Chapter 2685: Appearance

Lu Yins hand rose, and he set it on Xiao Hai's shoulder. "Take me there."

Xiao Hai quickly replied, "Teacher's laboratory was moved to some unknown location. I cant find it now."

Lu Yins fingers squeezed slightly, and there was a snap as Xiao Hai's shoulder shattered. Severe pain swept over him, and the man almost passed out. How could someone like him endure such severe pain?

"Are you messing with me? Ill tell you once moretake me there." Lu Yin's voice grew cold.

Xiao Hai's body twitched from the pain he was suffering, and beads of sweat covered him as he hurriedly nodded. "I understand. Ill take you there right now."

The massive battle in the Transcendent Universe had not ended yet, and it had even spread to envelop an entire fifth of the universe. This battle between several peak powerhouses had already drawn the attention of the entire Sixverse Association, though given the situation, even the Cyclic Universe would struggle to get involved, and few even arrived to observe the battle.

Lu Yin completely ignored the battle, as he was focused solely on acquiring the black energy converter.

Gaining a black energy converter meant giving the Heavens Sect one more peak powerhouse, which was a very important task.

Xiao Hai's teacher was the old man who was even able to reprimand He Ran. He had such a high status in the Transcendent Universe that, according to Xiao Hai, he was able to meet with Lord Wei any time he wished. This was something beyond even You Fang. In fact, no one from the Wei family was allowed to freely meet with Lord Wei.

The only reason why the old man had managed to survive for so long without cultivating was because he continuously changed bodies, and this allowed him to achieve a different kind of immortality.

Everyone was aware that the old man had a high status, but no one knew that he also had a black energy converter.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

This particular black energy converter could be considered a gift from the ruler of the Transcendent Universe. No one else knew about it, which was also why the old man did not care about it and had never had any intention of using it. If not for this, the universe would have another peak powerhouse.

Outsiders truly underestimated the Transcendent Universe.

It was very likely that the universe had a number of people who were capable of using black energy converters, and as long as those bodies were given to the right people, the universe could gain a number of peak powerhouses very quickly and could make up for their relatively lacking numbers.

The Transcendent Universe was able to quickly produce ten or more peak powerhouses in this manner, which was something that the Three Monarchs Universe could not hope to match. When this was combined with the Bestowal Art, the Transcendent Universe was no weaker than any other member of the Sixverse Association.

Of course, the old mans laboratory was inaccessible to most people, but Xiao Hai was allowed in. If not for that, Lu Yin would have had to force his way in, and there was a possibility that doing so would alert Lord Wei. That was something that Lu Yin definitely wanted to avoid.

The only thing that was clear was that there was an unusual relationship between the old man and the ruler of the universe, and no one knew what the old man was researching.

As Lu Yin looked at the black energy converter in front of him, his eyes lit up. On the other hand, Xiao Hais expression grew ugly. He was literally staring at the dream that he had spent years working for, but now, he was about to lose it forever.

Lu Yin stretched out a hand to grab the black energy converter, when suddenly, he felt intense danger as his scalp went numb. Without any hesitation, he used the spatial lines in his vision to move away. The very next moment, a beam of annihilation swept through the lab, erasing everything in its path in an instant, including Xiao Hai, who was not even able to react.

Lu Yin appeared outside of the laboratory, and he glanced around. He was unable to see anything from his current position, but as he fled, he had clearly seen Xiao Hai be reduced to ashes.

The beam that had appeared felt rather familiar to Lu Yin, and he quickly realized that it was a hyper-analysis mode. It was not that the laboratory didnt have one, but rather that it had not been activated until the black energy converter was touched. As soon as contact was made, the hyper-analysis mode would instantly annihilate anyone nearby. This was different from the one that Lu Yin had encountered in the hidden research base, as that one had only been observing the area. The current one was connected to some weapon that was powerful enough to destroy even a Progenitor.

Lu Yin found that there was a massive bestowal art carrier hidden underground that was always active.

This should have been an arrangement set up to protect the old man; otherwise, it would have activated the moment Lu Yin or anyone else entered the laboratory.

Lu Yin looked back at the black energy converter in his hand. When he squeezed slightly, it was reduced to powder. It was a fake.

Was it all just a trap? Lu Yin frowned, though his mood quickly recovered. No, Xiao Hai was no fool. He had been willing to cooperate with an Aeternal spy and collect resources for years in pursuit of his goals, and there was no way he would be deceived by a fake black energy converter. Xiao Hai must have already verified that a real one was present, no matter what sort of risks were involved in obtaining it. A stupid person would never be qualified to freely enter the old mans personal laboratory.

As Lu Yin thought of this, the God of Flames figurine appeared on his shoulder, and his pupils transformed into runes. He was not in any hurry, so he simply waited. The only thing he feared in the Transcendent Universe was the mysterious Lord Wei. The ruler of the universe still had not shown himself in the ongoing battle, and Lu Yin felt bad for the You family after all of their hard work in trying to lure out Lord Wei.

After all, they could only complete their plans after Lord Wei appeared.

"Throughout the entire Sixverse Association, there is no one better at unearthing spies. He confirmed that He Ran is a spy, only to be killed the very next moment. He Ran is the most likely culprit, so I ask Lord Wei to turn her over to the Bureau for interrogation."

Uncle Mo bowed and spoke up. "For the record, Lord Wei, there is no evidence supporting You Fangs allegations. The attack on Xuan Qi has nothing to do with us. Its possible that You Fang threatened Xuan Qi into framing Madam He Ran, and then eliminated Xuan Qi in order to build support for Bai Qian."

You Fangs head snapped up, and he stared at Uncle Mo. "What does Bai Qian have to do with me? I only supported her to force He Ran to reveal her flaws and allow Xuan Qi to determine if she is guilty or not. The moment Xuan Qi accomplished that, He Ran killed him to silence him. Uncle Mo, theres no need to argue over things."

Uncle Mo stared back at You Fang. "You do not get to decide guilt and innocence. If you have proof of Madam He Rans guilt, then please provide the evidence."

"The evidence is that Xuan Qi was silenced by you."

"Nonsense. His death was carried out by your family."

"Ridiculous!"

Lord Weis voice cut through everything. "I will handle the matter concerning He Ran. There is no need for the You family to concern themselves with this."

You Fangs expression fell, but he simply said, "Understood."

Lord Wei looked back at Luo Shan. "Are you certain that Monarch Mu's disappearance is connected to the You family?"

Luo Shan replied, "At the very least, one of Luo Qians possessions was found in the Ziyou Realm."

"Bring that to me," Lord Wei ordered.

Luo Qian's lens had been discovered in the Ziyou Realm by He Ran. She had first asked Xuan Qi to place it in the Ziyou Realm, and then had sent people to search for it. That plan had not changed, though He Ran could not understand why Xuan Qi had falsely accused her of being a spy Or why he had been killed. In fact, Uncle Mo had merely shared He Rans speculations.

She had immediately suspected the You family of forcing Xuan Qi to frame her and then killing him. Why else would Xuan Qi have still hidden Luo Qians lens in the Ziyou Realm as had been agreed upon?

No matter how she looked at the situation, Xuan Qi was still helping her, and He Ran could only believe that the You family had forced Xuan Qi to frame her.

Luo Qian's lens was quickly handed over to Lord Wei. After accepting it and looking at it, he asked, "Does this belong to your son?"

Luo Shans expression contorted. "Thats right."

Lord Wei continued to stare at the green lens.

Everyone had heard how Lord Wei favored He Ran and had tried to suppress the You family. With this evidence in his hand, everyone started guessing about what Lord Wei would do.

"This evidence is irrefutable. You Fang, what do you say for your family?" As Lord Wei spoke, his eyes grew cold, and he directed his stare at You Fang.

You Fangs head rose, and he replied, "We are being framed."

Luo Shan immediately shouted back, "Luo Laoer appeared in your Ziyou Realm some time ago, and now, there is even physical evidence that he visited you! How can you still claim that this is an unjust accusation? Tell me, who can frame your You family? Who can plant evidence in your home without being caught?"

You Fang's eyes flickered, as he had no answer for that. He did not know how Luo Qians lens could have appeared in the Ziyou Realm, and as Luo Shan had said, who was capable of framing the You family without being caught?
