The biggest difference between him and the Guan brothers was that he wasn't afraid of things getting out of hand. The bigger the situation, the better. As bait, he had to act as bait. No matter how big the situation got, Qingchen would deal with it. If he couldn't deal with it, then he could take the opportunity to escape.
Thinking about this, Lu Yin was even more tempted.
"How about it?
Are we leaving? "The fatty seemed even more tempted than Lu Yin.
"Let's wait for one more person."
"Who?"
Lu Yin looked up, "Her."
The fatty raised his head and saw Xia Taili slowly walking over with a smile on her face. He was shocked. "She … Why is she here?"
Lu Yin also felt uncomfortable; he hadn't expected Xia Taili to really come. She had nothing better to do, and instead of waiting for Xia Shenfei on Junior Ancestor Planet, she actually had the time to come to the Humble School of Huaiyuan.
"Brother-in-law, you're still the most loyal one. You didn't forget me even after you took over. Thank you," Xia Taili smiled at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled, "I didn't expect you to have the time to come."
Xia Taili smiled happily, "Of course, I've always been interested in the Humble School. Plus, you're now the master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan. How is it? Do you have any targets to capture?
If you have any suspicions, you can capture them first. "
Lu Yin saw the excitement in Xia Taili's eyes and his eyes flashed, "Yes, come with me."
Xia Taili's eyes lit up, "Really?
Alright, let's go, don't let the targets escape. "
The fatty followed closely behind Lu Yin.
Liu Tianmu and Shangqing followed not too far away.
Cai Shu watched them leave the headquarters of the Humble School of Huaiyuan and head in the direction of the ladder. She quickly followed them and looked up at the Mother Tree, recalling what her master had said. There was a huge darkness there, but what kind of darkness was it?
The Humble School of Huaiyuan's location was special because it covered the ladder, and Huaiyuan was directly below the entrance to the Upper Realm.
Anyone who wanted to use the ladder to enter the Upper Realm would have to come to Huaiyuan, so the Humble School of Huaiyuan had the right to capture and interrogate anyone. This was also the main reason why the Smoke Cloud Sect had to contribute to the Humble School of Huaiyuan.
The cloud ladders were pieces of land formed by the strange smoke. Every once in a while, a piece of cloud land would move toward the Top Realm. There were thousands of such cloud lands in the area of the cloud ladders, and each cloud land could carry dozens to hundreds of people.
Below the cloud ladder, countless people lined up, waiting to ascend the cloud continent and enter the Top Realm. There were even more people trying to apply to enter the Top Realm.
Although the Top Realm was where the Four Sides of Balance were located, it did not mean that there were only people from the Four Sides of Balance. There were also various cities there that required servants and servants. There were also dangerous mountains and unfathomable seas that required people to explore. The Four Sides of Balance only occupied less than half of the Top Realm. The other half had to be inhabited.
At the same time, there were also quite a number of people who wanted to join the Four Way Scales or become disciples of the Four Way Scales.
To the people of the Middle World, entering the Top World was an honor. For this, they would pay a huge price. This price was also one of the sources of income for the Smoke Cloud Sect.
Lu Yin's group got closer and closer to the cloud ladder. Half of it hung in the air while the other half was connected to the main trunk of the Mother Tree. In other words, getting closer to the cloud ladder was also getting closer to the main trunk of the Mother Tree.
Every time he saw the main trunk of the Mother Tree that connected the sky and the earth, Lu Yin was shocked. How could a tree grow so big?
This was too exaggerated. He couldn't even see the borders of the main trunk horizontally. It was like an isolated world.
There was even a grand battlefield behind the main trunk.
The main trunk isolated the battlefield.
"Is the target we want to capture near the cloud ladder?" Xia Taili grew even more excited. She was no stranger to the cloud ladder.
Lu Yin looked at the busy cloud ladder and the many Smoke Cloud Sect disciples guarding it. He nodded.
"Is it someone from the Smoke Cloud Sect?" Xia Taili's eyes lit up. She was even eager to try.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You hope it's someone from the Smoke Cloud Sect?"
Xia Taili rolled her eyes. "No, I'm just asking."
Lu Yin felt that Xia Taili's attitude was strange. He looked at Wang Dashuai, who looked confused.
Not long after, Lu Yin's group slowly walked past the queue towards one of the cloud landmasses. The people around them looked at them curiously.
The queue here was very quiet and solemn. Everyone had to pay a price to enter the Top World, and no one wanted to be disqualified because of any mistake. Lu Yin's group was a bit out of place.
They quickly attracted the attention of the Smoke Cloud Sect cultivators.
Originally, these Smoke Cloud Sect cultivators were a cut above the rest and ordered everyone around. However, Lu Yin's group's imposing manner made them not dare to casually approach.
As a result, Lu Yin's group smoothly arrived at one of the cloud landmasses and stepped onto it.
Lu Yin looked at the group of Smoke Cloud Sect cultivators in the distance and was puzzled. "No one cares about us?"
Xia Taili raised her head. "They must have recognized us."
She said indifferently, "They were scared by us."
"Really?
That won't do, "Lu Yin muttered to himself. He raised a hand and pointed at a Smoke Cloud Sect cultivator. It was a small bearded man." You, come here. "
Many cultivators who entered and exited the ladder knew a rule: a guide fee. This guide fee wasn't the price one had to pay to enter the Top World. It was a qualification that represented that one could enter the Top World. Entering the Top World required one to step onto a cloud landmass, so the question was, who would take you there?
The cloud landmasses were easy to find since they were right in front of you. However, you couldn't ascend just because you saw them. You had to line up, and someone had to tell you which cloud landmass to ascend to. This gave rise to a guide fee that was paid to the person guarding the cloud landmasses, which was the dispatcher.
There were over a thousand cloud landmasses, and depending on the situation, they could be integrated or dispersed. All of this depended on the dispatcher. Cultivators who wanted to enter the Top World also had to rely on the dispatcher to ascend to the Top World.
The dispatcher was a very difficult task, or at least that was what the cultivators themselves believed. Only by paying the guide fee would one be allowed to ascend to the Top World. Otherwise, one would have to wait.
In the past, there had been people who hadn't been willing to pay, but those people had believed that they could definitely enter the Top World, so there was no need to pay the guide fee. They had waited for a few months, and even if they wanted to pay the guide fee, the dispatcher wouldn't accept it. They had waited for more than a year, and in the end, they had used all sorts of connections to pay the guide fee and enter the Top World.
Many people knew about this, so the guide fee was necessary.
"Second Master, are we not going to care about those people?
They don't seem to be lining up, "a young disciple whispered from behind the bearded man, his gaze somewhat unfriendly.
The bearded man barked, "There's only one possibility for them to be so brazen. They have a strong backing. Don't worry about them."
"What if they're just putting on an act?"
"Then they're just unlucky," the bearded man said unhappily.
Just as he finished speaking, the leader of the group that they were staring at hooked his finger at the bearded man, indicating for him to go over.
The bearded man blinked. Was this person really that arrogant?
He was the dispatcher of the escalade, and although his status wasn't high, his influence was great, especially since he had a backer in the Smoke Cloud Sect. That person didn't seem to care about him at all.
The bearded man wasn't stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart, which was why he had been able to become the dispatcher. He organized his thoughts. No matter where this group of people came from, he couldn't afford to offend them. That was the least he could do. He straightened his clothes and jogged over.
"Sir, how may I help you?"
The bearded man arrived in front of Lu Yin and asked with a warm smile. It was obvious that he was a model service worker.
Lu Yin was stunned. With this attitude, it wouldn't be easy to cause trouble for him!
Wasn't the Smoke Cloud Sect very arrogant?
The escalade was like the Astral River Ark, and they controlled the entrance and exit. It was obvious how high their status was. What was going on? Why was this guy so warm towards Lu Yin?
"Call the person in charge of this area over," Lu Yin said. He had thought that the bearded man's status was too low, so his attitude would change if he called a higher-up.
The bearded man smiled even more modestly. "I'm the dispatcher of this area. What orders do you have?"
"You?
Isn't the dispatcher Yunyang's lover? "Wang Dashuai poked his head out and asked curiously.
The bearded man's expression changed when he saw Wang Dashuai, "You … you're here again?"
Lu Yin looked at Wang Dashuai. This attitude didn't seem right. He seemed to be afraid of something, but he also seemed to be worried about something. Lu Yin thought about how the white fatty kept talking about the escalade in front of him. Could this fatty have a grudge against the Smoke Cloud Sect and was trying to use him?
At that moment, a cloud landed beside them, and a discordant voice sounded out, "Isn't this Fatty Wang? How dare you come to my escalade?"
Lu Yin and the rest looked over and saw that the speaker was a young man. He was quite handsome, but his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had been hollowed out by wine and women, and his eyes were practically floating to the sky. He looked down on Lu Yin and the rest.
When the bearded man saw the young man, he hurried over and greeted him respectfully, "Sir."
Wang Dashuai shouted, "Grandson Yun, I'm here. What are you going to do about it?"
The young man sneered and looked at Wang Dashuai. "Nothing. I'm just telling you that this path is blocked."
"So what if it's blocked? Are you a toilet?"
"Fatty Wang, be careful with your words. This is the escalade, and it belongs to the Smoke Cloud Sect. Be careful or I'll throw you out."
"How dare you? I'm from the Wang family."
"Hmph, you think I don't know?
You introduced a stowaway to the Junior Ancestor, and the Wang family is about to remove you from the list. Who will stand up for you? "
"Try me if you dare."
"I'll try."
…
Xia Taili was excited and clenched her fists. She looked like she couldn't wait to argue.
Lu Yin nudged her. "Who's that guy?"
Xia Taili replied excitedly, "The Young Master of the Smoke Cloud Sect, Yun Yang. He's also Yun Tingting's cousin and has an extremely high status in the sect. People call him the Little Overlord of the Escalade. This fatty fought with him back then and caused the Wang family and the Smoke Cloud Sect to intervene. That's why he was sent to the Yin Mountain District."
Lu Yin understood now. No wonder the fatty had urged him to cause trouble for the escalade. There was also an old grudge. The Little Overlord of the Escalade?
What an arrogant title.
