Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 227 - 221: Lin Yuan and Yang Jing Reach an Agreement

"I'm not!"

"I didn't!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The Day Traveler immediately denied Yang Jing with a triple denial.

However, at this moment, although the Day Traveler seemed calm on the surface, she was actually panicking inside.

The Day Traveler thought, how does he know I'm Lin Yuan's person?

Now I'm doomed, Yang Jing knows I'm the traitor, he must be here to kill me.

Night Traveler, I'm afraid I can't help you avenge.

After a slight panic in her heart, the Day Traveler forced herself to calm down and recalled where she might have slipped up.

After roughly recalling, the Day Traveler felt she had done everything cleanly! Didn't leave any evidence!

Could it be that Yang Jing is bluffing me?

Thinking of this, the Day Traveler also made up her mind, unless Yang Jing could produce some substantive evidence.

Otherwise, she wouldn't agree even if it killed her.

"Last time, the failed ambush on Yang Dingguo, you were the one who tipped him off, right?" Yang Jing hadn't finished speaking when the Day Traveler was about to deny it.

However, Yang Jing suddenly changed his tone: "Don't rush to deny it, we're not enemies. I have no malicious intent, otherwise, it wouldn't have been me who came."

"My situation, you should know, I'm working for the Deceitful King Faction out of no choice."

"Perhaps, we're the same type of person, with the same goals."

In the Deceitful King Faction, the Day Traveler was responsible for intelligence work.

She surely held some information about her own people.

Moreover, Yang Jing's situation was not a secret within the Deceitful King Faction.

Everyone in the Deceitful King Faction knew that Yang Jing's sister was in the hands of the Ghost Leader.

Yang Jing was controlled by the Ghost Leader because of his sister.

At this time, the Day Traveler also thought of her brother, the Night Traveler.

The reason she cooperated with Lin Yuan was also to avenge the Night Traveler.

In a way, she and Yang Jing were indeed the same type of people.

Having spoken to this extent, the Day Traveler no longer denied it, but ambiguously asked: "What are you looking for Lin Yuan for?"

Since Yang Jing already knew the Day Traveler's identity, he didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly said: "Looking for his help to save my sister."

"If the person can be saved, everything can be negotiated."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, a glint flashed in the Day Traveler's eyes.

In the Deceitful King Faction, Yang Jing is an important figure!

The Ghost Leader's ability to control Yang Jing relied on Yang Jing's sister.

If Yang Jing's sister was rescued, then the Ghost Leader would lose his leverage to control him.

By that time, the process of destroying the Deceitful King Faction could surely be accelerated significantly.

The Day Traveler's existence was for the purpose of destroying the Deceitful King Faction.

This could be said to be her only belief in life.

Thinking of this, the Day Traveler decided to believe Yang Jing's words, take the risk, and help him contact Lin Yuan for a meeting.

"Alright!"

"I'll try to help you contact him, but I can't guarantee whether he's willing to see you!" The Day Traveler agreed.

At the same time as agreeing, the Day Traveler was still observing Yang Jing, fearing he would do anything unexpected.

One must know, the Day Traveler and Yang Jing didn't have much of a relationship.

Agreeing to Yang Jing's request was actually quite risky.

If Yang Jing was sent by the Ghost Leader to test her, she would be doomed.

Fortunately, Yang Jing showed no abnormalities, so it seemed he was telling the truth.

Just as the Day Traveler was preparing to find Lin Yuan, Yang Jing held her back.

"What now?" The Day Traveler turned around, frowned, and asked in a low voice.

"Hurry up, I only have four hours. Once those two wake up, things will get messy!" Yang Jing pointed to the Demon Flood Dragon and Demon Tiger nearby and advised.

"Alright!"

"I'll do it as quickly as I can!"

"Stay here for now, and don't wander around." The Day Traveler agreed once again, turned her head, and left to contact Lin Yuan.

...

...

Wushan Shelter.

Villa, study room.

"Are you freaking sick?"

"It's almost nighttime, and you're coming to see me?"

"What, planning to stay the night?" Lin Yuan looked at the Day Traveler standing before him and said with annoyance.

Day Traveler: "?????"

"Why do you men always like to make such vulgar jokes?" The Day Traveler frowned, her expression visibly displeased.

Maybe she remembered Yang Jing joking about her being his lover before.

Goodness gracious?

I'm joking, and you're firing a broadside, huh?

I'm making a joke, and you're defining all men like this?

Lin Yuan asked with a speechless face: "Spit it out, what is it?"

Now, Lin Yuan just wanted to get clear on things and quickly get the Day Traveler out of here.

"Yang Jing wants to meet you!" The Day Traveler went straight to the point.

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Yuan was first taken aback, then immediately stood up with shock, repeating in disbelief: "You're saying Yang Jing wants to meet me?"

"That's right!"

"Yang Jing wants to see you! Right now, outside the city!" Day Traveler confirmed.

"What's the matter, did he mention what it's about?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

As the saying goes, know your enemy and win every battle. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The more you understand, the more advantageous the negotiation will be.

Day Traveler and Lin Yuan were on the same team, so naturally, she wouldn't hide anything from Lin Yuan.

So, she told Lin Yuan everything she knew, entirely and truthfully.

"His sister is controlled by the Ghost Leader, which means that the bad things he's done are all out of helplessness?"

"In that case, this person is rather sentimental and loyal!" Lin Yuan said as he stroked his chin and then asked Day Traveler: "Do you think this Yang Jing is trustworthy?"

Day Traveler nodded and answered seriously: "I think he's trustworthy, but the prerequisite for cooperating with him is that you have to get his sister out."

"His sister is imprisoned in the core area of the Deceitful King Faction headquarters; it's definitely not easy to rescue her."

"As long as Yang Jing is reliable, where there's a will, there's a way."

"Think of a plan; there's always a way to rescue his sister!" Lin Yuan pondered.

It seemed that Lin Yuan was planning to cooperate with Yang Jing.

So, Day Traveler asked, "Then shall we go? Yang Jing is still waiting!"

"Yingying, go brew a pot of tea!" Lin Yuan shouted out of the study, then leisurely said to Day Traveler: "No rush, let's have a pot of tea first."

"If Yang Jing wants to see me, just let him; wouldn't that be more degrading?"

"Let him wait a while, to make negotiations easier later."

In the study, Lin Yuan and Day Traveler drank tea and chatted.

Indeed, Day Traveler being an insider in the Deceitful King Faction was actually very helpful.

Of course, this was partly because Day Traveler had Tier Six Peak power and was also someone familiar with Peng City.

Day Traveler played a critical role in locating intelligence about Peng City.

The two drank tea together, having three pots in total.

Seeing the tea was finished, just as Lin Yuan was about to ask Wen Yingying to brew more, Day Traveler coldly said, "I think we should get going?"

"Why?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Yang Jing's situation is rather special; he only has four hours. I think if we delay any longer, he might be gone by the time we arrive!" Day Traveler answered.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly became unsettled.

Cooperating with Yang Jing was quite important!

He wanted to let Yang Jing wait a bit to make bargaining easier during negotiations.

If Yang Jing left and the cooperation couldn't be fulfilled, it would be a loss for him!

Lin Yuan was preparing to destroy the Deceitful King Faction, and Yang Jing might be an opportunity.

Lin Yuan looked rather annoyed as he pulled Day Traveler and urged, "Alright, let's go quickly!"

...

...

Outside Peng City.

A secret safe house.

Usually, Lin Yuan and Day Traveler would exchange intelligence here.

"Yang Jing, never thought there'd be a day we'd interact in this way!"

"But speaking of it, you're still alive."

"You're as resilient as a cockroach!" Lin Yuan said first upon seeing Yang Jing.

Yang Jing looked at himself, smiled mockingly, and said, "Living like this, it's better to be dead."

After a moment, Yang Jing didn't beat around the bush but said directly, "Lin Yuan, I need you to help me rescue my sister."

"Of course, as a return, I can do anything for you, even risk my life!"

Yang Jing's directness exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

He was putting forth his bottom line right away, with no intention to bargain.

His goal was to rescue his sister; as long as that was achieved, he could accept any condition Lin Yuan proposed.

Yang Jing's straightforwardness was rather unsettling for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had initially planned to engage in a sky-high demand and land-low bargain negotiation with Yang Jing!

Now it seemed the bargaining process could be omitted.

After pondering, Lin Yuan said to Yang Jing: "I need you to show some sincerity."

Yang Jing slightly frowned, "Sincerity?"

"What do you want? As long as it's within my capability, I'll try my best to help you."

"But before my sister is freed, I cannot go against the Deceitful King Faction."

Yang Jing feared Lin Yuan would ask him to kill an important figure in the Deceitful King Faction as a gesture of loyalty.

"It's not as complicated as you think," Lin Yuan said to Yang Jing, "I'll ask you one question, and you have to answer honestly."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh with relief.

If it were just answering one question, it really wasn't a big deal.

"Okay, ask away!" Yang Jing replied.

"Is there a master in the Deceitful King Faction whose tattoo ability is a cloud, a red cloud?" Lin Yuan asked.

This question, Day Traveler was very familiar with because Lin Yuan had asked her the same thing.

"Cloud?"

"A red cloud?" Yang Jing fell into thought. After a moment, he answered, "No, at least I've never seen it."

"But there is indeed a master. Feng Wuji, his tattoo ability is Celestial Lord of Nine Heavens, Thunderous Sound and Universal Transformation."

"His strength isn't weaker than mine now. A few days ago, I fought him and was slightly at a disadvantage."

Because Yang Jing didn't know who Lin Yuan was referring to, he deliberately compensated with information about Feng Wuji.
