Star Odyssey-Chapter 1778: It Will Fall Under The Lu Surname

Chapter 1778: It Will Fall Under The Lu Surname

At this time, many people from the Divine Venom Dynasty suddenly surrounded Lu Yin, glaring at him with murder in their eyes. Lu Yin was Qing Shaohuang’s enemy, so naturally, he was the Divine Venom Dynasty’s enemy.

Countless jincans filled the sky and covered the ground as numerous people surrounded the imperial palace. All of them were just waiting for the word to attack Lu Yin with their full might.

Little Mountain God and other guests all looked quite relaxed. Even though Qing Shaohuang had been arrested and taken away by the Chief Justice, it was simply something the man had brought down upon himself. Regardless, the Great Eastern Alliance was the one that was about to run out of luck, as there would soon be no Enlighters at all. As for Envoys? That was even more impossible.

None of the Innerverse representatives actually cared about the Divine Venom Dynasty doom. They were just there to watch the fun.

Lu Yin glanced around before his eyes finally landed on Prince Qing Li. "Is this how the Divine Venom Dynasty feels about me?"

Qing Li dropped his head before looking back at Lu Yin. Everything that had just happened flashed through the prince’s head. Finally, he raised a hand and waved it.

"Your Highness, His Majesty was ruined by this person. Please allow us to kill him!" someone shouted as they glared at Lu Yin.

Many people agreed with the man, including even some of the Divine Venom Dynasty’s ministers. Anyone who was able to enter the imperial palace would be a cultivator with a jincan, so Lu Yin was surrounded by all kinds of jincans.

Far away, beyond the imperial palace, Xiao Fa and the other contestants from the jincan exposition of the banquet were all driven out of the imperial palace.

Attendant Yi woke up, looking completely dazed.

The man had been quite lucky, as his Life-Prolonging Butterfly had allowed him to survive the Second Nightking’s attack. After that, he had also been fortunate enough to avoid being dragged away by the Chief Justice to be investigated. Normally, someone like Attendant Yi would have been arrested as well simply because of his relationship with Qing Shaohuang.

"Where is His Majesty?" Attendant Yi was completely confused. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Prince Qing Li raised a hand and formed a claw that swept out. Attendant Yi slowly fell to the ground, unable to even close his eyes.

Lu Yin watched the events unfold with an odd expression.

Even though the Second Nightking had not released a particularly powerful attack, it had still been more than enough to kill Attendant Yi. The man had only managed to survive thanks to the Life-Prolonging Butterfly he had possessed. Also, the Second Nightking had not released a second attack, so Attendant Yi could be considered lucky for surviving such an encounter. Still, even after living through such an event, Attendant Yi ended up dying at Prince Qing Li’s hands.

Qing Li’s eyes showed open disgust as he stared at Attendant Yi’s corpse. The man had instigated many things, including even Elder Lianxin's meeting with Qing Shaohuang. The chief attendant had also been a driving force in the emperor’s hostile attitude towards the Great Eastern Alliance. Without Attendant Yi, things might have turned out very differently.

The man should have died long ago.

"Alliance Leader Lu, my Divine Venom Dynasty has no ill will towards you. We trapped you with the two-headed centipede because I felt that someone was going to attack you, so I wanted to protect you. As things have just proven, someone did indeed try to attack you." The prince spoke in a sincere tone.

Lu Yin gave the man a very odd look.

Lu Yin was far from alone, as everyone was giving Qing Li odd looks. Just how thick-skinned did someone need to be to say such a thing after everything that had happened.

Even the people from the Divine Venom Dynasty looked at the prince oddly. Was this man really Prince Qing Li? The man who ignored all government affairs, was occasionally a bit arrogant, but also was clearly afraid of death? Was this the same prince who was only good at covering his own ass? Even though the man’s words had been truly shameless, they had also erased most of the most blatant hostility that existed between the Divine Venom Dynasty and Lu Yin.

Not only that, he had also shown Lu Yin his goodwill by killing Attendant Yi.

Lu Yin felt like he was seeing Qing Li for the first time. This man had much greater tolerance than Qing Shaohuang. Lu Yin had initially felt that the prince harbored no ambitions and simply feared death, however, it instead looked like Qing Li was more suited to rule the Divine Venom Dynasty than Qing Shaohuang had been.

At the very least, Qing Li was thick-skinned.

Lu Yin smiled. "So the Divine Venom Dynasty has no animosity towards me?"

"Of course not." Prince Qing Li sounded perfectly sincere. "The Great Eastern Alliance holds control of Fennel Flowzone, which is the gateway to our Venom Flowzone. My Divine Venom Dynasty had no issues with this change, and we even offered our help. When we invited Alliance Leader Lu to visit us here, and yet that slave dared to offend Alliance Leader Lu. In order to offer an apology, my imperial brother was willing to allow Alliance Leader Lu to enter our treasury and choose anything you liked.

"As for the Second Nightking's attack and the deaths that occurred, that matter was purely accidental. The Daynight clan was trying to provoke dissension between us, so please please don't believe what the Second Nightking said at that time. Alliance Leader Lu should be even more familiar with the Daynight clan than us; when Nightking Zhenwu and Alliance Leader Lu were about to fight each other, the alliance leader was poisoned before the fight. People from such a clan cannot be trusted at all."

Qing Longlong felt like this was her first time seeing her uncle. He had always been someone who did not seem to like to speak too much, but he had clearly seen through many of the matters at the heart of the current issue.

Qing Li’s retelling of events was not particularly clever, and the best that anyone could say was that the prince had thick skin. With Qing Shaohuang taken away for his trial, Lu Yin no longer considered becoming the Divine Venom Dynasty’s enemy. Instead, his goal was to have Venom Flowzone join the Eastern Border. Alliances, not create a new enemy.

Prince Qing Li had already shown his friendliness towards Lu Yin, so Lu Yin did not mind giving the prince a path forward.

"Your Excellency is quite right; you really can't trust the members of the Daynight clan," Lu Yin agreed in an emotional voice.

The prince let out a sigh of relief.

Qing Li was in a very different position from what Qing Shaohuang had held. Even if Lu Yin did not have the Great Eastern Alliance after it disappeared, Qing Li would never want to offend Lu Yin. This person was simply too cruel.

"Your Majesty, Qing Shaohuang viewed Lu Yin as a terrible enemy, and he caused the imperial palace to be destroyed. Lu Yin is the reason that the Divine Venom Dynasty will soon be surrounded by the Great Eastern Alliance. Have you already forgotten all this?" Mr. You asked.

"The Great Eastern Alliance will soon disappear," Ling Gong said in a mocking tone as she stared at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin blinked and turned to look at Ling Gong. "The Great Eastern Alliance will soon disappear? What are you talking about?"

Ling Gong’s voice was cold. "Right now, Blazing Mist Flowzone should be quite the exciting place. Why don’t you check for yourself?"

Lu Yin glanced at Yuehua Mavis and Balsam, and then Wen Yao, Wen Sansi, Qing Longlong, Ling Que, and everyone else present. "It appears that something happened while I was trapped by that two-headed centipede.

"Actually, when I got out, I wanted to invite all of you to watch a show, but the Neohuman Alliance popped up, and then the Chief Justice, and that just threw everything off, but maybe we’re not too late to catch the show." Lu Yin then raised a hand and activated his gadget to connect to someone.

A short while later, a display appeared that expanded larger and larger until it floated above the ruins of the imperial palace. It showed a fierce battle taking place. Mountain God was fighting. Chen Huang was the one battling with Mountain God, and their battle was shaking stars.

Chen Huang was accompanied by another figure in his fight against Mountain God: Emperor Luo was working with the colossal giant.

The two had teamed up to deal with Mountain God, but they were still suffering a disadvantage.

"Alliance Leader, Mountain God is still the leader of one of the great flowzones. Even if he’s one of the weakest of the eight leaders, he’s still not someone Chen Huang and Emperor Luo can handle." A voice spoke up.

As soon as the person finished speaking, the nine lined battle force covering Chen Huang's body were shattered, and the massive body was forced back. Mountain God pressed his advantage, and Chen Huang spat out blood.

It was clear that Mountain God had gained the upper hand, but for some reason, Little Mountain God was not happy about what he saw. This was because the voice of the person reporting to Lu Yin sounded far too relaxed.

Lu Yin indifferently replied, "If they can’t beat him, just swap opponents. Just don’t die."

"There’s no need for that. Someone will come help soon." After the voice spoke again, five interlocking rings of plum blossoms appeared, freezing space. The Royal Frost Continent’s Frost Emperor had appeared, and he had attacked Mountain God. Further away, there was a phoenix that had been frozen solid within the void. It was Abel Phoenix.

As soon as Lu Yin saw the Frost Emperor step onto the battlefield, he lost interest. "Call Wei Rong."

Another screen appeared in the sky, and this one also showed a battle. There were two women: Ling Qiu, the Lingling clan’s matriarch, and the master of the Yōu family, Madam Yōu.

"Madam Yōu?" Ling Gong and Ling Que were both shocked. "Impossible! The Yōu family is controlled by the Sword Sect! How could Madam Yōu attack my Lingling clan?"

While Madam Yōu’s power level could not compare to Ling Qiu’s, Madam Yōu was someone from the Seven Courts’ Yōu clan, and that was a background that was incomparable to the Lingling clan. It was difficult for either of the women to gain the upper hand in their battle.

"Call Ku Wei."

Another display rose into the sky. This video was shaky, as the person controlling the video on the other end of the call was fleeing, and sword qi kept flashing across the screen. The void was continuously shattered, but no one could be seen.

"Master, your disciple doesn’t dare get any closer! That’s the fight between Liu Qianjue and Ling Taizu!" Ku Wei's voice was the one that was heard this time.

Ling Gong suddenly stepped forward to stare at the display. Even though she could not see anything, what Ku Wei had just reported should not be wrong: Liu Qianjue was fighting against Ling Taizu.

But why? Wasn’t Liu Qianjue supposed to be attacking the Great Eastern Alliance? Why would he have targeted the Lingling clan?

Lu Yin was surprised. "Ling Taizu? I didn't expect another powerhouse to appear."

"What's going on?" Little Mountain God suddenly shouted, and he quickly turned towards Li Zimo for an answer. "Why is your Sword Sect helping the Great Eastern Alliance?"

Ling Gong, Wen Yao, Mr. You, and everyone else present also focused on Li Zimo.

The Sword Sect had defected. Liu Qianjue and Madam Yōu were both helping the Great Eastern Alliance, which had completely altered the balance of the battlefield. Even the arrival of Ling Taizu, who had always remained hidden, proved useless. This was also ignoring that Lu Yin always had other powerhouses of his own.

This was the show that Lu Yin wanted to share with everyone.

Li Zimo remained perfectly calm and did not even speak.

Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back, and his melodious voice echoed across all of Divine Venom Continent. "Daynight Flowzone, Chaos Flowzone, Blazing Mist Flowzone, and First Flowzone all belong to our Great Eastern Alliance. Venom Flowzone had been sealed until it is investigated by the Interstellar Supreme Court. Tell me, who else can join your resistance?"

At this point, Lu Yin looked at Wen Sansi. "What is Erudite Flowzone’s position?"

Wen Sansi stared intently at Lu Yin for a moment. "My Wen family and the Great Eastern Alliance have always been friends. We have never had any hostility towards each other."

Lu Yin showed a small smile. "After today, the Great Eastern Alliance will officially take over all eight of the Innerverse’s great flowzones."

Everyone stared at Lu Yin in stunned silence.

At this moment, Qing Li was Venom Flowzone’s representative, but he could not deny Lu Yin’s claim. No, he did not dare refute Lu Yin’s claim. Qing Shaohuang’s fate had already set an example.

Little Mountain God and the others all stared blankly at the battles being shown on the screens in the sky. No one knew how to react.

This was the day that the Great Eastern Alliance should have collapsed, so why were things turning out so differently? What had gone wrong? Why was the Sword Sect helping Lu Yin?

Lu Yin looked around at the crowd. This was not enough. It still was not enough. This was just the starting point. If he wanted to fully unite the Innerverse into his Great Eastern Alliance, it would need a bit of time, but it could not be too long.

This place would eventually fall under the Lu surname as it would be conquered by Lu Yin. No one could stop this from coming to pass.

Regardless of whether Liu Qianjue or Ling Taizu won, the Great Eastern Alliance would still be the final victor, as there was also Liu Huang, who had not yet made a move.𝚏𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘄𝑒𝘣𝘯𝒐vel*𝒄𝗼𝑚

Liu Huang had stayed in hiding, as he was afraid of being sent back to Gaia's Swamp. Otherwise, the swordsman would have moved out long ago.

Just as Lu Yin was thinking about this, there was a sudden change, and sword qi slashed across space, cutting open a broad region of the universe and revealing the true universe.

That was Liu Huang’s sword qi.

Lu Yin's eyes went wide; who else was there?

He watched as space collapsed and a hand was cut off. It transformed into an odd branch that fell. Liu Huang moved past stars to disappear in a flash.

Lu Yin's eyes grew stern. That person was not someone who had been with Ling Taizu and the others. This person had tried to secretly attack, and based on Liu Huang’s sword, the person had just entered the Ross Empire’s mobile fortress.
