The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 761 - 269: Don’t Hesitate, Just Do It

The Minotaur thought it was being cautious in its actions, so there was no reason for Lin Yun to discern anything.

But Lin Yun had wandered the jianghu until now, precisely because he didn’t play by the rules.

Our deductions never relied on evidence either.

"Why should I trouble you to owe a favor? Although Wugui City is far away, it’s been a long time since I saw that friend of mine—just the right time to catch up on old times," Lin Yun said.

With the conversation reaching that point, even the slowest person would realize something was amiss. The smiles on the faces of the Minotaur and Meng Po gradually receded, turning somewhat gloomy.

The atmosphere became tense. Liu Ji silently gripped the longsword in his hand; he had been a mere spectator in the earlier fight, offering no help. If he had to step in now, he just hoped that he could deliver his strongest blow. Even if it only created a slight opportunity for Lin Yun and the others, it would be worth it.

Only the Snow Maiden still looked blankly at Lin Yun, wondering when he had made friends in the Netherworld Realm. It seemed he had a quite comfortable life during her absence!

The Minotaur stared at Lin Yun, its eyes revealing neither happiness nor anger, just a trickle of Divine Might slowly seeping out. Lin Yun didn’t flinch, looking back calmly at the Minotaur’s eyes.

The silent standoff lasted for a few minutes until the Minotaur finally realized it could not use its pressure to make Lin Yun submit.

After much thought, it finally chose to give up, "Since you insist on being so courteous, Meng Po and I will wait here for your return. I wish you safe travels."

The phrase "safe travels" was laced with clear malice, akin to a declaration of hostility. Even the Snow Maiden sensed something was off.

Lin Yun remained calm, saying, "Let’s not rush. Didn’t we just mention a second matter of interest to us? Regarding the resentment of souls, let’s discuss it first before we leave. Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy."

The Minotaur: "..."

I have never seen such a shameless person!

He’s about to leave, and he still thinks about getting a freebie.

We almost came to blows just a moment ago, how can he have the nerve?

Is his face really made of cowhide?

In fact, during the previous eye contact, the Minotaur had several urges to lash out in anger, but every time the thought arose, it felt a chill on its neck.

That was a warning sign!

The stronger the Divine Spirit, the clearer its sense of fate would be. Even if one couldn’t foresee everything, there would be a certain intuition about how one’s decisions were linked to one’s life and death.

That was the reason the Minotaur refrained from taking action.

It felt if it did lash out, the one to die wouldn’t be Lin Yun, but itself.

Lin Yun was just a mortal, yet how had he managed this?

The Minotaur was wary in its heart, ultimately agreeing to Lin Yun’s request.

After all, it had already agreed to it before.

But it had mentioned these secrets initially just to bait them.

Now, not only had it failed to catch any fish, but it also had its bait stolen. Losing a piece of bait was one thing, but now it was about to lose another.

Is there anyone so overbearing?

"The resentment of souls concentrates here because this place is the end of the road of reincarnation. The dead souls eventually arrive here, unable to be reincarnated, which naturally breeds resentment.

These grudges persist over a long time and, under the influence of the Reincarnation Well, accumulate more and more, leading to today’s situation," explained the Minotaur begrudgingly, which was a rather perfunctory explanation.

The production of resentment from all living beings is simple. These resentments were not artificially amassed; they formed naturally, and the process of their formation was also quite reasonable.

This pure, enormous resentment, constrained by the Reincarnation Well, kept condensing. The most intense part was on the periphery, already condensed into a solid state, even developing consciousness and knowing to avoid Lin Yun’s fire.

Whereas the inner layers were still yellow fog. If the yellow fog continued to condense, it could also turn black.

Following this trend, one day, the resentment here will explode and cause devastating disasters.

Everything that has happened can be traced back, but the Minotaur deliberately concealed some key information.

By revealing just this much, he has fulfilled his promise, and the intelligence he let slip isn’t too much.

It seems that Lin Yun should know when to stop and not get entangled with them any further. Although everyone parted on bad terms, at least a conflict was avoided.

However, what Lin Yun does best is playing by his own rules.

"I have another question to ask."

Minotaur: "..."

This man’s face is thicker than the walls of the Reincarnation Well.

But since I’ve said so much already, let him ask whatever he wants; I can just casually answer. Even if I lie, Lin Yun probably wouldn’t dare to confront me.

"Go ahead and ask,"

said the Minotaur confidently.

"I want to ask, despite saving you, why did you naturally think of scheming against us?"

As these words left Lin Yun, the atmosphere suddenly froze. The Minotaur never expected Lin Yun to be so direct, and Lin Yun continued, "Was this premeditated, or was it a spur-of-the-moment decision? If it was premeditated, what would you have done if we were unable to restore your sanity?"

"If it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, what made you so ungrateful that you wanted to act against us?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Qian Qian was dumbfounded on the spot, wondering since when had Lin Yun become so bold?

Such a question, neither the Minotaur nor Meng Po would likely answer directly!

Goodness, could it be that he inhaled too much of the yellow fog and became impulsive? What should they do now?

Qian Qian didn’t feel confident that she, together with the Snow Maiden, could defeat the Minotaur and Meng Po, especially since this was the Netherworld, someone else’s territory; they needed to be cautious.

But she quickly had a brainwave, pulling Lin Yun aside: "Why would you expose this now? They might still have accomplices, possibly lying in ambush nearby!"

This move, oh, this was Qian Qian deliberately trying reverse psychology.

Seeing the interaction between Lin Yun and Qian Qian, the Minotaur couldn’t help but snort coldly.

"Since you’ve seen through us, there’s no point in hiding any longer. Come out, Impermanence!"

With the Minotaur’s call, another tall figure emerged from the yellow fog.

Impermanence looked the most human-like, but his facial expressions were extremely twisted—half kindly, half fierce, half black, and half white.

His presence was the strongest among the three Gods of the Netherworld.

Seeing Impermanence appear, Qian Qian immediately felt her heart sink.

I was only using reverse psychology, so why did it have to come true this time?

Qian Qian felt as though she was being targeted.

Impermanence’s gaze swept over everyone and landed on Lin Yun, where his look subtly changed.

Unexpectedly, in this place, he had encountered an old acquaintance. What he thought would be a 3v2 now seemed more like a 3v3.

He had dealt with Lin Yun before and had determined Lin Yun to be the reincarnation of a Divine Spirit.

There was no need to escalate a minor conflict from before, but this time he was after something significant, and of course, he wasn’t going to let Lin Yun get in the way again.

Even if Lin Yun was also a God, there was no reason for them to be fearful.

Lin Yun couldn’t possibly be the reincarnation of a Divine Emperor, could he?
