Since Lu Yin did not understand what had happened, he would just go take a look.

He made his way back to the Mo Courtyard with the excuse of paying a formal visit to Chen Le. He wanted to meet the commander of the Mo Courtyard who was expected to soon become a peak powerhouse.

But when Lu Yin arrived at the Mo Courtyard, he was informed that Chen Le was not present.

Lu Yin's heart fell. "Where has Senior Chen Le gone?"

He was speaking to one of Che Le’s disciples. "Master did not mention where he was going. What do you need from my master, Acting Bureau Director? I can deliver your message for you."

Lu Yin replied, "I quite admire Senior Chen Le, so I came over to meet him. However, since he isn’t here, then there’s no need to bother."

He turned to leave, but after just a few steps, he looked back. "How long has Senior Chen Le been gone for?"

The disciple replied, "You just missed him, Acting Bureau Director."

Lu Yin's eyes hardened, and he gave the disciple a faint smile before leaving the Mo Courtyard. "Thank you."

Cang Bi felt rather puzzled. "Is there something that you need from Senior Chen Le, Acting Bureau Director?"

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed. "Are you suspicious of Senior?"

"You’re overthinking things. I merely admire the commander of the Mo Courtyard and wanted to pay him a visit," Lu Yin reassured the man.

Cang Bi sighed in relief. "That's good, Senior Chen Le can’t be a spy. He is our Three Monarchs Universe’s next peak powerhouse, and he has done great things on the Endless Frontier. If any accusations of him being a spy are brought up, many will definitely step forward to refute those claims."

Lu Yin grew curious. "Refute any suspicions? What do you mean?"

Cang Bi explained, "Senior Chen Le’s cultivation journey is simply dazzling. He was guided by Monarch Luo, Monarch Mu, and Monarch Xing, and he has even earned the admiration of peak powerhouses from other universes. Mr. Daheng from the Arboreal Realm even called Senior Chenn Le a marvel of humanity."

Lu Yin exclaimed, "That's amazing. For him to have trained under the three Monarchs themselves to reach his current level, Senior Chen Le must be incredibly powerful."

"That goes without saying." While Cang Bi was indifferent about most of the members of the Mo Courtyard, he showed a bit of deference to Old Greenpeel, but felt genuine admiration for Chen Le. "Senior’s greatest achievement was slaying a corpse king at the same level of strength as him with a single arrow. His mastery of the Monarch Arrow is truly peerless, and it was this accomplishment that caused him to be praised by Mr. Daheng. As soon as Senior Chen Le breaks through, as a peak powerhouse, he will be a weapon of mass destruction wherever he goes. He’ll be someone capable of altering the course of any battle."

The two spoke as they returned to the courtyard that had been given to Xuan Qi and his team from the Voidforce Universe’s Bureau.

Lu Yin watched as Cang Bi returned to stand guard after they returned from the Mo Courtyard, and his face fell. He raced back to the Voidforce Universe. If his guess was correct, then the intended recipient of the strange message that Wu Tong had received was actually Chen Le. The Demi-Monarch might already be actively searching for the remnants of the Bai clan. According to Old Greenpeel's memories, Chen Le had recently been investigating the Bai clan.

While timing alone was no proof that the Bai clan had been exterminated by Chen Le, it did prove that Chen Le was searching for the clan. With his mastery of the Monarch Arrow, Lu Yin was almost entirely certain of his suspicions.

Lu Yin had already moved the surviving members of the Bai clan to the Red Zone, but he had also made it a point to leave behind clues pointing towards the Red Zone. That meant that Chen Le would be able to find the survivors, as long as he was determined enough. This was no different from how Old Dian had used the remnants of the Bai clan as bait to lure out the people who wanted to annihilate them.

When Lu Yin weighed Chen Le's fear of the Red Zone against his desire to become a peak powerhouse, the man seemed rather likely to take the risk.

...

In the Voidforce Universe, an arrow shot into the Red Zone, stabbing straight into the ground. Tri-colored monarch essence covered the arrow. The arrow did not pierce through the void, but instead instantly disappeared. It was as though the void was unable to react to the arrow’s presence.

The ground in the Red Zone broke open, and fissures spread in every direction from where the arrow had struck. Buildings shattered, and a cold aura swept through the air.

A roar of anger rang out, and raging voidforce energy shot into the sky, followed by a long spear that was shrouded in an incredible amount of voidforce energy.

A man rose up from underground, and blood leaked from his wounds. His eyes were bloodshot with rage as he glared in the direction that the arrow had come from. He was the Void Morphora protector of the Red Zone. His only task was to defend the Red Zone from any and all enemies.

The man was powerful enough that it was difficult for anyone to catch him off guard, unless they were at the level of a Void Suprema. Despite that, the guardian had not been able to react to the arrow, and it had pierced his shoulder. If not for the distance between himself and the attacker, his wounds from the arrow would have been far more severe.

This was a Monarch Arrow from the Three Monarchs Universe.

"Who dares to invade the Bureau?" the man shouted furiously as he glared outside the Red Zone.

Inside the Red Zone, many staff members were both shocked and angry, and they also turned to stare outside the Red Zone. That single arrow had already caused numerous casualties.

Ghost Three and Ning Ran were both in the Red Zone at the moment, and they felt incredible pressure as they looked out.

The Bureau Manager immediately sent a message to Xu Wuji, as they were being attacked by a powerful enemy.

Another arrow pierced the void, aimed straight at the Void Morphora.

The man thrust both of his hands forward, and his spear released a surge of voidforce energy that was several times greater than the man’s own reserves. A nearly impenetrable barrier formed around the entire Red Zone. This barrier was close to the Void Suprema level.

The arrow shot towards the voidforce energy barrier, and after a brief pause, a second arrow flew over as well. Following that, a full volley rained down, and the barrier was eventually shattered. The arrows were all aimed straight at the Void Morphora.

The man was mortified. He could control an amount of voidforce energy that was close to a Void Suprema’s,which meant that no one within the same realm should be able to breach his barrier. However, this enemy had done so in just a few arrows. Who? Who was this? This person had to be right at the cusp of becoming a peak powerhouse.

Even a true powerhouse would not dare to be careless against this arrow technique.

The Void Morphora thrust his spear forward, only for the weapon to be cleaved in two by an arrow. The residual momentum propelled the arrow forward towards the Void Morphora. He dodged and just barely avoided the attack.

Had his spear not absorbed some of the power of the attack and slowed the arrow, the Red Zone’s guard would have struggled to survive the attack.

Every arrow that was sent towards the Void Morphora locked the void down, preventing the man from dodging. This was the end. If the Bureau Director did not arrive soon, the Red Zone’s guardian knew that he would die.

In the depths of the Red Zone, the captured spies were all thrilled. Could a powerhouse from Aeternus have come to rescue them? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝓷𝓸𝙫𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Cheng Feng looked up. Is it Lord Shaman God?

Yi Jun stayed seated within the region with the beautiful scenery, a Poison Toad still perched on her shoulder.

As the ground of the Red Zone broke apart, a ray of sunlight shone down, illuminating the woman’s pale face.

She observed the constant shaking of the Red Zone. The place was clearly on the brink of collapse. Finally, a smile bloomed across her face. This invader should be a powerful Aeternal.

On the ground, the Void Morphora stared off into the distance in horror, overcome with despair.

Five arrows fell from far away. Four were aimed at the Red Zone’s guardian, while the fifth shot towards the bell tower.

There was a thunderous boom, and the bell tower crumbled. The arrow continued on after destroying the tower, and fell into a crevice in the ground. At the bottom was Yi Jun, and she watched the approaching arrow with a vacant expression.

As the arrows flew across the Red Zone, stars and planets exploded from their passage.

Yi Jun was reduced to dust, instantly and completely vanishing.

At the same time, many other people died as well. Some of those people were members of the Bureau’s staff, while others were captured spies.

The Void Morphora blocked one arrow, but the following three broke his body apart, and his blood stained the ground.

A powerful Void Morphora had died so simply.

Among the numerous buildings in the Red Zone lived a family. They were descendants of the Bai clan.

From the moment the first arrow had been launched to the Void Morphora’s death, only ten seconds had passed. That was all it took for a powerful Void Morphora to be killed. At the same time, the Red Zone had been destroyed.

The remnants of the Bai clan huddled together in fear.

At this moment, someone emerged from the void and stared down at the members of the Bai clan, and his eyes lit up. "It should be here! It has to be here!"

As the men descended, his eyes remained locked on the people cowering in the corner of a building.

He opened his mouth and spoke to them.

One elder from the group was horrified. "It's you! You’re the one who exterminated my Bai clan!"

The attacker was about to say something, but instead, his expression changed drastically. He threw out a Lotus Artifact and stepped forward. The entire cowering crowd was swept up together and dragged towards a tear in the void.

Xu Wuji then arrived in the Red Zone, and he immediately turned, locking his eyes on the place where the attacker had just vanished from. There was no hesitation as the Void Suprema released an attack, but the Lotus Artifact stopped it. Just as Wu Xuji readied his next attack, the mysterious invader and every member of the Bai clan vanished into the void.

Xu Wuji roared in fury. He had been too late. It had taken him mere seconds to arrive, but that delay was too long for him to change anything about the situation.

The last few members of the Bai clan were gone, and the Red Zone had been reduced to ruins. If Xu Wuji could not find the attacker, he would be ridiculed for countless years as the most pathetic Bureau Director.

He absolutely had to find out who that attacker was.

By the time Lu Yin arrived at the Red Zone, everything had already ended.

He was greeted by the sight of the destruction from the attack and the scent of blood. His brow furrowed at the sight.

Xu Wuji was confused by Xuan Qi’s unexpected arrival. "Aren't you supposed to be in the Transcendent Universe?"

Lu Yin replied, "I see that you’re a bit out of touch, Bureau Director. I’ve been sent to the Three Monarchs Universe on a mission.”

Xu Wuji was in no mood to discuss such things. "Why did you come back right now?"

"I wanted to investigate some of Yi Jun’s contacts. There might be another spy hidden among them. I was hoping to follow up on a clue that I had discovered in the Three Monarchs Universe," Lu Yin replied. This was the excuse that he had come up with.

Xu Wuji looked away. Down below, the Bureau’s staff were silently dealing with the corpses.

All that remained of the Void Morphora guardian was a bit of blood-soaked cloth.

"Bureau Director, what happened here?" Lu Yin asked softly.

Xu Wuji quickly recounted the few details, surprising Lu Yin. "A Lotus Artifact?"

"The attacker was not one of Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples. None of them would dare to do this, especially not with Cheng Feng already in our custody." Xu Wuji hesitated, and his brow furrowed. "However, the Bai clan was taken."

Lu Yin was taken aback. "Could this person be the same one who exterminated the Bai clan?"

Xu Wuji's eyes narrowed. He was not wearing his sunglasses at this moment, and his cold rage was readily apparent. His normally icy composure had given way to a seething rage. This was the first time that Lu Yin had seen Xu Wuji exude any sort of bloodlust.

"Should I find out who did this, not even the son of the Great Sovereign will be spared!"

Lu Yin arched a brow. Xu Wuji frequently used others' sons in his metaphors. Last time, he had mentioned Lord Xu’s son, and this time, he spoke about the Great Sovereign’s son.

Lu Yin soon headed back for the Three Monarchs Universe from the Voidforce Universe.

Yi Jun had been killed. He had not expected her to end up as collateral damage. It could only be said that she was unlucky.

As soon as he returned to the Three Monarchs Universe, Lu Yin went back to pay Chen Le another visit. He needed to ascertain if that man had been the one to attack the Red Zone. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

"Acting Bureau Director, why have you returned so soon?" Chen Le's disciple felt quite puzzled, and he gave Lu Yin a strange look.

Lu Yin replied, "This time, I’m not here for Senior Chen Le. I’ve heard that there’s a unique stone where Senior Chen Le cultivates. As someone with a fascination for peculiar stones, I was hoping to take a look at it."

Chen Le's disciple immediately understood, as there was indeed such a stone. It would produce a sound as crisp as the morning bells and evening drums, and many visitors came to admire it. It would not be a problem for the Acting Bureau Director to look at it as well. "I'm sorry, Acting Bureau Director, but my master has requested that he be left undisturbed."

"Has Senior Chen Le already returned?" Lu Yin asked in surprise, though a cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes.
