This was Lu Yin's second time at Glory Mountain, so he wasn't familiar with the place. He had to ask a few people before he found the Astral Link Major World.
Some of the people who had been questioned recognized Lu Yin and stared blankly at him as he left, as if they had seen a ghost.
After entering the Major World, Lu Yin familiarly headed for the tall tower in the distance. He released his domain without restraint, covering an extremely large area.
At the top of the tower, Zi Jing was watering the flowers when she sensed Lu Yin's domain spreading. She said, "It's not very polite to greet an old friend."
Lu Yin's expression changed, and his domain disappeared. He took a step forward and tore through the void to appear at the top of the tower.
Zi Jing turned around and looked at Lu Yin with a calm expression and a faint smile. She gestured for him to take a seat. "Would you like some flower tea?"
Lu Yin replied, "It's urgent. I want to contact my family."
"A cup of tea won't take up too much time." Zi Jing smiled.
Seeing her insistence, Lu Yin could only nod and sit down.
This was different from the first time he had been here, as his attitude had changed. Not only had he been here before, but he had also seen the Astral Tree. He had faced several Half-Ancestors and had even been chased down by them more than once. Nothing in the Fifth Mainland could surprise him anymore.
As he quietly smelled the tea, Lu Yin looked at Zi Jing. This woman always gave off a calm feeling, which was a good match for these flowers.
"I really do have something urgent," Lu Yin said.
Zi Jing retrieved her gadget from her cosmic ring. "You've changed."
Lu Yin smiled. "That's what everyone says."
Zi Jing smiled and handed the gadget over to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took it and disappeared. He couldn't contact anyone in front of this woman, so the first person he contacted was naturally Ming Yan.
He couldn't think too much in the Astral Tree, but now that he was back here, he couldn't wait to find out what had happened to Ming Yan. He wanted to know how she knew that Ah Lu was Baruda, and where she was now.
When he had been monitoring Jupiter's space station on Earth, Lu Yin had memorized the number that Ming Yan had used to contact him.
The gadget beeped, and Lu Yin waited nervously. Each beep made him nervous, as he was afraid that Ming Yan wouldn't pick up.
After a few beeps, the gadget connected, and Lu Yin nervously asked, "Yan 'er?"
"Brother Lu, is that you?" Ming Yan's voice sounded anxious.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. "It's me, Yan 'er."
"It really is you, big brother Lu!" exclaimed Ming Yan excitedly. The two of them quickly met, and a screen appeared in the air. Ming Yan's image appeared within it.
Lu Yin had not seen Ming Yan for a long time, but that unforgettable feeling still lingered in his heart. Ming Yan's gaze, in particular, made his heart ache.
"Brother Lu, Yan 'er thought that she would never see you again in this lifetime." Ming Yan's eyes were red. In front of Lu Yin, she would always be weak.
Lu Yin frowned. "Yan 'er, where are you now?"
Ming Yan pursed her lips and told Lu Yin everything that had happened to her. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "You followed Gu Yue's instructions and left Shenwu Continent, but you were betrayed and captured to a brothel?"
Ming Yan nodded, but when she saw Lu Yin's furious expression, she panicked and her face paled. "Brother Lu, please don't misunderstand. Yan 'er didn't do anything wrong," Lu Yin hurriedly said, "I know. I just want to know who betrayed you."
Ming Yan gritted her teeth. "Yan 'er has already dealt with her."
Lu Yin was astonished.
Ming Yan continued, telling him about how she had taken control of the Black Street and how she had found out that the Unaging Elder was a traitor to humanity.
Ming Yan's experience was no less than Lu Yin's, and it sounded like a legend to others. She had been a weak girl who had developed dual personalities due to her life poison, and now, she was using her life poison to control someone else's life.
Lu Yin found this somewhat inconceivable. He felt like he was a legend, but Ming Yan's experience was not much worse than his.
"Not only that, Brother Lu. Yan 'er can help you now. Not only can I control the Black Street and the Unaging Elder, but I can also use him to obtain information about the Neohuman Alliance."
Lu Yin's expression grew uglier. "Yan 'er, stop. Return to Shenwu Continent immediately."
Ming Yan was at a loss. "Why, Brother Lu?"
Lu Yin sternly replied, "The Neohuman Alliance is not as simple as you think. What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't touch them."
He thought of Long Xian and what the God of Witchcraft Spirit had said to him. These monsters seemed to be emotionless, but in fact, they were so deep that it was frightening. They could make people become Red Backs unknowingly, and in the end, they had no choice but to join them.
To the people of the Fifth Mainland, the Neohuman Alliance was one of the Three Dark Hands, but it could not compare to the Hall of Honor. However, Lu Yin knew that the Neohuman Alliance had enough power to destroy the Hall of Honor.
Lu Yin was not surprised that the Secret Ancestor had been injured while destroying the Eternal Kingdom, as the Neohuman Alliance had the resources and ability to do so.
Ming Yan had tried to use the Unaging Elder to gain information about the Neohuman Alliance, but that was courting death.
Ming Yan looked at Lu Yin's stern expression and whined, "But Yan 'er wants to help Brother Lu."
Lu Yin's gaze relaxed, and his tone softened. "Yan 'er, listen to me and leave the Black Street immediately. Erase all ties with the Neohuman Alliance and don't come into contact with them."
Ming Yan lowered her head. "Brother Lu, Father died at their hands."
Lu Yin was shocked, but he did not speak.
"You were also assassinated by them. I know that I don't have the ability to deal with them, but at least …" Ming Yan looked up with a resolute gaze. "Yan 'er wants to do it."
Lu Yin's fingers trembled. "Do you know how dangerous they are?"
Ming Yan grinned. "Brother Lu, do you know what Yan 'er means to them?"
Lu Yin did not understand.
Ming Yan's hair turned white, and her tone suddenly became cold and stubborn. "It means that I'm their natural enemy."
Lu Yin was stunned. The white-haired Ming Yan was not easy to deal with.
"Are you looking down on me?" Ming Yan stared coldly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's mouth went dry. "No."
"If you can deal with them, then so can I. Even if I have to die, I'll die before you!" Ming Yan declared loudly.
Lu Yin was stunned. Was that what she meant?
"Don't look at me like that. I control the Black Street, control a director, and even obtain information about the Neohuman Alliance. Do you think that it's all due to luck?
I, Ming Yan, once controlled an empire and countless lives, "said the white-haired Ming Yan.
Lu Yin sighed. "You don't understand them at all."
"There's no need to understand them. They don't understand me either, and I've never taken the initiative to obtain information. I'm very cautious about this."
Lu Yin coughed. "I want to talk to the other one."
"There's no need." Ming Yan rejected him directly, but her eyes kept drifting to Lu Yin. At that moment, her hair turned black again.
"Lu … Brother Lu, I'm sorry. She came out on her own," Ming Yan apologized softly.
Lu Yin was helpless. Dual personalities were really difficult to deal with.
"Yan 'er misses you, Brother Lu." Ming Yan could not help but say.
Lu Yin replied, "I miss you too. I'll go to the Black Street to find you."
Ming Yan softly acknowledged, "I'll wait for you." She then looked at Lu Yin reluctantly and ended the call.
Lu Yin sighed as he watched the white clouds drift by. He was determined not to involve Ming Yan in the battle against the Eternals, but she could not let go of Ming Zhaoshu's death. Moreover, the assassination attempt on Earth had been thanks to Ming Yan's warning. Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain. Ming Yan would definitely have learned more about the Neohuman Alliance because of this incident.
All of this made it impossible for Ming Yan to withdraw.
It seemed that he would have to make a trip to the Black Street first to assess the situation. Lu Yin's gaze trembled, as the Old Man was also there.
Lu Yin looked at his gadget and contacted the second person, Wendy Yushan. In this region of space, Lu Yin's closest relatives were naturally Ming Yan, Wendy Yushan, Big Sis, and the others. Big Sis had the ability to protect herself, so Lu Yin was not worried. He was only worried about Wendy Yushan.
The Great Eastern Alliance was not invincible.
Wendy Yushan was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lu Yin on the screen. "You're back?"
"You knew that I would come back?" Lu Yin asked.
Wendy Yushan restrained her surprise and replied, "You won't die so easily."
Lu Yin smiled. "You know me well. How have you been recently?"
"Not bad," Wendy Yushan replied. Someone slowly walked out from behind her. Lu Yin was shocked. "Ling Gong?"
The person behind Wendy Yushan was one of the Ten Arbiters, White Knight Ling Gong.
Ling Gong looked at Lu Yin on the screen and was shocked. "You're actually still alive. You're really tenacious."
Lu Yin was curious. "Why are you two together?"
Ling Gong coldly replied, "Is that strange?
I ordered her to come here, so she came. "
Lu Yin raised his brows, as this tone was asking for a beating.
Wendy Yushan replied, "White Knight invited me to the Lingling clan to cultivate."
"She didn't do anything to you, did she?" Lu Yin sized up the two.
Ling Gong was annoyed. "What's with that look, Lu Yin?"
Wendy Yushan was helpless. "Very well."
Lu Yin nodded. "It's fine as long as you're doing well. I won't disturb you any further. I still have to contact Wang Wen."
"Wait," Ling Gong said as she stared at Lu Yin. "What's your current cultivation level?"
Lu Yin grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "I'll beat up a hundred of you."
Wendy Yushan was shocked, and Ling Gong was furious. Before she could say anything, Lu Yin ended the call and looked up.
He felt great. When he thought back to how this woman had acted as if the heavens were her number two, Lu Yin felt that she deserved a beating. She had even threatened him and even kidnapped him. Now that he could disgust her, it felt great.
Not only Ling Gong, but he had also disgust Feather Mavis and beaten her into submission. Now, he was going to find trouble with Wen Sansi and the others and completely reverse the position of the Ten Arbiters that he had once looked up to.
Lu Yin was unconsciously pleased with himself, as this was a result of being suppressed for too long. He had directly broken through to ten-lined battle force during the Sovereign Tournament, but that hadn't been satisfying enough. When he saw these people again in the future, he would beat them up one by one.
Right, challenging one of the Ten Arbiters was a pretty good idea.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin contacted Wang Wen. This was where the proper business began.
It had been almost two years since he had left the Fifth Mainland. Even though he had spent some time with the Great Eastern Alliance and knew that Elder Chan and the Adjudicator supported him, he still needed to ask Wang Wen about the specifics. Elder Chan and the rest did not know everything about the Great Eastern Alliance.
Lu Yin had been updating for four days straight, and he had even been out on a business trip. He was tired, so he decided to take a break. Thank you, brothers, for your support!
