Chapter 343: Registered Names (1/2)

Lu Yin was reminded of Ming Yan. What would happen if, one day, she was disallowed from marrying him? Just the thought of that situation made Lu Yin feel like he was suffocating. He didn’t want that to happen, because Ming Yan had to belong to him. He wouldn’t allow anyone to come between them.

Still feeling annoyed, Lu Yin went to Bazeer, who was locked up in prison. He wanted to vent his frustrations upon someone.

After going through a whole day of treatment, Bazeer’s injuries had somewhat healed, and he had regained consciousness. Upon seeing Lu Yin, he glared hard at him. “I regret not killing you back then.”

Lu Yin released a minor amount of force and pierced Bazeer’s shoulder. Blood flowed down and stained Bazeer’s clothes red. “There’s nothing that you can do about the past. Are you telling me this, hoping that I’ll kill you?”

Bazeer sneered and bellowed despite the extreme pain. “Kill me? Do you even have the guts to do so? All of the criminal accusations you levied towards me are fake. Lord Puyu has already sent his men to gather evidence of the contrary in the Great Yu Empire. Your accusations will quickly be seen through. If you kill me, Lord Puyu definitely will not let you get away scot-free.”

Lu Yin rubbed his forehead. “You’re really an idiot.” He then pressed a hand against Bazeer’s shoulder. “I wonder… If I exert a bit more force on your old injuries, would it be possible for me to create the impression that you died because your injuries couldn’t be treated?”

Bazeer narrowed his eyes. “Do you dare to try? Don’t assume that you can do whatever you want just because you’re representing a Councilor in-name. Everyone listens to Lord Puyu, and the status of my injuries has already been reported to him. If you do anything, he’ll definitely find out about it.”

Lu Yin nodded. “That makes sense. Still, worsening your injuries should be fine. For instance, I can destroy your meridian points.”

Bazeer’s expression quickly changed, and he glared hatefully at Lu Yin, though he remained silent.

Lu Yin eyed the prisoner for a while before bursting into laughter while shaking his head. He pulled his hand back and said, “I’m actually quite thankful towards you. Without you, I wouldn’t have been so motivated to cultivate this hard. Look at how much of a difference excellent talent makes: in less than three years, I’ve already surpassed you. But what about you? You’ve cultivated for decades and have a biological innate gift, but so what? You were still defeated.”

Lu Yin gazed at Bazeer. He didn’t really want anything other than to get some revenge. After all, Bazeer had done something terrible to him back then. However, as Bazeer had said, it was impossible for Lu Yin to do whatever he wanted. Puyu was keeping a close eye on Lu Yin. In fact, Puyu might even be hoping for Lu Yin to do something to Bazeer so that he could use that opportunity to report him to the Ten Arbiters Council and get rid of Lu Yin.

“Regardless of what happens in the future, you’ll be staying here until those allegations are cleared.” Lu Yin then turned around and left.

Bazeer heaved a heavy sigh of relief while glowering at Lu Yin’s retreating back. He’d definitely kill Lu Yin some day.

After leaving the jail, Lu Yin gazed up at the sky. He hadn’t felt any excitement from obtaining revenge, because Bazeer meant nothing to him now. It was no wonder why so many people rushed to take revenge; after all, the intense fury that Lu Yin had felt back when Bazeer humiliated him had long since dissipated after so much time had passed. Now that he had actually achieved his revenge, he was no longer emotional.

“I expected you to kill Bazeer.” An eerie voice sounded out, causing Lu Yin to get goosebumps. He whipped around and stared right at a person leaning against the wall. It was Puyu.

“Why are you here?” Lu Yin was on guard.

Puyu gazed at Lu Yin, and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. “Why did you cancel Darkstar Gorge’s trial at Bushtree Planet?”

“Bushtree Planet is located in the Woori Weave and is therefore under my jurisdiction. I can do whatever I want with it,” Lu Yin answered coldly.

Puyu stared at him. “You’re testing my patience.”

Lu Yin did not back down. “And you’re testing the patience of the Ten Arbiters.”

Puyu’s expression changed, and he looked off into the distance. He started to leave, but before doing so, he said, “If you rush ahead too quickly, you’ll tumble to your death.”

“And if you’re too slow, someone else might crush you,” Lu Yin shot back with a rejoinder.

He would absolutely not return Bushtree Planet to Puyu. This planet was very important to him; he would personally head there himself at some point.

Within the Innerverse, there was a place called Gaia's Swamp. There was no way for anyone to escape from that place, and it was known as the prison that existed in the deepest part of the whole universe.

Shui Chuanxiao was to be imprisoned inside Gaia's Swamp, and it was where he would serve out his sentence of ten thousand years.

Outside Gaia's Swamp, Nightking Zhenwu was personally escorting Shui Chuanxiao into the prison. With a forlorn expression, the Nightking ruefully said, “A famous commander who can’t help the human race expand its territories can only be jailed in Gaia's Swamp where night and day merge together. What a shame.”

Someone walked over from behind Nightking Zhenwu and slowly bowed. “He asked for it. Nobody can save him since he betrayed humanity.”

Nightking Zhenwu lifted his gadget, took a look, and then groaned. He glanced at the man behind him. “You were born on Earth. Do you think that you can deal with Lu Yin?”

The bowing man was Liu Shaoge, and he was now under Nightking Zhenwu. “Yes, my lord.”

The corner of Nightking Zhenwu’s lips curled up. “You hold a huge grudge against him. I hope that you don’t die.”

Liu Shaoge looked up with twinkling eyes. “I will win.”

Nightking Zhenwu nodded. “Then make preparations to leave. I’ll merge my power with you so that you’ll be able to temporarily use my abilities. This will ensure that you’ll be powerful enough to contend with experts at the bottom of the Top Hundred Rankings. It should also be enough for you to win against Lu Yin.”

“Yes, my lord,” Liu Shaoge answered as his eyes lit up.
