Chapter 1062: Nightking Planet
Lu Yin was moved as he listened to Ling Que’s words. “Just like Ling Gong?”
“She still hasn’t completely integrated her innate gift,” Ling Que commented. He then paused for a moment as he glared at Lu Yin. “You’re trying to get information from me.”
Lu Yin shrugged. “No, I didn’t even hear that. What did you just say?”
“Is that so?” Ling Que was suspicious.
At that moment, the door opened as a man stepped in the room. “Young Master, your drink.”
Ling Que casually ordered, “Set it here.”
The man walked across the room and set the wine on the table. He was just about to leave when Lu Yin set his hand on the man’s arm and stared at the man in amazement. “It’s actually you?”
Ling Que was puzzled.
The man’s expression changed when he saw Lu Yin. “It’s you?”
Lu Yin smiled. “The universe is so huge, but you just had to show up in front of me. How interesting.”
The man’s face turned a deathly shade of white. He used his strength, trying to pull his arm back, but Lu Yin was much stronger, and the man simply could not move.
Ling Que felt that the situation was rather strange. “Do you two know each other?”
Lu Yin looked at Ling Que. “Is this person someone from your Lingling clan?”
Ling Que shook his head. “I picked him up along the way. He was severely injured when the Sixth Mainland invaded, and when our Lingling clan moved out, we happened to rescue him. Why? Is there a problem?”
“Do you know who he is?” Lu Yin asked.
Ling Que turned to look at the man.
The man gritted his teeth and his expression turned ugly. “Lu Yin, I chased after you back then because I was hired to do so. There’s no grudge between us, so please let me go.”
Lu Yin was amused. “You chased us from Chaos Flowzone all the way to Starfall Sea and you\'re the reason two of my seniors are missing. Despite that, you’re telling me that it was all just a misunderstanding? Hmm? Feng Mo?”
The man who had brought the wine in was none other than Feng Mo. In the past, he had been hired by Deep Crimson Hall to kill Lu Yin’s group, and he had forced Lu Yin and the others to take part in the Sea King’s son-in-law selection. If not for this person, Big Pao and Little Pao would have never needed to go into hiding. As it was, Lu Yin still did not know where the two brothers had disappeared to.
Lu Yin had not planned on trying to find this person—after all, the universe was incredibly vast. However, he had never dreamed that the man would actually walk out in front of him.
Ling Que was astonished and he stared at Feng Mo. “You actually chased after this fellow? How stupid! Why didn’t you just kill him?”
Feng Mo’s arm hurt badly, and sweat beaded up on his forehead. He was a Hunter, and he had been ambushed by the Neohuman Alliance’s Specter Clan after leaving the Sea King’s Dome, resulting in him barely escaping with his life to hide in the Starfall Sea. He had believed that he would be fine after that, but he had never expected that the Innerverse and Outerverse would suddenly undergo such incredible changes and that the Sixth Mainland would invade. During the invasion, he had narrowly escaped death once again before finally being rescued by the Lingling clan.
Feng Mo had stayed with the Lingling clan and served Ling Que not out of a personal decision to repay the clan’s kindness, but rather because he had been ordered to do so by the Relentless Slayers. They were greedy and wanted the Lingling clan’s innate gift, so they had ordered Feng Mo to see if he could find out anything. No one had considered that he might run into Lu Yin.
“Young Master, no matter what I did in the past, I am now dedicated to the Lingling clan. Please, save me,” Feng Mo pleaded.
Ling Que looked back at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin explained, “He’s from Chaos Flowzone’s Relentless Slayers. Did you think that he stayed with the Lingling clan simply because he wanted to repay his gratitude?”
Ling Que’s expression changed, and he stared at Feng Mo, bloodlust filling the youth’s eyes. “Didn’t you say that you were from the Starfall Sea?”
Feng Mo started begging, “Young Master, I-”
After saying just a few words, Feng Mo suddenly slapped out at Ling Que, who was only an Explorer. Although Ling Que was incredibly talented, it was difficult to respond to a Hunter’s sudden ambush.
Lu Yin exerted some strength through his right hand, causing Feng Mo to flip over, slam into the floor, and miss his attack. Not only that, but half of the man’s body was also left numb after being thrown to the floor and forced to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Yin looked down at the older man. “Trying to sneak attack someone in front of me? It’s only been a few years since we last saw each other, but it seems that you’ve become even stupider.”
Ling Que coldly stared at Feng Mo, as the Hunter’s sneak attack had nearly succeeded. Feng Mo had attempted to ambush him so that he could distract Lu Yin and escape. How detestable.
“Brother Lu, leave this person to me. I want to see what he’s trying to do with my Lingling clan since he’s been sticking around us,” Ling Que said coldly.
Lu Yin nodded, and he released a bit of force. He used the Overlaying Stacks Path to send a subtle attack through Feng Mo’s arm and into the man’s body, severing the channels inside him and crippling the man. Lu Yin’s hand then relaxed. “I’ll leave him with you. Force out everything about what happened since the start of the Starfall Sea’s events as well as everything concerning my two missing seniors. I want to know if he’s connected to that.”
Ling Que nodded.
Feng Mo’s interrogation proceeded rather smoothly, and before long, Lu Yin was informed of what Feng Mo had experienced after the two parted ways.
“This fellow was actually pursued by the Neohuman Alliance’s Specter Clan, but he didn’t die. How lucky,” Ling Que remarked with a sigh.
Lu Yin looked through the report of what Feng Mo had gone through, reliving those experiences from the past. He knew why Feng Mo had been pursued, as it was all connected to Lu Yin. He had given some orders to Faceless, which was why the people from the Specter Clan had chased after Feng Mo.
It seemed that Lu Yin could indeed impersonate someone from the upper levels of the Specter Clan and give out orders.
As for Big Pao and Little Pao, Feng Mo had never run into them again.
Hold on. Lu Yin seriously checked through the report. “Did he explain how he escaped from the Specter Clan?”
Ling Que hurriedly glanced through that section of the report, and his expression changed slightly.
It definitely was not easy to escape from the Specter Clan, and since Feng Mo had been able to escape, then he should also be able to escape from the Lingling clan. Furthermore, Feng Mo had actually managed to evade the Sixth Mainland while staying in the Starfall Sea.
Just as the two thought of this, they heard a voice call out from the doorway, “Young Master, Feng Mo is gone.”
Lu Yin’s gaze trembled, and he looked up to scan in all directions, but he could not see Feng Mo’s rune lines anywhere. He even scanned the spacecraft, but Feng Mo’s rune lines were nowhere to be seen.
Ling Que’s expression grew ugly. “Search! There’s no way he escaped!”
Everyone in the spacecraft began to search crazily, but Feng Mo seemed to have completely vanished.
Feng Mo was from the Relentless Slayers, and they definitely had their own methods to conceal their auras. However, his cultivation had already been shattered, so had he managed to escape? The Lingling clan expert who had been guarding Feng Mo was also a Hunter, so there was no explanation for how Feng Mo had escaped so easily.
No matter how they investigated, nobody could understand how Feng Mo had fled.
Lu Yin’s expression sank. Feng Mo must have possessed some extraordinary treasure, as there was no other way for him to have escaped given that situation. And since he had already escaped, it would be extremely difficult to find him again. He was an assassin, and Lu Yin believed the man would remember Lu Yin’s aura.
The incident with Feng Mo put Ling Que in a bad mood for the next two days, and not even his cheerleaders’ cries could pique his interest.
After two days of travel, a massive black planet appeared in the distance. Ling Que sighed. “It’s Nightking Planet. We’re here.”
Lu Yin stared at it in amazement. That’s a planet? It’s too big!
Nightking Planet was indeed a planet, but it was larger than any planet Lu Yin had ever seen before. Its humongous size made it look like a monster laying in space, blocking the way in front of them.
“Nightking Planet is one of the largest planets in the Innerverse, and it’s rumored that the Daynight clan’s first Nightking came from this planet. The Nightking bloodline’s most elite experts have gathered on this planet, and nobody knows how many hidden trump cards this place is hiding,” Ling Que shared. Even if he was from the Lingling clan, Nightking Planet was still fearsome enough to leave him nervous.
Lu Yin stared intently at Nightking Planet. That place contained a terrifying number of rune lines, and there was definitely more than one powerhouse in the Envoy realm on this planet. Those people were clearly Nightking Planet’s hidden trump cards.
The Daynight Feast had been arranged to take place on Nightking Planet this time.
“Is the current leader of the Daynight clan Nightking Dijiang?” Lu Yin asked.
Ling Que nodded. “That’s right, Nightking Dijiang. He isn’t the strongest patriarch in the clan’s history, but he’s still pretty decent. At the least, he doesn’t have any records of losing, and according to the older generation, Nightking Dijiang was comparable to us during his generation, as he was considered unrivaled among his peers.”
“Since he hasn’t shown himself for some time, could he have already died?” Lu Yin asked, slightly hopeful.
Ling Que’s expression instantly changed. “Speak softer! This is Nightking Planet, and there are Nightking clan experts all around you. Don’t talk bad about their leader, as I don’t want to die even if you do.”
Lu Yin smiled as he stared at Nightking Planet. Aside from the clusters of rune lines that he could see, there were definitely hidden ones as well.
He had some desire to see the hidden powers of a pinnacle power from the Innerverse like the Daynight clan.
Many spacecraft flew towards Nightking Planet.
Occasionally, some vessels would stop by and offer greetings to Ling Que.
Ling Que smiled in response, and during this entire time, the cries of his cheerleaders never ceased, which caused many people to arrive with strange expressions. Still, they were amazed despite their best intentions.
“Brother Lu, you should also put a group of cheerleaders together. It’s very grand—just look at the admiration in everyone’s eyes.” Ling Que sighed.
Lu Yin did not know where this person was seeing admiration. “As long as you’re happy.”
“Alright, Brother Lu, we’ve arrived at Nightking Planet. I’m going to meet with some other friends now, so I’ll take my leave here.” Ling Que had already planned to chase Lu Yin away after successfully passing through the inspection and escorting Lu Yin onto Nightking Planet. Ling Que did not want to be mistaken for Lu Yin’s lackey, as any fool knew that Lu Yin had a terrible relationship with the Daynight clan. Ling Que had no desire to create trouble for himself!
Lu Yin also understood Ling Que’s thoughts, and he did not remain behind. It would not do to latch onto Ling Que to enter Nightking Planet.
Nightking Planet was absolutely enormous, and the buildings on it were startlingly high to an exaggerated degree. Any random building was hundreds of meters tall at the least, and some even shot through the sky, seemingly swaying with the planet’s rotation.
The planet’s soil was grey, and the skies were also a dark grey. The drab colors gave the entire planet a dignified and solemn atmosphere. It felt like there was no place for cheers or jokes on this planet, as only the things on display were the Nightking clan’s nobility, power, and unrivaled arrogance.
This planet amply demonstrated the behavior of the Nightking’s bloodline.
Anybody who visited Nightking Planet would be forced to feel the pressure of this ancient clan.
Lu Yin also felt it, and so he released the Ghost Monkey. “Come on, take a piss.”
The monkey froze, completely bewildered. “Seventh Bro, what did you just say?”
Lu Yin smiled. “Take a piss.”
The monkey became furious. “Seventh Bro, you’re trying to humiliate me!”
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. “You’re no fun.”
He then recalled the Ghost Monkey, and started observing his surrounding rune lines. After a short amount of time, he randomly picked a direction and began moving.
The area where the Daynight Feast would be held was in Nightking Planet’s capital city: Evernight City. Given Lu Yin’s speed, it would not take him very long to arrive.
As long as one was able to arrive on Nightking Planet, there would be no need for them to pass through any additional inspections to enter Evernight City.
When he arrived at Evernight City, Lu Yin was struck by an eye-opening experience. Every building in the entire city was extravagant, all of them looking like magnificent structures worthy of royalty. However, the city’s atmosphere was deathly still, and combined with the monotonous architectural style, the city gave off an unconventional form of suppression, though it was also filled with a dark grandeur.
Lu Yin did not like this city, as the entire place seemed to be looking down on everything within it. Anyone who visited this place would be forced to feel insignificant. “One day , this city will be torn apart.”
Evernight City was vast, but there were not many people there. There were only a few members of the Nightking clan to begin with, and most of the Daynight clan members were not qualified to visit Nightking Planet, which left the massive city devoid of sound and with the atmosphere of an abandoned metropolis.
“In this city, any store that opened up would definitely immediately fall into a deficit and go bankrupt,” the Ghost Monkey joked.
