The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 820 - 326: The Path to Finding Lin Yun
"""
When it comes to being undercover, Wang Wanqiu is also a professional.
What is most important for being undercover?
First is the ability to cope with a variety of unexpected situations, and second is enough acting skills to fit the current identity without being discovered.
And what is most important of all, is faith.
When a person is willing to pay any price to accomplish something, their chances of success greatly increase.
In short, Wang Wanqiu totally fits the qualifications of an excellent undercover agent.
The operation plan has been initially drafted, and as Wang Wanqiu crossed over the Great Snow Mountain, she did not encounter a single Demon Race member.
It was also raining heavily in the Demon Land, and under the gloomy sky, one could still see that the rain was red.
However, the water here did not gather into streams after falling, but instead permeated into the soil as if the land here was all-encompassing.
"If the land here really is so miraculous, could it be used to resolve the flood by bringing some back?"
Wang Wanqiu couldn’t help but think of this idea, but quickly cast the thought aside.
The urgent task was to find Lin Yun, convey the message to him, and then return as quickly as possible.
The soil of the Demon Land and such, for now, were not within her ability to care about.
Continuing her journey away from the Great Snow Mountain, Wang Wanqiu still did not see a single Demon Race member.
She had originally thought that upon encountering a Demon Race member, she would seize the chance to get close and blend in, but unexpectedly, not a single one was to be found.
What’s going on here?
Wang Wanqiu always felt something was not right.
The Four Spirits Barrier had already weakened, the Demon Race was already able to cross the border, and people on this side were fully mobilized for battle, but after such a long wait, not a single Demon Race member had appeared.
Instead of waiting for the Demon Race, what arrived was the flood.
It was also thanks to the prior mobilization that the Central Plains Grassland, the Demon Tribe, and the overseas Yuan Family had temporarily formed an alliance, pooling all their strength to face the great flood, which otherwise would have resulted in even more casualties.
Wang Wanqiu had not previously thought about why the Demon Race had not come, but now that she was within the range of the Demon Land and had not seen a single Demon Race member, it was very strange.
"Could it be that the Demon Race of the Demon Land has been exterminated?"
With such doubts, Wang Wanqiu continued northward. She crossed the mountains and arrived at a plain where bones were scattered everywhere, all sorts of bizarre shapes among them, but all had already become corpses, frozen into the ground.
And the blood-red rain was still penetrating into the ground, with no trace to be found.
There was clearly a great secret in the Demon Land!
Just as Wang Wanqiu thought her speculation might not be incorrect, she finally saw a living Demon Race member.
At the edge of the vast plains, a Demon Race army was lined up, spread out as far as the eye could see, forming a wall extending for thousands of miles.
It was either finding none of the Demon Race, or finding countless members all at once.
Just...
It was kind of absurd.
Wang Wanqiu found the Demon Race’s formation even more incomprehensible.
If they intended to invade, they would have adopted a tighter formation; if they were defending, it shouldn’t be so loose.
Precisely because the opponent’s posture was elusive, Wang Wanqiu did not dare to rashly approach.
The other side had too many people, and she still didn’t understand the situation of the Demon Race. She couldn’t rush in recklessly.
Wang Wanqiu observed carefully, looking for loopholes in front of the many Demon Race soldiers.
The Demon Race was also a life form with intelligence. As long as there’s intelligence and emotions, in a sufficiently large group, there will always be some slackers.
Wang Wanqiu was looking for these slackers, and perseverance paid off. After observing nearly a hundred Demon Race members, she finally spotted one dozing off. Seizing this opportunity, Wang Wanqiu dashed past right under his eyelids.
The movement was very slight, but still woke the Demon Race soldier. He looked around left and right, saw nothing unusual, and continued his guard duty.
It was only then that Wang Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, watched for a while longer to ensure there was no issue, and was about to leave. Just as she turned around, she almost bumped into a woman’s embrace.
Wang Wanqiu’s scalp tingled. When did this person appear, and how did she suddenly come up behind her?
"What are you doing here?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Of course, the one asking was not Wang Wanqiu.
Today, the Dragon Lord also felt whimsical and came here on patrol.
This was the Tenth Legion’s camp; Lin Yun had previously arranged for her to keep a strict watch for Demon Race members crossing the line.
"""
At first, Dragon Lord did not take it too seriously, only dispatching a few people to guard the border, not minding much even if a few slipped through.
But as news from Demon Capital came, Dragon Lord became unsettled.
Demon Emperor awakening, Demon Ancestor returning, Demon Lord submitting.
Despite anticipating such events, Dragon Lord was still shocked and bewildered when they actually occurred.
Especially when she discovered there were actually two Demon Ancestors, Dragon Lord was completely dumbfounded.
But then again, thinking about it, the Demon Emperor is the daughter of a Demon Ancestor; naturally, a Demon Ancestor alone cannot give birth to a child.
It seems, regardless of the level of power, all must adhere to this objective law.
Dragon Lord, holding a high position, also had an exceedingly sharp instinct.
Now that the situation had stabilized in the center, it was time for her, as the commander of a local legion, to declare her support.
She had once met Lin Yun and even took on a task from him; that established a kind of bond.
To catch a Demon Ancestor’s eyes once more, she would have to do much more.
Thus, the entire Tenth Legion was dispatched by her to completely cover the border of the barrier, ensuring no Demon Race could cross over.
But today, Dragon Lord suddenly felt this was still insufficient.
She had to patrol daily herself to truly show her commitment to the matter.
Therefore, she came, and just happened to notice a sneaky individual on the borderline, seemingly trying to cross over.
Wang Wanqiu felt a tightness in her heart under the pressure emanating from Dragon Lord.
Having just arrived, she had run into such a powerful enemy.
She was definitely no match.
Fortunately, it seemed there might be room to negotiate with the other party.
"I’m here to find my friend."
Though caught off guard, Wang Wanqiu quickly came up with a plausible excuse.
However, Dragon Lord let out a cold chuckle and said, "You think you can deceive me?"
Wang Wanqiu: "..."
This is bad, was she exposed just like that?
"You think I can’t tell you’re trying to cross the border? Considering it’s your first offense, I won’t bother with you. Now scram!"
Wang Wanqiu: "???"
So I should leave?
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Wang Wanqiu turned around and hurried off.
It seems this leader of the Demon Race didn’t realize she was coming from the other side immediately and wasn’t aware of her origins.
Does this mean the guards also prevent demons from our side from going over there?
Why is that, though?
Wang Wanqiu pondered as she fled clumsily.
She couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation.
Now that she had encountered the people of the Demon Race, she had a deeper understanding of their strength; stumbling upon any member of the Demon Race could mean facing power like Lin Yu’s.
Even more so, the pressure from this Demon was even greater than Lin Yu’s.
How could the Human Race deal with such a powerful Demon Race?
No wonder Lin Yun risked himself so.
Wang Wanqiu didn’t know how fortunate she was to have run into a legion commander.
The first step into infiltration was temporarily successful; now, as long as she found a solitary member of the Demon Race to learn about the Demon Land, she could proceed to look for Lin Yun.
Wang Wanqiu was planning in her mind when soon, she saw a city.
"Dragon City? Could there be dragons in this city?"
Wang Wanqiu murmured to herself, and unexpectedly heard a voice from behind her.
"That’s correct, for it is I."
