The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 363 - 352

When Lin Yun realized the Snow Maiden had suddenly disappeared, he dispelled the Great Mist, for it was precisely because there was no mist that others were able to see them.

Now, only one Formation remained of Thousand Mechanism Change, with the Four Spirits surrounding it and another Giant Beast prostrated at the top.

The formation was littered with corpses, and the feelings of the crowd towards the Flower Fairy were extremely complicated.

Aside from those who harbored secret affections for the Flower Fairy and grieved upon seeing her intimacy with Lin Yun, there was more hatred for her.

It looked like the Flower Fairy had finally been subdued, yet those who had died couldn’t be brought back to life.

How could the friends and sect fellows of the deceased not feel sad and furious?

However, when the Flower Fairy cast the great formation, she had been mentally unclear, in a state of fury, and murdering was not her intention.

Just like others who had lashed out at friends in their madness, many had been injured or killed.

The Flower Fairy was no different from them, the only distinction was that Zhang Biyu’s curse failed to awaken her.

The two with the most complex feelings, however, were Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue.

For goodness sake, they were unable to find Lin Yun before, and now he had suddenly appeared, so close with the Flower Fairy.

How infuriating!

Dongfang Hongyue suppressed the sourness in her heart and didn’t lash out, with so many onlookers, she wouldn’t expose Lin Yun’s identity. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lin Yu, however, had her gaze fixed on a decapitated corpse nearby.

"Master Wukong!"

With Lin Yu’s cry of alarm, others also turned their gazes toward a corpse near the Flower Fairy, unmistakably that of the abbot of Eight Tones Temple, Wukong.

Wukong was a venerated monk with great virtue and commanded respect in the hearts of Cultivators, earning him a good reputation.

Although Eight Tones Temple was one of the Lower Three Sects, this was because there were few in this world who believed in Buddhism, and many who believed in themselves.

But Eight Tones Temple had always practiced Buddha’s teachings.

There was no need for the world to believe in Buddha, but Buddha would save the suffering and the distressed.

This was also the current doctrine of Buddhism in the Central Plains, and as the leading temple of all Buddhist temples, Eight Tones Temple naturally upheld this belief and brought blessings to the land.

Lin Yu had once sought help from Eight Tones Temple due to the Poison Dragon Gu Worm incident. At that time, Lin Yu had already lost her status as the first among the young generation and didn’t possess any treasures, but when she approached Eight Tones Temple, Wukong personally chanted scriptures for her for three days.

Although it didn’t rid her of the curse, Lin Yu always remembered this favor.

Righteous and Demonic are difficult to distinguish, but good and evil are clear.

As a high monk of the Buddhist Sect, Wukong was respected by many from both righteous and demonic paths.

Zhang Biyu silently sighed and began to chant the Wuji Rebirth Scripture.

The White Lotus Sect could also be considered a branch of Buddhism; however, while Buddhism advocates peaceful inaction, the White Lotus Sect practices action, vastly differing in their doctrines, but the scriptures they chant have similar effects.

The atmosphere within the formation didn’t become any less tense with the disappearance of the complex and mysterious formations; on the contrary, Wukong’s death had it teetering on a knife-edge again.

"Demoness, surrender your life!"

A monk from the Eight Tones Temple, overwhelmed with grief, an especially fiery-tempered monk, didn’t care that he was no match for the Flower Fairy, nor did he consider whether she was possessed at the time, as he was driven solely by the desire for revenge.

The Flower Fairy didn’t even turn her head. She had licked up the last drop of blood from Lin Yun, but she still felt unsatisfied.

That monk charged in with murderous intent, and as Lin Yun embraced the Flower Fairy and side-stepped, he caught the furious punch of the monk, remaining utterly unshaken.

By now, Lin Yun was likely the foremost among the young generation.

Not having entered the Celestial Knowing Realm, Lin Yun could still deal with others without using a Divine Artifact.

Seeing that he couldn’t shake Lin Yun, the monk shouted angrily, "Are you trying to shield this murderous demon?"

More had died within the Flower Fairy’s formation than those who fell into madness guided by the Bone Dragon.

And the Flower Fairy had even killed Wukong, a monk of high virtue and esteem. To treat it as nothing had happened would be far too casual.

"She didn’t kill those people; she was already unconscious when I found her," Lin Yun pushed the monk away, defending the Flower Fairy.

"Then who else could it be! This formation was set by her; if not her, then who?"

Faced with the young monk’s angry questioning, Lin Yun was taken aback.

He looked down at the Flower Fairy, "Was it you who set this up?"

Having drunk Lin Yun’s blood, the Flower Fairy had regained a bit of vitality, not as weak as she had been, but at that moment, she was extremely uneasy.

Currently, although the four personalities had not perished, they were greatly weakened, which meant the person leading this body was the Little Flower Fairy.

She didn’t have Hua Wuque’s decisiveness, Hua Baobei’s wit, or Hua Qingyue’s confidence. Faced with being questioned, especially under Lin Yun’s gaze, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.

Would Lin Yun hate her for what she’d done?

Out of fear, all she wanted to do was to escape.

Seeing her evasive eyes, Lin Yun knew it was her doing.

"Did you also kill Master Wukong?"

The Flower Fairy lowered her head. She didn’t admit it, but her silence was a tacit affirmation.

The formation was very quiet; all eyes were on Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy.

The Flower Fairy was shivering with fear, but at that moment, Lin Yun held her tightly in his embrace.

She thought Lin Yun would hate her, but he didn’t.

Lin Yun was somewhat puzzled as to why the Flower Fairy had caused such a commotion, and he didn’t know that she had been possessed by demons. He even thought that this was her second attempt at revenge.

Although he had previously warned the Flower Fairy not to act rashly due to hidden factors, what could he do now that it had happened?

Let these people really kill the Flower Fairy in the name of revenge?

Clearly, that was impossible.

"You see now, what else is there to say!"

The furious monk challenged Lin Yun, who stroked the Flower Fairy’s head to calm her and replied, "I have nothing to say, but I will not let anyone harm her."

Upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Flower Fairy hugged him even tighter.

She was no longer afraid and even wanted to have several children with Lin Yun.

"Are you saying that Eight Tones Temple is without support?"

The monk, enraged, then turned to the others and shouted, "Are you also afraid of the Guanghan Palace and willing to let the murderer get away with it? Look at the state in which your fellow sect members died. Are you not angry?"

The crowd’s emotions were stirred.

Lin Yun suddenly regretted not having killed the monk with a single punch earlier. He was just a monk, but his ability to incite hatred was quite something.

However, he also knew that such an approach would have been wrong.

The monk then looked to the other four Enlightened Realm Cultivators present: "Please, elders, administer justice for us!"

The four Enlightened Realm Cultivators, two of whom were affiliated with the Flower Fairy—Zhang Biyu did not want to get involved and Ji Ye felt similarly.

Now, with the Lord of Guanghan Palace gone missing, the Saintess was the next in line. If they killed her, Guanghan Palace would surely suffer greatly.

So, Guanghan Palace definitely did not want this.

Provoking Guanghan Palace, even if they were significantly weakened, was not something Li Fire God Palace could afford to do. Guanghan Palace had an Enlightened Realm Elder of considerable cultivation, as well as dozens of Celestial Knowing Realm elders, easily capable of eradicating a sect.

"Please, elders, administer justice for us!"

The multitude of Cultivators formed a group. They were no match for the Flower Fairy even when united, so they were smart to seek justice from the elders.

Lin Yu sighed and stepped forward, saying, "The Flower Fairy and I are best friends, as close as sisters."

As soon as these words were spoken, the pleas for action weakened somewhat.

Goodness, they’d almost forgotten about one of these elders being the Flower Fairy’s sister.

The crowd turned their gaze toward Dongfang Hongyue.

Are you not going to take this chance to kill your enemy, the Flower Fairy?

With this thought, the crowd realized that Dongfang Hongyue had been watching the Flower Fairy all along with an unfriendly gaze.

Fortunately, with Dongfang Hongyue there, they still had hope.

If Dongfang Hongyue knew she had become the hope of the crowd’s petition, she would probably be dumbfounded.

She was simply jealous.

Before so many people, Lin Yun was holding the Flower Fairy tightly, and for her sake alone, he was willing to face the pointed fingers of thousands. Dongfang Hongyue was extremely envious.

Of course, if it were her, Lin Yun would surely do the same, but right now he was holding someone else, and naturally, she felt slighted.

As for going along with public sentiment and killing the Flower Fairy, she did think about it, but wasn’t Lin Yun standing in the way?

At this point, Lin Yu had actually not finished speaking.

"Master Wukong once showed me kindness, and I, Lin Yu, am not ungrateful nor would I betray trust and honor because of my personal feelings for the Flower Fairy."

Upon hearing Lin Yu make a stand, the crowd became excited again. Were they about to denounce the Flower Fairy, choosing righteousness over kinship?

"However, the Flower Fairy did not kill those people intentionally. It was an outer demon that possessed her and caused the loss of control. Therefore, I would like to earnestly request that everyone give her a chance. The dead are gone, and I understand your grief, but since the Flower Fairy did not intend to kill, why should we demand her life in retribution?"

Dongfang Hongyue, seeing that the discussion had reached this point, also prepared to speak up and lend support. After all, isn’t a wife supposed to be forgiving? I’ll save you this time, and let’s see how you compete with me next time.

"Lin Yu is right; if the Flower Fairy had intended to kill, we wouldn’t let her get away with it, but as you all know, the true perpetrator of the previous incident was that Bone Dragon. That being said, it is a fact that the Flower Fairy did kill many. To kill her would be inappropriate, but there must be a penalty."

The crowd, thinking Dongfang Hongyue was still pursuing the Flower Fairy’s responsibility, had no idea that this move actually resolved a hidden threat for the Flower Fairy.

Only by making amends and receiving some form of punishment could this matter be laid to rest.

Otherwise, the Flower Fairy would have many vulnerabilities in the future.

In fact, once the Flower Fairy assumed the role of acting Palace Master, none of the four present had the authority to judge her, as they were all of equal status. Even Lin Yu, being only an Elder, was not in a position to judge the highest leader of a sect.

But with the Flower Fairy at a disadvantage and amidst the public’s outrage, such a step seemed necessary.

Zhang Biyu and Ji Ye both felt that this solution was good, as it would not offend anyone and would also make Guanghan Palace bleed a little—why not embrace it?

However, at that moment, a cold voice rang out—

"If it wasn’t deliberate, she naturally should be spared deadly punishment. But what if it was deliberate?"
