The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 366 - 355: Six Fan Gates

"Wait a moment."

Just as Lin Yun was about to move forward, the inconspicuous Young Daoist Nun Zhenli stopped him.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Yun didn’t dislike this sensible little nun, although she was Yuxuan’s disciple.

"Didn’t it say that intruders would meet their death? Yet you still want to go?"

"I have reasons that compel me to go."

Lin Yun just smiled lightly, always kind in the face of others’ goodwill.

In the passageway filled with a strange red glow, Lin Yun’s smile was cool, but somewhat eerie.

Zhenli’s heart skipped a beat; knowing Lin Yun didn’t mean any harm to her, but his coolness was somehow frightening.

Very nice-looking, but it set one’s heart racing.

Is this the feeling of a heartbeat?

Zhenli clasped her hands over her chest, suppressing that throbbing sensation, and pulled out a jade talisman from her sleeve.

"I won’t join you further on this path. I’ll wait here for my senior brother; please accept this peace charm as a gift for you."

Lin Yun waved his hand, declining her peace charm.

"You keep it for yourself, I’m leaving."

Lin Yun remained cool as ever, not lingering an instant longer, and continued down the red-lit passage in pursuit.

Clutching the jade talisman, Zhenli watched Lin Yun’s retreating figure with stars in her eyes.

Unknown to Lin Yun that he’d just gained a little admirer, he sped along for roughly half an hour. If not for the lingering scent of the Flower Fairy, Lin Yun would have worried that he had entered some sort of trap.

The passage sloped downward, at a gradient of about thirty degrees. At Lin Yun’s running pace, he should have penetrated tens of thousands of meters underground by now.

Lin Yun, impervious to heat and cold, still felt the surrounding temperature rising; the deeper he went, the hotter it grew. Even with his constitution, he began to sweat and felt a bit thirsty.

Lin Yun didn’t stop and continued his descent. After nearly ten more minutes, he came across another stele.

"The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back, and there’s the shore."

Lin Yun glanced at it and accelerated further.

To him, such markers were merely landmarks. Since the Flower Fairy hadn’t turned back, Lin Yun naturally couldn’t either.

Just then, he suddenly heard a sound cutting through the air from behind. Lin Yun turned his head, only to discover that it was the Flower Fairy’s twin blades.

Lin Yun swiftly dodged, noting a piece of dead wood hanging on the handle of the blades.

It was the last remaining piece of the demon creature he had burned to death.

The blades traveled at incredible speeds, like streaks of light that disappeared in a flash. Lin Yun had no choice but to follow in that direction. Shortly, the passage widened from four meters to nearly a hundred meters.

Ahead, there was no more road, only a long red river that blocked his way, not filled with water but with lava.

The river’s origin and destination were shrouded in darkness beyond Lin Yun’s sight, while opposite the river stood six enormous bronze gates.

From left to right, the giant bronze gates were inscribed with: Lewdness, Greed, Jealousy, Hatred, and Desire. One of the gates was already open, but Lin Yun couldn’t tell which word was inscribed above it.

Suddenly, Lin Yun recalled a common saying—lust leads to all evil—a thought suggesting ’Lewdness’ was inscribed on the first gate.

The second gate was open; most likely, the Flower Fairy had entered there. As for the word inscribed above it, Lin Yun had no clue.

The gates opened inward, leading into darkness, and from Lin Yun’s angle, he could see nothing.

Assuming the Flower Fairy had most likely entered the second gate, Lin Yun followed suit.

He spotted a stone drifting down, took a running leap, landed upon it, and flew toward the second gate.

Just as he was about to enter, the position of the six gates suddenly shifted. The Lewdness gate appeared in front of Lin Yun who, airborne, had no time to react before being sucked in as the gate opened.

Damn!

Why did it have to be that word?

Lin Yun felt his dignity had been insulted.

Shortly after Lin Yun entered the bronze gate, five figures showed up before the long red river.

These five were Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yu, Zhang Biyu, Ji Ye, plus Jiang Chenyu.

Until now, Jiang Chenyu still hadn’t used the Moonlight Treasure Box.

Time was precious; it was important to use it sparingly.

The only reason she could keep up with the pace of the big shots was thanks to Zhang Biyu’s assistance.

The two had a shared laid-back approach. Zhang Biyu wished to forge a good relationship—not seeking attention for adding frostings to the cake but remembering the kindness of offering charcoal in snowy weather, Jiang Chenyu wouldn’t forget that, right?

Besides, she had merely brought Jiang Chenyu along on the journey, and even if it ended up being a loss for her, there was no real harm done.

Investments were risky, yet those who recognized the risks could reap high returns; only a fool would pass up such an opportunity.

Thus, the five of them arrived in front of the six gates, with two already open.

Dongfang Hongyue felt something was off, took a step back, and stood behind everyone else.

Ji Ye, on the other hand, was thrilled and stepped forward.

This was an opportunity to shine, but with Zhang Biyu present, he dared not cozy up to anyone.

"I’ll go ahead and scout the path for you."

The lava river didn’t scare Ji Ye at all; the Li Fire God Palace was adept at fire manipulation, and mere lava was no concern.

He leapt forward, stepping on a stone, attempting to enter any one of the open gates, but the Desire Gate automatically turned his way. Once Ji Ye entered, he disappeared from view.

The changes that occurred made the onlookers reflect.

Zhang Biyu didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward, flew up, and the Resentment Gate opened for her.

"What do those words represent?"

Dongfang Hongyue always felt the inscriptions had significant meaning. Lin Yu nodded, saying, "Never mind that, I have to find Lin Yun and bring him back."

She didn’t say ’we’ because Jiang Chenyu was also there.

Lin Yu stepped forward and opened the Jealousy Gate.

Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but curl her lip.

According to her conjecture, the gate that opened likely corresponded to one’s character. She hadn’t expected that Lin Yu, who usually seemed composed and generous, would be exposed by this "jealousy".

With Lin Yu’s departure, only two people remained here.

"Palace Master Jiang, I’m actually quite curious about something."

Dongfang Hongyue’s sudden question tensed Jiang Chenyu’s heart.

She feigned composure, saying, "What’s that?"

"Previously, Palace Master Jiang suffered severe injuries and lost all your cultivation level; Guanghan Palace searched thoroughly along the coast to no avail. During that time, where did you go?"

In Jiang Chenyu’s account, she never mentioned anything about Lin Yun.

As a result, nobody knew it was Lin Yun who saved her.

If they knew, they’d probably all mock Lin Yun for being a teammate who sets up traps.

The Flower Fairy’s magical creature was killed by Lin Yun. Otherwise, with no one able to break the Thousand Mechanism Change, everyone present would have been dealt with, including Jiang Chenyu.

Saving opponents while dealing fatal blows to teammates—way too showy.

Faced with Dongfang Hongyue’s question, Jiang Chenyu pondered for a while before saying, "Being alive to return was naturally due to fate. Does Lord Dongfang have ulterior motives for asking this?"

Seeing her tough attitude, which obviously indicated she had a card up her sleeve, Dongfang Hongyue let out a light laugh and said, "Of course not, but during the treasure hunt, if we cross paths, I won’t show any mercy."

"Lord Dongfang, please do as you like."

Jiang Chenyu had a confident demeanor, causing Dongfang Hongyue to feel wary and hesitant to make a move.

Forget it, better to play it safe.

Who knows if this person is bluffing or playing tricks; not taking the bait is the right move.

Dongfang Hongyue didn’t drag things further and set off immediately.

The Greed Gate opened accordingly.

At that point, all Six Fan Gates had been opened.

Jiang Chenyu looked at a stone in the river of molten lava but did not use the Moonlight Treasure Box.

Even though she had lost her cultivation level, with the stone to leverage and her skills, she could still make it across.

However, this time, the Six Fan Gates didn’t show any changes, and Jiang Chenyu simply leaped towards the nearest gate. Only upon entering did she realize the word "Lust" was inscribed on the door.

This word seemed rather ominous!

Jiang Chenyu couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic—a female cultivator seeing this character would naturally be somewhat afraid.

But when she thought to turn back, she found there was no path behind her.

Having come this far, there was no turning back.

Jiang Chenyu had no choice but to move forward.

Perhaps it was a case of misfortune bringing people together; the gate she entered was precisely the one Lin Yun had gone through.

At that moment, Lin Yun was slashing his way through, as easy as cutting through melons and vegetables.

As soon as he entered the gate, many minor demons charged at him. They all emanated demonic Qi. Lin Yun had the Holy Fire in his left hand and a long spear in his right, sweeping through them as he advanced.

The others had a much harder time. As soon as Lin Yu walked in, she saw Lin Yun intimately entwined with the Flower Fairy. The wrath that stirred within her at that moment was indescribable.

I worried over you so much, and here you two are, in such a rush?

Couldn’t you settle the problem before getting affectionate?

She called out to Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy, but they turned a deaf ear to her.

"Brother Yun, am I the one you like the most?"

"Of course."

"What about Sister Yu?"

"She isn’t as pretty as you."

"Hmph, but in the Book Immortal’s rankings, she’s rated higher!"

"Why don’t you consider that she might not even be in the top ten? In my heart, Hong Yue is the prettiest, but she doesn’t have your cuteness. As for Lin Yu, I do like her somewhat, but if I could only choose one, I’d certainly choose you."

"Brother Yun, you’re so nice."

The Flower Fairy in front of her sweetly started to undo Lin Yun’s clothes, ready to engage in that indelicate act before her very eyes.

"Enough!"

Lin Yu didn’t realize her emotions were getting out of hand.

Compared to the challenge she faced, Dongfang Hongyue’s was much simpler.

As soon as she entered the gate, she was presented with a treasure vault.

The ground was covered with rare and exotic treasures, numerous divine weapons, and a few artifacts that radiated divine light, obviously at the level of Immortal Artifacts.

However, seeing all these valuable items left Dongfang Hongyue utterly unmoved; she even felt like laughing.

She knew why she was at the Greed Gate.

She was indeed greedy. Upon seeing so many treasures, her first thought was to pack them all up and take them away. If one trip wasn’t enough, she’d make several trips.

But in the next moment, she came back to her senses.

Luck like mine and to have all these treasures for me?

They must be fake, definitely all fake.

Dongfang Hongyue set fire to all the treasures in one stroke.

Her gold-red Holy Fire was extremely powerful; all the gold and silver treasures melted, the materials turned to ash, and only a few Immortal Artifacts lasted a bit longer before downgrading into spiritual energy.

"Huh? This burns so well, could it actually be real?"

Dongfang Hongyue suddenly realized she might have actually entered a real treasure vault, but now she had burned it clean...
