The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 715 - 223: Stealthily Stealing Home with Spirituality
Yuan Zihe seemed a bit like an unscrupulous insider traitor.
Because Lin Yun had bound her in a rather suggestive way, Yuan Zihe had no choice but to let the Seagrass transform to wrap her entirely, only leaving her head exposed.
Though she looked a bit odd, at least it didn’t seem as provocative now.
As a daughter of the Yuan Family, she couldn’t bear such humiliation.
"My brother is Yuan Zidan, make way immediately," she said.
Not having the time to waste on small talk with the guards, Yuan Zihe fully unleashed the oppressive aura of her Celestial Knowing Realm, to which the ordinary guards naturally couldn’t withstand; they fell to their knees with a thud and hurriedly cleared a path in panic.
At this moment, Yuan Zihe was incredibly domineering.
However, she could only feel majestic for three seconds.
Under the wrapping of the Seagrass, ropes ingeniously transformed by Qiaobian technique bound her hands and feet tightly, leaving her unable to move an inch.
Walking was out of the question; she could only hop forward.
But if she actually did that, wouldn’t it just be social suicide?
She was still awaiting her brother swiftly arriving after receiving her message!
However, after standing still for quite a while, with the onlookers eagerly awaiting her next move, Yuan Zidan still didn’t appear.
Yuan Zihe’s mentality collapsed.
At this point, she wished for even Xiao Qing to show up, let alone Yuan Zidan!
However, Xiao Qing was already hidden nearby, observing Yuan Zihe with great interest, quietly watching what she intended to do.
Spatial Evasion, Xiao Qing had indeed mastered it to perfection.
She stood right in front of Yuan Zihe, yet Yuan Zihe remained oblivious.
Xiao Qing could have easily taken Yuan Zihe back by now, but she had delayed doing so to satisfy her playful nature. It was only upon arriving in Haizhou and recalling her master’s teachings to be cautious in all matters that she did not reveal herself rashly, instead hiding her presence and following Yuan Zihe, silently observing the developments.
Should she encounter an enemy she couldn’t handle, she was also ready with Spatial Evasion, prepared to leave at any moment.
Though not as steady as Lin Yun, Xiao Qing did pick up a few tricks after all.
Standing awkwardly to one side for a long time, no one from the Yuan Family came to fetch Yuan Zihe, who was beginning to question her life.
What happened to waging a war for me?
I came back myself, and no one cares?
Become dark then, this matter after all wasn’t a small one.
Sensing her master’s increasingly anxious mood, the Seagrass consoled, "Master, don’t be angry, they might have more important matters to deal with."
"Of course I know, but, in their hearts, is there something more important than me?" Yuan Zihe retorted resentfully, leaving the Seagrass silent.
At that moment, the Seagrass suddenly thought of Zhen Li, the gentle Daoist nun who always spoke to it with such consideration never treating it as an inferior being.
The Seagrass didn’t understand why it had gained a friend and successfully returned to its master’s side, but why had double the happiness turned into the current situation?
Yuan Zihe didn’t mean to lash out at the Seagrass; she was just venting her frustrations. After venting, she decided not to wait any longer and made her way directly into the city.
She wanted to see what was so important that Yuan Zidan didn’t come to fetch her, and why no one else from the Yuan Family had appeared.
However, just as she had started with a leap, soaring midair, a loud explosion came from the direction of the city’s north.
Yuan Zihe looked into the distance and saw the northern city wall collapse thunderously as the Snow Maiden, leading the Grassland Warriors, charged in. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
In that moment, Yuan Zihe finally understood what had happened in Haizhou City.
The Grassland People are attacking—the city gates have fallen!
Where is Yuan Zidan?
Could he have already been defeated and killed?
Watching Snow Maiden burst into the city as if it were uninhabited, Yuan Zihe also sensed trouble brewing.
With Yuan Zidan’s whereabouts unknown, staying here would only mean one more death; it would be better to flee at once.
As for the other members of the Yuan Family...
Yuan Zihe wanted to save them too, but she knew she couldn’t; she could only preserve her own life force.
"Father, Mother, Brother, I will avenge you!"
Yuan Zihe silently vowed in her heart, then sprung up to leave.
At that moment, Snow Maiden, who was ravaging the city in search of enemies, suddenly frowned, feeling an intuition inside her. She fiercely threw Fulong out.
The hoop instantly enlarged and landed accurately around Yuan Zihe’s neck, snaring the girl effortlessly.
As Snow Maiden captured Yuan Zihe, Xiao Qing made her move.
With the move Azure Dragon Claw, she silently snatched the Classic of Mountains and Seas from Yuan Zihe’s embrace.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas did not resist Xiao Qing’s touch; once in her hands, it seemed very obedient.
Yuan Zihe hadn’t noticed the theft, and even if she had, she had no mind to care about the Classic of Mountains and Seas at the moment.
Right then, the ferocious and cold Snow Maiden was sizing her up, her gaze like knives slicing back and forth over her body, making Yuan Zihe feel although she was still alive, she was already a corpse.
"How is it that his possession is with you?"
Even though Qiaobian had already transformed into a rope, Snow Maiden recognized it at a glance. There was a resonance between Fulong and Qiaobian—one a hoop, the other a spear. They complemented each other perfectly, sensing one another within a certain range to combine forces in battle, more than doubling their combat power.
It had been a long time since Snow Maiden had seen Lin Yun—a couple of months, which might mean little to a cultivator.
In the mountains, without regard for the passing of days; in the depths of winter, one does not notice the years go by.
But for Snow Maiden, it was different.
She was a girl freshly in love, yearning for her lover—with a day apart feeling like three long months.
Not seeing him for such a long time, Snow Maiden had even thought about abandoning the army to find Lin Yun. Had it not been for the occasional letters he sent her, telling her what he was up to, she probably would have lost control of herself by now.
This surprise attack on the city was also initiated after receiving a message from Lin Yun.
Yuan Zidan felt his arrangements were thorough, having even had someone impersonate him and close the gates to avoid combat, thinking Snow Maiden wouldn’t opt for a direct assault.
However, Snow Maiden had already received firsthand intelligence from Lin Yun, who instructed her to launch an immediate assault.
If Yuan Zidan wasn’t there, then Haizhou would fall instantly. If he was, it would mean he did not intend to keep his appointment to save his sister, and in that case, it would be time for Lin Yu and Flower Fairy to take a trip.
This contest among the four kings was drawing to a close.
Though it concluded somewhat hastily.
Snow Maiden followed the plan, and indeed, Haizhou City crumbled without a fight, lacking any capable defenders.
Snow Maiden had already thought about how she would find Lin Yun to report her success. Unexpectedly, she now had also captured a woman carrying Qiaobian en route.
Yuan Zihe was still bound by Qiaobian, her allegiance, enemy or ally, now clear.
Still, her appearance made Snow Maiden feel uneasy.
Yuan Zihe was already subdued, so why was she able to escape, especially with Lin Yun’s Divine Artifact?
Could it be that something had happened to Lin Yun?
