The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 822 - 328: The Marvelous Uses of a Diary

Wang Wanqiu’s initial objective was indeed to go undercover, and this led her right next to the leader of the Demon Race’s Tenth Legion—a significant gain indeed.

But why didn’t she feel any happiness about it?

Wang Wanqiu felt that the customs and ways of the Demon Race were too simple.

While operating as an undercover agent within the Demon Race was actually easier than being undercover in the Demon Sect. Back then she wanted to infiltrate the side of Dongfang Hongyue by undercovering in the White Lotus Sect, which involved a lot of effort, including cross-dressing and bribing through gifts to win the favor of elders in the White Lotus Sect to finally gain an identity and mix in.

Then, arriving in the Demon Land, just by saying a few simple words, the Dragon Lord wanted to take her to meet the Demon Emperor.

And also the Demon Ancestor.

Originally, Wang Wanqiu dared to attempt an assassination on Dongfang Hongyue in the Enlightened Realm with her strength in the God Storing Realm. Over a year passed, and she reached the Defiant Heavenly Realm, but by this time, she no longer dared to attempt assassinating the Demon Emperor or the Demon Ancestor.

After all, she had grown. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Now, she just wanted to find Lin Yun.

Alas, she searched all over Dragon City but couldn’t find Lin Yun.

Wang Wanqiu recognized Lin Yun’s capabilities highly—if Lin Yun was truly in Dragon City, even if it was only for a day, and she couldn’t find him, he would come looking for her.

Yet a day passed, and Lin Yun made no movement, which could only mean that Lin Yun was simply not in Dragon City.

Wang Wanqiu could only hope that Lin Yun would find an opportunity to go to the Demon Capital from some other place; meeting up there would be best.

It seemed, with Lin Yun’s intelligence and wits, if he wanted to disrupt the waters of the Demon Race and delay their invasion, he would definitely go to the Demon Capital.

After this realization, Wang Wanqiu felt no resistance to follow the Dragon Lord to the Demon Capital.

In fact, she couldn’t resist.

The next morning, Wang Wanqiu set off for the Demon Capital with the team. The Dragon Lord led at a fast pace, which somewhat reassured her.

You see, the Mortal Realm was facing a great calamity with devastating floods that could evolve into even more severe disasters.

And Qian Qian, one of the three main pillars, had also encountered an inexplicable situation, and it was uncertain how much longer Qian Qian could last; Wang Wanqiu only hoped to find Lin Yun as soon as possible.

Perhaps feeling bored along the way, the Dragon Lord suddenly spoke up, "It is said that previously, the Demon Land couldn’t see the moon or the sun. We used to distinguish day from night solely based on the surge of Demonic Qi. But after it rained, the moon appeared and the Demonic Qi no longer surged. Truly a strange occurrence."

You Mei and Wang Wanqiu were immediately at the Dragon Lord’s sides, and of course, they couldn’t just ignore this topic—they couldn’t allow the Dragon Lord to feel snubbed.

But how should they respond?

While You Mei was still pondering, Wang Wanqiu directly asked: "If there was no sun or moon here, why is each day still referred to as a day and night?"

Good heavens, not only did she not respond to the Dragon Lord’s leading questions, she instead took the initiative to question the Dragon Lord. This person couldn’t possibly be from a small village; she must have a close relationship with the Dragon Lord!

Since that is the case, it is better to build a good relationship with her, which might also let the Dragon Lord know of my loyalty.

You Mei made up her mind and pricked up her ears, wanting to hear how the Dragon Lord would answer this question.

Wang Wanqiu indeed stumped the Dragon Lord.

Actually, she also didn’t know why, despite there being no sun in the Demon Land, the changes of the day were still called day and night.

She came from a defection from the Dragon Clan where naturally there were the sun and the moon. After coming to the Demon Land, the terminology did not change and she took it for granted, having never ventured to ponder why day and night were still referred to as such.

This Wang Wanqiu, this Great Demon, really looks at issues from a tricky angle.

But posing a question that His Majesty didn’t know, don’t you realize it could make His Majesty feel embarrassed!

The Dragon Lord was secretly annoyed but still wore a kind smile, saying, "This question is very meaningful. You Mei, what do you think?"

You Mei, caught off guard by the sudden shift to her, appeared slightly confused, "What is a sun?"

Dragon Lord: "..."

This silly girl, doesn’t even know about the sun, isn’t the sun just...

As Dragon Lord thought of this, she suddenly discovered something amiss.

It was precisely because the Demon Land has no sun, and most of the Demon Race wouldn’t know of the sun’s existence, like You Mei who was also oblivious.

Dragon Lord knew about the sun because she was a defector from the Mortal Realm to the Demon Race.

Yet, Wang Wanqiu could ask such a question, indicating she knew of the sun’s existence.

Damn, she almost fooled me!

Dragon Lord sensitively sensed Wang Wanqiu’s lineage and confirmed she indeed belonged to the Demon Race, but what exactly was amiss about her?

Wang Wanqiu’s gaze grew deeper, her lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a dangerous arc.

"I was almost deceived by you. Speak now, what exactly is your background and what purpose do you have lurking around me!"

Dragon Lord decided to deal with Wang Wanqiu in the simplest and most brutal manner, releasing the Demon Monarch’s imposing pressure without any reservation, something Wang Wanqiu could not resist.

She felt her body freezing, unable to move, let alone resist.

You Mei looked utterly befuddled, unaware of why Dragon Lord suddenly attacked Wang Wanqiu.

Meanwhile, Wang Wanqiu still kept a clear head; the moment she heard You Mei questioning what the sun was, she knew she had misspoken.

How careless, she had overlooked that the demons of the Demon Land had never seen the sun and didn’t even know what the sun was.

So, why did she allow herself to be curious just now?

Now, she had aroused Dragon Lord’s suspicions. If she couldn’t handle this, forget about finding Lin Yun to rescue Qian Qian and the world – she might even lose her own life here.

Wang Wanqiu’s mind raced as she pondered ways to save her own life when suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I actually returned to Demon Land from outside the barrier. The Demon Race has been oppressed in the Mortal Realm for years, and I have always been determined to forge glory for the Demon Race there, but I’ve been alone and without success.

Only recently did I discover the Four Spirits Barrier had been opened, and I took the risk to return to Demon Land just to convey an important message, the Human Race is currently weak, and it’s a great opportunity to strike at them. If you do not believe me, I have a diary as evidence!"

Only then did Dragon Lord release the restraint on Wang Wanqiu, extending her hand and saying, "Let me have a look."

Wang Wanqiu had no choice but to produce the Sacred Demon’s Manual.

This was something Lin Yun had given her, and she had always kept it with her. She wouldn’t have produced it if it weren’t a matter of life and death.

Having the Sacred Demon’s Manual, along with her previous explanation, should make her case more convincing.

Upon learning that Wang Wanqiu had traveled here from the other side of the barrier, Dragon Lord thought it through, piecing everything together.

It seemed she really misunderstood, from beginning to end, it was she who had forcefully dragged Wang Wanqiu with her.

At this thought, Dragon Lord felt slightly embarrassed, and to cover her awkwardness, she began to read the Sacred Demon’s Manual.

Once she started, she couldn’t stop.

Wu Xin’s diary was definitely written earnestly, detailing her grievances and acts of revenge against others. The tone was overly serious, but the methods described were amusingly ridiculous, causing even the Dragon Lord to burst into uncontrollable laughter.

She had found today’s source of joy.

The journey suddenly became less boring.

She did not bother Wang Wanqiu anymore but continued to laugh while clinging to the Sacred Demon’s Manual.

Unknowingly, the Demon Eagle they summoned had already flown to the Demon Capital.

Dragon Lord, still captivated by the Sacred Demon’s Manual, eventually put it away and said to Wang Wanqiu, "Having read your diary, I do believe in your loyalty to the Demon Race. Since it’s so, I happen to be visiting Demon Venerable Purple Lightning tomorrow, and also have an audience with the Demon Emperor. If there’s a chance, I’ll mention your situation to Demon Venerable Purple Lightning, and she might even introduce you to His Majesty."

Wang Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only had she resolved the crisis, but she now had an opportunity to face the Demon Emperor.

She had to seize this opportunity, regardless of whether she could find Lin Yun or not. Having a better status among the Demon Race would give her an additional card to play when dealing with their future invasion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After expressing her gratitude, Wang Wanqiu eagerly eyed the Sacred Demon’s Manual.

She wanted it back.

But the Dragon Lord had not finished looking at it, so how could he return it.

The Dragon Lord earnestly said, "This will stay with me for now as a piece of evidence, you just need to be patient."

Wang Wanqiu had no choice but to comply.

The Dragon Lord then took them to the residence of Demon Venerable Purple Lightning, who could now be considered the leader among the Four Great Demon Venerables, as she was the only one who had bet on the right treasure.

When she learned that Qing Shuang Demon Venerable was actually an undercover agent for Red Silk Demon Venerable and Demon Venerable You Lan, Purple Lightning was also frightened.

If not for the covert aid of the Demon Ancestor, she would definitely have been doomed.

But there were no what-ifs in this matter.

From the beginning, she was destined to win.

The Demon Emperor was the daughter of the Demon Ancestor; what parents would let their child run into trouble?

What seemed like a trial was actually protected by hidden powers, even more so this time with her father personally stepping in.

The other three Demon Venerables had neglected this point, attempting to harm the Demon Emperor, and now with the Demon Emperor awakened and the Demon Ancestor returned, their plans had turned into nothing. They are now living in daily tension, fearing the Demon Emperor might settle scores in the autumn.

Unlike Purple Lightning, she could walk confidently.

Such was the audacity of a loyal minister.

With the backing of the top leader, she could challenge anyone.

The Purple Lightning that the Dragon Lord saw now was indeed that spirited.

Seeing the arrival of the Dragon Lord, Purple Lightning displayed a smile, exchanging a few cordial words, before inviting the Dragon Lord to sit. You Mei and Wang Wanqiu stood behind the Dragon Lord.

"Is this your new maidservant?"

Purple Lightning recognized You Mei, a lucky Demon who had previously led the way for the Demon Ancestor, but Wang Wanqiu was an unfamiliar face, which led to this question.

The Dragon Lord just happened to want to introduce Wang Wanqiu and earnestly said, "She is not my maidservant, but rather a highly loyal Great Demon. She has returned from the Mortal Realm, and before this, she..."

The Dragon Lord summarized what he had read in the book, excluding the parts about being beaten and seeking revenge. Without heart, quite a lot had been done after all.

Purple Lightning was deeply moved by hearing about Wang Wanqiu’s deeds.

She also remembered what Lin Yun had mentioned before about the timing of deploying troops.

Previously, when the Demon Emperor had not awakened, the time was not right. Now, a loyal minister returning from the Mortal Realm brought news of the weakened state of humanity, while the Demon Land was at its peak—wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?

Realizing this, Purple Lightning immediately stood up and said, "This is a matter of great importance. I will immediately write a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor, presenting the deeds of this righteous person for His Majesty to decide."

Excited, the Dragon Lord felt that she had a keen eye for people. She was associated with Purple Lightning, and as Purple Lightning rose in power, her own status also elevated.

However, a demon can’t afford to sit idle. She had to establish more merits.

Recommending Wang Wanqiu was a merit, and leading the charge against the Mortal Realm was also counted as a merit.

With the past encounter with the Demon Ancestor, mixing in the Demon Land in the future without worrying about a backer was no longer a problem.

"Submit this journal as well!"

At this moment, the Dragon Lord was not stingy, Wang Wanqiu looked pained, but she did not dare to say anything and could only let her most treasured possession be taken away.

But this was a necessary sacrifice.

For Qian Qian, and for the Mortal Realm which was about to face a cataclysmic disaster.

The memorial and Sacred Demon’s Manual were sent to the Emperor’s Imperial Palace by Purple Lightning’s trusted subordinates. At this time, the atmosphere inside the palace was not harmonious.

Lin Yiyi and Wu Xin, one on each side, clung to Lin Yun’s arms, infuriating Zhen Li to the point she wished she could crush these two daughters into a bundle and redo them.

Two daughters vying for affection, leaving no place for her as their mother.

How infuriating!

As for Hu Yuling, she knew better than to act up in front of Lin Yun.

"Yiyi, after the celebration, I’ll be heading back."

As Lin Yun spoke, Zhen Li immediately echoed, "I’ll go back with you."

"I’m going too!"

Lin Yiyi, not to be outdone, displayed her clinginess, which of course made Zhen Li even less assured about her following Lin Yun back.

"You are the Demon Emperor, meant to govern the Demon Race in the Demon Land; how can you act recklessly?"

Zhen Li’s words made Lin Yun see her in a new light; it seemed she had learned to pressure others with righteousness during their time apart.

But Lin Yiyi was not a pushover either, she countered, "And you, as the Demon Ancestor, shouldn’t you consider the future of the Demon Race? In my opinion, you should also stay in the Demon Land, either we both go, or we both stay!"

Zhen Li realized that Lin Yiyi was pushed to the brink, seeking a desperate resolution.

Zhen Li could only pitifully look at Lin Yun: look at your daughter!

Lin Yiyi also pitifully looked at her, her eyes equally accusatory.

"Look at your wife!"

Lin Yun felt a headache coming.

To think that for all these years, he effortlessly resolved every Shura Field he encountered, but now in the Demon Land, he was caught in the Shura Field between mother and daughter.

It wasn’t just Lin Yiyi and Zhen Li vying for affection; Wu Xin and Lin Yiyi were also competing, making Lin Yun feel utterly exhausted.

This might be the most challenging moment of his undercover mission.

Who would have thought that the drama after defeating the BOSS would be the hardest, uh, there was no BOSS this time.

Just when Lin Yun was at a loss, a Demon Soldier outside the hall loudly announced, "Demon Venerable Purple Lightning has a memorial to submit!"

This interruption was indeed timely.

Without waiting for Lin Yiyi to speak, Lin Yun hastily called out, "Bring it here quickly!"

The Demon Soldier then handed over a folded memorial and a bamboo slip.

This bamboo slip, Lin Yun felt somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Wu Xin’s face turned dark.

She couldn’t be mistaken—this was her diary. Why was her diary here?

The Demon Soldier delivered the memorial into Lin Yun’s hands, while Lin Yiyi reached out for the bamboo slip...
