Chapter 165: Chapter 105: Shen Feiyang: Because I’m Undercover

From this moment on, he was no longer Chen Zhengjie, a teacher at Second High School. He was Missionary No. 4 of the Black Lotus Sect’s Luocheng Branch.

"So... this is your mission, No. 4?"

Just as Chen Zhengjie put on his mask, a voice tinged with complex emotions came from the side. He turned his head, only to see that Shen Feiyang had stepped out of the stairwell at some point.

If it were anyone else, Chen Zhengjie would have attacked immediately. But to Chen Zhengjie, who had already guessed Shen Feiyang’s identity, the two of them... were not enemies. At least, that was what he believed.

Watching Shen Feiyang walk steadily toward him, Chen Zhengjie calmly asked, "What about you? Why aren’t you carrying out your own task? Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Shen Feiyang smiled bitterly to himself.

Yeah, out of all the places to be, why did he have the rotten luck to show up right here?

It was quite a coincidence, actually. Due to his unique Ghost Control methods, his power would be significantly suppressed in places with intense sunlight. Thus, after he had inquired with a teacher at First High School, he was ultimately assigned to help guard the Qilin Statue down here. After all, a place untouched by sunlight like this was the only environment where he could fully exert his power.

Shen Feiyang thought it made sense, so he rushed down to this underground area. But he never expected that the moment he arrived, he would see Luo Yang being stabbed a second time by Chen Zhengjie.

Without overthinking it, Shen Feiyang immediately decided to approach Chen Zhengjie using his identity as No. 10 of the Black Lotus Sect.

Perhaps out of absolute trust in the Vice Sect Leader backing Shen Feiyang, Chen Zhengjie dropped his guard entirely, allowing Shen Feiyang to walk right up beside him.

Looking at Shen Feiyang standing before him, Chen Zhengjie kindly reminded him, "Your identity is quite special, so it’s best not to have too much contact with me to avoid exposing yourself.

"Find an opportunity to go back up early later. I will try my best to—"

Before Chen Zhengjie could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp arrow intent bearing down from above. In a split second, Chen Zhengjie raised his sword horizontally over his head, barely blocking the incoming arrow. However, before he could fully react, a massive Mo Blade cleaved straight toward his face.

Faced with this sudden ambush, Chen Zhengjie managed to narrowly dodge a fatal blow, but his shoulder was still struck.

Chen Zhengjie pulled back to a safe distance. He stared gravely at the Ancient Bow Ghost hanging upside down on the ceiling, and then at the Ancient Sword Ghost standing beside Shen Feiyang. "Why are you doing this?" he asked expressionlessly.

Even at this point, Chen Zhengjie did not doubt Shen Feiyang’s identity. Instead, he wondered if this was a different arrangement from higher up.

In response, Shen Feiyang dropped his usual slacker demeanor. With rare, solemn seriousness, he replied, "Because... I am a mole."

Chen Zhengjie’s pupils shrank. He never expected that Shen Feiyang, the very person inducted into the sect by the Vice Sect Leader, would actually be a mole for the Immortal Alliance.

The sheer implications of this revelation left his brain momentarily short-circuiting.

The Vice Sect Leader, a mole...

Could these two terms actually be linked together?

Without giving Chen Zhengjie much time to think, Shen Feiyang ordered the two Foundation Establishment Stage Evil Ghosts to hold Chen Zhengjie off while he charged fiercely toward the eerie rats gnawing on the Qilin Statue.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhengjie immediately roared, "Don’t even think about ruining my grand plan!"

Chen Zhengjie formed a Sword Pointing gesture, and a sharp Flying Sword instantly shot toward Shen Feiyang.

Shen Feiyang acted as if he didn’t even see it. As he dashed toward the Qilin Statue, he pulled out a massive stack of Talismans from his pocket.

Although he didn’t know what those rats on the Qilin Statue were, he knew the Five Directions Array absolutely could not be broken. Because if the Five Directions Array collapsed, the thousands of people currently inside Luocheng First High School would be in grave danger.

So, between protecting his cover and exposing his identity to save everyone, he decisively chose the latter.

As for whether he could maintain his undercover status in the Black Lotus Sect after today, Shen Feiyang couldn’t care less. He knew that if Yu Tianqi were aware of the current situation, he would definitely support this decision.

Although most of the time he just wanted to be a slacker coasting through life... when given a choice, he could also be the revered hero.

"Sword Ghost, block that sword for me!"

"ROAR!"

The Ancient Sword Ghost let out a bellow, stepping directly between the Flying Sword and Shen Feiyang with its blade held horizontally.

Staring at the eerie rats on the Qilin Statue, Shen Feiyang decisively threw out the Talismans...

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror.

Everything I do is for justice.

The Black Lotus Sect?

Unless I, Shen Feiyang, truly have no other choice... I’d rather die than be a rat in the gutter!!!
