In the Innerverse, Nightqueen Yanqing quickly found out about the battle in Frostwave Weave and the results. She was furious, as she had used Yan Feng to humiliate Lu Yin and even set up the wedding to kill him. She had wanted to destroy him, but she had never thought that she would actually help him instead. He had single-handedly defeated two elite Explorers working together. How had he achieved Thirty Stacks?
It had only been a short time since the Astral Combat Tournament, but he had already increased his Nine Stacks to Thirty Stacks. Just thinking about it made her shudder.
As a member of the Nightking clan and Nightking Zhenwu's sister, she knew what Thirty Stacks meant. Lu Yin had truly stepped into the top circle of the universe's younger generation, and he could be described as an unequaled Limiteer. He was on the same level as those freaks, and she wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but she was stopped by the elders.
As long as this person was not eliminated, she would not be able to rest easy.
The battle in Frostwave Weave was no small matter to the Outerverse, but it did not affect the Innerverse at all. Even the Ross Empire did not react.
Regardless of whether or not the Great Yu Empire had unified Frostwave Weave, it was still an ant that the Innerverse's various powers could destroy with a flip of their hand.
At this moment, Huo Qingshan and the others discovered something strange.
Yan Wujiu had absorbed all of Firesmelt Planet's flames to increase his strength, and everything on the planet should have been incinerated. However, there was one person who remained unscathed and was even sealed in ice by an extremely powerful chill. This person was Yan Yan, an ordinary Explorer on Firesmelt Planet. It was this person who had managed to survive Yan Wujiu's flames, which had a power level of over 150,000, and even release a chill.
"This, this, this is someone from the Royal Frost Continent!" Xueshan Auna exclaimed in shock as he stared at the ice covering Yan Yan's body. There was a very conspicuous symbol on the ice.
There were five interlocking snowflakes, and this symbol shocked Xueshan Auna.
Huo Qingshan was puzzled. "The Royal Frost Continent?"
Beside him, Wendy Yushan was also confused, and she looked at Xueshan Auna.
Xueshan Auna was shocked. "You probably don't know this, but the Royal Frost Continent is a very secretive power in the Blazing Mist Flowzone of the Innerverse. The entire continent is hidden in a different space, and very few people can go there. However, its strength is extremely terrifying, and it's no weaker than the Ross Empire, Blaze Realm, or the Sylvan Dragons."
Wendy Yushan frowned. "There's no way I wouldn't know about such a power."
Xueshan Auna replied, "Princess Wendy, it's normal that you don't know about it. This continent doesn't allow outsiders to enter, and once they do, they'll be killed without mercy. Back then, this old subject accidentally read about it in a book of records of experts. The records clearly state that the Royal Frost Continent has almighty experts, and there's more than one of them. It's the Holy Land of Ice, and anyone who cultivates on the Royal Frost Continent will have a five-ringed snowflake on their body after they achieve something. This is the unique symbol of the Royal Frost Continent."
As he spoke, Xueshan Auna raised his hand, and the wind from his palm danced, bringing with it cold Qi and snowflakes. "This old subject's family has passed down the Snow Wind Palm, so I've always wanted to find the entrance to the Royal Frost Continent to cultivate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it."
Wendy Yushan did not ask further, as she was not interested in the Royal Frost Continent.
She wasn't interested, but Lu Yin was. The Royal Frost Continent reminded him of the Shenwu Continent, which was comparable to the Blazing Mist Flowzone's top three powers. This continent's strength was even greater than the Shenwu Continent's.
Lu Yin searched the network for a bit, but he couldn't find any information about the Royal Frost Continent. After thinking about it, he used his Honor Points to search, and he finally found an introduction to the Royal Frost Continent. However, it was very vague, and it was the same as what Xueshan Auna had told him.
The Royal Frost Continent was hidden in a different space, and the Blaze Realm and other powers had once attacked it, but they had all failed. Unlike the Shenwu Continent's tragic fate, the Royal Frost Continent's numerous almighty powerhouses had taken action and forcefully repelled the Blaze Realm and the other powers. This had solidified the Blazing Mist Flowzone's hidden title as the fourth power. However, because they had not interacted with the outside world, they had been forgotten for thousands of years.
If even the Blaze Realm could not do anything to the Royal Frost Continent, then this continent was definitely not simple. Lu Yin thought about it and then ordered Xueshan Auna and the others to bring Yan Yan back to the Great Yu Empire.
Dealing with the aftermath of Firesmelt Planet was very complicated, but Lu Yin did not need to pay attention to it. At this moment, he was officially meeting Wendy Yushan through a screen. This was the first time that the two of them had officially met.
Lu Yin had never thought that his first meeting with Wendy Yushan would be under such circumstances.
When he had first arrived at the Great Yu Empire — no, before he had even reached the Great Yu Empire, someone had already brought up the issue of his marriage with Wendy Yushan. When he had arrived at the Great Yu Empire, he had learned about the Fifth Princess and her extraordinary innate talent and absolute power. He had also learned about her status, vision, vision, and heroism. At the same time, he had also learned that she was likely to be his fiancée.
It was rare for the Outerverse to give birth to such geniuses. At that time, he had heard that Wendy Yushan was unreachable, and even the Great Yu Empire could not accommodate her. Her status had even surpassed Undying Yushan's, and she was a true pinnacle figure.
One could only imagine the pressure of being engaged to such a person. It was precisely because of his engagement with Wendy Yushan that Lu Yin had tasted humiliation. It was not a pleasant feeling. Bazeer had been the initiator, but Wendy Yushan had also been involved. Her disregard and indifference had been the source of Lu Yin's humiliation.
Sometimes, disregard was the greatest form of harm, and Wendy Yushan was a perfect example of this saying. Even she herself did not know how much harm she had caused Lu Yin. Lu Yin did not want to admit it, but deep down, he had always wanted to overturn this disregard. He wanted to meet her face to face and personally ask her, "What right do you have to break the engagement?"
Now that they were face to face, Lu Yin could not bring himself to say anything as he looked at the cold girl in front of the screen.
The two were silent for a few minutes before Lu Yin finally spoke. "My condolences."
Wendy Yushan's expression was cold, but a trace of sorrow flashed through the depths of her eyes. The entire Yushan family had been wiped out, and not even their corpses had been left behind. How sorrowful was that? However, she did not show it. "It doesn't matter."
Lu Yin nodded. He had originally wanted to console her, but it seemed that there was no need for that. This woman had been able to reach this point because of her strong will. "You were too impulsive."
Wendy Yushan's eyes narrowed. "It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yin frowned. "I'm the Royal Regent of the Great Yu Empire. As long as you're still a citizen of the Great Yu Empire, it has something to do with me."
Wendy Yushan stared at Lu Yin, and after a while, she said indifferently, "You're pretty strong, but it won't be that easy to catch up to me."
Lu Yin was especially displeased when he saw her cold expression. "It won't be long."
Wendy Yushan's eyes flashed, and she looked at Lu Yin seriously. She could not refute his words; he had reached this point in less than three years, which was unimaginable to most people. His innate talent even surpassed her own, and she did not know how far he would go in three more years. The Top 100 Rankings?
Top 50?
Top 20?
Or top 10? She could not be sure.
"You're the Lockbreaker Seventh Bro?" Wendy Yushan changed the topic.
Lu Yin nodded. He did not feel awkward because he had tricked Wendy Yushan. After all, they stood on different sides.
"Your lockbreaking talent is very high," Wendy Yushan commented.
"Of course," Lu Yin replied.
"I'll be returning to East San Dios soon. Be careful of Puyu," Wendy Yushan said before disconnecting the call.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. This woman was not stupid; she was just a little weak. However, once she returned, he would become a subordinate councilor, the same as Barley's.
There was a ding, and Lu Yin looked at his gadget. His eyes flashed, and he looked back at Barley. "Take care of the matters on Firesmelt Planet."
"Yes, councilor Lu," Barley hurriedly replied.
Lu Yin left the courtyard and headed towards the Council's headquarters, which was the tallest tower in San Dios. That was where the Council's meetings took place, and where they held the highest authority. Mira was waiting for him there.
Puyu would definitely not let go of an excuse to use the Council's authority to interfere in the war. This was probably why Mira was looking for him so seriously. However, Lu Yin was not worried. Wen Sansi had come here to keep Puyu in check, but he could not stay in San Dios forever. The only person who could keep Puyu in check was Lu Yin, and Wen Sansi would not let anything happen to Lu Yin.
For the sake of unifying Frostwave Weave, Lu Yin was willing to take this risk.
Not long after, Lu Yin entered the Council's tower and looked up. This should be the highest point on the Prairie Flame Continent, and it represented the pinnacle of authority. The view from above should be quite nice.
Mira was at the top of the tower with her back to Lu Yin. She looked at the distant sky, where the clouds were still below San Dios. All she saw was a vast expanse of white and the seven satellites in the sky.
"Arbiter Wen has already ordered Puyu to investigate your use of the Council to interfere in Frostwave Weave's war. Do you have anything to say?" Mira asked.
Lu Yin was not used to her being like this. "Subordinate councilor Barley has been investigating Firesmelt Planet for a long time, and he discovered that they were manufacturing weapons that were banned by the Human Domain. Thus, he used the excuse of investigating the Neohuman Alliance to seal off three military planets."
Mira turned around and beamed at Lu Yin. "I'm not stupid, and neither is Arbiter Wen. Your reason is too old-fashioned."
Lu Yin did not respond.
"However, the universe's power is the truth, and no one really cares about reasons. You should enjoy the rights that you have," Mira said.
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Is this Arbiter Wen's intention?"
Mira smiled and walked to Lu Yin's side. "Arbiter Wen's intention is very simple. You've gone overboard, so you'll be stripped of your position as an acting councilor while Puyu investigates."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Thank you for not pursuing the matter."
Mira giggled. "You've been stripped of your position, but you're still a subordinate councilor of Wendy Yushan. She'll be back soon, so you need to maintain your position."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Mira. I've always maintained my position. After all, being a member of the Council of Astral Academy isn't bad."
Mira was stunned, as she had forgotten that Lu Yin had such a status. She had originally wanted to follow Arbiter Wen's instructions and have Lu Yin temporarily leave the circle of authority to give him a warning. However, his status as a member of the Council of Astral Academy meant that his status was higher than that of the other councilors, and he could even speak to Wendy Yushan as an equal. How could he leave the circle of authority?
Even without his status as an acting councilor, Lu Yin's value and his status as a member of the Council of Astral Academy were enough for people to listen to his orders.
