Half of the palace had been destroyed, and the two-headed centipede had returned to its original position. The poisonous rain had been scattered all around King of Gu City, causing the area to become barren and desolate. Below the centipede, the cold aura of Immortal Guides the Way slowly dissipated.
At this moment, it wasn't just Lu Yin. Yuehua Mavis, Wen Yao, and the rest all stared at Young King Qing with wary eyes.
Young King Qing met Lu Yin's gaze and said, "Alliance Leader Lu, the Divine Gu Dynasty invited you here without any ill intentions. Otherwise, it would be a slap to my own face. You don't believe the Second Nightking's words, do you?"
Lu Yin's expression darkened. "Why would the Second Nightking appear in the palace?
And ambush on the way to the treasury?
Young King Qing, don't tell me that this is all a coincidence. "
Young King Qing's eyes narrowed. "With the Second Nightking's strength, there's nothing in the universe that can trap him. Even Kunze escaped. Alliance Leader Lu, you were there as well, so you should know how powerful the Second Nightking is."
"But he was heavily injured by the Inquisitor, and he can't even use half of his strength. He can't even kill me, so how could he have entered the palace without you knowing?" Lu Yin shouted.
Everyone looked at Young King Qing. Indeed, while the Second Nightking seemed powerful, he was only strong in appearance. If he couldn't even kill Lu Yin, how could he have hidden from Young King Qing?
If the Second Nightking really had the strength to hide from Young King Qing, then how could he not have killed Lu Yin?
"The Second Nightking attacked me, and with your strength, you should have been able to protect King of Gu City while dealing with him at the same time. But you didn't, and you didn't even try to stop the Second Nightking from escaping.
You were the one who cooperated with the Second Nightking from start to finish! "Lu Yin shouted again.
Young King Qing's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but Lu Yin continued, "The Divine Gu Dynasty was established with the help of the Nightking Clan, and your Qing family's ancestors were indebted to them. Am I right?"
The three consecutive questions left Young King Qing speechless. This was the truth; Young King Qing had never thought that the Second Nightking would not be able to kill Lu Yin. Not only that, he had even exposed Lu Yin.
He had never expected the Second Nightking to expose him at the last moment. Why?
He couldn't understand how Lu Yin had managed to block the Second Nightking's killing intent.
Even a fool could tell that the Second Nightking and Young Queen Qing had some sort of relationship.
This was also why Lu Yin had sent the Second Nightking to Young King Qing's side.
"Young Empress Qing, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, from this moment on, the Divine Gu Dynasty will become the enemy of my Great Eastern Alliance," Lu Yin threatened.
Imperial Tutor Yuan hurriedly stepped forward. "Alliance Master Lu, please don't jump to conclusions before things are clear. The Second Nightking is proficient in spiritual force, and he could have easily controlled others to bring him into the palace. Yes, control." He then pointed at the unconscious Eunuch Yi. "It's that servant. Everything was caused by that servant."
"He was the one who captured Chang Wu and forced Alliance Leader Lu to take action. That's why the Qing Emperor was willing to compensate you. The compensation for the national treasury might have been part of Manager Lu's plan, and all of this was orchestrated by the Second Nightking."
His words caused Young Empress Qing's eyes to light up. "That's right. Before this, that servant did tell me that Alliance Master Lu has an unusual fondness for resources. If he accidentally offended you, he could let Alliance Master Lu go to the national treasury to choose what you like. That's why I thought of sending you there. Now that I think about it, it's all because of that servant."
Lu Yin sneered. "How can a servant influence your decision? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Young Empress Qing's eyes darkened. "Alliance Master Lu, I've already explained everything that needs to be explained. What else do you want?"
Lu Yin raised his head. "Seal off the Gu Flowzone. No one is allowed to enter or leave until we find out the truth. Everyone we investigate …" He then stared at Young Empress Qing. "Including you, Empress Qing."
Young Empress Qing was furious. "Lu Yin, don't be impudent! This is Gu King's City."
Imperial Tutor Yuan hurriedly said, "Alliance Master Lu, there's no need to be so extreme."
The Jackal Prince's heart thumped. He had a good understanding of Lu Yin, and he knew that this guy was not someone to be trifled with.
The Little Mountain God was so happy that he was about to jump up and down. Their main goal in coming here was to incite the Divine Gu Dynasty to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance. Now, it seemed that they did not even need to do so, as Lu Yin had already stirred up trouble himself.
This guy was really stupid. Even if Young Empress Qing and the Second Nightking wanted to kill him, he still had to endure it. Wasn't this just making enemies for no reason? Who said that Lu Yin was smart?
Lu Yin coldly asked, "How long has it been since someone tried to assassinate me like this?
If I don't do anything, then others will think that I'm easy to bully. This is Gu King's City, so the Divine Gu Dynasty needs to give me an explanation that I'm satisfied with. Otherwise, no one from this Gu Flowzone will be able to leave. "
Young Empress Qing slowly clenched her fists, but Imperial Tutor Yuan was still trying to dissuade her.
Suddenly, the Two-Headed Garuda descended from the sky, its body rapidly shrinking as it circled around the palace. Then, its head and tail connected as it suddenly descended, trapping Lu Yin in the middle.
Lu Yin hurriedly attacked and unleashed a series of Empty Palm attacks, but it was useless. Young Empress Qing's combination with her gu allowed her to unleash a terrifying power level of over 800,000, which was not something that Lu Yin could deal with.
Lu Yin was trapped in the middle by the Two-Headed Garuda, forming a cage.
Young Empress Qing had really attacked Lu Yin. Everyone was shocked, especially those from the Innerverse's large and small flowzones. They knew that things had gotten out of hand, and the Divine Gu Dynasty was openly joining forces with the Sword Sect and the other powers. The Innerverse was about to face off against the Divine Gu Dynasty, but that was assuming that Lu Yin could survive. Young Empress Qing probably would not dare to kill Lu Yin since his background was too deep.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Grand Tutor Yuan was shocked, and he hurriedly tried to persuade Young Empress Qing.
Yuan Miaomiao's face paled, and she covered her mouth.
Qing Longlong, Prince Weasel, and the others' hearts sank. Young Empress Qing's attack meant that there was no turning back for Lu Yin. The Divine Gu Dynasty and the Great Eastern Alliance were about to go to war.
Young Empress Qing ignored the Grand Tutor and turned to look at Li Zimo. "Sword Sect, either you take action and deal with the Great Eastern Alliance while my Divine Gu Dynasty traps Lu Yin, or my Divine Gu Dynasty will join the Great Eastern Alliance and help Lu Yin unify the Innerverse. Choose now."
Elder Lianxin had entered the Divine Gu Dynasty to persuade Young Empress Qing to join forces with the Sword Sect to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance. But now, due to the Second Nightking's unforeseen circumstances, Young Empress Qing had no choice but to make a choice. She could either completely fall out with Lu Yin and start a war, or she could apologize. Given Lu Yin's temperament, the Divine Gu Dynasty had to join the Great Eastern Alliance.
There was no third option, and Young Empress Qing had been forced into this.
Her initial plan had only been to poison Lu Yin, and she had succeeded in doing so. The Second Nightking had only attacked Lu Yin to return a favor to the Daynight clan. If she had been lucky, then the Second Nightking would have killed Lu Yin, and the universe would not have so many problems. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the Second Nightking would expose her. She was a powerhouse with a power level of over 800,000, but she had been forced into two choices.
"What does Your Majesty Empress Qing want to do?" Li Zimo asked, as he was representing Elder Lianxin.
Young Empress Qing's gaze swept across the crowd. "Most of the people here are from the Inner Universe.
Most of the people in the universe view the Great Eastern Alliance as their enemy. I, Young Empress Qing, have been forced to this point by Lu Yin. He forced my Divine Gu Dynasty to become his enemy, and since that's the case, my Divine Gu Dynasty has nothing to fear from the Great Eastern Alliance. "
"Contact Sect Leader Liu and tell him to act according to our previous plan. I want the Great Eastern Alliance to not have a single Enlighter. Everyone will vanish, and no matter how many people they have, they'll still be nothing more than ants."
"Alright," Li Zimo hurriedly replied.
The Little Mountain God was excited. "We've been waiting for a long time. Don't worry, Your Majesty Empress Qing."
Ling Gong looked at Lu Yin, who was still trapped inside the two-headed centipede compound, with a complicated expression on his face. He could only blame himself for being too arrogant. From now on, even if the Great Eastern Alliance no longer existed, with his background, no one would dare to provoke him. Just focus on your cultivation.
There were too many important figures behind Lu Yin, but everyone knew that as long as Lu Yin's life was not in danger, those important figures would not take action. What happened to the Great Eastern Alliance had nothing to do with them.
This was also the plan that Elder Lianxin had discussed with Young Empress Qing when she had first entered the Divine Gu Dynasty. They wanted to completely eliminate all Enlighters in the Great Eastern Alliance. Once there were no Enlighters left, how could the Great Eastern Alliance resist the Innerverse?
Just relying on Lu Yin alone was not realistic.
The smaller flowzones could suppress the Great Eastern Alliance, such as the Northline Flowzone. Northgate Taisui alone could deal with everyone aside from Lu Yin, so what was the point of the Great Eastern Alliance existing?
Moonlight Mavis and the others sat quietly, as the matters of the Innerverse had nothing to do with them.
Mister You was gloating.
Balsam looked at the two-headed centipede compound. What was Lu Yin thinking?
With this person's personality, he would not be too radical. However, everything that he had done just now seemed to have intentionally forced Young Empress Qing into an opposing position. What exactly was he planning?
Only those who understood the Great Eastern Alliance the best knew that Lu Yin was not the only person who wanted to deal with him. There was also the person behind him. The so-called person behind him was not just the important figures who were inextricably linked to Lu Yin, but also the three intelligent people.
Qiong Xi'er had allowed the Great Eastern Alliance to become increasingly wealthy. Not only did they not need Lu Yin's funding, but they could also rely on their economy to suppress their enemies.
Wei Rong was adept at scheming outside of the battlefield. The Sixth Mainland had opened up Ironblood Weave's battlefield because of him, which had given the Great Eastern Alliance some breathing room.
This scheme to deal with the Divine Gu Dynasty had come from Wang Wen, as well as Lu Yin's own hidden strength.
Lu Yin had both strength and intelligence, but most people tended to overlook intelligence and only consider strength.
…
Several days later, outside of the Blazing Mist Flowzone, Liu Qianjue, Ling Qiu, and the Mountain God appeared. There was also an unfamiliar Envoy-level powerhouse who was an expert from the Phoenix family, Abel Phoenix. Finally, a graceful figure walked out. It was Madam You, the master of the Secluded Court.
"Everyone, from today onwards, there will be no more Enlighters in the Great Eastern Alliance. We will return peace to the Innerverse," Liu Qianjue announced loudly. After that, the five Envoys broke into the Astral Source Universe and headed towards the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
At the Divine Gu Dynasty's palace, everyone who had attended the banquet returned to their residences. However, they were not allowed to leave Gu King City, as the Young Empress was not allowed to divulge what had happened over the past few days. They could only leave after the matter with the Great Eastern Alliance was completely resolved.
Even Li Zimo and the others were not allowed to leave.
Within the two-headed centipede compound, Lu Yin was very calm. Everything had gone as he had expected, and he had been waiting for this day for a very long time. The Outerverse had long since been unified, so it was time for the Innerverse to be unified.
