Chapter 273: Threa (2/2)
“That’s none of your business,” Lu Yin coldly replied.
Yue Xianzi looked at Lu Yin closely and carefully considered his request. “The Ming Constables aren’t the Demon Hunters. With the identities that we’ve created, Demon Hunters will find out there’s something wrong after around two months, but it’ll only take a month for the Ming Constables to discover the discrepancies. Have you already thought this through?”
Lu Yin nodded. “Absolutely.”
Yue Xianzi took a letter out from her cosmic ring and handed it to Lu Yin. “All you have to do is hand this over to the Ming Constables’ headquarters, and you’ll be able to get in. Everything’s written in detail there, and you can keep using the name ‘Lu Seven’ or come up with something else on your own. It doesn’t matter. However, in no more than a month, that letter will be discovered to be false. Also, don’t say that I didn’t warn you about this—the Ming Constables have a Martial Sovereign, so once you get found out, you’re dead meat.”
Lu Yin took the letter and opened it; he still didn’t trust her completely. At first, she had said that there weren’t any Martial Sovereigns in the capital, but then, all of a sudden, she had mentioned that there was one in the Ming Constables. She wasn’t trustworthy.
The contents of the letter left Lu Yin rather shocked. Everything about him had been written down in detail, and it even contained the seal of the former head of the Ming Constables. There were also a bunch of other seals that belonged to former members of the Ming Constables. He sighed in admiration as he looked at her. “It’s indeed great to have connections. I can’t believe that you managed to forge something like this.”
“It’s not forged. It’s real. Other than the seal of the previous head of the Ming Constables, everything else is real,” Yue Xianzi earnestly answered.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, as this method was quite sly. These people might not have even realized that they were working for the Frostmoon Sect. “We’re even now.”
Yue Xianzi’s eyes flickered. “Actually, we can still work together.”
“Oh? How so?” Lu Yin asked, interested in what she had to say.
Yue Xianzi answered, “Actually, after that battle that took place a millenia ago, many large organizations in the outer universe have left pockets of people hiding in the Shenwu Continent, lying low. The Frostmoon Sect is actually a tiny sect that’s working under the Daynight clan, and we don’t have any real rights. If you agree, then we can work together and act against other organizations.”
“For example?” Lu Yin enquired.
Yue Xianzi sighed before bluntly answering, “The Daynight clan.”
Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. He had been hoping to get some information on the Daynight clan’s movements in the Shenwu Continent from her, and yet, here she was offering him everything. It appeared that the Daynight clan was rather despised among the other organizations. “Is the organization that the Daynight clan uses in this continent very powerful?”
Yue Xianzi could only smile wryly before explaining, “They’re powerful in the entire universe. From your Frostwave Weave to places even further away, everyone knows that those with black and white hair are from the Daynight clan. That is the extent of their influence.”
“Who did they send here?” Lu Yin asked curiously.
A hint of terror flashed across Yue Xianzi’s eyes. “Zhanlong Daynight, a genius who managed to defeat Nightqueen Yanqing in one move.”
Lu Yin was shocked. “He defeated Nightqueen Yanqing?”
Yue Xianzi nodded. “Yes, though that’s a secret, and only a few people in the Daynight Flowzone are aware of it. That includes our Frostmoon Sect. He has comprehended a battle technique that nobody else in the clan has in countless years—the Daynight Restoration Technique. He was deemed a genius second only to Nightking Zhenwu. He’s the true opponent we are facing during this trial.”
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. He knew full well the extent of Nightqueen Yanqing’s abilities. The fact that this Zhanlong Daynight had been able to easily defeat her meant that he had to be on a similar power level as him. This was the ability of a great clan of the universe; there was a never ending stream of geniuses available to them.
“Did the Daynight clan send any Explorers here?” Lu Yin wondered.
Yue Xianzi shook her head. “Probably not. Explorers attract too much attention. Their ultimate goal is to have a Daynight clan member join the Outerverse Youth Council and then take advantage of that position to meddle in the Outerverse’s matters. If they send an Explorer, then the Ten Arbiters would have had internal conflicts.”
Lu Yin understood that the Ten Arbiters had their own internal conflicts. If the Daynight clan had really sent an Explorer to the Outerverse trial, then the other Ten Arbiters would definitely do the same. That would create chaos in the Outerverse.
“One more thing.” Yue Xianzi stared at Lu Yin with a serious look in her eyes. “They want to wash away the humiliation that Nightqueen Yanqing’s defeat caused them.”
Lu Yin’s eyes glinted coldly.
“Don’t you find things strange? The top four from the Astral Combat Tournament were all required to enter the Shenwu Continent—that was caused by the sole intervention of the Daynight clan. Your battle with Nightqueen Yanqing was also arranged by the Daynight clan.” Yue Xianzi said.
Lu Yin was well aware of this. He was nothing more than a chess piece being moved about according to the Daynight clan’s desires.
“The Daynight clan needs Zhanlong Daynight to defeat the top four tournament fighters and achieve outstanding results during this trial. This would reverse their humiliation that came from Nightqueen Yanqing’s defeat and the shame of you banning the Daynight clan from the trial zones,” Yue Xianzi explained.
“You’re saying too much,” Lu Yin told her.
Yue Xianzi lowered her voice before continuing. “The Daynight clan is incredibly tyrannical and acts openly. We know them too well. That’s all I have to say, Brother Lu. Whether you’re willing to work with us or not is your choice. I’ll be at the Demon Hunters Society’s headquarters and I’ll be going by the name ‘Xiao Yue.’” After saying that, she left.
