The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 318 - 317 Calming Sea Pearl

Yuan Zidan fought the most absurd battle, originally thinking he was about to go 1v4, only to find they seemed to be on the verge of internal conflict.

And wasn’t this guy going too far, getting involved with two women at the same time?

Yuan Zidan was genuinely envious.

"Are you going to fight or not? If not, stand down; if yes, then come and face me in a duel."

Let it be clear, it’s a duel.

Lin Yun’s eyes lit up. Good brother, you’ve saved me once again. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In gratitude for your life-saving grace, I’ll give you a dignified way to die when we fight in the future.

"My friend, I see you’ve come from afar, all alone, without any support. It’s really not nice for us to gang up on you. So how about you just give up? Take your Sea King’s Trident, call for reinforcements, what do you say? Look, Mountain and Sea Pass isn’t something one person can take down by himself. Just forget it!"

Lin Yun began to try to persuade him to surrender, and Yuan Zidan agreed, seeing the logic in it.

Though he wielded the Divine Artifact and considered himself unbeatable in a duel, these people weren’t willing to face him one-on-one.

True descendants of the three kings, always preferring to fight with numbers on their side.

"Alone I may not be sufficient, but in the sea, there are myriad Sea Beasts. With the Sea King’s Trident in hand, I can command all the Sea Beasts under heaven, and none dare defy. I advise you to surrender quickly—and hand over the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"

Yuan Zidan proudly spoke of the might of the Sea King’s Trident, but noticed Lin Yun’s covetous little gaze, and silently gripped the Trident a bit tighter.

This guy, is he eyeing my trident again?

"Only those of the Yuan Clan’s bloodline can use the Sea King’s Trident, so stop dreaming. Give me the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I won’t make things difficult for you."

In the end, he still wanted the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but how could Lin Yun possibly give it back to him?

Have you ever seen a thief return what they’ve stolen?

Unless they get caught.

Uh, ’theft’ might not be the most appropriate term.

It should be said that this object was fated to be mine; otherwise, why couldn’t I have snatched the Sea King’s Trident?

If I had managed to snatch it, we would surely have some destined connection!

"So, there’s no room for negotiation?"

Lin Yun casually twirled his spear, his mind no longer on Yuan Zidan’s situation but rather on how to slip away.

"Do you really not fear? You should know that if I weren’t concerned for the civilians here, I would have already used sea waves to bring down Mountain and Sea Pass. Once the Demon Beasts of the sea start their massacre, there’s nothing you could do to stop them. Don’t test my patience any longer!"

Yuan Zidan planted his Trident, and the sea waves rose higher and higher.

His demeanor quite resembled that of the Dragon King flooding Chen Tang Pass.

Yuan Zidan, a proper cultivator, would not wantonly kill.

It didn’t matter how many cultivators were killed in the skirmish, but harming innocent civilians would not only damage his reputation but also bring karmic retribution.

However, if Mountain and Sea Pass insisted on resisting, then nobody could blame him for taking harsh action.

Lin Yu shivered at his words. Indeed, the Demon Beasts in the sea were troublesome. Though she had settled her fight with the Rainbow Crow without a scratch, it was only because she didn’t dare let it touch her at all. If it found an opportunity, even she would be in danger.

With her level of cultivation, she had to put forth her full effort, and it would be even more difficult for others in Mountain and Sea Pass.

The sea held countless treasures, yet few cultivators dared to venture out, precisely because of such dangers.

Currently, their fight seemed to have the upper hand, yet they lacked the power to kill Yuan Zidan. Now isolated, Yuan Zidan had to consider the civilians of Mountain and Sea Pass.

To surrender without a fight would only embolden the enemy, yet to fight meant worrying about a surprise attack from the Grassland People. The situation was indeed quite dire.

Yuan Zidan used the lives of thousands of civilians as his bargaining chip, which was indeed a headache.

Lin Yun had an idea and took out the Dao of the Book Immortal, "Old man, what do we do in this situation? Got any ideas?"

Lin Yun actually wanted to figure it out himself, but since the Book Immortal was there, he might as well ask.

Yuan Zidan was shocked to see Lin Yun pull out a bamboo slip, followed by the appearance of the Book Immortal. Damn, who is this person that even the Book Immortal is at his beck and call?

Moreover, from Lin Yun’s demeanor, he had no respect for the Book Immortal, who had fallen to such a low state.

Hey, serves him right!

That’s what you get for being a smartass.

Yuan Zidan felt a surge of satisfaction, yet discreetly took the opportunity to collect the Rainbow Crow while no one was paying attention.

Though it had lost all eight legs, tentacles could regenerate, needing only some blood food, and in the sea, would blood food be scarce?

At that moment, no one noticed a strand of hair absorbing the severed tentacles, which after a while, switched to another piece.

The tentacles looked the same as before, but if you pressed on them, you’d find that what once was firm flesh had turned into ground meat.

The Great Mist created by Lin Yun served as the perfect cover, with no one paying attention to this detail.

Dongfang Hongyue also flew out from the Mountain and Sea Pass at this time. Although she knew that the Great Mist was a spell cast by Lin Yun, she still had to pay attention to how the battle was going; Yuheng and the others went to defend against the Snow Maiden.

The battle on both sides was so intense that there was no room for any negligence.

In the midst of the white fog, as Lin Yun summoned him, the Book Immortal slowly appeared and said, "The Sea King’s Trident is a divine artifact of royal power, capable of commanding the four seas, summoning wind and rain, controlling sea beasts, and it also has seventy-two battle techniques which are quite powerful. Combined with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this is why Sea-King ranks first among the four kings."

Yuan Zidan’s face turned green. Old man, can you not spill all my secrets?

"There is another divine object in the world named the Calming Sea Pearl, which can calm the winds and stabilize the four seas. The Pearl is divided into twenty-four segments, arranged in formation, to open up a Secret Realm. This item can also specifically counter the Sea King’s Trident and the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which Sea-King once owned as well."

When Yuan Zidan heard this, his heart sank, and then he felt a bit relieved. Fortunately, he had known his nemesis in advance. As long as he searched secretly and gained control of this object, he wouldn’t have to fear...

Yuan Zidan had not finished his thoughts when he saw a sky-blue pearl appear in Lin Yun’s hand.

This was delivered by Xiao Qing and Little Gold, who had to combine their spatial powers to send out the Calming Sea Pearl, as it was quite special, possessing the power of space, requiring both Xiao Qing and Little Gold to work together.

"Let me try, I just have to recite the incantation..."

Lin Yun said, holding the Calming Sea Pearl and shouted, "Calm Seas and Subdue Waves!"

At his command, the waves summoned by Yuan Zidan receded on cue, and the sea beasts he had secretly called forth, as if encountering something terrifying, fled in panic with the tides.

Yuan Zidan: "..."

He realized that his true nemesis was not the Calming Sea Pearl at all, but Lin Yun himself.

Why are you everywhere?

Yuan Zidan remembered the poem about his ancestor and suddenly understood that it was about the three treasures of the Sea-King. Even Dragon Blood couldn’t be considered a treasure.

But now, he had only gotten his hands on the Sea King’s Trident, and the most important Calming Sea Pearl had been taken by Lin Yun.

How infuriating!

"A gentleman’s revenge, ten years is not too late. I will definitely come back!"

Yuan Zidan was not foolish. With the Calming Sea Pearl in Lin Yun’s hands, he couldn’t beat so many people joining forces. It was better to retreat now rather than reveal all his trump cards and still lose.

His escape was rapid, turning into a spray of water and vanishing from sight.

"With this Calming Sea Pearl, we don’t have to fear his invasion anymore. Yue’er, I give this treasure to you."

Lin Yun casually tossed the Calming Sea Pearl to Dongfang Hongyue. He had already decided to go undercover, naturally departing for the Grassland. Without him there, and if Yuan Zidan attacked again, without the Calming Sea Pearl, it would be hard to withstand the power of the Sea King’s Trident.

Besides, the Flower Fairy had a Divine Artifact, Lin Yu had the White Tiger Spirit, but Dongfang Hongyue only had a curse; Lin Yun also wanted to give her a treasure to defend herself.

Seeing Lin Yun call her so affectionately, Dongfang Hongyue was initially a bit shy, but after noticing the looks from the Flower Fairy and Lin Yu, she accepted the Calming Sea Pearl with a sense of pride.

Lin Yun, in front of so many people, giving her the Calming Sea Pearl, was this not hinting at her position as the main consort? Of course, she couldn’t refuse the pearl.

However, she didn’t realize that this was one of Lin Yun’s tactics.

Seeing that the harem was about to explode, it was useless to run away now; it would be better to calmly choose the most favored one, letting the others compete for affection. The benefits of this were to shatter their alliance, making them view each other with hostility, so they could no longer unite in their hatred against him.

I am so clever!

However, although Lin Yun’s thoughts were good, once the Calming Sea Pearl reached Dongfang Hongyue’s hands, it trembled incessantly. Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t hold it, and her hand slipped. Lin Yun quickly caught the Calming Sea Pearl again.

"The Calming Sea Pearl is a divine object, and divine objects only grow close to those with virtue. Her sins are too heavy to become the master of a divine object," said the Book Immortal, revealing why Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t grasp the Calming Sea Pearl. Her gaze dimmed, she forced a smile and said, "You keep it, I’m fine."

Dongfang Hongyue suddenly realized why she always left treasure mountains empty-handed; she had no fate with all good things.

Lin Yun gave the Book Immortal a cold look. This old man really knew how to anger people. Although what he said was true, he was still annoying.

"You say that divine objects have a spirit, right? So, tell me, if it doesn’t obey, what if I destroy it? Will it dare to disobey then?"

Lin Yun spoke, and his hand ignited with golden flames, roasting the Calming Sea Pearl.

"Since when did a mere pearl dare to bully my Yue’er!"

Seeing Lin Yun seriously intending to burn the Calming Sea Pearl, Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy felt a bit sour, while Dongfang Hongyue felt warm inside but quickly sought to stop Lin Yun.

"Don’t be impulsive, this treasure is for countering the Sea King’s Trident. If you burn it, what will we do if Yuan Zidan attacks again?"

Lin Yun responded with a light smile, "Don’t worry. Yuan Zidan came from an unknown place, and after this defeat, he will surely go back home for reinforcements. He probably won’t attack for a while. If he does come back, he will bring enough experts, and by then, having the Calming Sea Pearl would be useless; it might as well be burned."

Lin Yun’s analysis made sense, but this was not a reason to destroy a divine object!

But his determination might have intimidated the Calming Sea Pearl, which released a pale blue light and flickered. Lin Yun felt it submit, so he stopped.

Passing the Calming Sea Pearl to Dongfang Hongyue again, the pearl settled down and behaved obediently.

"Old man, did you see that? Don’t talk about divine objects being for those with virtue anymore. If you upset Yue’er again, I will burn you along with it!"

Book Immortal: "..."

How can this person be like a tyrant? Is there anyone who can come and punish him?
