Lu Yin knew that he could not delay this any longer. Staying at Cleardust Mountain was the first step, so what should he do next?
There were Progenitor Realm experts in this part of the starry sky. No one knew when Long Tian and the others would be rescued. He wanted to find out what happened to the Lu Clan before Long Tian and the others were rescued. Then, he would head to the location Invisible Light told him and return to the Fifth Mainland.
Neither of these things were easy, and the prerequisite was that he could leave Cleardust Mountain openly.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin exposed Guan Yun's spies one after another. He had only captured a few of the spies, and there were more than half that he had yet to capture.
Now, he was exposing them bit by bit, and although Cai Shu was not satisfied, it was still somewhat effective.
Ten days later, Qing Chen appeared in front of Lu Yin with an indifferent expression. "Long Seven, you might have been able to recall those spies, but you know what information I want. Tell me, what exactly did you see back then?"
Lu Yin was put in a difficult position. "Senior, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the information I saw was too vague. It would be useless even if I told you."
Behind Qing Chen, Cai Shu said, "It doesn't matter. Tell me."
Lu Yin said, "Actually, after thinking about it for so many days, I've gradually recalled some things. Guan Yun's records did not mention the person who developed the Guan brothers, and there wasn't even a codename."
When he heard this, Qing Chen's expression turned ugly. He had specifically contacted Owl for Lu Yin's sake and even communicated with the White Dragon Clan. Although the communication had gone smoothly, he was a Half-Ancestor, and doing all this for a junior had resulted in useless information. He had even promised to let Lu Yin stay at Cleardust Mountain, which made him unhappy. He admired Lu Yin, but that did not mean that he did not mind being used by Lu Yin.
Right now, he felt like he had been used.
"But that person has a special characteristic." Lu Yin looked at Qing Chen carefully, then at Cai Shu. He swallowed his saliva and decided to just say it. No one would be able to verify it anyway. He coughed and said solemnly, "It's not a person, it's a doll."
Lu Yin's face twitched when he heard this, as he had based his description on the Sorcerer Spirit God's appearance. The Sorcerer Spirit God was one of the Fifth Mainland's Seven Skygods, and that fellow was also a member of the monsters. Although no one could verify his claim based on his appearance, no one could refute it either. There was indeed such a person among the monsters.
Lu Yin had thought that Qing Chen might not believe him, or that she might be skeptical. At worst, she would think that he was lying, but the result shocked him. Qing Chen's face had completely changed.
"What did you say?
A doll?
What kind of doll? "Qing Chen asked eagerly, staring into Lu Yin's eyes.
Lu Yin was stunned. What did this reaction mean?
"Tell me, what kind of doll?
Where did you see him? "Qing Chen shouted.
Lu Yin blinked and met Qing Chen's eyes. "I can't really describe it. Guan Yun's records only mention four words: 'Confusion of the five senses.'"
Qing Chen's expression changed again, and he withdrew his gaze from Lu Yin and looked into the distance.
Cai Shu's face was solemn, and she asked Lu Yin, "What else?"
Lu Yin had prepared some excuses to highlight his role in this matter. It would be best if he could go out and investigate, but Qing Chen's reaction made him pause in time. He shook his head. "There's nothing else."
Cai Shu looked at Qing Chen solemnly. "Master, it's the Sorcerer Spirit God."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, but he did not dare to show it.
Teng.
The Sorcerer Spirit God. There was actually a Sorcerer Spirit God in this part of the universe. Was it a coincidence?
Or was it the same person?
He had just told a simple lie, a very simple one. How did the Sorcerer Spirit God get involved?
And they all knew about it?
Qing Chen and Cai Shu left. Lu Yin could not listen to their conversation, but he really wanted to hear it.
On the other side, Qing Chen reminisced, "The Seven Skygods are humanity's greatest enemies. They have always been a thorn in our side. They have been our eternal enemies since our humble school was first established, but we have not been able to kill them."
"The Seven Skygods are hidden among us, and no one knows which one is the Seven Skygods.
Only a few people know their names, and Long Seven definitely does not know about the Sorcerer Spirit God. If he can say that the five senses are in chaos, then he must have seen Guan Yun's records, "Cai Shu said.
Qing Chen nodded. "With the Seven Skygods' status, it makes sense to develop the Guan brothers. Huaiyuan's geographical location is special, and Guan Tong is one of the leaders of the Nine Gates. Only people at the level of the Seven Skygods can develop them. I'm just worried about whether or not there are any Red Backs in the Thirteen Gates."
Cai Shu said, "It's difficult to find out whether or not there are any Red Backs. If not for Long Seven, we would not have thought that the Guan brothers were Red Backs. Master, who do you think is the source of the unknown information behind Long Seven?
To think that they were able to find out about the Guan brothers. "
Qing Chen said, "I secretly investigated, but there was no result."
"Could it be?"
Cai Shu hesitated, but then shook her head. "That's not very likely. Sacrificing the Guan brothers to develop Long Seven is meaningless. However, the reason Long Xian left behind that guide map, which led to the Fourth Young Ancestor being trapped, is because of Long Seven. If sacrificing the Guan brothers can lead to the Fourth Young Ancestor being trapped, then Long Seven might not be a Red Back."
Qing Chen looked at Cai Shu. "You suspect Long Seven?"
Cai Shu said, "Even Master can't find the source of the information behind Long Seven. It's normal to suspect him."
Qing Chen laughed. "He can't be a Red Back."
Cai Shu was puzzled. "Why?"
Qing Chen's gaze was stern. "Because the Huaiyuan is too important. It's connected to the Cloud Ladder, and the Cloud Ladder hides a lot of unspeakable darkness in the Four Directions Scale. The Sorcerer Spirit God developed the Guan brothers because of their status, which would allow him to smoothly develop spies and obtain information about the humans. Secondly, it's because of that darkness."
Cai Shu did not understand. "Darkness?"
Qing Chen did not explain further. "The Guan brothers are more important than you know. Even if we want to deal with the Fourth Young Ancestor, the Guan brothers cannot be sacrificed. I'm very certain of this."
Cai Shu did not speak. Although she knew many things with her status, and even knew about the Seven Skygods, her master had never told her much about the Four Directions Scale. She had only been warned to stay as far away from it as possible.
"What does Master plan to do?" Cai Shu asked.
Qing Chen looked in the direction of the Huaiyuan. "Long Seven came into contact with Guan Yun's scarlet token."
Cai Shu trembled. "You're planning to …?"
…
One day later, Lu Yin was staring off into the distance, deep in thought. Cai Shu arrived with a smile on her face.
When he saw the smiling Cai Shu, he did not know why, but he felt a chill run down his spine. He had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Long Seven, how have you been at Clear Dust Mountain?" Cai Shu asked with a smile. She was very friendly.
Lu Yin's mind raced. What did she mean?
？
How should he answer that?
This guy's smile was very treacherous!
"Long Seven?" Cai Shu was puzzled.
Lu Yin coughed. "Well, not bad."
Cai Shu smiled. "That's good. That's right, I remember that you don't want to go back to Dragonmountain."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly wanted to go back to Dragonmountain. The current Cai Shu made him feel very uneasy, but in the end, he still replied, "I don't want to go back for now. Didn't you promise me that you would only let me go to Dragonmountain when the Junior Ancestor returns?"
Cai Shu nodded. "Yes, but even if Junior Ancestor returns, you don't necessarily have to go to Dragon Mountain. Princess Long Xi has gone missing, and your days are definitely not going to be easy. That's why Master has found another way for you. Consider it your reward for your contribution. You should know that the information you recalled has contributed greatly. Not only did you complete the fourteenth mission, but you also provided us with a valuable clue."
Lu Yin blinked, and the first thing he thought of was the sword stele's reward. It was both a reward and a mission, so he quickly rejected the offer. "Thank you, Senior, but I don't want any rewards. The humble school has helped me enough, and I just want to do my part for the greater good of humanity."
Cai Shu smiled. "You can't not want a reward. If you don't reward your contributions, many people will be disappointed."
"No, I'm the one who doesn't want a reward. I definitely won't be disappointed," Lu Yin quickly said.
Cai Shu patted Lu Yin's shoulder and sighed. "If everyone had the same resolve as you, Long Seven, then there wouldn't be any spies or redbacks. It's a pity that Master once said that a redback cannot become an Ancestor. Long Seven, you have the same ambition as Master."
Lu Yin pursed his lips and wanted to vomit. Who wouldn't want to become an Ancestor if they could?
Only by becoming an Ancestor would they be able to better deal with those monsters. He hadn't expected Qingchen to be so good with words. It was no wonder why she had been able to become the Superintendent of the Nine Gates.
"Alright, there's no need to decline. Master's reward for you is to become the acting sect master of the Humble Huaiyuan School. You'll be in charge of the Humble Huaiyuan School's affairs. Long Seven, you've become the acting sect master of the Humble Huaiyuan School from being an unknown disciple of the Fourteenth Gate. There has never been anyone below the strength of an Emissary who has become an acting sect master. You're the first, and you'll definitely go down in history," Cai Shu congratulated.
Lu Yin's mind was about to explode. Acting sect master?
One of the Nine Gates?
This, this increase in strength was too great!
He had spent quite a bit of time in the Humble School, and he knew that one of the requirements to become a sect master was to have the strength of an Emissary. Lu Yin was just a Hunter, and the difference was too great, but he had actually become an acting sect master.
Although he was an acting sect master, his authority was the same as a sect master's, and he could be removed at any time.
Cai Shu was still congratulating him, but Lu Yin didn't listen. Humble Huaiyuan School, acting sect master — these few words stunned him, and he was certain that he had been tricked.
But what exactly was Qingchen trying to trick him?
He couldn't figure out Qingchen's goal, but he knew that everyone in the Humble School of Huaiyuan was unhappy with him. It was because of him that the Humble School of Huaiyuan was looked down upon by the other eight gates. Even their own sect master was a redback.
What a joke.
Once he went to the Humble School of Huaiyuan, his scalp would go numb just thinking about it.
"Senior Cai Shu, I'm still young. How can I become the acting sect master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan? Even a captain isn't qualified, let alone a sect master," Lu Yin immediately refused.
