Of course, this was only on the surface. What Lu Yin really wanted to do now was to investigate the relationship between Jiu Wen and the Azure Lotus Emperor.
He wanted to do something under the premise that Jiuwen thought he was completely unaware.
Next, he would head to the Red Coat civilization. Before he left, he made a special trip to the Tian Yuan Cosmos.
He found Mister Mu and told him about his discovery.
In the current human civilization, he trusted Mister Mu the most. Mister Mu was his master. Without Mister Mu, there would be no him.
Mister Mu did not expect such a thing to happen. He looked in the direction of the Nine Clouds Universe and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, including Jiang Feng."
"It's not that I don't trust him. His experience has made him think differently from us.
It's similar to you. Once I tell him, I'm afraid it will affect his attitude towards the Azure Lotus Ruler. "
Lu Yin replied, "I understand. Uncle Jiang will overthink things just like me."
Mister Mu said, "It's not a bad thing to think too much. If you didn't think too much, how would you have discovered this?"
Lu Yin's heart was heavy. "Master, what should I do?"
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin. The Azure Lotus Shield held a very high position in Lu Yin's heart, and he respected the Azure Lotus Shield, as well as the Blood Tower and the Gate of Wonder.
He respected them all.
He had to admit that.
The few Eternal Realms from the Nine-Firmaments Universe treated Lu Yin very well.
Therefore, he discovered this situation now.
Lu Yin was at a loss.
He had thought that he could handle this matter rationally and investigate the Red Specters under the Stars.
Then, he would look for the Azure Lotus Emperor.
No matter what reason the Green Lotus Emperor had for hiding it,
Everything had to be explained clearly.
At the very least, this was a matter between human civilizations. At the very least, there were no enemies.
Furthermore, even if the Azure Lotus Ruler had a secret, why did he have to tell him?
There was nothing wrong with the Azure Lotus Ruler.
This was the logic, but it involved another human civilization and also involved the Heartless Path. He wanted an answer and did not want the Azure Lotus Emperor to walk in the direction of the Heartless Path.
Lu Yin was very clear that he had overthought this matter. The massacre in Emotionless Valley had caused him to reject the Red Shirt civilization beneath the Astral Plane, and he had even discovered that the Jade Lotus Emperor had concealed his contact with Jiu Wen. This made him want to find out the answer, and he did not wish for the Jade Lotus Emperor to have anything to do with the Heartless Path.
Mister Mu patted Lu Yin's shoulder. "Little Seven, do you believe that people can change?"
Lu Yin fell silent.
"If one day you discover that I have betrayed humanity, what will you do?"
Lu Yin's body trembled as he looked at Mister Mu in shock.
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin as well, and when their gazes met, Mister Mu saw the confusion and even fear in Lu Yin's eyes.
He sighed deeply. "Is it hard to decide?"
Lu Yin remained silent.
He didn't say anything.
Mister Mu said, "There's no sense of accomplishment in being your master. You're too talented and you're blessed with many opportunities. Every time I see you, I get a different feeling. Sometimes, I wonder if you'll surpass me the next time I see you."
"The first time this idea appeared was in the Tian Yuan Universe. Back then, you did not know the Square Inch Distance."
Mister Mu laughed. "It's funny, isn't it? Now you know how big the gap was between you and me back then?"
Lu Yin looked at Mister Mu. Was there a difference?
It was bigger than the sky.
During the battle in Immemorial City, he thought that he was very strong. However, when facing Yu Sang Tian, he didn't even have the strength to fight back. If it weren't for the tricks left behind by fate, they would have been finished.
At his peak, Mister Mu was a scoundrel, a scoundrel who could unite with the will of the universe and injure an Eternal Life Realm expert.
For Mister Mu to have such thoughts, Lu Yin could imagine how high Mister Mu's expectations of him had been.
"Having a disciple like you is both a blessing and a misfortune. I don't have much to teach you on the path of cultivation. Fortunately, I'm much older than you, so I can teach you a principle."
Mister Mu's expression was solemn as he looked at Lu Yin. "If there comes a day when I betray humanity, you should not hesitate."
"Kill."
Lu Yin's pupils shrank as he stared at Mister Mu.
Mister Mu was very serious, so serious that it was terrifying. "Because the one who betrayed humanity is no longer your master. From the moment he decided to betray humanity, he became another person.
"Your master will never betray humanity. Remember this, and always remember that your master will never betray humanity. Therefore, the one who betrayed humanity is not your master. Kill.
"Do not hesitate, do not be lost, and do not be afraid.
"This traitor killed your master. He destroyed your master's personality and trampled on your master's dignity. This person is an enemy. Kill him and avenge your master."
Lu Yin stared at Mister Mu in a daze.
Mister Mu raised his hand and patted Lu Yin's head. "I am like this, and so are others.
"The one who helped you is one person, and the one who harmed you is another. The physical body did not change, but the personality changed. This person killed someone you respected, so you must avenge him. The person you killed is not the person you respected, but the enemy."
Lu Yin's voice was dry. "Yes, like this?"
Mister Mu retracted his hand and sighed. "It's very difficult, isn't it?"
Lu Yin nodded subconsciously. If Mister Mu betrayed humanity, would he really kill him without hesitation?
If Qing Lian Yu concealed his contact with Jiu Wen and did something that was detrimental to the three human civilizations, would he really kill him without hesitation?
Mister Mu sighed. "Your cultivation has improved so quickly that you can't look at everything in the world numbly."
"Some people are ruthless because of the baptism of time. What these people do may be wrong, but to them, it is not wrong."
"You are used to seeing life and death. What you don't want to lose is precisely what you will lose in the end."
Lu Yin clenched his fists.
"No one can accompany you for eternity. Perhaps the appearance of the Heartless Path is a good thing for you." Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin and said, "Go and get in touch with the Heartless Path. Perhaps it will help you."
"There is a reason for the appearance of any path of cultivation."
Lu Yin was biased against the Heartless Path from the beginning and had never thought of cultivating it. However, Mister Mu could see clearly that the Heartless Path might help Lu Yin make up for his lack of mental state.
He had too little experience. Although numbness was not a good word, it was good medicine for some people.
There were black and white walls to the mental state, but the black side was not as tall as the white side in Lu Yin's heart.
"Don't think too much. Qing Lian Yu concealed his contact with the Red Coats under the Stars because he did not want to come into contact with the Heartless Path," Mister Mu comforted him.
Lu Yin nodded. This was also why he was relieved. Perhaps this was the reason.
Not long after, Lu Yin left the three universes and arrived at the Red Coat civilization under the Stars. He teleported into the Canglan Valley.
He did not leave for long. At this moment, Chu Songyun was looking for Ba Yue in the Heartless Sect.
Although he was not from the Heartless Sect, he could go anywhere with his status as a Six Red Coat. Aside from a few Eternal Realm cultivators, no one was his match.
However, he was also very self-aware. After entering the Heartless Sect, he first visited Jiu Wen and obtained Jiu Wen's approval before looking for Ba Yue.
Ba Yue was in seclusion, and when she heard that Lu Yin had given Chu Songyun a test, she immediately went into seclusion.
After Lu Yin returned to the Canglan Valley, he scanned the sourcebox array and saw that there were no changes. He then looked at the Heartless Sect and decided to wait for a while before heading over.
A month later, news that Chu Songyun was looking for Ba Yue spread. The outside world knew that he was looking for Ba Yue, but they did not know why. Some people even said that Chu Songyun liked Ba Yue, and this rumor spread even further.
It even reached He Xiao's ears.
He Xiao's Heartless Path allowed him to truly love every woman, and Ba Yue was the same. The more he loved her, the more pain he felt, and the closer he was to being heartless.
Even though He Xiao had achieved immortality, Ba Yue had never left his heart. Ba Yue was the last woman he had ever loved.
When he heard that Chu Songyun was looking for Ba Yue, he could not sit still and headed to the Heartless Sect to stop Chu Songyun.
"You're looking for Ba Yue?"
He Xiao looked at Chu Songyun. Chu Songyun's extraordinary aura caused others to have a good impression of him, but this good impression was disgusting to those who knew about it.
Chu Songyun and He Xiao's auras were similar, but one was clearly emotionless, yet he wanted to be affectionate, while the other was affectionate yet heartless. These two people with similar auras were completely opposite.
Facing He Xiao, Chu Songyun was not afraid. He could directly say that Ba Yue was not worthy of being his master, and He Xiao was the same in his eyes. "Yes."
"Why?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"Ba Yue's matter is related to me." He Xiao was not angry, and he smiled as he stared at Chu Songyun.
Chu Songyun was calm. "You are not worthy."
He Xiao's gaze turned cold. "What did you say?"
"You are not worthy," Chu Songyun said calmly.
Ba Yue was not worthy of being his master, and He Xiao was not worthy of mentioning Ba Yue.
That was what Chu Songyun thought.
He Xiao took a step forward. His body moved, and his mind moved. His life force was released, and it pressed down on Chu Songyun. He was a Seventy Percent Red Robe, and no matter how special Chu Songyun was in his civilization, he deserved to die for disrespecting immortality.
Chu Songyun was not afraid. He had long wanted to experience a Seventy Percent Red Robe Eternal Life Realm.
Life force and eternal matter were absolute powers that Eternal Life Realm experts could use to suppress non-eternal Life Realm experts. Unless one reached the level of a scoundrel, it would be difficult to resist.
However, those below the Eternal Life Realm who reached the limit could comprehend life force and use eternal matter. This was the origin of the word limit, and it was the first step to becoming a scoundrel.
When He Xiao's life force came, Chu Songyun's gaze was calm. Around him, withered leaves surrounded him, moving without wind.
The life force swept past like a gust of wind, but it could not move the withered leaves.
He Xiao was shocked, but he was not surprised. "I have long heard of the Ten Thousand Pine Withered Leaf Realm, but it is not enough."
After he finished speaking, the life force that was blocked by the withered leaves suddenly gathered, forming a white sword in He Xiao's palm. He slashed with the sword, and it was the Great Heavenly Cycle Sword Intent.
Chu Songyun retreated and waved his hand. Withered leaves blocked in front of him, and life force surged out from his body, connecting with the dancing withered leaves, forming a forest of withered leaves.
The forest of withered leaves took root in the void, facing the Great Heavenly Cycle Sword Intent head-on.
In the Heartless Sect, many cultivators were watching. Looking at the Red Robes under the stars, only Chu Songyun and Xie Man were qualified to challenge an Eternal Life Realm expert. However, a challenge was a challenge, and it was almost impossible to win.
He Xiao's sword intent slashed down, constantly shattering the forest of withered leaves, forcing Chu Songyun to retreat step by step. After all, Chu Songyun was not an Eternal Life Realm expert. It was quite difficult for him to comprehend life force from the concept of withered leaves. The forest of withered leaves had long been integrated with eternal matter, but it still could not block He Xiao's sword intent.
He Xiao raised his hand, and the sword intent rushed towards Chu Songyun, as if he wanted to kill him with one slash.
Chu Songyun raised his left arm, and the red umbrella appeared in his hand. His right hand grabbed the umbrella handle, and with a clang, he pulled out his sword and slashed horizontally.
