The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 48: The Bankrupt Demon Lord

Dongfang Hongyue quickly discerned Lin Yun’s subtle intentions. This fellow’s hand was wrapped around her waist, and his body was pressed against hers—it was clear that he was taking advantage of her.

Traitor!

Does your master have no dignity?

Hmm, but why does it feel so comfortable to be held, and why is my mood so pleasant?

"You step back, your master will avenge you."

Dongfang Hongyue pushed Lin Yun away with great willpower. For some reason, Lin Yun’s allure seemed stronger now, and if he held her any longer, she might not be able to control herself.

To steady her mind, she had no choice but to focus on the big dog that she had just kicked flying.

While chasing Lin Yun, Gouzi was of course full of confidence, but upon seeing Dongfang Hongyue appear, it knew it was no match for her.

This woman harbored a tremendous energy within her—an energy that was particularly terrifying. Its tail was tucked tightly, yet it still bared its teeth at Dongfang Hongyue as a threat.

However, it was a smart dog.

It was almost dawn. If it could just hold on until sunrise, the power of the abyss would pull it back into the depths, and the man and woman before it could do nothing to harm it.

"This dog is a bit strange. As a demon creature, it has quite high spiritual intelligence."

"Yeah, if it weren’t smart, we’d all be wiped out by now."

This time, if it had made any mistake, it would have been difficult for Lin Yun and the rest to have survived this long.

Having spells but not using them early, preferring to dig holes and frolic about, leading to Dongfang Hongyue’s support arriving.

Lin Yun even wondered whether he had activated a ’stupidity aura,’ but on second thought, with Erha’s intelligence, it probably didn’t need to be lowered by him.

"Humans, don’t go too far!"

Not to mention stabbing it with a weapon, but to also mock its intelligence—no one should bully a dog like this.

"It can even speak, how about we catch it and keep it as a pet? Indeed, our sect doesn’t have any prestigious spirit beasts."

"This dog likes to destroy things and isn’t a bright pup—I suggest we cook it in a spicy and savory stew."

Lin Yun made a suggestion from the side, startling the dog.

It’s always been demon creatures eating humans, yet today there was someone who wanted to eat a demon creature.

Has this world gone mad?

And how come it’s being accused of destroying things?

"This is slander! I have never destroyed anything!"

"So you mean you’ll willingly be a pet?"

Dongfang Hongyue said with a smile, "Then from now on, you’ll be called Little Blackie."

These two were truly birds of a feather.

Though their tactics ran deep, it sensed the call of the abyss.

It wasn’t yet dawn, but Venus had already lit up.

It was time to go back.

"Haha, humans, you underestimate our Demon Race. The Demon Race will never be enslaved!"

With a roar of rage, the demon creature that had become Erha began to transform right there in the tunnel.

The small dog form wasn’t its battle state; the true form of a demon creature was the strongest.

Even transforming in the tunnel, it could break through by using its robust body.

Uh, then why didn’t it transform into a small size and rush into the tunnel sooner?

Gouzi suddenly realized this point and mentally collapsed.

But at that moment, Dongfang Hongyue kicked it out of the tunnel with one foot. She had dug that tunnel for a long time and couldn’t let it be destroyed just like that.

Lin Yun was right; this demon creature indeed loved to destroy things.

No keeping it.

"Haha, you’ve fallen for my trick. I will come back! When I dominate the world, I will bite you to death!"

Kicked away by Dongfang Hongyue, Gouzi left a fierce threat behind. Responding to the call of the abyss, it was about to return.

However, a fiery meteor accurately hit it, giving it a free ride.

Alright, it could now return to its most primal state.

Despair filled Gouzi’s heart, yet what made it even more despairing was that this golden-red fire burned even its essence...

"No one can threaten me and live."

Dongfang Hongyue snapped her fingers with a cool air about her.

She, as a person, had always acted prudently, disliking trouble. The best way to eliminate trouble was to nip it in the bud.

"Master is invincible!"

Lin Yun fawned over Dongfang Hongyue with an obsequious flattery, to which Dongfang Hongyue responded with a faint smile, oozing with an air of forceful composure.

At that moment, Hongling also led a group of people down to the secret passage. Seeing Hongling, and the large crowd behind her, Dongfang Hongyue’s expression froze.

When she had received Hongling’s message, too much time had already passed. Such spell-based communication was quick but not durable. Dongfang Hongyue had been holding a meeting for so long that she only knew something happened but couldn’t contact Hongling, and thus she hurried over to this place.

There were only about two or three thousand people in Yellow Wind Valley, but there were so many people here now... Yellow Wind Valley...

Thinking of the constant twitching of her eyelids recently, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you all here? What about Yellow Wind Valley?"

"It was stamped out of existence by that big dog."

"And what about the assets I had stored there?"

"We didn’t have time to take them."

Hongling said with a face full of shame.

She had been ordered to guard Yellow Wind Valley, but she hadn’t expected to fail to protect anything.

Although she had managed to lead these people out, the money was gone.

The spirit stones were gone as well.

The Yellow Wind Valley Mine had rich mineral deposits and was also a secret base for Dongfang Hongyue, where many of her assets were hidden.

After all, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t find a more secretive place.

Even if she encountered any mishaps in the Red Lotus Sect, as long as she was alive, she could rise from the ashes with the resources from Yellow Wind Valley.

"There’s no need to panic."

Dongfang Hongyue concentrated and sensed something; her ease of locating Yellow Wind Valley and her ability to not get lost in the Land of Death was precisely because she could sense a certain presence.

However...

This time, she couldn’t sense it anymore.

This was a big problem.

"We can find our way back to the original location by following the collapsed secret passage."

Dongfang Hongyue thought of the last solution. However, along the way they had taken, the demonic hound had howled each time, its cries stirring up the sandstorm, so the path they had taken was already buried by the wind and sand.

Even Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t find the way back. Surrounded by an expanse of yellow sand, Dongfang Hongyue looked around and realized she couldn’t find the way back to Yellow Wind Valley. Her mindset collapsed right then.

"Sect Hierarch..."

"Let’s go back."

Dongfang Hongyue waved her hand weakly, the agony of bankruptcy causing her heart to bleed, but life has to move forward.

At least all those who followed her had survived.

Thinking of how to settle them and keep her secrets, Dongfang Hongyue was torn apart again.

The money was gone, but the troubles remained.

Returning to her chambers, Dongfang Hongyue was still reclusive.

The last time she felt this reclusive was about half a month ago.

That was when Sunblaze Palace was burned down.

Going bankrupt twice in a short period of time had added insult to injury for the already not-so-rich Dongfang Hongyue.

It was painful; she wanted to cry.

But the proud Demon Lord didn’t believe in tears.

But what to do without money?

Was she, the Demon Lord, going to have to start working?

"Alas."

Life is hard, the Demon Lord sighed.

"Enough of that, let’s go see Lin Yun. How should I place him?"

As Dongfang Hongyue walked, she pondered in her heart about how to properly place Lin Yun.

The path of cultivation is full of hardships; the more talented one is, the more likely they are to be targeted.

But now, there was no Yellow Wind Valley for Lin Yun to stay and cultivate.

On the way, she encountered Hongling, who had been on her way to find her.

"Sect Hierarch, what should we do about those people? Many of them are spies from different factions, but even more of them are innocent."

"Spies..."

A light flashed in Dongfang Hongyue’s eyes.

If Lin Yun feared enmity within the Demon Sect, it would be better in the Righteous Path. The Righteous Path wasn’t as dangerous as the Demon Sect. Even if he were targeted, he wouldn’t be so easily eliminated. Moreover, Lin Yun’s exceptional talent was sure to be cherished by those of the Righteous Path, and he could incidentally gather some intelligence.

Brilliant!
