This mansion was the Wei family's escape route.
In the current universe, no one dared to say that they could exist forever. Since ancient times, many colossal entities had disappeared in the long river of history. The Wei family was very smart, and they had prepared more than one backup plan.
The path of retreat could only guarantee their safety. It would be too difficult for them to make a comeback.
The atmosphere in the residence was oppressive. Ever since the members of the Wei family had arrived, they had rarely left the residence. This was because there were many eyes staring at them from outside the door. These people were from the Great Eastern Alliance.
The Wei family was the bait, and Lu Yin would catch whoever took them in. It was precisely because he had seen through this that Wei Baichuan hadn't fled, causing Lu Yin's plan to fail.
The members of the Wei Family in Myriad City were also bait. The Great Eastern Alliance would never let them go free.
"I can't take it anymore. They've been hiding like rats all day. I'll fight them to the death!" roared one of the Wei family's youths. He wanted to charge out but was stopped by the others.
"We don't even know if the Young Master is alive or dead, and the Great Eastern Alliance didn't use the family head's life to threaten the Young Master. This is a blessing in disguise. We can't let the Great Eastern Alliance take advantage of this opportunity," the Wei Clan's elder said angrily.
The people around him lowered their heads and looked sorrowful.
The dignified Wei Clan had fallen into such dire straits.
No one knew where Wei Rong was, except for one person: Qiong Xi 'er. She was the one who had hidden Wei Rong.
Wei Rong was not as dejected as the outside world thought, and his expression was still quite good. Although the Wei Clan was in ruins, Wei Baichuan, Wei Xin 'er, and the others were still alive. Many members of the Wei Clan had hidden themselves in Myriad City. As long as he had the ability, he could rise to power at any time.
"Are you really not afraid that Lu Yin will attack the Wei family?
Your father is right under his nose, and he can exterminate him at any moment. "Qiongxi 'er glanced at Wei Rong, feeling somewhat annoyed at his calm demeanor.
Wei Rong smiled. "Lu Yin won't do that. The biggest difference between us is our bottom line. He can be ruthless enough to kill all of his enemies, but he's rarely ruthless enough to kill those who can't resist, especially when those people are still useful to him."
Qiong Xi 'er sneered. "He's still dreaming about subduing you?"
Wei Rong looked at Qiong Xi'er seriously. "You might think that it's impossible, but that might not be the case in his eyes. This is a difference in breadth of mind. He has the ambition to unify the Outerverse, so he won't be unable to tolerate a small loser like me. He's confident that he can accomplish anything, and that's a good thing." Wei Rong's lips curled up. "But it's also a bad thing.
Qiongxi 'er propped up her chin with one hand and looked at Wei Rong. "You didn't even have the ability to deal with Lu Yin when the Wei family was around, but now you're confident?"
Wei Rong shook his head. "It's not confidence, it's luck. I'm waiting for the day when his luck weakens, so I'm sorry, but I might have to hide for a very long time."
Qiong Xi 'er rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm only hiding you because I don't want you to die so early."
"You're worried that Lu Yin will target Million City, so you're just looking for someone to help you think of a solution," Wei Rong said.
Qiong Xi 'er snorted. "If you want to look for me, look for Wang Wen."
Wei Rong's eyes flashed, and he solemnly looked at Qiong Xi 'er. "It's best if you don't. Wang Wen will definitely follow Lu Yin."
"Why?"
Qiong Xi 'er was baffled. She was a genius in business and was extremely intelligent. She could stand side by side with Wei Rong and Wang Wen, but in terms of boldness and breadth of mind, she was still lacking.
Wei Rong frowned. "I don't know. I have a feeling that once Wang Wen finds out that I'm hiding in Myriad City, Lu Yin will find out as well. I have a feeling that Wang Wen will become Lu Yin's brain sooner or later."
Qiong Xi 'er facepalmed. "This is so annoying. How can such a person appear in the Outerverse? Unifying the Outerverse? Only he could think of something like that."
Wei Rong looked up at the sky. Even if Lu Yin had not appeared, he would have taken action. The Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, and this was an unprecedented opportunity.
Qiong Xi 'er was about to leave when her gadget beeped. She glanced at it, and her expression changed. "One of the Ten Arbiters has appeared."
Wei Rong was shocked. "What did you say?"
Qiong Xi 'er solemnly looked at Wei Rong. "The Ten Arbiters, the Divine Fist, has appeared. He's come to the Outerverse."
This sentence caused Wei Rong's thoughts to change. "The Innerverse and Outerverse can be connected?"
Qiong Xi 'er shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know anything. All I know is that the Divine Fist has led a group of experts to the Outerverse. Not only that, but a group of experts has also appeared in the western weaves. Rumor has it that they should be from the Sea King's Dome."
Wei Rong's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head in thought.
Qiong Xi 'er did not leave, as her heart was in a mess.
To the average person, this matter would not affect them much, but it was different for the younger generation. The Ten Arbiters were the rulers of the younger generation, and they had the authority to judge, supervise, and even punish. This was publicly acknowledged throughout the universe, and the appearance of the Ten Arbiters was like the heavens to the younger generation. Even if the Outerverse's situation had changed, the Ten Arbiters were still existences that could not be ignored. More importantly, the Ten Arbiters had brought a group of experts with them, which was the guarantee of their authority.
The two were silent for a long time.
Wei Rong let out a long breath. "Lu Yin is in trouble."
Qiong Xi 'er looked up. "The Ten Arbiters Council?"
Wei Rong nodded with a playful look in his eyes. "With the Innerverse and Outerverse separated, the Outerverse Youth Council is basically crippled. Lu Yin has appeared out of nowhere and become the number one person in the Outerverse's younger generation. Now that the Ten Arbiters have appeared, they will definitely restore the council's authority. There will definitely be a dispute between them."
At this point, Wei Rong looked at Qiong Xi 'er. "Let's get straight to the point. You're also worried that Lu Yin's ambition will grow too big and annex Myriad City, and I also hope that someone can restrain him. Since that's the case, we'll have to do something about the conflict between the Ten Arbiters and Lu Yin."
"I won't do it. Even if Lu Yin really does unify the Outerverse, it has nothing to do with Myriad City. He can't touch us."
Wei Rong's gaze turned cold. "Do you still remember what happened underground during the battle at Myriad City?"
Qiong Xi 'er's expression changed. "Everyone lost their memories."
"That's right, so you don't know what happened either. How can you be so sure that Lu Yin doesn't have a way to deal with Myriad City?" Wei Rong asked sternly.
Qiong Xi 'er stared at Wei Rong. "Don't scare me. He won't have any memories either."
Wei Rong laughed. "As long as there's even the slightest possibility, I'll kill it, especially when it's Lu Yin."
Qiong Xi 'er thought about it for a long time. "What are you planning to do?"
"We don't need to do anything for the time being. They'll face each other on their own. You can spread some news about the tragedy at East San Dios, and the Divine Fist won't remain indifferent. Whatever happens next will have nothing to do with us."
Qiong Xi 'er looked up at the sky. The Outerverse had changed yet again.
News of the Ten Arbiters' Divine Fist appearing in the Outerverse quickly spread. Most people did not even know who the Ten Arbiters were, but the Divine Fist's name was enough to shock them.
Ten days later, Lu Yin arrived at Shenwu Continent's space station. The Daynight clan had already evacuated.
During the war at Armament Weave, the Daynight clan, Sword Sect, and other Innerverse powers had all interfered. Now that Lu Yin was so powerful, they were afraid that he would settle accounts with them later.
They had finally realized that Lu Yin was someone who feared nothing, especially after the border war in Endless Weave had ended. He had started a war against Armament Weave's Wei family, and his background was frighteningly powerful. The Hall of Honor had clearly shown his support, and the Daynight clan did not dare to stay behind.
Currently, there was an unfamiliar Hunter overseeing Shenwu Continent's space station. His name was Arel, and he came from Darkmist Weave. He had personally applied to the Great Yu Empire to oversee Shenwu Continent's space station, and he had received approval from the cabinet.
Although Shenwu Continent was located in Darkmist Weave, the Great Yu Empire had the final say. This was the current power of the Great Yu Empire.
When Arel saw Lu Yin arrive, he was startled and hurriedly bowed.
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter Shenwu Continent."
"Yes, Your Highness," Arel replied respectfully.
Soon after, Lu Yin entered Shenwu Continent and appeared not too far away from Mingdu. He looked around, determined the direction, and then headed towards the city.
Within the imperial study of Mingdu's palace, Ming Yan was reading through memorials and reviewing them from time to time.
Below her, Bei Hong was standing respectfully.
After an unknown amount of time, Ming Yan finished reviewing a pile of memorials and looked up at Bei Hong.
"Act according to the memorials," Ming Yan said. Her tone was gentle, but it was much more dignified than before.
Bei Hong accepted the memorials. "Yes, Your Majesty." He then respectfully retreated.
Ming Yan had everyone else in the study leave. She tiredly propped up her chin and rubbed her head.
The sun shone in, and it was very warm.
Unknowingly, she had already been in this position for more than two years. Ever since Lu Yin had left, he had not appeared. "Have you forgotten about me?"
"No." A voice sounded from behind Ming Yan. She was shocked and turned around. When she saw Lu Yin, her eyes lit up with joy. "Brother Lu!"
Lu Yin looked at Ming Yan and hugged her. "I'm sorry. I had too many things to do and couldn't come see you."
Ming Yan blushed. She had a dual personality, and she was currently innocent. Although her two years as an empress had made her decisive and dignified, in front of Lu Yin, she reverted back to that little girl.
If not for Lu Yin, she would have broken down back then.
Only when he hugged Ming Yan did Lu Yin feel complete. Although he had not seen this woman much, she held an extremely important place in his heart.
Ming Yan quietly lay in Lu Yin's embrace with her eyes closed. Only in this person's embrace could she feel at ease and let go of everything.
There was no need for words. A hug was enough to feel the other person's feelings.
Lu Yin lowered his head and kissed Ming Yan. Suddenly, a cold gaze focused on them, and Ming Yan's hair turned white. "How dare you! Do you think I won't bury you?"
Lu Yin subconsciously let go and coughed.
Ming Yan snorted and stared at him. "If you dare to be rude again, I'll bury you."
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "You can't beat me."
Ming Yan raised her brows. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin laughed dryly. "Nothing. Um, aren't you supposed to come out at night?"
Ming Yan coldly replied, "She's too weak. She can't even resist you. Who knows what you'll do? You have ulterior motives."
Lu Yin was speechless.
The white-haired Ming Yan frowned and sniffed hard. She then looked at Lu Yin's cosmic ring. "Do you have that kind of poison?"
Lu Yin did not understand. "What poison?"
"The poison that turned me into this," she said expectantly.
