That was where she was conflicted. So far, the only person who could deal with the Sword Sect and wanted to do so was Lu Yin. She hoped he would defeat the Sword Sect and free You Ye'er, giving her Nether Court a natural opportunity to join the Eastern Frontier Alliance. But if the Sixth Mainland, an outside enemy, got involved, that would no longer be possible.
Moreover, Lu Yin had never paid her any attention. That was what troubled her most.
Madam You wasn't the only one troubled. Many people connected to Lu Yin, including members of the Eastern Frontier Alliance, were anxious to know what would happen, but most of them weren't in any position to ask.
As Qinghua Venerable stepped out, the first person to contact Lu Yin and force him to offer an explanation appeared: Master Yuan.
Lu Yin had already reached the Small Thousand Flowzone. Star Picking Girl had brought Wendy Yu Shan's blood to Senior Zhu, and Lu Yin received a call from Master Yuan.
Master Yuan rarely contacted him. This time, he was genuinely anxious.
"Does Qinghua Venerable's emergence have anything to do with you?" Master Yuan asked.
Lu Yin was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, Senior. I know what I should and shouldn't do."
"Good," Master Yuan said, then hung up.
Lu Yin looked up at the starry sky. The time to deal with the Sword Sect was drawing near.
Senior Zhu spent a full day divining. At last, Lu Yin saw the Rune Dao Numbers scatter in every direction across the starry sky—the exact same result as Star Picking Girl's divination.
His heart sank.
"Alliance Leader Lu, please come in," Star Picking Girl said.
Lu Yin followed Star Picking Girl into the place where he had first met Senior Zhu.
