Clearly, it was impossible for just Flying Horse Manor to have managed to gain control of half of the Technocracy’s authority, but Madam Hong had another status: she was also one of the Daosourse Sect’s guardians, and she had far more powerful people backing her.
Lu Yin thought of Bluedome Elder. Qing Tan had been sent to the Neoverse to control an overseer, and she was one of Bluedome Elder’s disciples. However, that did not add up to Lu Yin, as Bluedome Elder was from the Progenitor of Bloodlines Territory, while Madam Hong was from the Progenitor of Combat Territory.
However, the connection could still hold up if one ignored the various territories and realms of the Sixth Mainland and looked at the position both people had within the Daosource Sect.
Lu Yin stared at Xun Jiong as the man knelt on the floor and trembled from fear. He was absolutely terrified that Lu Yin would destroy him.
Lu Yin asked, “Where’s the Sea King?”
Xun Jiong shuddered. “He’s here, on another planet.”
“Take me there,” Lu Yin commanded.
Xun Jiong did not dare refuse, though he glanced at Hong Ying’s body once again.
At the moment, there were no Envoys in Flying Horse Manor, which gave Lu Yin and the others the freedom to come and go as they wished.
Even if there were some defensive measures in place, they meant nothing to Liu Ye and Fei Hua’s strength.
Xun Jiong led Lu Yin and the others to a planet close to Flying Horse Manor’s headquarters. Lu Yin saw a majestic number of runes, and saw that they came from the colossal giants, which left him pleasantly surprised. He had not expected to discover that the giants and the Sea King had been incarcerated on the same planet.
“Madam Hong likes to collect strong people to be her slaves, and some people are imprisoned on this planet if they aren’t obedient,” Xun Jiong explained quietly.
Lu Yin asked Liu Ye and Fei Hua to rescue the giants while he made his way to the center of the planet. There, he saw the imprisoned Sea King.
Magma filled the entire area at the planet’s core, and there was a thick rock formation overhead. Wind blew through the area to create a whistling sound, and there were also odd insects flying about.
Lu Yin made his way to the center of the planet, and he saw chains that led off into the distant magma.
He released his domain and used it to push back the sea of magma to two sides. He followed along the chains, and soon revealed a miserable figure.
The magma was pushed back further, and at the end of the chains, Lu Yin saw an ugly bald man whose skin was burnt and had festering sores. He was lying on the sea of magma, and it was impossible to know if he was dead or alive.
Lu Yin dropped to the ground and approached the man. He looked at the man calmly. “Are you still alive?”
Suddenly, the man’s eyes snapped open and he grabbed hold of Lu Yin. At the same time, Lu Yin raised a hand and met the man’s attack. There was a bang, and a shockwave swept out that distorted the void and created spatial cracks that tore through the magma sea. Overhead, the rock formation was struck, which caused the entire planet to tremble.
“Despite not seeing each other for seven years, the Sea King has the same personality as ever,” Lu Yin commented while squeezing the Sea King’s hand and not giving an inch.
The Sea King was a powerhouse who was comparable to Highsage Leon. At the man’s peak, Lu Yin would never have dared face him. However, the man had been weakened greatly, and Lu Yin could see from the Sea King’s runes that his strength did not even amount to a power level of 500,000. The man was incapable of hurting Lu Yin.
The Sea King stared at Lu Yin, and finally got a clear look at Lu Yin’s face. The older man’s hand suddenly went loose and an incredulous expression covered his face. “You?”
A smile crept across Lu Yin’s face. “Senior Sea King, it’s been a long time.”
Over their heads, the rock started to shatter and pieces fell down. The planet’s core started to collapse.
The Sea King stared at Lu Yin, but then suddenly remembered something, and his eyes grew dark. “You betrayed the Fifth Mainland?”
Lu Yin shrugged. “I’ll led Madam Hong elsewhere so that I could save you.”
The Sea King’s eyes flickered, and he stared at Lu Yin. Madam Hong was a terrifying figure, so how could this mere child possibly do anything to distract her?
Lu Yin casually cut the chains binding the Sea King, causing the older man’s eyes to twitch. These chains had imprisoned him, which meant that they could withstand an Envoy’s attacks, and yet this kid had just sliced through them?
“What’s with your strength?” The Sea King was quite startled by what he had seen.
