Chapter 288: Changes In The Great Yu Empire (1/2)
Mira leisurely stretched out, revealing her perfect curves. “Arbiter Wen can make the arrangements for the nearby weaves. Although you have not formally joined him, you are directly subordinate to him, and he has made arrangements for you.” Mira’s then lips raised up as she gave Lu Yin a teasing look. “For you to be a subordinate member under the Outerverse Youth Council Councilor Wendy Yushan.”
Lu Yin was stunned by this news. “I’m to be Wendy Yushan’s subordinate?”
Mira laughed, “That’s right, Wendy Yushan, your little fiancée.”
Lu Yin was rendered speechless. Wen Sansi must be messing with him, as everyone should know of his relationship with Wendy Yushan, and yet, he had still made such an arrangement. Lu Yin thought about it a bit and then looked at Mira. It must have been this woman who had made this arrangement as Wen Sansi did not seem to have a sadistic personality.
Mira resisted her instinct to laugh. “Don’t look at me like that! It’s got nothing to do with me! Arbiter Wen arranged it all.”
Lu Yin grudgingly said, “Arbiter Wen can’t be that bored.”
“There must be a reason behind this arrangement.” Mira’s face turned serious as she said, “Something has happened to the Great Yu Empire, so you must be mentally prepared.”
Lu Yin’s eyes widened as a murderous intent flitted across his eyes. “The Daynight clan?”
Mira shook her head. “During your time in the Shenwu Continent, Undying Yushan died from his heavy injuries and transferred his throne to Dorren Yushan. Wendy Yushan believed that Undying Yushan’s injuries were caused by the Ross Empire, so she travelled there to battle them and was also seriously injured. She’s currently missing, and her Outerverse Youth Council matters have been handed over to her subordinate, Bazeer. However, this person is too arrogant and is not fit to take on such a huge responsibility. Hence, Arbiter Wen has transferred you to work under Wendy Yushan, and you will replace Bazeer as an operating member of the Council of Astral Academy. You’ll represent Wendy Yushan while handling her matters as a member of the Outerverse Youth Council.”
Lu Yin was shocked. “Undying Yushan died?”
Mira nodded. “Dead. Even his corpse vanished. Wendy Yushan assumed that the Ross Empire snatched it, which is one of the reasons why she went there and battled them.”
“Wendy Yushan attacked the Ross Empire, and it has already formally declared war against the Great Yu Empire. Now, the entire Frostwave Weave has been drawn into the fire of war. Crown Prince Dorren Yushan, who succeeded as the emperor of the Great Yu Empire, perished five days ago, and the second prince, Duke Yushan, perished just a day later. All of the descendants of the Yushan Family have been massacred,” Mira gloomily informed Lu Yin.
Lu Yin clenched his fists, as a fierce killing intent rose up within him. “Was it the Ross Empire?”
Mira shook her head. “We don’t know, and even Undying Yushan’s death is a mystery. The Ross Empire has denied the accusations that they killed Undying Yushan, but the whole matter is very fishy. All of the corpses of the Yushan family members have either vanished or been taken away. And as of today, only Wendy Yushan remains of their bloodline.”
Lu Yin had never expected so much to transpire during his trial on the Shenwu Continent. The Great Yu Empire could be considered to be practically destroyed. His mind was in utter chaos, and he was at a loss for what to do next.
“Due to the hostilities in the Frostwave Weave, even the Innerverse has been affected. The Ten Arbiters are behind Wendy Yushan, though the Ross Empire also has their support. This has resulted in internal discord among the Ten Arbiters, and even the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Blaze Realm, and the Daynight clan have gotten involved. The matters of a single Great Yu Empire have rippled out to affect both the Innerverse and Outerverse,” Mira explained.
Lu Yin was still in agony as he responded, “It’s not the Great Yu Empire, but rather Wendy Yushan. Without her, even if the Great Yu Empire was exterminated, the Innerverse wouldn’t interfere.”
Mira looked at him and frowned. “Arbiter Wen has said that you can return to the Great Yu Empire first and then go to San Dios after settling the matters there. However, you cannot take too long to settle your affairs.”
“Where’s Wendy?” Lu Yin straightforwardly asked.
“Missing. She’s probably in some secluded area within the Frostwave Weave. She’s wiped her tracks clean.”
Lu Yin nodded. Even Undying Yushan had been killed, so she was definitely not safe either. She was smart to cover her tracks.
Not much later, Lu Yin formally joined the Outerverse Youth Council and became a direct subordinate of Councilor Wendy Yushan, which gave him the same position as Bazeer. Still, his status was much higher than Bazeer’s since he was equivalent to a council member.
A high position did not necessarily mean being able to exercise authority. Bazeer was under Puyu’s jurisdiction, but he was also one of Wendy Yushan’s subordinates and had been for some time. It would not be easy to take over Wendy’s authority from Bazeer, especially since he had Puyu’s support.
However, none of this was on Lu Yin’s mind. Rather, he was only thinking of how he could return to the Great Yu Empire quicker and see with his own eyes how chaotic things had become.
The starry expanse was very dark, and the road ahead of him was murky. The Great Yu Empire was Lu Yin’s home, and if it was destroyed, then he would be a drifter without any roots. Deep in his heart, he was even more worried about Earth, especially since he did not know if the battle within the Frostwave Weave would affect that planet.
He switched his gadget on and tapped it several times. A voice quickly replied, “Oh, you’re already out?”
“Silver, are your people at all related to the situation within the Great Yu Empire?” Lu Yin gloomily asked.
“Oh, captain, how could you possibly say this? Do you have any evidence?” Silver replied with a relaxed voice, his unctuous tone reminding Lu Yin of the sly smile that was sure to be on Silver’s face.
“I cannot think of a reason why the Ross Empire would want to take away all of the Yushan family’s corpses of the Yushan family—only your people would.”
