Chapter 331: Insider Information About The Daynight Clan (2/2)

As he watched Schutz leave, Lu Yin suddenly wondered if he should bring the Great Yu Empire’s young elites to Astral-10. He should think of a way to do so.

There were two other figures on the trial zone mountain who had not left yet. One was Darkvoid, and the other was Hui Daynight.

Of Astral-10’s students, Darkvoid was reclusive, Michelle proud, Zhao Yilong apathetic, and then there was Hui Daynight. Lu Yin did not know how to deal with this person; although he had been arrogant from the very beginning, he had never shown Lu Yin any ill will. Hui Daynight tended to be provocative, but he had also been smashed rather miserably by Lu Yin.

When Nightqueen Yanqing had appealed for the Daynight clan experts to deal with Lu Yin, Hui Daynight had not made an appearance. Now, Hui Daynight had no support from either side; the Daynight clan did not accept him, and neither could he get along with those from Astral-10. Hence, he could not mingle with either group.

Lu Yin was looking at Hui Daynight when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked back at Lu Yin. He stood up to leave the trial zone mountain, not saying a word at all.

Lu Yin suddenly said, “Could you tell me something about the Daynight clan?”

Hui Daynight did not even turn around. “What do you want to know?”

“The Sealed Cage Technique,” Lu Yin said. This term made Hui Daynight’s face change dramatically, and he whirled around to face Lu Yin with a stunned expression. “How do you know about that?”

Lu Yin squinted. How did he know? He had heard a dazed Zhuo Daynight mention the term a few times, but he could tell that it was nothing good. “Could you tell me more about it?”

Hui Daynight’s eyes flickered, and he stared at Lu Yin’s eyes as if trying to discern something. After a brief moment, he shifted his gaze away, and his face regained its indifference. “It’s top secret clan information. It can’t be shared with outsiders.” And with that, he left.

Lu Yin fell deep into thought.

“Seventh Bro, do you want to know about the Sealed Cage Technique?” the monkey tentatively offered.

Lu Yin’s brows jumped up. “You know about it?”

The Ghost Monkey was pleased with itself. “Of course! Many of the ancestors have records about it. After all, the Daynight clan is not a small family, so there are many records related to them.”

“Tell me more.”

The monkey laughed mischievously, “Sure, but you must promise to never screen me off again.”

“I promise,” Lu Yin immediately agreed.

The Ghost Monkey was stumped, and his reply was a bit slow. “What was that? Come again, Seventh Bro?”

“I said that I promise,” Lu Yin said quietly.

The monkey fell silent for a moment before saying, “Seventh Bro, that’s not very sincere. You’ve got to be lying.”

“You don’t trust me?” Lu Yin’s tone took a downturn.

The monkey felt helpless; the script had deviated from its expectations, and Lu Yin’s agreement had been too straightforward. It was something that he simply couldn’t believe. However, since Lu Yin had already agreed, the monkey could only continue, so he dejectedly said, “Alright, I’ll believe you for now.”

He then coughed twice and explained, “The so-called ‘Sealed Cage Technique’ is the method that the Nightking bloodline of the Daynight clan uses to restrain the Dayking bloodline. In ancient times, there were two ‘king’ tribes that ruled over the Daynight clan: the Dayking bloodline and the Nightking bloodline. But for some reason, the Dayking bloodline experts suffered a disaster, and the Nightking bloodline reacted ruthlessly. They created this Sealed Cage Technique to control all of the Dayking bloodline descendants. It’s a malevolent form of control, and it’s said that this technique can even control one’s life and death.

“Every Nightking clan descendant will be given control over a considerable number of Daynight disciples. A more accurate term would be ‘slaves,’ and this is the reason why the Nightking bloodline has always been elevated so highly, because of this Sealed Cage Technique. This is also why the Daynight clan holds itself separate and acts decisively to intimidate the entire universe.”

“Can the Sealed Cage Technique ever be removed?” Lu Yin asked, as he thought of Zhuo Daynight’s pale, helpless face.

“Of course, as there are many benevolent people who have emerged among the Nightking Clan throughout the years who have taken the initiative to remove the Sealed Cage Technique from their slaves, but many people are still controlled. From my perspective, that Hui Daynight is probably a descendant of the Dayking bloodline, and he is most likely being controlled by the Sealed Cage Technique. Otherwise, he definitely would not have rejected that battle between you and Nightqueen Yanqing.”

Lu Yin never expected that the Daynight clan would have such a ruthless method of manipulation. “Is this Sealed Cage Technique a type of battle technique?”

“Don’t worry about that. The Sealed Cage Technique can only affect those with the Dayking bloodline, which is why many people avoid even mentioning the Nightking Clan. In order to gain control of their own clan, they created a special bloodline enslavement technique. It’s rather sinister, but it’s useless against anyone else.”

Lu Yin felt like he had gained a deeper understanding of the Daynight clan, or rather, of the Nightking clan. He truly detested the core nature of this clan.

“Right, what of the Daynight clan itself?” Lu Yin asked curiously.

“I don’t know about that. According to some records, the Daynight clan had two extreme powerhouses: the Dayking and the Nightking. The two of them gave birth to the Dayking bloodline and the Nightking body while the rest should be considered in-between.”

At that moment, Little Pao entered the trial zone mountain again. “Junior, Old Cai is calling for you.”

Lu Yin nodded and immediately left the trial zone mountain.

Not long later, Lu Yin met with Old Cai in the treasury. The treasurer sized him up and down and marvelled, “Kid, you’re not too bad to have reached this step.”

“It’s all thanks to Mentor’s teachings,” Lu Yin flattered.

Old Cai rolled his eyes. “Brown-noser.”

Lu Yin gave a wry smile.

“Alright, there’s a few matters that I want to discuss. First, someone wants to ask about Tian Hou’s abilities. Secondly, it’s about the reward. You’ll receive the rewards of being the champion of both the Astral Combat Tournament and the Tournament of the Strongest.”

Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed. “Rewards? How much money?”

Old Cai was speechless. “Kid, you’re too much of a money-grubber.”

Lu Yin grew embarrassed, but he could not be blamed. His power was directly linked to his wealth. The richer he was, the faster he could improve his strength.
