Chapter 199 - 198: Another actor
Yun Wuji's expression turned serious as he stretched out his hand to catch Yan Yao's body, which was flying toward him.
However, before he could touch her, Yan Yao stabilized herself, standing in front of him and facing the two men. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and, without looking at Yun Wuji, said, "Hurry, take the girls and leave. I'll hold them off!"
Looking at the woman who was ready to sacrifice herself to create a path for him to escape, Yun Wuji wore a moved expression on his face. But inside, he was snickering, 'This woman's acting skills aren't bad. If I didn't already know her identity, I might have actually fallen for her it.'
With this woman's identity, how could she possibly be injured by these two trash?
'But then again, she is quite lucky to have just randomly stumbled upon two Divine Sovereigns,' Yun Wuji thought as he looked at the two men rushing toward them, their bodies radiating deep killing intent.
He knew she was planning something like this, but he didn't think it would happen this fast. After all, Divine Sovereigns were very rare.
What he didn't know was that Yan Yao had another person coordinating with her. Her other partner had manipulated Dong Xueci into traveling their way, which was the real reason he just so happened to stumble upon them.
And was also the one who arranged the crime scene, planting clues that led the East Ruins Divine Sovereign to follow their trail.
Her act of killing the three disciples at the border was to ensure the East Ruins Divine Sovereign knew they were on the right track. Finally, when Yun Wuji left the barrier to search for the Wind Seed, Yan Yao secretly leaked her aura, leading them directly to her.
She was doing all of this to get closer to Yun Wuji. According to her master's advice, this man was extremely cautious, so trying to use a beauty trap wouldn't work. The best way to gain his trust was to go through a life-and-death situation alongside him.
A battle where she had to risk herself to save him, the trick was simple but highly effective. Who would doubt someone who saved their life at the risk of their own?
