Lu Yin did not stand on ceremony, as he had caused the death of Zi Tianchuan's son. He did not expect Zi Tianchuan to be truly grateful to him; all he wanted was information. "Please lead the way, Director Zi. I want to look through the information as soon as possible."
Zi Tianchuan nodded, as he did not want to stay with Lu Yin either. After giving some instructions, Zi Xianxian led the way to the most heavily guarded area of Planet Tianmao, a valley.
Lu Yin had noticed it the last time he had been here; this place contained a boundless amount of rune lines, and Mister Yi spent most of his time guarding this place.
Zi Xianxian led the way, and the two of them arrived underground.
Lu Yin finally understood what it meant to be vast when he saw the intelligence vault.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was filled with information. Some were divided by territory, while others were divided by color. It was easy to determine the level of the information vault.
"My Zi family's intelligence vault is the most comprehensive in the Outerverse, and there are always new reports coming in. There are also people who are constantly deleting useless information, but even if the information is deleted, we still have backup copies. It can be said that as long as the Zi family has existed, the information has been accumulated. This place is even older than the historical records of many places," Zi Xianxian said proudly, as this was the pride of the Zi family.
Not just anyone could store information for so long. There were ancient intelligence organizations among the various powers that had attacked the Zi family, but they had been destroyed after losing the competition.
"If this place is breached, it will take a long time to move all this information," Lu Yin praised.
Zi Xianxian was speechless; this guy really did not know how to talk.
"Where is the information on the Ten Arbiters?" Lu Yin asked.
Zi Xianxian was not surprised, as she knew that this was what Lu Yin cared about the most. She quickly led him to a protruding area on the ground, and as the ground glowed, the protruding stone carried the two of them through the air. It took them a full five minutes before they stopped.
This was a very long distance, which showed just how large the intelligence vault was.
Lu Yin looked at the dark-colored scroll in the distance and slowly walked over.
Zi Xianxian stood in place, as she did not have the authority to look at the information on the Ten Arbiters.
The information on the Ten Arbiters was listed separately. The Ten Arbiters were the titles given to the current ten members of the Youth Council. The previous members did not have the qualifications to become the Ten Arbiters, as this was a change in the times.
This meant that the current Ten Arbiters were the first generation, but they might also be the last generation. No one could guarantee that someone would take their place.
Lu Yin raised his hand and took out a scroll. He slowly opened it, and a name. Liu Tianmu's name.
Lu Yin was puzzled; what a familiar name.
'Liu Tianmu, female, one of the Ten Arbiters. People call her Mu Arbiter, and she comes from the Sword Sect. Her sword skills are peerless, and she has inherited the Thirteen Swords …'
It was a very short introduction. There was no image, and there was no description of this person's appearance or personality. It only pointed out his background and famous skills.
When Lu Yin saw Liu Tianmu's name, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He recalled that when he had first spoken to Madam Nalan, she had introduced herself as Liu Fuxue. Lu Yin had also called himself Drifting Clouds Snow, and the taste of the world had been boiled into tea. She had followed up with a name, which was Liu Tianmu.
Lu Yin tried his best to recall what he had said back then.
Oh, that's right, Sirius is scattered, Su like Qiu Mu. This is my interpretation of Liu Tianmu's name back then.
No wonder Madam Nalan was smiling so happily. It was as if her evil scheme had succeeded. So, she had been waiting for this.
He had been deciphering the names of the Sword Sect's Ten Arbiters. No wonder, no wonder.
Lu Yin was speechless. Madam Nalan must have relayed his words to Liu Tianmu, but she had already said such things before even meeting him. Was this considered flirting?
He nervously put down the scroll and picked up the second one. The name that entered his eyes was Wen Sansi.
"Wen Sansi, male, one of the Ten Arbiters. Known as the Scholar, he can also be called Arbiter Wen. He is the second son of the Wen family from the Erudite Flowzone and has suppressed the eldest. He has inherited the Wen family's battle technique — Literary Prison. Their catchphrase — Think thrice before you act …"
There was more information on Wen Sansi than on Liu Tianmu. Wen Sansi's reputation in the universe was great, and many people knew of him.
Lu Yin picked up the third scroll and saw that the name was Xing Kai.
"Xing Kai, male, one of the Ten Arbiters. Known as the War King, he can also be called Arbiter Xing. His physical body is extremely powerful and cannot be fought in close combat. He is three meters tall and his ears reach his shoulders. His hands are larger than his head. His origins and battle techniques are unknown …"
There was only a description of the War King's appearance, but there was no description of his origins or battle techniques.
The Amethyst Trading Company was the largest intelligence organization in the Outerverse, so how could they not know about the War King's origins?
Lu Yin did not believe it. Either there was a lack of records or the War King was hiding something.
Regardless of which reason it was, Lu Yin could not find anything here.
When he opened the next scroll, he saw Lan Si's name.
"Lan Si, male, one of the Ten Arbiters. Known as the Hand of God, he can also be called Arbiter Lan. He comes from Mt. Zhishan Dojo in the Starfall Sea's Grayweed Continent. He specializes in the Overlaying Stacks Path and once used a hundred stacks to shatter a planet. It is speculated that the Overlaying Stacks Path is part of his preparation for cultivating some sort of battle technique …"
Lu Yin's expression turned serious, as he was very concerned about the words "preparation." The Amethyst Trading Company would not have written such a speculation for no reason. If they had written it down, then it might be true.
Did Lan Si still have some hidden techniques that had not been revealed?
Right, Zi Xianxian seemed to have mentioned this as well, saying that Lan Si might have some hidden battle techniques.
Lu Yin put down the scroll with a heavy heart. He had agreed to fight with Lan Si, and they would definitely fight in the future. Back at the Grayweed Continent, he had thought that Lan Si's methods had already been exposed. After all, he had faced the Realmling, Bai Ling, and the Red Madam. He had not expected that Lan Si would still be hiding something.
What was this person thinking?
He coveted the position of the Glory Arbiter. Was he really that confident that the Innerverse and Neoverse would not be broken through by the Sixth Mainland?
If that was the case, then it was understandable that Lan Si was hiding his methods.
But where did this confidence come from?
Lu Yin really wanted to know.
His current foundation was in the Outerverse, and he knew too little about the Innerverse and Neoverse. Unfortunately, it would be great if he could go to the Cosmic Sea, where Highsage Leon would definitely know a lot.
Lu Yin shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He picked up the next scroll: Spirit Palace.
"Spirit Palace. Gender unknown. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as the White Knight, also known as Ling Jue. Born from the Lingling clan. Extremely talented. Catchphrase: This is an order.
Lu Yin found it funny when he saw the words "gender unknown." The Amethyst Trading Company's information network was indeed very careful. Many people believed that Spirit Palace was definitely a man, and even the voice was male. However, that was all a disguise, as she was actually a woman. They would not write anything without seeing her with their own eyes. It was no wonder why they were known as the Outerverse's largest information network.
Since they were so careful, Lu Yin looked at the next scroll. The introduction of Lan Si should be true as well!
The Amethyst Trading Company did not know as much about Spirit Palace as Lu Yin did. After all, they were just an Outerverse corporation that did not have the qualifications to contact the Ten Arbiters. It was already amazing that they knew so much.
He picked up the next scroll and saw that it was Nightking Zhenwu.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn as he slowly opened it. "Nightking Zhenwu. Male. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as Arbiter Zhenwu. Born from the Daynight royal family. His battle techniques are unknown, and his innate gifts are unknown. He is adept at control and is extremely dangerous.
He is not to be trifled with … "
There was not much of an introduction, but there was an extremely dangerous aura that assaulted Lu Yin's senses. It was even more careful than the previous introductions of the Ten Arbiters. Two of the introductions were unknown, and the other two were not to be described. This showed just how much the person who had drafted this information network was afraid of Nightking Zhenwu.
The Daynight clan was one of the strongest clans in the universe, and the Nightking clan was the royal clan of the strongest. They were a clan that was not in a hurry to retrieve their inheritance stone even if it was lost, and they were filled with boundless confidence and arrogance.
This was Nightking Zhenwu's background.
Lu Yin put down the scroll. He and Nightking Zhenwu were enemies, not friends. He clenched the scroll so tightly that it deformed.
His battle with Lan Si had been arranged, but his future battle with Nightking Zhenwu might be a battle to the death.
Regardless of whether it was his grudge with the Daynight clan, the unfair treatment he had received in the Innerverse, or Hai Qiqi's tearful pleas after reading the diary, Lu Yin was certain that his grudge with the Daynight clan and Nightking Zhenwu would never be resolved.
He picked up the next scroll and opened it. Seven words appeared: Serati Phoenix.
"Serati Phoenix. Male. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as the Undying Bird. Hails from the Phoenix clan. His innate gift is the Undying Bird. He has evolved into the Undying Phoenix and possesses the power of nirvanic rebirth …"
Lu Yin had long since known that the Phoenix clan had a member of the Ten Arbiters, and he had also heard of this person. However, he had never thought that there would be such a thing as nirvanic rebirth. What did that mean?
Unkillable?
He did not think too much about it and picked up the next scroll. Eh?
Drunkard?
Was that a name?
"Drunkard. Female. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as Drunkard. Name unknown. Origin unknown. Extremely addicted to alcohol. Innate gift of water …"
Drunkard was the most unknown person to date, and he did not even know her name.
Lu Yin casually put down the scroll and picked up the next one. What he saw left him speechless. Could that even be called a name?
"Obscured. Male. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as Brightexecutor. Origin unknown. His eyes are always closed. Rumor has it that when he opens his eyes, the sun and moon do not shine …"
Lu Yin suddenly closed the scroll and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he recalled the figure he had encountered in the space with the golden ocean. When he opened his eyes, the sun and moon did not shine. Could that have been him?
That person had cultivated his domain to the limit and had been forced to close his eyes to suppress it. It was just like when Mister Mu had pushed his physical strength to the limit and suppressed him with three grains of Fatesand when Lu Yin had been a Limiteer.
Mister Mu had mentioned this person to him before, so it should have been him. Obscured had also been to the space with the golden ocean.
Lu Yin still remembered the helplessness he had felt when he had been suppressed by Obscured's domain. That domain was so powerful that it could even predict the future. It was too terrifying.
Lu Yin was not surprised that Obscured had been one of the Ten Arbiters. It would have been strange if he had not been one of them.
He put down the scroll and picked up the last one. Up until now, he had not found any clues. These records were too simple, and many of them were unknown.
He slowly opened the scroll, and the first thing he saw was Cocks.
"Cocks. Male. One of the Ten Arbiters. Known as Brightexecutor. He comes from the Cosmic Ocean's Sea of Snakes. He is lazy and has a casual personality, but his attacks are ruthless. He cannot be attacked, provoked, or treated as an enemy …"
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He had found it. One of the Four Arbiters of the Cosmic Ocean. This person was Cocks.
Only someone who also came from the Cosmic Ocean would have a reason to attack someone from Leon's Armada. This also confirmed what Old Gu De had said: one of the Ten Arbiters had connections with the Cosmic Ocean.
