Lu Yin wasn't worried about Qing Chen, as even if Qing Chen had asked him to release them, he wouldn't have done so. The Misty Cloud Sect was definitely harboring spies.
When Yun Mubai received the news, he was furious, and the entire Misty Cloud Sect was shaken. "Damn it!" He immediately left the sect and headed for the ladder.
At the same time, the Four Cardinal Scales also received the news.
No one had expected that Lu Yin would once again detain the people transporting the astral fluid. This time, one of them was from the Wang family, and the other was from the White Dragon Clan.
When Yun Mubai arrived at the ladder, the two sides were in a standoff.
He angrily shouted, "Long Seven, release them!"
Lu Yin remained vigilant and said to Cai Shu, "Senior, he's definitely the biggest redback. Stop him."
Cai Shu naturally trusted Lu Yin even more, as she was certain that the unknown source of information behind Lu Yin was true. She thought about the three Guan brothers being redbacks, and her gaze towards Yun Mubai changed.
The most anxious thing was that she couldn't contact her master, and she didn't know where he had gone.
"Cai Shu, do you want to become public enemies?
Release them! They're transporting astral fluid! "Yun Mubai shouted, isolating himself from the threat.
Lu Yin loudly replied, "The astral fluid in their cosmic rings is fake. This is the Misty Cloud Sect's way of sending spies into the Top Realm."
"Long Seven, what are you trying to do?
Do you want to become the mortal enemy of the Four Cardinal Scales? "Yun Mubai was furious, and his gaze towards Lu Yin was filled with unprecedented killing intent.
Previously, the loss of astral fluid had led to the death of one of the Cloud Sect's elders, and he had also been under pressure. Now, there were two of them, and he couldn't allow any more accidents to happen.
"Stop pretending, Yun Mubai. I think you're the biggest redback. You killed someone in front of me two months ago, and you don't seem to be unfamiliar with it at all. You're just like how Guan Tong used creatures from the Lower Realm to destroy Crimson Orchid City. No one would believe you if you said you weren't a redback!"
Yun Mubai was furious. He had killed the chicken to warn the monkey, but now, he was being attacked instead.
At that moment, the Cloudpass Stone on Lu Yin's wrist vibrated, and he immediately rejected it.
Yun Mubai gritted his teeth, "A senior from the White Dragon Clan is contacting you. He wants to tell you who these two are."
"Even if I offend my own clan, I, Long Seven, won't let a spy go. I'm certain that these two are spies."
Yun Mubai was really speechless. It didn't make sense.
Cai Shu said, "Let's take these people to the Humble Class' headquarters. We'll release them after we confirm that they're really the ones transporting the Astral Liquid."
This method was the least likely to cause conflict, but Yun Mubai rejected it as soon as it was mentioned. The impact of transporting the Astral Origin Liquid was too great. Once it was brought to the Humble Class, no one knew what would happen. More importantly, who knew if there were any Red Backs in the Humble Class of Huaiyuan? Once the Red Backs exposed this matter, it would be a huge blow to the balance of power.
More importantly, the dignity of the Four Way Scales was not to be challenged.
There couldn't be any problems with the transportation of astral origin liquid.
At this moment, Yun Mu's White Cloud Stone trembled. He glanced at it, and there were only two words — snatching people.
He knew who the person who sent him the message was. Since he had sent such a message, it meant that he had already made preparations. With that person's status, the Humble Class could not do anything to him.
When he thought of this, he decisively made his move. The smoke transformed into a giant palm that crushed down on Lu Yin and the others, instantly suppressing the star energy beneath the ladder. Even the star energy within Lu Yin's body became unstable and began to overflow.
Lu Yin barked, "Trying to steal her? You really are a redback."
Cai Shu acted. "Yun Mubai, stop!"
Cai Shu was a powerhouse who had survived three Origin Tribulations, while Yun Mubai was a powerhouse who had been through three Origin Tribulations.
Although Lu Yin did not know his exact strength, if he dared to snatch someone in front of Cai Shu, then he was definitely not weak.
The void exploded, and even the willow leaves around Lu Yin trembled. All he could see were cracks in the void. Cai Shu and Yun Mubai roamed around the edges of the void, one surrounded by smoke and the other with palm shadows. Their attacks were earth-shattering and earth-shattering.
Uncle Kuang roared, and his arms suddenly swelled up like the arms of a giant ape. He punched out, causing the void to crack as he viciously punched the willow leaves. The willow leaves were strong enough to withstand an attack from an Emissary, but they were still inanimate objects, and cracks began to appear after three punches.
Fatty Bai, Yun Yang, and the rest were all sent flying by the violent wind.
Liu Tianmu stabbed out with his Twelfth Sword, Profound Intent.
Bang! The Profound Intent sword was formless and formless. Although it was not as certain as the Thirteenth Sword, it was still extremely swift and fierce, and it caused Uncle Kuang to raise his eyebrows.
However, the Twelfth Sword relied on star energy, and the moment the longsword stabbed out, Liu Tianmu's star energy was disturbed, causing him to be unable to stabilize his attack.
Both of Uncle Kuang's fists landed on the willow leaves at the same time, finally shattering them. He was greeted by the sight of an umbrella, which was the Spiritvoid Umbrella that Shangqing had obtained from the Spiritvoid Temple.
Shangqing was unable to fully display the umbrella's might with her strength, but it was still a half-Ancestor-level power vessel, and its defenses were not something that an Emissary could break through. Uncle Kuang's fists landed on the umbrella, and a huge force pushed Lu Yin and the rest away.
Shangqing grunted, having been lightly injured.
Liu Tianmu looked up and moved his sword, unleashing the Thirteenth Sword.
Uncle Kuang was about to give chase when he suddenly looked stunned. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at his heart in disbelief. He had been injured?
How was this possible?
Liu Tianmu's face paled.
Lu Yin growled, "Let's go." He then grabbed the other two and headed east.
Uncle Kuang gritted his teeth and tore through the void with both hands. He stepped through, and a terrifying aura appeared above everyone's heads.
Lu Yin frowned, as an Emissary was a whole new level. An astral source suppressed star energy too much, and even someone like him, who had reached the World Realm in terms of star energy control, found it difficult to deal with, let alone Shangqing and Liu Tianmu. Given their power levels, they could unleash attacks that would cause an Emissary to raise her eyebrows, and they could even injure her. However, facing an Emissary head-on was too disadvantageous for them.
Uncle Kuang might not be as strong as Crimson Lord, but Crimson Lord had been injured at the time and had not been able to unleash the full power of an Emissary. Even so, Lu Yin had almost failed when he had used his full strength. Now, the three of them might be able to defeat Uncle Kuang if they worked together, but they could not use their full strength.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had already anticipated this situation. He had Shangqing use the Spiritvoid Umbrella to block Uncle Kuang while he contacted the Fourteenth Gate's members. This was the authority that the Fourteenth Gate's leader had given him.
There was a loud boom as Uncle Kuang slammed down, tearing through the void as he viciously smashed into the group.
Shangqing used the Spiritvoid Umbrella to block Uncle Kuang's attack, and he almost could not help but use the Three Yang Ancestral Qi.
Lu Yin raised a hand, and the seaweed power vessel appeared along his arm and wrapped around Uncle Kuang. Uncle Kuang did not mind and wanted to destroy it, but the seaweed power vessel had been upgraded by Lu Yin and was now different from when Xia Taili had used it. Uncle Kuang's strength was unable to destroy it, and the seaweed power vessel wrapped around his legs before he was ruthlessly flung away.
Around them, the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples surrounded them, and there was no lack of Enlighters among them.
Liu Tianmu swept out with his sword, and no one dared to take the attack head-on.
Smoke appeared in all directions from the Cloud Continent, and it transformed into a cage that trapped Lu Yin and the others. This was the cloud ladder, the Misty Cloud Sect's home ground.
Lu Yin had no choice but to take out the walnut power vessel. "Everyone, get behind me." He then raised the walnut power vessel.
It was a treasure.
Uncle Kuang saw it from a distance. Although he did not know what the walnut power vessel was, he immediately felt his scalp go numb. After cultivating for so many years, he had an instinctive sense for danger, and he did not hesitate to flee.
The next moment, the walnut power vessel exploded, and the void suddenly compressed before exploding.
Beneath the cloud ladder, the ground split apart, and the void began to crack. The cracks extended towards the mother tree and everything in the surroundings.
Countless people wailed as they tried to escape.
Even Cai Shu and Yun Mubai were shocked, as they had not expected Lu Yin to take out such a terrifying power vessel.
The walnut power vessel cut off Uncle Kuang's pursuit, and Lu Yin, Shangqing, and the rest quickly fled towards the east.
By the time the walnut power vessel's attack dissipated, Lu Yin's group had already disappeared.
Yun Mubai was furious. "Chase after them! We must get them back!"
"Yun Mubai, are you really a redback?" Cai Shu glared at him.
Yun Mubai gritted his teeth and glared at Cai Shu. "I'm not! Don't slander me!"
At that moment, the Cloudconnect Stone in Cai Shu's hand vibrated; Qing Chen had contacted him.
He hurriedly answered, "Master, Long Seven caught two spies. The Misty Cloud Sect is trying to snatch them."
Qing Chen was shocked. "The Misty Cloud Sect is trying to snatch spies?"
On the other side, Yun Mubai roared, "Senior Qing Chen, those two are transporting Astral Elixir for the Wang family and the White Dragon Clan. They're not spies! Nothing must happen to them!"
Cai Shu replied seriously, "It was revealed by the unknown source behind Long Seven. Long Seven is certain that the Misty Cloud Sect is hiding a redback, and we must capture those two spies. He also said that the Misty Cloud Sect often uses transporting Astral Elixir as an excuse to send spies to the Top Realm."
"Nonsense!" Yun Mubai roared. He was about to go crazy, and he felt as if the entire Humble School had wronged him.
Qing Chen's head hurt; how could something like this have happened?
The Witch Spirit had not been lured out, and troublesome things were happening one after another. Qing Chen was not sure what was going on, so he could only say, "Don't let anything happen to Long Seven. Control those two spies."
"They're not spies!" Yun Mubai roared.
Cai Shu answered, "Yes, Master. I'll hold Yun Mubai back."
On the other side, Yun Mubai was about to vomit blood. If Qing Chen was certain that Long Seven's words were true, then he really had been wrongly accused. He had never thought that the day would come when he, the Misty Cloud Sect's sect master, would be wrongly accused.
The Misty Cloud Sect was not the only force protecting the area under the cloud ladder; there was also the Four Way Scales hidden within.
When Lu Yin had used the walnut power source treasure to break through the Misty Cloud Sect's force that had trapped them, the entire Misty Cloud Sect, along with those hidden forces, had formed an inescapable net that surrounded Lu Yin and the others.
No matter how they tried to escape, they would not be able to escape. This was the door to the Four Way Scales.
Lu Yin had expected that the force protecting the area under the cloud ladder would be terrifying, but he had not expected that there would be two Light Emissary level experts. Other than Uncle Kuang, there was also a fierce-looking woman.
The void cracked, and the strange weapon in the woman's hand transformed into countless snakes that tore at them from all directions. The Shang Qing's Spiritvoid Umbrella could defend in one direction, but it could not defend in all directions.
Lu Yin and Liu Tianmu attacked together. Fortunately, these small snakes were not power source treasures and were merely in the form of weapons, so they were easily destroyed.
However, the woman appeared from the belly of one of the small snakes and raised her hand to form a claw, grabbing at Liu Tianmu.
