The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 166: The Organization Needs Talent Like You (4th Update)

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: The Organization Needs Talent Like You (4th Update)

"Master, are you alright now?"

Lin Yun looked the picture of a filial disciple, while Green Lotus said indifferently, "As a master, I have always been cautious in my actions, they cannot find me. However, I can no longer set foot in the Central Plains. How could I be content just leaving like this!"

Oh, having left the Central Plains, there are only three places he could go: Miaojiang, Northern Desert, Demon Tribe.

Previously, Green Lotus had told him it was the Northern Desert, so now one incorrect answer could be ruled out.

Miaojiang is too small and not very safe. Now that Green Lotus has provoked both Righteous and Demonic paths, Miaojiang probably couldn’t protect him. So, it is most likely that Green Lotus has gone to the Demon Tribe.

Lin Yun speculated in his heart while asking, "What exactly happened here? They don’t believe that there’s an insider traitor in Shenxiao Sect?"

"Just a little more!"

When it came to this, Green Lotus was also very annoyed and said angrily, "This time our opponent had the smarter strategy; I didn’t expect them to directly use Sword Spirit to frame me. Compared to that, even if they could find a secret tunnel in Elder Hu’s room, it would not prove anything."

Green Lotus realized that he had been set up. He was in the light, while the enemy was hidden in the dark, holding more damaging information. On the contrary, the fact that he could initiate an investigation against an elder based solely on his word was already the limit. And that was because Liu Ji trusted him.

Green Lotus also felt some shame. This time, he had indeed let Liu Ji down.

But for Liu Ji to say he would personally take his head, that was unacceptable.

Sect Hierarch, can’t you be a bit more vigilant?

You believe such an obvious frame-up?

Perhaps, that’s just a Sword Cultivator for you.

Sword Cultivators’ Sword Dao usually involves constant striking, maintaining their own sharp Sword Heart, accustomed to the style of breaking through with a single sword, thus not liking to use their heads much.

"So, what should we do next?"

Lin Yun pretended to be rather clueless, needing guidance in everything, as this was the way to put Green Lotus at ease.

"Simple. I want you to secretly investigate Hu Yuling, gather useful evidence. When the time comes, I will make a powerful comeback with the force of a Thunderbolt, giving you three years to do this."

Green Lotus decided to lay low and slip away for three years to see how things would unfold. If Lin Yun could find any leads, he would come back; if not, he would spend some time lying low among the Demon Tribe. After all, it didn’t matter where he was; cultivation was cultivation!

"Don’t worry, Master. I will definitely complete the task well!"

Lin Yun was frankly ecstatic. Three years—with his cultivation speed, perhaps he could reach the highest realm in three years’ time. Even if not, he should be close to resolving the Azure Dragon Gu Worm’s hidden danger.

After ending his connection with Green Lotus, Lin Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan. Green Lotus was forced to leave and wouldn’t be able to cause trouble for a while, giving Lin Yun time to enhance his cultivation level. And with the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit disappearing in front of everyone, it made the Shenxiao Sect give up on punishing the Green Lotus Sect.

Both sides exercised considerable restraint when it came to the use of force.

The matter was concluded. Lin Yun had gotten rid of a big problem and gained a new ’employee’, truly a huge windfall.

As for the insider traitor and the hidden hand behind the scenes...

If I don’t cause trouble next time, I should be fine right?

"Thud thud..."

The door to his room was suddenly knocked on—truly not a moment’s rest. He had just started reading about the special uses of a mysterious incense that could leave even cultivators muddled and infatuated; Lin Yun had yet to see the rest, being interrupted repeatedly. Who could it be this time?

Lin Yun went over to open the door, and standing outside was Hu Yuling, a woman with ample bosom.

"Uncle Hu?"

Lin Yun was somewhat puzzled—why would Hu Yuling come to him at this time?

Hu Yuling was also feeling complex emotions. Besides Lin Yun, she couldn’t think of anyone else who knew her secret.

But the timing of that Golden Thunderbolt’s appearance was too perfect, making Hu Yuling realize some truths.

Turns out, the Golden Thunderbolt had long been in Lin Yun’s hands. Whether it was her, Fang Yu, or Green Lotus, they were all but pawns in Lin Yun’s game.

This person truly instills fear in others.

Hu Yuling also couldn’t help but ponder the deeper implications.

Lin Yun must have used the Green Lotus Sect to let her know that he was aware of everything about her.

But he kept silent.

Otherwise, why would he only mention the existence of a secret passage and not how to enter it or what secrets truly lay beneath?

It seems that Lin Yun, knowing of the secret passage’s existence and her identity, must have some inkling even if he doesn’t know the specific details of the organization.

His silence on one hand shows he doesn’t want to completely fall out with her, but it also proves that he wants to maintain a controlling position in this cooperative relationship.

According to Hu Yuling’s temperament, she does not like being threatened, but she currently has no other choice and thus had to come.

As for Lin Yun’s motives, she had some guesses.

Lin Yun might have come for the treasures possibly hidden within Purple Cloud Cave.

That day when Lin Yun talked with the Flower Fairy about this, looking back now, Lin Yun had already given hints then!

This is a master player.

"Uncle Hu, do you have something you need from me?"

Seeing that Hu Yuling was silent, Lin Yun asked again. Hu Yuling then came back to her senses and knew that Lin Yun was still playing the role of a new disciple, so she had to cooperate, "It’s about your mother’s health, I have all the medicinal ingredients, but there’s one key catalyst missing."

Hu Yuling decided to continue implementing her previous plan to get Lin Yun to leave the mountain.

But the plan had to be slightly altered.

If she couldn’t draw Lin Yun into her organization, she would eliminate him.

A person who could threaten her couldn’t be left alive.

But Hu Yuling didn’t have full confidence she could handle Lin Yun on her own, so she would have to let the boss take action.

With his Divine Skills and cultivation level, he could definitely take down Lin Yun without anyone noticing.

"What is the catalyst?"

"Phantom Herb, this herb is only found in the Grass Valley to the southeast. I won’t be able to leave the mountain these next few days, so I can only trouble you to go,"

"Uncle Hu is too polite. I heard that Demonic Cult Fiends have framed Uncle Hu as an insider traitor and you have been dealing with this matter recently. Amidst your busy schedule, you still think of the medicine, and I really don’t know how to repay you."

Lin Yun was genuinely touched inside. Elder Hu truly was a good person!

The people of Shenxiao Sect really were so kind, true representatives of the wide-hearted and righteous path, far better than the likes of Sword Sect—Shenxiao Sect was just too wonderful.

Lin Yun thanked him sincerely from the bottom of his heart, while Hu Yuling continued to probe, "Don’t be polite, in fact, we are probably of a similar kind. It’s only right for us to help each other."

Hu Yuling was hinting at Lin Yun’s identity as part of the Demon Race.

We are all from the Demon Race, so let’s not hurt each other. The organization really needs somebody with your exceptional talents.

Hearing Hu Yuling’s words, Lin Yun thought to himself how modest she was.

What could he possibly do to help Hu Yuling? It was she who was helping him, pure and simple.

The saying ’of the same kind’, did Hu Yuling think he was gentle and warm-hearted?

That really made Lin Yun feel ashamed.

"Uncle Hu flatters me, I am fully aware of my limited ability at present and wouldn’t dare to speak of reciprocation. However, I will certainly bear Uncle Hu’s kindness in my heart," Lin Yun said.

Hu Yuling: "..."

So, you’ve said all that before, why did you betray me?
