My Immortal Master Forced Me to Go Undercover in the Demonic Sect – Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 41 Sleep Talk (Monthly Ticket Bonus)
Ye Changsheng sprang into action.
Spiritual Power gathered at his fingertips, and with lightning speed, he produced a Talisman and flung it towards Luo Yingying, infusing it with Spiritual Power on her.
Simultaneously, Ye Changsheng began to move, employing his movement technique to evade the falling debris and reach Luo Lihong’s side.
Ye Changsheng’s arm hooked around Luo Lihong’s slender waist, pulling the peerless beauty into his embrace. Together, they plummeted into the darkness below.
…
“Where is this?”
Ye Changsheng produced a Magical Artifact for illumination, attempting to light up their surroundings.
Everything was shrouded in pitch darkness, and even Ye Changsheng had no idea where he and Luo Lihong had fallen.
It was as if a Restriction was in effect here, preventing the use of the Art of Immaterial Control for flight. The Secret Realm had not yet been dispelled.
The Thousand-branch Spirit Jade was also nowhere to be found.
Through the tracking Talisman he had thrown earlier, Ye Changsheng could locate Luo Yingying’s position.
Ye Changsheng’s gaze shifted downwards, to Luo Lihong lying on the ground.
“Mmm… Ah…”
Luo Lihong curled up in distress, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably as a surge of Spiritual Power, far beyond her capacity, raged violently within her.
This was clearly a sign of qi deviation, just like the last time. Without someone to assist her, Luo Lihong would perish here.
There was little fluctuation in Ye Changsheng’s expression as he squatted down.
He placed his hand on Luo Lihong’s body, beginning a thorough examination of her form.
Luo Lihong was in a terrible state, having fallen unconscious, no different from a low-level Cultivator.
No matter what Ye Changsheng did, she could not resist.
Ye Changsheng’s Spiritual Power infiltrated Luo Lihong’s body, disguising itself as ordinary Spiritual Power, circulating within her Meridians, avoiding the abnormally violent and overbearing Spiritual Power.
After some time, Ye Changsheng’s Spiritual Power finally entered Luo Lihong’s Spiritual Sea.
“This…”
Ye Changsheng was surprised.
Within Luo Lihong’s Spiritual Sea, there truly existed a peculiar divine flower.
The divine flower exuded an ancient aura, seemingly everlasting, having witnessed countless ages and histories. Even Ye Changsheng could not glimpse its true essence.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this must be the Heartbreak Flower.
This Spiritual Sea, which should only be of Integration Stage capacity, under the influence of the Heartbreak Flower, was radiating an aura surpassing the True Immortal Realm.
Such an incredibly potent treasure could not possibly originate from the foundations of Qixia Isle!
No wonder Luo Lihong’s strength was so formidable.
But it was precisely because of this that Luo Lihong, despite her Integration Stage cultivation, had attempted to control such a treasure, exceeding her limits. This resulted in the spiritual power rampage that led to her qi deviation and endangered her life.
It was utterly irrational.
The Spiritual Sea was filled with an unbearable sense of heartbreak, and even a sliver of its aura inflicted immense Pain upon Ye Changsheng’s spirit.
Perhaps this was the price required to nurture the Heartbreak Flower, a Pain that Luo Lihong had to constantly endure…
Luo Lihong, that lunatic! She truly used her own body as soil to cultivate a Spirit Plant. She must have been completely corrupted by the Heartbreak Flower long ago. Even without the qi deviation, she wouldn’t have lasted much longer.
Ye Changsheng wished to investigate further, but the Heartbreak Flower seemed to detect the anomaly in the Spiritual Power. It bloomed with radiance, shattering Ye Changsheng’s Spiritual Power and bringing his investigation to an end.
“…You’re really crazy.” Ye Changsheng looked at Luo Lihong and said.
“Mmm… mmm… Ah…”
Luo Lihong’s delicate face contorted, her lips bitten, and sweat had already soaked her thin clothing, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.
Although her current state was alluring, Ye Changsheng had no interest.
The young man’s finger rested on Luo Lihong’s neck, close to her carotid artery.
Currently, Wuhua Palace Mistress Luo Lihong possessed no ability to resist. On her person was the very Spirit Plant treasure that Ye Changsheng, as an Undercover agent, and his Master, were after –
The Heartbreak Flower.
Although he didn’t know how to extract the Heartbreak Flower yet, Ye Changsheng had a general idea. If he killed Luo Lihong and presented her corpse to his Master, the Master would likely have a way.
The Heartbreak Flower within Luo Lihong’s body was too powerful, even surpassing the True Immortal Realm. Perhaps this was why his Master had sent him to be an Undercover agent, rather than to steal it directly, to avoid unforeseen complications.
This was the best opportunity. Killing Luo Lihong would be as easy as crushing an ant.
“Heh heh.” Ye Changsheng felt like laughing. He was actually hesitating.
Luo Lihong was Luo Yingying’s elder sister, someone Luo Yingying cared for immensely.
If Luo Lihong died, Luo Yingying would be extremely distressed and sad.
Ever since the upheaval in his homeland, in all the intervening years, only two people had treated him with complete sincerity.
The first person was his Master, Mo Baizhi.
And the second person was… Luo Yingying.
Ye Changsheng had always wanted to live a simpler life, and those who were good to him, he would be good to them.
But now, was this the time to be soft-hearted?
“Don’t hesitate.”
Ye Changsheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with ruthless light.
He raised his finger and brought it down towards Luo Lihong’s artery, like a sharp beam of light—
“Qi Zhen… I hate you…” Luo Lihong murmured as if in a dream.
“…!” Ye Changsheng’s finger froze mid-air.
It was merely an inexplicable utterance, yet it shook Ye Changsheng to his core.
Wait, what was Luo Lihong just saying?
Qi Zhen?
How could she know that name?
Ye Changsheng was stunned.
…
Luo Lihong knew her time was drawing short.
Given her physical condition, she absolutely should not be cultivating the Heartbreak Flower.
However, without any powerful figures to protect their sect, they would only be bullied. She had no choice but to resort to this slow form of self-destruction.
Wuhua Palace was not what others imagined, merely a sect of heretics.
The sect harbored a shocking secret. Luo Lihong, as its Sect Master and current successor, bore a great responsibility. She had to fulfill a grand wish that had been passed down through generations.
She had no choice.
As her lifespan neared its end, Luo Lihong occasionally dreamed of strange things.
The protagonists in those dreams were not Luo Lihong herself; they seemed to be the experiences of others.
She didn’t know what they were. Although she seemed to be a bystander, it felt as if she were experiencing them firsthand.
Most of the dreams involved a boy and a girl.
Each time she woke up,
the dreams would become very hazy, making them difficult to recall clearly.
For example, she could never remember the girl’s name, and her appearance was also blurry.
But the boy, she remembered him vividly.
His name was Qi Zhen.
