My Immortal Master Forced Me to Go Undercover in the Demonic Sect – Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Chapter Twenty-One Demands
“Xiao Han, what did you want to talk about?”
“That, that…” The little fox became even more shy, feeling her face burn.
“I’m listening,” Ye Changsheng replied with a smile.
“Changsheng, take me with you!” The little fox finally spoke her heart’s desire, “Take me away from Qixia Isle!”
“You don’t want to stay here?”
“In the past, I was just a helpless wanderer, burdened by family hatred and with no hope for the future. But Changsheng helped me, cooperated with me, and gave me a chance for revenge. In the end, I avenged my family, entered the True Immortal Realm, became the leader of the Demon Race, and Changsheng fulfilled my wish.”
“Because I promised you before, as long as you didn’t betray me, I would assist you.” Ye Changsheng still remembered this. In the past, the little fox had opportunities to betray Ye Changsheng, facing several choices, but she never did. Perhaps it was her naivete, or perhaps her foolishness, so Ye Changsheng kept his promise and would protect her.
“I want to repay Changsheng…”
“I don’t need repayment,” Ye Changsheng said directly. “I’ve also achieved my own goals.”
The little fox continued stubbornly.

“Changsheng, please, take me with you!”
“The reason?”
“My aptitude is exceptional. In the ten years you were gone, I reached the True Immortal Realm. I am of the Frozen Sky Fox Royal Family; this bloodline is very close to Sacred Spirits, with limitless future prospects and an extremely high ceiling!” the little fox said proudly. “My future is promising!”
Ye Changsheng already had a premonition of what the little fox was about to say.
Ye Changsheng said, “In the coming period, the Myriad Worlds will undergo drastic changes. This Star Domain will experience immense turmoil. If you choose to leave here, you will be throwing yourself into the vortex.”
“No!”
“Be good, listen,” Ye Changsheng walked over, intending to pat the little fox’s head to soothe her emotions. This tactic was usually very effective, and the little fox couldn’t resist it.
But the little fox actually dodged him, retreating several steps. “No, no, I just don’t want to!”
“Xiao Han, I just praised you. Why are you acting like a child now? You’re not acting like an Immortal.”
“Changsheng, I need to point out one thing you’ve done wrong.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Because you have already fulfilled my initial request, and you have obtained the Heavenly Extreme Sword Heart, our cooperative relationship is over. I am not the same as I was before; there is no need to obey your commands,” the little fox said solemnly.
Ye Changsheng was amused by the little fox’s logic. It seemed to be true; he could no longer bind her.
“You seem to have a point? Since that’s the case, we are now on equal footing. I will listen carefully to your request and then make a rational judgment based on whether I can gain benefits.”
“Changsheng, use me,” the little fox’s gaze was fervent. “Just like before, let’s form a partnership again. I will become Changsheng’s tool, and Changsheng should make good use of me!”
“This…”
“Changsheng must be planning to do something big, right? How can you achieve that without useful tools?” the little fox said.
When Ye Changsheng thought about it, it was indeed true. He remembered the Panda and Wang Xiaoshan who used to follow him; they were both troublemakers who only caused issues. And when he was on Qixia Isle, Ye Changsheng had Zhong Yanhan by his side, who obeyed his every command, making everything much more convenient.
“I am the most suitable tool for Changsheng. I dare say there is no one else in this world more suitable to be used by Changsheng than me!” The little fox was very proud of this.
Although her words sounded strange, Ye Changsheng actually agreed.
“Xiao Han, since we’re cooperating, you’ll be my tool, and I’ll benefit. Where is your benefit?”
“I actually, just…” The little fox seemed embarrassed. “Changsheng, I have a condition!”
“What condition?”
“After you achieve your goal, I have a request that you must fulfill for me…” The little fox’s voice grew softer, sounding very guilty.
“What is the goal?”
“I-I won’t tell you!”
“Xiao Han, if you don’t tell me the content, I can’t assess the potential risks to decide whether to cooperate with you?” Ye Changsheng said.
“Wuwuwu…”
“I don’t accept acting cute to get your way.”
“Changsheng, I can’t tell you the content now, but it’s something you can easily do. It won’t harm others’ interests, nor is it evil. It will bring you many benefits,” the little fox’s wording was vague.
“That sounds very suspicious.”
From the little fox’s demeanor, Ye Changsheng had a pretty good idea of what her request was.
“It’s not suspicious, really not suspicious!” the little fox argued. “Changsheng, just accept it; it’s beneficial and harmless to you!”
Ye Changsheng pondered for a while.
“I need to test you. Since you want to be a tool, there’s a saying about how useful a tool is. If it’s a shoddy tool, it will only bring me trouble.”
Ye Changsheng raised his hand and broke off a bamboo branch from the bamboo grove. Just like before, he stood in front of the little fox, holding it, and assumed a stance.
“Let me see how strong you are now; I’ll make a judgment.”
“…I understand!”
The little fox transformed back into human form and took out her immortal weapon, a sword, which was ice-attributed. It seemed she had refined it herself with considerable effort.
“Just like before, let’s decide with a fight.”
“Is it okay to fight here?” Ye Changsheng asked. They were both Immortals now, and their battles could be world-ending. The White Emperor Sword Sect would suffer undeserved disaster.
“Don’t worry, Changsheng; I’ve already made arrangements.”
Ye Changsheng looked around and saw a formation. If activated, this space would peel away, forming a small world. As long as the battle was contained, it wouldn’t affect the outside.
“Did you set this up here?”
“Changsheng, I didn’t set it up in advance. I deployed it casually when I followed you in, just like you used to,” the little fox said with a smile. “It only took a little effort.”
Previously, Ye Changsheng had set up formations using footwork, and now the little fox had learned it with purpose.
“The word ‘little effort’ is quite meaningful; it deserves praise.”
The little fox and Ye Changsheng entered a small world.
The battle began.
The little fox moved with agility, engaging Ye Changsheng in close-quarters combat with their swords. They began to spar. The little fox’s swordsmanship was excellent, possessing immense pressure. Sword Light surrounded Ye Changsheng, launching a considerable number of attacks in a very short time. Ye Changsheng defended, using the bamboo branch to parry the little fox’s Sword Light while searching for her openings.
“Although your swordsmanship has greatly improved, your flaws are still not hidden!” Ye Changsheng swung the bamboo branch, unleashing a sharp gust of wind towards her.
A look of shock appeared on the little fox’s face. She was about to be sent flying.
Unexpectedly, Ye Changsheng’s attack missed. He realized it was intentional on the little fox’s part. A Sword Light descended from above, catching him off guard, forcing him into a defensive posture.
Swish!
The bamboo branch in Ye Changsheng’s hand snapped.
“You fell for it, Changsheng!” the little fox pursued her advantage.
Ye Changsheng quickly broke off another bamboo branch and held it as his weapon. Seemingly full of flaws, they were actually all traps. Furthermore, the sword slashes from the little fox distorted space, creating cracks. Anyone who got close would be forcibly pulled in and torn apart upon contact. This was already swordsmanship that reached the principles of laws. The little fox’s mastery of swordsmanship had improved immensely. The swordsmanship that Sword Saint Fan Lin of the Northern Region spent his entire life comprehending had not even come close to this realm, yet the little fox had achieved it in ten years. This was the gap in potential between cultivators; the Frozen Sky Fox bloodline gave her a significant advantage.
“Alas, I’ve neglected my swordsmanship these past years, and I’m being suppressed,” Ye Changsheng lamented, being cornered by the little fox again.
At this moment, the little fox raised her sword and attacked. It seemed Ye Changsheng could easily block it and counter. But suddenly, he felt a familiar sensation; this starting move seemed to be…
“Not good.”
Ye Changsheng used the Immortal-Stepping Steps, instantly creating distance.
“Return to the Void!”
The little fox unleashed a black singularity, forming a massive black vortex that devoured everything drawn into it. If Ye Changsheng hadn’t moved swiftly, he might have been caught.
“Alas, what a shame!! I had hidden my intentions!” the little fox complained.
“Xiao Han, you’ve even learned this move?” Ye Changsheng was somewhat surprised.
“Yes, Master Little White taught me?”
“Master Little White?” Ye Changsheng remembered that before leaving Qixia Isle, he had asked his Master to teach the little fox a few things. It seemed his Master had been diligently fulfilling his request.
“Mo Baizhi doesn’t like me, nor does she like me calling her Master Little White,” the little fox said. “But I’ve learned a lot from her, like Changsheng’s ultimate move.”
“This is truly… unreasonable,” Ye Changsheng marveled.
“What do you say, Changsheng? Why don’t you concede?” the little fox smiled. “So you don’t lose too embarrassingly later.”
“Embarrassingly? Xiao Han, you’re overthinking. That was just me playing around. You don’t seriously think an Immortal’s battle is only this intense, do you?”
Green grass sprouted beneath Ye Changsheng’s feet, blossoming with white flowers, transforming into a sea of blossoms. A gentle breeze blew, scattering pure white petals everywhere, covering the entire space. Before the little fox could react, she was surrounded by towering ancient trees, forming a unique Dao Image world.
“The fun is over, Xiao Han,” Ye Changsheng said.
