Chapter 3447: Taking Action
Palace Master Yao’s supporters angrily cursed the Third Boss. “How outrageous! Will Yuan Qi not even show up? Are they just sending this Third Boss? They’ve gone too far!”
“Palace Master Yao’s strength is without equal! That Third Boss isn’t worthy to challenge her.”
“Have Yuan Qi come.”
“Have the entire Grandverse Manor come!”
The news actually allowed Palace Master Yao to heave a sigh of relief. Would only the Third Boss come? She could handle that much. As long as Yuan Qi stayed out of the matter, she feared no one from the Grandverse Manor.
Hearing the shouts outside from people demanding that Yuan Qi get involved caused Palace Master Yao’s face to darken.
Were her supporters helping or harming her?
Shui Hua approached. “Palace Master.”
Palace Master Yao’s expression was frigid as she ordered, “Send a public response. If that Third Boss dares to come here, I will ensure that he never leaves my Bifrost Palace.”
Shui Hua was startled. “Are we going to war with the Grandverse Manor?”Palace Master Yao’s eyes flashed. “Their Third Boss just defeated Yu Shan and is riding high from that incident. I will target him alone, not involving Yuan Qi. If Yuan Qi arrives, we will simply leave.”
She was no fool. Despite her obsession with becoming a Seraph, she knew better than to provoke the Grandverse Manor. She was aware of just how difficult it was to deal with their experts.
Since the High Seraph had refused to take action, why should she step forward?
While their Third Boss was strong enough to defeat Yu Shan, Yu Shan was merely a sequence powerhouse, while Palace Master Yao was an Ortuser. This Third Boss was no match for her.
She would deal with the Third Boss and then use him to trade for Yu Shan. As for the Grandverse Manor, they had nothing to do with her, and she would be able to step back as soon as she succeeded.
This thought prompted a soft sigh. She turned to look outside the Bifrost Palace. If not for the uproar that these people had created, she might not have even responded to the Grandverse Manor. “Go find out where these people came from. I have a feeling that something’s not quite right.”
“Understood.”
In the Hundred Grasses Domain, Lu Yin let out a boisterous laugh. They had done it.
Palace Master Yao had publicly replied that, if Lu Yin had the courage to go to the Bifrost Palace, she would ensure that he would never leave.
Their ploys had worked. First, he sent people to build up some momentum for Palace Master Yao. After that, he had deliberately provoked her, knowing that the woman would not be able to endure such taunting. After all, Yuan Qi would not involve himself in this matter, and that had given Palace Master Yao the courage to face the Grandverse Manor.
Old Tao also laughed. “Congratulations, Third Boss! Congratulations!”
Lu Yin praised the old man, “Well done! This is how the Grandverse Manor’s Second Boss should be!”
Old Tao flattered Lu Yin again, but then expressed his concern, “While Palace Master Yao’s title as the strongest beneath the Seven Seraphs is related to the High Seraph, there’s no denying the woman is incredibly powerful. Her Bifrost Unscathed Sword alone is a peerless technique in the Spirit Nidus. Third Boss, you must be careful.”
Of course, Lu Yin was well aware of just how formidable an opponent Palace Master Yao was. He had struggled tremendously to capture her in the previous timeline, but that was only because he had not fully understood what she was capable of. At the moment, Lu Yin knew all about the woman; her sequence technique, her Spirit Weapon, and her battle techniques were well known to him. It would be easy to deal with the woman.
He left the Hundred Grasses Domain and headed towards the Bifrost Palace.
He openly left the Hundred Grasses Domain, moving rather arrogantly. Before leaving, he even made a bold declaration. “You say that I won’t leave the Bifrost Palace? I’ll see for myself what the greatest cultivator beneath the Seven Seraphs is actually capable of.”
In the Bifrost Palace, Palace Master Yao heard Lu Yin’s bold words and just sneered. He’s really coming. The man really believes himself invincible just because he defeated Yu Shan. I’ll show him just how terrifying the fourth ranked sequence technique, Absolute Reversal, can be.
He might not even be able to withstand my Bifrost Unscathed Sword.
The Bifrost Domain was not far from the Hundred Grasses Domain, which sat at the center of the Spirit Nidus’s thirty-six domains, which made it close to all the other domains.
Lu Yin only needed three days to make the trip.
More and more people gathered outside the Bifrost Palace, waiting for the show.
At the same time, Palace Master Yao’s supporters started shouting with greater excitement. Their voices had grown hoarse from their impassioned cheers.
Shui Hua had been looking into where these supporters of the Palace Master had come from, but she had not been able to find out anything at all. She needed more time.
The more time it took to get an answer, the more problematic the matter seemed to be. Shui Hua could not afford any carelessness.
Three days quickly passed, and Lu Yin soon arrived at the Bifrost Palace.
He looked ahead at the blue sea and blue sky. The two shimmered with various shades of azure. It was a truly beautiful location.
The Bifrost Palace was covered by a blue sky, and jade-green water flowed around it, filling the entire region. Anyone who wanted to force their way into the Bifrost Palace would be noticed and then welcomed by a Bifrost Unscathed Sword.
Outside the Bifrost Palace, everyone fell silent at Lu Yin’s arrival.
Lu Yin, had become quite famous in the Spirit Nidus as the Grandverse Manor’s Third Boss. His reputation had only grown after he defeated Yu Shan, which caused many women to curse him daily. This had only further fueled people's displeasure with the Grandverse Manor.
As Lu Yin slowly walked towards the Bifrost Palace, he showed no sign that he would stop. He raised a hand and pressed it down on the jade-green water, using his domineering strength to tear the sea apart. Sword qi appeared in front of him, slicing at him. He was being attacked by the Bifrost Unscathed Sword.
He casually dispersed the sword qi and called out, "Tell Palace Master Yao to come out. Does she think that she can bully the people of my Grandverse Manor?"
"Impudent!" Shui Hua cried angrily. She raised her hand and shot her Frostsoul at Lu Yin. It was her Spirit Weapon.
Shui Hua was a powerful sequence powerhouse, and in the Bifrost Palace, she was second only to Palace Master Yao.
Lu Yin raised a hand and grabbed the Frostsoul. It was extremely cold to the touch, to the point where even he felt a chill, but it was not enough to affect him.
There was a loud crack as the Frostsoul shattered.
Shui Hua spat out blood, shocked by the outcome. "So strong?"
With her Spirit Weapon destroyed, her strength had dropped precipitously.
She gritted her teeth and prepared to use her sequence technique, Divine Projection, to attack Lu Yin with her sequence particles.
Palace Master Yao stepped out of the void, her expression cold as she stared at Lu Yin. "Are you the Third Boss?"
Lu Yin casually flicked the fragments of the Frostsoul away before clasping his hands behind his back and meeting Palace Master Yao’s eyes. He made no attempt to hide his reaction and automatically praised her appearance, "What a beautiful woman! It’s no wonder you're known as one of the Absolute Duos of the Ascendant Hall. You're even a bit more beautiful than Cai Keqing. You… come with me to the Grandverse Manor to serve as my concubine."
Both inside and outside of the Bifrost Palace, countless people were stunned by this statement, but their silent shock was quickly followed by a storm of angry curses.
Even the bystanders were dumbfounded. Everyone knew that Palace Master Yao had some sort of connection with the High Seraph, even if no one knew the exact nature of their relationship. This Third Boss was vicious, attempting to take Palace Master Yao. He had even asked her to become a concubine! Not even the High Seraph treated the Palace Master so dismissively.
Yuan Qi had repeatedly provoked the Ascendant Hall and violated their edicts, but the Third Boss was directly antagonizing the High Seraph. The Grandverse Manor was genuinely going against the entire megaverse.
Shui Hua was enraged. "Impudent!"
Palace Master Yao's expression turned colder than ever. "You're seeking death."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, revealing slender fingers that were as beautiful as jade. With the light flick of a finger, the water that surrounded the Bifrost Palace transformed into sharp blades that attacked Lu Yin.
Endless streams of water fell upon him, each a Bifrost Unscathed Sword that Palace Master Yao had unleashed. Her sword strikes were flawless, and only death awaited those who faced them.
Lu Yin sneered. "Nothing but a trick."
His expression grew serious, and he suddenly vanished. He moved at the speed of time and instantly appeared right beside Palace Master Yao.
Her eyes shifted when Lu Yin appeared, and her hand sliced through the air while releasing green sword qi.
She could keep up with Lu Yin when he moved at the speed of time, but instead of defending, she had chosen to trade blow for blow, aiming to turn the tide of the fight with Absolute Reversal.
She did not know that Lu Yin already fully understood her sequence technique. Absolute Reversal could do nothing against him.
Lu Yin stretched out a hand and shattered the green sword qi while also settling his hand onto Palace Master Yao’s shoulder. He did not attack or hurt her, but she found that it was impossible for her to move.
Palace Master Yao’s heart dropped as she turned around to meet Lu Yin’s eyes, still in shock.
A smile spread across Lu Yin’s lips. "What's wrong? Can't use your Absolute Reversal anymore?"
Palace Master Yao could not believe the outcome of the fight. "You… know?"
If Lu Yin injured Palace Master Yao, her Absolute Reversal sequence particles would leave him with the exact same injuries. However, her spirit weapon, Bifrost, allowed her to restore her body no matter how grievous her wounds might be. She was never worried about suffering injuries.
This was what gave her the confidence that she was the strongest cultivator beneath the Seven Seraphs. It was why she saw herself as invincible.
However, Lu Yin was far stronger than Palace Master Yao, and he had also managed to instantly subdue her without even harming her.
The woman understood the gap between them. The irresistible strength in Lu Yin's hands made her feel as though she was facing a Seraph, or even the High Seraph himself.
It was all fake. Everything had been a lie. The Third Boss was clearly not any weaker than Yuan Qi, and he might even be stronger than the Seraph.
Palace Master Yao had already known that the Grandverse Manor was from the Tianyuan Megaverse, and she had also known about Lu Yin and his companions. However, she had been completely in the dark regarding just how strong Lu Yin truly was.
Out of everyone in the Spirit Nidus, the High Seraph alone understood Lu Yin’s strength.
Lu Yin was strong enough to exchange blows with the High Seraph, which was beyond the abilities of most of the Seven Seraphs.
Palace Master Yao was simply not on the same level.
All of the people both inside and outside the Bifrost Palace stared at the two in confusion. Neither of them had made another move after Lu Yin’s hand had fallen onto Palace Master Yao’s shoulder. What was going on? Had the woman already been defeated?
