Had the Neohuman Alliance on Shenwu Continent been wiped clean?
Lu Yin did not know. No, he had to check again.
Lu Yin spent another ten days traveling around Shenwu Continent, including the isolated islands in the ocean. He destroyed three Neohuman Alliance strongholds before finally returning to Shanhai City to have a long talk with Ming Zhaoshu. Only then did he leave Shenwu Continent.
He had done everything that could be done, and Shenwu Continent should be wiped clean. Even so, he had Ming Zhaoshu rearrange Ming Yan's meals and living arrangements just in case.
Before leaving, he did not meet with Ming Yan. Ming Yan's gaze was much more resolute than before, which was a good thing, and he did not want to disturb her.
Half a year later, when Ming Zhaoshu died, Lu Yin would return.
It had been more than twenty days since he had left the Daosource Sect's ruins, and he should be able to enter again. However, Lu Yin had not made up his mind yet, as he did not know if the battle there was still as intense as before. The battle between the Ten Arbiters and the Realmlings was not something that he could interfere with, so he wanted to wait a little longer.
When Lu Yin returned to King Zishan's palace, Kayze reported, "Someone called Ding Xing has been waiting for Your Highness for a few days now. Would you like to meet him?"
Ding Xing?
Lu Yin thought about it. Right, it was someone from Northcastle Weave's Greatsword Dynasty, and he wanted Lu Yin to help him chase away the people from the Beast Tamers Flowzone and restore the Greatsword Dynasty. As for the reward, it was the Greatsword Dynasty's treasures.
Northcastle Weave was close to the Astral Wilderness, and there were still many powers searching for pyrolyte. If Lu Yin rashly interfered with Northcastle Weave, it would easily cause these powers to become wary and retaliate. The most important thing right now was to establish the Great Eastern Alliance, and Lu Yin did not want any accidents to happen before the alliance was formed.
"Let him return. When the time comes, I'll help him," Lu Yin said.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Yin had been very tired during this period of time, and he only recovered after resting for a day after returning to King Zishan's palace. He took out the cosmic ring that the Xun family had given to Huo Qingshan, and there were actually 10,000 star essence inside. The Xun family had shown some sincerity, and it seemed that they had really wanted to use this sum of money to resolve their grudges with Lu Yin. They had been too naive.
However, that old fox Xun Qianye had slipped away, and Lu Yin hoped that Mafioso Planet or the Daynight clan would be able to find him.
The Xun family's goal had always been that gun. Xun Qianye had used all sorts of methods to get rid of Lu Yin, and he had even exposed the Vastdearth Sect's Cheng Yan from the very beginning to prevent the Vastdearth Sect from joining the Great Eastern Alliance.
If everything had gone smoothly, Lu Yin would have been punished by the Hall of Honor, and the Great Eastern Alliance would have been destroyed. Unfortunately, the Xun family's efforts had all been for naught, and they had suffered heavy casualties. To this day, no one from the Xun family could be found in the Outerverse.
Right now, no one was more worried than the Vastdearth Sect.
Without Cheng Yan's connection to the Great Yu Empire, the Vastdearth Sect had no idea what the Great Yu Empire was planning.
"I suggest that we take the initiative to contact the Great Yu Empire," Elder Angio said as he looked at Meng Tianlong.
The other elders agreed, as they were all afraid that Lu Yin would come directly. He was a tyrannical person, and even the Daynight clan did not dare to provoke him. The Innerverse's powers had a deterrent effect on the Outerverse, but that did not apply to Lu Yin.
In many people's eyes, Lu Yin was even more terrifying than some of the Innerverse's powers.
Meng Tianlong muttered to himself for a moment. "If you want to contact the Great Yu Empire, then you'll have to consider whether or not to join the Great Eastern Alliance."
Everyone fell silent.
At this moment, someone reported, "Someone from Darkstar Gorge has come to visit."
Meng Tianlong and the rest were stunned, but they were soon overjoyed. They had been sending people to the outside world to inquire about the Great Eastern Alliance, and now, they had finally received a response.
If Lu Yin saw the person from Darkstar Gorge, he would definitely be familiar with him. It was one of the five Hunters who had tried to assassinate him during his trip to the Six-Fingered Tribe.
"My Darkstar Gorge will definitely not join this so-called Great Eastern Alliance. Although it's called an alliance, it's actually just an alliance that will provide resources to the Great Yu Empire and help them unify the eastern weaves," the Hunter from Darkstar Gorge, Zha Pu, said resolutely.
Meng Tianlong asked, "Unify the eastern weaves?
Is Lu Yin really that ambitious? "
Zha Pu sneered. "Of course. He even dares to kill Enlighters, so what else does he not dare to do? If we allow him to successfully form an alliance, then we will all become his subordinates. Sect Master Meng, you don't want someone to point fingers at you, right?"
These words struck a chord with Meng Tianlong. As the sect master of the Vastdearth Sect, he was in charge of an entire weave, and his authority was paramount. A single word from him could decide the life and death of countless people. He could allow someone to soar into the heavens or fall into a bottomless abyss. Those who had never enjoyed such power would never understand it, but once they had, they would become addicted to it and would never let go.
He couldn't accept the fact that someone was pointing at him and whispering behind his back for no apparent reason.
"What does Darkstar Gorge plan to do?" Meng Tianlong asked.
Zha Pu smiled. "We've already contacted Evenground Palace, the Tri-Banner Federation, and the other major powers. The Great Yu Empire wants to take action against us one by one and force us to join some Great Eastern Alliance. We'll form an anti-Great Alliance, and there won't be any agreements. We just need to work together to resist the Great Yu Empire. We don't believe that with so many powers working together, Lu Yin will be able to kill us one by one. Even if he does manage to kill us all, the Hall of Honor won't just stand by and watch."
Meng Tianlong's eyes lit up. "You've really contacted them?"
"Of course. In a few days, we'll have a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Great Yu Empire. Does Sect Master Meng want to join us?" Zha Pu asked.
Meng Tianlong immediately agreed.
Zha Pu left, and Meng Tianlong was filled with anticipation. With so many powers working together, the so-called Great Eastern Alliance would definitely be unable to be formed, and the Great Yu Empire would also be ostracized. So what if Lu Yin was strong? Just as Zha Pu had said, Lu Yin could kill as many people as he wanted.
Although the universe adhered to the Dark Forest Law, humans were creatures with a bottom line. It was impossible for one person to be so heartless as to kill so many people. Even if Lu Yin was truly that heartless, the Hall of Honor would not allow it. Humans were humans because they had a bottom line, and this bottom line was determined by the number of people that they could kill.
Far away in the Great Yu Empire, Lu Yin quickly learned of this matter, and his expression turned ugly.
En Ya felt troubled. "If so many powers really work together, then the Great Eastern Alliance will definitely not be formed. We can't rely on our iron fist to suppress everyone. Even if the alliance is temporarily formed, it will be very difficult for us to consolidate our resources in the future. This is not our original intention."
"We hope that the various powers will be willing to join the alliance and take the initiative to consolidate their resources, not force them," Huan Sha said.
Lu Yin rapped a finger on the table. "Tell me, are these Outerverse powers wolves or sheep?"
En Ya and Huan Sha looked at each other in confusion. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "When faced with Innerverse powers like the Daynight clan and the Xun family, they would easily submit. Without Darkstar Gorge's alliance, they would still submit to me. In essence, they are sheep."
"But they've already formed an alliance," En Ya said.
"But I'd like to see how strong this alliance is." Lu Yin smiled.
"What do you plan to do, Your Highness?" En Ya asked.
Lu Yin stood up and walked out. He looked at the sky. "Darkstar Gorge is actually sheep as well, but their hatred for me runs too deep. I was the one who forced them to turn into a wolf, and now that a wolf is leading a flock of sheep against me, I'll slaughter that wolf."
"Your Highness wants to take care of Darkstar Gorge?" En Ya was shocked.
Lu Yin's tone was indifferent. "I have to make an example out of them. Otherwise, the Outerverse powers will think that I'm benevolent and won't dare to act against them."
"Your Highness, the various powers have already formed an alliance. If we rashly attack Darkstar Gorge, the other powers might take action in order to protect themselves," Huan Sha reminded him.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm not doing this because they've formed an alliance against me. I'm doing this because of the Hall of Honor's orders."
En Ya and Huan Sha did not understand. As long as one did not betray the Human Domain or do anything unforgivable, why would the Hall of Honor attack a power?
After chasing away En Ya and Huan Sha, Lu Yin activated his gadget, and Elder Lohar's image appeared on his screen.
"Junior greets Elder." Lu Yin bowed respectfully.
Elder Lohar was in a good mood when he saw Lu Yin. "Kid, you've suddenly contacted me. You must have something to ask of me."
Lu Yin smiled. "How did Elder know?"
Elder Lohar laughed. "Although the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, my Hall of Honor has not become blind. Kid, let me tell you something. If you want to form the Great Eastern Alliance, I won't interfere. Even if you occasionally use the Hall of Honor's name, I won't interfere. But if you want the Hall of Honor to help you, that's impossible."
Lu Yin rubbed his nose. "Junior has never underestimated the Hall of Honor's power. I understand Elder's warning, but this time, I'm not contacting Elder to ask for help. I'm contacting Elder to make a report."
"Report?" Elder Lohar was puzzled. "Report who?"
"Junior is reporting that Darkstar Gorge is colluding with the Neohuman Alliance," Lu Yin said solemnly.
Elder Lohar was shocked. "Darkstar Gorge is colluding with the Neohuman Alliance?
Kid, let me warn you. Even if your current status is special, you can't cross the Hall of Honor's bottom line. Wantonly making false accusations in an attempt to use the Hall of Honor to eliminate your enemy. This is a very serious crime, and once it's confirmed, I might take away your futon. "
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Junior is definitely not making false accusations against Darkstar Gorge. Outerverse Youth Council Councilor Puyu has people from the Neohuman Alliance by his side. Back then, Arbiter Wen also went to Darkstar Gorge to investigate, and he told me not to spread the news. He's also confirmed that Darkstar Gorge is colluding with the Neohuman Alliance. The only reason he hasn't acted yet is because he wants to find more people who are colluding with the Neohuman Alliance. Elder, you can send someone to investigate."
Elder Lohar's expression turned solemn. "Alright. If this is true, then you've made a contribution."
"Elder, Puyu is currently at the Outerverse Council's headquarters, East San Dios. Since I'm on my way there, I'll find the Neohuman Alliance's Corpse King and request the Hall of Honor's confirmation," Lu Yin said.
Elder Lohar thought about it. "Alright, but I'll warn you again. Don't try to make false accusations. The Hall of Honor has its own methods of investigating the truth. If you try to use the Hall of Honor, then I'll personally take away your futon, deduct all of your Honor Points, and imprison you."
"Junior understands," Lu Yin respectfully replied.
The screen turned off, and Lu Yin sighed. He would have to use Vulture in the end. Wen Sansi hadn't acted back then, but the Hall of Honor wouldn't let him go. It was a pity. He had originally wanted Puyu to restrain Liu Shaoge at East San Dios, but it seemed like that wouldn't work. Since that was the case, then he might as well get rid of Vulture as well!
