Chapter 496: Running In The Opposite Direction

The other cultivators slowly left the area.

Nightqueen Yanqing remained in place, staring into the distance. She finally coldly ordered, “Immediately start mining.”

The Daynight clan members quickly got to work.

After half a day, no other force had sent any more cultivators to Pyrolyte Lake, and no spacecraft had landed either.

Despite the peace, neither Zhanlong Daynight nor Nightqueen Yanqing let their guard down. In order to take full control of Pyrolyte Lake, they still had to deal with Ling Que.

The other forces wouldn’t dare to fight against the Daynight clan, but the Wen family was an exception. The Wen family was the ruling family of Erudite Flowzone, and they were definitely a match for the Daynight clan. They had even been able to invite Ling Que to help them with the struggle on Planet Pyrolyte, so as long as the Daynight clan didn’t defeat Ling Que, then Pyrolyte Lake could never be considered as truly belonging to them.

Nightqueen Yanqing knew that even if the entire Daynight clan worked together with the cultivators from the Second Grade Hall who were about to arrive, they still wouldn’t be able to defeat Ling Que. The only thing that she could do now was to negotiate with Ling Que, but it would be ideal if he didn\'t come to Pyrolyte Lake.

Lu Yin quickly captured someone from the Daynight clan and asked them about Zhuo Daynight’s whereabouts. From that, he learned that she had been abandoned and that they weren’t certain if she was still even alive, and that if she was, she should be near Pyrolyte Mountain. Lu Yin was then able to deduce that she was hiding underground near Pyrolyte Mountain. They should have just gone there when they had been closer. What a waste of time.

He didn’t have time to hesitate, so Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi headed back to Pyrolyte Mountain again.

Hai Qiqi didn’t like this choice since she had already been to Pyrolyte Mountain. Naturally, she wanted to go and play somewhere else. However, there was nothing that she could do to Lu Yin, and when she resorted to insulting him, Lu Yin just pretended to not hear her.

Half a day after they left Pyrolyte Lake, the two of them quickly dropped down and stopped moving since someone was heading in their direction. It was Ling Que who had run into Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi. He didn’t pay any particular attention to them, but he did shoot a charming smile towards Hai Qiqi when he saw her beauty.

Hai Qiqi suddenly exclaimed, “Narcissist!”

Ling Que paused and looked at Hai Qiqi in confusion before descending towards them.

Lu Yin was speechless. She’s stirring up trouble again.

“Miss, what did you just say?” Ling Que asked.

Hai Qiqi confidently answered, “Narcissist.”

“Who are you talking to?”

“Whoever responds to it.”

Ling Que pouted as his expression turned dark. Ever since he had been exposed for hiring his cheerleaders at the Sea King’s Dome, many people had started gossipping about him behind his back. Nevertheless, Hai Qiqi was the first person to directly call him a narcissist. “Miss, you should be careful when you speak so that you don’t cause trouble for yourself.”

“Just like when you spoke to Mu Rong?” Hai Qiqi asked innocently.

Ling Que rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Yin. “Teach her some manners. I don’t fight girls, but I\'ve got no problem fighting you.”

Hai Qiqi was about to speak up again, but Lu Yin covered her mouth. “Sure thing. I’m sorry, this girl tends to speak before thinking. She probably thought that you were someone else, so don’t mind her at all.”

Ling Que glanced at Hai Qiqi again, thinking that it was a pity that such a beautiful girl was so rude. He then flew back into the sky and left.

Lu Yin removed his hand only after Ling Que was some distance away. Hai Qiqi panted and glared at him. “Hey! Are you trying to suffocate me?”

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Lu Yin retorted.

Hai Qiqi furiously responded, “I’m just stating the truth! You also saw that he was flirting with me.”

“You still shouldn’t have said that. I don’t want to reveal my presence here just yet. What if he decided to fight me? Everyone would discover who I am if that happened.”

“I don’t care. It would have been his fault. He flirted with me and then he even had the gall to scold me for it! Go beat him up for me.”

“No, I can’t reveal myself.”

“Lu Yin, you coward! I want to break up with you!”

Lu Yin was rendered speechless, but he just grabbed her and continued on his way. Hai Qiqi continued screaming in indignation, but Lu Yin used his star energy to block off her voice, it was just way too annoying.

Even when they were about to reach Pyrolyte Mountain, Hai Qiqi was still complaining. Lu Yin could only calmly say to her, “Help me find that person, and then I’ll let you go wherever you want.”

Hai Qiqi couldn’t resist the temptation, so she agreed.

Lu Yin gave her a warning as well. “Mu Rong is at Pyrolyte Mountain, and your forcefield is just a toy before him. Be careful, and don’t get too close to him. Look for her slowly, and focus more on the underground areas.”

“Fine!” Hai Qiqi said impatiently and then slowly released her forcefield. She wasn’t dumb, so of course she wouldn’t try to go up against Mu Rong with her forcefield.

Lu Yin hoped that they would be able to find Zhuo Daynight this time, as if they didn’t, he really didn’t know where to look for her next. He just hoped she wasn’t already dead!

In outer space, above the planet, Granny Chan, Lily Anne, and the other high leveled members of Northline Flowzone focused on the area around Pyrolyte Mountain. They were watching Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi, wondering what the two of them were doing there. Only Lily Anne knew that Lu Yin had come to this place to save someone. Could it be that the person he had come for was near Pyrolyte Mountain?

They soon shifted their attention back to Pyrolyte Lake, as Ling Que was about to arrive there. Everyone could sense the huge battle brewing on the horizon.

However, just a few moments later, someone hesitantly spoke up. “Ling Que is now running in the opposite direction.”

Lily Anne blinked in confusion, but her eyes were not wrong. The young man truly was actually running in the opposite direction .

“Could he be lost?” someone asked.

“Maybe. Pyrolyte Lake is very far from his previous location, and he is currently surrounded by scattered bits of pyrolyte ore. Thus, there’s no way for him to determine his location.”

“The Wen family is on their way to Pyrolyte Lake, and if Ling Que doesn’t arrive at the same time, they’ll be in big trouble. The Daynight clan will definitely attack them as soon as they appear, and by the time Ling Que arrives, the Wen family won’t have many people left.”

…

All the major powers watching from outer space had realized that Ling Que was running in the opposite direction. The Wen family became very anxious since Wen Qian’er and the others were already approaching Pyrolyte Lake.

Wen Qichen, an elder of the Wen family, stared at a screen showing Ling Que. The elder could no longer ignore the situation, and he quickly stepped out of the vessel and into outer space above Planet Pyrolyte to shout at Ling Que. However, the moment the elder moved, Nightqueen Qiuyu showed up next to him with a delighted expression. “No attacks against the young ones leaving Planet Pyrolyte, and no interfering in the battles on Planet Pyrolyte. Those are the rules. Wen Qichen, you’re not thinking of breaking the rules, are you?”

Wen Qichen’s face twitched, but then he sighed reluctantly. “Of course not. I just wanted to take a stroll.”

“Very well then. I’ll accompany you on your stroll.” Nightqueen Qiuyu was worried that Wen Qichen would somehow find a way to surreptitiously contact Ling Que.

Normally, powerhouses who were above the Cruiser realm were able to easily project their voice to cover an entire planet like Planet Pyrolyte. However, to prevent the pyrolyte on this planet from exploding due to the soundwaves produced by a powerhouse, the major organizations had set a few rules in place. One of the rules was that nobody was allowed to project their voice onto Planet Pyrolyte from space.

Wen Qichen glanced at Nightqueen Qiuyu before returning to the Wen family’s spacecraft, where he looked at the screen in resignation. Ling Que had been running in the opposite direction this entire time, and he felt an urgent need to go down and turn the youth around towards the correct direction.

He really wanted to send someone to Planet Pyrolyte just so that they could tell Ling Que that he was heading in the wrong direction. However, there wasn’t enough time to do that, and he didn’t even know where Ling Que was trying to go since there was no fixed meeting location. Even if he sent people down, they might not be able to find Ling Que.

Moreover, the most important factor at this moment was time. Wen Qichen had to somehow get Ling Que onto the correct path before Wen Qian’er and the others arrived at Pyrolyte Lake. With Ling Que’s extreme speed, he still had a chance to catch up to their group.

Mira also stood in front of the screen with a helpless gaze. Ling Que was just too unreliable. If only Lu Yin was available to help them.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, and she promptly shared it with the Wen family.

A short while later, numerous spacecraft flew towards Planet Pyrolyte, destined for Pyrolyte Lake.

Since they couldn’t explicitly tell Ling Que to change directions, they would instead use their spacecraft to inform him. They could use the spacecraft to clearly indicate the location of the lake, as some of the vessels even lined up to form the words “Lake—opposite” across the sky.

All Limiteers were able to see the spacecraft, and thus, most of the people on Planet Pyrolyte saw the words spelled out by the ships. Most of the people stood there in a daze, confused at what they were seeing. Just what was going on?

Nightqueen Qiuyu grew furious when she saw the scene unfold. “Wen Qichen, you’re cheating!”

Wen Qichen smugly exited his spacecraft. “Nightqueen Qiuyu, don’t insult me. I haven’t cheated. I have only sent some people down to Planet Pyrolyte. Why would you say that? Did the rules restrict the number of people that I can send down to Planet Pyrolyte?”

Nightqueen Qiuyu was enraged, but the Wen family really hadn’t broken any rules, so there was nothing she could do about their actions.

Everyone was watching the Wen family’s performance, but Ling Que still hadn’t noticed anything. He believed himself to be an ethical and reliable guy, and since he had promised to help the Wen family obtain pyrolyte, he would indeed put forth his best efforts. The only thing on his mind right now was to hurry over to Pyrolyte Lake and help his employers gain control of the location. Hence, he just kept running, not even seeing the words written across the sky.

Wen Qichen grew anxious. “Try again!”

Mira replied, “There’s no time, elder. I suggest that we instead use the spacecraft to remind Qian’er and the others to stay where they are now so that they aren’t discovered by the Daynight clan.”

Wen Qichen immediately commanded the spacecraft to take those actions.

Moments later, more spacecraft flew down towards Planet Pyrolyte, further infuriating Nightqueen Qiuyu. She wished that she could personally destroy all the ships.

Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Lake? Opposite? What does that mean? Pyrolyte Lake should be in that direction. Opposite—could someone be going in the wrong direction? What are the odds that it’s Ling Que? Now that would be interesting.

Hai Qiqi was also looking at the sky. “It seems like something interesting is happening. Hey, do you think that they’ll keep writing words with the incoming ships?”

Lu Yin shook his head to indicate his lack of knowledge. All he knew was that things were developing rather strangely.

“Keep searching and be careful. Don’t let Mu Rong discover you,” Lu Yin urged Hai Qiqi again.

Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes, but she continued using her forcefield to look for Zhuo Daynight.

A while later, another batch of spacecraft appeared in the sky, this time forming three words. “Wen—don’t move.”

Many Limiteers on Planet Pyrolyte stared at the sky in confusion.

Wen Qian’er saw the words and immediately stopped moving. At that moment, the group from the Wen family were less than three hours away from Pyrolyte Lake.

Suddenly, another batch of spacecraft appeared and formed the words, “Wen—keep moving.”

Wen Qian’er was stunned; what in the world was going on?

Wen Qichen grew irate as soon as he saw the second set of words. “Nightqueen Qiuyu is so despicable! Keep sending spacecraft.”

After that, an interesting show appeared in the sky: “Wen—don’t move. Lake, opposite.” “Wen, keep moving, go.” “Wen, don’t move.” “Wen, keep moving. “Wen, retreat.” “Daynight, go...”

The people on the surface of the planet were dumbfounded as they watched the show play out in the sky.
