The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 376 - 365: The Royal Family Is Planning a Rebellion

Chapter 376: Chapter 365: The Royal Family Is Planning a Rebellion

Lin Yun was always good at deceiving people. He would mix lies with the truth. And because his previous truths had won the Flower Fairy’s trust, she naturally wouldn’t suspect the subsequent lies—especially since she already trusted Lin Yun. She would have never imagined that Lin Yun would deceive her.

The purpose of Lin Yun’s actions was merely to shift the Flower Fairy’s hatred from himself to Hu Yuling and perhaps even to the entire Demon Race.

But that had nothing to do with Lin Yun. The Demon Race was the enemy, after all. It was simply a matter of setting a trap for them to fall into.

As for Hu Yuling...

When the time came for the Flower Fairy to want her dead, all he needed to do was quietly lend a helping hand. Wasn’t a little maidservant supposed to relieve her master of his worries?

Upon learning the "truth" of the matter, the Flower Fairy was momentarily unable to accept it.

Jiang Chenyu was also silent for a while. Indeed, she had been manipulated from the very beginning.

Master and disciple looked at each other, both feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The Flower Fairy’s guilt weighed heavily on her. She had always seen the Righteous Path as her enemy because she believed that their accusation of collusion with the Demon Sect was nothing but slander. She thought the Righteous Path was only after power, aiming to steal the formations and mechanisms of the Thousand Mechanism Valley and to prevent the valley from growing too powerful.

Now that the truth had come to light, she realized she had been wrongly blaming her master.

But the damage was done. Although Jiang Chenyu was still alive, she had lost her cultivation level.

She had also killed Master Wukong. Although Wukong had attacked her only because she had fallen into demonhood, this was still a sin she committed.

For a moment, the Flower Fairy felt lost and at a loss for what to do.

She wanted to take responsibility for the harm she had caused to Jiang Chenyu and Wukong. But her own quest for vengeance had not yet been settled, and she couldn’t afford to accept this guilt.

It was at this time that Lin Yun could act as a lubricant.

"Actually, your master is innocent. You should apologize to her."

The Flower Fairy nodded and solemnly kowtowed three times on the ground.

"These three bows, one for the grace of my master’s teachings, the second for my sin of betraying my ancestors and master, and the third, hoping that my master will grant me some time. Once I have had my revenge, I will come to beg forgiveness from you."

Jiang Chenyu watched the Flower Fairy, who had just been eager to kill her, now kneel submissively, feeling a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

She wanted to gloat a bit, but seeing the Flower Fairy’s sad and resolute expression, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

From her perspective, she couldn’t forgive the Flower Fairy. For many years, she had been cultivating the Flower Fairy as her successor, treating her with love and care, only to be betrayed by her.

Cultivation level was actually not that important. She had even fantasized about starting her cultivation anew from the Nine Revolutions. Maybe the Flower Fairy had just given her a push!

Thinking this way, the hatred didn’t seem so intense anymore.

The most important thing in life is to be broad-minded.

If she held on to this grudge, wouldn’t Lin Yun, that scoundrel, do the same?

She was currently without cultivation, and who knows what excessive things Lin Yun, that scoundrel, would do to protect Little Flower.

He might not kill her, but bullying her severely wouldn’t be out of the question.

Jiang Chenyu remembered how she had been tormented by Lin Yun in the past, and her bottom still felt a bit sore.

Right, the Flower Fairy hadn’t yet perfected the Taiyin True Scripture, which meant she hadn’t yet been with Lin Yun...

Didn’t that mean she had gained a step on her?

Jiang Chenyu felt unexpectedly pleased.

"I will not forgive you."

Jiang Chenyu expressed her stance. Just as Lin Yun was about to thoroughly discipline Jiang Chenyu, she added, "I also don’t hate you. Perhaps both you and I are just pawns in this game. However, the affection between us as master and disciple ends today. From now on, you are no longer Jiang Chenyu’s disciple, nor are you a disciple of Guanghan Palace."

The Flower Fairy was expelled from her sect; Lin Yun had no objections to this.

Betraying one’s master and ancestors was a grave sin. Jiang Chenyu merely expelled her from the sect without demanding that her cultivation be destroyed, which was already quite merciful.

This fish was indeed obedient.

Lin Yun didn’t demand that she forgive the Flower Fairy. Some matters were only for the parties involved to forgive.

Even though Lin Yun could now control Jiang Chenyu, and coerce her, there was no need for that. He wasn’t some devil.

"Your enemy is the Demon Race. They have lingered in hiding for who knows how many years, undetected by anyone. The extent of their power remains unknown. Anyway, take care of yourself."

"Thank you."

The Flower Fairy expressed her gratitude and then stood up.

"With the misunderstanding resolved and grievances to be settled another day, let’s move on!"

"Hmm."

Lin Yun, still carrying Jiang Chenyu, rapidly took off, using the Thunder Movement technique. The Flower Fairy silently followed beside him. Actually, she had one more question that she hadn’t asked.

Why had Lin Yun and her master suddenly become so close?

That was her puzzlement. And it seemed that Jiang Chenyu trusted Lin Yun quite a lot too. Could it be...

The Flower Fairy had every reason to be suspicious. After all, Lin Yun was too skilled at stirring the hearts of girls. He couldn’t possibly have charmed Jiang Chenyu too, could he?

It shouldn’t be, at least it wasn’t supposed to.

The three of them ran all the way to the surface, where the great formation Thousand Mechanism Change that was previously set up by the Flower Fairy’s subordinates had already completely collapsed.

However, as soon as they reached the surface, they sensed that something was not right.

Torches formed a line around them, and from a distance, several cannons could be seen.

"Flower Fairy, I, the Prince, have been waiting for you for quite some time now!"

Lin Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a purple python robe holding a scroll. This attire seemed somewhat royal, as typically only the royal family favored dragon and python motifs.

"Who are you?"

The Flower Fairy sensed the newcomer’s ill intent, but she was already mentally prepared for this.

However, she thought she would face questioning from the Eight Tones Temple, not that the Imperial Court would come calling.

"I am King Jibei, Zhao Guang, acting on the orders of Our Emperor to subdue demons here. Flower Fairy, do you admit to any wrongdoing?"

Lin Yun was immediately full of question marks. What’s going on? When did the royal family start stirring up trouble?

"Even if I were guilty, it is not the place of the Imperial Court to judge."

The Flower Fairy had no intention of showing any deference. Her cultivation had recently made a breakthrough, and she was on the cusp of reaching the Enlightened Realm. Together with three extremely powerful divine artifacts, she did not concern herself with a member of the Imperial Court.

"How audacious, showing disdain for royal law, you must be punished! Guards, seize her!"

With the order from Zhao Guang, four acolytes immediately flew out from behind him.

Zhang Biyu watched and couldn’t help but find the situation amusing.

This is the Imperial Court?

When fighting the Demon Tribe, battling in the Great Desert, not a single Enlightened Realm powerhouse appeared. Now facing their own people, they sent four.

It wasn’t just four acolytes of the Enlightened Realm; those carrying torches on the periphery were the Divine Martial Army, all of whom were cultivators. The Divine Martial Army had a full complement of two thousand men, all devoted to guarding the Royal Family.

At least a thousand men had arrived this time.

Lin Yu didn’t know about the Flower Fairy’s advancement in cultivation and worried that she couldn’t handle the four men. She stepped forward without a second word, "May I inquire as to what crime the Flower Fairy has committed? If your highness cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, we will not stand idly by."

Zhao Guang glanced at Lin Yu and sneered, "Lin Yu of the Shenxiao Sect? I advise you not to meddle in affairs that aren’t your concern. The investigation into the Shenxiao Sect’s collusion with the Demon Race is ongoing. Being an elder of the Shenxiao Sect, if you dare to assist this demon spawn Flower Fairy, don’t blame us for being merciless!"

Hearing Zhao Guang’s staunch words, Lin Yun instinctively thought to himself.

My goodness, is the Imperial Court planning a rebellion?

Lin Yun felt puzzled. The Flower Fairy had only recently turned into a demon. How did the Imperial Court come to know so quickly?

However, what Lin Yun didn’t realize was that it was a coincidence.

Ever since the conflict between the Human and Demon Races, as well as the war with the Great Desert, the ambition of the Imperial Court had gradually been exposed.

A true man, born into this world, should not languish forever beneath others.

The Royal power did not extend beyond the Capital City, and everywhere, people only recognized the authority of the Sects. The Imperial Court had long grown tired of this situation.

Each Emperor wanted to rule over all under heaven, and now the opportunity had come.

The Lord of Guanghan Palace had fallen, the Grassland had tied up a significant portion of the military forces, and at this moment, the relics of the Gan River were the focal point of the Imperial Court’s attention, as they were eager to take advantage of the situation.

They certainly would not ignore such a significant commotion today.

Upon investigating the scene, they found, to their surprise, that Master Wukong had been killed, and by the Flower Fairy no less. This was an opportunity! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In the guise of seeking justice for Master Wukong, they could gain the support of Eight Tones Temple and, with the accusation of collusion with the Demon Race against the Shenxiao Sect, they could challenge the Sect as well.

At the same time, the Imperial Court had also contacted another Elder of Guanghan Palace, promising her the lead position in exchange for her support.

The Lower Three Sects, Sword Sect, and Li Fire God Palace were also easy to handle. They would be quite happy to see the misfortune of the Shenxiao Sect.

This was called forming alliances!

Once all the Sects were dealt with, the Emperor’s dream of supremacy would surely be secured.

Zhao Guang, as the Emperor’s most trusted son and himself of the Heart Guarding Realm, took the lead in this operation.

However, what he didn’t know was that some people had hidden advantages.

"You think a few paltry shrimps can capture me?"

The Flower Fairy’s taunts infuriated the four acolytes.

In the Imperial Court, their status was exceptionally high, second only to one, above thousands; but now they had been ridiculed by a mere girl, and they wouldn’t stand for it.

Before they could show their true power, however, the Flower Fairy pulled out the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, fiercely waved it, and a wild gust arose, blowing the four acolytes away, unprepared, while Zhao Guang was sent straight into the sky.

Where the remnants of the gust passed, there was chaos, and the so-called Divine Martial Army was but a joke before the Flower Fairy’s fan.

Lin Yun was stunned on the spot.

Good heavens, is this a banana leaf fan?

Seeing their prince blown away, one of the acolytes chased after him while the other three flew back.

Zhang Biyu smiled and said, "Today is a good day to cut down the Imperial Court’s influence. Flower Fairy, how about we join forces for this one time?"

Zhang Biyu knew the Flower Fairy was a fierce ally; originally, she had been able to fend off the Demon King of the Demon Tribe with just a pair of daggers such that he dared not face her directly. Now that she had the fan and possibly other divine artifacts unknown to Zhang, this ally was fortunate and powerful.

Currently unaccepted by the Righteous Path, what could be better than bringing her aboard?

Upon hearing Zhang Biyu’s words, the three acolytes grew nervous.

Including Lin Yu, it was now a 3v3 situation.

That’s when Dongfang Hongyue also spoke up.

"You all go ahead and fight, I’ll take my leave first."

The acolytes of the Imperial Court breathed a sigh of relief; this Demon Lord not getting involved meant they still had a chance.

However, what they didn’t realize was that Dongfang Hongyue’s departure was actually laying a trap...
