“If something is really wrong with the Longevity Tribe, then there are even more reasons why they wouldn’t speak out easily like that, especially to the point of making a fake video to frame me and saying that I blackmailed them. This lie can be exposed too easily. If I attended the meeting myself and confronted them, their lie would be exposed directly, which would be equivalent to them revealing their ident.i.ty as spies.”
“Although there’s nothing to like about the Longevity Tribe, I don’t really believe that their entire tribe belongs to the Black Abyss,” Lin Huang provided his own hypothesis.
“If what you said is the truth and that someone is framing the Longevity Tribe on purpose, then it’d be even harder to get to the bottom of things.” Xia Bing frowned slightly.
“So what happened after you guys argued? What else did they talk about?” Lin Huang continued to ask.
“Later on, those few people from the Longevity Tribe and I were asked to leave the meeting room. Before they find out whether something is wrong with White Brow, we can no longer partic.i.p.ate in future meetings,” Xia Bing said while looking annoyed.
“There’s nothing… wrong with handling it this way,” Lin Huang mumbled softly.
However, as soon as he said those words, he saw Xia Bing glaring angrily at him in the projection.
He explained immediately, “What I meant is that they’re being pretty fair.”
Xia Bing harrumphed. “I’m clean anyway, so I’m not afraid of them. Let them go ahead and investigate me!”
Lin Huang fell into silence for a long time, after which he could not help but ask, “How can they investigate? Are they going to trigger the Abyssal energy by reading their memories?”
“You’re overthinking things. How is it possible that such a method exists?!” Xia Bing shook her head and explained in all seriousness,” Star Cl.u.s.ter’s Star Masters went over to summon the Great Void Mirror.”
“The Great Void Mirror treasure?” Lin Huang was stunned when he heard the name. He retrieved the related memories within the Origin Energy fragments from the Nirvana Trees. “This thing really exists?!”
Legend had it that the Great Void Mirror was a treasure that contained terrifying power.
Lin Huang had always thought that it was only a legend. Never had he thought that it really existed.
“The Great Void Mirror has always existed, but it has been in hibernation during this era.” Xia Bing nodded. “Only Dominators who surpa.s.s heavenly dao-level can use this treasure normally. It’d be too taxing for a heavenly dao-level powerhouse to use it by force. Not only that, the treasure will enter hibernation after each usage.”
“What’s the function of the Great Void Mirror? Can it tell the truth?” Lin Huang asked rather curiously.
“The Great Void Mirror’s innate function is to study all things. To put it simply, it can see the nature of all substances. Not only that, its probing range extends to anywhere in the entire universe, including all of the great worlds, mini worlds, gravel worlds, ancillary dimensions and planes within the universe.
“It will fail to study things under three conditions. The first is if its target is a dominator-level powerhouse. The second would be the target has a barrier-type treasure of the same level. The third would be that the target is in a dominator-level powerhouse’s Kingdom.”
“Star Cl.u.s.ter would definitely not only investigate me and the people from the Longevity Tribe when using the Great Void Mirror. They will probably investigate you too. I think you definitely can’t hide your ident.i.ty any longer.”
Xia Bing gave a simple explanation of the uses of the Great Void Mirror and reminded Lin Huang about what was likely to happen as well.
Lin Huang raised his brows slightly beneath his mask.
In reality, judging by what Xia Bing said, he was not exactly worried that his real ident.i.ty would be exposed. The reason being was that the G.o.d Weapons in his body were treasures as well.
Especially that Soul Weapon, blocking G.o.d’s soul was just one of its basic functions.
He did not think that the Great Void Mirror’s probing could penetrate the barrier effect of the Soul Weapon in his body.
Naturally, he could not say that to Xia Bing. He merely fell into a period of momentary silence before speaking again, “If they can investigate me, then there’s nothing that I can do. However, if they do find out my real ident.i.ty, they’d find out that I’m not a member of the Black Abyss.”
“The entire Eastern Eight Zone is in chaos right now. All the organizations are overwhelmed now. Even if they really found out your ident.i.ty, as long as you’re not a.s.sociated with the Black Abyss, n.o.body will have the time to stir up trouble with you,” Xia Bing comforted him.
“Indeed, the regular members of the seven organizations are busy. However, if my real ident.i.ty is exposed to the Black Abyss or the Raiders, it’s only a matter of time before they come looking for me,” Lin Huang voiced his concern after hearing what Xia Bing had said.
She thought for a moment and soon spoke again, “I’ll speak to the Star Master later. If they really find out your ident.i.ty, they won’t expose it. As long as they confirm that there’s nothing wrong with your status, there’s no need to reveal your information to other people.”
“Thanks,” Lin Huang thanked her with a nod.
The two of them chatted for a little bit more and ended the video call after scheduling another call a week later to learn about how the situation would develop.
…
Three days later, four Star Masters, three male and one female, gathered at the Stargazing Pavilion.
The four of them locked eyes, and the lady in the black dress asked, “Are you guys ready?”
The three men nodded slightly.
“Then let’s act as planned. I’ll stand guard and the three of you will summon the Great Void Mirror.”
The lady appeared above the Stargazing Pavilion’s rooftop in a flash directly as soon as she was done speaking. She waved and set up a starlight barrier to envelop the entire Stargazing Pavilion within.
Almost at the same time she moved, the three men sat with their legs crossed and performed several complicated hand seals.
At that moment, the entire Stargazing Pavilion seemed to have fallen into a magical state. It began to s.h.i.+mmer, appearing partly hidden and partly visible at the same time.
A moment later, the Stargazing Pavilion that was some 1,000 meters tall suddenly vanished into thin air.
The female Star Master was the only person remaining, as she hovered in the air with her eyes somewhat closed. She seemed to not find the situation strange at all.
Meanwhile, the vanished Stargazing Pavilion appeared in a dazzling sky full of stars in another dimension.
The Star Cl.u.s.ter’s three Star Masters sat in a triangle at the center of the first floor of the Stargazing Pavilion. They had completed their hand seals.
A quaint bronze mirror formed slowly mid-air between the three Star Masters.
The three of them then transferred Odylic Force to the bronze mirror through the air.
About half an hour later, the bronze mirror had finally consolidated completely.
A voice as loud as a bell spread throughout the entire Stargazing Pavilion.
“Tell me, who or what do you want to find out to have woken me up this time?”
Among the three Star Masters, the one who was the most muscular spoke first, “Senior Great Void, there’s an organization called the Black Abyss that appeared in our Eastern Eight Zone recently. They seem to be Aza’s followers. They planted many spies within all of the organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone. We’d like to ask you to check on a few people to see if they’re spies or not.”
“Who are they?” The bell-like voice did not seem to bother asking for further details and went straight to the heart of the matter.
Another Star Master said nothing, but projected images of Xia Bing, the patriarch and the few deputy patriarchs from the Longevity Tribe, as well as the remaining leaders from the seven organizations. The last image who was projected was Lin Huang in his mask and white robe.
Merely a moment later, a white light shone on Lin Huang’s image projection. The bell-like voice spoke in a rather upset manner, “I cannot find out who this person is.”
The three Star Masters were stunned when they heard that, and they could tell from the Great Void Mirror’s tone that it was upset. Nevertheless, they dared not ask why it could not find out Lin Huang’s ident.i.ty.
About two to three minutes later, three glaring red gleams shone on three projections.
A gush of faint black mist gradually appeared on the top of their heads.
“The three of them have high-grade Abyssal energy remaining in their bodies.”
After saying that, the bronze mirror that was hovering in the air faded away rapidly.
