Star Odyssey

f eyes sat atop an ancient stone slab with rudimentary writing etched on it whereas the eyes that Lu Yin had picked up on Earth were placed inside a smirking skull. 

“Seventh Bro, don’t overthink things.
Many things will slowly vanish with the passing of time, and there’s no need to get worked up over ancient matters like this.” 

Lu Yin replied, “Monkey, you should know about the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands.”

The monkey was stumped.
“I don’t know much, but in some powerhouses’ journals, I’ve seen some references to the fifth and the sixth.
However, these two terms are pretty common, so I didn’t pay any attention to them.” 

“Is that so,” Lu Yin casually replied, as he had not forgotten the monkey’s words back in Ironblood Weave.
During the fight with the Shadowbeast, the Ghost Monkey had mentioned that this sky was false.
This stupid monkey definitely knew something, but he was not willing to speak about it. 

Lu Yin was glad that he had always screened the monkey off every time he rolled his die and not allowed the astral beast to discover his greatest secret.
There must be some reason why the stupid monkey was still concealing certain matters from Lu Yin.
If the two of them were truly joined in life or death, then there would be no need to conceal such things. 

It seemed like he needed to find a way to gain more knowledge about tamed beasts. 

As for the stone slab, Lu Yin stored it away, as there was indeed no need to consider it too deeply for the moment.
With the endless passage of time, even the history of the buildings in the centipede ’s body had disappeared, let alone that of a simple stone slab. 

Agreeing to Luke Shamus’s conditions had merely been Lu Yin recruiting a talented person who would also bring benefits to the alliance in the future. 

Beep beep beep beep!

A soft sound came from his gadget, and the screen soon changed to show the bespectacled Mistchild.
“Your Highness, I found it.” 

“That was fast.” Lu Yin was stunned. 

She replied, “In the Outerverse, Hunters receive quite a bit of attention, and there are incredibly few of them in each weave, so it’s easy to discover who’s not present in a specific time frame.
From there, it’s easy to follow the clues back.” She paused for a moment before continuing on, saying, “Of the five Hunters that attacked you, one is from Flaxen Weave, one is from Adonis Weave, one is from Darkmist Weave, and the other two can be considered non-affiliated as they have no foundation.”

“Flaxen Weave, Adonis Weave, and Darkmist Weave?” Lu Yin’s eyes flickered.

“Yes.
Their backers are Flaxen Weave’s Tri-Banner Federation, Adonis Weave’s Darkstar Gorge, and Darkmist Weave’s Nine Allied Nations.
They were all contacted by someone from your Great Yu Empire, and the person who led them is coincidentally the person who you mentioned to me before,” the bespectacled Mistchild smiled. 

Lu Yin’s brows lifted.
“Orchid Planet’s parliament chairman, Logan?”

“Exactly,” she replied. 

Lu Yin’s expression turned cold.
He knew that the followers of the Yushan bloodline had always wanted to overthrow him, but he had never thought that they would be so radical to the extent of hiring five Hunters.
This Logan was considerably capable as well. 

“Actually, Logan only managed to gather three Hunters, as the Tri-Banner Federation and Darkstar Gorge went of their own volition.
So it really was a combined operation.” 

Lu Yin nodded.
“I got it.
Thanks for the hard work.” 

She smiled sweetly.
“It wasn’t hard.
Please inform me if there’s anything else, Your Highness.”

“Logan must not have done this alone.
Do you know who his partners were?”

“I’ve already looked into this, and they are all followers of your Great Yu Empire’s Yushan bloodline.
These people paid a considerable price for the Hunters.”

“Send me a list of all their names.”

“Alright.”

Lu Yin disconnected and immediately contacted Phantom Thorn, who was also Mafioso Planet’s Hunter Mistchild.
Lu Yin had spared his life and then forced the man to temporarily take on the position of the Second Imperial Squadron’s captain as well as train qualified individuals in espionage and intelligence skills.
“I ordered you to monitor Logan, but he has already sent someone to kill me.
Your supervision is completely useless.” 

Phantom Thorn bowed his head and said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, Logan has been behaving normally over the recent days.
It’s either not him, or he planned this before I tried to assassinate you.
He could not have planned anything during this time that I’ve been watching him.” 

“Look into this, and hurry.
Use whatever methods you can,” Lu Yin commanded.

“Understood.”

The second possibility seemed more likely, as the Melder Mistchild would not lie to Lu Yin about such a small matter.

After only half a day, Phantom Thorn contacted Lu Yin once again.
“My apologies, Your Highness.
This was due to a lapse in my efforts.” 

“What are you talking about?” Lu Yin asked.

“The Logan that we tried to assassinate back then was a fake,” Phantom Thorn informed Lu Yin in a deep voice.

Lu Yin was stunned.
“He has a doppelganger?”

“Yes.
He himself has always been hiding in the dark to plan, and he often swaps places with his double.
This time, we quickly acted to capture him, and we were fortunate that it was actually him.
He has confessed to everything.” 

Lu Yin had not thought that Logan would have used such methods, to the point where even Phantom Thorn had been hoodwinked.
Since this was the case, then Logan must have been using a double for quite some time, and he must have also been constantly changing places with the double, which was rather smart.
Unfortunately, Logan’s luck was not that great; otherwise, even if Phantom Thorn acted again, he would have been able to escape. 

Capturing Logan was akin to alarming the other supporters of the Yushan bloodline.
Lu Yin ordered the Sixth and Ninth Squadrons to act, and they quickly captured everyone on the list that Lu Yin had received from the bespectacled Mistchild.
These people had all played a part in the assassination attempt on Lu Yin. 

There were eight names on the list, and they were all authoritative figures in various areas of the Great Yu Empire, and three were even a part of the military who led soldiers.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had established the Lu Office of Defense and Lu Ministry of Administration to redistribute and supervise the troops, and he had also sent out heavyweights like Sigmund Mathers and Hill Auna to oversee the troops.
Otherwise, capturing these people would absolutely have led to a rebellion. 

When Lu Yin returned to Zenyu Star, everyone on the list had already been captured and imprisoned.

Lu Yin planned to completely eliminate all of these participants, but just as he returned to King Zishan’s palace, he ran into Wendy Yushan.
