On the surface, they were all smiles as if they had turned hostility into friendship. But deep down, they wished for the other party to suffer so they could scheme against each other.
Lin Jin and Lord Yan were doing exactly that.
Seeing this, Huo Yuan gave Lin Jin a thumbs up inwardly. In terms of cultivation, Huo Yuan was definitely stronger than Lin Jin. But in terms of acting and mental fortitude, Huo Yuan had to admit that he was inferior.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to remain so calm when he was asked to put on such a bluff. Moreover, he was treading on thin ice, and he would be consigned to eternal damnation if he wasn't careful.
"This Lin Jin is sure to become a great person in the future," Huo Yuan praised sincerely.
At that moment, Lin Jin walked over and asked, "Where's Huang Yingnv?"
Lord Yan clearly didn't bring Huang Yingnv with him. This monster was now of great value so Lord Yan dared not make any careless mistakes.
"Huang Yingnv is still unconscious so I didn't bring her along." Lord Yan told the truth. Regardless of whether Lin Jin was being sincere or not, it was better to work together for the time being than to fight them head-on.
If he could wait until he broke the curse of the Heavenly Law and obtained the treasure hidden inside, Sir God Gai believed that with his potential and means, as long as he obtained the treasure, he would be able to break through the shackles of his current realm and become a Carefree Immortal.
Not only that, but that treasure had a powerful background and most likely possessed other powers. In other words, as long as he obtained that treasure, Lord Yan was confident that he would be invincible.
Even Curator wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
This was Lord Yan's true plan.
What he needed now was patience and forbearance.
Lin Jin seemed like he really wanted to work with Lord Man, stating that he could think of a way to save Huang Yingnv. This was in line with Lord Man's plan. Two enemies who hated each other so much that they wanted nothing more than to kill each other were now happily working together.
"Master Huoyuan, come along as well so that Lord Mang won't have to worry too much," Lin Jin said, taking the initiative to speak up for Lord Mang.
In this way, he showed even more confidence in himself.
The more confident he was, the less Lord Yan dared to act rashly. He could only cooperate obediently.
And so, Lin Jin and Lord Yan led the other immortals away from the snowy mountain.
Soon, the place became quiet again, leaving only the howling of the cold wind and the fluttering snowflakes. A moment later, a ring of fire appeared where the cave was, and Xiang Yun of Northern Qi walked out.
She had been hiding inside Huo Yuan's cave all this while and Lin Jin had instructed her to do so.
Lin Jin also told her that as soon as they left, she was to immediately report to Xuan Dao Sect's Daoist Miao Yan.
It was obvious that this was Lin Jin's move, a very important one. Because Lin Jin had been bluffing before, and because Curator's cultivation hadn't reached the level of a carefree immortal, once they clashed with God Lord Cover's group, Lin Jin and Monk Huo Yuan were no match for them.
A bluff like this could only be used for emergencies and definitely not a long-term solution. Hence, no matter what, Lin Jin needed another trump card.
The only people he could think of right now were the Xuan Dao Sect's Miao Yan and the Yun Dao Sect's Master Xuan Yue.
Although Lin Jin had never met the latter before, with his relationship with Qin Yunshang, it shouldn't be a problem to invite this true immortal. If Xuan Dao Sect and Yun Dao Sect were to intervene, it would be much easier to deal with God Lord Yan.
From the looks of it, keeping Northern Qi's Xiang Yun alive was an important move for Lin Jin. Without her, no one would be able to report to Xuan Dao Sect.
At that moment, Xiang Yun of Northern Qi looked around, and then with a serious expression, she used a spell to fly in another direction. She was going to deliver the news.
But just as she flew out of the snowy mountain range, Xiang Yun was stopped by an immortal.
The man was slender and at least ten feet tall. His limbs were abnormally long, and his sleeves were ridiculously long. They looked like opera costumes as they dragged on the ground.
Xiang Yun had seen this immortal before. He was one of God Lord Yan's disciples called Suicide Immortal.
God Lord Yan had many disciples with varying levels of strength. This Suicide Immortal was definitely one of the best among them and was probably God Lord Yan's direct descendant.
She only knew that this immortal was good at killing and had never failed before.
Needless to say, God Lord Yan was very calculative. He knew that there was someone else in the snowy mountain cave so he purposely left Suicide Immortal to hide nearby. The moment Xiang Yun came out, she was targeted.
Just by looking at the man's stance and murderous expression, it was obvious that he was here to silence her.
In terms of cultivation, although Northern Qi's Xiang Yun was also a hollow immortal, her battle power was not enough. She had no chance of winning against the Suicide Immortal. Northern Qi's Xiang Yun knew this, so she was very nervous.
A cruel smile appeared on Suicide Immortal's terrifying face. He was a ruthless man of few words so he didn't need to waste any time and attacked immediately.
Given his cultivation and ability, he only needed one move to kill Northern Qi's Xiang Yun, and she would not have any chance to resist.
But just as Suicide Immortal was about to attack, Northern Qi Xiang Yun was one step ahead and threw something at him.
Suicide Immortal sneered, thinking that his opponent was stupid.
Even if it was a preemptive strike, her cultivation, magical powers, and magic treasures were all useless. I can easily …
Just as Suicide Immortal thought of this, he saw the thing his opponent threw out suddenly explode into a bloody mist. In the next moment, two insects flew over at lightning speed. He had no time to dodge.
The moment he saw these two insects, Suicide Immortal felt his soul tremble and he almost cried out in fright.
"It's a Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insect …"
Just as he thought of this, he felt pain in his body. The two Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects had already bitten him and instantly burrowed into his body. He didn't even have time to react. In reality, even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
As one of God Lord Yan's most experienced disciples, how could Suicide Immortal not know how terrifying the Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects were? It was because he knew that he felt fear.
Once the Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects entered his body, there was basically no hope.
"You, why do you have Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects?" Suicide Immortal instantly felt the pain of thousands of insects biting his body. It must be known that even the true immortal Huo Yuan couldn't endure it. Suicide Immortal was only a slightly more powerful Ethereal Immortal, how could he endure the biting of the Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects?
In an instant, he had already thrown away his armor and rolled on the ground, howling.
However, Northern Qi's Xiang Yun would not answer his question, and he would not be able to wait for an answer. In just a short moment, Suicide Immortal's body was already riddled with holes. Even his spirit had been devoured. After letting out two howls, he stopped moving.
Immortal Death!
Although Northern Qi Xiang Yun had seen immortals bitten to death by Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects more than once, seeing it again still made her heart jump.
The only difference was that this time, the one who released the Spirit Swallowing Ghost Insects was herself.
