Star Odyssey Chapter 1668

Chapter 1673: Bathing Pool

Lu Yin calmly stared at the people around him. “The biggest difference between the old and the young people is that young people are impatient. You guys enjoy your chat; I’m going to head out first.”

“Alliance Leader Lu, you’ve already taken control of Blazing Mist and Daynight Flowzones, so what’s your next target?” Mountain God bellowed.

Lu Yin glared at the man. “Guess.”

Mountain God was furious, and he even wanted to attack, but the presence of Liu Ye and Fei Hua forced him towards discretion. On top of that, both Chen Huang and Long Yi were also very powerful.

Lu Yin had almost the same number of Envoys as all of the gathered Innerverse forces, and he still had Emperor Luo back in Blazing Mist Flowzone. On top of that, there were also some people from the Sea King’s Dome who were still in the Outerverse.

Lu Yin’s foundation was truly very impressive.

“Seniors, if you have nothing else to say, then I’ll take my leave.” With that, Lu Yin left immediately. He had no time to talk to these people, as he was eager to learn the Sealed Cage Technique and take total control of the Daynight clan.

After Lu Yin left, Liu Qianjue turned to confront Wen Zizai. “What’s your Wen family trying to do?”

Wen Zizai remained calm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Brother Liu.”

Liu Qianjue coldly demanded, “Is this related to Wen Diyi?”

Wen Zizai met Liu Qianjue’s glare. “If Lu Yin was in possession of the Fourteenth Sword, what would you do?”

Liu Qianjue was stunned.

Wen Zizai just shook his head and left. He was well aware of his current situation. There was nobody in the Innerverse capable of stopping Lu Yin, so why should the Wen family bother with even attempting? Unless, of course, the Neoverse was willing to help.

For the Wen family, the most important person in existence was Wen Diyi and the complete version of Literary Prison. As long as they obtained the full technique, the Wen family would be able to regain all their glory and respect, and they would not even need to stay in the Innerverse. They would have a chance of entering the Neoverse, and Wen Zizai refused to believe that Lu Yin was daring enough to go against the Neoverse powers.

Mountain God turned towards Ling Qiu. “What about your Lingling Clan? Why aren’t you doing anything?”

Ling Qiu snorted. “I don’t have to explain myself.”

She left in a huff.

Mountain God was furious. “What are you idiots thinking? Do you really intend to let Lu Yin rule the entire Innerverse?”

Liu Qianjue just watched as Ling Qiu left. There was something wrong; the Wen family was being threatened by Lu Yin because of some Wen Diyi, but why would the Lingling clan also be acting strangely?

Ling Qiu was anxious as she left, as she was hoping to meet with Elder Jiu Shen. She had been looking forward to meeting with him for several days, but her efforts had proven fruitless.

During these days, she kept remembering the scene of Elder Jiu Shen sending Lu Yin out of the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. Why would Elder Jiu Shen have done that when they were confronted with such grave danger? She had been told that the Cosmic Sect was working against Lu Yin, so why would the elder risk himself to save the youth?

She had considered many possibilities, and she had even come up with a possible answer, though she refused to accept it. In the end, she had to speak with Elder Jiu Shen to uncover the truth.

However, she never managed to find the man, and Ling Qiu was also unaware that Elder Jiu Shen had already left.

Ling Qiu called Elder Yuan Shou, as he was the person who had promised the Lingling clan that the Cosmic Sect would help the clan deal with Lu Yin.

Elder Yuan Shou answered the call.

“Elder Yuan Shou, Lu Yin has seized control of Daynight Flowzone. Why hasn’t the Cosmic Sect done anything?” Ling Qiu asked rudely.

Elder Yuan Shou became annoyed. “Does the Cosmic Sect answer to you?”

Ling Qiu’s voice grew cold. “I saw your Cosmic Sect’s Elder Jiu Shen rescue Lu Yin from the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins.”

Elder Yuan Shou hesitated. He had known about the ruins and that there were various Neoverse forces currently negotiating with Leon’s Armada for them to take their youths to the Innerverse. However, Yuan Shou had been ignorant of the fact that Jiu Shen had rescued Lu Yin and that Ling Qiu had seen it happen.

“Are you sure it was Elder Jiu Shen? Have you ever met the elder before?” Elder Yuan Shou retorted.

“I went to the Neoverse when I first became an Envoy, and I visited the Cosmic Sect during my trip. I met Elder Jiu Shen once before.”

“You must have seen someone else. Elder Jiu Shen has remained within our sect this entire time and has not left,” Elder Yuan Shou stated confidently.

Ling Qiu frowned. “Elder Jiu Shen hasn’t left?”

“No. I don’t know who you saw, but get your facts straight before confronting me.” Elder Yuan Shou hung up.

Ling Qiu fell deep into thought; could that person have not been Elder Jiu Shen? That was impossible. She had met the man when visiting the Cosmic Sect, and she was absolutely certain that he had rescued Lu Yin.

Ling Qiu was no fool. No matter how vehemently Elder Yuan Shou denied her accusation, she needed to start preparing for the worst case scenario.

If Lu Yin managed to convince the Cosmic Sect to play along with him, then the situation would be incredibly serious. Lu Yin had exposed his various connections during the war in the Cosmic Sea, and this also indicated that there was a very low chance of any of the Neoverse powers sending experts to stop Lu Yin’s efforts. Ling Qiu needed to keep brainstorming and thinking for a way to resolve this matter.

Elsewhere, Lu Yin had already started learning the Sealed Cage Technique.

Bai Shui had said that the technique was easy to learn, so Lu Yin had ordered his army to stand and watch over the members of the Daynight clan while he started training nearby.

The Sealed Cage Technique had been recorded in a piece of jade, just like the battle technique Extremes Must Be Reversed. All Lu Yin needed to do was crush the jade.

He sat on the ground.

Off in the distance, Nightqueen Yanqing and the other members of the Daynight clan had been forced onto the ground. Their pleas for Lu Yin’s death when the Second Nightking had appeared had angered the colossal giants and the Lu Elite Troops, which had caused them to suffer harsh treatments in response. Each of them was beaten until their bodies hurt if they even twitched. Nightking Yuanjing was in the worst condition, as all four of his limbs had been shattered. He was laying on the ground with blood streaming down his back.

Only the Nightkings were suffering from such torture, as the normal members of the Daynight clan had been merely captured. Their treatment was actually slightly better than what the Daykings had suffered through.

Zhuo Daynight watched all of them from a ways away. The Nightkings were finally feeling the same desperation that had once plagued her. For her, the only pity was that Nightking Zhenwu had already died and was not alive to experience this.

“You’re really happy, aren’t you?” Nightqueen Yanqing spat when Zhuo Daynight was just about to leave.

Nightqueen Yanqing glared at Zhuo Daynight. The Nightqueen’s face was pale, her lips were cracked, and there was even blood dripping from her lips.

A Hunter from the Lu Elite Troops glared at Nightqueen Yanqing before white smoke smashed into her back. Nightqueen Yanqing collapsed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Stop,” Zhuo Daynight commanded.

The Hunter looked over at Zhuo Daynight and slowly stepped back.

At this moment, there was still no true commander of the Lu Elite Troops. Lu Yin commanded the army at the moment, and he had appointed Zhuo Daynight as the deputy commander. This gave Zhuo Daynight the right to order anyone in the Lu Elite Troops.

Nightqueen Yanqing struggled to raise her head to meet Zhuo Daynight’s eyes. “You’re really happy, right?”

Zhuo Daynight calmly approached the other woman. “Why would I be happy?”

“You’ve managed to get revenge, and the Nightkings have been forced into such a pathetic situation. Aren’t you happy?” Nightqueen Yanqing screamed.

Zhuo Daynight’s voice was cold. “Were you happy when Nightking Zhenwu killed my parents and the rest of my family?”

Nightqueen Yanqing was stunned, and she stared at Zhuo Daynight in a daze.

Zhuo Daynight watched Nighqueen Yanqing. “I want to get revenge on Nightking Zhenwu, but he’s already dead, and I wasn’t even the one to kill him. I don’t care about the rest of you. The person who controls your fate now is Lu Yin, not me.”

Nightqueen Yanqing closed her eyes. She felt both grief and helplessness; there was literally nothing that she could do.

The mighty Daynight clan had been reduced to such a pathetic state. She should have killed Lu Yin back when they had both been in the Astral Combat Academy. In her anger, she turned to glare at Nightking Yuanjing; all of this was his fault. The idiot had believed Lu Yin’s lies, and that had caused the destruction of the entire Daynight clan.

Zhuo Daynight left.

The Nightkings silently awaited their fate.

There were some buildings that stood deep in the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. Although some of them were extremely fragile, others remained well maintained, such as the great hall.

At this moment, there were many people gathered in the great hall, and Ku Wei was seated at the head of the table.

Ku Wei had his legs propped up on the table and a smug smirk on his face.

Wen Sansi, Unseen Light, Lei Nü, Ling Gong, and many others were also present, including two Enlighters whose power levels were more than 300,000.

“Have you thought it through? Speak up!” Ling Gong shouted, startling Ku Wei.

Ku Wei rolled his eyes. “Woman, it’s no wonder why Master said that you have a bad temper. Just wait and let me think about it.”

Ling Gong threw her spear at Ku Wei, but he just grinned and used Finger Tap. Ripples spread through the air, and there was a bang. Wen Sansi instantly used Literary Prison to block the shockwaves from the impact. “Don’t be rash. Do you want to destroy this place?”

Ling Gong snorted and put her spear away before glaring at Ku Wei with cold eyes.

She had met him in the past, and she already knew that this person always followed Lu Yin around and acted as his lackey. However, she had never expected Ku Wei to possess a level of strength that was comparable to her own. How had he accomplished such a feat?

Apart from Ling Gong, Wen Sansi, Unseen Light, and the others gathered had also been astonished by what they had seen. Ku Wei had improved far too quickly, and he now stood on the same level as them. Despite being from the Seven Courts’ Ku family, the Ku family’s inheritor was Ku Lei, not Ku Wei.

Ku Wei smugly raised his head up high. He had always wanted to fight against the former Arbiters, and even though he was a bit late, he had finally caught up to them.

Fortunately, he had obtained Progenitor Chen’s blood, which had greatly improved his strength. Without it, he would have never been able to stand up to these people before him.

“Brother Ku, you heard what the Chief Justice said: the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins belong to the entire Human Domain, and they should not be monopolized. It’s not good for you to post a giant at that pond and forbid people from approaching it,” Wen Sansi said politely. Everyone from the Wen family was very polite to members of the Great Eastern Alliance.

Ku Wei sneered. “The Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins are not to be monopolized, and we haven’t done so in the least. After all, aren’t you here right now? As for that pond…”

Everyone looked at Ku Wei with increasing intensity.

Ku Wei laughed. “That’s the bathwater of the future wife of my master, so why would any of you want to check it out?”

“Bullshit!” an Enlighter exclaimed angrily.

Ku Wei glared at the man and flicked a finger. Given his new level of strength, even a gentle finger flick was extremely powerful, and the cultivator was blasted out of the great hall.
