Chapter 347: Extortion (1/2)

“You’re rather annoying to deal with,” she commented.

Lu Yin laughed. He was a two-star Discerning Junior Lockbreaker, had two Honor Points, was a member of the Council of Astral Academy, and was a representative of the Outerverse Youth Council. Just one of these identities could safeguard his life, which made things much more interesting. It almost seemed like “the more the merrier.”

“Alright, I’ve said what I needed to. You’re like a hedgehog, able to retaliate no matter what direction someone approaches you from.” She rolled her eyes at Lu Yin.

He smiled. “No matter what, I still have to thank Senior Mira.”

Mira’s eyes lit up, and she lifted Lu Yin’s chin with a hand. “If you really want to thank me, then answer one question.”

“You are prettier,” Lu Yin replied seriously.

She was left speechless. “I haven’t even asked yet.”

“No matter who you may be compared to, Senior Mira is still the prettiest.”

She chuckled. “Alright, I’ll accept your compliment, and I’ll pass it on to Wendy Yushan as well.”

Lu Yin was taken aback by her response and left without saying another word. This woman was crazy in the head! It seemed as if she enjoyed sowing dissent.

Lu Yin released his domain after leaving the tower and relaxed his mind. San Dios’ scope was not that large, and he quickly arrived at the boundary of the floating city. If one looked down from the edge of San Dios, they would see a pretty good view.

The five arched entrances were obvious, and each guard was a Cruiser from the Prairie Flame Continent, not someone from the younger generation.

Lu Yin walked out a short ways away from the arched entrance and looked down. A layer of clouds was blocking his view, so he raised his hand and used a wave of energy to disperse them. Then, the vast mainland finally entered his sight.

The scenery from the top was indeed very different.

At that moment, a figure bursting with bloodlust appeared about one hundred meters behind Lu Yin and stabbed at him with a sword. It was Yan Feng.

Lu Yin had discovered him long ago, but he couldn’t be bothered to do anything.

The guarding Cruiser at the arched door immediately reacted. His strength already easily eclipsed that of his peers, which was why he was qualified to guard San Dios. He quickly suppressed the severely injured Yan Feng and pinned him firmly down to the floor.

Lu Yin walked over to Yan Feng and slowly squatted down next to him. “You also watched the battle of Firesmelt Planet. The one who killed countless people was your father, Yan Wujiu, not me.”

“You’re the one who instigated the war! My father was forced to those extreme actions against his will! Lu Yin, you will pay with your life for the countless lives lost on Firesmelt Planet, as well as for my father’s!” Yan Feng screamed maniacally.

Lu Yin sighed and raised his hand to pat Yan Feng’s shoulder. “You’re clearly tired of living. Go on then, join your father.” As Lu Yin stood up, Yan Feng’s eyes became bloodshot, and his head slowly drooped down. Lu Yin had applied some force, completely shattering all of Yan Feng’s organs and instantly killing him.

The pupils of the Cruiser shrank. He gave Lu Yin an apprehensive look before returning to his post.

Ambushing a representative was a rather serious offense. Lu Yin would not be held accountable for killing Yan Feng in the slightest.

The final danger of Firesmelt Planet had been eliminated, and Lu Yin lazily stretched his body. From now on, Firesmelt Planet was no more. He raised an arm and activated his gadget. “Formulate a battle plan to the unify Frostwave Weave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Huo Qingshan’s voice could be heard in response.

“Seventh Bro, you must have purposely come here to give Yan Feng this opportunity, right?” the Ghost Monkey probed.

Lu Yin blinked. “Who knows? He went crazy long ago, and now, he’s dead.”

“That’s so scary,” the monkey mumbled.

The only person that could threaten Lu Yin in San Dios anymore was Puyu. Lu Yin could not deal with Puyu for now, but he was not in any hurry either. If Puyu was eliminated, then Lu Yin would be done for as well.

For the next few days, Lu Yin peacefully stayed in San Dios, and no one created any trouble for him.

Puyu spent that time investigating the matter of Firesmelt Planet, but strangely enough, he did not cause Lu Yin any trouble. It could only be said that storms were brewing on the horizon.

The other representatives under Wendy Yushan did not automatically express their goodwill to Lu Yin, but he did not pay them any mind. When Puyu previously roped them in, they had only merely feigned their approval. Their ardent desire to preserve their own lives was much stronger than any desire they held for power.

Meanwhile, something happened that caused Lu Yin to feel more awkward—Michelle contacted him.

He had promised to help her comprehend battle force. This would be the third time he had to postpone his promise, and he felt a little embarrassed about doing so.

The battle plans for the Great Yu Empire to unify the Frostwave Weave had already been formulated, and it developed inconceivably quickly. Lu Yin did not even need to look into it to guess that this plan had already been in the works while Undying Yushan was still in power. The plans had not been executed due to various reasons, but now, it was their ideal opportunity to strike.

Lu Yin had wanted to use this plan to drag Wendy Yushan back to the Great Yu Empire, but unfortunately, her ambitions pointed elsewhere. She was already planning to return to San Dios in a few more days.

Jenny Auna had also been sent back to Zenyu Star and had been handed over to the Auna family. Xueshan Auna was extremely grateful for this matter. After all, regardless of how he had tried to use Jenny, she was still his daughter. Thus, the Auna patriarch was deeply grateful towards Lu Yin for not simply killing her.

Lu Yin spent two days perusing all the available information concerning Bushtree Planet since he planned to head over there and retrieve some natural treasures in a few days. However, there was another matter troubling his mind—his financial status. Without money, he would have no use for any of the natural treasures.

The fastest way for him to earn money right now was through lockbreaking, so it looked like he could only focus on that for now.
