Chou Huo replied coldly, "The crazy old man broke the rules, so he's willing to pay with his life. Four Void Transformation Realm corpse kings can buy his life, but they can't buy back the rules. These are the rules of my new inn."
"Look at these people, who doesn't want to leave?
Many of their enemies died long ago, and they can live freely in the Void God Spacetime for the rest of their lives. However, because of the rules, they can't leave and can only stay with the new inn until they die. Their lives are also lives. "
"Four Void Transformation Realm corpses can eliminate their hatred for the crazy old man for breaking the rules, but they can't continue to break the rules."
Lu Yin looked around. When the crazy old man was mentioned, everyone's eyes were filled with disgust and dissatisfaction. Who here didn't want to leave?
Were they really willing to wait for death here?
Waiting for death was more painful than dying, but they followed the rules and stayed here. This made them even more resentful of the crazy old man who didn't follow the rules.
Four Void Transformation Realm corpses was a huge price to pay. No matter how dissatisfied these people were, they could only endure it unless they could also say such arrogant words. However, this was already the limit. If they broke the rules again, the new inn's morale would drop.
Before coming here, Lu Yin had known that it would be difficult to take the crazy old man away, but now that he knew it was impossible. Even Xu Wuwei wouldn't be able to take the crazy old man away. This was the meaning of the new inn's existence, unless they destroyed it.
Chou Huo looked at Lu Yin, "Now, are you still willing to exchange four Void Transformation Realm corpse kings for the crazy old man's life?"
Xu Wuji pressed a hand on Lu Yin's shoulder, "Don't be rash."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Of course. Dealing with the Eternals is a matter of course. Even without the crazy old man, if possible, I would kill four, forty, or even four hundred Void Transformation Realm corpse kings."
Chou Huo's eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Yin with admiration, "Send my regards to Senior Xu Wuwei."
Lu Yin nodded.
Not long after, the two left the new inn.
"Xuan Qi, you're still too impulsive. How can the Eternals' Void Transformation Realm corpse kings be so easy to kill? They fled as soon as we arrived. Corpse kings have an advantage in a battle of the same realm, especially those who have learned the Corpse King Transformation. They're almost impossible to kill. If we run into the clones of those old monsters from the Seven Skygods, even we would have a headache," Xu Wuji reproached.
Lu Yin was helpless, "Senior, I had no choice.."
Xu Wuji was stunned. "I thought you were really that righteous."
I want to eradicate the Eternals, and I'll do everything in my power to do so, but I also want to live. "
Nothingness laughed heartily and tossed a bottle to Lu Yin, "That's more like it. I knew it wasn't like you to be so impulsive. You'll have to kill four Void Transformation Realm Corpse Kings in the end. That's not going to be easy."
Lu Yin sipped his drink. "I'll take it slow. Senior Chou Qiu didn't set a time limit, so maybe one day I'll get lucky and run into a few half-dead Corpse Kings. I might even be able to kill them all."
"In your dreams." Emptiness laughed.
Even though he hadn't been able to bring back the Crazy Old Man, he had tried his best.
After leaving the new inn, Lu Yin hurriedly went to the place where Chou Qiu Qiu had taken the Crazy Old Man away. There was a family there that was a descendant of the Hundred Family, a descendant of the Crazy Old Man's master. The Crazy Old Man had been keeping an eye on them for decades, all for the sake of Chou Qiu. Lu Yin had suspected that Chou Qiu had spread the news that the Crazy Old Man was in the Heaven's Reflection Manor to the new inn. He had wanted to lure the Crazy Old Man away before making a move on this family.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Yin realized that the possibility wasn't high. This family was just an ordinary person, so even if Chou Qiu had found out, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
Chou Qiu wasn't stupid, so he wouldn't be used.
No matter what, Lu Yin had to keep an eye on this family. He hadn't been able to bring the Crazy Old Man back, so he could only do his best to fulfill his promise.
The problem was that Lu Yin had wanted to bring the Crazy Old Man with him to the hyperspace dimension to face the spies. Bringing a Half-Ancestor with him would be a good way to fool the spies and prevent any unexplainable incidents. But now that the Crazy Old Man wasn't around, where would he find a Void Transformation Realm powerhouse?
A Half-Ancestor would be considered an expert in any parallel space-time. After all, there were far too few Progenitors, and even if there were more Half-Ancestors than Progenitors, there was a limit to how many of them there were.
It should be known that even the Heaven's Mirror Manor, which had Xu Wuji overseeing it, only had the Crazy Old Man hiding his Half-Ancestor cultivation.
Of course, there was another Half-Ancestor underground that no one knew about, not even the Crazy Old Man. That person should be the guardian of the Red Domain, and Xu Wuji hadn't even told Lu Yin about him.
Sometimes, a Half-Ancestor was even more difficult to find than a Progenitor. This was because a Progenitor had already reached the peak of the Progenitor realm, while a Half-Ancestor was still cultivating with the Progenitor realm as their goal. They simply didn't have enough time.
It would be very difficult for Lu Yin to find a Half-Ancestor to follow him by himself. Fortunately, the You family had timely invited Xuan Qi to the hyperspace dimension to assist in the search for the spies.
Xu Wuji returned to the Heaven's Mirror Manor and summoned everyone from the Heaven's Mirror Manor. This was the first time he had asked about the interrogation of the Void God's Mirror Manor's spies.
Ning Yue reported, "We didn't bring Yunwu back, and Yi Jun, the spy above her, only gave us a list of contacts. He didn't say anything else, and the same goes for Chengfen. The other spies did tell us about the situation, and we followed their instructions and continued to capture spies. However, we didn't gain much, and many of them escaped."
"All of the spies claimed to be under Cheng Kong's control."
Xu Wuji snorted. "Cheng Kong doesn't have the time to control so many people. At most, one or two of them are under Cheng Kong's control. Yi Jun and Chengfen are definitely hiding something. Continue the interrogation, and we have to pry open their mouths."
Lu Yin didn't know what Yi Jun was hiding, but he assumed that it wasn't anything too important. At most, it would implicate the spies in the Endless Battlefield. What Chengfen was hiding was the information that he had given Lu Yin about the location of Knowledgeable Stream, as well as the possibility that Lu Yin could enter it. Lu Yin had told Chengfen not to tell anyone about this, as Knowledgeable Stream was extremely important. It was related to the exchange of information between the Six Direction Association and the parallel space-time continuum. If possible, Lu Yin would look for that place in the future.
Of course, it wouldn't matter even if Chengfen told Lu Yin about it. Lu Yin was the acting Manor Head of the Heaven's Mirror Manor, and he had the authority to carry out his own plans.
"Xu Ji, how do you feel in the Heaven's Mirror Manor?"
Xu Wuji asked.
Xu Ji respectfully replied, "The Acting Manor Master is insightful. This junior has learned a lot from him."
Xu Wuji nodded. Xu Ji was a rare genius in the Void God Space-Time, and he had even met the Void Master before. No one could underestimate him.
Xu Wuji looked around before his gaze landed on Lu Yin. "I'm here today to tell you that the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor has invited Xuan Qi to assist in capturing spies. What do you think, Xuan Qi?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "The Six Direction Association is part of the Heaven's Mirror Manor. If the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor needs it, this subordinate will not refuse."
Xu Wuji continued, "The Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor's situation is different from the Void God Space-Time. The Heaven's Mirror Manor only exists in name, and the You family is also just a figurehead. I don't know why You Fang has invited you, but if you don't want to go, I'll help you turn him down."
Lu Yin hurriedly replied, "Capturing spies is what this junior wants to do the most. Many of the spies in the Void God Space-Time have already been eliminated, and the next task is to interrogate them. Even those who are suspected spies should be released so that the spies who escaped can return without worry.
While I'm free, I'll go to the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor to see if I can capture some spies to serve the humans. "
Xu Wuji thought about it. "Alright, as long as you're willing to go. You can choose who you want to bring with you."
Lu Yin said, "Guan Lao Da, Yu Pi, and Xu Ji."
"What about me?"
Xu Yue cried out.
Xu Ji scolded, "Little Yue, the Manor Head is here. Don't be impudent."
Xu Yue stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her head, but she still glanced at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin recalled her relationship with You Lele. "I'll bring you along as well."
Xu Yue was satisfied.
"Manor Head, we're lacking a Void-Transformation Realm powerhouse. The Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor isn't safe, and this junior doesn't want to lose his life there," Lu Yin said.
Xu Wuji's brows rose. "You want a Void-Transformation Realm to follow you?"
Lu Yin nodded. He wasn't worried that Xu Wuji would suspect him of the reason why he had gone to the new inn to look for the crazy old man. After all, who wouldn't want a Void-Transformation Realm powerhouse?
Xu Wuji rubbed his head. "A Void-Transformation Realm … that's a little troublesome. I'll go ask around and see who's willing to go with you, but don't get your hopes up. Most Void-Transformation Realm powerhouses want to break through."
Lu Yin replied, "There's nothing I can do if there's no one."
Xu Wuji left to find a Void-Transformation Realm powerhouse for Lu Yin to join the Heaven's Mirror Manor, even if it was only temporary.
However, the results were just as he had expected; not a single Void-Transformation Realm powerhouse was willing to join the Heaven's Mirror Manor. They were either busy cultivating or overseeing their own territories. No one had the time to accompany Lu Yin to the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor. In the end, Xu Wuji could only console Lu Yin and give him some resources.
Lu Yin shamelessly asked for the white energy source, but Xu Wuji immediately refused.
The white energy source was equivalent to a Half-Ancestor's power level, and it was quite expensive. Even if he was an extremely powerful powerhouse and had the face to buy it from the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor, he still had to pay a hefty price.
"If you're really worried, then don't go." Xu Wuji rolled his eyes.
Lu Yin was helpless. "Then forget it."
"Let me give you an idea. Since You Fang invited you to the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor, ask him for the white energy source. The You family should have some of that stuff," Xu Wuji said. He was just trying to trick Lu Yin. On the surface, there were only thirty white energy sources in the entire Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor.
Lu Yin couldn't take advantage of Xu Wuji, so he could only take Guan Lao Da, Yu Pi, Xu Ji, and Xu Yue with him to the Transdimensional Heaven's Mirror Manor.
At the same time, the You family formally submitted a proposal to invite Xuan Qi to assist the Heaven's Mirror Manor in capturing a spy. The committee didn't dare delay and quickly reported it to He Ran.
He Ran quickly agreed.
"Do you agree that Xuan Qi should get close to the You family?"
Uncle Mo asked.
He Ran's eyes were deep. "The You family's proposal is just a formality. Even if the committee rejects it, they'll still invite Xuan Qi."
"Will the You family openly oppose the committee?"
"I don't know. No one knows what the You family's background is. I just want to know Xuan Qi's stance."
"I'll bring him here."
"No need. Let's wait and see. Although the You family doesn't care about the committee, they've been quite courteous to me. I've schemed against them a few times, but they haven't retaliated. Perhaps they really did invite Xuan Qi because they're a spy. What about Bai Qian?
Has she been in contact with anyone from the You family recently? "
"No, I've been keeping an eye on her. I haven't had any contact with the You family at all. The You family has never interfered with this kind of competition."
