Chapter 497: Appearance (1/2)
“You guys, shut up.” Another fleet of vessels formed a message, this time from the Sword Sect. Apparently, they couldn’t stand looking at the scene any longer.
The Wen family and the Daynight clan were clearly fighting with the number of spaceships that they possessed. From the Sword Sect’s point of view, the other two major powers were making fools of themselves. All three of them were major organizations, so how could they accept this ridiculing act?
However, it seemed as though the Wen family had secured a decent head start. Over the next period of time, ships continued to form words high in the sky to help guide Limiteers in the right directions and evade danger. The skies above Planet Pyrolyte became quite lively, but a large number of spacecraft were consumed in the process.
Suddenly, Northcastle Weave, Frostwave Weave, and several other nearby weaves received a large number of orders for personal spacecraft. Even the Great Yu Empire received orders for an astounding number.
Gavin, the finance minister of the Great Yu Empire, was delighted. The Great Yu Empire had numerous vessels whose models had long since become obsolete stored away, and Gavin quickly arranged for all of them to be sold to Northcastle Weave. He was prepared for a windfall.
One would expect that Planet Pyrolyte would soon become a graveyard for spacecraft as countless ships continued to crash down into it.
At this time, Wen Qichen had already ordered someone to take a spacecraft and go after Ling Que. He was planning on stopping the Limiteer and telling him he was heading in the wrong direction. Wen Qian’er and the others had received a warning as well, so they had temporarily stopped moving towards Pyrolyte Lake. As long as Ling Que arrived at the lake, Pyrolyte Lake would belong to the Wen family.
Although Nightqueen Qiuyu kept sending more spacecraft down and creating more confusing words and phrases, Wen Qian’er remained steadfast and did not act. This was because the Wen family’s reinforcements had already reached Planet Pyrolyte and enlightened him on the situation. Wen Qian’er was currently scolding Ling Que to death in his heart; their forces had almost fallen for a trap and been wiped out.
The Wen family had sent at least thirty people after Ling Que in hopes of stopping him.
Lu Yin watched this grand show take place, but he soon lost all interest. Someone had come up with a strange idea, and now, countless vessels were being used to form words in the sky.
A day later, Ling Que finally sensed that something wasn’t right and came to a stop. Why haven’t I haven’t arrived at Pyrolyte Lake?
Ling Que activated his detector and tried to find some pyrolyte within the local vicinity. If there was pyrolyte, then there would definitely be people there as well. He then took off in a different direction. Though he still wasn’t running in the correct direction, at least he wasn’t running away from the lake anymore. More importantly, he was running towards some Wen family members. Also, Ling Que finally saw that there were spacecraft in the sky spelling out words. What’s going on?
Wen Qichen heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Ling Que had finally realized that something was wrong. The Wen family elder felt incredibly tired, even more exhausted than if he had fought against Nightqueen Qiuyu.
Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi were now very close to Pyrolyte Mountain. They had searched for more than a day, but they still hadn’t found Zhuo Daynight. If they drew any closer to Pyrolyte Mountain, then there was a good chance that Mu Rong would discover them. However, Lu Yin wouldn’t give up. “Qiqi, keep going.”
“Okay—wait, what did you call me? Call me Sister Qi!” Hai Qiqi shouted back.
“Freedom, entertainment.” Lu Yin lightly spoke two words in response.
Hai Qiqi obediently continued to spread her forcefield out as she searched for Zhuo Daynight.
On Pyrolyte Mountain, Mu Rong suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Hai Qiqi and Lu Yin. He stood up and took a single step before disappearing.
The many disciples of the Sword Sect were surprised since Mu Rong hadn’t left ever since he had helped them gain control of Pyrolyte Mountain.
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. It turned out that they couldn’t avoid Mu Rong in the end.
Hai Qiqi’s forcefield continued spreading underground. Suddenly, her forcefield distorted, and she looked up with a yelp. She was shocked to see Mu Rong materialize right in front of her, and she immediately hid behind Lu Yin before looking at Mu Rong with cautious eyes.
Mu Rong stared at Lu Yin. “Who are you?”
“I’m not hostile. A friend of mine disappeared during the battle for Pyrolyte Mountain. I want to find out if they are hiding underground,” Lu Yin lightly answered.
Mu Rong looked calm. “No, there’s no one beneath Pyrolyte Mountain.”
Lu Yin was disappointed. Was she really not there?
“Why should we believe you?” Hai Qiqi poked her head out.
Mu Rong softly replied, “You can choose to believe my words or not, and you can search by yourself.”
After saying those words, he turned around and left. He had only wanted to confirm whether or not the intruder was an enemy, but it had turned out that the people were not hostile. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around. He carefully observed Lu Yin. “You seem very familiar.”
Lu Yin had used the Invisible Aura Technique and even changed his appearance, so even Hunters might not be aware of his identity for a period of time. It was not surprising that Mu Rong had failed to see through his disguise.
“I have a common face,” Lu Yin nonchalantly replied.
Hai Qiqi nodded seriously.
My Rong’s eyes flashed. He stopped thinking about the matter as he returned to Pyrolyte Mountain.
Lu Yin had not expected Mu Rong to leave them be so easily, so he turned to Hai Qiqi and said, “Go ahead and use your full strength to search Pyrolyte Mountain.”
Hai Qiqi agreed and released the full power of her forcefield. This time, not only did Mu Rong sense her actions, but Liu Shaoqiu, who was even further away, did as well. It was a strong forcefield, but it wasn’t threatening. Liu Shaoqiu lifted his head, glanced at Mu Rong, and then did not pay much attention to the forcefield after that.
Since the two of them were protecting Pyrolyte Mountain, unless that person showed up, there was no Limiteer in the current universe who could threaten their control.
Soon, Hai Qiqi recalled her forcefield and shook her head. “There’s no one here.”
Lu Yin’s expression became complicated. If Zhuo Daynight really wasn’t at Pyrolyte Mountain, then where else could she be? Had she actually died in such a manner that not even her bones remained?
