Lu Yin stood up and looked in the direction of the Reverent King's Residence. "Does Ming Zhaoshu have any contact with the Neohuman Alliance?"
"Probably not, or else he wouldn't have let us go to that valley," Arikar answered.
Lu Yin sighed. Even if there was no contact, he had still helped the Shenwu Empire hide the truth, which had violated the Human Domain's ironclad rules. Regardless of whether it was the Human Domain, the Astral Beast Domain, or the Technocracy, they all had to kill the Neohuman Alliance.
Ming Zhaoshu was most likely worried that the appearance of the Neohuman Alliance would lead to the destruction of the entire universe, not the trial itself.
The five sealing planets could indeed block one or two Enlighters, but if the Neohuman Alliance was exposed, then it would not just attract Enlighters, but even stronger ones. Arikar was worried that Shenwu Continent would be destroyed, which was why he had helped the Shenwu Empire hide the truth.
Unfortunately, Arikar did not understand the Neohuman Alliance at all. Lu Yin's memories of this organization were still fresh in his mind, and the Corpse King's strength still made him fearful. A Corpse King could obtain an innate gift by eating crystals, and this power could easily develop and unify Shenwu Continent. Ming Zhaoshu was playing with fire.
"Take me to that valley," Lu Yin said calmly.
Arikar looked up in surprise. "That valley?"
"Let's go." Lu Yin grabbed him, and the man hurriedly said, "There's no point in going. We've already attacked once, and the Neohuman Alliance won't stay there any longer."
"Even you know that it's dark under the lamp, so the Neohuman Alliance might do the same," Lu Yin said before grabbing Arikar and leaving Shanhai City.
The Shenwu Empire and the Neohuman Alliance were cooperating, and the main location of their cooperation was definitely on the central Ming Continent, which might even be close to Mingdu. Qiong Continent was right next to Ming Continent, so it wasn't too far away.
The valley just so happened to be where Ming Continent and Qiong Continent intersected, and a single mountain spanned across the two continents.
When Lu Yin brought Arikar outside the valley, he saw that it was completely desolate. "Look, they've already left."
Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy as he looked over, and his lips curled up. Left?
No, they were still here. There were quite a number of rune lines underground, but the largest number was only comparable to a Martial Sovereign's.
Compared to Shenwu Continent, a Martial Sovereign, or a Cruiser, was already the highest level of power. However, in the universe, it was still not enough. Still, Lu Yin did not underestimate the Cruisers of the Neohuman Alliance, as he still remembered the Corpse King's........
He hid Arikar, retracted his aura, and then dove into the ground.
Just like the Neohuman Alliance's stronghold he had seen before, it was filled with laboratories and imprisoned Corpse Kings.
Lu Yin did not know where the Neohuman Alliance had found these Corpse Kings, but it was possible that countless zombies were being incinerated in some corner of Shenwu Continent.
Ming Zhaotian's collaboration with the Neohuman Alliance was simply courting death. It was even worse than Shenwu Continent being conquered by the Outerverse.
Unfortunately, no one on the Shenwu Continent knew how terrifying the Neohuman Alliance was.
After walking around, Lu Yin noticed that aside from the imprisoned Corpse Kings and a Cruiser, there wasn't much else in the base. It was just a very ordinary base.
Lu Yin grabbed a Corpse King and left the underground without alerting anyone. He then took Arikar with him to Ming Island. He wanted to see how things were going there and how many hidden Neohuman Alliance experts were there.
Qiong Island had rebelled against the Shenwu Empire and was now at war with Ming Island. Thus, Ming Lake was no longer accessible.
Lu Yin brought Arikar and the unconscious Corpse King along a detour, bypassing the Reverent King's Residence's blockade and entering Ming Island.
Every city on Ming Island had a heavenly globe, so it was not easy for Lu Yin to enter. However, he did not need to, as all he needed to do was take a look.
The situation was much better than he had expected. Over the past two days, Lu Yin had visited five cities, but he had not seen any Neohuman Alliance experts. They were either all concentrated in Ming City or had not had the time to develop.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of that valley. Could the Neohuman Alliance be probing Ming Zhaoshu?
Once Ming Zhaoshu tacitly agreed, they would be able to do as they pleased. After all, the power of the outsiders on the Shenwu Continent could not compare to that of Ming Zhaotian and Ming Zhaoshu. As long as those two did not make a sound, it would be very difficult for them to be discovered.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion that caused Arikar to tremble in fright, and he almost dropped his food.
A fierce battle had broken out on a forest path, and a group of people had surrounded a single person.
"Your Demon Hunters Society still can't see the situation clearly. The Reverent King has already rebelled, and if you continue to surround and capture us, we will join forces with him and rebel against the Shenwu Empire!" an old man shouted as he brandished his hammers. He looked very valiant.
"How dare you speak of rebellion! You remnants of the sects should have been exterminated a long time ago!" The surrounding Demon Hunters were furious.
"You're courting death!" the old man bellowed as he swung his hammers, causing a shockwave to sweep out in all directions and crush the forest. Even space itself trembled; this was a Martial Emperor expert.
The surrounding Demon Hunters were no match for the old man, and they were all forced to retreat.
"I'll do it!" a young man rushed forward and swept his fan across the old man's neck, almost decapitating him.
The old man sneered. "Ignorant child," he said as he swung his hammer at the young man. At the same time, another hammer followed. There were two loud bangs as the young man blocked one of the hammers, but he was struck by the other. He spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground not too far away from Lu Yin's group.
Arikar was very timid at the moment, and he was so frightened that he kept retreating.
Lu Yin looked at the young man who had collapsed and spat out blood. It was him, Bei Qing. Interesting, as Lu Yin recalled that this person was the son of the Grand Secretary of the Empire. He was also ranked on the List of Tempering, but he had actually joined the Demon Hunters Society.
Bei Qing's blood was churning from the hammer strike, and he coughed incessantly. When he saw Lu Yin and the others, he waved them away. "Hurry up and leave, don't get caught in the crossfire." He then charged back into the battlefield.
Lu Yin didn't know what had happened to Bei Qing, but he was completely different from the last time they had met.
The old man was invincible, and the Demon Hunters couldn't defeat him at all.
"Activate the black sand!" someone shouted, and all of the Demon Hunters' weapons were wrapped in a layer of black sand as they attacked the old man once more.
The old man was shocked, and he leapt up to escape. However, at that moment, a golden flower appeared in the sky.
When the old man saw it, his face went pale. "Hua Ying?"
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the sky. Hua Ying?
He remembered seeing her before. She was ranked ninth on the List of Tempering and was one of the Empire's Dual Beauties. She was as famous as Ming Yan in terms of appearance, and she was a commander of the Demon Hunters Society.
"Elder Hammer, I could have spared your life, but you spouted such arrogant words. Die!" A woman with long hair and dressed in white light armor appeared in the sky.
Lu Yin was stunned when he saw her. It was no wonder why she was as famous as Ming Yan. She was valiant and valiant, and her face was absolutely beautiful. Her temperament was very similar to Wendy Yushan's, but her killing intent was much stronger. This had nothing to do with her cultivation, but rather because she had killed too many people.
What caught Lu Yin's attention the most was the determination in her eyes, and she was charging forward courageously.
"Hua Ying, do you really think that you're a match for me just because you've broken through to the Martial Emperor realm?" the old man shouted as he swung his hammers.
Hua Ying's expression didn't change, and the golden flower bloomed in the sky, slowly forming a phantom image. The old man's hammers smashed into the golden flower, causing a violent explosion.
The ground cracked open, and both Hua Ying and the old man were forced back a few steps.
The Demon Hunters didn't interfere, and they simply surrounded the old man.
The old man panted heavily, and he looked at Hua Ying unwillingly. "Today's battle ends here. I'll take my leave." He then smashed his hammers together, creating a huge shockwave that swept out in all directions like a hurricane. Suddenly, the old man's expression changed, and he fell to one knee, his face pale.
Hua Ying looked at the old man coldly. "You're not bad for not collapsing after being poisoned by my pollen."
"Despicable!" the old man roared.
The surrounding Demon Hunters all stepped forward and took the old man down.
Bei Qing's fan swept past and severed the meridians in the old man's arms and legs. The old man wailed and fainted.
"Commander, Elder Hammer has been executed," Bei Qing reported respectfully to Hua Ying.
Hua Ying grunted in acknowledgment and looked past Bei Qing to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's appearance was very strange. He had Arikar, who looked like a beggar, by his side and a Corpse King on his back. Although they were hidden in a bag, such a large bag was very conspicuous.
The Demon Hunters followed Hua Ying's gaze and surrounded Lu Yin and Arikar.
Arikar was apprehensive, but he wasn't too afraid. He knew a little about Lu Yin's strength, and he was a freak. It would be fine if the Demon Hunters didn't provoke him, but if they did, then they would be in deep trouble.
Hua Ying walked in front of Lu Yin and held the golden flower in her hand. She stared at Lu Yin coldly. "Who are you?
Why are you here?
Where are you going? "
Lu Yin rubbed his nose. "That's none of your business. I'm not a sect survivor."
"How dare you!" one of the Demon Hunters shouted.
Hua Ying stared at Lu Yin. "You were too calm during the battle just now. That's not how an ordinary person should behave. Besides, the shockwaves disappeared when they reached you. You're not an ordinary person."
Lu Yin had concealed his cultivation with his domain, so he looked like an ordinary person. However, how could someone who could withstand the shockwaves be an ordinary person?
As the commander of the Demon Hunters, Hua Ying had been on the frontlines of capturing sect survivors for many years. She could tell at a glance.
"It's fine as long as I'm not a sect survivor. Your Demon Hunters can't do anything about it."
Hua Ying's eyes narrowed. "I suspect that you're an outsider. Capture him."
Bei Qing was the first to make a move. He had been kind enough to remind this person to leave, but it turned out that he had been pretending to be weak.
Lu Yin sighed, as it was troublesome to just watch the show. He raised a hand and flicked his finger, causing a gust of wind to pierce through the fan and strike Bei Qing, forcing him to retreat. Lu Yin then waved a hand, causing the void to distort. The terrifying strength caused Hua Ying's expression to change. "Dodge!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. None of the Demon Hunters were able to dodge Lu Yin's attack, and they were all sent flying.
They were all Explorers, but Lu Yin and the old man were not on the same level. The difference was too great.
Hua Ying had thought that Lu Yin might be strong, as even she could not see through his strength. However, she had not expected him to be this strong.
"Sago Tree Silverflower," a golden flower bloomed and enveloped Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked around and saw rune lines all around him. Was this pollen poison?
It was this that had rendered the old man unable to retaliate. It seemed like this girl's innate gift was useless against him.
Lu Yin waved his hand again, and a gust of wind blew away all of the pollen poison, including the Sago Tree Silverflower.
Hua Ying took several steps back, truly shocked. Facing Lu Yin made her feel like she was facing Ming Zhaotian.
"Who are you?" Hua Ying asked sternly.
