This was enough, but it was only enough to cover the Great Yu Empire's military expenses. He had to think of a way to obtain more money from the fairies and increase his power.
Elsewhere, Shalosh was withdrawing money from a Mavis Bank one filament away from Zenyu Star with Gavin. The Mavis Bank on Zenyu Star had long since been taken away by many people.
The two had just walked out when Shalosh's expression changed, and he grabbed Gavin and shot into the sky. The next moment, a man in front of them raised his head and charged towards the Mavis Bank, blasting open the ground with a single palm.
Gavin's face paled as he looked down in shock. "This person?"
"Robbing a bank. He's a Hunter," Shalosh said.
Gavin's heart trembled when he heard that this person was a Hunter. There were less than ten people in the entire Frostwave Weave who were at this level, and there were only two or three who served the empire. He had never expected to meet someone who would rob a bank. This person must have come from the Innerverse and had been left behind in the Outerverse.
The moment the Hunter attacked, the entire planet shook. A powerhouse with a power level of over 100,000 was not something an ordinary planet could withstand.
The Great Yu Empire's army on the planet immediately moved, but they were stopped by Shalosh. This person was a Hunter, and even he was not confident that he could deal with him.
However, this Hunter was too stupid, and he had actually dared to rob a Mavis Bank.
Mavis Banks were spread throughout the Innerverse and Outerverse, and if they could be robbed so easily, they would have long since ceased to exist. Even though this was just a branch on an ordinary Outerverse planet, it was still not a place that could be casually robbed.
The ground beneath the Mavis Bank shattered, and the Hunter shot up into the sky in less than half a minute. His eyes were filled with excitement, and it was obvious that he had gained something. However, the moment he emerged from the ground, the Mavis Bank's large tree filled with universal coins moved. Its branches pierced through the void and wrapped around the Hunter.
The Hunter bellowed and took out a long blade to slash at the branches, but it was useless. The branches did not break, and they continued to wrap around the Hunter with increasing force.
The Hunter howled, "Spare me, I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
Within the bank, the manager looked on coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt. Countless people had tried to rob the Mavis Bank over the years, but how many had succeeded? This person had assumed that the Innerverse and Outerverse were separated, and that the Mavis Bank was nothing. However, the Bank had already considered such a situation.
There was a crack, and the Hunter was cut in half at the waist. Fresh blood splattered all over the ground and onto the universal currency, dying the ground red.
Outside the bank, many people watched this scene with horrified expressions. When they looked at the Mavis Bank again, their attitudes had completely changed. This bank had the ability to kill a Hunter.
Shalosh. Shalosh. Shalosh...... Shalosh.. Shalosh's face's.................. Shalosh.........
Shalosh's face turned solemn. That tree was rather terrifying, but what was even more frightening was that it did not display any power level. Even though it had killed a Hunter, there was still no power level indicator. This was strange, as this was the Mavis Bank's hidden trump card.
Even if they were isolated from the Outerverse, the Mavis Bank still had the ability to protect itself.
.....................................'s........................
....... it...
As expected of the powerful force in charge of the human economy.
But now that the Outerverse was isolated, could the Mavis Bank's reserves hold out?
Zenyu Star's Mavis Bank's reserves of universal currency and star crystals had almost all been used up, and the other planets were not far behind.
Lu Yin had Gavin talk to the Mavis Bank's manager on Zenyu Star to find out more about the bank. He then went to look for Hai Qiqi, as it had been a while since he last saw her.
The lively Hai Qiqi was a headache to deal with, but the current Hai Qiqi was heart-wrenching.
Lu Yin looked at her curled up body as she stared at the ocean. She had been like this all this time.
Lu Yin walked behind Hai Qiqi and said, "According to the information I received, the Outerverse's isolated weave is weakening, which means that the Astral River is also gradually weakening. One day, it will return to its original state."
Hai Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Yin expectantly. "Really?"
Lu Yin nodded.
"How long will that take?
How long before I can return to the Sea King's Dome? "Hai Qiqi asked anxiously, looking at Lu Yin with both apprehension and anticipation.
Lu Yin thought about it. "About ten years."
When she heard that, Hai Qiqi seemed to have lost her soul, and her face paled.
Lu Yin sighed. "Ten years is already pretty good. It's better than never being able to return."
Hai Qiqi nodded and sat down again. "Got it. Thank you."
Lu Yin patted her head and turned to leave, sighing to himself. He had lied to Hai Qiqi. The Outerverse's isolated weave was indeed weakening, but it was very, very slow. At this rate, it would be impossible for the Astral River to return to its original state, let alone ten years. Ten years was just to give Hai Qiqi some hope so that she could accept reality.
Hai Qiqi missed her home, but Lu Yin missed others as well. Big Sis, Uncle Reuben, his classmates from Astral-10, and even people like Mu Rong, Ling Que, Liu Shaoqiu, and Zhanlong Daynight would occasionally appear in his mind. After the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, they had all returned to the Innerverse, and it was likely that they would never meet again.
Lu Yin sometimes sighed with emotion. In the past, the various powers of the universe had coiled around him like pythons, making it difficult for him to breathe. Now that he was completely free, he missed that feeling. He missed the battle of wits with Nightking Yuanjing and the days when he competed with Limiteer geniuses.
Unfortunately, those days would never come again unless the Astral River was restored. By that time, everything would have changed.
The most unfortunate thing was that he had not been able to find out who his enemy was. A single piece of paper with the surname Lu and seventy-two lives would be difficult to settle.
To the east of Frostwave Weave was a weave called Grandtop Weave. Grandtop Weave had once been led by the Nine Stacks Sect, but three months ago, when the Dire Barbarian Clan had appeared in Grandtop Weave, the Nine Stacks Sect had been completely annihilated. Most of the sect's experts had been killed, and only a few had managed to escape.
The Nine Stacks Sect had been built on a giant meteorite that was even larger than Zenyu Star. The meteorite was not fixed in one place, and it was controlled by the Nine Stacks Sect. It drifted all over Grandtop Weave, which was one of the reasons why the Nine Stacks Sect was able to control Grandtop Weave.
Historically, the Nine Stacks Sect had coveted Frostwave Weave, and they had fought a war with the Great Yu Empire. However, they had been repelled, and both sides had been enemies.
There was no sunlight on the meteorite, and there was no ecology. The Nine Stacks Sect had hollowed out the interior of the meteorite and built a habitat there.
There were mountains, rivers, and cities on the meteorite's interior.
Lei Long sat cross-legged in a gloomy secret room. As an Enlighter, he did not interfere with the clan's internal affairs and had left everything to his subordinates. Ever since the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, he had only acted once, and that had been to eliminate the Nine Stacks Sect's strongest expert, who had been infinitely close to becoming an Enlighter.
Thousands of kilometers away from the Nine Stacks Sect's headquarters, a group of people had gathered. They were cultivators who had been lucky enough to escape, and there were two Hunters among them. Tianming was one of them.
"Tianming, is what you said true?
There's really someone who's willing to help our Nine Stacks Sect deal with Lei Long? "a Hunter asked as he stared at Tianming.
Tianming answered, "This is a favor left behind by the sect's ancestors. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the ancestors."
"That's right. Tianming has inherited the sect's Nine Stacks, and he's even selflessly imparted it to everyone. Everyone should be able to understand his sincerity," another Hunter spoke up. She was a woman with average looks, and she looked at Tianming with an unusual gaze.
The Hunter's eyes flickered, and he nodded. He then looked around at everyone. "Since that's the case, we'll wait for that Enlighter to appear and deal with Lei Long."
Tianming did not say anything else. He turned around and looked at the Nine Stacks Sect's headquarters with a complicated expression. After this day, the Nine Stacks Sect would no longer exist in the universe.
At this moment, the female Hunter walked over to Tianming's side and whispered, "As an elder of the sect, I don't usually get involved in matters between disciples, but I know about your situation."
Tianming's body trembled, and he looked at the woman in shock.
The woman replied, "The girl you once liked is my niece."
Tianming lowered his head and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart.
"If the sect had truly given its inheritance to you, then it wouldn't have sent you to the Great Yu Empire as a spy. It wouldn't have broken you up with my niece and made you hate the sect. You're not even a descendant of the sect." The woman's tone became stricter as she stared at Tianming.
Tianming retorted, "I inherited the sect's Nine Stacks."
"Nine Stacks is just a method to circulate one's strength, and it's not the only inheritance. From what I know, the Great Yu Empire's Royal Regent can use Thirty Stacks. I believe that it won't be difficult to impart Nine Stacks to you," the woman said softly.
Tianming's eyes flickered, but he could not quibble.
The woman glanced behind her and then approached Tianming. She whispered, "What's your goal?
Or let me rephrase my question: what is the Great Yu Empire's Royal Regent's goal? "
Tianming stared at her and slowly clenched his fists.
She sneered. "You want to attack me?"
Tianming's eyes trembled. He remembered that this woman looked young, but she was a Hunter. He was only a Limiteer, and the difference between them was too great.
"What do you want?" Tianming asked.
The woman looked in the direction of the Nine Stacks Sect. "The Nine Stacks Sect has already been destroyed, and I want to join the Great Yu Empire. Introduce me to Royal Regent Lu Yin."
Tianming had already guessed her intentions, or else she would have exposed him long ago. This woman was ambitious. "Alright."
The woman nodded in satisfaction. "What are you waiting for?"
"The Dire Barbarian Clan," Tianming replied.
The woman was shocked. "You want to use the Dire Barbarian Clan to eliminate us?"
Tianming nodded. "This is an order from His Highness."
The woman remained where she was, deep in thought. Although she had given up on the Nine Stacks Sect, these people were still her fellow disciples.
