Chapter 2836: Descendant Of The Lu Family

Lu Yin turned around to face the Great Sovereign. "Senior, are you looking for me?"

The Great Sovereign no longer appeared as calm as before, and she spoke in a low voice. "How did you know that Shao Yin was a spy?"

Lu Yin's eyes flashed as various guesses flickered through his mind.

"Was it because the Aeternals attacked the Heavens Sect?"

"Senior Great Sovereign, do you believe that this junior's guess was in error?"

"The results show that you were correct. You took on the identity of Xuan Qi. Did Sovereign Shao Yin know about this?"

Lu Yin frowned. This line of questioning was not something that he had foreseen. "That’s correct. He admitted it to me himself. He knew that this junior was Xuan Qi, and the attempt to slander me at the Tea Ceremony was done in order to lure Bai Wangyuan and the other Progenitors away from the Perennial World. Not only did Aeternus attack the Origin Universe, but also the Tea Ceremony."

"You suspected long ago that Shao Yin might be a spy, so why did you not report your suspicions to me?" Great Sovereign demanded. As she shouted, a terrifying pressure fell upon Lu Yin, leaving him dizzy.

Great Elder Shan Gu quickly spoke up. "Great Sovereign-"

"Shan Gu, this is a matter between the Lu family and me. This has nothing to do with you." The Great Sovereign cut the man off, causing Great Elder Shan Gu to frown.

Mu Shen added in, "Great Sovereign, you are well aware of just how cunning the Aeternals are. Lu Yin alone cannot see through their schemes. If such a thing were possible, humanity would not be in its current situation."

Lord Wei's eyes flickered. This was not a matter of right or wrong. Rather, it was about the fact that the Great Sovereign had been humiliated. Sovereign Shao Yin had been one of her people, but he had just been revealed as the greatest traitor in the history of the Sixverse Association. This incident had had a massive impact on the Great Sovereign. There was no way to conceal such an important matter, and she had lost face.

What she was concerned about was that Lu Yin had never shared his suspicions with her. If he had, regardless of whether the Tea Ceremony had been attacked, no matter what actions Aeternus might have taken, the Great Sovereign would not have been passive regarding Sovereign Shao Yin.

What she cared about was the loss of face and respect. She regarded herself as the master of all of humanity, but she had also groomed the greatest traitor in the entire Sixverse Association. This was completely unacceptable.

However, when considering the matter, Sovereign Shao Yin had repeatedly made several grave mistakes on the Endless Frontier, which had all been deliberate. In addition to those mistakes, he had also instigated internal conflicts within the Sixverse Association, and even proposed that the Great Sovereign banish the Lu family. All of these things had been terribly damaging to humanity as a whole, and mankind had suffered grave losses. Worse, all of this had been done with the tacit approval of the Great Sovereign.

How would this matter ultimately be recorded in the annals of human history?

The Great Sovereign had had the opportunity to avoid such a mishap, but only if Lu Yin had warned her in advance. Lu Yin had not done so, and that was the cause of her anger.

Sovereign Shao Yin had never been a fool. He had always acted deliberately and with a clear purpose.

This was in line with Aeternus’s methods. When the Origin Universe’s Mainlands had been shattered one after another, and when the Three Realms Six Dao had fallen, that had all been done through the cunning schemes of the Aeternals. Specifically, they had provoked various betrayals. The Aeternals were in no way inferior to humans, and, in fact, their unwavering loyalty to True God meant that Aeternus as a whole was more united than humanity.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. "This junior had nothing more than guesses. If I had told the Great Sovereign without presenting any evidence, would the Great Sovereign have believed me?"

"Whether or not I would have believed you is my business. You concealed this matter from me. This is your first crime. Shao Yin used you to create an opening by diverting everyone's attention, which allowed the Aeternals to launch a massive attack. This is your second crime. If not for you, the Origin Universe would not have been targeted by Aeternus. Because of you alone, the Origin Universe faced imminent destruction. This is your third crime. Child of the Lu family, you can now plead guilty."

Lu Yin snorted in annoyance. "Great Sovereign, is this some sort of joke?"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Lord Xu wanted to slap a hand over Lu Yin's mouth.

Mu Ke immediately stepped forward. "Junior Brother."

Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and several others grew worried.

"Are you accusing me just based on a whim? Just because you, the Great Sovereign, is unable to defeat Aeternus and suffered losses, you blame me? Should I, Lu Yin, have died in the Origin Universe? Should I have allowed the Aeternals to continue the war on the rear battlefield? Do I need to answer to you for all of my actions?

"You want to condemn me? Do you really think that you are the Origin Progenitor? Do you really believe that your Cyclic Universe can replace the Heavens Sect?

"Do you think that I'm afraid of you?"

The sound of a pin dropping would have echoed throughout the entire Tea Ceremony at this moment.

Everyone stared blankly at Lu Yin as he shouted and insulted the Great Sovereign. Clearly, he had lost his mind.

Lu Yin had indeed lost his mind at this moment. This crazy woman was actually trying to condemn him of ridiculous crimes. She was unable to defeat Aeternus, so she wanted to force the blame onto him!

No one could help him withstand this pressure. He could only rely on himself.

He remained unyielding. He refused to kneel or beg for mercy. Why? Why should he be condemned?

"What qualifies you to condemn me? I am a member of the Lu family and the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect! The Heavens Sect has returned! You can’t handle Aeternus yourself, and you resent the ancient Heavens Sect! You resent the Lu family! You can’t stop Aeternus, and you can’t stand the fact that Sovereign Shao Yin betrayed you for True God, so you’re taking your anger out on me! Great Sovereign. Just who do you think you are?

"You crazy bitch!"

Lu Yin screamed his last words. They sounded as though they had been torn from his throat.

Shan Gu, Lord Xu, and the others all stared at Lu Yin in shock.

There was a solemn expression on Mu Ke's face, and he instantly crushed a jade slip in his hand. At this moment, words were useless.

Sovereign Ninth Lotus and many others were completely stunned. Never before had they heard anyone insult the Great Sovereign.

The same was true for Mu Shen and the others, and the entire situation felt bizarre to them.

How many years had it been? Even during the Heavens Sect era, when the Origin Universe had been at its peak, the Great Sovereign had enjoyed an exceptional status, and she had been qualified to freely meet with the Origin Progenitor, speaking to him as a peer. Despite that, she had just been scolded by a mere child.

Bai Xian'er remained calm where she stood. A gust of wind blew past, ruffling her hair.

Lu Yin stared at the Great Sovereign with bloodshot eyes. Finally, he had spoken the words that he had kept bottled up for so long.

When he had first heard the true reason behind the Lu family’s exile, he had wanted to run over and scold the Great Sovereign. At this moment, he had finally done so.

Sovereign Shao Yin had never been anything more than a lackey. The Great Sovereign was the true power behind the Lu family’s exile, as she had been the one to block Ancestor Lu Yuan’s senses.

Sequence particles shone both in the sky above and in the ground below. "Child of the Lu family, kneel!"

With this sharp shout, the radiant sequence particles crashed down.

Lu Yin clenched his fists. He had no way to defend against this, so he decided to just accept it. Regardless of whether the Lu family returned, he had awakened Ancestor Lu Yuan. Lu Yin had accomplished his mission.

No one could help Lu Yin. Helping him meant confronting the Great Sovereign, and no one was confident enough to do that.

The sky and the ground both trembled. The entire Cyclic Universe was bearing down upon Lu Yin.

Lu Yin could not breathe, and his mind started to fade. He could not stay on his feet, but he could not allow himself to fall either. He could not humiliate himself. He represented the Origin Universe and the Heavens Sect. He was Lu Yin! He had climbed up from being an ordinary cultivator to his current status step by step. He had sacrificed so much, so how could he kneel at this moment?

No one could force him to kneel.

Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. His vision turned red, but he fearlessly stared at the Great Sovereign. He would die on his feet. "Crazy bitch."

The sequence particles dropped, landing on Lu Yin. The sky collapsed, and the earth shattered.

Suddenly, a hand appeared, protecting Lu Yin's head and stopping the sequence particles. After that, a figure stepped out and roared in fury, "You crazy bitch! What do you think you’re doing to this descendant of my Lu family?”

Mu Shen, Lord Xu, and everyone else stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. He looked 70% similar to Lu Yin, but his whole body radiated a golden light. Unlike Sovereign Shao Yin’s golden robes, this golden light was irresistible, seemingly capable of penetrating the entire universe.

However, the biggest difference between this man and Lu Yin was in the eyes.

Lu Yin's eyes revealed wisdom, calmness, and it hid fathomless depths.

The eyes of this person who had just appeared revealed one thing and one thing alone: dominance. These eyes were arrogant beyond all reason.
