Very quickly, Lu Yin arrived.
Yan Gang had been waiting impatiently. Without Lulu Mebis present, his attitude became arrogant again.
Lu Yin saw Yan Gang, but didn't react to him. Instead, he scanned Bai Xue with his eyes. He remembered vaguely doing something before he fell asleep.
Bai Xue's expression wasn't very good. It was partly because of Yan Gang and partly because of Lu Yin. More and more rumors were spreading within the inner city, and she couldn't stop them, secretly getting angry.
"Lulu Mebis?" Lu Yin asked Granny.
Granny replied, "She went back into the city already."
Lu Yin nodded and looked at Zhang Ding Tian, "You're injured?".
Zhang Ding Tian said in a deep voice, "This person is very strong, he's from the Refinement Flame Star."
Lu Yin's eyebrows twitched. Refinement Flame Star? He hadn't heard of it. After entering the Azure Territory, he had gone straight to Earth and didn't really understand the situation of the Azure Territory.
Not far away, Yan Gang's gaze turned cold, "Which one of you is in charge? Come out and talk."
Lu Yin turned his head to look at Yan Gang, "What do you want?".
Yan Gang was so angry he laughed, "Are you ignoring me?".
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "What if I am?".
Yan Gang's eyes widened in an instant, and the temperature around his body rose, distorting the air. However, as if he had thought of something, he cautiously glanced at the inner city, exhaled, and said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense and give me Qing Yu's things."
"Based on what?" Lu Yin retorted, his tone not good at all. Many people were like this when they had just woken up.
A murderous intent flashed in Yan Gang's eyes, "Impudent! Do you know who I am?".
"No, and I don't need to know," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Yan Gang was furious. If it weren't for his fear of Lulu Mebis, he would have already attacked directly. These natives couldn't stop him at all. "State your conditions. I must take Qing Yu's belongings."
Lu Yin originally had no intention of keeping that stone, even if Xia Luo hadn't warned him. That stone's importance was immense, something he couldn't possess. But even if he gave it up, he wanted to exchange it for enough benefits. "Do you represent Qing Yu or the trial disciples?".
"Qing Yu," Yan Gang said in a cold voice.
Lu Yin said indifferently, "The thing can be given to him, but he must hand over all the captured disciples to me."
Everyone was surprised, not expecting Lu Yin to make this condition. Remembering that Lu Yin had once said he would use these students to negotiate with the Great Yu Empire, the gazes of Zhang Ding Tian and the others became much more determined.
In fact, what Lu Yin cared about were the Star Energy crystals of those students; negotiation was just a supplement.
Yan Gang frowned, "What do you want the students for? By the way, you seem to have captured quite a few disciples here as well. Is Jenny Ona among them?".
Today, many disciples had disconnected their personal terminals themselves, so naturally, news couldn't appear on the Local Area Network. Moreover, Lu Yin's personal terminal wasn't famous, so some battle reports couldn't be announced.
"It seems there is such a person," Lu Yin replied.
"Release her," Yan Gang roared in a deep voice.
Lu Yin sneered, "Do you think you're so fragrant?".
Yan Gang's eyes widened, "Too arrogant!" With that, he slammed his palms together, generating flames, and leaped towards Lu Yin. The people from the Refinement Flame Star had always had hot tempers. They had already held back for a long time, and today, Lu Yin's words made him attack again.
Everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Yin clenched his right fist, light distorting around his knuckles. Standing on the ground, he threw out a punch. Yan Gang, who was rushing towards Lu Yin,'s expression changed drastically. Even though it was broad daylight, this punch made Yan Gang see darkness, see the transition between day and night. His body felt inexplicable pain, as if he was experiencing some kind of contradiction. He let out a low roar, and flames transformed into a long spear, thrusting it out. The shockwave crushed the earth. With a loud bang, Yan Gang flew backward, the fiery long spear dissipating, and he staggered back several steps in the air.
Lu Yin also took a step back, looking at Yan Gang solemnly. This person was indeed very strong, even surpassing Mo Nuo. He was definitely a Fusion Realm expert whose cultivation had been sealed.
That move just now, the White Night Fist, was a combat skill inherited by the White Night Clan. In terms of power, it even surpassed the Three Star Heavenly Stellar Palm and the Seven Style Heavenly Beast Claw. To think it was blocked by this person, and he wasn't even injured. This person's combat strength was not to be underestimated.
Lu Yin was surprised, but Yan Gang was even more shocked. He was just an Expedition Realm cultivator, yet he had brought a sense of danger to him. He had just displayed his full strength. If this person's attack had been even slightly stronger, he didn't know if he could have broken the seal. This native was very strong.
Zhang Ding Tian's eyes narrowed. He had already exchanged blows with Yan Gang and knew how terrifying Yan Gang was. Lu Yin could clearly force him back. His strength was much greater than when they first met. This person's progress was quite rapid.
Lu Yin's strength earned Yan Gang's respect. Yan Gang lowered his gaze slightly, looking at Lu Yin solemnly, "Jenny Ona is a descendant of the Ona family of the Great Yu Empire. Capturing her will bring you immense trouble. After all, this planet belongs to the Great Yu Empire. The Ona family has ten thousand ways to wipe out the humans on this planet. You should understand this clearly."
Lu Yin said indifferently, "I understand very clearly. No need to say more. If you want anything, let Qing Yu hand over the captured disciples to me, otherwise, there's no negotiation."
Yan Gang nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll contact Qing Yu." With that, he turned on his personal terminal.
Just as Yan Gang contacted Qing Yu, Lulu Mebis suddenly appeared, startling everyone.
"I knew you had obtained an inheritance. That punch just now was pretty good. Let's spar," Lulu Mebis said, staring excitedly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled faintly, "I refuse."
Lulu Mebis's eyes widened, "Refuse? Why? Strong individuals should spar more often to advance."
"I'm not strong," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Lulu Mebis shook her head, "Among those in the Expedition Realm, you're very good, qualified to fight me. Stop talking nonsense, come here."
Seeing a beautiful young woman talking to a man like this, Zhu Shan and the others had strange expressions. This woman was too straightforward!
Lu Yin had a headache. He really didn't want to fight this woman. Her strength was too great, and taking a punch from her wouldn't be pleasant. Moreover, with the speed he gained from that stone, Lu Yin dared to guarantee that once they sparred, he would only be passively beaten. It would be very difficult to catch her. He didn't like looking for trouble.
"Hey, are you even a man? Come on, hurry up!" Lulu Mebis shouted loudly.
Lu Yin remained indifferent, looking at Yan Gang.
Lulu Mebis was anxious, but Lu Yin didn't move, so she had no choice. She couldn't just sneak attack, could she? She was a lady, she didn't attack good people, only bad ones.
Lu Yin suddenly had a thought. He remembered the Heavenly Stellar Art. The Heavenly Stellar Art's circulation could allow him to see through the variations of the Seven Style Heavenly Beast Claw, thus learning it. So, could he learn her speed from Lulu Mebis's movements? It seemed like there was such a possibility. Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Should he spar with her?
Suddenly, Bai Xue exclaimed, and everyone saw that she was talking to someone using her personal terminal.
After a short while, Bai Xue looked up, her expression unsightly, and said, "Blue Battalion... is destroyed."
Zhang Ding Tian's gaze turned cold, "Who did it?".
Lu Yin also looked at Bai Xue. The Northeast Blue Battalion was a force created by Luo Sheng. He still remembered that Zhao Yu was one of the three Snow Maidens of the Blue Battalion.
Bai Xue said in a deep voice, "It wasn't destroyed by someone, but by a mutated beast, a single one, huge, able to fly, a sea turtle."
"A sea turtle?" Several people were surprised, their expressions strange.
Bai Xue nodded, "According to the Blue Battalion's probes using personal terminals, that sea turtle's combat power exceeds ten thousand, and it's impossible to probe specifically."
Everyone was shocked. Exceeding ten thousand? Combat power exceeding ten thousand was the power to Wander the Stars.
The limit of Expedition Realm was 3000 combat power. Above that was Fusion Realm, with a limit of 6000. Above Fusion Realm was Extreme Realm, with a limit of 10,000. Once someone surpassed 10,000 combat power, they were called Explorers, meaning they were powerful enough to explore the universe. These kinds of powerhouses could Wander the Stars, unbound by the universe.
Qing Yu was a powerhouse with combat power exceeding ten thousand, able to Wander the Stars. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for him to survive on Neptune.
There was clearly a mutated beast on Earth with combat power exceeding ten thousand. Where did it come from?
At this moment, Yan Gang seemed to have finished talking with Qing Yu, calling out loudly, "Qing Yu has—" Before he could finish speaking, an immeasurable and terrifying pressure came from the east, overwhelming the entire world. Yan Gang was crushed to the ground by the pressure, maintaining his talking posture, swallowing a mouthful of dust. At this moment, the eastern sky was covered.
Lu Yin and the others looked towards the east in shock. An extremely huge sea turtle, its area exceeding the entire capital city's area, appeared before everyone's eyes. This scene stunned millions of survivors. Was there actually such a big sea turtle in the world? Moreover, it exuded an aura that terrified everyone. That was the powerhouse with combat power exceeding ten thousand, with the powerful strength to Wander the Stars.
Yan Gang angrily stood up, wanting to curse, but he was dumbfounded the moment he looked up. Where did this freakishly huge black turtle come from?
The sea turtle was very fast, roaring as it passed by. Its enormous shadow covered the capital in just one second before disappearing, heading towards the west. Its huge eyes didn't even glance below. To it, Lu Yin and the others were just ants, ants that could be crushed easily.
