Divine Emperor Demon Emperor
Chapter 52: Ye Yunlong’s Dominance
For the next few days, Lin Yun spent his days studying the Disguise Technique and his nights chatting and drinking with the Imprisoned Dragon Young Master.
"You’ve succeeded with the Disguise Technique?" Imprisoned Dragon asked in surprise, holding a list Lin Yun had handed him. It detailed all the items needed for a disguise.
It had taken him a long time to master this Disguise Technique after obtaining it, yet Lin Yun had learned it in just a few days.
Hearing this, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "More or less. Can you help me get these things?"
Nodding slightly, Imprisoned Dragon muttered under his breath, ’What a freak.’
Lin Yun could only give a helpless smile. With his Dual Cultivation Technique, the Disguise Technique was practically tailor-made for him. His smile faded as he asked, "The two great powers must be getting suspicious of the Shelter by now, right?"
"Heh, they wouldn’t dare make a move on the Death Row Shelter. Even the Yanhuang Royal Family is a piece of cake for the Death Row Shelter," Imprisoned Dragon said confidently.
Taking a sip of wine, Lin Yun reflected on the Death Row Shelter’s power. While the organization as a whole wasn’t interested in his inheritance, Ye Yunlong personally was extremely eager.
’After all, even if the Thunder God Hall still existed, it would be no match for the Death Row Shelter. But if they knew what I really obtained was the Flawless Flesh Body from the Flawless Palace, every major power in the entire Eastern Domain would probably be in an uproar.’
Regardless, Lin Yun had already formulated a few plans for dealing with both the two great powers and the Death Row Shelter.
"Sigh... Have you thought about where you’ll go? I’m afraid you can’t stay in Yanhuang Country or Nan Feng Kingdom anymore," Imprisoned Dragon asked during their casual chat.
With a slight smile, Lin Yun revealed he already had a plan. "I’m going to Yanhuang Academy."
Hearing this, a shocked Imprisoned Dragon looked at Lin Yun. "Are you crazy? The entire Yanhuang Academy has a warrant out for you, and you’re going to walk right into their hands to die?"
Seeing Imprisoned Dragon’s confusion, Lin Yun explained, "As they say, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, my parents are still in the Capital City. I can’t just run away and leave them."
"Do you have any idea that Primordial Ocean Realm experts are after you? If you’re discovered, there’s no escape," Imprisoned Dragon said worriedly after hearing his explanation.
"I know. But with the Disguise Technique, I’m confident they won’t find me that easily."
Since Lin Yun was insistent, there was nothing Imprisoned Dragon could do. With the Disguise Technique, the chances of Lin Yun being discovered were indeed much lower.
Imprisoned Dragon was highly efficient, delivering the items Lin Yun requested the very next day. In the Mysterious City, you could buy almost anything as long as you had the money.
Lin Yun ran an experiment on himself. Disguised as an old man, he deliberately strolled around in front of Imprisoned Dragon. Imprisoned Dragon didn’t recognize him until Lin Yun revealed himself.
"Not bad. Your Disguise Technique has reached Great Success. Even I didn’t recognize you," Imprisoned Dragon said, looking at the old man before him.
Lin Yun smiled, quite satisfied. With the Disguise Technique, he could transform into someone else and enter Yanhuang Academy.
Lin Yun had thought through the decision to enter the Academy carefully. Firstly, he would be in a better position to learn about his parents’ situation. Secondly, there were many benefits to entering the Academy stealthily.
With the identity of an Academy student, no one would suspect him. Furthermore, Lin Yun could use the Academy’s resources to grow stronger quickly.
Compared to an Academy student, a Loose Cultivator had a much harder time growing, and it took far too long. Lin Yun couldn’t afford to wait.
As long as he didn’t slip up, Lin Yun was confident that entering the Academy was his best option. After all, no one would ever expect him to willingly enter the Academy and become one of its members.
While Lin Yun and Imprisoned Dragon were testing the Disguise Technique, Ye Yunlong was single-handedly confronting the two great powers who had come to his door.
"Ye Yunlong, Lin Yun is a fugitive wanted by the Royal Family. You must hand him over," a middle-aged man from Yanhuang Academy declared, facing Ye Yunlong.
The group that had arrived this time included not only the two great powers but also Iron Blood and the Blood Refining Ancestor. They were an aggressive, menacing contingent.
But facing this crowd, Ye Yunlong’s expression was relaxed. With a backer as powerful as the Death Row Shelter, he wouldn’t fear even the Yanhuang Royal Family.
"Insolent! Is my Death Row Shelter a place where you can come and shout?" Looking at the man who had just spoken, Ye Yunlong nonchalantly sent out a slap. A hand formed from Elemental Power instantly sent the man flying.
Being only at the Qi Sea Realm, the man had no power to fight back against Ye Yunlong.
After swatting the man away, Ye Yunlong turned his gaze to Iron Blood and the Blood Refining Ancestor. They were the only two Primordial Ocean Realm experts present.
"Iron Blood, Blood Refining Ancestor, I, Ye Yunlong, have already told you that Lin Yun is not here. Do you intend to force your way into my Death Row Shelter?" Ye Yunlong said coldly.
At his words, the expressions of Iron Blood and the Blood Refining Ancestor turned ugly. It wouldn’t be difficult to destroy the Death Row Shelter in the Mysterious City, but it would be pointless.
Both of them knew this place was just an empty shell. No one knew where the Death Row Shelter’s assassins were. They could be Martial Artists running a street stall, a Shopkeeper in some medicine shop, or perhaps even one of their own subordinates.
In short, this place was just a facade. If the two of them joined forces, they could destroy it in minutes, but afterward, they would face the endless pursuit of the Death Row Shelter.
The two hesitated. As Primordial Ocean Realm experts, they naturally knew how powerful the Death Row Shelter was. It was a notorious organization throughout the entire Eastern Domain, one that had even assassinated other Primordial Ocean Realm experts.
The most terrifying thing about the Death Row Shelter was its secrecy. While everyone knew where its branches were located, no one knew the location of its headquarters. Moreover, all the branches were merely empty shells that only accepted missions; they housed no assassins. The assassins were all hidden in the shadows.
A power had once destroyed a Death Row Shelter branch, but aside from the branch manager, someone like Ye Yunlong, it was completely empty.
But in the aftermath, within just three days, that power was utterly destroyed by the Death Row Shelter. Half of its disciples were slaughtered, all of its Elders were annihilated, and the body of its Sect Leader was hung in the Sect’s public square.
After that lesson, no power dared to rashly make a move against the Death Row Shelter again. After all, if you destroyed one of their branches, you didn’t actually kill anyone of importance, yet everyone knew of the Death Row Shelter’s viciousness.
"Ye Yunlong, the inheritance Lin Yun carries is of no use to your Death Row Shelter. Why don’t you just hand him over?" Iron Blood said, still unwilling to give up.
Indeed, as a powerful force in the Eastern Domain, the Death Row Shelter naturally looked down on the inheritance of the Thunder God Hall.
"Hmph, of course I look down on the Thunder God Hall’s inheritance. But Lin Yun is truly not here. I’ll say this one last time: if you retreat now, I can pretend none of this ever happened," Ye Yunlong replied, his tone as forceful as ever.
Hearing this, the faces of both Iron Blood and the Blood Refining Ancestor turned ashen. With a cold snort, they turned and flew away. With the two Primordial Ocean Realm experts gone, the people from Yanhuang Academy and the Wind Forest Sect naturally followed.
