The corner of Yin's mouth curled up as he looked at Lu Yin with envy. "You kid are really lucky. The predecessors plant the trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade, haha."
Lu Yin stared at Yin.
Yin laughed for a while then said, "The Zishan Clan previously had two marriage promises. The first was with the Ona family, established by the past patriarch of the Ona family and the Zishan Clan. The second was with the Wushan Clan, which is the imperial family of the Great Yu Empire, an agreement made between Undying Da Yu and Undying Zi Shan. Originally, these two marriage promises should have been fulfilled long ago, but then the death of Undying Zi Shan occurred, delaying it until now. In theory, since the Zishan Clan was gone, these promises naturally disappeared. But you appeared, the sole heir of the Zishan Clan. Thus, both marriage promises naturally fall to you. It's really enviable."
Lu Yin's eyebrows twitched, and he frowned. "A marriage promise from several hundred years ago has long been invalid."
Yin sneered. "Several hundred years ago? Is that very long? The lifespan of a Star-Wanderer expert is usually over 500 years. Do you know how many years Undying Da Yu has been on the throne? Eight hundred years. A promise from several hundred years ago is just something from the first half of his life to him, not that long ago. At the very least, of the people who made this promise, besides Undying Zi Shan, the others are still alive and well."
Lu Yin's gaze was contemplative; he felt a bit of a headache. He had thought he was just an idle king, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome, even having a marriage pact with the imperial family. He had read about Undying Wu Shan; this iron-fisted emperor valued promises the most. This marriage promise, perhaps, possibly, probably wouldn't be canceled, right?
"You need to consider more than just that. The Zishan Clan once controlled nearly half of the Great Yu Empire's military power. Although the Zishan Clan vanished, many of its former subordinates are still alive. For example, Siken Maldo; the Maldo family used to belong to the Zishan Clan," Yin said.
"Anything else?" Lu Yin asked.
Yin rolled his eyes. "There's quite a bit more, but why should I tell you?"
"You've already said so much. What are your conditions? Spit it out," Lu Yin said calmly.
The corner of Yin's mouth curled up as he stared at Lu Yin. "Did you, by any chance, pick something up?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "No."
Yin said calmly, "No need to deny it. I can feel it, it's right inside your Cosmic Ring."
"Then why don't you tell me what it is," Lu Yin said calmly.
Yin shook his head with a chilling smile, pointing to his own eyes. "Red."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Your thing?"
"Our first meeting wasn't a coincidence. Although the things you and I were looking for were different, the location was the same," Yin said.
"I can return it to you," Lu Yin said.
Yin turned to look into the distance. "No need. You keep it. It will be useful in the future."
"This kind of thing is useless to me."
"That's because you don't know what it represents."
"Your assassination of Zhang Dingtian in the capital, was it related to this thing?"
"Do you really want to know?" Yin looked at Lu Yin, smiling like a fox.
Lu Yin said in a deep voice, "The first time I met you, I saw a Corpse King. The second time I met you, a Corpse King also appeared. The reason you killed Zhang Dingtian and destroyed the firearms depot was because Zhang Dingtian ordered the use of firearms to eliminate the corpse tide. What is your connection to the Corpse Kings?"
Yin made a shushing gesture. "Don't talk nonsense. How could I be connected to the Corpse Kings? This is merely the result of a failed planetary evolution trial, it has nothing to do with me. At most, I'm just a porter."
Lu Yin was confused. There were too many things in the universe he couldn't understand.
"Classmate, you and I are actually the same kind of person. I can feel it, which is why I sought you out. Don't worry, I will help you," Yin said with a smile.
"So that when I reach a certain position, I can help you in return?" Lu Yin said calmly.
Yin smiled. "I told you you were a smart person. Mutual benefit, neither of us loses out."
Lu Yin said mockingly, "I don't even know your identity. On what basis should I cooperate with you?"
Yin shrugged. "You can refuse, but I believe that in the future, you will be my best partner." After speaking, Yin turned to leave. Before he left, he tossed Lu Yin a piece of paper. On it was a series of numbers and the names, positions, and backgrounds of several people in the Great Yu Empire.
"The universe is truly cruel. Without you, the future of Earth would be bleak. Think about Qing Yu; in the end, you couldn't kill him. Why? To survive in the universe, you can only ever think of yourself," Yin's voice grew more and more distant.
Lu Yin let out a breath, looked at the paper, and put it away.
Making a deal with the devil, you'll never come out ahead. Lu Yin firmly believed this, but between him and Yin, who was the devil? Only the future could judge.
What Lu Yin wanted to do now was make a scene, and the bigger, the better. He wanted to understand just how far the status of King Zishan could take him in the Great Yu Empire before he reached the Capital Star. Otherwise, it would be difficult to take even a single step on the Capital Star. Since some people had already dared to make a move, they should be prepared to have their hands chopped off.
CRASH!
The main door of the bar on the Willpower was once again shattered, causing everyone inside to look over. Ever since the trial students had returned, the bar's door had hardly been safe.
Lu Yin walked into the bar, looking directly at Willow who was sitting in a corner.
When Willow saw Lu Yin, his expression changed, and he quickly stood up to run.
Lu Yin raised his hand, unleashing a Shattering Palm. The shockwave sent numerous surrounding students flying back, and tables shattered. In the next moment, the blast wave hit Willow.
Willow was terrified and raised his hands to block. With a bang, his entire body was smashed into the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Lu Yin, gritting his teeth.
No one dared to interfere, not even the soldiers who had just arrived on patrol.
Everyone in the bar immediately retreated.
On the second floor, a private room door opened. Huo Xiaoling and Yan Gang came out, looking down with surprise. What was this guy going crazy for again?
Lu Yin slowly approached Willow, his eyes icy.
Willow looked in fear at the approaching Lu Yin and shouted, "What do you want to do? This is a spaceship, not a trial ground! You can't fight here!"
Lu Yin grabbed Willow by the neck and lifted him high, his voice like ice. "Who told you to cause trouble for my people? Speak!"
Willow's face turned red. He was, after all, one of the strongest in his academy, but facing the current Lu Yin, he had no power to resist, nor did he want to. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Lu Yin sneered. "I know there's someone behind you. You definitely think I don't dare to kill you, so I'll give it a try. The person behind you would love for me to kill you. You should understand this clearly."
Willow's expression changed. He had indeed been instructed by someone to provoke Lu Yin, to let the people on the Capital Star see what kind of person the so-called King Zishan was. If Lu Yin killed him right now, the effect would be ten thousand times better than not killing him. Not only would it create the fact of King Zishan's cruel stupidity, but it would also make his family hate King Zishan, uniting more people to achieve their goal. For that person, nothing could be better. That person would definitely not save him.
Willow figured it out and immediately said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! It was Las! Las told me to provoke you."
Lu Yin casually tossed Willow aside and left the bar.
Yan Gang watched Lu Yin's disappearing back and sneered. "Idiot. Someone is clearly plotting against him, yet he still dares to cause a scene. This guy is too arrogant."
Huo Xiaoling's eyes flickered as she opened her personal terminal, contacting someone unknown.
At the same time, Siken Maldo, Toleona, and Sha Luo Shu all received the news.
"What? He went to find Las? Quickly, stop him!" Siken Maldo roared, feeling suffocated. "Idiot, what an idiot, how could he do such a thing at this time?"
Sha Luo Shu sneered. "Worse than I imagined. Did being named King Zishan make him arrogant? A pitiful country bumpkin."
Toleona shook his head in disappointment. "My lady can absolutely not marry this kind of person."
Regardless of what others thought, Lu Yin had already arrived outside Las's room. With a flick of his finger, he shattered the surveillance camera in the corner, then kicked the door open.
Las seemed to be waiting for him. He sneered contemptuously and said with a respectful attitude, "I wonder what instructions King Zishan has for me by gracing me with his presence?"
Without another word, Lu Yin rushed forward and kicked.
Las hadn't expected Lu Yin to be so crazy. He subconsciously dodged but was met by Lu Yin's Heavenly Beast Claw. The power of the 7-form Heavenly Beast Claw surpassed Las's 5-form. Las couldn't dodge it. His body was sent flying out of the room, crashing heavily against the metal frame of the spaceship. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared, "Native, you dare to injure me!"
Lu Yin reached for Las. Las roared, taking out an energy gun from his Cosmic Ring and firing. Lu Yin easily dodged. Although this type of energy gun could harm a Seeker, it was only effective against ordinary Seeker realm experts. Lu Yin's current battle power was at the Limiteer level, enough to match a Melder realm expert.
As Lu Yin got closer and closer, Las's expression changed dramatically. "Quick, save me!"
Just as Lu Yin was about to strike Las, Mo Nuo appeared. With a bang, a blast wave erupted. Lu Yin was pushed back more than ten steps, staring gravely at his opponent.
Mo Nuo had also been pushed back several steps, staring deadly at Lu Yin.
