The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 760 - 268 I Have an Immortal Friend

Netherworld Realm, Reincarnation Well.

Qian Qian began to doubt life itself.

According to the Minotaur, the bet Qian Qian made with Lin Yun before meant that she had lost.

Could there really be such a thing as a jinx?

Should we try speaking in reverse next time?

"...The depths of reincarnation have already been closed off, and if five gods were to join forces, opening a passageway for reincarnation large enough for one person to travel through wouldn’t be difficult. You’ve helped me and Meng Po, so naturally we’re willing to lend a hand. However, we’re still one god short, and that’s something you’ll have to figure out on your own,"

the Minotaur said candidly, with Meng Po nodding her head in agreement, showing her willingness to help.

With their assistance, success seemed not so far away.

They just needed to find one more god.

Lin Yun also felt that activating the Reincarnation Well was seemingly much less challenging than expected, but the Minotaur’s words gave him a sense of unease.

Just find one more person and it would be a success?

I don’t believe you for a second!

This was an old trick, making it seem like success was just within reach, who knows what other twists might occur after a new Divine Spirit is found.

What’s more, finding another Divine Spirit was not going to be an easy task.

In the Mortal Realm, the only Divine Spirits that still existed were Qian Qian and Su’e, and Su’e was sealed, effectively leaving only Qian Qian.

The Desolate Ruins did have a few Divine Spirits, but Lin Yun couldn’t possibly pull them over to help.

Qian Qian and the Snow Maiden were also pondering who could lend a hand, but even after going through their entire circle of friends, they couldn’t find a suitable candidate.

At this time, the Minotaur offered a suggestion.

"If you don’t have any Divine Spirit friends around you, perhaps you could try seeking the help of a Divine Spirit from the Netherworld Realm. However, the compensation they’ll require will be far from simple,"

the Minotaur suggested as if hinting at the price that needed to be paid.

The Snow Maiden felt the Minotaur’s suggestion was good and was eager to agree, but with Lin Yun by her side, she subconsciously turned to him for support.

With Lin Yun there, she didn’t have to think too much about it.

As for Qian Qian, she was just a hired fist there to assist, and she suddenly thought that she too could ask Lin Yun for a reward, making a mental note of it.

When it came to decisions, that was Snow Maiden’s business, and it wasn’t Qian Qian’s place to agree.

Of course, if she didn’t want to take the risk, she also had the right to refuse.

The Minotaur noticed that both Divine Spirits were looking to a Mortal, and followed their gaze towards Lin Yun.

He had certainly noticed Lin Yun’s extraordinary nature and didn’t underestimate him because he was a Mortal.

If Lin Yun had truly been an ordinary Mortal, he wouldn’t have been able to harm him, nor would he have awakened him and Meng Po from their loss of control.

Both Divine Spirits deferring to him spoke volumes of how Lin Yun was far from being as simple as he appeared.

Seeing the Snow Maiden’s hopeful eyes, Lin Yun knew how much she wanted to activate the Reincarnation Well in order to send Zhang Biyu on her path of reincarnation.

Thinking about how Zhang Biyu was actually the Snow Maiden’s mother, and how the Snow Maiden had been an orphan for so many years, and now, even after failing to possess her, still wanted to send her off, Lin Yun couldn’t help but admire the Snow Maiden’s innocence and kindness.

If it were him, not to mention escorting Zhang Biyu’s True Spirit to reincarnate, he would be considered merciful just for not letting her die on the spot, shattering her soul, and scattering her ashes.

However, the Snow Maiden rarely asked anything of him, and Lin Yun did not have the heart to disappoint her, so he nodded.

The Minotaur’s lips curved slightly upward, as if murmuring a pleased "heck yeah" to himself.

But he probably celebrated too early, because Lin Yun said, "Funny thing, I happen to have some connections with the Lord of Wugui City. Why don’t we ask him for some help?"

At the mention of Wugui City, both Meng Po and the Minotaur’s expressions shifted subtly, revealing an odd look.

Lin Yun, with a smile, asked, "What’s wrong, is there something inconvenient?"

The Minotaur quickly regained his composure and said with an honest smile, "Nothing, it’s just a bit strange, that’s all. I’ve heard that Wugui City is a place of sealing, containing a rogue Divine Spirit. Her power is incredibly strong, but she’s unstable.

When I heard you had a connection with her, I thought the rumors might be false, and I was a bit shocked. Please excuse my reaction."

Qian Qian couldn’t help but internally scoff, the Minotaur clearly thought Lin Yun was spouting nonsense, yet he didn’t call him out directly. Instead, he claimed the rumors he’d heard were false. This Minotaur had a high EQ indeed!

But what exactly was Lin Yun plotting?

They had no relationship with Dongfang Ming, and indeed, Wugui City was dangerous, the entire city his domain, filled with a fierce and terrifying aura. Even she wasn’t confident she could defeat Dongfang Ming in Wugui City.

Qian Qian knew Lin Yun was cunning... a person with deep schemes, and he must have a hidden agenda. Right now, she kept her mouth shut.

Since her words had been blessed once, it was best to speak less.

Seeing the Minotaur’s reaction, Lin Yun knew his mention of the Lord of Wugui City had disrupted the Minotaur’s plans. There were many Divine Spirits in the Netherland, and the Minotaur’s arrangements would likely exclude the nearly insane Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming wasn’t out of control or mad; her soul was just twisted.

However, since she was twisted enough to be near madness, others naturally wouldn’t care if her madness was real or feigned. Since Dongfang Ming couldn’t leave Wugui City, she didn’t have much impact on other Divine Spirits, who also didn’t bother to interact with her.

It was risky to have deep interactions with such an abnormal Divine Spirit.

This was the advantage given to Lin Yun by the chaos of spacetime; having ventured through the Netherland, this piece of knowledge had come in handy.

Although he had disrupted the Minotaur’s rhythm, he didn’t relax.

It was clear the Minotaur had his own calculations. So, had he set a trap in advance, or was this a spur-of-the-moment decision?

Lin Yun suspected the former was more likely and found the thought chilling.

Fortunately, Lin Yun was well-versed in handling major situations, his mind alert like a ringing alarm. He remained impassive and said casually, "Actually, you’re not wrong. My friend does have a somewhat strange and intense personality. I have to be very careful when dealing with her, so such rumors are unsurprising."

Qian Qian: "..."

This guy, he’s deceiving a god! No, tricking a spirit.

He didn’t have any sort of relationship with Dongfang Ming; she didn’t even know there was such a person as him.

But Lin Yun spoke as if it were true, and the Minotaur believed him.

His honest smile became somewhat stiff as he said, "We’re quite a distance from Wugui City still. We’d have to cross several major cities; it’s rather far. Since I’m helping, might as well help to the end. I’m on good terms with a few nearby city lords, so why don’t I ask them for help?"

See, he was getting anxious.

Lin Yun replied casually, "No need, we might not be able to offer a suitable reward."

"You’ve saved our lives; I’ll take care of the reward for asking for help!" the Minotaur insisted earnestly, his willingness only underscoring his ulterior motives.

If he had been so forthcoming from the start, Lin Yun might have agreed.

After all, who could refuse the joy of a free ride?

But now, he refused!
