Starsibyl had also watched the battle, and Lu Yin's answer kept appearing in her mind. She did not know what his answer was, but she felt that she needed to return to her sect. Lu Yin, Mu Rong, and the others represented a certain stage of the younger generation. Once the Ten Arbiters left the younger generation, the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings would be about done, and Lu Yin's generation would take their place. Lu Yin was clearly at the top of this stage, and his answer was very important.
Hai Qiqi held back for a few days, but she finally came to find Lu Yin. "Hey, what's the use of that farmer boy's song?"
This was what Hai Qiqi was most curious about.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked at her. "Controlling people."
"If it's that powerful, then why weren't you controlled?" Hai Qiqi's eyes widened as she blinked.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Because I'm powerful."
Hai Qiqi fell into deep thought and then looked at Lu Yin. After a while, she asked, "Do you think that cultivators are more prone to domestic violence?"
Lu Yin was speechless.
The monkey sighed. "Seventh Bro, I suddenly feel that Ming Yan is more suitable for you. You're just trying to ride her coattails, so there's no need to sacrifice yourself. Let's find someone else. With your looks, there's bound to be someone blind who'll fall for you."
At that moment, Lu Yin's gadget beeped, and he tapped it open. Lily Anne was on the screen.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu. You've truly become the strongest Limiteer," Lily Anne said with a smile.
Lu Yin humbly replied.
Hai Qiqi leaned over. "Who's that?"
"It's none of your business," Lu Yin snapped.
Hai Qiqi snorted. "I'll tell Father that you have a mistress."
Lu Yin was stunned, and so was Lily Anne. She was clearly stunned.
Hai Qiqi giggled. "I'm just kidding. I've never planned on marrying you. It's even better that you have someone you like. I'll have Imperial Father grant you your wish." After saying that, she waved at Lily Anne and left happily.
Lily Anne only regained her senses after Hai Qiqi had left. This was the first time in her life that she had met someone like Hai Qiqi, and she clearly could not handle it. A single sentence from Hai Qiqi had caused the atmosphere to change.
"My apologies, Miss An 'er. That girl is a little, a little …" Lu Yin did not know what to say. In any case, Hai Qiqi's thoughts were jumpy and she did not walk the path.........
Lily Anne smiled. "That must be the Sea King's daughter."
Lu Yin nodded helplessly.
Lily Anne smiled. "She's a very straightforward girl. Brother Lu, you have to grab hold of her. Being able to marry the Sea King's daughter is the dream of countless people, and she's also so beautiful."
Lu Yin did not know where Lily Anne had seen Hai Qiqi from. Was she pretty?
This woman was definitely trying to flatter him. Although she had an intellectual beauty and didn't seem like someone who knew how to flatter others, Lu Yin had not forgotten what had happened during their trip to the Northline Flowzone. This woman had always been good at flattering others without even realizing it. This time, she was definitely trying to flatter the Sea King.
"Miss An 'er, why are you looking for me?" Lu Yin asked.
Lily Anne's expression turned serious. "Brother Lu, do you know what happened in Frostwave Weave?"
"Frostwave Weave?
What is it? "
Lily Anne frowned. "You don't know?
The Beast Tamers Flowzone's Second Grade Hall has declared war on Frostwave Weave, and their target is the Great Yu Empire. I've heard that the Great Yu Empire's Thirteen Imperial Squadrons have already sent several captains to the border, including the Hunter, the Blind Monk. "
Lu Yin's expression changed, as he really did not know. "How do you know, Miss An 'er?"
"It seems like Brother Lu really doesn't know. Alright, I'll tell you then. This matter is no longer a secret among many of the great clans in the universe." Lily Anne paused for a moment before continuing in a serious tone, "In the Astral Wilderness, someone discovered an extremely compressed substance called pyrolyte. It has immense destructive power, and just one gram can produce a destructive power level of over 10,000. It's considered a strategic resource, and the discovery of large quantities of this pyrolyte has the potential to change the structure of the universe. Thus, many powers in the universe have sent people to explore the Astral Wilderness.
"Currently, the location where most pyrolyte has been discovered is closest to Northcastle Weave. Northcastle Weave is one of the Outerverse's closest weaves to the Astral Wilderness, and it's also a neighboring weave to the north of Frostwave Weave. Brother Lu, do you understand now?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "So you're saying that the various great powers have sent people into Northcastle Weave, and that the Second Grade Hall wants to encroach on Frostwave Weave?"
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I know that the Second Grade Hall has launched an attack on Frostwave Weave. When I found out about this, I immediately contacted you."
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "Thank you for informing me, Miss An 'er. I understand."
Lily Anne knew that Lu Yin wanted to contact the Great Yu Empire, so she didn't say anything else and quickly ended the call.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately contacted Huo Qingshan. Huo Qingshan's image quickly appeared on the screen in front of him.
"Uncle Huo, do you have anything to tell me?" Lu Yin asked, suppressing his anger.
Huo Qingshan was astonished. "Something?
Nothing. "
"The Second Grade Hall is attacking Frostwave Weave. Is Uncle Huo trying to hide this from me?
Or am I no longer the Royal Regent of the Great Yu Empire? "Lu Yin asked sternly. He was truly furious, and he felt like he had been deceived.
Huo Qingshan asked, "Where did you hear such rumors, Royal Regent?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Rumors?"
Huo Qingshan nodded. "Some time ago, experts from the Second Grade Hall were hunting down survivors of the Greatsword Dynasty in Northcastle Weave. They fought with Captain Shalosh and were forced to retreat. Thus, the Second Grade Hall sent experts over to take revenge, but that's all. There's no such thing as attacking Frostwave Weave."
"What about the Blind Monk?
Why did he go to the border? "Lu Yin asked.
Huo Qingshan smiled. "He was worried that the Second Grade Hall's commander would personally take action. After all, a Hunter isn't someone that Captain Shalosh and the others can handle. Rest assured, Royal Regent. The Great Yu Empire isn't weak, and we've already reported this matter to the Fifth Princess, Her Highness Wendy Yushan. She told us not to disturb you."
Lu Yin sighed. It seemed that Huo Qingshan and the others weren't intentionally hiding this from him; they just didn't know the severity of the situation. Lu Yin had told Huo Qingshan and the others not to contact him unless it was something important, but Huo Qingshan had classified this matter as revenge and not war.
The Great Yu Empire definitely didn't know about pyrolyte and thought that the Second Grade Hall's appearance in Northcastle Weave was just an accident. The other great powers had sealed off this information, and the Greatsword Dynasty survivor probably didn't know about it either. Most of the Outerverse's powers had been kept in the dark, and only the Innerverse's great powers knew about it.
Fortunately, Lu Yin knew about it. Otherwise, if the Second Grade Hall coveted Frostwave Weave's geographical location and launched a surprise attack, the Great Yu Empire would be in grave danger.
"Uncle Huo, pass down my orders. The Great Yu Empire is to stop all foreign wars, and the fleet is to gather in the north. Captain Rocky Auna of the Ninth Imperial Squadron, Captain Liuying Zishan of the Thirteenth Imperial Squadron, as well as the newly joined space-exploring powerhouses, are to gather at the border between Frostwave Weave and Northcastle Weave. If you discover any enemies, try to intimidate them, and try not to engage them in battle.
Huo Qingshan was shocked, and when he saw Lu Yin's expression, he knew that something was amiss. "Royal Regent, what happened?"
Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment and then told Huo Qingshan about the pyrolyte incident. Huo Qingshan immediately understood where the problem lay. Frostwave Weave was south of Northcastle Weave, and it bordered the weave, so its geographical location was very important. The Second Grade Hall wanted to control Frostwave Weave, which meant that Northcastle Weave was finished. It wasn't as the survivor had said, that only the Greatsword Dynasty had been destroyed.
On the surface, the various great powers of Northcastle Weave still existed, but in reality, the rulers had all been replaced by the great powers of the Innerverse.
The Second Grade Hall and the First Grade Hall both belonged to the Divine Grade Hall, and the Divine Grade Hall represented the Beast Tamers Flowzone.
"I understand. Rest assured, Royal Regent," Huo Qingshan said solemnly.
Lu Yin nodded, but just as he was about to end the call, he suddenly thought of something. "Uncle Huo, you said that Captain Shalosh fought with the Second Grade Hall's experts to save a survivor from the Greatsword Dynasty. Then, where's that survivor?"
"He's on his way to the Capital Star," Huo Qingshan replied.
Lu Yin replied, "Protect that person well."
Huo Qingshan nodded.
Many great powers of the Innerverse had gathered in Northcastle Weave, and it was very lively there. Even the Lily family, a small family that wasn't part of the eight great flowzones, had gone there. Why couldn't Lu Yin participate?
Lu Yin didn't expect to be able to compete with those great powers, but it wouldn't be bad if he could get his hands on some. Just a little bit would allow him to use his die's Enhance to level up, and he might even be able to make a fortune. His eyes lit up as he thought about how he could earn money from the centipede's body.
However, for now, the most important thing was to resolve the crisis in Frostwave Weave.
He tried to contact Wendy Yushan, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach her. He also wanted to contact Mira, but he decided against it. The Ten Arbiters Council couldn't affect the competition between Northcastle Weave and the Astral Wilderness, and they couldn't protect Frostwave Weave either.
Lu Yin stood beneath the waterfall and pondered for a long time before slowly bowing towards the sky. "This junior requests an audience with the Sea King."
The Sea King's figure quickly appeared in front of him. "Have you figured out how to defeat Mu Rong without relying on your physical strength?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "This junior hasn't thought of anything."
"It's very simple. Steal his flute," the Sea King reprimanded.
Lu Yin was stunned. "Steal his flute?"
"His innate gift is the wooden flute, and the shepherd boy's song can only be played with a wooden flute. If you steal his flute, won't you be able to stop him from playing the song?
Since you were able to hit him once, you can hit him a second time. Although you'll have to pay a price, it'll be worth it compared to defeating him, "the Sea King explained.
Lu Yin blinked. "But since the wooden flute is his innate gift, won't it disappear if I steal it?"
"Idiot, steal it and destroy it. Using an innate gift too frequently will exhaust a person's body, and no one's innate gift can be used endlessly. Similarly, if you destroy the wooden flute, it'll hurt him as well. Techniques like the shepherd boy's song aren't that easy to use. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given Ling Que a chance to combine his three blades. After all, the shepherd boy's song might not be able to be used again once he's hit by all three blades," the Sea King explained.
Lu Yin recalled Mu Rong's battle and realized that the Sea King's words were true. Mu Rong wouldn't give Lu Yin a second chance to attack and had impatiently used the shepherd boy's song. Perhaps the requirements for the song were too high, and once Mu Rong's injuries reached a critical point, he wouldn't be able to use it. Destroying the wooden flute would indeed damage his innate gift.
Lu Yin looked at the Sea King in admiration. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
