Chapter 1347: Black Street

Zuocheng Daynight’s appearance had stopped the dance performance for a bit, but everything quickly returned to normal.

This was not the first time such an incident had occurred on Earth, and although Luo Shen had met with danger before, it was always taken care of.

Lu Yin had hidden his features as soon as he had appeared in the stadium. Since no one could see him clearly, there was no commotion for him.

***

There were not many people in a leisurely cafe, as everyone was closer to the stadium. Although it was impossible for most people to enter the stadium to watch Luo Shen’s dance, there was a screen outside the stadium that was streaming the entire performance.

Gentle music filled the cafe.

Jiang Chen took the straw out of his mouth and twirled it around his fingers. He looked out at the distant screen outside the stadium showing Luo Shen dancing. It was impossible to know his thoughts.

Sitting across from him, Lu Yin asked, “Do you like Luo Shen a lot?”

Jiang Chen replied in a casual manner, “It’s not that. It’s just that I need to find a wife. My mom’s really putting the pressure on me.”

“So you want to marry her?” Lu Yin asked.

Jiang Chen shifted his gaze away from the screen and looked at Lu Yin. “Maybe. Why? You have someone you want to introduce me to?”

Lu Yin was left speechless, and he did not know how to continue the conversation.

Jiang Chen took a sip of coffee. “Speaking of which, it must feel good to drink coffee while looking at your own statue and seeing so many people kneeling down and praying.”

Lu Yin looked into the distance where a huge statue stood. It shot high up into the clouds. It was a statue of him. Many cities on Earth had similar statues, as had many planets throughout Frostwave Weave.

It actually felt quite strange to see people bow to his statue, and it always gave Lu Yin the illusion that he had died.

“Your lighting is very powerful. Is it an innate gift?” Lu Yin asked.

Jiang Chen stirred his coffee. “Ah, that’s right, I have a rather powerful dad, but you’re pretty good yourself. Especially your transformation during the last battle of ZENITH.” As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at Lu Yin with bright eyes. “You looked really cool during that transformation; how did you cultivate that?”

Lu Yin shook his head. “I don’t really know. It just worked out that way.”

Jiang Chen clearly did not believe Lu Yin’s words, but he did not bring up many questions related to battle techniques.

He suddenly remembered something. “Hey, have you ever seen a rabbit that has a lightning power?”

Lu Yin was startled. “Have you seen it?”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips. “I asked you.”

Lu Yin nodded. “I saw it once. It was a long time ago on Savage Ape Planet. That rabbit just showed up and instantly stomped a giant ape to death. It later appeared in Ironblood Weave, and it stepped on Elder Lohar.”

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin. “That damn rabbit can really run. Still, it won’t go too far from Earth.”

“Are you looking for that rabbit?” Lu Yin wondered.

Jiang Chen nodded. “Yes. Make sure you let me know if you hear anything about it. I’ll be staying on Earth for now.”

Lu Yin asked, “Are you staying on Earth to wait for that rabbit?”

Jiang Chen snorted. “That’s most of it. That rabbit has to be caught, or else it will cause trouble everywhere.”

“Then why stay on Earth? Maybe the rabbit already ran away.”

“Impossible. That damn rabbit won’t roam too far from Earth. At most it will roam about the Outerverse, but it won’t leave home.”

“What kind of power level does that rabbit have?”

Jiang Chen thought for a while. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Lu Yin felt this was odd. Jiang Chen did not know such a fundamental detail, and yet still dared to try to catch the rabbit.

Jiang Chen was frustrated. “There are countless parallel dimensions in the universe, and time can pass differently in them. It’s possible that the rabbit entered a pocket dimension and stayed there for 18,000 years, or maybe it hasn’t improved at all. Who knows.”

“It’s not that easy to enter a parallel space, right?” Lu Yin did not believe this to be true.

Jiang Chen wagged a finger. “That’s for you. That rabbit once fought against my father, and it’s able to travel through parallel dimensions. This is why it has to be caught, as otherwise it will become a scourge in the future.”

That rabbit already is a scourge for Elder Lohar, Lu Yin said to himself.

“Brother Jiang, do you know anything about Jupiter?” Lu Yin suddenly asked as he staring into Jiang Chen’s eyes.

Jiang Chen felt confused. “Jupiter?”

He tipped his head back to look up at the sky and past it into space. He looked at the massive planet. “That’s just an ordinary planet. Why do you care about it?”

Lu Yin’s eyes grew sharp. “That’s not a normal planet; I can’t enter it.”

Lu Yin had been suspicious that Jiang Chen was a member of the Hidden Earth Society, and so he had brought up Jupiter to test Jian Chen.

Jiang Chen instantly became interested. “Not even you can get in there? You’re not messing with me? It’s just a planet.”

Lu Yin frowned. There was nothing unusual about Jiang Chen’s reaction, and it seemed that he really did not know anything. Was it possible that he really had no connection with the Hidden Earth Society?

“I really can’t get in that planet. Brother Jiang, would you like to go check it out with me? We still have a bit before Luo Shen’s dance ends,” Lu Yin offered.

Jiang Chen nodded. “Okay. It was getting boring anyway. Let’s go have some fun.”

Lu Yin took a deep look at Jiang Chen. Either this person really did have nothing to do with the Hidden Earth Society, or his acting skills were too good.

No matter which it was, this was not someone Lu Yin could just ignore. He was young, but his strength was terrifying.

The two quickly left Earth and stepped into space, making their way towards the observation station orbiting Jupiter.

***

There was a piece of forgotten land in the Neoverse that was called Dark World. It was also known as Black Street. This place was the Neoverse’s landfill. Every day, untold amounts of trash was sent to this place. Some would be recycled, while the rest would be processed. The garbage delivered to this place not only consisted of trash from everyday life and cultivation, but also included living creatures, such as humans and astral beasts.

Black Street was rarely brought up in the Neoverse, as though even the mention of the place was gross. It was filled with the underbelly of the Neoverse, and the people who lived in this place were all in hiding.

There was a light and a dark to all things, and the southern border of the Neoverse was the darkest region of the Neoverse. This was where the Seven Courts could be found, as well as Black Street. There were many people who were not willing to see the shadows cast by the light, but this was a place that was a refuge for the dark side of the universe.

When people tossed their trash, many no longer thought of it, but trash often held bits of information.

In Black Street, there were people who specialized in processing the information that could be gleaned from refuse, and they easily extracted information that was useful to them.

Although the place was a dump, because of the recycling efforts and the information gathered from the refuse, Black Street was not a small place. The truth was that many people were very cautious of Black Street.

Azure Mansion was one of Black Street’s businesses.

It was ironic that a business that attracted the major powers of the Neoverse and which gathered beautiful women was actually something that came from a dump.

The master of Black Street was actually Bu Laoweng, one of the Hall of Honor’s nine overseers.

Many people were concerned about Bu Laoweng, as many organizations had their interests represented by this old man, and their interests were also tied in with Black Street.

At this particular moment, Bu Laoweng was lying on the ground and his entire body was trembling. His skin had become loose, and his hair was going gray. There was a terrible fear and remorse in his eyes.

Tian Shao lay to the old man’s side. The young man looked to be in a coma, but it was impossible to know if he was dead or alive.

Thump, thump, thump

Bu Laoweng picked up his head, and something caught his eye. It was a beautiful woman. She had white hair, and she was staring at the old man with cold eyes. “It’s been a long time, Mr. Overseer.”

Bu Laoweng stared at the woman. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse, “You gave me Vitality Poison!”

The woman was Ming Yan, and she was currently the white-haired personality. “Mr. Overseer knows it very well.”

Bu Laoweng did not respond, and instead just stared at the woman for a moment before angrily shouting, “Why is the Neohuman Alliance treating me like this? I’ve always been loyal to the Neohuman Alliance, and I even risked my life to find the location of that place and have left my name on Aeterna! I’m yours! You shouldn’t attack me!”

The white-haired Ming Yan stared down at Bu Laoweng from high above. Tian Shao’s protector had been the one who had brought Bu Laoweng to Ming Yan and had poisoned him. The Vitality Poison was something that surpassed power level, and even Tian Shao’s guardian who had a power level of more than 400,000 had been poisoned, so there was no need to mention Bu Laoweng.

At first, all that Ming Yan had wanted was to gain control of Black Street and then offer it to Lu Yin. She had not expected to uncover something so important: Bu Laoweng was actually a member of the Neohuman Alliance, a traitor to the Hall of Honor. He was one of the Hall of Honor’s nine overseers, and held such a high position that even experts with power levels of more than a million had to show him respect.

The value of Ming Yan’s gift was growing greater and greater. She was greatly anticipating giving it to Lu Yin. She could not even imagine his reaction.

However, she also felt a sense of urgency. Bu Laoweng was part of the Neohuman Alliance, which meant that he was able to contact the Neohuman Alliance. Vitality Poison was something that had been made by the Neohuman Alliance.

The more she thought about this, the more urgency she felt. Ming Yan stared at Bu Laoweng with cold eyes, then slowly said, “I was ordered to take control of Black Street. You have become worthless.”

Bu Laoweng gasped and stared at Ming Yan. “I don’t believe it! I’m an overseer of the Hall of Honor; how can that be worthless?”

Ming Yan replied coldly, “You’ve already lost to Lu Yin, so what value could you hold? Your hypocrisy has already been exposed, so you won’t receive any useful information in the future.”

“I don’t believe you! I want to speak with Aeternus! Give me back my gadget! I want to speak with Mr. Feng.” Bu Laoweng struggled to move.

Ming Yan’s eyes flashed, but she took out the man’s gadget and threw it to him.

Bu Laoweng quickly activated the device and accessed a secret network. Suddenly, his gadget was seized back by Ming Yan.

Ming Yan stared at the what Bu Laoweng had accessed. Out of the various people he had previously called, there was one who was the so-called Mr. Feng.

“What are you doing?” Bu Laoweng roared. “I have information to share with Mr. Feng. As long as he hears what I have to say, he will definitely save me! I’m still valuable! Let me call Mr. Feng!”

Ming Yan frowned and stared at the names of the people the overseer had contacted. There was a note attached to each and every name. Among them, Mr. Feng was listed as the housekeeper, while the others had their own notes. Almost all of them were the names of places she had never heard of, but her eyes narrowed when she saw one name: Aru. The note attached to this name was ‘Jupiter.’

Jupiter, Jupiter, This was a name she had heard before. One time when Lu Yin had been speaking to her he had mentioned a place called Earth, and he had also mentioned other planets in the same system. One of those planets had been named Jupiter. This might be a coincidence, as Jupiter was not too rare of a name for a planet in the universe.

She pointed to Aru’s name and carefully said, “How dare you contact him?”

Bu Laoweng’s eyes grew stern. “That was at Mr. Feng’s order. Once Lu Yin returns to Earth, he-“

He suddenly stopped speaking and stared at Ming Yan. The old man suddenly shouted, “You’re not from the Neohuman Alliance!”

Ming Yan had already confirmed that this Jupiter was the same Jupiter that was close to Earth, and this meant that there were people from the Neohuman Alliance there. This was bad. She had to inform Lu Yin immediately.
