The Gap I
Lin Hui was wrapped up by the giant tentacles and pulled into the Falling Star Abyss.
The gaze of the Yuanjun on his body remained completely oblivious, whether it was because it noticed but remained unmoved, or because it was simply fooled and didn't notice. In any case, he was now feeling somewhat numb.
To be honest, he's growing to hate these individuals whose bodies are so enormous they're impossible to observe.
With a size like that, it's practically impossible to perceive its entirety using just sensory perception. One must use their divine soul.
However, even an ordinary divine soul cannot perceive the whole picture. If it weren't for his Wind Energy after merging with the Dao spreading everywhere, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense the complete outline of this giant octopus.
In reality, this thing only looks like an octopus. Its main body is more like a huge cylindrical purplish-black crystal pillar, which is filled with countless black worms.
The tentacles all extend from around this crystal pillar.
From a distance, it does indeed resemble a giant octopus. Among the worms are two particularly large ones, which look remarkably like eyes.
"Senior... I am just an insignificant nobody from the Thunder King Sect. Why do you, someone of your level, have to be so serious with someone of my level?" Lin Hui said sincerely.
"No need to belittle yourself, and no need to be afraid," the giant octopus laughed. "My name is Qingyang, and I am currently the deputy head of the Myriad Stars Tower. I didn't come here just for you; I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by. I never expected such a pleasant surprise."
"So you are Immortal Lord Qingyang, it's an honor to meet you..." Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat. Combining the information the two men had given him earlier, he immediately understood the identity and strength of the person opposite him.
Indeed, it's not just External Source; they're comparable to the deputy leader of a powerful force like the Thunder King Sect. The opponent is very likely at the legendary level of "Thought Endures Eternally." "I've already said, there's no need to be afraid. If I truly had malicious intentions, I wouldn't waste time talking to you so much. I could simply take advantage of the situation as I passed by, and the problem would be easily solved," Immortal Lord Qingyang smiled.
"You're right, I was too timid," Lin Hui quickly replied.
"Don't worry, as I said, I'm here to seek cooperation." Qingyang said nonchalantly. "Just as my disciple mentioned before, the Thunder King Sect can't offer you a bigger stage. Come to me, and I can give you all my support."
"Senior, you make it sound so easy. This soul, and my master's side, are both troublesome." Lin Hui dared not disobey and quickly made an excuse. "Don't worry about these." Qingyang smiled, and the two insect-made eyes actually revealed a hint of kindness.
"Your soul is perfectly intact, isn't it? You didn't hand it over at all. Also, what about your teacher..." He paused, seemingly waiting, or perhaps deep in thought.
But soon, Lin Hui realized he had guessed wrong.
Because Junchen Primordial Lord's voice resounded directly in his mind.
"Don't be afraid. Qingyang is my senior brother from the same sect as me. You're on the right track with him. Besides, he doesn't want you to betray the sect directly. He wants you to stay with me, lie low in the Thunder King Sect, and absorb the resources here to strengthen yourself."
"..." Lin Hui was numb again.
The Thunder King Sect is doomed.
He thought he was being abandoned, but it turned out he was being deliberately shifted to another front.
These Junchen Primordial Lord and Myriad Stars Tower Immortal Lord Qingyang, are actually in cahoots!?
Everyone has witnessed the high status of Junchen Primordial Lord in the Thunder King Sect.
It turns out they were all undercover agents.
