Lu Yin’s surroundings fell silent. Everyone shadowing and watching him exchanged glances. They were all from various major factions, and while they were all observing the Third Boss, they had refrained from communicating with one another.
No one would ask the others where they were from, unless they were out of their mind.
"Hey, brother, where are you from?" someone actually asked.
A flicker of killing intent appeared in the other person’s eyes. "Get lost."
The first man just rolled his eyes. "Come on, lighten up. Maybe we're from the same place."
"I said, get lost!" The second person was furious. He noticed the Third Boss’s eyes drift towards him. Was that because their conversation had drawn the man’s attention? This idiot! I don’t want to die!
The first man pouted. "Stingy."
The second man wanted to do nothing more than kill the first man, except that it was the wrong time.
He made a note of the idiot. Just you wait.
The second man was startled by the command. He numbly turned his head and met Lu Yin’s eyes.
The man was terrified, and he nearly burst into tears. Not me! I wasn’t trying to talk! Not me!
Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder, scaring him so badly he nearly fainted.
"Hey, brother, he’s calling me." The man who had just asked a question stepped forward, moving towards Lu Yin.
The second man was dumbfounded. What is going on?
Still lounging on his sedan, Lu Yin looked over at the young man jogging towards him. "Are you from the Gate of Laws?"
The young man responded with a bright smile, "Yes, I’m from the Gate of Laws. Greetings, Third Boss."
Lu Yin’s lips curved up into a smile. "Contact the Gate of Laws and get me an explanation."
The young man blinked. "An explanation for what?"
"Get me an explanation for what happened at Boundless," Lu Yin replied.
The young man did not ask any additional questions, and he promptly sent a message to the Gate of Laws.
The Spirit Nidus possessed communication tools that were similar to the Tianyuan Megaverse’s communication crystals. Because the entire megaverse was interconnected, their version of communication crystals could reach anywhere. Meanwhile, many places in the Tianyuan Megaverse were forced to rely on wireless jincans, which were the only things that could ignore distance.
"Here you go, Third Boss." The young man handed over a tool that was very similar to a communication crystal. The item was called a spirit cloudstone.
Lu Yin took it. "Who is it?"
"Zhan Ming."
"Seraph Zhan Ming?"
Old Tao and Palace Master Yao just watched. As easy as that, Lu Yin had called a Seraph.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Third Boss."
Everyone was left speechless. Was that how anyone spoke to a Seraph? Lu Yin might be the first to do so, though he also had the strength to back it up.
In the Law Domain, Zhan Ming’s face did not even twitch. "What business does Third Boss have with my Gate of Laws?"
"Give me an explanation."
"An explanation for what?"
"Someone sneaked aboard Boundless. It was an old man on the brink of death. Don’t tell me that that wasn’t your doing."
Zhan Ming frowned. "That has nothing to do with me."
"I don’t believe you."
"It really has nothing to do with me. I’m certain that Zhan Yan is not aboard Boundless. You wouldn’t have left her there."
"I already told you that I don’t believe you."
Zhan Ming quickly realized that it would be impossible to communicate with this person. Was this Third Boss simply that overbearing? Speaking in such a rude and domineering manner was something that Zhang Ming usually employed when communicating with others, but never had someone else addressed him in such a manner.
While the High Seraph could suppress the Seven Seraphs, the High Seraph would never speak to them so crassly. Everyone adhered to certain rules and maintained a level of courtesy and proper decorum. The Third Boss did not.
"What do you want, Third Boss? This incident has nothing to do with my Gate of Laws. We cannot give you an explanation," Zhan Ming solemnly stated.
Lu Yin sneered. "Either convince me that you had nothing to do with it, or give me an explanation. It’s that simple."
Is he really this shameless? Was Zhan Ming’s immediate thought.
When five domains had worked together to barricade the Hundred Grasses Domain and prevent anyone from joining the Grandverse Manor, those five domains had been attacked and their ruling powers purged within mere days.
Everyone assumed that the Grandverse Manor had already set up a functioning intelligence network throughout the Spirit Nidus. How else could they have identified the culprits behind the blockade so quickly?
The truth of the matter was that the Gate of Laws had helped the Grandverse Manor investigate the matter. They had been left with no choice, as the Grandverse Manor held both Zhan Yan and the key. Lu Yin had plenty of ways to coerce the Gate of Laws.
The current situation was no different. Lu Yin had the Gate of Laws by the throat, and Zhan Ming was helpless.
After a long pause, Zhan Ming reluctantly asked, "What kind of explanation do you want, Third Boss?"
"Are you admitting to being the responsible party?" Lu Yin retorted.
"We had nothing to do with it, but we can’t prove our innocence either. Just tell me what you want, Third Boss," Zhan Ming replied.
"Is Qi Zun really dead?" Lu Yin asked.
