So what? Leon's Armada is full of pirates. Hand it over! "A few cultivators chased after the fleeing man and easily caught him before slashing at him with their blades. The man's face went pale." Don't kill me! I'll give it to you. "
"Too late." The blade slashed down without hesitation, and with a clang, the blade suddenly broke. The broken hilt barely grazed the man's neck, and if it had been any closer, the man would have been killed.
The attacker was shocked, and he looked around. "Who's meddling in other people's business?"
Lu Yin walked out of the void and lightly tapped his foot, causing a gale to sweep out. The cultivators around him were all sent flying by an unstoppable force. Fortunately, Lu Yin had not been too harsh, or they would have been dead by now.
Anyone who could survive in the Cosmic Sea was not a simple character, and these people could easily determine Lu Yin's strength through his attacks. They did not dare to say anything else and immediately fled.
The man who had just escaped death panted heavily as he looked at Lu Yin and thanked him.
"No need to thank me. Take the item in your hand as a gift," Lu Yin said.
The man hesitated for a moment before extending his hand. "It's yours."
Not too far away, the cultivator who was clearly with the man was unwilling to accept this, but he did not dare to say anything. Lu Yin's strength was not something they could imagine.
"I took your item, so this is your compensation." Lu Yin tossed over a hundred star essence before vanishing.
With a splash, the hundred star essence fell into the sea. The man was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly scooped them up.
"Boss, that's a lot of star essence!
It's enough for us. "The cultivator nearby was pleasantly surprised when he saw the amount.
The man gulped. He had originally wanted to sell that item, but in a place like the Cosmic Sea, selling it for a few dozen star essence would already be considered good. There was even a chance that it would be snatched away without even getting a single cent. He had not expected that person to be so generous and give him so many star essence.
"Second Bro, we've met a benefactor," the man said dryly. He suppressed the ecstasy in his eyes and hurriedly put the star essence away. "Let's go."
"Boss, why do I feel like that person looked familiar?
I think I've seen him somewhere before. "
"I think so too. He should be a big shot. Don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go and prevent those people from chasing after us."
…
Lu Yin appeared on the Arcane Arrow Crew's battleship. He opened his arms, and the corners of his lips curled up in surprise.
Fatesand. He had never imagined that he would run into Fatesand in the Cosmic Sea. This was truly fate.
Hai Dalu looked at the item in Lu Yin's hand and was shocked. "This is … Fatesand?"
Lu Yin replied, "I was lucky."
Hai Dalu sighed in admiration. "All this time, I've only heard of Fatesand, but I never expected to see it in person today. Alliance Master Lu is truly blessed."
Lu Yin put away the Fatesand. "I'm collecting this thing. If you know where I can find Fatesand, tell me, and you can discuss your conditions with me."
Hai Dalu smiled and said, "If I knew, I would definitely tell Alliance Master Lu. I actually do have something that I'd like to ask Alliance Master Lu for help with."
"Oh?"
Lu Yin glanced at him. Ever since this person had boarded the ship, everyone else, including the captain, had distanced themselves from him. Only this person had approached him, and it was obvious that he had a motive.
"I wonder if Alliance Chief Lu still remembers Zhang Chiting?" Hai Dalu asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin's gaze changed, and he abruptly turned to stare at Hai Dalu, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
"You're from the Hidden Earth Society?"
Hai Dalu nodded. "I wanted to tell you from the moment I saw you, but I hesitated. That's right, I'm from the Hidden Earth Society."
Lu Yin had never expected this person to be from the Hidden Earth Society. The first time he had heard about the Hidden Earth Society was from Huo Qingshan. He knew a little about the society after that, but he didn't know much. He only knew that the society was working for Earth and for the primeval surnames.
In the Starry Sky Tree, he had also learned about the existence of the Hidden Earth Organization because of the Fusion of Six Pips. Compared to the Fifth Mainland, the Hidden Earth Organization in the Starry Sky Tree seemed to be more powerful.
He already knew the significance of the primeval surnames in the Fifth Mainland, but what about the Hidden Earth Society?
What about the Primeval Surname Alliance?
What did they mean?
"Since you're from the Hidden Earth Society, then you should ask me for the same favor as Zhang Chiting," Lu Yin said.
Hai Dalu sighed. "It won't be long before Earth's civilization goes extinct again." He looked at Lu Yin solemnly. "We're useless and can't help Earth. The only one who can help Earth is you, Alliance Master Lu. Please, help Earth."
"Tell me everything you know about the Hidden Earth Society," Lu Yin said calmly.
Hai Dalu didn't hesitate and told him everything he knew.
Hai Dalu's knowledge of the Hidden Earth Society was the same as Huo Qingshan and Zhang Chiting's. These people didn't know anything about the Hidden Earth Society's origins or what was on Jupiter, which disappointed Lu Yin.
"How many people are there in the Hidden Earth Society?" Lu Yin asked.
Hai Dalu smiled bitterly. "I know about a dozen, and I'm the leader. I'm not sure how many others there are. Our society doesn't have a unified management. Some go to Jupiter, some go out to explore, and some stay on Earth. If Alliance Master Lu wants to take the Hidden Earth Society for your own use, then I can only say that it's meaningless.
"Right, there's something you should know. I was the one who took Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue, Xu San, and Seruzen away."
Lu Yin was shocked. "You were the one who took them away?"
Hai Dalu nodded. "When Earth's apocalypse happened, I wanted to intervene, but too many people entered the planet. Not only were there people from the Great Yu Empire, but there were also people from the Daynight clan and the Mavis family. It was simply unbelievable. I saw Alliance Master Lu turn the tide and save Earth, and I also saw Zhang Dingtian and the others leave.
"I followed them to the Great Yu Empire, and while you were studying in the Astral Combat Academy, I took Zhang Dingtian and the others with me. They had no future in the Great Yu Empire, and at that time, I didn't know that Alliance Master Lu would be able to reach your current position. Otherwise, there would have been no need for me to take them away."
Lu Yin understood. Hai Dalu was an Enlighter, and it would have been easy for him to take a few people away from the Great Yu Empire. The only person who could have stopped him was Undying Yushan, but Undying Yushan had disguised himself as a Hunter at the time, so he couldn't have acted.
"They're all good seedlings, and I wanted to take them out to the universe to train. I left Zhang Dingtian on the Grayweed Continent in the Starfall Sea, and I placed Bai Xue in the Outerverse. I took Xu San to the Cosmic Sea, and Seruzen to the Innerverse. I firmly believe that Earthlings won't fail so easily, and they'll all have their own opportunities."
"Because of you, Bai Xue was controlled, Xu San almost died, and Seruzen went missing. Only Zhang Dingtian was lucky enough to obtain Taixuan Dojo's inheritance and even join Zhongshan Dojo."
Hai Dalu's eyes lit up. "That's enough. As long as one person can climb up, that's enough."
Lu Yin shook his head. His thinking was different from Hai Dalu's, but he couldn't say that Hai Dalu was wrong.
Earth was the most ordinary planet, and it didn't have the ability to bring them any opportunities, nor did it have any resources. Hai Dalu had been able to cultivate from an ordinary person to an Enlighter, and it hadn't been easy for him to roam the Cosmic Sea.
"Alliance Master Lu, you've lived on Earth for a while. If possible, please save Earth," Hai Dalu requested solemnly.
Lu Yin was curious. "You didn't tell me your identity before, but now you're telling me. Why?"
Hai Dalu's eyes flashed. "Because you gave that person money."
"Just because of that?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Hai Dalu lowered his voice. "I walked from Earth to become an Enlighter step by step, and the experiences I've gone through are unimaginable. I've never received much support from anyone, and it's difficult for me to experience familial love or friendship. I've met countless hypocrites, and I've experienced the most desperate moments. I believe that I'm a good judge of character. Alliance Master Lu, you saved that person's life, but you're still willing to exchange star essence for Fatesand.
Lu Yin was amused. "Is that a compliment?"
"I don't have the right to compliment you. I'm just speaking the truth."
With Hai Dalu's identity as Earth Invisibility, the two of them had become closer. Lu Yin never treated Earth Invisibility as a threat, and Earth could be considered his second home.
Actually, there were many planets in the universe that had tried their best to protect themselves the moment they became a cultivation civilization. Basically, every cultivation civilization had its own organization that hoped to unite and gain a foothold in the universe. Unfortunately, most were unable to do so.
The Great Eastern Alliance was a different kind of alliance, and it was an alliance between weaves. Earth Invisibility, on the other hand, was an alliance between planets.
"After we pass through the Inverted Seashore, we'll enter Leon's Armada's territory," Hai Dalu said as he pointed at the strange scenery in front of them.
There was not an endless sea in front of the warship, but rather two seas that seemed to be inverted. The moment a ship touched the Inverted Seashore, the entire ship turned upside down as well. It was a very peculiar sight.
When they arrived, there were more ships around them, and there were also many small islands around.
"Leon's Armada controls more than half of the Cosmic Sea, and they protect the people, ships, and islands in those areas. Correspondingly, they also receive resources. The closer we get to the Inverted Seashore, the livelier it becomes. Many people come here to do business, so there's no need to worry about safety here. Leon's Armada is in charge of everything …" Hai Dalu explained.
Lu Yin sighed in admiration. It was indeed very lively, and these people were not afraid of Leon's Armada's existence. It was obvious that Leon's Armada was more popular here.
After entering the Inverted Seashore, the Arcadian Arrow Crew's warship turned upside down as well, and they soon entered an azure sea.
As soon as they entered the sea, the weather suddenly changed. Red rain began to fall, and the entire sea was dyed red.
Nobody tried to avoid it, as this type of red rain was very common.
The Arcadian Arrow Crew's arrival attracted some attention, but nobody stopped them. They smoothly arrived near Leon's Armada's warship.
When they arrived, Captain Dirk and the rest greeted Lu Yin and were about to leave.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "There's a guest on the ship. Even if you want to leave, you should at least greet the guest."
Captain Dirk and the rest were shocked. Guest?
They had not sensed anything at all.
"Cap- Captain, behind you!" Someone cried out in alarm.
Captain Dirk suddenly turned around, and the red rain continued to fall. However, something obstructed him from behind, and the rain slid to the side to form a human figure.
