Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Suppression from the Depths of the Soul

Even though he deliberately sealed away that memory he didn’t want to face, as long as there was a security threat to Lin Yi, Lin You could still react immediately.

Lin Yi gently placed his palm on Lin You’s head.

“No worries, I came here intentionally. As for why, you should understand, your position has been exposed. If you want to stay by my side long-term, there’s only one way, and that is to deal with your elder brother.”

“You know your brother’s strength better than I do. I can’t just wait for him to arrive; I have to take the initiative if I hope to defeat him. Besides, for this mission, we rely on Dark Rising. If there’s something we can’t handle, let them deal with it.”

Lin Yi wasn’t wrong. To deal with a big shot like Qin Guang at that level, taking the initiative could indeed catch him by surprise.

However, Lin You knew better than anyone how terrifyingly powerful her elder brother truly was. Though Lin Yi was quite capable, he was still far from being able to contend with her brother.

“If you want to resolve this trouble, just leave it to me. If I use all my strength against my brother…”

Before Lin You could finish, Lin Yi covered her small mouth.

Could Lin Yi not guess Lin You’s thoughts?

The days of being summoned as a creature in the lower plane had gone on for who knows how many years. Even if Qin Guang wasn’t Lin You’s match thousands of years ago, it was of no use now.

With the passage of millennia, who could say that Lin You’s power could still suppress her brother?

As an Upper-Rank God, how long had Qin Guang stayed at that level? How many Source Power Elixirs had he obtained, and what tier was his actual strength? It wasn’t hard to guess.

For someone as clever as Lin Yi, it was impossible not to see through this.

That’s why he directly interrupted Lin You.

“Aren’t we each other’s most reliable partners? Is it not inappropriate to deceive your partner with words that fool yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Lin You was stunned.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to Lin Yi’s question.

Before Lin You could speak, Lin Yi got straight to the point, stating the purpose of this trip and expressing his needs:

I know that recovering those memories here is a very cruel thing for you, but we don’t have a choice now. Without your help, I’m most likely unable to deal with Qin Guang. So, the decision is yours.

At this point, what choice was there? Better to follow Lin Yi’s plan.

At that moment, two patrolling guards clad in silver Nine Nether Divine Soldiers armor approached.

The Land of the Nine Netherworld is vast. In such a large place, completing a task might indeed be challenging, but having fewer people makes it easier to move undetected.

Unfortunately, ordinary Nine Nether Divine Soldiers usually act in pairs, and when executing a mission, they generally don’t delay en route, much less gather four in one place to discuss.

“What are you doing!”

“Is the task in your hands worth discussing?”

Such actions were truly unusual.

Moreover, Lin You had just emerged from the Undead Space, and Lin Yi hadn’t yet applied the effect of the Seventy-Two Transformations on her. Lin You, dressed as a dark-themed loli, stood out conspicuously in the Land of the Nine Netherworld.

With such an appearance, trying not to be noticed was a challenge.

The moment she heard the unfamiliar voice from behind, it was already too late to conceal her identity.

To prevent their movements and purposes from being exposed, Lin Yi even used the Power of the Primordial to condense a powerful short blade in his hand, ready to strike down the approaching Nine Nether Divine Soldiers as soon as they came close.

Xiyue and Ziyue did the same.

Especially Ziyue, for whom the success of this mission was exceedingly important.

She had too much at stake and couldn’t allow any failure. To ensure the mission’s smooth execution, she even chose to follow the same course of action as Lin Yi.

At this critical juncture, Lin You made a move.

“Is this how you talk to this young lady?”

With just a glance, the patrolling Nine Nether Divine Soldiers who came to check the situation were utterly intimidated.

It was the absolute might from the Lord of the Nine Netherworld.

The patrolling Nine Nether Divine Soldiers hadn’t met Lin You, but just one gaze exchanging with her eyes, seemingly ordinary, was enough to make them feel like they were facing the abyss.

The feeling was so real, describing it as being there was not an exaggeration at all.

“Y-you, you are…”

The patrolling guard was so nervous he was speechless.

He searched his lifelong learning for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable reason to explain his rudeness, so he simply plopped down and knelt before Lin You.

“Greetings, Miss!”

The Lord of the Nine Netherworld’s daughters were more than one. The patrolling soldiers weren’t sure exactly which one was in front of them.

But the trembling from deep within their souls was real.

Seeing the patrolling soldiers behave obediently, Lin Yi and Ziyue withdrew their Divine Power.

“What? Must I report to you if I am talking to my three bodyguards? Come, repeat what you just said.”

Lin You’s icy words struck the patrolling soldier’s trident nerves, causing him to shiver before he prostrated on the ground.

“Miss, I was presumptuous, I was presumptuous. I didn’t see your face clearly. Please, miss, be generous and spare my life!”

The patrolling soldier had never faced such a major scene before, and except for apologizing, he didn’t know what else he could do.

Fortunately, Lin You didn’t intend to pursue the matter further.

After a warning, she let them leave.

After this little incident, Wo Zhiqi’s guess was confirmed.

Dark Rising had set up a very large chessboard; at present, the only option was to continue according to Dark Rising’s arrangement to unravel everyone’s needs.

Even knowing the reason, Lin You was still caught in indecision.

The Great Saint couldn’t stand it any longer and took over Lin Yi’s position.

“Girl, I don’t know what you are troubled about, but one thing I am sure of, this action is a very pivotal opportunity for Lin Yi. If this plan doesn’t critically impact Dark Rising’s overthrow of the reign of all celestial divine beings, Dark Rising would not have plotted for so many years.”

“I have a hunch after this successful mission, the Three Realms and Six Paths will undergo tremendous changes.”

After saying this, Lin Yi’s gaze dimmed for a moment.

The Great Saint relinquished control of the body and returned to Lin Yi’s Sea of Divine Consciousness.

As expected, to convince Lin You, the starting point had to be Lin Yi’s interests. Connecting with Lin Yi’s goals would lead Lin You to seriously analyze the pros and cons.

You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing some kids.

This is a truth passed down through millennia in Xia.

During the time following Lin Yi, Lin You heard it mentioned frequently by people from Xia and believed in the coexistence of risk and opportunity.

Finally, after a moment of silence, Lin You approved Lin Yi’s plan.
