There were times when Zhanlong Daynight admired this woman. She was bold, stubborn, and unwilling to admit defeat. She was despicable and jealous, but she also worked hard to improve herself. She was a woman who was full of contradictions, and she had caused him to be imprisoned in the mausoleum. Logically speaking, he should hate her, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to do so. Instead, he felt a little sad for her. Everything she had done was to be worthy of her brother, Arbiter Zhenwu.
Arbiter Zhenwu was the pride of the entire Daynight clan, and he was the greatest genius in the history of the clan. Even someone as crazy as Zhanlong Daynight had to admit that Zhenwu was a genius that could not be surpassed. With such a brother, Nightqueen Yanqing's life was very tiring.
Enduring the countless gazes, the cultivators gradually retreated.
Nightqueen Yanqing stood in place and stared into the distance. She coldly ordered, "Start mining immediately."
The Daynight clan members hurriedly complied.
Half a day later, there were no more cultivators from the other powers around Pyrolyte Lake, and no more spacecraft descended from the sky.
However, Zhanlong Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing did not relax. If they wanted to completely occupy Pyrolyte Lake, they still had to deal with Ling Que.
The other powers did not dare to compete with the Daynight clan, but the Wen family was different. They were originally the ruling family of the Erudite Flowzone, and their strength was not any weaker than the Daynight clan's. They had also invited Ling Que to help them, so they could not deal with him.
Nightqueen Yanqing did not have any confidence in Ling Que. Even if the Daynight clan joined forces with the Second Grade Hall's experts, they would not be able to deal with him. Now, it all depended on how they negotiated with Ling Que. Hopefully, he would not come.
Lu Yin took some time to capture a Daynight clan member and interrogate him about Zhuo Daynight's whereabouts. He learned that Zhuo Daynight had been abandoned and that her fate was unknown, but she should still be around Pyrolyte Mountain. Lu Yin guessed that she might be hiding underground, and that she was very close to Pyrolyte Mountain. He should have gotten closer, but it was a pity.
He did not have time to think too much about it, so he brought Hai Qiqi back to Pyrolyte Mountain.
Hai Qiqi was not happy, as she had already been to Pyrolyte Mountain. She wanted to go somewhere else to play, but she could not do anything about Lu Yin's tyranny. She could only attack him with her venomous tongue, and Lu Yin pretended not to hear her.
About half a day after the two left Pyrolyte Lake, they suddenly landed. Up ahead, a figure rushed towards them at high speed. It was Ling Que. When he saw Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi, he didn't pay them any attention. However, he did praise Hai Qiqi's appearance, and he raised an eyebrow and flashed a charming smile.
Hai Qiqi suddenly exclaimed, "Narcissist!"
In the sky, Ling Que's figure paused as he stared blankly at Hai Qiqi before descending.
Lu Yin was speechless; he'd gotten himself into trouble again.
"Miss, what did you just say?" Ling Que asked.
Hai Qiqi said, "Narcissist."
"Who?"
"It's whoever answers."
Ling Que pursed his lips, and his expression did not look too good. Ever since it had been revealed that he had spent money to hire the support team back in the Starfall Sea, there had been quite a few people talking about him behind his back. However, Hai Qiqi was the first person who had dared to call him a narcissist to his face. "Miss, you should know your limits. Be careful of what you say."
"Just like what you told Mu Rong?" Hai Qiqi asked innocently.
Ling Que choked and rolled his eyes. He looked at Lu Yin. "Teach her well. I, Ling Que, don't hit women, but I won't go easy on you."
Hai Qiqi was just about to speak when Lu Yin covered her mouth. "Got it. Sorry, this woman doesn't think before she speaks. She mistook me for someone else. Don't mind her, don't mind her."
Ling Que glanced at Hai Qiqi again and felt that it was a pity. She was quite a beautiful woman. With that in mind, he soared into the sky and left.
Only after Ling Que was far away did Lu Yin release his hand. Hai Qiqi gasped for breath and glared at Lu Yin. "Hey, are you trying to suffocate me?"
"Are you trying to anger me to death?" Lu Yin retorted.
Hai Qiqi was furious. "I was just speaking the truth. Didn't you see that he was deliberately teasing me?"
"But you shouldn't have said such nasty things. I don't want to reveal my identity. What if he attacks me?
Everyone will know who I am. "
"I don't care. It's wrong of him to tease me, and he even dared to teach me a lesson. Help me beat him up."
"No, you can't reveal your identity."
"Lu Yin, I'm breaking up with you, you coward."
Lu Yin was speechless. He grabbed Hai Qiqi and left. Hai Qiqi was furious and shouted loudly, but Lu Yin used his star energy to block out her voice.
They were about to reach Pyrolyte Mountain, but Hai Qiqi was still unwilling to give up. Lu Yin said, "Help me find that person, and I'll let you have your fun."
Hai Qiqi could not resist the temptation and agreed.
Lu Yin warned her, "Mu Rong is at Pyrolyte Mountain. Your domain is child's play to him. Be careful and don't get too close. Search slowly, especially underground."
"Got it." Hai Qiqi grew impatient and carefully released her domain. She was not stupid, and she was not stupid enough to compete with Mu Rong in terms of domain.
Lu Yin hoped that he would be able to find Zhuo Daynight this time. Otherwise, he really did not know where to start. He just hoped that she was not dead!
In outer space, Granny Chan, Lily Anne, and the other higher-ups of Northline Flowzone looked towards the vicinity of Pyrolyte Mountain. They looked at Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi, but they did not know what they were doing. Only Lily Anne knew that Lu Yin had mentioned that he had come to Planet Pyrolyte to save someone. Could that person be hiding near Pyrolyte Mountain?
Soon, everyone in Northline Flowzone shifted their gazes away from Lu Yin and towards Pyrolyte Lake. Ling Que should have arrived, and a great battle was about to begin.
However, after a while, someone said with uncertainty, "Ling Que is running in the opposite direction."
Lily Anne blinked. It really did seem like he was running in the opposite direction.
"He couldn't have gotten lost, right?" someone asked strangely.
"It's possible. Pyrolyte Lake is too far away from his current location, and there are scattered pyrolyte ores all around. It's impossible to pinpoint his exact location."
"The Wen family is rushing towards Pyrolyte Lake. If Ling Que isn't there, then the Wen family will be in trouble. The Daynight clan will cripple the Wen family first. Then, even if Ling Que arrives, the Wen family won't have anyone left."
…
In outer space, the various great powers realized that Ling Que had run in the opposite direction. The Wen family was the most anxious, as Wen Qian'er and the others were already very close to Pyrolyte Lake.
Wen Qichen, an elder of the Wen family, widened his eyes as he stared at Ling Que on the screen. He could not hold back any longer, so he tore through the void and appeared outside of Planet Pyrolyte. He wanted to shout for Ling Que, but the moment he appeared, Nightqueen Qiuyu appeared and looked at him smugly. "You're not allowed to attack the juniors who leave Planet Pyrolyte, and you're not allowed to interfere with the battles on Planet Pyrolyte. These are the rules. Wen Qichen, you're not thinking of violating them, are you?"
Wen Qichen's face twitched, and he sighed helplessly. "No, I'm just taking a walk."
"Alright, then I'll accompany you for a walk," Nightqueen Qiuyu said. She was worried that Wen Qichen would tell Ling Que.
Generally speaking, a powerhouse at the Cruiser realm or above would be able to spread their words throughout the entire planet. In order to prevent the pyrolyte on Planet Pyrolyte from exploding due to the shockwaves generated by a powerhouse's words, the various great powers had long since established a set of rules. One of the rules was that no one was allowed to speak about the situation on Planet Pyrolyte outside of outer space.
Wen Qichen glanced at Nightqueen Qiuyu and then returned to the Wen family's spacecraft. He helplessly stared at the screen, but Ling Que had already run in the opposite direction and was not coming back.
He wanted to send someone to Planet Pyrolyte to inform Ling Que, but there was not enough time. Furthermore, he did not know where Ling Que had run off to, and they had not agreed on a rendezvous point. Even if he sent someone, they might not be able to find Ling Que on the vast Planet Pyrolyte. No matter how many people he sent, it would be pointless.
Besides, they were fighting for time. They had to get Ling Que back before Wen Qian'er and the others reached Pyrolyte Lake. With Ling Que's extreme speed, he might be able to catch up.
Mira also stood in front of the screen with a helpless expression. Ling Que was too unreliable, and it would be great if Lu Yin could help.
Suddenly, she thought of an idea, and she told the Wen family about it.
Not long after, spacecraft after spacecraft flew towards Planet Pyrolyte and landed at Pyrolyte Lake.
Since they were not allowed to speak, the Wen family used a spacecraft to do so, and they directly indicated where they would land. Not only that, but the spacecraft also formed words at the intersection between the sky and outer space: "Lake Opposite."
With the strength of a Limiteer, they could see outer space. Thus, almost half of Planet Pyrolyte could see the words formed by the spacecraft. Many people stared at them blankly. What did this mean?
Nightqueen Qiuyu stared at the scene in a daze, and she became flustered and exasperated. "Wen Qichen, you cheated!"
Wen Qichen proudly walked out. "Nightqueen Qiuyu, don't spout nonsense. When did I cheat? I just sent people to Planet Pyrolyte normally. Why? Are the rules restricting the number of people who can enter Planet Pyrolyte?"
Nightqueen Qiuyue was furious, but the Wen family had not violated any rules, so there was nothing she could do.
The various powers were watching the Wen family's performance, but Ling Que did not see it. He believed that he was a man who kept his promises and was a man of integrity. Since he had promised the Wen family that he would occupy the pyrolyte mine, he would work hard. Right now, he only wanted to rush to Pyrolyte Lake and help the Wen family occupy it. Thus, he kept running and did not see the words formed by the spacecraft in the sky.
Wen Qichen grew anxious. "One more time."
Mira spoke up. "There's no time. Senior, I suggest that we use the spacecraft to warn Qian 'er and the others so that they don't act rashly. They can't be discovered by the Daynight clan."
Wen Qichen immediately ordered the spacecraft to move out again.
Very quickly, spacecraft after spacecraft flew towards Planet Pyrolyte. Nightqueen Qiuyu was furious, and she wanted nothing more than to destroy these spacecraft.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Lake?
Opposite?
What did that mean?
That direction was Pyrolyte Lake. Opposite? Did someone run in the opposite direction?
Could it be Ling Que? That would be interesting.
Hai Qiqi also looked at the sky. "How interesting. Hey, do you think there will be more words formed by the spacecraft below?"
Lu Yin shook his head, indicating that he did not know. Everything was a little strange.
"Hurry up and search. Be careful, and don't let Mu Rong discover you," Lu Yin urged.
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes and continued to use her domain to cover the ground as she searched for traces of Zhuo Daynight.
Not long after, another batch of spacecraft appeared in the sky. This time, they formed the same three words: "Wen — Don't Move."
On Planet Pyrolyte, many Limiteers stared blankly at the sky.
Wen Qian 'er and the others saw this and immediately stopped. At this point, they were less than three hours away from Pyrolyte Lake.
Suddenly, another batch of spacecraft appeared in the sky and formed the words: "Wen — Do Move."
Wen Qian 'er was stunned. What was the meaning of this?
Wen Qichen was furious. "Nightqueen Qiuyu is despicable! Continue launching the spacecraft!"
Following that, a very exciting scene played out in the sky. "Wen — Don't Move. Lake, opposite." "Wen — Do Move." "Wen — Don't Move." "Wen — Move." "Wen — Retreat." "Bai — Ye — Chase."
Countless people watched in a daze, as if they were watching a show.
