Chapter 286 Azure Pool

Dugu Jianling saw right through him: "He's still up to no good. Even at a time like this, he's still thinking about picking up girls."

"I swear to God! I just thought Shui Wuhen would be easier to persuade."

Guided by Jian Wuchen, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling decided to go to Bibo Pool to seek Shui Wuhen's support.

As the master of Bibo Pool, Shui Wuhen is not only proficient in water-based magic, but also wields considerable influence in the eastern part of the Central Continent.

"The waters of Bibo Pool are said to be unparalleled, and its water magic is said to have reached a level of divine mastery," Yun Muhan said to Dugu Jianling as they walked, his voice filled with anticipation.

Dugu Jianling nodded, a sly glint in his eyes: "Indeed, Shui Wuhen's strength is not to be underestimated, but the intelligence network of Bibo Pool is also something we need. If we can get their help, the operation against the 'Shadow Moon Society' will be much smoother."

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling's journey took them across the mountains and rivers of the Central Continent, eventually leading them to the location of Bibo Pool.

Bibo Pool is hidden in a deep lake with crystal-clear water and a light mist floating on the surface, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.

The scenery here is tranquil and beautiful, like a paradise, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

They sailed to the center of the Azure Pool, where there was an island naturally formed from underwater rocks. On the island stood an exquisite palace, which was the residence of Water Without Trace.

The palace blends harmoniously with its surrounding natural environment, appearing both dignified and elegant, reflecting Shui Wuhen's taste and status.

The person who greeted them at the entrance led Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling to the palace, and couldn't help but grumble along the way: "You are lucky to be received by Lady Shui Wuhen in person. She is the master of this Bibo Pool, in charge of this body of water. She is powerful and wise."

The person who received the guest revealed their respect and admiration for Shui Wuhen.

"However, you must be careful, as Lady Shui Wuhen's temper is notoriously unpredictable. When she's in a good mood, she can be very generous, but when she's in a bad mood..." The person receiving them suddenly lowered their voice, seemingly hinting at something, but then left it unsaid, leaving the question unanswered.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling followed the person who greeted them, their eyes wary as they observed their surroundings. They knew that this meeting might be crucial to whether they could gain Shui Wuhen's support in their fight against the "Shadow Moon Society".

They must demonstrate their sincerity and strength, while also being prepared for any eventuality.

"Master Tan has a bad memory and often forgets important things, but... he always keeps mentioning one name."

"Do you always forget important things?"

"Yes! Your name is the one that Master Tan has been nagging about; otherwise, you wouldn't have been guided so quickly!"

"I?"

Yun Muhan: Does Shui Wuhen know me?

Dugu Jianling: Can I not have a crush on you?

As they approached the palace, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling grew increasingly nervous.

In the palace at Bibo Pool, Shui Wuhen's appearance was beyond Dugu Jianling's expectations. She was not the middle-aged man he had imagined, but rather, as Yun Muhan had predicted, a woman with extraordinary temperament.

Her appearance surprised the two of them, bringing a touch of novelty and excitement.

Shui Wuhen's eyes were deep, as if she could see into people's hearts; her gaze contained wisdom and strength.

Her beauty and strength coexist; she is both elegant and dignified, commanding respect. Her very presence exudes a powerful aura, compelling all who behold her.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling bowed respectfully, their attitude demonstrating their respect for Shui Wuhen and their recognition of her status.

Then, they began to explain their purpose to Shui Wuhen, their words cautious yet sincere.

"Lord of the Pool, the conspiracy of the 'Shadow Moon Society' has threatened the peace of the entire Central Continent. We hope that the Azure Wave Pool can join our alliance to fight against the 'Shadow Moon Society' together," Yun Muhan said sincerely.

Shui Wuhen listened quietly, her gaze lingering on the two men as if assessing their sincerity and strength.

“I have heard of your deeds, and your courage and determination have impressed me deeply.” Her voice was gentle yet firm. “However, Bibo Pool has never participated in the conflicts of the mainland, so I need to think about it.”

Dugu Jianling stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of determination: "Lord of the Pool, the ambition of the 'Shadow Moon Society' is not only to control the Central Continent, but their actions will ultimately affect the Azure Wave Pool. We are not asking the Azure Wave Pool to fight against the 'Shadow Moon Society' alone, but we hope that the Lord of the Pool can join forces with us to formulate a strategy together."

Shui Wuhen looked at Dugu Jianling, but only for a moment before turning her gaze to Yun Muhan. Her voice was gentle yet powerful, carrying an undeniable firmness: "I am willing to listen to your plan, but only willing to listen. I also need to see what value you can bring."

Yun Muhan realized that in order to persuade Shui Wuhen, they had to demonstrate sufficient strength and value.

He knew the importance of the Azure Pool's intelligence network to the Alliance, so he made a proposal: "Lord of the Pool, we understand the Azure Pool's position. We are not asking the Azure Pool to participate in the battle directly, but we hope to use the Azure Pool's intelligence network to provide us with information on the movements of the 'Shadowmoon Society'."

"In exchange, we can provide elixirs and military support to help Bibo Pool improve its defenses."

Dugu Jianling added, "Furthermore, we can share the intelligence we've gathered about the 'Shadowmoon Society,' which is undoubtedly invaluable to Bibo Pool. We share a common goal; only by uniting can we effectively combat the 'Shadowmoon Society.'"
