Chapter 819: Western Weaves’ Invasion Plan

Upon hearing Wei Baichuan’s words, Wei Rong’s mind was jolted, he felt as if a hammer had hit his entire body, and his face went completely pale. “I understand.”

“Little Rong, we have decided to truly evacuate our ancestral planet and head for Millions City,” Wei Baichuan said. The previous evacuation had just been Wei Rong putting on a show to lull Lu Yin into a false sense of security. But this time, the Wei family was truly afraid.

Wei Rong’s gaze trembled. “There’s no need. I’ve already made preparations.”

Wei Baichuan was surprised. “You have preparations?”

Wei Rong closed the screen and then closed his eyes.

Yi Feng was amazed. “You really made preparations?”

Wei Rong opened his eyes. “Destroy everything indiscriminately.”

Yi Feng seriously said, “No matter what you do, consider the Wei family. This family has lasted for countless years, and their lineage has nearly been cut off several times. Don’t force the entire Wei family to accompany you to the grave just for your own sake.”

Wei Rong activated his gadget. He did not actually know who he was contacting, but he only said, “Begin.”

He never thought that he would actually use this option. He was cautious, and no matter who his opponent was, he would always leave more than one option available. However, this time, he had used all of the Wei family’s options, and even his hidden contact in Neo-Vestige Sect had been completely exposed, but none of that had been enough to resolve this crisis. Thus, he could only make one final gamble.

He had once thought that his ultimate opponent might be Wang Wen or Qiong Xi'er, or even possibly one of those arrogant scions from the Innerverse. He had never imagined that Lu Yin would force him to this point or that even all of his hidden trumps would end up being revealed by him.

Unfortunately, the collapsible spacecraft belonged to Hai Qiqi, and she had once again gone to the Astral River to explore.

Actually, deep in his heart, Lu Yin hoped that the Innerverse wouldn’t reconnect to the Outerverse anytime soon, as the lies that he had told made him nervous.

In the Outerverse, the people most likely to find a route back into the Innerverse were Endless Borders.

Lu Yin was still thinking about how he could find some time to meet with Endless Borders and improve their relationship. If he could join their board as he had with Aegis, it would be wonderful.

“The sect leader is very efficient, and with 100,000 disciples joining the war, we’re guaranteed victory.” Peach was quite happy.

Lu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. With the Neo-Vestige Sect reinforcing the Allied Forces, it was over. Even if the Dark Phoenix family was closer, and even if they moved into Armament Weave, so what? On the battlefield, the Neo-Vestige Sect’s power was not something that the Dark Phoenix family could compare to.

The Outerverse powers remained silent. Since the Neo-Vestige Sect had entered the fray, the Wei family was doomed.

Quite a few powers from the central weaves withdrew their forces from the battlefield.

Even the Umbral Butterfly Tribe moved out of Armament Weave, and all of Angie’s various methods were useless, as the Umbral Butterfly Tribe was not willing to be buried alongside the Wei family.

This war was over, as nobody could stop the Great Eastern Alliance’s advance anymore.

Hill Auna was very busy at this time, as many of the central weave’s powers that had aided Armament Weave were hurriedly contacting the Great Yu Empire’s minister and making their best attempts to mend their relationships. The Wei family was already doomed, and no one wanted the Great Eastern Alliance to aim its spear their way because of this war.

In the span of a single night, the Wei family seemed to have been abandoned by the entire universe.

In Millions City, Qiong Xi'er held Nana as she pondered the recent events.

Nana felt embarrassed, and her face was flushed red. “Young Master, is the Wei family finished?”

Qiong Xi'er stared intently at the large star chart in front of her, as if she was waiting for something.

Her gadget rang, and a notice appeared. When Qiong Xi'er looked at it, she suddenly relaxed.

Nana was puzzled at the change. “Young Master, what’s going on?”

Qiong Xi'er forcefully carressed Nana’s face. “Wei Rong, that bugger, has not admitted defeat yet. It won’t be easy for Lu Yin to achieve victory.”

Qiong Xi'er’s lips curled upwards. “Because the people of the Wei family have not actually evacuated their ancestral planet.”

Qiong Xi'er was not hoping for the Wei family to be defeated. She did not like Wei Rong, but she was more afraid of Lu Yin winning the war and conquering Armament Weave.

Wei Rong wished for the whole universe to descend into chaos, as he believed that he had the ability and skill to navigate the rough waves and accomplish groundbreaking achievements. But from Qiong Xi'er’s perspective, Wei Rong was just throwing a tantrum as the Wei family did not have the strength to conquer the Outerverse, and he could not accomplish such a thing with just brains alone.

Lu Yin, on the other hand, was different. This person was truly dangerous, and he even had the Hall of Honor’s support. He had an amazing talent for cultivation and ruled with an iron fist. It seemed as though everything he had ever done had been in preparation to unite the Outerverse. As soon as he obtained a foothold in Armament Weave, he would possess a springboard that he could use to conquer the central weaves, and following that, Millions City would be in danger.

Qiong Xi’er had never trusted in the nonsense about the three unprovokable powers. The Neohuman Alliance had nearly seized control of Millions City already, and compared to the Neohuman Alliance, Lu Yin would not be any easier to deal with. In fact, he might actually prove to actually be more difficult.

Fortunately, Wei Rong had been reliable so far, and hopefully, he would be able to halt Lu Yin’s advance.

The 100,000 disciples of the Neo-Vestige Sect took a radiant-grade Aurora, which was much faster than the vessel carrying Lu Yin. They would enter Armament Weave after just a day’s worth of travel.

And at this point, an incident quickly put an end to the outcome that everyone had predicted.

On the Great Yu Empire’s Zenyu Star, plans were leaked from the Lu Office of Defense that revealed plans for invading the western weaves, and the one to propose the plan was En Ya.

This plan contained thousands of words, and the drafter’s firm determination to invade the western weaves clearly shone through.

When the plan was leaked, it shocked the universe, and it did not even take an hour to spread from the eastern weaves to the western weaves.

Countless people saw the leaked proposal online, and the ambitions of the Great Yu Empire were revealed.

The name “En Ya” also spread throughout the Outerverse, and it was naturally accompanied by her background. Everyone learned that she had formerly been stationed at Erudite Flowzone’s border warfront and that she had been Grand Marshal Shui Chuanxiao’s personal aide. The structure of the Great Eastern Alliance had also been drafted by her.

Lu Yin also saw the leaked plan that had been spread throughout the network. Xiao Ya informed him that their news outlet had also received a copy, but they had not dared to report on it. Still, many other news outlets had revealed everything, and the plan quickly became widely known.

Lu Yin wanted to stop it, but there was nothing that he could do about it. Unless he had control over the entire Outerverse and the network, there would be no way for him to stop this from spreading.

This plan actually didn’t even exist. Although Lu Yin did indeed have the intention of completely uniting the Outerverse some day, he had never drawn up a formal plan and neither had En Ya. This leaked plan had reportedly come from the Lu Office of Defense, but more importantly, it recorded their plans to target Shamrock Enterprises and Aurora Enterprises, which happened to be identical to what had happened to those two companies earlier.

Someone was using those previous events to frame Lu Yin.

Lu Yin immediately thought of Wei Rong.

Lu Yin accepted, and a voice spoke up. “Alliance Leader Lu, this is Yu Mu, Chairman of Shamrock Enterprises’ Outerverse Division.”

Lu Yin was surprised, as he had heard of Yu Mu as well. This man stood above even Hoffman and Shen Fu, and he held the greatest authority in Shamrock Enterprises within the entire Outerverse.

He had never thought that Shamrock Enterprises would contact him so quickly.

“Chairman Yu, it’s an honor to speak with you,” Lu Yin courteously greeted the man.

Yu Mu lowered his voice and suppressed his rage. “My Shamrock Enterprises has always stood above conflicts, and it seems that this has caused Alliance Leader Lu to underestimate us. I’ve heard that you want to invade the western weaves, and that your first step is to deal with my Shamrock Enterprises.”

Lu Yin hurriedly replied, “Chairman Yu is mistaken—that leaked plan is fake.”

“I will ascertain the truth myself. I will personally take a trip to Zenyu Star, and I will arrive in no more than five days, and Alliance Leader Lu, I hope that you will be on Zenyu Star yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for acting nasty. I know that you have the Hall of Honor’s support, but I can explicitly tell you that even the Hall of Honor needs to be wary of some people,” Yu Mu spoke loudly.

Lu Yin frowned. “Chairman Yu is thinking too much of himself. When I was a Limiteer, I wasn’t even afraid of Enlighters.”

“Ask Elder Lohar and see if he can take me,” Yu Mu said rudely before cutting the call short.

She asked in a disgruntled voice, “Your Highness, what should I say to you?”

“The plan is fake,” Lu Yin said.

She replied, “I know. It wouldn’t have been exposed if it was real, but you must still be careful. Shamrock Enterprises and Aurora Enterprises are colossal titans on different levels from the four great conglomerates.”

“How much do you know?” Lu Yin asked.

She replied, “It would be best if you asked the Hall of Honor that question, as I’m not too sure myself.”

Following that, many other people tried to get a hold of Lu Yin to try to understand what was going on, among them people like Meng Tianlong and Mu Nichang.

Lu Yin was pestered beyond his limits, and he did not answer the calls. Instead, he tried to call Elder Lohar. However, he was unable to get in contact with the elder.

Elder Lohar did not remain in Ironblood Weave all the time, and there were many places in the universe that were disconnected from the network.

After thinking about it, Lu Yin decided to try calling Wei Rong, as only he could set up such a scheme.

At that moment, Lu Yin received additional news from Xiao Ya: another plan had been discovered, and this one was known as the Western Weaves Integration Plan, and the author was reported to be Wei Rong. This plan had been found on the Wei family's ancestral planet.

When Lu Yin received this piece of news, he lowered his hand and decided to not call Wei Rong. At this point, not only had he cleared all of his doubts regarding Wei Rong, but Lu Yin was also absolutely certain that Wei Rong was the one behind the creation and leaking of these two plans.

Since both drafted plans had been falsified, it was not hard for the people targeted by the plans to confirm that they were fake given their capabilities. The ones who stood to profit the most from these fake plans were naturally the ones who had set them up. If Lu Yin was the one being framed, then Wei Rong would be the one to benefit as he would be able to use Shamrock Enterprises to deal with Lu Yin. However, once the truth was revealed, the Wei family would certainly face a calamity.

Now that Wei Rong had intentionally exposed this plan that also implicated him, it was no different from telling everyone that he was also being framed. Even though Shamrock Enterprises and Aurora Enterprises might not believe him, it would still lower the suspicions surrounding Wei Rong. With his level of caution, as long as Yu Mu and the others did not suppress Wei Rong through absolute strength, it would not be too realistic to expect them to discover the truth.

This was in line with Wei Rong’s methods, so there was no point in Lu Yin contacting his opponent at this time.

Lu Yin felt a deep chill; just how many escape routes had this person prepared? Lu Yin really had to make sure that he took care of Wei Rong this time around. When this war concluded, Lu Yin would ask Smoker to come out. Wei Rong was simply too dangerous and could not be left to roam free any longer.

“Your Highness, where should we go now?” Peach asked.

In a low voice, Lu Yin answered, “Return to Zenyu Star.”

It would take too long for a normal spacecraft to travel to Zenyu Star, so after another day of traveling, Lu Yin arrived at a bustling planet. After great difficulties, he managed to purchase a luxurious spacecraft that was five times as fast as his former vessel. Although it still could not compare to a radiant-grade Aurora, he still had four days to arrive before Yu Mu’s deadline, which was enough for him to make it to Zenyu Star.
