Chapter 1645: Give It A Try

The only reason the sylvan dragons had not been completely exterminated was because they served as excellent mounts. Even ignoring Lu Yin, even the Sword Sect wanted to get the dragons.

As long as the Lu Elite Troops managed to gain the sylvan dragons to serve as mounts, their strength would rise yet again. Though it was impossible for every soldier to gain a mount, they could be used as rewards. With the additional support of the white smoke from Smoke-Eater Peaks and two amazing powerhouses like Liu Ye and Fei Hua, the Lu Elite Troops was strong enough to sweep the Innerverse.

Long Yi surrendered, and the rest of the sylvan dragons did as well. Not one of them had the courage to not surrender.

In particular, after they saw Ku Wei arrive with the colossal giants, the sylvan dragons practically buried their faces in the ground on their own.

The natural tendency of living creatures was that the larger the creature, the more powerful it was. The colossal giants were large enough to treat the sylvan dragons like bugs, so when facing the giants, the dragons started panicking and succ.u.mbing to despair.

Lu Yin was left speechless when he saw one of the giants wrapping a dragon around his waist to use as a belt. These giants were simply too savage. They needed to be trained.

"Congratulations, Master! You are invincible and have become the ruler of Blazing Mist Flowzone. From now on, Blazing Mist Flowzone will no longer have the Blaze Realm, the Ross Empire, and the sylvan dragon clan. Instead, you will rule it all, Master. There will only be the Great Eastern Alliance." Ku Wei’s habit to kiss a.s.s was something that could not be changed, but one had to admit that it was nice to hear such flattery.

Also, Ku Wei was the captain of the Tenth Imperial Squadron of the Great Yu Empire. With him gaining command of the colossal giants, someone else would need to replace him as captain of the Tenth Squadron.

Thinking of the Thirteenth Imperial Squadrons from the Great Yu Empire caused Lu Yin to remember Undying Yushan. Just what was that old man planning?

The sylvan dragon clan had been recaptured, but it would not be easy to train them to be willing mounts. Thus, Lu Yin left the giants in the Dragon Realm to intimidate the dragons, though Lu Yin led Long Yi himself back to the Ross Empire’s mobile fortress that was its capitol.

Also, Lu Yin had almost forgotten, but besides the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragons, there was also a third party in Blazing Mist Flowzone: Royal Frost Continent. However, Lu Yin had no intention of attacking the continent. It was guardian to a sourcebox array that Progenitor Hui had warranted. Lu Yin could not figure out what was sealed, and it left him very nervous.

Also, the Royal Frost Continent had their Frostgate Army, which had a name that was almost the same as the Perennial World’s Humility’s Gate. The Frostgate Army consisted of eighty-six powerhouses who were kept in cryostasis. The average member of the Frostgate Army was an Enlighter with a power level of 200,000. If those people could join the Lu Elite Troops, the army’s strength would take a leap forward.

Just thinking of the possibility left Lu Yin hopeful.

Besides the Royal Frost Continent, there was also the Gasfire Alliance.

Once the Great Eastern Alliance gained control of Blazing Mist Flowzone, the Gasfire Alliance’s Paige called w.a.n.g Wen, hoping the alliance would be able to find a home in Blazing Mist Flowzone.

The Gasfire Alliance consisted of those who had been persecuted by the Blaze Realm. After the Great Eastern Alliance had pulled out of Blazing Mist Flowzone, the Gasfire Alliance had been chased off by the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragons, and they had also retreated from Blazing Mist Flowzone. However, the Great Eastern Alliance had made a comeback and had taken over all of Blazing Mist Flowzone, so the Gasfire Alliance was hoping to catch a break.

Lu Yin did not refuse, and he offered them a small region for their own. The Gasfire Alliance had helped Lu Yin in the past, and they also posed no threat to him at all. They did not have even a single Enlighter, and their most powerful expert was a Hunter known as Uncle Meng. The man did not even qualify to become a captain of one of the Great Yu Empire’s Thirteen Imperial Squadrons.

As far as Lu Yin was concerned, the only secret left in Blazing Mist Flowzone was what was sealed beneath the sourcebox array in the Royal Frost Continent.

Lu Yin stepped onto Long Yi, and the dragon flew away, quickly taking Lu Yin to the Ross Empire’s mobile fortress.

As they pa.s.sed through the battlefield, they saw the corpses of sylvan dragons drifting through s.p.a.ce, as well as pieces of the Ross Empire’s warships. The sight left Long Yi sad, for while they had fought and died, it had only benefited others in the end.

However, the end had not yet arrived. Long Yi was fully convinced that the Sword Sect and the other Innerverse forces would not allow the Great Eastern Alliance to enter the Innerverse so easily.

Beep beep beep

Lu Yin glanced down at his gadget, and a smile crept across his face as he answered the call. "h.e.l.lo, Senior Liu."

Liu Qianjue's voice came through with a solemn tone. "Alliance Leader Lu, do you intend to declare war on the entire Innerverse?"

"I don't quite understand what Senior is saying."

"The Great Eastern Alliance belongs to the Outerverse. The utmost limit that the Innerverse will accept is allowing you to stay in Fennel Flowzone. The Innerverse cannot accept any part of you taking over Blazing Mist Flowzone."

Lu Yin looked up. "Since when does the Sword Sect represent the entire Innerverse?"

Liu Qianjue fell silent for a bit. "It appears that Alliance Leader Lu is determined to keep Blazing Mist Flowzone."

"Of course not."

Lu Yin’s unexpected words caused Liu Qianjue's eyes to suddenly focus. "What do you mean by that?"

"If we’re given First Flowzone, we can readily leave Blazing Mist Flowzone, but that depends entirely on whether or not the Sword Sect is willing to make that trade." Lu Yin smiled.

Liu Qianjue did not become angry, as doing so was pointless at this time. "I hope you don't come to regret this."

Liu Qianjue simply hung up, but then Ling Qiu called Lu Yin. "Alliance Leader Lu, can the Great Eastern Alliance stop the attack of a united Innerverse?"

"Give it a try." Lu Yin was unruffled.

Ling Qiu frowned. "I know you, whether through our intelligence channels or Wendy Yushan, I know you well. I know you make plans before moving. Since you’ve taken over Blazing Mist Flowzone, you are absolutely able to keep it. I simply want to ask you one thing: of the Innerverse, is Blazing Mist Flowzone all that you require?"

Lu Yin’s gaze grew sharp. This woman was smart, and she wanted to gauge Lu Yin’s intentions, much like Cang Zhou had done before.

After Lu Yin did not answer, Ling Qiu's tone of voice revealed her displeasure. “Could it be that you are looking at the entire Innerverse? Do you hope to become master of the Innerverse as well?"

Lu Yin pursed his lips. Sometimes a woman’s intuition would drive a man insane. This woman was openly expressing her thoughts, and she must have recorded Lu Yin’s reactions. If she revealed this video to the rest of the universe, it could be treated as evidence.

While there were times that such evidence was meaningless when war was on the horizon, if both sides were of equal strength, such evidence could play a key role by allowing more people to have an excuse to step forward.

"As long as others don't push me, I, Lu Yin, am very trustworthy," Lu Yin replied. He liked this phrase, and he had frequently said it to Long Xi.

Ling Qiu frowned. "Alliance Leader Lu, I'm asking if your goal is only Blazing Mist Flowzone or the entire Innerverse."

"Matriarch Ling Qiu, having bad hearing can be a symptom of a health problem that needs to be treated. By the way, how is Wendy doing with your Lingling clan? You won't hold her as a hostage, right? Ling Gong doesn’t have the best personality."

"Alliance Leader Lu, it would seem that you are looking at the entire Innerverse."

Just as Ling Qiu finished speaking, another voice was heard. "Lu Yin, who are you saying has a bad personality?" It was Ling Gong.

Lu Yin sneered. "In Daosource Sect ruins, you forced me to remove your clothes and treat you, but you refused to admit it afterwards. By the way, do you still like Wendy? I caution you not to touch Wendy."

"Shut up! Lu Yin, I'm going to kill you!" Ling Gong was furious.

Ling Qiu scolded her daughter, "Shut up!"

Lu Yin just hung up. The Lingling clan was not easy to deal with. Just now they had trapped him with his own words. If it was ever believed that he was targeting the entire Innerverse, Ling Qiu could spread her recording around the Innerverse, and it might be enough to unite the various flowzones. It might even pull Venom Flowzone out of their isolation, which would be a problem.

Lu Yin was familiar with most of the Innerverse, but Venom Flowzone remained one place that he was very wary of. Transience had come from that place, as well as countless poisonous creatures, and it was also full of poisonous gas. Venom Flowzone alone was able to stop the Great Eastern Alliance from moving a single inch.

He needed to find a way to keep Venom Flowzone from becoming his stumbling block on the path to unifying the Innerverse. The Sixth Mainland had already failed to pierce through the shroud that caused Venom Flowzone to be such a mysterious existence. Lu Yin had a very difficult task before him.

Liu Qianjue, Ling Qiu, Wen Zizai, and Mountain G.o.d had all spoken with Lu Yin to show him their positions regarding his recent moves.

After Lu Yin arrived at the Ross Empire’s mobile fortress with Long Yi, the four Innerverse powers officially decided to work together to drive the Great Eastern Alliance out of Blazing Mist Flowzone.

In Beast Tamers Flowzone’s Divine Hall, the old woman returned home exhausted. Soon after she sat down, she opened her gadget and stared at a star chart.

Beast Tamers Flowzone had already begun to gather their disciples. Every cultivator from the First and Second Grade Halls who possessed at least the strength of an Explorer was to be sent out.

Still, there were some people within the three halls who held great hatred towards the Sword Sect and Lingling clan. It would not be easy to settle this hatred without proving that the Great Eastern Alliance was behind the various a.s.sa.s.sinations.

The old woman’s eyes started flickering. If it proved to be truly impossible to verify such a thing, her only option would be to fabricate the evidence in order to frame the Great Eastern Alliance as the hidden knife. No matter who had truly been the one behind those elite youths’ deaths, she would do anything it took so long as her Beast Tamers Flowzone could cooperate with the Sword Sect and the other Innerverse powers to drive the Great Eastern Alliance out. The bigger picture was what was most important.

As the woman was considering how to fabricate such evidence, her face suddenly grew flushed and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body shook as she crumpled to the ground and quickly died.

Such events repeated within the Sword Sect, the Lingling clan, the Wen family, and some of the forces from smaller flowzones. Everyone who died had been listed on the second card that w.a.n.g Wen had showed Lu Yin. These were all people who tended to focus on the bigger picture and the status of the entire Innerverse, while also having the status and position to influence the leaders of their respective powers. Without eliminating these people, the first stage of w.a.n.g Wen’s plan would prove pointless.

Only after the people on his second list were eliminated would there be guaranteed problems regardless of how the Innerverse powers tried to cooperate.

Even though w.a.n.g Wen’s plan was a bit too obvious, there was no other way, as the Great Eastern Alliance did not have the ability to deal with the people on both lists simultaneously.

Mountain G.o.d soon learned of the old woman’s death, and he became furious. Even an idiot would realize that the Great Eastern Alliance was behind this. Mountain G.o.d immediately called Lu Yin, but the alliance leader simply refused to admit that he had any connection to the old woman’s death. Lu Yin was not only dealing with Mountain G.o.d, as the Sword Sect, the Lingling clan, and the Wen family had all had important people killed.

The people who had died had formed the core of the Innerverse’s alliance, and things instantly took a turn for the worst with their deaths.

Of particular concern was the fact that the Wen family refused to openly unite with the other powers, which left the Sword Sect feeling cornered.

While all of this was playing out, someone reached out to the Lingling clan matriarch, Ling Qiu. It was the Cosmic Sect’s Elder Yuan Shou.

"If Lu Yin continues in this manner, it’s simply a matter of time before the flames of war reach the Neoverse. Matriarch Ling Qiu, my Cosmic Sect has decided to move against the Great Eastern Alliance," Elder Yuan Shou solemnly reported.

Ling Qiu was overjoyed at hearing these words, as they meant that an alliance with the Sword Sect and Beast Tamers Flowzone could no longer be avoided. Venom Flowzone and Chaos Flowzone had still not said a single word, and Ling Qiu had grown worried over how to proceed. She had never expected to receive support from the Neoverse.

Not only were they receiving support from the Neoverse, it was the Cosmic Sect itself that was offering to support them! Any one of their elders was an Envoy, and even Elder Yuan Shou who had reached out to Ling Qiu likely possessed a similar level of strength as she did. They had true experts with power levels that exceeded a million! It was impossible to even dream of better support than the Cosmic Sect.

"Has the Cosmic Sect truly decided to move against the Great Eastern Alliance? Lu Yin has an excellent relationship with Eversky Island, and there are rumors that he represented Eversky Island as an exchange student who studied at your sect," Ling Qiu could not help but voice her doubts.

Elder Yuan Shou snorted derisively. "The bigger picture is what’s important. Our sect master has secretly gathered 100,000 disciples, and there are plans to use the Soldier Crew to travel to the Innerverse. However, Lu Yin has powerful people supporting him, so we cannot make this public. Because of that, I must ask Matriarch Ling Qiu to please answer when the time comes. At this time, the plan calls for the Lingling clan, this old man, Elder Yao Shan, and Elder Yuan Ke to all take action at the same time so that we can be sure to land a blow that will eliminate the threat of the Great Eastern Alliance with one blow."
