"Greetings, Elder Lohar." Lu Yin's tone was respectful.
Elder Lohar looked at Lu Yin and sighed. "I've met countless youths, but of all of them, you're the most courageous. You made an enemy of the Daynight clan, killed an Enlighter, contributed to Ironblood Weave, and traveled among the various great powers. Any one of these things is enough to shake the Innerverse and Outerverse, and I admire you."
"Thank you, Elder," Lu Yin hurriedly replied.
"Because of your contributions, I've even given you some pointers and felt sorry for you. However, admiration is one thing. There are some things you've done that have crossed the line." Elder Lohar's face sank.
Lu Yin fell silent and did not speak.
"The Hall of Honor is the supreme ruler of the Human Domain. Even if you haven't been to the Neoverse, you should understand the meaning of these four symbols. With your six Honor Points, it's understandable for you to occasionally borrow their name. However, using the Hall of Honor's name to establish the Great Eastern Alliance is a little presumptuous. It's understandable for youths to be a little impulsive, but there should be a bottom line." Elder Lohar's tone was stern as he stared at Lu Yin.
When he heard Elder Lohar's reprimand, Lu Yin was not afraid. Instead, he relaxed a little, as being reprimanded meant that there was still room for negotiation.
"Elder is right. This junior won't dare to do it again," Lu Yin respectfully replied.
Elder Lohar grunted. "Someone came to me and complained about you. Actually, this isn't a big deal, but since someone brought it up, you should be punished. The Hall of Honor dominates the Human Domain not only because of their strength, but also because of their fairness. Do you understand?"
"This junior understands," Lu Yin replied.
"Using the Hall of Honor's name to establish the Great Eastern Alliance is a great crime. However, since you've made great contributions to Ironblood Weave and the original intention of establishing the Great Eastern Alliance was to help the Outerverse resist the Astral Beast Domain, the punishment will be light. Two Honor Points will be deducted as a warning. Do you accept this?" Elder Lohar asked solemnly.
Lu Yin bowed. "This junior understands. Thank you for your light punishment, Elder."
Lu Yin could still accept the deduction of just two Honor Points, as he knew that this was indeed a light punishment. Anyone could tell that the Great Eastern Alliance was established to help the Outerverse resist foreign enemies, but it was also established for Lu Yin's own personal benefit. However, Elder Lohar had avoided this point and emphasized that Lu Yin had established the Great Eastern Alliance for the sake of the Outerverse's resistance against the Astral Beast Domain.
"This matter ends here. However, there's another matter that you handled too carelessly." Elder Lohar's tone changed, and Lu Yin's eyelids twitched. Not good, there's still a backup plan. The Xun family has more than one complaint.
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of something and his face paled.
"I've heard that there's a place in the Darkmist Weave called Shenwu Continent, and the ruler of that place is colluding with the Neohuman Alliance. You're the one who's handling this matter, right?" Elder Lohar's tone was cold, and it was completely different from before. This time, the Neohuman Alliance was involved.
The Hall of Honor knew more about the Three Dark Hands than anyone else. Because of this, whenever the Three Dark Hands were involved, the problem would be more serious.
The Xun family's greatest backup plan against Lu Yin was here.
Lu Yin hurriedly said, "Elder, the one who colluded with the Neohuman Alliance was the Shenwu Empire's previous Shenwu Emperor, Ming Zhaotian. This junior has already eliminated Ming Zhaotian, and I've also eliminated the Neohuman Alliance on Shenwu Continent."
"Eliminated?
What arrogance! "Elder Lohar barked." Any place where a Neohuman Alliance Corpse King that's stronger than an Explorer appears must be completely eliminated. Planets and continents are no exception. What do you think the Neohuman Alliance is?
They represent darkness, an endless darkness. Even I don't dare to say that I can eliminate all of the Neohuman Alliance's remnants in a place, let alone you. "
"Elder, there were many experts from other powers who acted with this junior, including the Daynight clan. Those people can testify that the Neohuman Alliance has already disappeared from Shenwu Continent," Lu Yin said anxiously.
Elder Lohar snorted. "Lu Yin, I'll overlook your selfishness towards Shenwu Continent on account of your extreme innate gift and your contributions to Ironblood Weave. You handled this matter very carelessly, and Shenwu Continent must be completely wiped out. I will personally take action, and none of the living beings will be able to survive. This is the safest method."
"As for you, remember this lesson. In the future, any place where a Neohuman Alliance Corpse King that's stronger than an Explorer appears must be completely wiped out. If there's a next time, I'll deduct all of your Honor Points. That's all." Elder Lohar was about to end the call.
Lu Yin's face paled. Wipe out Shenwu Continent?
That was an entire continent with hundreds of millions of humans. If they all died, not a single one would survive. Ming Yan would also die. No, absolutely not.
Lu Yin suddenly looked up. "Hold on, Elder."
Elder Lohar stared at Lu Yin with a dignified gaze. "You want to defy the Hall of Honor's orders?"
Lu Yin let out a long breath and smiled bitterly. Defying the Hall of Honor was the Xun family's plan. They knew that Lu Yin had a relationship with Ming Yan, and it was very likely that Lu Yin would prevent Elder Lohar from wiping out Shenwu Continent. Thus, they had exposed this matter one after another. The Xun family's people were very smart.
But no matter how smart they were, they would never have thought that Lu Yin would not dare to go against the Hall of Honor.
Would he be punished for going against the Hall of Honor?
Not necessarily.
"Elder, have you heard of the Daosource Sect?" Lu Yin slowly asked as he looked at Elder Lohar.
When he heard the words "Daosource Sect," Elder Lohar's expression changed. "Where did you hear that from?"
"I didn't hear it." Lu Yin then took out his futon. "My master gave this to me."
When Elder Lohar saw the futon, he could not hide the shock in his eyes. "A futon? You actually have a futon? Who's your master?"
Lu Yin put the futon away. "Master told me not to reveal his name."
Elder Lohar looked at Lu Yin in bewilderment, and his brows furrowed as he pondered.
Lu Yin did not say anything, and he simply waited.
"Kid, do you still remember what I told you back in Ironblood Weave?" Elder Lohar asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "Elder, you told me not to use any external forces."
"Not that. I once said that if the Innerverse and Outerverse were not separated, I could help you fight for a spot."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Elder, are you talking about a spot to enter the Daosource Sect's ruins?"
Elder Lohar nodded.
"At present, only the Ten Arbiters from the Fifth Mainland can enter the Daosource Sect's ruins, and the requirement to use a futon to enter the Daosource Sect's ruins is for youths with a skeletal age of less than forty years. Some of the Ten Arbiters are about to surpass the age limit, and Elder wants to help me fight for a spot."
Elder Lohar was shocked. "You know quite a bit. What else do you know?
Have you already been to the Daosource Sect? Have you come into contact with anyone? "
Lu Yin looked at Elder Lohar. "I've been there twice, and I've come into contact with people from the Sixth Mainland. I know about imprints, bloodlines, and the Three Progenitors."
Elder Lohar sighed. "It seems like you really do know everything."
"Elder, does the Ten Arbiters' great authority have anything to do with entering the Daosource Sect's ruins?" Lu Yin asked.
Elder Lohar looked at Lu Yin with a meaningful gaze. "What are you trying to say?"
Lu Yin hurriedly bowed. "I'm just curious."
Elder Lohar thought about it for a long time before nodding. "Kid, you're smart, really smart. However, there are some things that the Hall of Honor has a bottom line. Even if you have a way to enter the Daosource Sect, you cannot cross this bottom line. The Neohuman Alliance is the bottom line."
"Junior can guarantee that nothing will happen to Shenwu Continent."
"You don't even know the extent of the disaster that the Neohuman Alliance can bring to the Human Domain."
"Junior understands, and I hope that Elder can give me a chance to resolve this issue with Shenwu Continent. If I can't, then it won't be too late for Elder to take action. Shenwu Continent has been sealed off by the five sealing planets, and Senior should know that I have the ability to see through the dangers of sourceboxes. The five sealing planets used sourceboxes to seal off Shenwu Continent, and this method is something that even multiple Enlighters cannot break through. Even if there are remnants of the Neohuman Alliance on Shenwu Continent, they will not be able to break through the five sealing planets. Senior, please be at ease," Lu Yin said respectfully.
Elder Lohar frowned at Lu Yin. "Why are you so concerned about Shenwu Continent?"
Lu Yin did not answer, and he only bowed deeply.
Elder Lohar sighed. "Alright, I can give you a chance. For now, I won't touch Shenwu Continent, but I will send someone to monitor it closely. If I discover that the situation is out of control, I will personally take action. At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lu Yin was delighted. "Thank you, Elder."
Elder Lohar grunted and sized Lu Yin up. He then praised, "Kid, what do you think of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators?"
Lu Yin was about to say that their average power level was very high, but then he suddenly recalled what White Knight had said to Blood Looney in the cauldron. "Junior encountered no less than a hundred Sixth Mainland's cultivators in the Daosource Sect's ruins, and the weakest one was able to unleash an imprint, but his power level was comparable to an expert on the Top 100 Rankings. Their average power level far surpasses that of our Fifth Mainland's.
"However, their cultivation system is too rigid, and it's as if they want to become stronger for the sake of becoming stronger. It has nothing to do with cultivation, and the path of cultivation is filled with unknown variables. It's like fighting against the heavens. On the other hand, they have always walked the path of their predecessors and even borrowed their strength. They might become very strong in the future, but their path is becoming narrower and narrower, and there is less of a possibility."
"Well said." Elder Lohar was delighted, and he looked at Lu Yin with an unprecedented admiration. "I never thought that you would be able to see this point at such a young age. Not bad, not bad at all. I was worried that you would be attracted to the Sixth Mainland's cultivation system and suffer a setback, but since you can see it so clearly, I don't need to say more, haha."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Thank you for your praise, Elder."
"Kid, work hard on your cultivation. Your innate talent is top-notch, and you have foresight. You are intelligent, and you also have many opportunities. In the future, your achievements will definitely not be any lower than the Ten Arbiters'. I have high hopes for you," Elder Lohar praised.
Lu Yin hurriedly agreed.
"Right, if you encounter the Ten Arbiters in the Daosource Sect's ruins, ask about the situation in the Innerverse." Elder Lohar suddenly changed the topic, but then he muttered to himself, "But you might not be able to meet them. Not to mention that they have already come into contact with their own inheritances, they might not even have the time to enter the Daosource Sect. Sigh."
Lu Yin did not mention that the Daosource Sect's ruins had already become a battlefield, as he was worried that Elder Lohar would force him to participate and become cannon fodder for the Ten Arbiters.
