Chapter 259: Outerverse Trial (1/2)
Lu Yin’s heart jumped when he saw Silver appear out of nowhere, “The Daynight clan is going to attack the Great Yu Empire. Are you guys not planning to do anything?”
Silver feigned shock. “Attack? Is this because you offended the Nightking clan?”
Lu Yin did not answer, but that alone was tantamount to a tacit acknowledgement.
Silver’s lips curled up. “This isn’t an easy situation to resolve. That’s the Daynight clan that you’re talking about, and you even offended their Nightking bloodline. That spells trouble.”
“If the Great Yu Empire is wiped out by the Daynight clan, then your people will be in trouble too. Or at the least, your schemes in the Great Yu Empire will end.”
Silver leisurely stretched out. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I do have some interesting information that I can sell you, although I’m not sure if you can pay the price or not.”
“What information?” Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed.
Silver beamed. “Payment first, then the information.”
Lu Yin took out a crystal Mavis Bank card. “There are 450,000 star energy crystals in here.”
Silver smirked. “That’s not what I want. I need information from you.”
“Information?” Lu Yin was astonished, but he could vaguely guess at what Silver was hinting towards.
“Since you were able to get in touch with a Nightking elder and even get that old fart Nightking Yuanjing to protect your little girlfriend, I want to know what price you paid to do so.” Silver’s smile faded as he spoke seriously.
Lu Yin considered the proposition; could he give Silver the information about the Third Nightking? This person was from the Neohuman Alliance and was an enemy of all humans. The Third Nightking was indeed from the Nightking clan, but he was still a human who had bravely charged into the Astral Beast Domain on behalf of the Human Domain. Would telling Silver be akin to betraying the human race?
“Hey, why aren’t you telling him?” The Ghost Monkey’s voice rang out in Lu Yin’s mind.
Lu Yin was at a loss for what to say.
“It looks like this brat isn’t some virtuous person either. Only a few people know about the matter with Nightking Yuanjing, and apart from those directly involved, only the upper members of the Nightking clan would know. And yet, this brat actually knows about it as well. Isn’t that basically insinuating that he has ears in the Nightking clan? That would be terrifying. Kid, is that what you’re worried about?” the Ghost Monkey asked.
Lu Yin gently grunted.
“This brat isn’t easy to deal with. Just tell him about the Third Nightking,” the Ghost Monkey urged
Lu Yin frowned, but he still refrained from answering.
“Relax, even if the news about the Third Nightking’s tracks spreads into the Human Domain or even through the universe, no one will be able to save or harm him. The Astral Beast Domain has not managed to do so after so many years, so do you really think that your Human Domain can somehow do so? No one will be able to save or harm him, and the Third Nightking does not have a good character either. You can ask around—that guy wiped out many clans back in his days. The Nightking clan’s ruthlessness was in some part started by him,” the monkey explained.
Lu Yin made his choice and looked at Silver, “I gave Nightking Yuanjing a piece of information.”
Silver’s eyes widened a bit more.
“The Third Nightking is in the Profound Void Realm of the Astral Beast Domain,” Lu Yin slowly explained. This sentence caused Silver’s smile to completely vanish as a frigid coldness and a deep killing intent started surging forth from him.
“How do you know the location of the Third Nightking?” Silver asked solemnly.
Lu Yin had never seen Silver like this before. “I’ve given you my side of the deal. You can tell me your information now.”
Silver inhaled deeply and slowly calmed himself down. He then seriously answered, “The Nightking clan wants to extend their influence into the Outerverse and has decided to send experts to participate in the Outerverse trial. This trial is how the Outerverse Youth Council selects their members, and many people from both the Outerverse and Innerverse will participate, including dark powers like the pirates from the Astral River and the Chaos Flowzone. Even the Technocracy and the Astral Beast Domain may send their experts to participate.”
“What?” Lu Yin was flabbergasted by this information. The Outerverse Youth Council had been established for many years, but this round’s selection seemed to be exceptionally important.
Silver shook his head. “I don’t know all the details, but many Innerverse clans want a foothold inside of the Outerverse Youth Council. They don’t want one of their people clan members to be just a subsidiary member, but rather an actual Councilor.”
“Councilor? What about the original ones?” Lu Yin was puzzled.
Silver’s lips quirked up in a disturbing manner. “Half of the original ten are dead.”
Lu Yin was badly shocked by this news. The Outerverse Youth Council’s Councilors were all experts among the Top 100 Rankings, just like how Wendy Yushan was among the top twenty. There were members both weaker and stronger than her, but every last one of them was an absolute expert. Now, however, half of them were dead.
“Is this shocking news to you? Don’t pay it too much attention—this is a very normal matter. The universe is wonderful like that. No matter how strong you are, you can fall at any time, just like how the Third Nightking went missing and stunned the entire universe. Yet not long after that, everyone came to accept it. This is simply how the universe works,” Silver said with a grin before leaving .
