The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 88 Face-to-Face Conspiracy

Lin Yun was also quite annoyed. If it weren’t for the sudden arrival of someone, Dongfang Hongyue would have been completely his by now, and their relationship would have progressed to a new level.

Carrying discontent towards Zhang Xiuya, Lin Yun observed his actions intently, curious about what kind of trick he was up to.

He saw Zhang Xiuya take out a bamboo tube, from which he released a little red snake.

Then, Zhang Xiuya picked up a bone flute and started playing. No sound came out, but the red snake began to dance gracefully.

Good grief, what is he doing coming here to play with snakes in his free time?

"Please, Elder, show yourself."

As his voice fell, the snake stopped its dance, coiled itself into a ball, and spoke in human language, "Why have you summoned me so urgently?"

"I have a small favor to ask of the Elder," said Zhang Xiuya.

"What is it?"

"I would like the Elder to help me eliminate someone."

The Little Red Snake was silent for a long time, and Lin Yun almost thought the snake was reluctant to commit murder. Unexpectedly, the snake burst out cursing, "Are you as dumb as a bag of hammers? Can’t you just get to the point and tell me who you want to kill, their status, all at once? Must I really ask you for every detail?"

Zhang Xiuya: "..."

Such a fiery temper.

After being reprimanded, Zhang Xiuya’s face turned red with shame and anger, but considering his own predicament, he dared not express his fury.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he finally said, "His name is Lin Yun. He has escaped from the Demon Sect and was just taken in as a disciple by my master. I believe his talents and destiny are remarkable. If he stays, the threat to me is considerable."

Lin Yun: "..."

Talk about timing—I just happened to overhear your loud plotting.

Dongfang Hongyue squinted her eyes too. Someone wanted to kill her disciple—er, rather, her wayward disciple—and that was a slap in the face!

Although, as a Demon Lord, she didn’t have much face left to lose.

The Little Red Snake fell silent once more.

After a long while, it finally spoke, "This matter seems fairly straightforward, but what will you give me in exchange?"

Zhang Xiuya clenched his teeth and said, "As long as you kill Lin Yun, I will tell you a secret about the Thunderclap Sword."

"The Immortal Artifact that is the Shenxiao Sect’s mountain-guarding treasure? What good does that do me if I know about it? You don’t think I can actually raid the Shenxiao Sect for it, do you?"

"Knowing this secret, plotting to seize the Immortal Artifact is not difficult; it just depends on whether you dare to take the gamble," replied Zhang Xiuya.

"I’m not betting."

Zhang Xiuya: "..."

Why are people from the Demon Sect so difficult to deal with these days?

"Why not?"

"What use do I have for that Immortal Artifact? Besides, it involves great risk. It’s not worth it. Unless you tell me the secret first and help me obtain the Immortal Artifact, then I might consider it."

Zhang Xiuya then realized that the other party was not uninterested in the Immortal Artifact, he had just been trying to negotiate a better deal.

But Zhang Xiuya steeled his heart and agreed right away.

He knew that Fang Yu didn’t like being the Sect Master; he thought he, being the most outstanding disciple of his generation, would be the successor. However, Fang Yu seemed to completely disregard him, becoming increasingly strict with him.

It was precisely because of this that he had made some mistakes and caught the attention of the Demon Sect, which had grasped his vulnerabilities, forcing him to bargain with the tiger.

Since he had already boarded the thief’s ship, he might as well follow through to the end!

"The Thunderclap Sword is an Immortal Artifact of Utmost Yang and Utmost Rigidity. Due to its immense power, it is sealed in the Purple Cloud Cave and is only brought out for the celebration ceremonies. At that time, the guard of the Thunderclap Sword is at its weakest. If you can find something of Utmost Yin and Utmost Softness, it will be attracted to the Thunderclap Sword. Even from the bottom of the mountain, you could easily steal the Thunderclap Sword."

Lin Yun, having heard everything, silently turned his gaze to Dongfang Hongyue.

Quick, take notes.

Lin Yun felt lucky. Venturing into a small grove with his master allowed him to discover someone’s conspiracy and incidentally learn how to acquire an Immortal Artifact.

Just his luck—he happened to have something of Utmost Yin and Utmost Softness.

The Moon Water Spirit Pearl—is there anything softer than water?

And the moon is also a symbol of Yin.

As for Utmost Yin and Utmost Softness, if the Moon Water Spirit Pearl were second, he wondered what could be first.

If there is, then pretend I never bragged.

Dongfang Hongyue, however, shook her head and said, "Even if the Immortal Artifact were to come, it would be useless. You might as well go tell your cheap master what happened, let her help you eliminate the enemy, and you could even gain her trust."

Dongfang Hongyue was typically not one to covet treasures.

You see, she had searched for countless treasures in her lifetime, but rarely found any to her liking.

Even as the Hierarch, she couldn’t use the Demon Sect’s Magical Artifacts.

Because she cultivated virtues, using Magical Artifacts would damage her accumulated virtues.

As time went by, Dongfang Hongyue became more Buddhist in her approach.

Of course, she eagerly participated in every treasure hunt.

You never know, fortune might come after a streak of bad luck!

To be fair, this time at Moon God Ruins, it was the most frustrating treasure hunt for her.

Next time for sure...

She had naturally heard of Shenxiao Sect’s Thunderclap Sword, a mighty Immortal Artifact with exceptional power to restrain demon creatures, but it had yet to acknowledge a master.

Legend had it that the sword was the personal weapon of Shenxiao Sect’s founder. Such a sword, even the people of Shenxiao Sect couldn’t wield, let alone those from the Demon Sect who schemed to seize it.

So, even if they got their hands on it, it would be of no use. It would be better to let Lin Yun make a merit of it.

Lin Yun thought about it and felt it made sense, but over there, Zhang Xiuya and Little Red Snake had also made their plans.

"Don’t worry, once I get the Thunderclap Sword, I’ll help you kill that Lin Yun."

"Thank you, Elder Green Lotus."

Lin Yun: "..."

Well, it turns out it was an inside job!

Dongfang Hongyue also narrowed her eyes; it turned out to be Green Lotus. Then it’s fine, she just needs to beat her up a bit, and she’ll behave.

With the deal done, Zhang Xiuya put away the little snake and sneaked off.

But Lin Yun wrapped his arms around Dongfang Hongyue, unwilling to let go.

"Stop messing around, I need to find Green Lotus and get him to settle down."

"But it’s so hard for us to meet, I can’t bear to be apart from you."

Dongfang Hongyue was silent. Actually, her coming to meet Lin Yun was quite risky, and after all, as the Demon Sect Leader, she couldn’t always be affectionate with Lin Yun.

The next meeting was indeed uncertain as to when it would be.

"Then... let’s change the location."

"Since you want thrills, let’s go all the way with it. Don’t you have an Illusion Array?"

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

She never should have kissed him that time.

An hour later.

"It’s time for me to go."

Clutching the hem of her dress, Dongfang Hongyue spoke with a trace of girlish shyness.

"I will miss you every day."

"What’s the use of missing me?"

Dongfang Hongyue felt a surge of happiness inside, yet she put on a reluctant face.

"I’ll miss your laughter, your embrace, your red dress, and the scent of your body..."

Lin Yun almost burst into song, but Dongfang Hongyue glared at him crossly and scolded, "Don’t think about such things."

"Then may I think about how you still owe me one time?"

"Impudent disciple!"

Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t hold back and pinched Lin Yun’s ear, pulling at it twice before letting go.

"Cultivate well. Once you break through to the Celestial Knowing Realm, whatever you’ve mentioned, I’ll agree to it." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After speaking, Dongfang Hongyue drifted away.

Lin Yun stood there stunned for a moment, then after realizing what had been said, his smile grew more unseemly...
