Chapter 2937: Silent Layout

Mr. Daheng quickly put the copper coin away and moved over to Chen Le. He grabbed the Monarch and then left.

It did not matter. If things were exposed, then so be it. Mr. Daheng did not intend to try to keep things hidden for long anyway.

Besides, in the end, Luo Shan had escaped. Lu Yin’s scheming ran too deep, so it would have been good to keep Luo Shan around to restrain the young man. The biggest issue was still the stones. Did Luo Shan have any at all?

In Proximity, the displays returned to normal.

Wendy Yushan watched on quietly. Behind her, Sage Bodhi and an entire group of people had been watching a display showing the entire scene of Mr. Daheng attacking Luo Shan and Chen Le.

Proximity had observed everything from the very beginning.

Sage Bodhi's face revealed her displeasure. "Inform the Arboreal Realm that Mr. Daheng has attacked the Three Monarchs Universe without authorization, and ask them to send someone to take the man down and demand an explanation."

While there were various disputes within the Sixverse Association, those matters were never allowed to affect the Endless Frontier.

The Endless Frontier was already a battlefield, and it was even the primary battlefield that protected humanity from Aeternus. If disputes between the Sixverse Association’s members were allowed to spill over into the Endless Frontier, there would be unforgivable consequences to the overall war.

That was a burden that no one could afford to bear.

Of course, this was also under the assumption that such matters were known by the Sixverse Association.

Generally speaking, even if someone attacked someone else on the Endless Frontier, the matter would not be noticed by the Sixverse Association. There were countless people fighting on the Endless Frontier at all times. Who among them did not have some sort of grudge with another? As long as such matters were not discovered, there was no issue.

Everything remained hidden in the dark.

However, Mr. Daheng had attacked Luo Shan in a public manner, and the people of Proximity had watched the entire exchange take place. This was not a small matter, and if the Sixverse Association did not deliver judgment for this violation, how would order be maintained on the Endless Frontier in the future?

If the Endless Frontier was negatively impacted, the entire Sixverse Association would suffer the effects.

The Endless Frontier was not occupied solely by humans, as there were other creatures there. They could choose to ally with the Sixverse Association, but they could also choose to betray the Sixverse Association.

Mr. Daheng had never dreamed that his actions would be noticed by Proximity. The Three Monarchs Universe had no data center, which was a big reason why the Arborean had assumed that his actions would not be noticed by the Sixverse Association. However, Lu Yin’s plan had taken everything into account.

Lu Yin wanted to target Luo Shan, but he had also wanted to deal with Mr. Daheng at the same time.

The grievances between them could not be dismissed easily, which meant that Lu Yin needed to seize the initiative in order to handle matters.

If either Luo Shan or Mr. Daheng were given a chance, neither of them would let Lu Yin go, and he was fully aware of that. His goal was to unify the Sixverse Association and make it so that no one there would ever plot against him. ?

The Great Sovereign was in the process of overcoming Dukkha, and her selfishness had caused her to agree to exile the Lu family. It was all to push her own plans to deal with the Aeternals forward.

Lu Yin’s goal was to unite the Sixverse Association, and he did not care about anything else. He intended to force the Great Sovereign to pay for what she had done.

This Sixverse Association had been founded by the Great Sovereign, but it had now fallen under the Lu family’s control.

Mr. Daheng returned to the Liberation Palace in the Arboreal Realm. He had no idea that Proximity had already contacted the Arboreal Realm.

Chen Le dropped to the ground. His face was pale, and he looked quite miserable.

Wu Heng gave the man an indifferent look.

Mr. Daheng looked down at Chen Le. "Chen Le, you’ve finally visited the Liberation Palace."

Chen Le was badly frightened, as he still did not understand what was going on.

How had Mr. Daheng known that he had been in the Three Monarchs Universe, and why had the man attacked Chen Le?

Mr. Daheng looked at the fear in Chen Le's eyes. "That is a wonderful look. That expression is precisely the reason why I chose you. Unfortunately, you are nothing but Luo Shan's pawn, working against me."

Chen Le felt terribly confused. Was he Luo Shan's pawn? Since when?

Such a seemingly insignificant question involved Mr. Daheng’s past with Luo Shan. The Arborean wanted to know whether or not Luo Shan had moved past that incident.

Chen Le said nothing.

Mr. Daheng frowned. "It was not easy for you to cultivate to your current level. There are countless human beings alive, but how many of them can reach your level of strength? Chen Le, you can’t blame me for not giving you a chance."

Chen Le still said nothing, though he glanced at Wu Heng.

Wu Heng's face revealed nothing. He was well aware of the fact that Chen Le was not Luo Shan’s pawn, but Lu Yin wanted Mr. Daheng to believe that that was true. If this was the intent of Lord Lu, then so be it.

Mr. Daheng's expression turned ugly. "Chen Le, do you really want to die?

"Luo Shan has already fled. He can no longer save you. There is no need for you to die with him.

"I’ll tell you right now that the Heavens Sect will never let Luo Shan go."

Chen Le gritted his teeth. He wanted to speak, but he also did not dare to say anything. Compared to Mr. Daheng, the Heavens Sect was far more terrifying.

Mr. Daheng struck Chen Le, attempting to force the man to speak.

Wu Heng looked on emotionlessly.

Chen Le gritted his teeth and endured. He continued to motivate himself. The longer he endured for, the more that Lord Lu would owe him. Chen Le was holding out for Lord Lu's sake.

Mr. Daheng had not expected such determination from Chen Le. The longer that Chen Le refused to say anything, the more that Mr. Daheng felt that something was wrong. Was Luo Shan worthy of Chen Le sacrificing himself? The more that Chen Le endured, the more important the question became.

"Chen Le, I'll count to three. If you refuse to speak, I will cripple your cultivation."

Chen Le's pupils shrank, but he clenched his teeth.

"One."

Chen Le's face turned pale.

"Two."

Chen Le trembled.

"Three."

Mr. Daheng raised his hand. Chen Le could no longer endure. His head rose, and he looked over at Wu Heng. Did Lord Lu no longer care about Chen Le? The man refused to truly sacrifice himself for Lord Lu.

At this moment, a figure stepped out from the void and moved down to the Liberation Palace.

Mr. Daheng looked up. "Mu Ke?"

Chen Le grew excited. Mu Ke was Lord Lu’s senior brother. Finally, someone had arrived.

Wu Heng was equally excited. The Heavens Sect had finally made their move. He stared at Mr. Daheng with open resentment.

Mu Ke looked cold as he stared at Mr. Daheng. "Why did you attack Luo Shan?"

Mr. Daheng was stunned. How did Mu Ke know about that?

"Why did you attack Chen Le?"

Upon hearing these two questions, Mr. Daheng's heart sank. It was clear that something was very, very wrong. The battle between the Three Monarchs Universe should not have been discovered by anyone uninvolved in the battle. Mu Ke was clearly not surprised to see Chen Le in the Liberation Palace. How long had the man known?

Thinking back through the entire ordeal, and after remembering that no one from the Heavens Sect had ever appeared, despite Lu Yin’s promises, something finally occurred to Mr. Daheng. A possibility appeared, and all the color drained from the man’s face.

"Proximity knows that you attacked Luo Shan, violating the rules of the Endless Frontier! Come with me. You owe the Sixverse Association an explanation!" Mu Ke ordered with a shout.

Mr. Daheng clenched his fists. "Chen Le has betrayed the Heavens Sect. Lord Lu asked me to help him deal with the traitor. As for Luo Shan, he is suspected of betraying humanity. I can explain everything."
