Chapter 500: A Legendary Battle Technique (2/2)

“That’s a good idea. The moment you expose that, you’ll probably be killed by the Nightking bloodline,” Lu Yin mentioned.

She gave him an odd look. “You know a lot about the Daynight clan. Why is that?”

Lu Yin casually answered, “I was just curious. The moment I heard about the Sealed Cage Technique, I started to get curious. I was surprised that the Nightking bloodline could be so cruel.”

Zhuo Daynight’s expression turned sorrowful as she remained silent.

“How many people are left from the Dayking bloodline?” Lu Yin asked.

Zhuo Daynight said, “I don’t know. Nobody’s been keeping track.”

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. “Is that because they each have their own… masters?”

Zhuo Daynight trembled and fell quiet.

“If you hope for the Dayking bloodline to regain its freedom in the future, the Night's End, Daybreak technique could well be your only hope. If I’m not wrong, grey hair is a symbol of the Nightkings whereas the symbol of the Daykings is silver hair,” Lu Yin said.

Zhuo Daynight eyed him with a cautious expression. “You’ve been thinking too much about the Daynight clan. I’m thankful to you for saving my life, but you’d better not touch the clan. We have countless cards up our sleeve that you can’t even fathom.”

Lu Yin burst into laughter. “The Daynight clan has nothing to do with me. I’m just worried about you since I don’t want the efforts that I put forth into saving you to go to waste.”

Zhuo Daynight looked away from him and towards the cave’s entrance. “I’m leaving. Take care.”

“How are you going to explain why I saved you?”

Zhuo Daynight frowned. She’d considered this before, but she had not come up with an answer yet.

Lu Yin reached out, took a sourcebox from his cosmic ring, and tossed it to her. “I’m a Lockbreaker, and I saved you because you have two harmless, Perceptive Intermediate sourceboxes that I wanted. You gave one to me in return for my help. As for your injuries, the Que's Mighty Slash only grazed you, and it didn’t manage to penetrate your skull.”

Zhuo Daynight looked at the sourcebox and whispered, “Thanks.”

Lu Yin had two harmless Perceptive Intermediate sourceboxes on him. One had been a prize from the Astral Combat Tournament supplied by the Nalan family while he had bought the other one from an auction house at the Sea King’s Dome. He was giving Zhuo Daynight the one that he had bought as an excuse to see her in the future as she would definitely return it to him at some point.

A harmless sourcebox that was suitable for Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers was, for any Lockbreaker, very tempting, especially for those who were at about that level. Saving someone in order to obtain such a sourcebox didn’t seem like a bad excuse.

It was impossible to estimate the value of a sourcebox on just its looks, and who knew, an ordinary sourcebox might contain a treasure that shocked the universe. Nobody could know for sure. It made sense for Lockbreakers to do crazy things to obtain these kinds of sourceboxes.

“This can probably make up for the Lockbreaking attempt that I promised you before, right?” Lu Yin asked.

Zhuo Daynight immediately threw the sourcebox back to him and left.

Lu Yin hesitated. “This sourcebox is very valuable. Are you saying that it’s not enough to make up for our previous agreement?”

Zhuo Daynight seriously answered, “You saving me combined with the favor that I owed you before more than make up for what you promised me. However, unless I’m dead, I won’t use that promise. It’s become a symbol of hope for me.”

Lu Yin pursed his lips and threw the sourcebox back to her. “Take it. The promise still stands.”

Zhuo Daynight’s eyes flashed, and she offered her thanks once more before leaving the mountains.

Hai Qiqi stood outside the cave and watched as the other woman left. She then looked at Lu Yin as he came out with a snickering expression. “You’ve got balls, man. How dare you spend time with a mistress when your wife is right in front of you?!”

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. “Shut up. I don’t see my wife anywhere.”

Hai Qiqi pointed at herself proudly. “I’m your wife! Now let me go out and play, or else I’ll tell my father that you’re abusing me, that you have mistresses, and that you’re drinking and gambling. I’ll make you sound like the worst guy ever!”

Lu Yin was speechless. “Don’t do that! I don’t even have any real relationship with you. And besides, I’ve got a reputation to maintain.”

“What are you implying? Are you saying that I’m not good enough for you?”

“I can’t lie.”

“You! How dare you!”

…

With Zhuo Daynight’s current strength, she would definitely be able to take care of herself, so Lu Yin no longer needed to worry about her anymore. The next step was for him to find Zhanlong Daynight and ask him about what had happened on Shenwu Continent.

Up in the sky, spacecraft kept forming words to guide the cultivators around the planet. After the Wen clan had started it, everyone had seemed to take to the idea, and all sorts of strange messages had started appearing. One organization had even created a gigantic detection machine that they were hoping to use to scan the entire planet. Clearly, that hadn’t worked out.

Before much more time passed, another gigantic reserve of pyrolyte ore was found to the northeast of the mountains where Northline Flowzone was based. It was probably going to be taken over by the Daynight clan.

Northgate Gang returned, and he looked serious. He went straight to Lu Yin and told him something terrible. A lot of organizations were forcing older Explorers to lower their power levels in order to obtain more pyrolyte.

Lu Yin turned serious as well. The major organizations had no lack of Explorers. The moment such people lowered their power levels, they’d become Limiteers, but their battle power would generally still be higher than a Limiteers’. These groups were truly going all out. It seemed that there was much more pyrolyte ore on this planet than had originally been anticipated.
