The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 291 - 290 Reinforcements

Yang Li could only feel that he was still too young, having actually thought that the Scorpion King aspired to become the Demon King.

"I had initially thought that amid such peril, the Scorpion King stopped me because he surely had a brilliant plan, but who could have predicted such an absurd proposal?"

"What’s so absurd about it?"

"If we surrender, what will become of the countless members of the Demon Tribe?"

Upon hearing Yang Li’s words, the Scorpion King was taken aback.

"Were you always this naive?"

The Scorpion King truly marveled. How could such a naive demon have cultivated to such a level, and moreover, a Sheep Demon at that?

"Why do you say that?"

"I just ask you, out of the myriads of the Demon Tribe, how many are of your kin? I see among them many jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, who, before achieving enlightenment, preyed on your kind for food. Today, King Diao, for the power of kingship, deliberately stirs up trouble, causing us to fight with the Human Race. Isn’t it also treating us as food? If we surrender now and go to the Human Race, we will surely receive their courteous treatment."

"But if we surrender today and the Demon Tribe’s momentum is lost, wouldn’t we be bullied by the Human Race?"

"You needn’t worry about that. Given that once the Demon Tribe is in dire straits, the power of the king will awaken, it will naturally rejuvenate the Demon Tribe. By then, the Human Race, in order to entice the Demon Tribe to surrender, will surely treat you and me well. We will certainly live more comfortably than staying in the Demon Tribe. I have said all that I have to say. Consider it for yourself!"

Yang Li was finally moved by these words, yet he was puzzled, "Why did the Scorpion King only call for me?"

"Among the Eight Great Demon Kings – the eagle, tiger, leopard, bear, wolf, cat – only you are herbivorous."

Yang Li: "..."

It had been many years since he last ate grass, but what the Scorpion King said made sense.

"So, what do we do next?"

"That’s simple. Come closer, and let me explain it to you slowly..."

In the cave of the scorpion spirit, Yang Li, the Great Immortal, had been duped; in the end, the Scorpion King managed to taste a bit of mutton.

On another front, the Central Plains Human Race, who saw victory within their grasp, were also looking very solemn.

Not long before, Yuxuan had sent orders for the Flower Fairy and Lin Yu to head north to resist the Grassland People.

These two were the main forces against the Demon Tribe.

Without them, the Demon Tribe might not launch an attack, but ending the battle would not be so easy.

Victory was just one step away, and suddenly, this mess had cropped up, leaving the leaders in a terrible mood.

"In my opinion, we should take down the Demon Tribe first, then heading to Mountain and Sea Pass won’t be too late. The heritage lies there; surely we can withstand a delay of just a day or two."

Fang Yu wanted to take a risk, but Jiang Chenyu raised an objection, "Sister Yu is very proficient in the art of Heavenly Mandate calculations. This matter may have unexpected developments. What’s more, we do not have absolute confidence in defeating the Demon Tribe within two days. It is better to follow the plan."

Fang Yu and Jiang Chenyu were originally good friends, but, at this moment, they disagreed.

According to Yuxuan’s arrangement, they could ensure that Mountain and Sea Pass would be safe. However, this approach could lead to a protracted battle.

Concerned about the Demon Race wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, they were all committed to fighting with all their might, attempting a swift conclusion to the battle. If they halted their offensive now, who knew what other variables might arise.

"Lin Yu, what do you think?"

Fang Yu tried to win over Lin Yu, believing that Lin Yu’s choice would align with hers.

The Righteous-Demon Alliance of today lacked an absolute leader. Everyone there had a high level of cultivation, and one could not expect anyone to simply obey another. When faced with decisions, they usually discussed them together, with the minority submitting to the majority.

"I think it’s better to listen to Elder Sister Yu. The Demon Tribe is merely a minor irritation; the Great Desert is the true concern."

Fang Yu: "..."

Seeing Lin Yu choosing to follow Yuxuan’s directives, more and more people decided to go along with Yuxuan’s plans.

The Flower Fairy looked at the people present and couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

This war was supposed to be her best opportunity. The Human Race was determined to annihilate the upper echelons of the Demon Tribe, who would surely resist to the death. By then, both parties would suffer, and she could demonstrate her true strength and snap all her enemies like twigs.

Unfortunately, this was when the north called for reinforcements, and specifically requested her presence on the battlefield.

It couldn’t be helped.

In the end, after some discussion, it was decided that Lin Yu would accompany the Flower Fairy to the north for support.

Fang Yu let out a silent sigh. She didn’t blame Lin Yu for having a differing opinion—she just regretted the missed opportunity for battle.

"The situation in the north is precarious. You should set out immediately."

Now that the decision was made, Fang Yu didn’t struggle and directly summoned Lightning Diao to carry the two of them.

Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy had nothing else to prepare and could set off right away.

Only then did Fang Yu pull Lin Yu aside and whisper, "I originally thought that the battle in the south would end quickly, so that Lin Yun could have returned by now. But with today’s complications, things are probably not that simple. You must be extremely careful."

"I understand. Thank you, Sect Leader."

With that, Lin Yu boarded the Lightning Diao, joined by the Flower Fairy. Transforming into a bolt of lightning, they flew toward Mountain and Sea Pass.

On the way, with just the two of them, the Flower Fairy finally said, "Sister Yu, do you think we’ll get to see Lin Yun this time?"

The Flower Fairy was quite happy to go north; she had been extremely anxious when Lin Yun disappeared, almost slipping back into a darker self.

In her urgency, she broke through to the Celestial Knowing Realm without much effort.

She had been on the cusp of a breakthrough anyway, and now it was just a matter of letting things take their course.

Thankfully, after receiving a message from Lin Yu that Lin Yun was not dead, she felt much more at ease.

"Hopefully, we will see him. If the trouble with the Demon Tribe were resolved, he could have returned already. Going undercover is just too dangerous."

"I actually think he will turn misfortune into a boon! You see, he’s so clever and well-mannered, even as an undercover agent, I don’t think he’ll be in danger."

The Flower Fairy felt Lin Yun was not that simple. It was just that Lin Yu was too involved to see through it.

"Let’s hope so!"

Lin Yu did not catch the Flower Fairy’s hint and the Flower Fairy had to let it go. She changed the subject and said, "I heard that the Witch of the Grassland has a Divine Artifact. I’m not sure if I can defeat her this time!"

Hearing her mention the Snow Maiden, Lin Yu could not help but look serious and said, "I feel that Snow Maiden is not an ordinary opponent. I even sense that she might be my destined rival. It’s a pity that last time was so rushed, and I didn’t get to fight her."

"Then how about I let you have the opportunity this time? I could even lend you Sky-splitter!"

The Flower Fairy playfully teased, as Lin Yu waved her off and casually said, "A Divine Artifact is just a tool after all. The sword in my heart surpasses any Divine Artifact by far."

"That’s true. But Sister Yu, why has your Heart Sword suddenly become so much more powerful? It’s not because Lin Yun helped you again, is it?"

The Flower Fairy just wanted to tease Lin Yu a bit. Last time, when Lin Yu restored her cultivation level, it was with a kiss from Lin Yun.

Little did she know, this time was even more...

Hearing this, Lin Yu’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she chided, "Don’t ask so much. Take a rest. We may have a battle ahead of us soon."

The Flower Fairy: "???"

You’re acting a bit strange!
