to exchange them anymore.
Following that rumor, many people have started withdrawing their entire savings accounts from the bank, and this has resulted in the Mavis bank of one particular weave being forced to continuously transfer funds from other weaves.
To make matters worse, each transfer was either robbed or encountered an accident midway through the trip.
Due to all this, the Mavis bank is suffering rather badly at this moment.” Gavin said. 

Lu Yin was shocked at this news.
“I remember that something similar once happened in Frostwave Weave in the past.
Back then, someone started a rumor, and the Mavis bank was forced to request funds from other branches.
Are you saying that they are unable to cope this time around?” 

Gavin solemnly responded, “That is something that I am not sure about.
The Mavis bank has deep pockets, and it’s very possible that they can just ride this out, but it’s also possible that they will not be able to do so.
The most important thing to note is that, at this time, the problem did not happen in just one weave—it is occurring simultaneously in more than ten weaves.
Furthermore, the transports carrying the funds keep encountering various mishaps.
There are also rumors abound that the Mavis bank is going bankrupt, and many people are buying into those rumors as well.” 

The central weaves? Lu Yin muttered to himself.
Could Wei Rong be the person behind all of these incidents? That would mean that he had acted very quickly.
He had first dealt with the Lockbreaker Society, and now he was moving straight onto the Mavis bank.
Could he handle it? The Mavis bank was not some piece of cake that the isolated Outerverse Lockbreaker Society had been. 

The backbone of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was President Geoffrey, who was currently trapped in the Innerverse, and that was the main reason the society had crumbled.
If Wei Rong tried to treat the Mavis bank like the Lockbreaker Society with an absent Geoffrey, he would be in trouble.
 

However, Lu Yin had a nagging feeling that it was also possible that Wei Rong was not behind these incidents.
Lu Yin was in no hurry to find out. 

“In that case, contact Shamrock Enterprises.
Exchange these items for some of their natural treasures,” Lu Yin said. 

Gavin was stressed by this order.
The items on this list were paintings by famous masters and manuscripts by famous people, but would anyone even want them? However, since Lu Yin had spoken, he had no choice but to carry out the Royal Regent’s orders.
If these items were not accepted, then he would be forced to seek out collectors who would buy the items and then use the proceeds to trade with Shamrock Enterprises. 

Also, Shamrock Enterprises did not seem prone to selling their natural treasures, as they mainly sold pharmaceuticals. 

As he thought about natural treasures, Lu Yin’s mind suddenly drifted to that Bushtree Planet.
It had been that particular planet that had led to his falling out with Puyu.
 

Bushtree Planet was located in the Woori Weave, and it was a strange planet.
All of the planet’s water reserves were buried deep underground, and there were no animals on the planet.
Instead, it was filled with vegetation and boasted an abundance of natural treasures.
Unfortunately, the lifespan of those natural treasures was only a decade long, and they would invariably wilt after that.
To a large percentage of cultivators in the universe, natural treasures that could only live for a decade were completely useless.
Even if they could take them away from the planet, they would be rendered unusable after just a decade.
 

Such natural treasures were only useful for young cultivators, which was the reason why Darkstar Gorge had used the Bushtree Planet as their exclusive training ground in the past.
 

Ever since Lu Yin had chased Darkstar Gorge away from the planet, he had kept Bushtree Planet under close watch.
He did not allow anyone to train there, and he had always wanted to take some time to visit it.
It would seem that this was the right time, and if it turned out that he could use the natural treasures found on that planet, it would be perfect for his cultivation. 

A few days later, Lu Yin left Zenyu Star aboard a spacecraft headed straight for Woori Weave.
While the Woori Weave shared a common border with Darkmist Weave, Woori Weave did not have a guiding power that held sway over the entire weave.
If Lu Yin wanted to pull Woori Weave into the Great Eastern Alliance, then he would be forced to gather the several hundred smaller, internal organizations together.
Also, these powers did not have many secrets that Mafioso Planet could exploit, which made everything rather cumbersome.
This was why Lu Yin had excluded Woori Weave from his initial plans for the Great Eastern Alliance.
 

However, this weave was still in the eastern regions of the Outerverse, it was inevitable that it would eventually be absorbed into the Great Eastern Alliance.
 

There were far more than eight weaves in the eastern region of the Outerverse, and it was just a matter of time before Lu Yin would have to rope in the other weaves.
This was something that had been keeping En busy recently, as it was not an easy task, especially when there was the possibility of Wei Rong creating complications. 

Lu Yin would occasionally get stuck in a rut, wasting some time, but there were also times when no appropriate solution could be found.
It was just like when he had been working to establish the Great Eastern Alliance.
If he had not gotten a hold of Mafioso Planet’s secrets, it would have been incredibly difficult to establish the alliance.
As for the remaining eastern weaves, there were methods to handle them, but he had simply not found them yet.
Although, Lu Yin believed that he would eventually find those methods.
 

After reciting the Stonewall Scriptures for a while and checking the different available routes, Lu Yin was only an hour away from Bushtree Planet.
Lu Yin pondered for a moment before turning his personal gadget on, reading up on information regarding Peach and the other original captains of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons.
 

The situation that he had witnessed with Liuying Zishan had become a constant thorn in Lu Yin’s heart.
He wanted to know where that ball of light had come from and also why it had seemed to have its own consciousness.
He suspected that it was something left behind by a powerhouse who had forced their way into Liuying Zishan’s body, and she had likely not even been aware of anything.
He suspected that it had something to do with the Yu bloodline.
 

After witnessing the situation with Liuying Zishan, Lu Yin had grown suspicious; what about Peach, the Blind Monk, and the rest?

After monitoring the few original captains for several days, he still had not observed any signs of anything resembling the situation with Liuying Zishan.
However, he still felt unsettled, so he had decided to check through the backgrounds of the original captains. 

After browsing through the information, he discovered something strange: all of the captains were from different weaves.

He had initially been under the impression that all of the original captains of the Thirteen Imperial Squadron had come from Frostwave Weave.
This was also what someone had once told him in the past.
However, with his status as Royal Regent, he had access to the original information and could see where the captains were truly from, and now, he had found out the truth of the matter.
 

Peach was from Mordo Weave, Shalosh was from Canopy Weave, the blind monk was from Chong Sen Weave, and Ban Jiu was from Morrow Weave.
Even when the captains who had already passed away were included, not one of the captains had come from Frostwave Weave aside from Huo Qingshan and Rocky Auna.
 

This was quite odd, and where had Undying Yushan found these people? These captains had all been born in various places covering nearly half of the entire eastern region of the Outerverse, and many of them came from weaves that Lu Yin had not even heard of before.
