Chapter 1247: Eversky Island’s Style

Chapter 1190: Eversky Island’s Style

Out of the nine overseers, Bu Laoweng was known for being the overseer with the best temperament and the one who listened to others the most readily. As a result, he was extremely well liked and never offended anyone. He even frequently defended the interests of those in the bottom ranks of the Hall of Honor, which had led to him having an excellent reputation within the Hall of Honor.

Of particular note was that he did not put on any airs. He once stated that, for any urgent matters, people were welcome to visit his home and speak to him directly without any need to file a report or suffer through the time-consuming bureaucracy. In an emergency, it was best to take care of things sooner rather than later.

After saying this, Bu Laoweng had followed through with his words, and as long as a person could find Bu Laoweng’s home, they were welcome to freely enter.

Without mentioning the nine overseers, even those within the Hall of Honor with far less authority would not be willing to do such a thing, but this had been Bu Laoweng’s standard policy for hundreds of years, and it caused countless people to admire him.

There was another point of importance that Bu Laoweng had mentioned to Lu Yin. He had truly never used his privilege as an overseer to ignore anything stopping a decision that he had made.

If not for his grandson and the opportunity that the Outerverse presented, Bu Laoweng would have thought to use this privilege against Lu Yin, as doing so would completely offend Eversky Island.

Regardless of whether or not Bu Laoweng’s actions were an act, he had still followed through on what he said, and it had garnered a great deal of admiration from many people.

At the present moment, just as in the past, Bu Laoweng’s home was open for all to enter whenever there was an emergency. So, right when Highsage Wudi entered his home, he heard Bu Laoweng saying, “Insolent! Junior, do not think that Eversky Island’s backing is enough for you to speak to me in such a tone! Eversky Island has but a few people… I will use my position as an overseer to take an action that can only be used once every hundred years. I will imprison you until you are cleared of all suspicion! You will not be able to get out of this.”

“There is a privilege given to each of the nine overseers. Once every hundred years, we are allowed to veto anything that would interfere with a decision. Junior, I have not used this privilege for hundreds of years, but I will do so for you.”

…

Highsage Wudi silently watched and listened as Bu Laoweng and Lu Yin argued back and worth. Highsage Wude did not move an inch.

“I really don’t understand. Is it really worth it to offend Eversky Island just to gain control of Outerverse? You’re just an overseer, and you can be replaced at any time.” Lu Yin was a bit confused.

Bu Laoweng coldly replied, “What about Eversky Island? They can do nothing to this old man, and that’s not even mentioning how I truly do suspect you of betraying my Fifth Mainland. Even if Eversky Island wants to intervene, it will be useless. I will be the one to ultimately decide your fate.

“I will keep you detained for a hundred years, and by then, you will no longer be considered a part of the younger generation. Thus, you will no longer be an Honor Chosen! This is an authority given only to us overseers, and no one can help you with this.”

…

Highsage Wudi silently turned around and left, his expression dark.

In the CyNet World, Lu Yin coldly looked at Bu Laoweng. For the sake of his grandson, the old man was ready to completely cast aside his face and reputation. He did not even care about Eversky Island’s possible retaliation. Wait, he’s held his position for hundreds of years. Could he be hoping for his grandson to take over his position as overseer after stepping down?

Although such a thing seemed farfetched, if Bu Laoweng’s grandson could gain experience by supervising the entire Outerverse, it would paint him as a golden child. Then, it would no longer be impossible for him to attain such a high position, especially after a few more decades of work.

For his grandson, the old man had been scheming for a long time, as there was no other reason for him to be so desperate when Lu Yin threatened to pull Tian Shao down.

For the sake of his grandson’s future as an overseer, Bu Laoweng would not hesitate to offend anyone.

While Lu Yin was contemplating the possibilities, the display surrounding him suddenly disappeared. Lu Yin turned to give Zi Jing a strange look, only to see someone else behind her: Highsage Wudi.

Highsage Wudi’s expression was quite bad.

“Senior Wudi?” Lu Yin wondered what could have happened.

Highsage Wudi moved next to Lu Yin and set a hand on the youth’s shoulder. “What a bunch of bullshit! Today, I’ll show you how Eversky Island handles things!”

With that, Highsage Wudi disappeared, along with Lu Yin.

Zi Jing facepalmed; something big was about to happen.

At the Alliance Convention in the Outerverse, Lu Yin’s image had suddenly disappeared, much to the crowd’s confusion.

Bu Laoweng also felt that this was strange. He had actually expected that Lu Yin to give up on the Outerverse, as Bu Laoweng truly did not want to offend the Eversky Island over such a matter, let alone offend Yuan Shi. However, he had no other choice. Bu Laoweng would have to abdicate his position in just a few more decades at most. He had actually started putting plans in motion a hundred years ago so that his son could receive his position and become an overseer, but an accident had occurred. Fortunately, Bu Laoweng still had a grandson.

The original timeframe for his plans was not quick enough, and his grandson was much too young. Even though Bu Laoweng’s plans required some hundred years for his grandson to become an overseer, nobody could have expected a massive piece of cake like the Outerverse to fall down from the sky. As long as Tian Shao could handle the Outerverse for a hundred years, and with Bu Laoweng’s original preparations, it would be enough for Tian Shao to become an overseer within a hundred years. That would make him the youngest overseer in history.

Bu Laoweng had given up too much for this opportunity. He made a point to never offend people, to always maintain amicable relationships, and managing everything had left him both physically and mentally exhausted. Still, the Outerverse was a shortcut, and for the opportunity to seize such a shortcut, Bu Laoweng would offend anyone that he had to.

He simply hoped that Lu Yin would know how to behave. Hopefully, there would be no incidents along the path that Bu Laoweng had paved for his grandson.

Suddenly, Bu Laoweng’s image also disappeared.

The crowd was all wondering what had happened. First, Lu Yin had disappeared, and then Bu Laoweng had vanished as well. What had happened?

Back in the Neoverse, the top of Mt. Microcosms trembled, shocking countless people throughout the Hall of Honor. Was the Neohuman Alliance attacking again?

At this moment, Lu Yin was shocked to his core, as he was watching Highsage Wudi attack the peak of Mt. Microcosms. Yes, Highsage Wudi was striking Mt. Microcosms, the same Mt. Microcosms that was the headquarters of the entire Hall of Honor, the core of the whole Human Domain that hid dozens of worlds. Highsage Wudi was decisive, and he struck down with another palm. This was insane!

Lu Yin was quite bold, but at this moment, he felt that he could not even come close to Highsage Wudi. This man was simply crazy!

Lu Yin felt a flurry of breaths as many powerhouses reached out to Highsage Wudi. “Senior Wudi, what are you doing?”

“Brother Wudi, what is it that you need to say?”

“Highsage Wudi, have you gone crazy?”

…

Lu Yin felt his scalp tingle. He felt the presence of countless experts converge upon their location, more than what he could have ever imagined. It felt like there were hundreds of thousands of powerhouses, but could there really be so many top experts in the universe? Wasn’t Highsage Wudi simply poking the hornet’s nest?

The peak of Mt. Microcosms was being attacked by Highsage Wudi, and Bu Laoweng also stepped out to see what was happening. His face went white when he looked up and saw Highsage Wudi and Lu Yin standing there. Bu Laoweng’s pupils shrank, and his heart dropped.

Highsage Wudi looked at the overseer with a cold smile. “Bu Laoweng, Eversky Island and I really don’t have much influence, so I can only meet you by using this method. Can my junior brother’s position as an Honor Chosen be returned, or do you want my master to show up himself? I don’t know if the words ‘Highsage Master’ are enough for you, but Bu Laoweng, could you be magnanimous this time?”

Lu Yin blinked. Highsage Wudi was referring to the conversation that had just taken place between him and Bu Laoweng! How had Lu Yin’s senior brother heard of it?

Bu Laoweng believed that Lu Yin was behind this, so he quickly and loudly replied, “Senior Wudi, don’t listen to these young troublemakers! I, Bu Laoweng, have been in the Hall of Honor for so many years, and you know very well how I behave. How could I besmirch your Eversky Island?”

One figure after another appeared and gathered around the unfolding scene. There were both men and women, young and old, and everyone was staring at the scene while keeping a wary eye on Highsage Wudi.

Despite everyone around him being on full alert, Highsage Wudi was completely unconcerned. At his level, there were simply too few people who could suppress him, even within the Hall of Honor. This was a sacred place for countless people, but despite that, he still dared to strike.

Lu Yin was thoroughly convinced that this was simply the nature of everyone from Eversky Island. For example, Highsage Leon had created Leon’s Armada, which was the most powerful fleet of pirates in the entire Human Domain, and people even called him the Pirate King.

As for Highsage Shenwei, despite his age, he still spoke and acted as recklessly as a young rogue. While Lu Yin had initially believed that Highsage Wudi was a normal person, he could have never guessed how brazen Eversky Island’s eldest disciple truly was.

Would a normal person ever even consider attacking the Hall of Honor? This was simply unbelievable, and Lu Yin’s world was currently being overturned.

However, when he glanced at the expressions of the people surrounding them, Lu Yin started to suspect that this might not be the first time that Highsage Wudi had done such a thing. No, it was very likely not the first time.

Highsage Wudi stared at Bu Laoweng with cold eyes. “I heard it with my own ears. You said that my Eversky Island has no influence, so I guess that this is as influential as I can be.”

Bu Laoweng’s expression grew ugly. He finally remembered that his home was open to all visitors, let alone a powerhouse like Highsage Wudi.

The people surrounding Highsage Wudi all looked over at Bu Laoweng. Although Highsage Wudi was bold, he was not an unreasonable person, and it seemed like the reason behind his behavior had finally been revealed.

The Hall of Honor was a very complex organization, and other than the Interstellar Supreme Court, there was also the Lockbreaker Society and several other major organizations. There were more subtle divisions, such as the nine overseers who focused more on dealing with the outside world, and there were also some who specialized in dealing with powerhouses or guarding Mt. Microcosms. None of these departments ever interfered with each other’s work.

At this moment, due to Highsage Wudi moving against Bu Laoweng, all of these people had become involved.

The cultivators guarding Mt. Microcosms were all very powerful, but they were not even close to Highsage Wudi’s level. So, they were left with no choice but to reach out to the Arbitration World and ask the Chief Justice to come out.

However, the Chief Justice had not appeared, and he had simply ignored the requests.

Someone sent a message to Bu Laoweng, asking him to admit his mistake. Actually, it was not just one person; nearly everyone present was asking Bu Laoweng to admit to his mistake.

Bu Laoweng was someone who was extremely well liked within the Hall of Honor, and he had worked there for hundreds of years. So naturally, many people spoke up for him.

“Senior Wudi, Overseer Bu Laoweng did not mean to besmirch Eversky Island. If he has offended your Eversky Island, then please allow him to apologize. There is no need to take action and hurt the peace,” someone said.

“Yes, Brother Wudi, Bu Laoweng is but a child to you. Why concern yourself with a child?”

“Senior Wudi, wouldn’t it be better to allow Bu Laoweng to apologize? As for the position of the child beside you, as long as things are done legally and properly, his status can be immediately restored.”

…

Highsage Wudi looked down at Bu Laoweng from high above, waiting for the overseer’s response.

At this moment, several more figures arrived, and they situated themselves not too far away from the elderly overseer. When Lu Yin looked over, he saw that there were four people: an old man, two middle-aged men, and a white-haired woman with a beautiful face.

These people had caught Lu Yin’s attention precisely because they had not joined everyone else and surrounded Highsage Wudi. Instead, their presence felt invisible, but they also felt very similar to Bu Laoweng. If Lu Yin’s guess was not wrong, then these four were also overseers. Realizing this caused Lu Yin to pay more attention to the four people because the old man had black and white hair with a touch of gray in the middle. He should be the overseer from the Daynight clan, Nightking Zheng.

The white-haired woman who had appeared with the three men bowed in a dignified manner. She seemed to have a soft and comfortable temperament with the appearance of a classic beauty.

Highsage Wudi looked at her. “Xin Jiao, it has truly been a long time since I last saw you.”

The woman’s name was Xin Jiao, and she was indeed one of the nine overseers, being known as Overseer Xin.

Xin Jiao looked up at Highsage Wudi. “I wonder, what has Bu Laoweng done to offend Senior Wudi and anger you so? I remember that such a thing has not happened in a long time.”

Highsage Wudi stared at Bu Laoweng. “It’s true that I never meddle in the Neoverse’s affairs. Eversky Island has always remained above such things, but if you guys are going to act so brazenly, then I will no longer take things lying down. My junior brother is one of your Hall of Honor’s Honor Chosen, but due to certain events, his qualifications were temporarily rescinded. The Chief Justice recently agreed to return everything back to as it was before, but Overseer Bu Laoweng dared to state that he will retain my junior disciple by using his privilege as an overseer and force my junior brother to be imprisoned for a hundred years. I’m simply here to find out why.”
