The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 39: Has the great calamity started?

"The Red Lotus Sect has secretly constructed such an unknown place, they must be up to something big. Could it be that this place is actually their training ground?"

Wang Wanqiu grew more convinced the more she thought about it. In Yellow Wind Valley, there was spiritual energy for cultivation, and one could also venture out to combat the demonic creatures of the Land of Death as training, while ensuring safety.

No one knew that the Red Lotus Sect had been clandestinely cultivating such a force. It was terrifying!

Lin Yun: "..."

There it was, the wild imagination.

"So, we must expose this place."

Since Wang Wanqiu had misunderstood, Lin Yun didn’t mind affirming her idea.

"What about you?"

Wang Wanqiu felt very heavy-hearted. She knew that if she wanted to get the message out, then she couldn’t save Lin Yun.

If they were to startle the snake by hitting the grass, Lin Yun couldn’t be rescued, and she might also be implicated, then this secret could not be made public.

Moreover, even if they really wanted to save Lin Yun, his cultivation level would only be a burden to her.

But, to let Lin Yun sacrifice himself again?

When they were preparing to assassinate Dongfang Hongyue, she had been ready to let Lin Yun be sacrificed, and Lin Yun had not objected at all.

And now, was she to let Lin Yun be sacrificed again?

Wang Wanqiu felt somewhat reluctant.

But reason told her that for this matter, a sacrifice was necessary.

"Don’t worry about me. Sacrifices are worth it to exterminate demons and eliminate evil."

Lin Yun assumed a look of noble self-sacrifice, and Wang Wanqiu couldn’t help her tears.

"I will remember you."

After saying this, Wang Wanqiu walked away decisively.

She couldn’t stay here for too long, the longer she stayed, the more dangerous it was.

Lin Yun: "..."

I’m about to make a sacrifice, and you’re not going to persuade me?

Is this what the Righteous Path is like...

Forget it, anyway he didn’t have any affection for the Sword Sect, nor for Wang Wanqiu.

However, thinking of the operation three days later, and that Wang Wanqiu might die, Lin Yun actually felt somewhat reluctant.

All she wanted was to eliminate demons and get rid of evil. In this world, the Righteous Path should be the embodiment of justice, right?

Unfortunately, I might be considered a villain.

Lin Yun resumed his cultivation. He merely had the Azure Dragon Gu Worm help him absorb the spiritual energy, and he remained very alert, ready to react if anyone approached him.

But those who could be undercover were all extremely cautious, and without confirming Lin Yun’s identity, they also did not dare to recklessly make contact with him.

The tranquility expected of Yellow Wind Valley at night returned; it was a paradise with natural barriers for protection, endowed with an exceptional environment.

Yet in the vast Land of Death, nighttime was the liveliest hour.

Countless resentful spirits and monsters, emerging from unknown places, where they hid during the day is a mystery, but come night, under the moonlight, they abruptly appeared in the Land of Death.

Within three hundred miles of Yellow Wind Valley was a safe zone, based on conclusions drawn by Hongling through exploration.

It seemed that there were natural barriers, and those irrational demonic creatures did not approach Yellow Wind Valley, but that night, the routine was disrupted.

A long snake with three heads began to advance toward Yellow Wind Valley.

Although its progress was slow, it eventually crossed the boundary, and the black aura it exuded contaminated the land...

At Taiqing Daoist Temple, on the Observatory Platform, Yuxuan held a white piece in his left hand and a black piece in his right hand, playing chess alone.

At his level of cultivation, it was difficult to make any progress, so he spent his days idly, watching the stars and playing both sides of the game by himself.

Yuquan, concealing his injuries, hurried to Yuxuan’s side.

"Brother, I..."

"It appears you have failed."

Yuxuan calmly placed a white piece on the chessboard, and Yuquan felt a wave of shame.

This operation had indeed failed. He had thought that with his involvement, it would be nothing less than a slaughter.

Yet Dongfang Hongyue, this youngster who disrespected martial morals, practiced some flashy clone technique and ambushed him, an old man. He had been careless and failed to dodge in time.

"Dongfang Hongyue should have perished in the previous killing calamity, which would have united the Three Great Demon Sects. Just like these black pieces, forced by the white chess into banding together for warmth,"

Yuxuan seemed to explain the situation on the board leisurely and calmly, prompting Yuquan to say, "Senior Brother, I..."

"I know what you want to say. You failed because Dongfang Hongyue met with the White Sea Dragon. And as a variable, her encounter with the White Sea Dragon has turned the latter into a new variable. Originally, the White Sea Dragon was meant to face a death calamity today, but now, she too is still alive, shining brightly like a life star."

Yuquan: "..."

Senior Brother, I meant to ask if you could heal my injuries first?

I’ve been enduring it all along and it’s quite uncomfortable.

But with Yuxuan having built up the atmosphere to this point, Yuquan felt it awkward to break the mood and could only listen quietly.

Yuxuan waved a hand over the chessboard, and what had been clearly separated black and white pieces now interspersed in disarray.

Yuxuan said wistfully, "The world is undergoing great changes, the mysteries of fate are inherently opaque, and the variables are mounting. Like this game of chess, it has descended into chaos."

"Senior Brother..."

"There’s no need to worry, though. Fortune and disaster coexist. Seeing the future is not necessarily good, and not seeing the future isn’t necessarily bad either."

"Pff..."

Yuquan could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was then that Yuxuan lost his composed demeanor, exclaiming in surprise, "Didn’t I say there’s no need to worry? Why such a loss of composure?"

"I was injured by Dongfang Hongyue’s strange fire."

"Then why didn’t you speak up sooner?"

Yuquan: "..."

Was it that he didn’t want to speak up earlier?

Yuquan sighed inwardly.

His senior brother was good in every aspect but tended to show off.

An hour later, Yuxuan finally suppressed the golden-red flames inside Yuquan’s body and expelled them.

Once healed, Yuquan felt he was good to go.

"Tomorrow, I’ll descend the mountain and battle Dongfang Hongyue for three hundred more rounds!"

"Don’t go, you can’t beat her."

Yuquan: "..."

Is he that dismissive?

"Did you see the long rainbow that crossed the western sky?"

Yuquan quickly looked up but saw nothing.

"What was that?"

"It’s the heavens unleashing a murderous intent, the Star Shifting Technique. The Great Calamity has already begun. And now that Dongfang Hongyue has survived two killing calamities, her destiny is at its peak. You’d best not provoke her."

Yuquan: "..."

Just like that, so suddenly?

Aren’t there usually some early warnings before a great calamity?

And now it’s just starting out of the blue?

Yuquan began to question life.

In the Land of Death, the Dragon Tomb, Daoist Master Huang Long also questioned his life.

When Daoist Master Huang Long awoke, there was nothing left in the Dragon Tomb but a sea of corpses.

Seeing Huang Jiao dead, Daoist Master Huang Long’s mindset also collapsed.

Upon noticing the Dragon Corpse was gone and that both Bai Jiaojiao and the Green Snake were missing, he instinctively deduced that the Dragon Corpse had been taken by Bai Jiaojiao.

He only wondered why Bai Jiaojiao had not killed him.
