"Uncle Master gave it to me, and there's also Teacher Bei's compensation, as well as what the Hall of Tai Mo owes me over the years. It's all here, and I'll give it to you," Peach said.
Lu Yin hurriedly refused. What a joke! Although he lacked money, he would not steal from a child. Peach might not be much younger than him, but her appearance was too deceiving. Furthermore, this girl was used to maintaining her innocence, and she could not change it. She was just like a child.
Lu Yin would feel embarrassed if he took her things.
"I still have a lot more. You've already returned everything from my bloodline to me. Your Highness, just take it as a token of my gratitude," Peach insisted, insisting that Lu Yin accept it.
Lu Yin refused, as it was too embarrassing.
"How about this? I'll give this to you." Peach removed a pocket-sized carving of an arrow from around her neck. "Master carved this to tease me. It's a gift to you. You can't not accept it, or else we won't be friends," she said firmly.
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, I'll take it." He then placed it in his cosmic ring. "Are you satisfied now?"
Peach smiled brilliantly and then walked away.
Not too far away, a few disciples from the Hall of Tai Mo glared at Lu Yin as if he were a swindler.
"Seventh Bro, how embarrassing. You even want a little girl's things," the monkey mocked.
Lu Yin was deep in thought, and he ignored the monkey as he was thinking about something else.
Back at the Hall of Tai Mo, Lu Yin had asked Peach how she had been rescued, and she had said that she had been taken away by Undying Yushan.
Master Bei Bei had placed great importance on that arrow, and it was impossible for him not to personally take action. Even under such circumstances, Undying Yushan had still been able to take her away without the Hall of Tai Mo being able to find any trace of them. This gave Lu Yin a new understanding of Undying Yushan's abilities.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of the Blind Monk and the others. Peach had a background, but what about the Blind Monk?
"What did you say?
You're the prince of the largest tribe in Grandforest Weave? "Lu Yin stared at the Blind Monk in shock. This man's image did not match that of a prince at all.
The Blind Monk was very calm. "During the war between the tribes, this subordinate accidentally wandered off and was rescued by His Majesty. A few years later, this subordinate's tribe won, and my family found me. However, this subordinate wanted to stay in the Great Yu Empire for a while, so I did not return, and have been delayed until now."
Lu Yin understood. "Is your tribe? is very powerful?"
The blind monk pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm in charge of a force."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Can you convince Grandforest Weave to join the Great Eastern Alliance?"
"I can give it a try. It should work," the Blind Monk replied straightforwardly and confidently. He was a prince.
"Why didn't you say so before?"
The Blind Monk.
Lu Yin guessed that it was probably because he had saved Peach that this fellow had sincerely submitted to him. Otherwise, he would still be hiding his identity.
What had Undying Yushan been trying to do?
None of these captains had simple backgrounds. Could it be that he really wanted to unify the eastern weaves at that time?
It was not impossible. The Greatsword Dynasty had already sensed his ambition, which showed that he had not restrained his ambition at all.
Many of Lu Yin's achievements should be attributed to Undying Yushan.

"The possibility is very high. The old man thought that it was too long ago to connect the two, but Nightking Zhenwu's archery technique came from the Sixth Mainland, so it should have been obtained in the Daosource Sect's ruins. Aren't the Daosource Sect's ruins synonymous with ancient times?" the monkey analyzed.
Lu Yin agreed. "If that's the case, then we definitely can't let the Hall of Tai Mo know about Nightking Zhenwu." Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "No, we should let them know."
The monkey cackled. "Are you trying to tempt the Hall of Tai Mo into making a move against Nightking Zhenwu?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "It's not impossible. The Hall of Tai Mo only obtained three arrows back then. If Nightking Zhenwu obtained the complete inheritance, what do you think the Hall of Tai Mo would do?"
"Of course, they'd think of a way to snatch it."
"That's right, but we still need to plan things out properly. Otherwise, not only will we fail to instigate them, but they might even join forces. That would be disgusting," Lu Yin muttered.
As they passed by the Vastdearth Sect, Meng Tianlong disembarked. This trip to the Hall of Tai Mo had given him a huge shock. First, he had fought against the Enlighter Master Bei, and then he had witnessed Arrow Mountain's background. Finally, he had even felt the heavenly might of Arrow Mountain's ancestor. Meng Tianlong had come to realize that his Vastdearth Sect was not on the same level as the Hall of Tai Mo.
What made him feel the most helpless was that the Hall of Tai Mo's Sect Master, Gong Ling, admired Lu Yin greatly. Furthermore, there was also the matter of that little girl. It was very likely that the Hall of Tai Mo would collude with Lu Yin, and if they really joined forces, then the entire eastern weave would be Lu Yin's.
He no longer went to Elder Meng's seclusion grounds, as it would be useless. Lu Yin wasn't even afraid of the Hall of Tai Mo, so he definitely wouldn't care about the Vastdearth Sect's elders.
What he needed to do now was to borrow the strength of the Great Eastern Alliance to strengthen his Vastdearth Sect.
"It seems like Meng Tianlong has been frightened." Aden laughed.
Lu Yin smiled. "In the universe, a sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years can usually develop to the level that the Vastdearth Sect has. If they want to advance any further, they need to produce an Enlighter. The Hall of Tai Mo is an even more ancient power, and the foundation of that power is not something that Meng Tianlong can imagine."
"Is Gong Ling really willing to join the Great Eastern Alliance?" Aden was curious.
Lu Yin nodded. "Twenty weaves. The Great Eastern Alliance currently has nine weaves, and even if we include all of the eastern weaves, it still won't be enough."
"It seems like His Highness has made up his mind," Aden commented before turning to leave.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to activate his gadget. He looked at the star chart, and his gaze locked onto one of the eastern weaves — Armament Weave.
Wei Rong should have taken care of Sourcepeak Weave by now, and with his abilities, he should be able to do so. However, Lu Yin did not know what Wei Rong's next step was. The Great Eastern Alliance definitely had a weave, but where would Wei Rong start?
Back then, Mafioso Planet's secret had been a great help to the Great Eastern Alliance, as well as Lu Yin's battle achievements and methods.
Wei Rong would definitely use other methods, and he would definitely make use of Lu Yin.
The Great Eastern Alliance's existence was a huge threat to the central weaves, and Lu Yin's existence could very well have helped Wei Rong promote the central weaves' alliance.
They had just left Vastdearth Weave when an alarm sounded from their spacecraft.
"Your Highness, there are interstellar pirates!" Peach shouted excitedly as she stared into space.
Lu Yin was stunned. Interstellar pirates?
Robbing them?
That was crazy! Their spacecraft was an Aurora! Right, when they were heading towards Taimo Temple, Lu Yin had erased the Great Yu Empire's insignia from the spacecraft to prevent any accidents from happening. Even so, very few pirates dared to rob an Aurora, as owning an Aurora was a sign of wealth and status. Furthermore, an Aurora's defenses might not be something that pirates could break through, which was strange.
In the distance, broken spacecraft lined up in a row, blocking Lu Yin's path back to Frostwave Weave. All sorts of weapons were used to block their path.
On one of the broken spacecraft, many people had gathered together and were arguing. "Hurry up and let them through! That's a radiant-grade Aurora, and it can withstand a Cruiser's attack. With our current strength, we can't break through its defenses, and we might even provoke a powerful enemy."
"There's no other way. We're already at the end of our rope. If we don't rob them, we'll starve to death!" someone else shouted.
"We can't go anywhere right now. Our spacecraft can't fly at all, and there aren't any planets nearby that we can land on. Even if we want to die, we don't have any enemies. We can only rob them and hope that we're lucky enough to scare them off," a ruffian-looking man with stubble on his face helplessly said.
…
Just as the pirates were discussing this, an enormous pressure descended upon them, pressing them all to the ground. The pressure of the star energy made it difficult for them to even breathe. The pirates despaired, as this pressure was the same as a Hunter kicking an iron plate. Even the powerful enemies that had chased them into a corner were only Cruisers, but they had actually run into a Hunter.
The blind monk walked out of the void, grabbed two people, and tore through the void to leave.
With a thump, the two pirates in front of Lu Yin fell to the ground in a sorry state. The blind monk walked over to Lu Yin's side and stood there quietly.
The two pirates looked at each other and then looked up in fear. They immediately saw Lu Yin, the blind monk, and the curious Peach standing next to him.
"I-I'm sorry, my Lord. We were blind to have disturbed you, my Lord. We were blind," the ruffian pirate begged for mercy in a panic.
Lu Yin looked at him, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. His eyes lit up. "Little Eight?"
The ruffian-looking pirate was stunned. Little Eight … What a distant yet familiar name. Back when he had first embarked on the path of piracy, he had only robbed five people before he had run into a lunatic who had insisted that he lead the way to rob other pirates. In the end, they had parted ways at the pirate port. Little Eight was the name that that person had given him. He stared at Lu Yin in a daze, but then he became ecstatic. "Boss, is that you? It really is you!
Little Eight, Little Eight! Little Eight! Little Eight! "Lu Yin looked at the ruffian-looking pirate who was hugging his leg and kicked him away." Didn't you say that you didn't want to be a pirate anymore?
How did you become a pirate again? "
Little Eight's face was filled with grief. "Boss, you don't know how hard Little Eight's life has been. Back when we parted ways at the pirate port, we were robbed. Those bastards betrayed us and told the other pirates about our whereabouts, causing us to be sold off to black-hearted merchants to do manual labor. If it weren't for our good luck, you wouldn't have been able to meet Little Eight. Boss, take me in, Boss!" He hugged Lu Yin's leg tightly once more.
Peach and the others were shocked. Boss?
Pirate?
The other pirate was stunned. Little Eight?
Wasn't he called Little Seven?
"Little Seven, do you know this lord?" the other pirate asked.
Little Eight turned around and snarled, "My name is Little Eight. Remember, Little Eight."
Lu Yin kicked Little Eight away again. "Alright, what's wrong with you guys?
Why is your spacecraft so broken? "
Little Eight cried, "Boss, you don't know how miserable we are. We were doing well in Darkmist Weave, and we would occasionally rob others. Our methods were more refined, but recently, we offended someone, and all the pirates in Darkmist Weave are being hunted down. It just so happens that the ones who are after us are also pirates. Apparently, they came from the west and chased us away. Boss, Little Eight is suffering."
Lu Yin was interested. "Pirates from the west are after you?"
