
"Ahem, Madam, long time no see," Lu Yin said.
Madam Nalan chuckled. "Yes, long time no see. Ever since Alliance Master Lu's meteoric rise and you took control of the Outerverse, old friends like us no longer dare to contact Alliance Master Lu. We're afraid that others will misunderstand and think that we're trying to curry favor with Alliance Master Lu."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "Madam, don't make fun of me. What Outerverse authority? That was given to me by someone else. Madam, you should know that without the Hall of Honor, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current level no matter how capable I am."
Madam Nalan sat on the sofa and crossed one leg, revealing her snow-white skin that dazzled Lu Yin. "Alliance Master Lu, that's not right. Before the Sixth Mainland invaded, the Great Eastern Alliance had already made a move on one of the central weaves. Now, not only have you unified the Outerverse, but two of the four major corporations have also submitted to you. One of them doesn't dare to offend Alliance Master Lu, and the other one is me. It seems like Alliance Master Lu has designs on my Nalan family."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Madam, can't you speak properly?
You and I are friends, and you're my savior. No matter what, I won't do anything to you. "
Madam Nalan smiled and raised her wine cup. "Then I'll thank Alliance Head Lu here. Cheers!" She downed the wine in her cup in one gulp.
She licked her red lips and then set down her cup. "Alliance Master Lu, are you looking for me for something?"
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "Nothing important. I just wanted to ask about the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Daynight clan."
Madam Nalan was astonished. "Why are you asking about this?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "I received news that someone is planning to attack the Daynight clan."
Madam Nalan's eyes flashed. "Who is it?"
"The news isn't confirmed, so I can't tell you."
Madam Nalan blinked. "The First Flowzone where the Sword Sect is located is adjacent to the Daynight clan's Daynight Flowzone. Even though there's a Astral River Tributary ark in between, the two sides rarely come into contact. There are also other smaller flowzones where the two flowzones intersect, and the competition for resources is more intense."
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. If the Daynight clan is in trouble, what will the Sword Sect's stance be?"
Madam Nalan smiled as she approached the screen and met Lu Yin's gaze. "What does Alliance Master Lu hope for the Sword Sect's stance?"
Lu Yin laughed. "I have a grudge with the Daynight clan, so I naturally hope that the Sword Sect will kick us while we're down."
Madam Nalan sighed. "Then I'll have to disappoint Alliance Master Lu."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "What do you mean?"
"Firstly, I don't have the ability to influence the Sword Sect. Secondly, both sides are great powers that can influence the Innerverse, so they can't casually use force. Even if there are conflicts, they'll be under control. Even if the Daynight clan is in trouble, the Sword Sect won't be able to do anything. The older generation is also worried that the Daynight clan will kick them while they're down if the Sword Sect is in trouble. This is an unspoken rule."
Lu Yin understood. At the level of the Sword Sect and the Daynight clan, there were some things that could not be done casually. They had to consider the repercussions of their actions, not just on both sides, but also on the surrounding flowzones. For example, the Beast Tamers Flowzone was not far from the Sword Sect. If something happened to the Daynight clan, what would the Beast Tamers Flowzone think?
What would the smaller flowzones around the Sword Sect think?
Furthermore, the upper echelons of both sides in the Hall of Honor would also be affected. This was the big picture, and a slight move would affect the entire situation.
A colossus like the Daynight clan could not be destroyed in an instant. If the Sword Sect were to kick them while they were down, there was a possibility that they would suffer a backlash, and their losses would not be small. No one dared to make such a decision.
Lu Yin smiled at Madam Nalan. "I understand. I just suddenly received this news and wanted to share it with my wife."
Madam Nalan smiled, but her gaze was much more serious. "Alliance Master Lu, how confident are you in dealing with the person who will act against the Daynight clan?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "Probably not even 10%."
He was indeed not confident. After all, a colossus like the Daynight clan could not be destroyed so easily.
Madam Nalan's expression became much more serious. "Then I hope that Alliance Master Lu can pass on a message to that person to not act rashly. The Daynight clan is not that simple."
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, I'll pass on the message."
"Also," Madam Nalan muttered to herself as she stared into Lu Yin's eyes. "I'm not sure if Alliance Master Lu has ever heard of this saying: since ancient times, it has been easier to break into a fortress from the inside than from the outside."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up as a thought flashed through his mind. "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Madam." He then hung up. After thinking about it for a moment, he dialed a number that he had barely contacted before.
At the same time, in the Innerverse's Daynight Flowzone, the Frostmoon Sect had received a call with Yue Xianzi. After a brief conversation, Elder Lin was shocked. "Lu Yin wants us to seal our sect as much as possible?
What does that mean? "
Yue Xianzi did not understand. "He said that someone might act against the Daynight clan in the future. If we don't want to be implicated, then we should seal our sect as much as possible and not get involved in anything."
Elder Lin was puzzled. "Isn't he afraid that we'll report this to the Daynight clan?"
Yue Xianzi remained silent.
Elder Lin moved, as Lu Yin was using Yue Xianzi as a hostage. Yue Xianzi was the junior sect master of the Frostmoon Sect and had received a large portion of the sect's resources. She had also comprehended an ancient battle technique in the Astral Combat Academy's realm and was one of the rare geniuses in the Frostmoon Sect's history. It was not worth it to give up Yue Xianzi for a mere reward.
"Understood. I'll let the sect master know," Elder Lin said.
Yue Xianzi hung up with a complicated expression. From the moment Lu Yin had spoken to her, she had understood that she had become a hostage. She had never imagined that she would one day become a hostage.
Lu Yin was too bold to act against the Daynight clan. That was the Daynight clan, an unimaginably large ancient clan. No one knew what kind of powerhouses they had, so where had he gotten such courage from?
Yue Xianzi shook her head and did not think about it any further. She did not believe that Lu Yin would act against the Daynight clan; it might have been someone else.
On the other side, An Shaohua from Watermoon Villa was also being used as a hostage, and he was very depressed. He had always wanted to rely on Lu Yin, but Lu Yin had not been of much use to him. An Shaohua valued Lu Yin's future achievements, as this person would definitely become one of the Ten Arbiters in the future.
Lu Yin's conversation with An Shaohua was different from Yue Xianzi's. He hoped that the Frostmoon Sect would be sealed off, as it was located in the Daynight Flowzone. It would be unrealistic for them to rely on the Daynight clan, but Watermoon Villa was different.
He hoped that Watermoon Villa would do their best to restrain the Xun family and prevent them from sending reinforcements to the Daynight clan. Of course, this was only a hope, as the Daynight clan might not even need reinforcements.
Lu Yin was not worried that these people would inform the Daynight clan, as the result would be the same. The Daynight clan was there, and their defenses were as such.
Lu Yin had not only approached Watermoon Villa, but also Myriad Swords Peak and the Souldream Tribe. Wendy Yushan was at Myriad Swords Peak, and as for the Souldream Tribe, Lu Yin had shown them great kindness. If not for him, the Souldream Tribe would have been sent to the Sixth Mainland as slaves.
Originally, Lu Yin had not expected that he would be able to destroy the Daynight clan with his current strength. All he wanted to do was create an opportunity for him to have a fair battle with Nightking Zhenwu without being disturbed by the Daynight clan's experts.
However, Madam Nalan's words had allowed Lu Yin to see the situation clearly. He wanted to give it a try, regardless of whether he succeeded or not.
In the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds, one of the figures guarding the stone tablet opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction. There, Hui Daynight was bowing deeply at the waist.
The figure was shocked, stood up, and left.
The person in the middle did not seem to mind, and his eyes remained closed.
