The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: There is an insider traitor, terminate the transaction



Five days later, Lin Yun followed Green Lotus onto a flying chicken.

The flying chicken was a mystic beast, but only twice the size of two big oxen. Its combat power wasn't strong, yet it excelled at flying. Cultivators raised them for this purpose, and since they resembled chickens, they were thus called flying chickens.

The origin of the name was well-founded, leaving Lin Yun no room to complain.

But he wasn't in the mood to complain right now.

After learning that the Demon Sect had already seen through the Orthodox Sects' movements, Lin Yun wanted to notify Wang Wanqiu, to tell her there was an insider traitor, and to call off the assassination.

Although Lin Yun too wished for the plan to fail, he didn't want to bring trouble upon himself – Wang Wanqiu had just shared their plan with him and the Demon Sect found out immediately afterward. It would be weird if she didn't suspect him.

He tried to contact her for several days, yet there was no response to Lin Yun's calls from Wang Wanqiu's end.

And so, time dragged on until the Red Lotus Demon Lord's birthday celebration. Lin Yun was quite helpless.

Now, all he could do was play it by ear.

There were other handsome men on the flying chicken, a total of eight, including Lin Yun. These men were Green Lotus' gifts for the Red Lotus Demon Lord. They were all dressed in green silk clothes, looking elegant and handsome; it's just that they all bore a strong tinge of green.

This seemed to be foreshadowing something, right?

Lin Yun looked down at his new clothes for the day.

Damn! He was also dressed in the same style.

Everyone on the flying chicken was silent until they soared into the sky, where Green Lotus cast a talisman to stop the gale.

Then, he sat cross-legged. If not for the glaring green headband, his sitting at the front of the chicken all alone almost had a sense of a celestial aura around him.

Qinghe City is about a thousand miles away from Sunblaze Mountain, but it took just an hour for the flying chicken to get there.

Throughout that hour, Lin Yun kept sending signals to Wang Wanqiu without pause.

Well, it wasn't like he absolutely had to pass on a message; it was just that back in the day Wang Wanqiu also used to scorch his hand daily with these, so today it was his turn.

Like making prank calls for an hour, Lin Yun wasn't tired at all.

Green Lotus had the flying chicken land. There was a spot on Sunblaze Mountain, specially designed for visitors to land their flying chickens, surrounded by several large flying chickens, probably raised by others from the Demonic Path.

Could this place be called Chicken Landing Flats?

While Lin Yun muttered to himself, he descended from the chicken's back and suddenly felt his finger heat up—Wang Wanqiu had responded to him.

Lin Yun replied, sensing that Wang Wanqiu was rapidly approaching his location.

As Lin Yun looked up, he saw a large white bird, a crane, flying over. It carried a group of men dressed in white scholarly robes.

They looked ethereal in white, riding on the crane, while here he was, clad in green and seated on a chicken. Lin Yun suddenly felt a psychological imbalance.

Looking at their style, could it be that they were the representatives from the White Lotus Sect?

Heh, truly living up to their name, looking all sanctimonious. Everyone else rides flying chickens; only your family has a crane, right!

"Green Lotus, dear friend, long time no see. You're still so lush and vibrant today! Yo, these are the beauties you've picked? They seem rather underwhelming!"

The speaker was a woman dressed in white, sporting a hairstyle akin to Madame White Snake, and truly harbored an aura of sanctity.

Lin Yun wasn't pleased upon hearing this – what's with the White Lotus acting blind? Couldn't they see the handsome guy right here?

Green Lotus's expression darkened as he scoffed, "Bai Feng, stop picking on me. At least I've chosen males, each one brimming with masculinity. As for those you've chosen, tsk tsk, I really thought you brought a bunch of girls to attend the Red Lotus Demon Lord's birthday."

Lin Yun's gaze also searched through the crowd, and indeed, Wang Wanqiu was among them; she had indeed carried out her plan, but she had blended in with another group and slipped in as well.

Lin Yun actually quite admired this Bai Feng; he could actually find ten very ordinary-looking men simultaneously. This was something Lin Yun hadn't expected.

The quarrel between Green Lotus and Bai Feng did not continue, as two disciples from the Green Lotus Sect came over to greet the two Elders.

The reason Lin Yun recognized them as members of the Green Lotus Sect at a glance was naturally because they were all wearing red clothes.

Wow, do all three sects differentiate their camps by color?

Speaking of which, the attire of the White Lotus Sect is quite ethereal, and that of the Green Lotus Sect is pretty and vibrant, but the Green Lotus Sect...

Alas, it's not worth mentioning.

"We welcome the two esteemed seniors, please follow me to the grand hall. Hong Yao, lead these beauties to the Hundred Flowers Garden."

Two disciples from the Green Lotus Sect appeared, and Green Lotus and Bai Feng glanced at each other but obediently followed the female disciple who spoke, while the one named Hong Yao led the men brought by the White Lotus Sect and Green Lotus Sect down a different path.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Yun did not speak to Wang Wanqiu immediately. Instead, he quietly followed the group, and before long, they arrived at the rear hall of the Sunblaze Palace.

Despite the name, the Sunblaze Palace was not the headquarters of the Green Lotus Sect, but rather the residence of the Red Lotus Demon Lord.

Even so, the security here was tight. Lin Yun could see many disciples dressed in red patrolling.

Upon reaching the Hundred Flowers Garden, Lin Yun then saw a group of men resting in the garden.

The Red Lotus Demon Lord truly had the treatment of an emperor; these men, like the flowers in the garden, were merely her pets.

Hong Yao turned around and told them, "You can also rest in the garden. Fruits and food are available for the taking. If you have any requests, you may summon the Guard Brigade. But do not fight with others, and do not leave the garden."

After finishing, Hong Yao left, and Lin Yun and the others, looking at the various styled handsome men, all had somewhat peculiar expressions.

So the Red Lotus Demon Lord fancies handsome men, isn't that a bit too much?

Does she really have thousands of beauties in her harem?

Lin Yun, while scoffing, was carefully walking as if aimlessly, but very accurately bumped into Wang Wanqiu.

"Brother, it seems we have met before. Do you remember?"

Lin Yun pretended as if he had just recognized Wang Wanqiu. Wang Wanqiu also pretended to think, then as if suddenly realizing, said, "Indeed, we have met once before. I didn't expect to meet again here. Let's talk aside."

There were others chatting in the garden, so the two of them did not stand out.

Only when they reached a corner did Wang Wanqiu suddenly grab Lin Yun's hand.

Lin Yun couldn't help but panic inside. What now, does she want to impose some unspoken rules?

Considering Wang Wanqiu's appearance, changing back into a woman's attire would surely look quite nice. But was Lin Yun superficial enough to care about appearances?

"This is a Sound Transmission Talisman, but with my cultivation level, only at such a close distance can I ensure that no one will notice. Just think in your mind, and you'll be able to talk to me."

The voice of Wang Wanqiu suddenly echoed in Lin Yun's mind. Indeed, such a measure was also essential for undercover agents.

However...

It seemed the original host had not mastered such professional skills.

He had learned only one set of sword techniques before he was sent out to go undercover. Now that he thought about it, it always felt a bit strange.

At this moment, Lin Yun did not have the leisure to ponder these things; he simply thought a phrase in his mind.

"There's an insider traitor, abort the assassination!"
