Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Hearing Lin Yun, Bai Ling knew he was doing it on purpose. She said nothing, her expression sullen as she pulled Mo Qingshui and her sister upstairs.

After the three women left, Lin Yun was about to leave as well. But just then, something Wei Yunhang’s younger brother said made him stop in his tracks.

”I’m telling you, my brother is Wei Yunhang! You just wait. My brother won’t let you get away with this!”

Lin Yun, who had been about to leave, turned back at these words. He looked at Wei Yunhang’s fuming brother, and a strange smile crept across his face.

He slowly approached Wei Yunhang’s brother. Seeing this, the boy had no idea what Lin Yun was planning. He only knew that Lin Yun’s playful smile meant he was up to something.

”Wei Yunhang is your brother?” Lin Yun asked, patting the boy’s shoulder.

”That’s right! Wei Yunhang is my brother. And let me tell you, you’d better not try anything funny. My brother and Lin Yun, your Flawless Palace’s first senior brother, are sworn brothers,” Wei Yunhang’s brother said, a hint of panic in his voice.

Lin Yun froze. ’This kid is really something else,’ he thought. ’And… since when are Wei Yunhang and I sworn brothers? He’s trying to use me to threaten me.’

”Oh, is that so? I heard Lin Yun and Wei Yunhang aren’t actually that close,” Lin Yun said with a playful smile.

”What do you know? I’m telling you, my brother and Lin Yun have fought side-by-side! They even seized Celestial Eagle Valley together! How could you possibly know about things like that?”

Wei Yunhang’s brother was certainly amusing, but that wasn’t what Lin Yun was focused on. ’I need to get Wei Yunhang to Wind City to lend me a hand.’

Luo Feng had given Lin Yun command over any disciple from Flawless Palace, but he couldn’t command the Main Seat Elders. Lin Yun didn’t dare underestimate this mysterious organization in the slightest.

Without the authority to dispatch Main Seat Elders, he had no Celestial Spirit Realm experts at his disposal—aside from Patriarch He, of course.

If he could get Wei Yunhang to Wind City, he would gain an incredibly powerful fighter. That would give him a much better chance of annihilating the mysterious organization in the end.

As for how to get him here... this foolish boy was the key. With Wei Yunhang’s brother in his hands, Wei Yunhang would have to come to Wind City to rescue him. And once he arrived, Lin Yun was confident he could persuade him to help eradicate the mysterious organization.

An unreadable smile touched Lin Yun’s lips. He then beckoned over the two lackeys with Wei Yunhang’s brother. Aware of Lin Yun’s power, the two Direct Disciples from Taiqing Academy didn’t dare resist and respectfully approached him.

”Go back and tell Wei Yunhang his brother is staying with me as a guest. Tell him to come to Wind City to pick him up as soon as possible,” Lin Yun said.

Hearing this, the two Direct Disciples looked at Lin Yun in confusion. ’What’s going on? Is he deliberately sending us to deliver the message?’

”You know my brother? Who are you?” Wei Yunhang’s brother asked.

”Haha, I’m your brother’s sworn brother, Lin Yun.” With a hearty laugh, Lin Yun ordered the two Taiqing Academy disciples to set off immediately and get Wei Yunhang to Wind City as quickly as possible.

The two disciples left. As for Wei Yunhang’s brother, Lin Yun naturally kept him behind. No longer in the mood for dinner, Lin Yun told the Shopkeeper of Taotie Tower to pass a message to Bai Ling, saying that he had urgent business and had to leave.

With that, Lin Yun left Taotie Tower with Wei Yunhang’s brother in tow.

Returning to his personal courtyard in the Bai Mansion, Lin Yun sent for Li Tian and Bai Zhicheng.

The two hurried over. They saw a stranger sitting beside Lin Yun, someone neither of them recognized. Bai Zhicheng was the first to ask, ”First Senior Brother, who is this?”

”Haha, he’s Wei Yunhang’s brother. Zhicheng, I want you to give him the best hospitality. Fulfill his every request, but don’t let him slip away. Understand?” Lin Yun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Zhicheng understood Lin Yun’s meaning. ’So, put him under house arrest. As long as he doesn’t escape, treat him like an honored guest.’

He instructed Bai Zhicheng to take Wei Yunhang’s brother away and treat him well. Without Lin Yun’s direct order, no one was to contact or see the boy, and he was forbidden from taking a single step outside the Bai Mansion.

Bai Zhicheng called over a few Bai Family guards and led Wei Yunhang’s brother away. Li Tian, however, remained. Once everyone else was gone, he said with a smile,

”Young Master Lin, you’re planning to use this to get Wei Yunhang to…”

”Exactly. Wei Yunhang is a formidable figure. If I can get his help with the situation in Wind City, my chances of success will be much higher,” Lin Yun replied.

Hearing this, Li Tian nodded in agreement, but he still had his concerns.

”Young Master Lin, Wei Yunhang is the first senior brother of Taiqing Academy and one of the six great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain. You’ve kidnapped his brother. Even if he comes to Wind City, I doubt he’ll agree to help us, will he?” Li Tian said.

In response to Li Tian’s concern, Lin Yun just chuckled. ”Don’t worry. I have my ways.”

Lin Yun was confident he had a way to persuade Wei Yunhang. In fact, he was sure Wei Yunhang would spare no effort to help him eradicate the mysterious organization in Wind City.

After all, it would benefit Wei Yunhang as well. There was no way he would refuse.

Lin Yun didn’t explain this to Li Tian. Since he was confident, there was no need to trouble Li Tian further with this matter. He had more important things for him.

”What’s the situation with Chunfeng Tower?” Lin Yun asked, changing the subject from Wei Yunhang.

At this, Li Tian relayed all the intelligence he had gathered.

After learning Guang Xuanji’s identity, Lin Yun had tasked Li Tian with investigating Chunfeng Tower as thoroughly as possible.

According to Li Tian, Chunfeng Tower had been established in Wind City for a long time; it wasn’t a recent addition. However, its previous owner had suddenly vanished about six months ago.

But as the owner of a pleasure house, his disappearance went largely unnoticed. Furthermore, Chunfeng Tower continued to operate as usual, so no one bothered to look into it.

What they could confirm now was that Chunfeng Tower was definitely connected to the mysterious organization. However, based on Li Tian’s intelligence, it likely wasn’t their most important stronghold in Wind City.

Aside from Guang Xuanji, there were no other members of the mysterious organization there. Li Tian speculated that Chunfeng Tower was likely just a front—at most, a listening post for gathering information.

”So, whether we move against Chunfeng Tower or not, it won’t really affect them, is that right?” Lin Yun asked calmly after hearing Li Tian’s report.
