The scope of the battle on Planet Pyrolyte grew wider and wider, and even Wendy Yushan, who should have been overseeing East San Dios, had appeared.
Her appearance had exceeded everyone's expectations. She had not allied herself with anyone, which meant that she did not have a star essence skin.
Zhanbing Daynight's expression turned grave as he watched her cautiously.
Above the planet, the various great powers all had complicated expressions. Without a star essence skin, even the strongest Explorer would self-destruct. This woman was too reckless.
The various great powers had sealed off all information regarding the battle on Planet Pyrolyte. Although some videos had been leaked, no one knew the specifics, including Wendy Yushan. This was the use of information; whoever had the most information would have the upper hand.
Wendy Yushan was powerful, but she did not know the specifics of the situation on Planet Pyrolyte.
She looked down at the ground. She had rushed out because of Lu Yin, the only person she had acknowledged as her family. She did not want him to die.
There was a thump as the ground cracked open, and Lu Yin leapt up into the sky.
Everyone was shocked. He's not dead?
Zhanbing Daynight's pupils shrank. Impossible! All of his attacks had landed on this person, so there was no way he was still alive. How could this be?
Had he blocked it?
Lu Yin did not have time to care about the others. He rushed to Wendy Yushan's side and took out a star essence skin. "Put it on."
This star essence skin belonged to Ze Lin, and Lu Yin was glad that he had not sold it. Otherwise, Ze Lin would have died without a doubt.
Wendy Yushan did not understand, but she did not hesitate and put it on.
Ze Lin's star essence skin was not enough to completely protect Wendy Yushan, but as long as she did not use too much power, it would not be a problem for the time being.
Lu Yin relaxed and glared at her. "How could you be so reckless?
Don't you know that Explorers cannot enter Planet Pyrolyte as they please?
The air on Planet Pyrolyte is filled with energy, and if it is inhaled, it will cause a self-destruct. "
Wendy Yushan looked into Lu Yin's eyes, and Lu Yin looked back at her, his eyes filled with anger.
Wendy Yushan calmly looked away. "Got it."
"Don't speak. Use your star energy to vibrate the air and make sounds," Lu Yin growled.
Wendy Yushan grunted and did not say anything else.
Everyone stared blankly. The eighteenth on the Top 100 Rankings was being lectured just like that?
Not to mention the others, even Lu Yin himself was stunned. He had been prepared for Wendy Yushan's cold treatment, but she hadn't. In fact, she seemed to be very obedient.
No one could understand what Wendy Yushan was thinking. Ever since Lu Yin had given her the Yu Secret Art, he had become her only family in the world, and he was also the only person she could vent her anger on. Back at East San Dios, when she had heard that Lu Yin had been threatened by an Enlighter, as well as the various events that had transpired on Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin's position in her heart had risen once again. This was because Lu Yin truly treated the Great Yu Empire as his home. This home was not only Lu Yin's, but also hers.
Wendy Yushan looked very calm after losing everyone from the Yushan family, but her sorrow was hidden too deeply. Lu Yin was her only hope now.
This was also why she had rushed to Planet Pyrolyte without any regard for her own safety. She didn't want to lose any more family members. The universe was vast, dark, and cold. She needed to preserve the last bit of warmth in her heart.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yin asked curiously.
Wendy Yushan looked at the distant Zhanbing Daynight. "I'm just passing by."
Lu Yin was speechless. This was the Astral Wilderness, so where was she supposed to go?
He looked at Wendy Yushan and saw the anxiety and worry in her eyes. She must have come because of him. Something stirred in Lu Yin's heart. Since he had started cultivating, how many people had risked their lives for him?
How many people had worried about him?
This was kinship.
Wendy Yushan took a step forward. "What should I do?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed coldly as he stared at Zhanbing Daynight. "Kill him."
Zhanbing Daynight's actions had caused Lu Yin to want to kill him. Since the other party wanted to kill him, Lu Yin would not show mercy. So what if the other party was from the Daynight clan? Lu Yin would not let someone who wanted to kill him go just because he was afraid of the Daynight clan.
Wendy Yushan unsheathed her sword, and Zhanbing Daynight's pupils shrank. He immediately charged into outer space. The difference between the fifty-fifth and eighteenth on the Top 100 Rankings was too great. He had no confidence that he could block Wendy Yushan's attack, even if she could not use her true strength due to her star essence skin.
With a whoosh, Wendy Yushan's sword was completely unsheathed, and a cold light instantly illuminated the heavens. This sword light covered an area of ten thousand kilometers, and no matter how fast one was, even if they escaped into the void, they would not be able to avoid it. This was Ten Thousand Swords as One. The Myriad Swords Peak's attack was very simple; it was just a single sword strike.
Zhanbing Daynight's body stopped in midair, and his eyes went blank. His weapon disappeared from the surface of his body, and his entire body fell to the ground, lifeless.
A single sword strike had killed Zhanbing Daynight. This was Wendy Yushan's strength. This was the strength of someone in the top twenty of the Top 100 Rankings.
Everyone was stunned, as Zhanbing Daynight was the first expert on the Top 100 Rankings to die. Even someone with such strength would not be safe on Planet Pyrolyte.
In outer space, Nightqueen Qiuyu was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could not threaten Wendy Yushan. The Frostwave Weave was protected by the Sea King's Dome, and Wendy Yushan was a member of the Great Yu Empire. Unless the Daynight clan declared war on the Sea King's Dome, the elders could not intervene, and the younger generation could only deal with this matter themselves. With Wendy Yushan's strength, how many people in the Daynight clan could be her match? Who could possibly kill her?
Wendy Yushan's appearance made her the indisputable strongest person on Planet Pyrolyte. There were very few Explorers in the top twenty of the Top 100 Rankings. Unless a Cruiser was sent to Planet Pyrolyte, Wendy Yushan would remain the strongest.
However, there was one thing that puzzled the various great powers about that battle: Lu Yin had blocked Zhanbing Daynight's attack without sustaining any injuries. This was very strange, but because Wendy Yushan's appearance had been too shocking, the various great powers did not have time to discuss it. However, that did not mean that they had forgotten about it.
Nightqueen Yanqing and the others immediately fled, not even bothering to collect Zhanbing Daynight's corpse.
Lu Yin saw them and thought about it. He did not pursue them, as there was no need to offend the Daynight clan too much unless he really joined the Sea King's Dome.
Lu Yin obtained Zhanbing Daynight's star essence skin, and he immediately had Wendy Yushan change into it.
Wendy Yushan did not refuse, and she returned Ze Lin's star essence skin to Lu Yin, but he did not want it. "Wear them all. These two aren't enough to completely protect you, so it's safer to wear another layer. Also, you can't use too much power in battle."
Wendy Yushan nodded.
"Actually, I think you should go back. It's too dangerous here," Lu Yin said. He was not worried about Wendy Yushan's strength, but rather that she would self-destruct.
"It's fine. I know what to do," Wendy Yushan replied.
Lu Yin did not force her, and he brought her back to the mountain range.
In outer space, Hai Dashao heaved a sigh of relief. They had made it in time, as Wendy Yushan's information had naturally been relayed to her by the Sea King's Dome. Otherwise, how could she have known that all of this had been part of Elder Tong's plan?
Elder Tong's plan had included all sorts of unexpected factors. If Lu Yin did not have the star essence skin, then Elder Ren would have forcefully pulled Wendy Yushan out of Planet Pyrolyte. To Elder Ren, all rules were dead, and he would not allow Wendy Yushan to die. Thus, the current situation was for the best.
"This girl's innate talent is amazing. She's a good match for you," Elder Ren praised as he looked at Wendy Yushan.
Hai Dashao also looked at Wendy Yushan. She was indeed beautiful, and she was also his type.
Elder Ren was still looking at Planet Pyrolyte when his expression suddenly changed, and his face sank. "Go and play with Avery."
Hai Dashao's eyes flashed. "He wants to enter Planet Pyrolyte?"
Elder Ren nodded. "Everything is within Elder Tong's expectations. This girl is no longer someone that just anyone can deal with. The Blaze Realm, the Ross Empire, and the Dire Barbarian Clan have decided to work together to forge a star essence skin for Avery."
Hai Dashao's lips curled up. "Got it." He then vanished.
On Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin discovered that Hai Qiqi had disappeared. He asked Ah Fan and the others, but they did not know where she had gone either.
It was no wonder why he had not seen her during the battle. She had run off somewhere to play. Lu Yin was not worried about her, as there were elders from the Sea King's Dome on Planet Pyrolyte. She herself was not weak, and she had many defensive techniques. Since the Sea King had solemnly vowed that Lu Yin did not need to protect her, then her ability to protect herself would not be any weaker than Lu Yin's.
Northgate Lie and the others looked at Wendy Yushan curiously. She was an absolute powerhouse in the top twenty of the Top 100 Rankings, and she was also very young. She was even a generation younger than the Ten Arbiters. Once the Ten Arbiters' generation left the younger generation, then Wendy Yushan would definitely be in the top ten.
The Northline Flowzone's people had never come into close contact with such a powerhouse before.
Lily Anne tried to flatter Wendy Yushan with her elegant and intellectual demeanor, but unfortunately, Wendy Yushan was unmoved.
Lu Yin chased the others away and quietly asked Wendy Yushan, "How's your training going?"
Wendy Yushan looked at him. "What about you?"
Lu Yin was helpless. "I can't train until I'm an Explorer."
Wendy Yushan nodded, but she did not reply.
"How's East San Dios?
Liu Shaoge didn't do anything, did he? "
"I don't know."
"How's Zhao Ran?
Is she still losing her memories? "
"I don't know."
"Has Puyu been bothering you?"
Wendy Yushan looked at Lu Yin seriously. "I don't know."
Lu Yin was speechless. "What do you know?"
Wendy Yushan did not reply.
"Seventh Bro, almost all of her subordinates have been roped in by Puyu. Don't you know?" the Ghost Monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin immediately blocked the monkey. He thought about it for a moment, and he actually wanted to ask who had sent Wendy Yushan to Myriad Swords Peak, but he did not know how to broach the subject.
"From now on, you'll still be in charge of the Great Yu Empire's affairs," Wendy Yushan suddenly said.
Lu Yin was about to speak when the heavens distorted, and a terrifying pressure descended like a gale that almost destroyed the atmosphere.
Wendy Yushan's expression turned solemn. "There's a battle in outer space."
Lu Yin could sense it as well, as neither side was weak. At the very least, he could not compare to them.
After a long while, the pressure finally disappeared.
"It's over," Lu Yin said.
Wendy Yushan frowned and stared at outer space. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
