The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 122 Dongfang Hongyue: It’s My Turn to Save the World
All through the latter half of the night, Lin Yun pondered over the feasibility of his plan.
This time, Green Lotus had commanded the Azure Dragon Gu Worm to bite him, which made Lin Yun realize that having weaknesses in the hands of such people from the Demon Sect meant he had to be prepared to be controlled by others.
Now, he still needed some time to completely sever the relationship between the Azure Dragon Gu Worm and Green Lotus.
Once he ensured the safety of the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, that would be the time for him to turn against Green Lotus.
The only strategy for the moment was to buy time.
Therefore, he would follow Green Lotus’s line of thinking and provide an insider traitor for him.
To convince Green Lotus that Hu Yuling was the insider traitor, he would need to fabricate some clues to make Green Lotus believe that Hu Yuling truly was the traitor.
And with these clues in place, he would certainly try to pin the blame on Hu Yuling as soon as possible and have the Shenxiao Sect investigate her.
Afterward, he would discreetly plant the Golden Thunderbolt at Green Lotus’s location, framing him and indirectly proving Hu Yuling’s innocence.
By then, the Shenxiao Sect’s hatred towards Green Lotus should reach MAX, shouldn’t it?
They stole our Sword Spirit and defamed our Elder, can such a person stay?
Being an enemy of a major sect, Green Lotus’s days ahead would likely be difficult.
In this way, Lin Yun would have the time to search for a method to solve the problem between the Gu Worm and its original master.
This plan is brilliant!
Lin Yun scrutinized each link of the plan carefully one by one, found no issues, and then went to look for the Golden Thunderbolt.
To achieve the goal of being framed and holding a grudge, and to make the Golden Thunderbolt escape in the end, it would require its cooperation.
If the Golden Thunderbolt was caught and brought back in the end, the Shenxiao Sect’s hatred towards Green Lotus might be much lighter.
To create trouble for Green Lotus, Lin Yun had made up his mind this time, I don’t even need the Sword Spirit!
His Divine Sense reached inside the Chaos Pearl, where Lin Yun found the Golden Thunderbolt seeming more lively today, and it appeared quite fond of him upon his arrival.
Ah, this...
Could it be I have some kind of hidden trait?
Anything that enters my body develops a high level of fondness for me?
Lin Yun had a strange thought, and at present, the only example supporting this theory was the Azure Dragon Gu Worm.
"Within three days at the latest, I will set you free,"
Lin Yun announced the good news to the Golden Thunderbolt upon entering.
The Golden Thunderbolt quite excitedly said, "You are really a good person! Thank you so much; I have no way to repay such a huge favor. Maybe I should offer myself to you?"
Lin Yun: "???"
"Is something wrong?"
The Golden Thunderbolt felt Lin Yun’s shock and confusion and mumbled, "In the past, those who wielded me would help others, and whenever someone said that, the wielder would ask for no other reward."
Lin Yun: "..."
So, it’s just that you don’t want to give any reward, isn’t it?
Lin Yun held back from commenting and said, "No need for that, I only need a small favor from you."
"Great, this method really works."
Lin Yun: "..."
If you would just transform into a sister for me, you would see whether I agree or not and that would be that.
"Listen to what I need you to do first..."
The secret plotting within Lin Yun’s body naturally went unnoticed by everyone.
When his divine sense emerged from the Chaos Pearl, all had been agreed upon.
Having nothing else to do, Lin Yun resumed his cultivation. His desire to grow stronger was becoming more urgent.
Flower Fairy: "..."
Is this man’s cultivation schedule always so irregular?
However, the initial urge to escape had now turned somewhat joyful for her. It felt as if Lin Yun was always by her side.
Tonight, Dongfang Hongyue quietly wrote in her diary.
"The first day without seeing that rebellious disciple, no news of him either. He promised he would miss me. With such a big incident happening at Shenxiao Sect, he didn’t even find the time to look for me, hmph, doesn’t even know how to make up a reason, what a stupid disciple!"
Flames danced on the jade slip, and after they went out, the text vanished with them.
Dongfang Hongyue put away the jade slip, thought about Lin Yun for a moment, shook her head, and flung that rebellious disciple from her mind, starting to analyze the loss of the Thunderclap Sword’s spirit.
Shenxiao Sect claimed it was Green Lotus’s doing, but Dongfang Hongyue was skeptical. She had been present when Zhang Xiuya leaked secrets; afterward, she had given Green Lotus a beating as a sign that Lin Yun was hers.
Green Lotus was no fool. Based on this, he should know that his conspiracy with Zhang Xiuya had been discovered. If the Thunderclap Sword of Shenxiao Sect had troubles now, it could easily backfire on him.
Yet, the sword spirit had been lost anyway, and Dongfang Hongyue was more inclined to believe that someone else might be responsible.
However, Dongfang Hongyue also had no evidence to prove Green Lotus’s innocence. If things continued on this path, a fierce clash between Shenxiao Sect and the Green Lotus Sect was inevitable.
Originally, a secret cooperation between the Righteous and Demonic Paths was what maintained the stability of the Central Plains. If these two major factions began an intense conflict, it could lead to the Demon Sect siding with the Green Lotus Sect and other righteous factions siding with Shenxiao Sect. The Demonic Path couldn’t defeat the Righteous Path, but the Righteous Path would also be severely weakened, leaving no strength to confront the Demon Tribe to the south and the barbarians to the north.
Considering also the initial hostility when the Human and Demon Races clashed, Yu Ling Sect claimed they were first attacked by the Demon Tribe, while the Demon Tribe said it was Yu Ling Sect who snuck into the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons to steal the young demons. They merely intended to teach Yu Ling Sect a lesson, but Yu Ling Sect went on to slay many water demons, which was an excessive bullying.
The war had erupted just like that. As Dongfang Hongyue sorted through this information, she suddenly felt as though an invisible hand was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, and a greater storm was brewing.
"Perhaps sending Lin Yun to Shenxiao Sect wasn’t the right choice. It might have been better to keep him by my side to protect him. But if he were with me, he would surely be up to no good again."
Dongfang Hongyue recalled the incident in the small woods, and her face began to heat up again.
She felt she might truly have a heart demon now. The symptoms had started when she had sent Lin Yun away. Since speaking her mind to Lin Yun yesterday, her heart had not been at peace for a moment.
Although she tried to restrain herself from thinking about him, images of Lin Yun and the things he had said and done would surface in her mind from time to time.
"I need to focus on important matters! With such a massive disaster ahead, I need to find a way to resolve it and save those who will be implicated. This is a great opportunity for virtuous merit!"
Dongfang Hongyue’s intellect intermittently returned to her.
Her cultivation of the Path of Virtuous Merit saw great calamities like this as opportunities.
Though, it was somewhat amusing to hear words about saving others from a Demon Lord like her.
"I must find the real mastermind to avoid a bloodbath."
Dongfang Hongyue gathered herself, wrote a fire talisman, and released it into the air, where it vanished. Before long, the image of Zhang Biyu appeared before her.
However, her expression was less than friendly.
"Sister Hong Yue, could you not send a fire talisman next time? In the dead of night, you almost burned my hair..."
