Chapter 76

When the Immortal Yu Mountain finished his story, Lu Yin felt a bit weak in the legs.

"Are you tired? Sorry, old people like to reminisce about the past," Immortal Yu Mountain shook his head and smiled, pushing the snacks toward Lu Yin. "Try them, these are Immortal Zi Mountain's favorite snacks."

Lu Yin nodded and took a bite, the taste was quite good.

Just as Immortal Yu Mountain was about to speak, he glanced at Dulan Yu Mountain and Duke Yu Mountain. "You're still here? Go back, I need to chat with Little Yin alone."

Lu Yin almost choked, this was just messing with him, he had listened for three hours, and it seemed Immortal Yu Mountain hadn't really cared.

Dulan Yu Mountain and Duke Yu Mountain seemed used to it, they bowed respectfully and left.

"The Great Yu Empire has too many worries, only here can I find peace, recalling the days when I and Immortal Zi Mountain roamed the universe, who didn't know the name of the Immortal Duo? Unfortunately, unfortunately, he left before me, I have lingered for a few hundred years, originally thinking I would never see the descendants of the Zi Mountain clan again, but fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and you have come, Little Yin, I am very pleased to see you before I die," Immortal Yu Mountain sighed again.

Lu Yin could only accompany him, "Your Majesty's strength is unparalleled in the universe, living for ten thousand years is not a problem, it's not that easy to die."

"Hehe, I know my own body, you don't need to comfort me," Immortal Yu Mountain shook his head, smiled, and looked at Lu Yin. "I have seen your Earth training, you did very well, defeating the Night King, even a newly awakened Night King, is quite difficult, few at your level can match you, you remind me of Immortal Zi Mountain when he was young."

Lu Yin felt ashamed, "Qing Yu's strength is too great, if not for the help of my classmates, I couldn't have defeated him alone."

Immortal Yu Mountain smiled, "That's also your wisdom, the final trial was completely controlled by you, and you even managed to force the Fusion Realm students to attack on your behalf, very clever, only the smart can survive well."

Lu Yin didn't say anything.

"I also know what happened on the ship, do as you please, as long as I am on the throne, you will be safe," Immortal Yu Mountain changed the topic suddenly.

Lu Yin quickly stepped back, "Thank you, Uncle."

Immortal Yu Mountain nodded and casually took out a spatial ring, "Just arrived in the Imperial Capital, you'll need money everywhere, here is a Mibis Bank crystal card and some star energy crystals, take them."

Lu Yin didn't refuse, and said again, "Thank you, Uncle."

Immortal Yu Mountain acknowledged, "Your strength is too weak, I have already ordered Bronson to protect you closely, I'm tired, you can go now."

Lu Yin originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Immortal Yu Mountain close his eyes, he couldn't say what was on his mind, bowed again, and turned to leave.

The mighty iron-blooded emperor of the Great Yu Empire, now in his twilight years, having ruled for eight hundred years and expanded nearly half the territory, to be honest, Lu Yin deeply admired this man, but any expansion comes with death. After Immortal Yu Mountain's death, how history will judge him, Lu Yin doesn't know, but he is quite grateful to Immortal Yu Mountain, who has been very kind to him.

Looking at the spatial ring, Immortal Yu Mountain had given him twenty cubic meters of crystals, not much, but for a cultivator of his level, it was already a lot, he didn't know how much money was on the crystal card.

Led by a palace maid, Lu Yin left the garden, Bronson was already waiting outside, and upon seeing Lu Yin, he immediately stepped forward, "Greetings, Lord Zi Mountain."

Lu Yin smiled, "Thank you, General Bronson."

Bronson solemnly said, "Protecting the prince is my duty, please don't be too formal, Your Highness."

Lu Yin nodded and walked out of the imperial palace.

Bronson followed behind Lu Yin, maintaining a one-meter distance, neither too far nor too close.

"By the way, General Bronson, I heard you are the third seat of the First Team of the Imperial Court, can you tell me about the Thirteen Teams of the Imperial Court?" Lu Yin asked.

Bronson said, "I am willing to answer the prince's questions," he paused and continued, "The Thirteen Teams of the Imperial Court correspond to the thirteen gates of the imperial palace, anyone entering or leaving the palace must pass through the thirteen teams, so the Thirteen Teams are the shield of the emperor, each team leader has the strength of a cruiser, unmatched in the Canglan territory, famous in the outer universe, more importantly, the Thirteen Teams correspond to the thirteen domains of the Great Yu Empire, nearly half of the administrative appointments in the thirteen domains come from the Thirteen Teams, and the domain lords are always the team leaders of the Thirteen Teams."

Lu Yin was surprised, "The Thirteen Teams of the Imperial Court are related to the thirteen domains of the empire?"

Bronson replied, "Appointed by the emperor, the domain lords of the thirteen domains are the team leaders of the Thirteen Teams, the ordinary administrative heads of the thirteen domains are the corresponding deputy team leaders, and the Thirteen Teams have the authority to review and supervise the corresponding regions."

Lu Yin understood, no wonder the Thirteen Teams of the Imperial Court are the most powerful department in the empire, each team leader is a regional governor, and even has the power to appoint and dismiss administrative officials, Immortal Yu Mountain is distributing power, controlling the source himself, both efficient and free from the worry of rebellion, such a governance method can only be implemented with great confidence in the central government, showing how confident Immortal Yu Mountain is in himself.

Bronson introduced the team leaders of the Thirteen Teams to Lu Yin, initially, Lu Yin didn't react much, he didn't know any of them, but when Bronson mentioned the leader of the Thirteenth Team, he was surprised, "What? Flowing Fire Zi Mountain? The leader of the Thirteenth Team is named Flowing Fire Zi Mountain?"

Bronson nodded, "Yes, Captain Flowing Fire is the leader of the Thirteenth Team, currently handling affairs in the Thirteenth Domain, and will return in a while."

Lu Yin frowned, "Is she also from my Zi Mountain clan?"

Bronson shook his head, "Captain Flowing Fire is not from the Zi Mountain clan, as for why she uses the Zi Mountain surname, please ask her yourself, Lord Zi Mountain."

Lu Yin's eyes flickered, not from the Zi Mountain clan, yet using the Zi Mountain surname, what is this woman's background? Immortal Yu Mountain didn't mention it when they met, did he forget?

Unconsciously, Lu Yin and Bronson arrived at the Great Star Gate, where Crown Prince Dulan Yu Mountain was smiling at him.

Lu Yin hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is the Crown Prince here? Not waiting for me, I hope."

Dulan Yu Mountain smiled, "Of course, waiting for my younger brother, as a newcomer to the Imperial Capital, I have nothing much to offer, just a small gift, don't be offended," saying this, Dulan Yu Mountain gave Lu Yin a spatial ring.

Lu Yin's eyes lit up, not daring to look at it in front of him, he put it away and said politely, "My elder brother is too kind, refusing would be a waste of your good intentions, I will accept it, thank you, elder brother."

Dulan Yu Mountain smiled, "My younger brother is generous, by the way, the Imperial Capital is vast, it's inconvenient for you to move around, I have already arranged for the latest model of a spacecraft to be sent here, it's outside the Great Star Gate, for your use."

Lu Yin thanked him again.

Dulan Yu Mountain didn't say much more, just instructed Bronson to take good care of Lu Yin before leaving.

The leader of the First Team of the Imperial Court is Immortal Yu Mountain himself, the left deputy is Crown Prince Dulan Yu Mountain, and the right deputy is the second prince Duke Yu Mountain, as the third seat of the First Team, Bronson has to follow Dulan Yu Mountain's orders.

Watching Dulan Yu Mountain leave, Lu Yin looked at the spatial ring, surprised, Dulan Yu Mountain had given him fifty cubic meters of star energy crystals, more than what Immortal Yu Mountain gave, quite generous, he must have embezzled a lot, he couldn't help but marvel, "The Crown Prince is really a good person, worthy of being the next emperor, humble and gentle."

Bronson kept his head down and didn't speak.

Lu Yin took a few steps, suddenly thought of something, his eyes shining with excitement, he clenched his fists, and finally walked out of the Great Star Gate with a mysterious smile.

Outside the Great Star Gate, Xu San was hiding to one side, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the incredibly dazzling spacecraft in the distance, its size and shape far surpassing the one that brought them here, there was no comparison, the smooth lines and dominant design were simply a man's dream.

Xu San was almost drooling, not knowing who it belonged to, such a cool thing must be very expensive!

Soon, Lu Yin came out, called to Xu San, and walked straight to the cool spacecraft.

Xu San hurriedly ran over, "Boss, don't touch it, this thing looks very expensive, don't let people think we're trying to extort money."

Lu Yin was speechless, "Stop embarrassing yourself, get in," saying this, Lu Yin opened the cabin door and got in.

Xu San was stunned, then excited, "Boss, is this ours?"

"Of course," Lu Yin felt this guy was a bit embarrassing, he needed to broaden his horizons, otherwise, he wouldn't be worth much, "Let's go, to the first ring of the mainland, to find Zhang Dingtian and the others."

"Boss, how do you know Zhang Dingtian is in the first ring?" Xu San asked.

"Reforming the body is done in the Yu Hall, let's go," saying this, Lu Yin started the spacecraft, with a burst of air, the spacecraft shot out, automatically planning the route and setting the course for the first ring.

Bronson followed directly through the void.
