Chapter 1617: Assailant

Cang Zhou was still being held captive by Liu Ye and Fei Hua, left unable to move. Sister Fei Hua stood in front of their captive with a solemn expression on her face. Suddenly, a black shadow attacked, catching the couple off guard. Even more shocking was the attacker’s strength; even though the person did not use any battle techniques and their strength could not compare to either Liu Ye or Fei Hua, Liu Ye was being pushed back.

Liu Ye spread out his arms, and dozens of willow leaves spread through the void. The shadowy figure raised a hand and pointed an index finger forward. The finger briefly pointed at each leaf, instantly shattering each one. Liu Ye’s pupils shrank; this was impossible!

The attacker leaped back and entered the true universe. Liu Ye copied the attacker at the same time, but did not see the shadowy figure within the true universe. There was no one to be seen at all.

This was a terrifying battle technique. Liu Ye felt that he was powerful for his cultivation even within the Perennial World, and yet he was being toyed with by this attacker as though he were a child facing an adult. Though Liu Ye used his battle techniques and innate gift, everything was useless.

A black shadow appeared behind Liu Ye and attacked the Envoy with a palm. This was still not a battle technique, though the attack did use stellular energy in some manner that sent chills down Liu Ye’s spine. He spun around, and willow leaves flew out from his palm technique.

There was a bang, and both people exited the true universe at the same time. The shadowy figure shot towards Cang Zhou and Sister Fei Hua by using the force of Liu Ye’s palm attack.

Sister Fei Hua gritted her teeth.

“You’re seeking death!” she said as she raised a hand. Beautiful flowers flew out and danced about while blossoming within the void. Each petal tore through space around Chaosgod Mountain. “You dare move any closer, and I will completely release my stellular energy.”

The shadowy black figure hesitated, and the person stared at Sister Fei Hua in amazement; the woman was nuts!

If an Envoy fully released their stellular energy, it meant that the energy would be detected by the true universe, and any and all exposed stellular energy would be ripped back into the true universe.

Envoys typically held themselves back when fighting, unless then entered a true life or death battle. If their stellular energy was detected by the true universe, it would be ripped away from them in a manner similar to a stellular tribulation.

“Let’s go again.” Liu Ye approached the attacker.

However, at this time, another shadowy figure appeared, and the person stared at Sister Fei Hua. Her eyes flashed, as she suddenly felt as though her entire being had just been greatly weakened. Even the flowers in her hand began to wither. Fei Hua was startled; just what was going on?

“Truesight! They’re from the Ignition Crew!” someone shouted. Lu Yin emerged from the void. He was wearing his micro-armor, and he raised a hand to attack the second shadowy figure who had appeared with a Vacuum Palm.

The black figure’s eyes narrowed, and the person released a shield of light into the void. The Vacuum Palm slammed into the shield, and the force of Lu Yin’s attack was greatly reduced. Even though it continued through the void, it was no longer an invisible Vacuum Palm, but instead looked like a palm attack from an average Enlighter.

Lu Yin was startled; this person’s mastery of Truesight defied Lu Yin’s imagination. This person clearly had the greatest mastery of the technique of anyone Lu Yin had ever encountered. “Who are you?”

The man looked up at the sky.

Lu Yin’s heart sank; this was not good. “Stop him!”

Sister Fei Hua unable to make heads or tails of the situation. While Liu Ye knew that he was fighting against at least one opponent who could use Truesight, he was still being held back by the first shadowy figure who had appeared.

Cracks appeared on the willow leaves and flowers that trapped Cang Zhou, and the strength of the restrictions on the master of Chaosgod Mountain was weakened by Truesight. Cang Zhou roared and broke free of the willow leaves and flowers. He then coughed and spat out blood. “Junior, you’re looking to die!”

“Liu Ye, Fei Hua, retreat!” Lu Yin was decisive. With Cang Zhou working with the two shadowy figures, Lu Yin and his two Envoys stood no chance.

“You’ll stay here even if you want to leave!” Cang Zhou’s hatred for Lu Yin ran deep, and he shot forward and unleashed a punch at the youth. The attack was accompanied by a burst of battle force, making it an incredibly powerful attack.

No matter how impressive the defensive abilities of Lu Yin’s micro-armor, it was still only a means of protection. It did not give Lu Yin the ability to go up against experts with power levels of more than 700,000. Even though Cang Zhou had been seriously injured and Lu Yin had killed multiple corpse kings in the New World with similar power levels, those victories had been won through the use of items and equipment. Lu Yin would have to rely on his items just to escape from these three people.

As Cang Zhou’s punch flew forward, willow leaves appeared in front of Lu Yin. There was a loud bang, and the willow leaves were scattered.

Liu Ye became distracted, and he ended up being caught by the shadowy figure he had been fighting. A palm struck the Envoy’s right shoulder, and he was knocked back 100 meters. Sister Fei Hua raced over to him. “Join hands!”

Right after that, Liu Ye and Fei Hua became entangled.

The battle quickly drew attention from others. After all, it was so violent that all of Chaosgod Mountain had started trembling.

Ku Wei showed up, but he was so scared the moment that he saw the battle that he instantly fled back to the black dome. Cang Yi also saw what was happening, and he immediately grew pale and also ran away at top speed.

Liu Ye and Fei Hua worked together and tried to block Cang Zhou and the other two, but they were simply dreaming. At the same time, Lu Yin took advantage of the instance when his two protectors made their move, as star energy was not suppressed for a moment. An astral chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and he moved himself over to the black dome. He looked back at the battle. “Liu Ye, come here.”

Liu Ye and Fei Hua united to launch an attack, but it was completely nullified by the Truesight expert. When working together, Liu Ye and Fei Hua were supposedly able to stand up to experts with power levels of 900,000, and yet their attack was completely useless.

The couple was stunned, so the moment they heard Lu Yin yell at them, they pulled back to the black dome.

Cang Zhou and the other two immediately gave chase.

Lu Yin pulled out the small, blood-red bell and rang it under the shocked eyes of his three opponents. For a moment, everyone felt as though they saw a massive hand pressing down upon their heads from above. The hand replaced the sky and the universe. It was beyond anything they could imagine. That was the Chief Justice’s power.

By the time Lu Yin’s three opponents were able to react, Lu Yin and all of his companions had disappeared from above the black dome. They had already left Chaosgod Mountain.

Cang Zhou coughed up more blood as he stared at the empty black dome. He commented with evident frustration, “We can’t let them escape without chasing them down!”

Neither of the two shadowy figures moved at all.

Cang Zhou looked at them.

One of the two said, “That child has the Chief Justice’s emblem, so there’s no point in chasing after them. If not for the fact that the emblem’s suppression being untargeted, both of us would have been in danger.”

“That child’s backing is beyond complicated. We cannot move against him for the moment,” the other person said.

“Is that how it must be? I have never before suffered such humiliation!” Cang Zhou growled.

“Did you say anything at all about us?” one of the figures asked.

Cang Zhou angrily retorted, “Of course not! Some kid wants to control me? How could that be possible?”

The Envoy’s eyes flashed as he spoke. “However, he did discover something, though I have no idea how he managed it.”

“What?”

Cang Zhou frowned. “He discovered our connection to the Leo family. He knows that I had some sort of connection to the people who attacked Big Sis’s mercenaries back then. Also, you were just recognized by Truesight, which means that he knows there’s a connection between Chaosgod Mountain and the Ignition Crew.”

“How did he learn about the Leo family?” one of the shadowy figures wondered.

Cang Zhou shook his head. “I have no idea. All of the people involved in that matter should already be dead, except for you and I. Lu Yin already even killed your Ignition Crew’s Jin He, so I have no idea how he learned anything at all. However, he now knows beyond any shadow of a doubt that there’s a connection between my Chaosgod Mountain and the Ignition Crew. Sooner or later, he’ll learn the truth about that incident.”

“Then we can’t wait. Contact the Daynight Clan and the Sword Sect to start making plans,” a black figure said. This was the same person who had been suppressing Liu Ye throughout the fight.

“Don’t worry, he can’t find out anything about you,” Cang Zhou reassured the person.

The shadow’s gaze hardened. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Out in space, Liu Ye and Fei Hua carried along a group of colossal giants and made their way to the east. They were returning to Giant Consortium.

Lu Yin sat on a giant’s shoulder, his expression dark. He had failed! Failed! He had never expected that Chaosgod Mountain’s connections would be so deep. They actually had a relationship with the Ignition Crew! One of those two people who had attacked had to have been from the Ignition Crew, though not necessarily both of them. Gods’ Origin also made use of Truesight, and the use of the technique left most people helpless. Both Liu Ye and Fei Hua had been weakened to the point that they had been helpless.

Who else could have been involved?

Liu Ye and Fei Hua were both feeling quite frustrated, as they had been overwhelmed and defeated.

Liu Ye looked over at Lu Yin. “That person who was fighting against me is by no means as simple as they looked from the outside. He knew precisely where my stellular energy vortex is located, and the only reason that he didn’t attack it was as a warning. Even in the Perennial World, there is no three tribulation Envoy capable of doing that, and not even a five tribulation expert is guaranteed to instantly discover the location of my stellular energy vortex.”

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. “Are you saying that he was hiding his strength?”

“Absolutely,” Liu Ye stated.

Sister Fei Hua stared at Lu Yin. “What was that technique that my opponent used? Not only was it useless for the two of us to work together, my own personal strength was also weakened greatly.”

“That was the Truesight I mentioned before,” Lu Yin replied indifferently. He then simply ignored Liu Ye and Fei Hua. He felt that the entire situation was growing increasingly complicated, and it had to have something to do with Big Sis’s mercenary crew being chased down and people trying to kill them.

Who all had been involved in that incident? What was the reason for it? If it had only been to deal with Big Sis and her mercenaries, then any Chaosgod Mountain elder could have dealt with the situation. What was the reason to go through the Leo family? Why not just kill everyone in the mercenary crew? Chaosgod Mountain and the Ignition Crew… It seemed to Lu Yin like his attack on Chaosgod Mountain might have touched something further that he was ignorant of.

If not for God Taiyi informing Lu Yin about the connection the Leo family had with Chaosgod Mountain, Lu Yin would have remained completely ignorant of the further depths of the matter.

Big Sis’s mercenaries were not particularly important. What was important was Leon’s Armada that stood behind them. Could the Ignition Crew have teamed up with Chaosgod Mountain to attack Leon’s Armada?

Lu Yin could not let this matter go, and he immediately called Highsage Leon.

The call went through, and Lu Yin heard a deafening shout, “Boy, you wait this long to contact me? Do you not take me seriously? Watch out, or else I’ll string you up and beat your ass!”

Lu Yin scratched at his ears. “Captain, I got into a tight spot.”

“That’s got nothing to do with me! Just die if you can’t handle it yourself!” Highsage Leon instantly cursed at Lu Yin.

Another voice came through the call, “Please be nice. You’ll scare Little Seven.”

“Frighten him my ass! He even tore his way into that place; what could possibly scare him.”

“Little Seven is still young.”

“Fine. Get out. Your appearance is changing every day; can’t you go without doing that for even a single day?”

Lu Yin felt quite helpless as he heard the conversation taking place on the other end of the call. He was unable to get a word in even if he wanted to. All he could do was wait.

“Alright kid, why did you call me?” Highsage Leon asked.

Lu Yin solemnly replied, “I poked a hornet’s nest.”

“Who’d you poke?” Highsage Leon instantly became interested.

“Chaosgod Mountain.”

Highsage Leon fell silent for a moment, and then started raging, “Are you fucking with me? Just Chaosgod Mountain? What’s the big deal?”

Lu Yin shared what had happened, and after he finished, Highsage Leon’s tone changed yet again. “Two powerhouses? And one of them had to have been the captain of the Ignition Crew, that bastard Jin Mie. He’s the only person from the Ignition Crew who can stand up to someone with a power level of 700,000. I don’t know who the other person could be. The Leo family acted on Chaosgod Mountain’s orders? Alright, I’ll go and stomp on Chaosgod Mountain.”
