The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 445 - 435 Insider Traitor Exposed

Upon learning that Lin Yun had already fled, Lin Yu also couldn’t contain her anger.

Well done, Lin Yun, you’ve made it to Purple Cloud Mountain, had time to do bad things with Fang Yu, and yet you ignored her completely, not even daring to meet her face to face, utterly outrageous!

Lin Yu thought of herself as quite tolerant, and although she was jealous, she wouldn’t actually go so far as to chop up Lin Yun.

But Lin Yun’s behavior tonight truly saddened her.

Apart from catching him getting intimate with the Snow Maiden, Lin Yu was already fuming, and now she was even more enraged, wishing she could fly after him on her sword and tear him into pieces.

You think you can run? Try running away from me again!

What irked Lin Yu the most, however, was Lin Yun secretly getting cozy with Fang Yu.

So the old was forgotten for the new, huh? Was she inferior to Fang Yu?

That feeling of being outdone by a romantic rival in terms of allure, that was what truly infuriated Lin Yu, and it was something she couldn’t let go of, even though she prided herself on not caring about appearances.

In a fit of rage, Lin Yu grabbed the Gale Sword with the intention to blow off steam on Lin Yun, given that with his level of cultivation, he couldn’t have gotten very far.

Upon the horseback, Lin Yun felt a chill down his spine, sensing the fierce sword Qi from Purple Cloud Mountain, which made his scalp tingle.

Great, Lin Yu must be angry!

That was careless of me!

Originally, Lin Yun only planned to deliver the sword and leave without dallying.

Yet, seeing Fang Yu, he couldn’t resist teasing her, and that dallying led to trouble.

The initial plan was to meet Fang Yu and then secretly rendezvous with Lin Yu, but after the affair, obviously there was no time left.

Of course, he hadn’t planned to make such a rash escape; at the very least, he had just left Fang Yu utterly bewildered, and he needed to properly comfort her to avoid any regrets later.

Unfortunately, an emergency occurred; Hu Yuling sent a message saying something serious had happened.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as Lin Yun had just finished the fight. If she had notified him any earlier, he would have been even more distressed.

The telepathic connection between master and servant couldn’t convey much information; Lin Yun only knew it was urgent, extremely urgent, requiring his immediate attention, and without a moment to comfort Fang Yu, he departed.

If his guess was correct, it should be because Lin Yu discovered he’d been there, and now she was angry.

Sigh, I’ll have to think of a good apology the next time we meet!

"Hu Yuling, oh Hu Yuling, you better have an important message for me, or I swear I’ll hang you up and beat you for three days!"

While inwardly swearing, Lin Yun urged Snowstep to speed up. Behind him, the sword Qi of Purple Cloud Mountain eventually did not leave the mountain, for Fang Yu had stopped Lin Yu.

With but a thought, her Immortal Garment enveloped her, and Lin Yu, eyeing her impressive figure, seemed almost ready to breathe fire.

However, Fang Yu said, "Lin Yun said he had important matters to attend to, so there’s no need for you to stop him."

Lin Yu’s gaze returned to the sword in her hand, with the words "Cloud Rain" particularly eye-catching.

"Did he give you that sword?"

Lin Yu’s expression was inscrutable, but Fang Yu could feel that she seemed to be gritting her teeth as she spoke.

Fang Yu also felt a bit shy, saying, "He said he took my Immortal Sword and forged this one for me personally."

Forged it personally, that was the key point.

Lin Yu’s teeth itched even more.

Fang Yu was obviously showing off before her!

Lin Yun had previously taken her Thunderclap Sword too, so why hadn’t he made one for her?

There’s a saying that one doesn’t resent poverty but inequality, and Lin Yu felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

Lin Yun had given Dongfang Hong Yue the Calming Sea Pearl and Fang Yu a sword, but Lin Yu didn’t really want gifts from Lin Yun. It was just the fact that he’d given them to others, and she had none.

Lin Yu felt slighted, but she didn’t express it.

She feigned indifference, commenting, "He never learned Artifact Refining before, so this sword may not necessarily suit you."

"It doesn’t matter, the thought counts, and besides, I think this sword is very powerful."

The Cloud Rain Sword had not yet birthed a Sword Spirit, but that didn’t detract from the sword’s might.

Many Immortal Swords are not born with spirits. The birth of a Sword Spirit can happen in three ways: one is to capture a person or a Spirit Beast’s Divine Soul and forcibly infuse it into the sword to enhance its spirit.

The Thunderclap Sword belongs to this category, with Little Gold being captured inside it rather than naturally arising from the sword.

The second is to be born with spirit; some Artifact Refining masters are adept, and with certain special materials, the birth of the sword could coincide with the birth of the Sword Spirit.

The third is spiritual awakening through continuous nurturing; an ordinary iron sword can develop spirit because it is nurtured day and night by a person.

This method requires a long time to cultivate a Sword Spirit, but the resulting bond between the sword and its owner is the most harmonious.

The most common method of cultivating Sword Spirits in the Cultivation World today is actually the first, as other people and Spirit Beasts already possess wisdom, allowing a Sword Spirit to quickly become battle-ready.

The second method is rare, and the third requires perseverance and patience.

The Cloud Rain Sword, though imbued with tremendous power, had yet to develop a Sword Spirit, meaning it was still masterless; however, since Lin Yun had infused it with a copious amount of blood while forging, the sword could be considered his.

Yet Lin Yun gifted it to Fang Yu, and she could wield it just the same, whether she chose to capture a spirit for the sword or nurture it on her own.

Fang Yu decided upon receiving the sword that she would nurture it slowly on her own. Capturing spirits to empower a sword is a selfish act that benefits oneself at another’s expense, and Fang Yu did not wish to engage in such actions.

Using her own Divine Sense to nurture the sword Lin Yun gave her felt like the two of them were raising a child together, which gave Fang Yu a special sense of happiness.

Now, seeing Lin Yu’s eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel smug.

Everyone said that the two top powerhouses of the Shenxiao Sect were as close as sisters, supporting and looking out for each other, but that night, they almost came to blows.

Palatial intrigue was everywhere, and luckily Lin Yun was not present; otherwise, he would have suffered terribly.

Lin Yu, not wanting to lose her composure, especially in front of Fang Yu—even though she was practically turning green with envy—still tried to appear nonchalant and said, "I’m glad you like it. By the way, the Sect Master came to me just now and said that there will be an attack on Purple Cloud Mountain tomorrow. What do you think?"

Lin Yu forcefully changed the subject, but her eyes involuntarily followed Fang Yu’s hand as she caressed the sword, with the words ’Cloud Rain’ engraved on it, which really stung.

"I alone will attend the Cultivation Conference, and you can just stay and guard the Purple Cloud Mountain," Fang Yu decided.

With Lin Yu stationed at Purple Cloud Mountain, there wouldn’t be any problems, and holding the Cloud Rain Sword, Fang Yu felt fearless against the world.

Most importantly, she had recently made a slight breakthrough in her realm. Lin Yun’s physique was indeed special; her Wind Thunder Immortal Body had been fully activated, and her Cultivation Level had substantially increased. With the Cloud Rain Sword in hand, she felt she had nothing to fear.

Lin Yu expressed some concern, however, and said, "If they make their move, can you really hold your own?"

"It’s fine. As long as Daoist Master Yuxuan doesn’t take action, none of them can do anything to me. If Daoist Master Yuxuan does make a move, your coming along won’t make a difference."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement, aware that with her current strength, she indeed was no match for Yuxuan, but given a bit more time, she was sure she could manage it.

"Why don’t I go then, and you stay to guard Purple Cloud Mountain?"

Lin Yu wanted to take the opportunity to catch Lin Yun and teach him a lesson. Lin Yun was likely not to return to Purple Cloud Mountain anytime soon, and if she stayed here, she was certain she wouldn’t see him.

The Cultivation Conference was bound to be lively, and Lin Yun wouldn’t want to miss it.

"No need. After all, I am the former Sect Master. They’re mostly coming after me, so naturally, I should be the one to handle it," she was also planning to find Lin Yun.

However...

Lin Yun had no intention of attending the Cultivation Conference at all.

Riding on Snowstep, he rushed his way to meet up with Hu Yuling.

"What major event made you seek me out so urgently?" Lin Yun asked, anger evident in his eyes.

We could have had a feast tonight, but because of you, I’m only three-quarters full!

Although Hu Yuling’s bosom was not inferior to Fang Yu’s, she lacked Fang Yu’s allure of innocence and sensuality. Hmm, this little maid also had a flavor of her own, but it was different from Fang Yu’s.

Hmph, if you can’t satisfy me, you’ll have to compensate for the meal I lost out on today!

Lin Yun had already decided on how to hang Hu Yuling up and give her a good beating, the thought of which was slightly thrilling!

Hm? Wait a minute, am I becoming increasingly thirsty lately?

Could this be the challenge of the Heart Guarding Realm? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

No, I must maintain my dao heart.

Lin Yun’s inner struggles oscillated between restlessness and tranquility. Hu Yuling, meanwhile, was frightened by Lin Yun’s ferocity, her legs went weak, and she instinctively tucked her tail between them, clutching it with her hands, afraid that Lin Yun would grab it and whip her with it.

"The Leader has already taken action. At Mountain and Sea Pass, Yuzhu killed Yuheng and Yuzhen; Yuxiu was seriously injured, Yuzhu also got slightly injured and kidnapped Zhen Li, a disciple of Yuxuan. They are now on the run, and the Leader ordered me to assist. I thought the situation was serious, so I reported to you, Master," she said.

Lin Yun: "..."

Such unexpected developments!

Two Enlightened Realm Cultivators from the Taiqing Daoist Temple fell just like that?

Yuzhu, who seemed so ethereal as a female cultivator and only at the Celestial Knowing Realm, acted so decisively.

In the past, when Hu Yuling was up against a cultivator of the same realm from the Shenxiao Sect, she ended up as a slave to Lin Yun after being defeated and fleeing in a panic.

Look at others!

Lin Yun’s gaze wounded Hu Yuling, and she said with a sense of grievance, "I’m not a demon skilled in combat."

Indeed, compared to combat, Hu Yuling was better at infiltration, gathering intelligence; she did not have a significant advantage in direct combat.

"So, Yuzhu is also a member of your Demon Race, well-hidden indeed. It seems your Leader is going all in. But didn’t she already obtain a Heavenly Demon Instrument? Could it be she’s not satisfied and wants to take everything?"

Lin Yun did not panic just because Zhen Li had been kidnapped; he had received help from Zhen Li before, so he must rescue her, but panicking certainly wouldn’t save anyone.

"The Heavenly Demon Instrument obtained by the Leader can’t unlock the Four Spirits Barrier, so she sent me to take Yuxuan’s disciple in hopes of negotiating with Yuxuan," she explained.

This was indeed the way of the Demon Race; they would bully a disciple if possible and avoid confronting the master.

But the Demon Clan Leader was unlucky this time. She just happened to assign the task to Hu Yuling, probably because they were running low on manpower.

Isn’t that practically handing someone over for free?

"Where were you supposed to meet up?"

"Right here."

Lin Yun: "???"

Are you trying to screw me over?
