Ten days quickly passed, and Mu En arrived. When he saw that Lu Yin had been sent flying, he was shocked and hurriedly stopped him. "Kun Ze Prison Master, what are you doing?"
Lu Yin crashed into the swamp, and his body felt like it was being torn apart. He had experienced this feeling too many times and had gotten used to it. His golden battle force had become even more condensed, as if it had been carved into his bones.
Within the castle, Mu En was shocked. "Lu Yin can spar with you?"
The Prison Master nodded. "He requested it himself. Presiding Judge Mu En, you must be here to investigate the riot. Feel free to do as you wish."
Mu En nodded and looked into the distance, not asking any more questions. Liu Yefei watched from the side without taking any action. Since Lu Yin had requested to spar, the Prison Master could not say anything. The scene from before had been too shocking, and Lu Yin had been so heavily injured. How could he spar with Lu Yin?
The Prison Master did not care, and with Lord Pig leading the way, he began interrogating the prison guards and prisoners. This was his mission.
Mu En's investigation ended in two days, and he had questioned everyone within Kun Ze. He had also obtained surveillance footage, but the surveillance footage was of little use. The Warring Warring States had bombarded the entire Kun Ze, and the surveillance footage had been rendered useless.
Lord Pig had provided Mu En with the most information, and he had vividly explained everything, especially praising Lu Yin's contributions. Mu En had even thought that Lord Pig was from the Great Eastern Alliance and not a Vice Prison Master.
Within the castle, Lu Yin looked at his golden battle force. It was a bit more condensed than before, but it was still far from reaching the Warring States stage.
"It won't be that easy, or else someone in this universe would have broken through long ago," the Prison Master said as he took a swig of wine.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Senior, if you have Warring States battle force, why doesn't the outside world know about it?"
The Prison Master smiled. "I achieved it by borrowing Progenitor Chen's blood. What's the point of the outside world knowing?
As long as no one reaches the Warring States stage through their own strength, it's impossible to popularize this cultivation method. Furthermore, battle force is not that easy to comprehend. "
Lu Yin understood this point. How many people in the entire Astral Combat Academy could cultivate battle force, and how many people in the Astral Tree Realm could cultivate battle force to the Warring States Realm?
This path was too difficult, especially since it was not prepared for ordinary people, but for giants. Battle force was a battle technique for giants.
"I'm curious. Alliance Master Lu, how did you do it?
Secret technique?
Or a healing technique? "
The Hell Overlord asked. Over the past few days, he had become much more familiar with Lu Yin, so he didn't really care about such a question.
"It's a technique from the Ku family."
The Prison Overlord was interested. "The Seven Courts' Ku family?
I heard that they have the 'Withering' Secret Character that can instantly recover from injuries. Could it be that you have learned it? "
Lu Yin shrugged. "No, it's not that easy to learn the Withering Secret Character."
Master Pig rushed in with Mu En on his back.
Mu En greeted the Hell Lord and then looked at Lu Yin. "Alliance Master Lu, let's talk."
Lu Yin nodded. "Please."
Outside the castle, Mu En and Lu Yin stood facing each other, only a few meters apart.
"I have to thank Alliance Master Lu for suppressing the Kun Ze rebellion. Otherwise, if all the prisoners escaped, it would have been enough to shake the entire universe," Mu En said emotionally.
Lu Yin replied, "It's only right."
Mu En said, "Most of the responsibility for this riot lies with the Prison Master. He clearly knew that someone was planning the riot, but he was stubborn and wanted to suppress it with his own strength. In the end, it led to such serious consequences, and he will inevitably be put on trial. As for you, Alliance Master Lu, you have made a meritorious report, and the Council will definitely reward you.
As a reward. "
Lu Yin laughed and looked at the swamp. "Here, regardless of whether you're a prisoner or a prison guard, you all live in the same cage. What's the difference? Even if you put a Prison Master on trial, the most you can do is prolong his time as a Prison Master. You should focus on the fugitives." He then looked at Mu En solemnly. "I strongly request that the Head Inquisitor personally pursue the Second Nightking. If he escapes, I will feel uneasy."
Mu En shook his head. "The Head Inquisitor has his own way of doing things, and outsiders cannot interfere. However, I will relay your request to the Head Inquisitor."
"Thank you," Lu Yin said.
Mu En was puzzled. "Alliance Master Lu should be able to contact the Head Inquisitor yourself, right?"
Although no one knew the relationship between Lu Yin and the Head Inquisitor, the fact that he had the Head Inquisitor's warrant meant that they were close.
Lu Yin was helpless. "Just as you said, no one can interfere with the Head Inquisitor's actions, not even me. I can only ask the Head Inquisitor for help."
Mu En grunted. "I have a question for Alliance Master Lu."
"Please speak."
"Why didn't you act from the start?" Mu En stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at him. "I was about to act, but I was stunned by the Prison Master."
"What do you mean?" Mu En was stunned.
Lu Yin sighed. "The Prison Master used the might of the Warring States Period to attack the entire Kun Ze …"
Mu En already had a clear understanding of the events before and after the riot, but he still asked because he wanted to find something from Lu Yin's expression and words. However, he was unable to find anything.
"The Head Inquisitor won't suspect me, right?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Mu En smiled as he replied, "Of course not. Alliance Master Lu had already warned Lord Hell Master before the uprising started, and he even took action to suppress it. Among those who escaped, the Second Nightking was the one who hated Alliance Master Lu the most. The one who suffered the greatest loss was not Kun Ze, but Alliance Master Lu."
"As long as the Head Inquisitor knows."
"One more question. Does Alliance Master Lu know the identity of that old swordsman?" Mu En asked, looking at Lu Yin with a probing gaze.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "I don't know."
Mu En looked into Lu Yin's eyes, and after a moment, he nodded. "If you don't know, then so be it. Alliance Master Lu, you are the Master of the Outerverse, and now that you have entered the Innerverse, you should know that certain methods are necessary to achieve certain goals, even if they are vile or even dark."
"Can I leave Kun Ze now?" Lu Yin interrupted.
Mu En nodded. "Of course."
Mu En frowned as he watched Lu Yin leave. If it had been anyone else, regardless of whether they knew the Liu Emperor's identity, they would not have been able to leave Kun Ze, as the Hall of Honor would not have allowed them to take such a risk. However, this was Lu Yin, whose background was greater than the heavens. He was the Head Inquisitor of the Interstellar Tribunal, the Hall of Honor's Board of Directors, and even Elder Chan and the High Sage Heavenly Master.
This person had the support of almost half of the Fifth Mainland, and no one could stop him from leading the Great Eastern Alliance to invade the Innerverse, let alone such a small matter.
Mu En recalled the first time he had met Lu Yin and the time he had accompanied him from Progenitor Chen's tomb to the Realm Mountain. This kid's growth was too shocking. Perhaps the next time they met, things would be different!
The Luo Emperor was imprisoned in Cripple's location, and Lu Yin formally bid farewell to Liu Yehua.
After following Lu Yin for such a long time, Willowleaf Flyingflower could be considered to have understood him.
Her attitude was unusually good. "Alliance Master Lu, don't worry. We won't tell anyone about your identity." She was referring to Lu Xiaoxuan's identity.
Lu Yin smiled. "Thank you."
He looked at Liu Yehua with some reluctance. He rarely spat out anything that had been handed to him, but in the end, Liu Yehua still had to leave. They had been very qualified bodyguards, but it was a pity.
In that case, the Second Nightking and the Liu Emperor would be the ones to replace Liu Yehua.
These two were even more ruthless, but they could not show their faces, which was really troublesome.
There had been four of them when they had arrived, but only one left.
Lu Yin left Kun Ze and boarded a spacecraft that headed towards the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
Within Kun Ze, Mu En still had to continue his investigation. His most important task was to find out why the sourcebox array with the three thousand chains had been broken, as well as why some of the prison guards had helped Lu Yin escape.
A day after leaving Kun Ze, there were three more people in Lu Yin's spacecraft: the Second Nightking, the Liu Emperor, and Shui Chuanxiao.
The three needed to recover their strength as quickly as possible. The Liu Emperor and Shui Chuanxiao had been corroded by death energy, and it would be difficult for them to recover. The Second Nightking had not been corroded by death energy, but he had been beaten up too badly by the head inquisitor, so it would not be easy for him to recover.
Lu Yin constantly kept an eye on the Second Nightking, using the Sealed Cage technique to sense him and prevent him from escaping.
As soon as the Second Nightking showed any signs of escaping, Lu Yin would not hesitate to destroy him.
He now regretted not keeping Bai Shui with him. In Kun Ze, it would not have been easy for him to use the Sealed Cage technique to control the Second Nightking, and he would have been seriously injured. But in the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect, how could Bai Shui be so sure that Lu Yin could control the Second Nightking?
If she was not so sure, she would not have risked everything to enter the Frigid Immortal Pond. There had to be a reason behind this, and Lu Yin could only think of blood. The Bai family's blood was more compatible with the Sealed Cage technique.
If that was the case, then once the Frigid Immortal Sect entered the Fifth Mainland, would the Daynight clan still be under his control?
That was a problem!
After leaving Kun Ze, Lu Yin received a lot of news about the various major flowzones of the Innerverse targeting the Great Eastern Alliance. They had sealed off the borders of the Blazing Mist Flowzone and the Gu Flowzone, shut down the Astral River Tributary, and suspended trade. Lu Yin did not care about any of this, as he had already dealt with nearly half of the people who could determine the Innerverse's power structure. These small flowzones would not be able to stop the Great Eastern Alliance's army.
What he cared about was the change in the Hall of Honor's board of directors.
Nightking Zheng had actually been removed, which was something that Lu Yin had not expected.
"That was my mistake, and I should have paid attention to it. There are nine positions on the board of directors: two for the Innerverse, two for the Cosmic Sea, and the remaining one for the Neoverse. Nightking Zheng was able to become a director because of the Daynight clan, but the Daynight clan was defeated by us, and the Innerverse no longer has any say in it. Nightking Zheng naturally cannot continue to be a director," Wang Wen apologized, as he had not considered this point.
Lu Yin replied, "It's not your fault. No one could have thought of everything so thoroughly, and even if you had, it would have been useless. You wouldn't have been able to change anything. However, I never expected that Nightking Zheng would be replaced by Zijing."
"Starlink Network Company. They're the ones who cover the entire Fifth Mainland's network. Although this network company doesn't reveal much, their influence is no less than that of Shamrock Enterprises, Aurora Enterprises, or the Mavis Bank," Wang Wen said solemnly.
Lu Yin replied, "I know. At the Realm Mountain, I was only able to contact you guys because of Zijing's connections."
"What kind of person is this Zijing?"
Wang Wen asked. The Fifth Mainland was too large, and his focus had always been on the Innerverse and Outerverse. He did not know much about the people of the Neoverse, mainly because he had not come into contact with them yet.
