Shanghuan Bai Ye sternly replied, "Alliance Master Lu, you'd best think this through. No one dares to covet our Daynight clan's battle techniques. Even when our inheritance stone was lost in the Outerverse, no one dared to hide it. In the end, we obediently returned it. This is the Daynight clan's bottom line. If anyone dares to touch it, even if it's the Hall of Honor, the Daynight clan will not let this slide."
"Back then?
Yeah, it's been almost ten years. Qingyu Daynight stole the inheritance stone and fled to the Outerverse. Is that what happened? "
Shanghuan Bai Ye stared at Lu Yin and suddenly recalled something. "Back then, Qingyu Daynight fled to Frostwave Weave. Alliance Master Lu was born there, so it's not strange for you to know. Since you know, then you should understand our Daynight clan's temper. I advise you not to covet our clan's battle techniques."
Lu Yin continued to shake the cup, causing a drop of water to splash out. He blew on it, and the water was pushed by an invisible force and smashed into Shanghuan Bai Ye's chest. Shanghuan Bai Ye was caught off guard and was hit hard. His chest hurt, and just as he was about to retaliate, Lu Yin stepped forward and stepped on him. He leaned down and said coldly, "Even if Nightqueen Qiuyu was in front of me today, I would still ask her about the secrets of the Daynight clan's battle techniques, let alone you. I'll give you one more chance to tell me. Otherwise, I'll let you know the consequences."
Shanghuan Bai Ye was terrified, and he was already regretting his decision to seek out this person. This person was a madman who feared no one.
Not long after, Lu Yin walked out. "Lock him up."
"Yes, Your Highness," Bei Qing answered.
Lu Yin walked out of the auction house, deep in thought. He hadn't been able to find out the secrets of the Daynight clan's battle techniques. It wasn't that Shanghuan Bai Ye hadn't told him, but that even Lu Yin himself didn't know. All he knew was that any battle technique learned from the inheritance stone contained spiritual force attacks, but he didn't know the principles behind it or how to cultivate it.
The inheritance stone had come from the Daynight clan's ancestor, and it was said that only members of the Daynight clan could obtain the inheritance. However, during Earth's trial, Lulu, Xia Luo, and even Lu Yin himself had obtained some. This showed that the inheritance stone wasn't absolute.
It would be great if he could obtain another inheritance stone. Back then, Lu Yin had only reached the edge of the inheritance corridor. If he was given another chance, he would definitely be able to go far.
This Upper Ring White Night had come to threaten him in order to obtain cultivation resources.
The Daynight clan had always been high up in the Innerverse, and they had never needed to worry about resources for their cultivation. Their cultivation speed had always been very fast, but now that they had been stranded in the Outerverse, they didn't even have a lot of star crystals, much less star essence. Thus, they had set their sights on the mainland's auction house to make a fortune, but Lu Yin wasn't afraid.
He had also found out where the disciples were locked up. Bei Qing would deal with it.
"Your Highness, this person won't appear again," Bei Qing whispered from behind Lu Yin.
Lu Yin asked, "There are still two months left until the Premium Auction. Are there many people from the Great Eastern Alliance's weave participating in the auction?"
Bei Qing replied, "There aren't many, but every time there's an auction, there will always be someone from the leading faction present."
"This time, I'm giving you some new things. Help me advertise to the powers in the Great Eastern Alliance. They're the main consumer group." Lu Yin then sent Bei Qing a few routes that he had carefully selected. These routes were beneficial to the people's livelihood, transportation, and other industries, and had nothing to do with the military.
These new routes could save a lot of time. Time was money, and Lu Yin believed that these routes would be enough to cause a sensation.
Lu Yin's guess was correct. When the mainland's auction house announced that a new route would be auctioned in two months, the Outerverse went into an uproar.
Countless people looked over, curious as to what the new routes would be.
The central weaves were even more nervous, as they were afraid that the Great Eastern Alliance would have a new route to their territory. That way, not only would they be able to quickly dispatch troops, but they would also be able to conceal themselves.
They had tried their best to find out, but they had not been able to find out what the new routes were.
Elsewhere, the Hall of Honor's investigation into the Amethyst Trading Company had been completed. The Zi family had no relationship with the Neohuman Alliance, and it was Zi Rong who had cooperated with the Neohuman Alliance.
When the news came out, countless people from the Amethyst Trading Company heaved sighs of relief.
Ever since Lu Yin had caused a ruckus at Zi Rong's wedding and exposed Zi Rong's true identity, the Amethyst Trading Company had been under investigation by the Hall of Honor. During this time, nearly half of the Amethyst Trading Company's branches in the Outerverse had closed down, and everyone was spreading the news that the company was about to close down.
The company's share price continued to plummet, which affected countless people and caused them to go bankrupt overnight.
Lu Yin's shares in Zenyu Star's Amethyst Trading Company had also become worthless.
Although the Hall of Honor was no longer investigating the Amethyst Trading Company, this matter would not be forgotten so easily. It was a fact that Zi Rong had cooperated with the Neohuman Alliance, and during this time, the Zi family had been silent. All of their competitors that had been suppressed had surfaced and hit them while they were down. The Zi family's intelligence network had been completely suppressed, and the production lines that the Amethyst Trading Company controlled, as well as the places where they had originated, had all been destroyed.
The Zi family's reputation plummeted, and they had once been one of the four major corporations and the Outerverse's largest intelligence network.
It would have been fine if it had only been a drop in status, but the universe was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. When the Zi family had been at its peak, they had offended many people, and many viewed them as mortal enemies. Now, all of those people had appeared, and there was no lack of powerhouses among them.
Skylush Planet began to suffer frequent attacks, and even with an Enlighter like Mister Yi, they could not stop the momentum. Everyone knew that the only way to defeat the Zi family was now. The longer they waited, the more the Zi family would recover. As one of the four major corporations, they had a deep foundation and would not be easy to deal with.
On Skylush Planet, Mister Yi soared into the sky with an ugly expression.
In the Zi family's ancestral home, Zi Tianchuan frowned. He had just received news that yet another intelligence network had been destroyed.
"Father, we can't wait any longer. Please ask Senior Li to wake up. As long as Senior leaves the universe, even the Hall of Honor will fear him, let alone those small fries," Zi Fang said anxiously.
Zi Xianxian immediately replied, "We can't. During the border war, the Hall of Honor forcefully recruited all of the experts, and we purposely hid Senior Li's existence. If we ask Senior Li to come out now, even if we resolve this crisis, the Hall of Honor will remember us, which will be detrimental to our future."
"But if we don't get through this crisis, we won't have any future!" Zi Fang raged.
"With Mister Yi around, who in the Outerverse can destroy our Zi family?
All of the experts have been transferred to the border, and the strongest experts that those small fries can send are only Hunters. Our Zi family can protect ourselves, "Zi Xianxian retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"Protect ourselves, protect ourselves. You only know how to protect yourself. Our Zi family is one of the four major corporations and the strongest intelligence network in the Outerverse. Losing this means losing everything."
"We can start all over again. If the Hall of Honor remembers us, even if the four major corporations work together, it won't be easy for us."
"The Hall of Honor won't interfere with us."
"They have their own representatives. Isn't Lu Yin one of them?" Zi Xianxian shouted.
Zi Fang
Tian Chuan's body trembled, and Zi Fang unconsciously clenched his fists. He then slowly relaxed them, and a bone-deep hatred appeared in his eyes.
It was all Lu Yin's fault that the Zi family had fallen to such a state. If he hadn't stirred things up, the Zi family wouldn't have ended up like this.
At that moment, Mister Yi landed and tiredly said, "It's fine for now. With me around, they won't dare to act rashly. However, I can only protect Heavenly Lush Planet. I can't do anything else."
Zi Fang gritted his teeth. "My Amethyst Trading Company's intelligence network in the Outerverse has almost been wiped out. It's all Lu Yin's fault."
Everyone fell silent.
Mister Yi wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
Zi Tianchuan saw this, and his heart skipped a beat. "Does Mister Yi have something to say?"
Mister Yi sat down. "Actually, the Zi family shouldn't blame Lu Yin. In fact, we should thank him."
Zi Fang was furious. "You want us to thank him?
If it weren't for him, our Zi family would still be one of the four major corporations. Those people outside wouldn't even dare to approach us. No, they wouldn't even get close to us before they were discovered. Their every move was under our watch, and now, they're all gone. "
"Shut up and let Mister Yi finish speaking!" Zi Tianchuan shouted angrily.
Zi Fang wasn't satisfied, and he snorted.
Zi Tianchuan apologized. "Mister Yi, please don't take offense."
Mister Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. "Actually, have you thought about this? Lu Yin only exposed Zi Rong's identity, and he didn't force Zi Rong to cooperate with the Neohuman Alliance. If he hadn't exposed Zi Rong, who in the Zi family would have been able to stop him when he became an Enlighter in the future?
Even if they could, would the Hall of Honor let the Zi family off so easily? "
Mister Yi glanced at the crowd and continued, "The Zi family is the largest intelligence organization in the Outerverse, and it's extremely important. Would the Hall of Honor believe that one of their own had become a Corpse King?
They would only think that the Zi family was covering for them, and they might even help them hide the truth. At that time, forget about investigating, what awaits the Zi family would be a palm strike from Master Yuan. I don't know what price the family head paid this time to convince the Hall of Honor that the Zi family is innocent, but once Zi Rong becomes an Enlighter, then any price will be useless. Don't forget how Lu Yin overthrew Darkstar Gorge. "
Zi Tianchuan and the other two turned pale. Mister Yi was right. The Hall of Honor's attitude towards the Neohuman Alliance was that they would rather kill the innocent than let them off. Master Yuan was the most terrifying person in the Outerverse, and he was one of the Hall of Honor's hidden powerhouses. No one doubted his strength, and even a sneeze from him would be enough to destroy the Zi family, let alone a palm strike.
"Lu Yin coincidentally exposed Zi Rong's true identity, which is actually beneficial to the Zi family. The Zi family is not Darkstar Gorge, and the Hall of Honor will listen to our explanations for now. But as time goes on, they won't listen to our explanations, and they might just destroy us like they did to Darkstar Gorge," Mister Yi said.
Zi Tianchuan looked at Mister Yi. "Mister, do you have any suggestions?
Feel free to speak. "
Mister Yi thought about it and then seriously replied, "It's not that the Zi family doesn't have a chance, but that chance lies in Lu Yin's hands."
"What do you mean?" Zi Tianchuan asked.
Mister Yi explained, "Lu Yin's ambitions are too great, and he wants to unify the Outerverse. Although this has exposed his ambitions, it also shows that he's tolerant and has good foresight. Information is what he needs, and as long as he's willing to help the Amethyst Trading Company, the Great Eastern Alliance's influence, which covers a third of the Outerverse, and Lu Yin's background in the Hall of Honor, the Zi family won't be affected."
Zi Tianchuan fell silent.
Zi Fang angrily said, "If that's the case, then why don't we just ask the Hall of Honor for help?"
