Chapter 2673: The Smile At That Time

Chapter 2673: The Smile At That Time

Shao Qingfeng watched as Xuan Qis face and appearance changed, and the young mans expression slowly morphed to reveal horror. He looked as though he was seeing something unbelievable. "Lu Lu Yin?

"Are you really the Origin Universes Lu Yin?"

Lu Yin smiled. "That's why I said that it's been a long time."

Shao Qingfengs horror mounted. "Are you also Xuan Qi? How did you keep that hidden from the Transcendent Universe? How did you trick the Voidforce Universe? This is impossible! Youve met so many peak powerhousestheres no way they couldnt have seen through you!"

Lu Yin replied, "This is the difference between you and me. Now, you are able to clearly see the gap between us."

"Wait, why did you attack me? Ive never done anything to offend you!" Shao Qingfeng said with blood leaking from his mouth.

All of a sudden, he pulled out a power vessel and tried to break free from Lu Yins Hidden Mountain card, but there was nothing that Shao Qingfeng could do with Lu Yin present.

The power vessel was shattered with just one of Lu Yins hands, while his other hand settled onto Shao Qingfeng's head. "If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being arrogant. Who was it that said that the Cyclic Universe will conquer the Origin Universe and punish them for offending them? You want to target the people close to me, capture them, and sell them off as subhumans. Tell me, are you capable of doing that?"

Lu Yin was throwing Shao Qingfengs own words right back at him. They were the words that Shao Qingfeng had spoken right before the Sixverse Academy students had traveled to the Origin Universe for their trial. At that time, Shao Qingfeng had been arrogant, and he had not wanted to treat the Origin Universe as a serious threat. Once, he had even wanted to trample over Lu Yin, but now, Shao Qingfeng had fallen to his current situation.

Shao Qingfeng remembered speaking those words, and he also remembered asking Xuan Qi for his thoughts on the matter. At that time, Shao Qingfent had seen a happy smile on Xuan Qis face as he replied, Sure. He had seemed genuinely happy at that moment.

"As for your master, Ill send him searching for you." With that, Lu Yins hand pressed down with an irresistible force. Shao Qingfeng was forced to his knees, and then further down until he was lying on the ground. Before he died, he could only remember Xuan Qis smile as he said, Sure. Why couldnt I see through him at that time?

Lu Yin returned to the Ziyou Realm, and You Fang greeted him coldly.

You Lele stared at Xuan Qi, curious to hear what he wanted to say for himself. He had failed to kill He Shu, which meant that there was no way for him to gain the trust of You Lele or her father.

Lu Yin walked forward and casually tossed Shao Qingfeng's corpse out. "I'm sorry, but He Shu escaped. I didn't expect him to have a Lotus Artifact.

However, Shao Qingfeng wasnt able to escape, so I killed him. Will this work for you?"

You Fang and You Lele were startled, and they stared at Shao Qingfeng's corpse in utter disbelief.

"You killed Shao Qingfeng?" You Lele exclaimed.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

You Fang was similarly shocked, and he stared intently at Xuan Qi.

Lu Yin just shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. This wasn't intentional. Who told him to recognize my Hidden Mountain card? I thought that Id be able to kill He Shu in one attack, so I used the seven-star Hidden Mountain card that I picked up in the Sixverse Academy, but unfortunately, He Shu fled, and I captured Shao Qingfeng instead. He recognized it immediately, so I had to put him down to avoid future complications."

You Fang nodded. "I see."

You Lele also understood the situation. This made sense, as neither of them would ever think that Xuan Qi would be insane enough to purposely assassinate Shao Qingfeng.

While the You family might not be concerned about Shao Qingfeng, why would Xuan Qi risk offending another powerhouse? He had just recently offended Sovereign Ninth Lotuss disciples, and now, he had killed Shao Qingfeng. How was this any different from deliberately making an enemy of the entire Cyclic Universe? Not even Xu Wuwei would be able to save Xuan Qi, given his latest actions.

"So, is this enough to buy your trust?" Lu Yin asked.

You Fang laughed. "This is even more credible than if you had killed He Shu! He Ran might be willing to abandon even He Shu, if it would help her win, but she would never dare to allow anything to happen to Shao Qingfeng."

Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. "I also wouldnt dare to do anything to him if it hadnt been completely necessary, but since I didnt have a choice, I did what I had to."

You Fang moved forward to personally inspect the corpse and confirmed it to be Shao Qingfeng's before disposing of it. "From now on, we are partners. By the way, there is also one more person."

The man clapped his hands, and someone stepped out of the void. It was Bai Qian.

Lu Yin was not surprised to see Bai Qian here. Both Xuan Qi and the You family were supporting Bai Qian, so there was no way that Bai Qian would not be personally included in their plans.

Lu Yin stared at Bai Qian as she slowly walked forward, and her eyes were also locked onto him. She stared at him with coldness and indifference.

Everyone in the Transcendent Universe assumed that it was impossible for these two to have any prior dealings, especially after Xuan Qi had led the Bureau to surround Tu Kes home, which had essentially been a slap in Bai Qians. In fact, even You Fang believed the two to be at odds with each other.

He Ran immediately asked everyone with any influence in the Transcendent Universe to help search for Shao Qingfeng.

He was one of Sovereign Shao Yins disciples, which meant that nothing could be allowed to happen to Shao Qingfeng in the Transcendent Universe, as Sovereign Shao Yin would never let the matter go.

He Shu's face had turned pale. In front of him was He Ran, her fists clenched tightly. Nothing that she had tried recently had gone well for her, and just when she had started to try to rectify the declining situation, something had happened to Shao Qingfeng. Could this be connected to the You family as well?

The You family had publicly announced their support for Bai Qian, so it was only natural for them to help her.

However, aside from He Rans closest confidantes, no one was aware of their plan. The only possible leak was if Tu Ke had betrayed them, but that was impossible.

Besides, would the You family really be willing to kill Shao Qingfeng? It made no sense for them to take such a risk.

Suddenly, Uncle Mo stepped out, and his head snapped up. The man looked completely stunned. "Madam, a powerhouse is here."

Both He Ran and He Shu looked up as well. The sky above the staircase had cracked open, and an unbearable pressure abruptly fell upon them.

For a moment, all three people felt like the world had started spinning. Uncle Mo hastened to use his black energy converter to protect He Ran.

He Shu was forced to the ground, unconscious.

He Ran was pressed down to a squatting position, and she stayed there, her whole body trembling.

The skin on Uncle Mo's body started to crack open, and his eyes flared as he stared at the arrogant figure above them in disbelief. He had never felt anything like the pressure that this person was exuding. Uncle Mo had used his black energy converter to compete with many very powerful people over the years, but this person made him feel as small as an ant.

Sovereign Shao Yin had arrived.

"Sovereign Shao Yin," a majestic voice spoke from outside the space with the flight of stairs.

The pressure instantly disappeared, but He Ran and Uncle Mo also lost consciousness.

Above them, Sovereign Shao Yin looked up and stepped forward. There was nothing in front of him. Only the Sovereign could see that there was something before him. "I require an explanation."

The majestic voice spoke again. "As cultivators, we risk our lives to strive forward both individually and in the fight against Aeternus. Life, old age, illness, and deaththere is no explanation for these things, and I owe you no explanation, unless what happened was done by my Transcendent Universe."

Sovereign Shao Yin frowned. "How can I be certain that your Transcendent Universe didnt do anything?"

"What reason would justify such actions?"

Sovereign Shao Yin sank deep into thought.

"If you hope to use this matter to make trouble here in my Transcendent Universe, I will ask the Great Sovereign to weigh in."

Sovereign Shao Yin snorted contemptuously. "You cant scare me with my own master! If my disciple dies in your universe, you will be held responsible."

"In that case, Sovereign Shao Yin, none of your people are welcome in my Transcendent Universe from this moment forward, as my universe cannot guarantee their safety."

Sovereign Shao Yin grew furious. "Are you really going to stand against me?"

"You are the one coming against my Transcendent Universe."

After a moment of silence, the Sovereign coldly replied, "No matter what, it remains a fact that my disciple disappeared here. If nothing is done about this, others will believe that my disciples can be walked over."

"What do you want?"

"I hope that you will support my suggestion."
