Chapter 1407: Reveal

The battle in Flying Armor Pass had even shocked the Higher Realm. Although the individuals participating in the battle were unimportant, they still represented many major forces.

Flying Armor Pass had always been a place that the Higher Realm’s four ruling powers all coveted, and Long Xian had unexpectedly obtained enough tribulation crystals to allow Long Ding to open his lower meridian point. Every power desperately wanted to discover where these crystals had come from.

In the end, Long Xian went missing. However, the people chasing after him had found something that seemed to be a map within the cosmic ring that he had left behind. The four ruling powers naturally split the map into four parts.

There was chaos within the White Dragon Clan while everybody spoke about this incident. Many people criticized the main family for being too biased while the main family tried to use Humility’s Gate as an excuse. The argument lasted for several days until the Celestial Frost Sect suggested that the map be pieced together.

The map was eventually recognized as a sketch of the Dominion Realm, which meant that it most likely led to a massive treasure in the Dominion Realm that was somehow related to the tribulation crystals that Long Xian had received.

Lu Yin did not know how the four ruling powers would use the map that they had found, but he was excited as he looked at the man standing before him.

“If you want to stay in Dragon Mountain for the rest of your life and receive my sister’s protection, then you can reject my offer. I will only ask you this once, and you will only ever have this one chance.” The man speaking to Lu Yin was Long Tian. The White Dragon Clan’s Junior Progenitor had looked for Lu Yin, and he was asking Lu Yin to head to the White Dragon Clan’s Junior Progenitor Planet. There, Long Tian would provide the resources for Lu Yin to become an Enlighter, and once Lu Yin succeeded, he would be able to join the trip to the Dominion Realm.

Lu Yin felt as though this opportunity had fallen into his lap. Although he had faced some struggles when he first arrived in the Perennial World, things were progressing quite smoothly now, and he had managed to achieve almost everything he had wanted.

“Will Long Xi agree to this?” Lu Yin pretended to be nervous as he asked.

Long Tian frowned. “You don’t need to worry about that. This is the only time I will ask you this, and I will provide you with the resources to help you become an Enlighter. Are you willing to join me on the trip to the Dominion Realm?”

Lu Yin took a deep breath and solemnly replied, “I will definitely help you without any conditions, brother.”

Long Tian hesitated. While Long Qi’s words sounded good, they also felt completely fake. Long Tian still remembered the matter in Flying Armor Pass; had Lu Yin merely pretended not to hear the Junior Progenitor’s commands, or had he truly been unable to hear?action

Long Tian’s gaze softened as he looked at Lu Yin’s sincere expression. No, he was certain that this person had been unable to hear at that time. Nobody from a secondary bloodline would dare to defy him. “Fine. Come to the White Dragon Clan’s Junior Progenitor Planet. I’ll get everything ready for you.”

With that, Long Tian’s image disappeared.

Lu Yin looked up at the sky; get everything ready? He would need a massive amount of star crystals to become an Enlighter, but he had also prepared a decent amount himself. Nobody would suspect him if he received Long Tian’s help to become an Enlighter. Since Long Tian was so confident, then it meant that he had probably already prepared a large amount of resources.

Long Tian had approached Lu Yin because Lu Yin had defeated Long Ding after opening his first meridian point. On top of that, Lu Yin had then gone on to open his own lower meridian point. Thus, when he became an Enlighter, he would definitely be much more powerful than Long Ding could have ever been.

Lu Yin smiled as he thought about this. The trip to the Dominion Realm would be very interesting. He wondered just how many familiar faces he would see there.

Long Kui had ordered Lu Yin to remain where he was before returning to Flying Armor Pass. From the information that he had received from Guo Shan, Lu Yin knew that he likely would not be assigned any missions for the time being. Therefore, he decided to just patiently wait for Long Kui to lead him to the White Dragon Clan’s Junior Progenitor Planet.

In the Higher Realm, Yu Chen was carefully reading something within the Celestial Frost Sect when a man walked over and respectfully passed her a thick report. “Miss, this is the information regarding the battle in Flying Armor Pass.”

Yu Chen took the documents and slowly flipped through them. The information that she read shocked her. Long Qi had actually managed to defeat Long Ding even after Long Ding opened his first meridian point. Although Long Ding could not be considered an elite within the four ruling powers, he should have still been quite powerful after opening his first meridian point, enough to place him within the three most powerful people within the Junior Progenitor’s generation. Yu Chen could barely believe that Long Qi had already become so powerful. He had improved far too quickly.

She grew serious as she scanned the information. The report was very detailed, and it included everything that had happened during the battle, including the conversation between Long Tian and Long Xi.

After perusing the details, Yu Chen closed the folder. Had Long Qi really been unable to hear Long Tian’s order? This was an important detail. Everything would be fine if Long Qi had been unable to hear Long Tian, but if he had heard the Junior Progenitor and simply ignored him, then that had huge implications. That would mean that Long Qi did not care about even a Junior Progenitor, which also would indicate that everything that had happened that day had been staged by Long Qi.

Yu Chen was accustomed to considering events from the viewpoint of the worst case scenario. She used such reasoning to reexamine all of the information that she had on Long Qi, especially the incidents where he had tricked Mo Gaohe and the Guan brothers. She was astounded; could Long Qi have possibly arranged everything?

However, how could he have known that the Guan brothers had all been Redbacks? How had he won Unseen Light over to his side? Had it really been nothing but a coincidence and that they were really old friends? That should not be possible.

Yu Chen spent an hour reviewing everything that she had received on Long Qi before finally closing the folder with a bang.

There had to be something more to this person. How could someone who had spent more time receiving an inheritance from the Sword Monument than even Bai Xian’er be so weak? How could such a person be willing to marry into the White Dragon Clan? What’s more, all of Yu Chen’s plans to deal with Lu Yin had failed spectacularly. This could not be a coincidence. She had been tricked by him, somebody who everyone had looked down on.

Yu Chen carefully studied a picture of Long Qi’s face. It was possible that there was a huge mystery behind this person, and she had to find out the truth.

She immediately sent out an order. “Tell everyone that Long Qi received an inheritance from Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo.”

The man standing behind her was stunned. “We will have to sacrifice a jade butterfly to spread this bit of news.”

Jade butterflies were what Yu Chen called the spies whom she had placed within the various forces, much like how the monsters had their own spies in the form of traitors to humanity.

“According to the reports that we’ve received from the jade butterflies, fewer than ten people within the White Dragon Clan are privy to this secret. Our man could very well be easily exposed,” the man emphasized.

Yu Chen firmly replied, “Then sacrifice him.”

The man’s eyes flashed. He looked at the image of Long Qi and sneered. This person had been trouble all along, and now, he was causing Yu Chen to sacrifice one of her jade butterflies. “Understood.”

Yu Chen sighed. It had not been easy for her to develop this particular jade butterfly, and she was making a massive sacrifice. However, she strongly believed that there was a tremendous mystery behind Long Qi, and she hated not knowing the truth. She hoped that her guesses were wrong and that Long Qi was nothing more than a lucky person. However, the more she thought about it, the less likely that seemed to be.

“I don’t care if you’re real or fake—I just need you to disappear,” Yu Chen said calmly, her eyes cold.

Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo had been infamous throughout the Perennial World, and many people had had grudges with him. Also, his spiritual force had been very strong, and he had loved to uncover other people’s secrets and expose them. He had also enjoyed revealing other people’s battle techniques, and these pastimes had caused many people to attempt to kill him or otherwise hold grudges against him.

Kui Luo had uncovered enough secrets to write an entire book, and it was even more comprehensive than Realmless’s intelligence reports. The Semi-Progenitor’s greatest achievement had been instigating a battle between two Progenitors.

Most people suspected him of being a Redback, but there were other people who insisted that that was not true, as he was too high profile. Instead, they claimed that he was insane.

No matter what the man’s sanity was, he was still an enemy of the public who had caused chaos throughout the Perennial World. Before his death, he had arranged for people to reveal all the secrets that he had uncovered, which disgusted many people.

There were a number of people who could no longer live with their heads held high due to the secrets that Kui Luo had revealed, and they hated Kui Luo to their core.

Lu Yin was leisurely reciting the Stonewall Scriptures and considering how he would break through to become an Enlighter when his communication crystal suddenly vibrated and Long Xi’s image appeared. She looked exceptionally grim.

Lu Yin felt guilty when he saw Long Xi’s face, and he tried to remember if he had screwed anything up. He could not think of anything aside from stealing the crystal thread from Long Xian.

“Where are you?” Long Xi asked coldly.

Lu Yin pouted. “I’m still here! I haven’t even moved!”

He continued to say, “I haven’t dared to move since you told me to wait here.”

Long Xi looked upset, but she helplessly said, “Don’t go anywhere. Elder Long Kui is on his way back from the Middle Ocean for you, and he’ll get there within half a month.”

Lu Yin blinked. “I thought that the elder had just left the Middle Ocean, no? Are you saying that he’ll get here that quickly?”

“The four ruling powers each have their own methods,” Long Xi said calmly. She then rubbed her temples as she mulled over something.

Lu Yin felt curious, but he did not dare to ask any more questions.

After a while, Long Xi asked, “Who else knew that you received an inheritance from Kui Luo?”

Lu Yin reflexively shook his head. “You’re the only ones I’ve ever told. I never said anything to anyone else.”

“Does Unseen Light know about it?” Long Xi was staring intently at Lu Yin. She was the only one who knew that Unseen Light was a close friend of Long Qi’s.

Lu Yin answered firmly, “He doesn’t know. I wouldn’t tell anyone about this.”

Unseen Light? He had never even heard of Kui Luo! They were just two trespassers!

Long Xi sighed. “This matter has been leaked.”

Lu Yin’s face fell. He had chosen to claim to have received an inheritance from Kui Luo because he did not want the White Dragon Clan to investigate his past. Kui Luo had died a long time ago, but he had been everyone’s enemy while he was alive. This was why Lu Yin had not been worried about the White Dragon Clan finding anything out. He also had no need to worry about the White Dragon Clan revealing anything, as it would be humiliating if such information was revealed.

However, Lu Yin had not expected someone to reveal this. He was now in huge trouble, as Kui Luo had offended too many people. Although some of the Semi-Progenitor’s enemies were already dead, the ones that were still alive were all ancient, and Lu Yin trembled at the thought of these ancient powerhouses chasing after him.
