The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 72 The Story of the Wolf and the Sheep

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 The Story of the Wolf and the Sheep

Xiao Qing had long known this was a dream.

She knew that Da Bai had died, and in a self-destructive demon soul manner, leaving no trace behind.

Only in dreams could she reunite with Da Bai, so after dreaming of her, Xiao Qing wanted to spend more time with her.

However, the longer she stayed in the dream, the more she began to forget that it was just a dream.

It wasn’t until Lin Yun suddenly came to awaken her that she suddenly realized.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Qing, feeling herself about to awaken, hastily asked a question.

"An old acquaintance."

After speaking, Lin Yun left Xiao Qing’s dream.

Xiao Qing opened her eyes, confounded, unable to think of any old acquaintance.

But she remembered that voice, certain that if she heard it again, she would recognize it.

Lin Yun, after observing the straggling challengers, turned his gaze to Dongfang Hongyue, who sat in front of a stele with a closed-off expression, surrounded by several others in a similar state.

The trial wasn’t difficult; those who made it through the dream realm had little trouble afterward, meeting minor challenges and then joining the others in their dejected state.

The United Hearts Bridge, as it implies, requires finding a person of the same heart and resolve.

For cultivators, this is truly difficult; it’s still manageable for those at a lower realm, as most cultivators at that level can still be moved by others emotionally, but those who have passed the Heart Guarding Realm without finding a partner are basically doomed to be alone for life.

Of course, the United Hearts Bridge does not necessitate finding someone of the opposite sex; the same sex will do as well.

But cultivators always place themselves first, caring most about themselves, so how could they possibly share a heart with another?

Liu Ji and Zhang Biyu silently chose to give up, squatting together with Dongfang Hongyue in resignation.

"Do you think the Moon God can really help people find a marriage partner?"

Zhang Biyu, out of boredom, started a conversation with two companions.

Liu Ji, puzzled, asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Mortals always pray to the Matchmaker God for a marriage partner, maybe all the myths about the moon are actually the powers of the Moon God!"

Zhang Biyu joked about her bold speculation, but in reality, she had been thinking during the trial that the moon rules the night, so many trials exist in the form of dreams or illusions.

Moreover, the previous fifth trial with the constant tree chopping also matched the mythological tales of tree felling.

If the folk tales were true, then...

Could the legends about other divine beings also be real?

Even as cultivators, there is still much curiosity about divine spirits, mingled with a hint of fear.

But Liu Ji didn’t think that much about it, casually saying, "Believe in what you see with your own eyes. Pondering things beyond our understanding is just needlessly troubling and unhelpful."

Zhang Biyu: "..."

Although you make sense, it still feels annoying.

"Sister Hong Yue, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Zhang Biyu found talking with Liu Ji too dull.

"It’s nothing."

Dongfang Hongyue had adjusted her mindset.

At first, she felt bad about not being able to cross the United Hearts Bridge, but then she thought, no one else could cross either!

No one else could find a like-minded person.

She only lacked blood, after all; perhaps if she had blood, she might have been able to cross with Lin Yun...

She cursed; the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.

Was there anything sadder than this?

Hey, why hasn’t Lin Yun come over yet?

Forget it, just wait patiently.

By now, almost all who passed the trials had arrived, and from the Righteous Seven Great Sects, aside from Guanghan Palace, everyone else was here. Each person looked at the United Hearts Bridge’s description and found a corner to squat in.

Isn’t this just infuriating?

Without someone to cross, no one could leave.

However, at this moment, two members of the Demon Tribe walked up to the bridge.

One was a Wolf Demon, female, with an exaggerated figure and scant clothing, obviously a seductress.

One was a Sheep Demon, male.

The two looked at each other and each sliced their fingers, letting the blood drip onto the Yin Yang Fish at the bridgehead.

The cultivators of the Human Race all turned their attention to these two demons.

"Zhenren, should we..."

The speaker was a male disciple named Zhang Xiuya, from Shenxiao Sect, who made a throat-slitting gesture.

If it were humans who were to activate this bridge, they would just watch, but if it were members of the Demon Tribe, then they had to consider taking action.

Fighting wasn’t prohibited here, and at this moment, there were only four demons; they also had a numerical advantage.

Zhenren, however, shook his head.

By now, almost everyone capable of passing the trial had appeared, yet no one had been able to make the bridge solidify from illusion. What if killing these two demons didn’t work either?

Zhenren also silently observed the changes to the Yin Yang Fish, wondering to himself.

But the Yin Yang Fish, which had begun to rotate because it was stained with the blood of two demons, soon dimmed down after spinning for a while.

"Why?"

The Sheep Demon looked at the Wolf Demon in confusion after the failure.

The Wolf Demon was his partner, and their interspecies romance was also widely known among the Demon Tribe, so when he found out that the condition to pass was the United Hearts Bridge, the Sheep Demon was particularly excited.

But why couldn’t they pass?

"How would I know?"

Panic crept onto the charming and seductive face of the Wolf Demon.

Now, the cultivators of the Human Race were enjoying the show.

The leading big brother Hu Dali quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Sheep, don’t quarrel. How about I give it a try?"

Sheep Demon: "???"

He seemed to smell the scent of his homeland’s lush grasslands.

Hu Dali was a burly man with strong, muscular arms showing.

But he was no fool. Seeing the strange look in the Sheep Demon’s eyes, he hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, I didn’t mean to try with Sister Wolf, I meant with Fox Sister."

This was the last demon besides Xiao Qing.

"Brother Tiger, I’m male."

The rather beautiful fox spirit said weakly.

Zhang Biyu, who was watching the excitement, lit up.

"Ah, what an interesting pair."

She had already started shipping them as a couple.

However, these two demons also failed.

It seemed that the United Hearts Bridge wasn’t that easy to cross.

At this moment, two more people entered from Jade Cicada Palace, one was Green Snake and the other was Saintess Flower Fairy of Guanghan Palace.

Seeing Flower Fairy, Zhenren’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t forgotten how gentle Flower Fairy was in his dreams.

Zhenren took a step forward and gently said, "Sister Flower, you’re here."

Flower Fairy didn’t pay him any mind, instead she looked around, searching for Lin Yun.

"Sister Flower, there’s only one challenge left, only the last United Hearts Bridge. Should we give it a try?"

The others from the Orthodox Sects all showed gossipy looks in their eyes.

Uh-oh!

This was almost like a public confession.

Flower Fairy glanced at Zhenren and decisively rejected him.

"There’s no need to try, my heart has already been stolen by someone."

Zhenren: "???"

The Saintess of Guanghan Palace, she speaks such romantic words?

Ha!

The Saintess is nothing special after all.

Zhenren’s eyes turned into the shape of lemons...
