She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 417 - Capturing Yin Mingchong Alive

Chapter 417: Capturing Yin Mingchong Alive

The Eight Towers Mountain was surrounded by seven mountains. Because the terrain was uneven, every rainy season, there would always be several flying waterfalls on the Eight Towers Mountain. The water pa.s.sed through the small river in the valley and flowed into the valley at the back of the mountain, forming a lake.

There was an underground river under that lake that led to the outside world of the Yin Clan. Back then, Zhou Buwen had sneaked into the Yin Clan through that underground river.

However, very few people knew about the existence of the underground river. Only the Patriarch and elders knew.

The reason why Yu Huang knew was also because of Yu Donghai.

Yu Donghai was Yin Mingjue’s most trusted right-hand man. Yin Mingjue had once told Yu Donghai about the existence of the underground river. Unless the Yin Clan was in danger, the existence of the underground river wouldn’t be made public.

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao brought Dean Di Ruofeng to the back mountain. On the way, the core disciples who had just finished their cultivation saw them.

A handsome male disciple stopped in his tracks and bowed to them. He asked respectfully in a low voice, “Disciple Yin Zhongheng greets Young Master. Young Master, Dean Di, where are you going?”

Yu Huang raised the fruit bag in her hand and said, “I’ve long heard that the August melons in the clan are sweet and delicious. My grand-mentor likes to eat wild fruits. I’ll bring him to the back mountain to pick some fruits.”

Yin Zhongheng told Yu Huang, “There are many snakes and insects in the back mountain, and the path is remote. Few people go there. Why don’t we bring you there? We’re familiar with the path in the back mountain.”

Currently, besides Yin Mingchong and his trusted aides, everyone in the Yin Clan, be it the disciples or the clansmen, welcomed Yu Huang’s return.

With that idiotic and brainless Yin Fu as a comparison, Yu Huang, the legitimate young master, was simply too good.

Who would complain about having too many people watching the drama? Yu Huang only hoped that the more people there were, the better.

She said, “I heard that the August melons are ripe. Call a few more people. We’ll pick more and bring them back. They’ll be useful at the banquet tomorrow.”

“That’s true.”

“Then please wait a moment, Young Master. I’ll call a few seniors to help.”

“Yeah, okay.”

After they left, Yu Huang brought the old dean to sit on a stone chair. The old dean smiled and said, “I knew you were a fox long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent you to retrieve the red elm tree root.”

Hearing this, Yu Huang smiled and said, “So the contents of our academy’s annual graduation test were custom-made for us?”

“Only a portion of them.”

Not everyone could receive this honor.

Yu Huang couldn’t help but think of Feng Si’s mission two years ago. She asked Dean Di, “Grand-mentor, why did you let Feng Yuncheng go to the Iron Thunder Army to get close to Beatrice?”

Di Ruofeng smiled and said, “Her Highness suffered a lot. She once studied in the Divine Realm Academy, but later found that cultivation in the academy was far less suitable for her than on the battlefield, so she quit school. I’ve always been concerned about that child’s situation. Considering the uniqueness of Feng Yuncheng’s beast form, I sent him to Her Highness.”

“Her Highness has developed malice and resistance towards men because of her childhood experience. I hoped that Feng Yuncheng could change Her Highness’s att.i.tude and opinion of this world.”

“As the dean, I’m unwilling to give up on any student of mine.” He hoped that every student would turn out well.

“Grand-mentor.” Yu Huang pondered for a moment before asking hesitantly, “Grand-mentor, how much do you know about my friend, Na Luo?”

Di Ruofeng narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything this time.

Yu Huang couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know that she’s an ancient fish?”

Di Ruofeng didn’t want to lie to Yu Huang.

He nodded and said, “I did.”

Yu Huang’s expression changed slightly.

The dean knew?

Did he know about Na Luo’s relations.h.i.+p with the Blood Peac.o.c.k?

The dean was also an old fox. When he saw Yu Huang’s expression change slightly, he knew what this girl was thinking. Di Ruofeng shook his head and told her, “I didn’t know her relations.h.i.+p with the Blood Peac.o.c.k.”

Hearing the dean’s explanation, Yu Huang felt more at ease.

“That child looked for me once before she entered school. She took the initiative to confess her true ident.i.ty to me and also revealed that she hated the merfolk. Although she hid something from me, everything she said was true. When I was young, I was seriously injured and fell into the Divine Sea. Fortunately, she saved me. At that time, I promised her that I could help her do something.”

“Later, she took the initiative to look for me and asked to enter the academy as an ordinary merman. To keep my promise, I agreed. The reason why I arranged for her to stay in your dormitory was also because of careful consideration.”

“At that time, Lin Jiansheng came to look for me and told me your ident.i.ty as a Dual Cultivator. Considering that you had Lin Jiansheng as your backer and that you were smart and outstanding, even if Na Luo had ulterior motives, you should have been able to remain clear-headed. That was why I let her stay in your dormitory.”

Di Ruofeng didn’t expect the mysterious and powerful ancient fish to cooperate with the Blood Peac.o.c.k.

Yu Huang recalled Na Luo’s innocent facade when they first met. There was no trace of acting at all, so he felt heartfelt admiration.

“Young Master, we’re here!”

At this moment, Yin Zhongheng climbed up the mountain with six to seven male disciples.

“Let’s go to the back mountain.”

The lake at the back of the mountain was in the valley to the north of the mountain. Everyone went around to the north of the mountain and took the cable car to the lake.

Beside the lake was an undulating valley. The forest was filled with spiritual trees, and wild August melon vines wrapped around those spiritual trees.

Yin Zhongheng led the disciples up the tree and nimbly plucked all the ripe August melons before gently placing them into the basket.

Yu Huang picked an already cracked August melon and shared it with Sheng Xiao. The old dean sat on a tree branch and savored the delicious taste.

Anna was afraid that the tree branch would ruin her dress, so she didn’t help pick it. She stood beside Yu Huang and stood on her tiptoes to ask her, “Where is that mouse hiding?”

Yu Huang chuckled and said, “Watch carefully.”

Yu Huang suddenly turned around and said to Yin Zhongheng, “Senior Brother, is the water in this lake clean? My grand-mentor’s beast form needs to soak in water for a while every day to feel comfortable.”

Who didn’t know that Dean Di’s beast form was a super ancient alligator?

Yin Zhongheng hurriedly replied, “The lake water in the back mountain is very clean and can be drunk directly.”

“Grand-mentor, go take a bath.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Dean Di finished the August melon in two bites. He threw away the melon skin, got up, and jumped into the sky.

At the same time, an ancient alligator that was more than half the length of a lake appeared in the sky. The alligator raised its head and let out a low cry.

“Roar!”

Seeing this scene, Yin Zhongheng and the others were so frightened that their legs went weak.

They climbed up the tree trunk and looked at the ancient alligator above the lake in admiration and awe. They exclaimed, “Is this the dean’s beast form? The ancient alligator is really mighty!”

The ancient alligator smashed into the lake, causing countless splashes that drenched Yin Zhongheng and the others’ clothes and faces.

Yin Zhongheng wiped the water off his face and said in a daze, “This is the aura of a super expert!” He even put his finger under his nose and sniffed, as if he had smelled the aura of a super expert, and he showed an awed gaze.

Yu Huang felt speechless. She pressed her eyebrows helplessly and shook her head in disdain.

Sheng Xiao chuckled and sighed. “The Yin family’s disciples are quite cute.”

Yu Huang felt even more embarra.s.sed.

On the other hand, Yin Mingchong, who was hiding at the bottom of the lake and was about to escape through the secret river pa.s.sageway, suddenly froze when he heard Di Ruofeng’s roar.

Dean?

Wasn’t he chatting with Yu Huang in the Young Master’s Mansion? Why did he suddenly come to the back mountain?

Yin Mingchong couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it, and he hurriedly used his spirit energy to remove the seal at the entrance of the underground river pa.s.sageway. When he saw that the seal was about to be successfully removed, a huge ancient alligator suddenly smashed into the lake, and it shook the lake until a layer of waves arose.

Yin Mingchong suddenly slapped the seal, and the stubborn seal was finally removed. A underground river pa.s.sageway that was hidden in the water instantly appeared before Yin Mingchong’s eyes.

Yin Mingchong turned around and glanced at the giant alligator in the water before swimming into the underground river pa.s.sageway. He’d just entered half of his body when the protective s.h.i.+eld around his body was broken by a powerful force. After that, his foot was grabbed by a sharp claw.

The sharp claws were very powerful and incomparably sharp. They directly cut through the flesh on his ankle and reached his flesh.

Without the protection of the protective s.h.i.+eld, the lake water immediately poured into Yin Mingchong’s mouth. Yin Mingchong turned around in panic and glanced behind him before suddenly meeting a pair of dark golden beast eyes.

In front of Di Ruofeng, who was close to the Prime Emperor Realm, Yin Mingchong, who was only at the peak of the late-stage grand-mentor Realm, instantly felt the spiritual energy in his body being suppressed, and his body stiffened.

Those beast eyes looked at him playfully, as if saying: I dare you to continue escaping!

The alligator grabbed Yin Mingchong’s ankle and pulled him out of the pa.s.sageway.

Yin Mingchong understood that once he was captured by Di Ruofeng, all the things he’d done would be completely exposed! The good image he’d managed for half his life would instantly be ruined.

He couldn’t be caught!

Yin Mingchong suddenly summoned his beast form.

Yin Mingchong’s beast form was a roc. In the water, a roc was mainly in the form of a giant fish, and it would transform into the form of a giant bird when it left the water.

At this moment, as soon as Yin Mingchong’s fish form appeared in the lake, the water level of the lake rose.

Yu Huang noticed that the water level was rising and immediately smiled.

Under the water, the fish swung its fins and immediately flipped the thousand-foot-tall lake water. The lake water turned into countless sharp blades that stabbed towards the ancient alligator.

Seeing this, the ancient alligator released its sharp claws.

After finally escaping from Di Ruofeng’s grip, the fish immediately transformed into his human form and quickly entered the secret pa.s.sage of the underground river.

Dean Di smiled disdainfully and suddenly flew out of the lake. He opened his b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and sucked hard, sucking in all the water in the lake.

The lake water decreased visibly.

Yin Zhongheng and the others were stunned.

What was the dean doing?

Could it be that after taking a shower, he felt that the lake water was clear and refres.h.i.+ng and planned to drink all the water in the lake?

“The dean’s appet.i.te is too big.” Yin Zhongheng and the others were stunned when they saw the lake water decreasing and they could already see the bottom of the lake that was covered in mud.

Was the water really that delicious?

At this moment, Anna suddenly pointed at a vortex at the bottom of the lake and shouted, “What is that? Is it a person?!”

Upon hearing this, Yin Zhongheng and the others hurriedly looked in the direction Anna was pointing at. Sure enough, they saw a person lying at the center of the lakebed and struggling to crawl towards the bottom!

“Huh? Who is that?!”

Yin Mingchong noticed that the lake water had been drained by Di Ruofeng, and he realized that his existence had definitely been exposed, so he slipped away even faster.

However, ever since Yu Huang was stolen 20 years ago, the Yin Clan’s elders had jointly set up 10 spiritual seals in the secret pa.s.sageway. The seal that Yin Mingchong had broken earlier was only the seal of the 10th Elder.

In front, there were still the remaining nine elders’ spiritual power seals!

Yin Mingchong exhausted all his spirit energy and barely broke five seals at once.

He escaped to the fifth seal and heard a cold snort in the sky.

Immediately after, Di Ruofeng stretched out his claw into the secret pa.s.sageway at the bottom of the lake that was covered in mud, grabbed Yin Mingchong’s feet, and forcefully pulled him out. He threw Yin Mingchong in the direction of Yin Zhongheng and the others.

Bang!

Yin Mingchong’s body smashed onto a spirit tree, and he instantly saw stars.

He fell beside the tree root and looked up to see a few core disciples staring at him in disbelief.

Yin Mingchong instantly lowered his head in embarra.s.sment.

“Second Patriarch!”

Yin Zhongheng and the others shouted in shock, “Second Patriarch, why were you hiding at the bottom of the lake?!”
