The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 673 - 181 Mutated Blood

Two hours later, Lin Yun, Wu Xin, and Hu Yuling met at White Tiger Ridge.

The Central Plains were now too chaotic, only this western frontier offered a moment of peace.

Lin Yun hadn’t expected that initially he thought the lands of the Central Plains were tense, prompting him to send Hu Yuling and Wu Xin to fan the flames, only to find out that there was no need for fanning, as everyone had directly ignited the fuse themselves.

Only through their words did Lin Yun learn that he had gone missing for another month.

This time his disappearance directly became the catalyst for the great war.

Because Wang Wanqiu had a clue that the chief culprit behind Lin Yun’s disappearance, the Thousand Hands and Eye God, shared intricate ties with the Sword Sect, at least, the Sword Sect Leader couldn’t escape being implicated.

Hence, after Lin Yu left seclusion, she went straight to the Sword Sect alone and launched an attack.

In order to find Lin Yun, Lin Yu exhibited a kind of resolute determination to exterminate any god or Buddha who stood in her way.

Baili Liuyun could no longer bear it and clashed with Lin Yu, only to be defeated on the spot.

But the people of the Righteous Path were different. Lin Yu used the excuse that Baili Liuyun worshiped an evil god and plotted against Lin Yun to attack the Sword Sect, but she did not win public approval. Instead, she attracted a barrage of criticism, with many feeling the Shenxiao Sect was too overbearing.

The Sword Sect, Eight Tones Temple, Yu Ling Sect, and Li Fire God Palace all expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and the four major Sects temporarily united, contacting Taiqing Daoist Temple to put pressure on the Shenxiao Sect.

They also wanted to contact Guanghan Palace, but Guanghan Palace didn’t agree.

Thus, the encirclement and attack on Purple Cloud Mountain by the four major Sects happened.

The person in charge of Purple Cloud Mountain was Zhao Lingyu, who saw this as a rare opportunity. The Shenxiao Sect officially declared war against the four major Sects, and the civil war thus erupted.

So, Wu Xin had nothing to do with this wave at all. Everything developed smoothly and naturally, with Wu Xin lying down and winning by default.

Originally, she was quite troubled over how to let the Shenxiao Sect annex the other Sects. It was indeed headache-inducing as the Shenxiao Sect was too powerful; other Sects didn’t dare provoke them, but the Shenxiao Sect itself was a rather upright Sect, strictly adhering to the rules, and they wouldn’t attack weaker Sects on their own initiative.

She didn’t expect the war to come so quickly.

Of course, it ended quickly as well.

Wielding a sword, Lin Yu challenged each Sect one by one. In just three days, the Sword Sect, Yu Ling Sect, Li Fire God Palace, and Eight Tones Temple all surrendered. Afterward, Lin Yu established the Dao Alliance in the name of a Shenxiao Sect Elder. The Dao Alliance had a great restraining power over all Sects in the world, and the Shenxiao Sect became the Alliance Hierarch.

The Dao Alliance elevated Zhao Lingyu to the throne, and thus, the state of headless dragons and long-term regional separatism in the Central Plains came to an end.

Originally, this opportunity to become Emperor was reserved for Lin Yun, but this time Lin Yu and the others did not hesitate and allowed Zhao Lingyu to become the Empress, the only one of her kind.

Although Zhao Lingyu was still a descendant of the Zhao Clan, she didn’t want to re-establish the former dynasty’s name and hence renamed it "Qin."

Now the Central Plains were no longer called Great Zhou, but Great Qin.

After the change of dynasties, Zhao Lingyu became the rightful Empress. She still held the position of Shenxiao Sect Leader, and the Central Plains were unified after a long time, albeit with a lot of lost territory. Originally, after Zhao Lingyu’s ascent, she was supposed to attack the Snow Maiden.

Who would have known that Yuan Zidan suddenly launched a ferocious assault on the coastal cities, and since they could not break through Dongfang Hongyue, they had to take a detour; this detour led them straight into conflict with the Snow Maiden’s people—who could stand that?

So, the Snow Maiden turned around and went to attack Yuan Zidan. Zhao Lingyu followed behind to reclaim lost territories, benefitting like a fisherman from the strife.

And at this time, the long silent Demon Tribe, led by the Flower Fairy, made a strong comeback. Based on the relationship between Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy, they shouldn’t have fought, but they ended up fighting a life and death duel nevertheless, each bent on the other’s demise.

Had Bai Jiaojiao not intervened in their duel, one of them would have certainly died.

Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly lost all interest in teasing Hu Yuling.

He could understand all the other matters; if he disappeared for a month, anything could happen. But why would Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy fight a duel to the death?

However, after all, Wu Xin was his person, and her information was not firsthand. To have gathered so much was already quite diligent on her part.

Anyway, he should reward her with a drop of blood first. Now that he had returned, he could go and solve the problems himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun cut his finger, and Wu Xin eagerly watched him, as if she had been waiting for this drop of blood for a long time.

However, as Lin Yun’s blood flowed, both Wu Xin and Hu Yuling stepped back a few paces.

In the past, the sight of his blood would have made them salivate.

Drooling.

Why did they seem to resist it this time?

"What’s wrong?"

Hu Yuling was closer to Lin Yun, and she did not want to be outdone by Wu Xin. Until now, Wu Xin had been the one reporting, and she hadn’t gotten a word in.

She hurried to answer, "Master, your blood has acquired a terrifying presence, we dare not touch it."

Lin Yun: "..."

Did my little maid grow apart from me after my little outing?

Could it be due to the changes brought about by the crossover of time and space?

Lin Yun had actually been pondering why he entered the rare scene of time-space disruption and what it meant.

If everything was arranged, what was the purpose of the existence that had arranged everything?

Just to let him see a play in the past and learn some hidden secrets?

Lin Yun had been thinking about it all this time. Don’t be fooled by his mind full of flirtatious actions towards Qian Qian; in reality, his main thoughts were on serious matters.

He had not figured out the reason before, but now seeing the reaction of Hu Yuling and Wu Xin, he suddenly understood something.

Perhaps the meaning of the intertwining of time and space is not for one to do or see anything in particular, but to use the power of time and space to taint him.

At this moment, Lin Yun recalled the sword light that suddenly appeared during the time reversal, which was too coincidental. Who could have produced the sword light in the midst of the time reversal and hit them just right? That blow had caused Lin Yun to shed quite a bit of blood.

It was only after he was struck by the sword that their reversal in time ceased. Without that strike, would they have returned to the starting point at the dam instead of reappearing a month after vanishing?

And his blood—might it have been tainted by some ominous power due to that sword strike during the time reversal?

Right, there was also the sword that continued to reverse, smeared with his own blood.

Thinking about the Sinful Blood within Dongfang Hongyue’s body, which was already similar to his own...

For a moment, Lin Yun’s mind raced with wild conjectures, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed plausible.

"Master?"

It wasn’t until Hu Yuling called out that Lin Yun snapped back to reality.

He healed his own wounds and, with some guilt, said to Wu Xin and Hu Yuling, "Sorry, I can’t give you your rewards for now. Once I’ve resolved my issue, I definitely won’t let you down."

Understanding in nature, Hu Yuling responded, "No need for apologies, Master, it’s alright."

She gazed at Lin Yun with deep affection, her eyes brimming with a hint of expectation.

The reward might be forgone, but could there be a bit of punishment instead?

However, upon realizing she had no reason to be punished, Hu Yuling felt some irritation. Why did she have to be so earnest in her work!

Seeing how polite Lin Yun was to her, Wu Xin didn’t take the opportunity to push her luck. In name, she was Lin Yun’s servant, but he had always treated her with respect. Aside from bullying her at the beginning and teasing her earlier, he had been quite good the rest of the time.

Given that she had secretly made a mistake which Lin Yun hadn’t mentioned, she decided to act obedient and echoed, "It’s really okay, we didn’t really do anything to deserve a reward."

Even Wu Xin was being so compliant—it truly moved Lin Yun.

What defines a good employee?

It’s when the boss says he can’t pay the salary, and they reply, "Boss, it’s fine, we can go without it."

"Rest assured, I’ll figure out what’s happening to me as soon as possible, and won’t keep you waiting too long."

All of Lin Yun’s guesses were bold, and next, he needed to verify them with caution.

"By the way, how has Yu Jiaolong been doing lately?"

Lin Yun was about to leave when he suddenly thought of this after looking at Wu Xin.

Having learned some secrets, Lin Yun was even more curious about Yu Jiaolong.

Originally, seeing how similar she was to Lin Yu, Lin Yun suspected that the deity of Tai Bai Divine Kingdom called God was actually White Tiger, and that Yu Jiaolong had a unique skill called Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor Sword, which Lin Yu had also used and seemed quite alike.

However, the Moon God said that the Sun God is a top-tier powerhouse, and there are ten like him, with God of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom and White Tiger occupying two of those spots.

That is to say, they were not the same person.

Still, not being the same person, there must be a connection between the two,

Therefore, he was still keen on getting some information from Yu Jiaolong, but just as he asked the question, Wu Xin’s face subtly changed and she lowered her head, not daring to face Lin Yun.

"What happened?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Yun knew something unexpected must have occurred.

Indeed, Wu Xin looked down, her voice tinged with shame, "Yu Jiaolong has fled back."

She was ordered to guard Yu Jiaolong, which initially seemed unnecessary, for Yu Jiaolong always felt that Lin Yun had an ulterior motive, only to let her guard down once Lin Yun disappeared.

Without saying anything, she just slipped away.

Wu Xin couldn’t stop her and didn’t try, because Yu Jiaolong had told her the secret to breaking through realms.

Focus in one point, break through the limits, and you can transcend realms.

This method was as good as not saying anything.

Another method was the Divine Arts of Tai Bai Divine Kingdom—using the power of a God, you can sever anything, including all kinds of barriers.

But Wu Xin didn’t know it.

It was as good as not having said anything.

Yet, they had made an agreement that once Yu Jiaolong returned to the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, she would beseech the Divine Emperor for another Annihilation Blade.

After letting Yu Jiaolong escape, Wu Xin remembered she was supposed to report to Lin Yun. She, a crafty child, wasn’t really that afraid of Lin Yun; she was just putting up an act to show him her obedience and smartly started to blame herself, thinking that Lin Yun wouldn’t be able to fault her now, would he?

However, Lin Yun raised his hand.

Is he going to hit me?

The next second, Lin Yun placed his hand on her head.

"I was actually planning to let her go, so it’s fine that she’s gone, no worries."

Wu Xin: "..."

She was patted on the head again!
