Wei Rong was distressed. "It's very difficult. This isn't a question of whether or not I can find a breakthrough. It's just that the difference between me and Red Hero is too great. I can't understand his thoughts."
"Consider it from the perspective of an ordinary person," Lu Yin said directly.
Wei Rong shrugged. "Ji He is the only breakthrough."
"Ji He is our breakthrough point in dealing with Red Hero, and it can also be our breakthrough point in dealing with the mastermind behind the scenes. This is because the mastermind must also be looking for Ji He. We can use Ji He to fish it out, provided that we cooperate with Red Hero."
Lu Yin listened calmly. Was he going to work with Red Hero to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes?
"Master Lu, please don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about cooperating with Red Hero to fish out the culprit behind the scenes. Rather, I'm talking about letting out news that we're cooperating with Red Hero to fish out the culprit behind the scenes," Wei Rong said.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Rong. "Are you planning on probing the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Wei Rong nodded.
He had thought of this as well, but he didn't have enough power to do so. Just working with Red Hero wasn't enough to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Wei Rong continued, "Of course, everything we're thinking about right now is based on the fact that we need to find Ji He in order to deal with Red Hero. But what if we overturn this assumption and regain the initiative?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "How do I take the initiative?"
This was what he needed, to turn passivity into initiative. Otherwise, he would always be led by the nose. In the end, even if Red Hero was taken care of, it was still unknown whether the man behind the scenes would attack the human civilization.
Whether it was Red Hero or the man behind the scenes, neither of them could be a threat.
"Red Hero has 120% of the Merciless Dao. Master Lu, you've said this before. Although I don't understand realms, I can still count. As long as I break through 70% of the Merciless Dao, it'll be fine.
The river has been hidden. Red Hero definitely won't let him be found, so he'll have to find a new Sustenance to destroy. For example, Yield. "
"Yield?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Wei Rong nodded. "I don't know if it's possible. Over the years, I've asked Ba Yongsheng and Elder Qiu to try it out. At the very least, at Elder Qiu's level, the Way of the Heartless can be broken by past experience. Then, if it's the Red Hero who can also be broken, that means that even if Ji He is hidden, we can still break through 70% of his Way of the Heartless."
"If I can think of this, then the person behind the scenes who has been plotting against Red Hero for countless years must have thought of this as well. I think it's very difficult, or even impossible, but the person behind the scenes might be able to do it."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Ba Yue and Elder Qiu are cooperating with you?"
Wei Rong smiled. "They're all very cooperative."
Lu Yin looked at the Sect's main hall in the sky, where Ba Yue and Qiu Lao were seated. It turned out that they were here because of Wei Rong.
When he returned, he found it strange that Ba Yue was here.
"How did you try it?"
Wei Rong drank a mouthful of tea and spoke of his experiments over the years.
The experiment was very simple. First, find Ba Yue and ask her to provide Qiu Lao's past experiences, especially the ones that left a deep impression on him and that he thought he had let go of. Then, repeat these experiences and see Qiu Lao's reaction.
Elder Qiu was a cultivator of the Path of Emotionlessness. He had reached the level of crossing the Bitter Disaster. If he was still affected by these experiences, it meant that the Path of Emotionlessness was not completely emotionless.
From beginning to end, Qiu Lao was very passive. He didn't try it willingly.
But with Ba Yue's help, it didn't matter whether he was willing or not.
Elder Qiu had been brought over by Lu Yin from the Underworld Red Coat civilization. He had thought that he had left the Underworld Red Coat civilization, but he had not expected to encounter such a situation in the Triverse Universe.
。
His feelings were very complicated now. He did not know who to blame, nor did he dare to blame anyone.
The strangest thing was why Ba Yue was helping Wei Rong.
Ba Yue sat on the chair with a calm expression.
Help Wei Rong?
She did not want to, but she had heard many rumors over the years that she had been in the Triverse Universe. Some of them were related to Wang Wen and Wei Rong, especially Wei Rong. No matter who you offended, you should never offend him. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know if he sold you off.
Many of Wei Rong's actions were similar to that of a lunatic, and in most cases, he was just like a lunatic. He was not very useful, but when he used his actions, he would win by surprise and bring about an inconceivable reversal.
His actions had already helped Lu Yin many times.
This was why Ba Yue was willing to help him.
Furthermore, Wei Rong had promised that Elder Qiu would be rewarded for this experiment.
Wei Rong's words carried a lot of weight.
After hearing Wei Rong's words, Lu Yin looked at Elder Qiu sympathetically. Even though he had not seen the entire process, Lu Yin could tell from Elder Qiu's expression that he had not been in a good mood.
This old man had helped Lu Yin look through the various family histories in the Underworld Red Coat civilization, and now, he was helping Wei Rong.
"So, based on Elder Qiu's experience, you speculated that the mastermind behind the scenes would use Red Hero's Twelve Merciless Dao to leave behind a backup plan?"
Wei Rong was solemn. "Twelve Merciless Daos. Four of them cannot be changed, and four of them have already been broken. The remaining four are Turbid Treasure, West Upper Peak, Ji He, and Jangyu. We once believed that forgiving Jangyu and letting go of our hatred could not be changed. We thought this way, and so did Red Hero. In that case, will the mastermind behind the scenes use this idea to do the opposite and find an opportunity?
"As long as there is even the slightest possibility, it will be grasped by the mastermind behind the scenes.
It has been far too long, and it's not something that we can compare to.
"Think about it. If the mastermind really wants to use this to scheme against Red Hero, then what it needs to do is to make Red Hero recall his past hatred. Only then will he be able to break this Merciless Dao."
Lu Yin's gaze deepened. "What you're saying is that in the Red Shirt civilization below the stars, somewhere that Red Hero will definitely be able to see, there might be an experience that could appear at any time. This experience is exactly the same as the hatred that Jangyu brought to Red Hero. Using this experience to reappear in the past and break Red Hero's Merciless Dao?"
Wei Rong replied, "This is just my guess, but I feel that it is possible. Of course, my cultivation is too low, so this might not be possible."
Lu Yin stood up and stared at the sky.
Whether or not it could be realized did not depend on him, but on the mastermind behind the scenes.
The mastermind behind the scenes had schemed against Red Hero for many years, and he knew Red Hero like the back of his hand. It might not be impossible.
If that was the case, then even if they did not find Ji He, they might still be able to break through the Seven Merciless Dao.
This was what the mastermind behind the scenes hoped for. Using this experience to break Red Hero's Seven Merciless Dao, it would allow Red Hero to fight against the three universes to the death. Both sides would suffer great losses, and in the end, the mastermind would be able to reap the benefits. This was a true scheme, one that had been set up since ancient times. There was no need to plan every step, but one could control the general direction and control a key that could definitely break through the situation. That was enough.
This possibility was not great, but it still existed.
After a while, Lu Yin said, "Your guess is very good. Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Rong stood up and bowed to Lu Yin. "This subordinate hopes to share Master Lu's worries. There is no need to thank me."
Not long after, Lu Yin headed to the Red Shirt civilization and appeared in front of Jiu Wen.
"Senior, are you aware of the grudge between Rangyu and Red Hero?"
Jiu Wen shook his head.
"I've said it before. I was just a cultivator with some talent at the end of the Ninth Base Era, and I was lucky enough to see the Red Lotus Tomb. I was also recognized by Red Hero, and in the current Red Shirt civilization, I helped Red Hero build a blood tower and turned myself into someone like Rangyu. However, I am not clear about the past between Red Hero and Rangyu."
"Is there anything special about Red Hero?
Or is there someone or something that you care about? "Lu Yin asked.
Jiu Wen did not understand. "Why are you asking this?"
Lu Yin replied, "There are some guesses that need to be confirmed."
Jiu Wen thought about it. "Red Hero is in seclusion all year round. Besides cultivating the Merciless Dao and interacting with He Xiao and the others, there is nothing else. I can't think of anything at the moment, so you can ask He Xiao and the others."
Lu Yin had almost forgotten about them. They were all Red Hero's disciples, so they might have some clues.
When he thought of this, he immediately looked at Xi Shangfeng.
Xi Shangfeng and Lu Yin looked at each other. "It's hard to think of anything at the moment."
Jiu Wen looked at him. "Think about it more."
Xi Shangfeng looked at Jiu Wen, then at Lu Yin, and nodded.
Lu Yin left and went to look for Red Hero's disciples who had been captured, hoping that He Xiao was still alive.
He did not expect that there would be a time when he could use those people.
In the Ninth Firmament Universe, the streets of the bustling city were full of hawkers. Occasionally, there would be cultivators flying past. It was extremely prosperous.
But even so, it could not hide the darkness and filth.
At the corner of the street, a group of people were beating a figure curled up in the corner.
Not only did the figure not cry out in pain, but he also laughed wildly. Sometimes he was crazy, and sometimes he was angry. He allowed the group to beat him up for a full hour until the group was tired. Then, he got up and ran, laughing.
"Lunatic, this lunatic.
He's really resistant to beatings. "
"I told you, this lunatic is definitely not a normal person. Maybe he used to be a cultivator."
"Even if he was a cultivator, he shouldn't be so resistant to beatings. We've been beating him for an hour, and his skin is not even broken. It's impossible."
"Wait, I'll find someone."
"Hey, who else are you looking for?"
"My brother-in-law is back. He's a cultivator. Let him try."
"Great, go and ask your brother-in-law to come. We'll block this lunatic here."
In the corner, the lunatic kept running, but the exit was blocked. He did not know how to turn, so he could only run back and forth like a headless fly.
Soon, a young man with a proud face came. He carried a long sword on his back and had an extraordinary aura.
Everyone hurriedly bowed when they saw him.
"Brother-in-law, it's him. This lunatic is too resistant to beatings. We've been beating him for a long time, but he's not injured at all."
The young man looked at the man who was laughing crazily and frowned slightly. "He's just a lunatic. Is it worth calling me here?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand. The air was clearly distorted, and a wave of air swept past everyone. Those who were close to him had their faces cut, and a drop of blood followed the wave of air and bombarded the lunatic's body.
The surrounding people were shocked. They hurriedly retreated and looked at the young man in fear.
This was a cultivator. A casual wave of his hand was so powerful, sharper than Blacksmith Wang's knife.
The young man was disdainful. They were just a group of mortals who had not seen the world. He glanced at the lunatic. He should be dead.
The lunatic was smashed into the wall by the wave of air. He slowly fell, attracting everyone's attention.
Then, he laughed again. "Why did you harm me? You should help me, all of you should help me. Hahahaha, it's all your fault.
Hahaha … "
Everyone was stunned. Even a cultivator was useless?
