Chapter 721 - 720: Fell into a Trap

Chapter 721: Chapter 720: Fell into a Trap

A cold smirk touched Lin Yun’s lips as he listened to Li Tian. The Monk and his three companions had been visiting the Desire Immortal Tower every day; how could Lin Yun not have taken precautions? Besides, while the four men were lecherous, they weren’t brainless.

The Monk and the Daoist, in particular, were endlessly cunning. Hua Yu had been asking about Lin Yun every day, which had made the two of them suspicious long ago.

And everything the four men told Hua Yu had been discussed with Lin Yun beforehand.

"I never thought this woman would turn out to be from the Qing Zhu Association. Since that’s the case, let’s do the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Guild a favor and eradicate their Qing Zhu Association members," Lin Yun said with a soft laugh.

Knowing that Hua Yu was going to make her move tonight, Lin Yun left the arrangements to Li Tian. With Li Tian personally handling it, Lin Yun was confident that everything would be foolproof.

After Li Tian left, the Monk and his three companions soon found Lin Yun. Looking at the four of them, Lin Yun chuckled and said, "Back from the land of tender comforts?"

Hearing this, the four of them gave sheepish smiles and sat down beside Lin Yun. The Monk spoke up, "Young Master Lin, what ’land of tender comforts’? We were gathering intelligence on the Qing Zhu Association’s movements for you!"

Lin Yun gave a disdainful smile at the Monk’s words. ’As if I don’t know what these four are like.’ Although they had indeed uncovered the truth about Hua Yu, they had surely taken plenty of liberties with her over the past few days.

Poor Hua Yu had no idea. For the past few days, she had not only used her charms, but had been completely outwitted by the four men in the process. Everything about her had been relayed to Lin Yun.

"Alright, get ready for tonight. Let’s give our guests from the Qing Zhu Association a proper welcome," he said to the four of them.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the four men all nodded and left the courtyard. Lin Yun remained alone, sitting in the pavilion. A cold smirk hung on his lips as he muttered to himself, ’You want to harm the people by my side? Then don’t blame me for crushing a beautiful flower.’

Lin Yun had Li Tian secretly make the arrangements, while Hua Yu remained completely oblivious that Lin Yun already knew her intentions. At that moment, Hua Yu was still in the Desire Immortal Tower, plotting how to slaughter the people around Lin Yun that night.

Time flowed by slowly. After night fell, more than a dozen White Attendants from the Qing Zhu Association secretly arrived at the perimeter of the courtyard where Lin Yun and his group were staying.

Having learned the location of Lu Bingning and the other two women from the four men, the mission for these dozen or so White Attendants tonight was to kill the three of them. Killing Lin Yun’s three women would undoubtedly cause him great pain.

What these men didn’t know, however, was that the address the four had given Hua Yu was wrong; it wasn’t where Lu Bingning and the other two women were staying at all.

Unaware of the truth, the group of men used the cover of night to silently infiltrate the courtyard where Lin Yun’s group was staying, quickly moving in the direction the four men had described.

As they climbed over the courtyard wall, they had no idea that Lin Yun was already aware of their every move. Little Ape was secretly tailing the group.

Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, Lin Yun was already waiting for them to arrive. The Monk, the Daoist, Li Tian, and the others were already in ambush, and the Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint were also ready.

"She thinks a dozen or so Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators can kill my women? Hua Yu is far too naive," Lin Yun said with a soft laugh.

Lu Bingning and the other two women weren’t here at all. They had already begun their cultivation. The only one waiting here for these men was Lin Yun.

In just a quarter of an hour, the men arrived in front of the small courtyard. Leaping over the low wall, they froze completely.

"I’ve been waiting for you," Lin Yun said with a smile, which gradually turned ice-cold.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, how could the men not understand? They had walked into a trap. Lin Yun had known about their operation all along.

Looking at Lin Yun warily, the men understood that they probably weren’t getting out of here tonight. Just as they had this thought, the Monk and the Daoist also revealed themselves.

Seeing the Monk and the Daoist, the men realized that Hua Yu had been used by the four of them. Hua Yu thought the four men were just lusting after her beauty, but she never realized they had been playing her all along.

"You wanted to kill my women..." Getting to his feet, Lin Yun slowly walked toward the men, his voice soft, as a murderous aura began to emanate from him.

Lu Bingning and the other two women were, without a doubt, Lin Yun’s reverse scale. For these men to have targeted them meant that in Lin Yun’s eyes, they were already dead.

Faced with the situation meticulously arranged by Li Tian, these men had no chance of escape. Watching Lin Yun walk toward them step by step, their hearts sank with despair.

"I want them alive," Lin Yun said flatly. The moment his voice fell, the Qingfeng Saint and the Flowing Water Saint instantly struck, subduing the dozen or so White Attendants from the Qing Zhu Association in a flash.

Facing two Saints, these White Attendants had no room to fight back. After they were subdued, Lin Yun personally sealed their cultivation, then had the Monk and the Daoist tie them up and lock them away for now.

Hua Yu’s operation was a complete failure. After waiting all night, she still hadn’t seen any of the men return by the next morning, and a sense of unease grew in her heart.

Her pretty brows furrowed slightly. Hua Yu couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong. An entire night had passed, and not one of them had returned. The only explanation was that they had likely been killed or captured by Lin Yun.

A dozen or so White Attendants were nothing to the Qing Zhu Association, but what Hua Yu feared most was that Lin Yun had captured them alive, which would allow him to uproot all the Qing Zhu Association members hidden within the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Guild.

Qing Zhu had long been making secret arrangements regarding the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Guild; there were even Qing Zhu Association members within the Guild’s inner circle.

If Lin Yun really did manage to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, all of Qing Zhu’s efforts would turn to dust, and she, Hua Yu, would inevitably be punished by Qing Zhu.

At this thought, Hua Yu’s heart tightened with anxiety. She had to admit she had underestimated Lin Yun. Thinking it over carefully, she soon thought of the Monk and his three companions.

Those four louts had been getting handsy with her for days, but Hua Yu had endured it for the sake of Qing Zhu’s grand plan. What she never expected was that while they were taking liberties with her, they were also setting a trap for her.

"Those four..." Hua Yu practically ground her teeth. She was now almost certain it must have been the four of them.

Just as Hua Yu was fuming, a maid came to announce that a man named Lin Yun was asking to see her by name.
