Yu Mu looked at the girl in fear, "You're not dead."
She smiled brilliantly, "Of course not."
"You're Seed?" Yu Mu spat out a mouthful of blood.
The girl nodded obediently, "I was from the start. The company arranged for me to be your disciple, but you were worried about my innate gift and killed me. How sad."
Yu Mu smiled bitterly, "I never thought that this day would come. Yu Er, do you still recognize me as your master?"
"Of course. You'll always be my master, a master worth remembering." The girl's gaze turned cold, and her voice chilled him.
Yu Mu lowered his head, "That's good, that's good. It's great that I can see you before I die. Actually, I feel very guilty."
The girl's gaze turned cold, and she suddenly reached out to grab Yu Mu. Yu Mu's body was pierced, but no blood flowed out. His body simply vanished.
The girl was shocked. The Astral Source Universe! That was definitely the Astral Source Universe, but how was this possible? He didn't even have a power level of 400,000, so how could he have entered?
The girl was at a loss, and she looked at the blood on the ground with a sinister expression before leaping into space. That old bastard couldn't have gotten far.
In outer space, Yu Mu coughed up blood and rushed towards an abandoned planet to hide.
This place wasn't far from Shamrock Enterprises, and Yu Er would definitely chase after him. If he wanted to live, he could only ask for help, but there was only one person who could save him: Lu Yin.
This was an enemy who had forced him into a desperate situation, but only Lu Yin had the ability to save him.
Yu Mu immediately activated his gadget and tried to contact Lu Yin.
After a long time, a vast aura descended, "Dear Master, I know you're here. You can't escape. Come out, I won't kill you." The girl's clear voice sounded out, but it was like a nightmare to Yu Mu.
He looked up in terror and saw the girl standing in space, her hand pressing down on the planet.
At that moment, the gadget connected, and Lu Yin appeared on the screen.
The moment he appeared, he saw the girl attack the planet and destroy it before the screen disappeared.
Within the green forest, Lu Yin was stunned. What was going on?
Had Yu Mu just died?
Who was that girl?
"Brother Lu, you should get back to work," Luoshen said gently.
"I'm fine."
Not long after, his gadget rang again, and he immediately accepted the call. A fish screen appeared on his screen, showing that he had lost an eye and was in a miserable state, which gave Luoshen a fright.
"Lu, Alliance Master Lu, save me!" Yu Mu cried for help with a hoarse voice. His eyes were filled with fear.
"What's going on?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
"Because of the conflict with you, the company suffered heavy losses. Not only did the company order me to be replaced, but they also wanted to kill me. They want to hide a huge secret," Yu Mu panted as he spoke. He looked above his head and waited in fear.
"Continue."
"Alliance Master Lu, only you can save me. I swear that if you save me, you'll get Shamrock Enterprises' greatest secret," Yu Mu said urgently.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "Why should I believe you?"
Yu Mu gritted his teeth, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. "Just because I escaped, I can escape into the Astral Source Universe."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. The Astral Source Universe was a place only Envoys could enter, and only cultivators like him could travel through it. Yu Mu's power level was at most 300,000, so how could he enter the Astral Source Universe?
"I don't believe you," Lu Yin said directly. There was no way for an Enlighter to enter the Astral Source Universe in the Cosmic Tree Domain, so how could Yu Mu do it?
Yu Mu anxiously said, "Alliance Master Lu, save me! If I'm lying, then I'll just die, but what if it's true?
I can tell you that the thing that helped me enter the Astral Source Universe is called the Astral Source Pill. It's something that Shamrock Enterprises has been researching for a long time, and it's a precious pill that they've only recently succeeded in producing. It can be mass-produced. "
"Location!" Lu Yin barked.
Yu Mu reported his location, and Lu Yin immediately contacted Elder He. Yu Mu's current location was not far from Anlan Planet, where the people from the Sea King's Dome lived.
"Alliance Master Lu, hurry! Shamrock Enterprises' people will find me soon. I only have one Astral Source Pill left, so I can only escape once," Yu Mu said anxiously. Lu Yin suddenly shouted, "Run!"
Through the screen, he saw a figure appear behind Yu Mu. It was that girl.
… …
The screen disappeared, and Lu Yin stood in place, deep in thought. Was the Astral Source Pill real or fake?
Yu Mu would not dare to lie, as he was Lu Yin's enemy, not his friend. If Yu Mu had asked Lu Yin to save him, then Yu Mu would definitely die if the pill was fake. There was no need for Yu Mu to make such an unnecessary move. Could Shamrock Enterprises really have developed a pill that could allow Enlighters to travel through the Astral Source Universe?
That was a little against common sense.
In the Outerverse, Yu Er stared at the empty space in front of her. She had clearly seen Yu Mu, but Yu Mu had actually escaped right under her nose, and through the Astral Source Universe at that.
She did not know how Yu Mu had done it, but that old geezer seemed to have contacted someone just now, and that person was Lu Yin.
Yu Er was no stranger to Lu Yin. During her time in hiding, she had joined the Great Eastern Alliance and visited the Innerverse and the Cosmic Sea. Lu Yin had been a legend for nearly a decade, and she had seen too many records about him.
That old geezer had ended up like this because of his conflict with Lu Yin, so how had he managed to contact Lu Yin?
Yu Er had too many questions, and she needed to find that old geezer.
Half a day later, she found Yu Mu on a meteorite that was flying east.
Yu Mu was sorrowful. Was it still too late?
Lu Yin could not save him in time.
"Dear Master, are you contacting Lu Yin?
Why?
Also, how are you able to travel through the Astral Source Universe?
Can you tell me about it? "Yu Er stood in front of Yu Mu and asked gently. Yu Mu sneered.
"What? You don't know about the Astral Source Pill?"
"Astral Source Pill?" Yu Er had never heard of it.
Yu Mu sneered, "It seems like the company doesn't trust you. They didn't even tell you about the Astral Source Pill."
"Then, Master, can you tell me?" Yu Er asked as she stared at Yu Mu. Her snow-white legs and the silent meteorite were two completely different scenes.
Yu Mu shook his head. "Since we're master and disciple, I'm warning you not to get too involved. The company's waters are murkier than you think."
Yu Er grabbed Yu Mu. "Come back with me."
At that moment, Yu Er's body suddenly stiffened, and the void tore open. An elder walked out from within the Astral Source Universe. "Young lady, please put him down. He's my guest."
Yu Er turned around and saw the elder. Her expression turned serious. "An Emissary?"
Yu Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the shattered meteorite behind him. He had survived.
In front of him, Elder He clasped his hands behind his back and led him in a certain direction. Elder He was rather curious about Yu Mu. He knew about the grudge between this person and Lu Yin, but he had never thought that Lu Yin would ask him to save this person. There had to be some other relationship between the two.
However, Elder He did not care about this. He had actively tried to save Yu Mu so that Lu Yin would owe him a favor and use it to find the Sea King.
They were absolutely certain that the Sea King was not dead, but they did not know where he was. They also did not have the ability to save him, so they could only rely on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was already on his way to the Outerverse. He was very interested in the Astral Source Pill that Yu Mu had mentioned, as well as the aura-concealing stone from Aegis.
Right after Lu Yin left, the Wen family's people arrived at Fennel Flowzone. When they learned that Lu Yin was heading to the Outerverse, they had no choice but to chase after him.
Almost half a year had passed since Lu Yin had returned to the Fifth Mainland from the Cosmic Tree Realm. On this day, in the distant west, some people from the Technocracy arrived at the Genesis Court.
The Genesis Court was the core of the Technocracy, and it was located in the largest main city. It could also be said that the main city was the Genesis Court.
During the Tournament of the Strongest, Yun, Domi, and Yar Patel had represented the Technocracy in the Astral Combat Academy. Wang Yi had also represented the Genesis Court during the Supreme Tournament.
There were many research teams in the Genesis Court, and Hui Kong often appeared here.
However, Hui Kong was not at the Genesis Court at this moment. Instead, he was on a barren planet far away. A giant mechanical monster had descended and was smashed to pieces by Hui Kong.
"Damn baldy, I'll tear you apart sooner or later," the mechanical monster said in a crisp voice. It seemed to be very angry.
Hui Kong grinned. "Go home and drink milk, kid. You're so old that your teeth are falling out. Grandpa Hui is still so young."
"Shameless baldy!" With a bang, the mechanical monster was smashed to pieces. Hui Kong looked up and sighed. "If only Brother Lu was here. With so many materials, it would be enough for him to play with."
A day later, Hui Kong was roasting a giant beast that he had caught from somewhere when his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and looked into the distance with a solemn expression that had never been seen before.
Not long after, an old man tore through the void and walked out. He looked at Hui Kong calmly. "Someone from the Abandoned Lands?"
Hui Kong narrowed his eyes. "Someone from that planet."
"I'm Wang Shang from the Four Cardinal Scales' Wang family. I heard that you're from the Abandoned Lands. Do you recognize this person?" The old man raised his hand and drew an image in the void.
Hui Kong's eyes narrowed when he saw the image that Wang Shang had drawn. Brother Lu?
"It seems like you recognize him. Take me to him," the old man said in an unquestionable tone. He was one of the few experts in the Wang family who had undergone six Tribulation Origin Tribulations, and he had always been on the northern battlefield. He had only returned to the family by chance and had been given a mission by half of Wang Si's team. He did not know much about the Abandoned Lands, but he did not need to. It was just a cultivation desert.
Although there were a few experts, they were all ants in his eyes. He had lived on the northern battlefield for a thousand years and did not take anyone from the Abandoned Lands seriously. He was even confident that he could fight even half of Wang Shang's team.
Hui Kong's expression was grave. He could sense how terrifying this old man was. He had been tempered through blood and fire, and he had a murderous aura. Even though he had been in the Technocracy for so many years, he could not compare to this old man. Perhaps this old man had surpassed him.
"I don't know him," Hui Kong said.
Wang Shang sneered. "I'm sure you know him, so take me to him." He raised his hand and slammed down with his palm. At the same time, black ropes appeared in the void from all directions to bind Hui Kong. He had directly used a forbidden secret technique.
Hui Kong's expression changed. Hui Zi's secret technique, Break All Things, could see through weaknesses and defeat stronger opponents.
Hui Kong had seen through the forbidden secret technique and was not trapped. Wang Shang was surprised. "I underestimated you."
