Lu Yin closed the diary and retracted his gaze. He had unknowingly finished reading the entire diary. Was Ellen Gale an idiot, or was she infatuated?
"Can you save the Fireplume Tribe?" Hai Qiqi was so moved that she couldn't stop crying.
Lu Yin was speechless. Was she really that moved?
Men and women had different emotions when it came to crying, but this crying was too exaggerated. Women were emotional, which was not wrong at all.
He waved the diary in his hand. "Do you know where this Fireplume Tribe is?
Let me save them. "
Hai Qiqi shook her head. "Let's look it up. Maybe they're in the Outerverse."
Lu Yin laughed. "Wrong. The Innerverse is in the Daynight Flowzone."
"How do you know?" Hai Qiqi was shocked.
Lu Yin replied, "Ellen Gale mentioned that he had black and white hair with a hint of grey, which is the symbol of the Nightking Clan. This person is definitely from the Nightking Clan, which is naturally in the Daynight Flowzone."
Hai Qiqi grew anxious. "Why haven't you determined where Old Gu De is?
Hurry up! You're too inefficient. "
Lu Yin was stunned; the topic had changed so quickly.
"The sooner I deal with Old Gu De, the sooner I can explore the Astral River. I'll definitely find a way to enter the Innerverse," Hai Qiqi said.
Lu Yin stuffed the diary into her hands. "I also hope that you can find a way to enter the Innerverse. As for Old Gu De, I've already sent someone to investigate him. He's very cunning, and he's nowhere to be found. Don't worry, the area is only so big, so he won't be able to escape."
"That's for the best." Hai Qiqi put the diary away like it was a treasure. "I'm going to take a nap and reflect on this." She then ran off.
Lu Yin watched her leave and then raised his gadget to search for information on the Fireplume Tribe. Using his Honor Points, he found the Fireplume Tribe.
It had to be said that this tribe was blessed by the heavens, but they were also plagued by misfortune.
The Blazing Feather Race was born on a planet called the Blazing Feather Planet. This planet was very strange. All living things had wings, including the fish in the river and the earthworms underground. All of them had wings that burned with white flames. Humans were no exception.
Every member of the Fireplume Clan had wings burning with white flames. What was even more peculiar was that the Fireplume Clan did not have any males, only females. Even if they married outside, they would only give birth to ordinary males or beautiful females with wings of white flames. The singing of the females of the Fireplume Clan had the effect of cleansing one's soul, elevating one's essence, energy, and spirit, and boosting one's battle qi.
This effect caused the Fireplume Tribe to become the target of jealousy from the moment they were discovered. They had never been free, and they had always been controlled by other powers. They had been oppressed, and their lives had been miserable. That was until ten years ago, when the Daynight clan took control of the Fireplume Tribe. Since then, the Fireplume Tribe had disappeared without a trace, and there had been no news of them in the universe.
The one who had taken the Fireplume Clan away was Arbiter Zhenwu.
Lu Yin sighed. Arbiter Zhenwu, Nightking Zhenwu, and Lu Yin again. So many things were connected to this person, and this person was truly unwilling to be left out.
This meant that the "he" that Alan Gale had mentioned was Nightking Zhenwu.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. Even if the Innerverse and Outerverse had not been separated, Arbiter Zhenwu's strength was not something that Lu Yin could face head-on. Lu Yin had external help, but how could Arbiter Zhenwu not have it?
The battle in Ironblood Weave had already shown that once Lu Yin was targeted, his external help would not be able to display its effects. What he really needed to do was to increase his own strength.
As for the Fireplume Clan, it had nothing to do with him. If it was possible in the future, he would save them, but if it was impossible, he would not force it.
Speaking of which, the Sixth Mainland was about to send a Progenitor to sweep through the Innerverse. When that time came, it was hard to say whether the Daynight clan would still be around.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin passed down his orders and stayed in King Zishan's palace. He recited the Stonewall Scriptures and practiced Finger Tap. He also used the Second Squadron to observe Ku Wei's movements.
Ku Wei did not hide at all, and he openly wandered about in front of the palace. There were a few times when he was almost captured, but he had managed to slip away quickly.
The group from the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society would arrive on Planet Hydrotink in eight days, just before the Alliance Conference. This was exactly what Lu Yin wanted to see, as he wanted to use the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society's reputation to raise his own.
During these past few days, the eastern weaves were very quiet, as everyone was busy with the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Conference. As for the outside world, Lu Yin was not too sure, but he guessed that there were undercurrents surging.
The Outerverse's native powers wanted to swallow up the behemoths that dominated the universe, and this was an inevitable process.
However, nothing would happen before the Alliance Conference, as Wei Rong himself still had to come to Frostwave Weave.
It had been exactly twenty months since the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated. On this day, the bespectacled Mistchild sent news that she had confirmed Old Gu De's whereabouts. There were still thirteen days before the Alliance Conference.
Lu Yin immediately decided to bring Yan Yan along.
When En Ya heard that Lu Yin was about to leave, she hurriedly tried to stop him. "Your Highness, the Alliance Conference is about to begin, and the various weaves' upper echelons are about to arrive at Zenyu Star. If Your Highness leaves now, it will show that our Great Yu Empire is lacking in etiquette."
"Just tell them that I'm in seclusion and help me welcome them," Lu Yin said in a low voice. He had wanted to take revenge on Old Gu De for many years, even before he had started cultivating on Earth. Now that revenge was right in front of him, nothing could stop him.
En Ya was helpless, and she could only do as Lu Yin said.
In the Darkmist Weave, a giant spacecraft floated above a dusky primitive planet. Occasionally, people would fly out to hunt large beasts and bring them into the spacecraft.
This was a giant spacecraft that could hold at least 20,000 people.
Inside the spacecraft, there were cultivation rooms, gravity rooms, entertainment rooms, and so on.
At this moment, Old Gu De was lying down in a luxurious lounge with a trembling woman sitting on his lap. She was carefully cutting a piece of meat and feeding it to him.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Er walked in. He picked up a cup of wine and downed it in one gulp. "How long are we going to stay in this rundown place?"
Old Gu De looked at Gu Er with dissatisfaction. "You're so impatient. What kind of person are you?"
Gu Er snorted and sat down. "If it were up to me, why don't we head to the central region of the Outerverse? There are very few people who know us there, and it's much better than hiding on this primitive planet. There are only beasts here."
"We'll definitely have to leave, but not now. That girl that we were chasing has escaped into the Frostwave Weave, and she's definitely reported us to Lu Yin. We can't go anywhere for now, so we'll just stay here and wait for the news to die down," Old Gu De said in a low voice.
"Lu Yin, Lu Yin, it's Lu Yin again! That bastard caused trouble for me back in the Astral Combat Academy, and now he's even afraid of you, Father," Gu Er said.
Old Gu De's gaze turned sinister. "He's killed quite a few Enlighters and has too many tricks up his sleeve. Now, he's even established the Great Eastern Alliance, and his influence is enormous. Remember this: in the future, wherever he goes, you definitely can't show up. Don't forget that you have a grudge against him, and he also mentioned that he has a grudge against me back in the Astral Combat Academy."
"Got it." Gu Er was unwilling to give up, and he glanced at the girl sitting on Old Gu De's lap. His eyes blazed, but then, he suddenly thought of something. "Right, is that girl really a high-ranking member of the Sea King's Dome?"
Old Gu De sneered. "Back then, the West Astral River Giant Ark Flowzone's envoy sent me an image of her. If she can ride a spacecraft from the Sea King's Dome, then she's definitely a high-ranking member of the Sea King's Dome. Let's not even talk about the treasures in her hands. After a few years, when the Innerverse and Outerverse return to normal, you'll be able to marry her and become a member of the Sea King's Dome. No one will dare to touch you then.
Gu Er was excited. "Then, Father, let's hurry up and find her."
"I already said that we can't touch her right now. Let's wait for the news to die down. She's been wandering around the Astral River's border, and she's definitely looking for a way to enter the Innerverse. She'll definitely return," Old Gu De said.
Gu Er nodded, licked his lips, and drank another cup of wine.
Far away from the primitive planet, the bespectacled Mistchild appeared in front of Lu Yin on a spacecraft. She smiled at him. "Your Highness, I've made a contribution."
Lu Yin looked in the direction of the primitive planet. "Tell me. What kind of power does he have?"
The Mistchild adjusted her glasses. "Old Gu De has developed a considerable amount of power on the Astral River Giant Ark over the years. He now has five Cruisers, seventeen Explorers, and more than three thousand cultivators of various levels. The people on the Astral River Giant Ark have offended too many Outerverse cultivators, so most of them follow Old Gu De. They won't be easy to deal with.
"Old Gu De is a Hunter himself, and he's been fishing on the Astral River Giant Ark for so many years. He definitely has some treasures on hand. If we want to deal with him, we'll have to trap him first."
"Let's go to Old Gu De's hiding place," Lu Yin ordered.
The Mistchild reminded him, "Your Highness, Old Gu De is very cautious. If we show up, we'll be able to trap him. Otherwise, once we act, he'll definitely slip away, and it'll be difficult to find him again."
"I know."
Soon, the spacecraft flew towards the primitive planet.
Although it was quite a distance away, the Aurora spacecraft was too fast, and it didn't take long for them to see the primitive planet. Lu Yin also saw the number of rune lines on the planet.
Old Gu De's rune lines were enormous, but they definitely could not compare to Aden or Yan Yan.
Ever since Yan Yan had awakened, his strength had been constantly increasing. Even Lu Yin, who was wearing his universal armor, had felt threatened by his Iceburst Flame. Although Yan Yan's strength had been greatly reduced after the battle, he had still reached the level of a Hunter. Lu Yin estimated that Yan Yan's original strength had been at least that of a peak Hunter, but now, his rune lines surpassed even Old Gu De's.
On the primitive planet, the spacecraft's alarm sounded, and Old Gu De immediately went to the captain's cabin to look at the screen.
"Captain, a spacecraft has stopped outside the planet. I don't know what it's trying to do."
Old Gu De's face was solemn. "Can you tell which spacecraft it belongs to?"
"I don't know. The symbol has been covered up."
Old Gu De's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition. "Leave the planet immediately. Hurry!"
At this moment, a figure appeared on the screen and floated in outer space. The figure then raised both hands, causing a white chill to rapidly spread out towards the planet. Suddenly, the screen became a vast expanse of white.
Old Gu De's pupils shrank, and he leapt out of the spacecraft. He then threw out all sorts of weapons and bombarded them in outer space. The void was torn apart, and the weapons left deep marks on the solid white ice. However, they were unable to break through the ice.
In less than ten seconds, the entire planet was encased in solid white ice, and the frigid air caused the planet to enter an era of glaciers. Animals and plants quickly froze to death, and even seawater and rivers were frozen solid.
