Star Odyssey

Chapter 1081: Family

The members of the Dayking clan gathered around Lu Yin in all directions, each one with an apprehensive expression. They had stopped the people of the Nightking clan from interfering in Lu Yin’s fight with Nightking Zhenwu, so the people from the Dayking clan were all wondering what the future would bring them.

Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin with pleading eyes. “Can you please save my Dayking bloodline?”

Lu Yin looked up into the sky. “That should be possible.”

Above Nightking Planet, Nightking Dijiang’s expression remained dark, but he also seemed to be terrifyingly calm. There was an overpowering chill in his eyes whenever he looked at anyone. “Gentlemen, the decisive battle has reached a conclusion, and my Daynight clan must tend to Nightking Planet. Thus, I won’t be seeing you off.”

Highsage Shenwei looked over at Highsage Leon.

Highsage Leon spoke up. “We want to take the Dayking bloodline away.”

Nightking Dijiang’s eyes went wide, and a boundless aura shot towards the two other men. “Highsage Leon, don’t go overboard! The Dayking bloodline is a branch of my Daynight clan, and even if we have our own conflicts, those are internal matters and are none of your business!”

Highsage Shenwei also felt that Highsage Leon had gone overboard. “Junior, you can’t bully other people like this.”

Highsage Leon pointed down at Zhuo Daynight on Nightking Planet as he said to Highsage Shenwei, “Senior, that girl might become our family in the future.”

Highsage Shenwei was lost.

Highsage Leon pointed at Lu Yin and then at Zhuo Daynight. “Senior, you’re smart; do you get it now?”

Highsage Shenwei puffed up his chest, suddenly full of confidence. “I got it.”

Highsage Leon then looked at Nightking Dijiang in a provocative manner. “We want to take the Dayking clan away, so just tell us if you agree or not. If you don’t, then I’ll give you a chance with a duel.”

Nightking Dijiang stared at Highsage Leon. “A duel with you?”

Highsage Leon sneered. “You’ll duel both of us.”

Nightking Dijiang immedaitely became furious. “Highsage Leon, don’t go overboard!”

Highsage Leon shouted back even louder, “Nightking Dijiang, don’t you go overboard!”

Everything fell silent for a while as everyone stared at the two powerhouses. Highsage Shenwei felt that he and Highsage Leon were the ones in the wrong and that they were behaving somewhat unforgivably. However, when Highsage Shenwei saw Highsage Leon’s indignant expression, the man felt that the Nightking clan was indeed too much and that they must have done something to upset his junior this badly.

“Nightking Dijiang, my Eversky Island wants to take the members of the Dayking bloodline away, so give us your answer,” Highsage Shenwei spoke up.

Nightking Dijiang clenched his fists, as he had never imagined that, after waking up this time, he would encounter such a calamity. He had never suffered such a humiliation ever since he had become the patriarch of the Daynight clan, and how many years had that been?

He looked down at Nightking Planet with great reluctance, and looked at Zhuo Daynight who had a head of white hair. He then looked at Lu Yin, standing beside her with an unyielding gaze. Then, the patriarch looked at the numerous indignant faces of the Nightking clan as well as the numb faces of the Dayking people. Finally, he sighed. “Go on, take them all.”

Down on Nightking Planet, Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that someone would arrive to reinforce the Daynight clan. Fortunately, the Daynight clan did not have the best reputation in the Innerverse; generally, the more tyrannical someone was, the less people would want to help them when they encountered a calamity. If the Daynight clan had dared to fight against Leon’s Armada a second time, then there would be severe casualties on both sides. As a result, the Daynight clan might even be challenged by the other Innerverse powers, and it would be difficult to estimate their final losses.

Nightking Zhenwu had wanted to exterminate the Dayking bloodline. Whether or not the Dayking bloodline survived was not actually one of Nightking Dijiang’s priorities, but he could not simply toss the Nightking aside.

However, on this day, due to Highsage Shenwei’s suppression, Nightking Dijiang gave in.

However, the matters of this day would not be concluded this simply. No matter if it was revenge for Nightking Zhenwu or for the humiliation of having the Dayking bloodline being taken away, all of the blame fell onto Lu Yin.

Nightking Dijiang glared coldly at Lu Yin; this kid had to die.

Lu Yin looked up, and for the first time, he exchanged glances with Nightking Dijiang. As he looked at the powerhouse, Lu Yin maintained a calm expression without any hint of fear. So what if this old man was an expert with a power level greater than 800,000? When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, Lu Yin had even fought against powerhouses with power levels in the millions.

Unfortunately, the jade talisman that Mister Mu had given Lu Yin had shattered when it had protected him from that finger. Otherwise, he could simply use his Summon Master technique, and the Daynight clan would be finished.

Highsage Leon descended to Nightking Planet, landing in front of Lu Yin and Zhuo Daynight. He then used a great deal of strength to pat Lu Yin’s shoulder. “Good job, kid. You didn’t throw away Leon’s Armada’s face! Hahaha.”

This was Lu Yin’s first time meeting Highsage Leon in person, but he would always remember what Uncle Reuben had once said. Highsage Leon’s exact words had been, ‘Kid, you can do whatever you want and offend whoever you want. If anyone tries to bully you, I’ll back you up. Remember, I got your back.’

Although the words had been crude, they had given Lu Yin a great deal of comfort, as he had felt protected.

He seldom experienced such a feeling, but the Pirate King, Highsage Leon, had given Lu Yin such comfort.

“Thank you,” Lu Yin sincerely replied.

Before Lu Yin could even finish speaking, Highsage Leon firmly patted him on the shoulder once again, almost shoving Lu Yin underground. “Why are you being so polite? You belong with me, so I won’t let off whoever dares to bully you. This Daynight clan is an example.”

“Be more gentle! Little Yin is injured and almost fell apart from your pat,” a beautiful woman coldly scolded as she appeared in the distance. Although her tone seemed a bit forceful, she still looked at Lu Yin with a tender gaze.

Lu Yin was confused. “And you are?”

The stunning woman grew angry, took out a cigarette, and put it to her lips. “Little Yin, do you need a beating?”

Lu Yin was petrified. “B- B- Big Sis?”

“What sort of expression is that?” Big Sis slapped him, and she nearly sent Lu Yin flying.

This time, Highsage Leon was rendered speechless. “Be more gentle.”

Zhuo Daynight supported Lu Yin, and cast a doubtful look at the other two people, unsure of their relationship with Lu Yin.

At that moment, the void tore open, and one figure after another appeared.

There was a muscular, five-meter tall man whose nose was more than half a meter long.

After him came a beautiful woman with swirls drawn across her body, and there was another strange person who seemed to be made entirely from stones.

There was even a merman covered with scales. Seven people had appeared, which made for nine when Big Sis and Highsage Leon were included.

These were the strongest people in Leon’s Armada.

The Pirate King, Highsage Leon, had seven regiment captains who were his subordinates and a reserve captain, Big Sis.

If the people from the Innerverse and Outerverse could see what was happening on Nightking Planet right now, they would definitely all be stunned. The most powerful pirates from the Cosmic Sea had just appeared, and these people had millions upon millions of pirates under their command.

Once, the Blackbeard Pirates had been a group that Lu Yin did not dare to provoke, but they could be easily swatted dead by any single person present.

The existence of these people was the basis behind Highsage Leon’s title of Pirate King, and it was also what had created the most powerful one of the Cosmic Sea’s Four Pirate Crews, Leon’s Armada.

Leon’s Armada was enough to take on the Daynight clan all by itself, and they were the source of Lu Yin’s confidence.

He was someone with backing.

Big Sis began introducing the captains to Lu Yin, and Lu Yin greeted them one by one.

“This person is the captain of one of Leon’s Armada’s seven great regiments. He’s the captain of the Charging Elephants Regiment, the Elephant King,” Big Sis introduced.

Lu Yin greeted the man, and he could not help but look at the Elephant King’s nose curiously.

“This is another regiment captain. She’s the captain of the Quickstream Regiment, Sister Fei,” Big Sis continued.

Lu Yin greeted the woman and saw water flowing and revolving around Sister Fei’s body. This woman had a terrifying number of rune lines, as her power level was clearly 300,000 at the very least.

“This is another member of the seven regiments’ captains. He’s the captain of the Cross Regiment, Rocky,” Big Sis introduced.

Lu Yin’s brows rose up; what a random name. Also, the man’s appearance was very unusual, as he looked like nothing more than a simple piece of rock.

“This is the Mermen Regiment Captain, Brother Hao,” Big Sis introduced.

Lu Yin greeted the man with a respectful expression. He could not show any sign of disrespect to these people who hailed from the variant human races, as that would cause them to become mortal enemies with him, as these people definitely had very high self-esteem.

“This is also one of the captains of the seven regiments, the Ghost Doctor Regiment Captain, Ghost Doc,” Big Sis introduced. This time, there was a bit of nervousness in her voice, and she did not sound as casual as before.

Lu Yin looked at Ghost Doc.

Ghost Doc had a hunched over body and an ugly face. It was impossible to determine his age, and he snickered when he saw Lu Yin. “Kid, your injuries were cured by me.”

Lu Yin was confused. “What injuries?”

Ghost Doc wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Big Sis, who pointed at another man within the group who was occasionally making poses. She sounded like she was in a bad mood as she said, “That- that guy is also a regiment captain, but it’s fine if you just call him Kidney.”

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide. Kidney?

The man was irritated. “What Kidney? Call me Handsome! I’m the captain of the Handsome Regiment.”

Lu Yin sighed; he was a shameless person, especially since his looks were not anywhere near being called handsome.

Finally, Big Sis grew solemn as she introduced the last person to Lu Yin. “This is the Lightning Sword Regiment Captain, Liu Feng.”

Lu Yin’s eyes trembled, and he looked at the nearby man who was holding a sword. This person was an Envoy.

Lu Yin hurriedly greeted the swordsman.

Liu Feng looked at Lu Yin. “You’ve fought against the Thirteen Swords. What’s your impression?”

Lu Yin thought about it. “They’re very powerful, and each sword is completely unique.”

Liu Feng calmly commented, “Everyone uses the Thirteen Swords differently, but there’s one shared point between all its users: the final sword cannot be evaded, and neither can it be blocked.”

Lu Yin was astonished. “Then how should I deal with it?”

Liu Feng did not reply and simply turned to look elsewhere.

Lu Yin was speechless. Who were all these people? They were all freaks!

Highsage Leon grinned and patted Lu Yin’s shoulder once again. Lu Yin could only suffer through the pain and straighten himself out afterwards with great difficulty.

“What needed to be dealt with has been resolved. This battle was quite refreshing and a lot of fun!”

Lu Yin smiled bitterly. This incident should have led to numerous deaths, and he still did not know how the people from the Outerverse had fared against Blazing Mist Flowzone.

“Right! Kid, let me introduce you to someone,” Highsage Leon barked. The void then tore open as Highsage Shenwei stepped out next to Highsage Leon.

Lu Yin quickly bowed. “Junior Lu Yin thanks Senior for rescuing me.”

Highsage Leon laughed. “There’s no need for such courtesies! He’s my senior, and we’re family. Definitely family, hahaha.”

Highsage Shenwei also seemed very happy as he looked at Lu Yin with great appreciation. “Child from the Fifth Mainland’s youth, you’re most impressive. Even when compared to those people from the Neoverse, you can’t be considered inferior to them. Impressive.”

Lu Yin remained humble. “I was fortunate enough to obtain some lucky opportunities. Senior is overpraising me.”

Highsage Shenwei looked at Highsage Leon with a strange face. “Why does he speak in such a refined manner? Isn’t he your son?”

Lu Yin was stunned.

The others were also dumbfounded.

Big Sis blew out a cloud of smoke. “Of course not! Little Yin is too handsome.”

The captains of the seven regiments all had bizarre expressions, and they did their best to stifle their amusement.

Highsage Leon was initially stunned by Highsage Shenwei’s sentence, but then he was destroyed by Big Sis’s remark. He felt a little lost, and was unsure who to answer first.

“What? Is he not your son? Why else would you place so much importance on him? You even brought over Leon’s Armada and all these other pirates to create this huge battle that covered the entire Daynight Flowzone.” Highsage Shenwei was surprised.

Highsage Leon answered, “He’s not my son, but he’s better than a son.”

Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat, as these words from Highsage Leon warmed his entire body, much like the promise that he had made before. This was Lu Yin’s first time meeting these people, but they acted like his family members, and the way that he looked at Highsage Leon had also changed.

Highsage Shenwei nodded. “Got it, an illegitimate child.”

Lu Yin was rendered utterly speechless.
