The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 353 - 342: You Stay Here and Teleport

With just a thought, Jiang Chenyu could escape from this place.

Thinking of how Lin Yun had tied her up and treated her roughly, intending to make her his female servant, Jiang Chenyu’s resentment exploded in an instant.

Before, she was unwilling to run away, which was why she was so compliant with Lin Yun. But now that she was about to escape, how could she simply leave without getting even?

She had to vent her frustrations!

"You want me to be your female servant? That will only happen if the sky falls and the rivers flow backwards! I have taken note of today’s humiliation, and you will definitely pay for it!"

Having said that, Jiang Chenyu’s body burst into a bright radiance.

Lin Yun was immediately shocked. Indeed, villains often die from talking too much. If Jiang Chenyu escaped and was rescued by someone from the Righteous Path, it wouldn’t just be the Flower Fairy who would be in trouble. Everyone related to him might be implicated.

He quickly reached out to grab her, but how can human hands catch light?

In a flash of light, Jiang Chenyu disappeared without a trace, leaving only her clothes hanging from the ropes.

While Lin Yun was stunned, he suddenly heard a thud from the cabin, as if something had fallen down.

Lin Yun turned his head and saw a naked woman lying on the ground.

Jiang Chenyu let out a cry of pain, only then realizing that her Moon Shadow Lightstep didn’t cover her clothes. A breeze blew past, and the chill made her panic.

As the destination of Moon Shadow Lightstep’s teleportation was uncertain, she had thought the most likely outcome on this deserted river was falling into the water. She never expected to land on someone else’s boat, exposing her chastity for all to see!

With a panicked heart, Jiang Chenyu hastily propped herself up and sat down, covering her chest with her hands and looking around, only to see Lin Yun staring at her, dumbfounded.

How could Lin Yun not be dumbfounded?

You decided to teleport just to take off a few clothes?

You’ve really outdone yourself.

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

What a crappy forbidden technique!

This is totally scamming me!

Although she had cut corners for a quicker activation, the teleportation distance was ridiculously short!

"Don’t come any closer!"

In the midst of chaos, Jiang Chenyu had just issued a threat, and now she was sure Lin Yun wouldn’t let her off easily.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she would rather have not run—better to die clothed than be stripped bare by Lin Yun in her last moments.

"Close your eyes!"

Jiang Chenyu shouted, and Lin Yun couldn’t help but be speechless.

What kind of a situation do you think you are in, still ordering around?

But Lin Yun wasn’t a devil. He casually grabbed Jiang Chenyu’s clothes and threw them over to cover part of her snow-white body, but the clothes weren’t worn properly. Her smooth, slender legs, delicate collarbones, and the valleys better left undescribed couldn’t be completely hidden.

The way Jiang Chenyu fearfully clutched the clothes over her chest to cover herself made her appear even more alluring than before, as though he had just taken advantage of the girl of over five hundred years old.

Having learned from the previous experience, Lin Yun certainly didn’t dare to give her another chance.

Seeing Lin Yun decisively ready a long spear, Jiang Chenyu didn’t beg for mercy.

"Can you wait for me to get dressed before killing me?"

At this point, Jiang Chenyu truly gave up.

She couldn’t escape.

The power of mortals was utterly frail before a superior cultivator; there was no chance of escape for her.

The previous thoughts of fleeing were nothing more than hopes to make use of the cover of the Gan River to escape underwater.

Everywhere people were ready to capture her, and as soon as she hit the water, Lin Yun would have to keep silent, which was the only way out.

Unfortunately...

The forbidden technique was just too deceitful!

"Do as you please."

Lin Yun turned his head away.

After all, it’s hard to destroy a beauty without feeling some regret. Even if his resolve to silence her was rock solid, he still found it somewhat regrettable.

Indeed, beauty is justice.

This time, Jiang Chenyu didn’t play any tricks. She knew Lin Yun was determined to kill her. Seeing as she couldn’t escape and Lin Yun was willing to grant her a dignified death, she accepted her fate.

Jiang Chenyu slowly dressed herself, and during this process, she couldn’t help but reflect on her life.

She started practicing Taoism at five, could channel Qi into her body at seven, became the Saintess of Guanghan Palace at thirty, and took power at two hundred years of age.

Having been the Lord of the Palace for three hundred years now, she had made little progress in her cultivation level because she had reached the peak she could attain, making it difficult to advance any further.

If she were just an elder, she could have tried to achieve The Imperfection of Life, challenging the legendary Nine Revolutions of Kung Fu. But as the Palace Master, she was the head of Guanghan Palace, the pinnacle of martial power.

Without someone capable of holding the ground, she couldn’t take risks.

During her three hundred years as Palace Master, she had worked tirelessly for the development of Guanghan Palace and lived up to the identity of its leader.

However, in external affairs, she had been too cautious.

Though her cultivation level was outstanding, she rarely fought with all her might, knowing that once she fell, Guanghan Palace would be in danger.

All the Orthodox Sects were her competitors, and no one could resist coveting the resources that Guanghan Palace held.

Internally, she could say she had a clear conscience, but externally...

Jiang Chenyu let out a silent sigh.

Perhaps she really hadn’t done well enough, though to be fair, her actions did not warrant death. But according to the law of the jungle that used to prevail, Lin Yun was stronger than her now, so killing her didn’t require too much justification.

Only at the moment of imminent death, did Jiang Chenyu suddenly realize, it seemed that dying was actually quite a relief.

As Lin Yun said, what happened to Guanghan Palace after her death was beyond her control.

She had lived long enough, but of those five hundred years, how much time had she lived for herself?

It was only when the heavy burden was lifted that Jiang Chenyu finally felt this sentiment.

She slowly walked to the window, opened it, and looked towards the waning moon in the sky. Lin Yun, hearing the noise of her opening the window, gripped his spear tighter. If she thought of jumping out, he would thrust the spear right away.

Jiang Chenyu did not do that; she only looked at the moon for a while, then at the water, and started to speak to herself: "Locked in the chill of the Jade Palace for a thousand years, flowers in the water, the moon in the water, waking from the grand dream as if it were but dust and smoke, I pity my own reflection.

To journey to the River of Oblivion is a long way off, bonds of this life, wishes for the next, love lingers on as the fragrance fades and the jade shatters, my heart breaks by the banks of the Gan River."

She composed a poem, her voice filled with sorrow. By the time she finished, tears were streaming down her face.

Lin Yun, with his spear raised, found it difficult to bring it down now.

He couldn’t bear to see someone cry, especially when he felt somewhat guilty about this affair.

He simply could not bring himself to coldly kill a woman who had no power to resist and had such a strong will to live.

Finally, Lin Yun closed his eyes.

"I’m sorry, in all my life, my actions have been without regret. But today, as I kill you, I feel remorseful. Go in peace, and I promise you, Guanghan Palace will not fall into decline because of your death."

Jiang Chenyu heard him, wiped away her tears, and looked at Lin Yun. Seeing the apologetic expression on his face, yet the steady grip on his spear, she knew what he was thinking.

She suddenly envied the Flower Fairy; at least someone was willing to lay down their moral principles for her.

She envied the parents of the Flower Fairy, at least after their death, there was a Flower Fairy who endured in silence for years just for revenge.

But she had nothing; after her death, probably not many would remember her, including Guanghan Palace which she had strived for all her life.

"Let it be, if you truly feel guilt, then remember me, so I can live a little longer in the Netherland."

It is said in the Mortal Realm that those who are forgotten, will also perish in the Netherworld Realm.

Lin Yun was taken aback. Jiang Chenyu actually hoped that he, her enemy, would remember her to prolong her life.

What a tragic Lord of a palace, perhaps she was rich and noble, but it seems she was not happy in this life.

"I will remember you."

Lin Yun closed his eyes and thrust the spear forward.

Even with his eyes closed, he could ensure the stab would not go awry and it would be quick, a swift spear to draw blood and reduce Jiang Chenyu’s pain.

However, when Lin Yun’s spear reached a sufficient distance, it did not feel like it had pierced flesh, but rather it seemed to stab into a membrane. Using great effort, he couldn’t pierce through the membrane.

Surprised, Lin Yun looked forward and saw Jiang Chenyu had collapsed limply to the ground, and a Taiji diagram was blocking the tip of his spear.

A powerful master had arrived!

Lin Yun sensed that the situation was bad; Jiang Chenyu could not be killed now.

But...

He felt a weight lift from his heart.

Noticing the change in his own mindset, Lin Yun couldn’t help but mock himself.

"I couldn’t really be going soft just because I saw a beautiful girl, could I?"

"Young friend, would you step outside the boat for a talk?"

Lin Yun heard a gentle voice; releasing his Divine Sense, he felt no one’s presence outside.

He wanted to wake the Snow Maiden, having encountered a tough nut to crack, but suddenly, he felt as if he was carrying a mountain; he could not move a step.

The Snow Maiden had been sealed earlier, so even if he shouted now, she could not hear him.

It seemed there was no choice.

Lin Yun could only walk towards the outside, and the pressure on him suddenly lifted.

Lin Yun had never encountered something like this before. Having fought with the Grassland Warriors, Lin Yu, Dongfang Hongyue, and the Flower Fairy, and occasionally sparring with the Snow Maiden, Lin Yun had come to believe that the Enlightened Realm was nothing special.

Sure enough, one must not get complacent. Once you do, life has a way of teaching you a lesson.

Crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the Central Plains, there might be trouble today.

Lin Yun felt heavy-hearted as he stepped out of the cabin, only to see an old Taoist standing at the bow of the boat, gazing up into the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

The man appeared to be full of immortal aura; Lin Yun did not dare to be presumptuous and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to the Taoist."

The old Taoist still gazed skyward, not turning around, and said leisurely: "Do you see the moon in the sky?"

"I see it."

Lin Yun didn’t understand what the old Taoist was really up to, but he also looked up, following the man’s gaze into the sky.

"Do you know, the moon is always round, even though it appears to us as sometimes full, sometimes waning."

"Yes, I know that."

The old Taoist fell silent for a few seconds, seemingly not expecting Lin Yun to answer like that.

"Then do you know that the earth under our feet is also round?"

I know we’re on a boat right now, but let’s not quibble about that.

"Yes, I know."

The old Taoist’s normally impassive face suddenly showed a ripple...
