The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 789 - 295 Let Him Pretend to Be a Success
The Demon Emperor was already on the brink of death, which was, to Lin Yun, the best news at the moment.
His journey had been extremely smooth; he had intended to infiltrate the Demon Race as an undercover agent, but unexpectedly, upon infiltration, he ascended directly to the upper echelons.
Purple Lightning seemed to have no sense of confidentiality whatsoever, discussing such crucial matters openly with him, someone who hadn’t even been verified.
Just based on bloodline resonance?
It was far too reckless.
The Demonic Qi on my body is all released by myself, pretending to be of the Demon Race.
Lin Yun criticized Purple Lightning in his heart, but spoke righteously, "I will not help you with this request. This is his tribulation, which he must overcome by himself."
It was unclear which Demon Emperor it was or whether he would survive, but in any case, Lin Yun hoped for trouble in the demon camp.
Purple Lightning’s disappointment was evident on her face when she heard Lin Yun’s response, but she dared not argue against him, nor did she think that what he said was wrong.
The Demon Race also had a concept of tribulation; overcoming tribulation was the way to become stronger.
Purple Lightning was initially uneasy, but then she thought that since the Demon Emperor was the daughter of the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor certainly wouldn’t let His Majesty die.
With His Majesty facing tribulation, success was almost guaranteed, and there was no need for her to worry.
Once Purple Lightning realized this, her disappointed expression disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared on her face.
Indeed, she had not verified Lin Yun’s identity, but all kinds of verification might lie, except for bloodline, which never did.
"You may make another request."
Lin Yun showed his generosity.
When making wishes, people often choose something they hope to resolve but either cannot or are temporarily unable to address themselves; the intelligence they want to gather might be hidden in those wishes.
This question, however, stumped Purple Lightning.
The things she wanted to do but couldn’t were limited; one was to assist His Majesty in waking up, another was to eliminate the traitors, and the last was to achieve another breakthrough in strength.
These were all things she was incapable of.
But since Lin Yun had already shown reluctance to help His Majesty wake up, he naturally wouldn’t clear out traitors either, and as for the last matter of improving strength...
That was even harder.
Purple Lightning racked her brain, feeling that failing to make a good request clearly would waste this opportunity, but she couldn’t possibly be so brazen as to ask the Demon Ancestor to wait for her to think it over.
Suddenly, inspiration struck her, and she said piously, "Purple Lightning has long admired the great reputation of the Demon Ancestor and would be honored if you would allow me to serve by your side."
What a brilliant idea it was, pleasing the Demon Ancestor, not wasting the request, and by staying by the Demon Ancestor’s side for longer, she could potentially fulfill her three needs and perhaps gain even more.
I’m a genius!
Lin Yun too was stunned on the spot; was this really a request that could be made?
You’re seriously impressive.
Lin Yun was pondering how to politely decline Purple Lightning’s request when she made one that he couldn’t refuse.
Indeed, sometimes I need not think too hard because others will come up with solutions for me.
This is what it means to be the Child of Heavenly Mandate!
Lin Yun was ecstatic inwardly, though his face remained impassive as he said, "Very well, since you’ve asked, then follow by my side for now. I have many matters I can’t attend to personally, so you’ll handle them on my behalf."
"Thank you, Demon Ancestor."
Purple Lightning was overjoyed. The Dragon Lord wanted to learn from her and was about to speak when Lin Yun said, "Don’t bother making the same request as her, think of something else!"
The Dragon Lord felt a chill inside, realizing that Lin Yun had seen right through her thoughts; the Demon Ancestor was indeed formidable.
Seeming unremarkable but also returning to simplicity.
Inside, she felt some regret, while Purple Lightning thought this was more befitting of the Demon Ancestor.
Not just anyone was entitled to serve the Demon Ancestor; she was of noble blood, having ascended to become a Demon Lord due to the blood of the Demon Emperor, basically sharing the bloodline of the Demon Ancestor, whereas the Dragon Lord was merely a traitor of lowly blood, unworthy of serving the Demon Ancestor.
She had no idea that Lin Yun felt that convincing just one person was enough, since it’s easier to manipulate a single person.
"I request the assistance of the Demon Ancestor to help me achieve a breakthrough,"
the Dragon Lord stated straightforwardly.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yun’s blood might have been useful to her, but now, Lin Yun dared not let his own blood.
Helping the Dragon Lord increase her cultivation level was absolutely impossible.
But Lin Yun wouldn’t admit his own inability.
He wouldn’t have a problem, if there was a problem it must be with the Dragon Lord herself.
Lin Yun said airily, "It seems you’ve forgotten that you are from the Dragon Clan."
If these words had come from someone else’s mouth, the Dragon Lord would have taken them as a joke, but when they came from Lin Yun, the Dragon Lord had to ponder their implications carefully.
Upon reflection, she immediately thought of the most fundamental principle of the Dragon Clan.
It was precisely because they didn’t trust in fate or believe that bloodline determined everything that the Dragon Clan had the Dragon Transformation Art, and the existence of the Azure Dragon and Ancestor Bai.
She was a dragon, aspiring to ascend to a Heavenly Dragon, yet she was not relying on her own efforts but wished to use the power of someone else’s bloodline to break through, wasn’t this a fundamental denial of the Dragon Clan’s beliefs?
For a moment, the words that Lin Yun had uttered exploded in her mind like Shocking Thunder.
Her breakthrough to become a Heavenly Dragon could only rely on her own indomitable spirit, not on someone else.
"I understand now,"
the Dragon Lord said, somewhat dazed.
Lin Yun didn’t know what exactly she had understood, but he said with satisfaction, "It’s good that you’ve realized."
Thus, it was no longer appropriate for the Dragon Lord to make another request.
Subordinates in the presence of superiors often act with caution and care, while Lin Yun could be more casual. He could announce another condition or choose to say nothing.
And when he chose not to speak, the Dragon Lord could not make her request.
"There has been a change in that direction,"
Lin Yun abruptly changed the subject and pointed in the direction he had come from, which was precisely where the barrier was located.
As soon as he said this, Purple Lightning immediately responded, "Has the barrier started to loosen?"
"It’s not just loosening, the barrier no longer exists."
Lin Yun’s answer excited Purple Lightning greatly.
During the war between Demons and Gods, the Demon Emperor was injured in the Primordial Realm, so perhaps the missing Heart of the Demon Emperor was left in the Primordial Realm.
The opening of the barrier, didn’t that exactly indicate that the time for the Demon Emperor’s resurrection had come?
Indeed, the Demon Ancestor was still concerned about his daughter.
However, in the next second, Lin Yun commanded, "You must guard this secret. It’s not yet time to go there."
Dragon Lord: "..."
Purple Lightning: "..."
At the critical moment, it was Purple Lightning who would brainstorm.
She thought carefully about why it was ’not yet the time.’ Surely, it was because the Demon Emperor Your Majesty had not yet awakened.
If the disappearance of the Four Spirits Barrier became known to those two who plotted to seize the position of the Demon Emperor, they would certainly seize this opportunity to stir up trouble, making the defense by her and Qing Shuang even more difficult.
Conversely, with the two realms interconnected, the Heart of the Demon Emperor that was lost in the Primordial Realm would surely be attracted and return within the body of the Demon Emperor.
When the Demon Emperor awakens, the moment to take over the Primordial Realm will also have arrived.
Truly deserving of being the Demon Ancestor!
