Chapter 42: Phantom at the Bottom of the Lake
This world is so crazy that Lin Yun even feels like he is dreaming.
Is it so exaggerated?
Yesterday the world was at peace, but when I woke up, there was a world war.
As expected of the world of cultivating immortals, the movements are fast.
"So we have to go to war with the demon tribe too?"
Lin Yun was a little worried.
He had never been to the battlefield in person, and he didn't know what war in the world of immortal cultivation was like, but the only thing associated with war was the word death.
"Why, you don't want to be an enemy of Bai Jiaojiao?"
Dongfang Hongyue started to feel jealous again.
Then, she pouted and said, "Don't worry, just stay in the Yellow Wind Valley. I won't let you go out to fight."
"I'm just worried about you."
Lin Yun played a straight ball. If he was also vague when facing a little arrogant like Dongfang Hongyue, when would he be able to practice dual cultivation with her again!
So, as a man, you should be more decisive.
As expected, Dongfang Hongyue was a little flustered when she heard this, and said angrily: "Why should I worry about you? You might as well worry more about your Bai Jiaojiao. If she dies in the war, you will suffer a great loss."
"She is not mine, you are mine."
"Traitor! How dare you speak nonsense like that!"
Dongfang Hongyue blushed. No one had ever dared to talk to her like this.
"Then I was wrong. I am yours."
"Bah, I don't want you."
Dongfang Hongyue started to act arrogantly again, but Lin Yun just smiled.
A beautiful day starts with teasing the master.
"The teacher is tired, don't look for me if you have nothing else."
Dongfang Hongyue became even more flustered when she saw Lin Yun's smile, and was about to end the conversation. Lin Yun quickly said, "Wait."
"how?"
Dongfang Hongyue did not stop the spell immediately.
"Give me a kiss."
Lin Yun blew Dongfang Hongyue a kiss.
As long as you don't die, work yourself to death.
The people of Dongfang Hongyue were dumbfounded.
This traitor, isn’t he afraid of me?
She put away the spell expressionlessly, and when Lin Yun could no longer be seen, Dongfang Hongyue rubbed her face, which felt a little hot.
"Oh no, I've fallen into his trap again."
Dongfang Hongyue suddenly became alert again. She had noticed that something was wrong with Lin Yun before.
Anything related to Lin Yun would make her lose her mind.
Dongfang Hongyue felt terrified. She had been practicing Taoism for three hundred years and had lost her mortal emotions long ago during her long career as a monastic. But now, she would get angry and shy because of Lin Yun's words and actions, just like those mortal girls who were in love.
If this trend continues, sooner or later, she will become a plaything in Lin Yun's hands, just like the day of dual cultivation, when her body and soul will instinctively yearn for Lin Yun.
Well, although she didn't lose in the end.
After completing his daily task of teasing his master, Lin Yun began to rest.
Hongling began to hunt for spies in Huangfeng Valley. On that day, five undercover agents were caught and paraded through the streets.
After the parade, Hongling also announced strategies for dealing with these undercover agents.
"I know that some of you are spies from other sects, but it doesn't matter. I will give you one day. Before tomorrow night, take the initiative to come forward and confess. Live a good life in Yellow Wind Valley in the future. We will not pursue anything in the past. That's all I have to say. Everyone, take care of yourselves. As for these spies, they will be executed by burning at the stake tomorrow night, and everyone can come to watch the ceremony."
Listening to Hongling's words, Wang Wanqiu, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but be moved.
Burning by fire is one of the most cruel punishments. It is not so easy for practitioners to be burned to death, so they can feel the pain of being burned by fire more.
She thought of Lin Yun. Instead of letting Lin Yun be burned to death, it would be better to give him a quick death.
It is better to die at the hands of your own people than to be insulted by the enemy.
With this determination, Wang Wanqiu retreated from the crowd.
She decided to assassinate Lin Yun tonight.
Lin Yun: "Thank you so much."
At night, Lin Yun was still trapped in the water. In order not to highlight his uniqueness, other people also enjoyed this treatment, but they did not have the ability to practice in the water.
The people of Yellow Wind Valley didn't know that after nightfall, monsters from all directions rushed towards Yellow Wind Valley...
The sea of spiritual fluid in Lin Yun's body was now full.
In fact, he can now start trying to cultivate his spirit.
After cultivating the soul, he can use more spells, but Lin Yun enjoys practicing Qi.
He wanted to make a golden elixir.
Not for anything else, just want a challenge.
The Qinglong Gu was still working tirelessly to absorb Lin Yun's spiritual energy, so the other spies didn't know that Lin Yun was practicing.
Suddenly, Lin Yun heard a faint call.
He opened his eyes and listened attentively. The calling voice seemed to come from under the water.
Lin Yun suddenly felt unwell.
He remembered the stone tablet he saw at the beginning. There must be some strange thing suppressed underneath it. Now that this thing is calling him, he always feels that it is not a good thing.
It could be an opportunity, or it could be a disaster.
Should I go or not?
It is said that wealth and honor are achieved through risk, but Dongfang Hongyue just told him yesterday that he should act more cautiously.
“When you can’t make a decision, just leave it to God’s will.”
Lin Yun took out a copper coin, threw it out and caught it again.
I thought to myself, if it’s the front side, I’ll go down, but if it’s the back side, I won’t go down.
I caught it and looked at it. Oh wow, it’s the front.
"One more time to confirm God's will."
Positive again.
Lin Yun: “…”
It's not that he was unwilling to go down, but it was a bit mysterious to have faced each other twice in a row.
"Best of five games, best of three, that's safe."
Lin Yun was actually a little panicked.
This time it was positive.
Is this God's will, or is it something down there that is controlling it?
"Well, this time it's the other side so go down."
Lin Yun muttered something quietly, and typed it out again, and this time it finally came out the opposite side.
Lin Yun: “…”
It's really weird!
"If I go down now, people might get suspicious, so it's better not to go."
Lin Yun deliberately whispered to himself, and sure enough, the next second, he heard a clearer voice, which seemed to be a little angry.
"You don't keep your word!"
Lin Yun: “…”
So what kind of ghost did he offend...
"I'll wait for you underwater!"
This sound kept repeating in Lin Yun's mind. He couldn't help but cover his ears, but he couldn't block out the sound.
At this time, his body also passed through the water prison and slowly sank, but Lin Yun did not notice it at all.
By the time he overcame the demonic voice in his head and realized he was already underwater, it was too late.
There was a strong suction force under the water, pulling him downwards.
Lin Yun couldn't struggle free, so he had to accept his fate.
Soon, Lin Yun reached the bottom of the water.
This time, he appeared directly near the altar.
It was dark under the water, but it was bright near the altar, as bright as moonlight.
In addition to the floating beads, there was also a woman in white standing on the altar.
She was just a shadow, and seemed somewhat transparent.
Could this be a female ghost?
"You are finally here..."
Lin Yun: “…”
Is that what I wanted?
