Xia Yi's tone was icy. "My Seven Courts isn't afraid of Eternal Sky Island."
"There's no need for that. Besides, whether or not this child is being controlled by the Neohuman Alliance needs to be tested in the Glory Realm. If he isn't, then with this child's innate ability, he'll definitely become one of the Fifth Mainland's greatest protectors."
"My Seven Courts doesn't need his protection. A mere junior dares to speak to me like this? He might become an enemy in the future, not a friend."
"He's just a child. Why bother, Xia Family Head?"
"It's fine if you don't kill him, but teach him a lesson as a warning to others."
Xia Yi's attitude was firm. Lu Yin frowned and clenched his fists as he looked at Xia Jiuyou. Xia Jiuyou's expression was calm, as if all of this was a common occurrence. This was the Xia Family Head, someone who wouldn't even let his own son off.
"Brother Xia, there's no need to make things difficult for a junior. This child's words weren't directed at you. He might have been provoked by the Neohuman Alliance," Hui Zhi spoke up to stop Xia Yi.
Xia Yi looked at Hui Zhi, not understanding why he was speaking up for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at Hui Zhi as well.
Hui Zhi also looked at him with Hui Santong standing behind him.
Lu Yin knew that Hui Santong must have revealed Hui Kong's matter.
Mu En spoke up. "This child is a five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker from the Lockbreaker Society. Even if Xia Family Head doesn't care about the others, you still have to consider Geoffrey's reputation. He's very protective, and this child is the Master of the Outerverse and has helped the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society before. Geoffrey is indebted to him."
Xia Yi's eyes narrowed. Both Eternal Sky Island and the Lockbreaker Society were famous for their protective nature. Xia Yi could still tolerate Eternal Sky Island, but if the Lockbreaker Society was added to the mix, things would be different.
Those crazy lockbreakers were capable of anything.
You Kexin looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You're a five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes."
You Kexin's expression changed. "Since that's the case, Brother Xia, let him off for now. Don't bother with him."
Xia Yi was speechless. You Kexin was a Lockbreaker, and she had learned from Geoffrey in the past. Her protectiveness was too quick.
Mu En was also surprised, but he was already used to it. The Lockbreaker Society's motto was to protect their own, and the higher the level of a Lockbreaker, the more protective they would be. This was because only they knew what a Lockbreaker would face. Protecting their own was a tradition of the Lockbreaker Society.
Lu Yin blinked. He knew that the Lockbreaker Society was protective of its members, but he hadn't expected it to be to this extent. Joining the Lockbreaker Society had been the right move, as the Lockbreaker Society had helped him a lot throughout his cultivation journey.
Xia Yi stared at Lu Yin, "Junior, be careful what you say in the future."
Lu Yin met Xia Yi's gaze without fear.
Mu En looked at Lu Yin, "Why aren't you apologizing to the Xia Family Head?
He's an elder, so you should know what you're doing. "
Lu Yin was helpless, as he knew that Mu En was trying to help him. "Xia Family Head, I spoke too rashly."
Xia Yi snorted and clasped his hands behind his back.
As the head of the Seven Courts and the Xia Family Head, he had to consider many more things than the other family heads. Maintaining the stability of the Seven Courts was his top priority, so he naturally paid the most attention to Lu Yin's words. Of course, Lu Yin couldn't think of any other reasons. He could only think of two: the first was his responsibility as the Xia Family Head, and the second was that the person who had colluded with the Neohuman Alliance was most likely from the Xia Family. Otherwise, Xia Yi would not have reacted so strongly.
Regardless of the reason, it wasn't something that Lu Yin could interfere with.
"Did you absorb Progenitor Chen's blood in the Great Tomb?" Hui Zhi suddenly asked.
Lu Yin nodded.
"So that means that the phenomenon of breaking through to the Hunter realm came from you?" Ce Lao asked.
Lu Yin was confused, "Phenomenon?
I'm not sure. "
"It came from him," Ce Jiu said. They had all seen it.
Everyone gasped, and Mu En exclaimed, "If only you weren't controlled by the Neohuman Alliance."
Lu Yin pursed his lips, "I'm not being controlled, and I'm willing to be tested."
Mu En smiled, "That's good."
"Senior Presiding Judge, don't listen to him. Maybe the Neohuman Alliance has a way to pass the test," Ku Lei couldn't help but speak up.
Lu Yin looked at him like he was an idiot.
Ku Pu slapped Ku Lei's head, "Shut up! The Hall of Honor isn't something that you can talk about."
Ku Lei didn't know what he had said wrong.
Ku Wei stifled a laugh.
Mu En didn't mind. "He's just a child. There's no need to be so serious, Patriarch Ku." He then looked at Ku Lei sternly, "My Hall of Honor will always surpass the Neohuman Alliance. No matter what methods they use, they won't be able to pass the test. These are the words of the Hall of Honor."
Ku Lei knew where he had gone wrong. He had underestimated the Hall of Honor in front of everyone, which had boosted the Neohuman Alliance's momentum.
Everyone had many questions to ask Lu Yin, such as what he had experienced, what had changed after absorbing Progenitor Chen's blood, where the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters were, and so on. However, Mu En stopped them all, except for Xie Ahua's question.
"You said that that Specter brat entered Astral-10 from the Outerverse at the same time as you?
Was he at the same realm as you? "Xie Ahua asked.
This question was the beginning of everyone's suspicions about Lu Yin.
Lu Yin replied, "Yes. Seniors, if you have any doubts, you can ask Astral-10's mentors. I'm not lying."
Xie Ahua spoke with a complicated expression, "That's possible. That Silver isn't simple at all. The Specter Race is about to rise from the ashes again."
Lu Yin was curious.
Many of the juniors looked at Xie Ahua.
Even You Kexin and Ce Lao were puzzled.
In terms of understanding of the Specter Race, no one could compare to the She family.
Xie Ahua explained, "The Specter Race is like a reincarnation cycle. Every time they cultivate to a new realm, they can shed their bones and place them in death qi to cultivate. Their physical body will continue to grow. To put it bluntly, it's similar to the Nine Clones Technique, but it's also completely different. The reason why the She family opposes the Specter Race is because their bones are the best material for the She family to cultivate.
"However, normally, the Specter Race can only shed their bones when they reach the Enlighter realm. After a period of time, they can fuse with their bones, and their strength will multiply. Since Silver was able to shed his bones at such a young age, he might be even more powerful than you think."
Lu Yin wasn't surprised, as he didn't even know how powerful Silver was. He had never seen Silver use his full strength before, and he was always using his Butterfly Blade.
Silver had an indifferent expression, but the more Lu Yin thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Xia Luo was the exact opposite of Silver. He was gentle to everyone and acted as if everything was under his control. Similarly, no one knew what he was thinking.
Silver and Xia Luo had both come from Earth. One cultivated the Specter Race's technique, which allowed him to transform his bones, while the other cultivated the Nine Clones Technique.
Lu Yin felt strange, as these two were like opposites to each other.
Speaking of which, those who had come from Earth were not simple: Lulu Mavis, Lu Yin, Silver, Xia Luo, Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue, and Liu Shaoge, who had gone missing from Jupiter.
Earth had produced a group of strange geniuses.
Although the Seven Courts was one of the Three Dark Hands, that was only because of Progenitor Chen's tomb.
When it came to dealing with the Neohuman Alliance, the Hall of Honor had always been the ruler of the Human Domain.
The Seven Courts had many questions for Lu Yin, but in the end, Lu Yin was still taken away by Mu 'en. He had to undergo a test, and if he failed, he would be directly erased by the Hall of Honor.
Ku Wei wanted to follow, but Ku Lei had already reported to Ku Pu, who did not even give Ku Wei a chance to speak.
Lu Yin was going to undergo a test, and he didn't even have the qualifications to communicate with the outside world, let alone bring Ku Wei along. However, Mu 'en had told him that there would be people from Eternal Sky Island present during the test, which reassured Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was taken to the Glory Realm by Mu 'en, and at this moment, Young Master Tian was looking at the Outerverse from the Astral River Ark. They were about to arrive.
Very few people knew that the Sixth Mainland would be relocated to the Sixth Mainland in the future.
Young Master Tian had come to the Outerverse to gain experience and prepare to enter the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor in the future.
His status as a Master of the Outerverse would allow him to have a rather illustrious resume.
Not many people in the Innerverse knew about his status, but Young Master Tian had specifically told the Blaze Realm about it to show off his influence. The Blaze Realm had even sent many experts to protect him, even though Young Master Tian did not need any protection.
"Young Master Tian, here's your fishing rod," one of the Blaze Realm's experts said politely as he handed over the fishing rod.
Young Master Tian accepted it. He had heard of Astral River Fishing many times, and he had wanted to try it for a long time.
Many people said that Astral River Fishing was dangerous and that one should not attempt it unless one was an Enlighter. However, Young Master Tian did not mind, as there were two powerhouses with power levels of over 400,000 around him.
No one knew what was in the Astral River, but Young Master Tian's luck was pretty good, and he managed to catch a few strange fish.
In the distance, there was another person fishing. It was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a serious expression.
Ever since the Astral River Ark had been returned by the Great Eastern Alliance, it had been opened to the public, and the Innerverse and Outerverse were now connected. However, due to the Hall of Honor, no one from the Innerverse had caused trouble for the Great Eastern Alliance.
"Kid, you're pretty lucky to be able to catch fish," the dark-faced man praised Young Master Tian with a smile.
Young Master Tian proudly replied, "It's just Astral River Fishing. It's not that interesting."
The dark-faced man's face immediately sank, and he stopped talking.
Young Master Tian ignored him as well. Behind him, an old man spoke up, "Young Master, this person is not weak."
Young Master Tian was astonished. "Not weak?
How powerful is he? "
The old man glanced at the dark-faced man. "A conservative estimate is that his power level exceeds 300,000."
Young Master Tian was shocked. "You can casually encounter such a powerhouse in a desolate place like the Innerverse and Outerverse?"
He then glanced at the dark-faced man and said to the old man, "Invite Old Freak Chi over."
Soon, the Blaze Realm's Old Freak Chi arrived. Although he had a power level of over 400,000, he was still very respectful towards the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor. "Young Master Tian, you were looking for me?"
Young Master Tian smiled, and the old man explained what had just happened.
Old Freak Chi glanced at the dark-faced man and said to Young Master Tian, "There's a group of people who fish in the Astral River all year round. They're very interested in the creatures in the Astral River, and they call themselves the Fishermen's Club."
"I see." Young Master Tian understood. Those who could fish in the Astral River were naturally not weak. However, he did not think much of them, as there were many experts with power levels of 300,000 to 400,000 in the Neoverse.
