The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 284 - 283: I’ll tell you a secret, don’t let it slip.
The standard outfit for a Shaman-Priest was a white robe and a veiled face; so much so that Lin Yun failed to recognize which Shaman-Priest it was.
But once the other party spoke, Lin Yun knew.
"The Grand Shaman summons the Divine Child to the Divine Temple."
"Oh, I understand. Did the Grand Shaman mention what it is about?"
Lin Yun took the opportunity to try to chat with this Shaman-Priest to see if he could gather some intelligence.
However, the person was rather cold and simply replied, "You will know when you see the Grand Shaman. Just follow me for now."
Thus, the Shaman-Priest led the way, no longer speaking.
Even Lin Yun, who was adept at communication, had no choice but to remain silent in such a situation; initiating further conversation would have only served to embarrass himself.
Are all the disciples of the Grand Shaman this taciturn?
Lin Yun inwardly criticized, and shortly after, they arrived at the Divine Temple.
Only the Grand Shaman was inside the temple; the Shaman-Priest who had led him there silently withdrew after bringing him to the temple.
"You’re here."
The Grand Shaman was kneeling before the deity statue, not turning around, and seemed very devout.
Lin Yun responded, and only then did the Grand Shaman stand up, turn around, and say, "Tomorrow you will descend the mountain with Snow Maiden. On this journey, I have several matters to entrust to you. Do not tell anyone, not even Snow Maiden."
"Please speak, Grand Shaman."
Lin Yun looked solemn, convincing the Grand Shaman he was a trustworthy person.
Of course, if the secret was valuable, Lin Yun would relay it to those in need the moment he got the chance.
"You must take Mountain and Sea Pass at any cost, but after its capture, remember not to cause any destruction. The most important thing is to control the other warriors."
Lin Yun nodded, then asked, "Why must we take the Mountain and Sea Pass? Does it hold some important strategic significance?"
He asked this question because he was the Divine Child, and theoretically, his status was even above the Grand Shaman’s, equal to that of Snow Maiden. Therefore, he didn’t need to be overly deferential; besides, he was still young, and it wasn’t wrong to inquire out of curiosity.
The Grand Shaman did not intend to hide anything from Lin Yun; after all, he was summoned here for a reason.
"This is related to an ancient legacy beneath Mountain and Sea Pass, and to a primordial sacred object. The outcome of this war will determine our victory or defeat against the Central Plains people. Should they obtain the legacy, we will never have another day of resurgence, and the glory of the Snow Mountain God will only be spread north of Dragon River."
Lin Yun was taken aback, listening intently. The Central Plains had such treasures? He had heard nothing of it and wondered if Dongfang Hongyue was aware. He must share this information once he descended the mountain.
"Why should Snow Maiden also be kept in the dark?"
"The fewer people that know of this matter, the better, to prevent any leaks."
The Grand Shaman entrusted Lin Yun very seriously, and Lin Yun then solemnly agreed, "Don’t worry, Grand Shaman. I will not let any information slip."
"I’m assured by your words. Snow Maiden, though her cultivation level is high, is too naive in the ways of the world. She was raised on Snow Mountain, unfamiliar with worldly affairs. If she were to command the army, it would likely lead to chaos. However, we can’t win this battle without her. Fortunately, you’re here; this is divine guidance. You’re bound to triumph in this battle."
"I will not fail the trust placed in me."
Lin Yun began to profess his loyalty, and the Grand Shaman took out a snow lotus and handed it to Lin Yun, saying, "This snow lotus is a rare treasure that might save your life one day. Take good care of it."
"Thank you, Grand Shaman."
This was the third snow lotus he had received.
Though a precious treasure, it seemed to be freely given away.
"Go and rest early."
Lin Yun nodded and left the Divine Temple.
The Grassland People all needed sleep, unless something extremely important was at hand.
This was probably because most of the Grassland People did not practice Divine Cultivation and focused on their physical bodies. To rest the Divine Soul, the best method was to sleep.
Unlike the Central Plains people who could substitute sleep with meditation and cultivation.
Lin Yun originally wanted to practice Divine Cultivation, but he couldn’t get into the right state, seemingly affected by the Snow Mountain Divine Power. Left with no alternative, he also lay down to sleep.
Before sleeping, he was still pondering how he should act when commanding the Eighteen Warriors in a full-force attack on Mountain and Sea Pass.
The Eighteen Warriors had lost four to Lin Yu before, but this time they had filled their ranks with four more. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Clearly, they had plenty of warriors.
No wonder, with the help of Snow Mountain Divine Power as a cheat, how could the diligently cultivating Central Plains people keep up?
Using cheats is really despicable!
Of course, having other pets or such to assist in cultivation doesn’t count as cheating.
Five of the Eighteen Warriors were on par with the Enlightened Realm, plus the Snow Maiden, that made six Enlightened Realm warriors, and the remaining thirteen were akin to the Celestial Knowing Realm. The strength of this legion was terrifying.
The Grand Shaman treated Mountain and Sea Pass with such importance that Lin Yun could only counteract it; he absolutely couldn’t allow the pass to fall into the hands of the Grassland People.
But how could such a formation lose?
He probably could only rely on jinxing them.
Lin Yun racked his brains all night and finally came up with a strategy that was passable, not foolproof, but the only tactic he could think of at the moment.
With a plan in mind, Lin Yun finally fell asleep.
The next morning, a maidservant came to help Lin Yun get up.
This was the first time Lin Yun enjoyed such treatment, as he was self-sufficient before; in the Shenxiao Sect, although he was the direct Disciple of the Sect Master, he did not have someone to tend to him personally.
It’s time to overthrow the decrepit politics of the Grassland!
The Snow Maiden was already prepared, she didn’t need much preparation, still wrapping herself up tightly as always. This time she was even more straightforward, as she had Fulong to carry things, and Lin Yun was full of envy.
The Grand Shaman did not come to see them off but let one of her disciples do it instead.
It was the same unfriendly Shaman-Priest from yesterday. Even though the shaman-priests wore nearly identical clothing and height made them indistinguishable, Lin Yun used his sensitive nose to pick out her scent.
"Sister, is it just the two of us traveling together this time?"
"Hmm, the other warriors will be led down the mountain by Yuan Ji, they’re going ahead to lead the charge."
Hearing this, Lin Yun felt uneasy.
At his normal pace, he would be a day slower than Yuan Ji’s group in reaching the battlefield. One day was enough time for too many things to happen.
"Then let’s hurry on our way too, so as not to make them wait too long."
Lin Yun even considered using the Lightning Motion Technique all the way to the battlefield; the toll would be great, but within his limits to bear.
"No need to worry, this time I’ll have Snowstep carry you. You won’t be slower than them."
"Thank you for that, Sister."
The Snow Maiden called over Snowstep, who seemed overjoyed at first, but upon seeing Lin Yun, even her horse face seemed to display a colorful array of emotions.
"Snowstep seems pretty happy."
Lin Yun went forward to pat Snowstep’s head, and though his hand did not flash with lightning, Snowstep was still fearful and obediently kept still.
"Snowstep seems to really like you. Why not, I might as well give her to you!"
Snowstep’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.
She didn’t want to be humiliated by this electrifying man, yet her own master...
It’s like—
"Princess Snow, Divine Child, this is the token from the Grand Shaman for you."
The taciturn Shaman-Priest spoke up timely, drawing the attention of Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden, so much so that no one noticed Snowstep’s tears.
Lin Yun reached out to take the token, but he felt a delicate finger tracing a circle in his palm.
"?"
Are you trying to flirt with me, little Shaman-Priest?
