Chapter 1694: Caught All Of Them

Lu Yin did not know how to answer Wang Wen’s question. “I’ll find some time to take you to Mt. Microcosms so that you can get to know her. She’s always been quite nice to me.”

“Zi Jing replaced Nightking Zheng while the leader of the Light World, Yang Ji, replaced Cong Ying. They’re both from Mt. Microcosms,” Wang Wen commented.

Lu Yin understood the implications behind this. While it looked like the council of overseers were the decision makers for the Hall of Honor, the true decision maker was actually Arch-Elder Zen. From this, it looked like Arch-Elder Zen was trying to shift the power balance within the overseers to Mt. Microcosms.

It was possible that this was a warning to Lu Yin, but Arch-Elder Zen was not specifically targeting him. If that were the case, then both Bu Laoweng and San Liang would have been removed from their positions at the same time as Nightking Zeng. Lu Yin was certain that someone at Arch-Elder Zen’s level was not worried about him.

“Yang Ji represents the Light World, which is one of the Honor Zone’s 3,000 hidden worlds. He was probably chosen to become an overseer in order to maintain balance. As for Zi Jing, she controls the entire network, which is vital to the Human Domain,” Wang Wen mused.

Lu Yin fell deep into thought. When he had met Zi Jing in CyNet World, he had asked her why she had used Shui Chuanxiao to connect the various pieces of the network together. However, Zi Jing had not answered, as they had run out of time. He had forgotten about his question since then, but he had suddenly remembered it now. Maybe he could get his answer from Shui Chuanxiao.

After hanging up on Wang Wen, Lu Yin went to Shui Chuanxiao to ask the man about Zi Jing.

“Zi Jing? CyNet’s boss? She was the one who asked me to help with the network,” Shui Chuanxiao said.

Lu Yin remained curious. “You agreed to her request?”

Shui Chuanxiao answered, “Why not? No one else was ever as desperate as me for a universal network. Instantaneous communication is crucial in war. When the network connected Ironblood Weave to the border, we gained a huge massive advantage in our war efforts against the Astral Beast Domain.”

“Why didn’t she propose the request to the overseers herself?” Lu Yin asked.

Shui Chuanxiao shook his head. “That’s not something that I know, but maybe she submitted the proposal before. I had also made such a request in the past.”

At this time, the man’s eyes grew cold. “However, I failed. In fact, there was no chance at all for the proposal to succeed. Otherwise, I would have never sacrificed half of Endless Weave.”

Lu Yin left. Shui Chuanxiao did not actually know Zi Jing all that well either, but the former grand marshal was a determined person who would do whatever it took to accomplish his goals. Shui Chuanxiao was just like the Sea King in this matter. The latter had single-handedly destroyed the Sixth Mainland’s false sky, even at the risk of becoming the entire Fifth Mainland’s enemy.

Liu Ye and Fei Hua had brought Lu Yin from Blazing Mist Flowzone to Gaia’s Swamp in a short amount of time. However, returning to Blazing Mist Flowzone was much slower, as neither the Second Nightking nor Liu Huang had fully recovered. Thus, the four men were only able to travel at the speed of a Lu Yin’s spacecraft.

Ten days later, the spacecraft arrived at the border between the Venom and Northseal Flowzones.

Northseal Flowzone lay to the north of Venom Flowzone, and it also bordered the Astral River. By passing through the Northseal Flowzone, it was possible to enter either Fennel Flowzone or Venom Flowzone.

Lu Yin’s vessel quickly passed through Fennel Flowzone and continued on towards Blazing Mist Flowzone.

There were multiple Astral River tributaries throughout the Innerverse, and since Northseal Flowzone was connected to both Venom and Fennel Flowzones, there was actually a three-way split in the Astral River, and there was also a tributary ark there.

It was possible for Lu Yin’s vessel to use the tributary ark to enter Fennel Flowzone, but the tributary ark had been shut down, meaning that nobody was able to enter or leave Fennel Flowzone.

The major forces of the Innerverse were using this and other similar tactics to suppress the Great Eastern Alliance. They intended to isolate both Blazing Mist and Fennel Flowzones so that the Great Eastern Alliance would be cut off from all the nearby flowzones.

Lu Yin calmly watched on as various ships traveled back and forth.

Shui Chuanxiao appeared behind him. “It would seem that you’re not in a good position. It’s not good for you to become the entire Innerverse’s enemy.”

Lu Yin sighed. “I’ve already done the best I can with this.”

He turned to face Shui Chuanxiao. “So, what’s your decision? Are you willing to act as the Great Eastern Alliance’s Commander?”

Shui Chuanxiao observed Lu Yin with visible interest. “Are you asking me because of En Ya?”

“Of course not. En Ya can’t make decisions for the Great Eastern Alliance. She asked me to save you, and I’ve already done that. Asking you to become my commander is my decision alone,” Lu Yin replied.

“Aren’t you worried that you’ll be in deep trouble if my presence is exposed?”

Lu Yin turned back around and stared off into space. “I’m already in a lot of trouble. Compared to the help that I can get with you, dealing with the fallout is not a big deal.”

Shui Chuanxiao nodded. “Alright, I don’t have anything else to do anyways. Besides, I could never leave the military.”

Lu Yin smiled at Shui Chuanxiao. “Welcome aboard, Commander.”

“I should call you Alliance Leader Lu now. So, can I get the real situation in the Innerverse from you now?”

Lu Yin explained, “Of the eight great flowzones, Blazing Mist Flowzone, Chaos Flowzone, and Daynight Flowzone all belong to me. On the other side, First Flowzone, Beast Tamers Flowzone, and Soulseal Flowzone are my most obvious enemies. As for Erudite Flowzone, they're secretly helping First Flowzone work against me. Venom Flowzone is neutral for the moment, but they might change their position in the future.”

Shui Chuanxiao was caught off guard. “You also control Chaos Flowzone?”

Since Lu Yin had taken the Second Nightking out of Gaia’s Swamp, Shui Chuanxiao had already figured out that Lu Yin had gained control of Daynight Flowzone. However, the man had not expected to learn that Lu Yin also held Chaos Flowzone in his hands. In that case, Lu Yin had already gained control over nearly half of the Innerverse, as the minor flowzones could be disregarded.

Lu Yin smiled. “How would I dare to go against the entire Innervese without achieving at least this much?”

Shui Chuanxiao grew solemn. “Liu Huang’s existence can act as a threat towards the Sword Sect and even force them to join you, but what of the Wen family?”

“I’m in possession of the Wen family’s most valuable inheritance,” Lu Yin said.

Shui Chuanxiao exclaimed, “I need to speak with you, Alliance Leader Lu. I need to learn more about your Great Eastern Alliance and you as well, Alliance Leader Lu.”

A spacecraft flew towards them, trying to chase Lu Yin’s ship away.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed, and he casually flicked a finger. A crack was torn apart in space that separated the approaching vessel from the space station.

The cultivators aboard the ship from Northseal Flowzone were all stunned, and they watched in a daze as Lu Yin’s vessel moved into the tributary astral river ark and Lu Yin started making his way to Fennel Flowzone.

Nobody was able to stop Lu Yin, and Northseal Flowzone’s forces had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lu Yin never revealed himself, but most people guessed that he was behind it, and the incident was immediately reported to the Sword Sect.

Liu Qianjue and the others were not overly concerned, as they already knew that nobody could stop Lu Yin from returning to Blazing Mist Flowzone. Rather, they were currently waiting for the Second Nightking to start making trouble for Lu Yin.

Two days later, Lu Yin’s spacecraft docked in the Ross Empire. He had returned.

Wang Wen, En Ya, and many others were already present and waiting for Lu Yin.

En Ya was working in the Great Yu Empire, but Lu Yin had asked her to travel to the Ross Empire after rescuing Shui Chuanxiao.

The Second Nightking, Liu Huang, and Shui Chuanxiao had all changed their appearances.

When Lu Yin led the three men off of his ship, En Ya instantly recognized Shui Chuanxiao.

Shui Chuanxiao’s entire demeanor was different from the other two men. The Second Nightking gave off a frigid aura, and Liu Huang felt desolate. As for Shui Chuanxiao, anyone could tell that he had a military background from his sharp eyes.

En Ya went straight towards Shui Chuanxiao and was about to bow to him, but the man held her upright. “Let’s go back first.”

Wang Wen looked at the three men with open curiosity. He already knew who all three were, and he knew that they were all powerful individuals.

En Ya formally greeted Shui Chuanxiao once they were back inside.

Shui Chuanxiao returned to his original appearance, and he grew incredibly emotional as he looked at En Ya. “I never thought that I’d see you again!”

En Ya had tears in her eyes. “Grand Marshal, I never thought that I would be able to see you again either.”

She moved to kneel before Lu Yin. “Thank you, Alliance Leader.”

Lu Yin’s finger twitched, and En Ya involuntarily rose to her feet. “I simply did what I promised you. What are your plans for the future?”

En Ya glanced over at Shui Chuanxiao before firmly stating. “I will continue working for you, Alliance Leader Lu.”

Lu Yin smiled and turned to Wang Wen. “Starting today, Shui Chuanxiao will become the Great Eastern Alliance’s Allied Forces’ Commander. He has the authority to command all of the Allied Forces, and he will also be the deputy commander of the Lu Elite Troops, the Giants’ Army, and the Sinners’ Army.”

Wang Wen turned to look at Shui Chuanxiao. “I’ve heard of you for a long time, Commander. I’m Wang Wen.”

Shui Chuanxiao looked at Wang Wen in surprise. “You’re Wang Wen? Wang Wen from Ironblood Weave?”

“Yes, that’s me. I didn’t expect you to know of me, Commander,” Wang Wen said.

Shui Chuanxiao exclaimed, “You entered the Astral Beast Domain’s Celestial Vanquisher’s List at an incredibly young age, and you are one of the most wanted people in the Astral Beast Domain. The Ten Arbiters were put on that list because of their strength, but you were put on it because of your wits. Because of you, Ironblood Weave is no longer merely on the defensive. You were even able to anticipate the Astral Beast Domain’s movements, no?”

Wang Wen answered humbly, “You’re too kind, Commander.”

Shui Chuanxiao smiled. “I remember that there are a few other people in the Outerverse who were similarly known for their intelligence.”

He then turned to Lu Yin. “What happened to them?”

“They’re all working for me.”

Shui Chuanxiao nodded. “You’ve caught all of them.”

Wang Wen excelled at an overall strategy while Wei Rong was extremely competent at scheming and manipulation. Qiong Xi’er was focused on economics, and with the addition of Shui Chuanxiao, who was a peerless military commander, all of the Great Eastern Alliance’s intelligence bases were now covered.

Wang Wen had always been assisting Lu Yin with military affairs, and he had done well due to his experience in Ironblood Weave, but Wang Wen had been relying solely on his intelligence and limited experience. He could not compare with Shui Chuanxiao in terms of experience regarding military formations and movements.

Shui Chuanxiao officially joined the Great Eastern Alliance as the military commander, but he remained completely behind the scenes. After observing the Great Eastern Alliance’s military, he immediately made some adjustments and set up a spiderweb formation that spread across the Outerverse and Blazing Mist Flowzone.

This formation allowed Shui Chuanxiao to mobilize the military as quickly as possible while also protecting the Great Eastern Alliance. He also planned out new military routes and implemented his own military measures…

Lu Yin made no moves to interfere in Shui Chuanxiao’s changes, as he did not know much about such matters. Since Shui Chuanxiao had been entrusted with the military, Lu Yin had no intention of meddling.

A few days later, Lu Yin took Shui Chuanxiao to see the Giant’s Army and the Lu Elite Forces that had recently returned to the Ross Empire.

“Master, you’re finally back!” Ku Wei rushed straight over the moment he saw Lu Yin.

Lu Yin glared at Ku Wei, who immediately said, “Master, you don’t know how scared we were with you gone! We were worried that those people from the Sword Sect would attack.”

“They couldn’t even find you guys,” Lu Yin retorted.

Ku Wei smiled. Suddenly, he looked over at the disguised Second Nightking and Liu Huang who were standing beside Lu Yin. “Where are seniors Liu Ye and Fei Hua?”
