Chapter 217: The Mastermind

“Master!” Yi Qing was the first to notice Shen Ying’s return, but he was blocked by over ten country emperors as he tried to go over.

The time that Shen Ying had left was not short and the Invincible Sect’s battle was becoming difficult. Although the disciples were not weak, the other party simply had too many people, especially when the Protective Mountain Array was breached, they had nowhere to retreat. Over time, even immortals would become tired and there were even disciples who had been injured.

“Kind Heart.” Lan Hua used his demonic Qi to protect a few weaker Earth Immortal disciples. He then turned around and asked, “Why are you only just back, what on earth happened?”

“…”

“Hey, are you alright?” Seeing as she was not replying, Lan Hua pushed her, “What are you spacing out for?”

“What’s up?”

“What’s up? What else!” Lan Hua glared at her, “Can’t you see? Help us out! If this continues, they’re really going to enter the back mountain where the radishes are.”

Shen Ying raised her head and looked at the entire sky of immortals. There were sparks from spells everywhere and weapons all over the floor.

Her brows immediately furrowed, it was really… quite frustrating!

(╰_╯)#

Shen Ying replied, “Oh.”

She then stood up, grabbing a sword that had been pierced into the ground and pulled it out.

“Kindness, you go to the back mountain and defend…” Just as Lan Hua was about to ask her to go to the back mountain and defend the area, after all, Lonemoon and the rest were there and there was an array formation. However, he did not finish his words as he felt a weight on his shoulders and was pushed to the side by her.

“Make way!”

“Huh?” He lost his balance and was pushed to the ground, “What are you…”

As he was about to lose his temper, he saw Shen Ying walk forward, turning the sword in her hand and swinging it forward forcefully. It was a very normal swing, but in an instant, a terrifying Sword Qi that felt like it could split apart the heavens materialized on the sword and blasted forwards.

With a giant crash, a bottomless abyss appeared in the ground, as though the entire Celestial World had been split apart by a sword. The giant crack continued to expand forward, and the earth shook, even the sky distorted for a while and looked as though it would collapse. The immortals could not even maintain their sword-riding and crashed to the ground.

Complete silence!

Everyone looked at the giant bottomless abyss in the Invincible Sect with a confused expression and could not react for a long time.

What… just happened?

∑q|゚Д゚|p

“Get out!” A voice suddenly sounded. Even though the voice was not loud, it was exceptionally evident among the silence.

The immortals all felt their hearts go cold and shuddered uncontrollably as though all the meridians in their body had been frozen.

A boundless fear crept up on everyone’s minds.

It was unsure who first started, but someone turned around and rode his sword-ride to escape without even turning around to see who was the one who had struck out.

The next moment, the entire floor of immortals seemed to have some switch turned on. Those who could sword-ride all rode their swords, those who could tunnel through the ground tunneled through the ground, those who could summon clouds summoned clouds and flew off in a mad frenzy. They all spread out in all directions and escaped from the Invincible Sect, in a short while, they were all gone, leaving an entire floor of Dharma artifacts.

Thus, the immortals’ alliance crusade against the Invincible Sect came to a halt right before their victory. Apart from the people from the Invincible Sect, nobody knew what had happened. The immortals did not even know why they were escaping, but they all had one thought in their heads then, if they didn’t leave… they would die!

(இдஇ;)

The Ten Continents regained its usual peace, but there was a giant crack spanning the entire Celestial World in the ground. The crack was not even three feet wide, but it was bottomless, if you were lucky you could see the Three Thousand Worlds faintly through it.

Half a month later.

“There’s a mastermind behind Hui Ling and it could be the person who caused us to transmigrate to this world?!” Lonemoon was stunned and he stood up in shock.

“Yes.” Shen Ying picked up the cup on the table and moved it to the side before nodding.

“You’re saying that we were dragged here by others and not transmigrated here accidentally?” Lonemoon asked, looking at her in disbelief.

“Yes.” She nodded her head again.

Lonemoon looked at the emotionless Shen Ying and asked, “When did you know about this?”

“From the start.” She bit into a fruit with a crunch.

“From the start… What the f*ck! Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You didn’t ask.”

“Can’t you just say it even if I didn’t ask?” Where was the trust between father and daughter?!

“I thought you knew.”

“Which eye of yours saw that I knew?”

w(゚Д゚)w

Who would be able to guess such a thing easily?

Shen Ying tilted her head, “Wasn’t it you who told me about the plot?”

“Huh?” He faltered, what did she mean? “What does this have to do with the plot?”

“The book you read!” Shen Ying continued eating her fruit leisurely, “Apart from the emotional drama, although the process is completely different, aren’t the people who appeared the same as those who appeared in the end?”

Lonemoon thought about it attentively, indeed all the main characters had appeared. Be it the male and female lead, Yi Qing and even the gate to the Demon World had appeared.

However…

“What does this have to do with me? I’m not a person from the plot.”

“It’s exactly because you’re not.”

“What do you mean?” They were originally not from the book.

“Sigh!” Shen Ying let out a long sigh and put down the core of the fruit she had finished eating. “Father Niu, you kept saying that the book was your niece’s. So, do you remember which publisher the book was from? The author? The price?”

“Who would notice these kinds of things when reading books?” He replied habitually.

“Alright, let’s just say you didn’t notice. What about the cover? You should have seen the cover of the book, what genre was it? Can you describe it to me in detail?”

“Of course I know it, it’s…” Lonemoon was halfway through his speech and the clear image in his head suddenly became fuzzy. He could really not remember how the cover looked like?

“Can’t remember?”

“Why is it like this?”

“It’s because you’ve never seen read the book before, or perhaps the book never belonged to your niece.”

“How can that be, I clearly saw it, my niece was carrying it around the entire summer holidays.”

“Is that so?” Shen Ying continued to say, “You must dote on your niece a lot?”

“Of course!” Although he did not know why she would ask this suddenly, he habitually nodded, saying, “I only have this one niece.”

“That’s even weirder.” Shen Ying glanced at him and said, “You’re so rich and you dote on your niece so much, but you let her read a pirated book the entire summer holidays.”

“Pirated? How could it be…”

“Father Niu!” She interrupted him and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Erotic novels are not allowed to be published.” Pornography was banned!

“Uh…” I already said it wasn’t an erotic novel… Alright, maybe just a little.

^(* ̄(oo) ̄)^

“So…” Shen Ying stood up and looked nonchalantly at the empty plate in front of her, then swapped it with the platter in front of him and continued saying, “If you really read that book, the only possibility… is that someone intentionally let you see it.”

Lonemoon frowned, “You’re saying that someone intentionally made me transmigrate into this book.”

“You still think that this is the world in the book?”

Lonemoon faltered, “Isn’t it?”

“Is it?”
