"How did you force the God of Forgetfulness to attack?"
The head judge asked. No matter how Lu Yin guessed, as long as he did not force Yuan Miaomiao to take action, then no one would be able to confirm that Yuan Miaomiao was the Forgotten Ruins God. Even Elder Chan would not be able to confirm this. This was also the greatest advantage that the Seven Skygods had in hiding in the Human Domain.
Lu Yin looked at the Deep Red Hell. "There's something there that would drive the Rookie Alliance crazy. It should be related to the Horn Star System incident."
When the head judge heard that, he immediately went in.
Lu Yin was not worried about his safety. Even the Seven Skygods could not do anything to the Head Inquisitor in this part of the universe, so there really was nothing that could threaten him.
The head inquisitor entered the Crimson Hell, leaving only Lu Yin and Kui Luo.
"Where's Madam Red?" Lu Yin asked.
Kui Luo looked at the Crimson Hell curiously and replied absent-mindedly, "I didn't bring it with me."
"What are you looking at?"
Kui Luo sighed. "If I remember correctly, that guy was Qing Ping."
Qing Ping was the Head Inquisitor's name. Lu Yin had only found out about it during the battle between the God of Forgotten Ruins and the Divine Gu Dynasty's Imperial Palace. No one had told him about it before, so he couldn't find out about it.
"How did you know?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Kui Luo sighed. "That guy is someone who managed to break through our region." He then looked at Lu Yin. "You've done it as well, so you should know that with the strength of your region, you won't be able to gain the slightest advantage in our region. Even the strongest person in your region can't compare to the top characters in our region."
"Are you talking about me and the Fourth Young Ancestor?"
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. "You're an exception. Besides, you're not from this part of the universe."
"I grew up and cultivated in this part of the universe," Lu Yin retorted.
Kui Luo was annoyed. "Do you still want to hear more?"
Lu Yin quickly shut his mouth.
Kui Luo snorted coldly. "Every once in a while, someone from the Abandoned Lands will sneak into the Starry Sky of the Trees to participate in the fight for Origin Items. This period of time is very long, so long that even Half-Martial Ancestors have forgotten about it. That's why they weren't too vigilant when you sneaked in because most people have forgotten."
"Qing Ping sneaked into the Starry Sky of Trees last time. Actually, no one knows about him, except for the Lu family."
"You don't know about the Frigid Immortal Sect?"
Kui Luo shook his head. "I don't think so. He went to the Starry Sky of the Trees because he was discovered by the successor of the Lu Family. The two of them fought a great battle."
Lu Yin's eyes widened as he stared at Kui Luo.
Kui Luo glanced at him. "Qing Ping won."
Lu Yin was not surprised, as that was the head inquisitor who had been accepted as a disciple by Mister Mu. Even though he was not even a Half-Ancestor, he was not at a disadvantage against the Seven Skygods, and he dared to judge anyone. Even if the Lu family's inheritor had many resources, unparalleled techniques, and unparalleled innate gifts, he still might not be able to gain the upper hand.
Just like during the Supreme Battle, if not for the God of Death Transformation, even if he executed the General Appointing Platform, he still wouldn't be a match for the Prime Clear lineage.
Shang Qing, just like Qing Ping back then.
"How did you know?" Lu Yin asked.
Kui Luo continued, "The Lu Clan's history books have records of him. I only remembered him because of his innate talent. Back then, the Lu Clan's successor said that he was the fifth genius of the Lu Clan — the Judgement of Peace. I never thought that I'd be able to fight alongside him one day. I was already an Emissary back then, and my seniority far exceeded theirs."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Can you tell me more about the Lu Clan?"
Kui Luo sighed. "It's best if you understand the Lu Clan on your own. All I can say is that the Lu Clan is domineering, but also gentle.
Their descendants are each more arrogant than the last, but they're also more … "Kui Luo paused for a moment before continuing," Reasonable. "
"Reasonable?" Lu Yin was puzzled. How could these words be related to domineering?
Kui Luo thought hard about it. "How should I put it? They have their own reasons. I remember that one of your Lu Clan's ancestors once said that everything recorded in the books was bullshit, and that we should just listen to him."
Lu Yin blinked. He liked this saying, as everyone in the Great Eastern Alliance had to listen to him. Only his words were reasonable.
"What about my parents?
You should know my parents, right? How are they?
Do I have any direct relatives?
There's also my Lu Clan's ancestor, my sworn brothers, the Seven Heroes, and I- "" Alright, alright. You can find out about these things yourself. How would I know about you brats? "
Kui Luo was rather impatient.
"What about my parents?" Lu Yin asked, looking at Kui Luo expectantly.
Kui Luo swallowed and looked deeply at Lu Yin. "Your father is a shameless bastard."
Lu Yin was stunned and lost.
"Anyway, remember, don't learn from your father. He's a scoundrel," Kui Luo said hatefully.
"Why?" Lu Yin asked subconsciously.
Kui Luo gritted his teeth. "Why?
Let's not talk about anything else. The simplest example is that your father forcefully took your mother away from you when she was getting married. The reason was that he wanted her to give birth to more children. "
Lu Yin was at a loss. Give birth to more children?
"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't look for me if there's nothing else. Right, there'll be a good show soon. Those fellows from the Sixth Mainland have a lot of secrets. Interesting, hahaha!" Kui Luo laughed as he left.
Lu Yin still had three words in his mind: give birth to more children.
…
Lu Yin waited outside the Crimson Hell for a full three days before the head inquisitor arrived.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed when he saw the giant black crystal in front of him, and he hurried forward. "Senior Brother, this looks similar to the black crystal fragment from Cape Galaxy."
The head inquisitor's tone was solemn. "This is a serious matter. I'll take my leave."
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment.
Before leaving, the head inquisitor said, "Old Man Cangqiong was killed by the God of Forgotten Ruins. From the traces left behind, Old Man Cangqiong was unprepared." He then vanished with the black crystal.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. Unprepared?
This meant that the God of Forgotten Ruins and Old Man Cangqiong either knew each other, or the God of Forgotten Ruins knew Old Man Cangqiong through another identity.
The Seven Skygods' disguise was too terrifying; even the Celestial Imprint could not detect it.
Following Old Man Cangqiong's death, the entire universe was on guard against the Neohuman Alliance. Lu Yin's main concern was whether Yuan Miaomiao — no, whether the God of Forgotten Ruins had informed the Eternal Kingdom about this. If the Neohuman Alliance found out, then the war might shift from the western weaves of the Outerverse to the Neoverse.
His gadget beeped, and Lu Yin looked over to see that it was the head inquisitor.
"Have the Great Eastern Alliance search the universe for this black crystal. As long as they find it, they can request anything from the Hall of Honor. The Deep Red Hell's black crystal and the death of the God of Forgotten Ruins will count as your contributions. The Liu Emperor's identity can be revealed, but he must not be revealed to have been imprisoned in Kun Ze."
Lu Yin's heart sank. The head inquisitor's senior brother knew about Kun Ze, so it could not have been before. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have captured the Liu Emperor and the Second Nightking long ago.
Could it have been at the Shengu Dynasty's palace?
The Second Nightking had pretended to attack Lu Yin, and his senior brother had already arrived at that time. However, he had remained hidden, which made sense. Otherwise, how could there have been such a coincidence that the God of Forgotten Ruins had attacked Lu Yin just as his senior brother had appeared?
Because of the God of Forgotten Ruins, his senior brother had not captured the Second Nightking even when he had discovered him.
During the attack at the palace, while others might not have been able to tell, his senior brother had been able to tell that the Second Nightking had not truly wanted to kill Lu Yin. From this, he had deduced that the Kun Ze incident had something to do with Lu Yin. Although he had not been the mastermind, he had still managed to capture the Second Nightking, the Liu Emperor, and Shui Chuanxiao.
Lu Yin relaxed. If he had not forced the God of Forgotten Ruins and helped his senior brother obtain the black crystal, then the Second Nightking and the others would definitely have been captured. Lu Yin himself might have even been put on trial, which would have been troublesome.
Now that the Second Nightking and the others' identities could be revealed, Lu Yin would be able to do many things.
If Young Empress Qing knew that the Second Nightking was one of Lu Yin's subordinates, she would probably die of anger.
Half a month later, Lu Yin returned to the Ross Empire's stronghold and saw the imprisoned Ling Qiu and the others. The Second Nightking had returned earlier than him.
Lu Yin was now most curious about Ling Taizu.
The Lingling clan actually had such a powerhouse whose power level was not much weaker than Liu Qianjue's. No one had known about this before.
Ling Taizu also saw Lu Yin, and his gaze was calm.
"Are you surprised?" Lu Yin asked.
Ling Taizu calmly asked, "What are you surprised about?"
"Seniors like you often feel emotional when you see me," Lu Yin said.
Ling Taizu laughed. "The universe is full of ups and downs. I've seen a lot, and I've gotten over it."
"Seen a lot?"
"Life and death are indifferent, let alone other things." He then glanced at the Second Nightking standing behind Lu Yin. "This one looks familiar."
Lu Yin smiled. "Try to recall. Maybe I'll remember."
Ling Taizu stared at the Second Nightking for a while, and then his eyes widened in disbelief. "The Second … the Second Nightking?"
Lu Yin laughed. "So even a senior can be surprised."
Ling Taizu was shocked. "The Second Nightking?
You're really the Second Nightking? "
He looked at Lu Yin. "Why would the Second Nightking follow you?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "The universe is full of ups and downs, and you've seen all sorts of inconceivable things. Why are you so surprised? I can also tell you that when you fought Liu Qianjue, you were injured by a sword. That sword came from Emperor Liu."
Ling Taizu's pupils shrank. He had been injured by Emperor Liu in that battle, and he had been wondering who had attacked him. He knew that it had been a powerhouse from the Sword Sect, but he had not expected it to be Emperor Liu.
Of course, he knew of Emperor Liu's name. He was the Sword Sect's greatest genius, and even after his death, he had left his name in the annals of the various powers.
"Shouldn't Emperor Liu be dead?
Could it be …? "
Ling Taizu thought that the Sword Sect was deliberately hiding their powerhouses.
Lu Yin smiled. "You're not even surprised that the Sword Sect helped me, but you're surprised that the Second Nightking and Emperor Liu are involved. It seems that senior values cultivation more than anything else. This junior is impressed."
Ling Taizu was shocked. "Alliance Master Lu, I just want to know how you managed to get the Second Nightking to help you."
The Second Nightking was not surprised by Ling Taizu's reaction. Anyone who knew of his identity would react this way, and he was already used to it.
Although Ling Taizu was old, he was much younger than the Second Nightking in terms of seniority.
Lu Yin smiled and waved a hand. Ling Qiu, Mountain God, Abel Phoenix, Liu Qianjue, Madam You, and Emperor Liu all appeared. This small area had gathered nearly ten Envoys, and there were even supreme powerhouses like the Second Nightking and Emperor Liu.
