In the Eternal Kingdom, Lu Yin took out Supreme Mountain and released He Ran.
He Ran looked around but couldn't tell where she was.
"Who are you, exactly?" He Ran asked, looking at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin returned to his original appearance. "Lu Yin, of the Heavenly Sect."
He Ran's eyes widened. The moment she'd been captured, she'd guessed at Lu Yin's identity, but she'd never imagined he was Lu Yin. "You're the Daoist of the Heavenly Sect in Primeval Space—the Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin smiled. "It's been a long time, Sister Ran."
He Ran laughed—a self-mocking, somewhat bitter laugh. She understood now. Zi Jing had let herself be captured and taken to Over Space-Time on purpose, all to bring this man there. The Six Directions Meeting had been manipulated by him from the very beginning.
And they'd looked down on Primeval Space the whole time, convinced that the Heavenly Sect was nothing but a frog in a well. She'd never given that Lu Yin a second thought, yet he'd been standing right in front of her all along, fooling her over and over.
How many people in the Six Directions Meeting had he fooled? How many of them were Extreme Experts?
She remembered the things she'd said and done in front of him. How ridiculous her former superiority had been. She'd thought he was the fool, but she was the one who'd been foolish.
Scene after scene from the past flashed through her mind. The more she thought about them, the redder her face grew, and the more hatred filled her gaze as she looked at Lu Yin.
