Chapter 717: Late Clues

The Ten Arbiters, Old Gu De, and the Leo family. For someone to gather all of these powers together meant that they possessed an ability that surpassed Lu Yin’s imagination. 

“Who is that person?” Lu Yin stared at Old Gu De.

Old Gu De smiled bitterly. “It’s no wonder why you hate me so much that you forced me into such desperate circumstances. You tortured me, burned my son alive, and put me through the pain of not being able to rescue someone dear to me. Lu Yin, you’ve acted right, and you’ve done well. You’ve tortured me to your heart’s content, so now it’s my turn. I won’t tell you who it was. You can only go and find out yourself! Hahaha!”

Lu Yin stepped on Old Gu De’s arm and broke it. His expression was absolutely glacial.

Old Gu De howled with laughter. “I’ll tell you this—that person is someone from the Cosmic Sea, but I won’t tell you the rest! You can go and search, but in the end, you’ll only find hopelessness, hahaha!” Old Gu De then spat out a mouthful of blood as he killed himself. 

Lu Yin stared at Old Gu De’s corpse while he contemplated what he had just been told.

Yan Yan and the Limiteer Mistchild waited nearby, but they did not approach, and neither did they make any sounds.

The fact that the mysterious person was from the Cosmic Sea might leave Lu Yin desperate, as it meant that their pursuers back then had been one of the four pirate crews. Only they possessed enough strength to render the current Lu Yin helpless. 

Old Gu De definitely did not know what Big Sis’s origins were, or else he would not have dared to intentionally stall the Ark at that time. Leon’s Armada was fully worthy of its position as a top overlord of the Cosmic Sea, and while Lu Yin could not take revenge, Leon’s Armada was different. It was a pity that Old Gu De had not specified which crew it had been. 

It had definitely been one of the Four Pirate Crews. Lu Yin was certain of that, as only they would dare to challenge Leon’s Armada. 

This incident involved the Cosmic Sea’s internal power struggle, where any large crew would have the strength to challenge the Daynight clan. The battles there were always very cruel. 

The planet gradually thawed, but it’s temperature had already dropped significantly, and snow began to drift down from the sky. 

Some distance away, Old Gu De’s spacecraft was still burning, and the 3,000 plus cultivators had all fled in different directions out of fear of being slaughtered. 

Lu Yin had no plans to kill these people. Although they had indeed once acted like tyrants when they worked aboard the Astral River Ark, that did not necessitate their deaths, and he was not some warrior of justice either. 

The bespectacled Mistchild moved over behind Lu Yin and then cautiously said, “Your Highness, I’ve searched through the spacecraft, and Old Gu De was not hiding anything else.”

Lu Yin glanced at the man’s corpse. “Burn it.”

Yan Yan raised a hand, and an inferno descended that completely burned Old Gu De’s corpse to ashes.

“Let’s return to Zenyu Star,” Lu Yin said calmly. After exacting this bit of revenge, although he felt very carefree, he was not much happier, especially after learning more about the people who had been behind the scenes. This was actually an emotional burden on Lu Yin, as the Innerverse was currently being invaded by the Sixth Mainland. He had no way of knowing how Leon’s Armada would fare in the invasion, or how Big Sis and the others were at the moment. 

Although he had not met Highsage Leon himself, Lu Yin had a good opinion of the man. This was because he had made a promise to Lu Yin a while ago. ‘Kid, you can do whatever you want and offend whoever you want. If anyone tries to bully you, I’ll back you up. Remember, I got your back.’ It had been crude, but also very down-to-earth. The promise had made Lu Yin feel warm, and even at this moment, it made him feel like he was being protected. 

He hoped that Leon’s Armada would be alright, as the current him could not do anything for them. 

On Zenyu Star, En Ya and Hill Auna welcomed the Vastdearth Sect’s Elder Huaqiao. During the process of establishing the Great Eastern Alliance, the Vastdearth Sect had always been a little more difficult to work with. First, it had collaborated with the Daynight clan and Xun family, then with Darkstar Gorge, and after joining the Great Eastern Alliance, it had tried to unite the other alliance members to force the Great Yu Empire into a difficult position. Lu Yin was not very fond of these people, and neither was En Ya, but they would not reveal their dissatisfaction. 

“Elder Huaqiao, welcome to Zenyu Star,” En Ya said pleasantly.

Hua Qiao nodded. He looked up and then sighed. “In the end, I still came. His Highness the Royal Regent’s methods and courage are quite admirable.”

Hill Auna smiled. “Elder Huaqiao must be tired. We have already arranged quarters for you to rest in. Please.”

The elder nodded and then left without speaking any further.

“It seems that this Vastdearth Sect won’t give up. Meng Tianlong is reportedly maintaining a vigil outside of Elder Meng Qing’s door, waiting for him to awaken.” Hill Auna was unhappy with the man’s attitude. 

En Ya’s eyes radiated a certain coldness. “Meng Qing is an Enlighter, and if he awakens, things will indeed become a little troublesome.”

“Has His Highness made any arrangements?” Hill Auna asked.

En Ya shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

Some hours later, a spacecraft appeared and docked at the space station. It was not from another weave, as it was actually one of the Great Yu Empire’s own vessels that came from Zenyu Star.

When it appeared, En Ya arranged her expression, as the people from Shenwu Continent had arrived. 

En Ya valued Shenwu Continent because it was the home of Lu Yin’s most important person. 

There was no way that Shenwu Continent could send out Ming Yan at this time, and all the other members of the Ming Family had been eliminated. As such, the person who had been sent out this time was Bei Hong, someone who En Ya felt surprised to see. 

Bei Hong had been a military advisor when Ming Zhaotian had been the emperor, and logically, he should have been taken care of by Ming Zhaoshu. There had been reports long ago that he had been killed, and no one had expected that he would suddenly appear as Shenwu Continent’s representative for the Alliance Conference. His arrival caused En Ya to feel surprised. 

Behind Bei Hong stood a young man who looked around with curiosity. He was Bei Qing.

Shenwu Continent had gradually developed more connections with the outside universe, though they still could not freely enter the universe due to the five sealing planets. Hunters in the space station above the continent had to help whenever someone wanted to leave the continent and enter the Outerverse. 

Shenwu Continent had joined the Great Eastern Alliance, which naturally meant that it was under Lu Yin’s protection. This meant that even the Daynight clan members in the space station did not dare to act against the continent any longer.

Only by leaving Shenwu Continent could one appreciate the vastness of the universe. Bei Qing’s eyes lit up as he looked all about. This was all too mysterious, and he had clearly traveled far from home. 

“Welcome to Zenyu Star, Lord Bei Hong.” En Ya welcomed the two men with a smile.

Beside her, Hill Auna also greeted them. Although he was the minister for foreign affairs, he was still second to En Ya when it came to matters related to the Great Eastern Alliance, and he was very clear where his position was.

Bei Hong courteously replied to En Ya, saying, “I’m sorry to trouble Lady En Ya to welcome us personally. I cannot bear to cause you such an inconvenience.”

En Ya smiled. “His Highness is currently in seclusion. Lord Bei Hong must be tired. Please go rest first and wait for the Alliance Conference to begin in a few days.”

Bei Hong nodded, as this was not a suitable place for a serious discussion. He suddenly looked at Bei Qing. “Unfilial son, quickly greet Lady En Ya and Lord Hill Auna.”

Bei Qing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two officials.

En Ya smiled. “This must be Bei Qing. His Highness has mentioned you to me, and I’ve looked forward to meeting you.”

Bei Qing was stunned. “He mentioned me? Does His Highness the Royal Regent know me?”

En Ya smiled, but she did not answer. Instead, she instructed people to bring Shenwu Continent’s entourage to a place to rest.

On their way to their quarters, Bei Qing felt lost. “How could Royal Regent Lu Yin know me?”

Bei Hong calmly replied, “How do you think His Majesty works with him? Lu Yin visited Shenwu Continent long ago, and he must have disguised himself during that time. He probably saw you at that time, and he may have even had some interactions with you, all without you knowing.” 

Bei Qing was in a daze, as how would he remember some minor coachman?

Not long after Shenwu Continent’s group arrived, the people from the Adonis Weave’s Greenpeak Gorge made their appearance. Their person in charge was Lü Ran, who was an elder from Greenpeak Gorge, as well as a Hunter. His entire body was covered in green skin, and it looked quite horrifying. 

Greenpeak Gorge’s attitude was very respectful, and there was not even a trace of shortcoming in their posture. 

En Ya and Hill Auna exchanged pleasantries with the representative before sending the group to rest. 

Neither En Ya nor Hill Auna liked Greenpeak Gorge, as this power was easily swayed. On the surface, it seemed that they had actively joined the Great Eastern Alliance, but in truth, they had agreed to cooperate with the Vastdearth Sect on the side. After they learned that the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was going to relocate its headquarters to Frostwave Weave, they had quickly put a stop to their relations with the Vastdearth Sect. They had a habit of double-crossing, which caused people to look down on them. 

Although the Vastdearth Sect had always tried to cause trouble, their actions had been done in the open while Greenpeak Gorge was different.

There were eight great weaves currently in the Alliance, and En Ya was the most wary and disdainful towards Greenpeak Gorge.

The final group to arrive was Bard Weave’s Evenground Palace. Bard Weave was the furthest weave from Frostwave Weave, and both Elder Meiya and Young Mistress Doro had made an appearance as representatives of their sect. 

They exited their spacecraft, and Doro looked around curiously—she could sense a different energy fluctuation here. At this moment, the top forces of the Great Yu Empire should have gathered on Zenyu Star, including Lu Yin, who was even able to hold his own against Enlighters. In the Outerverse, there were very few powers that could contest with the current Zenyu Star. 

Her master had to be hopping mad by now, as she had wanted to head to Frostwave Weave and play. However, she had been stopped by the various elders, though to Doro, it was all very amusing. 

However, it had been the right decision to not allow her master to go on this trip. Doro still felt a little nervous when she remembered how Mu Nichang had wanted to seduce Lu Yin. Who knew if her master truly planned on doing so, but as senseless as she was, Mu Nichang might have actually made such plans. Thus, it was rather lucky for their sect that someone else was making this trip. 

Elder Meiya led Doro to meet En Ya and the others, displaying a neutral attitude. It was not very proactive, but it was not repulsive either. 

En Ya had someone escort Elder Meiya and her group to a place to rest, and then she canceled the lockdown on the space station. The major powers had all arrived, so now, they simply had to wait for the Alliance Conference to officially convene. 

The State House was where the representatives of the visiting great powers were staying, and it had only been built a short distance away from King Zishan’s palace. It had been built in the suburbs and was located in a pleasant environment with tight security. 

As the various great powers arrived, the State House became increasingly bustling.

The place was quite large, and it had been divided into many courtyards. Each courtyard was located a fair distance from all others. However, if people wished to meet, the distance would not interfere with such activities either. 

At this Moment, Lü Ran from Adonis Weave coincidentally bumped into the Vastdearth Sect’s Elder Huaqiao. 

“Elder Huaqiao, what a coincidence, our quarters are actually nearby,” Lü Ran said with a smile.

Elder Huaqiao glanced at Lü Ran with a loathing expression. “That’s right, quite a coincidence.”

“Is Elder Huaqiao visiting next door? If I’m not wrong, next door should be the quarters that were arranged for Evenground Palace. Is Elder Huaqiao still unresigned, wanting to make things difficult for the Great Yu Empire?” Lü Ran asked in a surprise tone with a rather loud voice. 

Elder Huaqiao’s face grew extremely ugly, and he stared intently at Lü Ran. “Stop spouting nonsense. I’m just heading over to greet them.” 

Lü Ran covered his mouth and chuckled. “My apologies, I forgot that this is Zenyu Star and that there are ears all around us. Alright, Elder Huaqiao, do as you wish. I won’t accompany you any further.” And with that, he walked away with a massive grin plastered across his face. 

Hua Qiao snorted. Despicable.

He had originally planned on meeting with the people from Evenground Palace to ask for a clarification on why they had humiliated his Vastdearth Sect. However, after Lü Ran’s meddling, if he still tried to meet with them after that, his actions would likely be interpreted as his sect trying to ally with Evenground Palace. Helpless, he could only return to his own quarters. 

At this moment, he had been embarrassed by Lü Ran. 

Doro actually owed Lü Ran thanks, as if he had not interfered, the message that she had sent to the Vastdearth Sect would have absolutely been discovered by Elder Meiya and the others who made up the highest levels of Evenground Palace. It was incredibly disrespectful to send such a message to a large sect, and it was an incident that could easily lead to enmity developing between their two organizations. Although Mu Nichang had ordered Doro to send the message, who would believe such a thing? In the eyes of many elders of Evenground Palace, Mu Nichang was a very steady, aware, and mature leader. There was no way such a respectable person would give such a command, and so, the blame for the incident would definitely fall solely onto Doro’s shoulders.
