In the outside world, Old Man Cangqiong frowned. It had been ten days, and this woman was still stubborn. However, Progenitor Wushang's hide was definitely in her hands. The five weaves had been part of her promise to Lu Yin in exchange for Progenitor Wushang's hide. She was smart enough to come up with a new excuse to deal with Qing Hua Shangren.
"I'll say it one more time. Hand over Progenitor Wushang's hide, or I'll torture you for the rest of your life!"
Madam Red screamed in despair, "Let me out! I-I really don't have Progenitor Wushang's hide!"
"Hmph." Old Man Cangqiong turned to leave, as this woman would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Kun's Swamp connected the Innerverse and the Cosmic Sea. It was not large, but it was the most secure prison in the entire Fifth Mainland, and it held the most vicious criminals.
On this particular day, a pig that was a thousand meters long and a hundred meters tall was running frantically, panting heavily. "Something big has happened! Something big has happened!" It screamed as it ran, but it suddenly bumped into a toe. It looked up and saw a drop of water falling from above. It looked like a drop of water, but to the pig, it was like a waterfall that smashed into its body.
The pig choked and coughed repeatedly. "What strong wine! Lord Pig can't drink it! Can't drink it!"
"What's with the noise? Little piggy, do you want to be roasted and eaten?
Hahahaha! "Loud laughter echoed throughout Kun's Swamp, and countless chains rattled. Many of the prisoners had pained expressions as they were tortured by this laughter.
Lord Pig hurriedly said, "Shh, shh! Lord Hell Overseer, those prisoners won't be able to take it. Keep your laughter down!"
"It's best if they die. Those who shouldn't have died are all dead, and those who should have lived longer than anyone else. Just die, hahahaha!"
"Lord Tea's father can't take it anymore."
"Cough, cough. Let's go take a look. Don't die."
"Alright." Lord Pig was about to leave when his ears suddenly perked up. "No, that's not it. Lord Hell Overseer, something big has happened."
Another drop of wine splashed onto Lord Pig's body. "Is there anything else?"
Lord Pig gulped. "The head inquisitor sent over a prisoner with a powerful background."
The Hell Overseer was surprised. "Powerful background?
What background?
Tell me. "
Lord Pig swallowed hard. "The … the Second Nightking."
The atmosphere fell silent as Lord Pig waited for the Hell Overlord to say something. However, a massive head appeared in front of him, and its large eyes stared at Lord Pig, giving him a fright. "The Second Nightking?
Isn't he dead? "
"He's not dead. He's been in the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect all this time. When he came out, he was captured," Lord Pig replied.
The Hell Master was surprised. "You were caught as soon as you came out?
Hahahaha, how unlucky. That guy is really a big shot. He's lived for so long, but he was captured as soon as he came out. Go, lock him up. I don't care if he's a big shot, he has to listen to me since he's in Kun's Swamp, hahaha! "
"Shhh! Your Excellency, Sir Tea's father can't take it anymore."
"Ahem, let's go take a look. Don't die."
"Alright."
Chains extended from the ground, imprisoning many vicious people.
Lord Pig ran around madly, shuttling back and forth as he locked up the Second Nightking. At the same time, he spread the news of the Second Nightking throughout Kun's Swamp.
Liu Huang opened his eyes. "The Second Nightking?
What an ancient character. Once he's here, it'll be even easier for the rebellion to break out. But we'll have to wait for him to recover a little. Hell Masters aren't easy to deal with.

Soon. "
…
In outer space, Lu Yin looked towards the west with a regretful expression.
Nightking Dijiang was dead, and the Second Nightking was imprisoned. This battle with the Daynight clan would have been perfect if not for the Sealed Cage Technique, but because of it, Lu Yin felt like he had suffered a great loss.
Nightking Dijiang's death was one thing, but the Second Nightking was an absolute powerhouse who had surpassed Master Yuan. If Lu Yin could use the Sealed Cage Technique to subdue the Second Nightking, he would be able to do as he pleased. Who in the entire Fifth Mainland could stop him aside from Half-Ancestors and the head inquisitors?
Even if he went to the Sixth Mainland's territory, he would be able to flaunt his might.
Lu Yin could not allow the Second Nightking to be imprisoned so comfortably. He had to make use of this perfect fighter.
He had to hurry to Kun's Swamp and get there before the rebellion broke out.
"Alliance Master Lu, shouldn't we settle our matter?" Mr. Liu Ye and Sister Feihua arrived behind Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at them, confused. "What matter?"
Sister Feihua raised her brows. "Why? Has Alliance Master Lu forgotten?
You promised us that if we went to the ruins and killed Nightking Dijiang, you would return our freedom. "
Lu Yin frowned. "You guys killed Nightking Dijiang?"
Sister Feihua coldly replied, "Although we didn't kill him, he died because of us. If not for us, he wouldn't have hidden in the meeting hall and died at the hands of those spiritual force remnants."
Mr. Liu Ye calmly replied, "Alliance Master Lu, we've followed you for so long, and we know what kind of person you are. That's why we were willing to take the risk and go to the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect. Those are the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Alliance Master Lu should understand how determined we were at that time. Of course, if not for the head inquisitor's order, we would have met the same fate as Nightking Dijiang. "
"We almost died. Alliance Master Lu won't go back on his word, right?" Sister Feihua stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment. "Fine, I'll return your freedom."
Mr. Liu Ye and Feihua looked at each other in delight.
"However, you guys have to do one last thing with me," Lu Yin said.
Sister Feihua angrily replied, "Alliance Master Lu, are you going back on your word?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Nightking Dijiang died because of you, but he also died because of me. If Elder Jiu Shen and I hadn't been discovered by the spiritual force remnants of the Frigid Immortal Sect, he wouldn't have died. You guys only deserve half of the credit, and the only reason you're still alive is because of the external items I lent you. Your mission can only be considered half complete. I'm giving you your freedom because you helped me before, and not just because of this matter."
Sister Feihua wanted to speak, but she was stopped by Mr. Liu Ye. "What does Alliance Master Lu want us to do?"
Lu Yin looked to the west and said, "Accompany me to Kun's Swamp."
"Kun's Swamp?" The two were puzzled, as they clearly did not know who Lu Yin was.
Lu Yin had no interest in talking to them, so he directly contacted Elder Chan. When he had returned from the Cosmic Tree Realm, Elder Chan had given him a way to contact him.
Liu Ye and Feihua had come from the Cosmic Tree Realm, and they had followed Lu Yin because a sourcebox array had been placed in their bodies to prevent them from causing trouble on the Fifth Mainland. Now that they were free, Lu Yin had to explain the situation to Elder Chan.
After a while, Lu Yin said to Liu Ye and Feihua, "I've already spoken to Elder Chan. I can give you your freedom, but you have to be under observation. After leaving me, you have to go to the Realm Mountains for a period of time. Only with Elder Chan's approval will you be allowed to roam the Fifth Mainland freely. At that time, I can also remove the sourcebox array for you."
(This chapter is not complete. Please turn the page.)
Liu Ye and Feihua were delighted. "Can you really remove the sourcebox array in our bodies?"
Lu Yin smiled. "You guys have helped me a lot. During this time that you've followed me, you've seen through me, and I've seen through you. That's why I promised Elder Chan that you wouldn't cause trouble. I hope that you won't disappoint me."
Mr. Liu Ye hurriedly said, "Thank you, Alliance Master Lu."
Feihua looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. She had never thought that Lu Yin would help them in the end. "Thank you, Alliance Master Lu."
Lu Yin said, "Kun's Swamp is the Fifth Mainland's prison, and the Second Nightking is imprisoned there. I have some matters to attend to there, and I'll have to trouble the two of you with this trip. After your trip to Kun's Swamp, you can head directly to the Realm Mountains of the new universe."
Liu Ye and Feihua had been protecting Lu Yin ever since they had returned from the Cosmic Tree Realm, and Lu Yin was already used to it. Now that the two were about to leave, he was a little reluctant to part with them, mainly because he did not have such good bodyguards.
Right, there was one more thing. He immediately contacted Three Liang and asked about Wan Gong's progress.
Three Liang only replied after three full days. "Wan Gong just replied to me. He said that his progress is quite good, but there's still one final problem that he can't solve. He said something about the materials being too heavy to bear."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "What else did he say?"
"Just that one sentence. He doesn't seem to be able to contact me that easily anymore," Three Liang replied respectfully. Ever since Lu Yin had warned him, his attitude had become even more respectful than before.
Lu Yin was not surprised by Wan Gong's situation. Microarray technology was the Aurora Corporation's most confidential project, and if Wan Gong could make a breakthrough, then he must be one of the company's core executives. Different treatment naturally meant different supervision.
After this, it would not be easy for Three Liang to contact Wan Gong again. He would have to make another trip to the Aurora Fort.
Materials?
It should be the bark of the mother tree. Was that the final obstacle?
Lu Yin was really looking forward to it!
But if it really was the bark of the mother tree, where would he find it?
This was a difficult problem.
Seven days had passed by the time Lu Yin returned to the Blazing Mist Flowzone, and the Money Bombs from Astral-10 had also arrived.
When he saw that there were more than 4,000 Money Bombs, Lu Yin was excited and immediately announced that he would go into seclusion.
He knew what Liu Qianjue and the others were thinking; they wanted to defeat the Emissaries under his command one by one. Currently, the Flying Willow Leaf and Emperor Luo were both at the Ross Empire's stronghold. Even if Liu Qianjue and the others joined forces and brazenly attacked him, it would be useless.
The Great Eastern Alliance withdrew from the Daynight Flowzone and directly returned to the Blazing Mist Flowzone, which surprised Liu Qianjue and the others. They were truly shocked, as they had thought that Lu Yin was only planning to withdraw from the Daynight Flowzone and stay in a smaller flowzone nearby. They had never expected that he would actually return to the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
They could not figure it out for a while. Was the Third Nightking really returning?
Lu Yin found a secluded place in the Ross Empire's stronghold and went into seclusion. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. Aside from the Money Bombs, there was also the square-shaped power vessel that he needed to upgrade. Right, there was also the Astral Origin Pill.
He currently had more than three billion star essence on him, and he could spend them as he pleased.
He tapped the die, and it slowly spun before stopping. He rolled it, and a useless material fell out. It crumbled with a pinch, and based on its hardness, it could probably withstand a Hunter's attack. Unfortunately, it was useless in Lu Yin's hands.
He continued, and this time, he rolled Enhance. This was a relatively common number, and the scene before Lu Yin's eyes changed as he appeared in the Time Stop Space.
As long as he could reach this place, he would definitely be able to roll Enhance.
