Chapter 74: Arrival and Capture (2/2)

Lu Yin returned his gaze to Bronsen, “At ease.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. His Imperial Majesty has tasked this humble servant with escorting you to the palace. Please, follow me.”

“What about my friends?” Lu Yin asked.

“Please rest assured, the Empire has made arrangements,” Bronsen replied.

Lu Yin nodded and glanced at Zhang Dingtian’s trio before having Xu San follow him out with Bronsen. Xu San followed him like a mouse, frightened of letting him go too far.

Feeling like things were getting boring, Lulu ran off by herself. Xia Luo also strolled through the area at leisure, with no one caring about him. Looking at Lu Yin’s figure with envy, Raas followed Munoor and Eddy away to the first ring which contained Yu Academy. Huo Xiaoling, Jenny Auna, and the other nobles were welcomed by their families and left.

In the end, Zhang Dingtian’s trio was brought to follow Raas’s group to Yu Academy, where they would undergo formcast remodeling as a reward for their accomplishments during the trial. This normally wasn’t a reward given out easily, but these three had displayed great talent and would be absorbed into the Empire as fresh blood.

The Zenyu Star’s space station was enormous, and after a while of walking a flying vehicle stopped in front of Lu Yin, “Your Majesty.”

Lu Yin and Xu San boarded the vehicle while Bronsen flew up by their side. The machine started with a low boom and quickly shot into the distance. Xu San measured this machine curiously with his eyes, especially the screen which had already mapped out the route. It was on autopilot.

“General Bronsen, can I ask you a question?” Lu Yin asked.

Bronsen dispersed the airflow around them using star energy and replied, “Of course, Your Majesty.”

“You mentioned 27 corpse kings earlier, what does that mean?”

Bronsen’s gaze trembled, “The evolution of the planet Your Majesty was on birthed many strong cultivators, but it also gave rise to zombies. There is one type of zombie called the corpse king that can swallow natural energy crystals to achieve great power. They have formed their own faction called the Neohuman Alliance, posing as the future of humanity, but they are extremely dangerous.”

Lu Yin’s gaze flashed as he thought of the long-haired zombie king and the one that Zhang Dingtian killed. Innate gifts were rare among humanity, but those things could achieve a similar effect by swallowing energy crystals. This meant the entire Neohuman Alliance had innate gifts; it was no wonder that the Great Yu Empire was concerned. “The escape of 27 of them from Earth’s trial, is it a serious offense?”
