Lu Yin ended the call and frowned. Wei Rong's words had reminded him of the past. Had Wei Rong really not been able to find out which trial of the Ten Arbiters? Or was he just pretending not to know?
Lu Yin had no way to investigate this matter, but Wei Rong might not.
Right, the Amethyst Trading Company. Lu Yin suddenly remembered. Since his secret had been made public, he could contact them to investigate.
Lu Yin disappeared and reappeared at the top floor of the Amethyst Trading Company.
Zi Xianxian was not surprised to see Lu Yin here. "We don't know much about the border wars in the Endless Weaves, so there's no need to ask."
Lu Yin glanced at the pink sofa; it was always so eye-catching every time he came here. "Let's not ask about that. I want to ask how much you know about the Innerverse."
Zi Xianxian's eyes lit up. "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Yin answered, "You know."
Zi Xianxian shook her head and widened her eyes. "I don't know."
Lu Yin looked at her. "How much do you know about the Ten Arbiters?"
Zi Xianxian leaned forward and stared at Lu Yin. "You want to ask which Arbiter proposed the trial of the Lu surname, right?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Zi Xianxian sighed. "The Hall of Honor really treats you well. Your question is basically admitting that Wei Rong's investigation is true. Even so, the Hall of Honor still supports you so much. How did you do it?"
"I'm buying information from you, so there's no need for you to provide it," Lu Yin said. Although Qian Yan and the other pirates had a lot of information, they were not on the same level as the Amethyst Trading Company. They could investigate the dark side of the Outerverse, but they could not enter the Innerverse. Otherwise, they would not be pirates.
Zi Xianxian was helpless. "Sorry, I don't know."
Lu Yin was not disappointed. "Can you investigate?"
Zi Xianxian shook her head. "You can't investigate the matters of the Ten Arbiters. You should know that the names of the Ten Arbiters cannot be announced to the public, let alone the things that they have done."
Lu Yin turned to leave.
"Wait," Zi Xianxian called out. "Don't be in such a hurry. Although I can't find anything, I can analyze it for you." She then gestured for Lu Yin to sit down. "Have some tea."
Lu Yin nodded and sat down.
Zi Xianxian poured Lu Yin a cup — a pink drink...... Didn't she say tea?
Where is the tea?
Zi Xianxian took a sip of her drink and licked her red lips. "The current Ten Arbiters are made up of ten different individuals who are invincible. Some of them are straightforward, some of them are gloomy, some of them like to meddle in other people's business, some of them have pure hearts and few desires, and some of them have eccentric personalities. It won't be difficult to find someone who will take the initiative to judge you, and I have a few candidates in mind."
Lu Yin looked at her. "You know about the Ten Arbiters?"
"I don't know, but my Amethyst Trading Company has analyzed their personalities, which is top secret. So …" Zi Xianxian raised a finger. "100,000 star essence. No bargaining."
Lu Yin was shocked. "That many?"
"Do you want it?"
Zi Xianxian was confident. She would not forget how Deng Pu had ignored her when she had wanted to take the initiative to tell him. Women held grudges. After being disgusted once, she would definitely get it back.
Lu Yin had indeed been disgusted. His money was not just money, but also a guarantee of his strength. However, when he saw Zi Xianxian's smug expression, Lu Yin felt helpless. "Go ahead."
Zi Xianxian was proud. She should not have told anyone about the Ten Arbiters' top secrets, but now that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, there was no point in keeping these secrets a secret. "I can tell you, but I'll say this first: I won't be a taboo."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed.
Zi Xianxian solemnly said, "These are the rules. Even if the Innerverse and Outerverse are separated, we can reveal some secrets, but at the very least, we must abide by the rules. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future. When the Sea King stole pyrolyte, he thought that he had done it flawlessly, but he was still discovered by the Starsibyl Sect. This is the cycle of karma. Don't ignore it."
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, go on."
Zi Xianxian took another sip of her juice. "The first suspect is a scholar. Scholars always have many thoughts and follow certain rules. Since ancient times, there have been many scholars who have admonished others, so it is not surprising that they proposed a trial."
Lu Yin nodded, as he knew who it was.
"Although this scholar doesn't seem to have any conflicts with you on the surface, there are times when his righteousness flares up, and he acts like a lunatic. He'll judge anyone he doesn't like, which is very normal. One year, he proposed a trial for more than ten people, but none of those trials had anything to do with him. According to our analysis, he just doesn't like the look of it."
Lu Yin raised his brows.
"The second suspect is from an ancient and powerful clan. They have two words for their surname, and they're arrogant and conceited. They don't put anyone in their eyes, and they're the type who bites at people for no reason. If you don't bow and flatter him when you meet him, he'll think that you're being disrespectful. He's a gloomy person who looks down on the world, so it's not surprising that he proposed a trial."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as he knew who it was.
"The third suspect is also from an ancient and powerful clan. He likes the color white and is obsessed with cleanliness. At first glance, he looks like a god, and his innate gift is just like a god's. He's full of dignity, and this sort of person doesn't allow even a speck of dirt to exist. An illegal primeval surname is a stain on the universe, so it's normal for him to propose a trial."
Lu Yin frowned, and the figure from the Daosource Sect's ruins appeared in his mind.
"The fourth suspect is someone who has killed many people." Fear flashed through Zi Xianxian's eyes when she mentioned this person. "This person has a carefree personality and is afraid of trouble. He keeps saying that he doesn't like killing people, so when he attacks, he often destroys entire planets. That way, no one will be able to see the dead, as everyone will be reduced to nothingness."
Lu Yin was shocked; this was one of the Ten Arbiters that he was unfamiliar with.
"This Ten Arbiters has a special characteristic." Zi Xianxian's gaze turned serious, and there was a trace of confusion in her voice. "He can't be attacked."
"He can't be attacked?
What do you mean? "Lu Yin was stunned.
Zi Xianxian shook her head. "I don't know, but he can't be attacked, as any attack will be reduced to nothingness. According to our analysis, it should be an innate gift, but no one has been able to confirm what it is. This person seems casual, but he's actually ruthless and merciless. The reason he's suspicious is because it's rumored that this person's ancestor was once insulted by an expert with a primeval surname, which is why he hates them so much."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought.
Zi Xianxian stood up. "Alright, I've told you about the four suspects. It looks like you should know about the first three. It's very likely that they were the ones who proposed the Trial of Lu."
Lu Yin suddenly asked, "Are there any of the Ten Arbiters who have connections with the Cosmic Sea's Four Hegemons?"
Zi Xianxian was puzzled. "Why are you asking this?
I don't think so. I'll have to look into this. "
"I'll wait for your results." Lu Yin stood up, paid the bill, and left.
He had not forgotten what Old Gu De had told him. Big Sis and the others were from Leon's Armada, and anyone who dared to hunt them down and had a conflict with them was definitely someone from the Cosmic Sea. Old Gu De had also said that this person was from one of the Four Hegemons. As long as he could find out which of the Ten Arbiters had connections with the Four Hegemons, then that person would most likely be the one who proposed the Trial of Lu.
Zi Xianxian looked at the empty chair. "The Cosmic Sea's Four Hegemons?"
The Western Weaves were preparing for the border war in the Endless Weaves. The Hall of Honor was being very cautious, which was incomprehensible.
In the past, the Technocracy had frequently invaded the Outerverse, but the Hall of Honor had never been so cautious.
For several days, the Outerverse's network was reporting on the border war, encouraging cultivators to participate in it. the border war..
Reports of the war in Armament Weave could no longer be seen.
Lu Yin had met Xiao Ya once. During this war, he had been completely defeated by Wei Rong in terms of the media, and he had been forced into a passive position. Wei Rong had not controlled the media's power, but rather had borrowed it.
Any news that Wei Rong released would be spread by the media at an extremely fast speed. In this aspect, Lu Yin had not found a way to deal with Wei Rong.
He needed the media's right to speak, and it was not just limited to the Great Eastern Alliance.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he needed to expand his influence if he wanted to control the media. Otherwise, even if he established a local media outlet, it would be useless if he did not have enough support.
If he wanted to expand, he needed the media's influence, but if the media wanted to have influence, they needed to expand as well. This was a question of whether the chicken would lay the egg, and the egg would lay the chicken. The only solution was to be like Wei Rong and borrow the media's power instead of completely controlling it.
Only the Hall of Honor could completely control the media.
Although Lu Yin had the head referee's warrant, it was unrealistic for him to rely on it to command the Hall of Honor. Unless he also had a power level of 300,000 and was on the same level as Elder Lohar, he would not be able to do so. In the end, an external item was still an external item, and one's own strength was the absolute truth.
"Your Highness, Bei Qing requests an audience," Kayze.
Lu Yin let Bei Qing enter.
Bei Qing respectfully replied, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"What's the matter?"
Bei Qing asked. "Your Highness, you originally planned to hold an auction once every three months, but four months have already passed."
Lu Yin suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about it. "Right, I forgot. Alright, I'll auction off some items for you right now."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Actually, I'm here for another matter." Bei Qing carefully looked at Lu Yin and continued, "There are some things that cannot be seen in public that I'd like to ask if Your Highness can auction them off."
"Things that cannot be seen in public?" Lu Yin was puzzled. What could be more shameful than pyrolyte?
Bei Qing explained the origins of the items to Lu Yin, and Lu Yin suddenly understood. So that's how it was.
Some of these items had very obvious symbols of their families or powers, and some people did not dare to openly sell them for fear of being found out. Thus, they wanted to use the mainland's auction houses to sell them. These items were classified as items that could not be seen in public, and whoever sold them would offend those powers.
Lu Yin said, "Buy those items and then sell them back to their original owners at a high price."
Bei Qing was shocked. "Your Highness, won't that offend them?"
Lu Yin did not care. "It's not like we're the ones who stole or robbed them. We're just helping them find their lost items, so shouldn't we ask for something in return?"
Bei Qing understood. They would purchase the items at a low price and then sell them back to their original owners at a high price. A normal person would naturally not dare to do so, as the original owners would immediately exterminate them. However, they were the mainland's auction houses, and the original owners could only swallow their pride and even thank them.
"The video of the transaction must be kept so that no one can bite back. Also, if there are any particularly valuable items, keep them," Lu Yin said.
"Rest assured, Your Highness. I know what to do."
"Go back for now. Come back at this time tomorrow, and I'll give you some items."
Bei Qing was delighted and excused himself.
