On Zenyu Star, Karthika stood in the imperial palace's court when Huo Qingshan appeared behind him. "The Royal Regent guarantees that he will not participate in your competition."
Karthika turned around, not interested in Huo Qingshan's words at all. This was within his expectations, as Lu Yin would not be able to escape from Karthika's control unless he had an even stronger background that was willing to help him. But now, Karthika was more interested in the person in front of him. "As an Outerverse cultivator, it's not easy to become a Hunter. I can recommend you to join the Second Grade Hall. Are you interested?"
Huo Qingshan politely declined. "Sorry, but this junior does not wish to leave his homeland."
Karthika disdainfully replied, "A mere Frostwave Weave is enough to trap you. It must be a coincidence that you were able to cultivate to the Hunter realm." He then took a step forward and disappeared. Actually, Karthika could leave at this point, as Zenyu Star was right here, and he could not escape. Lu Yin did not dare to go back on his word, as he could not afford to pay such a price. However, he wanted to stay and take a look at Lu Yin.
There had been an unparalleled powerhouse in their era who had been unrivaled within the same realm, and that person had left a deep impression on Karthika. Lu Yin had also been unrivaled within the same realm, and Karthika wanted to see if Lu Yin was similar to that person.
Also, the competition on Planet Pyrolyte would only become more and more intense. Since Karthika could retreat behind the scenes, he naturally did not want to take the lead. Instead, he would let Nightqueen Qiuyu take the lead. The Daynight clan was known for their tyranny, and the more enemies they had, the easier it would be for others to relax. Karthika felt the same way. For now, the Daynight clan might be the most suitable partner, but who knew what would happen in the future?
Zenyu Star's scenery was not bad.
In the Astral Wilderness, a giant warship was ablaze. It had not been destroyed, but rather burned on its own. This was a spacecraft from the Blaze Realm.
Inside the Blaze Realm's spacecraft, a figure was quietly looking down at Planet Pyrolyte. The intense heat around him had caused the void to distort. His entire body was like a sun, but he did not cause any harm to his surroundings. He was Huo Houye, an Enlighter from the Blaze Realm who had a power level of 240,000.
Not too far away from Huo Houye, the void distorted, and a strong but ugly middle-aged man walked out. He faced Huo Houye and said in a dull voice, "I am Lei Long from the Dire Barbarian Clan.
Huo Houye turned around and stared at the middle-aged man, especially his face. His eyes flickered. The Dire Barbarian Tribe's appearance was quite unique. How should he describe it? He couldn't be described as ugly, but rather ferocious. He was the complete opposite of the Souldream Tribe.
The Souldream Tribe had many beautiful women, but the Dire Barbarian Clan rarely had anyone with decent looks. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the Dire Barbarian Clan and the Souldream Tribe had been enemies for generations. The Dire Barbarian Clan wanted to use the Souldream Tribe's genes to modify their next generation's appearance, but the Souldream Tribe naturally hated the Dire Barbarian Clan, especially for their methods of doing things.
Therefore, it was very easy to identify members of the Dire Barbarian Clan. All they had to do was look at their appearance.
The Dire Barbarian Clan was already used to it, so Lei Long didn't mind Huo Houye paying attention to his appearance.
"Brother Lei, why have you come here?" Huo Houye asked.
Lei Long said, "Let's form an alliance."
Huo Houye pondered.
Lei Long continued, saying, "Right now, all of the great powers are forming alliances, so it's impossible to steal pyrolyte alone. From what I know, even the Second Grade Hall has formed an alliance with the Daynight clan. Brother Huo, you should know that the strongest power on Planet Pyrolyte is the Second Grade Hall."
Huo Houye looked at Lei Long. "We can form an alliance, but how do we split the pyrolyte ore?"
"Of course, we'll split it evenly."
Huo Houye laughed. "Brother Lei, you're thinking too simply. My Blaze Realm is the closest to this place, and we can dispatch experts at any time. Your Dire Barbarian Clan is far away, and you don't have any Limiteers who are worthy of being called out. Brother Lei, do you think that's possible?"
Lei Long frowned. "You can't say that. My Dire Barbarian Clan has quite a few Limiteers, and all the powers are trying to find a way for Explorers to enter Planet Pyrolyte. My Dire Barbarian Clan has Explorers who can rival the Top 100 Rankings."
Huo Houye didn't care. If the Dire Barbarian Clan had Explorers, then so did the Blaze Realm. Everyone had their own trump cards. However, there was one person in the Dire Barbarian Clan that he cared about: Avery. He was an absolute expert who was ranked fourth on the Top 100 Rankings. If Cruisers could enter Planet Pyrolyte as well, then this person would be very useful, and he could play a decisive role.
However, Huo Houye would not agree to splitting the pyrolyte with the Blaze Realm based on an unknown possibility, and he didn't immediately refuse. "How about this, Brother Lei. How about we split the pyrolyte after we obtain it?"
Lei Long's eyes narrowed. He thought about it and then agreed. Although the Blaze Realm was powerful, his Dire Barbarian Clan was not weak either. If the Blaze Realm dared to go back on their word, Lei Long would definitely make them regret it.
The prerequisite for an alliance was that their strength was similar, and the eight great flowzones would only ally with the powers of the eight great flowzones. As for smaller flowzones like Northline Flowzone, they could only ally with smaller flowzones to protect themselves.
Unfortunately, Northline Flowzone's luck was too bad. Northgate Gang, Ah Fan, and the others had encountered Jared from the Blaze Realm, and the battle had caused Northline Flowzone to suffer heavy losses. Dozens of people had died, and even the pyrolyte that they had mined had been stolen.
Although Planet Pyrolyte was large, everyone had a pyrolyte detector, so the chances of encountering Jared were very high. Northline Flowzone's luck could only be attributed to the fact that they had encountered experts from the eight great flowzones.
At present, less than a third of the experts from the eight great flowzones remained on Planet Pyrolyte, while the rest were mostly Limiteers from smaller flowzones. However, numbers did not determine everything, and the ones who could truly obtain pyrolyte were the experts from the eight great flowzones.
The crushing defeat of Northgate Gang and the others had caused Northline Flowzone to become anxious. Lily Anne had tried to contact Lu Yin several times, and Granny Chan had also been willing to raise the conditions. However, the Great Yu Empire would be at risk, and Lily Anne felt that no conditions would be able to move Lu Yin unless Granny Chan promised to personally oversee the Great Yu Empire and ensure its safety.
Unfortunately, this was impossible. Granny Chan had left, and the Lily family had lost their prestige. Compared to pyrolyte, Granny Chan was more important.
Another three days passed, and Lu Yin checked his itinerary. There were still ten days before he would reach Frostwave Weave.
On this day, a huge change occurred outside of Planet Pyrolyte as the Sword Sect's Limiteers arrived.
The various powers were shocked as they watched the personal spacecraft charge into Planet Pyrolyte's atmosphere. They had a premonition that the situation on Planet Pyrolyte was about to change.
The ones who were the most worried were the Second Grade Hall and the Daynight clan, as Pyrolyte Mountain was currently under their control. More than a hundred Limiteers were guarding the mountain, and most of them were from the Second Grade Hall while a small portion of them were from the Daynight clan. Their conspicuous heads of black and white hair were the best proof, and it also informed the various powers that the two sides had formed an alliance.
The moment the Sword Sect's spacecraft charged into Planet Pyrolyte, Nightqueen Qiuyu raised an eyebrow and stepped forward. She tore through the void and quickly appeared outside of the Sword Sect's warship. It was a sword-shaped spacecraft that was rather peculiar, but it contained a sharp edge that caused the void to become unstable.
"Liu Sanjian, come out!" Nightqueen Qiuyu shouted. Wherever she looked, the Sword Sect's disciples were overwhelmed with shock, and they did not dare to raise their heads. A curtain of rain suddenly appeared in outer space, creating a strange scene.
A middle-aged man walked out from the sword-shaped spacecraft with a resolute expression. He stood tall in outer space and faced Nightqueen Qiuyu. He was Liu Sanjian, and it was rumored that ever since he had started cultivating, he had only used three sword strikes against anyone he faced. If he won, he would win. If he lost, he would lose. He was a Hunter with a power level of 190,000.
"Senior Qiuyu, why are you looking for me?" Liu Sanjian looked at Nightqueen Qiuyu and asked calmly.
Nightqueen Qiuyu pointed at Planet Pyrolyte and coldly said, "Your Sword Sect's juniors entered Planet Pyrolyte from Pyrolyte Mountain. What is the meaning of this?
Are you not going to look for other places? Do you want to compete with my Daynight clan? "
Liu Sanjian indifferently replied, "Planet Pyrolyte is an ownerless planet, and so is Pyrolyte Mountain. It doesn't belong to your Daynight clan, so anyone can fight over it."
Nightqueen Qiuyu's gaze turned cold. "Planet Pyrolyte is huge, and Pyrolyte Mountain is just one of the many places where pyrolyte mines are concentrated. Go look for other places, and my Daynight clan guarantees that we will not interfere."
"I can't do that." Liu Sanjian's tone was indifferent. He did not care about Nightqueen Qiuyu at all, even if he was just a Hunter.
When he was younger, he had been one of the Sword Sect's top geniuses, and he did not fear anyone. His courage had not changed even now.
Nightqueen Qiuyu was so angry that she laughed. "Good, good, good. Even a junior dares to provoke me. It looks like the outside world has forgotten about me after not leaving Nightking Planet for so many years. Today, I'll make all of you remember."
Liu Sanjian's gaze turned cold, and he tightened his grip on his sword.
At that moment, the void between the two distorted, and a figure walked out with a sigh. "Qiuyu, you're still so tyrannical."
When she heard the voice, Nightqueen Qiuyu's body trembled, and she looked at the old man in front of her in shock. "Brother Vile- Brother Vileface?"
Liu Sanjian looked at the old man and bowed respectfully. "Elder Vileface."
The old man's name was Vileface, and he was an elder of the Sword Sect. He was also the person in charge of the pyrolyte mines that the Sword Sect had sent this time. He was an Enlighter with a power level of 270,000.
"Brother Vileface, I never thought that the Sword Sect would send you here," Nightqueen Qiuyu said with a complicated expression.
Vileface looked at Nightqueen Qiuyu and sighed. "It's been a thousand years since we last met. You and I are both old, and it's time for you to rein in your temper."
The rain in outer space grew heavier, and Nightqueen Qiuyu turned to look at Planet Pyrolyte. "This is my first mission outside in a thousand years, and I don't want to fail."
Vileface smiled bitterly. "It was because of your temper that he left. Can't you get over it?"
Nightqueen Qiuyu's eyes widened, and she stared at Vileface. "Temper?
What a joke. It's clearly the clan's rules, and he's afraid. That coward! I would rather abandon my clan to leave with him, but he ran away. Brother Vileface, is this my fault? "
Vileface sighed deeply. "It's been so long, but you still haven't gotten over it. Forget it, let's not talk about the past."
Nightqueen Qiuyu's emotions were unstable, and the rain in outer space was sometimes heavy and sometimes light.
There was a moment of silence.
Liu Sanjian left at the right time.
Vileface looked at Nightqueen Qiuyu. "It's been so many years. How have you been?"
Nightqueen Qiuyu's body trembled, and she turned around to leave. "Brother Vileface, friendship is one thing, but I won't show any mercy during the fight on Planet Pyrolyte." With that, she disappeared into outer space.
Vileface looked at the empty space and sighed once more. He had never thought that he would meet an old friend here, and this old friend was someone that he did not want to meet the most, but also someone that he wanted to meet the most.
Boom! Boom!
