"The eastern weaves have already formed an alliance. Lu Yin has established the Great Eastern Alliance, and Darkmist Weave is one of them. Mafioso Planet won't be able to escape."
Topmist growled, "So what?"
"Aren't you worried that he'll deal with Mafioso Planet?" Granny Chan asked.
Topmist answered, "Mafioso Planet is just one of the places where we live. As assassins, we don't have a fixed place to live. If he wants it, we can give it to him."
"Regardless, it's still your ancestral land. Are you willing to give it up?" Granny Chan questioned.
Topmist calmly asked, "What are you planning?"
Granny Chan answered, "Let's go to the Outerverse together to deal with this disaster."
Topmist was confused. "If I'm not mistaken, your Northline Flowzone has a good relationship with him. Why do you want to deal with him?"
"He chased away our Northline Flowzone's people from the Tri-Banner Federation, which infringes on our interests."
Topmist did not reply.
Granny Chan raised her voice. "Lu Yin was known as an Enlighter's nemesis when he was a Limiteer, and he's arrogant and conceited. Now that he's become an Explorer, he's even more arrogant. Are you willing to let someone like him stand above us?
You should be able to tell from his establishment of the Great Eastern Alliance that he's not someone who's willing to be lonely. He doesn't just want power, but also authority. "
"Let me think about it," Topmist said.
Granny Chan replied, "Alright, as soon as possible. I've already discussed this with Elder Zhuo. With you included, three Enlighters should be enough to deal with him."
"You'd best be clear about the Hall of Honor's stance. Don't forget that Nightqueen Qiuyu was warned by Elder Lohar."
"I know," Granny Chan replied before disappearing.
After Granny Chan left, Topmist reappeared and unhesitatingly opened his gadget to call someone he had never expected to contact. It was Lu Yin.
Far away on Zenyu Star, Lu Yin had not expected Topmist to contact him. Their contact information had been exchanged in Ironblood Weave, and neither had expected to contact the other.
"Long time no see, Lu Yin." Topmist's black figure appeared on the screen.
Lu Yin looked at him and curiously asked, "Why did you contact me?"
"Granny Chan just asked me to join forces to deal with you," Topmist said, betraying Granny Chan.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "Granny Chan?"
Lu Yin had not forgotten about this person. When they had first met outside of Planet Pyrolyte, the two of them had gotten along very well, and Granny Chan had even promised to help the Great Yu Empire rise to power. However, her attitude had suddenly changed, and she had even secretly told Darkstar Gorge about how Lu Yin had killed Lei Long, which had caused Lu Yin to be hunted down by Darkstar Gorge. Now, she was doing something like this again, which was too strange.
Lu Yin had guessed that Granny Chan might have been uncomfortable with his title as the Enlighter's Nemesis, which was why she had hit him while he was down. But now, it seemed that things weren't that simple. She had deliberately tried to kill him.
"Why are you telling me?"
Topmist replied, "With your abilities, I feel like you won't be easy to deal with. How about I give you a favor? Just remember it."
"Do assassins know how to do favors?"
"Assassins are also humans," Topmist said lightly before ending the call.
Lu Yin looked at his gadget and fell into deep thought. An assassin's senses were far sharper than an ordinary person's, and this was especially true for an old and cunning assassin like Topmist.
Why did Granny Chan deal with him?
Just because he had killed an Enlighter?
Or banish Northline Flowzone from the Tri-Banner Federation?
Speaking of which, the people from Northline Flowzone had not been banished by Lu Yin. They had left the Tri-Banner Federation on their own accord, so why had they left?
Lu Yin thought about it for a moment. It was very likely that Granny Chan knew that her snitch had been exposed, so she wanted to make the first move.
Perhaps she had revealed his secret because she did not like him and had done it casually. Now that he had been exposed, she had no choice but to deal with him for real.
Lu Yin tapped the table with a single finger. It seemed like this old woman would have to be dealt with soon. She had even taken the initiative to contact others to deal with him. She was very enthusiastic!
One day later, the Alliance Conference officially began.
This time, the Great Eastern Alliance Conference was being broadcast live to the various weaves of the Outerverse. There were 172 representatives from various powers participating, and they were all representatives from the various powers that had formed the Great Eastern Alliance.
Each of the Outerverse's large weaves had a leading power, but that did not mean that they had complete control over that weave. For example, in Frostwave Weave, the Great Yu Empire was the sole ruler, but there were still a few smaller powers that existed within it. The Great Yu Empire's territory was simply too large, and it was impossible for them to control it completely.
If Frostwave Weave was like this, then it was even more so in the other weaves. Grandtop Weave's Nine Stacks Sect was the strongest power, but even they only controlled half of the weave. The other half was controlled by dozens or even hundreds of other powers, while Darkmist Weave had hundreds of powers both overt and covert.
These powers were scattered throughout the various weaves, and they were the true rulers of their respective weaves.
Although the Great Eastern Alliance encompassed eight weaves, it would still take some time for them to completely control these weaves. However, that was only a matter of time.
Although only a hundred or so people were participating in the Alliance Conference, that was enough to represent a large portion of the eastern weaves.
The eastern weaves did not only consist of these eight weaves, as there were also Eastly Weave, Northcastle Weave, Woori Weave, Ironblood Weave, and so on. However, these weaves all had their own reasons, and Mafioso Planet did not know the secrets of those weaves' leading powers. Thus, it was not easy to rope them into the alliance.
The Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Conference was the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone in the Outerverse was waiting for it to happen. This was a major event that transcended eras, and its influence was no less than that of the Lockbreaker Society's collapse. Even Ironblood Weave was paying attention to this event.
The Alliance Conference was being held in the Great Yu Empire's imperial palace, and there were no less than ten Hunters participating in the event. All of Zenyu Star and the surrounding planets were being strictly monitored.
As the various powers' representatives entered the palace, the last to appear were Lan Wu, Jake Shamus, and the others.
172 people were seated around a large round table, and only the seat at the very top was empty. That was Lu Yin's seat.
The main purpose of the Alliance Conference was to determine the Alliance Leader, but it was just a formality. The Alliance Leader could only be Lu Yin.
Outside the palace, Ku Wei walked in with a serious expression, but Huo Qingshan recognized him and immediately pushed him out.
Ku Wei sternly said, "Don't stop me. I'm the master of Dawei Mountain, and I'm representing it in this Alliance Conference."
Huo Qingshan growled, "Don't cause trouble."
"I know Lu Yin, and we're brothers. What's wrong with me going in to support my brother's meeting? Oh, right, there's also this." Ku Wei then took out a large flag with two words written on it: "Do your best." The people around him were stunned.
Huo Qingshan was speechless. "I'll lock you up if you cause any more trouble."
Ku Wei wanted to say something else, but the flag in his hand was suddenly grasped by a hand. "Brother, give this flag to me."
Ku Wei turned around and saw a wretched old man dressed in plain grey robes with a starry sky pattern behind his back. The old man looked at his flag with a longing expression, and Ku Wei immediately became unhappy. "Where did this beggar come from? Go away."
The vulgar old man held onto the flag and refused to let go. "Little brother, this great master will read your fortune. Take this flag as a reward. This great master's wooden flag was destroyed by someone, and I'm looking for something to do."
"What does that have to do with me? How dare you steal Brother Wei's things? You must be tired of living. Do you have an ore star at home?" Ku Wei grew impatient.
The wretched old man stared at Ku Wei seriously. "Vulgar. What's the use of an ore star? I'm reading your fortune, and I'm Starsibyl's Grandpa Jiu."
Ku Wei's eyes widened. "You really dare to say that."
The wretched old man cackled. "This is the truth, and Starsibyl will never deny it. How about it? Let Starsibyl's Grandpa Jiu read your fortune. It's very accurate."
Ku Wei raised his brows. "What's your name?"
"Xuan Jiu." The wretched old man proudly raised his head.
Ku Wei looked him up and down. "You're from the Starsibyl Sect?"
Xuan Jiu coughed. "Why are you asking so much? Are you suspecting my identity?"
Ku Wei nodded without hesitation.
Xuan Jiu looked at Huo Qingshan. "Kid, go and call Lu Yin out. Let him prove it for me."
Huo Qingshan looked on coldly. These two were crazy.
"You know Lu Yin?" Ku Wei's eyes lit up.
Xuan Jiu shouted, "Of course! I've read his fortune before, but it's a pity that this child's fate isn't too good. He even met a dead person's gaze, and he won't be able to escape it in the future." He then looked at Ku Wei seriously. "Kid, how did you meet a dead person's gaze like him?"
Ku Wei blinked. "King?
Which king?
There is no king in my eyes. "
"It's a dead person."
"King?"
"Dead person."
"You're a king?"
Xuan Jiu was speechless. "You met a dead person?"
Ku Wei was furious. "You're the one who met a dead person."
"Don't tell me you haven't met a dead person. It was outside a tomb in outer space." Xuan Jiu was certain.
Ku Wei was about to curse when he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xuan Jiu strangely. "What else do you know?"
Xuan Jiu chuckled. "I also know that you've always wanted to enter that tomb, which is why you came here."
Ku Wei's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"
Xuan Jiu solemnly replied, "Starsibyl's Grandpa Jiu."
Ku Wei's brows rose. "You're not messing with me, are you?"
Xuan Jiu snatched the flag and changed the words on it. The front of the flag was now engraved with the words "Starsibyl's Grandpa Jiu," while the back was engraved with the words "Fortune Teller, Believe It or Not." "I tell fortunes based on luck, and it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Ku Wei grabbed Xuan Jiu's sleeve. "You haven't told me anything. Tell me, can I enter that tomb?"
Xuan Jiu stared at Ku Wei's face for a while before shaking his head and sighing. "You can't. You won't be able to enter in this lifetime."
Ku Wei was stunned.
"Bro, don't listen to him. He's an immoral person, and his fortune-telling has never been accurate. You can listen to him the other way around," someone said.
Xuan Jiu was furious, and he glared at that person. "You're the immoral one! Your whole family is immoral! No, they're defective! A bunch of defective!"
"Here! Defective is here!" Zhao Ran shouted excitedly from nearby. She looked at Xuan Jiu and said, "Kind fortune teller, I remember you! I'm defective! I'm here!"
Xuan Jiu's jaw dropped. "Why is she everywhere?" He then quickly ran off.
Ku Wei stood rooted to the ground, unable to react. He felt that what he had just experienced was a little strange.
On the other side of the palace, Xi Qi looked at the screen and said enviously, "Brother Lu is so amazing."
Above her head, Yu Di said disdainfully, "Amazing my ass! He's just controlling a group of two-legged beasts. Just wait, Lord Yu will definitely have more two-legged beast slaves than him in the future. No, Lord Yu remembers having many two-legged beast slaves in the past. That's right, so many of them. Where did they go?"
Xi Qi mumbled but did not retort.
