The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 372 - 361: The Mystery of Flower Fairy’s Origin
Lin Yun had entered seeking the Flower Fairy, only to find the Flower Fairy outside.
This was truly a twist of fate.
The Flower Fairy’s current state was also very abnormal, surrounded by black Qi, clearly in the throes of demonic possession.
"Little Flower!"
Lin Yu, having just emerged from the Hall of Holy Fire, was startled upon seeing the Flower Fairy.
The issues involving the Flower Fairy and Jiang Chenyu were actually quite manageable.
If guilty, then admit it; if one cannot bear it, then flee from the crime.
After all, Lin Yu was not without self-interest.
Upholding justice was not without a trace of selfishness; if the Flower Fairy truly were a great villain, Lin Yu would accept eliminating her.
But the Flower Fairy was inherently kind and had been manipulated by others leading to many misdeeds; Lin Yu found it hard to be hostile against her and act.
However, she once received a favor from Master Wukong and if she remained unmoved by his death, it would make her no different from an ungrateful wolf.
Only to lament that fate was impermanent, always making her face such tough choices.
Lin Yu would rather not see the Flower Fairy, so that she would not have to make a choice.
But now the Flower Fairy still appeared before her, and her condition seemed a bit off again.
As expected, when the Flower Fairy looked up at Lin Yu, she swung her Sky-splitter at her.
Lin Yu raised her sword to block, but after a single exchange, her sword shattered.
Dueling the Flower Fairy was too hard on weapons; without a sword, Lin Yu could only retreat.
"We cannot allow her to set up such a formation again; let’s go at her together."
Zhang Biyu, recognizing the difficulty of the Flower Fairy, said coldly, "Everyone, do not hold back. I believe with Master Wukong’s cultivation level, he certainly would not lose to her. He must not have exerted his full strength. This person has been deeply possessed by demons and must not be spared!"
Having said that, Zhang Biyu raised her hand for a lethal move.
"Compassionate Soul Extinguishing Curse!"
Though the name carried ’compassion’, it was actually the White Lotus Sect’s strongest offensive spell, directly attacking the Divine Soul. Even if one had strong physical defenses, this spell left them completely powerless.
However, the Flower Fairy’s Divine Soul strength far exceeded her expectations.
One person, five souls, five times the cultivation speed, plus dual cultivation with Lin Yun, this meant exponential growth.
Her Divine Soul strength was even greater than Zhang Biyu, who specialized in Divine Cultivation.
If Zhang Biyu could see the adornments on the Flower Fairy’s Divine Soul, she would not have chosen such a move.
It wasn’t even like scraping therapy, it was completely harmless.
However, the move did have an effect; after it struck, the Demonic Qi surrounding the Flower Fairy exploded like water added to hot oil.
"Cold Moon Frost Slash!"
"Sky Splitter Ten Strikes!"
The Flower Fairy executed two different spells at once, causing Zhang Biyu’s face to pale as she hastily retreated, managing to form a defensive seal just in time.
Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu also raised their protective shields, but the Flower Fairy’s strike shattered all of them, sending them flying backwards. Zhang Biyu stumbled several steps back before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Such a domineering blade technique."
Jiang Chenyu quietly crouched down into a ball.
Lucky for her quick reaction, hiding behind Zhang Biyu saved her life; otherwise, she would have ended up like a dead fish in this round.
Thinking of her ready to duel the Flower Fairy with the Moonlight Treasure Box, she realized how rash she had been.
The Flower Fairy single-handedly sent four Enlightened Realm powerhouses flying, a level of terror none expected!
Everyone was shocked by her sudden strength.
Was this the effect of demonic possession?
But wasn’t she burning through her lifespan like this?
Lin Yu was deeply worried. If she now fought the Flower Fairy with all her might, the Flower Fairy, devoid of reason, would use her power without restraint.
If the Flower Fairy wasn’t stopped, she would fall deeper into demonic possession.
What to do...
In this urgent moment, she thought of Lin Yun.
"Little Flower, Lin Yun is looking for you!"
Lin Yu didn’t know if these words would affect the Flower Fairy, but regardless, she had to try!
Upon hearing Lin Yun’s name, the Flower Fairy paused momentarily, bringing a glimmer of joy to Lin Yu’s heart.
It worked!
"Calm down, everything can be resolved properly. You must believe in me and Lin Yun, we will protect you!"
Jiang Chenyu silently crouched behind Zhang Biyu, using her body for cover.
It was better that the Flower Fairy not see her now; if she went into a frenzy, it was doubtful that anyone could save her.
Lin Yu’s persuasion seemed to have some effect on the Flower Fairy.
But suddenly, she turned her gaze toward the Hall of Holy Fire.
As if sensing something, she charged inside.
Upon opening the door, she saw Lin Yun pinned under a naked woman amidst a sea of flames, rolling around together.
The Flower Fairy, enraged, instinctively stepped forward and kicked the woman away, emitting a bestial roar.
Lin Yun, finally rescued, heaved a sigh of relief but in the next second, mother and daughter, as if seeing sworn enemies, lunged at one another, entangled in a wild scuffle.
"Stop, don’t fight anymore!"
No one listened to him. Lin Yun realized that both had red eyes, devoid of any reason, consumed with a destructive frenzy.
He now knew the Flower Fairy had fallen into demonic possession again.
What’s going on, where is your Exquisite Heart?
Lin Yun felt there was a bug, wasn’t the Exquisite Heart supposed to be the nemesis of demons, so why had it become what it was now?
In the midst of their fight, both of them had accumulated several wounds, Lin Yun naturally chose to help Flower Fairy. He rushed toward the naked woman, taking advantage of her battle with Flower Fairy, he hugged her from behind and then firmly pressed her to the ground.
She probably needed a shock.
"Little Gold, full power to electrocute!"
Lin Yun cast a spell to summon Thunderbolt. It wasn’t as immediate as Little Gold, and moreover, the thunder generated through Lin Yun’s body carried a trace of merit, just at that moment, Flower Fairy relentlessly grabbed her mother’s foot.
Zzz~
As everyone knows, the human body is a conductor.
At that moment, Golden Thunderbolt surged endlessly between mother and daughter, with Demonic Qi violently emerging from their bodies. Both of them convulsed uncontrollably; seeing that Flower Fairy was also affected, Lin Yun quickly withdrew the electricity, but Flower Fairy still fell into unconsciousness.
Strangely enough, the surging fire hadn’t harmed Flower Fairy at all, and it was as if she was back at her own home.
Lin Yun turned his gaze to Flower Fairy’s mother, thinking she would also be unconscious, yet her eyes were wide open, and the madness from before was gone.
"You can let go of me now."
Her voice was very gentle, making Lin Yun momentarily forget how crazy she had been before.
Lin Yun silently released his grip and stepped back, helping Flower Fairy to her feet.
"She’s Little Flower, isn’t she?"
"So you really are her mother!"
"Indeed, my name is Hua Ruolan; I am the Flower Fairy’s birth mother. Can you let me hold her? Flower Fairy has grown so much, how has she been living these years?"
Hua Ruolan’s gaze towards Flower Fairy was filled with tenderness and affection.
If it weren’t for being electrified by Lin Yun to the point of feeling numb all over, she would have already rushed to embrace Flower Fairy in her arms.
But Lin Yun didn’t trust her.
"Of course, she has not been living well, living every day in hatred, everything she’s done was in preparation for her revenge. Isn’t that what you wanted to see?"
Seeing Lin Yun’s undisguised hostility, Hua Ruolan suddenly realized something, but she didn’t become angry, still looking gently at Flower Fairy.
"You must have misunderstood something."
"Perhaps, since you say it’s a misunderstanding, then, I would like to ask, why did Thousand Mechanism Valley fiercely resist the inspection by the Righteous Six Sects back then?"
"Because the Fairy... she isn’t human..."
Hua Ruolan sighed, and only then did she realize she was not wearing any clothes.
In front of a man, even though this body wasn’t hers, she still felt ashamed.
She sat up, using her legs to cover her body. Although it wasn’t thoroughly concealed, it was much better than before.
Lin Yun wasn’t in the mood to watch her adjust her posture. After all, everything that should or shouldn’t have been seen during the fight had already been seen.
He was startled by Hua Ruolan’s words.
"What did you say! Isn’t Flower Fairy the child of you and Daoist Master Huang Long?"
Hua Ruolan shook her head and sighed, "He is not the Fairy’s biological father."
Lin Yun: "..."
So, Daoist Master Huang Long was cuckolded?
"Then who is Flower Fairy’s father?"
Lin Yun was somewhat puzzled; the mother-in-law seemed very dignified, yet she turned out to be someone who would cheat!
"I don’t know."
Lin Yun: "???"
Goodness, had this mother-in-law been that wild in her youth?
Lin Yun was extremely shocked. Hua Ruolan also looked like the obedient type, appearing dignified and gentle.
Is this about appearances being deceiving?
Seeing Lin Yun’s shocked expression, Hua Ruolan calmly said, "If you’re really curious about what happened back then, I’ll tell you, but don’t let the Fairy know."
Lin Yun quickly nodded, seeing Hua Ruolan’s demeanor, she didn’t seem like the mastermind behind this.
However, she was someone who knew the inside story. At this point, all the mysteries should be unveiled.
"When I was young, I was restless, and my greatest hobby was to travel all over, experiencing different places."
So that’s why you don’t know who Flower Fairy’s father is?
Lin Yun silently criticized in his mind, but still watched Hua Ruolan quietly.
Well, somewhat pale.
Hua Ruolan noticed Lin Yun’s gaze, but with nowhere to hide, she only tilted her head back, pretending to reminisce.
This move was like "burying one’s head in the sand."
As long as she didn’t see Lin Yun watching her, it was as if Lin Yun wasn’t watching her at all.
"Thousand Mechanism Valley is famous for its Mechanical Techniques, Formations, and Puppets, but in reality, we excel the most at Dragon Seeking Acupoint. Many of our formations were found in the tombs of our ancestors. The higher the Cultivation Level of the ancestor and the older their tomb, the stronger the Formations and Mechanical Techniques we can learn.
But I never believed that modern people are inferior to those of the past, whether it be the path of righteousness or the art of magic; modern people should surpass the ancients, or else aren’t all of us regressing?"
Lin Yun nodded, showing agreement.
"However, there has been a period of loss in history, causing many things to be forgotten. Our Thousand Mechanism Valley’s goal is to discover those ancient texts and develop on the basis of inheriting ancestral relics."
So, this is your justification for tomb robbing?
"Thousand Mechanism Valley’s tomb robbing doesn’t steal any treasures, we just learn the Formations, copy ancient texts, and also, everyone leaves their own records, which can be considered leaving experience for posterity. One day, I saw a half-scroll of notes left by an ancestor."
"Notes from tomb robbing?"
Hua Ruolan nodded and said, "You could say that. This notebook only had fragments, detailing a mysterious place at the Gan River..."
