Chapter 2890: Face To Face
You Lele said, "Because Lord Wei also needs to take accidents into consideration. The researchers can’t work in a place that hasn’t been properly prepared. On top of that, these three locations form an equilateral triangle. In other words, given that Wen Shi, Cong Si, and Qiu Zhan are each stationed in a location, any one of them can support the other two locations in an instant. This is one of the reasons why we identified these three potential locations.”
Lu Yin nodded. "If you’re right, I’ll regard this as your You family’s first accomplishment for me."
With that, Lu Yin left.
You Fang gave You Lele an irritated look. "You said too much."
You Lele\'s eyes flashed. "We just gave him some information. We never worked with him."
You Fang sighed, but he did not press the matter.
Their family had already failed to overthrow Lord Wei. You Lele was still young, and it was natural for her to have her own ideas. She would not give up without trying. However, given the new circumstances, it might truly be possible for Lord Wei to be overthrown. Lu Yin was not Sovereign Shao Yin, and he wielded much, much greater power.
A few days later, one of the three locations that the You family had told Lu Yin about was attacked by people from the Cloudflow Universe.When they attacked, even though the offense did not affect much, it still drew Cong Si out.
All of the people from the Cloudflow Universe who participated in the attack had volunteered to do so, and while things did not end well for them, Lu Yin\'s goal had been achieved.
He now knew where the Energy Research Group was operating.
Meanwhile, Cong Si interrogated the cultivators from the Cloudflow Universe who had attacked. It was clear that Cloudflow had already left, so why had they attacked the Transcendent Universe? The answer he received was not a surprise, but neither was it something that the Transcendent Universe had considered.
The people of the Cloudflow Universe had wanted to free their universe by launching constant attacks on the Transcendent Universe, and that was the motivation behind this attack. While this might sound perfectly normal to most people, anyone who had an understanding of the Cloudflow Universe would know about their extremely rigid thinking. When Cloudflow had first been captured, the cultivators from his universe had charged out in unending waves, as though rushing over to die. They had never considered attacking any other locations, as such things simply never occurred to them. However, shockingly enough, it seemed that the people of the Cloudflow Universe had found a way to fight back against the Transcendent Universe.
Cong Si reported this information to Lord Wei, who became slightly concerned. Hearing about the Cloudflow Universe reminded the ruler of Lu Yin. Could this attack be connected to Lu Yin?
There was no way to confirm anything, so Lord Wei simply ordered the Energy Research Group to change locations.
However, Zi Jing refused.
She had just thought of something, and she wanted to pursue the matter while she was still inspired. No one dared to disturb her, and even Lord Wei could not forcibly move the woman. If her line of thought was disrupted, then the losses would far outweigh the potential gains.
Despite their desperation, everyone could only patiently wait for Zi Jing to finish.
As they waited, Lord Wei personally took over the defense of the Energy Research Group. Additionally, a message was sent to Bai Qian, telling her to speak with the Heavens Sect and announce the release of the Cloudflow Universe.
Cloudflow was back in the Heavens Sect. He had been helping protect the Voidforce Universe when he suddenly received a message from the Heavens Sect, summoning him from the Voidforce Universe’s warfront.
"Dao Monarch Lu," Cloudflow respectfully greeted Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled at Cloudflow. "Do you still remember what I promised you?"
Cloudflow was momentarily stunned, but then he quickly thought of something and excitedly asked, "Is it about the Cloudflow Universe?"
Lu Yin looked past Cloudflow, and Zuo Lao stepped forward.
Cloudflow instantly recognized Zuo Lao as someone from the Transcendent Universe, and excitement and anxiety filled Cloudflow’s eyes as he stared at Zuo Lao.
"Congratulations, Cloudflow. From this day forward, the Cloudflow Universe will be free. The Transcendent Universe will pull out of your universe, and will no longer interfere in anything that happens there."
Cloudflow was so excited that he trembled. "Really?"
Zuo Lao nodded with a smile. "This is Lord Wei\'s order. For Lord Lu, we have decided to completely release the Cloudflow Universe. Cloudflow, you should thank Lord Lu."
Cloudflow turned around and bowed low to Lu Yin. "You have Cloudflow’s deepest thanks, Lord Lu."
Lu Yin helped Cloudflow stand back up. "Since you have joined my Heavens Sect, you are already a member. There is no need for any thanks. This is nothing more than me fulfilling the promise I made to you."
Lu Yin understood Cloudflow\'s excitement very well. Just like how the Lu family had returned to Lu Yin, Cloudflow’s home had finally returned as well.
This development could be considered an accident. Lu Yin had never thought that ordering people from the Cloudflow Universe to attack would worry Lord Wei this badly. It could only be said that Lord Wei feared Lu Yin too much. This reaction showed that Lord Wei was quite wary of Lu Yin.
Given Lord Wei’s reaction, the other two locations should not be where the researchers were based, right?
Lu Yin quickly returned to the Transcendent Universe to speak with the You family.
You Lele pointed to a specific location. "Here."
Lu Yin arched a brow. She was pointing to a place right in the middle of the three locations that the You family had originally identified. Lu Yin had actually considered having the people from the Cloudflow Universe first attack this central location in order to threaten all three of the locations that the You family had identified. What would have happened if he had followed through with that initial thought?
Lu Yin was also worried that the Energy Research Group might have already been moved to a new location.
"Are you sure they haven\'t moved over the last few days?"
You Lele replied, "We can’t know that for sure, but given how long the hyper-analysis mode has been operating for, I would say that they haven’t moved.
"The previous attack made Lord Wei extremely vigilant. Them moving or not goes beyond anything that we can control. I can only help Lord Lu find the location."
Lu Yin did not answer and immediately left.
Now that he knew the location, the next step was to have Luo Shan take action. Since the man was so desperate to see Lord Wei, Lu Yin would arrange a meeting for them.
Lord Wei had the power of manifested thought, which made it difficult to hide from the man. There was also no chance that Monarch Mu could get in contact with Luo Shan while they were this close to the Energy Research Group. If not for the fact that Lu Yin had already confirmed that no one else would interfere through runes, he might have thought that Lord Wei was observing the entire Transcendent Universe right now.
Runes allowed Lu Yin to know if any sort of power was approaching him. However, it went both ways with Lord Wei’s manifested thoughts; if they were detected, then Lord Wei would also discover Lu Yin.
Thus, it was clear that Lord Wei was not with the Energy Research Group.
There were both advantages and disadvantages to Lord Wei\'s caution. There was no way that his manifested thought was not surrounding the Energy Research Group, which meant that Lord Wei did not need to be physically close to them. As long as Luo Shan learned that Monarch Mu was in the Transcendent Universe and was led in the correct direction, the Monarch would inevitably run into Lord Wei. As long as the two met, Lu Yin’s goal would be achieved.
Lu Yin moved away from the Ziyou Realm and removed Monarch Mu from the Zenith Mountain there. Lu Yin made sure to position himself so the Energy Research Group’s location was right between him and Monarch Luo. "Contact Luo Shan."
Monarch Mu was taken aback. "This is the Transcendent Universe. Is Luo Shan here?"
"Call him now!" Lu Yin shouted.
Monarch Mu did not dare to refuse, and she immediately used their own unique means of contact to reach out to Luo Shan. It did not take long for the two to connect.
In a corner of the Transcendent Universe, Luo Shan shot to his feet. "Little Mu?"
He looked over, but suddenly, his connection with Monarch Mu was broken. Luo Shan immediately stepped forward, moving towards her.
Lu Yin led Monarch Mu a little closer to the Energy Research Group and then asked her to call Luo Shan again. After that, he did not hesitate to take Monarch Mu and flee from the Transcendent Universe.
Luo Shan arrived quickly, and his monarch essence surged to fill the area. Why was Little Mu here? How could she be in this universe? Could that information broker have been right?
Long ago, Lu Yin had tried to use Xiao Hai to frame Monarch Mu\'s disappearance onto the You family. As a result, Monarch Luo had tried to force his way into the Ziyou Realm to verify the information broker’s news.
Ultimately, everything had been settled with the intervention of outsiders. However, it was also true that, at that point in time, Monarch Luo had been cooperating with the You family and Sovereign Shao Yin as part of a plan to overthrow Lord Wei. Luo Shan had never personally believed that the You family had done anything to Monarch Mu.
However, Monarch Mu had just appeared in the Transcendent Universe, which confused Monarch Luo quite badly.
He looked at where Monarch Mu had disappeared from and mentally drew a line connecting it to her previous location. The direction that she had been moving in was clear to see, as she had been moving towards Luo Shan.
A fierce look covered the man’s face. Regardless of the circumstances, there was no denying that Little Mu had appeared in the Transcendent Universe. On top of that, Lord Wei had been avoiding Luo Shan, even after the Monarch sent messages reporting the presence of both Cloudflow and He Ran’s presence in the Heavens Sect. It suddenly seemed possible that Bai Qian had not been refusing to deliver Luo Shan’s messages, but rather that Lord Wei simply did not care at all.
Luo Shan and a few others had helped the You family in their attempted rebellion. If Little Mu had indeed been captured by Lord Wei, then Lord Wei should have taken action against the Three Monarchs Universe long ago.
Right, the attempt to overthrow Lord Wei failed, so he already knows everything.
Monarch Luo\'s thoughts grew more complicated. He had no idea if his thoughts were going in the right direction, but he knew that Monarch Mu had appeared in the Transcendent Universe. For that alone, it was necessary to speak with Lord Wei and get a clear answer.
Luo Shan headed in the same direction that Monarch Mu had been moving in.
Soon, Luo Shan was restrained by someone’s power. He looked up ahead. "Lord Wei, come out."
In the location where the Energy Research Group was based, Lord Wei looked extremely upset. Why was Luo Shan here?
Manifested thought moved through space and gradually created an image of Lord Wei that stood face to face with Luo Shan. "Luo Shan, even if you refuse to remain on the Endless Frontier, why are you coming after me in the Transcendent Universe? For you to casually leave the Endless Frontier, do you not fear being punished by the Great Sovereign?"
Luo Shan’s eyes narrowed. "Cloudflow and He Ran are both in the Heavens Sect. Lord Wei, do you know about this?"
Lord Wei arched a brow. Of course he knew about this, but he had never addressed the matter. The Heavens Sect had become too powerful, and Lord Wei’s sole focus was the sequence particle research. He did not care about Cloudflow or He Ran at all. "That’s a matter concerning my Transcendent Universe. It has nothing to do with you."
Luo Shan\'s face fell. "Then what about Little Mu? Where is she?"
Lord Wei was left confused. "Who’s Little Mu?"
"My wife, Monarch Mu!"
Lord Wei could not understand. "What does Monarch Mu’s whereabouts have to do with me? Luo Shan, have you gone mad? Do you expect to find Monarch Mu in my Transcendent Universe?"
Luo Shan\'s voice grew cold. "Sovereign Shao Yin convinced me to help the You family in their attempt to overthrow you, and I admit to being at fault in that matter. However, even before that, Little Mu disappeared. Lord Wei, you are certainly sneaky enough, to have gone after Little Mu back then. Why else would she be here in the Transcendent Universe?"
Lord Wei became upset. "Luo Shan, what are you going on about? How could Monarch Mu possibly be in the Transcendent Universe?"
Luo Shan shouted back, "Little Mu just called me! She’s here in the Transcendent Universe. Just drop the act, Lord Wei! Who else in this universe could trap Little Mu other than you? Those worthless black energy converter users that you have in this universe are completely incapable of handling her. You’re the only one here who could overpower Little Mu.
"Return her to me!"
The accusation infuriated Lord Wei, and he laughed. "Did you lose your brain on the Endless Frontier? Are you seriously claiming that Monarch Mu is here? Luo Shan, if you are seeking death, I can help you find it. Honestly, I really want to kill you!"
"Go ahead and try!" Luo Shan had no intention of properly explaining the situation.
Luo Shan had just found out that Monarch Mu was in the Transcendent Universe, and the only person in the entire universe who could defeat her was Lord Wei. Luo Shan had to rescue his wife. The more powerful people he gathered around himself, the more likely he was to wield authority again.
Monarch Luo had forced himself to endure for long enough. First, he had to tolerate Sovereign Shao Yin’s existence, and then there was Lu Yin. The Monarch no longer wanted to hold back.
Even if the Great Sovereign emerged from seclusion, it would not change anything. Monarch Mu was in the Transcendent Universe, and there was no way for Lord Wei to escape responsibility. More importantly, Lord Wei and the other rulers of the universes had all been injured on the Endless Frontier, which meant that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Luo Shan. It might be possible to take advantage of the current situation and defeat the ruler of the Transcendent Universe, or even the universe itself.
After all, was that not exactly what Lu Yin had done? Luo Shan could do the same.
