“Stellular liquid?” Xia Taili blurted out, her face white.
The middle-aged man had similarly gone pale; it was over! Everything was over.
The third elder’s body trembled, and he nearly fainted.
The Smokecould Sect’s Envoy who had appeared swept his hand out, twisting the void and blocking others’ sight of what was happening. At the same time, he seized the remaining liquid. The spatial crack leading to the true universe suddenly opened wider, and a sharp ray shot out towards the Envoy. It hit his hand, and three of his fingers were broken. Instinctively, he retracted his hand and the last of the liquid was sucked into the true universe and the crack disappeared.
The Envoy seethed with rage, and he turned to glare at Lu Yin and the others while radiating killing intent.
Xia Taili’s face was still pale. She had watched the entire scene in shock. She looked like someone had struck her.
Lu Yin knew that what he had just witnessed was not a simple matter, but he was not afraid of the Envoy’s anger and rage.
“Uncle Kuang, they-” The third elder started speaking, but was cut off when the Envoy raised his bleeding hand. The powerhouse ignored his injury, and then turned and left without saying a single word.
Cai Shu made no attempt to stop the man. He was still staring at the pile of broken items. The depths of his eyes betrayed turbulent thoughts.
Lu Yin had not expected the Envoy to leave so readily. Lu Yin had attacked the powerhouse, and yet the man had said nothing. It seemed as though the Envoy could not wait to escape the place.
The third elder was missing his perpetual smile, and instead looked like he was mourning his dead mother.
Yun Yang was completely confused, and he had not understood anything that had happened.
As for the middle-aged man, his reaction was even worse than the third elder’s. The man was on the ground, seemingly paralyzed. For being a powerful Enlighter, he looked pathetic.
Lu Yin expected the man to say something, yet he remained silent. In fact, the man did not even look at anyone as he numbly walked towards where the clouds rose into the sky.
Everything had been truly bizarre.
Lu Yin turned to look back at Xia Taili, who was staring at the pile of broken items in the same manner as Cai Shu.
Lu Yin was feeling incredibly curious; just what was that liquid? Was it some sort of power vessel that was able to twist space and open a path to the true universe? Suddenly, Lu Yin remember pyrolyte and how its appearance had thrown the Innerverse and Outerverse into chaos. This liquid seemed to be similar to pyrolyte!
“I remembered, stellular liquid-” Wang Dashuai suddenly said, sounding as though he was rather incredulous.
Cai Shu shouted, “Shut up!”
Wang Dashuai’s mouth snapped shut. His face became as white as Xia Taili’s, and he also stared blankly at the pile of rubble on the ground.
Lu Yin nudged the fatty. “Stellular liquid? What’s that?”
The fatty’s expression twisted, and he quietly replied, “Go back to get an explanation, but it’s a a big problem. We might have kicked a hornet’s nest.”
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Cai Shu looked over at Lu Yin and quietly said, “Hurry back to headquarters and forget about this. Don’t say anything about it to anyone.”
Lu Yin agreed, “Don’t worry, we’ll behave.”
Cai Shu nodded. “Go.”
Their arrival had created a shock, but no one paid any attention to their departure. It seemed as though no one from the Smokecloud Sect, including the third elder, even saw Lu Yin and the other youths leave. No one moved to touch the broken items. The entire situation seemed to be the start of trouble, but it was also all very eerie and peaceful.
Lu Yin suppressed his curiosity and did not ask any questions while they returned to Huaiyuan Gate.
