Bai Xue was furious. That bastard Lu Yin must have deliberately sought revenge. Earlier, she had prevented him from looking at Qing Yu's belongings. This bastard had held back until now to retaliate. He was too shameless!
She really wanted to find Lu Yin to argue with him, but at a time like this, it would only seem like he was twisting the truth, and who knows what other rumors he might spread. Bai Xue could only endure it.
The next day in the afternoon, a figure descended upon the capital city. The air twisted, and a vast amount of Star Energy swept across the sky, its pressure weighing down on the entire capital.
Zhang Ding Tian and the others immediately rushed out, looking towards the sky.
The person who arrived was Yan Gang.
"Immediately hand over Qing Yu's belongings left in the capital!" Yan Gang roared, coldly looking down at everyone.
Zhang Ding Tian gripped his long saber and soared into the sky, "Who are you?".
"Yan Gang, from the Refinement Flame Star," Yan Gang said arrogantly and coldly, looking down at Zhang Ding Tian with disdain.
Below, Gules exclaimed, "Refinement Flame Star?".
Bai Xue was puzzled, "What's wrong with the Refinement Flame Star?".
Gules said solemnly, "The Refinement Flame Star is one of the powerful forces in the Azure Territory, as famous as the Great Yu Empire. This planet is scorched by flames, and the people on it are very strong, especially their flame combat skills, which are unparalleled."
Granny said in a low voice, "Ordinary flame combat skills are useless against them. Their skin has been burned by flames all year round and has long since mutated."
"Anyone from the Refinement Flame Star who can appear in the Great Yu Empire is at least a Fusion Realm expert. This Yan Gang must be the same. He is definitely stronger than Mo Nuo," Gules said gravely.
Bai Xue looked up at Zhang Ding Tian, her eyes worried. Their enemies were getting stronger one after another.
"If you want anything, let Qing Yu come and take it himself," Zhang Ding Tian said in a deep voice, clutching his war saber. This saber was Qing Yu. His own saber had been destroyed by Mo Nuo, and this saber was his weapon.
Yan Gang sneered, "You lowly ant dares to speak to me?" With that, he waved his hand, and Star Energy followed by scorching heat blasted towards Zhang Ding Tian. Zhang Ding Tian's eyes widened, and he used the Soaring Body Technique to rush towards Yan Gang, slashing out with his saber. The blade vibrated rapidly, merging with the variations of the Three Ripple Palm. It was with that very saber strike that he had injured Mo Nuo.
Zhang Ding Tian's saber strike was very powerful. He was originally a Limiter expert, and now that he had incorporated a combat skill into the strike, even Yan Gang was surprised. Yan Gang slammed his hands together, and flames erupted, transforming into a long spear, its tip aimed at Zhang Ding Tian.
The saber and spear collided, and flames rained down on the capital like shooting stars, causing panic, burning the earth, and pushing away the air in the sky, as the shockwave swept across all directions.
With a loud bang, Zhang Ding Tian was ultimately no match for Yan Gang and was swept down by the spear, heavily slamming into the ground.
In the sky, Yan Gang looked at Zhang Ding Tian in surprise and admiration, "To be able to survive one strike from me is something few in the Expedition Realm can do. You're not bad, you can follow me."
Bai Xue and Zhu Shan and the others looked angrily at Yan Gang. These trial disciples always had such a condescending attitude towards the people of Earth, treating them like they were asking Earthlings to be their servants, as if it was a bestowal. This was blatant power disparity.
Granny was surprised, "Flame talent?".
Gules said in a low voice, "No, the skin of the people from the Refinement Flame Star has mutated, allowing them to generate flames through high temperatures. In fact, it's considered a different kind of talent. This person is truly very strong."
Lu Yin was still sound asleep, and everyone was powerless against Yan Gang.
Yan Gang was arrogant, the fiery long spear pointing directly downwards, "I'll say it again, hand over the item, or I'll turn all of you into coke."
Zhang Ding Tian coughed up blood, "Give him the stone."
Everyone felt sorrowful.
Gules's eyebrows twitched. The stone? What stone?
Just then, a green figure soared into the sky from afar. Her figure flashed and disappeared, reappearing behind Yan Gang. "You're not bad, let me try my White Flash."
"What?" Yan Gang's eyes contracted. He didn't have time to react.
Bang!
Everyone looked at the large pit outside the capital city in shock. Yan Gang, who had just looked down on everyone, was now knocked to the ground like a dead dog.
In the sky, the green-clad woman was excited, clenching her fist, muttering something to herself.
Yan Gang roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the sky, "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!" With that, he forcefully charged out, flames covering the sky around him, forming a battle armor-like shape to protect himself. The fiery long spear pierced through the air, stabbing towards the green-clad woman.
The green-clad woman was excited, "Good, bring it on!" Without anyone seeing what she did, her body suddenly disappeared. Then, Yan Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body struck by an invisible attack, his waist bending backward, and his body slammed into the ground again.
The green-clad woman's figure reappeared, looking down triumphantly.
Everyone was shocked. This, the difference was a bit too big.
This time, not only the bystanders saw it, but Yan Gang himself also felt the huge disparity. He crawled out of the deep pit, looking at the green-clad woman in the sky with shock, "Who are you?".
The green-clad woman tilted her head up, "Lulu -- Mebis."
Hearing this name, Yan Gang, Gules, Granny, and the others were shocked. "Mebis? That Mebis?" Yan Gang exclaimed.
Lulu Mebis's lips curled up, "Is there a second Mebis in the universe?".
Zhang Ding Tian, Bai Xue, and the others were puzzled. Mebis? What did it mean?
The flames around Yan Gang's body dissipated. He looked deeply at Mebis, his tone suddenly becoming much more respectful, "Here, is this your place?".
Lulu Mebis didn't answer, but instead beckoned Yan Gang with her finger, "Continue, I still want to try the power of the White Flash."
Yan Gang苦笑 (bitterly smiled), "I didn't come here to fight. The Fire Family's heir, Huo Xiaoling, was captured by Qing Yu. Qing Yu has a condition: if his belongings left in the capital are returned, he will release Huo Xiaoling."
Lulu Mebis frowned, "What does that have to do with me? Are you not going to fight?".
Yan Gang stood there calmly, completely without the desire to fight, his attitude completely different from when he first appeared.
Lulu Mebis was bored, pouted, and directly flew towards the inner city.
Watching Lulu Mebis leave, Yan Gang soared into the sky, his tone immediately turning much colder, "Did you all hear what I just said? Who is in charge? Call them out to talk to me."
Zhu Shan immediately headed towards the inner city to look for Lu Yin.
That stone was the capital, and the decision-making power should actually be in Zhang Ding Tian's hands, but Lu Yin had clearly obtained some inheritance, and he couldn't make decisions for others on his own. He had to discuss with Lu Yin. Although he didn't want to admit it, in today's entire capital, Lu Yin was the biggest protector.
"Granny, Mebis, what is that?" Bai Xue suddenly asked.
Granny and Gules exchanged a glance, and said gravely, "The universe is vast beyond measure, giving birth to countless empires and countless enormous forces. These forces each have their own transaction currencies and laws, but the only bank that can issue a common currency throughout the entire universe is called the Mebis Bank. The Mebis Bank is spread throughout the entire universe, issuing a unified currency, and is an extremely enormous and ancient economic Overlord."
Needless to say, just the words "the only one in the entire universe to issue a unified currency" were enough to make people understand what kind of existence Mebis was. Compared to the entire universe, Earth was an extremely small planet. Even so, there were many banks on Earth, but there wasn't a single bank that issued a common currency for Earth. Yet, the Mebis Bank could clearly achieve issuing a common currency for the entire universe. This was an unbelievably terrifying influence.
No wonder the arrogant Yan Gang didn't dare to act recklessly. If that woman was truly a member of the Mebis Bank, her background would far exceed those of Huo Xiaoling, Las, and Jenny Ona.
Inside the capital, Lu Yin lay on the ground, eyes closed, frowning, his whole body drenched in sweat, his fists clenched.
In his dream, he saw a snow-white jade finger crushing the void, descending across time, spreading through countless stars, getting closer and closer, closer and closer. Lu Yin suddenly shouted loudly, "Bold!" and abruptly sat up, panting heavily, his pupils dilated, unfocused. It took a long while before he calmed down, shaking his head vigorously, his eyes dazed.
At this moment, Zhu Shan arrived, "Lu Yin, what's wrong with you?".
Lu Yin stood up from the ground, saying tiredly, "Nothing, why are you here?".
Zhu Shan looked at Lu Yin doubtfully, his whole body looking like he had just been fished out of water, "Are you really okay?".
Lu Yin shook his head, "I'm fine."
"A man named Yan Gang appeared, seemingly on behalf of Qing Yu, wanting to take away that stone," Zhu Shan said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "Let's go, go meet him."
Zhu Shan gave an affirmative sound, "Do you want to change your clothes?".
"I'll change when I get back," Lu Yin replied, flying towards the outside of the city.
On the way, Zhu Shan briefly introduced the situation of Lulu Mebis defeating Yan Gang. Hearing the name Lulu Mebis, Lu Yin was surprised. Mebis, if he remembered correctly, it was a surname that was unique throughout the entire universe, belonging to the Mebis Bank.
The Mebis Bank was not an ordinary bank. He had previously wanted to open an account with the Mebis Bank but didn't qualify. Even ordinary wealthy families didn't qualify. The Mebis Bank was the only bank that could exchange the universe's common currency. If it was really that Mebis, then that woman's status was too terrifying.
