Just as they were about to leave, a figure appeared behind them. The prince and the rest were shocked, as they had not noticed this person at all.
"Everyone, Mister Lu invites you in." It was Mister Liu Ye. They had discovered the prince's group while capturing the baby, and they had told Lu Yin about it. Lu Yin had then asked Mister Liu Ye to bring them here.
Mister Liu Ye had taken action, and the prince and the rest could not resist, so they could only allow him to bring them to Greenlight Forest.
In the distance, the baby's body had shrunk to the size of a mountain range, but its powerful aura was still shocking.
Lu Yin stood not too far away from the baby and looked at Sister Feihua, who was muttering something to herself. Behind him, the prince's group arrived.
Lu Yin turned around and looked at the prince.
The prince was embarrassed, as his scheme had been discovered. "So Alliance Master Lu has returned. We heard that Alliance Master Lu had gone missing, and our Divine Gu Dynasty was worried about your safety."
Lu Yin smiled. "Thank you. So, who are you?"
"Qing Li, the Prince of the Divine Gu Dynasty."
Lu Yin was surprised. "So it's Your Highness. Excuse me, but why did Your Highness appear at the border between the Gu Flowzone and Fennel Flowzone?"
Qing Li replied, "My brother was worried about the safety of the cultivators in Fennel Flowzone during the Poison Tide, so he had me bring some medicine to help everyone resist the poison."
Lu Yin was amused, as Qing Li had lied without batting an eye. He looked at the baby. "Your Highness, you should know that even though this poisonous creature has no intelligence, it has a power level of over 400,000. It should be able to recognize who threw it out of the Gu Flowzone."
Qing Li's expression changed, and he fell silent.
Lu Yin smiled, as he was just making a casual remark and not pursuing the matter further. Besides, why should he pursue the matter? Even if the Divine Gu Dynasty had intentionally thrown the poison into Fennel Flowzone, it was their freedom to do so.
When Qing Li remained silent, Lu Yin suddenly asked, "I've heard that the Divine Gu Dynasty specializes in poison research. Are there any poisons that cultivators can't detect at all? Are there any poisons that cause their bodies to become numb and slow down after being poisoned?"
Qing Li's eyes narrowed, but it only lasted for a moment. "There are many poisons that cultivators can't detect, and there are quite a few in the Divine Gu Dynasty. Why are you asking about this?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "Quite a few?
Can you take a few out for me to take a look? "
Qing Lu was put in a difficult position. "Alliance Leader Lu, you might not know this, but poison is one of the most versatile offensive techniques of the Divine Gu Dynasty. It's like a cultivator's battle technique, and it cannot be casually shown to others."
"What about purchasing?" Lu Yin asked.
Qing Li was put in a difficult position. "We usually don't sell this."
"Old man, do you know who you're talking to?
My master is the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader, the supreme of our generation, the Hall of Honor's Fazi, the eldest disciple of Sirius Sect, an in-name disciple of Everlasting Island, a two-star Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, a member of Leon's Armada, a frequent visitor of the Seven Courts, a top VIP of the Aurora Corporation, and a top VIP of the Mavis Bank. I'm doing business with you because I think highly of you, so don't be so ungrateful, "Ku Wei shouted as he jumped out of nowhere.
His voice was so loud that Qing Li jumped in fright. As a prince of the Divine Gu Dynasty, he had never been shouted at like this before.
Behind Qing Li, someone shouted, "Impudent!"
"Impudent! Don't you know who you're talking to? My master bought your poison because he thinks highly of you. Don't be so ignorant!" roared Ku Wei.
Lu Yin looked at Ku Wei in admiration. Sometimes, it required such a person to be effective. However, it was difficult for Lu Yin to reveal the identities that Ku Wei had mentioned all at once, and there was no hindrance to it at all.
It was the same as many times.
Qing Li's face turned ugly, and he glared at Ku Wei.
"I'm not selling it. Can I take a look?" Lu Yin asked, his tone slightly unpleasant.
Ku Wei grew impatient, and he glared at Qing Li. "Hurry up and take it out. Do you want our Alliance Leader to do it himself?
Take a look at that poisonous bug. If you don't take it out, I'll stuff you into its mouth. "
Qing Li was disgusted by Ku Wei, and he snorted before retrieving a poison from his cosmic ring. "This is a poison that I personally developed. It's called the Five Steps Powder. Anyone below the Hunter realm who is poisoned by this poison will die after taking five steps. There are no exceptions."
Ku Wei hurriedly stepped forward and carefully handed it to Lu Yin. He smiled fawningly. "Master, take a look."
Lu Yin did not take it, and he merely glanced at it. The rune lines were close to 100,000, and its strength was similar to what Qing Li had described. "Your Highness, are you trying to fool me? What's the point of looking at this poison?"
"Old brat, be sensible!" Ku Wei roared.
Qing Li glared at him and then gritted his teeth as he took out another poison. Although it was called a poison, it was more like a colorful snake that was only the size of a fingernail. "This is a snake poison that my Divine Gu Dynasty developed. It can enter a person's body at a speed that Hunters cannot avoid. Even Enlighters will find it difficult to neutralize this poison."
Lu Yin's eyes grew cold. "I'm talking about a poison that can paralyze a cultivator's body without them noticing."
Qing Li took out a few more poisons, and the most powerful one was only difficult for an Enlighter to detect, not impossible to detect.
"It seems that Your Highness is joking with me. I can easily tell if these poisons are poisonous or not. I hope that Your Highness can take out a poison that I can't detect," Lu Yin said slowly.
Ku Wei threatened, "Do you want to play in that baby's mouth?"
Qing Li was helpless. "Alliance Leader Lu, there are a few other poisons in the dynasty that even Enlighters can't detect. However, those poisons can only be obtained by my brother."
"Your Highness, have you heard of rune lines?" Lu Yin asked.
Qing Li was confused. "The legendary power of the Rune Progenitor?"
Lu Yin looked up into the distance. "Everything under the heavens has rune lines. The poisons that you mentioned earlier, which are supposed to be difficult to detect, all have rune lines. What I need are poisons that don't have rune lines at all. They're like mystical items."
Qing Li's expression did not change. "Our dynasty doesn't have that."
"But I heard that Nightking Zhenwu obtained a poison from the Divine Gu Dynasty, and I've experienced that poison before," Lu Yin said.
Qing Li immediately denied it. "That's impossible. Nightking Zhenwu's poison definitely didn't come from my Gu Flowzone."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Qing Longlong told me."
Qing Li was shocked. "How did she know?"
The moment he spoke, he was stunned. When he saw Lu Yin's smug expression, his heart sank. He had been tricked.
"Your Highness, how long are you going to hide this?
I'll invite you to stay here as a guest, or I'll take you to the Great Eastern Alliance as a guest. I believe that Young King Qing will find it difficult to stop me. One year, a hundred years, or a thousand years? "
Qing Li's face twitched, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tell everyone to leave."
Lu Yin waved his hand, and everyone else left, leaving only him and Qing Li in the room.
Qing Li looked at Lu Yin seriously. "Alliance Master Lu, my Divine Gu Dynasty has no enmity towards you."
Lu Yin did not respond, and he merely looked at Qing Li calmly.
"The poison that Nightking Zhenwu obtained from my Divine Gu Dynasty is called Impermanence. That poison was developed from a strange flower that my brother obtained by chance. It's truly colorless and odorless, and it's comparable to a wonder item. Even if you cultivate the Rune Progenitor's power, you won't be able to see rune lines. It's the most precious poison in my Divine Gu Dynasty."
"The reason why we gave it to Nightking Zhenwu is because an ancient powerhouse from the Daynight Group helped us establish the Divine Gu Dynasty. My Divine Gu Dynasty owes the Daynight clan a favor, but we're not helping the Daynight clan deal with Alliance Master Lu."
It was only now that Lu Yin learned that the poison that he had been afflicted with on Nightking Planet was called Impermanence. He had not even realized that he had been poisoned at the time, and if not for his withered wisdom root and his innate gift with dice, he would have died on Nightking Planet.
"I almost died back then," Lu Yin said with a sullen expression. Even though this matter did not have much to do with the Divine Gu Dynasty and they did not want to deal with Lu Yin, this was still a hurdle that Lu Yin could not cross.
Qing Li understood as well. "What do you want, Alliance Master Lu?"
Lu Yin stared at him. "I want Impermanence."
Qing Li frowned. "My brother won't agree. Aside from Nightking Zhenwu, no one else is given Impermanence. Even the eldest princess, Qing Longlong, can't touch it, let alone me."
"I want to speak with Young Empress Qing."
"Unfortunately, my brother is in seclusion developing poisons. If you don't believe me, you can contact the eldest princess."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "What does Your Highness think of the Fifth Mainland?"
Qing Li was confused, as he did not understand why Lu Yin had changed the topic so quickly. "What does Alliance Master Lu mean?"
"If Your Highness is willing, I can help you go anywhere you want. You don't need to be trapped in Gu Flowzone."
Qing Li shook his head. "Alliance Master Lu, you're overthinking things. Anyone born in Gu Flowzone will spend their entire lives dealing with poisons, and it's difficult for them to leave or adapt to the outside world. That's why the Hall of Honor has never paid much attention to my Divine Gu Dynasty since we have no interest in the outside world."
Lu Yin was helpless. He wanted to find a spy within the Divine Gu Dynasty, but it did not seem to be easy.
"Those poisons were given to Alliance Master Lu as a greeting gift and also as compensation for the incident with the infant. Alliance Master Lu, I know that you want to obtain a Hellguard. Actually, anyone who has heard of a Hellguard would want one. Unfortunately, even I don't have one, so you should give up on that idea."
Not long after, Qing Li left, and Lu Yin did not make things difficult for him.
Now was not the time to become enemies with the Divine Gu Dynasty, and there was no reason for him to make things difficult for Qing Li.
As for a Hellguard, he would definitely think of a way to obtain one. Those poisons that were comparable to wondrous items were too useful, and once they were upgraded, they would definitely be of great use.
However, it was not the right time to go to the Divine Gu Dynasty, as he did not know anything about that place. Even if he went there, it would be difficult for him to obtain a Hellguard from Young Empress Qing, and he could not just go around threatening her.
Young Empress Qing also did not care about Lu Yin's status.
Lu Yin's goal in Fennel Flowzone was to wait for someone from the Wen family. He did not know what he could obtain from the Wen family, so he decided to discuss it with them first.
In the Outerverse, on a planet belonging to Shamrock Enterprises, Yu Mu was panting heavily and half-kneeling on the ground. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth and dripping onto the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and one of his eyes had been blinded.
A pair of long, snow-white legs swayed in front of him. It was a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth. She was beautiful, and there was a crafty look in her eyes that carried a hint of charm. She raised her head and looked at the sky. "Actually, I prefer the feeling of a normal person. The position of Outerverse CEO does not suit me, but it's your fault, Master."
