The air was scorching hot, and when Lu Yin looked up, he saw two suns radiating high temperatures that baked the land.
Lu Yin released his domain, but he didn't see anyone. Instead, he saw a strange metallic lifeform that looked like a claw. It had no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, and if it didn't move, it looked like a mechanical component. This was a metallic lifeform from Shuta Planet.
Lu Yin was rather surprised, and he picked up the claw-like metallic lifeform and stabbed it at the monkey's head. Lu Yin exerted a bit of force, and the claw cracked before collapsing and falling to the ground. It trembled a few times before becoming motionless. It was probably dead.
"Even such lifeforms exist? The universe is too mysterious!" Lu Yin exclaimed.
The monkey was disdainful. "What's that? It's not even a lifeform. It's just being parasitized by some strange substance. Seventh Bro, you haven't seen a truly strange lifeform."
"Like a Tian Hou?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey stopped talking. Tian Hou was a lifeform that covered everything, and it was too mysterious. It was basically a black hole that had gained sentience, and even a Tian Hou existed. Lu Yin was no longer amazed by the universe's mysteries.
"By the way, I don't even know what species you are." Lu Yin suddenly asked.
The monkey was proud. "I'm from the Ghost Monkey Clan, a noble lifeform in the Astral Beast Domain."
"Is that so? But as far as I know, there's no Ghost Monkey Clan." Lu Yin obviously didn't believe the monkey. This was one of the reasons why he had never believed in the monkey's existence.
The monkey sighed. "Seventh Bro, the Astral Beast Domain is a hopeless situation for you humans. How could you possibly know how many races there are? It's just like how you've never been to this planet, so how could you possibly have seen this metallic lifeform?
Also, how could you possibly know about all the civilizations in the Human Domain? "
Lu Yin didn't refute the monkey's words. He turned on his gadget and found that the signal was distorted and intermittent. There were too many metals on this planet, so it was normal for the signal to be affected. However, this wasn't good for Lu Yin, as he was planning on using the polarium essence to attract Enlighters.
The only place that could normally connect to the universe's network was the mining city. He thought about it and flew into the distance. When he landed on the planet, he could faintly see a mining city in the east.
Ever since the universe had undergone a great change, only powerhouses at the level of a Hunter could tear through the void. It was almost impossible for anyone else to tear through the void to move about, and Lu Yin was no exception. Space was so stable that even he could not tear through it, so he could only fly.
Fortunately, his flying speed wasn't slow, and it didn't take long for him to see the mining city. Most importantly, he saw a huge machine standing on the ground like a monster baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
In the south of the mining city, a huge tornado was gradually forming. Miners from all directions were returning to the mining city.
Lu Yin snatched a miner's clothes and entered the mining town naturally. He received news that a super strong gale was coming, one that could even blow away cultivators. All of the miners and trialtakers had fled to the nearest mining town to take shelter.
The mining city had a protective shield. When the wind blew, the entire mining city shook, but no one was worried that the mining city would be destroyed. This kind of wind was common on Shuta Planet. Even if it was a few levels stronger, it would not be able to destroy the mining city.
The mining city was very messy, and the miners and trialtakers were separated from each other. The trialtakers looked down on the miners, and the miners did not dare enter the trialtakers' area. The two areas were like two separate cities. One was messy and dilapidated, while the other was clean and tidy with all sorts of service facilities.
This mining city belonged to the Nine Allied Nations, and the trialtakers here were the younger generation of the Darkmist Weave.
If Lu Yin had known that there would be so many trialtakers here, he would not have disguised himself as a miner. He looked at the flashing neon lights in the distance and decided not to go.
In the mining city, the network signal was much more stable.
There was no lack of bars in the mining city. The miners here did not have much entertainment, and they could only get drunk in the bars during their free time. When they woke up, they would go back to mining. Because of the high mortality rate, many miners either sent the money they earned back to their families or squandered it here. Therefore, there was no shortage of call girls in the bars, even though they all looked average.
Lu Yin sent away three groups of call girls and left the bar. Before he left, he purposely dropped a small piece of polarium essence.
After leaving the bar, he found a set of slightly better clothes and headed to the trialtakers' area.
The environment of the trialtakers' area was much better than that of the miners' area. The bar's environment and the quality of the call girls were completely different. Lu Yin dropped another piece of polarium essence and then headed to the next bar.
Not long after, a strong wind swept through the area outside the mining city, as if it was going to drown the entire city. Many fights broke out within the mining city over the polarium essence that Lu Yin had purposely dropped. There were polarium essences in both the miners' and trialtakers' areas, and the sudden appearance of more than ten pieces of polarium essence shocked the upper echelons of the mining city.
They began a secret search of the mine, wanting to know the origin of the polarium essence.
There was only one possibility for polarium essence to appear on this planet: someone had dug it out. The most likely possibility was that a miner had dug out a polarium essence mine.
A single polarium essence mine could produce several tons of polarium essence. What kind of concept was that?
It was enough to drive people crazy.
The entire mining city was sealed off, and no one was allowed to leave.
Lu Yin easily left the mining city and headed to another. He had already inquired about the location of the next mining city.
If polarium essence appeared in one mining city, the upper echelons might be able to conceal it, but if polarium essence appeared in several mining cities at the same time, then it would be impossible to hide it. Furthermore, the fact that polarium essence had appeared in several mining cities proved that the production of polarium essence was very high, and more than one person had obtained it. This would definitely alert the Nine Allied Nations and Darkstar Gorge.
Two days later, when Wendy Yushan arrived at Adonis Weave, the Nine Allied Nations received news that a polarium essence mine had appeared on Shuta Planet. The entire upper echelon of the Nine Allied Nations was in an uproar. The value of polarium essence was too high, and it was enough to raise the Nine Allied Nations' strength to a whole new level. Whether it was used to manufacture weapons or sell them, the profits would be considerable.
It wasn't just the Nine Allied Nations; Darkstar Gorge had also received the news. At the same time, Darkstar Gorge also received another piece of news: Wendy Yushan had appeared in Adonis Weave, but Lu Yin had not come. He was still in the Great Yu Empire.
This news puzzled Puyu, as Lu Yin should not have allowed Wendy Yushan to come out alone. However, according to the surveillance along the way, Wendy Yushan had indeed appeared alone.
Puyu was a cautious person, and even if Wendy Yushan had appeared alone, he was confident that he could deal with her. However, he still notified Darkstar Gorge's Enlighter, Elder Wu, and asked for his help.
However, Elder Wu had already received news that a polarium essence mine had appeared on Shuta Planet, and he had told Puyu to deal with Wendy Yushan on his own while he went to Darkmist Weave to seize the polarium essence mine.
Puyu put down his gadget. He had a nagging feeling that something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. Polarium essence was very important, and if a large amount of polarium essence was discovered, it would cause Elder Wu to appear. Back then, Elder Wu had almost appeared to personally suppress the Nine Allied Nations, but he had been apprehensive of the almighty Enlighter in Darkmist Weave and had not wanted to start a war.
But now, because of the polarium essence, Elder Wu could no longer sit still.
Forget it, as long as Lu Yin doesn't appear, I'm confident that I can deal with Wendy Yushan alone. Besides, there's still Scholar Newmoon, Puyu thought to himself.
On Shuta Planet, a mining town was sealed off, and large spacecraft appeared one after another.
When Lu Yin saw this scene, he knew that he had achieved his goal and had done everything he could. If he could not lure out the Enlighter from Darkstar Gorge who wanted to deal with him, then he would have no choice but to personally go to San Dios and risk his life.
Over the past two days, Lu Yin had thrown out more than a hundred tons of polarium essence, which had been spread across many mining towns on Shuta Planet. Most of it had been seized by the Nine Allied Nations and Darkstar Gorge.
The discovery of so much polarium essence in just two short days was shocking to both the Nine Allied Nations and Darkstar Gorge. They had searched Shuta Planet but could not find any traces of polarium essence being mined. This proved that this amount of polarium essence was only on the surface and that there was even more hidden underground.
This discovery caused Shuta Planet to go crazy. Regardless of whether it was the miners or the trialtakers, they were all locked up in the mining towns and inspected one by one. The conflict between the two sides grew more and more intense.
Darkstar Gorge's forces on Shuta Planet were not strong, but they had an Enlighter backing them.
The Nine Allied Nations were close to Shuta Planet, and although they could deploy a large number of troops in a short period of time, they did not have an Enlighter.
With so much polarium essence appearing, the Nine Allied Nations were certain that Darkstar Gorge's Enlighter, Elder Wu, would appear. They had no choice but to request the almighty Enlighter from Darkmist Weave to step in.
Not long after Wendy Yushan appeared in East San Dios, the almighty Enlighter from Darkmist Weave also arrived at Shuta Planet and appeared in the mining town that Lu Yin was in.
Others might not have been able to sense it, but Lu Yin could feel a power that caused his scalp to go numb. This was not the first time he had faced such a power.
Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy as he looked into the town. About ten kilometers away from him, there was a majestic number of rune lines that was similar to Lei Long's. Sure enough, the Enlighter had arrived. This mining town was under the control of the Nine Allied Nations, so this Enlighter should be from Darkmist Weave. That meant that the Enlighter from Darkstar Gorge should be arriving soon as well.
Above the planet, Elder Wu received another report from Shuta Planet. Dozens of tons of polarium essence had been seized from Darkstar Gorge's territory. What did this mean? The Nine Allied Nations had also seized dozens of tons of polarium essence, which meant that more than a hundred tons of polarium essence had already been mined. And this was just on the surface. Who knew how much more there was inside the mine? They had to capture the person who knew the location of the mine at all costs.
Throwing out a hundred tons of polarium essence would only lure them out. If they wanted to set up a trap, they would need to use other methods. Lu Yin looked at the majestic number of rune lines, and his gaze gradually turned cold. His advantage lay in the shadows.
These people had spent so much effort to lure him out, but in the end, it was still unknown who would be the hunter and who would be the prey.
In East San Dios, Wendy Yushan appeared in the tower where Puyu and Liu Shaoge were already waiting for her.
"Welcome back safely, Wendy." Puyu stood up and looked at Wendy Yushan with delight.
Liu Shaoge had a strange look in his eyes.
Wendy Yushan's expression was cold as she stared at Puyu. "Let's start the meeting."
Puyu smiled. "There's no rush. By the way, Wendy, did Lu Yin stay in the Great Yu Empire?"
Wendy Yushan calmly replied, "Yes."
"Why didn't he come with you?" Puyu asked curiously.
Wendy Yushan frowned. "He's not a councilor. He's just an acting councilor. Since I'm here, there's no need for him to come." She then looked at Puyu. "Why? Don't you hate him?
Do you want him to come? "
