Chapter 611: Starting Anew (1/2)

“Seventh Bro, even though this girl looks weak, she’s actually dominating! She isn’t showing any signs of accepting you, and yet, she doesn't want you to like someone else. She is going overboard!” the monkey cried out.

Was Ming Yan really going overboard? Love was something that made people jealous, so anyone would have felt the same.

“I’m sorry, Brother Lu. Let’s just pretend that I didn't say anything. I will give this matter some serious consideration,” Ming Yan quickly continued. She was also able to sense that she had gone too far with her words.

Lu Yin did not continue to dwell on this topic. He was a complete beginner when it came to love without any experience whatsoever, and Ming Yan was the same. The two of them spoke straight from their hearts with neither pretenses nor white lies. This was part of the reason why they had fallen in love with each other so quickly, but it was also the reason why their relationship had run into issues so easily.

“Shenwu Continent will join the rest of the universe in the future, and we’ll have a lot of time to spend together once that happens. Maybe I can take you and your father to visit my hometown and show you both around. You could give me your answer then,” Lu Yin offered gently.

Ming Yan nodded. She had considered many things over the past few days. She hated that Lu Yin felt foreign to her and that she had rejected his advances, but she also could not be blamed as it had a subconscious reaction. She knew that she loved the man standing in front of her, but what was it that was stopping her from further developing this relationship? She did not have the answer to that at this time. She needed to think things through even if it meant that this man would end up with someone else while she did so.

Even though Lu Yin did not say much during the two hours that he spent with Ming Yan, he still enjoyed the feeling of just having her by his side. Her familiar fragrance gave him a sense of calm.

“You should head back now, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” Lu Yin said.

Ming Yan made a sound of acknowledgement and bowed her head. It was impossible to know what she was thinking about.

Lu Yin’s heart stirred, and he moved closer and slowly embraced her.

Ming Yan was shocked, but this time, she did not move away from him. She actually felt very safe in his arms.

The sky grew dark very quickly, and Ming Yan returned home soon after.

Lu Yin went to meet with Ming Zhaoshu.

“I have confirmed with the people on the space station that we will attack the five sealing planets in five days,” Ming Zhaoshu informed Lu Yin.

Lu Yin nodded his head. “We will set out tomorrow.”

Ming Zhaoshu knitted his brows. “We can actually wait longer than that. Things will be too rushed if you head out tomorrow.”

Lu Yin looked at Ming Zhaoshu. “If this were a normal battle, then we could afford to wait. However, our opponent this time is the Neohuman Alliance. Delaying even another second only increases the possibility of a Corpse King appearing. When that happens, countless people will be turned into monsters. There are no strategies to deal with them, and if that happens, all we can do is fight our hardest.”

“Besides, do you really dare to delay things any longer? The people at the space station are already aware that the Neohuman Alliance is on the continent, and if we delay any longer, then it won’t just be the Neohuman Alliance that gets eradicated. Instead, it’ll be a concerted effort by the Outerverse’s combined might to destroy the entire continent.”

Ming Zhaoshu felt helpless. He was good at being patient for the right opportunity to strike. However, Lu Yin was obviously an impulsive person, or at least, that was how Ming Zhaoshu felt. The Reverent King felt that he was someone who could reduce casualties to the lowest level possible so long as he was given time. However, he was not the one in control right now. Besides, Lu Yin was not wrong either. He had not dared to expose the presence of the Neohuman Alliance out of fear that the people of the Outerverse would see the entire Shenwu Continent as an enemy.

“How are things with Yan’er?” Ming Zhaoshu asked.

However, before he could even finish speaking, Lu Yin interrupted him. “Things are fine between us, but let’s focus on this battle first.”

Ming Zhaoshu looked at Lu Yin’s back with a twinkle in his eye.

The battle in five days would lead to a new dawn for the continent. .

After walking out of the Reverent King’s Residence, Lu Yin was in a rather good mood. His time with Ming Yan had allowed him to realize something: she still had feelings for him deep down inside. It was merely that the time that they had spent apart had caused them to become unfamiliar with each other. This had caused her to grow reticent, and she needed some time to adjust.

As long as her feelings for Lu Yin had not changed, the situation could still be salvaged. Was this what long-distance relationsh.i.p.s were like? Being separated for two years was certainly a long-distance relationship. Lu Yin felt happy that he was close to her at this moment. If he had been forced to wait much longer, her feelings would probably have ceased to exist.

The only thing that he could blame was that they had not spent enough time together in the past. He had developed the false belief that their love was so deep that it could withstand the test of time. Alas, none of that mattered now since Shenwu Continent was no longer forbidden ground to him; instead, it had become a place that he could visit at any time. Aside from the initial culture shock, there probably wasn’t much that could surprise Ming Yan anymore. So long as they were both willing to start their relationship again, it was not too late.

She could treat it as though they were falling in love all over again.

The next day, Lu Yin met up with Nightking Changfeng and the others inside of the valley. The others had turned up in full numbers. Lu Yin’s stellar performance during the battle the day before as well as his overwhelming presence had pressured them all into showing up. Even the usually unyielding Bigbeard did his best to avoid Lu Yin’s gaze.

Lu Yin did not show them much courtesy, and he immediately took off to start their journey. He followed the same route that he had traveled with Arikar in the past as he headed for Mingdu.

Since the people behind him had stayed in Shenwu Continent for too long, their star energy had long since been replaced with martial power, so a heavenly globe wouldn’t be able to sense any abnormalities from them. However, just to be safe, Lu Yin led them along the long route.

Nightking Changfeng did not reveal his murderous intentions, as he was waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike.

In the early morning of the fifth day, at the first light of dawn, Lu Yin assigned everyone a position and arranged them all in a manner to prevent the Corpse King from escaping.

Before long, the sky trembled, and it felt like an earthquake was shaking the entire continent. Figure after figure took to the sky as the five sealing planets were under attack.

After Shenwu Continent had been excommunicated by the Outerverse, the five sealing planets had not suffered any attacks in a long time. The Enlighters had all gone to the Ironblood Weave, and any attacks on the five sealing planets by Madam Meilan or the others were completely ineffective. In recent days, Shenwu Continent had been peaceful and serene, so nobody would have thought that an altercation would take place on such a day.

Ming Zhaotian had a bitter look on his face; this attack out of nowhere had fl.u.s.tered him. He was worried about the Enlighters who had gathered in the Outerverse. Out of desperation, he issued notices throughout the entire Shenwu Continent, ordering all who had cultivated to the stage of Martial Emperor or higher to report to the five sealing planets.

He himself headed into the sky himself while leaving control of the empire to Crown Prince Ming Hao.

“Move out now!” Lu Yin bellowed. He had already donned the universal armor, leaped into the sky, and dived straight towards the Tower of Resonating Light. Everyone else scrambled to get into the positions they had been assigned by Lu Yin, and Nightking Changfeng was no exception.
