Chapter 1023: Starlight Cuffs
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Luo Yunyang felt a lot more at ease when he stepped into Human Race territory once again. He even seemed a little happy.
Even though he had very quickly obtained a high position within the Mysterious Underworld Race and was amongst those that could decide the fate of the Mysterious Underworld Race, he really wasn’t that interested in all these things.
Now, re-entering the Human Race’s territory made Luo Yunyang feel carefree.
Even though he hadn’t been gone for too long, he felt very excited about his return this time.
He wondered if his child had already been born. It probably shouldn’t have. Even though his movements in the Mysterious Underworld Race had been quick, it hadn’t even been a year yet.
Given his and Yunxi’s cultivation base, bringing a child into this world would definitely take a longer time.
While these thoughts were going through his mind, Luo Yunyang started to contact the Middle Hall Master. Even though his cultivation base had progressed significantly while he had been in the Mysterious Underworld Race, he still had to report to the Middle Hall Master upon his return to the Human Race.
In the past, Luo Yunyang had not had any method of contacting the Middle Hall Master. However, upon entering the Mysterious Underworld Race, he had obtained the right to contact the Middle Hall Master directly.
Eh!
No reply from the Middle Hall Master? This made Luo Yunyang frown. According to his understanding of the Middle Hall Master, such a thing was unlikely to happen.
After all, according to what the Middle Hall Master had said, he would surely have a clone reply even if he was in seclusion.
Luo Yunyang kept contacting him!
He continued using the communication device to contact the Middle Hall Master. However, after three tries, there was still no response from the Middle Hall Master.
The Middle Hall Master wasn’t at Hong Meng Sacred Hall. Or rather, he wasn’t in the domain of the Human Race. As Luo Yunyang was full of doubt, he thought about Yuan Venerate White Crane.
In Hong Meng Sacred Hall, Luo Yunyang’s relationship with Yuan Venerate White Crane was the best. If the Middle Hall Master couldn’t be contacted, then Yuan Venerate White Crane would be next.
Yuan Venerate White Crane’s communication device connected straight away. The Yuan Venerate sounded very surprised. “Luo Yunyang, you have really returned.”
Luo Yunyang chuckled. “Yes, I have. Why? It seems as if I’m not very welcome.”
Yuan Venerate White Crane immediately replied, “I naturally welcome your return.”
Luo Yunyang could sense a hint of difference in Yuan Venerate White Crane’s voice. Even though this difference wasn’t big, Luo Yunyang could still perceive that things definitely weren’t as simple as he’d’ thought.
However, he had obtained great advantages in the Mysterious Underworld Race and his cultivation base had experienced a massive improvement. He was currently flushed with success so he didn’t really pay much attention to Yuan Venerate White Crane’s tone.
“Why am I unable to contact the Middle Hall Master?” Luo Yunyang asked.
Yuan Venerate White Crane pondered this for a moment before continuing to speak. “The Middle Hall Master has gone to investigate the primal chaotic region fabled to have been left behind by a supreme existence. He has been gone for half a year and hasn’t returned yet.”
He was investigating a primal chaotic region? This was the first time Luo Yunyang had heard of such a thing. The Three Era Supreme Technique he cultivated actually made him feel a little uneasy.
The Middle Hall Master’s cultivation was already at the peak of the Taichu Yuan Venerate, and he had always been searching for a way to break through. However, this sort of breakthrough wasn’t easy.
Even an entity like the Middle Hall Master had to search for many opportunities while trying to break through these restraints.
“In that case, let me know when the Middle Hall Master returns. I will contact him again then.” Luo Yunyang knew that seeking out opportunities wasn’t something easy. It certainly required quite some time.
Plus, entities like the Middle Hall Master didn’t really care about the flow of time and naturally wouldn’t notice how long they had been away.
“Alright.” Yuan Venerate White Crane paused for a moment and then said, “Yunyang, can you tell me exactly what sort of mission you went to carry out?”
Luo Yunyang chuckled. Since this mission was already complete, there was no need to keep it that confidential. Furthermore, Yuan Venerate White Crane was someone he could trust.
“The Middle Hall Master sent me on a trip to the Mysterious Underworld Race to aid the hidden Almighties that have infiltrated the Mysterious Underworld Race and disrupt the inheritance of the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord. However, the location where I was supposed to be received was discovered after I entered.”
“I didn’t contact those people. Instead, I hid away in the Mysterious Underworld Race for some time and found a way to incite internal strife. Afterward, I found a wormhole and escaped back.”
Even though Luo Yunyang felt that Yuan Venerate White Crane wouldn’t betray the Human Race, the clone embodiment of Nalanye was too important.
As a deputy hall master of Sky Martial Underworld Hall and an entity not inferior to any underworld hall master, one could say that Luo Yunyang’s clone embodiment of Nalanye was already an important figure in the Mysterious Underworld Race.
It would be a great pity if this sort of existence was exposed.
Furthermore, Luo Yunyang had a vague idea. Nalanye and the subordinates cultivating the God Sky Conversion Technique would all add to his personal combat strength.
“Are you saying that your trip was wasted?” Yuan Venerate paused for a moment. “Yunyang, there is no rush for you to return to Hong Meng Sacred Hall. How about you find a place to rest and cultivate for some time and wait for the Middle Hall Master’s return?”
If Luo Yunyang hadn’t been bothered by Yuan Venerate White Crane’s words at the beginning, he certainly sensed that something was wrong now.
Could something he didn’t know have happened in his absence?
With that thought in mind, Luo Yunyang immediately flew in the direction of the Longlin Great Cosmos. At the same time, he started to contact Yunxi and the others.
They were uncontactable!
This made Luo Yunyang have a really bad feeling. He used the spatial nodes within his internal universe to immediately arrive at the heart of the Longlin Great Cosmos.
When Luo Yunyang’s spiritual consciousness enveloped the entire Longlin Great Cosmos, some familiar auras were detected.
Luo Yunyang heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed these auras. No matter what had happened, his family was still fine.
He immediately rushed toward his home. However, as he was shooting over, a voice rang out in the void. “Luo Yunyang, we have something to ask you.”
Then, a group appeared. Even though there weren’t that many people in this group, the stern intent coming from them was actually terrifying.
Luo Yunyang frowned when he saw them. His gaze was fixed on the Yuan Venerate in the light blue robes.
This Yuan Venerate’s cultivation base was at the mid-stage Taishi Yuan Venerate. He had the appearance of a man in his thirties and looked like some sort of deity.
Even though this was the first time he was seeing this person, Luo Yunyang knew that this was Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow, who presided over the law and punishment bureau of Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
Although he knew that Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow and his party didn’t seem kind, Luo Yunyang still clasped his fist and greeted him. “Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow, may I know what you are seeking me out for?”
“This isn’t the place to talk. Luo Yunyang, come with me.” Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow glanced at Luo Yunyang with a stern look as he spoke.
While Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow said this, two peak Universe-Grade subordinates stepped forward. They held cuffs that radiated with boundless starlight. It was obvious that these were cuffs used to suppress the users of mystic abilities.
Luo Yunyang watched those two coldly. It could be said that he had earned great merit upon his return from the Mysterious Underworld Race. Even though he wasn’t ready to reveal his contributions, he was extremely unhappy to be greeted with handcuffs upon his return.
“Luo Yunyang, give yourself up!” one of the Universe-Grade powerhouses shouted.
Luo Yunyang didn’t recognize this person. However, based on his expression, he could tell that this fellow was enjoying himself.
A person who lost power and influence would be subjected to a lot of indignity. This saying applied to Luo Yunyang in this situation!
Without any hesitation, Luo Yunyang gave a resounding slap to the man who had spoken and said haughtily, “Scram!”
Even though a slap wouldn’t shatter that man’s cultivation base, he was momentarily stunned by Luo Yunyang’s actions!
He was a deacon of the law and punishment bureau and he had accompanied Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow to detain many powerhouses. He was accustomed to being lofty when detaining people.
Unfortunately, he had just received a resounding slap. A slap that had nearly made all his teeth fall out. Such a slap was so humiliating that he felt that he would have no face to stay in the law and punishment bureau.
“You… You actually dare hit me? You… impudent man!” That man was livid.
Suddenly, yet any slap landed on his face. Even though Luo Yunyang didn’t move, his methods were extensive so he had slapped that man’s face really easily. Even Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow couldn’t react in time.
“Breathe another word of b*llshit and I will obliterate your spiritual consciousness!” Luo Yunyang said in disdain.
Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow glared at Luo Yunyang. Even though he wasn’t the one being hit, seeing someone slapping his subordinate in front of him had pissed him off greatly.
“Luo Yunyang, the nerve of you!”
Luo Yunyang glared coldly at the livid Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow. He had been really displeased from the moment he had seen Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow.
“Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow, I’m not overstepping my boundaries. You overestimated yourself by trying to detain me!” Luo Yunyang said icily.
