Lu Yin sneered. With his current strength and status, he did not need to be courteous to anyone. He had even dared to provoke the Daynight clan, let alone the Dark Phoenix Clan. "I've fought with someone from the Phoenix family before. Their phoenix is golden, and it's prettier than black."
Everyone was stunned, as this was a provocation.
Hugh Phinhas's eyes went wide. The Dark Phoenix Clan could not tolerate people saying that they were inferior to the Phoenix family. Suddenly, a storm of Enlighter star energy swept towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin waved a hand, and the void trembled to disperse the energy. His body merely trembled, but his eyes remained cold and arrogant. He had completed two cycles, and the amount of star energy he possessed had already surpassed that of a peak Hunter. An Enlighter's star energy suppression would not be able to injure him.
Each cycle required about two hundred times more star energy than a normal person. Even if he absorbed a hundred times more star energy than a normal person, he would still need twenty years to complete a cycle. It was ridiculous, almost to the point of despair. However, this also meant that he would not be suppressed by star energy. Even an Enlighter would find it difficult to suppress him with star energy, as he had too much star energy.
Everyone was shocked. This person even dared to fight against an Enlighter?
No way!
However, when they thought about this person's title, it did not seem like it was unacceptable.
Hugh Phinhas's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he was about to attack when Moonlight Mavis spoke up. "After beating up the young, the old one should come out. How embarrassing."
Xio was about to retort when Tyler charged out from the bottom of the lake, panting heavily. His clothes were in tatters, and he cut a sorry figure. There was even a bloody claw mark on his chest.
He glared at Lu Yin viciously. Just like Xio, he could not believe that he had been defeated in just one move.
Lu Yin smirked at him. "Do you want to cry?"
Tyler's eyes were bloodshot, and his resentment overflowed. He had been crushed in this sort of situation, and if word got out, his reputation would be ruined.
With a whoosh, the black phoenix reappeared, and its three feathers transformed into a black stream of air that entered Tyler's body.
Everyone was excited, and they were about to go all out.
As the three feathers disappeared, the black flames on Taylor's body surged even higher, and the void distorted like boiling water. "I'll make you regret ever being born!" He then charged at Lu Yin and pressed down with both hands. The black Undying Bird soared into the sky and shot towards Lu Yin with endless black flames.
It was still the Skybeast Claw, but this time, seven-lined battle force appeared on his palm. With an ancient beast roar, the Skybeast Claw tore through the black Undying Bird for the second time and pressed down on Taylor.
Taylor was in despair. Why was it still like this?
It was yet another move, and it was the same move again, leaving him completely defenseless.
"Stop!" Hugh Phinhas roared. Black flames spread through the air. This was Hugh Phinhas' power, and the black flames blocked the Skybeast Claw, preventing Taylor from being hit.
Taylor's gaze was sinister as he pulled out a materialized black feather from his cosmic ring and started burning it. "Die!" The feather transformed into flames that enveloped him, and its cry shook the entire Myriad Cities. Taylor's black phoenix spread its wings and burst forth with a power that was infinitely close to a peak Hunter's.
"Despicable!" He raised his battle force to eight lines and swung his Skybeast Claw downwards. Hugh Phinhas' black flames were still there, and he was still standing in front of Taylor. However, Taylor's black Undying Bird bypassed Hugh Phinhas' flames and charged towards Lu Yin.
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed. This was too despicable.
Moonlight Mavis' gaze turned cold, and she gently moved her fingers, causing an indescribable power to sweep towards Hugh Phinhas' black flames. At the same time, Manor Mistress Lian and the Flame Engineer acted at the same time, dispersing both Hugh Phinhas and Taylor's flames. Naturally, Lu Yin's Skybeast Claw was also dispelled.
Everyone's expressions turned ugly. This was clearly a battle between peers, but a dignified Enlighter had actually acted so shamelessly. Not only had he interfered, but Taylor had even used a power vessel. This was despicable to a certain extent.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he glanced at Taylor and then at Hugh. "So this is the Dark Phoenix Clan's method. I've experienced it myself."
Hugh Phinhas snorted. "Junior, there's a price to pay for your arrogance."
Taylor glared at Lu Yin. "Consider yourself lucky."
Lu Yin's lips curled up as he smiled. "Remember what I said: I'll make you cry."
Taylor sneered, not caring at all.
Qiong Shanhai stood up to mediate.
Everyone was dissatisfied with the Dark Phoenix Clan's methods, but no one dared to offend the Dark Phoenix Clan because of this.
Only Moonlight Mavis had called them despicable, which infuriated Hugh Phinhas, and he glared at Lu Yin coldly once more.
Lu Yin returned to his seat, and the monkey kept muttering, "Seventh Bro, kill them. You'll kill them sooner or later."
Zhu San looked at Lu Yin in admiration. "Bro, you're amazing. From start to finish, you only used three moves — no, three claws — and that bird couldn't even retaliate. Impressive."
Lu Yin smiled, as it had all been a farce. Fortunately, he hadn't been injured, but he would remember the Dark Phoenix Clan.
Wei Rong had been watching the show from start to finish, and he looked at Lu Yin with interest before looking at Taylor. His eyes flickered, and his lips curled up in an indescribable arc.
Although the battle had been disrupted, everyone had still witnessed Lu Yin's strength. Suddenly, everyone looked at him in a different light, especially the younger girls, who looked at him with admiration.
Angie sighed. "This Lu Yin's aura is too strong. Among the younger generation, probably only the top ten on the Top 100 Rankings can match him. Only the top three can suppress him!"
Wei Rong smiled. "Some people can't stand to see others at their peak. The stronger one's aura, the more enemies they will have. This is an unchanging truth."
Angie nodded. She did not like people like Lu Yin who were too aggressive. She preferred people like Wei Rong who were strategizing.
Qiongxi'er found Lu Yin and drank with him in a forthright manner. She kept insisting that Lu Yin call her "Brother Qiong," which made Lu Yin even more tired than fighting. He had no idea how to deal with such a woman, and no one had taught him anything!
He was very willing to get closer to Qiongxi'er for no other reason than the fact that she was rich.
"Brother Qiong, are you interested in the Great Eastern Alliance?
I can invest in it, and I'll give you a discount. "Lu Yin was very enthusiastic.
Qiongxi'er clinked glasses with Lu Yin. "Brother, I never invest in businesses. I only like investors."
Lu Yin was confused. What did she mean?
Qiongxi'er leaned close to Lu Yin's ear and blew into it. "I'll invest in you!
Tell me how much you want. "
Lu Yin looked at Qiongxi'er's red lips, which were only a few centimeters away from him. The fragrance of the wine wafted through the air, along with the unique fragrance of a woman. For a moment, he felt like he was being teased by a man.
Zhu San could not take it anymore, and he squeezed himself between the two of them. He glared at Lu Yin fiercely. "Brother, you can't bully your friend's wife."
Qiongxi'er rolled her eyes and walked away.
Lu Yin was confused. "We're friends?"
Zhu San threw a cosmic ring at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a look and saw that there were actually 20,000 star essence inside. Zhu San was too generous. He looked at Zhu San with a burning gaze and solemnly said, "Friend."
"If you're a friend, then don't have any ideas about Qiongxi'er. She's mine," Zhu San whispered.
"Don't worry, she'll always be yours," Lu Yin immediately assured him.
Zhu San was satisfied and returned to his seat.
"Friend, do you want to invest?
The Great Eastern Alliance welcomes you. "Lu Yin thought of something and asked Zhu San.
Zhu San pursed his lips. "We'll talk about it when I get my allowance next month."
Lu Yin was astonished. This was a truly rich person. What Lu Yin had just received was just his allowance?
Lu Yin could not understand what was going on. It seemed that he had always been living in the world of the poor.
At this moment, Qiongshanhai spoke up. "Thank you for giving my Qiong family face. My Qiong family has stood tall in Myriad City for countless years, and we like to make friends. The Qiong family will return all the star essence that everyone has paid for the items that were auctioned just now. For those who did not manage to purchase anything, my Qiong family will naturally give you a small gift."
He then waved his hand, and everyone who had not managed to purchase anything received a gift.
Lu Yin was stunned. This was too, too, too rich! The eight items that had been auctioned just now had totaled nearly 210,000 star essence. How could they just give them away like that?
Just to make friends?
Lu Yin really was poor.
However, Lu Yin immediately became happy. He had spent more than 80,000 star essence, and now, he was returning the full amount. This meant that he had obtained more than 80,000 star essence from participating in the Jasper Forest Banquet. Right, there was also the 20,000 that Zhu San had given him.
This was Myriad City, the wealthiest city in the Outerverse. It was said that as long as one could enter, they would be able to strike it rich.
Lu Yin could deeply feel the aura of a tycoon.
"Right, there's one more thing." Qiongshanhai looked around, especially at the many youths present. He then smiled and said, "My daughter, Xi 'er, is already an adult, and it's time for her to choose a husband. Everyone knows that Qiongshanhai only has one daughter, and that is Xi' er. Wan Qiancheng also only has one successor, so she will not be married off. My Qiong family can only recruit a son-in-law. If anyone has any suitable candidates, please recommend them.
I would be very grateful to you. "The others looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. The Qiong family's selection of a son-in-law was not simple. Qiong Xi 'er was the only successor of the Qiong family, and whoever became the son-in-law would have their status completely changed.
Lu Yin subconsciously looked at Wei Rong, who coincidentally met his gaze, and they smiled at each other.
The two were not worried that the other party would marry into the Qiong family. Although they had not met much, they understood each other very well. Wei Rong and Wei Rong were not people who would marry into the Qiong family. What they were worried about was that if someone managed to climb up the Qiong family's power, the power structure of the universe would change.
The Temple of Tai Mo, Wan Qiancheng, and the Dark Phoenix Clan were the three great powers of the Outerverse that could not be provoked. To Lu Yin and Wei Rong, Wan Qiancheng's influence far surpassed that of the Temple of Tai Mo and the Dark Phoenix Clan.
War was a battle of money, and it was a battle of attrition. Whoever Wan Qiancheng supported would have a greater chance of winning.
Wei Rong had come here to look for Deng Pu, but ever since he had arrived at Myriad City, he had not looked for Deng Pu. In his eyes, True Insight was not worth as much as Myriad City.
Lu Yin felt the same way, as Wan Qiancheng was too important.
Qiong Xi 'er's choice of son-in-law would not only affect Myriad City. With the Innerverse and Outerverse separated, the power structure would undergo a huge change, and Wan Qiancheng would play an extremely important role.
"I, I, I, Uncle Qiong, I'm willing!" Zhu Three jumped up and shouted excitedly. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
