The Board of Governors held an emergency meeting, and all nine of them appeared, but the people had changed.
Cong Ying had mobilized the expeditionary force without authorization and delayed the Cosmic Sea's warplanes. He had been replaced by Yang Ji, the master of the Radiance Realm's 3,000 Major Realms. There was also another person who had just been removed: Nightking Zheng.
Nightking Zheng had been removed on the day that Lu Yin had arrived at Kun's Swamp. He hadn't even been able to react before he was removed and replaced by Zi Jing.
"Fourteen prisoners escaped during the Kun's Swamp riot. The list is here," Xin Jiao said in a low voice. Her expression was unprecedentedly serious, and there was an undetectable glint in the depths of her eyes.
Zi Jing looked at the list and was shocked. "Why is there still one more name?"
Xin Jiao replied, "This person was not captured by the Board of Governors. Instead, he was captured by the Interstellar Arbitration Office and locked up in Kun's Swamp. Due to the secrecy involved, there is no name."
"Even we can't know?"
Yang Ji asked. As the master of the Radiance Realm, his power exceeded 700,000. He was one of the few powerhouses among the Board of Governors.
The third elder shook his head. "It's normal. You'll get used to it."
"The Second Nightking actually escaped!" Liu Ran exclaimed, his expression solemn.
Nightking Zheng had been removed, and he was now the only representative of the Innerverse. The Second Nightking's escape had the greatest impact on the Innerverse, and he immediately wondered if the Daynight clan would rise again. However, that was impossible. Even if the Second Nightking had escaped, he could not openly return to the Daynight clan. Was he not afraid of the head inquisitors attacking him again?
He then thought about the Second Nightking's escape, which seemed to be the most disadvantageous for Lu Yin. Lu Yin had defeated the Daynight clan, so the Second Nightking would definitely seek revenge.
Liu Ran couldn't help but smile when he thought about this. He wanted to immediately send a message to the sect master to tell him not to worry about Lu Yin anymore.
Director Si Hong glanced at Liu Ran. "The Second Nightking is an absolute powerhouse, and we have to capture him as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he recovers, no one will be able to do anything to him.
We can't possibly ask the head inquisitors to capture him. "
"It's Lu Yin again!" Mister You barked. "This Lu Yin causes trouble wherever he goes. Is the Kun's Swamp riot related to him?
I think he's the mastermind... "
Three Liang shouted sternly, "Mr. You, be careful with your words. As a director, how can you slander others without any evidence? Is this how you do things?"
Mister You wanted to retort, but after some thought, he held himself back. The Immortal's Battle Group had been destroyed, and he had no background. Nightking Zheng had just been dismissed, and he knew that he did not have much time left. He was still too far away from San Liang, who was at the peak of his power.
He looked at Nan Yuan. The relationship between the Longevity Squadron and the Xia Clan had already been exposed. He was now considered a member of the Xia Clan.
Nan Yuan knocked on the table. "Director Sanliang, don't exaggerate. Mr. You is just guessing. This Lu Yin really does get into trouble wherever he goes, so we can't help but suspect him."
"That's where you're all wrong. This is Hell Overlord Kun Ze's report," Xin Jiao said as she sent the report to them.
Yang Ji was shocked, "This Lu Yin knew about the Swamp Kun uprising in advance?
It was Shui Chuanxiao who told him. "
"I told the Prison Master in advance that there would be a riot, but more than ten prisoners still managed to escape. The Prison Master is responsible, and he has failed in his duty."
"That's right, Lu Yin has contributed greatly. Furthermore, without Lu Yin's group, the prisoners would have been able to escape from Kun's Swamp."
"But how did Shui Chuanxiao escape?
If he told Lu Yin about the Swamp Kun uprising, then he shouldn't have tried to escape. "Liu Ran was puzzled.
Old Man Bu spoke up, "No matter what, the truth has already happened. We need to send someone to Kun's Swamp to investigate and issue a bounty to the entire universe."
The board's decision was quickly passed to the Interstellar Court, and it was finally decided that one of the three judges, Mu En, would be sent to Kun's Swamp to investigate.
To the board, this was just a prison break. They did not understand Kun's Swamp's defenses, but this incident had a different impact on the Interstellar Court.
Even if a powerhouse with a power level in the millions attacked Kun's Swamp, they would not be able to break through. Now, it had actually been overturned by an internal riot, which shocked even the judges.
Mu En originally had other missions, but he was urgently transferred to Kun's Swamp to investigate.
After Mu En, it was likely that Death's Shadow and Despair's Mu En would also head there.
The most troublesome matter was the capture of the Second Nightking.
Where would they find such an expert in the vast universe?
After the board meeting ended, Liu Ran immediately reported the good news of the Second Nightking's escape to Liu Qianjue. Liu Qianjue felt as if there was a light at the end of the tunnel. He had originally thought that he would not be able to stop Lu Yin, but now that the Second Nightking had escaped, Lu Yin would no longer be in the mood to cause trouble for them.
Liu Qianjue immediately sent someone to the Daynight clan to congratulate them. Of course, he only congratulated them in secret and also tried to find out more about the Third Nightking.
He now hoped that the Third Nightking would return and join forces with the Second Nightking to restore the Daynight clan's strength so that they could resist Lu Yin's Great Eastern Alliance.
Lu Yin's ambitions were too great, and he would rather face the Daynight clan than the Great Eastern Alliance.
The various major flowzones of the Innerverse also relaxed. It was fine as long as someone caused trouble for Lu Yin. What they needed to do was seal off the Blazing Mist Flowzone and exhaust the Great Eastern Alliance.
From the moment that Lu Yin had established himself in the Blazing Mist Flowzone, he had become an enemy of the Innerverse.
At Kun's Swamp, Lu Yin received a call from Mu En, who asked him to stay in Kun's Swamp and cooperate with the investigation.
Lu Yin did not mind, and since Mu En had arrived, he could take Liu Yehua with him.
When he thought about being separated from Liu Yehua, Lu Yin felt somewhat reluctant. The two were qualified bodyguards, but in the end, they were not his.
Green Tea found Lu Yin. "My father wants to see you."
Lu Yin was puzzled, and he followed Green Tea until he saw Lü Yan.
Compared to the first time they had met, Lü Yan looked much more haggard. "Little Tea, you can leave first."
Green Tea silently left.
Lu Yin looked at Lü Yan. "What's the matter?"
Lü Yan looked at Lu Yin seriously. "I found out about you through the internet. You're the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader, Lu Yin."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's not a secret."
"How much does Alliance Leader Lu know about me?" Lü Yan asked.
Lu Yin replied, "The former presiding judge should be of the same generation as Death's Shadow, so that's all I know. I didn't do much research on you, and all the information I saw came from Kun Ze."
Lü Yan smiled bitterly. "You're a presiding judge, but in the end, the information that people saw was actually from a prison. How ironic."
Lu Yin did not say anything, as he did not know why Lü Yan was looking for him. They should not have had any interactions, and Lu Yin did not have any intentions of roping Lü Yan in. This person had betrayed the human race, and although he had not done anything bad and had even turned himself in, that stain alone, no one would dare to accept him.
"Alliance Leader Lu, who do you think is the human race's true enemy?" Lü Yan suddenly asked.
Lu Yin frowned. "What do you mean?"
Lü Yan replied, "I just wanted to ask, does Alliance Leader Lu think that the human race's true enemy is the Sword Sect?
The Daynight clan?
The powers of the Innerverse?
Or the Neoverse's Seven Courts and others? "
Lu Yin did not hesitate. "The Neohuman Alliance."
Lü Yan's eyes lit up. "That's right. The Neohuman Alliance. Since ancient times, the Hall of Honor has always followed the same principle: anyone who colludes with the Neohuman Alliance, regardless of who they are, will be executed. They would rather kill the wrong person than let them go because the Neohuman Alliance is the human race's true enemy. They want to completely transform the human race into walking corpses and achieve what they believe is eternal life."
"They're even more of an enemy than the Astral Beast Domain, no, even the Sixth Mainland."
Lu Yin was amused. "It seems like Senior doesn't know that the Sixth Mainland has already been invaded by the Neohuman Alliance and moved to the Outerverse. I don't need you to remind me that the Neohuman Alliance is the enemy."
"I know what happened to the Sixth Mainland. When the Sixth Mainland invaded, Kun Ze could only hide. I also know what happened after that, but I'm not sure if Alliance Leader Lu knows anything about it. Perhaps you know who the enemy is in Alliance Leader Lu's heart. This is very important, so I'm relieved now. Then, Alliance Leader Lu, there's a place that I hope you can learn about. It's the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse …"
Lü Yan's words caused shock to appear in Lu Yin's eyes, followed by excitement. "Really?"
Lü Yan nodded. "I discovered it back in the Eternal Kingdom. Mr. Feng thought that I didn't know, but I'm still the presiding judge."
Lu Yin had always wanted to deal with the Eternals, not just because they were the human race's greatest enemy.
The Sorcerer God had tried to use him to divide the human race and cause the greatest civil war of all time. This was an open scheme that Lu Yin could not avoid, but he had discussed it with Wang Wen and Wei Rong some time ago. Since it was unavoidable, they would drag the Eternals into the conflict as well. A three-way war was better than a two-way war. Whether it was the Fifth Mainland, the Sixth Mainland, or the Astral Tree Realm, the Eternals were the human race's greatest enemy.
Even on the battlefield, Corpse Kings had to be destroyed as soon as they appeared. This was a principle.
Lu Yin could fight against the Four Way Scale, but the prerequisite was that he had to drag the Eternals into the conflict and destroy them first. At the very least, the human race could not be more exhausted than the Eternals.
If he wanted to unify the Innerverse, he would have to experience civil war. However, civil war was the last thing he wanted to see. He would rather see everyone focus on attacking the Eternals.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to find any traces of the Eternals.
Now, they had finally appeared.
"Since you know the location of the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters, why didn't you tell the Hall of Honor?" Lu Yin asked.
Lü Yan's face darkened. "There's a spy from the Neohuman Alliance in the Hall of Honor."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The Unaging Old Man? Wasn't that the Unaging Old Man? It was the Unaging Old Man who had revealed the location of the node, allowing the Eternals to invade after the astral storm. If not for Hui Zu's scheming, the Fifth Mainland would have been finished by now.
The Unaging Old Man was the Neohuman Alliance's biggest pawn in the Hall of Honor, and very few people knew about this secret.
"How do you know that there's someone from the Neohuman Alliance in the Hall of Honor?" Lu Yin asked.
Lü Yan replied, "Mister Feng said that he trusts me a lot. After all, I even sent my own daughter to be modified. However, he would never have guessed that the reason I joined the Neohuman Alliance was because I wanted to use death energy to cure my daughter's illness. After Xiaocha's illness was cured, I received a mission from Mister Feng to find the Head Inquisitor's weakness. However, he would never have dreamed that I would turn myself in."
"Hahahaha! The Neohuman Alliance is indeed powerful, and the Corpse Kings they create can even live indefinitely. However, they have no emotions and will never understand righteousness or loyalty. I, Lü Yan, can betray humanity for the sake of my daughter, but I will never do anything that harms humanity. Hahahaha!"
"Then why do you trust me?
Aren't you afraid that I'm from the Neohuman Alliance? "Lu Yin was curious.
