The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 413 - 403

Lin Yun glanced at Fang Yu, who had a determined look on her face, and then at the sword she had dropped at her feet.

"I bet your sword doesn’t want to kill me!"

Without another word, Lin Yun picked up Fang Yu’s sword, not saying much, but gave her a longing gaze.

"Master, there are still troubles ahead, please be careful along the way."

After speaking, he slowly lifted the sword.

"Is no one going to stop me? If I keep acting, it won’t be good!"

Lin Yun complained to himself frantically, thinking if things really went south, he would just grab the sword and run.

But at that moment, someone finally stood up.

The first to plead was none other than Jiang Chenyu.

"Wait a moment!"

As soon as Lin Yun heard Jiang Chenyu speak, he slowed down the movement in his hands.

"Are you going to plead for him?"

Fang Yu’s face was cold, and Jiang Chenyu felt somewhat guilty, but still nodded and said, "I believe that Lin Yun doesn’t deserve death. Although he let the Snow Maiden go, he also bought time for the battle at Mountain and Sea Pass. After injuring the disciples of Eight Tones Temple, he healed them, and his coercion of me was only to help the Flower Fairy escape her predicament.

Although Lin Yun has made many mistakes, he is still a person of loyalty and righteousness. Moreover, thanks to him, we were able to escape danger when the Shenxiao Sect’s disciples were in trouble. When calculating the merits and demerits, Lin Yun’s merits should outweigh his faults. Even if we balance out the merits and faults, he doesn’t deserve to be killed."

Jiang Chenyu’s advice was rational and convincing.

However, Fang Yu retorted with dissatisfaction, "Those with merits should be rewarded, those with faults should be punished. If merits can always offset faults, then those who rely on their merits to misbehave, how should we deal with them? Moreover, Lin Yun is my disciple. If I don’t deal with him, how can I lead others in the future?"

Jiang Chenyu immediately understood.

The key is to maintain authority, huh!

She hadn’t realized that this little sister of hers could also play such games. If she had known, she wouldn’t have worried.

Fang Yu never really intended to kill Lin Yun. Saying that she would was actually to prompt others to plead for him.

If she had started by saying she wouldn’t kill Lin Yun, other people might have objected.

Jiang Chenyu was just surprised. Her straightforward little sister also had a time for compromise. It seems she wasn’t so single-minded after all!

"In that case, why not put Lin Yun’s matter aside for now? He is still a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, so why don’t you take him back to the Shenxiao Sect for the Elders’ tribunal to judge and then decide his punishment? How about that?"

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and turned towards Lin Yun, saying, "Rebellious disciple, do you have any objections?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "I am sorry, master. This will be the last time I call you master, as I cannot return with you to the Shenxiao Sect."

Lin Yun also knew that he wouldn’t end up dead if he returned to the Shenxiao Sect. Since the sect’s two greatest strengths were on his side, even if others truly wanted him dead, with Lin Yu present, his life would not be in danger.

However, if Lin Yun were to follow back, his determination to expose the Thunderclap Sword matter would become meaningless.

He just didn’t want to continue being an undercover agent at the Shenxiao Sect.

Moreover, he didn’t have much time left.

"Why not?"

Fang Yu’s heart ached, feeling as though she was about to lose Lin Yun.

"Because I have something I must do."

Lin Yun had already wasted a lot of time in the Capital City rescuing people. During this time, he didn’t know the condition of the Snow Maiden and still needed to find her. Moreover, the issue with the Grand Shaman hadn’t been resolved, and how he would establish himself on the grasslands was another concern.

"What’s so important that you must do it?"

"A friend’s life."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s heart surged with jealousy.

A friend?

It must be some girl again!

Indeed, Lin Yun could be considered loyal and righteous, which Fang Yu liked very much. However, she didn’t like that Lin Yun was loyal and righteous to every girl. Why couldn’t he just be that way to her alone?

"Refusing to return with me, are you intending to abandon the sect?"

Fang Yu’s tone was very stern. Looking at her, Lin Yun’s eyes said it all.

He was definitely going to betray the sect.

Fang Yu thought of the days she had spent together with Lin Yun and couldn’t help clenching her whip tightly in her hand.

"Think this through. If you try to escape by force, I won’t hold back when I act."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Please enlighten me."

Fang Yu: "..."

Put down the Thunderclap Sword before you say that!

Fang Yu was reminded of how she was carelessly captured by Lin Yun back then, and then what happened in the tent on the grassland. Even without the Thunderclap Sword, Lin Yun was formidable; now with it, she thought she would have an even harder time subduing him, and there might even be a chance of her getting overpowered.

If she were to be captured by Lin Yun again, then as a Sect Master, she would really lose face.

But since the bow was drawn, she had no choice but to strike. Fang Yu tentatively flicked her whip, and with a smack, it hit Lin Yun’s body.

"Why didn’t you dodge?"

Fang Yu didn’t expect to actually hit him with a casual strike. Lin Yun didn’t dodge or evade, and the whip left his skin open and flesh exposed, the wound immediately cauterized.

Finally, Fang Yu couldn’t control it anymore, and a look of pain appeared in her eyes.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "I know master is heartbroken, so I didn’t want you to suffer the pain alone."

These words keenly tugged at Fang Yu’s heartstrings. Looking at Lin Yun, she found herself unable to strike again.

"Oh, what a great drama this is, and are we arriving too late?"

It was Zhang Biyu who, as always, was heard before she was seen. When she gracefully descended, she brought with her a flurry of petals, and their fragrance filled the air, making Zhang Biyu seem even more otherworldly.

The subsequent arrivals of Dongfang Hongyue and Liu Ji were far more ordinary in comparison.

With the three Great Demon Lords gathered, probably only the Taiqing Daoist Temple would remain unflustered. Every other sect, without exception, would be in a state of panic.

Speaking of which, the power of the Three Teachings of the Demonic Path had quietly surpassed that of the Righteous Path.

That is, if one does not take the Taiqing Daoist Temple into account.

All three Great Demon Lords were still alive, but the Righteous Path had been through too many trials of late, and the deaths of key masters had taken their toll. Fang Yu hadn’t thought much of it during the alliance between the Righteous and Demonic, but now that the three Great Demon Lords had arrived together, she could feel the danger looming.

Luckily, the Taiqing Daoist Temple was there to ensure that nothing too serious would happen.

Fang Yu, with a cold voice, turned to Zhang Biyu, who seemed to have come to enjoy the drama, and asked, "Why is Sect Hierarch Zhang here?"

"We came to kill the Emperor, but unexpectedly failed to find him. Instead, we stumbled upon such a spectacle. Hey, Brother Lin, since the Shenxiao Sect no longer wants you, why not join our White Lotus Sect? We need talents like you."

Lin Yun: "..."

This White Lotus is really making an aggressive move!

Dongfang Hongyue also joined in the mischief, saying, "You can also come to the Red Lotus Sect; I quite like a young man like you." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As she spoke, Dongfang Hongyue sent a flirtatious wink towards Lin Yun, infuriating Fang Yu who felt her body buzzing with anger.

This was the agitation of the Thunderbolt Spiritual Power within her, roused in her fury.

She had long known about the history between Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue, and now this demoness clearly still had designs on Lin Yun. Although Fang Yu knew she could no longer have Lin Yun as her disciple, the bond that had developed over time wouldn’t just dissipate because of these events.

She certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch Dongfang Hongyue bully Lin Yun.

Only Lin Yun and Lin Yu among those present knew that Dongfang Hongyue spoke the truth.

In Lin Yu’s eyes, Dongfang Hongyue was provoking her, whereas in Lin Yun’s eyes, Dongfang Hongyue was seeking excitement.

It seems my wife Hong Yue has developed some quite serious XP.

She enjoys flirting in public without anyone noticing.

It seems that last time in the woods has given her a taste for it.

"The matters of our Shenxiao Sect are not for others to intervene in," Fang Yu said sternly.

Fang Yu eyed Dongfang Hongyue, ready for a fight at any moment, which made Dongfang Hongyue unhappy.

You’re coveting my man and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and now you have the audacity to threaten me?

"What if we do want to intervene?"

Dongfang Hongyue had no intention of appeasing the situation, and Zhang Biyu was somewhat surprised. Dongfang Hongyue never caused trouble without a reason. Her caution had even astonished Zhang Biyu. Among the Demon Lords, only Dongfang Hongyue was steady to this extent.

Zhang Biyu’s earlier remark was merely to tease Fang Yu verbally; she hadn’t really wanted to create conflict with Fang Yu. But Dongfang Hongyue’s stance was clearly combat-ready.

There must be a deeper intent behind this action.

After some consideration, Zhang Biyu realized.

Analyzing the current situation, one could see that Shenxiao Sect had two Enlightened Realm cultivators, Guanghan Palace one, and Li Fire God Palace one. The rest were with Taiqing Daoist Temple.

Among them, Ji Ye of Li Fire God Palace wasn’t a concern and could even be considered a half-ally.

That means, without considering the Taiqing Daoist Temple, the current balance of power between the Righteous and Demonic paths is even.

It could even be said that the Three Great Demon Sects are a bit more powerful.

Thus, now is the best moment for the Three Great Demon Sects to cleanse their reputation and return to the fold.

To cleanse their name isn’t as simple as just saying it; they need to showcase their strength.

To make everyone aware of the Sects’ power without actually breaking with the Righteous Path, having a skirmish with Fang Yu would be perfect.

Isn’t this an excellent opportunity?

Truly, Dongfang Hongyue thinks three steps ahead, a strategy beyond my own.

While Zhang Biyu marveled, Dongfang Hongyue and Fang Yu had already started their battle.

When women fight over a man, the power they unleash is the most dreadful, especially when both are jealous, such a battle will hold no punches.

With Dongfang Hongyue’s mastery of fire and her clever movements, Fang Yu was caught off guard, while Fang Yu’s ferocity forced Dongfang Hongyue to be extremely cautious.

The two were so engrossed in their fight it was as if they were engaged in a life-or-death duel, utterly focused and committed.

Lin Yun was stunned, You’re playing for real? Stop it, someone’s going to get killed!

From the ground to the sky, a ball of fire and a ball of thunder clashed non-stop, the sheer magnitude escalating with each collision.

Even Zhang Biyu was shocked.

Ah, Dongfang Hongyue wouldn’t actually be trying to kill Fang Yu, would she?

That would be inappropriate; the Three Sects wouldn’t be able to cleanse their name then!

Above in the high sky, Fang Yu and Dongfang Hongyue decisively deployed their ultimate moves.

"Thunder of the Heavens!"

"Fire Dance Shock Heaven!"

The clash of powerful Spiritual Power sent shockwaves in every direction.

Fang Yu, observing the sky filled with lightning and fire, was shocked to find Dongfang Hongyue had vanished.

After releasing such a potent spell, she had managed to use the aftermath of the thunder and fire to teleport right behind Fang Yu in mere moments!

Fang Yu had no time to react before Dongfang Hongyue struck her squarely in the back with a heavy palm.

Fang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and plunged downwards. But soon after, she fell into a warm embrace...
