The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 55 Moon God’s Relic

As long as the explanation was clear enough, misunderstandings could be dispelled.

But Lin Yun knew that if he truly explained things, he’d have to disclose the origins of the Ascending Dragon Sword as well, so he simply chose not to explain.

"Rest assured, the task has been completed. After we see the Flower Fairy, we can leave," he said.

After speaking, Lin Yun went to cut a piece of cloth to wrap around the hilt of the Ascending Dragon Sword as well.

Previously, he had been too casual and completely forgot that, as Daoist Master Huang Long’s personal sword, the Ascending Dragon Sword had a certain notoriety.

Fortunately, Wang Wanqiu might not have been familiar with Daoist Master Huang Long and hadn’t noticed this detail.

That night, Lin Yun finally had a peaceful sleep.

Because Dongfang Hongyue had gone to a meeting.

Otherwise, if Hongling told her that Lin Yun was again sharing a room with Wang Wanqiu, how could Dongfang Hongyue remain untroubled?

In the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, the Righteous and Demonic paths were once again gathered, their ten leaders united. However, this time, it wasn’t about the war between the Human and Demon Races.

The issue of the war between the two races had already been mostly dealt with in previous meetings, and for the time being, peace had been restored to both the Righteous and Demonic paths.

The Seven Righteous Sects were responsible for confronting the Demon Tribe while the Three Teachings of the Demonic Path took charge of guarding against the invasion of the northern barbarians.

The battleground between the Human and Demon Races had also shifted from the initial bloody melee to a 1v1 man-on-man battle, which was implemented to prevent Upper Realm Experts from bombing the battlefield with spells, leading Low Realm Cultivators to die on the spot.

Although Cultivators were not considered a scarce resource, losing them to careless deaths was still distressing.

Three days ago, in the great battle of 1v1, a Demon King Level expert finally made a move.

The Night Cat King, a Demon King known for his speed, it’s universally acknowledged that a cat’s speed is seven times that of its own.

On the human side, thunderbolt magic adept Elder Ma from the Shenxiao Sect was dispatched, nicknamed "Lightning Whip," his command of Thunderbolt Magic was as easy as lifting his hand.

This was the first battle between Upper Realm Experts, and both Human and Demon Races paid great attention to it.

Losing this match wouldn’t signify defeat in the war but would greatly demoralize the troops.

Both the human and the demon put forth their utmost effort.

The Demon Cat King, moving so fast he seemingly vanished without a trace, his claws hiding lethal intent, only when a spark of cold light was seen, the flesh burst open, and life was gone;

The Lightning Whip, whip after whip in rapid succession, the tumult of five whips summoned thunder that shook the heavens, ghosts and gods, demons and goblins all cowered, so powerful he could reverse the flow of the Milky Way.

Each strike of the whip made the Demon King’s fur stand on end, each swipe of the claw left Elder Ma’s soul almost departing in fright.

Human and demon, each attack and counter, waged a spell duel for dozens of turns, dimming the skies and muddying the waters of the river.

Alas, they didn’t even touch the hem of each other’s garments.

You can’t kill anyone like this!

Perhaps the tumult of the duel was too great; in the midst of the fight, a fish emitting a seven-colored radiance flew out from the depths of the river, only to be lethally slapped by the Night Cat King. Though the fish died, it left behind glowing text.

"Ancient Han River Lands, Moon God’s Relic."

These eight characters shined brightly for a while before quickly dissipating, but the presence of both Human and Demon Races was instantly unsettled.

The words "Moon God’s Relic" were too tantalizing.

No one had seen a god, but everyone had heard tales of Divine Spirits.

The older the sect, the more detailed their records about Divine Spirits.

If one could obtain a treasure left behind by a Divine Spirit, did it mean there was a chance to surpass one’s current limits?

No one on the path of cultivating immortality could resist such temptation.

Both Human and Demon Races tacitly agreed to suspend the battle, beginning to lock down the information.

However, there are no walls in the world that do not leak, and soon enough, those who needed to know found out about it.

Although the terminology changed, with Moon God’s Relic being referred to as Han River Secret Treasure, the various Sects’ interest in this place did not diminish.

So much so that Daoist Master Yuxuan from the Taiqing Daoist Temple hurriedly initiated a group chat, calling everyone to a meeting.

"Daoist Chenyu, what are your thoughts on the Moon God’s Relic?"

Yuxuan looked towards the Guanghan Palace Master Jiang Chenyu, actually having a pretty clear idea in his mind.

Shenxiao Sect, Guanghan Palace, and Taiqing Daoist Temple, these three longstanding Sects, actually had some connection to Divine Spirits, and the one related to Guanghan Palace was naturally the Moon God.

Moreover, the Ancient Han River Lands probably referred to the Ancient Han River City, the current Cold Moon City.

With the four nearby cities all under the control of Guanghan Palace, one had to pay serious attention to Guanghan Palace’s stance when plotting to seize the Moon God’s Relic.

If Guanghan Palace sought to monopolize the Moon God’s Relic, it would be more in line with its interests, but the other major Sects might not be happy about it. Because of this treasure, the newly established alliance might just fall apart.

"What do I think? I look with my eyes, of course! I’d really like to see who’s so blind as to dare to steal from my territory."

Yuxuan: "..."

After so many years, Daoist Chenyu remains as domineering and powerful as ever.

At this moment, Qinglian Sword Venerable Liu Ji also didn’t hesitate to declare: "I’ll sign up."

Dongfang Hongyue silently gave Liu Ji a thumbs up.

Sister loves straightforward teammates like you.

You handle the offensive tasks, and we all plunder together when it’s time to seize the treasure.

Jiang Chenyu also had a look of annoyance on her face; well, she had run into a stubborn newbie.

Zhang Biyu, however, proficiently revealed her professional smile and said, "Brother Ji, hold on a moment. The Moon God’s Relic might be a chance for everyone, but after all, it is located below Guanghan Palace. If we openly contest for it, I’m afraid it might harm our good relations. The Demon and Barbarian Tribes are both watching us with covetous eyes. How can we fight against each other?"

"Sister Bi Yu is right!"

Ji Ye immediately voiced his support.

Dongfang Hongyue silently approved.

Well played, White Lotus!

Dongfang Hongyue felt so comfortable having teammates like these, a stubborn newbie on the left who would rashly charge forward, and a white lotus flower on the right, killing without spilling blood.

The words seemed to be in consideration for Guanghan Palace but were actually a veiled criticism of Guanghan Palace’s domineering intentions to monopolize the chance without regard for the unity of the alliance, lacking a broader perspective.

Brilliant!

"The humble monk also thinks Daoist Bi Yu’s words make sense. With great enemies before us, it doesn’t matter which Sect obtains the Moon God’s Relic as long as it remains in the hands of the Human Race, but we must never allow the Demon Tribe to seize it."

The Abbot Wukong from the Eight Tones Temple also spoke up, echoing Zhang Biyu’s sentiment, and then Sword Sect’s Baili Liuyun +1, Li Fire God Palace’s Ji Ye +1, Yu Ling Sect’s Daoist Master Huang Long +1.

Well, now, the four Righteous Path Sects have directly sided with the Demon Sect.

When the Righteous and Demonic alliance was first established, Dongfang Hongyue was worried that the Seven Righteous Sects would join forces to suppress the Demon Sect, but she was overthinking it.

We’re all our own people, after all!

Daoist Master Yuxuan somewhat helplessly looked towards Jiang Chenyu, hoping she would compromise.

Under pressure, Jiang Chenyu saw that only Shenxiao Sect remained on her side and also realized the trend was irreversible.

"Fine, since everyone feels this way, then the Moon God’s Relic is open for competition. However, Cold Moon City is vital to my Sect, and I can’t be at ease if everyone rushes over. How about we make a pact? Each Sect will send one cultivator below the Heart Guarding Realm to vie for the treasure. How does that sound?"

Jiang Chenyu stated her conditions and added sarcastically, "I presume none of you lack a presentable disciple, right?"

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

That, I truly do not have...
