At this moment, many cultivators from the Divine Gu Dynasty surrounded Lu Yin and stared at him with murderous intent. Since Lu Yin was Young King Qing's enemy, he was naturally the Divine Gu Dynasty's enemy as well.
In the sky and on the ground, countless Gu worms and cultivators surrounded the imperial palace, waiting for an order to kill Lu Yin.
Little Mountain God and the rest were relaxed. Although Young King Qing had been taken away by the head inquisitor, he had asked for it. In any case, the Great Eastern Alliance was probably out of luck, as they would not have a single Enlighter. As for an Emissary?
That was even more impossible.
They did not care about the Divine Gu Dynasty's fate, as they were all here to watch the show.
Lu Yin's gaze swept across the crowd before finally landing on Prince Ruan. "Is this the Divine Gu Dynasty's attitude towards me?"
Prince Ruan's expression was gloomy as he looked at Lu Yin. Everything that had happened flashed through his mind, and in the end, he raised a hand and waved.
"Your Highness, His Majesty was harmed by this person. Please allow us to kill him!" someone shouted, looking at Lu Yin with hostility.
Many people agreed, including some of the Divine Gu Dynasty's ministers. These cultivators who could appear in the palace all had venomous insects, and all sorts of venomous insects surrounded Lu Yin.
In the distance, outside the palace, Little Fa and the other participants of the competition were being chased away from the palace.
Yi Guan woke up with a dazed expression.
His luck had been pretty good, as he had relied on the Life Extending Butterfly to survive the Second Nightking's attack and had even avoided being captured by the head inquisitor. Otherwise, with his relationship with Young King Qing, he would have been captured as well.
"Where's His Majesty?"
Yi Guan was at a loss. As soon as he spoke, Prince Ruan raised his hand and transformed it into a claw. With a swipe, Yi Guan slowly fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
Lu Yin looked at Yi Guan's corpse with a strange expression.
Although the Second Nightking's attack had not been powerful, it had still been enough to kill this person. However, Yi Guan had been able to survive because of the Life Extending Butterfly, and the Second Nightking had not attacked him after that, allowing him to survive. In the end, however, he had died at Prince Ruan's hands.
Prince Ruan looked at Yi Guan with disgust. Many things had been instigated by this person, including Elder Lianxin's meeting with his brother. It was also this person who had instigated his brother to be hostile towards the Great Eastern Alliance.
This person should have been dead a long time ago.
"Alliance Master Lu, my Divine Venomous Insect Dynasty has absolutely no ill intentions towards you. We trapped you inside the two-headed centipede because we sensed that someone was trying to assassinate you. It was a form of protection. The facts have proven that someone was indeed trying to assassinate you, Alliance Master Lu," said the Cunning Prince sincerely.
Lu Yin looked at him strangely.
Lu Yin wasn't the only one; everyone else also looked at the Prince of Harem strangely. Just how thick was this guy's skin to say something like that?
The group of people from the Divine Venom Dynasty looked at the Cunning Prince with a strange gaze. Was this the Cunning Prince who did not care about court affairs, was occasionally arrogant and conceited, but was also afraid of death?
Was it that Prince Naughty, who was good at protecting himself?
Although Lu Yin's words were shameless, they dissolved the most direct hostility between the Divine Venomous Beast Dynasty and Lu Yin.
Not only that, but killing Director Yi was also an explanation to Lu Yin.
It was only now that Lu Yin truly understood the Benevolent Prince. This person was even more patient than Young Empress Qing. Back then, Lu Yin had thought that the Benevolent Prince had no desires and was merely afraid of death. Now, however, it seemed that the Benevolent Prince was more suited to rule the Divine Gu Dynasty than Young Empress Qing.
At least he was thick-skinned.
Lu Yin smiled. "So you're saying that the Divine Venomous Beast Dynasty has no enmity towards me?"
"Of course," the Cunning Prince said seriously. "When the Great Eastern Alliance first entered Fennel Flowzone, that was the gateway to our Gu Flowzone. My Divine Venomous Beast Dynasty did not make things difficult for you, and we even helped you. Today, we've invited Alliance Master Lu here to express our goodwill.
That slave offended Alliance Master Lu, and as an apology, my royal brother is willing to allow Alliance Master Lu to enter the treasury and choose whatever you like.
"As for the Second Nightking's assassination, it was a complete accident. The Daynight clan was trying to sow discord, and I hope that Alliance Master Lu does not believe them. Alliance Master Lu should understand the Daynight clan better than we do. When Nightking Zhenwu fought with Alliance Master Lu, he actually poisoned you beforehand. How can the words of someone from that clan be taken seriously?"
Qing Longlong felt as if this was the first time she had met the Cunning Prince. This uncle of hers who did not like to talk much seemed to be able to see through many things.
The Cunning Prince's explanation was not very convincing, and it could only be said that he was thick-skinned. Now that Qing Longlong had been taken away for trial, Lu Yin no longer had any thoughts of making an enemy out of the Divine Venomous Beast Dynasty. His goal was to get Gu Flowzone to join the Great Eastern Alliance, not to make enemies.
Since the Cunning Prince had already shown his friendliness, Lu Yin did not mind giving him a way out.
"Your Highness is right. The Daynight clan cannot be trusted," Lu Yin said with a sigh.
The Cunning Prince relaxed.
His standpoint was different from Qing Longlong's. Even if Lu Yin did not join the Great Eastern Alliance, the Cunning Prince still did not want to offend this person. This person was too ruthless.
"Your Highness, Qing Longlong views Lu Yin as a great enemy. It was because of him that the palace was destroyed, and it was also because of him that the Divine Venomous Beast Dynasty was surrounded by the Great Eastern Alliance. Have you forgotten all of this?" Mister You asked.
"The Great Eastern Alliance is about to disappear," Ling Gong mocked as he stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin blinked and looked at Ling Gong. "The Great Eastern Alliance is about to disappear?
What do you mean? "
Ling Gong coldly replied, "The Blazing Mist Flowzone should be very lively. Why don't you ask around and find out for yourself?"
Lu Yin glanced at Yuehua Mavis and Xiangzhi before sweeping his gaze across Wen Yao, Wen Sansi, Qing Longlong, Ling Que, and the rest. "It seems like something happened while we were trapped inside the two-headed centipede."
"Actually, I wanted to invite everyone to watch a show when we left, but the appearance of the Neohuman Alliance and the head inquisitor disrupted the flow of events. It's not too late to watch it now." Lu Yin raised his hand and activated his gadget to connect to someone.
Not long after, a screen rose up and gradually expanded until it floated above the palace's destroyed building. An intense battle was taking place within the screen. On one side was Chen Huang, a giant that was too eye-catching. On the other side was a similarly enormous creature, the Mountain God.
The battle between Chen Huang and the Mountain God shook the stars.
Aside from Chen Huang, there was another inconspicuous figure who was also battling the Mountain God. The figure was Luo Huang.
Chen Huang and Luo Huang were working together against the Mountain God, but they were still at a disadvantage.
"Alliance Master, the Mountain God is still the leader of one of the Eight Great Flowzones. Although he might be the weakest, he's still not weak. He's not someone that Chen Huang and Luo Huang can deal with."
Following that, Chen Huang's nine-lined battle force was shattered, and his enormous body was pushed back. The Mountain God viciously pressed down, causing Chen Huang to spit out blood.
The Mountain God clearly had the upper hand, but for some reason, the little Mountain God did not feel happy at all. This was because the person who had spoken to Lu Yin had sounded very relaxed.
Lu Yin replied, "If you can't beat him, then switch opponents. Don't die."
"There's no need for that. Someone will come to help soon." As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Rings of Plum Blossom froze the sky. The Ice Empress of the Royal Frost Continent arrived and attacked the Mountain God. Further away, an Undying Bird was frozen in the void.
When the Ice Empress appeared, Lu Yin no longer cared about the battlefield. "Contact Wei Rong."
Following that, another screen rose up that also showed a great battle between two women. One was Ling Qiu, the leader of the Lingling clan.
The other was the leader of the Secluded Court, Madam You.
"Madam You?"
Ling Gong and Ling Que were shocked. "Impossible! The Secluded Court is controlled by the Sword Sect. Why would Madam You attack the Lingling clan?"
In terms of absolute power, Madam You was not stronger than Ling Qiu, but she was from the You family of the Seven Courts, and her foundation surpassed that of the Lingling clan. It would be difficult to determine a victor between the two women.
"Contact Ku Wei."
Another screen rose up, but this one was trembling. The person recording the battle was constantly retreating. Sword qi swept across the screen, and the void was torn apart. No one could see the person on the screen.
"Master, I don't dare to go any closer. That's the battle between Liu Qianjue and Ancestor Ling Taizu," Ku Wei said.
Ling Gong suddenly stepped forward and stared at the screen. Although he could not see it, there was no mistaking it. The person fighting against Ancestor Ling Taizu was definitely Liu Qianjue, but why?
Shouldn't Liu Qianjue be fighting against the Great Eastern Alliance?
Why was he fighting against the Lingling clan?
Lu Yin was astonished. "Ancestor Ling Taizu?
I never thought that there would be such an expert. "
"What's going on?"
Little Mountain God cried out and turned to glare at Li Zimo. "Why is the Sword Sect helping the Great Eastern Alliance?"
Ling Gong, Wen Yao, Mister You, and the rest all looked at Li Zimo.
The Sword Sect had changed sides, and Liu Qianjue and Madam You had both helped the Great Eastern Alliance. This had directly affected the battle situation, and even Ancestor Ling Taizu, who had been hiding all this time, had joined the battle.
This was the show that Lu Yin had brought them to watch.
Li Zimo was very calm, and he did not speak.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back, and his voice reverberated throughout the entire Shengu Continent. "The Daynight Flowzone, Chaos Flowzone, Blazing Mist Flowzone, and the First Flowzone all belong to the Great Eastern Alliance. The Gu Flowzone has been sealed and is now facing the Interstellar Arbiter's investigation. What else do you have to resist?"
He then looked at Wen Sansi. "What's the Erudite Flowzone's stance?"
Wen Sansi looked at Lu Yin deeply. "My Wen family has always been friendly with the Great Eastern Alliance, and we have never been enemies."
Lu Yin smiled. "From today onwards, the Great Eastern Alliance will officially join the Innerverse's eight great flowzones."
Everyone stared at him in shock.
The Cunning Prince was currently representing the Gu Flowzone, but he could not refute Lu Yin's words, nor did he dare to. Young King Qing's fate was a perfect example.
Little Mountain God and the rest stared blankly at the battle on the screen, not knowing what to do.
Today should have been the day that the Great Eastern Alliance would decline, so why had things turned out this way?
What had gone wrong?
Why was the Sword Sect helping Lu Yin?
Lu Yin looked down at the crowd. It was not enough, not enough, and this was only the starting point. It would take some time before the Innerverse would truly join the Great Eastern Alliance, but that time was running out.
This region of space would eventually belong to Lu Yin, and no one would be able to stop him.
Regardless of whether it was Liu Qianjue or Ling Taizu who won, the Great Eastern Alliance would definitely win in the end. There was still Emperor Liu, who had yet to make a move.
Emperor Liu had hidden himself out of fear of Kun Ze, or else he would have made a move long ago.
Just as Lu Yin was thinking about this, there was a sudden change. A beam of sword qi slashed through space and sliced the entire universe horizontally, revealing the Astral Source Universe.
It was Emperor Liu's sword qi.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. There's someone else?
Space crumbled as a palm was cut off, turning into a strange branch that fell to the ground. Emperor Liu streaked past the stars and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. This person was not with Ling Taizu and the rest, and he had attacked in secret. Furthermore, Emperor Liu's attack had come from within the Ross Empire's stronghold. This person had entered the stronghold.
