The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 100: Why Suddenly Die With Eyes Wide Open?

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Why Suddenly Die With Eyes Wide Open?

The atmosphere deep within the cave was somewhat heavy.

Though Zhang Xiuya confessed, the situation had developed to a point of no return.

Finally, Fang Yu let out a sigh and said, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xiuya also realized his fate, but this time, he had no complaints.

He shook his head and said, "There is something, Fifth Sister didn’t go mad from cultivation; she was poisoned by the Springtime Nap, a gu cultivated by Elder Green Lotus of the Green Lotus Sect. If he takes action, there’s still hope for Fifth Sister."

"Hmm."

A fierce light flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes. Her feud with the Green Lotus Sect had now deepened.

If it had been before, she would’ve only hated Liu Ji for his betrayal. After Liu Ji defected from the sect, he hadn’t done anything outrageous enough for Fang Yu to feel lenient.

But now, blood vengeance had been significantly added to their grudge.

Ma Feng also sighed. He patted Fang Yu’s shoulder in comfort and then left with the Thunderclap Sword.

The other two elders didn’t say anything.

Lin Yun, knowing what was appropriate, prepared to leave, giving the time to the master and disciple. However, Zhang Xiuya suddenly called out to him, "Brother Lin."

"What is it?"

"Nothing much, just some words I wish to speak with you, as I am about to die."

Lin Yun: "..."

Then say it!

However, this time Lin Yun didn’t curse him as a fool but looked at him patiently instead.

"Do not let down my master."

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment. Seeing the look in Zhang Xiuya’s eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning, yet he wondered if he was reading too much into it.

Could it be that he guessed something was off about me?

Lin Yun nodded seriously.

No matter what Zhang Xiuya thought, Lin Yun knew he wasn’t a devil.

Zhang Xiuya smiled, glanced at Fang Yu for the last time, and said, "Apologize to Sister for me, I’ll go down and speak with the other brothers."

With that, Zhang Xiuya severed his heart meridian.

However, he wasn’t completely gone. Cultivators, their bodies may die, but their Divine Soul remains, though as the body perishes, the Divine Soul would lose its anchor and gradually dissipate into the universe.

It was only at this moment that he saw the black mist slowly dissipating from the depth of his soul.

Turns out, he had long been deeply affected by a Heart Demon. Fortunately, with his death today, the demon’s influence had vanished.

Zhang Xiuya looked at Lin Yun with satisfaction. This was a true genius who would surely please his master in the future!

However...

He saw Lin Yun slowly holding Fang Yu in his arms.

What the heck!?

Zhang Xiuya almost came back to life from sheer frustration...

After a moment, Fang Yu finally managed to break free from Lin Yun’s embrace in a fluster.

"I’m sorry, I lost myself."

Logically, as the leader of a sect, Fang Yu shouldn’t show such emotions in front of Lin Yun, but it seemed that Lin Yun had a passive effect that made the high-ups open their hearts. Fang Yu, having lost a disciple and discovering that her disciple had killed several others, harbored an unspeakable sorrow.

Seeing her trying to hold back tears, Lin Yun said, "Cry if you want to. You don’t have to restrain yourself; I can offer you a shoulder."

Then, Fang Yu indeed cried.

Lin Yun had no choice but to pat her back in comfort, didn’t he?

So, it was not an embrace.

Nevertheless, Fang Yu’s face was still flushed with embarrassment.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. This is our secret."

Of course, he couldn’t possibly reveal that Fang Yu had wept in a cave; it wouldn’t benefit her at all.

But speaking of it here made their relationship somewhat closer, and with Lin Yun’s consolation, Fang Yu indeed felt less sorrowful.

"Thank you."

Fang Yu spoke and then looked again at Zhang Xiuya, saying, "Could you please watch over him for me? I’ll be back."

She should go out to take charge of the situation, but it wouldn’t be right to leave Zhang Xiuya’s body here all alone, nor would it be appropriate to take it with her. So she had no choice but to leave Lin Yun to watch over it for now.

Lin Yun nodded, and only then did Fang Yu gather her spirits and walk out.

The cave fell silent once again, and Lin Yun’s mood was somewhat complex.

Actually, he had been pleased to see Zhang Xiuya’s death. After all, the guy had wanted to harm him. While he lived, Lin Yun certainly felt uneasy, but dead, Lin Yun also felt some pangs of sadness.

The path of cultivation was truly filled with untold dangers—one wrong step could lead to a lifetime of regret.

In addition to being cautious of external enemies, one must always reflect on one’s own heart.

After contemplating these thoughts, Lin Yun turned to look at Zhang Xiuya and nearly jumped.

Holy cow, big brother, why have your eyes opened again?

You were so peaceful in death just before!

If he hadn’t seen dead bodies several times before, Lin Yun would have been truly flustered.

However, this was indeed the first time he had been alone in a place with a corpse.

Lin Yun stepped forward and closed Zhang Xiuya’s eyes.

But as soon as he let go, the big eyeballs were staring straight at him again.

Damn, that’s scary.

While Zhang Xiuya was alive, Lin Yun wasn’t afraid of him, but looking into his eyes after his death sent chills down his back.

How did this guy suddenly die with his eyes wide open?

Forget it, don’t mind him.

Lin Yun took out a cloth and covered Zhang Xiuya’s head. Out of sight, out of mind. He then turned his attention back to the cave.

This was the deepest part of Purple Cloud Cave. The walls were covered with stones emitting a purple glow, appearing to be Spirit Stones.

It truly befits a major sect to display such extravagance, even using Spirit Stones as decoration.

Thinking of Dongfang Hongyue, sigh...

If the wife is too poor, then he just has to work harder himself.

Come to think of it, the Flower Fairy seems to be quite wealthy...

Lin Yun shook his head, tossing out thoughts like "I’ll find a rich lady to support you" from his mind and started observing other areas of the cave.

It was rather boring anyway.

The layout of the cave was very simple, without any superfluous things.

Soon, Lin Yun found a hole.

It was probably made by the Thunderclap Sword, slightly narrow and elongated—uh, the shape was a bit delicate.

Lin Yun forcibly shut off his LSP (Love of Special Phenomena) vision and began to observe the hole.

For some reason, he felt that there was something beneath the hole.

Just as he was about to stick his hand in and dig around, he suddenly felt that it would be even more inappropriate, so he restrained himself from tampering with it.

Better wait for now!

Lin Yun did not doubt his intuition; a cultivator’s intuition is said to be particularly sharp.

Thus, there could be some fate with this place for him.

Just like the Moon Water Spirit Pearl at the bottom of Yellow Wind Valley.

However, with so many opportunities, Lin Yun was not so eager.

If there’s really fate, shouldn’t the treasure jump into my hands?

If there’s no clue now, it means the destiny has not arrived—no need to force it.

Someone, who spent their whole life and never found any treasure, felt this was very frustrating.

While Lin Yun waited in the cave, the situation outside had quickly dissipated.

The Shenxiao Sect did not hold much hope of recovering the Sword Spirit; they did everything they could.

The Thunderclap Sword was still there, which would attract the Sword Spirit, as the two were inherently one. They did not know what method the thief used to separate the Sword Spirit from the sword, but they could not sever the connection between the sword and the Sword Spirit.

Only a Divine Artifact could match the quality of an Immortal Sword like the Thunderclap Sword.

Lin Yun: What a coincidence, isn’t this...
