The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 270 - 269 You Are the Divine Child (5th Update)
The Grand Shaman heard Lin Yun’s intent and after examining him for a moment, she nodded and said, "Release your divine power, let me have a look."
Lin Yun obediently did so.
In a short while, the Great Mist spread throughout the Divine Temple, except it couldn’t get close to the statue of Xuanwu.
Zhang Ling and the others were immediately amazed, no wonder the Snow Maiden trusted Lin Yun so much—it was because of this power. They were already the most elite warriors, and yet in this Great Mist, they still felt their senses obscured.
Only a god could possess such power.
"Take it back!"
Upon hearing the Grand Shaman’s command, Lin Yun quickly retracted the Great Mist.
Then, he looked at the Grand Shaman, seemingly with pure innocence, waiting for her appraisal.
The Grand Shaman, looking earnestly at Lin Yun, said seriously, "It is indeed the power of a god, you are the chosen one."
Lin Yun’s heart finally relaxed.
In reality, he had prepared for the worst-case scenario.
If this god truly could communicate and had made an adverse judgment, then Lin Yun would have had no choice but to let Little Gold perform Spatial Evasion.
The Spiritual Liquid he had been giving to Little Gold these past two days was unlimited, specifically so it could perform Spatial Evasion once more if needed.
And the worst-case scenario would have been being dealt with decisively, with no time for Spatial Evasion.
Fortunately, Lin Yun had gambled correctly.
Furthermore, the Grand Shaman even directly stated he was the chosen one.
This elevated his status tremendously within the Snow Mountain Divine Church, second only to the Snow Maiden and the Grand Shaman; it was as if he had been blessed by a true prophet with Gold Water, allowing him to roam freely from now on.
The Snow Maiden was not surprised at all; she had long felt a close connection with Lin Yun, and was confident he was her brother. Now with the shaman-priest’s confirmation, she felt completely at ease.
"Zhang Ling, do you have anything else to say now?"
The Snow Maiden was very displeased with Zhang Ling, doubting a person she had personally confirmed. If not for this, Lin Yun should have been undergoing the trials of the King’s Path by now.
"I am aware of my transgressions."
Zhang Ling, of course, readily admitted his mistake. With the Grand Shaman confirming Lin Yun’s identity, contesting it further would truly have gotten him buried.
"There’s no need for the Snow Maiden to be angry."
The Grand Shaman pleaded for Zhang Ling, and the Snow Maiden let him off, turning to the Grand Shaman and saying, "On this descent from the mountain, Wutulu’s actions were compromised, delaying our battle preparations. We all believe there’s an insider traitor. Please, Grand Shaman, help us find the insider."
The Grand Shaman reluctantly turned to the statue and bowed, murmuring a strange incantation.
Afterward, the chanting abruptly ceased. The Divine Temple fell silent for a long while before the Grand Shaman opened her mouth and said, "They are all innocent; everything is merely a coincidence. Those two women are the nemeses of the Snow Maiden, and you, are the nemesis of those two women."
The last sentence was directed at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was suddenly shocked; could it really be possible to communicate with a Divine Spirit?
Only Lin Yun knew that all of it was indeed coincidence; Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu’s appearance was purely for preparation for the great battle, striking the Grassland People first, teaching them a lesson and instilling fear, then quickly moving to the ultimate battle with the Demon Tribe.
After that confrontation, they would turn their attention to the Great Desert.
It just so happened that a few Grassland warriors had walked right into the line of fire at that time, and it was also when Lin Yu’s desire to kill was at its strongest, which resulted in consecutive setbacks for the Grassland People.
But before Lin Yun arrived, indeed there was no insider traitor within their team.
However, there was one now.
Another truth was that Lin Yun indeed was the nemesis of Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu; both women were completely suppressed by him.
Yet Lin Yun also had some confusion; if the Grand Shaman could really communicate with the Divine Spirit, why then did she get his identity wrong?
That is to say, even communication with a Divine Spirit had its limits.
But...
They’ve calculated the nemesis, but didn’t figure out that I am the nemesis of the Grassland?
Lin Yun had some doubts in his heart, yet he didn’t show them.
Upon hearing the Grand Shaman’s words, Huyan Jue and Zhang Ling both looked speechless.
After suspecting each other for so long, it turns out there was no insider traitor.
Just like that, they wasted so much time—What a joke!
Who was the first to say there was an insider traitor?
Everyone turned to look at Zhang Ling, because he was the first to challenge Lin Yun.
However, they overlooked that while Zhang Ling had doubted Lin Yun, it was Lin Yun who turned the tables, plunging them into a chain of suspicion.
But now, with the protection of the Snow Maiden and the Grand Shaman backing Lin Yun, no one doubted him.
In any case, they were all speechless, having caused such an embarrassing blunder.
The Snow Maiden glanced at Zhang Ling again. Since the Grand Shaman had said he wasn’t the insider traitor, he must be trustworthy. It was just a pity that the man was too conceited. If he hadn’t started the trouble, things might not have escalated to this point.
This time, his being tied up was well-deserved.
"Since that’s the case, let’s descend the mountain quickly and rush to the Mountain and Sea Pass."
The Snow Maiden was already impatient. Originally, she wasn’t required to partake in the war, but now that she was involved, she did not want to let go.
It was then that the Grand Shaman spoke, "Snow Maiden, hasn’t your power decreased significantly since you left the Snow Mountain?"
"Yes, Grand Shaman, if I were a bit closer to the Snow Mountain, even if Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu attacked me together, I would not fear them," she admitted.
The Snow Maiden obviously cared a lot about the two nemeses mentioned by the Grand Shaman.
"If that is the case, it would be better for you to stay on the mountain. You are the daughter of the Snow Mountain God, and it wouldn’t be good if a mortal were to harm you."
"You need not worry, Grand Shaman. This battle requires me, and besides, Ah Yun has not yet completed his journey as a King. I shall be his protector, so I must descend the mountain as well."
The term "protector" was long out of use in the Central Plains and the Grassland.
It generally meant assigning a top expert to protect a genius disciple until he could grow up, at least sparing him from one death.
But geniuses grown under such protection often had limited achievements, so the practice of having protectors gradually faded.
However, the Snow Maiden was unaware of these conventions. She had finally found a brother and naturally wanted to protect him well.
The Grand Shaman chuckled lightly and said, "Actually, you all misunderstood. The path of a King is not for him to become a king. It is a path that opens only after one has become a King. This is the guidance I just received. The path of a King has not yet opened. Divine Child, go and accept the baptism of the Snow Mountain first!"
Lin Yun: "..."
Is this really assigning me a father?
Lin Yun silently criticized in his heart; after all, Xuanwu was a turtle!
This "son of a turtle" title, Lin Yun really didn’t want to acknowledge, but now he didn’t dare deny it. Damn, bring me my Fangtian Huaji!
No longer questioning the Grand Shaman’s plans, the Snow Maiden addressed the warriors, "In that case, you must head down the mountain quickly to reinforce the Mountain and Sea Pass. Remember, no more risky maneuvers."
Wutulu and the others saluted and departed, while the Grand Shaman rose from his cushion.
"The baptism can begin now, the rest of you may leave first."
The other Shaman-Priests and the Snow Maiden left the Divine Temple, leaving only the Grand Shaman and Lin Yun.
When there was no one else in the Divine Temple, the Grand Shaman suddenly spoke, "You may take off your clothes now."
Lin Yun: "???"
What are you trying to do?
