The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 275 - 274 Gun King

After giving Little Gold a lecture, Lin Yun arrived at the entrance of the cave.

There were several ice cones at the entrance, and Lin Yun had no choice but to use his hands to break them off.

The Golden Spear he had forged earlier, along with the death of the Ice Man, had dissipated into a force of Strengthened Kidney Water. Lin Yun had felt it was a pity, but later...

Please, bring on more!

Without a weapon, Lin Yun could only rely on his own physical strength.

There were seven ice cones in total. If Lin Yun wanted to enter the cave, he had to crawl in, and naturally, he couldn’t stand for that.

Do you think you can block my way with mere ice cones?

As soon as Lin Yun touched them, he felt a bone-chilling cold.

His hands and feet were really freezing, Lin Yun leaped up and threw a punch...

"Damn, why is it so hard!"

Lin Yun was impressed; after enhancing his strength, he’d often felt invincible, but after being taught a lesson by the Ice Giants, he now found himself unable to deal with even the ice cones.

"I’ve fought Ice Giants, and now I’m scared of an ice cone?"

Punch after punch, Lin Yun finally managed to break one off.

The ice cone broke off cleanly at the root and fell to the ground without shattering, extremely hard.

"This could actually be used as a weapon."

The ice cone was tough enough to withstand several of his punches, and its hardness was decent—at least it was better than being empty-handed.

Using the ice cone, Lin Yun knocked down another one and tested them by tapping them together. They were quite sturdy but still a bit too cold to hold.

Lin Yun then gathered Spiritual Power in his hands and the fire that condensed was just enough to make the two ice cones glow red. The cave was very dark and the glow provided some much-needed light.

The entrance was now big enough for a person to go through, and Lin Yun, not bothering to knock down all the cones, squeezed his way in.

Walking through the cave for quite a while, Lin Yun could feel it was meandering upwards. He remained on his guard, unsure if there were any monsters within. The only sound in the cave was his footsteps, and Lin Yun felt oddly tense.

It would be nice to have a couple of ghosts jump out and scare me right about now!

Unfortunately, Lin Yun was doomed to be disappointed. There wasn’t even a ghost’s shadow in the cave, let alone any Snow Lotuses.

As he explored deeper into the cave, Lin Yun smelled a faint odor that made him feel uneasy.

Hmm?

Is there danger? Should I slip away first?

The first thought that came to Lin Yun’s mind was to run, but remembering that he’d already killed the Ice Giant guarding the entrance, he puffed up with confidence again.

I can do this!

Lin Yun didn’t retreat but became even more cautious.

Suddenly, the space ahead opened up considerably. Not only that, Lin Yun saw a corpse leaning against the wall.

Lin Yun immediately stopped in his tracks, wary that the corpse might spring back to life; better safe than sorry.

Approaching the body cautiously with his fire lit—it was particularly effective against evil spirits—he wasn’t worried about any zombie mummies.

The corpse was a man who looked rather handsome, with white hair and beard, but his face did not seem much different from that of a young man.

Upon closer inspection, there were some characters next to his fingers.

The same type of writing as on the Snow Mountain Temple plaque, which fortunately Lin Yun recognized.

"Zhang Jingwu died sealing a demon, not failing the name of the Northern Spear King."

That was all it said, simple, yet heavy with information.

To die sealing a demon meant that this place was the sealing site of some Great Demon, right?

Seal sites were the last thing Lin Yun wanted to encounter.

Especially after getting the Moon Water Spirit Pearl, Lin Yun felt even more that such places were tricky, not to mention his trip to the Dragon Tomb that made him really want to complain. Can’t you just kill the person?

Do you have to keep them locked up? Doesn’t that just make people uncomfortable?

Of course, Lin Yun was just venting, seeing how this fellow was already dead. If he really had the capability, he probably wouldn’t have just ended up sealed away.

Lin Yun had previously guessed that this place might not be the Snow Lotus Cave. Damn it, he had indeed taken the wrong path.

And within that sentence, what caught Lin Yun’s attention the most were the words "Northern Spear King."

Back in the Dragon Tomb, Qiuping once mentioned King Pingxi, King of Zhennan, Sea-King, Northern Spear King.

Well, this should be the Northern region, right?

This corpse, could it be the Northern Spear King?

Lin Yun felt a sudden joy of archaeological success.

So, King Pingxi sealed the Demon Dragon, and this Northern Spear King... who knows what he sealed, probably at least something on the level of the Demon Dragon, considering the Northern Spear King and King Pingxi were of the same level.

So then...

Better not mess with it, time to slip away. Quick, retreat.

Lin Yun cursed silently and turned to leave.

I just took a wrong turn and ended up at a sealing site, this really is crystal clear planning.

"Young man, hold on a moment."

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Yun immediately felt unsettled; he knew leaving wouldn’t be so easy.

"Who might you be?"

"I am Zhang Jingwu."

Lin Yun didn’t know exactly where the voice was coming from; in this narrow space, coupled with the echoes, it was hard for Lin Yun to judge.

Hearing him say he was Zhang Jingwu, the fire in Lin Yun’s hand burned even more intensely.

As expected, coming back to life.

"Senior, what are your instructions?"

Lin Yun realized the other party was speaking the Central Plains dialect, so he responded in kind.

"I have been waiting here for tens of thousands of years; you are the first to arrive at this place."

Seeing that the other party seemed willing to chat, Lin Yun had a flash of inspiration and said, "Tens of thousands of years? There’s no sight of the sun and moon, nor the passage of day and night here; how do you know it’s been tens of thousands of years? To be more specific, how many tens of thousands of years has it been?"

"..."

"I have my own ways of sensing time."

"Oh, then may I ask, Senior, have these years been very boring? How did you endure it? I’m someone who fears boredom. Would you mind sharing some insights?"

"..."

Perhaps having never encountered someone as adept at bullshitting as Lin Yun, the voice fell silent for a while before speaking again, "My time is running short, you need to listen to me. Back when the Demon Race appeared in this world, I drove them to this place, sealed and slaughtered them, and perished here. The inheritance of the Spear King lies here. For many years, my only concern has been the discontinuation of the inheritance. You are the first fated person to come here; I think..."

"Senior need not worry anymore. The Spear King’s inheritance is indeed gone; I have not heard of any Spear King nowadays."

"..."

The other party fell silent again, this time the silence lasted a bit longer.

Eventually, Lin Yun heard the voice again.

"Even if the heirs of the Spear King are no longer around, I do not wish for the ultimate skills I possess to gather dust in this place. Young man, since you have come here, perhaps the Spear King’s inheritance is fated to be yours. Take it with you."

"Alright, where exactly is the inheritance?"

When it was mentioned there was a treasure, Lin Yun showed a smile, seemingly very happy.

"Walk ten more steps forward, and you will see it. The inheritance of the Spear King lies within the spear."

Lin Yun followed the instructions, taking nine steps, arriving just at the edge of the words left behind by Zhang Jingwu.

One more step forward, and he would see the so-called inheritance.

Lin Yun lifted his foot, about to step forward, but then suddenly spoke up, "Senior, something just occurred to me. Didn’t you perish after sealing the demon? How’s the demon doing now?"
