Chapter 457 Twin Shadows (Part 2)

Yu Linglong ran all the way, holding her shoulder, until she was sure that no one was following her, then she stumbled into an alley and sat down cross-legged, panting.

"I'll... rest... for a while."

She felt her strength draining away very quickly, and she had never felt this weak when she was more seriously injured in the past.

"There's something wrong with his technique!" Shadow yelled, "You should have switched places with me earlier!"

"That's a killer, how can it be exposed so easily." Yu Linglong forced a smile, "If he notices that I have this ability, it might be difficult to escape."

Among the core members, only the most senior alchemists knew about the existence of Shadow, but even to them, Yu Linglong did not reveal all her cards. As another self, she can switch positions with Shadow at any time, which can be used for both attack and life-saving. This is also the reason why she is not afraid of exposing her identity as a sensor of qi and being imprisoned by the locals in Shenzhou. As long as Shadow exists, no shackles can really imprison her.

Of course, this technique also has limitations.

Yu Linglong couldn't use the shadow to penetrate walls or obstacles. The premise of the exchange was to be able to see what was within her sight. The same was true for the shadow. It seemed to be everywhere, but in fact its range of action depended on its own vision. In short, the shadow had to see where it was going first, and at the same time, she and the shadow had to be transparent, with nothing blocking the line of sight, in order to complete the exchange. If the room was intact, she naturally couldn't get out, but the hole that Fei Nian pierced in the door became her opportunity to escape.

It was with that sword hole that the shadow was the first to reunite outside the house, avoiding the other party's spell to block the entire house.

"I didn't expect that a dignified guard like me would be killed by a new alchemist and flee in despair." Yu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, "The world is changing so fast."

"What are you sighing about!" Shadow said angrily, "I warned you a long time ago not to interfere in this matter. Isn't it better to stay away from the capital?"

"Of course not... I still have to report to the Privy Council." She stood up with all her strength and continued to move forward.

"You're not going to go to the Privy Council like this, are you?" Shadow said anxiously, "You don't even know where Yu Yi Shi is now!"

"What nonsense are you talking about. I don't want to commit suicide, so of course I'll leave the city first." Yu Linglong took a breath, "Fei Nian will definitely not give up. I have the Seven Star Token, and I can pass through the city gate at night - if I don't leave now, I may not be able to leave tomorrow."

She also has a residence in the suburbs, and it is more hidden than the house in the city, so the chance of Fei Nian coming to her is not high. Although she really wants to spread the news, Yu Linglong also knows that she must not act rashly at this time.

She will get back at Fei Nian for Wei Wendao's revenge sooner or later!

...

Two days later, Yu Linglong finally found out the news in the palace.

Yu Yi Qian and Yunshang Jushi Baizhan had left the capital five days ago with the Royal Capital Guards, and their destination was clearly the direction of Shenzhou. After all, she was still a step late.

At the same time, a wanted order for her has appeared in the city. According to the general government, Yu Linglong left her post without permission, entered Shenzhou without receiving a transfer order, and then sneaked back to Shangyuan, and tried to assassinate her colleagues, which was a betrayal to the enemy. Although the friends who sent private messages did not believe that Yu Linglong would do such a thing, they still showed a considerable degree of doubt in their expressions.

After all, Fei Nian was seriously injured, and the black arrows and other objects left at the scene proved that this was indeed the ability of the guard "shooting shadow".

Yu Linglong did not tell the other party the truth of the matter, but only said that Fei Nian was not trustworthy, and let the other party leave.

"Just let him go?" The shadow appeared from behind.

"You are not still thinking about silencing him..." Yu Linglong glared at it weakly, "Those who are willing to help at this time are already taking a big risk."

This is also the reason why she chose to skip Fei Nian's matter-if she rashly involves a third person, it is not only easy to expose herself, but also easy to implicate the other party's life.

"Since Qian is no longer in Shangyuan, the plan ends here." Shadow crossed his arms and said, "Find a chance to go back to Jinxia. Although I don't like it there, I'm afraid Yan Qing is the only one who will take you in now."

"No... If I leave, who will stop this war..."

"Do you think you can stop it? Look at what you have become now!" Shadow yelled at her, "Without my support, you can't even stand steadily, what can you use to stop the will of the Seven Stars?"

After yelling, it immediately stepped back two steps, as if guarding against the slap that another self could blow out at any time.

Yu Linglong did not raise her hand.

The super recovery ability of the Taoist priest seemed to become less significant in front of the black fire. No matter how she drew air into her body in the past two days, her injuries did not improve at all. The burnt shoulder not only began to swell and pus, but also caused her whole body to have high fever symptoms.

Shadow was right. In this situation, let alone fighting, even standing up and taking two steps would be a problem.

The reason why she could still move was all because of Shadow's control of this body.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing her unusual calmness, Shadow became worried. He slowly approached the bed, "If taking the photo can make you feel better, I can still bear it..."

"Have you noticed?" Yu Linglong laughed softly, "You haven't called me a traitor recently."

"So what?" Shadow snorted, "What you did can no longer be described as betrayal, it's simply... simply..."

It mumbled for a long time but couldn't find the right words to describe it.

"Even if you don't admit it, you actually agree with my approach." Yu Linglong bit her lip and sat up, "If we let the Privy Council go its own way, it will be a real betrayal."

"I..." Shadow was in a stalemate for a long time, and finally turned his head away, "Whatever you say, I am you anyway, you know what you think."

"Then I will take it as your approval."

"I didn't--"

"If it's just me, I really can't do anything." Yu Linglong interrupted it and said, "But now you are still here, right? So--do me a favor and let me try again!"

"Try again... Do you want to contact other Taoist priests besides Qian?" Shadow said in surprise.

"The core members are not just Qian and Baizhan." She said intermittently, "I noticed it when Fei Nian attacked. Not only did he not know my ability, but he also did not mobilize more people throughout the process - even if I pulled in a garrison-level Taoist priest to help, I would have no way to escape. This probably shows that his use of evil magic was not recognized by other core members. Whether it is the An family or the Black Gate Sect, their infiltration in the Privy Council is far from the worst."

"But you can't guarantee that other people have not had contact with Fei Nian, and even if they know How many people can stand up like Qian when they get the news? "

"It does require taking risks." Yu Linglong admitted frankly, "But I also believe that the way everyone once fought for that common goal was not all fake. Senior Yan said Qian was trustworthy, but she didn't say that Qian was the only one who was trustworthy. If that were the case, the Privy Council would not have been the place where I worked for many years. "

The shadow stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed, "Anyway, if I don't agree, you won't give in, right?"

Yu Linglong didn't answer, but her eyes said it all.

"Forget it, I'll help you this last time. But I also have a condition-no matter who you choose from the remaining members, no matter what the result is, I will only meet you once. After meeting you, I will take you away from the capital immediately and never look back. "

"Deal. "Yu Linglong nodded. The shadow stretched out his hands and covered her, "Then give your body to me."
