The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 242 - 241 New Tribe on the Grassland

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Yun was immediately filled with rage.

He had seen such plots in books often, but encountering them in reality was a completely different, jarring experience.

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Yun realized that the women were not of sound mind, appearing as if they were poisoned.

Lin Yun had no other detoxification methods at this moment, so he could only resort to his Electrotherapy Technique.

A flash of gold light, and the women inside the tent began convulsing all over. Watching this scene, Green Snake felt a sense of deja vu and a bad memory surged to her mind. She couldn’t help but glance at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun’s expression remained unchanged, pretending as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, two men entered the tent, baring their upper bodies. Without a word, they drew their knives and lunged at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was already irate, and thus he showed no mercy. With a single punch for each, he killed them instantly.

These two were mere mortals.

The Great Mist provided cover, so no one outside the tent could hear the commotion within.

Lin Yun paid no attention to the bodies. By now, the women inside the tent were waking up—six in total. The first to awaken saw Lin Yun; at first, she looked terrified, but on noticing Lin Yun’s attire and that he was clearly from the Central Plains, she burst into tears of joy and asked, "Immortal, have you come to rescue us?"

Lin Yun nodded. Although he was merely passing by, he felt obliged to try and help now that he had come across them.

"Where are you from, and when were you captured?" he asked.

"To answer the Immortal, we are from the inside of Mountain and River Pass. A few days ago, desert bandits crossed the river to invade, ravaging several villages. Our elders perished at the bandits’ hands, and the women were all taken and sold like cattle.

Today we were transported here. Once night falls, we would have been violated by those barbarians."

"It’s true that in any world, barbarians are devoid of humanity," Lin Yun mused.

At this point, recalling the history from his original world, Lin Yun felt a surge of murderous intent.

However, his arrival was timely. From what the woman said, they had been treated as goods and had not been violated before this.

Lin Yun didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask if anything had happened and simply said, "Don’t worry. Now that I am here, I will take you back. But you must follow my orders in everything."

Having said that, Lin Yun picked up the great knife and said to Green Snake, "You stay here and protect them. We’re going to kill the enemy."

Bai Jiaojiao: "..."

What happened to not killing civilians during a war between two nations?

Under the cover of the Great Mist, a small tribe on the grasslands was annihilated just like that.

Before eradicating them, Lin Yun had invaded the consciousness of a mortal and learned the language of the Great Desert.

The overwhelming power a cultivator has over mortals was just that easy and simple, and the challenge of language was nothing to a cultivator.

Lin Yun changed into the clothes of the grassland people and had the rescued women mount the horses of the small tribe while saying, "From now on, pretend you are captives from my Great Mist Tribe. Bai Jiaojiao, you will be a warrior of the Great Mist Tribe, and we are a new tribe!"

Green Snake spoke up, "What about me?"

"Anyone with cultivation could tell you’re not human at a glance, so you’ll be my mount," Lin Yun replied.

Green Snake: "..."

She thought of Bai Jiaojiao being used as a mount and her face turned pale.

She certainly didn’t want to be ridden like that!

But with Bai Jiaojiao so obedient to Lin Yun’s words, she found herself unable to defy his order and, feeling humiliated, she nodded and said, "I understand."

Lin Yun: "???"

Is being a mount really that humiliating? I thought you were like your king!

Bai Jiaojiao would be more than happy for Lin Yun to get close to her.

Bai Jiaojiao was very fond of the aura emanating from Lin Yun’s body. She hadn’t understood why until, after their Divine Souls had connected, she suddenly realized that Lin Yun might possess the bloodline of a dragon—a high-ranking one, perhaps even a Dragon King. With that realization, her affinity for him made sense.

Furthermore, she was a female dragon and Lin Yun a male dragon. It was quite normal for a female dragon to enjoy closeness with a male dragon, wasn’t it?

After assigning positions and taking care of various matters, Lin Yun led the tribe’s warriors on a campaign to the north.

From the information Lin Yun had just gathered, he knew that the Formation spanning Dragon River had likely been established not long ago, likely as a response to the Desert Bandits’ sudden raid a few days prior, forcing the Central Plains People to create such a defensive line to ensure the Grassland People could not cross the river and wreak havoc.

As a result, Lin Yun had arrived just a bit too late and found himself trapped on this side of Dragon River.

He was used to such misfortune by now; he had become quite the unlucky fellow.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, he thought. Not only did he have to find his own way back, but he also had to bring his fellow tribespeople with him.

Mountain and River Pass was already a show of force—aside from the large numbers of mortal troops, there were cultivators amounting to one-tenth of the army.

This was the largest force the Central Plains could muster.

Due to the incident involving Daoist Master Huang Long, there were no longer any restraints between the Demon Tribe and the Human Race in the south; both sides had begun to clash with all their might, with a large number of Human Cultivators rushing to the south.

The Seven Great Sects were conscripted for the war, while other sects joined voluntarily.

In this time of peril, the Desert Bandits brazenly launched an attack, clearly having been coveting their chance for some time.

But the Human Race was not unprepared; they had already set up defenses at Mountain and River Pass.

Alas, the battle line along Dragon River was simply too long. With an insufficient number of Central Plains People, they still let the Grassland People slip through, crossing Dragon River to pillage and slaughter.

By the time support arrived, several villages had already been ruthlessly plundered. In a fury, Taiqing Daoist Temple, together with representatives of the Righteous Path, activated the Grand defensive array, Town River, using the sect’s inherited Immortal Artifact, the Taiyi Sword, as the focal point of the Formation, and dispatched Yuquan there to hold the line.

Despite temporarily resolving the crisis, there was still an air of instability in the Central Plains.

Facing the Demon Tribe or the Desert Bandits alone, the Central Plains held absolute dominance, but when confronted with both at once, they found themselves struggling to cope.

Watching the formation of tens of thousands of Grassland barbarians below Mountain and River Pass, Yuquan’s heart was filled with concern.

He wondered whether they would be able to withstand this battle.

The pressure at Mountain and River Pass was comparatively smaller, as there were the natural barriers of Boundary Mountain and Dragon River, coupled with the strategic stronghold, they were in a good position for defense; the Grassland People would definitely not be able to break through.

But Mountain and Sea Pass was different.

To the east of Boundary Mountain lay the plains, and Mountain and Sea Pass was established on these plains. It took slight advantage of Boundary Mountain’s treacherous terrain, but the area was predominantly flat land, which greatly suited the battle style of the Grassland People.

"Disciple Yuquan, Shenxiao Sect’s reinforcements have arrived," said Zhenren. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Yuquan, who was mulling over whether his older fellow disciple’s prophecy was reliable, received the message from Zhenren.

Somewhat bewildered, Yuquan replied, "Why would reinforcements come here? Wouldn’t it be better to send support to Mountain and Sea Pass?"

"I do not know," replied the Disciple.

"Then go call them over. How many reinforcements have arrived?"

"One," said Zhenren, a bit embarrassed.

Yuquan: "..."

You call one person reinforcements?

Nevermind, common courtesy dictates to meet them.

"Fine, let’s meet him. Go invite him over," Yuquan said with some resignation, unable to dishonor the Shenxiao Sect.

"There’s no need for an invitation, Shenxiao Sect’s Lin Yu at your service, Daoist Master," said a voice.
