The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 143: This Child Must Not Be Kept (6th Update)
Lin Yu had previously accused the Sword Sect of being jealous of the talented, and those elders were quite enraged, but now, upon careful consideration, they found the thought deeply alarming indeed!
Would you send a disciple with an exceptional root to undercover?
I certainly wouldn’t.
The Innate Sword Body is a natural born seedling for sword cultivation, how could one possibly send him outside to push his luck, to be treasured within the sect, afraid even of him being bumped or scratched, who would be willing to let him go.
For a moment, the elders looked at Ming Xi with odd expressions in their eyes.
Ming Xi was left speechless, Baili Liuyun stared at him for a while, then glanced at his own wife, knowing there might be something fishy, but right now he couldn’t publicly slap his own face, any teaching had to be done in private.
"Lin Yun, your master might have had other considerations in sending you to infiltrate, but harboring resentment in your heart, turning your back on your sect, this world will not have a place for you to stay."
"Let’s not mention my case; fairness lies within the hearts of people. But before, Lin Yu was the most talented disciple of the Sword Sect, known as the ’Peerless Twin Jades’ along with the Saintess Flower Fairy of Guanghan Palace. Such a talent was actually plotted against by the Demon Sect, losing all his cultivation. With such an incident occurring, what has the Sect Master done?
It’s said that the Baili Family has held control of the Sword Sect for three generations, and the Sect Master’s son, although mediocre, became the most talented disciple after Lin Yu. Could it be the will of heaven that intends for the Baili Family to control the Sword Sect for a fourth generation, causing Lin Yu’s path to collapse?
But at that time, will the Sword Sect still belong to the disciples, or will it belong to the Baili Family? And will the Sect Master’s son be able to lead the Sword Sect back to glory? It’s just that I don’t know, if one day the Sword Sect falls to the point where it can’t even rank among the Seven Righteous Sects, will the Sect Master have the face to meet the ancestors of the Sword Sect in the netherworld?
Will the descendants of the Sword Sect point at your spirit tablet and curse in rage?"
As Lin Yun spoke, the people in the great hall were stirring.
Including Baili Liuyun—when he heard Lin Yun accusing him of plotting against Lin Yu, he was furious inside, but by the end, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Especially when he saw the looks in the other elders’ eyes turning a bit odd, Baili Liuyun knew that a crisis of trust had arisen within the sect.
But watching Lin Yun’s righteous and stern demeanor, he couldn’t come up with any words to refute.
At this time, it was Mu Yunyan who stood up, chastising sharply, "Impudent child, dare to spread discord here, I see you have long been bought by the Demon Sect, such a traitor, cannot be left alive!"
Having said that, Mu Yunyan formed a sword gesture, and a fierce burst of Sword Qi rushed towards Lin Yun.
The Sword Qi was fast, but Lin Yun was faster, easily evading and moving to Hu Yuling’s side.
Mu Yunyan didn’t expect her attack to miss, unaware that Lin Yun’s skills in escape were nothing short of divine; her casual blow had allowed Lin Yun to dodge to Hu Yuling’s side.
Cunning like a ghost, that wretched kid, cannot be left alive!
"Honorable elders, please help me capture this thief."
Mu Yunyan, having made the first move, it was as if she had fired the first shot.
The infuriated Baili Liuyun also reacted, and at this point, Lin Yun could not be left alive; later, they would just insist he had been bought by the Demon Sect.
As for offending the Shenxiao Sect, so be it.
"Sword Array, arise!"
Baili Liuyun drew the Sect Master’s sword, activating the formation within the great hall.
This trapping formation was meant to prevent Hu Yuling from forcefully taking Lin Yun away; they hadn’t thought of killing Hu Yuling—that would be akin to pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth—but restraining her and then killing Lin Yun was not difficult. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The elders in the hall were doubtful, but since the Sect Master had given the order, no one was the first to stand up against it; they surrounded Lin Yun and the others, and for a moment, the killing intent was palpable.
Lin Yu’s face was somewhat pale; she had not expected things to develop to this stage, and feared that today she would be unable to escape her fate.
"Mother has wronged you."
Lin Yu now deeply regretted it, she should never have sent Lin Yun to the mountain three years ago.
It was all because she trusted the Sword Sect too much; only after three years, when she realized Lin Yun was not being given special training, did she start to suspect there were hidden schemes within the Sword Sect, but by then it was too late.
She also didn’t expect Lin Yun, who hadn’t died at the hands of the Demon Sect, would end up turning weapons against the Sword Sect.
All she could do was hold her sword in front of Lin Yun, who then pushed her behind himself, creating quite the picture of motherly love and filial piety.
Zhao Lingyu was moved; the Royal Family has no kin. If she were to face life and death dangers, she feared no one would sacrifice their life to save her!
"Honorable Li, prepare to intervene and rescue when the time comes."
Zhao Lingyu herself didn’t need protection. Although members of the Imperial Family were no different from mascots outside, who would dare to kill a mascot?
The Acolyte nodded. If she didn’t do something, she wouldn’t even deserve a surname!
"I say, aren’t you all underestimating me?"
Hu Yuling felt she was being slighted.
She knew that these people couldn’t kill Lin Yun, for he was an old demon, but their belief that they could was a slight to her.
Indeed, the world only heard of Fang Yu’s fame, and she seldom traveled outside. Her Daoist skills were also rarely displayed.
Today, however, was a good opportunity.
"Elder Yu Ling, please step aside; this is a matter internal to our Sect."
"I won’t interfere with that. All I know is that the Sect Master ordered me to bring Lin Yun back unharmed. Since you all want to fight, bring it on!"
Hu Yuling’s Immortal Sword burst into intense electric light.
The swords in the hands of the Sword Sect Elders buzzed, nearly slipping from their grasp.
Hu Yuling’s sword possessed a powerful attraction; it was using her own strength to wrest the swords from everyone’s hands. The first to lose her sword was Lin Yu.
Her cultivation level was too low to contend with Hu Yuling.
That sword circled around the Immortal Sword, and Lin Yun was dumbstruck on the spot.
Was this a replica of the Thunderclap Sword?
Baili Liuyun knew they could not continue this way. He took the initiative, attacking Hu Yuling with his sword, while Mu Yunyan aimed her attack at Lin Yun, with clear intent.
The only one who remained uninvolved on the field was Zhao Lingyu.
Mu Yunyan’s sword was blocked by Honorable Li. As a professional bodyguard, the Acolyte didn’t counterattack; defense was all that was needed.
Mu Yunyan couldn’t get past her and turned to look at Ming Xi, who was desperately holding onto his sword. She shouted loudly, "Drop your sword, kill the thief!"
Ming Xi understood instantly. Indeed, why be so attached to one’s own sword? Did he need a sword to kill Lin Yun?
Ming Xi released his Spirit Sword, which then flew towards Hu Yuling. With a sweep of her hand, the Spirit Sword turned and struck towards Ming Xi. Had it not been for Elder Mingxin’s intervention with her sword, Ming Xi would have been pierced by his own Spirit Sword.
Elder Mingxin held a Wooden Sword, and although it was only of ordinary quality, it proved extremely effective in this moment. With her cultivation level, even a Wooden Sword was enough to kill.
Baili Liuyun was overjoyed, "Elder Mingxin, kill Lin Yun!"
As he said this, he struggled with all his might to entangle Hu Yuling, while the other Elders gave their all to create an opportunity for Mingxin.
Now that the fight had broken out, Lin Yun must die.
As for whether the Sect Master was right or wrong, that could be discussed later.
At this moment, the people of the Sword Sect were still united.
Mingxin nodded, and thrusted a simple, unadorned sword at Lin Yun, creating an inescapable feeling. Lin Yu knew that an Upper Realm Expert’s attack, however ordinary, was not something Lin Yun could withstand.
This sword was destined to draw blood.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu threw herself into Lin Yun’s arms, using her own back to meet the sword’s thrust.
Just then, a burst of flames suddenly appeared in the hall...
