Chapter 2638: Found It
Lu Yin was astonished by You Fang's unshakeable confidence. "Is that why you are willing to grant me the power to monitor the entire Transcendent Universe, Senior?"
You Fang replied, "Youre answering pretty quickly, but your conclusion is wrong. I always intended to give you access to the surveillance system."
The mans expression suddenly turned solemn. "After all, only by giving you what you want will I be able to see your true intentions."
The sight of the Transcendent Universes starry expanse was not much different from the Fifth Mainlands. The sun of the You family's home planet soon dipped down to reveal the night sky, which let Lu Yin see one of Leles miniature bestowal art carriers hovering nearby in outer space. It subtly illuminated the planet, shining down upon billions of people.
As he looked up at the bestowal art carrier, he noticed that it was shaped like a rabbit. The strange shape gave Lu Yin a bit of insight into Lele's rather twisted sense of humor. The billions of people living on the planet had no option but to live with that bizarre moon.
Over the course of his day, Lu Yins interactions with both You Fang and Lele had given him the impression that both father and daughter were rather flippant about everything. They seemed to have no concerns and were extremely self-confident. In fact, their portrayed confidence was so extreme that Lu Yin would believe it if they thought that they were the true rulers of the Transcendent Universe.
How many black energy converters did the You family have secreted away? Lu Yin was quite curious about that. Furthermore, how much further had they developed the Bestowal Art beyond what they had released to the public?
"I made it look really cute, didn't I?" You Lele chirped, pointing up at the night sky as she suddenly appeared just outside the courtyard that Lu Yin had been given.
Xu Yue also arrived. "Lele, you are completely shameless! How is that pig cute?"
"It's clearly a rabbit! Stupid Yue Yue!" Lele responded furiously as she started chasing Xu Yue around.
Lu Yin closed his window. You Lele was really stubborn. She was keeping an extremely close eye on him. The You family had to have a deeper purpose in targeting him so openly, but Lu Yin had never dealt with such a situation before.
Truthfully, it was quite a pain to deal with people who were both intelligent and extremely confident, especially because the father and daughter duo had actually hit the nail on the head.
Normally, Lu Yin and the rest of the bureau would have to comb through the gathered data before they could determine where to start investigating.
Lu Yin went to meet with You Fang again, and he asked that the Voidforce Universes bureau members be granted access to the Transcendent Universes coordinate seal.
The man did not refuse, and he even personally led Xuan Qi to the coordinate seal and allowed the young man to leave a mark on it.
Each universe in the Sixverse Association had coordinate seals that foreigners were allowed to use to find and access the universe. In the past, Xuan Qi had not had a high enough status to qualify to use it, but that had more than changed.
Now, Lu Yin had gained open access to both the Voidforce Universe and the Transcendent Universe. He was also able to get to the Three Monarchs Universe with the members of the Fenglei clan. He was still missing access to the Arboreal Realm, the Lost Clans universe, and the Cyclic Universe.
In the following days, You Lele sat outside of Lu Yin's quarters every single day. She had no concern for appearances, and no one in her family reprimanded her for her behavior. She only watched Lu Yin, which was both exhausting and frustrating.
Tearing through the void, Lu Yin returned to Aeternus Nation.
The You family was absolutely convinced that Xuan Qi had an ulterior motive in approaching them, and since that was the case, there was no need for him to continue hiding things. He would allow them to figure things outthat is, if they were able to do so.
After arriving in Aeternus Nation, Lu Yin met with Luo Lao'er and took him back to the Transcendent Universe.
"Brother-in-law, can you really enter the Transcendent Universe on your own now? Not even I can do that!" Luo Lao'er exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yin had brought Luo Lao'er to the Transcendent Universe so that he could get in touch with his mysterious information broker. As long as Lu Yin was in the Transcendent Universe, he would be able to use either his die's Possession by consuming the Transcendent Universe's resources, or he could use Luo Laoers methods. At the moment, Lu Yin had none of the Transcendent Universes resources, so he hoped to be able to buy some hints on where to start investigating.
"He has it!" Luo Lao'er shouted as he stared at the information appearing on his dark green lens.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Lu Yin arched a brow. Was it actually possible to buy information on spies? "Is it really completely impossible to find out who this person is?"
"At the least, I can't find out," Luo Lao'er said helplessly.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. It seemed that his first order of business was going to be to acquire some of the Transcendent Universes resources. Possessing people to obtain their memories remained his most reliable method of acquiring information. If Luo Laoers information broker was able to sell information regarding spies, then this person had most likely already uncovered Luo Lao'er's true identity, and they might have even discovered clues regarding Lu Yin's true identity.
At this thought, Lu Yin quickly sent Luo Lao'er back to Aeternus Nation.
At the same time, elsewhere, illuminated by a dim firelight, a man appeared rather confused. "Luo Qian? Why is he buying information about spies? Has he returned?
"There's no reason for him to buy information about spies. If hes doing that, then who is he buying the information for? The You family? Or could it be someone else?
People always feared the unknown, and even intelligent people like You Lele, who enjoyed exploring the unknown, felt intimidated by the lines that had appeared. No one dared to move.
The lens that covered You Leles right eye started continuously flashing red, warning her of danger.
At the same moment, various monitoring systems were also triggered. The moment the Spiral Domain appeared, the entire region started to erupt.
Whenever the Transcendent Universe detected an energy that was beyond their knowledge, it would immediately be reported to the Ruling Council, as well as to peak powerhouses who possessed black energy converters.
It took mere moments for a shadow to descend, accompanied by the overwhelming pressure of a black energy converter that caused the void to start to warp.
Lu Yin understood that, while there were various drawbacks to energy converters, their greatest advantage was concealment. If a power converter was not equipped, no one would ever know if a powerful individual was right next to them.
"Senior, this junior is Xuan Qi, and I have been ordered to search for spies," Lu Yin said with a bow.
The man who arrived looked rather intimidating. He had an angular face, and all of the exposed portions of his arms were covered with scars. He examined the lines of the Spiral Domain and asked, "Is this Spiral Domain?"
"Do you know it, Senior?" Lu Yin replied.
The man nodded. "I've seen it a few times on the Endless Frontier. Are you the Xuan Qi who is the Voidforce Universes Acting Bureau Director who inherited the Spiral Domain from Senior Xu Wuwei?"
"I am."
The man looked impressed. I heard that you had comprehended Spiral Domain, and in less than a year at that. I didnt actually believe it before, but the proof is right in front of me. You are truly a prodigy.
I am Wen Shi, the current guardian of the Transcendent Universe. If there is anything that you need, feel free to reach out to me. Spies are like rats, a terrible nuisance. If you can eradicate them, I'll be forever grateful to you."
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "I will not betray your expectations, Senior."
Wen Shi nodded, briefly glanced over at You Lele, and left.
From the moment Lu Yin released his voidforce energy, he had started silently counting. It had taken only five breaths for Wen Shi to arrive. Just five breaths.
In that case, how had a spy managed to destroy the research data? It would only be possible if Wen Shi had not been nearby at the time and had only rushed over after the data was already destroyed.
It was possible that he had not been nearby. After all, not even a Progenitor could cross the entire Transcendent Universe in an instant.
The grid disappeared.
Everyone else within its range was finally able to breathe normally again.
You Lele moved closer to Lu Yin, her eyes sparkling. "What is that power? I cant understand it at all!"
Lu Yin casually brushed her aside. "Follow me."
"Acting Bureau Director, where are we going?" Boss Guan asked.
Lu Yin appeared determined. "I've found some tracks."
Everyone was surprised. So soon?
You Lele was incredibly skeptical. How could any developments have come so quickly?
Regardless of whether they believed him, Lu Yin led everyone along a strange path that led in a specific direction. He was deliberately following the path instead of traveling in a straight line. Since he had claimed that his Spiral Domain allowed him to see evidence of peoples movement through the void, it was important that he deliver a convincing performance.
