Although Lin Yun had swiftly eliminated Yushui, Guyu still didn’t consider Lin Yun a match in combat strength.

When Divine Envoys do not use their Divine Power, they are no different from Mortals. But once they take out their Divine Token and summon the power of the God, they become an opponent no Mortal can contend with.

Therefore, only Divine Envoys can fight against Divine Envoys.

Among the Six Great Divine Envoys of the Spring Tribe, her Wind and Jingzhe’s Thunder are considered strong in combat, while the others have stronger support abilities.

If Qingming and Yushui were both present, Guyu would feel confident about fighting, even though there was still the inscrutable old chieftain lurking as an enemy. At least there was a chance in a fight.

But now, with Qingming killed first and Yushui slain by Lin Yun, she had no chance of winning.

"Run quickly!"

The first thing Guyu thought of was to retreat, but she discovered Lin Yun searching Yushui’s body.

Good grief, the man is dead; are you planning to take advantage while it’s still warm?

When she saw Lin Yun find the Divine Token in Yushui’s embrace, Guyu realized what Lin Yun was thinking and knew she had misunderstood him again; she felt apologetic, but now was not the time to apologize.

"The Divine Token can only be used by Divine Envoys, it’s useless in your hands, let’s go quickly!"

As Guyu spoke, she took out her own Divine Token and commanded, "Wind, come forth!"

With Guyu’s command, a gust of fierce wind howled, blocking the incoming barrage of arrows.

The old chieftain was also of decisive and ruthless ilk; originally, he intended to attract attention so that Yushui could strike and best deal with Guyu stealthily. Who would have thought Lin Yun would unravel the plot? How did he discover it?

Lin Yun indicated that trying to be an undercover operative in front of him was still too green.

Seeing Qingming dead, everyone’s attention was on Qingming and those who died with him. Only Lin Yun wasn’t looking that way, and he noticed something off about Yushui’s emotions.

Having been comrades for so long, her first reaction to their death wasn’t sadness, but excitement.

Afterward, her every move was observed by Lin Yun. Like the mantis stalking the cicada, oblivious to the oriole behind, as she calculated how to assassinate Guyu, she didn’t guard against Lin Yun also closing in on her. Hardly had she struck when her head was gone.

In real combat, there isn’t much to say. The old chieftain needed no idle talk, and they also knew their reasons couldn’t hold. Thus, more talking would only affect morale—it was better to just take action.

Guyu’s violent wind could block the mundane arrows, but Jingzhe summoned lightning. The other two Divine Envoys called forth storms, covering Guyu and her companions with dark clouds.

Having lost the will to fight, Guyu commanded the wind to give all allies a buff, and Lin Yun also felt considerably lighter.

The group ran frantically up the mountain, fleeing in panic.

Lin Yun also seemingly shot a few arrows in haste and all missed their mark, drawing Jingzhe’s loud laughter.

"Kid, I’m standing right in front of you; can you hit me?"

Now with the Divine Token in hand, Mortal strength cannot harm him.

Seeing Jingzhe’s ruthless mockery, Lin Yun also seemed to be provoked and stood his ground instead of running, drawing his bow and fitting an arrow.

Jingzhe arrogantly said, "Come on, everyone step back, let him shoot me!"

Jingzhe enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, humiliating his prey, causing them extreme anger and frustration, yet leaving them helpless and furiously impotent.

"Run quickly!"

Guyu wasn’t optimistic about Lin Yun’s chances. Even though Lin Yun had stealthily killed Yushui, it was because Yushui hadn’t used her Divine Token for protection and wasn’t on guard. Judging by Lin Yun’s previous two arrows, his archery wasn’t that great. Staying behind to shoot would only be humiliating; better to escape from there.

While everyone was disregarding Lin Yun, he released his arrow. Everyone thought he couldn’t shoot accurately, but Lin Yun struck Jingzhe’s left eye in one shot.

Jingzhe cried out in pain, never expecting Lin Yun to actually hit him. Nevertheless, it was just a Mortal arrow; even though it hit, it caused him just a bit of pain.

Five water arrows suddenly formed. These arrows were not ordinary water, but were formed by the Divine Power called forth by Yushui’s Divine Token.

This completely overturned everyone’s understanding. In their view, Divine Tokens could only be used by Divine Envoys and, moreover, even Divine Envoys needed a lengthy period of time to communicate with the Divine Token. At the very least, they would have to burn incense and take ritual baths for three days, praying to the Divine Token before they could gradually begin to use it. And the amount of Divine Power that the Divine Token could wield was limited.

When using Divine Power, the Divine Envoys were miserly, unwilling to expend too much.

Yet, Lin Yun took the Divine Token, instantly knew how to use it, and with a few whispers, he could unleash Divine Power, like a spell-casting machine gun with smart voice control—so simple, who couldn’t do it!

The first ordinary arrow was just a feint that diverted everyone’s attention. While they were all distracted by the first arrow, Lin Yun rapidly summoned the water arrows, firing five shots in rapid succession.

Jingzhe, still covering and rubbing his injured eye, did not expect another arrow to come flying. This time, the water arrow hit his right eye and pierced right in.

Jingzhe screamed in agony. It was only then that the old chieftain realized what was happening and quickly intercepted the second arrow. However, Lin Yun was too quick; the chieftain might block one, but not the ones following.

The subsequent arrows, one pierced Jingzhe’s howling mouth, one struck his forehead, and the last one hit an unmentionable area.

If the chieftain hadn’t intervened, that arrow would have hit right in his chest.

Guyu was shocked on the spot. What kind of godly archery was this, five shots in a second, and each one hitting such a critical spot.

Although the old chieftain had blocked the arrow that was aimed at Jingzhe’s heart, the other four arrows were enough to take Jingzhe’s life.

Chun Fen and Li Chun hastily tried to treat him, but their healing was too slow. Jingzhe had three arrows in his head, hitting different spots but all penetrating his brain.

He appeared to be alive, but he was actually already dead, his body convulsing non-stop—perhaps the pain in his lower half was too intense.

Why should a man make things difficult for another man? That shot was too inhuman.

But after shooting, Lin Yun felt a wave of relief wash over him. Why are you coveting my body?

If they hadn’t started trouble, Lin Yun wouldn’t have wanted to be their enemy; he was just a passerby.

Seeing Jingzhe dead, Guyu suddenly regained confidence.

Chun Fen and Li Chun were not good at fighting, perhaps they could fight them.

However, at that moment, Lin Yun was dragging her to escape.

"Don’t fight a battle that you’re not sure of winning, let’s retreat first!"

The elder had not made a move, Lin Yun felt he had some cards up his sleeve, rashly attacking was like asking for trouble, retreating was the wisest decision.

Without realizing it, Lin Yun had become the pillar of the group; Guyu decided to follow his advice and run up the mountain, the elder watched them ascend and ultimately didn’t intervene.

"Could this be fate?"

His melancholic sigh also reached Lin Yun’s ears.

"Fate? I seem to have a knack for defying that."

Lin Yun mumbled this somewhat cliched sentiment to himself; of course, he didn’t dare to say it out loud, only daring to whisper it in his heart.

From this point on, the Spring Tribe was openly split; it wasn’t just a split but a blood feud had been formed.

A struggle that began with bloodshed would inevitably end with even more bloodshed.

For Lin Yun, killing two Divine Envoys was just the beginning of the story.

All the planning for creating discord didn’t serve its purpose, because they had indeed started fighting on their own.

The only gain was perhaps Guyu’s trust and respect for him had reached a peak; this was like unintentionally planting willows, uh, no, he did it on purpose.

Escaping into the mountains was just the start of the conflict, leaving this world, leaving the tribe was only the first step.

In the future, who knew how many more steps would need to be taken.

Lin Yun didn’t know that while he was on his great adventure, Bai Jiaojiao was actually right by his side.

She was at a desolate Divine Altar, surrounded by densely packed steles, some covered in cracks, others submerged by weeds.

At first glance, it looked like a graveyard, but it wasn’t; it too was a Divine Altar.

She and Lin Yun were within this Divine Altar, and all the steles circled around it as their center.

Bai Jiaojiao revealed her True Dragon Manifestation, protecting the cracked Lin Yun behind her, and opposite her, a terrifying blue Giant Beast watched Lin Yun with avaricious eyes, saliva dripping from its mouth.

This blue Giant Beast, with a body like crystal yet emitting a faint blue light, had a head like a wolf and a body like a snake, short forelimbs, and a pair of strong, thick hind legs; its tail was exceptionally thin and long.

Its entire body was actually smaller than Bai Jiaojiao’s True Dragon Dharma Body; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to intimidate it.

Next to Lin Yun, within a white bubble, the story of Lin Yun was unfolding.

"Senior, how much longer before he wakes up?"

Bai Jiaojiao’s eyes remained fixed on the blue Giant Beast. The two terrifying beasts stood off against each other, Bai Jiaojiao dared not act rashly, and the Giant Beast dared not provoke Bai Jiaojiao.

Hearing Bai Jiaojiao’s words, a black kitten crawled down from Lin Yun’s head. If it didn’t move, even nestled in Lin Yun’s hair, it would be so well hidden nobody could tell there was a cat lurking there.

It was so very black.

"I’m not certain either. Those who enter the Dream Return Immortal Array and manage to activate the Array, creating a world within a dream, are exceedingly rare. Even I have never heard of someone reaching this extent within the Dream Return Immortal Array."

The Black Cat spoke human language, glancing over at the white bubble.

This was a Dream Realm, as well as a world in itself.

Bai Jiaojiao and Lin Yun had entered a small world, and upon arriving in this world, they fell into this Dream Return Immortal Array.

This Dream Return Immortal Array was a treasure left behind by a Divine Spirit who created this world. Through the Array, one could find what they sought in a dream; when the Divine Spirit was alive, it could even make the false become real.

But after the God’s death, the Dream Return Immortal Array could only let people dream.

Someone like Lin Yun who had actually created a world within the Dream Return Immortal Array was truly unprecedented and unheard of.

Even when Divine Spirits roamed the earth, nobody could achieve such a feat.

The Black Cat was the Servant of the Gods of this world, lured by the scent of something extraordinary.

And that blue Giant Beast, called Dream Eater, was as its name implied, it fed on dreams, devouring dreamscapes and incidentally consuming the spirit and soul of dreamers.

The Dream Eater had feasted on dreams its whole life and yet had never come across a dream that could form a world. Even under the threat of a True Dragon, it was unwilling to leave, lingering and watching intently, seeking an opportunity to attack.

Its instincts were guiding its steps.

If it could consume Lin Yun’s Dream Realm, perhaps it could transcend this world, and even, become divine...
