Chapter 1930: Chapter 1930 Surprise Attack
Lin Luoyi didn’t think much and just nodded. Then, she hurried to the VIP building accompanied by Mu Lianqing.
"How long before Xiyao gets here?" Lin Luoyi asked Mu Lianqing as they walked.
"Probably an hour or two! These days, the alchemists’s work is quite loaded. But I already asked someone to share some of her duties. She’ll come as quick as possible." Mu Lianqing’s attitude was still as good as ever.
It was only after Lin Luoyi left that Ye Liuyun began to communicate with Lin Xiyao.
He gave Lin Xiyao a Sound Transmission Talisman and communicated with her, "Later, I’ll go meet Lin Luoyi first and convince her with Mu Lianqing. After you get my message only you go.
If Lin Luoyi contacts you, don’t rush to reply, tell me first. I’ll teach you what to say, then only you reply."
"But what if she’s unhappy to see you and attacks you?" Lin Xiyao hurriedly asked. She thought that Ye Liuyun’s method was simply unworkable.
"Just rest assured! Mu Lianqing will help me make up some stories to convince her!" Ye Liuyun explained.
"When did you get so close to Mu Lianqing?" Lin Xiyao asked in confusion.
"Alas, don’t worry about all these! Anyway, as long as you do what I say, you’ll be fine," Ye Liuyun assured her.
"But is it okay to lie to my master like this? If you can’t persuade her, she’ll blame me!" Lin Xiyao was utterly worried.
Ye Liuyun also quickly said, "If we really can’t persuade her, I’ll take you to the foreign race battlefield to avoid her! How about that?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiyao finally nodded firmly, saying, "Okay, I’ll go back and pack up my things first!"
"All right, off you go! I’ll also pack up, then I’ll head out!" Ye Liuyun replied.
After Lin Xiyao left, he put on his Gilded Armour, just in case.
Then, he used Phantom Illusion to transform into Lin Xiyao’s appearance and hurried to the VIP building.
At the same time, he also notified Mu Lianqing through the Slaving Seal that he would impersonate Lin Xiyao to launch a surprise attack on Lin Luoyi, telling Mu Lianqing to be prepared.
Meanwhile, Mu Lianqing was subtly trying to please Lin Luoyi. When her two maids were about to enter, they were stopped by the guards outside the room door, but Lin Luoyi paid no mind.
She even discussed the situation on the battlefield with Mu Lianqing.
"The situation’s not looking good! Looks like there are signs of failure on both fronts. The Devil Clan’s already tough enough to fight. And now there’s a Dark Legion... We’re totally not prepared!
Now it depends on how quickly troops and resources can be assembled! If we can move fast, there might be room for negotiation with the Dark Legion."
Mu Lianqing was in fact speaking the truth. That was the mastery of a skilled liar. He only told occasional lies, but most of the time, he told the truth, making it hard to distinguish what was real and what was not.
Lin Luoyi, who didn’t understand these matters, grew more worried as what he explained was similar to the information she had. She knew she could no longer bring up the matter of the engagement.
While they were chatting, Lin Xiyao suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ms. Lin!" Lin Xiyao respectfully greeted Lin Luoyi.
"Oh, you finished so soon?"
Lin Luoyi didn’t expect Lin Xiyao to come so quickly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come to dine but it was also not appropriate to leave immediately either. Thus, she had no choice but to let Lin Xiyao sit down and have some food to keep up appearances before leaving.
"I didn’t expect it to be over so soon either. Someone volunteered to take my place, so I came back first. Well, I was worried you’d wait for too long!" Lin Xiyao explained.
"Sit down and eat something first!" Mu Lianqing also hastily made room for Lin Xiyao.
"Yeah, sit first then talk!" Lin Luoyi also suggested.
Lin Xiyao then sat down next to Lin Luoyi.
As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ms. Lin, I got a precious herb from Jin Dayong and wanted to give it to you!"
However, Lin Luoyi replied with disdain, "What good stuff could he possibly have? Show it to me! I’ll have a look for you."
Even though she said it like that, she was still happy inwardly.
Lin Xiyao immediately handed over a medicinal herb and scooched closer.
"Isn’t this just..." Lin Luoyi took it from Lin Xiyao, thinking her eyes were deceiving her. Upon closer inspection, she realised it was merely a common medicinal herb used for Qi cultivation.
She was puzzled why Lin Xiyao would treasure such a common herb and even offer it to her.
Suddenly, she sensed a killing intention from Lin Xiyao.
However, Lin Xiyao was too close to her. Without the time to prepare herself, she was struck by Lin Xiyao’s palm under her rib and sent flying away.
With a ’bam’, she hit the wall of the private room.
But Lin Luoyi was, after all, a martial practitioner in the middle stage of the Sixth Realm. So, she was not severely injured, just caught off guard.
"Xiyao, what do you think you’re doing?!" she shouted at Lin Xiyao in anger.
At this moment, Lin Xiyao’s appearance changed in the blink of an eye and transformed into Ye Liuyun.
"Lin Luoyi, we meet again!" Ye Liuyun sat down comfortably, laughing while he did.
The palm that he used to hit Lin Luoyi, in addition to his own advance energy and power of heaven and earth, he also used his Devil Qi and poison.
"It’s you!"
Lin Luoyi was taken aback.
Then she looked at Mu Lianqing and immediately understood that Mu Lianqing and Ye Liuyun were accomplices.
"What are you trying to do?" She questioned Mu Lianqing again.
Mu Lianqing sat calmly with a wine glass in hand, smiling as he retorted, "What do you think?"
Only then did Lin Luoyi realise something was wrong with her body. She promptly pulled out a detoxification pill and attempted to swallow it.
However, the Golden Phantom Eyes of Ye Liuyun emitted the Power of Ice, aiming to freeze her hand.
Of course, Ye Liuyun was not as powerful as her, and certainly couldn’t stop her. But even in the process of taking the pill, she had to use all her strength to gather her genuine energy.
And once she gathered her genuine energy, the poison would act even faster.
Ye Liuyun’s palm strike had struck not far from her heart. If she uttered a few more words, the poison would have already flowed into her heart.
"It’s too late, the poison’s got into your heart already! By the time the Elixir takes effect, you’ll be dead!" Ye Liuyun snickered at the side.
As an alchemist, Lin Luoyi obviously knew her situation was extremely dangerous. Immediately, she swore out loud with no regard for manners, "How dare you two plot against me!"
"Always so arrogant and dominating. Not used to this treatment, huh?" Ye Liuyun mocked her.
Lin Luoyi was not a fool. She, too, was observing the situation, thinking of a strategy.
Now she could not use her genuine energy, otherwise, it would accelerate the onset of the poison. She had to use Divine Soul instead.
Mu Lianqing, on the other side, was wearing an amulet against Divine Soul Attacks on his neck, therefore she could only attack Ye Liuyun. She figured perhaps she could force Ye Liuyun to hand over the antidote first.
Thinking of this, she immediately unleashed her Divine Soul, rushing into Ye Liuyun’s Ocean of Consciousness.
Yet, what Ye Liuyun had been waiting for was her Divine Soul Attack.
As soon as her Divine Soul rushed into Ye Liuyun’s Ocean of Consciousness, Ye Liuyun immediately branded her with a Slaving Seal and then released her Divine Soul back.
Later, he directly grabbed her, pressing his hand on her heart on her back, absorbing both the poison and the Devil Qi.
Afterward, like throwing a rag, he tossed her on the ground, "If you launched the Divine Soul Attack any later, it’d be hard for me to save you!"
