The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 40: Tao Bao Net VIP Member

Daoist Master Huang Long felt the rich Dragon Qi emanating from this piece of meat, which left him somewhat puzzled.

For there to be so much Dragon Qi, it must be the flesh of a True Dragon.

Which part could it be? A moment’s thought gave Daoist Master Huang Long the answer.

Bai Jiaojiao hadn’t killed him but had left him a Dragon Whip, what did this mean?

Could it be, because he was too handsome, Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t bear to kill him and even presented him this great tonic?

Daoist Master Huang Long couldn’t help but smile. Other than this explanation, what else could it be?

"Very good, I do like this kind of fiery spirit."

Daoist Master Huang Long was clearly thinking of peaches.

He put away the Dragon Whip and glanced once more at the dead Huang Jiao, his eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

However, finding that Huang Jiao’s blood essence had run dry and its body devoid of Dragon Qi, Daoist Master Huang Long regretfully set it down.

He had originally intended to take Huang Jiao’s corpse back for proper handling, but now he could only leave it here.

His body was still injured, and knowing this place was the Land of Death, it seemed pointless to risk carrying back something worthless.

Afterward, he took to the sky. Checking the celestial patterns to confirm his direction, he started to fly conspicuously.

Suddenly, he heard a piercing noise and felt a wave of dizziness as several bats circled around him.

Daoist Master Huang Long sneered. He knew that monsters roamed the Land of Death at night, but such inexplicable things were easy prey for a third-realm cultivator, provided the True Qi remained strong—kill as many as you wish.

Uh, his True Qi was running low.

Forget it, I’ll spare your lives, scram.

But as he flew from the Land of Death towards White Tiger Ridge, Daoist Master Huang Long felt his scalp tingle with the sheer number of these random creatures. Weren’t there too many of them?

No wonder this place was a forbidden zone for living beings, trouble not to be trifled with—better to run away quickly.

Upon reaching White Tiger City, with the replenishment of Spiritual Energy, Daoist Master Huang Long felt more at ease. Without lingering, he finally returned to Barbarian State as the sky began to brighten.

However, the Yu Ling Sect was in total chaos at this time.

"What happened?"

Daoist Master Huang Long landed at the mountain gate and grabbed a disciple to ask.

Seeing the Sect Master’s return, that disciple burst into tears.

"Sect Master, you’re finally back! We were attacked by the Demon Tribe; many of our brothers and sisters are dead..."

"What!"

Daoist Master Huang Long hadn’t expected the Demon Tribe to attack the Yu Ling Sect.

Were they seeking war?

Daoist Master Huang Long was fraught with urgency. He let go of the ordinary disciple and returned inside the Sect’s premises.

At that moment, the Elders were in a meeting.

Although the Demon Tribe’s invasion had been temporarily repelled, they still needed to brace for the possibility of their return.

Clearly, this was a premeditated assault.

"The Demon Tribe would not rashly engage us; this attack seems more like retaliation."

Elder Red Sea Dragon said solemnly, being the Great Elder of the Yu Ling Sect and the strongest after Daoist Master Huang Long.

In Huang Long’s absence, he had temporarily taken charge.

"But, although our people occasionally capture young beasts in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, the Demon Tribe also raids the Human Race territories, and we’ve all turned a blind eye. It doesn’t make sense for them to suddenly seek revenge over such things, does it?"

Others voiced different opinions.

"What about the Sect Master?"

Elder Red Sea Dragon suddenly remembered that Daoist Master Huang Long had been away for some time.

Given that he followed the Demon King Bai Jiao, it might have angered Bai Jiao enough to send forces for retribution.

Daoist Master Huang Long, who had just heard this discussion, said with a grim face, "This time, the White Sea Dragon Demon King lost a subordinate."

"Sect Master!"

Seeing Daoist Master Huang Long return, the other Elders also felt reassured, now having a leader to rely on.

And upon hearing Daoist Master Huang Long’s words, the incident of the Demon Tribe’s attack also found an answer.

It must have been White Sea Dragon, dissatisfied, who took the opportunity while Daoist Master Huang Long was away to launch a sneak attack.

"What should we do now to regain our standing?"

If they were to be attacked without retaliation, morale would crumble.

Once morale crumbled, the team would be hard to manage.

Elder Red Sea Dragon then asked, "Sect Master, what did you gain from this trip?"

Daoist Master Huang Long gave him a look that served as a cue, and Elder Red Sea Dragon then dismissed the other Elders, leaving only the two of them.

Elder Red Sea Dragon and Daoist Master Huang Long were biological brothers; after the others left, Elder Red Sea Dragon said, "Brother, could it be that there is some unspeakable difficulty?"

Daoist Master Huang Long nodded and said lamentably, "Huang Jiao is dead."

"Ah this..."

Daoist Master Red Sea Dragon was visibly shocked, but then, he struggled to hold back a laugh.

Originally, Daoist Master Huang Long was already the highest in cultivation level within the Yu Ling Sect, but half of the Yu Ling Sect’s combat power was vested in their Spirit Pets.

With Daoist Master Huang Long’s dragon gone, wouldn’t that mean...

Cough cough, it’s not as if to say there’s intent to revolt.

Despite his best efforts to contain himself, the fleeting look of joy that passed across Elder Red Sea Dragon’s eyes did not escape Daoist Master Huang Long’s keen perception.

In actuality, as quite the scheming figure, Daoist Master Huang Long had been on guard for this possibility while on his way back.

Thus, when revealing the death of Huang Jiao, he had already been observing Elder Red Sea Dragon’s reaction.

Even though they were brothers, the person Daoist Master Huang Long of the Yu Ling Sect trusted the least was his own brother.

This man had ambition and plans; given the chance, he would attempt to ascend to the heavens, yet he never realized that he had always been just a brother.

"What happened exactly?"

Elder Red Sea Dragon reined in his glee and began to inquire about the details.

Daoist Master Huang Long recounted the events, although there was much he did not know and could only speculate that Bai Jiaojiao took the Dragon Corpse and Dragon Ball.

She also left him a Dragon Whip.

Daoist Master Huang Long also shared his conjecture—perhaps, Bai Jiaojiao had taken a liking to him.

This was also a way to intimidate his brother.

"What does Huang Jiao’s death matter, when I’ve found an even better White Sea Dragon?"

However...

"Brother, could it be she intended to mock you, suggesting in fact you are only fit to eat leftovers?"

Daoist Master Huang Long: "..."

You wily little brother, you truly have wild ambitions, attempting to shake my dao heart with such methods!

Although it makes sense, I will not believe it!

"If not for this reason, why would she have attacked the Yu Ling Sect then?"

Elder Red Sea Dragon said, laying out the evidence.

Daoist Master Huang Long calmly replied, "Here you are wrong. You only see the surface, thinking she came just to vent her anger, but in fact, she is concealing her true intentions, using the guise of revenge to foster a false enmity between us. It will make our interactions seem less suspicious to others."

"Is that even possible?"

Elder Red Sea Dragon couldn’t help scratching his head.

"That’s still just the second layer. Now that the White Sea Dragon Demon King has acquired the dragon’s body, she needs to mislead others. Only I know what she has acquired, and to coordinate with her, we should now declare war on them. Clearly, our single sect’s domain is somewhat weak, so this time we can request assistance from other sects.

This will achieve a dual benefit. We can acquire more resources for spiritual cultivation, and she can pretend to wage war while secretly cultivating. Once her cultivation is successful, we will join forces, and at that time, won’t both the Human and Demon Races be at our feet?"

Elder Red Sea Dragon: "..."

Although what his brother said seemed to make sense, he couldn’t help but feel that one couldn’t dream such wild dreams without a full day’s sleep...
