Chapter 367: Setting Up (2/2)
This announcement caused the Nine Allied Nations to erupt with fury.
“We have fought with the Woori Weave over Shuta Planet for so many years, and now, Darkstar Gorge is trying to rely on the Outerverse Youth Council to force us to give up Shuta Planet? Impossible!”
“The Outerverse Youth Council only has the authority to oversee the younger generation. They can’t interfere in territorial disputes. How dare they ask us to give up Shuta Planet!”
“We won’t agree. Darkstar Gorge is clearly trying to steal Shuta Planet away from us.”
…
The Nine Allied Nations’s reaction was something that Darkstar Gorge expected. Puyu knew that a mere order from the Outerverse Youth Council wasn’t enough for him to gain control of Shuta Planet; however. the Nine Allied Nations were right as well. The Outerverse Youth Council didn’t have the authority to determine the training grounds of each major force, and in the past, he had only gotten Bushtree Planet by relying on Darkstar Gorge’s military power.
He knew that this was the only way to gain Shuta Planet, but then, Puyu suddenly thought of something. Was Lu Yin deliberately trying to make him fight for Shuta Planet so that he could report him to the Ten Arbiters?
The possibility frightened Puyu, so he immediately changed his command and used Lu Yin’s name to issue the order that declared Shuta Planet as a training ground for Darkstar Gorge.
Lu Yin was the person in charge of the Woori Weave, and Shuta Planet was a part of the Woori Weave, so nothing could go wrong if he issued the order in Lu Yin’s name.
Puyu smirked as he looked at the objection video that had been sent by the Nine Allied Nations. Keep objecting, whatever you do will only affect Lu Yin and not cause any problems for me.
On the other hand, Barley was very anxious and immediately went to look for Lu Yin to report the incident. “Representative Lu, we have to stop this issue from blowing up! We don’t have the right to involve ourselves in territorial disputes! This will become a huge problem if word of it gets out!”
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. Puyu wasn’t stupid and had pushed all of the blame onto Lu Yin. “Barley, publicize my suggestion that Shuta Planet should be made into a public training ground. This is being done in hopes that other parties will similarly provide other training grounds for the younger generation to enhance the power of the Human Domain’s youths and contribute to developing the strength of our future generations.”
Barley blinked in confusion. “Suggestion? Encourage? Developing the Human Domain?”
Lu Yin nodded. “That’s right, this is just my suggestion. I never specified that Shuta Planet must be the training ground for Darkstar Gorge. However, I won’t reject them if Darkstar Gorge wishes to train there. It’s as simple as that.”
Barley thought about Lu Yin’s response for a moment and then promptly understood Lu Yin’s intentions. As long as Lu Yin didn’t confirm anything, no one would be able to blame Lu Yin for this matter. At most, people would complain about him, but the Council wouldn’t be able to punish him. After all, he was just giving a suggestion for the greater good of humanity.
After Barley left, Lu Yin immediately contacted Huo Qingshan and ordered him to open up some of the more renowned training grounds in the Great Yu Empire to all members of the younger generation in Frostwave Weave.
He had to lead by example so that no one would question his reasons for issuing such an order. This way, people would at most think that Lu Yin was being inconsiderate.
Puyu was placed in a different situation altogether. Darkstar Gorge had already started threatening the Nine Allied Nations, so they couldn’t back down anymore. If they did, they would be humiliated. However, Lu Yin had never planned to use this incident to deal with Puyu; he only wanted someone else to share the Shenwu Continent’s burden.
Puyu soon learned of Lu Yin’s orders, and he didn’t get angry about the matter. His only goal had been to verify that Lu Yin wasn’t trying to trick him. Besides, Lu Yin was the one being cursed by everyone, so the only thing left for Puyu to do was take over Shuta Planet and make it the new training grounds of Darkstar Gorge, replacing Bushtree Planet.
Lu Yin's orders were soon publicized. Although the Outerverse Youth Council wasn’t a threat to the stronger Weaves, the Council of the Ten Arbiters that was supporting them was too powerful. This caused any order given by a representative or councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council to always create a huge commotion. However, this time, Lu Yin’s orders didn’t just create a stir—they created mass outrage. This was especially true of the Nine Allied Nations. At the moment, they hated Lu Yin to the core.
“How could that bastard take Shuta Planet away from us? Encourage? Encourage his head! Why didn’t he make Saint Dios a training ground instead?”
“This is too much! Let’s lodge a complaint to the Ten Arbiters Council in the Innerverse.”
“There’s no point. He’s only suggesting and encouraging. There’s no use trying to lodge a complaint against him.”
“The Great Yu Empire has already given up a few planets to be used as public training grounds. Lu Yin is such a bastard. Who the hell would go to train in the Great Yu Empire? That bastard!”
…
The Nine Allied Nations was filled with people throwing insults at Lu Yin. However, none of their insults meant anything to Lu Yin. He didn’t care about the Nine Allied Nations, or even the rest of the Darkmist Weave. The Weave was the enemy of the Shenwu Continent, and since he was planning to take control of the Shenwu Continent in the future, he would eventually become enemies with them anyways, It didn’t matter if they hated him now.
Furthermore, his new identity as a part of Leon's Armada gave Lu Yin a huge boost in morale. Although the Pirate King, Highsage Leon, was erratic, and his behavior caused him to have even more enemies, it was undeniable that he was an extremely strong backer. This gave Lu Yin the confidence to oppose even Nightking Zhenwu without worrying about the Daynight clan. This was the power that Highsage Leon’s name held.
Just like what Highsage Leon had said, “Do what you want. I’ve got your back.”
Nevertheless, the Nine Allied Nations were soon too busy to continue insulting Lu Yin as Darkstar Gorge had already sent their troops to Shuta Planet as preparatory scouts. This move caused the Nine Allied Nations to become outraged, and they definitely couldn’t allow such actions to occur. Still, they were quite clear about Darkstar Gorge’s power. They were a major force with powerhouses whose power levels exceeded 200,000, which was something that the Nine Allied Nations didn’t have.
