Lin Yun had not yet made a move when the three people she wanted to hoodwink all appeared.

Jiang Chenyu had declared to fight to the death in Ziyang City, and as Lin Yu started instigating and was about to join the battle, Dongfang Hongyue also arrived in time.

Good, now everyone just happened to gather together.

Since this was not the real decisive battle but just a pre-battle skirmish, a full army assault was not deployed, and the real combatants were only Jiang Chenyu, Dongfang Hongyue, and Lin Yu.

They also represented the three different powers.

However, other spectators went up to Thunder Pond to back them up.

Among them, the main person adding pressure was Wang Wanqiu; only Lin Yun and Hu Yuling knew about Wang Wanqiu’s cultivation level.

After leaving the Southern Border, Lin Yun had Hu Yuling impart many small pieces of Demon Race knowledge to Wang Wanqiu, including how to control her own power and how to transform.

Demons have two forms and can switch between them at any time.

There’s no difference between their human form and actual humans, whereas their demon form possesses some features humans do not have, and what a demon grows is different for each individual; for instance, Hu Yuling grew a tail, while Wang Wanqiu grew a pair of wings.

Well, this way, it is very easy to distinguish front and back.

That was what Lin Yun mockingly thought to herself at the time.

In demon form, the efficiency of absorbing Demonic Qi increases slightly, and the speed of Magic Power circulation inside the body speeds up as well.

In demon form, a demon’s strength can be greatly enhanced.

Wang Wanqiu is currently in her human form; she comes from a clean background, used to be with Sword Sect, and is now a disciple of Lin Yu—completely spotless, so nobody would suspect her as a demon.

She is Lin Yu’s trump card.

Of course, Lin Yu didn’t really want to kill the Snow Maiden; she was just over to cause trouble.

All three women were full of fighting spirit.

In the eyes of the onlookers, they were the backbone of the Cultivation World.

Though they were all women, the aura they emanated and the readiness to fight to the death for the Central Plains were enough to make everyone respect them.

Actually...

These three women were simply going over to beat up a mistress, of course, they were brimming with energy.

The Snow Maiden saw Thunder Pond from afar and flew over, and it had to be said, the Artifact Refining level in the Central Plains completely trounced that of the Grassland, at the very least, the Grassland did not have such a range of odd and peculiar devices.

The Warriors consciously gathered behind the Snow Maiden, ready to lend a hand should a fight break out.

Lin Yun did not evade, and stood side by side with the Snow Maiden, facing the three fiercely approaching women, Lin Yun felt his scalp tingle.

Mainly because he had drawn too much hatred.

Given a bit more time, he still could have sweet-talked them to avoid an overly intense battle, but now, it was clear they arrived with anger, making this battle unavoidable.

Since that was the case, the only option was to fight.

Lin Yun also took out Qiaobian, seeing him like this, the eyes of Lin Yu and others became even sharper.

Six eyes focused on Lin Yun, making him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the Grassland People were not versed in Divine Sense, and as soon as Divine Sense Voice Transmission was within reach, Lin Yun immediately transmitted his voice to Dongfang Hongyue:

"Yue’er, why have you all come?"

This question was asked knowingly, yet it was a step Lin Yun had to take.

Dongfang Hongyue snorted coldly and transmitted her voice in response, "If we hadn’t come, you would have married the Snow Maiden by now!"

Very well, the resentment was being vented.

Lin Yun was not afraid of Dongfang Hongyue being angry; he was afraid of her not being angry.

When she’s angry, you just need to coax her, and she’ll be fine. If she’s not angry, there’s really nothing you can do.

"Listen to me, there’s a misunderstanding here," he pleaded.

"There’s nothing to explain, draw your sword!"

Dongfang Hongyue was very straightforward and didn’t give Lin Yun a chance to coax her.

She knew that once Lin Yun coaxed her, she would definitely stop being angry, but that wouldn’t do. She had come here to fight today, and if she wasn’t angry, where would the enthusiasm for fighting come from?

Seeing he couldn’t persuade Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun had no choice but to send a message to Lin Yu.

In Lin Yun’s eyes, Lin Yu had always been the most reasonable and the most aware of the big picture.

However, this time, Lin Yu was also throwing a small tantrum, and the reason was...

"Did you message Dongfang Hongyue first because you think she’s more caring, more attentive to you? Now that you can’t persuade her, you come to me, huh!" she accused.

Lin Yun: "..."

He was so preoccupied with guarding against the Grassland People, thinking that they wouldn’t notice the Divine Sense Voice Transmission, that he overlooked the three Cultivators from the Central Plains right in front of him.

Lin Yu easily noticed his private conversation with Dongfang Hongyue and, as a result, she too got angry.

In the end, there was only Jiang Chenyu left.

Lin Yun glanced at her and thought better of it. If you all insist on fighting, then let’s fight!

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

She felt insulted. Why would Lin Yun talk to the other two and not to her?

In an instant, Jiang Chenyu’s look towards Lin Yun changed from fierce to pitiful, no longer as ferocious as before.

She went from a strong woman to a wronged little wife in a second.

Seeing she was close to tears, Lin Yun knew he had to console her, or she would feel miserable inside, so he sternly transmitted his voice: "Why are you joining in on this mess? Have you recovered your Cultivation Level yet? Don’t you know to take care of yourself?"

Although his tone was harsh, his words still revealed his concern for her.

Jiang Chenyu finally felt a bit less aggrieved and, in the tone of a wronged wife, responded to Lin Yun through voice transmission, "My Cultivation Level has recovered, don’t be so harsh..."

"Alright, I won’t be tough on you. Even if you’ve recovered, you can’t beat the Snow Maiden. Pretend to fight with me for a while later, so you won’t get hurt."

Jiang Chenyu felt warmth in her heart and looked at Lin Yun with tenderness.

Lin Yun still cared about her.

The Snow Maiden, unaware that Lin Yun was flirting right under her nose with these enemies, arrogantly said, "Are you here to fight or not?"

After awakening her Divine Power, the Snow Maiden got a bit carried away. If Yuxuan hadn’t died, she would even want to go and spar with Yuxuan again, of course, just to practice since she still remembered the old man’s teachings.

As for Dongfang Hongyue, the Snow Maiden only remembered the grudge from being burned by her fire.

If it weren’t for Dongfang Hongyue’s fire, she and Lin Yun wouldn’t have developed any ambiguous relationship, nor would today’s situation have arisen. However, she completely forgot Dongfang Hongyue’s kindness, only remembering that the fire had caused her a lot of pain.

She had lost last time, but this time she was determined to get her revenge!

But the Snow Maiden thought about what Lin Yun had said, about losing three battles on purpose, and she made up her mind to lose the first three rounds, to let them have their way.

Humph, after I lose three rounds, I will take my revenge.

Then, I’ll settle both new grudges and old.

Dongfang Hongyue was not just someone who had burned her but was also one of Lin Yun’s lovers. She must defeat her to establish her position, if not to drive her away, at least to let her know who would be the elder sister in this household in the future.

The Snow Maiden might be the youngest, but her heart was the biggest.

Facing the Snow Maiden’s challenge, Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu certainly had no reason to back down.

"Since you already know our intention, let’s skip the talk and get started!"
