Chapter 2650: The Advantage Of Memories

"Ill give you one more year. If you still cant find it, you can forget about breaking through to become a peak powerhouse. You also won't be allowed to join us. We don't accept trash," Wu Tong repeated. It was an odd statement.

As soon as Wu Tong finished speaking, he anxiously waited for Xuan Qis reaction. "That should be useful to you."

He was terrified that Xuan Qi might go back on his word, but Wu Tong had been left with no choice.

Lu Yin sank into deep thought. Join, trash, unable to become a peak powerhouse?

Who in the Three Monarchs Universe was eager to become a peak powerhouse? There was only one person: Chen Le. Could he be connected to the matter involving Wu Tong?

Chen Le was the leader of the Mo Courtyard, so why would he need to join another organization? This made it clear that whatever was happening had nothing to do with the Three Monarchs Universe and likely had no connection to the spy for that matter. Most likely, he had received the message by mistake.

Lu Yin felt that he had just stumbled upon something of monumental importance.

When Cang Bi returned a short while later, Wu Tong was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?" Cang Bi asked.

"Because of my respect for you, Senior, I sent him to a parallel universe. After all, he never did anything to harm humanity, and he was also forced to become a spy," Lu Yin replied.

Cang Bi frowned. "He is still a spy, and there is no way you would ever let a spy go free because of me. Whatever he told you must have been incredibly valuable to you."

Lu Yin just gave a faint smile. "Perhaps. Handling spies is the bureaus responsibility, so you dont need to worry about this, Senior. All you need to know is that he's been sent to a parallel universe. As for what comes next, he will need to walk his path on his own. He might die young, or he might live a free and easy life. Who can say?"

Cang Bi stared at the young man intently for a long moment, extremely curious about what Wu Tong might have said. It had to be extremely important, if it had prompted Xuan Qi to spare a spy. Unfortunately, Cang Bi had not been able to hear anything.

"Senior, since we have discovered one spy in the Mo Courtyard, I believe that Aeternus must be targeting the place, which means that there might be more than just one spy. I would like to visit the Mo Courtyard for myself, so that I might witness the power of the Three Monarchs Universes sword and shield," Lu Yin stated.

Cang Bi replied, "As you wish. Monarch Luo has already stated that you are to be given the freedom to go wherever you wish within our Three Monarchs Universe."

The Mo Courtyard held no secrets, so Cang Bi did not mind Xuan Qi exploring it.

Rather, Cang Bi was more preoccupied about what Wu Tong had said. Unfortunately, Xuan Qi had made it quite clear that he had no intention of sharing that information.

Lu Yin had already visited the Mo Courtyard once before when he had been disguised as one of Shui Ningqiu's bodyguards, so this was actually his second visit.

The Mo Courtyard was practically crowded with Semi-Progenitors. There were multiple different environments within the Mo Courtyard, and nothing was lacking in this place. It was the ideal location for nearly any cultivator, and if not for the presence of the imperial treasury, the Mo Courtyard could almost have been thought of as a sanctuary for retirement.

Cang Bi led the way, and Lu Yin began exploring the Mo Courtyard.

His primary target was to find a man named Old Greenpeel. He was one of the Demi-Monarch experts of the Mo Courtyard, and Lu Yin had recently Possessed the man. It was also through Old Greenpeel that Lu Yin had learned most of what he knew about the people in the Mo Courtyard.

Lu Yin wanted to meet the man in person so that he could learn more about Chen Le. It would not be possible to learn much about Chen Le from just what others said about him.

"This is where Old Greenpeel cultivates. Do you see the green fruit peels on the ground? Those are from a fruit native to his hometown. He loves eating them, which is why everyone calls him Old Greenpeel," Cang Bi offered a short introduction and immediately moved to lead Xuan Qi to the next place in the Mo Courtyard.

However, Lu Yin remained where he was, and he crouched down to pick up one of the green peels on the ground.

Cang Bi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Lu Yin away. "Acting Bureau Director, you mustn't!"

"Who dares to touch my things?" The void exploded into countless dazzling lights in a display that looked like exploding stars. The violence quickly swept towards Cang Bi and Lu Yin.

The Demi-Monarch quickly took a step forward. "Old Greenpeel, please calm yourself. This is the Acting Bureau Director of the Voidforce Universes bureau. He is visiting the Mo Courtyard and meant no disrespect."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Lu Yin took a step back and bowed. "This junior is known as Xuan Qi. Greetings, Senior."

Old Greenpeel waved Lu Yins politeness away. "Don't bother being so stiff and formal. Just call me Old Greenpeel like everyone else."

"That would be too disrespectful, Senior," Lu Yin replied seriously.

Old Greenpeel retorted, "My peers and people whom I approve of are allowed to call me by my nickname, but anyone else who tries to do so will be cut down! Xuan Qi, come, I have many more olives here. Let's enjoy them together and see if you can determine which mountains they were picked from."

"Alright, this junior is eager to try. Please lead the way, Senior."

"You need to eat first, haha."

With the die's Possession, Lu Yin had a straightforward path to establishing rapport with anyone he had Possessed before, even if they were the most miserable person in existence. After accessing a persons memories, Lu Yin would know what to say to them and how to create a sense of camaraderie with them, which was an advantage that no one else could replicate.

Cang Bi was left behind, completely bewildered. How did those two get so close in an instance?

Even as he spoke with Old Greenpeel, Lu Yin was thinking about the memories that he had just seen.

Chen Le was trouble. Big trouble.

From Old Greenpeel's memories, Lu Yin had learned that, while on the Endless Frontier, Chen Le had effortlessly slaughtered a corpse king of equal strength with the use of the Monarch Arrow battle technique. This by itself was not concerning, as Lu Yin already knew that many people had learned the battle technique. At least ten of the fifteen Demi-Monarchs that were in the Mo Courtyard had mastered the technique as well. However, it was the fact that Chen Le had looked into the Bai clan that confirmed Lu Yins suspicions.

Old Greenpeel had unwittingly found Chen Le investigating the Voidforce Universe's Bai clan. But because that matter did not involve Old Greenpeel, and also because he did not get along with Chen Le, the old man had not paid any attention to the matter.

However, this news was vital to Lu Yin.

Chen Le was a Demi-Monarch who boasted unparalleled mastery of the Monarch Arrow battle technique, and he had also looked into the Bai clan. Following the logic of those two details, the person who had exterminated the Bai clan was practically confirmed to be Chen Le. This also lined up with what Lu Yin had heard from Wu Tong; the message signified that a certain individual had been trying to contact Chen Le, urging the Demi-Monarch to quickly find something. In the entire Three Monarchs Universe, Chen Le was the only cultivator who was pushing for a breakthrough to become a peak powerhouse.

It seemed possible that the Bai clan was in possession of something that Chen Le wanted.

While chatting with Old Greenpeel, Lu Yin's thoughts were already completely focused on Chen Le.

Chen Le led the Mo Courtyard, and he was acknowledged as the most powerful Demi-Monarch in the Three Monarchs Universe. He was famous throughout the entire Sixverse Association, and many regarded him as someone with the potential to become a Monarch. Even the three Monarchs held the man in high regard. Monarch Mus word was law to the members of the Mo Courtyard, with the sole exception of Chen Le. That man alone was allowed to choose whether he wanted to comply with the Monarchs commands. That was how high Chen Le's status reached.

From Old Greenpeel's memories, Chen Le's strength had become clear to Lu Yin, and he no longer wondered how a Semi-Progenitor level expert could have easily taken out Old Dian's benefactor.

However, why had Chen Le attacked the Bai clan? Old Greenpeel had no memories of anything related to that. The matter had no relation to the Three Monarchs Universe, and it instead had to be related to Chen Le's personal affairs.

Lu Yin spent a long time visiting Old Greenpeel before leaving. As he moved on, he asked Cang Bi about the rest of the Demi-Monarchs that were part of the Mo Courtyard so that he could at least put on a pretense of comprehensive investigation. Even though Lu Yin was targeting Chen Le, investigating only the leader of the Mo Courtyard would be too conspicuous, so Lu Yin decided to investigate them all.

Several days later, Lu Yin examined every record on Chen Le. As a celebrity in the Three Monarchs Universe, there was a great deal of information on the man, and there were records of both significant and trivial events. However, oddly enough, there was not a single mention of his relationship with the Bai clan, nor almost any link to the Voidforce Universe.

Things were getting increasingly strange. There was no way the Bai clan had been exterminated on a mere whim. What had that strange person meant when saying to find something as soon as possible? It was possible that what Chen Le sought was in the hands of the Bai clan.
