"Since ancient times, the Neohuman Alliance has been humanity's greatest enemy. Miss Balsam, do you think that we humans will be able to completely destroy the Neohuman Alliance one day?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Balsam replied, "With Alliance Leader Lu's personality, it's impossible for the Neohuman Alliance to exist in the Innerverse or Outerverse. This question depends on Alliance Leader Lu. Wherever you go, there will be no Neohuman Alliance."
Lu Yin looked at her. "You have that much confidence in me?"
Balsam Zhi smiled. "I've seen Alliance Master Lu's attitude towards the Neohuman Alliance very clearly." She then changed the topic. "Actually, Shamrock Enterprises can work together with the Great Eastern Alliance. The Astral Source Pills that we produce will be given priority to the Great Eastern Alliance. Alliance Master Lu can try using the Astral Source Pills and see their effects."
Lu Yin suddenly raised a hand and spread his fingers.
Balsam was confused.
Lu Yin seriously said, "Five thousand. Give me five thousand Astral Source Pills first."
Balsam was stunned. "Five … five thousand?
Alliance Leader Lu, you haven't tried them yet. "Lu Yin waved his hand." No need, I have money. Give me five thousand to equip the Lu Xuanjun Army and the giant bloodline. Right, I'm also planning to form the Heavenly Sin Army, so five thousand might not be enough. Give me ten thousand. "
"Ten thousand is too much. Alliance Leader Lu, this …" Balsam wanted Lu Yin to test the Astral Source Pills in person, and Lu Yin fully displayed the attitude of a rich person. He did not care about the quality of the pills as long as they were brought over first. Money was not an issue.
Balsam was interrupted multiple times by Lu Yin, but he finally remembered that he should leave the financial matters to Qiongxi'er. Thus, he recommended Balsam to her with only one request: to buy as many Astral Source Pills as possible.
Balsam had no intention of discussing business at this time; she had only come to confirm the situation with Lu Yin's Astral Source Pills.
Lu Yin's actions left her confused, and at the same time, she was suspicious. Could the disappearance of the Astral Source Pills really be related to Lu Yin?
Lu Yin knew that his actions would arouse Balsam's suspicions, but he had no other choice. He had two Astral Source Pills; one had been raised into a sapling, and the other had been fed to the tree. He could not produce any more Astral Source Pills, and it would be easier to find out if he faked them. Thus, he might as well make a fool of himself. Although Balsam was suspicious, she could not be completely certain.
With his current status and ability, he had no need to fear the mysterious Leaf King. However, it would be best if he could hide in the dark. He was still unsure of the true meaning of the Leaf King and the Celestial Source Pill, and he did not wish for the sapling to be discovered and be in danger.
He didn't have time to deal with Leaf King for now. Once he returned from the Technocracy, not only would he have to go to Shamrock Enterprises, but he would also have to go to Aurora Enterprises and the Sword Sect.
In his mind, his greatest enemy was the Eternals, followed by the Scales of the Four Cardinal Points. That was the most threatening enemy. Everything else could wait.
While Lu Yin was cleaning up the Bason Flowzone, the Board of Directors was also holding a meeting. Their only goal was to reward Lu Yin.
The Neohuman Alliance had always been the Hall of Honor's greatest enemy, and it was even stronger than the Astral Beast Domain, the Technocracy, and the Sixth Mainland. This was especially true for Elder Chan and the other Demigods who knew about the Eternals, which made them even more determined to kill the Neohuman Alliance. Lu Yin had destroyed the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse, which was a great contribution.
Several directors were discussing what kind of reward to give.
This wasn't just a reward for what Lu Yin had done, but also to encourage others to do the same. Exterminating Corpse Kings was very important, and Elder Chan had even specifically mentioned it, which was why the Board of Directors had been convened.
"The Great Eastern Alliance that Lu Yin belongs to isn't a subordinate organization of the Hall of Honor. Actually, we shouldn't be the ones to give out rewards. The Neohuman Alliance is the enemy of the entire Human Domain, and the Great Eastern Alliance is duty-bound to exterminate them. Giving out rewards that are too great will only make others think that the Hall of Honor is biased. Before the Great Eastern Alliance, there were organizations in both the Outerverse and Innerverse who exterminated Corpse Kings. When have we ever given out rewards? That's not fair," Nan Yuan said. He represented the Seven Courts' Xia family and viewed Lu Yin as an enemy.
Elder Chan retorted, "How can the Corpse Kings exterminated by the Outerverse and Innerverse compare to the Great Eastern Alliance? That's the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse."
"The Great Eastern Alliance claims that the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse are the headquarters of the Neohuman Alliance, but that might not be true. Perhaps it's just a stronghold where many Corpse Kings gather," Mister You said.
San Liang was dissatisfied. "Since that's your attitude, then what's the point of holding this Board of Directors meeting?
Could it be that we're discussing whether or not we should give out rewards? "
Mister You and Nan Yuan exchanged glances, but they could not refute Elder Chan's words. This Board of Directors meeting had been instructed by Elder Chan to clearly state the rewards. They wanted to discuss what to give out, not whether to give out rewards.
Yang Ji suddenly spoke up. "Why don't we give out a great realm?"
"No." "No." Nan Yuan and Mister You refused at the same time.
Great realms could only be found in the Glory Realm, and they were not allowed to appear in the Outerverse or even the Cosmic Sea. If they were given a great realm to the Great Eastern Alliance, it would mean that the Great Eastern Alliance would be able to legitimately bring their armies into the Glory Realm. Wouldn't that be the same as entering the Neoverse?
Although Nan Yuan did not believe that the Great Eastern Alliance had the power to threaten the Seven Courts, everyone had seen Lu Yin's ambition. Nobody knew what would happen once Lu Yin entered the Seven Courts. Even if Lu Yin could not threaten them, it would be enough to disgust them.
In particular, Lu Yin's background in the Hall of Honor was deep. The closer they got to the Realm Mountain, the more flustered they became.
Yang Ji was just making a suggestion. As the master of the Radiance Realm, he naturally believed that a great realm was the most important. Furthermore, he wanted to use this Board of Directors meeting to get closer to Lu Yin. Elder Chan had taken the initiative to offer Lu Yin a reward, which meant that Lu Yin's background in the Hall of Honor was even deeper than Yang Ji had imagined. There was no harm in trying to establish a good relationship with Lu Yin.
They discussed for an entire morning, but they still could not come to a conclusion. Zijing spoke up, which was a rare occurrence. "Doesn't he like money? Give him some money."
The board members were stunned. Money?
Since when had such a vulgar thing appeared in the Board of Directors, which represented the Human Supreme Council? Still, it seemed feasible. Everyone who understood Lu Yin knew that he loved money, and his obsession with star essence was well-known throughout the universe.
Even San Liang was momentarily speechless. He wanted to help the Great Eastern Alliance obtain a great realm, but when it came to money, he did not know how to refute. What if Lu Yin really wanted money?
It was a dilemma!
"Then give the money," Nan Yuan said decisively. Money was just a number to them, and it was better than having the Great Eastern Alliance directly enter the Glory Realm.
Mister You also agreed.
The others found it difficult to object.
In the end, the Board of Directors decided to reward Lu Yin for leading the Great Eastern Alliance in exterminating the Neohuman Alliance's headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse with one billion star essence.
This was not much to the Hall of Honor, but even the Blaze Realm and the Ross Empire's combined resources did not have that many star essence, which was already a considerable amount.
Lu Yin was delighted when he heard the news, as this was an unexpected windfall. He had never thought that the Board of Directors would reward him with one billion star essence, which was not a small amount.
The Great Eastern Alliance had suffered some losses in exterminating the Bason Flowzone, especially the First Allied Army, but it was still far from one billion star essence. Ten million star essence was more than enough to make up for their losses, and that was even more than one billion.
The Board of Directors really knew how to conduct themselves!
Lu Yin thought to himself, as this was the reward for exterminating the Bason Flowzone. Once he returned from the Technocracy, regardless of whether or not he discovered that the Genesis Court had collaborated with the Neohuman Alliance, Elder Chan's reward would definitely not disappoint him.
Speaking of which, this mission had been a sham from the very beginning. The Corpse King had been under Lu Yin's control, so this mission had not been established at all. Lu Yin did not know who Elder Chan would send to accompany him to the Technocracy.
The Hall of Honor greatly rewarded Lu Yin, and the Great Eastern Alliance's image in the Fifth Mainland became much more upright because of this battle. In contrast, the Eternal Kingdom remained silent.
The Corpse King with a power level of over a million returned to the Eternal Kingdom a few days later and met with Mister Feng. Under Mister Feng's guidance, the Corpse King entered the tower and met with the Witchling God.
"A piece of skin that can make you lose your mind in an instant?
That brat really has everything. If I'm not wrong, it should be Progenitor Wushang's skin, "the Witchling God said as he floated in the air.
A cold and stiff voice sounded out. "Witchling God, I hope that the Eternal Kingdom will still exist before your plan succeeds."
The Witchling God coldly replied, "What? Do you think that brat has the ability to destroy my Eternal Kingdom?"
"He captured the Corpse King that was monitoring Lost Radiance Academy, so he must have discovered something. He has the Death God's inheritance, the Lu family's bloodline, and the Rune Progenitor's civilization. No one can predict his future."
"The more powerful he is, the better. Do you think that the Four Way Scales are pushovers?
The more powerful this brat is, the more unlucky the Four Way Scales will be. However, I'm curious as to how he knew that the Innerverse and Outerverse headquarters of the Neohuman Alliance were located beneath the Crimson Moon Empire. "
"He's been to Earth's Swamp. Lü Yan is in Earth's Swamp."
"Lü Yan knows about the Bason Flowzone?"
"It's possible."
"If I had known, I would have destroyed him back then."
"It's not too late now. This price must be paid."
…
Ten days later, while Lu Yin was still in the Bason Flowzone, the people sent by the Hall of Honor to meet up with him and head to the Technocracy had already arrived.
Lu Yin looked at the ordinary-looking old man whose eyes were filled with curiosity and bowed respectfully. "Junior Lu Yin greets Senior."
The old man sized Lu Yin up. "You're Lu Yin?
The Lu Yin who unified the Outerverse and now wants to unify the Innerverse?
You look quite ordinary and not as exaggerated as the rumors. "
Lu Yin smiled. "In front of Senior, this junior is naturally more ordinary."
The old man smiled. "Kid, I'm not being derogatory when I say that you're ordinary. What do you think of me?"
Lu Yin was stunned and hesitated for a moment. "Senior, you're hiding your strength."
"Hahahaha, you're just ordinary. Just say it directly. You're as ordinary as I am, which is why I'm praising you," the old man explained seriously.
Lu Yin bowed again. "This junior thanks Senior for the praise."
The old man nodded. "I'm the head of World Mountain, and you might not have heard of me. Let's put it this way: I specialize in protecting World Mountain, and I don't care about anything else."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Specialize in protecting World Mountain?
San Liang is your subordinate? "
