When Lu Yin had returned from the Cosmic Tree Realm, he had told Cloud Shadow about the Four Way Scales and the Lu family. Feather Mavis must have told Cloud Shadow about this as well. If Cloud Shadow knew that Lu Yin was from the Lu family, then this alliance would be a disaster for the Mavis Family.
Thankfully, Elder Chan had not told the Mavis Family.
Spirit Fat Mavis had died, and the Mavis Family lacked a Half-Progenitor powerhouse. This was the most crucial piece of information, which allowed Lu Yin to take advantage of this loophole.
There was no need for any ceremony to form an alliance, and the Mavis Family was forming an alliance with Lu Yin, which had nothing to do with the Great Eastern Alliance. Lu Yin was more than willing to keep this matter a secret.
Just like when the Sword Sect had joined the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin had also concealed the fact that the Lingling clan and the Divine Grade Hall had been tricked.
Who would be tricked if the Mavis Family formed an alliance with him?
"Alliance Master Lu, there's something I need to remind you of." After the alliance was formed, Cloud Shadow looked at Lu Yin with an even more cordial gaze. "Try not to enter the Burial Gardens."
Lu Yin was confused. "Why?"
Cloud Shadow was solemn. "The Burial Gardens, as its name suggests, are burial grounds. When the first four mainlands were destroyed, the Mother Tree was connected to the Fifth Mainland, and many of the regions connected to the Mother Tree were integrated into the Burial Gardens. There are too many dangers there. Have you ever wondered why the Eternals did not attack the Burial Gardens since there are so many inheritances there?
That's because there are dangers that even Progenitors are afraid of. "
Lu Yin thought about the tea mountain and the Rune Technology ruins, and he agreed. "It is indeed dangerous. Right, why can the Burial Gardens' Doors open in various places in the universe?
Is the Burial Gardens' power really that terrifying? "
What he could not figure out the most was why the Burial Gardens' Doors were still open in the Starfall Sea.
The Burial Gardens should not have the ability to penetrate the Three Progenitors' defenses.
Cloud Shadow answered, "The Burial Gardens' history is as long as our Mavis Family's. Who knows how many Burial Gardens' Doors have been buried over the years? There might even be some that have not been opened yet."
"Why can the Burial Gardens' Doors travel through the universe?" Lu Yin asked.
Cloud Shadow answered, "I don't know much about that, but in history, the Daosource Sect has been able to do that. No matter where you are, as long as you have a futon, you can enter the Daosource Sect. Perhaps the Burial Gardens' principles are similar to the Daosource Sect."
"Senior Cloudshadow, can you tell us about Senior Spirit Fat Mavis' tribulation?"
"Back then …"
…
Through his conversation with Cloudshadow, Lu Yin had learned quite a few things. If possible, he would have liked to stay in the Mavis Clan for a bit longer and chat with the Ancestral Turtle. Perhaps he would have been able to connect with it, but this sudden incident had disrupted his plans.
The Hall of Honor's Board of Directors decided to dismiss Liu Ran and have King Ye take over his position.
When Lu Yin heard the news, he immediately decided to head to World Mountain.
Liu Ran represented the Sword Sect, and when the Sword Sect had joined the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin knew that Liu Ran would not be able to hold onto her position as a director for much longer. This was the same for Nightking Zheng. However, Lu Yin had not expected for Liu Ran's position to end so soon. Mister Right had not even been chased out, and Liu Ran's position had been replaced by King Ye. This was something that Lu Yin could not accept no matter what.
He immediately contacted Old Man Bu and told him to delay the meeting of the board of directors and head to Jie Mountain at the same time.
Glory Realm, Jie Mountain. The meeting of the board of directors that was originally scheduled to be held two days later was changed due to the sudden illness of the old man.
Nan Yuan immediately went to visit the Old Man Bu Lao.
The Ageless Man lay weakly on the bed. Around him were medicinal pills, nutrient fluids, and other things that were emitting fluorescent light. There were also healing cultivators serving him.
。
"Illness rarely happens to cultivators. Even if you're sick and can delay it for a few days, it's still not enough to remove Liu Ran from her position," Nan Yuan said as he arrived outside Old Man Bu Lao's room.
Old Man Bu weakly replied, "Director Nan Yuan, my body is weak, so I won't be receiving you."
Nan Yuan sneered. "I know that you're stalling for time. According to the rules of the board of directors, Liu Ran must be removed from her position. What you're doing is useless. Old Man Bu Lao, when you were bullied by Highsage and even used your only privilege, you still ended up like that. Don't you feel disappointed?"
Old Man Bu Lao did not reply.
Nan Yuan continued, "The older you get, the more cowardly you become. You won't be able to hold onto your position for much longer." He then waved his hand and left.
Not long after, someone came to visit Old Man Bu. It was King Ye.
"I heard that the director was sick, so I specially brought some special medicine from Shamrock Enterprises. Please accept it," King Ye said as he stood outside the door.
Old Man Bu weakly replied, "Thank you for your kind intentions, King Ye. Please stay. Once my condition improves, I'll personally thank you."
King Ye left.
Mister You had arrived with the same intentions as Nan Yuan, but Old Man Bu was even more disdainful of him and completely ignored him.
One person after another visited Old Man Bu, and they were all from Nan Yuan's faction. However, Old Man Bu's condition was still not good.
Nan Yuan met with King Ye.
"Even if Old Man Bu is stalling for time, it's useless. The board of directors will definitely convene, and Liu Ran will definitely be removed from her position," Nan Yuan said confidently.
King Ye frowned. "He's stalling for time? What is he waiting for?"
Nan Yuan did not know this, as no one knew of Lu Yin's whereabouts. The Mavis Family would not purposely reveal Lu Yin's whereabouts, so they did not even know that Lu Yin was currently in the Glory Realm and was rushing towards the World Mountain.
"No matter what he's waiting for, it won't change the situation. Besides, I can give Brother Ye some assurance." Nan Yuan looked at King Ye and smiled. "I paid a visit to Elder Chan regarding the removal of Liu Ran, and I felt that his attitude towards Lu Yin had changed. Although it wasn't obvious, I could still feel it."
King Ye's eyes flashed. "Changed?"
Nan Yuan nodded. "It's a very subtle change, but I'm certain that it has indeed changed. Elder Chan is no longer so supportive of Lu Yin, so Liu Ran will definitely be removed from her position. Someone from the Innerverse needs to take over the position of director. The eight great flowzones have all sided with the Great Eastern Alliance, and the only one that hasn't is the Wen family. However, the Wen family does not dare to openly oppose the Great Eastern Alliance, so only you can represent the Innerverse as a director. Congratulations, Brother Ye."
King Ye smiled. "When I become a director, I will definitely not forget Brother Nan's kindness, and I will also fulfill my promise to the Xia family."
Nan Yuan laughed. "Don't worry, haha."
Old Man Bu still wanted to stall for time, but he could not do so for long. Then, Third Elder fell ill.
Nan Yuan was furious and wanted to curse, but he had no evidence to prove that Third Elder was stalling for time. Old Man Bu was indeed old.
Third Elder fell ill for several days, and soon, San Liang fell ill as well.
This time, Nan Yuan could not take it anymore, and he rushed to San Liang's residence to curse at him.
With so many people falling ill, even an idiot would know that there was a problem.
King Ye's face darkened, and he grew increasingly uneasy. He urged Nan Yuan to quickly convene the board of directors.
In the end, the board of directors was set to convene in three days, and it did not matter who fell ill.
Under these circumstances, Lu Yin finally arrived at Realm Mountain.
The moment Lu Yin arrived, the entire Hall of Honor knew about it.
Nan Yuan was dumbfounded. "How did Lu Yin get here?
Wasn't he in Burial Garden? "
King Ye's face darkened. He had thought that these people were stalling for time, but he had not expected Lu Yin to show up.
It would take some time to travel from the Innerverse to the Neoverse, and if Lu Yin was in Burial Garden, no one would be able to contact him. However, Lu Yin had actually rushed over.
Lu Yin's arrival shook Realm Mountain.
This time, no one would ignore him. He had unified the Innerverse and had more than ten Envoy-level powerhouses under his command. No matter how one looked at it, Lu Yin was a big shot.
One of the Envoy-level powerhouses who guarded Realm Mountain personally welcomed Lu Yin and brought him into Realm Mountain.
When Lu Yin arrived, the first thing he did was visit Director Xin Jiao.
Xin Jiao was helpless. "There are precedents for removing Liu Ran. The Sword Sect has joined the Great Eastern Alliance, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. Liu Ran must be removed as well. Alliance Master Lu, please do not make things difficult for me."
If possible, Xin Jiao would be willing to do Lu Yin a favor, but Liu Ran's removal could not be reversed.
Lu Yin smiled. "Of course, I won't make things difficult for Director Xin Jiao. However, I have a suggestion."
…
After leaving Xin Jiao's residence, many people stared at Lu Yin. Lu Yin headed towards Star Alliance World, as he wanted to visit the directors one by one.
Nan Yuan was uneasy, and he immediately suggested that the board be convened as soon as possible. This suggestion was easily approved, so much so that Nan Yuan thought it was fake.
The removal of a director was an important board, so naturally, everyone had to be present.
The nine directors of the Hall of Honor were all present, and aside from them, King Ye was also present.
King Ye was the only outsider present.
When Liu Ran saw that King Ye was present, he immediately grew angry. "How can an outsider participate in the board?"
Nan Yuan slowly replied, "Director Liu Ran, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. His Excellency King Ye is going to replace you as the new director, so how can you be an outsider?"
Liu Ran growled, "Even if he wants to replace me, the official appointment has not yet taken effect. Isn't it too early for him to attend the board?"
"That's right." The old man was rather weak. "Only directors can participate in the board. If you are not a director, please wait outside."
King Ye smiled, nodded to Nan Yuan, and then walked out.
Nan Yuan did not mind. From his point of view, this was just Liu Ran's final struggle. So what if Lu Yin came?
How many years of tradition could Lu Yin change?
He was certain that Elder Chan's attitude had changed.
Elder Chan represented the direction of the Hall of Honor, and once his attitude changed, Lu Yin would no longer have as much authority in the Hall of Honor. Liu Ran was definitely going to be removed.
Nan Yuan was about to speak, but San Liang beat him to it. "The board will now begin. The first topic is removal." He paused and looked at Liu Ran. Liu Ran's face was filled with astonishment.
Nan Yuan was equally astonished when he heard the words "removal." San Liang was even more anxious than he was.
Had he been bribed by King Ye?
Or had someone secretly instructed him to do so?
It wasn't just Nan Yuan; Mr. Right, Xin Jiao, Zi Jing, and the rest were all astonished as well. Had they not seen San Liang's inclination to remove Liu Ran?
He had even pretended to be sick.
No one was stupid, and San Liang's behavior had made them certain that this person was leaning towards Lu Yin.
"Remove Mr. Right from his position as a director," San Liang said as he turned to Mr. Right.
Mr. Right was stunned, and then he became furious. "What did you say?"
