Chapter 1227: Geoffrey
In an instant, everyone was skewered through, and the army was pushed back out of the spatial crack and into the regular universe by the ice spear. Finally, the spear shattered, and a cold air spread out, freezing Monster Chi along with everyone else.
Everyone in the area from the Blaze Realm, including the sylvan dragon clan and the Ross Empire, stared as Monster Chi and the other experts became ice sculptures. They looked like a work of art, but they were actually already dead.
In the Royal Frost Continent, Leader Hong collapsed to his knees as the chill continued to wreak havoc inside his body while the poison left him in agony. He stared at Lu Yin with hatred burning in his eyes.
Long Yi was also affected by the Frost Emperor’s cold, so he quickly pulled away. "Emperor Luo, let’s retreat."
Emperor Luo grabbed hold of Leader Hong and then raced towards the void crack.
This time, the Frost Emperor did not give chase, as he had also been injured. Not a single one of the four Envoys were uninjured, but the one in the worst condition was definitely Leader Hong, who was in terrible shape.
Lu Yin knelt down, panting heavily. He put his universal armor away and then sat down on the ground while staring up at the spatial tear. His figure was still dirty, and there was even some blood smeared on the corners of his eyes.
The Frost Emperor landed next to Lu Yin and stared at the youth in amazement. "Alliance Leader Lu, you’re actually able to survive several attacks from an Envoy. That is incredibly impressive."
Lu Yin coughed twice. "It would have been even better if Senior had been able to completely hold those three back."
The Frost Emperor apologized. "I was also injured. As you predicted, they used a power vessel at the very beginning. If not for the fact that I was the one fighting them and that I also had a powerful item, then they might not have been stopped. Fortunately, Alliance Leader Lu didn\'t suffer too badly. The thought of what could have happened greatly disturbs me."
Lu Yin raised three fingers. "Three strikes. I endured three strikes, and Senior must remember that everything was done for your Royal Frost Continent."
The Frost Emperor nodded. "Don’t worry about such things."
"By the way, were the other two also injured?" Lu Yin asked. At the moment, this was his greatest concern.
The Frost Emperor replied, "Of course. Although I was also injured, their bodies have been afflicted with cold energy, and it will take them at least half a year to remove it. Also, if they don’t deal with it quickly, then it will only grow worse. Holding off for a single day can delay the recovery by several months, which is something that they cannot tolerate."
Lu Yin\'s eyes lit up. That was good—no, excellent. "Why isn\'t Senior going back to blocking the cold air from leaking out? Leader Hong countered the cold that had already leaked out onto the continent, but more of the cold air is coming out from beneath the sourcebox array."
The Frost Emperor simply asked, "Do you need to return to the city to recover?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
The Frost Emperor continued, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Lu, for showing such great kindness to my Royal Frost Continent. We will absolutely repay you."
After speaking, the man leaped up and turned towards the leak in the seal to continue blocking off the cold air.
After Leader Hong\'s barrage of flaming attacks, the landscape of the Royal Frost Continent had been completely changed, but everything was quickly re-freezing due to the cold air, and snow was once again falling from the sky.
They had gained a month of leeway, as the battle with Leader Hong and the others had essentially reset the clock. If Geoffrey failed to arrive within a month, then Subzero City would be doomed.
More than half a month had passed since Lu Yin had first reached out to Geoffrey, so there should be enough time.
Upon thinking of this, Lu Yin opened his gadget. "Assemble the Allied Force and have them be ready to move out against the Blaze Realm at any given moment."
"The Blaze Realm? Chesspiece Bro, the Blaze Realm is not some power that we can easily deal with, and that’s not even considering how close they are to the sylvan dragon clan and the Ross Empire. It’s not very realistic for us to attack the Blaze Realm with our current strength without any support from higher powers," Wang Wen said.
Lu Yin replied, "Leader Hong has already been seriously injured, so follow my orders."
"Leader Hong’s been seriously injured? How bad?" Wang Wen was overjoyed.
Lu Yin smiled and said. "Worse than you could ever imagine."
"Got it." Wang Wen smiled.
In Blazing Mist Flowzone, just outside the spatial tear near Planet Coo, Emperor Luo raced out into outer space, dragging Leader Hong along with him. Emperor Luo then tossed Leader Hong into the Blaze Realm’s battleship before racing over towards the Ross Empire’s forces.
Long Yi glanced over at the Blaze Realm’s battleship. His eyes flashed for a moment, but then he flew towards the sylvan dragon clan.
Many of the Blaze Realm’s cultivators were not even able to react when they heard Leader Hong’s orders. "Return to the Blaze Realm."
"Realm Master, Elder Si and the others were all frozen," someone reported.
Leader Hong glanced over to see Monster Chi, Si Penghai, and the others who had been frozen to death all floating through space. Leader Hong gritted his teeth and repeated, "Return to the Blaze Realm."
"Yes, sir."
Before long, no one could be seen anywhere near Planet Coo, and occasionally, only a bit of cold air would blow out from the spatial cracks and sweep through the nearby space.
Inside the Blaze Realm’s battleship, Leader Hong continued to cough up blood. He had taken a great number of antidotes before finally managing to reduce the potency of the poison, but the cold energy that had seeped into his body proved far more difficult to resolve. Given Leader Hong’s current physical state, he would need at least a hundred years to resolve the cold energy.
"It\'s a pity that I didn\'t bring the Karmic Flames. If I had, then I wouldn’t have been defeated! Lu Yin, Frost Emperor, I’ll avenge this humiliation sooner or later!" As Leader Hong gritted his teeth, the cold air froze the surface of his body, and he coughed up more blood. This time, the blood froze the moment it exited his body, and it shattered on the floor.
Elsewhere, Long Yi had returned to his form as a huge sylvan dragon as he flew through outer space. A trail of cold energy was left in his wake, and all of the other sylvan dragons kept their distance. None of them dared to draw close, as they would freeze if they even brushed by this cold energy.
In the Ross Empire’s battleship, Emperor Luo placed his body within a sealed machine, and his body was then continuously dismantled. The machine froze over from time to time, but it quickly thawed once more.
The Frost Emperor\'s strength was greater than the other three Envoys combined, and his cold energy was not something that they could easily suppress.
"Lu Yin is actually on the Royal Frost Continent. It seems that he joined forces with them and used the rumor of a secret technique as bait to lure the three of us over after making many preparations in advance. How vicious." Emperor Luo\'s voice rang out nonstop, echoing through the chamber as he analyzed various things.
After a while, he ordered, "Release the Royal Frost Continent’s location and all of the information regarding the rumors of them hiding a secret technique. If they want to play, then we’ll play big."
…
At the same moment, in the Outerverse, battleships gathered as armies amassed. Although the scale was huge, because these plans and arrangements had all been made a long time ago and everyone was already aware of their tasks, no information regarding the plan was leaked.
Wei Rong had not expected to enact this plan so soon. Leader Hong had been hit hard, and a once in a lifetime opportunity was currently in front of them. However, no matter how injured an Envoy might be, they were still an Envoy, and how could such a powerhouse be easy to deal with? On top of that, the Blaze Realm had been around for many years, and it was impossible for them not to have some hidden cards. No one knew just how much they had hidden.
Then, Wei Rong suddenly remembered a particular person: Smoker.
Ever since Lu Yin had forced Tian Shao out of the Outerverse, Smoker had disappeared, which was according to Lu Yin’s plan. He had specifically ordered Smoker to disappear, and Wei Rong did not know where Smoker had gone.
As far as familiarity with the Blaze Realm was concerned, if Smoker claimed to be second, then no one would claim to be first. Not even the high-level Blaze Realm natives knew as much about the Blaze Realm as Smoker. He had tried to assassinate Leader Hong more than once, and during Lu Yin’s plan to stir up chaos in Daynight Flowzone, Smoker had once again attacked Leader Hong.
Lu Yin had Smoker, Lilyrose, the Gasfire Alliance, many other hidden forces, and the entire Great Eastern Alliance supporting him. Wei Rong knew that the Blaze Realm was dangerous, but Lu Yin was the type of person to ensure success whenever he attempted something.
His actions against Daynight Flowzone were a perfect example; although most of the credit could be attributed to Leon’s Armada, Lu Yin had been the driving force as well as the mastermind behind the entire scheme.
The truth was that dealing with the Blaze Realm was not nearly as difficult as dealing with the Daynight clan.
Upon thinking of this, Wei Rong began looking forward to watching this next plan unfold.
Word of what had happened in Blazing Mist Flowzone quickly spread, but without any information regarding Leader Hong and the other two Envoys’ injuries. Instead, there was only word of the Royal Frost Continent’s location and its supposed secret technique, and this news stirred many of the Innerverse powers to move.
A few days after the sensational incident in Blazing Mist Flowzone, Geoffrey woke up on Planet Hydrotink in Frostwave Weave.
The first thing that the skinny old man did upon waking up was to have a drink and force Saul to accompany him.
Saul was helpless, but he managed to show Geoffrey the conversation that he had had with Lu Yin through Geoffrey’s own gadget.
Geoffrey was confused for a few moments, and then he patted his head. "How long was I out?"
"Almost a month," Saul said.
Geoffrey heaved a sigh of relief. "It\'s okay then. It\'s not too late."
After speaking, he got up and moved to leave, but then he suddenly remembered something and turned back around to pat Saul on the shoulder. “Work hard, and you’ll be the next president."
Saul\'s bones were almost shattered by the little old man.
As Saul watched Geoffrey leave, Saul felt quite bitter. If he had known how things would turn out, he would have never tried to scheme his way into obtaining True Insight. If he had never made that attempt, then his status might have already risen to the point of receiving some pages of True Insight long ago.
After everything that he had experienced, it could be said that Saul had let go of some of his resentment. He also knew that it would not be easy for him to become the president of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, as it was impossible for people to forget about his previous actions.
Of course, he still held out for another hope, which was Lu Yin.
Upon thinking of Lu Yin, Saul grew more hopeful. He had not expected Lu Yin to be so capable as to become a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker at such a young age. It was an amazing accomplishment.
In Saul’s mind, there were very few Lockbreakers who could reach such a high level of skill at such a young age. Anyone with that level of accomplishments who did not die prematurely was guaranteed to reach the highest levels of the Lockbreaker Society in the future, so Saul had already placed his future in Lu Yin’s hands.
A few days later, on the Royal Frost Continent, Lu Yin was chatting with the Frost Emperor, as there were some questions that he wished to ask the Envoy, when Geoffrey finally arrived.
"It\'s easy to get sick if you visit such a cold place while still drunk." Geoffrey looked at the Frost Emperor off in the distance and smiled with his hands clasped behind his back.
The Frost Emperor was overjoyed upon seeing Geoffrey’s arrival. The Frost Emperor had wandered the universe before, and at that time, Geoffrey had already been a famous Lockbreaker as well as an Array Master. Seeing Geoffrey before him, the Frost Emperor hurriedly greeted the older man, "Senior Geoffrey, this junior greets you."
Lu Yin jumped up and flew into the air. "Junior Lu Yin greets Senior."
Geoffrey nodded. He appraised the Frost Emperor and was surprised by what he saw. "So this tiny continent in a pocket dimension has such a strong expert?"
The Frost Emperor respectfully replied, "In front of someone like Senior, how could this junior dare to call himself strong?"
Geoffrey laughed and looked over at Lu Yin. "Little guy, although this is the first time we’re actually meeting, I’ve already watched a lot of your videos."
Lu Yin responded, "This junior acted recklessly in the past, so if I did anything to upset Senior, then please forgive my actions."
Geoffrey smiled and said, "It doesn\'t matter, child. Your goals and actions are generally along the correct path, and they’ve helped the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society. Honestly, Xiu Ming, Shang Yang, and I are all looking forward to your future. Your generation will eventually take control of the society."
Lu Yin quickly and respectfully replied, "Thank you for your praise, Senior."
Geoffrey nodded. He then looked up and glanced across the entire Royal Frost Continent.
The Frost Emperor and Lu Yin did not dare to make any sound, and they remained silently floating in the air.
After a while, Geoffrey was startled by something. His eyes went wide, and then he suddenly disappeared.
Not even the Frost Emperor was able to see how Geoffrey had vanished, as there was too great of a difference in their strength.
The Frost Emperor had believed that Geoffrey was merely an excellent Lockbreaker, but this action forced him to realize that Geoffrey might actually be much stronger than what he had originally believed.
