With a thump, Lord Pig was tossed aside and immediately curled up into a ball, looking at Lu Yin in fear.
Lu Yin said, "You saw everything that happened here. You also saw the person I wanted to take away."
"No, I didn't see anything!" Lord Pig shrieked and hurriedly waved his trotters.
At that moment, Mr. Liu Ye arrived with Shui Chuanxiao.
Lu Yin looked at Shui Chuanxiao, "Welcome, Commander."
Shui Chuanxiao looked around, especially at the Hell Overlord. Finally, his gaze landed on Lu Yin, "Why are you taking me away?"
Lu Yin smiled and handed him a personal terminal.
Shui Chuanxiao looked at it.
Lu Yin looked at Lord Pig again, "I can't let the Hall of Honor know that I'm taking away someone, so your fate is sealed."
Lord Pig was terrified and mournfully said, "Alliance Master Lu, Little Pig is your subordinate. I won't say anything, and I won't say anything. Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything. Alliance Master Lu …"
Lu Yin had no intention of killing him. From the start of the rebellion, his group had not acted, and the Hell Overlord had been the one to suppress them. What had happened after the Hell Overlord had fainted had to be revealed by someone reliable. Otherwise, the Second Nightking, Emperor Liu, and Shui Chuanxiao had all escaped without any injuries on his side. Even an idiot would be suspicious.
It wasn't just Lord Pig; Green Tea and Lü Yan couldn't leave either.
Just like the incident in the Astral Tree Realm, Lu Yin needed witnesses to prove that he had nothing to do with it.
Lu Yin looked at Green Tea, "Do you want your father to live?"
Green Tea stared at Lu Yin.
"Stay here, and so will your father. As for the Hell Overlord's suspicions that you want to take Lü Yan away, as long as Lü Yan doesn't leave, his suspicions won't be valid. I need you to keep an eye on that pig, and I can also give you a guarantee that you'll take your father away from Earth's Swamp soon."
"I'll stay, Alliance Master Lu," Lü Yan said without hesitation. They had no other choice.
Green Tea was helpless, "Will you really save my father?"
"It doesn't matter if it's you or your father, you can leave," Lu Yin said.
Green Tea looked at him seriously, "Alright, I promise."
Lu Yin nodded. So many prisoners and jailers had died during the Kun's Swamp Rebellion, and not many people could escape. If even the most important people escaped, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. Thus, Lü Yan could not leave, and Cripple had to die. The only ones who could escape were Liu Huang, the Second Nightking, and Shui Chuanxiao.
Lord Pig's eyes spun and he silently dove down, wanting to escape into the swamp.
Green Tea looked at it, walked over, and picked it up by its ears.
Lord Pig shrieked, "Lord Tea, please have mercy! Please have mercy! Alliance Leader Lu, save me! The pig is about to be slaughtered!"
Green Tea tossed Lord Pig onto the Hell Overlord's head. Lord Pig trembled in fear.
"Piss," Green Tea said coldly.
Lord Pig blinked, dumbfounded.
Lu Yin was stunned. Pee?
He thought of that bastard Tu Qiming.
"Piss!" Green Tea yelled.
Lord Pig was terrified, and it pissed itself before shrieking, "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over! I've pissed on the Hell Overlord, it's over!"
"No matter what the reason is, anyone who pisses on the Hell Overlord's head will definitely die," Green Tea said before looking at Lu Yin. "It won't say anything, not even if you beat it to death."
Lord Pig tumbled to the ground, its eyes brimming with tears. It felt that today was a sad day, and there were bad people everywhere.
Lu Yin looked at Lord Pig sympathetically.
There was a rumble, and the Hell Overlord's finger moved, causing the ground to tremble.
Lu Yin looked at Liu Huang. If the Hell Overlord did not make a decision before waking up, then he would really die of old age in Kun's Swamp. Lu Yin would not give him a chance to speak.
Liu Huang had a complicated expression as he met Lu Yin's gaze. "The Great Eastern Alliance is a loose but tight alliance. Even if the Sword Sect joins, as the Alliance Leader, you don't have the right to interfere with the Sword Sect's internal affairs. You can only decide the general direction, right?"
Lu Yin smiled. "You've been imprisoned for so many years while creating the Fourteenth Sword. Is your brain damaged?"
Liu Huang's expression changed slightly.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "That's true, but if the Sword Sect joins my Great Eastern Alliance, then they will have to listen to my orders. However, if you have the ability, then you can replace me as the Alliance Leader."
The Hell Overlord's finger moved again.
Lu Yin's gaze turned even colder as he looked at Liu Huang. Liu Huang was the key to him being able to easily subdue the Sword Sect, but if this person was unwilling, then Lu Yin would find another way.
Liu Huang looked past Lu Yin and at the Hell Overlord. When he saw the Hell Overlord's finger move again, Liu Huang sighed helplessly. "I want to leave and inherit the Fourteenth Sword."
Lu Yin looked at the Second Nightking. "Take them out."
When the Second Nightking had acted to stop Cripple from attacking Lu Yin, he had already made his stance clear. He did not have the right to refuse Lu Yin.
Regardless of whether it was Liu Huang or the Second Nightking, Lu Yin had their vitals in his hands. Only Shui Chuanxiao was someone that Lu Yin would take away regardless of whether he was willing to become the Great Eastern Alliance's commander. En Ya had done a lot for Lu Yin over the years, and this was her only wish, which Lu Yin had promised her.
Shui Chuanxiao had committed a crime, but he had also performed a great service. The only thing that could truly decide whether he stayed or left was Lu Yin's decision. If Lu Yin felt that Shui Chuanxiao's merits could offset his crimes, then Shui Chuanxiao would be able to do so. He felt that Shui Chuanxiao had committed a great crime, and that Shui Chuanxiao had to die of old age in the Swamp of Earth.
This was power.
…
There was a boom as the Hell Overlord woke up and subconsciously punched the swamp, tearing through the void. His gaze was sinister. "Who dares to escape? You're courting death!"
There was a scream as Lord Pig was flung away by a tremendous force.
The Hell Overlord looked around and saw Green Tea standing there quietly. Not far from her was Lu Yin and the others.
"Where are the fugitives?" the Hell Overlord barked as he stared at Green Tea.
Green Tea coldly replied, "The Second Nightking, the elder who wielded the sword, and more than ten fugitives escaped. Cripple is dead. Lu Yan is imprisoned."
The Hell Overlord was shocked, and he looked around. Everything had quieted down, and only the sound of the huge castle in the distance could be heard as it gradually collapsed.
He looked at Lu Yin and the others, and then at Lord Pig, who had fallen headfirst into the swamp. He raised a hand, picked up Lord Pig, and shook him.
Lord Pig howled, "Lord Hell Overlord, I'm a piglet! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"
The Hell Overlord loosened his grip. "What happened after I fainted?"
Lord Pig leaped to his feet, panting heavily as he fearfully said, "Hell Overlord, after you fainted, Alliance Head Lu and the others made their move. However, Hell Overlord, you were too powerful and attacked indiscriminately, causing Alliance Head Lu and the others to be injured. They weren't able to completely capture the Second Nightking and the others, and a dozen or so prisoners escaped …"
Kun Ze and the other two Vice Hell Overlords were present, and Lü Yan had been imprisoned and maimed to death. The Hell Overlords had no choice but to believe Lu Yin. After all, the Second Nightking had been among those who had escaped. The Hell Overlords could not believe that Lu Yin had let the Second Nightking go, as the grudge between the two was as deep as the ocean.
Just this point alone cleared Lu Yin of any suspicion, and before the fugitives had escaped, Lu Yin had already told the Hell Overlord that Cripple was planning a riot. None of this had anything to do with Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was the perfect witness and the righteous party that had suppressed the riot.
At least, that was what the Hell Overlord believed, which was why he sincerely apologized to Lu Yin. "I was careless. I didn't think that these people would still be able to display such terrifying strength after being corroded by the miasma for so many years."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Willow Flying Flower wanted to take action from the start, but Senior Hell Overlord, your Warring States Army was too ferocious and attacked the entire Kun Ze. We couldn't do anything."
The Hell Overlord apologized again.
"Let's think about how to capture the fugitives. The Second Nightking is among them." Lu Yin's expression turned ugly.
The Hell Overlord could only apologize again and promise that the Hall of Honor would capture the Second Nightking as soon as possible.
The Second Nightking's escape was seen as disadvantageous to Lu Yin, and no one thought that Lu Yin had intentionally let the Second Nightking go.
The Luo Emperor had been imprisoned in the ruins, and Lu Yin brought Liu Yefei along to find a place to rest.
The Hell Overlord had many things to do. Not only did he have to re-imprison the prisoners, but he also had to calculate the death toll and the identities of the fugitives. He also had to investigate the true reason for the successful riot.
The first person he met was Green Tea.
"Why didn't you escape?"
The Hell Overlord asked as he stared at Green Tea. The castle had been built again, and a few wardens were enough to do it. This sort of castle required no skill or style.
Green Tea's tone was cold. "The entire universe belongs to the Hall of Honor. What's the point of escaping?"
The Hell Overlord lowered his voice. "Your father turned himself in from the very beginning. He never thought of leaving Kun Ze and has always been atoning for his crimes. But ever since you came to Kun Ze and willingly stayed here, he changed his mind. He wants to take you away and doesn't want you to stay here forever. Since that's the case, why don't you take him away?"
Green Tea raised her head. "This place is great, so why should I leave?
My father has his own ideas, and so do I. I don't want to leave. He was tortured because of me, so I hope that he can leave openly instead of trying to escape. Even if he dies of old age in Kun Ze, I'm willing to accompany him. "
The Hell Overlord retrieved a flask of wine from his cosmic ring and took a swig. "Hahaha, that's how Vice Hell Overlord Kun Ze should act. Alright, I understand."
After Green Tea left, Lord Pig rushed in. However, he had learned his lesson and no longer bumped into the Hell Overlord's toes. After witnessing the might of the Warring States Period, he knew that even if he grew ten times longer, he would not be able to kill the Hell Overlord. "Lord Hell Overlord, what about Liu Huang's identity?
Alliance Master Lu has asked me about it a few times, and I feel like I can't hide it any longer. "
The Hell Overlord glared at him. "You have to hide it even if you can't. Don't tell anyone about this name for the rest of your life."
Lord Pig was startled, and his ears drooped. He carefully looked up, especially at the Hell Overlord's face, which still had traces of his own urine on it. Lord Pig felt like he was about to be slaughtered at any moment. "Yes, I have to hide it. I can't tell anyone."
The Hell Overlord was satisfied. "That's right. Hide it well. Don't tell anyone."
"Understood, Lord Hell Overlord. I can't tell anyone."
…
After the Hell Overlord woke up, news of Kun Ze's rebellion immediately spread to the Hall of Honor. The Hall of Honor was shaken, and the Board of Governors and the Interstellar Arbitration Office were all shaken. Even Elder Chan was alarmed.
Kun Ze had not only imprisoned the most vicious of people, but also important people like Liu Huang, who were involved in the dark side of the Hall of Honor. If news of this spread, the Hall of Honor's reputation would suffer a huge blow.
