**Chapter 200 – I’m So Scared**
“What do we do now?” Baili Pangpang asked with a tearful face.
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t think blindly digging upward is a good idea. We’re too deep, and the geological structure is extremely complex. Without a suitable Forbidden Ruins for excavation, we might end up getting buried halfway. It’s been about an hour since we sent the distress signal. With the commotion caused by the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon, the other instructors will definitely notice and take action. Waiting for rescue is our best option.”
“I agree with Lin Qiye. Digging all the way back to the surface from here isn’t realistic. Let’s wait for rescue,” Instructor Hong nodded in agreement.
With both of them in favor, Shen Qingzhu and Baili Pangpang naturally had no objections. They sat down and rested where they were.
…
Much later, in the magma cavern.
The eerie glow in Yiyu’s eyes gradually faded, and a trace of fatigue appeared between his brows.
The churning lava in the cavern had calmed down. The Flame-Vein Earth Dragon’s eyes no longer held anger—only piety and obedience.
Yiyu smiled and stepped forward. The Flame-Vein Earth Dragon immediately lowered its head respectfully, not daring to act out.
Under the influence of the soul contract, the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon had become a Believer of Yiyu, just like the others or the “natural disasters,” completely subjugated at the mental level. It could not refuse any of his commands.
This was the terrifying power of [Yiyu].
Yiyu looked at the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon with satisfaction. Then, as if remembering something, he glanced into the distance in surprise.
“They didn’t try to keep going, but instead chose to wait for rescue? Smart… but in the face of absolute power, it’s meaningless.”
Yiyu turned his head and elegantly gave the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon an order: “Invite our guests here.”
The Flame-Vein Earth Dragon let out a low growl, and the surrounding [Absolute Earth Domain] began to shift. The complex network of tunnels came to life, rearranging themselves automatically.
At the same time, Lin Qiye and the others, who were resting in place, felt the world spin. Under a spatial distortion, they were instantly transported to a massive cavern filled with lava!
They quickly stood up, their expressions grave.
Lava. Flame-Vein Earth Dragon. A battered “Sea” Realm expert. And a mysterious man…
This was the core of the underground cave system the bat had mentioned.
Lin Qiye instantly understood their situation. Instructor Hong’s gaze fell on the enchanting man floating in the air, and his pupils shrank.
“Yiyu of the Church of the Ancient Gods?!” Instructor Hong recognized him at once.
“It seems my reputation has spread quite far within your Night Watch…” Yiyu said with a smile. “A dual-god agent, a super high-risk individual… and the young master of the Baili family? Tsk tsk tsk, what a haul. If I can turn the young master into one of my Believers, wouldn’t the entire Baili family fall into my hands?”
Yiyu stared at Baili Pangpang, his eyes gleaming as if he’d found a treasure.
Baili Pangpang’s face turned pale, but he stood tall and spoke calmly, “Don’t worry. Before you can control me, I’ll kill myself. You won’t use me to hurt a single person in the Baili family!”
“Oh?” Yiyu raised an eyebrow. “They say the young master of the Baili family is a carefree playboy. I didn’t expect such backbone.”
Instructor Hong stepped forward and sneered, “Yiyu of the Church of the Ancient Gods… nothing but a stray dog being hunted by the Spirit Medium special squad. And now you dare show off in front of kids?”
Yiyu frowned slightly. With a flick of his finger, a thick black chain emerged from the void behind him and bound Instructor Hong tightly.
“You don’t need to provoke me, Instructor. I know what you’re thinking,” Yiyu said with a chuckle. “Sacrifice yourself to buy time for the kids? You think too highly of yourself. How about I kill all of Night Watch’s precious seedlings right in front of you? First, I’ll kill the dual-god agent. Then I’ll turn the super high-risk and the Baili brat into my Believers. And finally, I’ll have them kill you with their own hands… How’s that for a script?”
Instructor Hong’s eyes widened, trying to roar something, but no sound came out—his voice had been completely cut off.
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes were red, about to lash out, when Lin Qiye suddenly spoke.
“Why can you turn them into Believers, but you have to kill me?” Lin Qiye looked calmly into Yiyu’s eyes. “I’m a dual-god agent. My value shouldn’t be any less than theirs.”
Yiyu narrowed his eyes at Lin Qiye, then smiled patiently. “Precisely because you’re a dual-god agent, I have to kill you. Your soul is already contracted to gods. If I try to bind you with another contract, I’ll suffer divine backlash. So, god agents can’t become [Believers]. They can only join the Church of the Ancient Gods willingly.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully. “Then… if I say I’m willing to join the Church of the Ancient Gods now, would you believe me?”
Yiyu studied Lin Qiye for a moment, then chuckled. “What do you think?”
“I think you would,” Lin Qiye said seriously. “I never lie.”
Yiyu shook his head with a smile. “Stop trying to stall. You have no chance of turning the tables. With the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon, Ma Yitian, and me, we have three Sea Realm powerhouses here. Even if all the instructors from your training camp came, they wouldn’t be a match. Unless a miracle happens, you have zero chance of survival.”
Yiyu’s enchanting phoenix eyes locked onto Lin Qiye’s as he whispered, “I’m curious—how did you become a dual-god agent? Was it coincidence? Or… something else?”
Lin Qiye’s eyes remained calm. He said nothing.
“Not talking? That’s fine. I’ll enter your soul myself and take a look at your secrets,” Yiyu said with a sinister smile.
Lin Qiye blinked, as if something had just occurred to him. “You’re going to enter my soul?”
“That’s right. In front of me, a human soul is just a toy. Once I fully control yours, I’ll learn all your secrets—and then tear it to shreds.”
A glint flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes. He blinked again and obediently said, “Oh…”
Yiyu was puzzled. “What? You’re not scared?”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then tentatively said:
“Oh nooo… I’m sooo scared?”
