Chapter 63
The Great Battle Begins, Unparalleled Brilliance!
in the room.
"I'm going out for a bit," Gu Lin said, and left the Elegant Pavilion.
"Stop!" Yuan Qin said coldly in a low voice.
"Are you trying to desert your post? We've prepared for so long, and now you want to leave? I'll report this to the authorities and add a huge stain to your record!"
Gu Lin looked directly at her, without any attempt to hide his gaze:
"I am simply uneasy, fearing you will put me in danger. I must send a message to the centurion, describing your appearance in detail. If I perish, you will be the sinner who harmed your colleagues!"
Yuan Qin twitched her lips, then laughed in exasperation:
"How can you be so cowardly and timid when I'm asked to assist with a mission?"
Gu Lin didn't bother to reply and slammed the door as he left.
Nothing is more important than one's own life.
Completely trusting Ms. Yuan?
He's the fool!
That's a third-tier great demon!
"Young Master Wei, what are you doing?" As soon as Gu Lin stepped out of the pavilion, the two elders saw him carrying a bundle and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Gu Lin said with a smile:
"The apprenticeship ceremony will be held soon. I need to go down the mountain to buy the apprenticeship gifts. I'll be back in four or five days at most."
The elder nodded in agreement.
Gu Lin left the Yin Yang Sect.
On the evening of the third day, he returned to Quwu Town.
First, he sent a message to Commander Cao by carrier pigeon, describing his current situation.
Then we went to the auction house.
He spent four high-grade spirit stones to purchase a Swift Movement Gu and an Earth Escape Gu.
In case of being trapped in a dangerous situation, in addition to the max-level Lingxu Divine Speed, it can also be enhanced with Swift Movement Gu and Earth Escape Gu.
After refining it, Gu Lin purchased a wild ginseng and returned to the Yin Yang Sect.
Throughout the journey, he pondered how to make a profit.
The mirage demon is a treasure trove, especially the "King-grade Mirage Crystal". According to the Myriad Demon Chart, it is a top-grade material for refining arrays and pills. The value of a single mirage crystal is comparable to that of a tertiary magic weapon!
Setting up a top-tier illusion array requires mirage crystals, and mirage crystals are one of the best materials for refining the Rebirth Pill.
"Bring in foreign aid?"
Gu Lin muttered to himself, quickly rejecting the idea.
If he were to carry out the mission alone, it would definitely cost a fortune. Given Dongsi Corporal's status and the lure of profit, he would invite several Mountain and Sea Realm experts to help eliminate the evil demon.
However, without Yuan Qin's consent and tacit approval, introducing outside help would be considered as leaking Dongsi's internal affairs. If she were to use this as an excuse, he feared he would be severely punished by the Daoji Division.
"Are we just supposed to watch helplessly?"
"I'm really not satisfied with only getting 1,300 contribution points!"
Gu Lin thought and thought, but was at a loss.
It suddenly occurred to him.
Yuan Qin went to great lengths because she wanted to take advantage of the Mirage Demon's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack and eliminate it. If she truly had absolute strength, she would have crushed the Yin-Yang Sect and captured the demon on the very first day.
Ultimately, Yuan Qin's cultivation at the age of twenty-five was already astonishing, but that mirage demon was comparable to the peak of the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and its aura was still at its full strength.
Moreover, there is also a sect leader whose husband's strength is unknown.
Whether Yuan Qin can escape unscathed is another matter entirely.
.......
Returning to the Yin-Yang Sect.
"I thought you'd run away," Yuan Qin said, her cool voice slightly mocking as she flipped through a book by the window.
Gu Lin didn't bother to respond.
Seeing his cold attitude, Yuan Qin slammed down the scroll in her hand and emphasized in a chilling voice:
"If you dare to reveal to anyone that our fingers are intertwined and our feet are pressed together, I will make sure you suffer the consequences!"
Gu Lin stared at her upon hearing this:
"Do you think I'm proud of this? Having physical intimacy with you is just a requirement of the mission; it doesn't stir any emotion within me. Don't think of yourself as a goddess from the heavens."
Yuan Qin narrowed her eyes. These words made her extremely uncomfortable. She had always enjoyed the spotlight and the attention of everyone around her, but in this remote corner, someone was ignoring her like this.
Seeing that she was about to speak, Gu Lin said simply and bluntly:
"Shut up, don't bother me."
He loathed the other person's inherent arrogance.
Four days passed, and the two remained in the same room, ate at the same table, without exchanging a single word.
Until the night of the full moon, several inner sect elders came to extend an invitation.
The two remained calm and headed towards the sect leader's residence.
Bamboo grove outside the mansion.
The voluptuous and beautiful sect leader sat high in the center, while her husband, the chief elder, sat to her left. Below them were incense burners, talismans, fruits, vegetables, and other offerings for burning incense and worshipping the heavens.
"You may all leave." The sect leader smiled and flicked his sleeve.
The inner sect elders respectfully took their leave.
Once only Gu Lin and his companion remained at the lower table, the sect leader raised her slender fingers, revealing a faint yin-yang symbol. She spoke softly:
"Wei Jin, take two steps forward."
Gu Lin's body stiffened, and he remained motionless for a long time before turning his head to glance at Yuan Qin.
"What do you mean?" the chief elder asked, slightly puzzled.
Gu Lin suppressed his nervousness and feigned a trembling voice as he said:
"I am so excited to be able to inherit the true teachings of the Yin-Yang Sect."
He glanced at Yuan Qin again.
Despite not exchanging a single word, after spending several days together, Yuan Qin instantly understood Gu Lin's gaze.
Don't harm me, don't put me in danger, or you will be held accountable by Toji!
Yuan Qin returned a glance.
Don't worry, you won't die!
The sect leader chuckled:
"Don't get excited, come and become my apprentice."
Gu Lin calmed himself and took one step forward.
The sect leader raised his fingertip and lightly tapped Gu Lin's forehead.
In an instant, Gu Lin's mind went blank, and a hazy mist of illusion surged over him, seemingly about to completely engulf him.
In an instant.
Yuan Qin moved.
This is the moment she's been waiting for.
Rumble!
Yuan Qin's long black hair danced freely without wind, her true essence circulating in a microcosmic orbit, transforming into a prism-shaped dart that severed the sect leader's finger at an incredible speed.
"Second level of the Mountain and Sea Realm!" The chief elder was shocked.
boom--
Gu Lin fainted and fell to the ground.
Actually, he was very clear-headed.
What kind of willpower do I have?
Absolutely terrifying!
How could it be swallowed up by the mirage?
While he was "fainting," half of his senses were focused on his empty orifices, ready to activate the Earth-遁蛊 (Earth-遁蛊) to connect with the Swift-行蛊 (Swift-行蛊) and escape at any moment.
The sect leader's palm was covered in blood, and he was furious. His true essence in his dantian erupted, revealing him to be at the second level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Her husband, the chief elder, was preparing a fatal blow, and the depth of his true essence was actually at the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Yuan Qin leaped into the air, her toes barely touching the ground, as countless sharp blades pressed and overlapped around her, heading straight for the sect leader.
"On the night of the full moon, the mirage demon is weakened. Why don't you surrender?!"
Faced with the woman so close at hand, the sect leader was forced to sway and lose his composure by her imposing aura. He barely managed to extend his extremely yin palm to block the myriad sharp blades.
"You will die!" The chief elder's voice was short and chilling as he strode forward, heading straight for Yuan Qin.
A rumbling sound echoed through the bamboo forest, turning the emerald bamboo within a radius of three zhang into dust. Yuan Qin stood atop the bamboo tip, her movements fluid and swift, each strike fierce, leaving the sect leader and his wife no chance to catch their breath.
To fight two people alone while only at the second level of the Mountain and Sea Realm is truly a feat of unparalleled brilliance!
The chief elder's eyes widened, and he was sweating profusely. His true energy was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate, yet he was still unable to do anything to the young woman.
Yuan Qin's black hair danced in the wind, her expression icy:
"Mirage demon, why don't you reveal your true form?"
The sect leader's beautiful face suddenly twisted into a ferocious grimace. She roared hysterically, and her cherry-like mouth suddenly turned into a gaping maw. A monster resembling a giant snake or a dragon sprang out of her mouth, growing ten times larger in an instant.
It was a mirage demon!
Its lower body was covered with patches of blue scales, and its head opened and closed like a mirage, exhaling mirage gas in an instant, transforming into a dreamlike pavilion.
"I'm going out for a bit," Gu Lin said, and left the Elegant Pavilion.
"Stop!" Yuan Qin said coldly in a low voice.
"Are you trying to desert your post? We've prepared for so long, and now you want to leave? I'll report this to the authorities and add a huge stain to your record!"
