Chapter 2938: Hard To See Through
"You can save your explanation for the entire Sixverse Association. We are going to go to the Heavens Sect," Mu Ke stated. Since the Great Sovereign and the other rulers of the Sixverse Association were all in seclusion, Lu Yin was the only person qualified to deliver judgment, and he was in the Heavens Sect. Of the Cyclic Universe, Sovereign Dou Sheng was still fighting on the Endless Frontier, while Sovereign Ninth Lotus could not deny Lu Yin. At this moment, the Sixverse Association acknowledged Lu Yin as the only person qualified to make decisions.
But how could Mr. Daheng possibly agree to go to the Heavens Sect? He had already thought of a possibility, and he knew that both he and Luo Shan might have been tricked by Lu Yin. Mr. Daheng had been so focused on Luo Shan that he had forgotten about what Lu Yin was capable of.
If Mr. Daheng’s new suspicions proved true, then going to the Heavens Sect at this time would place him in an entirely passive position.
"Mu Ke, you are also from the Arboreal Realm. The six members of the Sixverse Association all possess equal status. Even if I have committed a crime, why should I have to go to the Heavens Sect?" Mr. Daheng retorted.
Mu Ke glared at Mr. Daheng with a frigid expression. He had not been informed of anything in advance. Proximity had asked the Arboreal Realm to arrest Mr. Daheng, and Mu Ke was the only one active in the universe who was capable of doing so.
Mr. Daheng’s words were not unreasonable, but who in the Arboreal Realm was qualified to judge the man?
Mu Shen was still in seclusion, and the rest of the Sixverse Association would not accept Mr. Daheng’s words on their own merit.
A communication crystal trembled, and Mu Ke answered the call.
"Excuse me, but have you arrived at the Liberation Palace, Senior Mu Ke?"
"I’m here."
"Then I’ll have to ask Senior Mu Ke to escort Mr. Daheng to the Heavens Sect to provide an explanation of his actions to the Sixverse Association. Proximity has already relayed an account of recent events to the entire Sixverse Association."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Daheng’s expression changed drastically. The entire Sixverse Association knew about what he had done?
Mu Ke looked back at Mr. Daheng. "Did you hear that? The entire Sixverse Association agrees that you should go to the Heavens Sect to defend yourself. Why did you attack Luo Shan and disrupt the Endless Frontier? Your actions not only require you to offer an explanation to the Sixverse Association, but also one to the Endless Frontier. The consequences of your actions will be very, very serious."
A smile spread across Wu Heng's face. He had been waiting for this day for far too long. It was impossible for him to defeat Mr. Daheng on his own, but fortunately, Wu Heng had decided to follow the right person. Lord Lu was capable of cornering Mr. Daheng and leaving no escape.
Mr. Daheng stood in place, his eyes flickering.
Mu Ke slowly descended, and at some point in time, his saber had appeared in his hand.
The threat of that sharp edge caused Mr. Daheng to sober up. He had just attacked Luo Shan. No matter what happened next, he would not be really threatened. At worst, he would be condemned to serve on the Endless Frontier. But if he fought back, everything would change.
The realization of the potential consequences caused Mr. Daheng to slowly calm down. He looked at Mu Ke, but just as he was about to agree to follow the man, Lu Yin suddenly appeared nearby. "Senior Brother."
Lu Yin went straight over to Mu Ke. Updated chapters at novelhall.com
Upon seeing Lu Yin arrive, Mr. Daheng’s expression fell, and something dark flickered in his eyes, though only for a moment.
"Why are you here?" Mu Ke felt puzzled.
Lu Yin looked over at Mr. Daheng and everyone else. "I heard that our Heavens Sect’s Chen Le was captured and brought here. Is that right?"
Mr. Daheng stared at Lu Yin. The man did not even know what to say.
Mu Ke calmly replied, "Mr. Daheng tells me that he was helping you deal with a traitor to the Heavens Sect."
Lu Yin gave a faint smile. "I see. I can decide whether or not Chen Le is a traitor. Senior Brother, do you want to take him to the Heavens Sect?"
"Proximity has reported this matter to the Sixverse Association, so I was about to take him to the Heavens Sect."
"In that case, let's settle this here right now. After all, I’d be the one in the Heavens Sect making the decision anyways," Lu Yin casually suggested.
Mu Ke was not an inflexible person, and he had no objection to Lu Yin’s suggestion.
Lu Yin looked at Mr. Daheng. "Why did you attack Luo Shan?"
Mr. Daheng softly answered, "I have a personal grudge against him."
"Luo Shan is currently the master of one of the Endless Frontier’s parallel universes. Did you know this?"
Mr. Daheng frowned. Was this true?
"Why was Proximity observing the Three Monarchs Universe?"
Lu Yin looked at the man. "Mr. Daheng, are you questioning me? Or do you suspect me?"
Mr. Daheng quickly backed down. "I don’t dare! It’s just very odd."
No one in the Sixverse Association would dare to offend Lu Yin, and Mr. Daheng was no exception.
The man believed that Lu Yin had most likely planned everything. Luo Shan’s current situation was quite pathetic, and Mr. Daheng did not want to end up in the same situation. Thus, he tried not to repeat Luo Shan’s mistakes.
Lu Yin laughed. "You are from the Liberation Palace, Mr. Daheng! You pursue freedom in all things, with a thought to eternity. If you have some speculation, then why suppress yourself and not say anything?"
Mr. Daheng replied, "I’m not suppressing myself. I simply don't want to make any unreasonable assumptions."
"What sort of unreasonable assumptions?" Lu Yin felt quite curious.
Mr. Daheng did not answer, instead asking, "I wonder, how will the Heavens Sect handle Luo Shan?"
Lu Yin looked away. "That is my business. By the way-"
He pulled out the Peaks and Rivers Rock from his cosmic ring and tossed it over to Mr. Daheng.
The man caught it, but did not understand. "Lord Lu, what is this?"
"Your reward. My Heavens Sect failed to help you this time around, so this is our way of apologizing," Lu Yin replied.
Mr. Daheng stared at the stone in confusion. Just what was going on? Could his guesses be entirely off? Had the Heavens Sect really not helped him because they had discovered that Proximity was observing the Three Monarchs Universe?
It was not unreasonable that Proximity would do so, as Proximity observed the entire Endless Frontier.
Mr. Daheng felt terribly confused. If Lu Yin had been targeting both Mr. Daheng and Luo Shan at the same time, then there was no reason for him to give the stone to Mr. Daheng. And yet, that was precisely what had happened.
As for Chen Le, this made it clear that he was a traitor to the Heavens Sect.
Was it possible that he had been overthinking things?
Lu Yin's expression remained calm. He still had more Peaks and Rivers Rocks. It was not possible to go to the Mirari Realm without all of the pieces, so what did it matter if Lu Yin gave a piece to Daheng? The man was a sequence powerhouse, and Lu Yin had already banished the man to the Endless Frontier as punishment. It was only proper to give him a carrot after the stick.
"Mr. Daheng, you need to be careful while you are on the Endless Frontier. Luo Shan will not let you go," Lu Yin cautioned the man.
Mr. Daheng solemnly put the stone away before bowing deeply to Lu Yin. "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your warning. I will be on guard against him."
Lu Yin nodded. "I will send a message to the people on the Endless Frontier from my Heavens Sect and ask them to help you. It’s only a thousand years, which will pass quickly."
Mr. Daheng felt a little grateful. A thousand years was indeed not long. Such a punishment could be said to be nothing more than a public showing of discipline. The man stared at Lu Yin. Just what was the young man thinking?
Could Mr. Daheng’s initial suspicions be correct?
"By the way, Mr. Daheng, you’ve been in the Sixverse Association for many years. Do you happen to know anyone who has access to a parallel universe where time flows more quickly?" Lu Yin suddenly asked while looking at Mr. Daheng.
Mr. Daheng was caught off guard by the question. "A parallel universe with accelerated time? Do you need one, Lord Lu?"
Lu Yin sighed. "In the end, I’m just too young. If I want to maintain my rate of growth, I need these universes."
Mr. Daheng's eyes flickered. "If that’s the case, then I have one, Lord Lu. As long as you don’t mind the time flow there being a bit slow, you can use it for a while."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "You have access to one? That's great!"
This was truly an unexpected bonus. Lu Yin had wanted to learn who had access to such parallel universes, and he had not expected the man to have access to one himself, much less offer it to Lu Yin. It had been a marvelous idea to ask that question.
