Chapter 2636: A Formal Invitation

Chapter 2636: A Formal Invitation

Chou Bao coldly stated, Old Dian knew that he was risking his life when he chose to break this places rules. You can purchase his life with four Void Morphora-level corpse kings, but there are no exceptions to the New Inns rules.

Look around at the people here. Do you think that they don't want to leave? Many of them have enemies who are long since dead, which means that they could enjoy living out the rest of their lives in the Voidforce Universe, but because of the rules, they can't leave this place. Their only option is to stay here at the New Inn until they die. Their lives are also lives.

Four Void Morphora-level corpse kings can alleviate the hatred that they hold towards Old Dian for breaking the rules, but the rules cannot be allowed to be broken.

Lu Yin glanced around. Every time Old Dian was mentioned, the staffs expressions showed disgust and irritation. Which of them did not want to leave? Who would willingly wait for death in the New Inn? Waiting for death was an even worse torture than facing death itself, but all of these people still obeyed the rules and remained at the New Inn. They hated Old Dian for breaking the rules.

Four Void Morphora-level corpse kings was a steep price to pay, but the other people of the New Inn would only be able to suppress their dissatisfaction with Old Dian. That was as far as they were willing to go, and if the rules were broken again, the New Inn would fall apart.

Even before making the trip to the New Inn, Lu Yin had understood that it would be difficult to take Old Dian away. After arriving, he had realized that, unless the New Inn was destroyed, it would be impossible to succeed. Not even Xu Wuwei could take Old Dian away, as doing so would invalidate the purpose of the New Inn's existence.

Chou Bao continued to stare at Lu Yin. Now, are you still willing to pay for Old Dians life with the lives of four Void Morphora-level corpse kings?Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Xu Wuji gripped Lu Yin's shoulder, Don't be impulsive.

Lu Yin smiled. Of course. Fighting Aeternus is everyone's responsibility. Even if I had never met Old Dian, I, Xuan Qi, would still destroy four, forty, or even four hundred Void Morphora-level corpse kings, as long as it is possible for me to do so.

Chou Bao's eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Yin, admiration filling them. Give my regards to Senior Xu Wuwei.

Lu Yin nodded.

Before long, Lu Yin and Xu Wuji left the New Inn.

Xuan Qi, youre far too impulsive. Aeternus's Void Morphora-level corpse kings are not easy to kill. As soon as we show up, they escape, but against opponents in the same realm of cultivation, corpse kings unquestionably hold the advantage, especially if theyve mastered the Corpse King Transformation. Those are practically impossible to kill. If we run into one of the Seven Skygods avatars, even we Void Supremas would struggle, Xu Wuji chastised.

Lu Yin just shrugged. I didnt have a choice, Senior. I was forced to agree.

Xu Wuji was taken aback. "I thought that you were being truly righteous and noble."

Lu Yin chuckled. "Thats partially true, as I absolutely do want to annihilate Aeternus, and Ill do everything I can to see that happen. However, I also want to survive."

Xu Wuji laughed loudly and tossed Lu Yin a drink. "Now that's more like it! I knew that something was off about you. How could anyone capable of outsmarting spies be so impulsive? Still, you now need to defeat four Void Morphora-level corpse kings, which won't be easy."

Lu Yin took a sip of his drink. "I can take things slow. Chou Bao never specified a deadline for me. Maybe I'll get lucky and stumble upon a few severely wounded corpse kings that I'll be able to eliminate one day."

"Keep dreaming." Xu Wuji chuckled.

While Old Dian was not able to return to the Bureau, Lu Yin had made an earnest effort.

After leaving the New Inn, he hurried back to where Chou Bao had captured Old Dian. A family lived there, and they were descendants of the Bai clan that was a part of the bloodline of Old Dian's mentor. The old man had kept an eye on this family for decades, waiting for his mysterious enemy to reveal themselves. Lu Yin felt that this enemy had likely leaked the news that Old Dian was working for the Bureau to the New Inn in hopes of pulling Old Dian away so that he could attack the family.

However, after considering the matter more carefully, Lu Yin felt that his initial suspicions were rather improbable. The family was nothing but ordinary humans, so even if the enemy discovered them, they would not go to extreme lengths to eliminate them. It was not easy to pass information to the New Inn, and Chou Bao was no fool. He would not allow himself to be manipulated.

Regardless, Lu Yin kept an eye on the family. Since he had failed to bring Old Dian back, he could only do his best to fulfill his promise to the man.

However, this also meant that Lu Yin now had another problem. He had been hoping to have Old Dian accompany him to the Transcendent Universe and assist him in rooting out spies there. Having a Semi-Progenitor present would offer Lu Yin a good excuse for various matters that would otherwise be impossible to explain. With Old Dian out of the picture, where would he find another Void Morphora?

Semi-Progenitors level experts were regarded as elites in any universe. Progenitor-level figures were beyond rare, but while Semi-Progenitor level experts were comparatively more common, their numbers were still extremely limited. It would not be easy to find one willing to follow him.

Xu Wuji raised an eyebrow. "You want to a Void Morphora to accompany you?"

Lu Yin nodded, unperturbed by the possibility of Xu Wuji suspecting him for having ulterior motives over his excessive efforts in trying to bring Old Dian back. Who would not want a Void Morphora?

Xu Wuji rubbed his forehead. "It wont be easy to find a Void Morphora willing to help you. Let me ask around and see if theres anyone willing to make this trip with you, but don't get your hopes up. Every Void Morphora is trying to break through to the next level."

"If its impossible to find anyone, then there's nothing that we can do about it," Lu Yin said.

Xu Wuji left, looking for a Void Morphora to join the Bureau and accompany Xuan Qi, even only temporarily.

However, just as the man had suspected, not a single Void Morphora was willing to join the Bureau. All of them were either focused on their own cultivation or needed elsewhere. Who in the world was free enough to accompany Xuan Qi to the Transcendent Universe? Ultimately, Xu Wuji could only offer Lu Yin a bit of consolation and some resources.

Lu Yin bluntly asked for a white energy converter, only to have the request instantly shot down by Xu Wuji.

A white energy converter was no different from finding a free Semi-Progenitor. Even if the Transcendent Universe was willing to sell such a thing to Xu Wuji due to his status as a peak powerhouse, the man would have to pay a steep price for such a treasure.

"If you're that worried, just don't go," Xu Wuji said, rolling his eyes.

Lu Yin sighed in resignation. "Then just forget it."

"I do have one suggestion for yousince You Fang has invited you to the Transcendent Universe, ask him for a white energy converter. The You family should have some," Xu Wuji casually remarked. Of course, that was also not going to happen. Publicly, the Transcendent Universe admitted to only having thirty white energy converters in total. This was Xu Wujis hint for Xuan Qi to give up.

Since he had failed to obtain any real help from Xu Wuji, Lu Yin could only take Boss Guan, Skinner, Xu Ji, and Xu Yue with him to the Transcendent Universe.

While Lu Yin was making his various preparations, the You family had officially submitted a proposal to the Ruling Council to invite Xuan Qi to assist the Transcendent Universes Bureau to capture spies. The Ruling Council did not hesitate at all to report the matter to He Ran, and she instantly agreed to it.

"Youre willing to allow Xuan Qi to get closer to the You family?" Uncle Mo's voice rang out.

He Ran's expression turned heavy. "The You family only submitted their proposal as a formality. Even if the Ruling Council had refused, they still would have invited Xuan Qi.

"Would the You family really openly defy the Ruling Council?"

"I cant say, as no one knows how strong the You family truly is. For the moment, I just want to find out Xuan Qis attitude."

"Ill bring him to you."

"Thats not necessary. Well just wait and see. The You family may have always been indifferent to the Ruling Council, but they have always been polite to me. Despite us having several plans thats targeted them, they have never retaliated. This sudden invitation to Xuan Qi might really be because they want to capture spies.

What about Bai Qian? Has she had any contact with the You family recently?"

"No, I have been keeping a very close eye on her, and she has not had any contact with the You family. Also, they will never interfere in this sort of competition."
