The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 243 - 242 Heaven-Slaying Lone Star

Atop the city wall, Yuquan saw Lin Yu donning a purple ribbon immortal robe.

The purple ribbon immortal robe was a garment of the Shenxiao Sect, owned only by highly esteemed elders.

Since when did the Shenxiao Sect have an additional elder?

Yuquan, who spent most of his years secluded in the mountains, was rather cut off from news and had not heard of Lin Yu’s great reputation.

However, he recognized the clothing.

Moreover, the murderous aura on Lin Yu’s face was very much in line with the characteristics of the Shenxiao Sect.

"I have met a fellow Taoist, but I wonder why you have come here to reinforce us? With my humble power, it is enough to defend. You might as well go where you are needed more," Yuquan said.

Lin Yu calmly bowed his hands and explained, "I am not here to help the Taoist defend, but rather to take the initiative alongside you. The northern defense line is too long, the initiative is all in the hands of the bandits. If we continue this stalemate, we will surely weaken day by day. It would be better to strike now while our morale is high, and teach the bandits a lesson."

Yuquan: "..."

It was truly the Shenxiao Sect’s style, indeed quite hot-tempered.

However, this seemed too impulsive.

But since Lin Yu had arrived, it must have been discussed at a meeting by the seven heads of the Righteous Path. Yuquan could imagine that it was probably Fang Yu who convinced the others, to regard life and death lightly, and to fight if they do not submit.

Yuquan also felt a surge of passion rise in his heart; he had been quite furious at the enemy’s recent border transgressions.

But having aged, his thoughts were more stable, and he said, "The Great Desert also has experts, just the two of us may not be enough.

"It doesn’t matter, the Red Lotus Demon Lord will be here soon. I just used the Wind-Thunder Escape Technique to get here faster, just to let the Taoist know in advance," Lin Yu assured.

Yuquan: "..."

Hearing about the Red Lotus Demon Lord, Yuquan was reminded of the time he was shown up by the Demon Lord, flaunting tricks right in his face.

The youth had no respect for martial virtue, used all sorts of flashy techniques to ambush and deceive in their fight, an elder like him.

Back then they were enemies, engaging in a fight to the death, and now they were going to fight side by side. Reflecting on it was awkward indeed.

Why of the three Demon Lords of the Demon Sect, was it Dongfang Hongyue who had come?

However, since he was here, Yuquan, as a person of high attainment in the Dao, felt it would be petty to make too much of a fuss, so he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "In that case, I shall go and make preparations first."

"Please go ahead, Taoist," Lin Yu urged.

Yuquan felt rather good about Lin Yu; this fellow Taoist was quite polite!

Descending from the city wall with Zhenren, Yuquan left Lin Yu to take his place, watching over the vast grassland, his heart ached once again.

It had been a month since Lin Yun disappeared.

For the first half of the month, she had waited at Cloud Rain Rock, and also notified the Shenxiao Sect, mobilizing the Sect’s power to search for Lin Yun, but after half a month, there was no news of Lin Yun.

No news can sometimes be good news, but after various investigations, she had also learned some secrets.

Like the Ghost Fog Forest within the Misty Forest, where the Great Mist claimed any living being that entered, leaving them to vanish without a trace.

Apart from the Ghost Fog Forest, other places occasionally experienced the phenomenon of ghost fog, though not as permanently as the Ghost Fog Forest. To this day, none who had entered the fog had returned alive.

At this time, with the Demon Tribe launching a major offensive, and bandits encroaching from the north, Lin Yu had no choice but to join the war.

As a human, it was her bounden duty.

Later, she joined the Shenxiao Sect. Fang Yu promoted her to elder directly and passed on all the Shenxiao Sect’s techniques to her, then sent her to the Southern Battlefield.

In her first battle, she had slain three Demon Kings, greatly boosting the morale of the Human Race. Lin Yu also found that only in battle could she calm down and stop thinking about Lin Yun.

The mere thought of Lin Yun filled her heart with guilt.

If it hadn’t been for her going into the fog, Lin Yun wouldn’t have chased after her and been drawn into the ghost fog.

Regret was futile now; it only made her heart ache as if cut by a knife.

She was annoyed with herself, wishing she had been taken by the ghost fog along with Lin Yun, which seemed better than being left alone to grieve.

Lin Yu stroked her forehead, where now there was nothing but skin as white as jade, but when she began to fight, her blood would start boiling, and her strength would suddenly increase several folds, and a "king" character would emerge on her forehead.

Lin Yu also remembered that day when, to grasp the whereabouts of Lin Yun, she had sought the assistance of Yuxuan, the wisest sage in the world. Yuxuan calculated for a long time but could not discern Lin Yun’s movements, only speculating that he might no longer be of this world.

At that time, Lin Yu had been heartbroken. In an attempt to comfort her, the old Taoist said, "The calculations about Lin Yun might not be accurate. Why don’t I try to predict your fate? Since the two of you are deeply connected, there must be some ties. Maybe we could find Lin Yun as well."

So he calculated, and only eight characters were obtained.

"White Tiger Fierce God, Heaven-Slaying Lone Star."

This was almost tantamount to sentencing Lin Yun to death. Lin Yu had forgotten how she left the Taiqing Daoist Temple. All she remembered was being in a daze at the time, and afterward, she had awakened to this power.

"Perhaps, the reason I am still alive is for this war!"

Lin Yun was gone, but she still had things she must do.

After this battle was over, she would search for Lin Yun to the ends of the earth.

"Are you still worrying about Lin Yun?"

Suddenly, a woman’s voice appeared behind her. It was Dongfang Hongyue, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time. Lin Yu had been lost in her memories and had not noticed her approach.

Fortunately, Dongfang Hongyue bore no ill will.

"You needn’t trouble yourself."

Lin Yu had no fond feelings for Dongfang Hongyue, who couldn’t help but feel wronged in her heart.

This old lady is really difficult to get along with.

She just didn’t want to see her distressed and only meant to offer a word of comfort.

Although she couldn’t contact Lin Yun now, she believed that Lin Yun must be alright.

Good people do not live long; miscreants survive a thousand years. With Lin Yun’s cunning, he definitely wouldn’t die.

"I’m not concerned about you but the impending battle. I don’t want you to drag us down."

"Don’t worry, just take care of yourself."

Lin Yu said coldly.

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

Forget it, I, the Demon Lord, will not bother with you anymore.

"This Lin Yu looks unfamiliar, do you know anything about her?"

Yuquan, who was reviewing the troops, chatted casually with Zhenren.

"I... should probably say I do!"

"Tell me about it, what’s her age, and what are her accomplishments in battle."

Yuquan realized he had been out of touch with the world for too long, not even having seen the new Elder of the Shenxiao Sect. He needed to change that; he couldn’t remain secluded in the mountains all the time.

"She... is of the same generation as my disciples, probably not over a hundred years old. Thirty years ago, she was one of the strongest among the younger generation, known alongside the Flower Fairy as the ’peerless double pride’."

Yuquan: "???"

Are the young people of today really so formidable?

He originally thought that Dongfang Hongyue, already impressive at three hundred years old, was exceptionally strong, but now here was another, not even a hundred years old.

This this this...

"Why are you of the same generation as her, yet her cultivation level is unfathomably deep, and you’re still in the Heart Guarding Realm? You need to reflect on this!"

Zhenren: "..."

This is also my fault?
