Lu Yin stopped him, and Yunyang frowned. He wanted to speed up and leave, but he wasn't as fast as Lu Yin and was blocked in front of him.
Around them, the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples glared at Lu Yin warily and angrily. The fatty's heart skipped a beat; he was still looking for trouble at this time?
In the distance, Cai Shu was also stunned. Looking for trouble at this time would be too conspicuous. She was very sure that the Four Way Scales were watching the cloud ladder, afraid that the matter of the astral origin fluid would be leaked. Whoever looked for trouble at this time would be the unlucky one.
"What are you doing?" Yunyang gritted his teeth as he stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why are you running?"
Yunyang growled, "Third Elder is already dead. If you don't want to die, scram."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "Because of the starsource liquid?"
Yunyang's face paled when he heard this. The only reason he could continue to stay on the cloud ladder was because he knew about the starsource liquid. Previously, this matter had been handled by Third Elder Yun, but Sirius's source liquid had been exposed yesterday, causing the Frigid Immortal Sect to suffer great losses. Third Elder Yun had been executed, and in order to prevent more people from finding out about the starsource liquid, Yunyang, who was familiar with the cloud ladder, had been arranged to replace Third Elder Yun here.
Actually, he didn't want to replace Third Elder Yun even if he was beaten to death, but he had no choice.
If anyone dared to mention the starsource liquid in front of him, he would fight to the death. He was certain that if something went wrong, he would be the first to die.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. You still dare to say those words?" Yunyang growled as he subconsciously looked around. He couldn't help but order the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples to retreat further away.
"What words?
Starsource liquid? "
Lu Yin found it funny, as this fellow was truly frightened. However, he had also seen the severity of this matter. A dignified elder of the Misty Cloud Sect had actually died because the starsource liquid had been exposed.
Yunyang gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. "What do you want, Long Seven?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "Nothing, I'm just curious why you're running."
Yun Yang was silent as he stared at him. He was really afraid of this person. He had spoken without thinking. Did this guy not understand the seriousness of this matter?
Lu Yin didn't continue scaring Yunyang, and he continued to lead Fatty Bai and the others up the ladder. Yunyang had originally wanted to hide, but when he saw Lu Yin, it was as if he had seen a ghost. However, he suddenly thought of something, and his face turned even paler. In the end, he kept a distance from Lu Yin's group, as if he was guarding against a thief.
Not long after, the Emissary from the Smoke Cloud Sect appeared and exchanged a few words with Yunyang. He then stared at Lu Yin's group with vigilance.
The Envoys stared at Lu Yin's group for an entire day, only stopping when they left the escalator.
On the third day, Lu Yin came again and continued to tour the ladder.
Yun Yang and the Emissary level expert continued to watch for the whole day.
The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day … Until a week had passed, Lu Yin strolled the ladder every day. Xia Taili had long since become impatient, or perhaps he had some misgivings, so he stopped coming on the fifth day. Fatty Bai didn't want to come either, but Lu Yin had dragged him along. Yun Yang hated Lu Yin to death, and whenever Lu Yin appeared, he would stare at him like he was guarding against a thief.
The Emissary from the Smoke Cloud Sect was just as sullen. He was an Emissary, not a bodyguard. Every time Lu Yin's group came, he had to watch from afar.
Yun Yang really wanted to grab Lu Yin and beat him up to ask him why he was so fixated on the ladder.
Cai Shu also wanted to ask Lu Yin why he was so fixated on the ladder, but Lu Yin was the sect master of the Humble Huaiyuan School. No one could interfere with his actions. Even Qingchen, the Superintendent of the Nine Gates, couldn't casually interfere with the actions of other sect masters.
On this day, Lu Yin continued to stroll the ladder. Fatty Bai was already numb, "Brother, where is the spy you were talking about?"
Lu Yin seriously replied, "I've already been watching him for more than ten days. Don't worry, there will be a result soon."
Fatty Bai rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that Lu Yin had been able to capture anyone he saw back in the Yin Mountain Region. He had never cared about anything, and even after the starsource liquid had been exposed, he had still dared to stroll around casually. When he saw Yun Yang, he had greeted him with the words "starsource liquid", which had scared Yun Yang even further away.
Fatty Bai guessed that it was because the Smoke Cloud Sect's offerings hadn't been filial. In fact, Fatty Bai was also bewildered. How could the Smoke Cloud Sect be so blind that they hadn't even offered up their offerings?
Fatty Bai couldn't help but remind Yun Yang.
Yun Yang had no other choice. The sect master was in seclusion, and this matter could only be decided after he came out. Fatty Bai had already explained to Lu Yin, but Lu Yin had pretended not to understand.
Lu Yin leaped onto a cloud continent, and Fatty Bai and the rest numbly followed him. In the distance, Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at the Smoke Cloud Sect's Emissary, Uncle Kuang.
Uncle Kuang's eyes narrowed, and his fingers subconsciously twitched.
Lu Yin walked calmly, and it seemed like he wanted to go to the next cloud continent. He had done this every day for the past ten days.
However, this time, Lu Yin stopped in front of a man on a cloud continent and smiled at him.
Seeing this, Uncle Kuang knew that things weren't good, and he immediately attacked. Lu Yin seemed to have been prepared for this, and he took out the Flying Willow Leaves.
The Flying Willow Leaves was a defensive power vessel that Mister Liu Ye had given to him. Now that the circle had been destroyed in the Sovereign Realm, this defensive power vessel had come in handy.
The Flying Willow Leaves was just as its name suggested. The moment it appeared, it formed a phantom of a willow leaf that revolved around its body. A flower bloomed on the willow leaf, and it was very beautiful.
Uncle Kuang tore through the void and grabbed at the man beside Lu Yin, but the Flying Willow Leaves blocked his advance.
Even Cai Shu, who was in the distance, couldn't react to this unforeseen event. She didn't understand why Uncle Kuang had attacked, and she also didn't understand how Lu Yin had reacted so quickly and taken out a defensive power vessel.
Although the Flying Willow Leaves had blocked Uncle Kuang's attack, the shockwaves from the attack pushed the Shangqing Elders away and even caused the cloud continent beneath them to crack.
Lu Yin grabbed the man, and the man subconsciously resisted. However, he was an Enlighter, so how could he resist Lu Yin? Lu Yin easily grabbed him.
Cai Shu walked out of the void and blocked Lu Yin's path. Uncle Kuang appeared at the same time and stared at Lu Yin with bloodshot eyes. "Let him go."
Cai Shu looked at Lu Yin suspiciously, as she had a bad premonition.
Lu Yin grabbed the man tightly. "I'm sorry, but you want me to release this spy?"
Uncle Kuang barked, "He's an honored guest of the Smoke Cloud Sect, not a spy."
Yun Yang rushed over anxiously. His face was pale. "Long Qi, let him go. Let him go quickly."
Lu Yin glared at him. "I'm sure that this person is up to no good. He might be a spy. Why is the Smoke Cloud Sect stopping me from capturing him?"
The void around Uncle Kuang's body distorted, and he was clearly on the verge of exploding.
Yunyang turned to look at Cai Shu. "This person is the same as the one from ten days ago. Please let him go."
Cai Shu was shocked, as it was yet another person who had been transporting Astral Fluid. She looked at Lu Yin. "Long Seven, let him go. Don't touch him."
Lu Yin frowned. "Senior, there's something wrong with this person." He then exerted some force with his palm and used Overlaying Stacks to force the man to the ground. The man roared in pain, "Kid, let me go! You're courting death!"
Lu Yin slapped him, and the man was almost stunned. He felt dizzy.
Uncle Kuang grew anxious. "Junior, you're courting death."
Cai Shu's face twitched, and she grew anxious as well. "Long Seven, you really can't touch this person. Did you forget what I said?"
Behind them, the white fatty's heart was pounding. It was happening again! He wanted to return to Junior Progenitor Planet, and even being beaten up was better than dying. Why was this Long Seven targeting Astral Fluid? He was too bold and courting death.
Shang Qing's eyes flashed; it was about time.
Lu Yin frowned and looked at Cai Shu in astonishment. "Senior, are you saying that this person is also transporting —" "Long Seven!" Yunyang and Uncle Kuang shouted at the same time, stopping Lu Yin from continuing.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Really?
Based on my ability to see through people, I'm sure that there's something wrong with this guy. "
Uncle Kuang anxiously replied, "That's him! Don't make a mistake! Let him go!"
Lu Yin looked at Yunyang, who was on the verge of tears. "Long Seven, let him go! We don't want to die, so just state your conditions."
He then looked at Cai Shu, who nodded.
Lu Yin exhaled and released his grip. "Looks like he really is a transport!" "Long Seven!" the rest shouted again.
Lu Yin rubbed his ears and kicked the man away. "Alright, how would I know?" He paused and looked at Yunyang and the rest's flushed faces. "It's a misunderstanding."
Yunyang and Uncle Kuang heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Long Seven wasn't stupid, and he wasn't looking for trouble with the Astral Fluid. Once he knew that they were transporting Astral Fluid, he immediately released them. Only an idiot would look for trouble with the Astral Fluid. They had worried for nothing, but now that the person transporting the Astral Fluid was fine, Long Seven wouldn't dare to do anything.
Cai Shu also heaved a sigh of relief, but she still looked at Lu Yin in astonishment. How had he known that there was something wrong with that person?
Ever since the incident that had occurred more than ten days ago, anyone who searched through a cosmic ring would have their line of sight blocked, as they were afraid that some special individuals would be discovered. However, Lu Yin had his domain, and of course, the materials that blocked his line of sight were not something that his domain could penetrate. He relied on his domain to observe people.
Previously, his die's Possession had fused with Three Liang from the Fifth Mainland's Glory Mountain. Three Liang was a genius, and he had studied psychology for many years. He had a rather accurate understanding of people's movements, and Lu Yin had seen through his memories and understood some things.
He used his domain to observe the Smoke Cloud Sect's disciples and found that they were rather respectful towards that man. Even if they didn't show it, their subtle movements couldn't escape Lu Yin's notice. It was from this that Lu Yin was certain that there was something wrong with that man.
However, there had been a gamble involved, but it didn't matter. No one would say anything even if he lost the gamble. At worst, he could just capture the man and interrogate him before releasing him.
Still, he had won the gamble.
Lu Yin released the man, and everyone was happy. The white fatty patted his chest and relaxed.
The man was furious after being kicked away by Lu Yin, and he turned around to curse at Lu Yin. However, he was stopped by Uncle Kuang, who whispered something to him. The man's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yin as if he was looking at a god of plague. He didn't say anything and directly left for another cloud continent.
Clearly, he had been frightened.
