The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 139 Inside the Rainbow Hall (2nd Update)

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Inside the Rainbow Hall (2nd Update)

The grand hall of the Sword Sect is named Rainbow Hall, and the founding Sect Leader of the Sword Sect bore the title of Rainbow Sword Saint, whose sword light was like a rainbow, overpowering his contemporaries. To honor the ancestor, later generations built the Rainbow Hall.

Upon seeing the plaque of the Rainbow Hall, the background music encoded in Lin Yun’s DNA started to play.

"Men have..."

Stop, turn the sound down, now is not the time for music.

Following Hu Yuling into the grand hall, Lin Yun was surrounded by many high-ranking figures but didn’t feel intimidated at all.

After all, in just a few short months, he had suppressed the Demon Lord, set fire to the Demon Dragon, ridden the Demon King, and deceived the Saintess. Having done so much, being watched by the bigshots of the Sword Sect wasn’t a big deal anymore.

It was Hu Yuling who first paid her respects to Baili Liuyun, seated at the center, with a bow, saying, "I’ve seen the Venerable one."

A Venerable could be regarded as such through strength, position, or the combination of both, such as the three Great Demons.

Although the Sword Sect Leader’s cultivation level was slightly lower, as the head of a sect, he was entitled to be addressed as Venerable. Of course, others would call him Venerable but not Sword Venerable.

Because in the realm of the sword, he was not yet worthy of such reverence.

Although Hu Yuling’s cultivation level was higher than Baili Liuyun’s, she was merely an elder of the Shenxiao Sect, and since the Sword Sect was one of the seven major sects, it was like the second-in-command of a developed area visiting the leader of a less developed area—her status was a notch lower.

But Baili Liuyun didn’t dare to act arrogantly. After Hu Yuling paid her respects, he quickly said, "Elder Hu need not be so formal, please take a seat."

A maidservant immediately brought over two chairs, these were for Hu Yuling and Zhao Lingyu.

Lin Yun could only stand behind Hu Yuling.

In the grand hall, only the elders of the Sword Sect were entitled to sit.

Ming Xin was among them. Seeing Lin Yu, he waved and said, "Yu’er."

Lin Yu understood and stood behind him.

The many elders of the Sword Sect, including Sect Leader Baili Liuyun and his wife, Mu Yunyan, all glanced at Lin Yu.

Their feelings towards this most unique disciple of the Sword Sect were quite complex.

However, those present didn’t say much.

The guest of honor today was Hu Yuling.

Standing behind Hu Yuling, Lin Yun could still see her curves from his angle and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly that Purple Cloud Mountain really was a good place to nurture people.

If only Dongfang Hongyue could stay there for a while.

"Elder Hu, I remember when we last parted, it has been fifty years. Now, the elder appears even more graceful than before, truly enviable."

After everyone took their places, Sect Leader’s Wife Mu Yunyan began to make small talk with Hu Yuling. It was suitable for her, a woman, to compliment Yu and warm up the atmosphere.

If another male elder had praised Hu Yuling, it would have seemed frivolous.

Hu Yuling did not have much of a relationship with Mu Yunyan. The so-called parting fifty years ago was just an acquaintance from interactions between sects.

"The Sect Leader’s Wife jests. In these past decades, my cultivation level has not advanced much. The path to the Enlightened Realm is still too difficult."

Mu Yunyan: "..."

This was a statement that couldn’t be followed.

Because Baili Liuyun, the highest in cultivation in the Sword Sect, had yet to glimpse the path of destiny, which is to reach the Enlightened Realm.

Now, by saying that she’s not making much progress in the Enlightened Realm, Hu Yuling appeared humble, but in reality, it was a slap in the face.

Listening to this, Lin Yun wanted to laugh and his favor towards Hu Yuling greatly increased.

To tell the truth, Hu Yuling didn’t expect to be gaining Lin Yun’s favor; she just found it amusing.

Especially when seeing Baili Liuyun looking angry but unable to do anything about her, which was extremely interesting.

Baili Liuyun could only force a laugh, saying, "Elder Hu is truly modest."

After saying this, as if afraid Hu Yuling would say something else to undermine him, Baili Liuyun quickly asked, "May I know the purpose of Elder Hu’s visit today?"

"Are we discussing serious matters this soon?"

"Aren’t we going to chat a bit longer?"

Lin Yun still wanted to watch the game, but since Baili Liuyun had asked a question, Hu Yuling did not dilly-dally and said directly, "I’m here today, actually for Lin Yun."

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Lin Yun.

Hu Yuling remembered the instructions Fang Yu gave her before she left.

"On this trip, do not cause any trouble at all costs, and if trouble does arise, be sure to ensure Lin Yun’s safety."

With Hu Yuling’s cultivation level, it’s not about sweeping the Sword Sect alone, but rather, taking Lin Yun and leaving with ease posed no problem whatsoever.

In the worst-case scenario, they would simply have to fight, but if they could avoid fighting and conflict, that would be even better.

Fang Yu was also aware that it was a troubling time, with the Taiqing Daoist Temple issuing a warning of a killing calamity. Being at the Enlightened Realm herself, she also had a vague feeling about it.

Her fate star was flickering, giving her a warning, but even she could not see her specific future—fortune and misfortune were difficult to predict, so avoiding trouble was the best course.

But since Hu Yuling had come, how could she not cause trouble?

"You might have heard that some time ago, in the Moon God Ruins, Lin Yun obtained one of the Moon God’s Relics."

Upon hearing this, some Elders who were unaware showed a look of shock. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

They had heard that a youth had taken a treasure and then handed it over to the Demon Sect, but they had never imagined it was this very youth before them.

Hu Yuling continued, "At that time, the Demon Lord from the Green Lotus Sect wanted to forcibly take Lin Yun as a disciple, which Lin Yun of course refused. Our Sect Leader admired his talent and commitment, and thus took him as a disciple. At the time, under the pressure of the Demon Sect, Lin Yun had no choice but to join our Sect Leader, only to find out later that Lin Yun was actually a disciple of your esteemed sect, who had infiltrated the Demon Sect, and only returned after his cover was blown."

Upon hearing this, Baili Liuyun was stunned.

He was actually present that day and saw everything that Hu Yuling described, yet...

He truly hadn’t expected Lin Yun to be a disciple of his own sect.

Liu Ji was a Sword Venerable, and currently in the world of swordsmanship, he was acknowledged as the unparalleled number one, with none daring to dispute this.

Those who objected feared that Liu Ji would come knocking at their door to cross swords, which would be a terrifying prospect.

For someone like him, who had reached the pinnacle of the Sword Dao, to want to take Lin Yun as a disciple indicated just how extraordinary Lin Yun’s talents were.

That day, Baili Liuyun was also tempted, and if not for being unable to defeat Liu Ji, he too would have wanted to snatch this disciple.

And now, he found out that Lin Yun was originally a disciple of his own sect.

Could there be such good fortune?

But after the initial joy, he was confused.

If Lin Yun was a disciple of his own sect, why would he become an undercover agent for the Demon Sect?

Such an outstanding prospect should be nurtured carefully, not sent to the Demon Sect, where he might be corrupted, right?

The Demon Sect’s seductresses were formidable indeed!

Some of the Elders looked at each other, while Ming Xi appeared distinctly uncomfortable.

No one expected that Lin Yun would return in such a dramatic fashion.

And now with a top-notch external ally, this was problematic!

Mu Yunyan was the first to react. She quickly got up and said to Hu Yuling, "I had no idea so much had happened. Thank you for your sect’s help towards our disciple and for sending Lin Yun back. In the coming days, Yun and I will certainly visit to express our gratitude."

Baili Liuyun looked at his wife with satisfaction. Well said!

Now wasn’t the time to discuss why Lin Yun had gone undercover; resolving the current situation was most important.

Hearing these words, Hu Yuling couldn’t help but find it amusing.

What wishful thinking. Since when can a disciple sent away ever return?
