The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 150: The Teacher (13th Update)

The human heart is a curious thing. In the Cultivation World where power reigns supreme, it still cannot triumph over the human heart.

Take the Demon Sect from thousands of years ago, for example, its Sect Hierarch had the highest cultivation level in the world, and the Demon Sect’s influence was unmatched. Even so, the Sect Hierarch eventually was killed by those from the Righteous Path, and the Demon Sect fell apart.

When Ming Xin publicly exposed Mu Yunyan’s attempt on Lin Yu’s life, the Elders present began to feel disgust towards Mu Yunyan.

And now, recalling what Lin Yun had said earlier, "Is this Sword Sect the Sword Sect of the Baili Family, or is it everybody’s Sword Sect?"

If these Elders, too, were to train disciples as outstanding as Lin Yu, would they also be schemed against for obstructing someone from the Baili Family from succeeding the position of Sect Master?

At this moment, three generations of authority accumulated by the Baili Family instantly crumbled.

Only the Elders from the Baili Family still stood by Baili Liuyun’s side, while many other Elders were even contemplating not letting anyone from the Baili Family become the Sect Master again.

The Sword Sect is a sect, not a hereditary monarchy or family clan.

Do all these non-Baili Family Elders and disciples have to become subordinates to the Baili Family in the future?

Nobody wanted that.

And now was the best opportunity, with Baili Liuyun grievously injured and Mu Yunyan virtually incapacitated in combat.

If someone were to call out, Baili Liuyun’s position as Sect Master would be untenable.

Interwoven with shock and rage, Mu Yunyan looked at Ming Xin, filled with incomprehension.

"Why would you go to such lengths for your disciple, even risking your life to slander our Baili Family? Could you have an unspeakable relationship with your disciple? I knew that woman had a licentious streak; she’s best at seducing men."

Mu Yunyan firmly denied any involvement in the matter, even going so far as to slander Ming Xin in return.

"Shut your mouth!"

Baili Liuyun spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

Women causing trouble!

Denying it was the right move, after all, everything was just Ming Xin’s word, and even at the expense of his life, he could drag Ming Xin down by suggesting that Hong Rui had deceived him.

But this foolish woman did not go in that direction but instead chose to attack Ming Xin directly.

Do you think these many Elders would believe your nonsense?

If you are going to throw mud, at least claim he is an agent from the Demon Sect trying to foment discord, not that he has an improper relationship with his disciple. You should know that Ming Xin, he is...

"Why do you not understand why I would do this? Your son has died; don’t you seek vengeance, too?"

Ming Xin grasped the people by his side and slowly stood up.

Even though he should have been the criminal, the surrounding Elders carefully took care of him. In turn, they regarded the injured Mu Yunyan and Baili Liuyun with hostility.

"Lin Yu was raised by my own hands. Though not of my own flesh and blood, she was like a child to me. All my life, due to my physical impairments, I have had no chance with the Great Dao. But Yu’er was talented and intelligent, and surely destined to become a powerhouse one day. It was because of you, a woman’s jealousy, that everything about her was destroyed. I would like nothing more than to rip you apart with my own hands.

However, over this period, I thought of a better way. I want you to watch as you lose everything, and then die in agony. I will be waiting for you in the netherworld!"

After Ming Xin uttered these words, he became faint.

He knew his time was short.

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer hearing the commotion around him, and distant memories surfaced in his mind: the tragic beginning of his life, the wars of his childhood, his father’s death, his mother’s survival and remarriage, and the birth of a stepbrother. Out of desperation, his family sold him into the Imperial Palace.

By chance, he caught the eye of a Sword Sect expert patronizing a palace feast.

He had excellent innate qualities, suited for cultivating the Sword Dao.

But by then, his heart had already been hardened by the mortal world, and his master named him Ming Xin, hoping he would come to understand the heart of the Dao.

Years of hardship and tribulations passed before he barely achieved the Celestial Knowing Realm.

It was only after reaching this realm that he knew, this was his limit.

Originally, due to the deficiencies in his body, it would have been impossible for him to even achieve Mortal Transcendence, but his master had consumed countless Spiritual Medicines and had others perform secret techniques just for him to transcend.

But a higher realm was out of the question.

Generally, cultivators who reach the Enlightened Realm would have this intuition.

Thus, some cultivators would start to procreate.

It is only those cultivators who give up the pursuit of higher realms that would begin to procreate, for once a cultivator has offspring, the child will draw away a strand of the cultivator’s essence, and without their essence, naturally, there is no hope for the Great Dao.

For someone like Ming Xin who was already missing a part of their essence before they began cultivating, being able to cultivate to the Celestial Knowing Realm was a sign of exceptional talent.

The only wish of his master before death was for Ming Xin to continue their lineage.

Ming Xin had no fate with the Dao, no attachment to this world, and his master’s dying wish became his motivation for living.

As he traveled everywhere, he didn’t meet a disciple to his liking, until one day, when passing through White Tiger Ridge, he found a baby girl there.

The baby girl had a piece of white jade in her mouth and bright, lively eyes; Ming Xin took a liking to the youngster at first glance.

Because she was found in the forest and possessed a jade piece, he named her Lin Yu.

From then on, Ming Xin became a father...

The scenes flew by faster and faster, and Ming Xin could hardly see clearly anymore, only hearing Lin Yu calling him master again and again, as well as the last scene to freeze.

"This is the last time I’ll call you master..."

"Yu’er, don’t blame your master, I’m not talented enough, this is all I can do..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Master!"

Ming Xin slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Yu rushing towards him rapidly, with a blurry red shadow following her.

Silly child, you’ve already left, why come back...

Ming Xin fell, and Mingjing beside him supported him, looking at his aged and shriveled face’s smile, Mingjing’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Master!"

Lin Yu hurried over, and others naturally made way for her.

Although she was no longer a disciple of the Sword Sect and even had conflicts with it, currently, aside from the Baili Family, the other Sword Sect disciples and elders did not harbor much hostility towards Lin Yu; instead, there was more pity.

Such a talent, ruined by the hands of a woman, and her master, to avenge her, actually endured for thirty years and even lost his life for it.

Cultivators are human too, they also have emotions.

At this moment, if anyone still tried to stop Lin Yu, that would be truly inhumane.

Regrettably, Ming Xin ultimately died, but having seen Lin Yu one last time before death, one wonders what his feelings were.

Lin Yu knelt on the ground with a thud, looking at her master who had already stopped breathing, tears streaming without cessation.

Not far away, Mu Yunyan’s eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Old fool, did you think you could make me lose everything and then die?

Before I die, I will take two down with me!

Ming Xin’s Sword Qi rampaged within her, and she was completely unable to resist it, but she could endure it for a moment, killing a mortal was still possible.

Taking advantage of everyone’s focus being diverted to Lin Yu and Ming Xin, she quietly approached Lin Yu...
