"You're spouting nonsense." Nan Yuan's expression turned ugly after hearing San Liang's words. Just as he was about to say something else, the originally peaceful courtyard suddenly changed on the screen. Multiple figures charged in and started a fierce battle with the cultivators guarding Nan Yuan's courtyard, destroying the house in the blink of an eye.
Nan Yuan's eyes went wide, and he was furious, but he did not do anything. He could not do anything on the Board.
Bo was quickly discovered, and at the same time, the guards of Realm Mountain appeared and captured everyone who had attacked Nan Yuan's residence. Nan Yuan quickly received the news, but at this moment, he did not have the time to care about the courtyard.
"Director Nan Yuan, please explain why Third Elder's grandson is with you," San Liang said with a faint smile as he looked at Nan Yuan.
Third Elder's eyes reddened, and there was exhaustion and regret in the depths of his gaze. He regretted becoming a director three times, regretting that he had pursued power, which had led to the destruction of his family.
Times had changed, and in the past, no one had dared to offend a director. A single word from him could change the structure of a vast region in the universe, and a single word from him could strike fear into the hearts of even Envoys. As he walked the universe, no one dared to disrespect him. This had caused him to lose himself, and he had become intoxicated with power.
Relying on his prestige, he had ascended to the position of director time and time again. No one had held the position more than him, and he had created history for the Board.
However, times had changed. The Sixth Mainland had casually sent someone to control him, and then he had been controlled by a junior like Lu Yin. He had even used this to counter Nan Yuan. He was truly tired and did not want to participate in these matters. He just wanted to enjoy his old age with his grandson.
Under San Liang's gaze, Nan Yuan stared at Third Elder. "I'm not the one who kidnapped Third Elder's grandson. It was Lu Yin. He kidnapped the child." He suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Yin. "You kidnapped the child and used it to control Third Elder. I saved him and gave him a good living environment."
Lu Yin did not answer, as this person was no longer of any value.
"Director Nan Yuan, you say that Director Lu kidnapped the child. Do you have any proof?
Also, since you saved the child, why didn't you send him back to Third Elder?
Why did you keep him for yourself? "Bu Lao asked slowly.
Nan Yuan answered in a low voice, "Lu Yin's methods are sinister. I was afraid that he would kidnap the child again if I sent him back, so I could only leave him with me. I've already told Third Elder about this."
Everyone looked at Third Elder.
The old man took a deep breath. His face was weary, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Bo hadn't died, so he had a reason to live. "The director of Nan Yuan did contact me," said the old man.
Nan Yuan's expression relaxed.
Lu Yin's expression didn't change, and he even lowered his head to open his gadget and check the current news.
"However, he didn't contact me to protect Beau as he said. Instead, he wanted me to support his proposal unconditionally during the board meeting," the old man said slowly.
The corners of San Liang's mouth curled up.
Nan Yuan's pupils shrank and he shouted, "Third Elder, what nonsense are you spouting?"
The third elder sighed. "Nan Yuan, you and I have worked together for a while, but your methods are worthy of the Seven Courts. You tried to use Bo to control me, but I had no choice but to beg the third elder to help me rescue Bo. You were the one who kidnapped Bo from the very beginning."
Nan Yuan's body swayed, and he felt dizzy.
At that moment, Bo trembled as he answered the World Mountain's guard's question. "It's … it's the director of Nan Yuan who killed my parents and kidnapped me. He even used me to control my grandfather. I beg you, please save me! Save my grandfather!"
Nan Yuan stared blankly at the screen, watching Bo's tearful voice. Anyone would have believed his words.
It was over. Everything was over. Kidnapping a director's family to control the director and monopolize the board was a great taboo. There was no way he could continue to stay on the board. Even if he wasn't severely punished because he was from the Seven Courts, he wouldn't have a good ending if he returned to the Seven Courts. He was too stupid.
Yes, too stupid. Nan Yuan had lost all his strength, and his ferocious claws had all been broken the moment Third Elder had pointed him out.
This had all been a scam from beginning to end.
Some time ago, news of Bo had suddenly reached him, and it had come from the information network he had set up himself.
When he had heard about Bo, he had become excited. Controlling a director would increase his authority in the board. Not only would his status rise, but it would also increase his influence in the Seven Courts. Most importantly, he had been the one to save Bo, and Third Elder's transformation had nothing to do with him.
He had saved Bo and allowed Bo to meet with Third Elder, earning his gratitude. Using this to control this director had been too easy.
However, he had never thought that he would fall into someone else's trap. Bo had been bait, and he had excitedly swallowed it. In the end, he had become someone else's fish.
Bo had been real, and Third Elder's transformation had been real as well. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to fool him. However, this had been a trap within a trap, and he had only seen the surface.
Regardless of whether it was Nan Yuan or Third Elder, they were all pawns. Even if Bo had been rescued, Third Elder was still a pawn of the person who had set this trap.
Nan Yuan looked at Lu Yin, but the latter ignored him. This clown no longer existed in Nan Yuan's eyes.
"Nan Yuan, what else do you have to say?" San Liang's expression changed, and he sternly glared at Nan Yuan.
Xin Jiao could not help but look at Lu Yin. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nan Yuan had been tricked, but who would help him?
There was no one to help him, and the evidence was conclusive. Nan Yuan's path as a director had come to an end.
Lu Yin was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Nan Yuan smiled bitterly and could not help but applaud. "Brilliant, truly brilliant. You easily took down a director. You truly live up to your reputation as the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin looked up and met Nan Yuan's gaze. "What does that have to do with me?"
Nan Yuan raised his head and exhaled. "I lost. Blame me for being too stupid. But Alliance Leader Lu, don't forget that even if I'm gone, this seat won't belong to your people. There will always be someone from the Seven Courts here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and the guards from the Realm Mountain entered and escorted Nan Yuan away.
Not only had he been removed from his position, but he had also been punished. Although the punishment would not be too severe due to his status in the Seven Courts, he would still be locked up.
"Alliance Leader Lu, you're in charge of the Board. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you cover the sky with one hand?
Do you really think that this region of space can bear the surname 'Lu'? "Nan Yuan's voice gradually faded away.
Many people heard his words, and they all looked at Lu Yin with complicated expressions.
This region of space could bear the surname 'Lu'?
They had never considered this possibility before, but now, it seemed to be getting closer and closer.
The Great Eastern Alliance had unified the Innerverse and Outerverse, and they had taken over the war against the Astral Beast Domain. Dozens of Envoys had participated in the war, and Lu Yin himself had become a director. He controlled the Board and could easily decide the fate of the other directors. The Board had always been responsible for deciding the matters of the Human Domain, both big and small. It could rule on any power, big or small, and change the situation. To a certain extent, it could even influence Elder Chan's judgment.
Lu Yin controlled the Board, which was the same as controlling the Hall of Honor's external decisions.
He had the title, and he also had the power.
The Cosmic Sea.
This was not an obstacle to him, but once the Great Eastern Alliance entered the Neoverse, who would be able to stop them?
Was this region of space still far from the Lu surname?
There were some things that one was not afraid of doing, but one was afraid of thinking about them. The more one thought about them, the scarier and more horrifying they became.
Lu Yin had not expected Nan Yuan to make such a move before he left. Coupled with the director's sorrowful condemnation, it was easy for people to make many connections.
The atmosphere was a little silent.
At this moment, there was some movement outside the door. The door was pushed open, and Big Sis walked in.
Due to her cultivation technique, Big Sis often changed, and Lu Yin was very apprehensive, as he did not know what she had become.
When Lu Yin saw Big Sis, he relaxed. Fortunately, she still looked normal. He hurriedly stood up and gave her a fawning smile. "Sis, you're here."
The others were stunned, as they had never seen Lu Yin like this before.
Big Sis snorted. "Hypocrite, stop pretending in front of me. Where's that Nan Yuan?"
"He was taken away and locked up. He's in a miserable state," Lu Yin said.
Big Sis coldly replied, "He got off too easy." Then, under the stunned gazes of the other directors, she kicked the chair that Nan Yuan had been sitting in. "Change to another one. It's dirty."
San Liang hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Change to another chair." He was very perceptive.
Not long after, Big Sis sat down in Nan Yuan's seat, and her gaze swept across the crowd. "It looks like I'm the new director?
Does anyone object? "
Zi Jing pursed her lips and smiled.
Yang Ji and the others were speechless. The directors were all decided after a vote, and no candidate would come forward to ask about it. However, this Big Sis' aura was quite fierce.
Lu Yin smiled. "Of course, no one objects. Sis, from now on, you're a director."
Big Sis raised her brows and waved her hand. "Alright, leave this place to me from now on. You do what you need to do, I'll take care of it."
Lu Yin …
Big Sis's addition changed the style of the board. No one knew whether it was good or bad, and Lu Yin did not care. He left halfway through the meeting because Big Sis had brought with her more than eighty suggestions. Lu Yin's heart trembled when he heard them, as he had not expected Big Sis to be so well-prepared.
The other directors were stunned as well. Who had brought so many topics in one go?
Three days and three nights would not be enough.
Lu Yin was tacitly agreed to be on Big Sis's side, so he was chased out. When the door closed, the board was no longer the same as before.
Becoming an Emissary would not only increase one's power level, but it would also affect one's ability to lockbreak. Logically speaking, with an Emissary's ability to control astral sources, they should be able to break down and nullify star energy. However, if it were that simple, then every Emissary would be a Lockbreaker.
After Lu Yin left the board, he headed straight to the Lockbreaker Realm to find out more about the Emissary lockbreaking situation.
However, when he arrived, he discovered that not a single Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker was present, and President Xiu Ming was not there either. After asking around, he learned that these powerful Lockbreakers had left during the war between the Great Eastern Alliance and the Astral Beast Domain and had not returned since.
Lu Yin left the Lockbreaker Realm and wanted to go to the Arbiter Realm to see his senior brother. He hoped that the Arbiter was not in seclusion.
Before he could get far, the void in front of him distorted, and a figure walked out.
Lu Yin was surprised. "Elder Chan?"
"Do you have time?
Let's chat? "
Elder Chan looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "This junior would be more than happy to chat with Senior."
Elder Chan laughed and brought Lu Yin to the peak of Realm Mountain. From here, he could not see anything because it was too high up, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white.
