BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2687: Mascot
Chapter 2687: Mascot
If the Great Sovereign was comparable to the Origin Progenitor, then the Three Sovereigns were likely comparable to the Three Realms Six Dao. That was not a level of power that Lord Wei could stand up to, let alone when such a person launched a sneak attack.
Lu Yin could not understand what Sovereign Shao Yin had just done with his attack, but it was clear that Lord Wei was already done for.
Lord Weis defeat was not unwarranted. It was impossible to measure the amount of preparations that the You family had made for this day. They had been preparing since at least You Xian\'s generation, and possibly even longer.
The You family had cooperated with Luo Shan and Sovereign Shao Yin to deal with Lord Wei, while also using He Ran, Bai Qian, and Xuan Qi. How could a plan that involved so many powerful and influential people be ruined by ordinary people? It had been an extremely thorough plan, and after seeing it, Lu Yin would be far warier of the You family in the future.
At that thought, LuYin was reminded of the black energy converter that he was after. Sure enough, there was a real black energy converter hidden in the laboratory.
Sensing the majestic energy it contained, Lu Yin grabbed the energy converter and left.
Even though Lord Wei had lost, he would not die quickly. Lu Yin needed to take advantage of this bit of time to get as much done as possible.
Far away, Lord Wei\'s screams horrified all who heard them, and countless people across the Transcendent Universe were overcome with despair.
When the ruler of their universe died, there was no predicting what fate would befall the Transcendent Universe.
Uncle Mo was unable to save Lord Wei, so he turned around and left. There was no hesitation to be seen. He understood that he needed to rescue Lord Wei in order to stay alive. Otherwise, remaining would only lead to Uncle Mos death as well.
Luo Shan watched Uncle Mo leave and made no move to stop the man. Luo Shan only needed to cooperate with the You family at the beginning of the battle in order to help them finalize the preparations to carry out their plan. As for how they would deal with Lord Wei, that had nothing to do with the Monarch.
"Sovereign Shao Yin, youve gotten involved in the internal affairs of my Transcendent Universe! How do you intend to justify your actions to the Great Sovereign?" Lord Wei roared.
You Xian sneered. "You\'re still spouting nonsense. Only my You family has been attacking you this entire time."
Even as the man spoke, he continued to attack Lord Wei.
Lord Wei\'s body continued to break apart as the shadows that enveloped his body continued to tear him apart. He was no longer able to use his manifested thoughts. It was as though his thoughts had grown sluggish.
Elsewhere, at the bottom of a staircase, He Ran helplessly stared at a display that showed the events taking place. The moment Lord Wei was defeated, she would be done for as well. How could this have happened? How could the You family have hidden their strength so well? It was absurd. He Ran had assumed that she had been fighting against the You family, and even surpassing them. However, who could have known that even she had been nothing more than their pawn this entire time?
If she stayed where she was, she would only be waiting for death. It was clear that Lord Wei was about to die, but He Ran could not accept her own death as well.
She shouted, "Ke Jian!"
The man was standing close by, also lost in shock at what was transpiring. He heard He Ran\'s cry and hurried over to her. "Madam?"
"Get me away from here!" He Ran ordered, her face pale.
Ke Jian looked back at the image on the display. Leave? Could they really leave? If they did, they would never be able to return.
"Ke Jian, take me away from here!" He Ran shouted, suddenly angry.
While Ke Jian wanted to, reason told him not to.
He was different from He Ran. She had to leave in order to survive, as she was an enemy of the You family and was one of Lord Weis people. On the other hand, Ke Jian did not have to follow Lord Wei. As long as the You family was willing to accept him, he could follow them instead.
The moment Lord Wei died, Ke Jians only option would be to turn to the You family. The You family would not be concerned about Ke Jian at all, as they would rule over the entire universe.
Ke Jian hesitated. He did not want to leave. He wanted to stay in the Transcendent Universe. If he left, he would have no way to recharge his white energy converter once it was drained, and that would cause him to lose his current status.
He Ran\'s expression changed. "Ke Jian, get me out of here! I still have one more white energy converter, and I can give you another."
Ke Jian stared at He Ran. At this moment, he was not even considering whether he should leave, but rather how he could demonstrate his new loyalties. He could capture He Ran and give her to the You family as a demonstration. No, that would not work. What would be enough to cause the You family to accept a traitor like Ke Jian?
He was facing a dilemma, and he did not know what to do.
At this moment, a hand fell onto the old mans shoulder. "It looks like youre going to betray Sister Ran."
Ke Jian\'s expression changed drastically as he spun around, startled. "Xuan Qi?"
He Ran also stared in shock. "Xuan Qi? You- you\'re not dead?"
Lu Yin gave her a small smile. "Sister Ran, do you want me to be dead?"
He Ran stared at him, confused. What was going on? Just what had happened?
Xuan Qi was not dead, which meant that he had deliberately faked his own death. Was he also cooperating with the You family? But if that were true, then why would he have planted Luo Qian\'s lens in the Ziyou Realm to frame the You family?
Thinking of that, He Ran still resented how Luo Shan had been secretly cooperating with the You family. The entire situation was a farce.
Ke Jian stared at Lu Yin who was right beside him. "Were you sent here by the You family?"
The old mans thoughts mirrored He Rans.
A smile spread across Lu Yin\'s face as he replied, "Youre completely wrong."
With that, Lu Yins hand dropped. There was a snap, and Ke Jians body was pressed to the floor. There was a brief moment when Ke Jian reflexively fought back with his white energy, but he was completely helpless against Lu Yin. The old man grew horrified, and he suppressed the pain he was suffering from the hand pressing down on him as he stared up at Lu Yin in disbelief. "What?"
Lu Yin flicked his wrist, and Ke Jians body was thrown far away, where it landed with a bang.
"If you hadnt betrayed He Ran, I could have still admired you a bit. Unfortunately, youre nothing but a traitor." As Lu Yin spoke, he directed his hand towards the distant form of Ke Jian and then bent all five fingers. The white energy was ripped away from Ke Jian\'s chest and pulled straight into Lu Yins hand. "Thats one more."
He Ran calmly watched everything. She found herself unable to figure out who this man represented, as his actions did not appear to benefit the You family.
"Who are you?" He Ran asked. Ke Jian was not someone who could be easily defeated without years of cultivation. Was it possible that Xuan Qi had been hiding his strength the entire time?
She suddenly thought of another possibility, though it seemed too fantastical to be real: could Xuan Qi and Zi Jing have been plotting against He Ran from beginning to end? Was that actually possible?
Lu Yin glanced over at the display again. Lord Weis struggles were almost finished.
Lu Yin walked over to He Ran and stared at the perfect face. His hand rose, and he briefly touched her face while admiringly saying, "What a beautiful person. My Heavens Sect needs a mascot like you.
He Ran\'s expression changed drastically yet again, and her mouth fell open. "Youre from the Heavens Sect? Arent you and Lu Yin enemies?"
Lu Yin just smiled and placed He Ran in a Zenith Mountain before stepping out and disappearing.
The very next moment, Uncle Mo arrived, but he only saw Ke Jian\'s corpse. There was absolutely no trace of He Ran that he could find.
Before going to find He Ran, Lu Yin had wanted to grab Bai Qian and take her away. Lord Wei had failed, which meant that neither He Ran nor Bai Qian had any use any longer. However, Lu Yin was unable to get in touch with Bai Qian, which made him very uneasy. She had most likely been taken away by the You family and was under their control, but Lu Yin could not search for her at the moment. He would have to wait for the battle to end and then approach the You family later on as Xuan Qi.
No matter how suspicious the You family might be of Xuan Qi, they would not be able to do anything about it because he had multiple peak powerhouses supporting him.
If Lu Yin had not sent out some messages the moment he faked Xuan Qis death, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and even Xu Wuji might have appeared in the Transcendent Universe, which would have made things far more chaotic.
In the middle of outer space, Lord Wei\'s resistance grew weaker and weaker. The shadow that covered his body gripped him like the mouth of a beast, making it difficult for him to move.
"Your You family has conspired with an outsider against the Transcendent Universe! You Xian, are your actions worthy of your You familys ancestor? Will the Transcendent Universe still be the same home to us?" Lord Wei roared.
You Xian and others remained indifferent, and the shadow grew more aggressive.
"I can die, and you may be able to seize control of the Transcendent Universe, but you will never gain the full Transcendent Universe!
"I know what your family wants, but you can never get it. You will never find out where they are working on that cultivation technology! Its impossible!"
You Fang\'s eyes went wide, as he understood that Lord Wei was talking about the sequence particle research. It was a project that Lord Wei had personally hidden, so did these words mean that it was truly impossible for anyone to find them other than Lord Wei himself?
"Where\'s Uncle Mo? You Teng, go find Uncle Mo and He Ran! We need to capture them!" You Fang suddenly shouted.
You Teng quickly shook off Wen Shi and disappeared to find Uncle Mo.
Lord Wei continued to rage, "No one can access that place but me! You will never get there! When that cultivation technology is perfected, I will return, and your You family will die! Sovereign Shao Yin, I want you to die-"
There was a violent explosion. Lord Wei had actually taken the initiative to self-destruct, exploding with an unprecedented strength that tore through outer space and the void, leaving a massive hole to the Hollow in the Transcendent Universe.
Everyone pulled back.
The moment that Luo Shan saw the Hollow, fear deep appeared in his eyes, and he fled faster than anyone else, even going so far as to tear through the void and leave the universe itself.
The Hollow swallowed a massive region of space. The person who had been closest to the explosion had been Sovereign Shao Yin. While he had never allowed himself to be seen by anyone, everyone understood that the power that had incapacitated Lord Wei definitely belonged to Sovereign Shao Yin. Apart from the Three Sovereigns, who else could render Lord Wei so helpless? The ruler of the Transcendent Universe had been forced to commit suicide.
Lord Wei\'s suicide was something that Sovereign Shao Yin had not expected at all, and he was nearly pulled into the Hollow himself. While he did manage to escape, Sovereign Shao Yin was still severely injured. When he appeared in a distant location, his golden robe was in tatters, and he was coughing up blood as he watched space collapse.
He wiped the blood from his lips as he stared at the Hollow with cold eyes. "What a madman."
Lord Wei had been the ruler of the Transcendent Universe, so who could have expected him to kill himself so decisively? Not even You Xian and the rest of the You family had considered the possibility of Lord Wei having a back-up plan.
"It can only be said that Lord Wei suffered losses when that person escaped from him all those years ago." You Xian sighed as he looked at Ziyou Realm.
You Fang replied, "That person not only hurt Lord Wei, but they also caused our You family to suffer great losses."
You Xian watched as the Hollow started to shrink, and he let out a long breath. "The Transcendent Universe now belongs to my You family."
The You family then returned to the Ziyou Realm and recalled their people from every part of the Transcendent Universe. You Xian was handed back authority over the entire family, and he led the charge in purging Lord Weis die-hard supporters while also maintaining order for the universe.
While the You family had just staged a coup, they had been preparing for too many years, and their preparations allowed them to very quickly stabilize things in the Transcendent Universe.
You Xian and others all returned to the Ziyou Realm. They had taken control of the universe, but at this moment, they needed to consider how to deal with Sovereign Shao Yin and the others.
Such people had not helped the You family without their own motivations.
You Lele stood in the middle of numerous displays that gave her a view of all the different parts of the Transcendent Universe. The You family\'s great victory had made her the true princess of the universe, and her previously slovenly appearance was nowhere to be seen. She looked as though she had been reborn and was quite beautiful to look at.
This was the real You Lele, not the madwoman who knew nothing but researching cultivation technologies and playing with her dandruff.
