"Nonsense!" Nightqueen Siluo shouted angrily.
Nightqueen Yanqing, Nightking Gu, and the others glared at Lu Yin with hatred, while Zhuo Daynight looked at him with a complicated expression.
Lu Yin had personally exposed their true colors. Behind their incomparably arrogant natures was the sorrow of being a slave and being controlled.
"The First Nightking personally destroyed the truth behind the Daynight clan, and I've helped you see yourselves clearly. You should be thanking me. Forgetting history is the same as betraying yourself. The Sealed Cage Technique is the source of your bloodline," Lu Yin said calmly. He didn't care about the impact his words would have on the Daynight clan, and he simply kicked them into the abyss.
He looked at Zhuo Daynight apologetically and sighed. "You can't accept it?"
Zhuo Daynight smiled bitterly. "So what?
Regardless of whether it's the Daynight clan or the Nightking bloodline, we're all being controlled. We're already familiar with the Sealed Cage Technique. It's just a different person. "
Lu Yin said, "I'll remove the Sealed Cage Technique for you and the Daynight clan."
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin. "This is a bloodline control. Will removing it work?"
Lu Yin fell silent. Removing it was useless, as this sort of control could never be removed. It had been passed down from generation to generation, and it could only be removed if one had the strength of a Half-Ancestor.
"Can you promise me something?" Zhuo Daynight asked in a low voice as she looked at Lu Yin expectantly.
Lu Yin earnestly replied, "What is it?"
Zhuo Daynight stared at Lu Yin. "After you, there will be no more Sealed Cage Technique. Similarly, after you, there will be no more Nightkings."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he thought about it. "Alright, I promise you."
The saddest thing for a race was to be controlled by someone else. If Lu Yin wanted to remove the control of the Daynight clan's Caged Cage Technique, then the only way was to make the Caged Cage Technique disappear forever. Lu Yin could use the Caged Cage Technique to control the Daynight clan because they were his enemies, but what about his descendants?
Zhuo Daynight did not want the Daynight clan to be slaves forever and become puppets under the Sealed Cage Technique. Her Daynight bloodline had already experienced this kind of pain.
She would rather have the Nightking bloodline and the entire Daynight clan disappear than allow them to remain under Sealed Cage Technique forever.
Lu Yin did not like the Sealed Cage Technique, but he needed the Daynight clan for now.
While he was practicing the Caged Technique, he had been thinking about it.
The Lu Xuanjun Army might not be sufficient for future battles, so he needed to form at least three legions. The Lu Xuanjun Army would be one of them, and the giant bloodline could be the second. As for the third legion, it would be formed by former enemies, such as the Daynight clan or the sylvan dragons. This legion would be called the Heavenly Sin Legion.
The Heavenly Sins Army was made up of enemies, so it was natural that they could not be trusted. However, the Daynight clan was a different story. The Daynight clan would never be able to resist Lu Yin, and they were more trustworthy than anyone else. The Heavenly Sins Army was mostly made up of Daynight clan members.
Once the three legions matured, he would be able to point his sword at the Starry Sky Tree. Of course, that did not mean that he could defeat them. The Starry Sky Tree was too strong, and he could only challenge them.
Regardless of whether or not the Daynight clan could accept it, their lives were now in Lu Yin's hands.
Nightking Yuanjing was the happiest, as he did not have to die.
Lu Yin had never intended to kill Nightking Yuanjing, as he and Nightking Yuanjing were merely using each other.
Many members of the Nightking bloodline could not accept being controlled by the Caged Technique and committed suicide, but most of them could only accept the reality.
Only Lu Yin, Zhuo Daynight, and a few others knew that he had taken control of the Daynight clan. Even Ku Wei and Liu Yefei did not know about it.
Within the ruins of the Immortal Sect.
This time, he had dealt with the Sword Sect on the surface, but in reality, he had taken down the Daynight clan. This had alarmed the entire Innerverse. What made Lu Yin the most helpless was that Elder Yuan Shou had told him that Ling Qiu had seen him being rescued by Elder Jiushen. He knew that he could no longer hide it from Ling Qiu.
Now, he would have to face the resistance of half of the Innerverse.
Fortunately, the blood debt that he had created in the Blazing Mist Flowzone could not be erased in a short period of time. However, even the Daynight clan had been subdued by him. Outside of the eight major flowzones, the other smaller flowzones in the Innerverse would definitely be wary of him.
Lu Yin was discussing something with Wang Wen when a wail rang out from the distance, and then blood dyed the heavens.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he looked into the distance. Dragon Master's rune lines were rapidly decreasing, and he knew that something was wrong. He stepped forward and hurried over.
In outer space, an enormous sylvan dragon was drenched in blood. It was Dragon Master.
By the time Lu Yin arrived, Dragon Master was already on the verge of death. His head had been torn apart, and his wings had been cut off and scattered throughout the heavens.
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, and he looked around. He saw a boundless amount of rune lines flying off into the distance, and just as he was about to give chase, the flying willow leaves appeared. "It's an expert."
Lu Yin stopped and stared into the distance. Those rune lines belonged to Liu Qianjue, and he had not hidden them at all.
It wasn't just Liu Qianjue. Lu Yin looked in other directions and saw Ling Qiu and the Mountain God. They had all taken action and instantly killed Dragon Master.
This was a warning to Lu Yin, and it was also a way to destroy the Great Eastern Alliance's power.
He had been too careless. Everything had been going smoothly for him all this time, and he had thought that he had everything under control. How could the leaders of the eight major flowzones be so passive? Lu Yin had taken down the Blazing Mist Flowzone by surprise, and then he had taken down the Daynight Flowzone in a covert manner. This had indeed caught them off guard, but they had reacted quickly and joined forces.
Killing Dragon Master was equivalent to killing one of the Great Eastern Alliance's Emissaries. Their next target would definitely be the Great Eastern Alliance's Emissaries and eliminate them one by one.
Dragon Master was just the first target.
Lu Yin looked at the pitiful Dragon Master, who was already dead. It had died a miserable death. Lu Yin had eliminated the Great Eastern Alliance's remaining power, and it had also served as a warning to the Innerverse.
The worst case scenario had occurred after the Daynight Flowzone's battle, and the Innerverse would be fully united.
"In my name, I'll appoint a general." Lu Yin chased away the flying willow leaves and then appointed Dragon Master by himself.
Even though Dragon Master was not trusted by Lu Yin, he had still submitted to him. Liu Qianjue had given him a slap in the face.
Lu Yin's expression darkened, and he sent Dragon Master's corpse to Wang Wen.
Wang Wen only replied with six words: "Withdraw from the Daynight Flowzone."
Only a few people knew that Lu Yin had taken control of the Daynight Flowzone. Even Wei Rong did not know, but Wang Wen was one of Lu Yin's most trusted people, so he naturally knew.
Since he had already taken control of the Daynight clan, there was no need for him to publicly announce it. On the contrary, withdrawing from the Daynight Flowzone would confuse Liu Qianjue and the others even more.
The reason was simple: the Third Nightking.
A few days later, the Frigid Immortal Sect's ruins attracted even more cultivators, including people from the Sirius Sect and the Seven Courts.
Lu Yin ordered the Great Eastern Alliance to withdraw from the Daynight Flowzone.
The Daynight clan returned to normal.
This decision shocked Liu Qianjue and the others, but it also puzzled them. It had not been easy to take down the Daynight Flowzone, but now they were withdrawing?
They were not the only ones; everyone in the universe who heard this news was at a loss.
However, news soon spread that the Third Nightking was about to return.
Distance Chill
Not far from the Immortal Sect's ruins, Liu Qianjue, the Mountain God, Ling Qiu, and Wen Zizai gathered together and watched the giant's bloodline and Lu Xuanjun's army retreat. They had seen the Daynight clan regain their freedom.
"They're truly free. All of the experts from the Great Eastern Alliance have withdrawn from the Daynight Flowzone," the Mountain God said with some hesitation.
Liu Qianjue frowned. "That's impossible. With Lu Yin's personality, how could he possibly give up after taking down the Daynight clan?"
"I don't think it's possible either," Ling Qiu said.
Wen Zizai shook his head. "If the Third Nightking is determined to return, then Lu Yin won't be able to do anything even if he's guarding the Daynight Flowzone. You've all experienced the Second Nightking's strength, and it's rumored that the Third Nightking's innate talent and strength surpass the Second Nightking's."
"I don't know how the Second Nightking managed to survive, but I don't believe that the Third Nightking was able to survive after increasing his strength. They're characters from ancient times, and they were very strong back then. However, even if they sealed themselves in ice, it's impossible for them to have increased their strength to this day. They should have weakened a lot, and at most, they should be on par with us," Ling Qiu said.
"Everyone, do you still remember when the Great Eastern Alliance took down the Blaze Realm and then withdrew?" Liu Qianjue asked.
Wen Zizai's eyes flashed. "Are you saying that Lu Yin did it on purpose?"
Liu Qianjue raised his head. "Whether or not it's on purpose depends on what he does. If he only withdrew from the Daynight Flowzone and took root in the surrounding regions, then it's on purpose. The few of us killed the Dragon Lord, and he's very clear about our next targets, which are the Emissaries by his side. Setting aside Emperor Luo for now, we must eliminate the Flying Willow Flower that's protecting him. There's also the people from the Sea King's Dome hidden in the Outerverse, as well as the tribe leader of the giant tribe.
"So what if he retreats? We won't retreat." Ling Qiu sneered.
Liu Qianjue looked at Ling Qiu seriously. "I hope that you remember your words. I don't know why you suddenly stopped, but you should know that we have no other way out. Either Lu Yin unifies the Innerverse, or we defeat the Great Eastern Alliance and put an end to Lu Yin's ambitions of entering the Innerverse."
Ling Qiu snorted. She had not told anyone about what had happened before, as it had been too embarrassing. She had been tricked by the Sirius Sect, and she was very sure that she had been tricked. At this moment, she was even more eager to deal with Lu Yin than Liu Qianjue.
"There's something that's a little troublesome. There's always some absolute experts appearing by Lu Yin's side," the Mountain God said.
Liu Qianjue sneered. "As long as we don't deal with him, it'll be fine. It's time for us to make a trip to the Divine Gu Dynasty and have a chat with Young Empress Qing. Does he really think that he'll be safe if he defends the Gu Flowzone to his death?"
In outer space, the giant bloodline and Lu Xuanjun headed towards the Blazing Mist Flowzone. They were all traveling through outer space, so their speed was not very fast.
Lu Yin looked back and saw a rather spectacular scene. If there weren't any Envoy-level powerhouses, then the giant bloodline and Lu Xuanjun alone would be enough to sweep through the Innerverse.
The only problem was that they were too slow, and they lacked transportation.
Liu Qianjue and the others were definitely watching them, but Lu Yin had not done anything this time. He had truly released the Daynight clan members. Of course, no one would expose the Caged Cage technique, so Liu Qianjue and the others would not know about it.
From what they knew, besides the death of Nightking Di Jiang, the Daynight clan had not changed much. No, there would be changes in the future because the Third Nightking would return. Otherwise, why would the Great Eastern Alliance retreat?
Lu Yin had taken great pains to find a reason for the Daynight clan to threaten him.
Beep beep beep beep!
His gadget beeped, and Lu Yin glanced at it. He was surprised to see that it was an internal message from Astral-10. Only Astral-10's mentors and students could contact him internally. He took a look and saw that it was Old Cai.
