The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 123 Your Disciple is My Disciple

Dongfang Hongyue did not believe Zhang Biyu’s nonsense. A grand Demon Lord getting hurt by her messaging fire talisman?

That would be too funny.

However, she didn’t have such low emotional intelligence, and perfunctorily offered an apology, "Sorry, but this time there really is an urgent matter."

"What? Your man ran off again?"

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

If we weren’t both from the Demon Sect, I would’ve set you on fire and been done with it.

Seeing Dongfang Hongyue’s change in expression, Zhang Biyu covered her mouth to suppress a laugh and said, "Just kidding, don’t be mad, let’s focus on the serious stuff!"

She was quite skilled at messing with people’s minds.

Dongfang Hongyue held back, pushing down the anger that had been stirred up, and said, "I believe there’s a force stirring up chaos in the world, inciting conflicts between all parties."

"Isn’t that supposed to be our Demon Sect’s job?"

Zhang Biyu made a snarky comment, and Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t even retort.

All she could do was say dryly, "The mastermind behind the scenes has big schemes. We should crush his conspiracy and avert this crisis."

"Do you think that’s something people from our Demon Sect should be doing?"

Zhang Biyu made another ruthless comment.

She thought Dongfang Hongyue was quite the oddity in the Demon Sect.

A person from the Demon Sect actually trying to prevent a catastrophe in the mortal world.

But this did align with her interests.

She didn’t want too many people to die either; the White Lotus Sect aimed for revolution as their ultimate goal. If everyone died, what would be the point of a revolt? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

However, she didn’t want to reveal this point to Dongfang Hongyue; it was better to keep it hidden to manipulate Dongfang Hongyue into doing her bidding!

"Don’t you see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? With the Green Lotus Sect drawing fire for us, we can grow our power in the shadows. With the demon tribe to the south and the barbarians to the north keeping the Righteous Path sects in check, they surely wouldn’t dare to fall out with us completely. Isn’t this the perfect chance for us to rise?"

Zhang Biyu believed this line of thought was exactly what a member of the Demon Sect should have! Surely nobody was really bent on cooperating with the Righteous Path, right?

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

She knew Zhang Biyu was right, but she had seen the northern barbarians invade the border towns, killing and plundering with such brutality that she, the Demon Sect Leader, couldn’t help but denounce them as twisted.

"All I know is that we and the Green Lotus Sect have an interdependent relationship. Not only that, although we’re hostile towards the Seven Righteous Sects, we’re still part of the same race. Our paths may differ, but we can coexist on this land. But the demon and barbarian tribes are not of our kind, and without the ability to protect ourselves, we could face the calamity of extinction."

"Even if the human race were wiped out, with your cultivation level, you’d still live on just fine. Why would you help them?"

Zhang Biyu’s words were cruel, fully embodying the ruthlessness of a superior.

Dongfang Hongyue looked at Zhang Biyu’s impassive face and suddenly chuckled, "You don’t need to test me, even if you know I practice the Path of Virtuous Merit, so what? I have no weaknesses left."

Dongfang Hongyue’s intelligence was not given for nothing. The person behind the scenes was treating the White Lotus Sect as a pawn, something Zhang Biyu surely couldn’t tolerate. The repeated denial of her words was nothing more than an attempt to get her to put in more effort.

However, Zhang Biyu looked innocently at her and said, "No weaknesses? Isn’t that young man named Lin Yun also your weakness?"

A murderous intent flashed subtly in Dongfang Hongyue’s eyes. This woman—she could no longer be left alive.

But before she could speak, Zhang Biyu, covering her mouth with a laugh, said, "Oh dear, Sister Hong Yue, you get angry so easily, I was just joking."

Despite appearing calm, Zhang Biyu was quite panicked.

Dongfang Hongyue was probably harboring murderous intentions, right?

But she really was just joking—who would have thought that an Upper Realm Cultivator would allow someone else to become a weakness in their heart?

That’s just absurd!

Sister Hong Yue, can’t you at least pretend? Just fake it, and I’ll pretend I don’t know, okay?

I really don’t know what exactly is the relationship between Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue.

Maybe... mentor and disciple?

That kid must be quite talented.

But nowadays, which mentor treasures their disciple so much?

Yet Dongfang Hongyue is so anxious...

Could it be, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t possibly fall in love with a man, could she?

In that instant, Zhang Biyu’s mind raced with many thoughts, while Dongfang Hongyue remained silent.

Her murderous intent might have been retracted, but Zhang Biyu felt even more in danger.

"Look, Sister Hong Yue, what if I promise to help out? Lin Yun is your disciple, right? I swear I won’t reveal this secret. We are like sisters, and your disciple is like my disciple. I’ll protect him well too," Zhang Biyu coaxed Dongfang Hongyue, knowing she couldn’t win a fight against someone who resorts to fire at the slightest disagreement.

However, as she tried to sweet-talk, Dongfang Hongyue’s gaze grew even more dangerous...

This woman wants to steal my disciple?

"You guessed right, Lin Yun is indeed my disciple, but I don’t want this secret exposed. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless," Dongfang Hongyue admitted reluctantly that Lin Yun was her disciple, a move of desperation. Zhang Biyu was always sharp-witted, and since she had sensed something, to keep denying it would only reveal more.

"Don’t worry, I understand."

It’s just about sending an undercover agent!

But, another one to infiltrate Shenxiao Sect? Poor Shenxiao Sect.

Liu Ji also went undercover in Shenxiao Sect previously, almost ending up as the Sect Master, and when he defected, he infuriated the old Sect Master to death. Although rumors between these Upper Realm Cultivators about Liu Ji and Fang Yu were rife, they all knew how much Fang Yu loathed Liu Ji.

If it weren’t for Liu Ji’s high cultivation level, Fang Yu would have struck him dead numerous times by now.

This time the Red Lotus Sect is eyeing Shenxiao Sect, such a tragedy. Who knows if Lin Yun will end up infuriating Fang Yu to death too? These people from the Demon Sect have no heart!

How can they always target one sect for calamity?

Oh, but I’m from the Demon Sect too, huh?

Maybe, should our White Lotus Sect also make an appearance?

Zhang Biyu’s mind started to wander with bizarre thoughts once again.

Dongfang Hongyue, no longer in the mood for idle chat, said directly, "Let’s talk business. We have three days to find evidence that Green Lotus was framed. If we can’t, conflict between the Righteous and Demonic is inevitable. The White Lotus Sect has the strongest intelligence-gathering capability among the three sects; I presume it shouldn’t be a problem for you?"

"Alright, but if you want me to work, you should give me some benefits, right?"

Dongfang Hongyue’s expression was icy as she asked, "What do you want?"

"Hmm, your disciple is quite good-looking, how about..."

Dongfang Hongyue had already disconnected the link.

Zhang Biyu stared as Dongfang Hongyue’s image vanished, sinking into contemplation.

Isn’t she placing too much importance on this disciple?

Even if the kid is talented, does he really matter that much to her?

"There must be a secret here!"
