Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. He had already confirmed that a large number of independent cultivators had been hired by certain organizations to attack the Great Yu Empire.
He could not be sure of the exact number of independent cultivators, but the ones here were just one of many.
If he opened the star chart, there might already be independent cultivators who had entered the Great Yu Empire.
When Lu Yin had found out that there were independent cultivators attacking the Great Yu Empire, he had already notified Huo Qingshan and told the Great Yu Empire to be on guard. However, there were simply too many of them, and they might not be able to defend themselves.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Lu Yin immediately contacted Huo Qingshan and told him a few things.
Huo Qingshan was shocked. "Got it."
After ending the call, Lu Yin looked at the dark sky. The universe was cruel sometimes, both to others and to oneself.
He had asked Huo Qingshan to send a group of people to pretend to be independent cultivators and attack Woori Weave, Grandtop Weave, and Lars Weave. These weaves were all close to Frostwave Weave, and he had revealed that the various organizations were preparing to clear a path from the Innerverse to the Astral Wilderness in order to find pyrolyte.
Not only had Lu Yin revealed the existence of pyrolyte, but he had also revealed that the Second Grade Hall had hired independent cultivators to attack the surrounding weaves, dragging them all down with him.
This way, the independent cultivators would be targeted by the surrounding weaves. Even if their target was only Frostwave Weave, it would be useless, as there were indeed independent cultivators attacking the surrounding weaves. There would be no way to defend themselves.
Only by muddying the waters would one be able to fish in troubled waters.
If someone wanted to hide in the shadows and have the Second Grade Hall fight to the death with the Great Yu Empire, then Lu Yin would drag everyone down with him, and not a single one of them would be able to escape. Those independent cultivators would not even be able to approach Frostwave Weave with the surrounding weaves targeting them.
Even if he messed up in the end and Frostwave Weave was targeted by everyone, Lu Yin still had a trump card: the Sea King's Dome. Even if the Sea King's Dome refused to admit it, he could still report Leon's Armada. Even the Daynight clan was afraid of Leon's Armada, and the various organizations would not go against them just for the sake of the Great Yu Empire.
The Pirate King's title not only represented his strength, but also his methods of doing things. He was a representative of the dark side.
Right now, Lu Yin needed to deal with the independent cultivators on this spacecraft. He did not need to know who had hired them, as the information might not be true, so there was no need for him to find out.
The two Cruisers were in a lounge on the top floor of the spacecraft, as only two Cruisers were allowed to enter.
Lu Yin put on his universal armor, which had been upgraded five times, and held the gun that he had bought at the auction house as he slowly made his way to the top floor.
Along the way, all the loose cultivators they encountered were easily dealt with. Loose cultivators were not shameful. Everyone had the qualifications to cultivate. However, to accept employment and start a war, these people were not pure loose cultivators. They were closer to mercenaries. It was definitely not the first time these people had done something like this. Otherwise, they would not have been able to assemble so quickly.
These wandering cultivators' hands were stained with blood, and Lu Yin would not show any mercy in dealing with them.
On the top floor of the spacecraft, in the captain's cabin, a dozen or so operators were staring at a screen in horror. On the screen, Lu Yin was pressing an Explorer against a wall. He exerted some force with his palm, and the vibrating force traveled through the Explorer's body. The Explorer's organs were pulverized, and even the metal wall behind him cracked.
"Quick, report this immediately. Enemies have entered." The next moment, the spaceship let out an ear-piercing alarm.
The spaceship had a clear hierarchy, and Lu Yin watched as the Explorer in front of him slowly lost his life. This person was the last Explorer on the spacecraft, and now that he had been dealt with, the only space-exploring powerhouses left on the spacecraft were the two Cruisers.
The ear-piercing alarm alarmed everyone. On the top floor, a Cruiser came to the captain's cabin and looked at the screen with a frown. "Universal armor. This person isn't an Explorer. How dare he!" The Cruiser then tore through the void and charged towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had only taken a few steps when the Cruiser appeared in front of him, his eyes filled with cold killing intent. "I don't know who you're trying to cause trouble for, but since you've appeared, you can die." The Cruiser then sent a palm towards Lu Yin. In his mind, even if Lu Yin could kill Explorers who were a Realmbreaker, he would not be able to resist a Cruiser. Those people were all famous freaks in the universe, and there was no need to make things difficult for them.
However, the Cruiser had forgotten that Lu Yin was from the Great Yu Empire.
The Cruiser's palm landed on the universal armor, but it was completely unscathed. The Cruiser was shocked, as he had never seen a universal armor that could withstand an attack with a power level of 50,000.
Universal armor was originally prepared for cultivators who had not yet reached the Explorer realm to survive in outer space. Many of them were used to explore hidden places, and the powerhouses were not willing to risk their lives. Thus, they would equip slaves and low-level cultivators with universal armor and allow them to take risks. Generally speaking, universal armor did not have much defensive power, and it could only ensure that the cultivator could survive in outer space.
However, Lu Yin's universal armor was said to have been fused with metals from the Cosmic Sea, and it was extremely sturdy. It could even withstand a Hunter's attack. Lu Yin had also used his die's Enhance to upgrade it five times, and he did not know how many attacks it could withstand. It would be strange if a Cruiser's attack with a power level of less than 100,000 could damage it.
With this set of universal armor, Lu Yin would even dare to wrestle with a Hunter.
Lu Yin raised his gun and aimed it at the Cruiser. "Poverty has limited your imagination." He then fired a shot, and a very ancient physical bullet struck the Cruiser's chest. In an instant, a terrifying force distorted the void and exploded on the Cruiser's body. The bullet pierced right through his body, and half of his body was pulverized.
Lu Yin stared at the scene in shock. Although he knew that this gun was capable of firing bullets with a power level of 80,000, he still found it hard to believe that it could instantly kill a Cruiser. Since when had Cruisers become so weak?
With the universal armor and the gun, Lu Yin almost dared to challenge any Cruiser on the Top 100 Rankings. All of this had been bought with money, and at that moment, he felt a heartfelt fear towards those wealthy organizations. Those organizations might also have methods like this, but it was different from cultivation. This was purely a method of killing.
The Mavis family was the wealthiest organization, and Lu Yin could not imagine just how many methods they had.
With a bang, one side of the spacecraft exploded, and the last Cruiser fled into outer space. When he saw this scene, he knew that he was not Lu Yin's match, so he immediately fled. But so what if he was a Cruiser? He was just a wandering cultivator, and the battle techniques that he cultivated were limited. When Lu Yin sensed that the Cruiser was trying to escape, he unsealed the Fatesand in his heart. His physical body exploded with power as he used Flash to its limit.
Lu Yin's body appeared in front of the fleeing Cruiser, and he stood in outer space as he coldly stared at the fleeing Cruiser.
With his current physical strength, Flash's speed was not something that an ordinary Cruiser could compare to.
"Who, who are you?" the Cruiser asked in a trembling voice.
Lu Yin coldly replied, "Haven't you already guessed it?"
The Cruiser's pupils shrank. "You're not even an Explorer, but you can easily kill a Cruiser. You're Lu Yin."
"You thought of me first. It seems like your target is the Great Yu Empire," Lu Yin said calmly.
The Cruiser pleaded, "I beg you, please let me go. I promise that I won't be hired."
"Fine. Tell me, who's the one who hired you?" Lu Yin asked.
The Cruiser answered without hesitation, "The Second Grade Hall. It's the Beast Tamers Flowzone's Second Grade Hall."
"Is that so? What's your mission?" Lu Yin continued.
"Attack the Great Yu Empire and destroy an entire planet. Let the Great Yu Empire and the Second Grade Hall start an all-out war," the Cruiser blurted out.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "That's all?"
"That's all," the Cruiser said confidently, but he continued to plead with Lu Yin. "Lu- Student Lu, I'm actually from the Outerverse as well. You can't imagine how difficult it is for people like us to enter the Innerverse to cultivate. We were forced to do so, so please let me go. I promise that if I hear of any wandering cultivator who wants to harm the Great Yu Empire in the future, I'll be the first to act."
Lu Yin sneered and sighed. "Although I knew that you wouldn't be honest, I still held onto some hope and asked. It looks like you really are dishonest. Then, die." He then raised his gun. The Cruiser's pupils shrank, and he suddenly charged in another direction. At the same time, a long blade appeared in his hand and he slashed behind him. Lu Yin's figure disappeared once more, and when he reappeared, he had already dealt countless slashes with his gun pressed against the Cruiser's back. Bang!
Half of the Cruiser's mangled body slowly disappeared before Lu Yin's eyes. Lu Yin put his gun away. He had used his gadget to contact the first Cruiser he had killed and learned that there was a mysterious employer behind them. This person hadn't said anything, and there was no point in pressing him further. This mysterious employer probably wouldn't reveal their identity, or else this person would have spilled the beans in a desperate situation.
Regardless of who this mysterious employer was, Lu Yin didn't care anymore. There were enemies everywhere in the universe.
When he returned to the spacecraft, he saw that more than a hundred wandering cultivators were terrified. Blood had already spilled from the top floor, and they had all discovered the Cruiser's corpse. They didn't know what kind of fate awaited them.
Lu Yin found Hai Qiqi. The girl's face was pale, and she didn't say a single word as she stared blankly at him.
He probed, "You've never seen someone kill someone before?"
Hai Qiqi pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. "No."
Lu Yin sighed. The Sea King had protected her too tightly, and he hadn't even allowed her to see something like this. Since the Sea King was willing to let her come with him, it meant that he wanted to show her the cruel side of the universe!
Lu Yin took out a collapsible spacecraft from his cosmic ring and boarded it with Hai Qiqi. They appeared in outer space and faced the spacecraft. "You'll get used to this scene sooner or later. I'll just treat it as helping the Sea King educate his daughter." Lu Yin then donned his universal armor and walked out of outer space. He arrived outside the spacecraft's mechanical cabin, raised a hand, and pressed down on the spacecraft. "Thirty Stacks, Fiftyfold Shockwave Palm."
Boom!
Soon after, the spacecraft exploded and disappeared from outer space. Not a single person had survived. Everyone present was a wandering cultivator, including the pilot. Their goal had been to start a war with the Great Yu Empire and cause great destruction. A war would not only bring about the deaths of soldiers, but also civilians. Lu Yin didn't know how many people had accepted the mysterious employer's orders to destroy planets, but he wouldn't take any risks.
