Chapter 803: Captain Of The Fifth Squadron (1/2)

Qiong Shanhai’s expression turned grim. Fortunately, the Neohuman Alliance had been defeated, so Millions City was still under the Qiong family’s control.

“Your Highness, do you remember what happened?” Yan Yan asked. He had been seriously injured during the battle with Sall Phoenix.

Lu Yin shook his head. “I don’t remember. It seems like someone’s removed our memories. What about you? Did you find anything strange above ground?”

Yan Yan shook his head. “Hoffman was killed by the corpse king, but nothing important happened aside from that.”

Everyone was talking to each other to verify their recent memories, but it seemed that, without exception, nobody remembered what had happened in the last ten minutes.

Qiong Xi’er was extremely pale, as she had lost a lot of blood.

Zhu San and Zhu Jie sadly checked Zhu Tiezhu’s body.

Lu Yin glanced over at Zhu San. Lu Yin knew that this youth wasn’t actually from the Zhu family and that their entire clan belonged to the Ce family. They had stayed in Millions City for so long because they had the same d.e.s.i.r.e as the Neohuman Alliance: they wanted to take over the mobile fortress. However, now that Zhu Tiezhu had died while the Outerverse was still cut off from the Innerverse, the Ce family wouldn’t be able to assist them, and they were no longer capable of fighting for control of Millions City. They might even be wiped out by Qiong Shanhai.

Sall Phoenix was also searching for Taylor Phoenix, but he wasn’t able to find any sign of the youth since he had been vaporized by the cannon.

The same thing had happened to Mr. Jun as well.

Cai Jianqiang had been seriously injured, and he was looking for a place to recuperate at this time.

Everyone simply wanted to recover from their injuries, and they had all forgotten about True Insight.

Qiong Shanhai arranged accomodations for everyone, and he also gave all of them some star essence out of gratitude for their help.

As soon as the City Master mentioned star essence, everyone felt a strange sense of deja vu, as if something similar had happened before.

Lu Yin started to get worried. He could only hope that nobody would recall anything!

Yuehua Mavis and the others scanned through their cosmic rings and realized that all of their star essence were missing. Where had it all gone?

“Where’s my cosmic ring?” Sall Phoenix asked.

Qiong Shanhai immediately sent some people into the underground regions to search for Sall Phoenix’s ring, but they would never be able to find it. After all, the man’s ring was still in Lu Yin’s possession.

Through this ordeal, Lu Yin had managed to complete his third cycle as well as obtain more than a million star essence. He had also upgraded his universal armor to its maximum potential and learned a bit about the Ce Secret Art. Although he wasn’t sure whether or not he had properly understood the Ce Secret Art, he had still experienced it once, which was definitely beneficial for him.

Aside from all of these tangible benefits, another important detail was Millions City.

This battle had been started by the Neohuman Alliance. Just the presence of a Grey Eyed corpse king and a powerhouse from the Specter Clan had plunged the various Enlighters who had been present into a desperate struggle. This encounter had forced Lu Yin to reevaluate his opinion of the Neohuman Alliance, as the power of the organization clearly far exceeded his expectations.

Although Qiong Shanhai had prepared accommodations for everyone, most of the people didn’t stay in Millions City for long.

Saul was the first one to leave, and although Cai Jianqiang wanted to pursue the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society’s Vice President, Lu Yin held him back. “There’s no point in you chasing after him. You won’t be able to stop him on your own.”

Cai Jianqiang was reluctant to let Saul get away, but he still listened to Lu Yin’s advice. He wasn’t sure why, but he had a feeling that he should be thankful to Lu Yin, and he felt indescribably grateful towards Lu Yin. “Are you ok?”

Lu Yin smiled. “I’m fine. I got lucky, though maybe the Neohuman Alliance just didn’t think that I was worth targeting.”

Cai Jianqiang laughed. “You’re comparable to any one of us when you use your various external items.”

Lu Yin smiled but remained quiet. When he looked over, he noticed that Starfox was staring at him with a curious gaze. However, Starfox looked away as soon as Lu Yin glanced over.

During his conversation with Cai Jianqiang, Lu Yin quickly realized that he had forgotten about something. Regardless of whether it was Yuehua Mavis or Villa Mistress Lian, everyone in this place was looking very disheveled, as they had all been subjected to the shockwaves of the cannon. However, Lu Yin looked perfectly fine, and since Cai Jianqiang and Starfox had noticed this detail, the others must have as well.

Lu Yin frowned, as he had completely forgotten about this. Most of the people around him must have already noticed that he looked different from everyone else who had been underground.

Qiong Shanhai didn’t ask the youth to stay. Instead, he simply gave him 50,000 star essence as an apology, which Lu Yin naturally accepted with delight.

If not for Millions City’s barrier, none of the cultivators would have been forced to stay in Millions City and fight against the Neohuman Alliance. The reason why nobody had attacked Qiong Shanhai over this was simply because the enemy that they had faced was the Neohuman Alliance, which was considered the greatest enemy of the universe. Thus, nobody could blame Millions City for taking such actions. However, if the enemy hadn’t been the Neohuman Alliance, Qiong Shanhai would have been killed for trying to force these powerhouses to battle against the city’s enemy.

No matter how apologetic Qiong Shanhai behaved, everyone still held a grudge against him.

Qiong Shanhai understood this, and so he was polite in sending Lu Yin off.

Everyone also understood that the Neohuman Alliance had stolen True Insight in order to lure them away from Millions City.

Since True Insight had been stolen by the Neohuman Alliance, nobody believed that they would be able to retrieve it.

A mere two elites from the Neohuman Alliance had been enough to defeat an entire group of Enlighters and powerhouses, and none of them wanted to go against the Neohuman Alliance again.
