The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 375 - 364: The Four Kings Return to Their Thrones, The Qilin Appears in the World

Chapter 375: Chapter 364: The Four Kings Return to Their Thrones, The Qilin Appears in the World

Outside the Hall of Holy Fire, the crowd had been anxiously waiting, when suddenly, deep beneath the ground, they witnessed a celestial phenomenon.

To the east was the Azure Dragon, to the north, Xuanwu, to the west, the White Tiger, and to the south, the Vermilion Bird.

With the four beasts circling, a holy beast’s phantom that had never been seen before appeared in the center.

As it turned out, there were always five of the Four Great Holy Beasts, but the last one had always been unknown to mankind.

And it was after this spectacle appeared that everyone knew Its name in their hearts.

This sacred beast was called Qilin.

It was a sacred beast forgotten by the world, and upon Its appearance, everyone became aware of Its name.

"The Four Kings return to their places, the Qilin is born, he really could make it happen," someone said.

At the Taiqing Daoist Temple, Yuxuan looked toward the direction of the Gan River, playing the cryptic sage once more.

And opposite him was an old man, ethereal and otherworldly, no less so than Yuxuan—this was the Book Immortal.

Since leaving Lin Yun, he had wandered all around, worked as a storyteller, practiced fortune-telling, and enjoyed his time in the mortal realm immensely.

By a stroke of luck, he encountered Yuxuan and was then invited to be a guest at the Taiqing Daoist Temple.

The Book Immortal was too proud for his own good, naturally looking down on Yuxuan.

But Yuxuan asked him a question, "Can fate be reversed?"

"Fate cannot be reversed."

This was the Book Immortal’s answer.

"Then let us make a bet," proposed Yuxuan.

And so, the Book Immortal came to be a guest at the Taiqing Daoist Temple.

At this moment, he was not as carefree as Yuxuan because he had already lost the bet.

"How could the Four Kings possibly return to their positions!" he exclaimed.

The Book Immortal had long seen through the Flower Fairy’s destiny. Life was like a chess game, and the Flower Fairy was that most crucial chess piece.

Everything about the Flower Fairy was arranged by destiny. Born with the physique of the Human Race, the soul of the Demon Tribe, and the blood of the Demon Race, she was a born calamity and the root of misfortune.

Although Yuxuan had calculated the advent of a calamity, he couldn’t determine who it was.

The Flower Fairy was born with a heavenly mandate. She would follow the set path of fate, and her identity was too crucial. She alone was intertwined with the fate of the entire world.

Under normal circumstances, she would lurk within the Orthodox Sects, waiting for the right moment. After embarking on her path of vengeance, she would return to the Land of Sealed Demons, reunite with Hua Ruolan, and then learn the truth.

But by then, her master, her loved ones, as well as those she held grudges against would all be dead.

Regretful for the mistakes she made, the Flower Fairy would struggle to control her Demonic Thoughts. To save her, Hua Ruolan would immolate herself, allowing the Flower Fairy to transform into a true demon. The power of the King of Zhennan would completely dissipate.

Moreover, the Qifeng Branch had already been tainted. A Divine Artifact in the legacy, with one missing, the King of Zhennan would no longer be able to return to his position. Without the Four Kings, the Qilin would not appear, and the Flower Fairy, as the Six Desires Celestial Demon, would unlock the seal of the Four Spirits, leading to calamity once more. This was supposed to be the natural course of fate.

Most of the plot was correct, but some deviations had happened.

Jiang Chenyu hadn’t died; the Flower Fairy hadn’t yet moved against most of her enemies; the Qifeng Branch had been purified by Lin Yun’s thunder and fire, endowing the Flower Fairy with the purest form of power and facing the most significant obstacle in transforming her demonic body, preserving the power of the Vermilion Bird.

The problem was, the Flower Fairy had now truly become an amalgam of human, demon, and monster, and had also obtained the power of her demonic body. She was the Demon Race’s Six Desires Celestial Demon and the future queen of the Demon Tribe...

Although she had yet to assume the throne, she had already inherited the king’s power, which is why the Qilin had appeared.

"When a single hair is moved, the whole body is affected. The fate of everyone will now be changed."

The Book Immortal frantically opened the Heavenly Book, only to see chaos within its pages.

He could no longer see any future.

"You actually won!" he said in disbelief.

The Book Immortal could not believe that with the Heavenly Book in hand, he could actually lose a bet—it was inconceivable.

Yuxuan appeared as nonchalant as ever, hands behind his back, gazing upward at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, yet inside he was thrilled to no end.

Who has the strongest fronting skills?

Look no further than the Taiqing Daoist Temple...

Forget it, it doesn’t rhyme well.

"Fair’s fair, it seems you also know of that person’s existence," said Yuxuan.

The Book Immortal quickly realized who had caused him to lose the wager.

The only person who was beyond the probing of fate was one.

Perhaps only he could break the heavenly mandate, the Book Immortal thought he alone knew of this, but to his surprise, Yuxuan had found him too.

His loss was not unjust.

Yuxuan casually inquired, "I want to ask about the whereabouts of the Earth Scripture."

The Book Immortal was speechless.

Do you want to get me killed?

While the two old men at the Taiqing Daoist Temple were conducting an unseemly deal, Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy also stepped out of the Hall of Holy Fire.

Seeing the two holding hands as they came out, Lin Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

It was good that they were alright; his jealousy could wait.

"Little Flower, you’re okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I feel much better," she replied. "My cultivation level has also increased a lot, and moreover, I’ve obtained two more Divine Artifacts."

The Qifeng Branch, having transformed into a hairpin, was now tucked into her hair. The formerly corrupted artifact, once the anonymous beast ’Thousand Mechanisms’ due to its need for flesh and blood, had now been purified and returned to its Divine Artifact status.

Besides its versatility, this artifact could serve as a seal, augment the power of the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, and also function as the pivotal piece for a Formation, able to etch formation diagrams.

Its greatest feature was its wide range of uses. Although it lacked offensive capabilities, its supporting effects were outstanding.

The Vermilion Bird Feather Fan was, in fact, a fan that could command wind on one side and unleash fire on the other, possessing formidable strength.

Upon hearing that the Flower Fairy had obtained two Divine Artifacts, everyone turned green with envy.

Especially Dongfang Hongyue.

She had been taunted by the Flower Fairy for being poor, and now, when everyone was seeking treasures, why should the Flower Fairy be the one to claim two Divine Artifacts!

What’s more, the Flower Fairy had already possessed Divine Artifacts before!

Jiang Chenyu silently hid behind Zhang Biyu.

"Good heavens, this rebellious disciple has become even tougher than before. What shall we do now?"

But as she tried to hide, she didn’t escape the Flower Fairy’s line of sight. Catching a glimpse of Jiang Chenyu, the corners of the Flower Fairy’s mouth lifted slightly and she smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven’t yet tested the power of this Vermilion Bird Feather Fan..."

While she claimed she wanted to test its power, her intention was clearly directed at Jiang Chenyu.

At this moment, Jiang Chenyu had lost her cultivation level and had already used the Moonlight Treasure Box, hence she was no match for the Flower Fairy.

Zhang Biyu couldn’t protect her either, and the key issue was that Jiang Chenyu couldn’t show any weakness.

In life, one can be defeated by others, but dignity must not be lost!

When the Flower Fairy raised her fan, Lin Yun made his move.

He pressed down on the Flower Fairy’s hand, saying, "This isn’t a good place. We should leave first."

In that instant, those in the know viewed Lin Yun with an added sense of mystery.

"Good heavens, whose side are you really on?"

Only Jiang Chenyu’s eyes were filled with gratitude.

Though not so gentle, this guy always managed to give her enough of a sense of security!

Considering that Jiang Chenyu lacked cultivation and wasn’t very nimble on her feet, Lin Yun went over and carried her on his back.

For a moment, Jiang Chenyu felt like she had a target on her back.

Three murderous gazes, especially from the Flower Fairy, were cast in their direction.

Jiang Chenyu noticed she was jealous and felt a bit smug in her heart.

You plotted against me once, so I’ll steal your man, hmph!

At this moment, Jiang Chenyu seemed to completely forget how she had wept and begged for mercy before.

And indeed, she hadn’t just offended the Flower Fairy.

To be precise, she had more enemies than she could count on one hand.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was contemplating how to resolve the grudge between the Flower Fairy and Jiang Chenyu.

The Flower Fairy, not knowing the truth, still saw Jiang Chenyu as the enemy, but if she learned the truth, she would surely feel remorse towards Jiang Chenyu and her hatred would cease.

However, to let her know the truth...

Actually, Lin Yun was inclined to tell the Flower Fairy; perhaps she would suffer from losing her mother, but at least she wouldn’t harbor hate toward more people.

Although he had promised his mother-in-law, Lin Yun felt it was better to tell the Flower Fairy.

After all, it wasn’t his first time breaking a promise, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

So, how to make Jiang Chenyu forgive the Flower Fairy?

Jiang Chenyu was a victim, after all, and her cultivation had been ruined; the Flower Fairy even wanted to kill her.

Putting himself in her shoes, Lin Yun felt that if he were Jiang Chenyu, he definitely wouldn’t forgive the Flower Fairy either.

Therefore, the real challenge was with Jiang Chenyu herself.

However...

A mere fish should be easy to handle, plus without any cultivation level, if she doesn’t obey, just disciplining her should do the trick.

Lin Yun was tapping into his scheming mind, and in no time, Zhang Biyu had passed by without waiting for him.

Then, Ji Ye hurriedly followed behind Zhang Biyu.

Dongfang Hongyue, looking at him with resentment, huffed at Lin Yun and disappeared in a burst of firelight.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "You all had better catch up quickly!"

Then, she elegantly flew away on her sword.

Among everyone present, only Lin Yun had the lowest cultivation level; all the others had their own escape skills, and Lin Yun relied solely on his legs.

He could use them, but the speed wasn’t as enduring as using Thunder Movement.

In the end, only the Flower Fairy remained.

"Brother Yun, wait up. While they’re not here, let’s resolve our grudge," she said.

Jiang Chenyu’s heart tightened, and she quickly clung onto Lin Yun.

She had no idea if Lin Yun could defeat the Flower Fairy, but she was definitely in danger.

However, the Flower Fairy didn’t rush to act against her, which somewhat eased Jiang Chenyu’s mind.

"You mentioned earlier that there’s more to the story, and now you’re protecting her like this. Do you have evidence now?"

The Flower Fairy was calm and wasn’t irrationally furious due to jealousy.

Lin Yun let out a deep sigh and said, "This matter is a long story. I originally didn’t want to tell you, but at this point, I can no longer hide it from you. Actually, Palace Master Jiang, and even the other Orthodox Sects, they are all innocent."

The Flower Fairy had already guessed what Lin Yun was going to say, but when she actually heard him confirm it, she still found it hard to believe.

"It all began with a conspiracy," Lin Yun said seriously, looking at the Flower Fairy as he began his tale.

He pondered and finally decided to tell the Flower Fairy about the Demonic Blood because, after all, she would sooner or later find out that she had already become a demon.

Not just a demon but also a member of the Demon Tribe, even though she showed no signs of demonization. Yet she carried the blood of the King of Zhennan, who was of the Demon Tribe.

Since she wouldn’t demonize, that part of the story was left aside.

Let’s talk about something related to demons.

"The Exquisite Heart within you is the bane of the Demon Race. To obtain the Exquisite Heart, the Demon Race infused you with Demonic Blood. To save you, your mother had no choice but to give you the Exquisite Heart and extract the Demonic Blood from your body."

"So that’s what happened..."

The Flower Fairy still remembered the affair of the Exquisite Heart, which neatly matched Lin Yun’s explanation.

"But who would have thought that the Demon Race is so cunning? They secretly informed the Orthodox Sects, and when they received the news and came over, your mother was in the middle of saving you. She couldn’t allow a search, leading to conflict. Moreover, the Demonic Blood within you erupted, causing everyone present to lose their sanity. That’s why Thousand Mechanism Valley ended up being destroyed."

On the spot, the Flower Fairy was stunned, not expecting these events at all.

"How did you know?"

"Do you remember Hu Yuling? When we captured her, I extracted this old story from her..."

My apologies to you, my little captive maid. Since you did something wrong back then, taking on a slightly bigger blame shouldn’t matter, right?
