"It's impossible for you to check the Mavis Bank's records. Even the Mavis Family members don't have the authority to do so, let alone you. If the information is leaked, the consequences will be dire, and no one will be able to bear the consequences. You might even have to bear the wrath of the Mavis Family," Sister Fei warned Lu Yin. After all, this concerned the Mavis Bank's reputation, which was worth far more than a billion star essence.
Lu Yin nodded helplessly. "I understand. Thank you, Sister Fei."
Sister Fei nodded. "You've gotten back the 100 million that you bet, and you even made a small profit. It's not a loss, so don't take it to heart."
Lu Yin pursed his lips, as he had actually been enlightened by a pirate. "I understand, Sister Fei."
He hung up, and behind him, Ku Wei was still unsatisfied. "Seventh Bro, are we just going to let those bastards off?
They actually dared to steal our money! They must be tired of living! "
"Who do you think can borrow a billion star essence from the Mavis Bank at once?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei shook his head. "There are plenty of people like that. The eight great flowzones of the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, the Neoverse, and even the Hall of Honor have people who can do it, including you. With your current status, it's very easy for you to borrow a billion star essence from the Mavis Bank."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, as he had almost forgotten about that. Right, he could borrow some money himself, and he could give it a try if he ever needed money.
Of the 360 million star essence that Sister Fei had obtained from the bets, 160 million were transported back to Leon's Armada in the Cosmic Sea. The remaining 200 million were given to Lu Yin to be transported directly to the Blaze Realm.
As a result, Lu Yin's total assets reached 700 million star essence, of which 100 million was from his previous bet.
700 million star essence was a sum that he had never obtained before. He was too rich, too rich. No, he had to keep a low profile. He had to keep a low profile.
When he thought about how he had lost almost 900 million star essence, his heart twitched.
The Blaze Realm was not very far from the Ascension Flowzone, and they had to bypass the Gu Flowzone along the way. Lu Yin specially ordered his spacecraft to pass by the Fennel Flowzone to take a look before heading to the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
The current Blazing Mist Flowzone was completely different from before, and there were no longer any arrogant disciples from the Blaze Realm. The sylvan dragons and the Ross Empire had subconsciously joined forces and set up a defensive line in the south of the Blaze Realm to prevent the Great Eastern Alliance from acting against them.
Leon's Armada, after all, had returned to the Blaze Realm, as he did not have the strength to deal with two powerhouses at the same time.
However, these two parties did not dare to make a move against him.
Lu Yin had become the leader, and the Hall of Honor had immediately issued a warning to everyone. This was also one of the reasons why Highsage Leon had returned to the Cosmic Sea without worry.
The Sage Heavenly Master had disappeared, and Lu Yin had wanted to entertain him. However, the Sage Heavenly Master did not interact with outsiders, and even Lu Yin did not know where he had gone. One thing he was certain of, however, was that if anything happened to Lu Yin, the Sage Heavenly Master would appear.
Not long after he returned to the Blaze Realm, Lu Yin was discussing with Wei Rong the matter of withdrawing from the Blazing Mist Flowzone when he received a call. He accepted the call, and the person who appeared surprised him. It was Starsibyl.
He had never thought that Starsibyl would suddenly contact him.
In the Supreme Tournament, Starsibyl's performance had been quite normal. In truth, Lu Yin was a little surprised, as Starsibyl had always been a potential threat to him.
"Brother Lu, do you have time?
How about coming to the Starsibyl Sect for a tour? "This was the first thing Starsibyl said when she saw him.
"The Starsibyl Sect?"
Starsibyl smiled. "The Starsibyl Sect officially invites Brother Lu for a tour."
…
Several days later, in outer space, Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and fell into deep thought.
He had accepted the Starsibyl Sect's invitation and was going for a tour.
Anyone in the universe who knew about the Starsibyl Sect would more or less have some misgivings about them. After all, divination was something that normal people did not dare to underestimate, as it involved the domain of time.
Lu Yin was no exception.
He had originally not believed in divination, but the incident with the Sea King had forced him to believe in it. No one knew that the Sea King had stolen pyrolyte, and only the Starsibyl Sect had divined it.
Starsibyl's divination of battles was quite mysterious, and her so-called abacus method was puzzling. Lu Yin was still very curious about this organization, and he wanted to see through this so-called divination.
Any normal person would have such a mentality!
However, if he could not see through it and instead believed in the divination, then he would definitely have more misgivings when facing the Starsibyl Sect in the future. He might even have to respect them.
The Starsibyl Sect was located in the Innerverse's Minor Thousand Flowzone, which was located at the intersection of the Gu Flowzone, the First Flowzone, and the Daynight Flowzone. It could be considered the intersection of the Innerverse's three major flowzones.
The Minor Thousand Flowzone was somewhat different from the other smaller flowzones. It was unknown whether it had been intentionally set up or formed naturally, but the entire flowzone had 108 ring-shaped tributaries that circled each other in layers, making the entire flowzone look like a vortex. If it was a flat surface, it would be a perfect target.
At the center of the 108 ring-shaped tributaries was the Starsibyl Sect, and the stars in the Minor Thousand Flowzone circled around the tributaries. They were arranged in a seemingly ordinary order, but at the same time, they were not.
The moment he entered the Minor Thousand Flowzone, he could clearly see that there were only ring-shaped tributaries in front of him, which seemed very ordinary. However, for some reason, Lu Yin had a strange feeling. It was as if these tributaries and the arrangement of the stars held some sort of strange meaning.
He exhaled and arrived at the Minor Thousand Flowzone, which meant that he was very close to the Starsibyl Sect.
Along the way, he had received a message from the You family, a place that he had never interacted with before: the Yōu Court.
The people who had contacted him over the past few days had all been very unexpected. The Yōu Court had contacted him with the intention of joining the Great Eastern Alliance.
Lu Yin had never thought that such a thing would happen. After all, the Yōu Court was a well-known power in the Innerverse, and it was backed by the Sword Sect in the First Flowzone. The Sword Sect and the Yōu Court had several marriage alliances, but they actually wanted to join the Great Eastern Alliance.
"The Sword Sect already suspects that the Yōu Court hasn't left the You family of the Seven Courts, and their attitude towards us is completely different. We hope that Alliance Master Lu will allow the Yōu Court to join the Great Eastern Alliance."
"The Yōu Court has already betrayed the You family of the Seven Courts, and we only wish to live a peaceful life. However, the Sword Sect will never allow us to exist. The exposure of the Yōu Secret Symbol has filled them with both fear and greed towards us. The Sword Sect will definitely want to obtain the Yōu Secret Symbol."
"Alliance Master Lu, the Yōu Court swears that we have no intention of returning to the You family, and we will definitely not betray the Great Eastern Alliance. Even though the Sword Sect's attitude has changed, the Yōu Court does not wish to sever ties with them. We only hope that someone will protect the Yōu Court's peace."
"The reason why we chose the Great Eastern Alliance is because it is not a single power, but rather an alliance of interests. It does not pose much of a threat to the Yōu Court. Alliance Master Lu's future achievements are limitless, and even now, you have the support of the Hall of Honor, Leon's Armada, Master Yuan, and the others. The Yōu Court does not trust anyone, and we only hope that Alliance Master Lu can protect us."
…
This was what Madam You, the head of the Yōu Court, had said to Lu Yin.
During the Sovereign Tournament, Yōu Ye'er had exposed the Yōu Secret Symbol, as well as the Killer Heart Lotus battle technique. This was equivalent to completely exposing the fact that the Yōu Court was the main body of the You family. It would be strange if the Sword Sect was willing to protect them.
Madam You had spoken in a righteous manner, saying that the Yōu Court would never return to the You family. If Lu Yin hadn't seen everything after the die's six pips had fused, he might have actually believed her. After all, according to common sense, the Yōu Court should not have betrayed the You family. Even if they had, it should not have been the main family that possessed the Yōu Secret Symbol.
Lu Yin did not know why the Yōu Court had betrayed the Yōu Court, or why they had intentionally split from the You family. This was what he was worried about.
What was the Yōu Court trying to do?
Although the Seven Courts was one of the Three Dark Hands, they were different from the Neohuman Alliance. They were not hated by everyone, and they had no problems protecting themselves. However, they had chosen to protect the Sword Sect and had even gone so far as to form a marriage alliance with the Yōu Court. It was as if some sort of crisis was looming over them.
Yes, it was a crisis. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. The Yōu Court had hidden some things from both the Sword Sect and himself.
This made it even more impossible for him to accept the Yōu Court. Who knew what they were hiding? If even the Seven Courts' You family could not protect them, then Lu Yin was not arrogant enough to think that he could resist the Seven Courts' You family. The You family was definitely an old monster with terrifying power, and they were definitely not weaker than the Nightking clan.
Madam You was waiting for his reply, but after much consideration, Lu Yin decided not to contact her.
The Yōu Court was clearly using him as a shield.
Elsewhere, in the first Flowzone, countless people were kneeling under the gloomy sky. Their expressions were solemn, and they looked exceptionally dignified.
A large flag with the word "Yōu" fluttered in the wind.
This was the Yōu Court, and the head of the Yōu Court, Madam You, appeared calm, but the anxiety in her eyes could not be concealed. Behind her, Yōu Ye'er had her head lowered, and her face was pale.
"Was that battle technique really something that you learned from the Yōu Secret Symbol?" Madam You asked in a low voice.
Yōu Ye'er did not dare to hide the truth. "Yes. It accidentally appeared when I used the Yōu Secret Symbol, so I started cultivating it. Actually, I've never tested its power before, and this was my first time in the Supreme Tournament."
Madam You's chest heaved, and her eyes were filled with excitement, but there was also fear. Yōu Ye'er did not know why the Yōu Court had been separated from the You family. Only the current head of the Yōu Court knew that it was because of the Yōu Secret Symbol. The Yōu Secret Symbol was not just a secret technique, but also a treasure that had been hidden over the years.
No one knew what the Yōu Secret Symbol contained, but it was known that those who cultivated it could accidentally obtain ancient battle techniques, cultivation methods, or even secret techniques. It was rumored that this secret technique had been created by the You family's ancestor, the legendary Netherworld Ancestor. He was an incomparably ancient Progenitor who had long been lost to the passage of time.
It was very likely that the Netherworld Ancestor had hidden these battle techniques within the Yōu Secret Symbol. The reason the Yōu Court had been separated was because the secret of the Yōu Secret Symbol had been leaked. They did not know how many people knew about this secret, but one thing was certain: there had always been people who had been watching the Yōu Court, vainly trying to obtain the Yōu Secret Symbol.
This constant sense of danger had long since been engraved into the blood of every member of the You family. This feeling of being constantly watched had existed for a very, very long time. It could be traced all the way back to the ancient war between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands.
It was precisely because of this that the You family had decided to split off from the Yōu Court and take away the true Yōu Secret Symbol.
The Yōu Court naturally had to have the ability to protect itself. Apart from the You family's secret protection, the Sword Sect was also a protector that the You family had found. Its strength was definitely not weaker than any of the Seven Courts, and it was enough to protect the Yōu Court.
