Chapter 2809: Him Again

Chapter 2809: Him Again

Shock and uncertainty blossomed in Bai Wangyuan's eyes. Xia Shenji was clearly also involved in this matter, so why was he acting as though he was targeting him?

Things were taking a very bad turn.

"Senior Great Sovereign, we are not."

"Jiu Yao, what are you doing with them?" Lu Yin suddenly shouted.

Jiu Yao was not stupid, and he had also realized that something was very wrong. However, he did not dare to speak a single word. There were Progenitors all around. He had never seen so many powerful cultivators in his entire life.

Beyond the Tea Ceremony, 9.99 million people were also observing this scene. While 9.99 million people had been granted this privilege, many more people had accompanied many of these chosen individuals to observe the Tea Ceremony, and because of this, people kept sharing all that happened there. At this time, countless people were paying attention to the recent developments at the Tea Ceremony.

Many people immediately recognized Luo Lao'er.

"Why is Luo Lao'er there?"

"Didn't he disappear along with Monarch Mu?"

"Is he actually qualified to attend the Tea Ceremony?"

...

Bai Wangyuan bowed low. "Senior Great Sovereign, I don't know anything about what Xia Shenji just mentioned. We simply wished to attend the Tea Ceremony."

Wang Fan also spoke up. "Exactly. We simply hoped to attend the Tea Ceremony."

"Do you take us for fools?" Lord Xu demanded in an icy voice.

Mu Shen shook his head. "They are treating the Great Sovereign as a fool."

"This is interesting," Lord Wei said with a laugh.

An ugly expression appeared on Bai Wangyuan’s face.

Sovereign Shao Yin quickly turned to face the Great Sovereign. "Master, actually-"

"Sovereign Shao Yin, the Great Sovereign asked them a question, not you." Mu Shen's voice was calm, despite abruptly cutting Sovereign Shao Yin off as soon as the Sovereign tried to speak. The difference in strength made it hard for Sovereign Shao Yin to croak.

"Speak!" the Great Sovereign shouted fiercely. Her voice stirred the sky and shook the sequence particles themselves, producing a roar that echoed in everyone’s minds.

Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan were startled, as the shout had nearly caused them to faint.

The peerless pressure that radiated from the Great Sovereign rose higher and higher. The stars in the sky above were eclipsed and replaced, and even phenomena similar to stellular tribulations started to appear.

There were no further thoughts of obfuscating the truth again, as there was no doubt that they would be struck down by the Great Sovereign for doing so.

Bai Wangyuan stopped hesitating or even giving much thought to what was happening. He was cornered that he had no way out. If he could not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Lu Xiaoxuan was a spy, this day would likely not end well.

"Senior Great Sovereign, Lu Xiaoxuan is a spy that the Aeternals placed in our universe. The Heavens Sect’s Jiu Yao and the Sixverse Association’s Xuan Qi have provided evidence." Wang Fan reacted even faster than Bai Wangyuan and stepped forward to answer the Great Sovereign.

Despite hearing the same statement from Xia Shenji, Wang Fan’s accusation still shocked everyone who heard him.

Lu Yin was the Origin Universe’s Dao Monarch and the master of the Heavens Sect. While the Heavens Sect was not the same as the ancient organization, the name still represented the greatest heights that humanity had ever reached. At its pinnacle, not even the Aeternals had dared to attack the Heavens Sect. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

At this moment, the Heavens Sect’s Dao Monarch was being accused of being a spy. This spat in the face of all that anyone with knowledge of the ancient era understood.

Everyone looked back at Lu Yin.

The young man’s face was a blank slate that revealed nothing at all.

Lord Wei grew intrigued. "You accuse Lu Xiaoxuan of being a spy and bring up this accusation during this Tea Ceremony. You must have evidence."

As soon as Bai Wangyuan and the others arrived, Sovereign Shao Yin had tried to stop them, indicating that the Sovereign knew that the Xuan Qi with them was a fraud. In that case, was the real Xuan Qi already present at the Tea Ceremony? That was the only reason why the Sovereign would not have been able to give them an advanced warning.

Without that warning, it was too late for them to retreat or change tactics.

Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan both looked at Lu Yin. He was the one behind this.

Sovereign Shao Yin closed his eyes. He had tried to speak on several occasions, but each time, he had been shut down. This Tea Ceremony did not only have Lu Xiaoxuan present, who had deceived the Sovereign and who was actually Xuan Qi, but also Lord Xu, Mu Shen, and several others who were helping Lu Xiaoxuan.

The Sovereign had no choice but to watch as Bai Wangyuan and the others stepped into Lu Xiaoxuan's trap.

"Where is my brother, Xuan Qi?" Xu Leng asked as well, clearly confused.

Xu Wuwei also reacted with surprise. "Exactly. Where has Xuan Qi gone? You said that Xuan Qi has verified the evidence proving that Dao Monarch Lu is a spy, so bring out Xuan Qi."

"Have Xuan Qi come out," Xiu Ci agreed.

Lu Yin turned to grin at Sovereign Shao Yin.

The Sovereign’s glacial eyes turned to stare back at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan is Xuan Qi."

There was a moment of silence. Then, laughter erupted.

Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and several others were unable to contain their mirth.

Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan's faces grew ashen. They instantly understood what had happened. The little bastard had altered his appearance again and created the persona of Xuan Qi. However, before visiting the four ruling powers, he had found someone else to impersonate Xuan Qi. The Progenitors had no idea how Lu Xiaoxuan had managed to deceive Sovereign Shao Yin, but the Sovereign had just been forced to expose that the Xuan Qi cooperating with the four ruling powers was an imposter.

That despicable, shameless little bastard!

The two Progenitors were livid.

This was the third time, the third time, that they had been deceived by Lu Xiaoxuan.

Xu Wuwei laughed so hard that he could not breathe. "Shao Yin, do you understand what you just said? You just said that Lu Xiaoxuan is Xuan Qi! Are you saying that you want Xuan Qi to prove himself to be a spy? Hahahaha!"

More people started laughing.

Sovereign Ninth Lotus frowned and gave Sovereign Shao Yin a look of irritation. "Don't be ridiculous."

Sovereign Shao Yin’s entire body was trembling. He was utterly humiliated, and he wanted nothing more than to slap Lu Yin and Xu Wuwei dead. Clearly, the old bastard had to have known that Lu Xiaoxuan was Xuan Qi, just like Lord Xu. How many of the people at the Tea Ceremony had known the truth? Those bastards!

Shan Gu smiled as he looked at Sovereign Shao Yin. The Lost Clan had been waiting for a day like this for a very long time.

If not for Sovereign Shao Yin instigating trouble, the Lost Clan would have never gone to war with the Cyclic Universe. That war had caused the Lost Clan to lose two of their powerhouses. It was a grudge that they had never forgotten.

Things would not end well for Sovereign Shao Yin.

"Shao Yin," a majestic voice reveberated.

Sovereign Shao Yin went stiff, and then slowly turned around to face the Great Sovereign. He kneeled down and spoke, "Master."

"Repeat what you said."

Sovereign Shao Yin's face was pale, and his pupils kept fluctuating. "Master, your disciple is ignorant and was deceived by others. I implore Master to adjudicate on this matter."

Lu Yin sneered before turning to face everyone. "Everyone, allow me to formally introduce myself to you. I am Lu Yin, Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect. The four ruling powers know me as Lu Xiaoxuan, while the Sixverse Association knows me as Xuan Qi."

Nearly everyone was stunned. Was Lu Yin really Xuan Qi?

Xu Heng and Xu Leng remained calm, as they had known about this beforehand. Lu Yin had made it a point to share the truth with them before the Tea Ceremony.

There were a few people present who knew the truth, but most were shocked by this reveal.
