Xu Wuwei's mouth was still stained with oil, but he was incomparably tall at this moment. "Forget it, go back. Tell Shaoyin to find Xuan Qi himself. Xuan Qi will not go to the Shadow Realm."
Shaogu did not dare to talk nonsense. He used all his strength to get up, panting heavily, and bowed deeply to Xu Wuwei. "Junior understands. I will leave now."
Since Xu Wuwei's arrival, Lu Yin had not said a word. He watched Shaogu leave weakly. This was how the weak lost their dignity in front of the strong and had to thank the strong for showing mercy.
"What a waste." Xu Wuwei shook his head and turned the beast leg on the ground into nothingness.
Lu Yin was grateful. "Senior, thank you for your help."
Xu Wuwei looked at Lu Yin with a strange gaze. "Call me senior. Your lifespan will be shortened."
Lu Yin looked at Xu Wuwei and saw that his eyes were full of surprise and curiosity, but there was no dissatisfaction. "Senior knows?"
Xu Wuwei sighed. "I admire you, Sect Master Lu."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "Senior Xu Wuwei told you?"
"Xu Wuwei only told me," Xu Wuwei said.
Lu Yin sat down. Since his identity was exposed, there was no need to pretend. With his identity, even Xu Wuwei and Xu Wuwei were on equal footing. Of course, his cultivation was far from enough.
Identity was identity. He represented the Genesis Space.
Xu Wuwei looked at Lu Yin. "If Xu Wuwei did not say it himself, I would not have believed it. Which of your words are true and which are false?"
Lu Yin did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "In the Genesis Space, the fate of countless people is in my hands. When I first came into contact with the Six Direction Society, Yuan Sage looked down on me and slandered me. He even connected to the battlefield beside the Above Heaven and led the Eternals in to destroy the Above Heaven."
"The Four Direction Scales helped the Shaoyin Divinity. The Three Sovereigns Universe wanted to replace the Genesis Space and become its master. At that time, there were very few Progenitors in the Above Heaven. They were not enough to deal with the Four Direction Scales, let alone the Six Direction Society."
Lu Yin looked at Xu Wuwei. "At that time, even a Yuan Sage could consign the Above Heaven Sect to eternal damnation. One word from him and the Above Heaven Sect would follow his orders. Me and the Above Heaven Sect were walking on the edge of a cliff. All we thought about was survival.
Xu Wuwei looked deeply at Lu Yin, "So you entered the Six Direction Society alone to understand it?"
Lu Yin stood up and looked outside the clock tower. "There's no other way."
Xu Wuwei praised, "At first, I didn't like you, I even hated you. I don't like people who get involved in power struggles, I don't like people who scheme against others, and I don't like people who use me and the Virtual God Spacetime as a stepping stone."
"Fortunately, you didn't use the Void God Space. Even if the Void Master helped you, you would have gone to him directly and told him your identity."
"To be honest, there aren't many things in this universe that can be like you."
Lu Yin bitterly replied, "Who doesn't want to have someone backing them up? I also hope to have a powerhouse like a Grand Empyrean standing behind me. If I don't like someone, I can just fight them without considering the consequences. If I can't win, I can just threaten them."
"I also want to be carefree and walk to the peak as a proud son of heaven."
"I also want to compete with my peers. There's no need to bow to this senior today. Tomorrow, I'll bow to that senior."
"I also want to stand tall. Even if there are strong people forcing me, there will be people who will stand up for me."
"I also want to tell people everywhere I go. My name is Lu Yin.
I can be called Lu Xiaoxuan. I don't have any other names. Long Qi, Yu Hao, Xuan Qi, they are all fake. "
"I also want to get rid of mountains. I don't have to think about others. I don't have to bear those favors, those feelings, and those debts."
Lu Yin's tone was low. "But I can't. I have too many ties, too many things to do, too many favors to repay, and too many grudges to avenge."
Then, he turned to look at Xu Wuwei. "I have a righteous cause and a responsibility that I must bear. For this, I would rather put aside my hatred for the time being and work with the Four Directions Balance to expel the Eternals from the Primordial Space. I'm willing to sacrifice for humanity and do many things that I didn't have to do. I forced myself to do this. I don't blame others, and I don't expect others to understand me. However, I know that there will always be people who will understand me and help me. There are many in the Primordial Space, and there are also many in the Six Directions Guild. There will be more in the future. Senior, my gratitude is real. I, Lu Yin, am willing to apologize for lying."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Xu Wuwei raised a hand to stop Lu Yin from bowing and helped him up. He smiled. "I don't blame you. I just admire you. You're still young, but you've shouldered everything. There are many things that you shouldn't have shouldered."
Lu Yin's gaze dimmed. "I've experienced many things. Naturally, I'll bear them."
Xu Wuwei shook his head and sighed. "The Primordial Space has experienced its greatest glory. In that era, any powerhouse could run amok in the Six Directions Guild. They would never have imagined that the future of the Primordial Space would be entrusted to a child like you."
"You have to be careful of Sovereign Shaoyin. This person is too sinister. There were many times when he might have been removed from his position as one of the Three Sovereigns, but he managed to stabilize it several times. One time, he sacrificed your Lu family to preserve his position."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You mean to banish the Lu family?"
Xu Wuwei nodded. "Sovereign Shaoyin had made major mistakes in the Endless Battlefield, but he was always able to preserve his position with the Grand Empyreans. It was the same that time. He saw through the Grand Empyrean's heart and proposed banishing the Lu family. He used the excuse that the Lu family would bear the sins of the Above Heaven Sect to save himself from the grief of being a Sovereign. Not many people know about this, but those who do look down on him."
"Void Master, even Great Elder Gu and the Wood God are the same. His position was preserved at the expense of your Lu Family."
Lu Yin really did not know about this. The banishment of the Lu family had implicated too many things. Wang Fan, Sovereign Shaoyin … He wanted to see what exactly was going on.
Xu Wuwei walked to the side of the clock tower. "Sovereign Shaoyin might be looking for you because he wants to use your reputation as Xuan Qi's agent."
Lu Yin also thought about it. If his identity had not been exposed, his greatest value to Sovereign Shaoyin would have been to capture agents. As for Eternal Darkness, Sovereign Shaoyin definitely wanted it, but he did not dare to do so. Otherwise, he would definitely anger the Lost Clan, and the losses would outweigh the gains.
Lu Yin had originally thought that Sovereign Shaoyin would need at least a few days to arrive in the Red Domain, or even longer. He had already thought it through, and during this time, he could ask Xu Wuwei some questions about cultivation, especially regarding the laws of the Sequence.
But before he could say anything, Divine Sovereign Shaoyin arrived unexpectedly quickly.
Lu Yin was even more curious about Sovereign Shaoyin's motives. What was he trying to do?
Atop the clock tower in the Red Domain, the golden-robed Sovereign Shaoyin conversed with Xu Wuwei with a smile on his face. They seemed to be on good terms.
Xu Wuji stood to the side with his hands behind his back, while Lu Yin stood beside him. The difference in status was obvious.
"I originally thought that you did not care about Xuan Qi. Looks like you did not care about Xuan Qi when you rejected Gan in the Lost Clan."
He glanced at Lu Yin, who was standing nearby.
Xu Wuwei dug out a beast leg from somewhere and chewed on it with relish. "Before he can protect himself, this kid shouldn't run around. It's not safe."
"What? My Taiyin Realm is not safe either?" Sovereign Shaoyin raised an eyebrow.
Xu Wuwei chuckled and glanced at Sovereign Shaoyin, but he did not speak.
Sovereign Shaoyin stared at him for a while before bursting into laughter. "You old thing, you're still so protective. Don't worry, I won't harm him. On the contrary, I have something I need his help with."
Xu Wuwei put down the beast leg and wiped his mouth, which was a rare sight. "You're Sovereign Shaoyin, but you actually said 'please' to a junior. To be honest, I'm panicking."
Sovereign Shaoyin's expression was solemn. "This is a serious matter. If not for this, I would not have been in such a hurry to find you. This concerns a spy."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. So Sovereign Shaoyin really wanted to capture a spy?
He did not know if Sovereign Shaoyin wanted to capture a real spy or a fake one.
That was just what Lu Yin was thinking, but Xu Wuwei directly said, "Are you really a spy?
Or do you think you are? "
These words were not polite at all, and Xu Wuwei wanted to cheer. Fortunately, he had invited Senior Xu Wuwei, or else he would not have been able to stop Sovereign Shaoyin.
Sovereign Shaoyin's expression changed, but it was only for a moment before he quickly recovered. "Of course I'm a spy, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. However, the other party's status is high, and they lack strong evidence. Thus, I want to ask Xuan Qi to help me investigate. As long as you can find evidence, I will personally report it to the Grand Empyrean."
He then looked at Lu Yin. "How about it?
Xuan Qi, capturing spies is your responsibility and mission. It is also something you swore to do. "
Lu Yin looked at Sovereign Shaoyin. "If it really is a spy, Xuan Qi will not shirk his duty."
"Good. As long as you can help me confirm that this person is a spy and find evidence, I will definitely report it to the Grand Empyrean. Just tell me what you want. Even if the Grand Empyrean is unwilling, I will do my best to get it done for you," Sovereign Shaoyin praised.
Xu Wuwei frowned. "After talking for so long, who is this spy you're talking about?"
Xu Wuji looked on curiously. He also wanted to know who Sovereign Shaoyin was so concerned about.
Sovereign Shaoyin looked at Xu Wuwei. "This is a serious matter. In order to prevent information from being leaked, Brother Wuwei should not listen."
Xu Wuwei let out a strange laugh, took out another beast leg, and ate it without saying a word.
Sovereign Shaoyin said, "I will definitely give Brother Wuwei an explanation after this, but before that, this matter must be kept a secret. I hope Brother Wuwei can forgive me."
Xu Wuwei continued to eat the beast leg and ignored Sovereign Shaoyin. He crossed his legs and swung them up and down uncomfortably.
Sovereign Shaoyin's eyes flashed coldly. Many people in the Six Direction Association did not like him, and Xu Wuwei was one of them. Although the two of them were polite on the surface, in reality, in the Endless Battlefield, if one party was in trouble, the other party would definitely not save them.
And now, he was actually asking for Xu Wuwei's help, which was unbearable. This disgusting old thing.
If not for Xuan Qi, Sovereign Shaoyin would have just left.
Suppressing his anger, Sovereign Shaoyin said in a gentle tone, "Brother Wuwei, you know very well that capturing spies cannot be made public. This spy's status is special enough to alert the Grand Empyrean. Please understand."
He then suddenly looked at Xu Wuji. "As the lord of the Horizon Hall, Xu Wuji, you should know the rules of capturing spies."
