The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 76 The Stunned Qing and the White Lotus

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 The Stunned Qing and the White Lotus

Hearing the words "Divine Artifact," the onlookers around him had already begun to gasp in astonishment. Those who had heard of what a Divine Artifact was started to enlighten the ignorant, leading even more to gasp in shock.

If global warming is true, everyone present shares the blame.

Lin Yun could very well understand the feelings of these people.

For instance, Divine Artifacts like the Xuanyuan Sword, even in Lin Yun’s original world, were legendary Divine Artifacts, along with the likes of the Kunlun Mirror.

Such legends were just something ordinary people would listen to, to learn about traditional culture.

What would it feel like if one day someone actually got their hands on a Divine Artifact?

In this Cultivation World, it wasn’t that exaggerated, after all, with Immortal Artifacts around, more people believed in the existence of Divine Artifacts. Even so, it was still shocking news.

But Lin Yun’s mood was also quite complicated now.

That last poem that appeared and then dissipated, probably not many people would care, maybe they would just think it was a sign the Moon God Ruins also liked to recite poetry, but Lin Yun was different.

That poem...

He had read it before.

Could it be that Moon God is actually a fellow villager of mine?

However, now was not the time to think about these things; he had caught Jiang Chenyu’s attention.

"Since you two entered together, what did this little brother gain?"

Jiang Chenyu was trying to deflect others’ attention.

At this point, she wasn’t one to be fearful. In the Cultivation World, Guanghan Palace was ranked second amongst Sects, no small school or minor sect—she wasn’t particularly afraid of others coveting her position.

But, if she could reduce some risks, why wouldn’t she be pleased?

Jiang Chenyu had her eye on the box in Lin Yun’s hands and had already made her calculations. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Lin Yun was just a Loose Cultivator; if someone malicious wanted to steal the treasure, naturally they wouldn’t dare to trouble Guanghan Palace. Thus, snatching what was in Lin Yun’s hands must be rather delightful, right?

It’s always easiest to squeeze the softest persimmon.

Lin Yun observed Jiang Chenyu’s gentle appearance, but inwardly, a chill ran through him.

This lady doesn’t seem like the good type!

"I got this box; it appears to be a set of techniques, but the box is locked."

Lin Yun didn’t mention the Chaos Pearl, hoping the Flower Fairy would keep it secret for him.

As for the box, there was nothing he could do; under the watchful eyes of the public, Lin Yun couldn’t just hide it away.

Jiang Chenyu looked shocked, as if envious, and said, "It’s actually a technique. It must be a very powerful Divine Skill or secret technique."

Then, with a tinge of regret, she added, "Treasures belong to those destined for them; this is all part of your fate. Rest assured, within the domain that Guanghan Palace governs, no one can rob you of your treasures."

In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, a young man clenched his fists tighter upon hearing Jiang Chenyu’s words.

Guanghan Palace’s governance?

It seems these people have already forgotten that Great Zhou also has an Imperial Clan!

Under the scrutiny of the masses, Lin Yun acted like an innocent novice, very respectfully thanking Jiang Chenyu, "Thank you for the protection of the Palace Master."

I don’t believe you one bit, you crafty old woman!

In that instant, Lin Yun realized Jiang Chenyu had no good intentions.

Announcing protection for Lin Yun within the Guanghan Palace’s domain—was that a good thing?

Wrong, it was to give other powers time to react. The news would definitely spread quickly, and with Jiang Chenyu explicitly stating that Guanghan Palace wouldn’t covet Lin Yun’s treasures, other powers would have their chance.

For a moment, many in the crowd displayed a strange expression before quietly backing away.

And at that moment, someone leaped out.

"What is this technique about? Let me have a look. I am quite curious."

The speaker was none other than Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was straightforward, just like his Sword Dao, without unnecessary twists and turns.

"I’m just curious, let me have a look," Lin Yun said.

Jiang Chenyu’s face was full of displeasure as she prepared to see who had the death wish to challenge her on her own turf.

When she saw who it was, ah, it turned out to be that blockhead again.

Those who play tricks are always afraid of those who are obstinately courageous.

At this moment, when the disciple from the White Lotus Sect saw that something was amiss and thought that Liu Ji was about to steal the treasure, he quickly contacted Zhang Biyu.

As soon as Zhang Biyu heard that a fight was about to break out, she was immediately possessed by the spirit of an old immortal fairy.

After quickly grasping the situation, Zhang Biyu declared her support, "We haven’t even congratulated Guanghan Palace on obtaining the Divine Artifact. With the Divine Artifact’s help, Guanghan Palace’s influence is sure to expand further. I’m sure they will have even more assurance in the battle between the Human and Demon Races. This great news hasn’t yet been shared with the other Sect Leaders!"

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

My lifelong enemies, the white lotus and the blockhead.

At this moment, Dongfang Hongyue simply stood up as well.

"What a coincidence, this Lin Yun belongs to me. He stole something from me and ran away. Perhaps it’s because of this that he had the chance to enter that secret realm and steal the treasure. The Divine Skill should naturally be in the custody of our Holy Sect."

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

Well, it turns out you’re the most scheming of them all!

Dongfang Hongyue was also establishing an identity for Lin Yun. Lin Yun had indeed escaped from her, so it would be suspicious if they met now and pretended not to recognize each other.

It was better to acknowledge it openly.

Whether or not she could take Lin Yun back, the act had to be thoroughly played out. Of course, she wanted to take him back now.

She swore it was not because she was jealous and wanted to take him back for some "special training."

Jiang Chenyu’s face turned dark.

She had thought that with her arrangements, she could have all the treasures in her pocket. If not for the Divine Artifact being too important, she wouldn’t have hesitated to hoard it and wouldn’t have considered letting Lin Yun go for others to fight over.

But why... why were all three Sect Hierarchs from the Demon Sect here?

She thought her tactics were dirty enough, but the Demon Sect was dirtier.

At least Guanghan Palace had let a disciple come forward, but the three Sect Hierarchs from the Demon Sect showed no martial virtue and stepped in personally.

With her cultivation level, at best she could fight one Demon Lord to a draw. Now with three here, she feared she couldn’t hold them off.

At that moment, the only thing she could do was naturally let Lin Yun go. After all, Dongfang Hongyue’s claim was reasonable, and moreover, the Righteous Path and the Demon Sect were now in a cooperative relationship.

However, just as she was about to speak, Lin Yun added more drama.

He looked at Dongfang Hongyue righteously, and declared sternly, "Nonsense, that’s just a pretext for the Demon Sect’s cunning theft. The Lord of Guanghan Palace is upright and full of integrity, and will certainly not be coerced by you!"

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

MMP, I was already prepared to give in!

But when you’re out in the world, face is very important.

Jiang Chenyu cleared her throat and said, "The young brother is right. You can settle your grudges later. This young brother’s treasure is his own fortune. If the Demon Sect wants to cause trouble here, Guanghan Palace will not agree to it."

Jiang Chenyu felt her scalp tingle.

Although she was panicking, her tone was not the least bit weak.

At the same time, she was sneakily asking for help.

These members of the Demon Sect had no respect for martial virtue; who knew if they would outnumber and bully her.

It was time to call for backup.

The closest one was Fang Yu, the Shenxiao Sect Leader, and she had a grudge against that blockhead, so Jiang Chenyu decided to summon her!

Dongfang Hongyue looked at Lin Yun with an expression that said she very much wanted to go over and hammer him a few times.

You insubordinate disciple, you’ve overdone it!

But then, Dongfang Hongyue began to feel nervous.

What if, Lin Yun truly intended to break away from the Demon Sect?
