Chapter 507: Patron (2/2)

When that old monster, Northgate Taisui, appeared in Northline Flowzone, it had not overly shocked the other organizations because Northline Flowzone was just too weak. Even if Northgate Taisui’s power surpassed that of Elder Ren, the status that he wielded in the universe was just too low. This showed the influence that the Sea King’s Dome wielded, as even powers such as the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect had to bow their heads.

Hai Dashao spoke up and pointed at Lei Long. “Elder, that person said that our Sea King's Dome isn’t qualified to take care of Frostwave Weave.”

Lei Long’s face instantly changed. “Hai Dashao, don’t spout nonsense! I didn’t say anything like that.”

Elder Ren looked at Lei Long. Then, his murky eyes suddenly changed, and Lei Long felt as if the heavens had become an unknown place. He suddenly lost control over his strength before he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned deathly white.

Everyone was overwhelmed, as this was just too terrifying a scene. After all, Lei Long was an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000, but he didn’t even have the strength to resist.

Elder Ren did not act a second time. “For the sake of giving your clan’s elders some face, I’ll let you off this time.”

Lei Long bowed his head. He didn’t dare to speak, though his eyes revealed his resentment.

Those who could cultivate to the Enlighter realm were geniuses among geniuses, and those whose power levels had reached 300,000-400,000 were even more exceptional. Moreover, this old man came from the Sea King's Dome, which meant that it would be difficult for even someone of the same power level to defeat Elder Ren, let alone someone like Lei Long who was much weaker. He would basically be crossing realms if he challenged the old man. For a super powerhouse from the Sea King’s Dome, dealing with Lei Long was nothing difficult.

The surrounding Enlighters subconsciously distanced themselves from Hai Dashao, as they dared not stay too close to him.

Wen Qichen stepped forward and greeted Elder Ren. “This junior from the Wen family, Wen Qichen, pays his respects to Elder Ren.”

Elder Ren looked at Wen Qichen and nodded with a smile. “The Wen family is a reasonable family, and all of their members are scholars. I like to talk with scholarly people.”

Wen Qichen forced a smile onto his face as he saluted Elder Ren again. “May I ask senior if the Second Prince’s words are true? Does the Sea King's Dome intend to protect Frostwave Weave and Lu Yin?”

Elder Ren shook his head. “No.”

The crowd’s eyes lit up.

Hai Dashao was stumped, and he cast a strange look towards Elder Ren.

Elder Ren slowly continued, saying, “The Sea King's Dome is not protecting Frostwave Weave and Lu Yin. Rather, it is protecting the Sea King's Dome’s future son-in-law, as well as his hometown.”

Bullshit! That’s the same thing! The Enlighters all cursed silently, but they didn’t dare to express their displeasure.

Wen Qichen smiled bitterly. “This junior understands. The Wen family will not act against Lu Yin, his friends, or his family. During this contest on Planet Pyrolyte, the strong win, and the weak can only leave.”

Elder Ren nodded and looked appreciatively at Wen Qichen. “Little one, you have a knack for seeing things clearly. Not bad, not bad. You deserve to be called a scholar.”

Wen Qichen was speechless. The words he spoke sounded like a scolding, but the appreciative expression on the elder’s face did not quite fit. Wen Quichen didn’t know if the old man was praising or admonishing him.

The rest had also come to understand the present situation since the conversation had reached this point. The Sea King’s Dome would protect Lu Yin, which meant that they could no longer threaten the youth, and also that he would be able to act without restraint.

Things were now hopeless for the rest of the Limiteers on Planet Pyrolyte.

Lu Yin was basically a gigantic mountain that none of the other Limiteers could surmount. The only way the various powers could still move forward was to mobilize their Explorers.

As Wen Qichen, Nightqueen Qiuyu, Chou Shu, and the other Enlighters from the various great powers went their separate ways, the Enlighters from the smaller organizations all left as well.

Lei Long had a malicious expression, and when he returned to his spacecraft, he immediately ordered for his underlings to speed up their research on developing a method for Explorers to descend onto Planet Pyrolyte, and possibly even Cruisers. If a method was found for Cruisers to descend onto the planet, then Planet Pyrolyte would suddenly belong to the Dire Barbarian Clan. After all, they had Avery.

It wasn’t just the Dire Barbarian Clan, as all of the various organizations started focusing on finding a method to send Explorers down to the planet.

On the surface of the planet, all of the Limiteers retreated from the mountain range until only one person remained: Zhanlong Daynight, who had been captured by Lu Yin.

When Ka Dejia’s face disappeared, Lu Yin had realized that the threats surrounding him no longer existed. The Sea King’s Dome had stepped up to protect him.

However, Lu Yin was not happy at this turn of events since this meant that, from now on, Frostwave Weave would be forever subservient to the Sea King's Dome. And as long as Lu Yin did not back out from the engagement, then he would also belong to the Sea King. Additionally, he was not naive enough to believe that the Sea King was protecting him out of his goodwill.

Still, those were all issues for the future. Right now, Lu Yin wanted to find out what had happened on Shenwu Continent, and how Zhanlong Daynight had left.

Zhanlong Daynight had been severely injured by one strike from Lu Yin, but his abnormal recovery abilities allowed him to awaken after merely half an hour, and the injuries on his body had also improved by a great deal. His recovery piqued Hai Qiqi’s interest, and she watched him heal in fascination.

When he awoke, Zhanlong Daynight arduously raised himself up and looked at Lu Yin before spitting out a mouthful of blood. “It’s been a while.”

Lu Yin looked at Zhanlong Daynight. “You know why I kept you behind.”

Zhanlong Daynight grinned. “Do you think I’ll tell you?”

A coldness flashed across Lu Yin’s eyes as he said, “You have the choice to remain silent, and I have the choice to kill you.”
