Balsam fell silent when she heard Lu Yin's denial. "Because of Yu Mu, Shamrock Enterprises became enemies with the Great Eastern Alliance, causing the company to suffer huge losses. The company decided to punish him, but during the punishment process, Yu Mu was taken away by your people. Alliance Leader Lu, don't you know about this?"
"That's right. Yu Mu proposed a deal, saying that he would give me some sort of pill in exchange for his life. I asked the Sea King and Elder to rescue him, and I planned to bring him to the Great Eastern Alliance. However, he was intercepted by the Sixth Mainland's Autumnfrost family along the way, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
Balsam was astonished, as she had not been aware of this matter. When Yu Er had reported to her, she had been busy and had not received the message in time. When she saw Yu Er's report, she had immediately contacted Lu Yin, but she had not expected that the Sixth Mainland's Autumnfrost family would be involved.
The Sixth Mainland's Autumnfrost family had once been one of the three great families in the Bloodburn Realm. Even after the Sixth Mainland had been invaded by monsters and lost many experts, the Autumnfrost family still had a World Imprinter, which was a powerful existence with a power level of over 800,000. It was comparable to the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect, which were the top powers of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones.
"Why would the Autumnfrost family appear there?
And why would they intercept Yu Mu? "Balsam asked curiously.
Lu Yin snorted. "Yu Mu is a despicable person. On one hand, he tried to tempt me into saving him, but on the other hand, he immediately joined the Autumnfrost family. Not only did he violate the deal, but he also heavily injured Elder He. I hope that Shamrock Enterprises can capture Yu Mu from the Autumnfrost family, and please invite me to watch the punishment so that I can vent my anger."
Balsam did not know if Lu Yin was telling the truth, as this matter concerned the Autumnfrost family. Shamrock Enterprises still had some intelligence network in the western weaves of the Outerverse, but they could not infiltrate the Autumnfrost family. It would not be easy to verify this information.
"Alliance Leader Lu, Yu Mu is very treacherous. His words might not be trustworthy."
Lu Yin's tone turned cold. "You don't trust me?
Do you think that I hid Yu Mu?
Go investigate and see if the Autumnfrost family sent an expert to a weave in the Outerverse. Right, that expert seems to be called Uncle Hua or something. Elder He heard him. "
Balsam was silent for a moment. "Alright, we'll investigate. Sorry for disturbing you, Alliance leader."
Lu Yin continued, "Actually, I'm very curious. Yu Mu said that Shamrock Enterprises had developed a type of Astral Source Pill that could allow one to break into the Astral Source Universe. This should be the bargaining chip he used to join the Autumnfrost family. Do you really have such a pill?
“。
Balsam Zhi sneered. "Break into the Stellar Source Universe?
That's the privilege of an Emissary. The universe is mysterious, and it's not something that can be done with pills. If Shamrock Enterprises really had the ability to create the so-called Astral Source Pill, we would've been on the same level as the Aurora Company and the Mavis Bank. Why would we even fail to move our headquarters to the World Mountain? "
"Alliance Leader Lu, you're a smart person. You don't believe Yu Mu's lies, do you?"
Lu Yin hesitated. "But he did break into the Astral Source Universe to escape. Otherwise, how could he have survived?"
"Yu Mu has obtained quite a few good things over the years as the Outerverse's president. It's said that he's even discovered quite a few sects and clans that have been hiding in the void since ancient times. It's normal for him to have some life-saving methods," Balsam explained. She then continued, "If Alliance Master Lu doesn't believe me, you can come visit Shamrock Enterprises. With Alliance Master Lu's status, you'll be able to see all of Shamrock Enterprises' products. Alliance Master Lu can also come and check if there are any Astral Source Pills."
Lu Yin's tone turned cold. "It looks like this Yu Mu really did lie to me. My apologies, Miss Balsam, for interfering with your company's punishment of Yu Mu.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You'll compensate me. "
"There's no need for that. He's just a stray dog and doesn't have much value. I'm contacting Alliance Leader Lu because I don't want any more misunderstandings because of this person. Since he's been taken away by the Autumnfrost family, we'll ask the Autumnfrost family for him. Alliance Master Lu, sorry for the disturbance."
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment and then hung up.
Behind him, Big Sis Feihua squeaked in surprise. "You're really good at making things up. You didn't release the Autumnfrost family because you were afraid that the company would find out. You even specifically reminded that woman that Yu Mu would use the Astral Source Pill as a bargaining chip to join the Autumnfrost family. This way, no matter how much the Autumnfrost family denies it or even tells Shamrock Enterprises that Uncle Hua and the others have gone missing, Shamrock Enterprises won't believe them."
Mister Liu Ye sighed. "It's no wonder that he was able to deceive gods and ghosts. The entire Starry Sky of the Trees was thrown into chaos, and the White Dragon Clan will become a laughingstock for a long time to come. Even the Dragon Ancestor and the Frigid Ancestor will not be able to detect his presence.
How ruthless. "Lu Yin didn't feel like Mr. Liu was praising him." I was just protecting myself. "
"Can that Astral Source Pill really allow an Enlighter to break into the Astral Source Universe?" Big Sis Feihua asked, as she had never heard of such a thing in the Astral Tree Realm.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I don't know, but I hope so. In the current universe, who knows if it's true or not?"
Liu Ye and Feihua exchanged glances, and then they both looked at Lu Yin. This kid's words were the most fake.
Sometimes, if you wanted to take advantage of the situation, you had to muddy the waters. Shamrock Enterprises might not believe the Autumnfrost family's words, but that was only if the Autumnfrost family was willing to explain themselves. Given the Autumnfrost family's personality, they might not explain themselves to Shamrock Enterprises, and they might even suspect that Shamrock Enterprises had done something to Uncle Hua and the others.
Of course, they would definitely suspect Lu Yin as well. All he needed was time, and he wanted to give Yu Mu some time to bring the Astral Source Pill. As long as the Astral Source Pill was in his hands, he could release the Autumnfrost family, and he could chat more with Shamrock Enterprises.
As he looked at the three rings of land in front of him and the familiar planet, Lu Yin grew excited. He was back.
Ever since he had left Earth, stepped onto Zenyu Star, and then embarked on the path to the Astral Combat Academy, he had returned to Zenyu Star many times, but he had never been as excited as he was now.
This excursion had been extremely dangerous, and he had thought that he would never return from the Astral Tree. Now that he saw Zenyu Star again, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Lu Yin was not qualified to be the Great Yu Empire's Royal Regent. It had been a long time since he had held a court meeting, and he had no plans to do so in the future. His status as the Great Eastern Alliance's leader was much higher than that of the Great Yu Empire's Royal Regent.
Lu Yin's return did not alarm Zenyu Star, and only a few people knew that he had returned.
At the entrance of King Zishan's palace, Kayze looked at the familiar figure and trembled. He quickly bowed. "Your subordinate welcomes Your Highness back."
Lu Yin grunted and looked at Kayze. "Not bad. You've improved quite a bit."
Kayze bowed, not daring to look at Lu Yin directly. "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
Back then, Lu Yin had subdued Kayze on a whim, as he had thought that he might have a chance to interact with the Dire Barbarian Clan in the future. But now, the Dire Barbarian Clan was insignificant to him, and they did not even have an Emissary. Lu Yin could easily destroy them, but Kayze had been guarding the door for many years, so he had gotten used to it.
"Ah, Your Highness is back. I'll go prepare some flower tea." Zhao Ran was startled when she saw Lu Yin, and she quickly skipped away.
She was still as carefree as ever, but Lu Yin was still comforted that she had remembered him.
The Flying Willows were settled in King Zishan's palace.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
This was because they could not leave Lu Yin, and he needed these two bodyguards.
"Your Highness, try it." Zhao Ran poured a cup of flower tea for Lu Yin. Lu Yin stared at it in a daze. Why was its appearance becoming stranger and stranger?
In the past, flower tea had at most a horrifying color, but now, Lu Yin felt as if he could see creatures swimming within it. Was this thing even drinkable?
Zhao Ran looked at Lu Yin expectantly, as if she were a child waiting for a reward.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Have a sip first."
Zhao Ran was confused. "Why?
It's delicious. Doesn't Your Highness like it?
“。
Lu Yin coughed. "No, it's just that …" At this moment, Kayze's voice rang out. "Your Highness, the City Lord of Million City, Jade Mountain Sea, requests an audience."
"Please enter," Lu Yin hurriedly said. He then looked at Zhao Ran. "You can leave for now. I'll call for you later."
Zhao Ran grunted and looked at the flower tea with a slightly aggrieved expression.
Not long after, Jade Mountain Sea entered and immediately bowed when he saw Lu Yin. "Jade Mountain Sea Cucumber greets the Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin gestured for him to enter. "Where's Xi 'er?
She didn't come with you? "
Jade Mountain Sea smiled bitterly. "That girl has been busy for the past few days and hasn't come out yet. My apologies."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "It was thanks to her that we were able to deal with Shamrock Enterprises. Please thank her for me."
"We should be the ones thanking the Alliance Leader. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance taking us in, who knows where our Million City would have gone."
"It's not that exaggerated." Lu Yin smiled.
Jade Mountain Sea sighed. "Your Highness, you don't know about the Phineas Clan's situation. It's said that they're not doing too well."
The Phineas Clan was also known as the Dark Phoenix Clan, and they were located in the Endless Weaves in the west. During the war with the Sixth Mainland, Mister Mu had pushed the entire Endless Weaves towards the Southern Weaves, and the Dark Phoenix Clan had naturally been included. Now that the Western Weaves were under the rule of the Sixth Mainland, the Dark Phoenix Clan was naturally included.
The Dark Phoenix Clan had once joined the Great Eastern Alliance, and when the Sixth Mainland was about to take over the Outerverse, Wang Wen had contacted the Dark Phoenix Clan. The Dark Phoenix Clan was not willing to leave the Western Weaves, and the Great Eastern Alliance would not start a war with the Sixth Mainland because of them. That would be insane. In the end, the Dark Phoenix Clan naturally fell under the rule of the Sixth Mainland.
"Which family from the Sixth Mainland rules the Dark Phoenix Clan?"
Lu Yin was curious, as he did not know much about the current situation in the Western Weaves. It seemed that he should find some time to chat with Uncle Hua.
Jade Mountain Sea replied, "The Arrow Sect."
Lu Yin was astonished. "What? The Sword Sect?"
"The Arrow Sect used to be a power in the eastern region of the Sixth Mainland's Concealed Progenitor Realm, and they gave birth to the Savage Archer God, an absolute expert with the Heavenly Imprint. They instantly became one of the top powers in the Sixth Mainland. Their members are all giants, and they specialize in using arrows. Each arrow is more than five meters long, and they specialize in killing. They are a terrifying power, and the Dark Phoenix Clan was taken over by the Arrow Sect and became their mounts."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Mounts?
“
Jade Mountain Sea sighed. "The Arrow Sect is made up of giants who kill in outer space and use their archery to kill their enemies. Naturally, they would need mounts, and the Dark Phoenix Clan became their mounts. Actually, the Dark Phoenix Clan should be regretting that they did not move to Frostwave Weave."
Lu Yin had not expected the Dark Phoenix Clan to be in such a miserable state. No matter what, they were still a powerful clan that had fought their way out of the Innerverse, but they had actually been reduced to being mounts.
However, they had brought this upon themselves. It was not that the Great Eastern Alliance had not given them a chance, but they had rejected it.
