Chapter 1786: Kui And Luo

Chapter 1733: Kui And Luo

“This is nothing more than First Edition City’s own claim that Origin Matter appeared in the Sophic Rift. No one can actually prove this. We can’t attack Sky Creation Academy just because of something that most likely doesn’t even exist, especially if it might have come from that place,” Bluedome Elder said, “Let’s talk about the Great Eastern Alliance instead. We’ve given them a great deal of time already, and it’s time to drive them away or force them to surrender.”

As soon as he mentioned the Great Eastern Alliance, Bluedome Elder shot a subtle glance towards Master Qing Hua. If his plans had proceeded smoothly, Qing Hua would have never become one of the Four Empyreans. Lu Yin had agreed to cooperate with Madam Hong, but he had later acted against what they had agreed upon. The Great Eastern Alliance had to either leave the Outerverse or surrender to the Sixth Mainland. The five weaves that had been agreed upon could not be given to the alliance.

However, Madam Hong had also never revealed the location of Progenitor Wushang’s hide. Was it possible that Lu Yin had never given it to the woman? No, Bluedome Elder had promised to give Lu Yin five weaves for the Great Eastern Alliance even before the incident with Qing Hua. The agreement that Lu Yin had made with Madam Hong had been five weaves in exchange for Progenitor Wushang’s hide. This was something that Madam Hong had no authority to agree to, which was why she had tried to scheme against Qing Hua, as she needed a reasonable excuse to give Lu Yin the five weaves that they had agreed upon.

Quite a bit of time had passed between those two incidents, so naturally, Progenitor Wushang’s hide should have been given to Madam Hong. Why else would Madam Hong have been so determined to get approval for five weaves to be given to Lu Yin?

Progenitor Wushang’s hide had to be in Madam Hong’s possession.

As Bluedome Elder was thinking about Progenitor Wushang’s hide, Mr. Lifeview suddenly spoke up and roused the other Empyrean Imprinter. “Someone else also saw the Origin Matter: Lu Yin.”

“Lu Yin?” Bluedome Elder, Master Qing Hua, even Herb Immortal were caught off guard by this.

“Why was Lu Yin in the Sophic Rift?” Bluedome Elder asked.

Mr. Lifeview then shared the information that he had received about how the Cloud Valley Master’s swordsman and those with him had been captured and forced. The swordsman had not hid this matter, as he had known that it would be impossible to do so. All that he had kept hidden was the fact that First Edition City had wanted to completely end all cooperations with the Sixth Mainland.

Since First Edition City had proposed a new condition for them to continue cooperating, it was impossible for the Cloud Valley Master’s swordsman to reveal First Edition City’s first reaction. This was why even the Four Empyreans only knew that the Technocracy’s conditions were continuing to increase; in addition to raw materials, First Edition City was also demanding them to launch a joint attack on Sky Creation Academy. Such a change was actually perfectly normal; after all, the Sixth Mainland had been destroyed, so the amount of resources that they could give to the Technocracy had greatly diminished. It only made sense that other conditions had been proposed.

“Even Lu Yin made his way to the Technocracy’s battlefield for the Origin Matter. He must have received some inside information. It looks like the report about the Origin Matter is authentic.” Herb Immortal sighed emotionally.

Mr. Lifeview looked over at Bluedome Elder. “What are your thoughts?”

Bluedome Elder was not entirely certain. “Lu Yin is someone who will not make any moves without being certain of coming out on top. Despite his youth, he makes excellent decisions and is patient enough to wait to act. If he was not such a person, he would have never managed to achieve all that he has. Honestly, when looking at the younger generation of our Sixth Mainland, we have no one who can compare to him, no matter if we look only at their combat strength or their ability to plot. Since he appeared in the Sophic Rift, it’s very likely that the Origin Matter is real.”

“The Human Domain and First Edition City have always been enemies, so if not for something like Origin Matter, he would not have taken the risk to visit the Technocracy’s battlefield.”

Mr. Lifeview shook his head. “But he should have picked up some Origin Matter in that place.”

None of the four powerhouses could unravel this particular detail.

“Setting the issue of the Origin Matter aside for the moment, cooperating with First Edition City is unavoidable. Even if there is no Origin Matter, do we agree to these new conditions?” Herb Immortal asked.

“If we attack Sky Creation Academy, we will likely incite the wrath of that place. They abandoned the Fifth Mainland, and I do not wish to see them return. The primeval surnames are not easy to deal with.” Master Qing Hua spoke for an unusually long amount of time. He looked sloppy, and he also did not particularly care if the Sixth Mainland cooperated with First Edition City or not. Instead, he cared almost exclusively about the security of the Sixth Mainland itself.

His words were met with approval, and the four men eventually reached an agreement and contacted First Edition City to ask the city to change its conditions. In fact, the Four Empyreans had already planned to find another method of obtaining the materials that they needed to send to the Technocracy from the Fifth Mainland, such as by purchasing the materials from the Hall of Honor or something similar. However, with the realization that Lu Yin had discovered their cooperation, it would be impossible for the Sixth Mainland to get any resources from the Fifth Mainland, and the Hall of Honor had already most likely suspected the Sixth Mainland’s intentions.

However, none of the four mentioned this possibility, as they all knew for a certainty that if the Fifth Mainland learned that the Sixth Mainland had requested reinforcements from First Edition City for the Outerverse, the relationship between the two mainlands would change, and the Fifth Mainland would likely start considering war.

During this meeting, there was another decision that was reached as well, which was that all four of them would stand guard in Endless Weave, and if any of them discovered Lu Yin, they would immediately kill him.

The people of the Sixth Mainland were not stupid, and it was impossible for them to readily agree to attack Sky Creation Academy just because of a possibility that some Origin Matter had appeared in the Sophic Rift. Lu Yin also had not been certain that the Sixth Mainland would be willing to move against Sky Creation Academy, but his whole intention had merely been to place some bait.

Everything depended on whether certain people from the Sixth Mainland would be able to resist the temptation of Origin Matter, as well as their willingness to continue cooperating with First Edition City.

Lu Yin stayed in First Edition City for a few days, and during that time, he Disassembled several materials for the vice city master, and he also verified the conditions of their cooperation.

Among Lu Yin’s proposed conditions, the most important point was that First Edition City would keep an eye on Sky Creation Academy and contact him the moment another person from the Perennial World appeared.

This was also Lu Yin’s primary motivation in traveling to the Technocracy, as he could not afford to be constantly worried about being hunted down. Even though Kui Luo had appeared, Lu Yin had no certainty that the man would constantly follow him around and protect him.

Lu Yin was not confident enough to even want a Semi-Progenitor as a bodyguard, even if Kui Luo had some sort of relationship with the Lu family. If one intended to be protected at all times, then they also needed to be able to monitor their protectors.

No one had a better understanding of Sky Creation Academy than First Edition City.

Lu Yin’s time in the Technocracy was over. He had established a cooperative relationship with First Edition City, which included having First Edition City constantly surveil Sky Creation Academy for Lu Yin. He had accomplished everything that he had wanted to in the Technocracy. As for the First Protector, while he had not been able to confirm whether Sky Creation Academy was working with the Neohuman Alliance, he had learned the truth of Lu Yin’s identity. Also, Semi-Progenitors from the Perennial World had shown up, including Kui Luo. These vital details all had to be immediately reported back to the Hall of Honor.

He had also learned that Lu Yin had started cooperating with First Edition City, which meant that it was very unlikely for First Edition City to remain enemies with the Human Domain. This was incredible news.

The First Protector was silent on their way back. The Fifth Mainland held powerful hatred for the primeval surnames, and thus, he had no idea how he should deal with Lu Yin, especially since it was possible that the youth would bring down disaster upon the Fifth Mainland.

As the First Protector thought about the primeval surnames, he became both nervous and resentful.

Kui Luo had an easier time of things, as Wang Si and Bai Laogui were both still imprisoned, and it would be impossible for the Perennial World to quickly send more powerhouses of the same strength. Lu Yin should be safe for a while, and Kui Luo had always wanted to visit the Fifth Mainland.

“Kid, take me to see that stone wall,” Kui Luo said.

When Lu Yin had been in the Perennial World, he had told Kui Luo about how the old grandpa on Driftcharge Planet had carved the Stonewall Scriptures into the side of a cave. Lu Yin had also said that the old man had died, but he had agreed to take Kui Luo to visit the grandpa’s grave.

This was also why Kui Luo had been willing to help Lu Yin and had even done so much to aid Lu Yin’s escape from the Perennial World.

When Lu Yin heard Kui Luo’s request, Lu Yin explained, “He’s dead, but you can’t see him.”

Kui Luo instantly froze, and Lu Yin, the First Protector, and the two Envoy-level androids were all forced to stop at the same time.

“You lied to me?” Kui Luo’s eyes became slits that seemed to contain great evil.

Lu Yin answered in a low voice, “Am I able to recite the sutra?”

Kui Luo’s eyes narrowed even further.

“Who else knew about that aside from the person you’ve been looking for? Who else but him could have told me that scripture? Anyone at all? I didn’t lie to you, but the planet was destroyed at the same time that he died,” Lu Yin said.

“So you said that in the Middle Realm just to get me to help you.” Kui Luo gritted his teeth.

Lu Yin nodded.

Kui Luo blew out a long breath, feeling quite sullen. He had told lies his entire life, and his tongue was vicious enough to kill a person with his words alone. Still, he had never considered the possibility of this kid deceiving him.

Lu Yin shrugged. “You didn’t know my real identity back then, and if I hadn’t told you that, you probably wouldn’t have helped me, right?”

Kui Luo stared off into the distance before shaking his head in a bitter manner. “Old man, I worked so hard to get to the Forsaken Land, and I just wanted to clean your tomb. I never thought that there wouldn’t even be a tomb at all. Pitiful, just too pathetic.”

Lu Yin grew curious. “Who the hell was he? Why did he know the scriptures that were my Lu family’s inheritance? He told me that I needed to go to the Neoverse and deliver the scriptures to someone there for him. Who was that person? Why didn’t I need to look for them?”

Kui Luo laughed. “The person he told you about? That was just a decoy. It was most likely someone he picked to save the legacy of the sutra, and he most likely didn’t send you to them because he felt that you were a more reliable protector than who he was planning on sending you to. As for the sutra itself, he could have never known that he had given it to the one person who was most qualified to receive it.”

“Who was he?” Lu Yin was very curious. The old grandpa on Driftcharge Planet had given Lu Yin the greatest opportunity of his entire life. The Arcane Art—Fatal Revival had brought Lu Yin back from death several times, and the Stonewall Scriptures had also helped him live through numerous disasters. Finally, with the help of the Cosmic Sect, it was possible for Lu Yin to receive Progenitor Chen’s inheritance in the future. Without that old man, Lu Yin would have almost none of the incredible techniques that had paved his cultivation path.

He really wanted to build a monument to that grandpa.

Kui Luo glanced over at the First Protector and then at Lu Yin. After thinking for a bit, he finally spoke to only Lu Yin. “My name isn’t Kui Luo.”

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide; was this was not Kui Luo?

“You aren’t Kui Luo? That’s impossible!” Many people had recognized the old man, and what other Semi-Progenitor was as vicious with their words as Kui Luo?

Kui Luo slowly explained, “Kui Luo was actually always two people—one named Kui, and the other Luo. I am Kui, while the old man that you knew was Luo.”

Lu Yin was stunned. “Are you for real?”

Kui Luo nodded. “Absolutely. When the Lu family was exiled, we were both caught up in the mess, and we were forced to separate as we fled. Old Luo might have been captured, which was why I’ve always been searching for him.”

“But didn’t you fake your own death a long time ago? Why did you force yourself to keep suffering?”

“As I said, we followed the Lu family, but no one knew who we were. I’ve been looking for Old Luo everywhere in the Perennial World for so many years, but I have never found any trace of him. I didn’t think to look for him here.”

“What was your connection to the Lu family? Why did Old Luo know those scriptures?” Lu Yin asked.

Kui Luo rolled his eyes. “I’ve told you repeatedly: become an Envoy, and then I’ll tell you. Focus on your cultivation until then.”

Lu Yin pursed his lips, but did not respond.

“Also, where did Old Luo’s grandson come from? Do you know anything about him?” Kui Luo was quite curious about this. When Lu Yin had first mentioned how Luo’s grandson had died on Driftcharge Planet, Kui Luo had been very intrigued, but he had never had the opportunity to ask about it.

Lu Yin quickly shared the story of what had happened at the Cosmic Sect, though he did keep the fact that the pattern was on the bottom of his foot a secret.
