Puyu nodded. "I used to hate him, but now that the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, our council can no longer receive the Innerverse's support. Our influence in the Outerverse has been greatly reduced, especially since the Enlighters left behind in the Outerverse don't care about us at all. I hope that he can join the council. With his ability to kill Enlighters, he'll be a deterrent to the outside world."
Wendy Yushan's gaze was icy. "If he comes, the first thing he'll do is kill you."
Puyu was stunned, and his face sank.
Liu Shaoge immediately tried to smooth things over. "There's no such thing as an unresolvable grudge. Besides, Councilor Puyu and Brother Lu don't have any deep grudges. Right now, the most important thing is the council's authority and safety, right?
Councilor Puyu? "
Puyu's lips curled up. "That's right, Wendy. The council has given you a lot of support. If not for the council, you might not have been able to escape unscathed when you trespassed into the Ross Empire. White Knight has also treated you well, so I hope that you can take responsibility and protect the council at a critical moment."
Wendy Yushan calmly replied, "I don't need you to tell me that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come."
Puyu nodded, and his eyes flickered. He did not plan on immediately acting against Wendy Yushan, as her value lay in the Yu Secret Art. No one knew how the secret technique would be passed on to someone else, but as long as Lu Yin was not around, Wendy Yushan could be dealt with at any time. Right now, he was thinking about the Outerverse Youth Council's current situation, and he had not been lying. The Outerverse Youth Council's influence had plummeted, and the most direct manifestation of this was the fact that many people had withdrawn from the council.
Once the Outerverse Youth Council's influence was gone, Puyu would be nothing more than a very talented youth in Darkstar Gorge. He would still be killed by an Enlighter, and no one would have any qualms about that.
Puyu hoped that he could obtain the secret technique while also keeping Wendy Yushan. It would be best if he could use Wendy Yushan's secret technique to rope in Enlighters for the council. That would be perfect.
In the current Outerverse, all identities were fake, and they were useless. Only Enlighters could be considered as the greatest backers.
…
On Shuta Planet, a gale howled as the high temperatures distorted the air. The heat waves from the gale caused the ground to dry up even more.
Lu Yin slowly squatted down and looked ahead. There was a huge mine that had originally been filled with miners, but they had all been locked in the mine to the city. There was not a single person inside was a single person, and there was only an army standing guard outside the mine.
Lu Yin to enter the mine to leave....... "I hope that I can get one. Otherwise, it.." Lu Yin then left the mine to leave..... that to to that, Lu Yin...... and... to............
This area was under the control of Darkstar Gorge. About a day after the inspection of a nearby mining city and the removal of the lockdown, polarium essence was discovered within the mine.
The appearance of polarium essence shook Darkstar Gorge, and when a large amount of polarium essence was extracted, Darkstar Gorge's soldiers immediately sealed off the mine. However, it was still too late, as the Nine Allied Nations had already received the news, and that Enlighter had immediately appeared above the mine.
Lu, who was hiding underground, was secretly anxious. His target was not this guy, but Darkstar Gorge's Elder Wu. It would be better if this guy was alive, as he could restrain Elder Wu. He could only blame himself for burying too shallow. No, it was those miners who worked too hard. It was also Elder Wu's fault for appearing too late.
Hold on. Lu Yin suddenly felt that something was off. An Enlighter should have been able to travel from Darkstar Gorge to Shuta Planet. He filled his eyes with star energy and scanned the area in front of him. He saw a boundless number of rune lines at the bottom of the mine. Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Sure enough, Elder Wu had already arrived, but he had hidden himself.
That old man was truly sinister.
The Enlighter from Darkmist Weave casually waved his hand, and Darkstar Gorge's army was swept away, revealing a large amount of polarium essence within the mine. The Enlighter's entire body was enveloped in black mist as he descended and coldly ordered, "Continue digging."
The miners in the mine trembled, but they did not dare to disobey.
There were a total of a hundred tons of polarium essence. Lu Yin had not buried it too deeply, and he had not done it professionally. Many of the miners had noticed that something was amiss, but none of them dared to say anything in front of an Enlighter.
The Enlighter from Darkmist Weave stored the extracted polarium essence into his cosmic ring. His eyes occasionally scanned the sky, as if he was on guard against something.
Lu Yin praised Elder Wu's methods. If not for his mutated eyes, he would not have been able to discover that the old man had hidden himself. Even this Enlighter from Darkmist Weave would not have been able to discover him.
There was a thump as one of the miners dug up a box. Because he had used too much force, his tools flew out of his hands and smashed onto the ground. The miner looked down at the ground in confusion, and the other miners looked over as well.
The Enlighter from Darkmist Weave's eyes flashed. "Dig it out."
The miner picked up his tools and continued mining. Soon, the box was dug out. Hidden in the shadows, Elder Wu looked at the box. This thing had clearly been buried here by someone. What was worth burying in polarium essence?
They were not Lockbreakers, but if there had been a Lockbreaker present, they would have immediately recognized that the box was made of Spiritual Thread, which meant that there was a sourcebox stored inside. However, neither Elder Wu nor the Darkmist Weave's powerhouse had been able to tell.
At some point in time, the ground had been filled with traces of black fog, and even the underground area where Elder Wu was hiding had been covered by it.
Elder Wu's attention was attracted by the box, and the Enlighter from Darkmist Weave suddenly turned sharp as he stared in the direction where Elder Wu was hiding. "Black Stinger!" As soon as he spoke, the black fog on the ground transformed into an incomparably sharp ray of light that pierced into the void. Many of the miners were instantly killed, and Elder Wu was also pierced by the black light, which pierced through his thigh and abdomen.
"Topmist, despicable!" Elder Wu barked as he charged out of the ground to attack the Enlighter from Darkmist Weave.
Topmist sneered. "Old man, did you really think that I didn't notice that you were hiding?
You're still far from being able to assassinate people from Darkmist Weave. "The black fog then transformed into a ray of light that swept towards Elder Wu, causing the entire planet to tremble.
Elder Wu was not weak either, and he raised a hand to block the black light. The two Enlighters began to exchange blows in the mine.
Lu Yin was shocked, as these two were too sinister. Elder Wu had arrived a long time ago, but he had hidden himself to launch a sneak attack. That old man called Topmist was even more sinister. He had clearly noticed Elder Wu, but he had pretended not to notice him before launching a sneak attack. It was no wonder that these old fellows had been able to cultivate to the Enlighter realm.
Lu Yin suddenly rejoiced at the fact that he had Progenitor Wushang's hide. Otherwise, whether it was Karthika or Lei Long, he would not have been able to deal with them. These old fellows were too shrewd.
Unfortunately, no matter how shrewd he was, he could not avoid being schemed against. Lu Yin raised a hand and flicked his finger, causing a strong wind to sweep through the void and smash into the box. In an instant, Elder Wu and Topmist sensed Lu Yin's presence, and the box opened with a click.
The formless killing intent emanated from the sourcebox was so strong that even Lu Yin's universal armor was almost unable to withstand it. Lu Yin had upgraded his universal armor many times, and it was now capable of withstanding an Enlighter's attack. In other words, the killing intent emanating from this sourcebox was enough to deal with an Enlighter.
Neither Elder Wu nor Topmist had expected that someone would dare to scheme against them from the shadows. They were two Enlighters, and the person who had schemed against them was not even an Explorer.
Not even an Explorer?
Elder Wu's expression changed. Lu Yin, there was no one else besides him. He suddenly figured it out. Wendy Yushan had gone to San Dios by herself, and Lu Yin had not remained in the Great Yu Empire. Instead, he had hidden himself on Shuta Planet and used polarium essence to lure them away from Wendy Yushan.
But it was too late. The terrifying killing intent emanating from the sourcebox enveloped the entire mine and continued to spread.
Lu Yin stared fixedly at the sourcebox and watched as the rune lines rapidly spread out. This killing intent had indeed surpassed that of Enlighters like Karthika and Lei Long. Elder Wu and Topmist did not have enough rune lines, and they were trapped within the killing intent.
The two simultaneously stopped and stood in place, not daring to move. Although they could not see the killing intent with their experience, they could still sense it.
Topmist's expression turned ugly. "This is a sourcebox, and a Boundless Advanced sourcebox at that. It carries a formless killing intent that only a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker can deal with."
Elder Wu scanned the area. "Junior, come out. I know it's you."
Topmist barked, "Who is it?"
Elder Wu growled, "Frostwave Weave's Lu Yin."
"Lu Yin?" Topmist was stunned, but then he remembered. "That junior who killed Karthika and Lei Long?"
Elder Wu's expression turned ugly, and he suddenly took a step back as a hole appeared in the void where he had been standing.
"Why is Lu Yin on Shuta Planet?" Topmist asked as he stared at Elder Wu.
Elder Wu did not answer. Instead, he released his star energy to search for Lu Yin.
Topmist did not ask any more questions, as Elder Wu had immediately guessed who Lu Yin was, which meant that this matter was related to him. There was no point in asking any more questions, as they had already been trapped by the sourcebox's formless killing intent. However, this killing intent alone was not enough to kill them. Topmist was more worried about the method Lu Yin had used to kill Karthika and Lei Long.
"Lu Yin, your Frostwave Weave has no enmity with my Darkmist Weave, and I won't interfere in your grudge with this old man. Let me leave, and I promise that I won't tell anyone about what happened today," Topmist said loudly.
Elder Wu roared, "Topmist, you're also an Enlighter, so why are you treating a junior like this? The sourcebox's danger isn't enough to kill us, and we can safely retreat in ten minutes at most. This junior can't possibly deal with two Enlighters like us."
Topmist's eyes narrowed. "I've never interfered in other people's grudges. That was the case in the past, and it's the same now. Besides, you're my enemy, not my friend. I can't wait for you to die here."
Elder Wu was furious. These rats only knew how to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks. They were all Enlighters, yet they were still so cowardly.
Lu Yin coldly watched the two bicker, and he glanced at Elder Wu and Topmist's feet. Their positions had shifted quite a bit from before, and he sneered. These two old fellows were intentionally bickering to divert his attention. It would not be easy for them to retreat from the sourcebox's danger zone.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin took out another box and threw it between Elder Wu and Topmist. "Seniors, here's another gift for you."
When they saw another box appear, Elder Wu and Topmist's expressions immediately changed.
"Brother Lu, I have no enmity with you, so please don't kill innocent people!" Topmist shouted with a terrified expression. Many people were more afraid of death the longer they lived, and Topmist was one such person. Otherwise, he would not have specially cultivated battle techniques that allowed him to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks. He was very afraid of death.
