The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 145: With the Help of the Demon Lord, This Wave is Stable (8th Update)

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: With the Help of the Demon Lord, This Wave is Stable (8th Update)

Baili Liuyun simply explained the cause and consequences to Dongfang Hongyue, and it was only then that Dongfang Hongyue learned that Lin Yun was actually from the Orthodox Sects all along.

And now, he intended to betray his sect, and Dongfang Hongyue expressed utmost understanding.

With such talent to be taken as a disciple, yet to be cast out without being taught anything, wouldn’t you say this is jealousy and envy of his abilities?

Nobody would believe otherwise!

"How absurd."

Dongfang Hongyue sneered, her mind quickly turning as she said, "I do have a method that can solve this trouble and also prevent any conflict between your Sword Sect and Shenxiao Sect."

"Please speak, Lord Dongfang."

"The method is quite simple. Since Lin Yun claims to have exceptional talent, why not have a disciple from the Sword Sect duel him? As a genius, he should be able to fight across levels without issue."

Baili Liuyun immediately understood Dongfang Hongyue’s intent—she was scheming to have someone else do the dirty work!

On that day, she had promised the Flower Fairy she would not make things difficult for Lin Yun, but if she didn’t act personally and let someone else do it, wouldn’t that work just fine?

This aligned perfectly with Baili Liuyun’s own thoughts; he must kill Lin Yun.

The boy’s talents were indeed terrifying.

Having made an enemy of him, there was no turning back.

As for Lin Yun fighting across levels... 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Having lived for so many years, he had truly never seen anyone who could do so after reaching the Mortal Transcendence Realm, unless they possessed a Divine Artifact.

No matter how talented Lin Yun was, the difference between realms was like that of clouds and mud.

With Dongfang Hongyue’s support, Hu Yuling wouldn’t be able to stir up any more trouble. Either she would agree, letting Lin Yun die on the stage, or refuse, and that would be a slight to Dongfang Hongyue, who could then keep her in check while other members of the Sword Sect easily dealt with Lin Yun.

"What do you think, Elder Hu?"

Baili Liuyun looked supremely confident, unaware that he had already gone too far.

Those capable of fighting across levels were few, but Lin Yun was one of them.

His physique was somewhat peculiar and his Divine Soul astonishingly powerful; previously, even Hongling had failed to trouble him.

Dongfang Hongyue was confident in this and thus she made the suggestion.

Even stepping ten thousand paces back, if Lin Yun really couldn’t win, with her as the judge, he couldn’t lose.

Conveniently, Hu Yuling also felt that Lin Yun was sure to win, but she did not immediately agree. Instead, she looked towards Lin Yun and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Yun glanced at Dongfang Hongyue, instantly understanding her intention. He didn’t agree right away but instead made a request, "If I win, Sect Master Baili, you must admit to the Sword Sect’s jealousy and envy of the talented, and both Lin Yu and I will no longer be disciples of the Sword Sect, how about that?"

Upon hearing Lin Yun so readily agree to the bet and even including her in the bargain, Lin Yu couldn’t help but worry for Lin Yun.

She had also walked the path of cultivation; when she was at the Qi Cultivation stage, she had defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators, but after Mortal Transcendence, facing Divine Cultivation cultivators, she stood no chance.

Even geniuses have their limits, right?

Could Lin Yun really do it?

Moreover, what particularly mattered to Lin Yu was that even at this juncture, Lin Yun still wouldn’t call her mother, even addressing her by her name—it was the act of a rebellious son!

Yet, knowing that every time Lin Yun had stood protectively in front of her, Lin Yu felt deeply touched inside.

Even though Lin Yun had forgotten her, he had fulfilled his initial promise.

Upon hearing the conditions laid out by Lin Yun, Baili Liuyun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Dongfang Hongyue agreed for him first.

"I think it’s acceptable. If you can defeat a disciple who has been diligently cultivating within the Sect by just cultivating outside for a few years, this really does prove that the Sword Sect lacks discernment in recognizing talent. Sect Master Baili, what do you think?"

Baili Liuyun: "..."

Do you think I can refuse?

"You are quite bold, but once you step into the arena, life and death will not be considered. If you admit your mistake now, I can still spare your life."

Baili Liuyun said righteously, but in reality, he was also closing off Lin Yun’s path to retreat. Looking at Lin Yun’s proud demeanor, how could he possibly admit he was wrong?

This statement was just for show; when it spread later, there would be an explanation. At least he had warned Lin Yun. If Lin Yun persisted stubbornly, then it was his own death wish, and he couldn’t blame anyone else.

"Very well, I do enjoy battles indifferent to life and death,"

Lin Yun agreed straightforwardly to the conditions for the life-and-death fight, making Baili Liuyun think it was a profitable move. Killing Lin Yun on the platform would leave even the Shenxiao Sect with nothing to say.

At this moment, several disciples of the Sword Sect also carried over the compensation for Dongfang Hongyue, two large chests filled with high-grade Spirit Stones.

These two chests of Spirit Stones were the Sword Sect’s preparatory apology for when Dongfang Hongyue hurriedly passed through on her travels.

"These Spirit Stones are not enough. Since Lin Yun is a disciple of your Sword Sect, when he escaped from my Sunblaze Mountain, it was your Sword Sect disciple who saved him and blew up the palace I had worked hard to build. By rights, you should compensate for that."

Baili Liuyun: "..."

Why should I pay for saving a traitor?

"Lord Dongfang, the Sword Sect is a poor place, and this is already all of our belongings,"

Baili Liuyun attempted to haggle with Dongfang Hongyue, clearly misunderstanding his opponent.

For a Sect Hierarch so poor that they even considered going out to work to earn money, everything could be negotiated, except for shortchanging on money.

Moreover, the area where the Sword Sect was located had the most Spirit Mines. The Sword Sect had inherited its legacy for so many years, and even if it had declined, in terms of wealth, it could still rank in the top three among all the Sects under the heavens.

And they still claimed to be poor?

"Sect Master Baili, I did not quibble over many things when you destroyed my palace, and that was taking into account that we are both of the Human Race. If you really are unwilling, then I might as well burn down your Rainbow Hall to offset my debt!"

Dongfang Hongyue spoke and was ready to act. Having acquired the Fire Lotus, Baili Liuyun no longer dared to bargain and had to order someone to make the arrangements.

Dongfang Hongyue was overjoyed. Originally she thought that getting two chests of Spirit Stones was good, but now she could have double that amount, which indeed was double the happiness.

Seeing Dongfang Hongyue taken care of, Baili Liuyun redirected his focus back to the matter of the duel.

This time, he decided to send his own son into battle.

Of course, it wasn’t Baili Shouxin; he was already in the Heart Guarding Realm, and it wouldn’t be quite right for him to bully Lin Yun.

He intended to send his youngest son, Baili Shouce, who, although in the Divine Cultivation Realm, was already very close to the Heart Guarding Realm.

Everyone then moved outside the grand hall. The Sword Sect had an arena specially used for duels, and Sword Sect held contests there every year, in their Martial Arts Plaza.

In secret, Baili Liuyun transmitted a message to Baili Shouce: "Do not show mercy, kill."

Baili Shouce nodded and stepped onto the platform.

Many disciples who didn’t know the true circumstances also gathered around to watch the excitement, not understanding why there was suddenly a contest.

Baili Liuyun then summoned four swords, sealing off the four corners of the arena.

This was to limit Lin Yun’s range of movement to within the arena.

Baili Shouce was not skilled in assault tactics, but in the arena, his combat power was extremely strong.

This round was certainly a sure win!
