When he had been the Fourth Young Ancestor, Xia Shenfei had been addicted to alcohol and didn't care about anyone else. He had even been calm in front of Xia Shenji. However, he had hidden his identity and joined Realmless on the first day, and he had kept his gourd hidden until today. This kind of person was the most terrifying.
"The birds in the sky, the insects on the ground, and the people's hoes can be combined into a code that only Realmless assassins can understand. Even if an outsider lives in Wu Village for hundreds or even thousands of years, they won't be able to see through it. This is how Realmless communicates." Xia Shenfei took a sip of wine. "It's a pity to expose ourselves now, but if we don't, we'll only know about Wu Village unless we hide for thousands of years."
Xia Ziheng nodded. "I see."
Xia Shenfei tossed the book he had just been reading to Xia Ziheng. "This is what you wanted."
Xia Ziheng caught it and quickly read through it.
…
Wu Village's destruction wasn't a big deal to most of the people in the Astral Tree Realm, as these people couldn't come into contact with Realmless. Only the major powers were affected, such as an elder from the Frozen Immortal Sect, the Wang family, the White Dragon Clan, and even the Xia family. Other than that, many of the major powers in the Central Realm had also asked for Realmless' help.
All of this was in Shenwu Plane's hands, including Elder Qingxing's request.
At the same time, the Shenwu Academy also had information on Lu Yin's request to assassinate Xia Xing. From the beginning to the end, from the first word to the end, everything had been recorded. However, no one could recognize Lu Yin's disguise.
This was just the information on the assassination request. Realmless had divided the information into various categories, such as assassination requests, intelligence requests, and even information on suspected spy Redback.
In the Central Realm, outside the seed garden, Cai Shu arrived and captured a branch leader of the School of Family. She brought Nong Ya over.
"Cai Shu, what's the meaning of this?"
Nong Ya asked.
"Save me, Leader!" the branch leader cried out in fear.
The School of Family was different from the other families. As long as they recognized a branch, they lived around the seed garden. They weren't like the Xia family, who had branches in every district, or the Liu family, who could move around freely.
Cai Shu took out the information she had received from Shenwu Heaven. "Unbounded's headquarters have been destroyed, and the information clearly states that this person is suspected to be a spy. We need to bring him back for investigation."
Nong Ya looked at the information. It clearly stated when the branch chief had entrusted Wu Jie to assassinate someone. The person he had entrusted to assassinate was the branch chief of another branch of the Nong family. There was no reason. However, after Wu Jie killed the branch chief, that person said one sentence before he died, "You are spies."
The branch patriarch who was killed did not know that it was Unbounded who did it, but he was certain that there was a spy who assassinated him. It was obvious that there was a suspect. Combined with this person's entrusted mission, the possibility of this person being a spy was very high.
Nong Ya stared at the branch chief with an ugly expression.
The branch patriarch lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
"You're actually a spy!" Nong Ya gritted his teeth.
The branch chief hurriedly said, "No, I'm not a spy. I just want to fight over a piece of land with him. I'm not a spy."
"Who is that?"
Nong Ya shouted.
Cai Shu replied, "Chief Nong Ya, this person will be interrogated by the Humble School, so I'll take my leave first."
"Chief, save me! Chief!"
Nong Ya did not make a move. At this moment, the evidence was clear. The time, place, details of the entrusted mission, and even images were all there.
No, if even Wu Jie suspected that this person was a spy, then there was a high chance that this person was one.
The Shenwu Plane had released a lot of information, and almost all of the suspected spies had been handed over to the Humble School. They did not have the energy to deal with them, so they would deal with them on their own.
In a short ten days, the Starry Sky of the Trees was filled with a reign of terror. In the Middle Realm, the Humble School had wantonly captured batch after batch of people. Following that, Xia Shenfei's name spread. The Shenwu Plane could not do good deeds without leaving a name. Xia Shenfei had disguised himself as Wu Jie and allowed the Shenwu Plane to find Wu Jie's headquarters, causing a large number of spies to be captured. This shocking achievement was enough for Xia Shenfei to gain both fame and fortune.
A group of people from the Descending World's Root Organization had also been captured. Too many people trusted Wu Jie, and if they entrusted Wu Jie with a task, their identities would be easily discovered.
Of course, even more people would hide their identities and contact Wu Jie, just like Lu Yin. However, with Wu Jie's intelligence, it was easy to analyze these people's true identities.
The Middle Realm and Lower Realm were like this, and the Top Realm was not peaceful either. A group of people had been killed and another group had been captured, but there was still a group that they did not know how to deal with.
For example, someone from the White Dragon Clan had entrusted Wu Jie to assassinate a junior from the Wang family, and someone from the Frigid Immortal Sect had also entrusted Wu Jie to assassinate someone from the White Dragon Clan. There were too many such incidents. Not only that, but there were also people from the Four Way Scales who were colluding with Wu Jie. Among them, Lu Yin was most familiar with Wang Shang. He was actually one of Wu Jie's assassins and had the qualifications to know about the existence of Wu Village.
This angered the Wang family, but unfortunately, Wang Shang had gone to the abandoned land. Otherwise, he would definitely have been captured.
Aside from Wang Shang, the Frigid Immortal Sect, the Xia family, and the White Dragon Clan had all colluded with Wu Jie. In the end, they had even implicated the Broken Transaction Association.
The Broken Transaction Association had provided Wu Jie with funds and intelligence, and their methods of operation had been made public. This had infuriated the people in charge of the Four Way Scales.
It was indeed wrong for the Four Way Scales to banish the Lu family and ignore the overall situation of fighting against the Eternals, but that did not mean that they would not protect the humans.
After the Lu family had been banished, the Four Way Scales had taken over the rear battlefield. In their hearts, fighting against the Eternals was always their number one priority. Thus, the Shenwu Plane had not hidden the information about Wu Jie's suspected spy, Redback. Instead, they had handed it over to the Humble School so that they could take action as soon as possible and prevent these people from escaping. The Broken Transaction Association had also secretly controlled some of the resources on the rear battlefield so that some people would not participate in the battle and escape death. To the Four Way Scales, this was unforgivable.
After learning about the Broken Transaction Association, the Four Way Scales immediately took action and thoroughly investigated the rear battlefield, capturing everyone who was related to the Broken Transaction Association.
A single Wu Jie had caused the Astral Tree Realm to tremble.
…
Middle Realm, Yi Xian Academy. Dean Wen watched with mixed feelings as a teacher was captured by the Humble School. He was in a bad mood.
"I never thought that Mister Lian would be a spy." Mister Zheng was both angry and helpless.
Around them, many students saw this as well. "Mister Lian is such a good person, but he's also a spy. The Eternals are too hateful."
"Back then, I even asked Mister Lian to train with me, which cost me a lot of credits. Now that I think about it, it's terrifying."
"If even Redback can't tell, then anyone could be a spy. If Junior Ancestor Xia Shenfei hadn't hidden himself for twenty years and destroyed the Unbounded headquarters, these people would still be hiding. Xia Shenfei's contributions to humanity are too great."
"Only the Fourth Junior Ancestor can do this. Others would find it difficult to do so even if their cultivation surpassed the Fourth Junior Ancestor's. Back then, Xia Shenfei was addicted to alcohol, and twenty years ago, in order to hide in the Unbounded, he stopped drinking for twenty years. Who can compare to his willpower?"
"Yeah, the most hateful person is still Lu Xiaoxuan. If he hadn't killed Bai Shaohong …
Junior Ancestor Bai Shaohong might have done something great and become a Progenitor in the future. "
"Don't think about the Lu family. Do you want your brain to explode?"
"The Lu family was banished by the Four Way Scales because they colluded with the Eternals. Lu Xiaoxuan killed Bai Shaohong, and he's a Redback himself. He's too hateful."
…
Lu Yin was calm as he listened to the discussions around him. This was the power of the Four Way Scales. Once he controlled the Starry Sky Tree, after a few years, everyone would only remember that the Four Way Scales had confirmed that the Lu family had colluded with the Eternals, and not their past achievements.
If not for the Lu family, where would the Starry Sky Tree have come from?
Where would the stable Fifth Mainland have come from?
The Lu family would take responsibility for their merits and demerits.
"Mr. Haoyu, you're here." Nong Siniang found Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was conflicted. "Mr. Lian was taken away. I don't know if there are any other Redbacks in the academy."
Nong Siniang pursed her lips. "Someone from my Nong family was taken away as well. Spies are everywhere. It's scary."
Lu Yin smiled. "Don't worry. One day, humanity will chase away the Eternals and restore peace."
"That's right. Humanity will definitely do it." Wu Taibai walked over.
Bai Weiwei also appeared. "This will require humanity to work together."
The people around them kept talking, and one of them mentioned the Broken Peace Society.
Before this, very few people knew about the Broken Peace Society. Even Xia Zhitong had tried her best to join it, and its influence had even seeped into the back of the battlefield. But now, the Broken Peace Society was completely crippled. With the Four Way Scales' ability, it would be impossible for it to continue existing once it was noticed.
Lu Yin returned to the stone pillar with a solemn expression.
He had overlooked one thing: the nine clones.
Xia Shenfei had disguised himself and entered the Realmless, so it should be one of his clones. Then, as the sect master of the Shenwu Celestial Sect, Xia Xing, must have cultivated nine clones as well.
Had he captured Xia Xing's main body or a clone?
Regardless of whether it was the main body or the clone, the other Xia Xing should be able to sense him once he appeared.
Lu Yin rejoiced that he had not let him out after capturing him. Otherwise, if the Shenwu Celestial Sect knew his approximate location, he might not be able to hide it.
However, Xia Xing being locked up was not a good thing. He had to meet him and obtain the restrictions.
Right now, there was only one way to avoid detection by the Shenwu Celestial Sect, and that was to use the Time Stop Space.
Thinking about it, Lu Yin left Yi Xian Academy. On the surface, he was visiting Yu Chuan, but in reality, he was rolling his die.
In the Pinnacle Realm, Xia Ziheng, Xia Xing, Xia Shenfei, and the rest of the upper echelons of the Shenwu Celestial Sect were all looking at the image in front of them. The image showed Lu Yin's disguised appearance. He had used this appearance to ask the Realmless to assassinate Xia Xing.
"You still haven't found him?"
Xia Xing asked.
Someone answered, "No."
Xia Shenfei gulped down a mouthful of wine, "It's a disguise, it's very simple."
"He first placed the deposit in the Azure District, and the assassination location was at the border of Huaiyuan. These two districts are very far apart, so it's impossible to see anything." Xia Xing frowned.
A map of the Middle Realm appeared in the void.
"Distance isn't a problem for an absolute expert," Xia Ziheng said.
Xia Shenfei suddenly spoke up, "That Yu Hao that you suspected was at Yi Xian Academy?"
Xia Ziheng nodded, "We suspected him because he was the only one who knew that the Sect Master would go to the Middle Realm. At that time, he was also in the Azure Moon District, not far from the border of Huaiyuan."
