Atop Boundless, Lu Yin looked at the account book in his hands in surprise. A cultivator was actually using such a primitive method to record things.
It seemed like he was trying to hide it from others.
Many cultivators used jades to record certain things. Those things were convenient and could be recorded with a single thought, but they could be easily found by others. On the other hand, this kind of account book was written on paper without any traces of cultivation. As long as one did not carry it on their person, it would be difficult to detect.
The account book recorded Yue Cheng's transactions with someone called Limitless. This Limitless specialized in sending people to attack the goods transported by the Four Horse Association. Every time he attacked, he would make a lot of noise and not cause any losses. However, Yue Cheng would hide some resources under the pretext of causing damage and then split them with Limitless.
Not only that, Yue Cheng belonged to the Four Horse Association, which had the right to arrange for people to enter the association and keep an eye on the materials used to create the Sequence Foundation. Even though they had to compete with the main association, Yue Cheng was very clear about which companies had which materials. He would tell Limitless about this and Limitless would act. Whether it was the list of resources, the route, or the strength of the escorts, everything was very detailed. This allowed Limitless to frequently succeed in robbing the goods, and every time he succeeded, he would earn a large sum of money.
It could be said that the two of them had made a fortune by relying on this.
However, there was a line at the end of the account book: "If I die for no reason one day, I will definitely act for Limitless."
"You're being hunted down because of this?" Lu Yin asked, looking up at Yue Shu, "Who is this Limitless?"
Yue Shu did not dare look at Lu Yin, his entire body sprawled on the ground as he respectfully replied, "Limitless, Limitless is from the Myriad Beasts Border."
"Limitless?
Only those with the bloodline of the Empress have this surname, "Old Tao interrupted with a solemn expression.
Ru Mu and Qing Yun were astonished. Was this related to Limitless?
"So the one who attacked Yue Cheng was Limitless?" Lu Yin asked.
Old Tao did not answer.
Lu Yin looked at Yue Shu, "Raise your head."
Yue Shu slowly looked up and stared at Lu Yin in fear, "I-I don't know."
Lu Yin looked at him indifferently, "Then, how were you discovered?"
Yue Shu was confused, "I really don't know. When I saw this account book, I had a feeling that a disaster was imminent....."
"Limitless' identity, how did you know?"
"Yue Cheng mentioned this before, but this lowly one only knows that Limitless belongs to the Ten-thousand Beast Border. Yue Cheng was very excited at that time, saying that he has the Ten-thousand Beast Border as his backer."
Palace Master Yao's voice was cold, "Wu Ji can roughly find out where Yue Cheng hid his resources. During that period of time, whoever acted strangely was unlucky. He might not be the only one we found, otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped to us."
Old Tao nodded, "If he is the same as before, he might not be suspected."
Yue Shu was bitter. It was easy to say, but he was just an ant. How could he think so much when facing this kind of thing?
He was lucky to be able to escape.
Old Tao looked at the account book and asked hesitantly, "Master, what do you plan to do?"
Yue Shu lowered his head and didn't dare to look anymore. Now, it was time for these big shots to make a decision. He only came here to save his life, and he didn't care about anything else.
Lu Yin looked at the account book, "How much do you know about this Boundless?"
Old Tao said, "I don't know much about it. I need to investigate."
"Immediately."
"Yes."
The next day, Old Tao brought news, "Master, this Boundless is Wu Ji.
He is one of the many descendants of the Emperor. He wasn't outstanding at first, but after working with Yue Cheng, his resources increased greatly and his cultivation increased. He went from Ling Zhan to the Progenitor Realm and was nurtured by the Myriad Beasts Border. "
"Even so, among the descendants of the Empress, he is at most in the top five. The Emperor doesn't care about such a descendant."
"The competition in the Myriad Beasts Border is fierce, which is why he worked with Yue Cheng. There's nothing else, it's very clear."
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Didn't care?
He hadn't cared before, but that might not be the case now. He tapped the void with his finger, causing faint ripples, "Tell the Myriad Beasts Border to hand over Wu Ji."
Old Tao nodded, "Yes."
The Eight Willows and Yi Yao's deaths could not be in vain. Lu Yin had once gone to the Grand Domain to look for the Four Horses Merchant Guild. Now that the spearhead was pointed at the Myriad Beasts Border, he naturally had to look for them as well.
As for the upcoming Day of Spirit Sacrifice, it was the biggest festival in the spiritualized universe. What did it have to do with them?
If they could participate, then they would participate. If they destroyed it, then so be it.
Not long after, the Dayu Villa called out to the Myriad Beasts Border to hand over Wu Ji. They also announced that Wu Ji had killed Yue Cheng.
The spiritualized universe, which had been quiet for half a year, was stirred up once more.
The various powers in the spiritualized universe were numb. Ever since Wu Ji had arrived, the spiritualized universe had not stopped moving.
This matter was no small matter. The Dayu Villa and the Myriad Beasts Border were related to each other's reputation. A single mistake could lead to war, as both sides were already hostile to each other.
The Myriad Beasts Border was a gathering place for spiritualized beasts. It was one of the most vast regions of the thirty-six filaments. It had not been that large, but because of an unwritten rule, the Myriad Beasts Border had grown larger and larger.
Spiritualizing beasts was not an easy path to take. When humans turned into beasts, they often could not suppress their bestial instincts. Most spiritualizing beasts had bad tempers, which led to constant fighting.
To gain a foothold in the Myriad Beasts Border, the best way was to occupy a mountain and be independent. Usually, those who could occupy a mountain were at least at the Spirit Ancestor level, which was a very small mountain. Those who were slightly bigger were at the Sequence Law level. For example, Death by Three Heads was a mountain master. Those who were even bigger were at the Spirit Primordial level, known as the Great Mountain Master, second only to the Supreme Emperor.
The Myriad Beasts Border had seven Great Mountain Masters, which seemed to correspond to the Seven Great Mulberry Skies.
Unlike the other Mountain Masters, the Great Mountain Master did not occupy a mountain in the Myriad Beasts Border. Instead, he dragged it over from the outside world.
This was not a rule, but a sign of the strong.
No one knew who passed it down, but because of this reason, the Myriad Beasts Border's territory continued to expand. With an additional Great Mountain Master, there would be an additional territory.
The old salamander was one of the Great Mountain Masters. Great Goldwing and Right Summer were both Great Mountain Masters. At its peak, the Myriad Beasts Border's strength surpassed the other six powers. Even though there were many old bastards in the School of Arts, they did not belong to the School of Arts. They were just waiting to die. In terms of absolute strength, no one could compare to the Myriad Beasts Border.
However, even though the Myriad Beast Territory had seven Mountain Masters, that was only at its peak. Now, there were only three Mountain Masters left. Big Goldfinch and Right Summer had been captured by Lu Yin, and there were two other Mountain Masters left. One had died in the consciousness universe, and the other was rumored to have passed away, but there was no proof.
Above the Great Mountain Masters was the Supreme Emperor of the Myriad Beasts Border, who was also known as the Border Master.
The Border Master's territory was naturally the center of the Myriad Beasts Border, and he was surrounded by the seven Great Mountain Masters.
Limitless also lived in the center. After all, he was a descendant of Supreme Emperor's bloodline.
At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, trembling in extreme fear.
Supreme Emperor's terrifying pressure almost crushed him.
He was crushed to dust.
"Was it you?"
Limitless' expression was sluggish, and his eyes were unfocused. "Yes, yes."
Supreme Emperor's eyes suddenly widened, causing the skies of the Myriad Beasts Border to darken. The earth shook, and in the distance, underground magma erupted, dyeing half the sky red. Countless giant beasts hid themselves, not daring to show their faces.
At this moment, Supreme Emperor wanted nothing more than to slaughter this beast.
He had plenty of juniors, and he did not care about one or two of them. He did not care even if this brat died, but how could he hand him over to the Dayu Villa?
Especially at this time, countless voices in the outside world speculated that Supreme Emperor wanted to avoid the battle, as he did not dare to face Lu Sangtian head-on. Some said that he knew in advance that the Realm Beyond Heaven was going to surround and kill Limitless, which was why he had set the time of the battle to half a year after the day of the sacrificial spirit. Others said that he had deliberately spread rumors to force the Realm Beyond Heaven to attack Limitless in order to avoid a battle with Lu Sangtian.
Supreme Emperor was not confident that he could defeat Lu Sangtian, but he was not afraid to fight. The only reason he did not act now was because he did not want any accidents to happen before the day of the sacrificial spirit. He wanted to see that strange scene, and he was also close to mastering a certain power.
With his temper, he had already reached the limit of his patience by not making a sound. Supreme Emperor, when had he ever been like this?
Only with perfect power could he be sure to defeat anyone, not just Lu Sangtian. His real goal was to challenge Yu Sang Tian, which was why he had pushed the date to after the day of the sacrificial spirit.
He was so close, and he had to endure it no matter what.
He did not expect that all his suppression and patience would be destroyed by a junior. It did not matter if this brat lived or died, but if he were to hand him over to the Dayu Villa, where would he hide his face?
Where would he hide the face of the Ten-thousand Beasts Border?
He wanted to slap this brat to death, but he could not. Once this brat was killed, the outside world would think that he was afraid of the Dayu Villa.
Supreme Emperor had never been so aggrieved.
Limitless fainted directly, as he could not bear the pressure.
Supreme Emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent, suppressing the Ten-thousand Beasts Border.
A woman came. She was wearing a white gauze dress, and her snow-white skin was faintly discernible. Her brows were naturally shaped, and her bare feet stepped on the hard ground with a strange softness. She smiled and said, "Supreme Emperor, why are you so angry?
Children are not sensible, just teach them. "
Supreme Emperor looked up and looked at her. "What are you doing here?"
This woman was one of the seven mountain lords, a Spiritual Prime powerhouse. Even Supreme Emperor had to respect her.
Her lips curled up, and her charming face was captivating. "This matter does not only concern Supreme Emperor, but also the Ten-thousand Beasts Border. Thus, I came to ask how you plan to deal with it."
Supreme Emperor coldly asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
"Haha, don't be angry, Supreme Emperor. No matter what you do, the Ten-thousand Beasts Border will obey."
Supreme Emperor's expression eased a little, but it was not much better. What should he do?
Handing it over was impossible. He would rather be killed than hand it over. If he did not hand it over, the people of the Tianyuan Universe would not let it go.
He had delayed the battle until after the day of the sacrificial spirit, which was completely out of character. He had endured to the limit, but now it seemed that this battle could not be avoided.
Mie Wuhuang's challenge, the rumors of Sky Beyond Sky, and the current situation were all forcing him to the point that he could not buy any time.
Supreme Emperor looked in the direction of the Hundred Herbs Region. "Limitless is here. Only I can control his life and death, and no one else can. Anyone who wants him can come and take him."
The woman was surprised. "Are you going to fight with Lu Sangtian?"
Supreme Emperor opened his hand and clenched his fist. "It doesn't matter."
