The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 371 - 360

Lin Yun and Zhang Biyu were both secretly plotting against each other.

The two had never dealt with each other before, and their consideration of each other’s weaknesses was simply a matter of habit.

"Palace Master Jiang, which gate did you go through?"

Zhang Biyu asked casually, but Jiang Chenyu just couldn’t bring herself to say it.

If she revealed it, others would look at her inconvenient walking and could probably guess something.

It was all Lin Yun’s fault for being too rough!

Thinking this, Jiang Chenyu couldn’t help but pinch Lin Yun’s shoulder.

"We went through the Gate of Rage."

Lin Yun made up a gate on the spot, lying without blinking an eye, and Zhang Biyu didn’t suspect a thing.

As the two chatted casually, not far away a light flashed, and they saw Lin Yu holding a bamboo slip, walking out.

Seeing Lin Yun carrying Jiang Chenyu on his back, Lin Yu clenched her teeth again.

The reason she stayed in the Illusionary Realm for so long was because Lin Yun had angered her.

Jealousy, was about overcoming the heart of jealousy; thus, in the Illusionary Realm, she watched with her own eyes as Lin Yun got intimate with Flower Fairy, Dongfang Hongyue, Snow Maiden, Bai Jiaojiao, and Zhao Lingyu.

One hand was almost not enough to count them all.

And then, right after coming out, she saw Lin Yun carrying Jiang Chenyu on his back.

Good grief, in just this short time without seeing you, you’ve seduced another one?

How can you be so capable?

It goes to show that passing the Jealousy Gate doesn’t really mean one has overcome jealousy; just like the Gate of Lust, it’s not about defeating it, but rather about engaging in specific actions that also count as passing.

"Did you see the Flower Fairy?"

As Lin Yun approached, he asked the question. Lin Yu, in no mood to sulk with Lin Yun, handed the bamboo slip to him, saying, "I didn’t see Little Flower, but I found this."

Lin Yun took the bamboo slip and opened it to read; Jiang Chenyu, also curious, leaned close to Lin Yun’s face to read it together.

Lin Yu finally couldn’t stand it anymore: "Is Palace Master Jiang injured?"

"Er, yeah, just a minor injury," said Jiang Chenyu somewhat shyly.

Lin Yu’s face was full of question marks, but she didn’t think much of it.

She figured Jiang Chenyu must have lost a spell battle and been hurt by Lin Yun, and she didn’t know how the two of them had made up, but since Lin Yun was willing to take care of her, it seemed they had resolved some of their grievances.

Lin Yun was at heart a kind person, but...

That wasn’t a reason for Jiang Chenyu to be so close to Lin Yun.

"If Palace Master Jiang is injured, allow me to take a look," Lin Yu suggested.

As soon as he heard this, Lin Yun knew that Lin Yu was jealous, yet he still said seriously, "The wound has closed; there’s no need to worry."

Lin Yu: "???"

Why did that sound a bit strange?

Jiang Chenyu heard the teasing in Lin Yun’s voice and wished she could bite him, but in front of others, she was too embarrassed to show it, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Why is your face red?"

Lin Yu asked dubiously, and Jiang Chenyu quickly said, "It’s a bit hot here, and my cultivation level is too low to withstand it."

The truth was half true; the area was indeed hot, but Jiang Chenyu was once a great cultivator. Although her realm had fallen, her body had been enhanced, and other people coming to this place would have long been dehydrated from the heat.

"I see, come here to me, Palace Master Jiang!"

Jiang Chenyu reluctantly got off Lin Yun’s back.

Actually, she had mostly recovered, as cultivators typically possess excellent physical resilience.

It was initially just a bit painful; at that time, she also considered giving Lin Yun a way to dote on her.

In reality, Jiang Chenyu didn’t hurt to the point of being unable to walk.

At this moment, she moved very quickly to Lin Yu’s side.

Lin Yu set up a Sword Qi Shield, and Jiang Chenyu no longer felt the heat, though the sword qi made her scalp tingle.

As Lin Yun unfolded the bamboo slip, Zhang Biyu also leaned in; Jiang Chenyu wanted to join them, and seeing this, Lin Yu quickly explained, "This bamboo slip details the origins of the Land of Sealed Demons. The demon sealed here is known as the Six Desires Celestial Demon, who feeds on human emotions and possesses an undying body. King of Zhennan split its soul into six parts and suppressed them separately, hence the Six Fan Gates."

This was the first time Jiang Chenyu had heard of the title King of Zhennan—both king and demon, which made her as shocked as if she had just discovered the internet in her village.

Zhang Biyu, however, was much calmer, as she read the bamboo slip’s written text and asked, "And the demon’s body?"

"The demon’s body is sealed within the Hall of Holy Fire," came the answer.

The crowd looked up at the large hall ahead, right above which hung a plaque with three big characters: Hall of Holy Fire.

While Lin Yu was explaining, Lin Yun also reached the conclusion.

"The demon’s thoughts are undying, and it is beyond human power to combat; unless one possesses a method to subdue demons and is accompanied by merits, one should not enter recklessly, be cautious, be cautious."

So, if I have merits, can I enter?

"That door seems to be open."

Lin Yu noticed something off.

They still had a long flight of stairs to climb before reaching the grand hall; yet, for Lin Yu, viewing from her angle, she could see that the door was slightly ajar.

Soon after she spoke up, Dongfang Hongyue and Ji Ye appeared one after another, with Ji Ye looking somewhat disheveled, and Dongfang Hongyue walking as leisurely as though she were taking a stroll in her own backyard.

She hadn’t encountered any challenges; instead, she had picked up some treasures.

Some books on formation and artifact refining techniques; she seemed to have accidentally overstayed and emerged a bit later than the others.

If they were all here, who could have entered the Hall of Holy Fire?

It seemed that only Flower Fairy could be a possibility.

"Wait here for me; I’ll go in and check," Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun knew he was endowed with virtue and had ways to subdue demons, and suspecting that the Flower Fairy might have entered the Hall of Holy Fire, he became anxious and naturally did not want to waste any more time.

"I’ll go with you!"

Lin Yu was not afraid of demons and directly leaped into the air.

Dongfang Hongyue also wanted to follow, but Zhang Biyu stopped her.

"Sister Hong Yue, I know you’re anxious, but when it comes to dealing with the Demon Race, more people isn’t always better. If you go in, you’ll only add to the chaos. It’s better to wait outside."

Dongfang Hongyue’s brow furrowed, sensing that the situation was not simple.

Having Lin Yu with him, Lin Yun might not need her, but how did Zhang Biyu know so much?

"I understand."

She scrutinized Zhang Biyu, not hiding her suspicion, while Zhang Biyu just smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Chenyu silently enjoyed the drama; after all, there was no way she could go in, but with two Demon Sect Leaders by her side, she felt a bit panicky...

There was a Righteous Alliance here, but Ji Ye was a lickspittle of Zhang Biyu and might not be considered an ally.

It was a bit scary.

But Dongfang Hongyue had no interest in her, and Zhang Biyu didn’t seem to want to kill her.

As for Ji Ye, having just emerged from the Gate of Lust, he was somewhat weakened and needed to rest.

In the Hall of Holy Fire, as soon as Lin Yun rushed in, his feet were scorched by the flames.

True to its name, the great hall was immersed in a sea of fire.

Lin Yun quickly deployed his Fire Domain. Lin Yu was not so lucky; she dodged the big fire, only to be attacked by a flame bird. As she dispersed one, many more came flocking.

"You go out first, I can handle this alone!"

Seeing Lin Yun completely unaffected by the firebirds, Lin Yu had no choice but to trust him. This was not a place she could withstand.

Lin Yu reluctantly retreated, leaving Lin Yun alone to venture deeper into the great hall.

Within the hall, Lin Yun saw a body being consumed by the flames.

It was quite big and white.

Lin Yun approached, intending to check who it was, only to realize in shock that the person bore a strong resemblance to the Flower Fairy.

Mother-in-law, it’s you? How did you end up lying here? Please, get up and put on your clothes; this is so embarrassing!

Lin Yun was protected from the fire by his Fire Domain, so his clothes were not burnt away, but the corpse had been burning for who knows how long without disintegrating. Thinking of the demonic body sealed within the Hall of Holy Fire, Lin Yun’s imagination went wild.

Could it be that the Flower Fairy’s mother is actually the sealed Six Desires Celestial Demon?

But then, how did she get out?

As Lin Yun pondered, suddenly a fierce gust of wind struck. Turning his head, he saw a clothed mother-in-law charging towards him, and Lin Yun showed no courtesy.

Before, when he had been chasing, she had kept dodging. Now, it seemed that she could no longer hide.

Fighting in a sea of fire was, for Lin Yun, like having the home-field advantage.

Within the fire’s range, he could teleport and flash without limit.

However, when his spear pierced the mother-in-law, it passed through without inflicting any harm. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Are you not human?"

Lin Yun thought back to Jiang Chenyu’s Cold Moon Frost Slash, a wide-reaching spell that had also swept past her body without leaving a mark, indicating she might be immune to physical attacks.

If that was the case, then it was time to use a spell.

"Little Gold!"

Little Gold, now a dedicated bodyguard, stood by, ready to answer Lin Yun’s call. Usually nourished by Spiritual Liquid, Little Gold had almost forgotten its freedom-seeking nature as a spirit.

With Lin Yun’s summoning, the room was immediately filled with the Thunder of the Heavens.

Just like when Hu Yuling was struck by lightning and her clothes were torn, the same happened to the Flower Fairy’s mother. A few bolts later, her white dress was torn in several places.

Compared to the Flower Fairy, her mother had a mature charm. If it weren’t for her bloodshot eyes that made her seem deranged, she would pass as a dignified and virtuous matron.

The more respectable the woman, the more stimulating the sight of torn clothing became.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but reflect: How could I think such things? How am I any different from a villain?

Perhaps spooked by Lin Yun’s thunder, she tried to flee again, but there was nowhere to escape within this space.

Noticing her indecisiveness, Lin Yun spoke with a smug smile, "Don’t resist any longer. Reveal your scheme, and I might consider sparing your life."

That was a lie; if she truly was the mastermind behind everything, Lin Yun would certainly have to kill her. Otherwise, the safety of the Flower Fairy would not be guaranteed.

Saying he might spare her was purely to deceive her.

However, Lin Yun’s deceit seemed to be futile this time, as she did not listen. After looking around, her gaze finally locked onto the burned body. She leaped towards it, merging with the bare figure and soon, the body came to life.

Opening her eyes, she stood up.

Lin Yun discreetly took two steps back.

Mother-in-law, please have some dignity. Put on some clothes first, and then we can have another fight!

Still, Lin Yun sneaked a glance or two.

Well, those curves, that... that...

That... that...

To give birth to a daughter as beautiful as the Flower Fairy, indeed, excellent genes are needed. It’s a shame that the Flower Fairy seems to have only inherited the face; other parts are yet to develop well.

Lin Yun sensed an impending threat, and outside the great hall, the atmosphere was equally tense.

The Flower Fairy, now with her mind clouded, had appeared...
