Can you contact Madam Red? "Lu Yin asked.
Cang Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. If Cang Yi could contact Madam Red, then this person would be very useful.
He had not forgotten that Madam Red had captured the Sea King.
Cang Yi's existence was the best choice for Lu Yin to secretly control Chaosgod Mountain. Those who could support the Black Dome were all elite disciples of Chaosgod Mountain, and they had all gone into seclusion to cultivate. Cang Zhou was also in seclusion, so Cang Yi was enough to become Chaosgod Mountain's spokesperson.
Of course, this was only temporary. After a while, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Chaosgod Mountain lived up to its name as the leading power of the Chaos Flowzone. It directly and indirectly controlled several hundred dark organizations, and there were more than a million disciples who directly belonged to Chaosgod Mountain. There were also countless cultivators who obeyed Chaosgod Mountain.
In the past, Chaosgod Mountain had been able to order a purge of the entire Chaos Flowzone.
Under Cang Yi's leadership, Lu Yin obtained the wealth that Chaosgod Mountain had accumulated over the years, which had yet to be used up: 2.2 billion star essence.
The greater the power, the greater the expenses. Chaosgod Mountain was the power that Lu Yin had seen with the most star essence, and this was also thanks to the dark organizations that they controlled. This was all money that could not see the light of day. Otherwise, they would not have been able to keep so much.
2.2 billion star essence! Lu Yin's breathing quickened. He was rich, he was rich again! He now had a total of three billion star essence on him.
He would only feel at ease if he had enough money.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of causing chaos, he would have sold off the various materials and even power vessels that he had stored together with the star essence. Right, he would have also sold off all the dark organizations that he controlled, which would definitely be a huge sum.
The black-faced man asked for a meeting with Lu Yin. He wanted to leave, as he had personally witnessed the changes that had occurred at Chaosgod Mountain. Even though his power level was over 300,000 and he had weathered many storms, he still found it hard to believe.
One of the leading powers of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones had changed hands just like that, which made him feel uncontrollably nervous.
Lu Yin patted the man's shoulder. "Leave?
Is Chaosgod Mountain that beautiful?
Why would you leave?
Right, the Astral River has been sealed off recently, so you shouldn't go there. "
The man bitterly replied, "Not for now. I just want to go home."
Lu Yin smiled. "There's no rush. Stay here for now and help me keep an eye on those people from Chaosgod Mountain. My subordinates are all giants, so it's not convenient."
The man wanted to refuse, but Lu Yin's grip on his shoulder grew tighter and tighter. He had no choice but to stay.
He also knew that it would not be easy for him to leave. Lu Yin was secretly controlling Chaosgod Mountain, so how could Lu Yin possibly allow him to leave and risk exposing himself?
The black-faced man left, and Lu Yin met with Cang Zhou alone.
Cang Zhou was currently in a very sorry state. In order to prevent him from escaping, Big Sister Feihua had heavily injured him, making him look half dead.
"Senior, I'm really sorry. If I could, I wouldn't want to do this either, but this is a path I have to take," said Lu Yin indifferently.
Cang Zhou sighed, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth as he stared at Lu Yin. "I've already said that no one in Chaosgod Mountain is afraid of death. Even if you capture us, you won't be able to cover up the fact that something has happened to Chaosgod Mountain. Chaosgod Mountain cannot be without a leader for even a day."
"Correct. So Cang Yi is now the master of Chaosgod Mountain."
Cang Zhou's expression changed. "Cang Yi?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior, you don't know this, right?
Cang Yi has been working with a city in the Technocracy for many years. He's a traitor of the Fifth Mainland. "
"Impossible! Chaosgod Mountain doesn't have such a person!"
Lu Yin shook his head. "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. In any case, Cang Yi is now working for me. He'll govern Chaosgod Mountain well, and no one will find out."
Cang Zhou's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He angrily asked, "Where's Cang Yi?
I want to see him. "
"There's no need for that. In any case, you don't have to worry about me not being able to control Chaosgod Mountain. I'm only here to give you some peace of mind," Lu Yin said as he stared at Cang Zhou's face.
Of course, he was not that bored. He had only come to see Cang Zhou. He wanted to talk to Cang Zhou and see if he had missed anything. After all, Chaosgod Mountain was such a large organization that he might not be able to control it perfectly.
At that moment, Ku Wei walked in. "Master, someone from the Longevity Legion is here. They're looking for Cang Zhou."
Lu Yin was confused. "The Longevity Legion?"
He looked at Cang Zhou. "Why is the Longevity Legion looking for you?"
Cang Zhou replied, "They want to use Chaosgod Mountain to find some fugitives to explore the Cosmic Sea. Every once in a while, we'll send them a batch."
Lu Yin understood. The Cosmic Sea was dangerous, and they could not use their own people to explore it. Chaosgod Mountain controlled Chaos Flowzone, and they had many fugitives under them. It was normal for them to cooperate. "Have Cang Yi send a batch of fugitives to the Longevity Legion. Tell them that Cang Zhou is in seclusion."
"Yes, Master." Ku Wei hurriedly ran out.
Lu Yin could not find any useful information from his conversation with Cang Zhou, so he could only leave.
Elsewhere, in Chaos Flowzone, a spacecraft was heading towards the Cosmic Sea. It belonged to the Longevity Legion, and there were hundreds of fugitives imprisoned inside.
Inside the spacecraft, a man contacted the Cosmic Sea. "Captain, I couldn't see Cang Zhou, but he sent us a signal. Something has happened at Chaosgod Mountain." He then glanced at the fugitives.
"I understand." A low voice sounded out, and the call ended.
…
Two days had passed since Cang Zhou had been captured. During these two days, aside from the disciples who had been captured in the black dome, everything else had been normal. Cang Yi had appeared, and even if some people had their doubts, they had been suppressed.
Above the black dome, a total of 29 giants stood there, listening to Ku Wei's instructions. These giants obeyed Ku Wei's every word, and they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Yin looked on with admiration, as these giants were not weak at all.
Beep beep beep!
His gadget rang, and Lu Yin accepted the call. Wang Wen's voice came through. "We forgot something very important."
"What is it?" Lu Yin frowned, as Wang Wen rarely spoke in such a tone.
Wang Wen solemnly explained, "The Innerverse is considered a second-tier power in the Fifth Mainland, and it can easily suppress the Outerverse. However, a single power might not be able to suppress the Cosmic Sea, much less the Neoverse. So why have the eight great flowzones of the Innerverse rarely changed after so many years? You can think of ways to control Chaosgod Mountain, the Cosmic Sea, and the Neoverse, but the eight great flowzones are still doing well."
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Yin asked, as he had a bad feeling about this.
"Every ecosystem has its own way of stabilizing itself, and the Innerverse is no different. Even though the eight great flowzones are at odds with each other, I can guarantee that there are connections between them that we are unaware of. If something happens to one of them, the other powers will quickly find out. Otherwise, it will be too easy for them to be defeated one by one, and the final result will be that the eight great flowzones are no different.
In the end, the eight great flowzones will end up as vassals of other great powers, and they will no longer be independent. "
Lu Yin's fingers twitched as he listened quietly.
"The reason why we were able to establish the Great Eastern Alliance in the first place was because we grasped the secrets of the weaves' leading powers, which allowed us to easily suppress them. Also, do you remember the excuse we used to establish the Great Eastern Alliance?" Wang Wen asked.
Lu Yin recalled that he had told the Vastdearth Sect, Wan Qiancheng, and the other great powers that the reason for establishing the Great Eastern Alliance was to resist the pressure from the Innerverse. If the Outerverse wanted to resist the Innerverse, then the Innerverse naturally wanted to resist the Neoverse as well.
"The Great Eastern Alliance was established to stabilize the Outerverse. Otherwise, the Outerverse weaves' leading powers would be nothing more than puppets against the Innerverse. If not for the Hall of Honor's suppression, those leading powers would have long since disappeared."
"Perhaps the Innerverse doesn't fear the Neoverse because of the Hall of Honor's suppression," Lu Yin said.
Wang Wen was helpless. "That's impossible. The Outerverse isn't important, but the Innerverse is different. The Hall of Honor might even want to control it, let alone the behemoths of the Neoverse. Furthermore, the Four Tyrants of the Cosmic Ocean are also not to be trifled with. The Innerverse must have a stable structure, and if something happens to one of them, the other powers will quickly learn of it. This is a secret that only the leaders of the eight great flowzones know."
"There's not much time left. You need to quickly find out from Cang Zhou how to conceal the secret of what happened to Chaosgod Mountain. Otherwise, I believe that the Innerverse's other flowzones will definitely join forces, and the Blazing Mist Flowzone's internal war will also stop. Everything will become peaceful, and our plan will be for naught."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lu Yin grumbled. He had felt that everything was going too smoothly and that something was wrong. That was why he had met with Cang Zhou alone to see what was going on. However, Cang Zhou was too cunning, and Lu Yin couldn't see anything.
Wang Wen was helpless. "It's my fault this time. I didn't think of it and was too careless. Also, you acted too quickly."
Lu Yin ended the call and went to look for Cang Zhou.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cang Zhou sneered and closed his eyes. He didn't even look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin frowned. "You must have a way to let the Sword Sect and the other powers know that something happened to Chaosgod Mountain."
Cang Zhou calmly replied, "I do, but I can't tell you."
This was troublesome. Chaosgod Mountain's cultivators were the ones who could endure hardships. Furthermore, they had spent many years mingling with the dark powers and were used to all sorts of methods. Their endurance was incomparable to the average person's, and any method that Lu Yin could think of would be useless against Cang Zhou.
"I can cripple your Astral Origin Cyclone," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Cang Zhou opened his eyes and stared at Lu Yin. "That's better than having Chaosgod Mountain under your control. Since you guessed that there was a connection between us, then you should have also guessed that we had an agreement. Even if my Astral Origin Cyclone is crippled, my status in the Innerverse will not change. Besides, it doesn't matter if I don't have an astral source to fight in Chaosgod Mountain."
"If you cripple me, then the Sword Sect and the others will be even more wary of you."
While Lu Yin was in trouble, Wang Wen was also in trouble. The Sixth Mainland's Autumnfrost family had finally come looking for him.
Back then, the Autumnfrost family had sent Uncle Hua and a few others to take Di Fa to Aegis, but they had been captured by Lu Yin along the way. In order to hide Yu Mu's tracks, Lu Yin had not let any of them off and had locked them all up on Zenyu Star. However, there was no such thing as an absolute secret, and the Autumnfrost family had still come looking for him.
The Autumnfrost family did not contact Lu Yin, but instead sent an expert to Zenyu Star to ask for Uncle Hua and the others.
Fortunately, Frostwave Weave had Envoys, or else the Autumnfrost family's Imprinter would have been unbridled.
