At this point, there was no point in saying anything. The only thing he could do was try to give Jenny a good ending. She hadn't done anything wrong, but it was her family that had made a mistake. For a woman, marrying the one she loved was the only thing that mattered.
Lu Yin thought of Ming Yan; what if she couldn't marry him one day because of her position?
His chest tightened at the thought, but he would not let that happen. Ming Yan had to belong to him, and no one could object to that.
He was in a bad mood, so he went to Bazeer's prison to find someone to vent his frustrations on.
After a day of treatment, Bazeer's injuries had healed, and he had regained consciousness.
When he saw Lu Yin enter, he glared at him. "Lu Yin, I regret not killing you back then."
Lu Yin casually shot out a beam of energy that pierced through Bazeer's shoulder. Fresh blood flowed down his shoulder and dyed his clothes red. "There's no medicine for regret in this world. Are you trying to force me to kill you?"
Bazeer sneered and endured the pain as he snarled, "Kill me?
Do you dare?
Your so-called evidence is all fake. Lord Puyu has already sent people to the Great Yu Empire to gather information, and your lies will soon be exposed. Do you dare kill me?
Lord Puyu won't let you off. "
Lu Yin rubbed his forehead. "You're really stupid." He then placed a hand on Bazeer's shoulder. "Tell me, if I add more force to your injuries yesterday, will it make it look like you died?"
Bazeer's eyes narrowed. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want. You're just a councilor in name, and everyone else listens to Lord Puyu. My injuries have already been reported. If you dare to do anything, you'll definitely be discovered."
Lu Yin nodded. "You're right. However, it shouldn't be a problem to aggravate your injuries. For example, I could completely destroy your meridians."
Bazeer's expression changed, and he glared at Lu Yin without saying a word.
Lu Yin looked at Bazeer for a while, then shook his head and laughed. "Actually, I'm quite grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been so motivated to cultivate. Look, this is the difference between innate gifts. I surpassed you in less than three years, but you've cultivated for decades and even have the innate gift of life. So what?
You still lost miserably. "
"What do you want?" Bazeer asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin looked at Bazeer. He didn't want to do anything to Bazeer, and he just wanted to get some revenge. After all, the grudge that Lu Yin had caused back then had not been light. However, just as Bazeer had said, Lu Yin could not hide the truth from the masses. Puyu was watching, and perhaps Puyu was hoping that Lu Yin would do something to Bazeer so that Puyu would report Lu Yin to the Ten Arbiters Council and kick Lu Yin out of the picture.
"Nothing much. You can stay here until the evidence is proven." Lu Yin turned to leave.
Bazeer heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Lu Yin. One day, he would kill him.
After leaving the prison, Lu Yin looked up at the sky. He didn't feel the thrill of revenge, as this sort of person no longer piqued his interest. It was no wonder why so many people didn't want to delay their revenge. Too much time had passed, and the hatred had already faded away.
"I thought that you were going to kill Bazeer," a cold voice said, causing Lu Yin's hair to stand on end. He abruptly turned around and stared at the person leaning against the wall. It was Puyu.
"Why are you here?" he asked warily.
Puyu looked at Lu Yin with a cold glint in his eyes. "Why did you cancel Darkstar Gorge's trial on Bushtree Planet?"
"Bushtree Planet is located in the Woori Weave, and it's under my jurisdiction. I don't need you to tell me what to do," Lu Yin replied coldly.
Puyu stared at Lu Yin. "You're testing my patience."
Lu Yin did not back down. "You're also testing the patience of the Ten Arbiters."
Puyu's expression changed, and he looked into the distance. Before he left, he said, "Don't walk too fast. It's easy to fall to your death."
"It's easy to be trampled to death if you walk too slowly," Lu Yin replied.
He definitely would not give up Bushtree Planet to Puyu. That planet was very important to him, and he had to find some time to visit it.
In the Innerverse, there was a place called Kun's Swamp. Those who entered Kun's Swamp would be trapped in a place that was known as the deepest prison in the entire universe.
Shui Chuanxiao had been imprisoned in Kun's Swamp and served a sentence of ten thousand years.
Outside Kun's Swamp, Nightking Zhenwu personally escorted Shui Chuanxiao in, his eyes filled with melancholy and indescribable sorrow. "A famous general of his generation, yet he was unable to expand the human race's territory. Instead, he was imprisoned in this Kun's Swamp that never sees the light of day. How sad."
A man walked out from behind Nightking Zhenwu and slowly bowed. "He asked for it. He betrayed humanity, and no one can save him."
Nightking Zhenwu looked at his gadget, and his gaze turned cold. He muttered to himself for a moment before looking at the man behind him. "You were born on Earth as well. Are you confident that you can deal with Lu Yin?"
The man was Liu Shaoge, and at this moment, he was following Nightking Zhenwu. "I'm confident."
Nightking Zhenwu's lips curled up. "You have quite a grudge with him. I hope that he won't play you to death."
Liu Shaoge looked up, and his eyes lit up. "I will definitely win."
Nightking Zhenwu nodded. "Prepare yourself. I will fuse my power with yours, allowing you to temporarily wield my strength. It should be enough to rival an expert at the bottom of the Top 100 Rankings. It should be enough to deal with Lu Yin."
"Yes," Liu Shaoge answered, and a strange light flashed through his eyes.
Over the next two days, Lu Yin strolled around San Dios and gained a better understanding of the Prairie Flame Continent.
This continent was vast, and it had given birth to many experts in the past. However, ever since the Outerverse Youth Council's headquarters had been established here, the entire continent had been enslaved. The experts who had resisted had all been slaughtered, and the remaining people could only revere San Dios as if they were a god.
This continent was like San Dios's gatekeeper.
In San Dios, there were no restrictions on the arched door, and anyone could request an audience. However, only the younger generation could enter through the arched door. This was also the reason why no experts from Firesmelt Planet had appeared at Yan Feng's wedding.
San Dios guaranteed the status of the younger generation, and there were no restrictions.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the Ten Arbiters Council was so popular in the universe. All of the youths were united, and they had fought for a certain status in the universe. This gave them a stable ladder to climb up.
Currently, there were only five members of the Outerverse Youth Council. East San Dios was represented by Puyu and Wendy Yushan.
Wendy Yushan was not suited to be in power. No matter how lazy Lu Yin was, he would still have gone through all the information that needed to be reviewed. However, Wendy Yushan had given almost all of the authority to Bazeer, which was equivalent to handing it over to Puyu. She was a stupid woman. That was Lu Yin's evaluation of her.
"Seventh Bro, you've been looking at this information for two days. Didn't you say that you didn't want to care about it?" the monkey asked.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. "I can't not care about it. Who knows what Puyu did to the four weaves?"
"You should find someone to take care of it," the monkey said.
Lu Yin agreed, as he was not suited for such matters. But who could he find to take care of it?
That person had to be absolutely trustworthy, and Lu Yin had no one he could use.
Suddenly, Lu Yin remembered the group of people who had entered the Shenwu Continent with him. Why hadn't he seen any of them?
Lu Yin immediately went to find one of his subordinates.
Barley appeared in front of Lu Yin, an Explorer with a power level of 23,000. He had been born in Grandtop Weave and had once been one of Wendy Yushan's subordinates.
"Were you looking for me, Representative Lu?" Barley asked respectfully.
Lu Yin grunted. "There should have been people who passed the Outerverse's trial, right? Why haven't I seen any of them?"
Barley replied, "They're just here in name. Most Innerverse disciples participate in the trial to prove themselves and gain the attention of the Ten Arbiters. Very few actually come to San Dios. Of course, there are some who do, but they've all been taken away by Councilor Puyu or gone to West San Dios."
"So you're saying that I don't have anyone here?" Lu Yin raised his brows.
Barley bitterly replied, "Yes. Councilor Wendy Yushan went missing, and the trialtakers who want to join San Dios won't choose this place."
Lu Yin felt helpless. Those who could pass the trial were not simple people, and almost all of them had powerful backgrounds. If he could deal with these people properly, they would be able to do a lot of things for him. Puyu had acted quite quickly.
"Right, you mentioned a name. Who's under our name?" Lu Yin asked as he stared at Barley.
Barley was bewildered. Generally speaking, those in name were not required to come to San Dios, as this was an unspoken rule. Even Puyu had not looked at the list, as no one could force those people. None of them had weak backgrounds. However, since Lu Yin wanted to take a look, Barley did not refuse and pulled out a list of names.
Lu Yin looked at the list, and his eyes lit up. This was interesting. He recognized Yue Xianzi, Zhuang Shaohua, and a few others. There was also someone called Hui Chuan from the Beast Tamers Flowzone's Divine Grade Hall, just like Egotistical Wang. There was also someone called Jenkin from the Blaze Realm, Tieshan Daynight, and so on. There were three or four people from the Daynight clan.
"They're all in name?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Barley hurriedly replied, "Yes, they're all in name. They're all people who passed the trial but didn't come."
Lu Yin muttered to himself. In name, in name. The powers behind these people were not to be trifled with. Even Puyu had not interfered with their affairs, so what could Lu Yin do?
"Is there anyone else?" Lu Yin asked.
Barley pulled out another list. "These are the trialtakers under Councilor Puyu's name."
Lu Yin took a look. "Who's this Wen Qian'er?"
"She's from the Erudite Flowzone's Wen family. Apparently, she's Arbiter Wen's cousin," Barley replied.
Lu Yin was shocked, and he continued reading. Yan Hua was from the Sword Sect, Lu Jonah was from the Beast Tamers Flowzone's First Class Hall, and Ah Fan. Hmm?
They were all students from the Northline Flowzone's Shangwu Academy. After a while, Lu Yin looked away, as he realized that these people in name were the ones with true value.
The Ten Arbiters Council was able to run amok in the universe not only because of the Ten Arbiters' terrifying power, but also because of the support of these youths with powerful backgrounds. Moving against the Ten Arbiters Council was the same as moving against the interests of countless people, and the powers behind these youths would not just stand by and watch.
Lu Yin increasingly felt that the Ten Arbiters Council was another platform for the power struggle of the universe. Here, one could gain much more than one could imagine.
These people in name were all in name so that they could fight for power within the Ten Arbiters Council in the future. They were quite far-sighted, and this showed just how important the Council was.
