Lin Xuan did not immediately accept Yun Yao's invitation, and naturally did not take her flattering words seriously.
For a woman as sociable as Yun Yao, one can only trust her to a certain extent.
To give even a fraction more would be idiotic.
“Miss Yun Yao, you’ve gone to such lengths to get into the Mangshan Secret Realm. What is inside that makes you so willing to go to such lengths and start planning so many years in advance?”
Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"There are naturally great opportunities within the secret realm; the Grand Commander will know this once he enters."
Yun Yao smiled slightly, clearly indicating that she did not want to tell Lin Xuan anything.
This woman is all talk and no action; she's completely useless.
They even have to hide this.
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked directly at Yun Yao and said, "In that case, what benefits will I gain if I go into the secret realm with you?"
"A low-grade Xuan-level martial art."
Yun Yao immediately replied, "As long as Commander Lin agrees, I can offer it to you with both hands right now."
"hehe……"
Lin Xuan immediately laughed, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
What is this? It's just a low-grade Xuan-level martial skill. Judging from your posture, anyone who didn't know better would think it was a low-grade Tian-level skill.
Lin Xuan remained calm and unmoved.
After all, all the martial arts techniques and cultivation methods he is currently practicing are at least at the Earth level.
A mere low-grade Xuan-level martial art is nothing.
He didn't even look at it.
"Farewell!"
Lin Xuan chuckled, cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Yao, and stood up to leave.
This woman thinks she can get me to work for her just because she has a low-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique. It's utterly ridiculous.
Even if he were to lack cultivation techniques or martial arts skills, he wouldn't accept Yun Yao's suggestion just because of that.
"Commander Lin..."
Yun Yao was immediately confused, wondering what Lin Xuan was up to!
Seeing that Lin Xuan had already turned around and was about to leave the pavilion, Yun Yao finally couldn't sit still any longer. She immediately stood up and shouted at Lin Xuan, "Commander Lin, please make your request..."
"Lin made no demands."
Lin Xuan sneered: "I have little interest in this Mangshan Secret Realm. Miss Yun Yao, you should find someone else!"
With that, Lin Xuan strode out.
Without lingering at all.
This left Yun Yao completely dumbfounded. Damn it, this bastard isn't playing by the rules!
"Wait, Lin Xuan... If you agree to form an alliance with me to enter the Mangshan Secret Realm, I can offer you a divine spark as a reward?"
Yun Yao gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped, turning to look at Yun Yao, and said coldly, "Miss Yun, do you know what you're saying?"
The so-called divine status is actually the divine position.
There is a God in this world.
The most direct example is that the Eternal Mother, whom the Longevity Cult worships, is herself a deity.
However, it is an evil god.
Moreover, as far as Lin Xuan knew, there were far more than one deity like the Eternal Mother outside Shanhaiguan Pass and in the heavens beyond heaven.
In addition, there are also gods in this native world.
Otherwise, the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty could stop the demonic and evil figures, but they couldn't stop these evil gods.
However, gods do not descend to the mortal realm.
Therefore, not many people know about it. Lin Xuan was also unaware of it before, but since he took command of the First Army, he has frequently visited the Scripture Pavilion and learned many secrets.
It can be said that God is the true pinnacle of existence in this world.
Divinity is the key to becoming a god.
Lin Xuan's pupils had shrunk to a point as he stared directly at Yun Yao.
Yun Yao felt a chill run down her spine.
However, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Lin Xuan, there are gods within the Mangshan Secret Realm, and more than one."
If we join forces, we might just achieve our goal...
I see!
Lin Xuan finally understood why Yun Yao, Lei Tianming, and the Longevity Sect were all trying so hard to enter the Mangshan Secret Realm.
Lei Tianming even went so far as to condone the Longevity Cult's blood sacrifice in an attempt to open the Mangshan Secret Realm ahead of schedule.
It seems that the root of all this is divinity.
Opening the secret realm ahead of time is about seizing the initiative.
Unfortunately, neither Lei Tianming nor the people of the Changsheng Sect expected that he would lead his men back to Fengle City from Shanhaiguan.
Their carefully laid plans were foiled.
He even lost his life.
A thousand thoughts flashed through Lin Xuan's mind, but he quickly figured them all out.
He stared at Yun Yao meaningfully for a long while before waving his hand, taking out a piece of jade and tossing it to her, saying, "When the secret realm is about to open, crush this, and I will sense it..."
After saying that, Lin Xuan stopped talking and left Tingfeng Pavilion with Tie Dachui.
This woman is no good.
She had a very strong subordinate, but when the Longevity Sect was wreaking havoc throughout Xiangchu Prefecture, she didn't come out to stop them at all.
It's obvious that they share the same thoughts as Lei Tianming.
They wanted to use the Longevity Sect to open the Mangshan Secret Realm ahead of schedule.
The first reason Lin Xuan agreed to cooperate with her was that Yun Yao and Lei Tianming were still somewhat different.
Lei Tianming intervened and colluded with the Longevity Cult.
Yun Yao, at most, stood by and watched, going with the flow. Although her intentions were impure, at least she didn't get involved herself.
Of course, the most important point is that Lin Xuan is certain that Yun Yao is very familiar with the Mangshan Secret Realm.
They know a lot of secrets.
Going in with this woman might help avoid some trouble.
