Alliance Master, I've heard that the Arrow Sect has always been interested in the Tai Mo Hall, and they've even sent a few groups of people to the Tai Mo Hall to learn archery, "Qiong Shanhai said as a reminder.
Lu Yin was not worried that the Temple of Tai Mo would side with the Arrow Sect, as that would be impossible. Ancestor Arrow Mountain had died at the hands of the Sixth Mainland, and Lu Yin was worried that the Sixth Mainland would make a move against the Temple of Tai Mo.
The Sixth Mainland had sent people to infiltrate the Hall of Honor and indirectly control the Hall of Honor's directors. There had to be many more things going on behind the scenes that Lu Yin did not know about. The Sixth Mainland would not be satisfied with just the Outerverse. Sooner or later, they would become enemies as well.
"Thank you for the reminder, City Lord," Lu Yin said gratefully. He then pointed at the flower tea on the table, "Please have some tea, City Lord."
Actually, Jade Mountain Sea had noticed that cup of flower tea the moment he entered. No one would overlook something as strange as a poison.
That was Zhao Ran's flower tea, and Lu Yin also had a cup that he had poured for Jasper Mountain Sea.
"Alliance Lord, what's this?" Jasper Mountain Sea asked cautiously, his hair standing on end when he saw what appeared to be creatures swimming within the flower tea.
Lu Yin smiled. "This is a flower tea that Zhao Ran recently developed, and it should taste pretty good. Please have a taste and give me some suggestions."
Jasper Mountain Sea was stunned, and his first thought was that Lu Yin was plotting to seize the Million Cities and poison him to death. However, after thinking about it for a bit, Jasper Mountain Sea didn't have much value to Lu Yin at the moment. Even if he had money, Lu Yin wouldn't poison him just because of that money.
Qiong Shanhai drank a mouthful of the wine while feeling uneasy and suspicious.
Lu Yin stared intently.
Qiong Shanhai put down his teacup and was astonished. "It's delicious."
Lu Yin smiled. "Zhao Ran will be very happy to hear that." Not long after, Jasper Mountain Sea left, and Elder Iron went to pay his respects.
The Lan family, Wan Qiancheng, the Sea King's Dome, Aegis, Amethyst Trading Company, and many other great powers had all rushed into Frostwave Weave to seek protection. Now that Lu Yin had returned, they naturally had to pay their respects to him.
Lu Yin did not have much to say to Elder Iron. The Lan family was in Frostwave Weave, and they also had to protect it. Elder Iron was one of the protectors of the Great Yu Empire, as well as someone from the White King's bloodline.
It wasn't until three days later that Lu Yin finally met with all of them. These people wanted to see Lu Yin for safety, and if Lu Yin didn't meet them, they would panic.
Wendy Yushan had gone to the Innerverse's Lingling clan, and Lu Yin didn't ask where Zhuo Daynight had gone. He also didn't know where Lan Si was cultivating.
Lu Yin wondered if he should let Long Xi and the others out to get some fresh air, but after some thought, he decided against it. It would be hard to control them.
"Your Highness, Wang Wen requests an audience," Kayze's voice rang out.
"Let him in."
Soon, a sleepy Wang Wen walked in and yawned. "Your Highness Chess Piece, are you done with your work?"
Lu Yin was a little tired. "Yeah, it's finally over."
"You can't blame them. You haven't returned for a long time, and the situation in the Outerverse is so complicated. They want to meet you and find out more about you," Wang Wen said.
"Where do you think the future of the Great Eastern Alliance will be?"
This was also the true reason why Elder Iron and the others had come to probe the Sixth Mainland. It was only a matter of time before the Outerverse would be handed over to the Sixth Mainland, and it would not be long before even the Great Eastern Alliance would have to leave.
The eight great flowzones of the Innerverse had long since stabilized, and the influx of so many powers from the Outerverse would definitely cause a backlash. The biggest problem was how to settle them down.
The Hall of Honor would definitely not ignore this, and they had been making plans all this time. But no matter what plans they made, it was impossible for them to avoid conflict with the eight great flowzones. After all, their interests would be affected.
This would depend on the Great Eastern Alliance.
They could choose to settle down in a small flowzone or start a war with the eight great flowzones.
When the Great Eastern Alliance had first moved to Fennel Flowzone, it had wanted to give the eight great flowzones the impression that the Great Eastern Alliance was harmless and that it was showing results.
However, in reality, settling down in a small flowzone was not Lu Yin's goal. Even though Blazing Mist Flowzone was large, it could not satisfy the entire Outerverse. What he wanted was more.
Wang Wen casually opened his star chart and pointed at the first flowzone. "I want this place the most."
Lu Yin laughed. "The Sword Sect is not to be trifled with."
Wang Wen stretched lazily. "Two years ago, the Daynight clan was also not to be trifled with."
"That's because they borrowed the strength of Leon's Armada. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be qualified to carry their shoes."
"There's always a way. We've improved a lot over the past two years. Your Highness, do you know how many androids have reached the Explorer realm?" Wang Wen asked.
Lu Yin was curious. "How many?"
Ban Jiu had created these androids, but he had not asked.
Wang Wen raised four fingers. "Four thousand."
Lu Yin was shocked. "There are only nine hundred Explorers in the Express Response Team, right?"
"Now, there are two thousand."
Lu Yin was shocked. "That's a huge increase."
Wang Wen replied, "The Sixth Mainland occupies the Outerverse, and normal people can adapt to it. To them, whether it's the Fifth Mainland or the Sixth Mainland, it doesn't have much of an impact. However, it's different for cultivators, especially the higher-level ones. In just two short years, the number of Explorers we have doubled, and the number of Hunters and Cruisers has nearly doubled as well. That's in addition to the warships that the Alliance has built."
"With our current strength, even if we don't rely on Leon's Armada and don't compete with the top experts, we'll still be able to easily defeat the Daynight clan. We're much stronger than any of the leading powers in the Eight Great Flowzones. Just think about how many space-exploring cultivators the Sword Seeker Sect, the Daynight clan, and Chaosgod Mountain have. We don't even lack Enlighters."
"What we lack is absolute powerhouses."
Lu Yin smiled. "We don't lack absolute powerhouses. I brought two powerhouses with power levels over 700,000, and if they work together, they can fight against powerhouses with power levels over 800,000. I can also borrow the power of the Interstellar Court at any time. Right, I'm also the most important disciple of the Sirius Sect."
Wang Wen rolled his eyes. "You really know how to play."
Lu Yin laughed. Putting aside the various troops of the Great Eastern Alliance, just the cultivators and androids that Wang Wen had mentioned were enough to attack the entire Innerverse.
"I want to form an invincible unit," Lu Yin suddenly said.
"What's the standard?"
"The ones you just mentioned. I want to equip them with the best preparations, and they'll even be able to challenge those who are a higher realm than them."
Wang Wen's interest was piqued. "The price to pay for this is too high."
Lu Yin seriously replied, "This is just the first step. If everything goes smoothly, this invincible unit will be promoted to all the other troops. You don't know how terrifying the enemies we'll face in the future will be."
Lu Yin was referring to the Everlasting Race. Those Corpse Kings were not afraid of death, and they were scheming and scheming. They were also researching all sorts of poisons and planting spies. Although the Cosmic Tree Domain had blocked the Everlasting Race and had many experts, including Progenitors, Lu Yin felt that it was already riddled with holes. This place was still fine.
He wanted to complete everything before the Everlasting Race completely attacked the Fifth Mainland.
Preparations.
Wang Wen was puzzled. "Are these the powerful enemies you mentioned?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Pass down the order. I've already prepared some mystical items for them."
Wang Wen nodded. "Alright. Right, the entire Great Eastern Alliance lacks a powerful commander."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "I have someone in mind."
The Great Eastern Alliance's Rapid Response Unit was composed of experts sent by the various major powers of the Great Eastern Alliance. They were responsible for protecting all of the Alliance's resources as quickly as possible. This unit had also participated in the overthrow of the Daynight clan in the Innerverse, and it was the Great Eastern Alliance's most elite unit.
The Rapid Response Unit's authority had always been in Lu Yin's hands. He had been missing for two years, and although the unit still existed, no one had been able to command it. Thus, it had enjoyed the best treatment. Now that Lu Yin had returned, the unit could finally be put to use again.
Just as Wang Wen had said, the Rapid Response Unit was constantly being added to. Including the androids, there were over 6,000 space-exploring cultivators at Lu Yin's disposal. This unit would become Lu Yin's sharpest blade, and when the time was right, he would even rename it.
In the Outerverse, in the Vastdearth Sect, Elder Huaqiao found Sect Master Meng Tianlong. "Sect Master, we lost contact with that unit."
Meng Tianlong was stunned. "What unit?"
Huaqiao solemnly replied, "The Rapid Response Unit."
Meng Tianlong was shocked. "How did it get cut off?
Was there an accident? "
"Lu Yin's back," Huaqiao said.
Meng Tianlong muttered, "You can't contact him at all?"
"We can't contact him. The people we placed in that unit are all elite disciples. We don't know what Lu Yin is planning."
Meng Tianlong bitterly replied, "No matter what he's planning, we can't stop him." In the beginning, no matter what the Great Eastern Alliance's army did, it could not be hidden from the various major powers, especially a weave like the Vastdearth Sect. However, as time passed, the Great Eastern Alliance had gradually consolidated, and they could no longer detect it. When Lu Yin returned, they did not even have a trace of control over the Great Eastern Alliance's army.
Forget about the Vastdearth Sect, even the Temple of Tai Mo was in the same situation. As one of the three major powers of the Outerverse that could not be provoked, the Temple of Tai Mo had also sent elite disciples to join the Rapid Response Unit, but they could not be contacted at all.
It was as if the entire unit had disappeared.
Lu Yin had cut off all contact with the Rapid Response Unit in order to prevent those monsters from infiltrating. He had a deep impression of the Redbacks.
In the Outerverse, on Zenyu Star, the group from the Wen family finally arrived.
The Wen family had sent a senior expert called Wen Yao and Wen Sansi.
Lu Yin met the two at King Zishan's palace.
When meeting Lu Yin, Wen Yao had thought that he could consider himself a senior, but the moment he saw Lu Yin, he knew that this was impossible. Lu Yin gave him an intense sense of danger, and it was a fear that made him unable to approach him.
Wen Yao had cultivated for hundreds of years and had experienced many life and death situations. He was certain that his intuition was not wrong; Lu Yin had the ability to decide his life and death.
This was just Lu Yin, and he could not be considered an expert of the Great Eastern Alliance.
Wen Yao could not understand how Lu Yin could reach such a level despite being in the same generation as Wen Sansi. No, he was even younger than Wen Sansi. No matter how powerful Wen Sansi was, it would be difficult for him to defeat Wen Yao. After all, Wen Sansi was a powerhouse with a power level of over 400,000.
"Wen Yao from the Wen family greets Alliance Master Lu." Wen Yao was very polite.
