Star Odyssey

er, Yan Yan had only frozen the bottom half of the people in the palace.
Nobody, not even the Cruisers, were able to move a finger aside from the skinny leader.
 

Yan Yan was someone who even Old Gu De hadn’t been able to deal with, and Xueshan Auna had not been able to withstand Yan Yan’s powers either.
He was a powerhouse comparable to Aden, and there was no way that these people from Aegis could defeat him. 

Yan Yan had listened to Lu Yin’s warning, and since these people were good at playing dirty, he had been determined to immobilize them as quickly as possible.
This was the sort of task that Yan Yan excelled at. 

Multiple figures appeared in the sky, and they quickly surrounded the Greatsword Dynasty’s imperial palace. 

The lanky man glared at Yan Yan.
“Who are you? We are from Aegis!”

Yan Yan raised his head.
“I’m Yan Yan, the captain of the Great Yu Empire’s Seventh Imperial Squadron.”

The skinny man’s eyes narrowed.
He had already expected this to happen.
The Great Yu Empire would definitely take action once Aegis gained control of Northcastle Weave, but he hadn’t expected them to retaliate so quickly. 

“Aegis was hired by the Greatsword Dynasty to get rid of the Second Grade Hall.
What does the Great Yu Empire want?” the lanky man asked sternly. 

Yan Yan answered in a cold voice, “We want to arrest the criminal, Ding Xing, for the crime of attacking our cultivators.”

The lanky man quickly responded, “Alright, you can take him away.”

Ding Xing shouted, “Captain Yan Yan, I have a deal with the Royal Regent, and he promised me that the Great Yu Empire would help reinstate the Greatsword Dynasty.
Captain Yan Yan, please fulfill that promise!”

The tall, thin man became furious, and he lashed out at Ding Xing, but he was stopped by a wave of frost. 

Yan Yan glared at the man.
“Ding Xing’s crime will be judged by the Great Yu Empire.
The Royal Regent has ordered that whenever Ding Xing calls for the Great Yu Empire’s aid, we must provide assistance according to their agreement.
Aegis can leave now.” 

The thin man’s brows rose.
“Captain Yan Yan, you can’t conduct business like this.
Aegis has already chased away the members of the Second Grade Hall, so isn’t it too late for you to try to help them now?” 

Ding Xing piped up anxiously before Yan Yan could even answer.
“I made a deal with the Royal Regent to reinstate the Greatsword Dynasty! That’s not just limited to chasing away the Second Grade Hall.
Anyone who dares to attack the Greatsword Dynasty will be treated as an enemy.” 

The lanky man was furious, and he glared at Ding Xing.
“You’re asking to die!”

Ding Xing wasn’t scared of death; the only thing that mattered to him now was the survival of the Greatsword Dynasty.
Aegis clearly wanted to take over the Greatsword Dynasty, but Ding Xing would never let that happen.
He knelt down as he faced Yan Yan.
“Captain Yan Yan, please help the Greatsword Dynasty chase away the members of Aegis.
I will be eternally grateful.” 

Yan Yan looked over at the lanky man.
“You also heard him.
Leave.”

Lu Yin had told Yan Yan that he wasn’t to fight against the people from Aegis if he could help it, as Lu Yin didn’t want to become enemies with them. 

The lanky man had realized how powerful Yan Yan was, and just his frost energy alone was enough to make the leader of Aegis’s forces anxious.
There weren’t many experts in the Seventh Squadron, but their captain was intimidating enough already.
How could there be such an overwhelming expert in the Great Yu Empire? 

“Fine, Captain Yan Yan.
Aegis will remember today’s events, so please inform the Royal Regent of our stance.
I hope that he can handle the consequences.” He then leaped into the sky and quickly flew away. 

Yan Yan melted his ice, and the other people from Aegis quietly left in an orderly fashion. 

Yan Yan watched them all leave in surprise.
These people were from Aegis, the most powerful security and mercenary company in the Outerverse.
The Great Yu Empire had definitely made some powerful enemies this day. 

Aegis wasn’t some remnant of a major Innerverse power that had been stranded in the Outerverse.
Those forces didn’t have a strong foundation in the Outerverse and were only able to survive by relying on their Enlighter realm powerhouses.
If anything happened to their Enlighter powerhouses, they would be doomed and unable to accomplish much of anything.
However, Aegis was different.
They had an extremely strong foundation in the Outerverse and were also familiar with many of the underworld powers.
If they made a move, then they would definitely be able to cause much more trouble than a single Enlighter powerhouse. 

After Aegis left, Ding Xing expressed his gratitude to Yan Yan.
“Thank you for your help on behalf of the entire Greatsword Dynasty, Captain Yan Yan.” 

Yan Yan coldly answered, “His Highness has already verified your crime.”

Ding Xing bitterly responded, “I understand, and I will definitely admit to my guilt.”

“Where’s the treasury?” Yan Yan asked.

Ding Xing said, “I will go bring it now.”

The youth fearfully looked up at Yan Yan from the crowd.
He was a prince from the Northcastle Weave, but he was so terrified at this moment that he didn’t even have the courage to stand up.
The Greatsword Dynasty had been completely controlled by the Second Grade Hall for nearly two years, and the royal family had lost all of its dignity. 

Although the past few emperors of the Greatsword Dynasty had been useless, they had still maintained the tradition of taking care of their national treasury.

The cosmological location of the Greatsword Dynasty was unique, as it was situated right next to the Astral Wilderness.
The previous emperors of the dynasty had possessed great foresight, knowing that their empire would encounter troubles in future.
This was where the treasury came into play.
