Lu Yin was puzzled. "Even if I offended others, no one can do anything to me with the White Dragon Clan behind me. I'm not even afraid of the Frigid Immortal Sect, so no one can threaten me. If that's the case, why give me the credit?"
Suddenly, he thought of something and spoke up at the same time as Invisible Light. "Falsely claim credit."
"The Humble School has a lot of authority, and because of that, there are even more rules. The punishment for breaking the rules is severe, and the most severe punishment is falsely claiming credit."
Invisible Light continued, "First, you have to expose the Zhu family and offend the Humble School of Huaiyuan. Then, they'll report you for falsely claiming credit. The Guan brothers won't let you off even without the Frigid Immortal Sect's intervention. Even if the White Dragon Clan intervenes, you'll be banished from the Humble School."
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine. "How ruthless. If it were anyone else, I might have fallen for their trap. So what if I didn't expose the Zhu family? Mo Gaohe definitely has a way to force the credit onto me and then expose me. He'll announce that I was the one who discovered the Zhu family spy, and I'll still offend the Guan brothers. No matter what, I won't be able to escape this trap."
Invisible Light praised, "The person who set this trap is very meticulous. Even if there are unforeseen circumstances, he'll still be able to adapt to the situation. You won't be able to escape no matter what. Amazing."
Lu Yin wasn't in the mood to praise others. There was such a ruthless person plotting against him in the dark. He had escaped this time because of Invisible Light, but what about the next time?
The person who had set this trap would definitely not let him off so easily.
Who could it be?
Bai Shaohong?
That shouldn't be the case. Bai Shaohong was the junior ancestor and wouldn't have the energy to do such things. Who could it be?
Either way, it had to be someone from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
If he wanted to know who it was, he would have to start with Mo Gaohe.
"Try to find out who's behind Mo Gaohe. I want to know who's plotting against me," Lu Yin said.
Invisible Light replied, "It'll be difficult. Mo Gaohe is vicious and tight-lipped. It won't be easy to get information out of him, and he might even see through it. The only thing we can do now is to deal with him as soon as he makes his second move. Let's get rid of him first."
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. Mo Gaohe was like a stepping stone placed by the enemy to attack. If he didn't get rid of this stepping stone, the enemy could set up a new trap at any time. He had to get rid of Mo Gaohe, or at least ensure that there were no enemies in the Yin Mountain District that were targeting him.
The only thing he could do now was wait, wait for Mo Gaohe to make his move.
Another half a month quickly passed, and one day, the Cloudconnection Stone on Lu Yin's wrist vibrated.
The Cloud Communication Stone was given to him by Long Xi to facilitate communication.
In this part of space, Cloud Communication Stones were not as common as gadgets. Only a few people had them.
Long Xi's image appeared before his eyes. She was still as beautiful as ever. Her aqua blue hair was still dazzling, and her amber eyes were full of charm.
"How have you been?"
Long Xi asked. She had been very worried about Lu Yin for the past month, not because she liked him, but because she was worried that the Frigid Immortal Sect would make a move on him.
Lu Yin didn't tell her about Mo Gaohe's plot against him, as it would only make her more worried. He also couldn't explain his invisibility status, and if she became too worried, she might ask Long Tian to arrange for him to be sent to another place. Then, he would have to start all over again. Here, he could rely on his invisibility to predict the enemy's movements and ensure his own safety.
"It's fine, nothing much. I just go to the Yin Mountain with Fatty Bai, ahem, I mean Wang Dashuai.
He'll protect me when I wander around the city, "Lu Yin said.
Long Xi frowned. "Stay away from Wang Dashuai as well. He's very simple-minded and can be easily manipulated."
This was the truth, so Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, got it."
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin for a while, but she didn't have anything else to say. "Be careful for now. Bai Shaohong won't be able to make a move on you, so don't cause any trouble. I'll urge Big Brother to give you contribution points as soon as possible. Once you retire, you'll be safe. Remember, don't cause any trouble."
"Don't worry, I'm very well-behaved."
Long Xi looked at him one more time before her image disappeared.
Lu Yin looked outside and saw that the sky was gloomy. Fatty Bai had led a team out on patrol and would only return in two days. Lu Yin couldn't go out casually either, as he didn't want to be provoked by Mo Gaohe and expose himself unnecessarily. Right, it's time to roll his die.
The best way to deepen his understanding of this region of space was to read someone's memories, and there was nothing more convenient than rolling six pips. However, if he wanted to integrate his memories into someone's body, he couldn't have too many star essences.
With that in mind, he entered a secret room. Everyone had a secret training room in their room.
He set his cosmic ring aside and took out a thousand star essences. He raised his hand, causing the die to appear and spin slowly.
Lu Yin tapped it, causing it to spin rapidly before slowly coming to a stop. Three Pips, and two screens of light appeared. Lu Yin pursed his lips; now wasn't the time to upgrade external items, and there was nothing to upgrade anyway.
He restored the die with star crystals and tapped it again. This time, it was one pip, and a piece of metal fell out. It was quite tough, but Lu Yin still crushed it in his hands. This metal was strong enough to be a Hunter's weapon, and it would be valuable to many people. Unfortunately, it was useless to him.
Lu Yin rolled his die again, and his wish came true this time. Six Pips appeared, and he found himself in that strange black space. Balls of light flickered one after another, and Lu Yin immediately found the closest one to him and merged with it.
The next moment, his body trembled, and the scene in front of him changed. He appeared high up in the sky, and below him was a burning sea of fire. Countless people were wailing from within, accompanied by cries of despair. Beside him was a man whose aura made Lu Yin's scalp go numb; it was an Envoy.
As the memories flooded in, Lu Yin's mouth fell open, and he looked down at his hands. What heaven-defying luck! He had actually merged with Guan Yun's body.
A month ago, he had been discussing Mo Gaohe's scheme with Meng Guang, which had involved the three Guan brothers from the Humble School of Huaiyuan. He hadn't expected to merge with Guan Yun's body in less than a month. Guan Yun was a powerhouse with a power level of more than 400,000, and he was extremely close to becoming an Envoy. It was no wonder why he was so suitable for Lu Yin; there wasn't much of a difference between their power levels.
The person beside him was Guan Yun's second brother, Guan Hai, who was also a true Envoy.
They were currently wrapping up a mission, and there was a human traitor in one of their families. The Humble School had determined that the traitor had been exterminated.
More and more memories flooded in, and Lu Yin learned that the Top Realm and Middle Realm were both on the front side of the Mother Tree. There was also the back side of the Mother Tree, which was the largest battlefield in the Cosmic Tree. Their opponents were all monsters with scarlet vertical eyes, and there were countless of them.
Neohuman Alliance. Lu Yin hadn't expected these monsters to be the greatest enemies of the Cosmic Tree. Just like the Fifth Mainland, these monsters had also planted traitors among the humans.
However, unlike the Fifth Mainland, the monsters in this part of the universe were all hidden.
On the other hand, the Neohuman Alliance existed in the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin finally understood. The Humble School was the equivalent of the Fifth Mainland's Hall of Honor, and the Four Cardinal Scales was the equivalent of the Hall of Honor.
Lu Yin had joined the Interstellar Court.
As more memories flooded in, Lu Yin's understanding of this part of the universe increased. Suddenly, his heart trembled as he discovered a huge secret: Guan Yun was actually a traitor.
"Second Brother!" Lu Yin's body trembled, and he looked at Guan Hai beside him.
Guan Hai was puzzled, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"
Lu Yin shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice, "Nothing."
Guan Hai frowned, "You must be tired. You've been out on many missions, so go back and rest after this one. Big Brother has something to talk to you about."
"Alright," Lu Yin agreed.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed again, and he returned to that strange, dark place. He then returned to his own body and opened his eyes. They were filled with intense shock, and he hurriedly memorized a few names. These were all traitors that Guan Yun had planted.
Who would have thought that Guan Yun, the third most powerful person in the Humble School of Huaiyuan, was actually a traitor? Who would have thought that he would openly root out traitors?
If Guan Yun was a traitor, then what about Guan Hai and Guan Tong?
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity that he didn't have enough star essence, so he couldn't stay here longer. Otherwise, he would have been able to see more of Guan Yun's memories. However, if he had more star essence, he might not have been able to fuse with Guan Yun, and he might have ended up somewhere even further away.
His thoughts were complicated, and he recorded down all of the traitors that he had learned about from Guan Yun's memories. There were quite a few densely packed names, and if he submitted this list and it was verified, he would definitely be rewarded greatly. He might even be summoned by the Superintendent of the Nine Gates of the Central Realm.
The Superintendent of the Nine Gates was named Qing Chen, and he was a super powerhouse. Lu Yin wasn't sure exactly how strong he was, but he definitely surpassed someone like Master Yuan and might even be on the same level as the Fifth Mainland's Interstellar Tribunal.
The Governor of the Humble School was rumored to be a Progenitor who was extremely stubborn and overprotective.
Besides these, Guan Yun's memories also contained information about the Zhu family. Just as Ming Guang had said, there was a human traitor within the Zhu family who had been hiding for decades. However, there was one difference: this spy was not a bait that the three Guan brothers had set up to catch the big fish. The traitor had been planted by Guan Yun, and he had only been exposed by coincidence.
Guan Yun still wanted to use him for some other things.
Lu Yin organized his thoughts and sucked in a cold breath. The people behind Mo Gaohe only knew that the traitor had been planted by the three Guan brothers. Even so, if Lu Yin exposed the traitor, he would fall into that person's trap and offend the three Guan brothers. Furthermore, this traitor was of great use to Guan Yun, and if Lu Yin exposed him, he would not just offend One Star. Guan Yun probably wanted to kill Lu Yin even in his dreams.
This was too ruthless. If not for Ming Guang, Lu Yin might have actually fallen for the trap and become a chess piece for someone else to toy with.
Lu Yin rubbed his head, but right now, the initiative was in his hands.
If he could think of a way to drag the person behind Mo Gaohe down with him, that would be perfect. Lu Yin looked up at the dusky sky. He had not expected that even though he had concealed his identity in this part of the universe, there would still be endless conflicts.
The next day, Ming Guang came looking for Lu Yin. "Mo Gaohe has made his move."
