He had to think of a way to divert Mister Da Heng's attention away without offending the Hall of Freedom.
"You don't want this stone anymore?"
Chen Le looked at the stone in Lu Yin's hand.
Lu Yin weighed it in his hand. "I don't know what it's for."
"Then why don't you just give it to Mr. Daheng?"
Chen Le did not understand.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "I told you to give it directly to Mister Daheng and get rid of your worries. What about me?"
Chen Le's gaze was cold.
Lu Yin continued, "Unless you continue to be controlled by me, then I'll let you hand the stone over to Mr. Da Heng. Otherwise, you'll have to hand it over to Lord Luo. Once my control over your body is removed, I'll be able to use it to threaten you. If you dare to fight me to the death, then I won't let you off easily."
"Before this, if Lord Luo discovered that you had joined the Repose Palace, you could have explained that you had been threatened, but after you gave the stone to Lord Luo, that explanation was invalid."
Chen Le's gaze hardened. "Not only is this ineffective, but this action is also suspected of sowing discord between Lord Luo and the Hall of Repose."
Lu Yin smiled. "It's not that serious. It depends on what you think."
Chen Le looked at Lu Yin and then at Mu Xie. "You're ruthless."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Actually, you still have another option. You can go directly to Mister Daheng and explain the situation, or you can go directly to Lord Luo and ask them to help you remove the control. On the surface, you'll agree with me, but in reality, once you're in front of them, they won't even know what you'll choose. You might even be able to plot against me. Senior Chen Le, what do you think of this option?"
Chen Le wasn't stupid, and he had already thought of this path before coming to Lu Yin. He could do this, but if he went to Mister Daheng, he would have to risk being controlled. If he went to Luo Jun, he would have to risk revealing that he had joined the Repose Palace. After weighing the pros and cons, he would rather go to Luo Jun. At worst, he would just have to confess everything he had done. After all, he had never harmed any of the three monarchs' spacetimes.
Now that Mu Jun was missing and he had broken through to the Monarch Realm, Luo Jun couldn't do anything to him.
But the biggest hesitation in looking for Lord Luo was whether Lord Luo could really remove the control.
Chen Le did not understand Luo Jun's strength at all. In fact, no outsider knew about it. He could not be sure that Luo Jun could definitely remove the control, and Mr. Daheng could definitely help him remove the control. However, the possibility of him being controlled by Mr. Daheng was also very high.
This was Chen Le's biggest problem. He had no choice.
There were too many difficult questions in a person's life that they could not choose from. In the end, it was because they did not know the answer. If he was sure that Lord Luo could help him remove the control, or if he was sure that Mr. Daheng would not control him, then things would be simple.
But now, how should he choose?
Furthermore, Lu Yin had taken the initiative to mention this path, which made him even more hesitant. Could this person have left some sort of backup plan on him?
Lu Yin's words echoed in Chen Le's mind. This person was very cautious in his actions. It was unlikely that such a person would leave a way out for him, so why did he specifically remind him?
Various thoughts were constantly entangled in his mind, causing a Monarch Realm expert like Chen Le to be in a mess.
Lu Yin looked at Chen Le's flickering eyes and knew that he was making a choice.
No matter what Chen Le chose, it would be difficult for Lu Yin to control him in the Three Sovereigns Universe. If he really killed Chen Le, Lord Luo would definitely find out, and Xuan Qi's identity would be exposed.
"Actually, there's another option," Lu Yin said slowly.
Chen Le looked at him. "What?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Working with the Above Heaven Sect."
Chen Le's pupils shrank. "Above Heaven?"
。
Lu Yin raised his head. "Yes, the Above Heaven Sect. It's a powerful organization with several powerhouses and a deep foundation. Even the Six Paths Association is afraid of it, and the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages don't want to provoke it directly. It's also plotting against the Three Sovereigns Universe to replace it. This is also your choice."
This was the first time Lu Yin had admitted that he was from the Above Heaven Sect, which was different from Chen Le's guess.
Chen Le stared at Lu Yin in a daze. "Who are you?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Above Heaven Sect, Lu Yin."
Chen Le's expression changed slightly. "Lu Yin?
That Daolord?
You're really him? "
"Chen Le, are you willing to work with the Above Heaven Sect?"
Lu Yin spoke bluntly.
Chen Le was even more confused now that there was another Above Heaven Sect.
Lu Yin said, "Whether you join the Repose Palace or stay in the Three Sovereigns Universe, you won't have a good ending. Mister Daheng will control you, and Lord Luo is good at enslaving others. They have a use for you now, so they won't care about what you've done. But if they don't need you one day, what will you do?"
"Mu Jun is in my hands. Do you want to talk to her?"
Chen Le was shocked. "Mu Jun's disappearance is really related to you?"
"She's still alive, and she's willing to help me scheme against the Three Sovereigns Universe. One is Mu Jun, and the other is you. The Three Sovereigns Universe is too weak, and with the Above Heaven Sect as your backing, you don't need to fear anyone. Even Mister Daheng, would he dare to come to the Genesis Space?
The Six Direction Association clearly forbids anyone from entering the Genesis Space without permission. What I'm doing now and what I can accomplish in the future isn't something that Mister Daheng can compare to, much less a mere Lord Luo. "
Chen Le couldn't argue with his words, but he didn't agree immediately either.
"Besides, my Above Heaven Sect is hidden in the shadows. As long as you cooperate, you can get Mister Daheng to target Lord Luo. Once we replace the Three Sovereigns Universe, you'll be the master of this universe. I don't need that; I just need the Above Heaven Sect to join the Six Direction Association."
Lu Yin's words weren't very provocative, but there was one thing that Chen Le cared about. Replacing Lord Luo was something that could be done. After all, Mu Jun was missing, and the Three Sovereigns Universe was already struggling to stop the Eternals, let alone the Above Heaven Sect.
"Will Mu Jun really help you?"
Chen Le was doubtful.
Lu Yin smiled. "She doesn't have a choice. If she doesn't help me, she'll die."
Chen Le's eyes flickered. It was this sentence again. He had been threatened by this sentence before.
"How are you going to scheme against the Three Sovereigns Universe?
How are you going to replace Lord Luo?
The Reincarnation Universe won't agree, "Chen Le asked.
Lu Yin replied, "That's my business. Do you think that Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Xu Wuji are just acquaintances?
When I faced Lotus Reverend's disciples, Xu Heng and Xu Leng blocked my path. Xu Wuji once said that he would shoulder everything for me. Senior Xu Wuwei even taught me the Taixuan Domain, and I even met Master Xu. "
Chen Le was stunned. Right, this person wasn't just a Above Heaven Sect disciple, he was also Xuan Qi. This identity involved too many people, and there were even a few extreme powerhouses.
"I'll give you time to think about it. Take this." Lu Yin tossed the stone to Chen Le. "You can choose to hand it to Lord Luo and do as I say, or you can choose to confess. You can also choose to hand it to Mister Daheng in exchange for my trust. But don't forget that you don't know my senior's strength. Can Mister Daheng really remove his control?
Have you forgotten how terrifying the Above Heaven Sect era was? "
Chen Le was astonished. Everything he had thought of was based on the premise that Mister Daheng could remove his control. If even Mister Daheng couldn't, then what would happen to him?
Mister Daheng definitely wouldn't trust someone who was being controlled, and Chen Le's fate would definitely not be good.
If Lord Luo couldn't remove his control, then his first reaction would be to kill Chen Le.
Who would trust someone who was being controlled by someone else?
Chen Le sobered up, as he had forgotten about this matter. He looked at Mu Xie. This person was an extreme powerhouse from the Primordial Space, and no one knew exactly how strong he was. That Xia Shenji wasn't weak, and he shouldn't be inferior to Lord Luo. Even if this person could remove Mister Daheng's control, it didn't mean that Mister Daheng could do the same.
Removing control and defeating were two completely different concepts.
He had to take a gamble, and winning the gamble was what he had been hesitating about. If he lost, he would lose everything.
Chen Le's mind was in a mess, and he needed to calm down.
Before he left, Lu Yin added, "I'll participate in the Grand Empyrean Tea Party."
Chen Le was stunned. "What?"
Lu Yin replied, "I'll participate in the Grand Empyrean Tea Party. Grand Empyreans won't be able to touch me."
Chen Le's eyes narrowed, and he felt that this was absurd. "Grand Empyreans won't be able to touch you?"
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Lu Yin then let Chen Le leave.
Chen Le disappeared. He had received too much information today, so much that even an extreme powerhouse like him didn't know what to choose.
However, there was one thing that was certain: the choice he made today would affect his future.
He hadn't considered the fact that Lu Yin had promised Old Crazy to take revenge for the Hundred Family Clan. In his opinion, how could someone like Lu Yin care about the Hundred Family Clan's revenge? Compared to the value of an extreme powerhouse like him, such a small grudge was too childish.
After Chen Le left, Lu Yin sighed. "How tiring."
Mu Xie looked at Lu Yin with admiration. "Junior Brother, your eloquence is amazing."
Lu Yin smiled wryly. "Don't tease me, Senior Brother. I'm not that eloquent. If it weren't for your unfathomable mysteriousness, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee that others would be able to break free from your control.
"But he didn't immediately ask me to remove the control," Mu Xie said.
Lu Yin nodded. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep his promise, but the implications were too great, and he felt like he was dancing on a knife's edge.
This was the first time he had threatened and tempted a Progenitor, and a quasi-enemy at that. If he wasn't careful, it would be a life and death struggle.
This was even more tiring than fighting a Progenitor.
"What do you think he'll choose?"
Mu Xie was curious.
Lu Yin replied, "I don't know. I can't guess what a Progenitor is thinking. After all, he's a powerhouse who can change the world. Also, I don't understand Mister Daheng's position in his heart. If he thinks that Mister Daheng is comparable to a Grand Empyrean, then we should quickly escape."
Mu Xie nodded. "Yes, we're not afraid of a life and death struggle, but we're afraid of ignorance. We'll go to the Eternal Kingdom and wait. No matter what, we can't stay in this spacetime."
"I'll have someone wait for him here. If he cooperates with us, we'll take the risk and go to the Eternal Kingdom. If he doesn't," Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, "he should give up on his identity as Xuan Qi."
Nothing could be smooth sailing.
He had used the Bai Family to fish out Chen Le and had just taken control of the Three Sovereigns Spacetime to plot against them. They were one step too late and had almost opened up the passage. If not for Chen Le, he wouldn't have known that the situation was so dangerous.
Chen Le had played a role, but if they fought to the death, he would have to sacrifice his identity as Xuan Qi.
There were gains and losses.
Compared to opening up the passage between the Three Sovereigns Spacetime and the Fifth Mainland, he would rather lose his identity as Xuan Qi. At worst, he could come back later. Once the passage was opened, the consequences would be unpredictable.
