The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 732 - 240 Words Followed by Actions

The person he wanted to kill had just delivered themselves to his door, happiness came so suddenly that Tai Bai almost didn’t react in time.

After a moment of stupefaction, he responded to the prayers of Yu Linglong, "Granted!"

Since Lin Yun had come to him, life and death were now within her mere thoughts.

Meeting Lin Yun was not a bad idea after all.

Tai Bai’s voice echoed in the heart of Yu Linglong, who hastily bowed in the direction of the Tai Bai Divine Temple before saying to Lin Yun, "His Majesty has agreed to meet you, follow me!"

Her voice remained haughty, but the look she gave Lin Yun now contained a measure of caution, not as dismissive as she had been at the start.

Lin Yun nodded and followed behind her, allowing the subjects of White Emperor City to watch vigorously.

Upon reaching the Tai Bai Divine Temple, the Forbidden Guard Army no longer advanced, leaving only Yu Linglong to lead Lin Yun and Qian Qian up one staircase after another.

"This divine temple really highlights three words."

Climbing the steps was getting boring, so Lin Yun started to chat with Qian Qian.

"Which three words?"

"High, grand, and sophisticated."

"How much effort must have gone into this?"

Qian Qian envied such a luxurious palace, for she did not have one like it.

"I reckon it must have taken two or three years’ worth of effort!"

Lin Yun was estimating based on his own capabilities.

But upon hearing this, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but let out a scoff. She had just been defeated by Lin Yun and was somewhat unwilling to accept it. Now that an opportunity had arisen, she naturally wouldn’t let it pass.

"The palace His Majesty resides in was built by one hundred thousand of the most devout followers, who worked day and night, sparing a hundred years to complete its intricate processes, not something that mortals could accomplish."

Yu Linglong did not directly mock, but her explanation was filled with a tone of mockery.

Lin Yun was not annoyed, but merely smiled and said, "Speaking of which, your surname is also Yu; I wonder if you’re acquainted with Yu Jiaolong? As it happens, she and I have some entanglements."

"Princess Your Highness? How would you know her?"

Yu Linglong was somewhat shocked upon hearing the name Yu Jiaolong.

Yu Jiaolong had always lived in the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, only leaving once during a military campaign. If Lin Yun knew Yu Jiaolong, it could only have been on that occasion.

Clearly an outsider, what exactly was Lin Yun’s relationship with Yu Jiaolong?

Yu Linglong couldn’t help but harbor some suspicions. Lin Yun did not hide anything and indifferently said, "She once led some people to our world and was conveniently captured by me. She was my prisoner of war until she took advantage of my inattention to flee back here. Is she doing well now?"

Yu Linglong: "..."

This brat, he definitely came to cause trouble!

Yu Linglong secretly gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, and said, "You certainly have the audacity. Do you think our Emperor’s sword is not sharp enough?"

"How could I? I’ve long heard that the Tai Bai Divine Emperor’s swordsmanship is peerless in the world. How could I dare to offend him? It’s just that I have long admired him from afar and specially came for a visit. By the way, General Yu, you haven’t told me your relationship with Yu Jiaolong yet!"

Lin Yun, assuming the appearance of a graceful young man, remained gentle and kind, regardless of Yu Linglong’s attitude.

Qian Qian felt a chill run down her spine as she observed this. Having spent so much time with Lin Yun, she naturally knew what sort of person he was.

Gentleness and kindness were not false, but when he was overly compliant with someone, it was mostly because his schemes had begun.

This person’s heart was wicked indeed!

No doubt about it, he was a smiling tiger.

Even if Yu Linglong found Lin Yun disagreeable, there was an old saying, "One does not slap the smiling face." Full of anger though she was, it was not suitable to erupt in fury.

It was a trivial matter for her to lose face herself, but if outsiders were to think that the people of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom lacked manners, that would be a sin too grave to escape.

"I have no relation to the Princess. It was because of my meritorious achievements that I was favored by His Majesty and granted the Yu surname," she replied.

"So, your Emperor’s surname is Yu?"

"How dare you!"

Yu Linglong was so angry that she reached for her sword again. Lin Yun’s words were a serious act of disrespect towards the Divine Spirit, but as she instinctively moved to draw her sword, she realized she no longer had it.

It had been shattered by Lin Yun earlier, and she had not found a replacement in the meantime.

"Linglong, step back."

From within the Divine Temple came a majestic and solemn voice. Yu Linglong’s heart, full of anger, was now extinguished by the voice. She bowed towards the direction of the Divine Temple before stepping back with her waist bent, retreating backwards.

Lin Yun, seeing how respectfully she treated the Divine Spirit, said to Qian Qian by his side, "Imagine if she missteps and falls, wouldn’t that be a terrible tumble?"

The Tai Bai Divine Temple was perched atop nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, a symbol of the unparalleled majesty of the Tai Bai Divine Emperor.

Surely, a fall from such a height would be dreadful.

Qian Qian responded without words, finding fault, "That general is of commendable cultivation level, and these steps hold no prohibitions; how could she possibly fall?"

While logically sound, as the steps before the Tai Bai Divine Temple held no particular power, and Yu Linglong was a general of supreme cultivation, it seemed unlikely she would fall while retreating backwards.

However, no sooner had Qian Qian spoken than it seemed as if some mysterious force controlled Yu Linglong—her left foot tripped over her right, causing her to suddenly reel backwards.

If it had been any other place, she might have lost her balance but still been able to cast a spell for control; but here, in front of the Tai Bai Divine Temple, Yu Linglong instinctively refrained from casting spells, resulting in her tumbling down the steps, rolling twice before standing up.

Tai Bai: "..."

What kind of clown is this? Embarrassing!

Lin Yun: "..."

Qian Qian, champion of the curse!

Qian Qian: "..."

Yu Linglong, overwhelmed with shame, could hardly make sense of her thoughts. After bowing to the Divine Temple to apologize, she quickly left.

Lin Yun gained a new appreciation of Qian Qian’s ability to make her words come true.

So far, her curses had never missed their mark.

While she was merely an ordinary Divine Spirit, she now gave the impression of a taboo Divine Spirit.

"Friends from afar, please come in!"

Tai Bai acted as if he didn’t see his subordinate’s clumsy handling, as the doors of the Divine Temple slowly opened, inviting Lin Yun and Qian Qian to enter.

These two guests were indeed extraordinary, one of them was even a Divine Spirit.

This deity wasn’t particularly powerful but was bold enough to dare to intrude into her Divine Country.

Was she not afraid of death?

Or did she have some reliance, thinking that she couldn’t be touched by Tai Bai?

Thinking this, Tai Bai tried to calculate but failed to detect any anomalies.

If she were to make a move, she could definitely kill Qian Qian.

This was very suspicious.

And what about a deity presenting herself at her doorstep?

Tai Bai thought about it and calculated what would happen if she made a move against Lin Yun.

After calculating, she felt a premonition of danger, a threat looming over her head.

"Indeed, there’s something off about both this lad and the deity."

Tai Bai analyzed the situation calmly and quickly came to a conclusion.

Qian Qian certainly had some method to shield her destiny; she and Lin Yun had come to the Tai Bai Divine Country with reliance. Tai Bai couldn’t calculate Qian Qian’s fate, but calculating Lin Yun’s was dangerous, which was enough to prove this point.

Tai Bai secretly rejoiced at her prudence and resisted the urge to strike at Lin Yun.

She didn’t know that Qian Qian was equally panicked at this moment.

This was the Tai Bai Divine Emperor!

Why did she have the courage to confront Tai Bai in the Tai Bai Divine Emperor’s own country?

It was all Lin Yun’s fault!

Now she was on a thief’s ship and couldn’t get off even if she wanted to.

Qian Qian was completely tense; at any sign of abnormality from Tai Bai, she would act first, taking Lin Yun and leaving the Tai Bai Divine Country.

Otherwise, she didn’t even know if she would have the opportunity to rescue Lin Yun.

After a silent duel from afar, amidst a series of thumping footsteps, they finally met.

Inside the Tai Bai Divine Temple, the décor was very simple, devoid of any flamboyant adornments, just a vast, empty hall with pillars engraved with fierce tigers in different poses, and Tai Bai sitting in the central chair.

Different from their last meeting, Tai Bai now had a head full of silver hair.

But her face remained as youthful as before, her skin still tender and lustrous.

Silver hair, I like it!

When Lin Yun saw Tai Bai, he entertained blasphemous thoughts.

Tai Bai, however, was startled upon seeing Lin Yun.

It wasn’t because she recognized him from over a hundred thousand years ago, but because she sensed the aura of Canglan on him.

She knew Canglan wasn’t dead yet, but also wasn’t far from dying.

Her followers had lost their faith, and the God Realm of Canglan was on the brink of collapse.

Unfortunately, faith wasn’t something Tai Bai could help with, even herself.

But now, sensing Canglan on Lin Yun

It wasn’t just her aura!

Tai Bai’s Divine Power focused on her eyes as she scrutinized Lin Yun, her gaze finally resting on his heart.

There was the source of Canglan’s aura.

Upon closer inspection, Tai Bai was even more shocked.

She thought Lin Yun was merely associated with Canglan, that they shared karma, which was why he carried Canglan’s aura.

But to think that Canglan had wholly taken shelter within Lin Yun!

In that case, Lin Yun couldn’t be killed; he was an ally!

If Canglan was in such a state and she were to kill Lin Yun, Canglan would also perish.

Of course, Tai Bai couldn’t bring herself to harm her old friend.

Lin Yun, being scrutinized by Tai Bai like this, also felt somewhat uneasy, feeling as if he was being seen through.

But, thinking of the Statue of Qing Nu in his Dantian, Lin Yun felt more confident.

If you’re capable, try to see right through my Dantian, but be careful you don’t get the shock of your life.

"I have seen the Tai Bai Divine Emperor."

Lin Yun came here seeking allies, so his demeanor was naturally friendly.

Qian Qian was different and merely said, "Tai Bai senior, I’ve long admired your great reputation."

To Qian Qian, Tai Bai was indeed a senior, so addressing her as such didn’t cause any loss of dignity.

Tai Bai’s gaze moved between the two for a while before she finally stopped and said, "You have come from afar for a purpose. Speak plainly, there is no need for euphemisms."

Tai Bai’s nature was straightforward; although she had deep thoughts, she did not enjoy playing convoluted games with others.

With absolute power in hand, she preferred to be direct.

Lin Yun liked this trait as well.

"Since Your Majesty has put it this way, Lin here will not beat around the bush. We have come for one issue alone."

Lin Yun looked up at the Tai Bai Divine Emperor; she sat so high that speaking with her required looking up.

At this moment, Lin Yun did not mind her having the upper hand.

"A great calamity approaches, and Your Majesty may also have sensed it. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to join us to overcome this tribulation together?"
