Ling Qiu was excited. "Then, what about Lu Yin?"
Elder Yuan Shou fell silent for a moment before saying, "This kid has a strong background. If he attacks the Great Eastern Alliance, Everlasting Sky Island and the Hall of Honor won't say anything. However, we can't touch this kid. Let him be alone. Remember, you can't touch him."
"Got it. Then, I'll wait for the good news from the Sirius Sect," Ling Qiu said. Elder Yuan Shou's attitude towards Lu Yin made her feel at ease. It would be strange if he directly said that he wanted to eliminate Lu Yin.
"We will pass through the Cosmic Sea as soon as possible. Just wait patiently, Elder Yuan Shou." Elder Yuan Shou then ended the call.
Ling Qiu took a deep breath and looked south. She had not expected that the Sirius Sect would not be able to stand idly by at this time. But then again, it made sense. The Great Eastern Alliance was too chaotic, and the behemoths in the Neoverse were already wary of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones. Now that the Great Eastern Alliance had defeated the Eight Great Flowzones, their next target would definitely be the Neoverse.
The Cosmic Sea's Leon's Armada was Lu Yin's ally, and with the addition of Everlasting Island and the Hall of Honor, it would be strange if the Sirius Sect was not afraid.
Ling Qiu had not expected that even the Sirius Sect would be afraid. She thought back to when she had first become an Emissary and visited the Sirius Sect. She had seen many Emissary level elders, and she had even seen the unfathomable Elder Jiushen with a power level of over a million. If that Elder Jiushen had acted, then he alone would have been enough to destroy the Great Eastern Alliance. Even Master Yuan's help would have been useless.
With the Sirius Sect as external aid, she would no longer need to ally with the Sword Sect or the Beast Tamers Flowzone. Not only would that be a waste of effort, but it would also not be beneficial. In the end, they might not even be able to deal with Lu Yin. It would be better to wait for the Sirius Sect to act. The Lingling clan would only need to cover the tracks of the Sirius Sect disciples, and they would not even need to do anything.
When she thought of this, she immediately gave the order to subtly reject any alliance with the Sword Sect or the Beast Tamers Flowzone. Since it was difficult to form an alliance and Lu Yin was afraid that they would join forces and would even assassinate him, then there was no need for an alliance.....
On the other end, Elder Yuan Shou ended the call with an ugly expression and looked at Sect Master Yuan Qiong.
Yuan Qiong felt helpless.
"Sect Master, Lu Yin has gone too far! He actually wants us to cooperate with him to toy with the Lingling clan! If news of this spreads, our Heavenly Star Sect will lose all face!"
......................................................
Elder Yuan Shou gritted his teeth. "I've spoiled this brat too much."
Yuan Qiong couldn't do anything about it. Lu Yin's status in the Heavenly Star Sect was too special. Although he was only the leader of the outer disciples, he had the greatest inheritance of the Heavenly Star Sect under his feet. He was connected to the Supreme Sage Heavenly Master, Elder Gong, and other Half-Martial Ancestors. He also knew that Xia Ji had schemed against them, but had failed to obtain anything. The information and background he knew had nothing to do with age or cultivation.
To put it bluntly, if the Heavenly Star Sect had to choose between him and Lu Yin, he would have chosen to give up on himself, let alone play along.
"But Sect Master, will Lu Yin really set his sights on the Neoverse?" Elder Yuan Shou suddenly asked as he looked at Yuan Qiong.
Yuan Qiong's expression changed. "Let him be. But those people in the Neoverse are not to be trifled with. Even if he really unifies the Innerverse, he'll only be able to gain a foothold in the Neoverse. He won't be able to realize his ambitions there."
Elder Yuan Shou nodded. "I'm just afraid that our Sirius Sect will continue to be tied down by him. It's not like he can't do it."
When he heard this, Yuan Qiong's expression turned ugly.
Ling Qiu would never have thought that the grand Cosmic Sect would play along with Lu Yin's act and give her fake external aid. Even the Starsibyl Sect would not have thought that something like this would happen, let alone her. It was laughable, but it had actually happened.
Ling Qiu had believed that with the Sirius Sect's powerful external aid, they would not have to ally with the Sword Sect or the Beast Tamers Flowzone. They would have to ally with each other, but Lu Xuanjun and the giant's bloodline in the Great Eastern Alliance were enough to sweep through the cultivators of those two sects. They would not even fear the absolute powerhouses, and this was under the assumption that they had truly allied with each other.
Lu Yin put down his gadget and sighed. Wang Wen's third request for external aid had been fulfilled, and the Blazing Mist Flowzone was now truly under his control. Who would be next?
Of the Innerverse's eight great flowzones, Chaos Flowzone and Blazing Mist Flowzone belonged to him, and they were separated by a great distance. Erudite Flowzone did not dare to act against him, while Daynight Flowzone and Chaos Flowzone had sealed themselves. Only the First Flowzone, Spirit Seal Flowzone, and Beast Tamers Flowzone remained.
As he thought about this, he arrived at the Ross Empire's stronghold.
Sister Feihua was there to oversee the stronghold, and the Luo Emperor and the Dark Beast were unable to escape. Lu Xuanjun was suppressing the entire Ross Empire's stronghold, so no matter how many reinforcements came, it would be useless.
Within the Ross Empire's territory, there were tens of millions of soldiers, but only a million cultivators were truly capable of reinforcing the Ross Empire's stronghold, as there were only so many warships and fleets.
These people could not even withstand a single blow from Lu Xuanjun.
The Dragon Master descended upon the stronghold, and its enormous size shocked everyone present.
Big Sister Feihua was surprised, but only by the Dragon Master's appearance. In the Cosmic Tree Realm, there were mounts that surpassed the strength of an Emissary. Long Kui's pyrolyte far surpassed the Dragon Master's strength.
The Dark Beast was trapped by Feihua, and Luo Huang was still lying on the ground, half-dead.
When he saw the Dragon Master appear, his eyes flashed with a red light, but they soon dimmed.
The Dragon Master also saw the Luo Huang, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Back then, the Blazing Mist Flowzone had been split into three: Scarlet Lord, Luo Huang, and the Dragon Master. These three parties had restrained each other, but they had also joined forces to resist the outside world and control one of the eight great flowzones. Now, one had died, one had been captured, and one had submitted. All of this had been done by that young man.
When the Dragon Master saw the Luo Huang's miserable state, he did not dare to resist, as he was afraid that he would end up like the Luo Huang.
Aside from the Luo Huang, there were also many experts from the Ross Empire suppressed within the stronghold. Among them were Scholar Newmoon, Duke Blackhawk, who had returned from Ironblood Weave, and the expert who was second only to the Luo Huang. He was known as Thunder Axe, which was a title that represented the respect that the Ross Empire had for him.
At this moment, these people were all standing in front of Lu Yin, silently waiting.
Lu Yin was watching the videos on the network. These videos were all related to the Luo Huang, and they were all recordings of his battles.
Originally, Lu Yin had not been interested in the Luo Huang, but when the Luo Huang had subconsciously attacked, he had felt that something was off.
Normally, no matter who it was, in a moment of crisis, they would use their strongest attack, but the Luo Huang had used a beam of light from his mechanical arm.
This was not right, as this meant that the Luo Huang possessed technological power that surpassed that of an Emissary. Otherwise, how could his mechanical body display such power?
However, before he had decided to deal with the Ross Empire, Lu Yin had investigated the Luo Huang, and he had learned that the Luo Huang was a cultivator.
The Luo Huang was a cyborg, but he was also a cultivator. The reason why he could surpass an Emissary was because of the strength that he had obtained through cultivation. As for his technological power, it was only a support. However, during his battle with the Ice Empress on the Royal Frost Continent, as well as the sneak attack on Lu Yin, Lu Yin had also relied on technological power.
Where had the Luo Huang gotten the technology to allow his cyborg body to display power that surpassed that of an Emissary?
When the Giant's technology had reached that level, the Hall of Honor had been wary of it, and they had sent an expeditionary force to destroy it. The Luo Huang had been hiding his technological abilities all this time.
Lu Yin had once heard a rumor that the Ross Empire's technology had originated from unlocking sourceboxes, which was an ancient technology. However, after experiencing so many things, Lu Yin knew that if the Ross Empire truly possessed such technology, the Hall of Honor would not ignore it. The Luo Huang himself had also been hiding his technological abilities.
The video showed many of the Luo Huang's battles, and he had relied on his cultivation methods to fight. His technological abilities were indeed a support, and he had intentionally hidden them.
Lu Yin turned off the video and looked at the Luo Huang, who was still lying on the ground. His cyborg body had been severely damaged, and it was difficult for him to even stand up.
"Scholar Newmoon, can you please tell me how powerful the Ross Empire's technology is?" Lu Yin asked as he looked at the scholar.
Scholar Newmoon panicked, as he had always been afraid of death. He had been scared by Wendy Yushan back in East San Dios, and now, he had no intention of hiding anything from Lu Yin. "The most advanced technology can produce weapons with destructive power that surpasses that of an Enlighter. However, due to limited materials, such weapons are difficult to put into practical use. They've only been used a few times in the previous battle with the Sylvan Dragons, where they were able to kill an Enlighter."
Behind Lu Yin, Dragon Master's eyes widened. An Enlighter was one of the top powerhouses in the Sylvan Dragon Clan.
Lu Yin then looked at Thunder Axe. The Luo Huang had been heavily injured by Lu Yin, but this person did not even dare to attack. This meant that he was just as afraid of death as Scholar Newmoon. "Tell me."
Thunder Axe respectfully replied, "Scholar Newmoon is right. That is the Ross Empire's most advanced technology."
"Then, why does the Luo Huang have destructive power that surpasses an Emissary's?" Lu Yin asked as he looked at the Luo Huang lying on the ground.
Scholar Newmoon hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the Luo Huang is a cultivator, and if we look at the destructive power of a technological weapon, then he's at most an Enlighter."
Lu Yin waved his hand and dismissed everyone. He then walked over to the Luo Huang's side. The Luo Huang's mechanical eyes stared at him, but Lu Yin did not know what the Emperor could see.
"Tell me. I'm very curious. You've used more than one technological method in a crisis that surpasses an Emissary's power level. This isn't something that the Innerverse should possess," Lu Yin said calmly.
The Luo Huang's eyes flickered with a red light, and the frequency at which they flickered increased.
Lu Yin frowned. "If you don't tell me, then die." He then raised a hand, and Overlaying Stacks shook the void and tore apart space itself. The Astral Source Universe was faintly visible, and at the same time, there were traces of golden battle force streaking past.
The Luo Huang spoke up. "I obtained it."
"Is that so?" Lu Yin did not believe him.
The Luo Huang continued, "I obtained it in the Technocracy."
Lu Yin's brows rose. "What do you mean?"
The red light in the Luo Huang's eyes flickered faster and faster, and Lu Yin remained vigilant. Finally, the red light converged to form a screen in the air that showed a person's perspective.
"What's this?"
The person in the screen was a woman with traces of mechanical stitches around her ears. She was clearly a female android.
"This is something that I just obtained from my lockbreaking. Take a look. It records an unprecedented technology that can unleash a destructive power that surpasses 500,000," the female android said excitedly as she held a palm-sized, square-shaped crystal in her hand. It was very beautiful.
"Really?"
Suddenly, a hand shot out from behind the female android and pierced through her body to grab the square-shaped crystal. The person in the screen grabbed the crystal at the same time.
"Let go."
The person in the screen did not say anything. He simply raised his hand, and a beam of light shot out. Everything in the screen exploded, and the screen shut down.
