The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 607 - 115 We Proclaim Ourselves Emperor

Wang Wanqiu looked at Yuan Zihe, who was so tense about Lin Yun, and seriously examined her, sighing softly in her heart.

After confirming through the look in her eyes, this was the next victim.

"It doesn’t matter who I am, what you need to know is who you are."

"Of course I know, put Young Master Lin down!"

Yuan Zihe felt that Lin Yun was still putting on a show and participated very enthusiastically, showing her concern for Lin Yun vividly, though it might not seem very smart, Bai Jiaojiao and the others turned a blind eye, which meant she was an ally.

But concern leads to chaos, doesn’t it!

"Since you insist on it, then I’ll give him back to you."

Wang Wanqiu enveloped Lin Yun with gentle force and pushed him into Yuan Zihe’s hands, which was fine with her as she didn’t want to stay with Lin Yun for too long.

Being with him would breed Heart Demons, but her master had asked her to take care of him, so Wang Wanqiu’s feelings were both expectant and resistant.

Now, there was someone else to take over.

If she couldn’t save him, then so be it.

Yuan Zihe carefully protected Lin Yun, looking at his profile, feeling his even breathing, a cold sneer played in her heart.

Ha, such poor acting, but I have already seen through everything!

Wang Wanqiu didn’t say much more, leaving Lin Yun behind to look for Sword Cultivators.

She didn’t notify everyone individually but allowed others to spread the news, and then she returned to Ziyang City.

Wang Wanqiu was also very busy, with too much on her plate. The more capable a person was, the heavier the responsibilities they bore, and her return now was to check if the scouts sent to explore Cloud Dream Marsh had returned so she could understand the situation.

As soon as she got back to Ziyang City, she saw the Grassland People were attacking again.

The commotion from Qinghe City had been felt by the Grassland People too; the powerful fluctuations had brought a fierce windstorm.

They didn’t know what had happened to the Central Plains People, but creating chaos during the turmoil was always the right move.

And this time, as the Grassland People’s war cries began, Lin Yu, who should have been confronting the Snow Maiden as a top combat power, appeared in front of both armies with a flash.

The other Sect Leaders who knew about Yuxuan’s plan were utterly puzzled at this moment.

What was Lin Yu up to?

After so many had already died, stopping now was like having the progress bar stuck in the middle. Rather than that, it would be better to thoroughly implement the plan.

The Central Plains People were confused, but the Grassland People were now fearful.

When Lin Yu stood in the middle like that, the Grassland People who initially charged furiously immediately pulled their horses to a sharp halt, braking at high speed and causing chaos and tumbles among them.

But falling off a horse or even getting trampled a few times by their own comrades didn’t compare to facing the killing god before them.

Seeing Lin Yu appear, the Snow Maiden didn’t want to show weakness and stepped forward to meet him.

The two didn’t speak, communicating silently through their eyes instead.

Under the aura of both, the air around them seemed to freeze.

"All of this should end now."

"It should have ended long ago, it is you who have been stubbornly resistant."

The Snow Maiden was still full of anger as she said this.

They had agreed on achieving victory after three defeats, and she had gone easy, but the fight just kept dragging on. If it weren’t for Lin Yun explaining the situation to her later, she would have lost her patience long ago.

The Snow Maiden might not be very smart, but she wasn’t foolish enough to be completely thoughtless.

Clearly, the longer the delay, the harder it would be for Lin Yun to establish his authority on the Grassland. So why the delay?

Now, all the warriors of the Grassland knew of the Snow Maiden’s ferocity, harboring a less-than-favorable impression of Lin Yun.

How could Lin Yun rule supreme in such a situation?

Too preoccupied with this issue, the Snow Maiden couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong. Lin Yun had always been smart, so how could he make such a mistake this time?

Unable to understand, she felt a surge of irritation.

Lin Yu came at a good time; she could argue or even fight with him.

"A battle to decide the victor, how about it?"

Lin Yu revealed her true Cultivation Level; only those close to her in Central Plains knew she had broken through to the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

However, feeling Lin Yu’s power, the Snow Maiden was not afraid at all.

"Alright!"

Her aura climbed steadily, in no way inferior to Lin Yu’s.

Only then did Lin Yu realize that it wasn’t just her who had broken through; the Snow Maiden had also done so after their battle.

She had only achieved her breakthrough after being enlightened by Lin Yun, but this Snow Maiden...

Lin Yu might seem unconcerned with competing, but her competitive spirit was very strong; she didn’t compete because she was already the strongest.

She had thought she was the most special one by Lin Yun’s side, but now there was another Snow Maiden, and Lin Yu’s fighting spirit flared.

Though combative by nature, Lin Yu wouldn’t easily allow her emotions to sway her. Realizing that the Snow Maiden had also broken through to a new realm, Lin Yu immediately sensed that there was something unusual about the situation.

"Have you felt any malice permeating from the world around you?"

"Hm?"

The Snow Maiden tilted her head in confusion and said, "Is that malice? No wonder I’ve been feeling so irritable lately."

Ever since her breakthrough, a sense of oppression had been weighing on her mind, and Lin Yun’s change in plan, with his explanation failing to convince her, only added to her unease.

Now, hearing what Lin Yu said, could there be more to it than meets the eye?

With the Snow Maiden corroborating her feelings, Lin Yu’s thoughts became more conviction.

No wonder they say that it’s important to have a cultivation partner on the path of cultivation. Without someone of the same realm, one would tread the path alone, oblivious to any missteps. Having a companion makes a difference; they can validate each other’s experiences.

"Perhaps, we should change our approach."

Seeing that the Snow Maiden’s cultivation level was on par with her own, Lin Yu no longer entertained the thought of initiating a fight.

If the two of them were to fight, it would be a serious and relentless battle; only life or death would determine the victor.

Now, with the unknown lurking in the shadows, internal strife was certainly not an option.

"How do you want to change it?"

"We should proclaim ourselves as emperors."

Lin Yu’s remark left the Snow Maiden stunned.

"What are they talking about?"

Atop the city walls, Jiang Chenyu muttered to herself as she watched Lin Yu and the Snow Maiden standing together, clearly in conversation. Yet she saw no sign of Lin Yu making any effort to conceal their words, and she couldn’t hear what they were saying at all. Moreover, their figures were becoming increasingly blurry.

Jiang Chenyu knew that the Snow Maiden was no outsider to Lin Yu, who probably wouldn’t engage in a deathmatch with her anymore. Still, openly "conspiring" before the armies—was that really appropriate?

Soon after, the two mutually retreated. Lin Yu returned atop the city walls, while the Snow Maiden withdrew, prompting the Grassland People to sound the retreat.

Both sides were left in a fog, not understanding what had transpired before the fight had even begun.

Wang Wanqiu had also considered coming over to take a look, but just then, an ordinary disciple reported, "The three disciples who were sent to explore the Cloud Dream Marsh have not sent any reports back, and we can’t reach them with the Sound Transmission Talisman either."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Wanqiu felt a sudden heaviness in her heart.

She had dispatched Lu Lihua from the Guanghan Palace, whom Lin Yu had entrusted her to take good care of, so Wang Wanqiu had sent her on a mission that was not too dangerous yet would broaden her horizons.

To ensure her safety, Wang Wanqiu had even suggested that she could bring two fellow sect members along to explore. Within half a day, whether they found anything or not, they were to report back using the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Now, with no one returning and no messages received, it was likely that they had encountered trouble.

"I will personally go to the Cloud Dream Marsh."

Wang Wanqiu hesitated no more. This trip was not only for the lives of Lu Lihua and the other two disciples but also for the common people in the vicinity of the marsh.

Regardless of whatever mythical beast was hidden in the Cloud Dream Marsh, Wang Wanqiu was confident she could take it on.

Moreover, not long after the news of the mythical beasts in the Cloud Dream Marsh had spread, Qinghe City experienced spatial tremors. Perhaps they were related to some incident occurring in the marsh.

After some consideration, she decided that going in person was the most fitting action.

Cloud Dream Marsh and Ziyang City were not far apart, and though Wang Wanqiu had no impressive Escape Skills, through Sword Flight she reached the marsh in no more than half an hour.

Upon arrival, Wang Wanqiu released her aura without reservation. This provocation would surely elicit a response from the mythical beast if it was still there, saving her the trouble of searching for it.

However, despite making a full round with her "taunting aura," Wang Wanqiu didn’t manage to provoke any mythical beasts to show themselves; even the ordinary Spirit Beasts had gone into hiding beneath the water, sensing the overpowering demonic presence.

The aquatic Spirit Beasts of the Cloud Dream Marsh had indeed fallen on hard times recently. First came a dragon, now a demon; what’s going on—everyone’s visiting the Cloud Dream Marsh as the New Year approaches?

In any case, no matter how brazen the creature outside was, staying put would solve the problem.

Better to stay home and be a "turtle" than go out and be skinned and eaten.

Take Big Red for example—he claimed to be the Dragon King and used to strut about these waters. Now, he’s disappeared without a trace.

Rumor has it that the fish was captured last night, likely stripped of its scales and deboned by now. The only question is whether it was steamed or fried.

With the Spirit Beasts of the Cloud Dream Marsh hiding and not coming out, Wang Wanqiu was at a loss. Flying around on her sword, she used her Divine Sense to search every suspicious spot. After another hour of fruitless searching, she found nothing—not the people nor any mythical beasts.

"Where have they gone?"

The uncertainty filled Wang Wanqiu’s heart as the absence of the disciples suggested that something peculiar had occurred in Cloud Dream Marsh.

Wang Wanqiu made a decisive call, informing Lin Yu of the situation here, while she, of course, chose to stay and continue her exploration.

What Wang Wanqiu didn’t know was that, not far from her, there was an area shrouded in mist.

When her Divine Sense swept over it, she noticed nothing unusual, and from the sky above, it appeared to her as nothing more than an ordinary stretch of water.

That was the effect of an Illusion Array. Only if one traveled by water and reached this spot would they enter the mist.

Because the Illusion Array was just that—an illusion—it couldn’t entirely erase this area. There still had to be a way to enter the array.

And within that shrouded area of mist, the very Lu Lihua she sought was there...
