Chapter 1594: Foreign Visitors

Space exploded as two experts with power levels of at least a million went head-to-head. Their battle alerted the entire Technocracy, though there was not even the slightest response to Wang Shang’s arrival.

Puff

Hui Kong spat out blood as he stared at Wang Shang in amazement. Hui Kong did not even understand what had just happened; how had he been injured?

Wang Shang actually looked quite embarrassed, and he was clearly impressed by Hui Kong. “I truly underestimate you. I never expected to find such a master in the Forsaken Land. However, you can’t go against my Wang family, so take me to find this child or tell me if you have some connection to him.”

Hui Kong touched his bald head. “Go to hell! He’s my brother!”

He then raised both hands high and pressed down with them. A Golden Meteor appeared overhead and smashed down towards Wang Shang.

Wang Shang sneered. “Just a trick from a little worm!”

He raised his own hand. “Four Arts: Celestial Blade.” A sharp blade slashed out and cut across the meteor, but the power of the meteor was tremendous, and it forced Wang Shang and his Celestial Blade to retreat. He felt his internal organs tremble, and his arms cracked. Hui Kong had used his family’s inherited battle technique, Golden Meteor, which had come from Progenitor Hui. It was not a simple technique to face.

Wang Shang raised a hand yet again, though this time he aimed it at Hui Kong. Wang Shang intended to first badly injure his opponent.

A key characteristic of the Golden Meteor technique was that each meteor could be individually cultivated. After a period of time, a cultivator would be able to condense a meteor with almost their full strength, and there was no limit to the number of meteors that could be cultivated in this fashion.

Hui Kong had been in the Technocracy for countless years, and he had constantly been cultivating Golden Meteors as a deterrent towards the Technocracy. At this moment, he was using them against Wang Shang.

Just as Wang Shang was about to attack Hui Kong, numerous Golden Meteors appeared above his head, and each of them shot towards him.

Even if Wang Shang had survived the slaughter of the rear battlefield and had become fearless in the face of death, he still was not able to take on so many powerful attacks, especially when he was already being pushed back. He tore through the void to make his escape.

However, if the Golden Meteors were so easy to evade, they would never have become the Hui family’s inherited battle technique.

The Golden Meteors shot into the void, chasing after Wang Shang and smashing into him.

Hui Kong gasped for breath. Even if he survived, he knew he was already badly injured. There were too many bizarre techniques in the universe, and there was also an insurmountable gap in existence. Fortunately, Hui Kong had held a trump card.

What the hell did Brother Lu do? Why would such a powerhouse from that place be personally chasing after him?

However, the fact that such an expert was trying to kill Brother Lu also showed that the kid was alive, which was good news.

It looked like Hui Kong would no longer be able to stay in the Technocracy; though that person had been forced back, someone would definitely return, and with greater strength.

While this incident was playing out in the Technocracy, another incident was unfolding in the Outerverse.

Elder He took Yu Mu towards Enron Star, but as they were traveling, they encountered an expert from the Sixth Mainland who had been sent to target Aegis.

The Di family had not been the only ones to target Aegis, as the Autumnfrost family had done so as well.

The Sixth Mainland’s Bloodburn Realm had three powerful families, which were the Di family, the Mojiang clan, and the Autumnfrost family. Of the three, the Mojian clan and the Autumnfrost family had World Imprinters as their ancestors, while the Di family alone had possessed a Cosmic Imprinter. The Di family’s ancestor had also one of the Daosource Sect’s Ten Venerables, but when disaster had struck the Sixth Mainland, the Di ancestor had been killed during the fighting. The Mojiang clan’s ancestor had died long ago, so only the Autumnfrost family had managed to maintain their position in the Bloodburn Realm.

The Sixth Mainland had since moved into the Fifth Mainland’s Outerverse, which meant that the nine Realms were no longer physically divided from each other. Still, people felt a closer connection with those from the same Realm, and so most of the refugees from the Bloodburn Realm had taken refuse with the Autumnfrost family.

“Who might you be?” Elder He studied the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland who stood in front of him. The Envoy was solemn, as he held great animosity towards the people of the Sixth Mainland.

The powerhouse from the Autumnfrost family was known as Uncle Hua. He was an Envoy with a power level of more than 600,000, and he was followed by Di Fa, Autumnfrost Qing, and others from the Sixth Mainland.

“I’m Elder Autumnfrost Hua. Who are you?” Uncle Hua asked. He had deliberately intercepted these two people after seeing that one of them was an Envoy. Since the Sixth Mainland had moved to the Outerverse, they naturally wanted the locals to accept new overlords, and also to win over the Outerverse’s experts. Winning over experts was the fastest method of taking over an area, especially Envoys, as such powerhouses were usually followed by a large number of cultivators.

Elder He’s tone grew more aggressive, “I’m just passing by, so please let me move out of your way.”

Uncle Hua frowned, and Autumnfrost Qing spoke up from behind the Imprinter, “Are you really so rude that you won’t even share your surname?”

Killing intent flickered through Elder He’s eyes. “Just what is it that you want?”

Uncle Hua replied, “You’re an Envoy in the Outerverse, so are you an Outerverse cultivator, or just a passerby?”

“That’s none of your business,” Elder He retorted.

Uncle Hua’s voice grew cold, “The Fifth Mainland’s Outerverse now belongs to my Sixth Mainland, so everyone who belongs to the Outerverse also belongs to my Sixth Mainland; how can your identity be none of my business?”

“The Sixth Mainland? Just a group of stray dogs without a home,” Elder He replied disdainfully.

Autumnfrost Qing and others grew furious, Uncle Hua’s eyes instantly went wide. “What arrogance!”

As the Imprinter shouted, the imprint of Ancestor Autumnfrost appeared behind the expert, and his terrifying aura caused space to tremble.

Elder He was fearless, and he prepared to attack. However, Yu Mu, who had remained behind Elder He, suddenly shouted, “Senior, Junior Yu Mu wishes to ask for something.”

Elder He suddenly looked back, murder raging in his eyes. “Shut up.”

An odd weapon appeared in Uncle Hua’s hand, and he attacked. Elder He reacted quickly, but despite it being a casual blow, Elder He was smacked back, and he spat out blood.

Uncle Hua had a power level of more than 600,000, which already exceeded Elder He’s cultivation level. Additionally, cultivators from the Sixth Mainland enjoyed an innate suppression towards people from the Fifth Mainland. With the support of the imprint and the Imprinter’s bloodline, Elder He was absolutely not Uncle Hua’s opponent.

Uncle Hua snorted coldly and turned to look at Yu Mu. “What do you want?”

Yu Mu was thrilled. He truly did not care about the Fifth or Sixth Mainlands, he just wanted to survive. He felt it would be safer to turn to the Sixth Mainland, with which he had no connection or relationship, than to be saved by Lu Yin. This was because Yu Mu did not believe that Lu Yin would ever let him go.

“This junior is Yu Mu, Outerverse president of the Fifth Mainland’s Shamrock Enterprise. I wish to join the Autumnfrost family,” Yu Mu said as he gave a respectful bow.

***

The Astral River Ark had once amazed Lu Yin, but he had since visited the Neoverse, Perennial World, the Honor Zone, the Bifrost, and the Mother Tree. Everything in the entire Fifth Mainland had become less impressive to Lu Yin’s eyes.

Beep beep beep

Lu Yin answered the call.

“Alliance Leader Lu, I’m sorry. I failed.” Lu Yin heard Elder He’s voice, but the Envoy sounded weak and was coughing.

Lu Yin was taken aback. “Shamrock Enterprise sent out an Envoy?”

“It was someone from the Autumnfrost family.”

Lu Yin grew curious, “How did you get involved with someone from the Autumnfrost family?”

Elder He gave an explanation, and then apologized again, “I’m at fault for Yu Mu being taken away.”

Lu Yin quickly comforted the older man, “Elder He is exaggerating the matter. You are in no way at fault for this matter. I’ll handle this, so please return to Enron Planet to recover.”

“Very well.” Elder He then ended the call.

Lu Yin then immediately contacted Starfox. There was no chance that it was a mere coincidence that someone from the Sixth Mainland’s Autumnfrost family had appeared in the area.

In order to promote a peaceful takeover, and also because of the Aeternals’ invasion, the Sixth Mainland had been proceeding peacefully with their takeover of the Outerverse, and they had restrained themselves from employing acts of war as they had slowly moved eastward. With the Autumnfrost family sending people into the central weaves of the Outerverse, Lu Yin suspected that it might have something to do with Aegis.

Lu Yin mentioned his suspicions to Starfox, and though the old assassin was shocked, he was also grateful towards Lu Yin. Starfox quickly fled with everyone from Aegis.

Starfox had already made an attempt to travel to the west in order to speak with the Di family, but things had not gone well. Lu Yin’s information regarding the presence of members of the Autumnfrost family left Starfox fully convinced that the family was targeting Aegis.

The Di family had already submitted to the Autumnfrost family.

At the same time that Lu Yin was reaching out to Starfox to allow Aegis to evacuate, Yu Mu was speaking to Uncle Hua.

“Aegis is an organization that belongs to Lu Yin. That child has a special position within the Hall of Honor that allows him to recruit subordinate organizations. The Envoy from just now is someone from the Sea King’s Dome, so he will definitely report Senior’s presence here to Lu Yin,” Yu Mu explained.

Uncle Hua immediately sped up. He was moving straight towards Aegis.

Uncle Hua was already quite familiar with Lu Yin’s reputation. Even though Uncle Hua had never personally encountered the youth, Lu Yin had put on a terrifying performance during ZENITH. On top of that, Lu Yin potentially remained the Sixth Mainland’s greatest obstacle to successfully taking over the Outerverse. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance, the Sixth Mainland’s progress would have been much faster.

The moment Autumnfrost Qing heard Lu Yin’s name, the youth clenched his fists and his face twisted into a hideous expression. It was Lu Yin yet again! If possible, Autumnfrost Qing really wanted to kill Lu Yin.

Thinking of Lu Yin caused Autumnfrost Qing to think of Yan Xiaojing and that fatty. Autumnfrost Qing had never stopped looking for those two, as they both needed to die. He could not allow either of those two to escape.

Di Fa stared out into space. Lu Yin had gone missing for a long time, and so Di Fa had not expected to discover that Lu Yin was still alive after vanishing for two full years. After Lu Yin’s return, he had created a massive commotion in the Daosource Sect’s ruins, and had even smashed Di Fa and Nan Yanfei into a sea, nearly killing them. The gap between Di Fa and Lu Yin had only grown larger with time, so would they meet again during this excursion to chase after Aegis?

When Uncle Hua and his party came to the Aegis Planet, they found that the place had been completely abandoned. There was not a living soul on the planet.

Not only had Lu Yin provided warning with sufficient time, Starfox and the others had already prepared themselves for this situation.

Uncle Hua’s face grew ugly.

Yu Mu quickly spoke up, “Senior, that person from the Sea King’s Dome who spoke to Lu Yin. This junior knows where the people from the Sea King’s Dome can be found.”

“Show me.” Uncle Hua’s voice betrayed his bad mood.

Far away, Elder He had returned to Enron Planet. He spoke to the other elders there of what had happened, and Hai Qiqi used her venomous tongue to mock Uncle Hua and others as being worthless. Elder He fell silent for a bit, but then he ordered everyone to evacuate.

“Elder, do we really need to leave?” Hai Dashao asked.

Elder Tong’s eyes flickered, “Yu Mu had to have recognized Elder He, and he also knows our relationship with Lu Yin. Even if I don’t know what will happen with the Autumnfrost family, I do know that Lu Yin will never allow Yu Mu to be taken away. Conflict between them has become inevitable, and we are too exposed. We can easily become targets.”

“So we leave,” Hai Dashao affirmed.

Hai Qiqi was reluctant, “Why does Lu Yin want us to wipe his ass?”

After the passing of several years, she had gradually recovered from the shadow that the loss of the Sea King had cast over her heart. Even though she had not fully recovered, she was doing much better than she had before.

“If you want to bring the Sea King back, you will have to rely on Lu Yin’s power. Only the Great Eastern Alliance is able to make those people from the Sixth Mainland wary. Lu Yin’s foundation goes too deep, and his influence spreads further than anyone else,” Elder Tong spoke with evident emotion. He glanced at Hai Qiqi, thinking it would be great if Lu Yin and Qiqi would get together. In the past, the Sea King could have forced the two together, but such a thing had since become impossible.

Uncle Hua led Yu Mu and the others to Enron Star. However, they were met by the sight of an ordinary planet that was inhabited solely by regular humans. There was no trace of anyone from the Sea King’s Dome.

This caused Uncle Hua to become even more frustrated. The fury of an Envoy caused space to shake, and the planet suffered from disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes.

No one dared to say a word to Uncle Hua, though they also could not have cared less about the lives of the regular humans on the planet.
