I will request the Interstellar Court to immediately punish Highsage Leon and expose all the crimes he has committed over the years. We will also eradicate the pirates he's been protecting and throw them all into Kun's Swamp, "Mister You said coldly.
"Mister You, you've never said these words before," Si Hong said.
Mister You replied seriously, "There's no chance. If there's a chance, I'll be the first to support eliminating Leon's Armada and these pirates."
Mister You's attitude made the other directors realize something. Could it be that the Immortal's Armada wanted to participate as well?
If that was the case, then Leon's Armada was in danger.
"I support Mister You. Leon's Armada has protected too many evil people, and they must be eliminated," Nightking Zheng said.
Liu Ran also spoke up. "I support Mister You as well."
"I support," Cong Ying said. He did not care about Leon's Armada, but he still cared about the Giant Financial Group. The Giant Financial Group had joined forces with Leon's Armada to establish the Continental Shipping Company. If they did not eliminate Leon's Armada, then they would never be able to get rid of the Giant Financial Group.
Nan Yuan also agreed. As the representative of the Seven Courts in the Hall of Honor, he was also a member of the Xia family, so he naturally agreed.
With more than half of the directors agreeing, the Board of Directors would formally request the Interstellar Court to punish Highsage Leon and Leon's Armada.
Bu Lao frowned and sent another message to Lu Yin.
In the Innerverse, Lu Yin was rushing towards the Cosmic Sea when he saw Bu Lao's message. He reminded Big Sis and the others to pay attention to the Immortal's Armada while also contacting the head judge.
He could not interfere with the Board of Directors' decision, so he could only contact the Interstellar Court. That was his senior brother's territory.
However, the head judge could not reach him, so he had no choice but to contact Mu En.
This time, he managed to contact Mu En.
"Sir, has the Board of Directors submitted the decision to punish Highsage Leon and Leon's Armada to the Interstellar Court?" Lu Yin asked.
"This is confidential, so I can't tell you," Mu En replied.
Lu Yin immediately asked, "Is there any way to stop it?"
Mu En shook his head. "Lu Yin, you're a smart person, and you should know that the Interstellar Court is the Hall of Honor's blade. The blade is not the blade itself, but the brains. The Board of Directors is the brains of the Hall of Honor, and I can tell you that they have indeed submitted the decision to punish Highsage Leon, but …"
"But what?"
Mu En said, "But the head judge is in seclusion, so he is unable to handle the case. He has handed it over to the three of us, but this involves Highsage Leon and the Long Sky Island behind him. We do not have the authority to make a decision, so for the time being, we can only send some people into Cosmic Ocean to observe and wait for the head judge to come out of seclusion before making a decision."
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. "I understand. Thank you, Chief Judge Muen."
"Lu Yin, the Head Inquisitor is a very fair person. I don't know what relationship you have with the Head Inquisitor, but the Board of Governors has already decided to punish Highsage Leon, and the Head Inquisitor will definitely carry it out. He will not be biased because of you, so you must be mentally prepared," Mu En said.
Lu Yin ended the call, but Mu En's words made his heart sink. It seemed that this senior was a truly fair person, so there was nothing he could do. He touched his cosmic ring. Since you're in seclusion, I'll make this decision for you.
Back at World Mountain, after returning from the council meeting, Cong Ying contacted Xi Gu, the commander of the expeditionary force. Using the reason that the Interstellar Court could not immediately make a ruling, he requested that the expeditionary force head to the Innerverse and eliminate the Titans.
The reason was that the Giant Financial Group would support Leon's Armada.
Cong Ying was from the expeditionary force, and he had a great influence within the organization. Now that he was requesting the expeditionary force to move out as a director, the expeditionary force could either accept or reject the request, but Xi Gu chose to accept.
Even if he knew that this reason was fake, it did not matter. When did the expeditionary force ever need to explain its actions to others? Besides, this was a request from a director.
The war in the Cosmic Sea escalated, and many guessed that the Immortal Squadron had joined the battlefield. Their target was Leon's Armada.
The rain of stones was still falling, and Highsage Leon forced Annihilation back with a single slash. Although Annihilation was strong, he could not stop Leon, and half of his shoulder was almost cut off.
Highsage Leon looked into the distance and saw the Immortal Squadron's giant warship. His face sank. "Two-faced."
"Are you talking about me, Brother Leon?" A figure walked out from nearby with a spear on his back and calmly looked at Highsage Leon.
Highsage Leon was not surprised by this person's appearance. "Ji Qiang, your Immortal Squadron has a good relationship with my Leon's Armada. Why are you here?"
Ji Qiang raised his head. "It's time to change the environment of the Cosmic Sea."
Highsage Leon sneered. "Isn't it because of the Xia family?"
Ji Qiang's eyes narrowed. "I don't know what Brother Leon is talking about."
Highsage Leon wielded his overlord blade. "Cut the crap. Since you're here, you should be prepared to die. Today, I'll wipe both of you out." He then raised his blade and slashed at Ji Qiang.
The Astral Source was majestic as it swept across the battlefield. All of the cultivators stopped fighting and subconsciously looked over, but they did not see Highsage Leon and the others. They had already entered the Astral Source Universe.
Of the Four Pirate Squadrons, Highsage Leon was publicly recognized as the strongest. Annihilation alone could not fight against him, so Ji Qiang had come to deal with Highsage Leon.
The Immortal Squadron was very powerful. Although they could not compare to Leon's Armada, they were still slightly stronger than Annihilation's Armada. When they joined forces with Annihilation, Leon's Armada immediately fell into a disadvantage.
However, this was only Leon's Armada. Highsage Leon was the Pirate King, and when he had dealt with the Daynight clan, he had called upon countless pirates from the Innerverse to overthrow the Daynight Flowzone, causing the Daynight clan, one of the most powerful families in the Innerverse, to plummet.
Countless pirates rushed over from all directions, and most of them came from the Innerverse.
They could not enter the Cosmic Sea on their own. It was precisely because of Lu Yin's warning that Highsage Leon had made preparations and sent people to bring them into the Cosmic Sea ahead of time.
The Immortal Squadron and countless pirates joined the battle, causing the battle to escalate. Aside from the Sixth Mainland's invasion, there had never been such a large-scale battle in the Cosmic Sea, and there were five Emissaries involved.
Three of the Cosmic Sea's Four Pirate Squadrons had appeared, and many people looked towards the fourth, the Corps. They wanted to know if they would act.
Battles between cultivators did not happen overnight. Some lasted for days, while others lasted for dozens of days. Some even lasted for years.
Two days later, the stone rain stopped, and a school of strange fish appeared. These strange fish took shape in the air, and they moved through the battlefield as if they were migrating, bringing with them countless deaths. A layer of corpses floated on the surface of the sea, both human and fish corpses.
Lu Yin had already arrived at the Cosmic Sea and was not far from the battlefield when he suddenly received a message from Wen Zizai.
"Alliance Master Lu, how is Leon's Armada?" Wen Zizai asked.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm not sure. That's the universe.
The Cosmic Sea's Four Pirate Squadrons have nothing to do with me. "
"Alliance Master Lu, there's no need to pretend. The Sword Sect's opponent is Leon's Armada. Alliance Master Lu must have known this long ago, which is why you asked my family to delay the Sword Sect. I wonder how Leon's Armada is doing and whether they can stop the Pyrolyte Squadron. If the Immortal Squadron and Chaosgod Mountain can't stop them, my family can help." Wen Zizai smiled, his tone relaxed.
"Thank you, Senior. It's just three clowns, so it won't be difficult to deal with them."
"What if someone else participates?
For example, the Sword Sect? "
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, as his greatest worry had come true. The Wen family would not be willing to be controlled, and they would definitely use this to threaten him. "What do you mean, Senior?"
"Haha, Leon's Armada might be able to temporarily block the enemy's attacks, and if Alliance Master Lu arrives in time, it's not impossible to turn defeat into victory. I believe that Alliance Master Lu has already arrived at the Cosmic Sea, but if the Sword Sect or even my Wen family joins in, what will happen?
There's no need for anyone else. Liu Qianjue and I, Wen Zizai, are enough to determine the outcome of this battle and break the balance. "
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin barked.
Wen Zizai exhaled, feeling very comfortable. During this period of time, the entire Wen family had been controlled by Lu Yin because of Wen Shizi, and even he, the family head, was no exception. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but he had never expected that the battle in the Cosmic Sea would reverse the situation. Now, it was not Lu Yin who was threatening them, but Wen Zizai himself.
"What if I say that Alliance Master Lu knows? Are you going to force me to meet you in the Cosmic Sea?
Perhaps Liu Qianjue will also be involved. Right, if we show up, the Beast Tamers Flowzone's Mountain God might not be able to sit still. There's also the Lingling clan. Alliance Master Lu, you need to think this through. "
Lu Yin's tone was gloomy. "You're threatening me."
"Isn't this what Alliance Master Lu is good at?
Wen Shizi is a member of my Wen family. Alliance Master Lu, don't you think that you're going overboard by constantly raising conditions?
Alliance Master Lu, you just need to return Wen Shizi to the Wen family, and my family will guarantee that we'll continue to delay the Sword Sect so that the battle in the Cosmic Sea will not escalate. Otherwise, this battle might affect the Innerverse and Outerverse. "
Lu Yin took a deep breath as his eyes flickered.
Beside him, Mister Liu Ye frowned. Lu Yin's current situation was not very good. His background could only make it difficult for others to act against him, but it was possible to destroy the power that he controlled. The reason why many unparalleled powerhouses acted alone was because they did not want to have any attachments.
"Sometimes, taking a step back isn't necessarily a bad thing," Mister Liu Ye suddenly spoke up.
"What does this have to do with you? Shut up!" Feihua glared at Mister Liu Ye, signaling for him to shut up.
Mister Liu Ye looked at her helplessly and then continued, "You secretly dealt with Chaosgod Mountain so that others would lower their guard. You took this opportunity to take a step back and preserve your strength as much as possible. To you, it's just taking a step back, but to others, your threat has greatly decreased. This should be the result that you want."
Lu Yin raised his head. "The result is what I want, but the process isn't."
Feihua sneered. "What, do you still have a plan?
If the person behind you makes a move, then it'll affect the balance of the universe. Others will be on high alert, and you'll become the target that many people are most wary of. "
Lu Yin knew what she meant. Whether it was Master Yuan, the Head Inquisitor, or even Elder Chan, who had always been friendly to him, they could easily resolve this problem and end the war. However, if they did so, then the Eight Great Flowzones of the Innerverse would definitely unite immediately. The Cosmic Sea's Sea Legion, the Longevity Legion, and even the Neoverse's Seven Courts would all treat him as their primary target.
This would have a huge impact on his next plan.
