CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 216: THE MASTERMIND EMERGES! SUBSPACE BATTLE!

Earlier, when Su Yu attended the meeting for the first time, Xiao Shengyin gave Su Yu a lot of knowledge and information about Transcendents and Subspace.

But there was no mention of the Subspace Domain.

In other words, Xiao Shengyin "held back some information."

In fact, Su Yu still doesn’t know anything about the Subspace Domain.

He’s still perplexed and doesn’t know what’s happening right now.

What’s going on with this Subspace fissure and that city? How did they come about?

However, with Su Yu’s intelligence and being involved in the situation, he was only confused for a moment before quickly deducing the reason and understanding everything.

"So, at the eight-star level, one will have such a Domain Space in Subspace?"

"Is my Domain Space this city?"

"The Temple Space of the previous City Lord of Heavenly Punishment City served this purpose, right?"

"And the castle hall for Chairman Xiao’s meetings is also such a domain?"

Su Yu thought quickly and figured it out in an instant.

In fact, he had always been curious about how that meeting hall worked.

Being able to establish such a safe and stable meeting place in the chaotic Subspace is not easy.

Su Yu had long reached the seven-star level, but he didn’t have such an ability.

But now, with a domain of his own, Su Yu has come to understand.

The meeting hall was actually Xiao Shengyin’s Subspace Domain.

"So, Xiao Shengyin secretly withheld information about the Subspace Domain..."

...

At this moment, Xiao Shengyin began to feel regret.

If he had known Su Yu was so capable, why would he have kept information back, making himself seem stingy?

"At the time, it was because Mr. Su Yu was coming to my Domain Space for the meeting."

"So I hid details about the domain to avoid revealing my weaknesses to him..."

Xiao Shengyin reflected inwardly.

The reason he withheld information was primarily to guard against Su Yu.

After all, the meeting was to be held in his domain, so he had to be cautious.

But just when he thought of this, Xiao Shengyin suddenly found something was amiss.

"Wait a minute, if I was wary of Mr. Su Yu, I shouldn’t have let him into my domain at all!"

"He shouldn’t have been allowed to attend the meeting!"

"Merely not telling him about the Subspace Domain—what kind of precaution is that? What’s the point?"

"And even if initially wary, after resolving the misunderstanding, I could have told him."

"Why didn’t I ever mention it?"

"What’s going on? How could I have made such a big oversight?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Shengyin felt a chill in his heart.

He realized that there’s something wrong with him intentionally withholding information!

His thoughts and memories seemed to have been interfered with by something!

...

In the material world, Su Yu continued to ponder.

"Why didn’t Chairman Xiao inform me about the Subspace Domain in the materials he provided me earlier?"

"Was he guarding against me?"

"But I can move freely in his Domain Space. What sense does this kind of precaution make?"

"There’s something wrong here..."

Su Yu, ever-perceptive, immediately identified the issue.

Such matters could have many explanations, like Xiao Shengyin forgetting, or perhaps he was just stingy and didn’t want to tell Su Yu.

But Su Yu instinctively felt it wasn’t that simple.

Especially when there’s a certain hidden mastermind lurking in the dark, plotting against the entire Transcendent Union.

"Could it be that Chairman Xiao Shengyin is the mastermind behind it all?"

"Is his withholding of domain information related to his secret?"

Su Yu speculated in his mind.

At this moment, a mutation occurred!

In Subspace, the meeting hall suddenly underwent a drastic change.

What was a bright hall suddenly turned incredibly dim.

The surrounding walls turned dark red and changed material.

The walls became flesh, constantly wriggling.

The entire meeting hall seemed to transform into some biological organ, turning sinister, bizarre, and terrifying.

"What’s happening?"

"Chairman! Chairman!"

The crowd was immediately frightened.

As they exclaimed in shock, they looked toward Xiao Shengyin.

But they found that facing such a mutation, Xiao Shengyin was stunned in place.

His eyes were devoid of any life, as if he’d become a wooden sculpture.

The others were terrified; the strongest chairman had quietly fallen into a trap.

What exactly happened?

"Not good! Run!"

They immediately focused their minds, preparing to leave this place and return to reality.

With the trait of Subspace, they only needed to recall the coordinates, and they would instantly move, escaping with incredible speed.

However, their figures only blurred for a moment, then became clear again, still standing in place without returning to reality.

At the same time, they felt their thinking speed beginning to slow down, and even their memories started becoming blurry.

"Not... good..."

"We can’t escape!"

"It turns out that the mastermind had been hidden in this meeting hall all along..."

Only then did they realize, the mastermind plotting against them and treating all their members as sacrifices was...

not somewhere else, but had been lurking in this meeting hall the entire time.

Or rather, the entire meeting hall was the mastermind.

This Subspace Domain belonging to Xiao Shengyin, at some point, had already been controlled by this terrifying mastermind!

But, it was too late for them to realize this.

Moments later, everyone in the meeting hall turned into something akin to wooden sculptures, frozen in place.

Even their real-world bodies became lethargic, seemingly about to turn into wooden sculptures as well.

On the walls of the meeting hall, countless dark red eyes suddenly opened within the flesh.

These eyes squinted simultaneously, as if they were laughing.
