The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 34 Can an Undercover Become a Sect Hierarch?
Although she didn’t know why Bai Jiaojiao insisted on calling herself Auntie, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t be bothered to argue about it any further.
She was more interested in how Bai Jiaojiao knew Lin Yun, as their interaction seemed intimate, a thought which made Dongfang Hongyue’s heart burn with annoyance.
"What happened to you before, and why are you so grievously injured?"
Dongfang Hongyue was truly surprised, since Bai Jiaojiao was a Great Demon of a thousand years, yet now she appeared incredibly weak, which is why Dongfang Hongyue didn’t doubt Lin Yun when he said he was healing her.
"It’s a long story," Bai Jiaojiao replied.
Now that Dongfang Hongyue had arrived, Lin Yun didn’t need to rush off immediately, but the sun was intense, and Lin Yun felt uncomfortable, so he proposed to Bai Jiaojiao, "How about we talk while we walk?"
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
So, she was to serve as his mount?
She had never been subjected to such humiliation throughout her years of cultivation.
But she had that sort of agreement with Lin Yun, and Dongfang Hongyue might become her mother-in-law in the future.
Respecting one’s elders was also a custom of the Human Race.
Bai Jiaojiao transformed into a Sea Dragon, and Lin Yun happily jumped aboard.
Although she was still a Sea Dragon, she was a Dragon in a lower-ranked form.
This move was very cool.
Dongfang Hongyue, however, was dumbfounded. What exactly had Lin Yun done to make a Demon King willingly serve as his ride?
Seeing Bai Jiaojiao signal her to climb on as well, Dongfang Hongyue hesitated for a moment before also sitting on Bai Jiaojiao’s back.
Bai Jiaojiao soared into the sky and flew eastward.
The Land of Death was to the west, flying towards the east would always lead out.
Lin Yun began telling Dongfang Hongyue about what had happened while riding on her.
"...In short, by relying on my wit and bravery, we managed to survive the ordeal, and then you arrived," Lin Yun concluded, not forgetting to praise himself. Dongfang Hongyue, however, was not in the mood for his banter.
She, like Bai Jiaojiao, was more concerned about why Ao Gong had been struck by divine punishment.
It couldn’t really be that the Demon Dragon was struck by divine punishment just because Lin Yun said it would be, right?
If one really faced divine punishment upon reaching the Defiant Heavenly Realm, wouldn’t that mean the path to immortality was cut off?
Therefore, she hoped for a different possibility.
"That Demon Dragon might not be punished for his cultivation level, but perhaps for his sins," Dongfang Hongyue shared her opinion.
Bai Jiaojiao also expressed her doubts, "Sins?"
"Yes, since he reacted with horror to the Divine Fire, calling it the Meritorious Divine Fire, it shows he is very fearful of the power of merit. Those dark auras might be the karmic obstructions he has accrued. Besides, the Land of Death is a legendary place of divine punishment. A creature steeped in sin lingering in such a land could hardly find it surprising to be struck by divine punishment.
Moreover, to my guess, the Human Race already has one who broke through the Heavenly Mandate."
"What!" Bai Jiaojiao exclaimed in shock.
This was groundbreaking news.
"Who is that person?"
"The Sect Leader of the Taiqing Daoist Temple," Dongfang Hongyue continued. "My master had also broken the shackles of his fate and engaged in a great battle with Daoist Master Yuxuan. Upon his return, he only told me that Yuxuan was unrivaled in the world, and then he passed away suddenly."
This was why Dongfang Hongyue had kept a low profile over the years.
If her master, so powerful, was killed by Daoist Master Yuxuan, how could she dare to provoke him?
But she was still young, and Yuxuan belonged to her master’s generation. She could simply wait until he passes away naturally.
"Perhaps, it really is because of sins," Bai Jiaojiao mused hopefully.
She now possessed the Dragon Ball, and if she went into seclusion to cultivate, she might have the chance to transform into a Dragon. Once she became a Transforming Dragon, she would indeed reach the Defiant Heavenly Realm.
If one was punished by divine forces just for entering the Defiant Heavenly Realm, what was the point in cultivating at all.
And it was only now that she realized that the Human Race had such a hidden BOSS.
After discussing this serious topic, Dongfang Hongyue asked, "So, that Demon Dragon turned completely to ash, and nothing was left behind?"
"There was still a Dragon Ball, which I gave to her," Lin Yun answered honestly.
Dongfang Hongyue: "..."
That was a Dragon Ball!
Didn’t you think about your beautiful and charming master?
"Truly worthy of being my good disciple, generous and magnanimous, giving away such a legendary divine object as if it were nothing,"
Dongfang Hongyue’s tone was sour, but she didn’t actually think about snatching the Dragon Ball back.
If she took action now, Bai Jiaojiao was no match for her, but there was no need.
The Dragon Ball might be a treasure, but it wasn’t that important to her; it was just a matter of feeling somewhat imbalanced mentally.
It was only then that Bai Jiaojiao realized Dongfang Hongyue was not Lin Yun’s mother, but his master.
But it wasn’t a big problem.
They were both elders, after all!
It’s understandable for elders to be jealous, but don’t they say in the Human Race that ’once you have a wife, you forget your mother’?
If you can forget even your mother, how could you remember your master?
Bai Jiaojiao was inwardly pleased, yet pretended as if she hadn’t heard anything, simply continuing to fly in silence.
But Lin Yun felt his scalp tingle.
Only now did he realize that Dongfang Hongyue could get so jealous; she was practically no different from a young girl in love.
Lin Yun, struck by an idea, said, "Master, I actually know of a place with a treasure. If you want it, I can go and get it for you."
"Heh, what a joke. Do I look like the type who cares about treasures?"
Dongfang Hongyue curled her lip, thinking to herself: If you really wanted to give me a treasure, why didn’t you just bring it here instead of asking?
"That’s good, I thought you were jealous for a moment!"
"Heh, would I, the mighty Demon Sect Leader, be jealous of you?"
Dongfang Hongyue said this out loud, but her cheeks had puffed up, making her look quite adorable.
"So you all are from the Demon Sect!" Bai Jiaojiao sounded very happy, initially worried that Lin Yun belonged to a Reputable Sect since even the Demon Dragon had mentioned Lin Yun possessing the Meritorious Divine Fire.
Those with Merit are usually those disciples who claim to act on behalf of heaven, right? Those righteous disciples love to talk about vanquishing demons and eliminating evil.
Don’t they think about it? Humans and demons are all living beings. Why is slaying demons considered acting on heaven’s behalf? Did the Demon Tribe eat their rice or what?
But on second thought, considering Lin Yun’s style of doing things, it made sense for him to be part of the Demon Sect.
"Please refer to us as the Holy Sect,"
Lin Yun spoke sternly: "If someone from the Demon Sect openly claims to be from it, they are mostly undercover."
Dongfang Hongyue: "????"
Are you hinting at me?
"But isn’t your master the Sect Leader?" Bai Jiaojiao asked timidly. "Can an undercover agent become the Sect Leader?"
"Who knows, like this brat Lin Yun, maybe he’s an infiltrator sent by some sect, and once I die, won’t he become the Sect Leader?"
Dongfang Hongyue looked at Lin Yun with an unfriendly expression while Bai Jiaojiao burst into laughter, saying, "How could he possibly be an undercover agent? Disciples from reputable sects wouldn’t think about coercing female ghosts to warm their beds or coveting the beauty of demon women, right?"
Dongfang Hongyue’s expression grew even more unsightly.
"Did he covet your beauty?"
"We have an agreement that once I become a dragon, I’ll come back to find him to fulfill the rites of humanity."
Lin Yun: "????"
All I wanted was to ride you, are you smearing my reputation out of nowhere?
