The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 605 - 113: Accident?
Lin Yun had never thought he would find himself in such a nonsensical situation.
Walking along peacefully, suddenly there was a thunderous noise from the sky, which split apart. Bai Jiaojiao reacted the fastest, shielding them with her body from the shockwave. Immediately afterward, Lin Yun reacted, without any time to hesitate, he cast the Divine Spell: Reach the Sky, absorbing the damage into himself to bear it.
The Green Snake—now she should be called the Azure Dragon—took the third wave of damage upon herself.
Two dragons and one man took turns bearing the brunt of that shockwave, all of them sustaining severe injuries.
If it had been borne by any one of them alone, regardless of who it was, it would be hard to escape the fate of instant death, even Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t withstand it.
She bore the initial and most powerful shock, and now she was not much better off than Lin Yun, but she barely managed to transform into her human form and helped Lin Yun to his feet.
The Green Snake’s injuries were relatively lighter; she was assisting Bai Jiaojiao. Seeing Bai Jiaojiao’s dress stained red with blood caused her great concern as well.
Xiao Qing hastily cast a healing spell on Lin Yun, and Lin Yun took out several Snow Lotus Petals from the Demon Summoning Well. After biting into one himself, his condition stabilized slightly.
He had really been worried that he would have died on the spot.
Although he had always had a premonition that he might die an untimely death one day, he did not wish to perish so casually, dying in such a way was too similar to those eunuch novels he had read in the past, where the author couldn’t continue the story and simply killed off the protagonist.
It was entirely ridiculous.
After Bai Jiaojiao and the Green Snake consumed the Snow Lotus Petals, their injuries somewhat improved, but the petals were not as miraculous as described. They only served a healing purpose but did not rapidly regenerate flesh and blood.
This was normal, after all, it was an exaggerated usage, and besides, Bai Jiaojiao was a dragon. It was normal for humans and dragons to have different effects from medicine. Lin Yun decided to bleed a little and let Bai Jiaojiao drink it.
She was too seriously injured, and Lin Yun feared the Snow Lotus Petals wouldn’t sustain her life, his blood was a bit more reliable.
The disturbance in Qinghe City also drew the attention of Ziyang City. For a moment, the powerhouses guarding the area suspected it might be the Grassland People launching a surprise attack on Qinghe City.
Lin Yu looked at the rapidly dissipating purple hue but had a bad premonition.
Upon seeing Jiang Chenyu, Lin Yu said in a hurry, "I’ll go check what has happened. You all stay alert and on guard."
The Snow Maiden might be a bit dull, but there were clever people among the Grassland People too. If this was a diversionary tactic, it could spell trouble.
The defense of Ziyang City still had to be prioritized, Lin Yu alone would suffice to investigate.
From her departure to her arrival at Qinghe City, it was but the blink of an eye. When she appeared in the skies above Qinghe City and saw the whole city in ruins, her pupils constricted. Then she saw Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao both covered in blood, struggling to support each other. She quickly leaped over and took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and gave Lin Yun a medicinal pill to swallow.
"What happened?"
Lin Yu asked anxiously.
"A spatial disturbance,"
Lin Yun would not have known, had it not been for a hint from Little Gold.
Such a powerful shockwave, accompanied by the appearance of a void that quickly faded, indicated a spatial disturbance.
Lin Yu knew that when strength reached its limit and was used in the correct way, one could shatter the void.
Previously, Wang Wan Qiu had performed a feat where she slashed through the void, and now Lin Yu could do it too.
But they could only momentarily shatter space, and space would quickly recover. It wasn’t enough to cause a spatial disturbance.
Little Gold explained, "Space is extremely stable and resilient, and it generally does not fluctuate unless a wide range and continuous space shattering occurs, which may cause spatial disturbances. Moreover, space is a whole; it’s impossible to predict where such space shattering has taken place."
Lin Yun: "..."
Which meant that a void had shattered somewhere else, and as he happened to be passing by, the shock transferred all the way to him.
"Am I really this cursed, to run into every possible disaster?"
"All sorts of ruins and such, if I come across them, then so be it, but whether they’re good or bad, I always seem to find them. This has got to be too much bad luck."
"But what can be done about it?"
Lin Yun sighed and said, "It’s just a coincidence."
That said, Lin Yun was secretly seething on the inside.
"Whoever’s tearing apart the fabric of space without a shred of public conscience, remember this—you’ll pay when I find you!"
Fortunately, the accident didn’t take Lin Yun’s life, and Bai Jiaojiao recovered her vitality after drinking Lin Yun’s blood, and then she witnessed the devastation of Qinghe City.
Many were buried in the ruins, their fate unknown.
"I’ll go rescue people first."
Bai Jiaojiao transformed into her Dragon Form once again, circling above Qinghe City. The debris of the buildings swiftly rose, forming a pile, and with a dragon’s roar from Bai Jiaojiao, a timely rain began to fall, reviving those barely clinging to life with the rain’s nourishment, while the seriously injured regained the ability to move.
This sight and experience would likely be unforgettable for them for the rest of their lives.
First came the sudden doomsday scenario, and then a True Dragon circled overhead as rain brought salvation. Facing the desolation all around, they felt a profound sense of having survived a cataclysm.
Lin Yun silently watched Bai Jiaojiao accumulating merit and then leaned weakly against Hu Yuling. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
There were many helping him up, but Hu Yuling’s support felt the most comfortable.
"You say it’s an accident, but it might not be an accident."
Lin Yu felt a weight on her heart; she sensed something odd about this accident.
If the spatial turbulence was a coincidence, why did it specifically injure Lin Yun?
Moreover, this spatial disturbance didn’t occur anywhere else, only here.
She originally planned to visit Qinghe City today to preach the Sword Dao to the Cultivators who were still willing to fight for Ziyang City. If their Cultivation Levels increased, they would have a better chance of survival on the battlefield.
However, before she left, Lin Yu received news from Wang Wanqiu about roars of strange beasts coming from Cloud Dream Marsh. Cloud Dream Marsh was an important area, where many ordinary civilians lived. If a powerful Spirit Beast was born there, they could not ignore it.
Because of the need to arrange for an investigation of Cloud Dream Marsh, Lin Yu took some time and thus did not go to Qinghe City.
If she had gone, could it have been her who was injured?
It wasn’t that Lin Yu was paranoid, but ever since her breakthrough to the Defiant Heavenly Realm, she had a peculiar feeling.
She always felt as if there was some form of malice directed at her from the unknown.
In this light, the rumors that the Heavenly Dao didn’t allow the existence of someone in the Defiant Heavenly Realm might hold some truth.
Yet there is a contrary example, Yuxuan had even surpassed the Defiant Heavenly Realm. So, how does one explain that?
Moreover, she was able to succeed in her breakthrough, so maybe the malice she felt had nothing to do with her Defiant Heavenly Realm.
Perhaps the malice existed all along, and it was only after reaching a new realm that she became aware of it.
In any case, no matter the reason, this spatial disturbance was unsettling for everyone.
Seeing the worry on Lin Yu’s face, Lin Yun optimistically said, "Whether it’s an accident or fate’s will, what’s done is done. I feel that there’s a bigger hidden danger behind this. Where has there been a continuous and extensive rupture of space?""
