Star Odyssey

cked away, and quite a few of them looked at Lu Yin’s group strangely.
Didn’t these people claim that they had robbed Neo-Vestige Sect? Had they even stolen their battle techniques? How stupid! No, these people themselves had to be from Neo-Vestige Sect. 

That Umbral Butterfly Tribe Hunter moved to escape without any hesitation.

“Get her!” Peach shouted.

Gong Ke raised his bow and fired again.
This time, many people saw the attack.
Gong Ke did not shoot a physical arrow, but rather, arrows that were formed of star energy.
The star energy arrow pierced through the void, leaving the delicate Hunter with nowhere to escape to.
She could only try to block the arrow.

Fresh blood then burst out from the back of the Umbral Butterfly Tribe’s Hunter.
Gong Ke’s arrow had gone straight through the Hunter, and her body was now pinned to the white bone of Sheepshead Port. 

In the room, Lu Yin lightly tapped out, and a shadow in the corner of the room was suddenly forced out.
The Hunter’s black knife blade slashed out multiple times, but Aden stepped forward and blocked all of the attacks with his thunder shield before lashing out with a single fist.
A single bang rang out as Aden’s fist crashed against the black blade before the knife cracked.
Aden’s punch had shaken the void itself, forcing a figure to appear from the void as they sprawled across the ground. 

Two Hunters had been severely injured in an instant, though Gong Ke and Aden had only made a single move each. 

The difference in strength was just too great, as there was too great a disparity between the Umbral Butterfly Tribe and Neo-Vestige Sect, not to mention the difference in strength between the entire Shadowsword Sect and Aden.
The only person in the Shadowsword Sect who could trade blows with Aden was Twin Daemon. 

All the other pirates in the room stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
This battle had been completely one-sided! Where had these people come from? Were they actually from Neo-Vestige Sect? How scary.

Little Eight raised a hand, looking quite pleased with everything.
This was exactly the outcome that should await these tiny ants when confronting the Great Eastern Alliance Leader.
Upon thinking of this, Little Eight bent down and continued massaging Lu Yin’s shoulders. 

Lu Yin looked very natural, sitting at the head of the table.
He then waved his hand, dismissing the surviving pirates and only keeping Thousand Eyes and the few Hunter realm pirates behind. 

“I want to know what exactly you have discovered.” Lu Yin’s legs were propped up on the table, and he watched Thousand Eyes curiously. 

Thousand Eyes smiled, again flashing his golden teeth at the people in the room.
“I don’t understand, I really don’t.
Right, I intend to retire from the pirate world, so if this brother wants my intelligence network, that’s no problem! It’s all yours.” 

Lu Yin was amused, and he pointed at Pockmarks’ corpse.
“Who’s behind him?”

Thousand Eyes immediately shook his head.
“I don ’t know.”

Aden very calmly walked over behind Thousand Eyes and merely looked at him.

The corner of Thousand Eyes’ mouth twitched, and he once again tried to gain Lu Yin’s goodwill through schmoozing.
“Bro, the fight between big characters like you doesn’t have to involve people like us, who just want to avoid ending up as cannon fodder.
We’re only pirates, and we merely want to survive and fill our bellies.
If you don’t want us to stay in these nearby weaves, then we can leave without creating any problems.
We definitely won’t create any troubles for you.” 

“Why? Do you know who I am?” Lu Yin asked.

Thousand Eyes sighed.
“I don ’t recognize you, but I recognize that one behind me, brother.
If I remember correctly, he should be the Great Yu Empire’s Fourth Squadron Captain Aden.
There are very few Hunters who can fight against Enlighters, and for him to serve as your attendant means that you can only be one person: The Great Eastern Alliance Leader, Lu Yin.” 

Lu Yin nodded.
He then removed the black cloth covering his eye and reverted back to his true appearance.
“Smart, and the fact that you can recognize Aden shows that your name of Thousand Eyes is not in vain.
So, do you also know who’s behind that Shadowsword Sect person?” 

Thousand Eyes sighed.
“It should be Armament Weave’s Wei Rong.
He has been rather active in the central weaves lately, and he also has close connections with the Shadowsword Sect and the Umbral Butterfly Tribe.
There are even rumors that he’s about to wed the Umbral Butterfly Tribe’s young mistress, Angie, and integrate their forces even further.” 

“Wei Rong used pirates to seep his way into the Great Eastern Alliance.
That’s a good move, but unfortunately, his luck wasn’t very good.
Can you guess what I’m going to do next?” Lu Yin beamed at Thousand Eyes. 

Thousand Eyes blinked and then smiled good-naturedly.
“Actually, I have a dream.
I want to be a landlord at home after I save up enough money.” 

“Sure, I’ll give you a piece of land in Armament Weave,” Lu Yin generously offered. 

Thousand Eyes was left speechless, and he started begging.
“Alliance Leader Lu, you people all stand at the very top of the Outerverse.
You can move so many people with just a single sentence, so why would you bother with us pirates?” 

Lu Yin tapped a finger on the table top.
“Everyone has their own uses, and if someone can’t be used, then it simply means that their use hasn’t been discovered yet.
I’ve just thought of something right now—I’m missing someone to help me, and I feel like you’re a pretty decent candidate.” 

Thousand Eyes replied, “I won’t get involved in your affairs, as it’s really easy to die there.”

“If you don’t agree, then you can die now,” Lu Yin leisurely offered.

Thousand Eyes laughed.
“Alliance Leader Lu, it’s not that I look down on you, but if I, Thousand Eyes, wish to leave, then nobody can stop me.
At most, I’ll flee into another part of the universe, as that’s better than being sacrificed for your goals.” 

Lu Yin’s lips curled upwards.
“Go ahead and try.
It’ll be truly impressive if you are able to escape from me.” 

Thousand Eyes stared at Lu Yin, as if he were trying to see something in Lu Yin’s eyes.

Lu Yin stared right back, his eyes full of confidence. 

Little Eight swallowed his saliva as he watched the pirate captain whom he had once admired fawning and acting humble over Lu Yin.
Little Eight felt proud and was elated; even though he was just some tiny pirate, he had chosen to follow the right person. 

After a while, Thousand Eyes grew dejected, and he pleaded again, saying, “Alliance Leader Lu, why don’t I just give you my entire intelligence network? Wei Rong merely wants to get his hands on my network.” 

Lu Yin waved a hand.
“Everyone, leave.”

The various people felt that this was strange, but no one hesitated, and they all left.

Lu Yin blocked off all outside sound and stared at Thousand Eyes.
“Are you very dedicated to the Pirate King?” 

Thousand Eyes nodded.
“The Pirate King is the idol of all pirates.
It’s not just me—many pirates hold him in high regard.
We pirates have always been looked down on, but he’s forcibly propped up the sky for us.
If not for the Pirate King, then our lives would be even more difficult.” He then glanced at Lu Yin with a great deal of reluctance in his eyes.
“If the Innerverse and Outerverse were not separated, then Wei Rong would not have dared to force me to this point.”
