Nightking Zhenwu turned around and looked at Lu Yin with an expression of astonishment. “Brother Lu, what’s the matter?”
Lu Yin did not bother responding to Nightking Zhenwu, only continuing to look at Zhuo Daynight. “I want to talk with you for a minute.”
Zhuo Daynight indifferently replied, “I don’t know you.”
Lu Yin’s finger twitched slightly, and he tried to use star energy to transmit sound to Zhuo Daynight, but his efforts were disrupted by Nightking Zhenwu, who smiled faintly. “Brother Lu, you should speak your mind if there’s something bothering you.”
Lu Yin stared at Zhuo Daynight. He wanted to say something, but after thinking of Nightqueen Yanqing’s warning, all he could say was, “Don’t believe him.”
Zhuo Daynight’s expression did not change.
Nightking Zhenwu was amused. “Brother Lu, what do you mean by that?”
“Lu Yin, Arbiter Zhenwu is talking to you! You’re being too rude!” one person from the Daynight clan barked at Lu Yin.
Quite a few others agreed.
Lu Yin’s expression frosted over. “Shut up!”
His shout swept out and caused the Night Library to tremble.
Nightking Zhenwu’s expression grew more serious. “Brother Lu, I acknowledge that you are an elite powerhouse, so I won’t fuss over your disrespect. However, there’s no reason for you to be so insolent in the Night Library.”
“Senior, Lu Yin has repeatedly been causing trouble during this Daynight Feast, so I ask for Senior to please suppress him and make him follow the rules!” a Daynight member shouted.
“Senior, please act and teach Lu Yin a lesson!” another Daynight member added on.
…
Nightking Zhenwu raised his hands to quell the voices. He then looked at Lu Yin before shifting his gaze back to Zhuo Daynight. “I recall that, during the events on Planet Pyrolyte, Brother Lu saved the life of this Daynight junior of mine.” He suddenly directed a sharp look to Zhuo Daynight. “Brother Lu saved you before, so how can you not recognize him? Isn’t that telling the universe that my Daynight clan is a joke and filled with people who do not know how to repay kindness? Go and offer a toast to Brother Lu.”
He then passed a cup of wine over to Zhuo Daynight.
Zhuo Daynight took the cup and calmly walked towards Lu Yin. “Brother Lu, I’m sorry, but this girl will not be able to forget the kindness you have shown me for the rest of my life.”
Lu Yin stared at Zhuo Daynight. “Have you lost your mind?”
Zhuo Daynight repeated, “Brother Lu, I’m sorry, but this girl will not be able to forget your kindness in her life.”
Lu Yin blankly stared at Zhuo Daynight, not understanding what had happened to her.
Nightking Zhenwu walked up behind Zhuo Daynight and smiled at Lu Yin. At the same time, he laid a hand on Zhuo Daynight’s shoulder. “Brother Lu, this junior of mine doesn’t have a great memory, so please forgive her.”
Lu Yin stared into Zhuo Daynight’s eyes and then looked at Nightking Zhenwu. He could not tell if Zhuo Daynight had lost her memories, if she had fallen under Nightking Zhenwu’s control, or if something else had happened to her. In any case, Lu Yin could tell that it would be useless even if he told her everything, as it would only prompt Nightking Zhenwu to act even sooner.
Lu Yin hesitated, but then took the cup and drained it.
Nightking Zhenwu smiled. “How magnanimous, Brother Lu.”
Lu Yin watched as Zhuo Daynight followed Nightking Zhenwu out of the library as his mind continued to churn.
“Seventh Bro, this is the Daynight clan’s territory, and something is obviously off with Zhuo Daynight. Thus, whatever you say would be useless. Just bear with it a little longer.”
Nightqueen Yanqing walked over to Lu Yin’s side. “You’re still a little lacking if you want to wreak havoc here in my Daynight clan. That woman will forever be my brother’s puppet, something for him to boast of to others.”
“Are you speaking for the entire Daynight clan or just your Nightking bloodline?” Lu Yin calmly replied.
Nightqueen Yanqing’s expression wavered, and she did not reply. Instead, she moved away.
At this moment, Nightking Zhenwu stood at the highest point in the library, and there was a slight smile on his face as he said, “Everyone, this day is not just for me to host this Daynight Feast and provide you all with an opportunity to forge relationships with the elites from all of the various powers gathered here. We also have an enormous announcement to make today, which involves the Daynight clan, Daynight Flowzone, and even the Innerverse and the Outerverse.”
Everyone stared at Nightking Zhenwu, listening in silence.
“Everyone, please follow me to Evernight Square,” Nightking Zhenwu requested. He then led the members of the Daynight clan out first.
The others quickly followed.
Evernight Square was located in the west of Evernight City, and it was the largest arena within the city. The square’s grounds were sturdy, and even the surrounding void had been reinforced to the point where not even Hunters could tear through it. This was no ordinary place, as it contained mountains, rivers, and an enormous statue towering high above everything. Naturally, this statue was of the First Nightking.
In the Daynight Feasts of the past, most people would first visit Evernight Square to look at the First Nightking, and some would even kneel down while others would simply use the scene to motivate themselves.
At this moment, there were tens of thousands of people waiting on the broad plains that lay beside a river that ran through Evernight Square. These people seemed to be both dazed and frozen stiff from fear.
When Zhuo Daynight saw this crowd, her eyes filled with emotions. These people were the Dayking bloodline members, and her parents should be among them.
Lu Yin looked at the statue of the First Nightking towering high in the nearby mountain range. This person had raised the Daynight clan’s Nightking bloodline to its modern heights, and he had suppressed the universe during his time. This had created the foundation for the tyrannical and illustrious clan that currently existed, and the Fist Nightking had greatly contributed to the Daynight clan. However, he had not necessarily contributed to the universe.
If this person was still alive, then the present era Daynight clan would be even more tyrannical as well as more exceptional.
Not too far away from Lu Yin, Starsibyl was also looking at the statue of the First Nightking, but her thoughts were unreadable.
The First Nightking was someone too far removed from them, as he had been an ancient figure. Compared to them, his power level had been explosive and unfathomable.
At this moment, Nightking Zhenwu was standing in front of the First Nightking’s statue, facing the crowd. Thus, to look at the statue, the crowd was also forced to look at him at the same time.
“I believe that everyone is aware that, since ancient times, my Daynight clan has had two King bloodlines. One is the Nightking clan and the other is the Dayking clan. Since the Dayking bloodline was too extreme, they unfortunately provoked the various great powers of the Innerverse into practically annihilating them, resulting in them being suppressed into obscurity. After so many years have passed, today, I, Nightking Zhenwu, have made the decision to liberate the Dayking bloodline,” Nightking Zhenwu announced.
Everyone was shocked to hear these words, as they were all aware of the existence of the Dayking bloodline as well as of the Daynight clan’s Sealed Cage Technique that restricted the members of the Dayking bloodline. According to their understanding, the day of the Dayking bloodline obtaining freedom should never come, as the Nightking bloodline would never allow such an opportunity to occur. But despite all of that, Nightking Zhenwu had declared that he would liberate the Dayking bloodline.
Even the members of the Daynight clan were taken aback, let alone the outsiders.
Nightqueen Yanqing was also stupefied, as even she had not known about this.
Zhanlong Daynight’s pupils shrank, and he stared at Nightking Zhenwu in disbelief.
The other members of the Daynight and Nightking clans were all at a loss.
Zhuo Daynight’s eyes went bloodshot as she looked at Nightking Zhenwu. Her emotions had gone rampant as she trembled uncontrollably. This day had finally arrived.
