The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 634 - 142 Stop Fighting, These Are All My People
That day, Dongfang Hongyue ultimately failed to get out of Yu Jiaolong what the "could it be that" hinted at.
Yu Jiaolong was a straightforward person; in less emotionally intelligent terms, she wasn’t very smart and acted brashly. However, even though she wasn’t the brightest, the moment her thoughts paused and she gave it another spin in her head, she immediately knew she couldn’t speak further.
Her guess was that the gods of the Primordial Realm had died, which allowed the mortals here to absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth. Even though she was a Goddess and the myths and legends of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom were very detailed, she didn’t know what the existence of the gods of the Primordial Realm was truly like.
Nonetheless, she was certain that there were definitely gods in the Primordial Realm; it was recorded in the holy scriptures of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom. However, the scriptures didn’t mention the names of the gods of the Primordial Realm, not even a title, as if avoiding something deliberately.
Yu Jiaolong was not so intelligent, but she wasn’t foolish enough to speak of things even the holy scriptures of her own kingdom dared not mention. It was a good thing Zhen Li arrived; otherwise, had she dared voice her speculations, she probably would have dropped dead on the spot.
The Heavenly Dao of this world still existed, and for all she knew, it could be an incarnation of Its will. In any case, this was a risk she couldn’t afford to take.
She really owed this little Daoist nun for saving her life!
Even so, Yu Jiaolong’s gaze toward Zhen Li still carried a trace of malicious intent. When she first saw Zhen Li, her thought was to kill her and try out her theory. She wasn’t sure whether Zhen Li or that dragon was the true Child of Heavenly Mandate, but it was right to strike at one of them regardless.
Zhen Li was really unlucky; every time she saved someone, they would turn around and plot against her. But at this moment, she didn’t care about that, even though Yu Jiaolong’s malice was barely concealed, Zhen Li had little reaction.
Her mind was filled with the words Lin Yun had said to her, every word and sentence twisting in her heart.
Even though she had mustered all her courage to convey almost explicitly her feelings, Lin Yun still rejected her.
And the reason for rejection was something she found utterly unacceptable.
He said his heart was occupied by a Goddess, a Demoness, a Witch, leaving no room for anyone else. Such a blunt rejection left Zhen Li with no space for illusions.
Zhen Li knew she was rather ordinary. Although she had high talents, she had been too carefree previously, resulting in a lower cultivation level. In terms of personality, she was so simple and naive that she was almost saintlike. She figured that this goody-two-shoes image was probably not Lin Yun’s cup of tea.
Did he prefer bad girls?
Zhen Li was deep in thought, utterly unaware that Yu Jiaolong nearby had already harbored a murderous intent.
At such a short distance, even the Heavenly Dao might not react in time, right?
Yu Jiaolong had not been put under any restrictive spells, which was why she felt relaxed enough to engage in conversation.
Of course, she might not be willing to collaborate, but that was fine. This was just an attempt; if soft tactics didn’t work, they could always resort to hard ones.
But Zhen Li’s sudden appearance disrupted Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yun’s original plan. When Zhen Li sat down here before, Yu Jiaolong had thoughts about her, but lacked the power. Now, nearly recovered, she didn’t hesitate any longer.
No need for further dallying!
Yu Jiaolong’s hand went to her sword, but as she was about to unsheathe it, her hand was restrained by Dongfang Hongyue. Yu Jiaolong released her divine power, the formidable power of Gengjin forced Dongfang Hongyue to release her grip and retreat. Dongfang Hongyue didn’t hold back either, quickly forming Fire Lotus in both hands and launching them at Yu Jiaolong.
Zhen Li and Green Snake were both clueless about the situation. It all happened without warning. One second they were talking amicably, there was a pause for a few breaths, and then they broke out into a fight. Such a speed of turning face was truly terrifying.
It was only later that Green Snake came to her senses, swiftly transforming into a dragon to fight alongside Dongfang Hongyue.
Yu Jiaolong had initially intended to take Zhen Li by surprise and kill her, as Zhen Li had a low cultivation level and could be easily cut down by her sword. To her surprise, even such a sudden attack was fended off by Dongfang Hongyue.
Clearly, Dongfang Hongyue wasn’t as unguarded against her as she appeared to be. On the contrary, she must have been vigilant all along.
But what of it?
Her divine power was almost fully restored, and killing Dongfang Hongyue wouldn’t be difficult.
"Miss Yu, what are you trying to do? We have already agreed to release you, why still resort to violence? Wouldn’t it be better to sit down and have a decent conversation?"
"Hmph, do you think I don’t know that you’re trying to trick me into talking?"
Having already made her move, Yu Jiaolong saw no reason to restrain herself anymore. She sneered, "Don’t take people for fools. The only reason I was going along with you was to recover my divine power. You’ve killed so many Divine Realm Inhabitants; I naturally have to avenge them!"
Saying such words brought a lot of satisfaction to Yu Jiaolong, reveling in the feeling that while others might think she was the fool, in reality, she was not.
You didn’t expect me to be on the fifth layer!
However, Dongfang Hongyue, who knew of Yu Jiaolong’s restored divine power, was not the least bit panicked. Now that the facade was torn, she nonchalantly said, "Did you really think I was chatting with you to gather information? Wrong, it was just to make you drink this tea."
Yu Jiaolong: "..."
She thought she was on the fifth layer, but in reality, she was on the second.
Who was Dongfang Hongyue? She had lived for three hundred years and had been dealing with ruthless people from the age of five. Her schemes were not easily countered by the average person.
"The tea is poisoned?"
Yu Jiaolong couldn’t believe it. Whether it was the tea leaves or the water, she had watched Dongfang Hongyue make it on the spot, never noticing anything off, and Dongfang Hongyue had drunk it herself too. Such a ruthless person!
"It’s not poison, just some tiny Gu worms."
Dongfang Hongyue had the idea of raising Gu only after she was bitten by the Yin Yang Soul Pursuit Bead. Knowing both yourself and your enemy can lead to victory in all battles. Besides, she had hit a significant barrier in her cultivation, so she might as well explore some unorthodox methods. Who knows, there might be some gains.
However, Dongfang Hongyue did not aim too high. She didn’t set her sights on the three great mystical Gu, nor did she seek the best Gu.
Contrarily, the Gu that Dongfang Hongyue looked for were all of relatively low level.
Balance exists among all things, the stronger the ability, the greater the restriction. On the contrary, some low-level Gu worms, although mediocre in ability, have fewer conditions that limit them.
Dongfang Hongyue whistled, and Yu Jiaolong felt weak all over. Somewhere on her body, there was also an odd reaction.
She looked at Dongfang Hongyue, her eyes filled with shock.
I thought you were a person of decency, yet not only did you poison me, but you used that kind of poison?
Where is your sense of shame?
"Don’t think you’ve won just like that. Divine power is not something you mortals can withstand!"
Yu Jiaolong did not admit defeat, and in fact, she started spouting melodramatic threats. She thought this made her look very cool.
After making her threats, she shouted out the name of her divine art loudly.
"Sword that Pierces All!"
Countless sword Qi burst from within Yu Jiaolong, all of these sword energies having traveled within her body. Dongfang Hongyue could sense that her own Gu had been killed by Yu Jiaolong in an instant.
Originally, Gu took advantage of attacking from the inside, but who could have thought that this Goddess was truly formidable, to still have such a technique up her sleeve.
However, Yu Jiaolong did not feel triumphant for long, and Dongfang Hongyue’s expression did not change much.
Yu Jiaolong’s face turned even redder after dispelling the Gu. Although the Gu worms were killed, they remained inside her body. Her strong physique crushed and digested them, but these Gu worms were poisonous.
And it was an unspeakable poison. Yu Jiaolong’s face flushed, and although she didn’t lose herself to desire, the sensation left her immensely angry and embarrassed.
"Despicable and shameless, I’m going to kill you!"
Yu Jiaolong’s hatred for Dongfang Hongyue reached the max, but at that moment, Lin Yun appeared.
Along with Lin Yun, there were three other individuals.
One of them was Wu Xin, who had previously had dealings with Yu Jiaolong.
"My advice to you is to sit down properly and have a meal with us."
Yu Jiaolong: "..."
She had originally thought that once she regained her strength, she could make a big scene. That’s why she endured all manner of things, even deliberately pretended to be innocent and honest, revealing many secrets while Dongfang Hongyue was gathering intelligence.
In reality, all of this was just to stabilize the situation.
Yu Jiaolong thought she was being very clever, but Dongfang Hongyue told her with her actions what it truly means to be cunning.
You thought I was trying to gather your intelligence, but in actuality, I was laying a Gu trap. As for your intelligence... once I have you subdued, won’t I arrange things as I please?
This was still nothing; Lin Yun was truly devious.
Southwest Sword Sect wasn’t far from Mount Heavenly Dragon, and with Bai Jiaojiao’s speed, they had even arrived ahead of time. With Wu Xin, who wanted to stir trouble but didn’t dare to oppose Lin Yun openly, Lin Yun was able to discreetly communicate with her. Wu Xin informed Bai Jiaojiao of Lin Yun’s arrangements, and the three of them hid within the town. While buying vegetables, Lin Yun had a detailed discussion of the plan with Bai Jiaojiao and the others.
When would Yu Jiaolong ever have a chance? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Only if she decided from the very beginning to go all out against Lin Yun, would she have stood a chance. Otherwise, from the moment she boarded the ship of thieves, she had already fallen into the net. Lin Yun was just slow in drawing the net, and Yu Jiaolong had all along failed to realize she was caught in it. When she finally did, it was already far too late.
This was also part of the plan. The proud Goddess had her pride wounded sufficiently. After this, extracting information from her would be much easier.
Lin Yun placed the dishes one by one on the table, quietly observing Yu Jiaolong, his face seemingly inscribed with words.
Yu Jiaolong, stop fighting, everyone here is my ally.
Even to be sure, Bai Jiaojiao, who had arrived earlier, had secretly set up an Air Restriction Formation. Now, even if Yu Jiaolong truly were a dragon, she would find it hard to fly.
Yu Jiaolong looked at the braised fish in the plate and inexplicably felt that she was no different from this fish.
I’m mere meat on the cutting board!
She clenched her fists, knowing she was powerless to resist, but she still gritted her teeth and said each word deliberately, "First, the antidote!"
