The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 44 Peach Blossom Alliance

The peaceful Yellow Wind Valley was suddenly awakened by Hongling’s voice.

Though Hongling could be a delicate girl, she felt there was no need for that.

At that moment, Wang Wanqiu had just grabbed a knife and was waiting for the right time to give Lin Yun a quick end, when she unexpectedly heard Hongling’s urgent voice.

Even though the others didn’t know what had happened, they all followed Hongling’s command and rushed towards the exit.

Wang Wanqiu’s heart skipped a beat.

This was an opportunity; maybe Lin Yun wouldn’t have to die after all.

But when Wang Wanqiu arrived at Holy Spring Lake and hadn’t yet found a place to enter the water, she saw that the lake had already frozen over, and just approaching it, she could feel the bone-chilling cold.

By this time, all the people of Yellow Wind Valley had gathered at the exit.

Hongling arrived outside the valley first and her complexion changed drastically when she saw what was there.

Under the moonlight, she saw endless shadows drawing closer. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Hongling gritted her teeth; those monsters were about ten li away. Normally, there shouldn’t be such creatures within three hundred li, yet they had already come so close.

And five li away was a secret passage left by Dongfang Hongyue.

It would still be possible to make it if they took that route.

If she didn’t take the secret passage, she could survive, but the others from Yellow Wind Valley would all die.

Unless they could hold out until dawn, but that was unlikely.

From a distance, she sensed several formidable presences, no weaker than hers.

"Follow me!"

Hongling still made the decision.

The people of Yellow Wind Valley were there because of Dongfang Hongyue and formed the foundation of her Path of Virtuous Merit. If these people died, Dongfang Hongyue’s hundred years of virtuous cultivation would have been in vain.

Therefore, she had to make sure these people survived.

At this point, she couldn’t care about revealing secrets anymore.

At the same time, using a secret method, Hongling sent a message to Dongfang Hongyue, requesting the method to open the secret passage.

Only Dongfang Hongyue knew this method.

However, when Hongling reached the secret passage, she despaired to find that Dongfang Hongyue had not responded.

Could it be that her intention was to let these people die?

At that time, Dongfang Hongyue was attending an important meeting.

The meeting was attended by the leaders of the Three Teachings of the Demonic Path and the Seven Righteous Sects.

The relationship between the Righteous and Demonic Paths was unique, so the leaders of the Righteous and Demonic Paths couldn’t meet face to face at this conference.

They all attended through their Divine Sense.

Taiqing Daoist Temple had sent a Jade Talisman to each sect, which they could use to project their Divine Sense to a secret realm controlled by the Taiqing Daoist Temple.

Here, peach blossoms bloomed in everlasting splendor.

The meeting had started at night, but upon arriving here, it was daytime.

"Welcome everyone to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm."

Once all the sect leaders had arrived, Daoist Master Yuxuan naturally took on the role of host.

With a casual wave, he conjured several meditation cushions, placing three on one side and six on the other, with himself sitting at the head.

The Righteous and Demonic Paths were distinctly separated.

Dongfang Hongyue watched this display and was secretly on guard.

This Peach Blossom Secret Realm was apparently under Yuxuan’s control; it was best not to conflict with Yuxuan at this time.

"Daoist Honglian, long time no see. I heard you were assassinated not long ago, which really worried your sister here," said one.

The speaker was the woman seated beside Dongfang Hong Yue, the White Lotus Sect Leader, Zhang Bi Yu.

Although she was from the Demon Sect, Zhang Bi Yu possessed an air of immortality. Under her leadership, the style of the White Lotus Sect had also undergone some changes.

If it weren’t for her essence still being to rebel and promote equality for all, people would have mistaken her for the Sect Leader of an Orthodox Sect.

Because of this style, the Orthodox Sects rarely troubled the White Lotus Sect. Even now, Palace Master Ji Ye from the Li Fire God Palace opposite them was staring at her unblinkingly.

Dongfang Hong Yue remained unimpressed, simply nodding indifferently, "It’s just a minor matter, no need to worry."

Seeing this, Ji Ye took the opportunity to speak up, "Bi Yu, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other."

With this comment, he attracted the attention of the others. Most of the time, the Righteous and Demonic paths were like fire and water, completely incompatible. Private friendships were acceptable, but such open displays were truly rare.

Zhang Bi Yu was immediately moved and said, "Brother Ye, haven’t I told you before. It’s not good for you to be seen associating with me in public."

"Don’t worry, I don’t mind these things."

Ji Ye, upon hearing Zhang Bi Yu’s words, also displayed a satisfied expression.

Dongfang Hong Yue quietly curled her lips.

These two are really something.

Qinglian Sword Venerable Liu Ji, who was sitting on one side, sneered outright, "You don’t mind, but others will. However, if your Li Fire God Palace wants to join the ranks of the Holy Sect, we would certainly welcome you. Otherwise, better to each keep to our own path!"

"Liu, what’s the problem with them just making a normal friendship? Why are you the one talking so much?"

Sect Leader Fang Yu of the Shenxiao Sect was known for his explosive temper, but Dongfang Hong Yue had heard a piece of gossip. In his early years of cultivation, Qinglian Sword Venerable went undercover in the Shenxiao Sect to learn their Thunderclap Sword technique under his real name, and he got entangled with one of the Shenxiao Sect’s senior sisters.

Thinking it through, if the story were true, Fang Yu could very well be that senior sister!

What a juicy piece of gossip.

Dongfang Hong Yue kept up her facade of a cold and aloof Sect Leader, yet she was hoping for them to argue even more fiercely.

"Hmph!"

Liu Ji just snorted and didn’t argue with Fang Yu.

This seemed to verify the gossip’s authenticity from another angle.

Dongfang Hong Yue couldn’t help but snicker secretly.

It was just a meeting, yet there was so much drama to enjoy. Interesting.

But...

Why is my eyelid twitching again today...

Dongfang Hong Yue was already used to it.

It wasn’t like her luck had been bad for just a day or two. Whatever!

Seeing the ruckus, Daoist Master Yuxuan could only try to smooth things over, "Everyone’s time is precious. Let’s discuss the matter at hand. The war between the Human and Demon Races is unstoppable. With the power of the Seven Righteous Sects alone, we fear we are no match for the Demon Tribe. According to our ancestors’ teachings, when facing external threats, we should temporarily put aside our grudges.

"Besides the Demon Tribe, the northern barbarians are also coveting our land, waiting to seize the opportunity. If we focus all our efforts against the Demon Tribe, they might take advantage of our vulnerability. Great Zhou is the land of both the Righteous and Demonic paths. How can we allow foreign races to interfere?"

"The Daoist Priest is right."

Baili Liuyun quickly agreed.

He was the one feeling most anxious recently. After all, Dongfang Hong Yue had that look of wanting to cause trouble before, and then she just left. He didn’t know what she was planning; in any case, it was best to confirm their cooperative relationship first.

Dongfang Hong Yue scoffed, "You’re all so funny. When we’re needed, Great Zhou belongs to both Righteous and Demonic paths. When we’re not, you start your demon hunting and exorcism campaigns. If you want to cooperate, we can talk, but first, pay the compensation."

Her Sunblaze Palace was still in the midst of reconstruction!

How could she rebuild her base without taking the opportunity to gain some leverage?

She had two bases, one overt and one covert, both requiring a massive amount of resources.

She wouldn’t let the various Orthodox Sects off without bleeding them dry.

Dongfang Hong Yue was gleefully leveraging the situation, unaware that her other base was about to be lost...
