Lu Yin immediately summoned Aden and brought the Blind Monk with him. They then boarded a spacecraft and headed to the Modo Weave. No matter what the reason was, he could not allow Peach to be captured. She was both his subordinate and his friend.
In the starry sky, a strangely shaped spaceship that resembled a long arrow was flying towards the east. Within the spaceship, Peach was tied to a pillar with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. In front of her was a young man with a sinister expression who was staring at her coldly.
At this moment, Peach was no longer the petite girl that Lu Yin had always seen. Instead, she had transformed into a girl who was 1.6 meters tall, and her appearance had changed quite a bit as well. However, he could still recognize her at a glance; this was her original appearance. Ever since Undying Yushan had brought her to the Great Yu Empire, she had used her star energy to transform her body and maintain the appearance of a little girl. Because he had gotten used to seeing her, even Lu Yin hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"Peach, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up and your thoughts have matured. Hand it over so you don't have to suffer," the young man said coldly.
Peach spat and glared at the young man. "Shao Zi Song, don't even think about it. I won't give you the arrow. Just give up."
Shaozi Song suddenly raised his hand and slapped Peach, leaving a red handprint on her face. "Damned girl, you're still as stubborn as you were back then. Do you really think that someone can save you? The Headmaster has been in seclusion for dozens of years, and my master has always been in charge of the Hall of Tai Mo. If he wants you to live, you can live, but if he wants you to die, you'll suffer a fate worse than death.
Peach glared at Shaozi Song, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Shaozi Song sneered. "Right, I almost forgot. You're the captain of the Sixth Imperial Squadron, and I think you're from the Great Yu Empire. Tell me, if Master sends someone to destroy the Great Yu Empire, won't you feel guilty?"
Peach's eyes widened. "That's my business, and it has nothing to do with the Great Yu Empire."
"It was the Great Yu Empire that saved you back then, right? That alone is enough. You should understand the strength of our Tai Mo Palace, and a tiny Great Yu Empire is nothing to us," Shaozi Song threatened.
Peach suddenly laughed as she looked mockingly at Shaozi Song. "The Hall of Tai Mo has always been sealed off from the world. You don't even watch the news?
Did they really think that they could destroy the Great Yu Empire?
What a joke! Check it out yourself; the Great Yu Empire is no longer the Great Yu Empire of a few years ago. "
Shaozisong arched an eyebrow and looked behind him.
One person walked out and activated his gadget. There was an introduction to the Great Yu Empire and the Great Eastern Alliance.
Shaozisong was surprised. "The Great Eastern Alliance?
Lu Yin?
An Enlighter assassin? "
Peach looked at him mockingly. "You'd better let me go. Otherwise, be prepared to face the wrath of the Great Eastern Alliance."
Shaozi Song watched for a long time with a grim expression. However, he still sneered and looked at Peach, "Little Peach, have you forgotten how the Tai Mo Hall obtained its current status?"
Peach's expression changed, her eyes filled with deep fear.
A long time ago, the Temple of Tai Mo had been threatened by a powerhouse from the Innerverse whose power level exceeded 300,000. That powerhouse did not care about the Outerverse at all, and he had wanted to forcibly occupy the Temple of Tai Mo. In the end, he had been killed by a single arrow from the Temple of Tai Mo. It was from then on that the Temple of Tai Mo had gained an extraordinary status.
Even though most of the Innerverse's powers did not have any old freaks with power levels over 300,000, the Temple of Tai Mo had been able to kill such a powerhouse. This was their foundation.
Peach knew that the Temple of Tai Mo had three Enlighters and that they had the ability to kill an old freak with a power level over 300,000. That was the true strength of the Temple of Tai Mo.
Shaozisong sneered when he saw Peach's expression change. He grabbed her hair and stared at her. "It'll be fine if that Lu Yin doesn't come, but if he does, my master can just destroy him. What Great Eastern Alliance? In the eyes of the Temple of Tai Mo, they're just a bunch of trash."
Peach's face paled, and she gradually despaired. The Temple of Tai Mo could rival the Innerverse's great powers. The Great Yu Empire might be able to withstand one or two Enlighters, but they could not withstand the Temple of Tai Mo's foundation, let alone rescue her. In this part of the universe, there was no one who could rescue her from the Temple of Tai Mo.
In the eastern weaves, the arrow-shaped spacecraft was the symbol of the Temple of Tai Mo. No matter where it went, it could go as it pleased, and no one dared to stop it.
But today, the Temple of Tai Mo's sword-shaped spacecraft had been intercepted at the Vastdearth Sect.
Shaozisong was furious. "What's going on?"
A disciple from the Temple of Tai Mo reported, "Senior Brother Song, the Vastdearth Sect's Elder Hua Qiao intercepted the spacecraft. He said, he said."
"What did he say?" Shaozisong's tone was cold.
The disciple's expression turned ugly. "He said that he wants to search the spacecraft."
Shaozisong slammed his hand down on the table, shattering it. "The Vastdearth Sect sure has guts! How dare they search the Temple of Tai Mo's spacecraft?"
After saying that, he suddenly looked at Peach and saw the hope in her eyes. His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly slapped her again, tearing her mouth open. "Damn girl, you'd better pray that the Great Eastern Alliance doesn't cause trouble for the Hall of Tai Mo. Otherwise, I'll ask Master to destroy them." With that, he coldly snorted and walked out.
Peach glared at Shaozisong's departing figure with a complicated expression. The Vastdearth Sect could not have intercepted the Temple of Tai Mo's spacecraft for no reason. Had His Highness really taken action?
The Temple of Tai Mo was not Aegis, and they had the resources to kill a powerhouse with a power level of 300,000.
Outside the spacecraft, the Vastdearth Sect's spacecraft was lined up in a row, blocking the arrow-shaped spacecraft. Elder Hua Qiao stood in space, looking at the arrow-shaped spacecraft in front of him with fear. The Temple of Tai Mo was a terrifying power that dominated the eastern weaves, and it was one of the top powers in the entire Outerverse. No one had expected that they would be reconnected so quickly.
If they had been a step earlier, the Great Eastern Alliance might not have been established so smoothly.
Fortunately, this power was isolated from the rest of the world and had not participated in the Outerverse's power struggles for countless years. If possible, Hua Qiao did not want to provoke this power, but he had received orders from his superiors, so he could only brace himself and stop them.
Shaozisong walked out of the spacecraft and saw Hua Qiao. He sneered, and his body flickered as he appeared in front of Hua Qiao. "Elder Hua, long time no see."
Hua Qiao frowned when he saw Shaozisong. "You are?"
"Temple of Tai Mo, Elder of Technique Imparting Elder, disciple of Grandmaster Bei, Shaozisong." His voice reverberated throughout space, causing the Vastdearth Sect disciples to feel apprehensive.
Hua Qiao remembered and solemnly said, "So it's Peking Teacher's eldest disciple. We've met once before."
Shaozisong stared at Hua Qiao coldly. "Elder Hua, how did my Temple of Tai Mo offend your Vastdearth Sect?
Why did you stop us? "
Hua Qiao hesitated and then said awkwardly, "To be honest, Peach, the captain of the Great Yu Empire's Sixth Imperial Squadron, has gone missing. Alliance Master Lu suspects that you have taken her away, which is why he stopped you. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us."
Shaozisong's gaze turned cold. "What do you mean?
Can the Temple of Tai Mo be blamed for the disappearance of someone from the Great Yu Empire?
It seems like the eastern weaves have forgotten about our Temple of Tai Mo after a few years. Do they really think that the Great Eastern Alliance can suppress us? "
Hua Qiao did not answer. He had naturally heard of the legends of the Temple of Tai Mo. Even an Innerverse powerhouse with a power level of 300,000 had been instantly killed. The Temple of Tai Mo had a background that surpassed the Outerverse, and it was completely different from Aegis.
Shaozisong coldly said, "Get out of the way. I have urgent matters to report back to the Temple of Tai Mo. If I'm delayed, will your Vastdearth Sect be able to bear the consequences?"
Hua Qiao apologized, "I'm really sorry, but please wait for a moment. Alliance Master Lu will be here shortly."
Shaozisong was furious. "What a joke! My Temple of Tai Mo has traveled the universe and has never been stopped before. You actually dare to make us wait for that Lu Yin? How bold of you!"
Hua Qiao's expression did not change, and he allowed Shaozisong to yell and shout. He did not respond, as he was only responsible for stopping Shaozisong's group and handing them over to Lu Yin. If there was any trouble, the Great Yu Empire would naturally take care of it. Of course, he did not intend to conduct the search that he had mentioned earlier, as Shaozisong's status did not allow him to do so. Doing so would be equivalent to slapping Bei Bei in the face.
Bei Bei was one of the Enlighters in the Temple of Tai Mo, and the Vastdearth Sect did not want to offend him.
Shaozisong angrily questioned and tried to force Elder Hua Qiao to back off, but the elder remained indifferent. Shaozisong even wanted to attack, but in the end, he did not. After all, this was the Vastdearth Sect, and it was impossible for him to charge through on his own.
"Fine, I'll wait here and see if your Alliance Master dares to search my Temple of Tai Mo's spacecraft. Think about the consequences." Shaozisong then turned around and returned to his spacecraft.
Hua Qiao sighed, as Lu Yin really was as troublesome as the rumors said. He had just provoked Aegis, and now, he was provoking the Temple of Tai Mo.
The Temple of Tai Mo was different from Aegis, and it was not something that could be intimidated by an old smoker. Once the Temple of Tai Mo was provoked, they could activate a power level that could instantly kill powerhouses with power levels of 300,000, and the Great Yu Empire would be finished.
Lu Yin naturally knew how terrifying the Temple of Tai Mo was, which was why he had ordered the Vastdearth Sect to intercept Shaozisong's group. He wanted to rescue Peach outside of the Modor Weave. Once they entered the Modor Weave and entered the Temple of Tai Mo's sphere of influence, it would be hard to say what would happen.
One day later, Hua Qiao's anxiously waited for Lu Yin's arrival with Aden and the Blind Monk.
"Alliance Master." Hua Qiao bowed to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the arrow-shaped spacecraft that was not too far away, and his eyes narrowed as he saw quite a few rune lines. In order to search for Peach, he had directly enveloped the spacecraft with his domain.
Within the spacecraft, Shaozisong sensed the domain, and his face turned cold. "How dare you spy on my Temple of Tai Mo!" He then took out a bow from his cosmic ring and fired an arrow in Lu Yin's direction.
Shaozisong had a power level of 130,000, and he was a Hunter. Logically speaking, his attack should not have been very strong, and it was far weaker than an Infernal Judge or an assassin. However, this arrow shocked Lu Yin, as it did not contain any complicated battle techniques or strange innate gifts. The arrow pierced through the void, and all of Shaozisong's attacks were concentrated on the arrow.
The number of rune lines in this arrow far exceeded 130,000 combat power. It was at least 180,000 combat power.
Aden stepped forward and blocked the arrow with his thunder shield. There was a thump as the arrow was destroyed, as this attack was not even qualified to make him move.
Lu Yin was shocked by the arrow intent within Shaozisong's arrow, but the power of the attack was not very high. Ever since the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, a significant portion of the opponents that Lu Yin had faced had been Enlighters, and even the weakest had been a peak Hunter. Shaozisong's arrow was not worthy of Lu Yin's attention, but the arrow intent was extraordinary.
Shaozisong had not expected his arrow to be blocked so easily. He walked out of outer space and looked around coldly. He saw Aden and Lu Yin.
