Chapter 2938: Hard To See Through

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.

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?"

"I did."

"And yet, despite knowing that, you still attacked him. It sounds like you deliberately intended to disrupt the Endless Frontier. That is no small matter."

Mr. Daheng took a deep breath. "Luo Shan and I have a very deep personal grudge. He happened to have been recently injured, so I took the opportunity to try to get revenge. I did not give the matter much thought."

Lu Yin nodded. "You’re a cultivator, and revenge is only normal. Fortunately, Luo Shan is fine, which means that your crimes are not unforgivable."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yin asked.aid, "Do you have any objection to being punished with a thousand years of service on the Endless Frontier?"

Mr. Daheng’s face twitched. “No.”

Lu Yin nodded. "Good."

Lu Yin had used Mr. Daheng to deal with Luo Shan, but it was impossible for Lu Yin to actually kill Luo Shan. This was because, right before Luo Shan had escaped from the battle against Shaman God, he had mentioned something to Lu Yin. That comment about hoping that Lu Yin would not betray humanity had made Lu Yin spare the Monarch’s life.

Lu Yin did have a grudge against Luo Shan, and he was also certain that if there was any opening, Luo Shan would not hesitate to kill him. Still, before anything else, Luo Shan was the master of the Three Monarchs Universe, which was a part of the Endless Frontier. It was possible for any attack against the Monarch to fail, and the best use of Luo Shan was to leave him on the Endless Frontier as a guard dog to fight against the Aeternals.

The same was true of Mr. Daheng. That man likely hated Lu Yin nearly as much as Luo Shan, but things had not yet reached the point where Lu Yin needed to kill the Arborean. Sending him to fight in the Endless Frontier was the best option.

Lu Yin’s desire to unite the Sixverse Association not only stemmed from his desire to have the entire Sixverse Association acknowledge him, but also the desire to eliminate all internal threats and all enemies of humanity. Those people needed to be sent to the Endless Frontier so that everyone else would be willing to listen to Lu Yin. This was his domineering nature.

Mu Ke left. Since the punishment had been doled out and Mr. Daheng had accepted it, there was nothing left to be done.

Once Mu Ke left, Lu Yin approached Mr. Daheng and looked past the man, at Chen Le. "It isn’t easy to cultivate to the level of a Progenitor. Do you want to die?"

By now, Mr. Daheng might have guessed that, even if Lu Yin had been using Mr. Daheng to deal with Luo Shan, Mr. Daheng had also been a target of Lu Yin’s scheme. The man might have realized that Luo Shan had not sent Chen Le to join the Heavens Sect.

There was a chance that Luo Shan had sent Chen Le to the Heavens Sect, but it was no longer guaranteed. The truth could not change the current situation.

As long as Mr. Daheng was alive, the current situation could be maintained. In the end, it was just a simple command.

Chen Le had never answered Mr. Daheng, as he had been considering Lu Yin\'s intentions.

"I don\'t want to die," Chen Le answered weakly.

Lu Yin looked up. "Return to the Heavens Sect. I will decide your fate there."

Chen Le shakily rose to his feet and offered Lu Yin a deep bow.

Lu Yin turned his attention to Mr. Daheng. "I’ll have Wu Heng take Chen Le to the Heavens Sect if you have no objections, Mr. Daheng."

Mr. Daheng stared at Lu Yin. "That’s your decision, Lord Lu."

Wu Heng nodded and moved to help Chen Le. Both men left.

Soon, everyone left, leaving only Mr. Daheng and Lu Yin remained in the Liberation Palace.

Lu Yin sat down. "Mr. Daheng, it looks like things did not go well?"

"Luo Shan escaped," Mr. Daheng stated.

Lu Yin shrugged. "He fled, but he’s just a homeless dog. You already helped me uncover that traitor Chen Le, which is very good."

Mr. Daheng secretly sneered. He no longer knew whether Chen Le had betrayed the Heavens Sect. No one from the Origin Universe had come to help in the battle against Luo Shan, and that battle had even been discovered by the Sixverse Association. It was too much of a coincidence, and Mr. Daheng knew that someone had plotted against him.

In the past, I always focused on Luo Shan. My past prejudices caused me to ignore this person. He might be young, yet his schemes run deeper than anyone else’s.

"Lord Lu, when I was fighting against Luo Shan in the Three Monarchs Universe, why did no one from the Heavens Sect help me?" Mr. Daheng asked. His voice was flat, but his meaning was very clear.

Lu Yin calmly replied, "My people noticed that Proximity was observing the Three Monarchs Universe, so of course they weren’t able to do anything."

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.
