Chapter 125: Chapter 91: Shen Feiyang: What! You Want Me to Go Undercover in the Black Lotus Sect?

"That can’t be, right? It shouldn’t be, right?" Shen Feiyang wondered.

"I’m sorry, Student Shen Feiyang. I wrongly accused you just now," Yu Tianqi said. "Although you don’t look like a good person on the outside, your heart... is cleaner than anyone else’s."

"If you don’t know how to talk, just shut up. What do you mean I don’t look like a good person on the outside?" Shen Feiyang retorted in his thoughts. "If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t beat you, I’d definitely let you know what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong!"

He threw heavy punches in his mind, but outwardly remained meek and submissive. "Lord Yu, you flatter me. People like me are definitely not in the minority in the Immortal Alliance. I am just one of millions of ordinary people."

If you’re going to put on an act, go all the way. At this moment, Shen Feiyang felt like even he was starting to believe the persona he had just established. Empty, high-sounding words flowed easily from his mouth. But very soon, he would pay the price... for his loose lips!

"Good, truly a person of our Luocheng! I wasn’t wrong about you!" Seemingly infected by the righteousness radiating from Shen Feiyang, the hot blood that had long been dormant within Yu Tianqi began to boil once more. He stood up, his two-meter-tall frame towering over Shen Feiyang. With a serious face, he said, "Student Shen Feiyang, if I told you there is a task that, if you take it on, could save Luocheng and even benefit all the citizens of the Immortal Alliance...

"Would you... be willing to do it?"

"Huh?!" Shen Feiyang froze, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, there’s a problem with this old man’s expression! Why does it feel like I’m being sent to my death? Can I refuse? It seems there’s no way to refuse now..." he thought. After all, he had already pushed this great and righteous persona so far. If he refused now, wouldn’t his character completely collapse, slapping his own face?

Thinking of this, Shen Feiyang had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Lord Yu, please speak. As long as it benefits Luocheng and even the Immortal Alliance, I, Shen Feiyang, will never make excuses. Reforging the glory of Xianluo City is my generation’s inescapable duty!"

"Sob..." Shen Feiyang cried internally. "If the future of the Immortal Alliance can only rely on a Black Lotus Cultist like me, then its future... is truly pitch-black."

Yu Tianqi couldn’t hear Shen Feiyang’s inner thoughts; he only saw the righteous aura radiating from him at this moment. So he immediately stepped forward, clasping Shen Feiyang’s hands tightly in both of his own, and said solemnly, "Student Shen Feiyang, on behalf of Luocheng and all the citizens of the Immortal Alliance, I pay you my highest respects.

"Having you... is the Immortal Alliance’s great fortune."

"No, no, no, don’t be like this! The more you act like this, the more terrified I get!" Shen Feiyang panicked. For a split second, he was even ready to lay his cards on the table with Yu Tianqi, feeling that if he kept up this act, something terrible was genuinely going to happen.

But before he could confess, Yu Tianqi beat him to the punch.

"Student Shen Feiyang, I want you to join the Black Lotus Sect. I’m begging you."

"Huh?!" Shen Feiyang’s eyes widened, staring at Yu Tianqi in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, Yu Tianqi reiterated, "Student Shen Feiyang, I hope you... will join the Black Lotus Sect."

"I didn’t mishear that, did I? I definitely didn’t mishear that," Shen Feiyang thought. A bigshot from the Mountain and Sea Bureau was currently earnestly begging a Black Lotus Cultist... to join the Black Lotus Sect.

"Well, what a coincidence! Join? Join what? I’m already a member!"

In a flash, Shen Feiyang’s brain began to race, analyzing how this would affect him. "It seems... there are nothing but benefits! After all, this is the authorities officially asking me to join, not me wanting to join on my own accord!"

Realizing this, Shen Feiyang immediately put on a solemn face and looked at Yu Tianqi. "Lord Yu, do you mean... you want me to go undercover in the Black Lotus Sect?"

Yu Tianqi nodded.

"Why choose me?"

Yu Tianqi looked at him and said, "Because you are all alone, with no familial ties to worry about.

"Because your Cultivation Technique is unique, allowing you to easily blend in with them.

"And lastly, because of your burning heart of justice. I believe you won’t lose yourself to their corruption.

"So, Student Shen Feiyang, are you willing?"

"Willing? I’m way too willing!" Shen Feiyang cheered internally. Though he wanted to agree on the spot, he knew that times like this required maximum restraint. After all, his persona absolutely could not collapse!

"Lord Yu, how long do you need me to stay undercover?"

Yu Tianqi held up three fingers. "Three years. Just three years. I guarantee that within three years, I will pull you out of the Black Lotus Sect safely.

"Not only that, but once you return, the Immortal Alliance will provide you with the best treatment. Cultivation Techniques, Divine Techniques, Cultivation resources—as long as you can think of it, the Immortal Alliance will give it to you."

"Damn, it’s that good?" Shen Feiyang thought.

Suppressing the corners of his mouth that were threatening to curl upward, he asked seriously, "Then how will I prove my identity? I’m worried others will genuinely treat me like the Evil Demons and Heretic Dao of the Black Lotus Sect..."

Hearing this, the look in Yu Tianqi’s eyes softened even more. His words made his intentions clear: he had already agreed to take on the highly dangerous job of acting as an undercover agent in the Black Lotus Sect.

"Rest assured, not only will the Mountain and Sea Bureau keep your file, but it will be classified at the absolute highest level. Only the upper echelons of the Mountain and Sea Bureau will have access to it.

"If the Black Lotus Sect somehow manages to obtain this file, it would mean that the Mountain and Sea Bureau, and even the entire Immortal Alliance, are not far from total destruction.

"So, you don’t need to worry about anyone on our side leaking your information.

"In addition, I will give you a method unique to the Mountain and Sea Bureau. With it, I can guarantee that under specific circumstances, you will instantly be recognized by Mountain and Sea Bureau personnel.

"However, I must warn you: I suspect there are Black Lotus Sect moles within the Mountain and Sea Bureau as well. I don’t know exactly who they are yet, so unless absolutely necessary, I hope you won’t reveal this method lightly."
