The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 852 - 358: Fishing Enforcement

Lin Yun immediately noticed something off about Lord Yama, though his face was unfamiliar, there was still a somewhat familiar feeling to Lin Yun.

Could he be an old acquaintance?

This question also caused Lord Yama to fall silent for a long while before he said, "I am Lord Yama, the ruler of the God of the Netherworld."

"No, I am asking about your original identity."

In his heart, Lin Yun already had an answer, he almost figured out who the other party was. According to the usual pattern, Lin Yun should now play along and pretend to know nothing, since the current situation was more powerful than him and Lin Yun didn’t have enough fighting strength, and Canglan had been provoked away by him.

But this is the joy of having a powerful backing.

Qing Nu is watching from above, what’s there to fear? Just do it!

"Sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."

Lord Yama still did not reveal his own identity, but this was also telling Lin Yun: I know you know who I am, so what, you want to fight?

Lin Yun ignored the other’s provocation, calmly responding: "Your words are mistaken, Sir. Knowing your identity allows me to be on guard, it is much better than being kept in the dark."

The few city lords spectating did not expect Lin Yun to be so bold to be directly confrontational with Lord Yama.

How could he be so brave?

Unable to fathom Lin Yun’s background, they dared not act rashly.

In their eyes, Lin Yun was just a slightly more powerful mortal, nothing special, but since Lin Yun dared to challenge a Divine Spirit, he must have his reliance.

This reliance, naturally, was for Lord Yama to test, while they just watched.

Right now, Lord Yama also felt like he was trapped in a difficult position.

Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have pretended to be formidable, now Lin Yun has called him out, and he really didn’t dare to mess around.

The last time he secretly spied on Lin Yun, a treasure passed down from the Ancient Era was destroyed, and he could see that Lin Yun’s fate was as strong as the descending of the great sun; mocking Lin Yun a few words were fine, but if he truly harbored a killing intent, he’d suffer from backlash by fate before even reaching Lin Yun.

Those who borrowed the power of fate would also have to submit under it.

Lord Yama had no choice but to act as if nothing had happened; after an awkward few seconds, he changed his tune: "You can state your terms now, I only want the Earth Scripture, I do not wish to trouble you."

"You should mention what you can offer as well. What I want might not be something you possess."

"You jest, my Lord has been managing the Netherworld for over a hundred thousand years, I own countless exotic treasures, what could you want that I do not have?"

"I want an artifact that can defeat Qing Nu, do you have it?"

While Lin Yun spoke, he covered Dongfang Hongyue’s ears. All the gods present, upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, covered their heads in pain, even Lord Yama’s complexion changed.

Without being at the level of a Divine Emperor, just hearing those two words would cause headache and the feeling of their heads splitting, and that was just the mild symptom; severe cases could lead to uncontrollable distortion.

Even for Divine Emperors, hearing those two words was not easy, only manageable by deep cultivation.

And Lin Yun had no issues at all, this made Lord Yama envious and resentful.

Why, when they originated from the same root, was Lin Yun favored by the Heavenly Mandate, so deeply cherished by an Innate God, while he faced constant obstacles, his life full of hardships, any plans he made failing easily upon encountering Lin Yun—Lin Yun did not even know he had been scheming in the shadows...

How infuriating!

"You really have guts. In the Netherworld Realm, without a host, His gaze cannot reach here, yet by chanting His name, you stand under His watch."

Lord Yama really wanted to ask, are you stupid!

Secret plotting, ah secret plotting, you say it out loud and let people know, what kind of secret plotting is that anymore!

The Earth Scripture within Lin Yun subtly observed the outside situation, feeling a throbbing pain.

This scene was all too familiar, light a candle for this Lord Yama!

Do you think he dares to plot loudly like this!

They are simply colluding, just flirting here!

You lose if you’re serious!

"Since I dare to say it, of course, I am not afraid of her."

Lin Yun appeared fearless, prompting Lord Yama to ask: "You are highly favored by the Divine, why do you want to confront Him?"

"Living with a tiger naturally requires the skill to fight a tiger, or else when the tiger unleashes its fierce power, wouldn’t one be helplessly devoured?"

Lin Yun compared Qing Nu to a tiger mother, this bold metaphor made Lord Yama couldn’t help but praise him in his heart as a true man.

I would call you the greatest warrior in the world!

But since you’re so brave, I’ll lend you a helping hand!

"There is indeed a method."

Lord Yama felt that the gaze fixed on him had gradually faded.

This is the Netherworld Realm, and since Qing Nu is sealed, even if Lin Yun chanted her name, her gaze here could not linger for too long, it should be almost over now.

As soon as he said that, the Earth Scripture declared his doom.

Lord Yama didn’t know, but he knew.

Lin Yun still had a Statue of Qing Nu in his arms! Even the Netherworld Realm couldn’t block Qing Nu’s line of sight!

It could only slightly delay the effect of her Divine Power.

Sometimes, the Earth Scripture also couldn’t understand what Lin Yun was doing.

It was he who asked how to deal with Qing Nu, but in the end, the one who offended Qing Nu was the one who answered the question.

What a trap!

No matter how Lin Yun messed up, Qing Nu did not bother with him, but she was not so polite to others.

Although Lord Yama had his schemes, he was, after all, the benefactor who could save him, the Earth Scripture really did not hope that the other party would just perish.

Right, I’ll take him and run later!

The Earth Scripture had already thought of a way out, but Lord Yama still hadn’t realized where the crisis lay.

"She is the embodiment of water, the epitome of water, only the epitome of earth can restrain her."

Lord Yama knew quite a lot. From the perspective of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, he proposed a method to deal with Qing Nu.

But it was to no avail.

Practice has proven that the restraining cycle of the Five Elements has its limits.

Water overcomes fire, but when the fire is strong and the water weak, fire can evaporate water.

And the notion that earth overcomes water isn’t exactly correct.

Previously, Lin Yun had read Mr. Yuewei’s Miscellaneous Records, absolutely agreeing that the other party made sense too.

The theory of the generating and restraining cycle of the Five Elements has some reason to it, but is not accurate. Among the Five Elements, water is supreme.

Earth overcoming water, in fact, earth cannot overcome water.

Mortals concluded that earth overcomes water because when water comes, it is blocked by earth. In reality, earth can only block water, not annihilate it, while water can erode earth. Strictly speaking, among the Five Elements, water restrains everything except gold.

This was a theory put forth by Mr. Yuewei, also known as Yuxuan, derived from his practical experiences, and among the Five Great Innate Spirits, Qing Nu is the strongest, which seems to also corroborate Yuxuan’s view.

Now that Lord Yama suggested that earth can overcome water, Lin Yun thought he was talking nonsense.

Not to mention whether he could find the epitome of earth, even if he did, it was unlikely to work against Qing Nu.

Moreover, according to deductions, Zhen Li should represent the Innate Spirit of the earth attribute, that is, Mother Earth.

Combining what the Earth Scripture and Lin Yiyi said, Zhen Li fits the description of Mother Earth. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When she was Mother Earth, she was just a sister in front of Qing Nu, let alone now.

"Is there no other way?"

Actually, Lin Yun was just fishing.

But this fish really took the bait.

"Of course, there is. The only thing that can defeat an Innate Spirit is another Innate Spirit, and I, just happen to be another..."
