Lu Yin gave the bottle over to the Chief Justice. “Would this be useful to you?”

The Chief Justice coldly asked, “What is it that you want in exchange?”

Lu Yin answered seriously, “It’s just a gift. How could you treat it as an exchange? Senior Brother, you’re treating me like an outsider.”

The Chief Justice did not answer. Since he merely had the form of a shadow, Lu Yin could not see any expressions or determine what the man was thinking.

Lu Yin cleared his throat and carefully passed the stellular liquid to the older man.

The Chief Justice calmly stated, “A single bottle is too little, so it isn’t very useful to me.”

Lu Yin’s face twitched. He gritted his teeth and took out another bottle.

“Two bottles is still too little. They aren’t very useful,” the Chief Justice said again.

Lu Yin felt cornered. “Senior Brother, I only have three bottles, and I want to keep one just in case. There really aren’t any more bottles. The Celestial Frost Sect wouldn’t have left that much behind for their descendants.”

The two bottles were absorbed into the dark shadow. “Let’s go.”

The black shadow jumped up into the Celestial Frost Pond.

Lu Yin immediately chased after the Chief Justice. He could not allow the Chief Justice to simply leave without saying anything, as that would result in Lu Yin suffering a huge loss. Stellular liquid was far too valuable, and he would not feel good about losing two bottles without gaining anything at all in return.

Upon exiting the pond, Lu Yin looked around and found Bai Shui sitting on the ground. As for the Chief Justice, he had simply disappeared.

Lu Yin’s heart sank; the man would not have simply left, right?

Lu Yin made the decision to chase after the Chief Justice even if it meant going back to the Neoverse.

Lu Yin glanced over at some buildings in the distance, wondering if he should go take a look at them.

“The remnant spiritual force is gone,” the Chief Justice stated.

Lu Yin spun around in shock. “The remnant spiritual force is gone?”

“All of it has disappeared.”

How was that even possible? Lu Yin used his domain to scan a wide area, only to see that all of the gray figures formed from remnant spiritual force were indeed gone.

He saw Unseen Light and various other cultivators looking quite confused, but Lu Yin could not find even a single gray figure.

Could their disappearance possibly be connected to what they had just done? But they really had not done anything at all.

The cultivators in the mountains searching for the gray figures also seemed to know nothing about what had happened.

“Miss Bai Shui, do you know why those figures disappeared?” Lu Yin asked.

Bai Shui opened her eyes and blew out a gust of cold air. “I don’t actually even know why there was remnant spiritual force here to begin with. This is my first time encountering such things.”

Lu Yin took a guess. “Is there something even more valuable here? Think carefully—the appearance and disappearance of remnant spiritual force should be connected to something. Don’t end up losing your inheritance to someone else.”

Bai Shui glanced at Lu Yin in a helpless manner; he had already taken away most of her inheritance, but she did not dare to say that out loud. “There’s really nothing else. Our records only mentioned the treasury beneath the Celestial Frost Pond.”

Lu Yin turned around to talk to the Chief Justice, only to realize the man had already headed out towards Mount Punishment.

Lu Yin immediately chased after the Chief Justice, but before leaving, he told Bai Shui, “Go to Blazing Mist Flowzone. The Great Eastern Alliance will protect you.”

He had initially wanted to take the Celestial Frost Pond away, but he was worried that something bad might happen if he did that since Progenitor Hui had sealed something underneath it. He had therefore given up on that idea with the new idea of returning and using the Celestial Frost Pond when he became an Envoy.

Even though the Chief Justice had said that the ruins belonged to the Human Domain and that everybody was welcome to explore it, Lu Yin had no intention of sharing the Celestial Frost Pond with anyone, not even the Hall of Honor.

Bai Shui sighed as she watched Lu Yin leave. “The Great Eastern Alliance?”

The Chief Justice was quietly standing at the bottom of Mount Punishment.

Lu Yin ran over. “Sir Chief Justice, since the remnant spiritual force has disappeared, we can go up now, right?”

The Chief Justice asked, “What else do you want?”

Lu Yin bit his lip. He really did not know how to address this topic.

The Chief Justice continued, “Fine, then I’ll leave.”

Lu Yin cleared his throat. “Um, alright. See you later.”

Although the Chief Justice was hidden within his shadows, Lu Yin was able to sense that the man was looking at him curiously.

“Do you really have nothing to say?”

“No, I just came to remind you to be careful, Sir Chief Justice,” Lu Yin said sincerely.

The Chief Justice hesitated before heading up Mount Punishment.

Lu Yin sighed. He had wanted to ask the Chief Justice if it would be possible for him to release the Second Nightking. The Sealed Cage Technique would make the man into Lu Yin’s bodyguard.

The two bottles of stellular liquid had been offered in exchange for the Second Nightking’s freedom.

However, before saying anything at all, Lu Yin had suddenly remembered that he was dealing with the Interstellar Supreme Court’s Chief Justice. This person was the representation of fairness, and no matter how cruel he might be, the man still had his own principles. During their first meeting, the Chief Justice had said that he would have killed Lu Yin if he had been corrupted by the Neohuman Alliance, and at that moment, Lu Yin had realized that there were certain lines that he could not cross with the Chief Justice.

Lu Yin felt that there would be an extremely low chance of getting the Chief Justice to release the Second Nightking, so he had simply not bothered asking about it.

However, Lu Yin had also decided not to address the matter because he had remembered another detail: someone was planning a prison break in Gaia’s Swamp. Lu Yin had learned this when Possessing Liu Huang.

Someone inside Gaia’s Swamp was planning a prison break, and if they succeeded, all of the prisoners would escape. However, only key prisoners were aware of the plan, and nobody from the Interstellar Supreme Court was aware of anything.

The prison break from Gaia’s Swamp would be Lu Yin’s best opportunity to capture the Second Nightking. This also meant that he could not ask the Chief Justice to simply release the Second Nightking, as doing so would definitely make the Chief Justice form a connection between Lu Yin and the prison break after it occurred.

…

Crash!

A deafening sound rang out as the ground shattered.

Wen Sansi helplessly looked off into the distance to see a group of giants arrive at a palace atop a mountain.

These giants were 7,000 meters tall, and they were destroying everything that they stepped on.

“The Great Eastern Alliance became much more powerful with the addition of these giants. Even though they don’t have any battle techniques, they are still able to cultivate battle force.” Unseen Light was standing close to Wen Sansi with his eyes closed.

Wen Sansi frowned. “These giants and the Lu Elite Troops are the Great Eastern Alliance’s greatest weapons. The Sixth Mainland’s invasion and the separation of the Innerverse and the Outerverse really helped Lu Yin soar to success.”

“It was a rare opportunity, but even if we had been in the Outerverse back then, we still wouldn’t have been able to achieve the same results as him,” Unseen Light commented.

Wen Sansi had a different viewpoint than Unseen Light. Wen Sansi was part of the Wen family, and they were currently being targeted by the Great Eastern Alliance. Anyone could tell that Lu Yin was not merely aiming at Blazing Mist and Daynight Flowzones, as his ultimate goal was to unite the entire Innerverse.

Despite everything, there was nothing that the Wen family could do about the situation. They had already paid a steep price to acquire Wen Diyi, and they would need to pay even more in the future.

“Hahahaha, Brother Wei’s here! Kids, clear the area for me—I want to have a meeting in the Celestial Frost Sect’s great hall!” Ku Wei shouted arrogantly from where he stood on Chen Huang’s shoulder.

The colossal giants in the area all charged straight for the Celestial Frost Sect’s great hall.

Everyone else in the area fled while cursing. Still, regardless of their frustrations, there was nothing that they could do. These giants were simply too terrifying, especially Chen Huang, who was 9,000 meters tall. He could easily crush dozens of people with a casual slap.

The people who had entered the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins were all quite powerful, and there were even quite a few hidden powerhouses from the Innerverse who had made their way into the ruins with multiple experts with power levels between 300,000 and 400,000, but not one of them dared try to fight against the giants.

This was not only because of the strength of the giants themselves, but also because of the presence of the Lu Elite Troops, Chen Huang, and Long Yi, the sylvan dragon master, who were stationed outside the ruins.

Lu Yin roamed the ruins alone after parting ways with the Chief Justice. He left several days later, and after that, he ordered the colossal giants and the Lu Elite Troops to enter the ruins and explore them in batches. He also summoned Long Yi from Blazing Mist Flowzone and ordered the sylvan dragon to act as the guardian of Daynight Flowzone.

At this moment, Lu Yin was in a meeting with Liu Qianjue, Mountain God, Ling Qiu. and Wen Zizai.

These old people had all made the trip after the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins appeared. However, none of them had entered, instead allowing their juniors to go exploring.

The older powerhouses had only entered the ruins after all of the remnant spiritual force had disappeared.

They found nothing after exploring the ruins, and this was also why they had approached Lu Yin.

“Alliance Leader Lu, you’ve entered these ruins twice already, so I’m certain that you’ve developed a good understanding of the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins,” Mountain God said in a rumbling voice. He usually had the appearance of Bai Wanshan, which was typically enormous, but he had shrunk down for his meeting with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked up. “No.”

“Alliance Leader Lu, we’ll be straightforward. The disappearance of the remnant spiritual force most likely has some connection to you. Sir Chief Justice already declared that these ruins belong to the entire Human Domain. The remnant spiritual force in these ruins can help inspire many people, but you caused all of the figures to disappear. Isn’t that a bit much?” Ling Qiu said.

Lu Yin remained calm. “Who said that I did it?”

“I believe that you’re the only person who could have done such a thing, Alliance Leader Lu,” Liu Qianjue said.

Lu Yin looked around at the various elders. “Are you trying to blame me for this? You’ve got the wrong person. I was exploring the ruins with the Chief Justice when the gray figures all disappeared, and I have got nothing to do with their disappearance. If you don’t believe me, you can just ask Sir Chief Justice.”

The older people all looked at each other. Ling Qiu spoke back up, “Did you really have nothing to do with this?”

Lu Yin turned to face the matriarch. “Do I have any reason to lie to you? Or do you think Sir Chief Justice would help me deceive you?”

Wen Zizai spoke up, “I don’t believe that this was Alliance Leader Lu’s fault.”

Liu Qianjue glared at the patriarch. “Brother Wen, the Wen family has been very close to the Alliance Leader recently, and Alliance Leader Lu even went to visit your Wen family. It looks like the Wen family has a special relationship with Alliance Leader Lu. Why is that?”

Mountain God chimed in, “I’m also curious about that.”

Ling Qiu interrupted, “I’m more curious about what happened at Chaosgod Mountain. Cang Zhou died in the Cosmic Sea, and then Chaosgod Mountain immediately sealed itself off.”

She turned towards Lu Yin. “Did you have something to do with that, Alliance Leader Lu?”
