Chen Le's disciple replied, "Master just went out to pick some things, and it wasn't convenient for him to tell you before. Now that he's back, I can tell you, but Master ordered that no one is to disturb him. If you're willing, I can pass on the message. If it's not convenient, you can just wait a few days."
Lu Yin smiled, "It's nothing, I just wanted to visit. I'll wait for Chen Le to come again when he's free." With that, he left.
After Lu Yin left, Chen Le's disciple seemed to have heard something and respectfully replied, "This person is Xuan Qi, the acting Academy Head of Heaven's Reflection Manor. He was invited to the Three Sovereigns Universe to investigate the person who provided the information to Lord Luo. He's here to visit Master."
He paused for a moment and then said, "I understand." With that, he left.
When Lu Yin returned to the courtyard, Cang Bi asked, "Your ability to capture spies on behalf of the Academy Head is truly eye-opening. When will you investigate the person who sold the information to Lord Luo?"
"I know what I'm doing," Lu Yin replied and closed the courtyard door.
He naturally didn't stay in the courtyard, but instead left using his innate gift of space to keep an eye on Chen Le's disciple.
The information that Wu Tong had received had not been wrong, and he had only heard it himself. If there was a third person present, then that person's cultivation would not be much higher than Wu Tong's. Otherwise, Wu Tong would have been discovered long ago. Chen Le's disciple was the most likely candidate.
Lu Yin had taken a closer look, and Chen Le's disciple's cultivation was about the same as Wu Tong's. If Wu Tong wanted to pass on information to a spy, he would do his best to conceal himself, so it was normal that Chen Le's disciple would not be able to discover him.
Following Chen Le's disciple, Lu Yin found that he had come to the place where Wu Tong had received the information. As expected, the information had been passed on to Chen Le.
Looking at the mark left by Chen Le's disciple, Lu Yin remained where he was. If Chen Le had obtained what he wanted, he would definitely come here to hand it over to the person who had passed on the information. Lu Yin just had to wait here.
As the sky darkened, there was no one around.
Lu Yin hid himself, and not long after, someone arrived. This person's cultivation was not high, only at the level of an Emissary.
After arriving, this person also hid himself and stood at the location where he had left the mark.
Not long after, the void distorted, and another figure appeared.
Lu Yin's eyes widened; it was Chen Le's disciple.
"If I didn't rush you, you wouldn't have done anything, right?"
The first person who came here questioned. This person was clearly only a Star Envoy, but he dared to question Chen Le, a Half Martial Ancestor. Chen Le was only one step away from breaking through to the Extreme Powerhouse Realm. He was an absolute powerhouse, second only to the Three Sovereigns in the Three Sovereigns Universe.
Chen Le was calm. "Old Ghost Bai's disciple has been trying to lure me in by saying that he's a descendant of the Bai Clan. That disciple's strength isn't weak, and he's even stronger than Old Ghost Bai. That place is also close to the Red Region, and if I'm not careful, I might be exposed. Not only will I not be able to obtain the item, but I'll also be in trouble."
"But you did it. You killed your way into the Red Region and took away the Hundred Clansmen. If you had done this earlier, the news I brought wouldn't have been so unpleasant," the Star Envoy said.
Chen Le's tone gradually turned cold. "Old Ghost Bai's disciple was taken away by the new inn, which was why I had the chance to act. Even so, I only had ten seconds. If it wasn't for Lian Bao, I would have been captured by Xu Wuji. It was too dangerous."
"It's worth it. Give it to me."
Chen Le placed his hand on his cosmic ring. Suddenly, a warning sign exploded in his mind, and a sense of crisis descended. It was just like when he had been targeted by an Eternal powerhouse in the Endless Battlefield. He would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life. Not good, someone was here.
In the void, a bone spike suddenly appeared and pierced through Chen Le's right hand in the blink of an eye. With an unparalleled power, it shattered Chen Le's arm. His hand with the cosmic ring was flung far away, and blood splattered everywhere.
In front of Chen Le, the Star Envoy was stunned. Blood splattered onto his face, and he couldn't react in time.
Chen Le suddenly turned around. He hadn't expected his opponent to be so fierce that he couldn't even defend himself. Impossible, this person clearly wasn't an Extreme Powerhouse. If an Extreme Powerhouse had launched a sneak attack, he wouldn't have just lost an arm.
Chen Le's body was about to release a tri-colored Sovereign Qi.
Lu Yin stirred up spatial lines and directly appeared in front of Chen Le. He stepped in reverse and disrupted time.
The Sovereign Qi that should have appeared suddenly disappeared. Chen Le was shocked, and before he could react, an indescribable power enveloped the surroundings. It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed him and forcefully weakened his strength. Chen Le felt powerless, and he knew that he was in trouble. He had encountered a powerful enemy that he couldn't deal with, and his opponent had even launched a sneak attack.
With a thump, Chen Le fell to the ground.
Behind him, Lu Yin stood up with the slippers in hand and sighed in relief. Not bad, very smooth.
Against a Half-Ancestor like Chen Le, Lu Yin didn't dare to be careless. Even if he couldn't use his Progenitor's strength, he was still confident in using all of his strength.
The bone spike had shattered Chen Le's right arm, leaving him with nothing to use. At the same time, Lu Yin had used the Eon Evolution True Scripture to weaken Chen Le's overall strength. In that instant, Chen Le couldn't even reach the level of an ordinary Half-Ancestor. At most, he would have the power of a peak Star Envoy, which made it impossible for Chen Le to resist or evade. In the end, Lu Yin had used the slippers to end the fight.
Lu Yin's entire attack flowed smoothly, and even an Extreme Powerhouse like Chen Le was stunned.
As for the Star Envoy, he was already stunned. He looked at the unconscious Chen Le and then at the slippers in Lu Yin's hand, feeling that everything was absurd.
Lu Yin had casually slapped the Star Envoy unconscious and taken him away. This situation was a little strange.
After capturing Chen Le and the Star Envoy, Lu Yin returned to the courtyard and placed them inside Mount Supreme. He then began to search for his spoils of war.
There were quite a few good things in Chen Le's cosmic ring, including a few hundred million light crystals. There was also a Lianbao. Lu Yin was delighted, as Lianbao was very useful. If it weren't for Lianbao, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Red Domain.
However, the thing that Lu Yin cared about the most was a rock, a landscape painting rock.
He had never expected to obtain a landscape painting rock from Chen Le's cosmic ring.
This was the third rock that he had obtained.
The first piece had come from the Han Clan, the second from the House of Illusions, and the third. He glanced at the unconscious Chen Le and then at the nervous Emissary. "Is this what you want?"
The Star Envoy's gaze landed on the rock and he gulped, "I know you, Xuan Qi."
"I'm asking you a question." Lu Yin frowned.
The Star Envoy said, "Xuan Qi, you took something that you shouldn't have. You better give it to me, I can be your pawn." With a smack, half of the Star Envoy's face was smashed and blood flowed down his cheek, staining the ground red. His eyes flashed in disbelief; this person had just hit him! Ever since he had obtained his new identity, he had gotten whatever he wanted. No one had ever hit him before, but this Xuan Qi had actually done it.
He slowly looked at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with bone-deep hatred.
Lu Yin was indifferent, "Looks like you won't talk, then die." He raised his hand and pointed it at the Star Envoy.
The Star Envoy's eyes narrowed, "No, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything." He didn't want to die; he had obtained this identity by chance, so he couldn't die here.
"Speak," Lu Yin said indifferently.
The Star Envoy's eyes flashed as he looked at Lu Yin and then at the unconscious Chen Le. He silently cursed this person for being useless and whispered, "I'm from the Hall of Freedom."
Lu Yin raised a brow, "The Hall of Freedom?"
"You don't know about it?"
The Star Envoy was shocked.
Lu Yin really didn't know. He had merged with many people's bodies, but coincidentally, he hadn't seen any information about the Hall of Freedom. Perhaps it wasn't that those people didn't know about it, but rather that they knew too little about it and didn't have a deep memory. It was impossible for him to know all the memories of those he had merged with, so he was at a loss when it came to the Hall of Freedom.
The Star Envoy sighed, "No wonder you attacked me. Xuan Qi, the Hall of Freedom is a power that you can't afford to offend. Don't make a mistake and give me the stone. It's useless to you, but the Hall of Freedom needs it. As long as you give it to me, I can pretend that nothing happened today and even recommend you to join the Hall of Freedom."
"Tell me about the Hall of Freedom first," Lu Yin said coldly.
Half of the Star Envoy's face was bleeding, and he hated Lu Yin to the core. However, his life was in Lu Yin's hands, so he didn't dare to show it. He could only say, "The Hall of Freedom was created in the Wood Spacetime by Sir Da Heng.
It was neither good nor evil.
A single thought was eternal. "
"The Hall of Freedom takes in all who yearn for freedom, regardless of whether they are good or evil. Anyone who isn't bound can join the Hall of Freedom. Aside from Sir Da Heng, there are two other extreme powerhouses in the Hall of Freedom. This is how powerful the Hall of Freedom is. Xuan Qi, if you're willing, I can recommend you to join the Hall of Freedom.
No one dares to touch you. "Lu Yin laughed," But I've already hit you. What will the Hall of Freedom do to me? "
The Star Envoy's eyes flashed, "As long as you join the Hall of Freedom, everything will be fine."
"And if I don't?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Star Envoy was astonished, "Why not?
Do you know how many people want to join the Hall of Freedom? Do you know who Sir Da Heng is?
He's an extreme powerhouse second only to the Sovereigns in the Wood Spacetime, and he's widely acknowledged to be incomparably powerful. Every time a Grand Empyrean tea party is held, he'll be able to chat freely with the Grand Empyreans. He's one of the top figures in the Six Directions Association, and with Sir Da Heng's protection, you won't have to worry about anything. Isn't that good? "
Lu Yin nodded, "Sounds good. Then, what's the Hall of Freedom's stance on dealing with the Eternals?"
The Star Envoy was solemn, "Of course, we'll kill them without holding back. The Eternals are the common enemy of humanity."
Lu Yin fiddled with the stone, "What does the Hall of Freedom want with this broken stone?"
The Star Envoy frowned, "You don't need to ask. As long as you hand the stone over to me, I'll give you a share of the credit, and you might even be able to join the Hall of Freedom."
"The Hall of Freedom's requirements aren't that high. If even you can join, then it should be easy for me to join. Do I need a referral from you?"
Lu Yin was disdainful.
"He's not from the Hall of Freedom." Chen Le woke up and sat up.
The Star Envoy was displeased, "What nonsense are you spouting? Of course I'm from the Hall of Freedom."
Chen Le looked around, "You formed your own space?"
He looked at Lu Yin, "You're Xuan Qi? Everyone was wrong about you. You were even able to capture me, and you have the strength to fight against an extreme powerhouse. You've hidden yourself well."
Lu Yin met Chen Le's gaze, "Nice to meet you, Headmaster Chen Le."
