Chapter 288: Changes In The Great Yu Empire (2/2)

Silver sneered as he replied, “Captain, there are too many mysteries in the universe. There’s nothing strange about someone wanting to collect corpses, as the bodies of space-exploring powerhouses are worth studying.”

“Then what about the other members of the Yushan family? What motives does your Neohuman Alliance have for hiding within the Great Yu Empire?” Lu Yin asked sternly.

Silver acted surprised. “The Neohuman Alliance? Captain, don’t say such irresponsible words! That’s a serious felony. Do you have any evidence?”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed, and he disconnected the call without another word.

He had not revealed anything to Mira before, but the moment Mira mentioned that all of the Yushan family’s corpses had gone missing, Silver had popped up in Lu Yin’s mind. The Neohuman Alliance had spent great efforts to gain influence in the Great Yu Empire, and would the Neohuman Alliance really expend so much energy if the Great Yu Empire was insignificant? Lu Yin’s own family had shown the same interest, and he once again began considering what the Great Yu Empire could be hiding. His own family would not be able to adopt such extreme measures, but the Neohuman Alliance could.

What secret could the Yushan corpses possibly carry? Lu Yin had a headache from trying to figure it all out. He really wanted to contact his family, but he could not take the initiative to do so.

The Darkmist Weave was not too far from the Frostwave Weave, and it only took Lu Yin slightly more than ten days to arrive after a few reroutes.

At the other end of the disconnected call, Silver placed down his gadget and rubbed his forehead to ease his own headache. “We actually guessed incorrectly. The Yushan Family isn’t one of the seven named families. It’s such a pity that we wasted our time. Where did those with the surname Yu go to hide? Fortunately, this Lu Yin is rather interesting. He even became a Ten Arbiters candidate. We’ll definitely meet again in the future.” And with that, Silver left Astral-10 and headed towards the Innerverse.

In a distant part of the universe, great waves shook the Daynight clan; Zhanlong Daynight had been crushed by Lu Yin during the Outerverse trial. Not a single Daynight disciple had returned from the trial, but this news had made it back, and it shocked the entire clan.

Nightqueen Yanqing had also heard the news, and she was completely taken aback.

She clearly knew just how terrifying Zhanlong Daynight’s strength was, and while she could believe that Lu Yin was capable of defeating him, she could not believe that Lu Yin was capable of crushing Zhanlong. He had learned the Daynight Technique of Immunity! She had believed that Lu Yin would eventually give up if the two battled, but the actual results completely astounded her. What exactly happened during that battle in the Shenwu Continent?

All of the trialtakers who had attacked the Tower of Resonating Light had reported that Zhanlong Daynight had been subdued by Lu Yin and that Lu Yin had crushed him in less than two blows. This was a result that the Daynight clan could not accept. They had always stood at the peak of the universe, regardless of if it was the elder powerhouses or the younger generation. Lu Yin’s existence had become a thorn in their side. Nightqueen Yanqing was the first to be defeated by him, and Zhanlong Daynight had soon followed after. Now, aside from Nightking Zhenwu, the clan had no other young powerhouses besides their Explorers.

“This brat is too reckless and obviously doesn’t care about our Daynight clan. Allow this junior Explorer to teach him a lesson.”

“There’s no need. There are different levels within the younger generation as well. Although Zhenwu is also from the younger generation, he’s too close to the edge. Since this brat just stepped out not too long ago, it would be a humiliation if our Daynight clan sent junior Explorers out after him.”

“Why be afraid? Our Daynight clan should have no qualms about acting.”

“That’s right. No one under the Explorer realm is that brat’s opponent.”

“Can you even ensure that one of our younger Explorers will win? Don’t forget, be it Yanqing or Zhanlong, they are well-known even amongst the Explorers of the younger generation. They are both Realmbreakers.”

“Shut up, this is embarrassing. My Daynight clan has always had Realmbreakers, and allowing someone else to leap realms and challenge one of our clan members would be throwing away our ancestors’ face regardless of if they win or lose. We need to first think of a way to bring Zhanlong back, as the Daynight Technique of Immunity’s potential hasn’t yet been excavated yet. Also, no one is allowed to touch that Lu Yin, as he still holds value to us.”

…

As Lu Yin traveled from the Darkmist Weave to the Frostwave Weave, he passed by many Ross Empire battleships. There were even powerhouses who occasionally swept out with their star energy, but none of them caused any trouble for him.

The spacecraft that he was using belonged to the Outerverse Youth Council, so no one dared to provoke him.

Lu Yin’s expression became increasingly solemn the more he watched the endless fleet of ships flying past him. Could the Great Yu Empire withstand such a force?

The Ross Empire could establish itself in the Innerverse and was as famous as the Blaze Realm. Its power was not trivial in any sense, and the Great Yu Empire was only powerful enough to subdue a single weave in comparison. It could not match up to the Ross Empire at all. Lu Yin had already counted more than five powerhouses who could threaten him.

With his current strength, the average Explorer was not even worth his glance. Only someone whose power level surpassed 30,000 could threaten him. By comparison, Zi Tie, the commander at the border warfront, had a power level that was definitely over 30,000.

“This internal war between humans is much different from the border warfront. There, any random battle could have Cruisers or even Hunters involved,” the Ghost Monkey contemptuously disdained the current lineup.

“There will be a few Cruisers in this upcoming battle.”

“Is that so? It might be a bit interesting then.”

Lu Yin raised his head and gazed out at the skies. The Ross Empire and the Great Yu Empire were about to break out in an all-out war, and who knew if the Great Yu Empire would survive this disaster. Perhaps he should think of a way to help preserve the Great Yu Empire. He pulled out a handful of promissory notes, and his eyes twinkled. Should he use them here?

“Right, are you certain that that guy, Silver, is from the Neohuman Alliance?” the Ghost Monkey asked curiously.
