Chapter 134: Yuan Xue'er's Plan, Turning the Tables

Yuan Xue'er walked over with a graceful step, the smile on her face widening, her eyes greedily fixed on the Zhu Xian Sword and Black Blade in Lin Yang's hand without hiding it.

She slowly said, "Sir, since you are so frank, I won't beat around the bush either."

"When I first came to this continent, I found the resources abundant beyond imagination, the land blessed with outstanding people and powerful experts emerging one after another, so I had a little idea: I wanted to take this place as my own backyard, to possess it for my future use."

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, saying nothing more.

He had already traversed the xuanhuan world for thirty years, naturally understanding this world's law of the strong preying on the weak.

The strong can occupy and seize the possessions of the weak.

Including the continent.

And as for Yuan Xue'er, as a powerful one wanting to take the Xuanhuang Continent as her backyard, that is understandable and fits the xuanhuan world's law.

He continued staring at Yuan Xue'er, waiting for her to go on.

Yuan Xue'er continued, "However, I still lack a capable agent. After seeing your ability and talent just now, I've thought it over and feel only you are the most suitable."

"Me...?" Lin Yang deliberately furrowed his brows, pointed at his own nose, looking quite surprised.

"Exactly!" Yuan Xue'er calmly nodded.

Lin Yang remained expressionless, merely lifting his gaze to Yuan Xue'er and lightly asking, "Why me?"

Yuan Xue'er gave a light smile, her eyes wandering over the treasures on Lin Yang's body and his tall posture.

Finally, their eyes met, and she said, "Just now, in your struggle with the Star Emperor Chain, you displayed many tactics—are neither that sword nor that short dagger anything less than a peerless treasure?"

"Moreover, your mysterious and unfathomable Dual Saint Body Technique—with such ability and foundation, how many on this continent could possess it? And how many could be your match?"

"If you become my agent, future glory, wealth, and supreme resources will be within easy reach."

"Furthermore, I can help you break through the Great Emperor Realm and go to a higher continent than this one, where you can fully display your talents."

"How about it?"

Lin Yang remained calm, but his gaze shifted to Zhou Tianming, tightly bound by four Star Emperor Chains, seeing the pain on Zhou Tianming's face.

He slightly shook his head and said, "I have no interest; I'm accustomed to idleness."

Yuan Xue'er naturally saw what Lin Yang cared about, the corner of her mouth curling into a charming arc as she said, "What if I release Zhou Tianming?"

"If you become my agent, and Zhou Tianming is your disciple, I will naturally not harm him."

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, also understanding why a Great Emperor like Zhou Tianming would be deceived by Yuan Xue'er to the point of losing his soul, not even holding her hand.

This Yuan Xue'er is really skilled—she can assess the situation, grasp the vital point, and knows exactly what to say and when.

Moreover, her ability to deceive is excellent; she knows how to paint big pies.

If it were an ordinary person, they'd surely be entranced by her backyard plan, but Lin Yang is not ordinary; he has his own sense of propriety.

He put on a thoughtful look, and after a moment questioned, "What basis do I have to trust you?"

Yuan Xue'er narrowed her eyes, stared at Lin Yang for a long time, then gritted her teeth, a hint of malice flashing in her depths, quickly forming hand seals while murmuring incantations.

Only seen, the four Star Emperor Chains binding Zhou Tianming slowly loosened.

Beneath the dark clouds, Zhou Tianming staggered and fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhou Tianming's crisis resolved, Li Yilan and Ye Xiaodie rushed over and helped him up.

The Grand Elder also followed closely, landing beside Zhou Tianming, hurriedly taking out a pill and feeding it to him.

Thus, Zhou Tianming's breath also stabilized.

Seeing Zhou Tianming unharmed, everyone anxiously lifted their heads to look at the black cloud in the sky, after all Lin Yang was still inside it.

……

Inside the black clouds.

Yuan Xue'er spoke, "You should have seen my sincerity by now, right?"

Lin Yang looked at Yuan Xue'er; the fact that she dared so casually to release Zhou Tianming shows she can release him and also strike him again.

Furthermore, the system's suggestion is for him to take the Star Emperor Stone's main body as his own.

Moreover, Yuan Xue'er has already begun to probe his Dao, so he will naturally continue with his own plan, his gaze cold as he said, "You doing this must surely have some other scheme, right?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Xue'er narrowed her eyes, staring at Lin Yang, probing.

Lin Yang said, "You're not just asking me to be your agent that simply, are you?"

"You also scheme to take some of my possessions?"

Yuan Xue'er smiled charmingly: "You're very smart."

"Since you've said this much, I won't hide anything either; what I actually want isn't much—just the excerpts from the two cultivation techniques you practice, plus that sword and short dagger in your hand, and also that book, the Heavenly Dao Pill Canon."

After all, these things in Lin Yang's hands are rare even in the world she comes from, yet Lin Yang possesses them, so she naturally drools over them.

And Lin Yang coldly chuckled in his heart.

They've already opened their lion's mouth wide demanding all his possessions, yet still say they want little?

Truly shameless.

"Of course, I won't shortchange you either."

Yuan Xue'er continued, "I will also give you two treasures of comparable quality in exchange, so you won't lose out."

Lin Yang's face sank like water.

Inwardly he actually smiled calmly; this woman really took the bait.

He feigned hesitation for a while, then slowly nodded and said, "Alright, to dominate this continent and become its spokesperson sounds cool; I agree."

Seeing this, Yuan Xue'er satisfiedly raised her chin, feeling everything was under her control.

"Alright, then hand those things over first."

Yuan Xue'er said.

"Fine, I'll give them to you."

Lin Yang obeyed like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

And just then.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang suddenly activated the Shadow Holy Body, performed the Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra, and his figure instantly concealed itself within the black clouds.

The next second.

What he used was not the Black Blade, but the Slaughter Immortal Sword, which was wrapped in endless sword light.

At the moment Yuan Xue'er was caught off guard.

He loudly slashed toward a nearby Star Emperor Chain.

Only a loud 'crack' was heard.

That Star Emperor Chain snapped in response, sparks flying from the break.

The other three Star Chains suddenly reacted.

They intended to launch a counterattack against Lin Yang.

However.

Lin Yang had long been using the Shadow Holy Body to hide.

This momentarily caused the remaining three Star Emperor Chains to have no target to attack.

And Yuan Xue'er also suddenly turned pale with shock, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she glared with wide eyes.

"You dare to deceive me!"

Lin Yang's figure suddenly appeared, and he candidly admitted: "Exactly, I deceived you. Cooperating with someone as treacherous as you is no different from seeking skin from a tiger. My disciple suffered a loss at your hands—how could I fall for it again?"

"Damn it!"

Yuan Xue'er instantly flew into a rage from shame, her hands waving, spiritual power surging around her, she exclaimed furiously: "How dare you toy with this venerable one!"

"I swear, I will make you die without a burial place."

But just as Yuan Xue'er's words fell, the Black Blade that had been lying in ambush behind her suddenly turned into a black streak of light, piercing her body from behind.

Puchi!

The Black Blade pierced through.

Yuan Xue'er stared wide-eyed at the hole in her chest, then looked at Lin Yang with utter disbelief.

"You..."

Lin Yang gave a faint smile: "Fool, have you never heard the saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

"I merely deliberately showed you the techniques, holy body, and medicinal formulas, aiming to draw your attention, let you lower your guard—I never expected you would actually fall for it."

"Truly, I've been killed by my own stupidity!"

"Hahahaha!"

Lin Yang mercilessly mocked.
