Wendy Yushan glanced at the letter that Lu Yin had placed on her sword. She recognized the handwriting; it was from Undying Yushan.
"This is the letter that Uncle wanted me to give to you, along with this chip." Lu Yin took out the chip and handed it to her.
This chip contained one of the greatest treasures in the universe: a secret technique. It should be the same as the Yu Secret Art that Lu Yin had obtained. This was a secret technique, and as long as he was willing, he could sell it for more than enough money to establish a hundred Great Yu Empires. If he offered it to the Hall of Honor, he would receive at least ten Honor Points.
What did ten Honor Points mean?
It meant that if he died an unnatural death, everyone and everything related to his death would be thoroughly investigated by the Hall of Honor, and his death would not be in vain. This meant that he would be exempt from death by the entire Human Domain.
Shui Chuanxiao had betrayed the entire human race and caused half of Endless Weave to fall. Even such a crime could be exempt from death because of Honor Points, which showed how important ten Honor Points were.
Lu Yin's heart bled when he gave the chip to Wendy Yushan, but he would not keep it for himself. This was something that Undying Yushan had given to his daughter, and he would not be able to live with his conscience if he kept it.
"Damn, Seventh Bro, you're really giving it to her? I'm impressed, I'm impressed. That's a secret technique, a secret technique! It's enough to keep you safe for the rest of your life. Even if you kill Nightqueen Yanqing, as long as you hand over the secret technique, the Daynight clan won't make things difficult for you. You're giving it to her just like that?" the monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin frowned and blocked the monkey, as the monkey's shrieks were too unpleasant.
Wendy Yushan looked at the letter, and her gaze wavered. Her fingers trembled slightly.
This was the first time that Lu Yin had seen Wendy Yushan reveal such a pained and sorrowful expression. Perhaps this was how she had felt when she had attacked the Ross Empire.
After reading the letter, Wendy Yushan destroyed it and gripped the chip tightly. She looked up at Lu Yin with disbelief and moved eyes. "Why are you willing to give this to me?"
"This belongs to your family," Lu Yin said.
Wendy Yushan looked at the chip and then back at Lu Yin. "You know what this is, right?"
"Yes," Lu Yin said.
Wendy Yushan had a strange expression. "Do you know its value?"
He was already reluctant to part with her, but this woman kept bringing it up. "The value is that you can exchange it for a hundred geniuses who are prettier than you."
Wendy Yushan wasn't angered by his words, and she sized him up again. Her gaze was unprecedentedly gentle, and there was even a trace of indescribable warmth in it. It was as if she had been touched, but also as if she was a family member. "Thank you."
Lu Yin didn't mind. "Hurry up and cultivate. Don't let anyone steal it."
Wendy Yushan looked at him seriously, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. It was a beautiful smile, but it was fleeting and he didn't notice it. "Thank you for everything you've done for the Great Yu Empire and the Yushan family. I promise you that I'll give you time. As long as you can defeat the sword in my hand, I'll marry you." With that, Wendy Yushan turned and left.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Actually, he had only said this because he was unhappy with Wendy Yushan's attitude. He had no intention of marrying this woman; Ming Yan was still waiting for him to save her.
"Barley!" Lu Yin shouted.
Barley hurried over and was surprised to see that Lu Yin was safe and sound, "What are your orders, Representative Lu?"
"I need all the information on Shenwu Continent," Lu Yin said.
Barley grunted and glanced around the courtyard, but he didn't see Wendy Yushan anywhere. She had probably gone into seclusion to cultivate again, which was her usual behavior. That was why her subordinates weren't united and could easily be poached away by Puyu.
Not long after, all the information on Shenwu Continent was presented to Lu Yin, and he finally knew which powers had attacked Shenwu Continent from the very beginning.
"Mafioso Planet, Battle Street, Myriad Allied Nations …" Lu Yin looked through each of the names. There were more than ten powers in total, which was almost equivalent to the entire Darkmist Weave.
When Shenwu Continent had been exposed, it had caused a huge commotion. The Darkmist Weave had used all of its strength, but they had still been unable to suppress it. They had no choice but to ask for the help of powerhouses from the Innerverse, which had forced Shenwu Continent to use the five sealing planets to protect itself.
"Why is Mafioso Planet ranked first?" Lu Yin asked.
Barley was apprehensive. "Mafioso Planet is one of the places where the Outerverse's assassination organizations gather. They've produced many assassins, and they've even succeeded in assassinating almighty powerhouses. Although they were unable to recover from that setback, they're still a rather terrifying power compared to the Darkmist Weave."
Lu Yin understood. "What about Battle Street?"
"It's called a street, but it's actually a place that's similar to a continent formed by hundreds of planets. Battle Street doesn't have much else, but there's only one word for it: battle. Many important people in the Darkmist Weave have nothing better to do, so they've spent money to build this place specifically to watch bloody battles. As a result, there are many desperadoes, and many experts among them. Combined with its unique background, it's very influential in the Darkmist Weave, and it even attracts the attention of important people from the Innerverse," Barley explained.
Lu Yin frowned, as this Battle Street disgusted him. It was a place devoid of humanity.
"The Nine Allied Nations consists of nine filaments, and there are Hunters overseeing each of them. There's also the following …" Barley introduced them one by one, seemingly very familiar with them.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. These powers encompassed the entire Darkmist Weave, and their background even extended to the surrounding weaves and the Innerverse. It was impossible to remove all of them, and he could not do it. However, if he could not do it, then Shenwu Continent would always be coveted. A thousand years ago, he had invited an almighty powerhouse from the Innerverse, and recently, he had even invited Wen Sansi of the Ten Arbiters. Who knew who would be invited next?
Lu Yin was worried that Shenwu Continent would not be able to hold on.
"Representative Lu, is there something wrong with these powers?" Barley asked curiously.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "It's nothing. I just participated in Shenwu Continent's trial, so I wanted to understand the situation."
Barley nodded and sighed in admiration. "Representative Lu was first in the Outerverse's trial. This result was confirmed by Arbiter Wen, and it shocked the entire Outerverse."
Lu Yin laughed. Lu Yin had definitely been first, but many people did not care about the so-called trial. For example, the Sword Sect's Long Yun had yet to appear, and there was also the possibility that Wu Shang had come from the Neohuman Alliance. There were definitely more people hiding in the shadows, and their goal was not the trial, but rather the Shenwu Continent itself.
When he thought about these people, Lu Yin became even more anxious. He was not afraid that they would break through Shenwu Continent's defenses, but rather that the Reverent King, Ming Zhaoshu. This man was a man of great talent and vision, and he could not possibly place all of his hopes on himself. He would most likely join forces with other powers. Damn it! Lu Yin slapped his forehead. Why hadn't he thought of this earlier? He had actually thrown Zhanlong Daynight into the Reverent King's residence. Wasn't that giving Ming Zhaoshu an opportunity?!
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he kept thinking. Based on his understanding of Ming Zhaoshu, not only would he not harm Zhanlong Daynight, but he would also find a way to ally himself with the Daynight clan. After all, the Daynight clan was too powerful in the universe.
Lu Yin was inwardly annoyed. He had been so focused on hindering the Daynight clan that he had forgotten about this matter. He did not know how Shenwu Continent was doing, and whether the Daynight clan had allied with Ming Zhaoshu. If they did, then what would happen to Ming Yan?
Lu Yin was like a gambler who was about to lose all of his fortune. In his eyes, all men were rivals in love, including Zhanlong Daynight.
Would Zhanlong Daynight take a fancy to Ming Yan?
Would someone from the Daynight clan take a fancy to Ming Yan? Would Ming Zhaoshu use Ming Yan as a bargaining chip?
Lu Yin paced back and forth, feeling extremely irritated. If he had known earlier, he would have killed those Daynight clan members to save himself some trouble.
Lu Yin looked at the map of Darkmist Weave and scanned it back and forth as he tried to think of a solution.
Barley did not dare to speak, so he quietly waited.
"Eh?
Barley, why is this area circled? "Lu Yin asked as he pointed at the border of Darkmist Weave.
Barley replied, "That's the territory of the Nine Allied Nations, but it used to be the territory of the Woori Weave. The Woori Weave's powers often cause trouble and try to take it back. That area is rather chaotic."
"It's just a weave. Are the Woori Weave's powers unwilling to give it up?" Lu Yin was curious.
Barley smiled. "Representative Lu, this weave is rather large, and there's even a planet called Shuta Planet. It's a very unique planet that produces metallic lifeforms. A large portion of these lifeforms are composed of polarium, and it's suitable for trials as well as a good place to make money. Every once in a while, the Woori Weave's powers and the Nine Allied Nations will fight over Shuta Planet."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Polarium?
That's one of the main materials for universal armor? "
"Yes," Barley replied.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. Trials, polarium, and making money. An idea flashed through his mind, and his gaze landed on a corner of the Outerverse map. It was Darkstar Gorge.
Puyu, since I stole your Bushtree Planet, I'll return Shuta Planet to you. Lu Yin's eyes lit up.
Wendy Yushan went into seclusion as soon as she returned to San Dios. Lu Yin knew that she was in a hurry to cultivate the Yu Secret Art, but the others were used to it. Lu Yin was still the one to replace her.
Within San Dios, Puyu, Lu Yin, and Liu Shaoge sat down and discussed some trivial matters.
Lu Yin's expression was clearly not good, as his suggestions were either rejected by Puyu or Liu Shaoge, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Puyu smirked, as this was exactly what he wanted. With Liu Shaoge around, they would be able to suppress Lu Yin, and Puyu wouldn't even need to do anything. Liu Shaoge had Arbiter Zhenwu behind him, and Puyu didn't believe that the power behind Lu Yin would dare to make a move. It would be best if they did, as they could ask the Daynight clan to cut off all ties.
Bang!
Lu Yin slammed the table and glared at Liu Shaoge. "You're going against me, aren't you? You're opposing everything I say."
Liu Shaoge smiled leisurely. "Brother Lu, I'm just trying to find a better solution. For example, you suggested that the Youth Councils of the various large organizations could be promoted step by step until they reach the Outerverse Youth Council. It's a good idea, but it can't be implemented for the time being, so I can only oppose it."
Lu Yin's eyes spat fire, and he snorted but didn't say anything.
Puyu smiled and raised a hand to stop them. "That's enough. We're both working for the Ten Arbiters, so calm down. Let's call it a day."
Liu Shaoge beamed at Lu Yin and then turned to leave.
Just as Puyu was about to leave, Lu Yin suddenly called out to him. "Councilor Puyu, please wait."
Puyu looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "Councilor Lu, is there something you need?"
Lu Yin lowered his voice and said, "My suggestions won't be implemented immediately. I just want to submit them to the Ten Arbiters, and I hope that Councilor Puyu will agree." Only a proposal that was approved by more than half of the council could be submitted to the Ten Arbiters.
