Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 757 Secretary Chen Lingyun
From a geopolitical perspective, if the Yamata-no-Orochi appears, the first to suffer will definitely be the Sakura Empire.

The Sakura Empire is finished, and the next ones will be the nearby Goryeo, Lu Kingdom and the Northern Territory. A mere strait will definitely not be able to stop the monsters with incredible strength.

So, there was a reason why Soichiro Kore had come to Luguo for help instead of going to Mitch. In his view, the Yamata-no-Orochi was a near-term threat to all of East Asia. While it was a long-term threat to all of humanity, the Western world was known for its fickleness and might not be able to foresee that far.

However, from the perspective of the Lu State Privy Council, it would be a loss to stand alone and fight against the Yamata no Orochi.

A flying-headed demon appeared in the southern border. The area within a thousand miles of where it fell turned into a swamp, drawing a death zone between the Indochina Peninsula and the border of the land country.

To date, there is no solution to the miasma and venom within. With no sunlight or wind, no birds or animals, no vegetation, and even no microorganisms, it is a land of utter death.

Based on this speculation, whether Yamata no Orochi died on Lu's mainland or in the Western Pacific, Lu would essentially suffer a heavy loss. Not to mention the former, if the latter's body contaminated the entire East China Sea, it would directly lead to a complete destruction of Lu's fishing and shipping industries, an outcome the Privy Council could not accept.

Therefore, the best way is to lure this time bomb out of Sakura Island and away from the ocean current range of the Western Pacific. It would be best to lure it to an island and then kill it, so as to prevent the pollution from spreading along the ocean current and finally returning to the territorial waters of the mainland.

As for this island, first of all, it would be best if it is vast and sparsely populated, so as to avoid heavy casualties among local people and cause humanitarian pressure; secondly, it would be best if there is a large desert, because the desert environment is originally barren and has extremely low utilization value, so it doesn’t matter if it is polluted.

A large island with a vast area, sparse population, and desert, which must be relatively close to East Asia to facilitate luring the Yamata no Orochi there... Is there one?
After a phone call with the Lu State Privy Council, Mitch's side quickly came up with an answer.

Of course there is this big island.

It was obvious that if the Continental Kingdom's request for cooperation was rejected, the Continental Kingdom would desperately try to lure the Yamata no Orochi towards the eastern Pacific, and the Western world would certainly do its utmost to stop it. The Yamata no Orochi would likely perish in the central Pacific. While the Continental Kingdom's coastal provinces would undoubtedly suffer, the West Coast of Mickey would also be in trouble, and Hawaii would likely be completely destroyed.

The world's oceans are basically interconnected. As the pollution spreads further along the ocean currents, the highly toxic water will reach the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. In the end, almost no country will be able to escape this disaster... Maybe Mongolia will not care, but the Western world will definitely not allow it. After all, this thing is more terrifying and lasting than nuclear waste water. The example of the Indochina Peninsula is right before our eyes.

Mitch's side didn't agree immediately, instead offering some ambiguous responses. The Lu Kingdom Privy Council wasn't in a rush either, as they were certain the West would eventually compromise, so they couldn't show any eagerness, lest they be blackmailed at the negotiating table.

While the higher-ups weren't anxious, Liu Longtao was. Today was the Kinki region, so where would the blood sacrifice take place tomorrow? Kanto? If a peerless demon king truly emerged, all of humanity would be doomed!
Mr. Jing was restless and made a fuss several times. The Privy Council had no choice but to allow him to fly to Sakura Empire alone and approve him to conduct investigations and act as he pleased.

With Liu Longtao gone, all domestic affairs would have to be handed over to Yan Yu. After all, Zhao Yuanzhen had to stay at the Wudang Mountain base (given her personality, the Privy Council wouldn't trust her to handle things on her own), and Zhou Hongyu's injuries from her tribulation hadn't healed yet, so Yan Yu was the only one who could be called upon.

Yan Yu was also stunned. He didn't expect that things would turn out this way and end up adding more burdens to his shoulders.

There is no choice but to work. After all, the country cannot be without Jindan Zhenren.

"So why are you my assistant?" he asked with empty eyes.

"Why can't it be me?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile, "Ruoxi has successfully passed the tribulation. The next one is Yunjin, and the next one is Yang Linhui. It will be my turn in the third batch."

She deliberately came closer, her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, and her delicate face smiled sweetly:
"Or do you not want to see me and want someone else to be your assistant? Sure, I'll go get someone for you who you want to sleep with."

"Go away." Yan Yu pushed her face away. "I don't have the energy to look for anyone right now. I can't even finish my work. What are your plans for tonight?"

"I'll arrive in Nanchuan at 7pm. As a Jindan cultivator, I'll visit the Pingxi Army headquarters to greet the representatives of the advanced military monks." Chen Lingyun didn't even bother to check the schedule, answering fluently and without error. "It's expected to last 30-40 minutes. Then, at 8pm, I'll head north to Hanzhong to conquer the secret realm of the Immortal Mansion in Zibai Mountain."

"It's estimated to take two hours to conquer the secret realm. We'll continue north to Chang'an at 2 pm to cooperate with the scientific research base to conduct experiments on activating specific magic weapons. If we're late in conquering the secret realm, this part of the trip will be postponed or even canceled."

"At 11pm, we'll continue to the Helan Mountains and conquer two secret areas there. We expect to finish by 2-3am..."

"Stop!" Yan Yu raised his hand and said, "Why are you working all night? Although monks don't have to sleep, you can't let me work 24 hours a day, right?"

"This was originally Jing Ye's schedule." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "It's him who arranged it so full."

"He's an iron man, he can withstand this." Yan Yu said immediately, "I can't handle it, turn some of it down for me."

"We must conquer the secret realms as soon as possible. We can't delay," Chen Lingyun said thoughtfully. "They are all Jindan-level secret realms. You're the only Jindan cultivator available in the country right now, so I can't turn them down. The Pingxi Army's consolation ceremony and scientific research experiments can be moved to tomorrow. So, from 7:0 to midnight tonight, we'll conquer three secret realms in Zibai Mountain and Helan Mountain..."

"Surrender." Yan Yu raised his hands and said, "I surrender. If you have any tricks, just use them. I can't be a ruthless secret realm raiding robot."

"Solution? I don't have any." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "The secret realm can't be opened without you, what should I do? Otherwise, you come up with a solution and help me form the pill earlier, and then I can help you share the burden."

It was impossible for Chen Lingyun to achieve Dan-forming early, because the country needed to work overtime to produce the materials needed to pass the tribulation. Therefore, they couldn't all pass the tribulation together. The one with the higher chance of passing the tribulation would definitely form Dan-forming first. Moreover, passing the tribulation later would give them a greater intelligence advantage, so even Chen Tianming wouldn't agree.

"Forget it." Yan Yu looked out the window with some boredom, "Let's go to the Pingxi Army Headquarters first."

Because their schedule was so packed, they chose not to fly by sword, but instead took a chartered plane to Nanchuan. While a plane wasn't as fast as a sword, flying a sword required full concentration on the sword, while flying a plane was much easier. Professional flight attendants were on hand to assist them in the cabin, so they could comfortably handle everything without having to do anything themselves.

There's even a built-in jacuzzi in the cabin!

Yan Yu wasn't one for pleasure. As a mortal warrior in his previous life, he was already accustomed to hardship and endurance. But firstly, he had never used a jacuzzi or tried bathing on an airplane. Secondly, the thought of his busy schedule was extremely troubling. So, he instructed Chen Lingyun:
"Go out, I want to take a bath." "Okay, I'll get you a bathrobe." Chen Lingyun left gracefully.

Yan Yu pulled up the curtain around the bathtub, then started running water, took off his clothes, and finally lay down in the bathtub.

Monks are immune to cold and heat, especially when they reach the Golden Elixir realm, their ability to withstand heat and cold is even more amazing, but this does not mean that monks cannot get pleasure from taking a bath.

As his entire body was immersed in the hot water, Yan Yu sighed with contentment, feeling that all the pores in his body were unblocked.

"I've brought you the bathrobe." Chen Lingyun said to him through the curtain.

"Put it on the chair outside first." Yan Yu said.

"Yeah." Chen Lingyun did not leave, but just stood outside the curtain.

"Why don't you leave?" Yan Yu looked at her figure, "What are you doing?"

"Yes." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "I want to come in and take a bath too."

Yan Yu:………………

Did you come in just to take a bath? I'm too lazy to expose you!

In her previous life, Chen Lingyun wasn't like she is now. Initially, she'd had sex quite frequently, but after a few weeks, she'd lost interest. Eventually, it was only once or twice a month.

Of course, as the captain of the Spiritual Luck Team, Chen Lingyun's previous life was extremely busy, which may have affected her physiological functions to some extent. For a man obsessed with controlling power, love and affection are of very low priority in his heart, and the same is true for women.

In this way, now because I hold up the sky above her head, she is more willful and free than in her previous life.

It was my fault!

Yan Yu did not say anything to stop him, but turned on the massage switch of the bathtub.

I'm tired from the journey, so I need to relax first. She wants to come in and take a bath, which is none of my business. Anyway, she is only about 1.5 meters tall and petite, so she won't squeeze me if she lies down.

Chen Lingyun opened the curtain, stretched out her jade feet and stepped into the bathtub. She looked at the space opposite that Yan Yu had specially left for her, but did not go over to soak in it. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Let me massage your muscles."

"There is a bathtub." Yan Yu said lazily.

"The jets in this massage bathtub can only reach the back." Chen Lingyun gracefully bent over, her tone rising, "Leave the front to me."

--------

After the plane arrived in Nanchuan, it landed at the airport.

Yan Yu changed his clothes and walked out of the cabin. When he was blown by the cold wind outside, his legs felt weak for some reason.

Alas, the massage was supposed to relax me, but I ended up feeling even more tired. What’s going on?
Chen Lingyun, whether in her past life or this life, is indeed a born evil female ghost!
Only I can suppress it!
In the cabin, Chen Lingyun slumped in the hot water without any posture, staring at the cabin ceiling with a dazed look in her eyes.

It took a very long time before she finally came back to her senses from the rising mist and got rid of her originally hazy and blank thoughts.

The memory palace in his mind originally stored all kinds of useful knowledge and things of interest, but now most of it is occupied by knowledge related to Yan Yu.

His appearance, figure, personality, way of thinking, everything about him... and the ideas and plans on how to influence him, train him, and even completely conquer him were almost constantly turning in Chen Lingyun's mind.

In order to achieve this goal, whether it is the body or the soul, the dignity or the self, they are all chess pieces that can be placed on the chessboard and the means to achieve the result.

Chen Lingyun stretched out two slender fingers, clamped the non-existent, imaginary white chess queen in the air, and then gently dropped it down, landing it on the black king's chess piece.

Just like her and Yan Yu just now.

"Checkmate~" she said in a cheerful tone.
