The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 328 - 327: Women’s Infighting (3rd Update)
After hearing what the Book Immortal said, Lin Yun also felt a deep sense of crisis.
There would be an Empress who obtained his Divine Artifact, and Lin Yun thought it was possible that he might not be able to beat her and would have to honestly hand over the treasure, but Lin Yun was not someone who gave up easily.
He would admit defeat if he couldn’t win, but he wouldn’t surrender without even starting the fight.
Besides, he had already told Lin Yu that he dared to challenge fate.
Now that he had a premonition of the future, which was an advantage, Lin Yun thought about establishing his own power base.
His cultivation level wasn’t top-notch, but it wasn’t weak either, and combined with the Snow Maiden, they could hold their own against anyone, though the key factor was the Snow Maiden, which didn’t deny Lin Yun’s combat abilities.
Moreover, Lin Yun had always been troubled wondering if one day the Snow Maiden discovered he was a mole, or Fang Yu found out he was a mole, how heartbroken they would be!
At the time, Lin Yun had no solution, but now he had a strategy.
If I unify all the forces, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
As long as I don’t tell, who will know I’m a mole?
The first step is to start with the Snow Maiden. In the Central Plains, it is not easy for Lin Yun to rise to power. With his strength, even taking over the Shenxiao Sect is difficult, and taking over the Demon Sect is unrealistic, but in the Grassland, with the identity of the Divine Child, his status is only below the Grand Shaman and the Snow Maiden.
Now that there’s an issue with the Grand Shaman, perhaps he could join forces with the Snow Maiden and get rid of the Grand Shaman as well.
Although he must use the Snow Maiden through the whole process...
But if we don’t abandon you after using you, that’s not really a betrayal, is it?
A mole becoming the boss, then using the Grassland as a foundation, and with the support of Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yu, and the Flower Fairy, there’s a chance to compete for the Central Plains.
This Lin Yun listed as the next part of his plan.
As for Yuan Zidan, if Lin Yun could integrate the forces of both the Central Plains Grassland and Great Zhou, the mere Yuan Zidan would be of little concern.
Lin Yun had already thought through the path to becoming an Emperor. The process may not be smooth, but now he had a strategy.
After discussing, the Snow Maiden used mysterious prayers to send the results to the Grand Shaman.
This was the only person on the Grassland capable of long-distance communication, unlike in the Central Plains where the high-level officials could communicate using a talisman to pass messages.
"The Grand Shaman agrees. She said Ah Yun’s ideas are very good; he has the ability to command in battle. From now on, there’s no need to report to her for actions."
The Snow Maiden happily shared the Grand Shaman’s response with everyone, and the warriors all paid their respects to Lin Yun.
This represented their recognition of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun smiled slightly and said, "Now that the Grand Shaman has agreed, our next step is to cut timber and build ships, remember, we must proceed quietly."
Timber cutting and shipbuilding are not accomplished in a day. To prevent the Central Plains People from noticing, the Snow Maiden led some warriors in feigned attacks on the Mountain and Sea Pass, occasionally harassing them, without any intention of taking the Pass.
This was Lin Yun’s multi-purpose plan.
It’s very difficult for Central Plains People to invade the Grassland, which is a natural home ground. The deeper they go into the Grassland, the weaker the Central Plains Cultivators become.
So, the Grassland People are naturally unbeatable.
They may not win, but as long as they retreat far enough, they will never lose.
To avoid causing greater losses to the Central Plains, Lin Yun had people build ships to prepare for his plans while also consuming the time of the Grassland People.
By slowing down the assault, the Central Plains People felt less pressure and could focus on fighting the Demon Tribe.
Although Lin Yun had his own motives, he also had a public heart. His master and his beloved all wished to protect the land of the Central Plains, and Lin Yun did not want to trouble them.
As for the plan to seize Pearl Island...
We will just loot some things without killing or occupying territory. Of course, Lin Yun could only ensure that he would try not to do bad things in this phase, for one man’s success may lead to many others’ suffering. If he wanted to become Emperor in the future and unify the Grassland and Great Zhou, wars were inevitable.
Where there’s war, there will be deaths, which is unavoidable.
At Mountain and Sea Pass, Lin Yu, Flower Fairy, and Dongfang Hongyue looked at the letter Lin Yun had left for them.
In the letter, Lin Yun spoke of his plan to become Emperor.
Starting from the Grassland, competing for the world, ascending to the throne.
"...I also want to be by your sides forever, but chaos is coming, and it’s difficult to live in peace. Only through a fight to the death can we grasp a chance for survival for both ourselves and our loved ones. ’If love lasts forever, what does it matter if we cannot meet every morning and evening?’ I will think of you in my heart."
As Lin Yu read the last line of the letter, she could feel Lin Yun’s determination.
She hadn’t yet told Lin Yun about the danger of nearly perishing due to divine wrath, something that might not be good for him to know.
But clearly, with Lin Yun’s sharp senses, he had already felt the crisis and was actively countering fate.
The only thing that dissatisfied Lin Yu was that Lin Yun wrote "you all."
But Lin Yu knew that, even though he didn’t explicitly say it was for her alone, she understood that Lin Yun was mainly fighting for her.
As long as Lin Yun could become Emperor, then her destiny would naturally change as well.
Lin Yu didn’t hesitate. She would definitely support Lin Yun.
Coincidentally, Dongfang Hongyue thought the same.
She took the letter, burned it, and left no ash behind.
"This letter is for the three of us. I don’t know what you all think, but one of you is the Saintess of Guanghan Palace, the other is an Elder of the Shenxiao Sect. Now, Lin Yun’s actions are not only for the sake of the Central Plains but for himself. In the future, he may even become an enemy of your sects.
If you’re willing to help him, then help him. If not, I hope you won’t be a hindrance."
As soon as Flower Fairy heard this, she became indignant and retorted, "What kind of talk is that? Why don’t you say that you’re also the Demon Sect Leader?"
"Yes, I’m from the Demon Sect, and I’m the ruler of the Red Lotus Sect. If my future husband needs help, I’ll have the entire sect assist him. Who would dare to disobey?"
Dongfang Hongyue realized the sense of crisis and immediately invoked her husband’s title, no longer calling Lin Yun a traitor.
Lin Yu immediately became anxious and said, "Isn’t Lin Yun your disciple? How can you..."
"What a joke, who said he is my disciple? I am his fiancée, we’re only temporarily known as teacher and student."
Dongfang Hongyue crisply denied their master-disciple relationship, then boasted proudly, "Originally, Lin Yun wanted to marry me as his wife, but I was worried that my identity would make him enemies, so we agreed that when he reached the Celestial Knowing Realm, I would marry him. Hmm, has Lin Yun ever said he wants to marry you?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Flower Fairy: "..."
Jealousy distorted their faces beyond recognition.
Of course, they could distinguish the truth from lies in Dongfang Hongyue’s words.
They were certainly disciples before, but Lin Yun’s intention to marry her was probably also true.
This truly gave them a tight squeeze; both Lin Yu and Flower Fairy were unbearably sour.
Lin Yun, despite his many sweet nothings, had never mentioned when he would marry them.
"Marriage is just a mortal custom. What’s there to fuss about? Besides, you’re not even married yet!"
Flower Fairy’s eyes turned lemony, yet she remained unconvinced.
Lin Yu also sensed the crisis. Dongfang Hongyue was someone she must unite with Flower Fairy to deal with. Without hesitation, she sided with Flower Fairy, saying, "Little Flower is right, you aren’t married yet. Besides, although he has never said he wants to marry me, but..."
Lin Yu blushed, but gathered her courage to say, "We have already consummated, what does a title matter?"
Dongfang Hongyue was suddenly engulfed by an imaginary grassland above her head.
Flower Fairy added, "I’ve already performed a spiritual ceremony with Lin Yun, which is even deeper than the bond of marriage you claim to have!"
Dongfang Hongyue: "..."
Without saying more, I feel like burning something.
Seeing Dongfang Hongyue lose her earlier arrogance, Lin Yu gloated, "No matter your agreement, Lin Yun likes me the most!"
You can refer to the rankings given by the Book Immortal.
Watching Lin Yu’s smugness, Dongfang Hongyue naturally wouldn’t take it lying down. She sneered and said, "Last night, after you all left, Lin Yun came to find me. He clung to me until almost dawn, such a little rascal he is."
Lin Yu: "..."
Flower Fairy: "..."
The car speed picked up, making the tension among the three even more palpable.
Flower Fairy felt at a disadvantage, although she and Lin Yun were in essence married; these days, what couple isn’t like that?
But the thought of Lin Yun sneaking into Dongfang Hongyue’s room last night infuriated her!
She badly wanted to chop something.
However, Lin Yu felt arguing like this was beneath them.
"Enough, enough, I won’t argue with you. We are all people of status; let’s not make a spectacle like mortal women consumed by jealousy. After all, I’m the most beautiful in Lin Yun’s eyes."
"Hmph, Lin Yun also said I’m the cutest!"
"Anyway, he stayed the night with me."
Lin Yu: "..."
Flower Fairy: "..."
They were utterly defeated by Dongfang Hongyue.
"Let’s talk about future plans instead!"
The three of them called a temporary truce, finally remembering that they were discussing how to assist Lin Yun in becoming an emperor. Getting caught up in jealousy was indeed inappropriate.
Dongfang Hongyue had already made it clear that she was going to support Lin Yun; Lin Yu didn’t want to be outdone and said, "For the sake of my husband’s cause, I will give my all."
Flower Fairy was immediately frustrated.
You two shameless ones, how dare you start calling him husband!
She wanted to mimic them!
But the words just wouldn’t come out when they reached her lips.
Flower Fairy could only snort coldly, maintaining her dignity, "Empty words of support mean nothing, while I, on the other hand, have a plan."
"Let’s hear it then?"
Dongfang Hongyue crossed her arms, clearly in a "try me" stance.
After all, she didn’t become the Demon Sect Leader simply because she was the disciple of the previous leader or because of her stability; her key asset was her political acumen.
Both strength and strategy are indispensable.
She, a three-hundred-year-old fox, was curious what sort of plan a youngster like Flower Fairy could come up with.
Dongfang Hongyue was ready to mock. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Under her watchful gaze, Flower Fairy slowly said, "The plan is simple. The three of us must climb to higher positions and then support Brother Yun from within. When the time comes, with our combined internal and external efforts, the world will be at our fingertips!"
