After hearing Cai Shu's words, Qing Chen replied, "I'll report this to the Governor. Bai Shaohong's death has nothing to do with these people. He wasn't someone the likes of Shang Qing could deal with, so he must have been killed by someone on the same level as him. The Frigid Immortal Sect will figure this out, but before that, don't let anyone take Shang Qing and Liu Tianmu away."
"Yes, Master."
At the same time, Lu Yin received a direct message from Shang Qing. "The Frigid Immortal Sect wants to take you away." Qing Chen didn't read the message.
Lu Yin ended the call. Before going to the Red Flower Garden, he had given Shang Qing Yu Die's contact information so that Shang Qing could keep track of the Frigid Immortal Sect's movements.
Now that Yu Die had sent a message to capture him, it seemed to have something to do with Yu Chen.
Lu Yin asked Qing Chen, "Superintendent, can we go to the Humble School of Huaiyuan first?"
Qing Chen replied, "Time is of the essence. We must reach Dragon Mountain before the Frigid Immortal Sect makes any arrangements."
Lu Yin replied bitterly, "I'm afraid it's already too late. If the Frigid Immortal Sect insists on capturing me, they must have already sent someone to wait for me at the end of the Bifrost Bridge."
Qing Chen fell silent.
"Superintendent, the jade pendant I used to contact Boundless is still in the Humble School of Huaiyuan. I might not be able to leave Dragon Mountain for a while, but capturing the Redback spy can't be delayed. I must go to the Humble School of Huaiyuan first and take the jade pendant."
Qing Chen thought about it. "Alright, let's change our route." He then stared at Lu Yin, "Remember, from now on, don't tell anyone about your whereabouts. Try not to let anyone know when you reach the Humble School of Huaiyuan."
Lu Yin nodded.
Not long after, he sent a message to Shang Qing and Liu Tianmu, telling them to wait in his room. At the same time, he asked Shang Qing to find the old man and find a way to hide it from Qing Chen.
A few days later, Lu Yin was brought to the Humble School of Huaiyuan by Qing Chen.
Looking at the spiraling water in the distance, Lu Yin knew that it would be difficult for him to return after leaving this place.
Bai Shaohong's death had been discovered, and it wouldn't be long before the Fourth Junior Ancestor escaped. After all, he had been trapped for more than a year.
He had to leave, not go to Dragon Mountain, but return to the Fifth Mainland.
As soon as Lu Yin stepped into his residence, Qing Chen waited outside to prevent anyone from discovering his whereabouts. He also met with Cai Shu.
In the room, Shang Qing, Liu Tianmu, Luoshen, and the old man were all present. Out of all of Lu Yin's acquaintances, only the white fatty was absent. Lu Yin had no plans of bringing him to the Fifth Mainland. After all, things had happened too quickly, and this fatty was quite unlucky.
When Lu Yin arrived, the old man immediately cut off the Shangqing trio and stared at Lu Yin. "Have you seen him?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
The old man narrowed his eyes. "What did the people in the river say?"
'How dare you barge into the Ancestor's territory? Are you courting death?
I'm going to wipe out your entire family, "Lu Yin replied.
The old man asked, "There was an old woman who used her arm as a blade. What did she say?"
'Don't worry, it's almost done. What else do you want to eat?
Fried Ice Fruit?
Grilled fish?
I'll do it, I'll do it, haha! '
The old man's expression changed, and he continued to ask questions about the madmen in the Red Garden. Lu Yin answered all of them without missing a single detail.
The old man closed his eyes and asked bitterly, "Is he really not there?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "Is that person really that important?
Didn't you say that you could confirm that he was in the Red Garden?
You don't seem to care that much about him. "
The old man was not in the mood to deal with Lu Yin, and he looked outside. "Looks like you've gotten yourself into big trouble."
Lu Yin replied, "I want to go back."
The old man sneered. "I can help you temporarily block Qingchen's perception of us, but it's impossible for you to escape. You won't be able to escape under his watch."
"You go and stop him," Lu Yin said.
The old man laughed. "Kid, what makes you think that this old man will help you?"
Lu Yin replied, "I know that going to the Red Garden is your ultimate goal. You want to find that person, and if he's not in the Red Garden, then I'm of no use to you."
"But have you thought about it?
I'm going to Dragon Mountain to become a disciple of the governor. He's a Progenitor, and my future is limitless. "
"You want to escape back to the Fifth Mainland? Why the hell would you want to become a disciple?" The old man rolled his eyes.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "I'll be back in the future."
"Then we'll talk about it in the future." The old man was not in a good mood. "I'm leaving. We'll meet again if fate wills it, kid."
Lu Yin looked up. "I know where he is."
The old man was stunned, and he looked at Lu Yin. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin answered, "I know where that person is."
The old man stared at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with unprecedented killing intent. "Kid, you're courting death."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "You don't believe me?"
"I've been looking for him for so many years, but I haven't heard anything about him. You've only met him once, and you already know where he is?
Do you really think that I'm an idiot? You were able to find a spy because of my information, and I was also the one who told you that Yun Mubai was a Redback. Kid, I'm warning you one last time: don't try to be smart, "the old man said sternly.
"He made me use the Arcane Art of Life and Death and made me recite numbers," Lu Yin said.
The old man, who had been about to leave, suddenly paused. He turned around and grabbed Lu Yin. "What did you say?
He made you recite numbers? "
Lu Yin confidently replied, "Not just numbers, but also words carved into the wall. I only managed to recite a few words before I fainted."
The old man's body trembled, and he stared at Lu Yin in agitation. "Recite them for me."
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I can't. The moment I do, I'll faint."
"A few words should be fine, right?" the old man asked sternly.
Lu Yin thought about it. "Shan Tong, this is the beginning."
The old man's eyes narrowed. Wrong! The beginning was not "Shan Tong," but in the middle was "Shan Tong." He had messed up the order. That's right, that's it. It's him, it's him! Only he knows.
"Where is he?" the old man asked nervously.
Lu Yin replied, "In the Abandoned Lands."
The old man frowned, as he did not believe him.
Lu Yin continued, "You know where I come from, and you've been searching this region for so many years. If he was here, how could you not have found him? How could I have seen him? He's in the Abandoned Lands. There's a planet in the Abandoned Lands, and there are many beasts living on it. There's a cave with a wall in the cave that he carved into it."
"Where is he?" the old man asked anxiously.
"He's dead."
"Impossible!" the old man could not believe it.
Lu Yin was helpless. "He's really dead. When I saw him, he couldn't even defeat an Explorer. He couldn't even protect his own grandson. They're all dead."
The old man's eyes flickered, and he lowered his hand as he muttered to himself, "Grandson?
Grandson?
He has a grandson? "
Lu Yin glanced outside, afraid that Qing Chen would arrive. He hurriedly said, "Listen, we were attacked by the ladder. I'll think of a way to escape to the agreed upon location. At that time, you'll have to come with me. If you don't go to the Abandoned Lands, you'll never find him." He then took out Mount Supreme and placed Shangqing, Liu Tianmu, and Luoshen inside without another word.
The old man looked at Lu Yin. "Alright, let's go to the Abandoned Lands together. You have to bring this old man to find him, or no one will be able to save you. There are no Progenitors in the Abandoned Lands, and this old man is invincible."
"Alright, alright." Lu Yin agreed to anything.
The old man left, avoiding Qing Chen.
Soon, Qing Chen also arrived. He was just outside.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and stared at the jade pendant in a daze.
Qing Chen saw it and felt strange, but he did not enter.
After a while, the Cloudconnect Stone vibrated, and Lu Yin accepted it. A person appeared, and it was Liu Shaoge.
"Long time no see, old friend," Lu Yin said with a faint smile.
Liu Shaoge looked at Lu Yin with a report from Yu Die in his hand. One of the reports read, "After parting at East San Dios, I miss you very much. Please contact me." Lu Yin had sent this information to Liu Shaoge through Yu Die. This was the only way he could contact Liu Shaoge, and he only hoped that Liu Shaoge would see it. Even if he did not, it did not matter. Besides Liu Shaoge, no one else would be able to understand it.
When Liu Shaoge saw this report, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. He had always thought that he was hiding in the shadows and had the initiative. He could betray Lu Yin at any time and even control his life.
Whether it was glory or having a Progenitor as his master, Lu Yin was finished as soon as Liu Shaoge opened his mouth. From beginning to end, Liu Shaoge had always felt superior.
However, this report sent him into the abyss. Lu Yin actually knew of his existence. When had he been exposed?
When had Lu Yin found out that he was at Jade Peak?
Liu Shaoge did not know any of this, and the moment he saw the report, he felt a chill run down his spine. He recalled how Lu Yin had stirred up so much chaos in the Fifth Mainland, and this feeling resurfaced.
"It's really been a long time," Liu Shaoge exclaimed as he looked at Lu Yin. "How did you find me?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "If I wanted to find you, I naturally found you. I could even find Redback, so how could I possibly find you?"
Liu Shaoge laughed. "Finding me is even harder than finding Redback."
"Not necessarily. After all, we've known each other for many years."
Liu Shaoge remained calm. "You're looking for me because you want to know about the Frigid Immortal Sect's movements?"
Lu Yin nodded. "If I'm captured, the first thing I'll do is expose you."
Liu Shaoge's brows rose. "So direct?"
"Very direct." Lu Yin smiled.
Liu Shaoge was rather unhappy, but he did not show it. "The Frigid Immortal Sect has sent out a Half-Progenitor and two experts with five Origin Tribulations. They're waiting for you on the path to Dragon Mountain, and what awaits you is the eternal fall of the Immortal Radish Flower."
Lu Yin clenched his fists, as he knew about the Immortal Radish Flower. "I need you to receive a report. Tell them that I've returned to the Humble Huaiyuan Sect."
Liu Shaoge's eyes flashed. "I know what to do. Are you sure you want to go to Dragon Mountain?"
"Of course. It's worth the risk to have a Progenitor as my master," Lu Yin said.
Liu Shaoge smiled and closed the Cloudvision Stone.
Lu Yin lowered his hand. Go to Dragon Mountain?
In the future, he would not tell anyone about his whereabouts, not even Liu Shaoge. He had only contacted Liu Shaoge as a precaution, but this precaution was not great. He still had one last trump card, and that was Mister Mu.
Mister Mu should be able to take him out of the Cosmic Trees, but Lu Yin recalled Mister Mu's words. Mister Mu had told him to find a way to leave on his own. Mister Mu would not abandon him?
