Chapter 74

At this moment, an old-looking man stepped out, "Your Majesty, this old minister has a question, I wonder if it is appropriate to ask."

Emperor Buxi Yushan smiled and said, "Feel free to speak in the court."

"The Zishan clan once had a marriage alliance with the royal family. I wonder if this agreement is still in effect today?" the man asked loudly.

Everyone looked up at Emperor Buxi Yushan.

At this moment, even the captains of the thirteen royal teams and the distracted Duke Yushan looked at Emperor Buxi Yushan.

Emperor Buxi Yushan narrowed his eyes. This question was difficult to answer. Denying it would undermine the royal dignity, but acknowledging it was something he could not do. Currently, the only princess available for marriage in the royal family is Princess Wendi Yushan, the youngest princess, who is less than thirty years old.

No one could decide on Princess Wendi Yushan's marriage because she is not an ordinary princess. She is a disciple of the Inner Universe's Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, and more terrifyingly, she ranks in the top twenty of the Star War List, one of the few super-strong individuals in the outer universe who can enter the top ranks of the Star War List. She is the pride of the Canglan Territory and the outer universe, known as the second Buxi Yushan.

In terms of status, looking across the outer universe, even Buxi Yushan cannot compare to the current Wendi Yushan, let alone decide on her marriage. It's not that he is unwilling, but that he lacks the ability.

Buxi Yushan suddenly started coughing violently. Immediately, several medical personnel rushed out to inject him with medication. After a while, his coughing subsided significantly. "Order, the court session is temporarily suspended. We will resume when Lu Yin arrives."

The Perseverance slowly landed at the Zhenyu Star space station. As beams of light descended, Lu Yin and the others finally set foot on the ground of Zhenyu Star.

Looking around, the scene was bustling with advanced technology applied to life. Bridges made of unknown metals connected the entire city, and in the sky, flying vehicles left trails of white lines, disappearing in an instant.

Lu Yin stretched lazily, feeling the gravity of Zhenyu Star, which was similar to Earth's. The air was very fresh, and the star energy was much more abundant than on Earth.

Zhenyu Star was ten thousand times larger than Earth. On this vast continent, countless people and strange races lived.

Xu San stared blankly at the surroundings. This was the alien civilization that monitored Earth. Whether in terms of technology or cultivation, it was incomparable to Earth, with no basis for comparison.

Zhang Ding Tian, Bai Xue, and Shi Wu Zhan were very calm. They had seen the library's introductions to various technological civilizations and were not surprised. On the contrary, Zhenyu Star's technology seemed a bit outdated.

The Perseverance returned to calm, and teams of soldiers descended. Soon, Xikang Maldo, Shaloshu, and Toluona also appeared, and Mira had left the ship at some point.

At this moment, in the distance, an army suddenly surrounded them.

Zhang Ding Tian frowned. Something was wrong. The atmosphere of these troops was serious, and they carried a hint of killing intent. He came from the military and was very sensitive to this kind of aura. It was the prelude to an attack.

"Be careful," Zhang Ding Tian warned in a low voice.

Lu Yin also felt something was off. The surrounding troops looked at them with caution.

The area around the Perseverance was sealed off, and invisible technological weapons locked onto everyone, especially Xikang Maldo.

Xikang Maldo's face turned serious as he looked at the man slowly descending from the sky. "Bulson? What do you mean?"

Everyone watched the scene.

The man called Bulson was clearly a strong individual capable of wandering the stars. Such strong individuals, above the peak realm, are called Explorers. As long as their combat power breaks ten thousand, they are Explorers, capable of wandering the stars. Those with combat power reaching fifty thousand are called Cruisers, and those with combat power breaking one hundred thousand are called Hunters.

Emperor Buxi Yushan of the Great Yu Empire was a Hunter, and there were very few Hunters in the entire Great Yu Empire.

Xikang Maldo was an Explorer, as were Shaloshu and Toluona, and Bulson was also an Explorer.

Bulson took out an arrest warrant. "By the order of His Majesty, I am to arrest Xikang Maldo. The charge is collusion with alien races and treason."

Everyone was in an uproar, and the soldiers following Xikang Maldo were shocked. Treason? That was a capital offense.

Lu Yin was also surprised. Treason?

Shaloshu and Toluona exchanged glances. They were also bewildered. As deputy captains of the thirteen royal teams, they had not received any advance notice, indicating that the information was sealed. This was a targeted seal against Xikang Maldo. Only Buxi Yushan could do this. Could Xikang Maldo really have committed treason?

Xikang Maldo frowned and stared at the arrest warrant, his face pale. It was real. "Why? I did not commit treason. Why is His Majesty arresting me?"

Bulson's gaze was cold, and he waved his hand. A team of soldiers arrested Xikang Maldo.

Xikang Maldo did not resist, just stared at Bulson.

Bulson stepped up to Xikang Maldo and said coldly, "In the Earth evolution trial, twenty-seven zombie kings escaped. Baluda committed treason and destroyed the Gamma system space station."

Xikang Maldo's pupils suddenly constricted. "What did you say?"

Bulson tapped his personal terminal, and a holographic screen appeared, showing a video of Xikang Maldo talking to Baluda. "You were the last person to see Baluda and the person in charge of the Earth evolution trial. The Empire has reason to believe you colluded with the alien race and took the zombie kings away." He then shouted, "Take him away."

Xikang Maldo's face turned ashen. As an Explorer, he did not resist and allowed the troops to take him away.

Everyone watched as Xikang Maldo was led away, in complete silence.

A mighty explorer, a general of the Empire, was finished just like that.

Lu Yin's gaze followed Xikang Maldo's back. He remembered the moment when he was announced as the Zishan King, and this person had told him to find him if he needed help. He never expected that things would turn out this way.

Bulson nodded to Shaloshu and Toluona, then walked straight to Lu Yin and bowed slowly. "Bulson, the third seat of the first team of the thirteen royal teams, greets the Zishan King."

Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked at Bulson, saying calmly, "Rise."

"Thank you, Zishan King," Bulson replied and continued, "His Majesty has ordered me to escort the Zishan King to the Imperial Palace. Your Highness, this way."

"Where are my friends?" Lu Yin asked.

Bulson said, "The Empire will make arrangements. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Lu Yin nodded and had Xu San follow him, glancing at Zhang Ding Tian and the others before walking out of the space station.

Xu San followed nervously, not daring to leave Lu Yin's side.

Lulu Mebis was bored and wandered off on her own.

Xialuo strolled around the space station, looking very relaxed, with no one bothering them.

Las looked at Lu Yin's back enviously, followed by Mono and Eder. They were all Yu Hall experts, and the Yu Hall was in the first ring, visible by looking up.

Hu Xiaoling, Jenny Ona, and other nobles were gradually escorted away.

Zhang Ding Tian and the others were taken away with Las and his group. They were to go to the Yu Hall to receive body reshaping, a reward from the Great Yu Empire. Even ordinary people who passed the trials did not receive this reward. The main reason was the talent of Zhang Ding Tian and the others. The Great Yu Empire's strength came from continuously absorbing new blood.

The Zhenyu Star space station was large, and they did not walk far before a flying vehicle stopped in front of Lu Yin and Xu San. "Your Highness, please."

Lu Yin and Xu San boarded the flying vehicle, and Bulson floated beside them. With a roar, the vehicle shot off into the distance.

Xu San curiously examined the flying vehicle, especially the holographic screen, where the route was already set. This was an intelligent driving system.

"General Bulson, right? Can I ask you a question?" Lu Yin asked politely.

Bulson's star energy pushed the air away, and he respectfully replied, "Your Highness, please ask."

"I heard you mention twenty-seven zombie kings. What does that mean?"

Bulson's gaze turned serious. "On the planet where Your Highness is from, evolution produced strong evolutionists and failed zombies. Among the zombies, there is a type called zombie kings, who can consume natural energy crystals to gain great power. These zombie kings have a league in the universe called the New Human League. They consider themselves new humans, representing the true direction of human evolution, all composed of zombie kings, and are extremely dangerous."

Lu Yin's eyes flashed, instantly thinking of the long-haired zombie king and the one killed by Zhang Ding Tian.

Talent is very rare among humans, but zombie kings can obtain it by consuming natural energy crystals. This means that members of the New Human League all possess talent. No wonder the Great Yu Empire is so concerned. This is a league composed of talented zombie kings, naturally posing a great threat, and they are a completely different species from humans.

"Was it very serious that twenty-seven zombie kings escaped during the Earth trial?" Lu Yin asked.

Bulson pondered for a moment and replied with only two words: "Capital offense."
