Chapter 761: Change of Face
After leaving Musha City, Xu Chuniang traveled all the way west, and didn’t go far before she was recognized.
Three Void Refining Stage cultivators blocked the way, sizing her up with unkind gazes.
“You are the thief who stole the Xuan Huang Pagoda? Sage Monarch Meng kindly invited you to be a guest of the Meng Clan, but you took the opportunity to steal the Meng Clan’s innate treasure, you’re simply seeking your own death!”
“Hand over the Xuanhuang Pagoda and obediently follow us back to turn yourself in, and maybe Sage Monarch Meng will be kind and still be willing to keep you alive.”
“What’s the point of talking so much with her, just kill her directly and naturally search for the Xuan Huang Pagoda on her!”
Without uttering a single word, Xu Chuniang pre-empted the situation, directly sacrificing the Three Talents Formation to lock onto a mid-period Void Refining cultivator closest to her, and then sacrificed the Meteorite Heart Flame, wrapping it towards him.
“Ah!”
The poor man was trapped by the Three Talents Formation, and could only watch as the magic treasure he had sacrificed was burned into iron by the Meteorite Heart Flame, and his face turned white with fear.
Without waiting for him to cry out for help, the Meteoric Heart Flame took advantage of the situation and burned him to a crisp.
The other few people watched him being burned to death, all of them were terrified and subconsciously retreated towards the distance.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze was slightly chilled as she locked onto the second cultivator with her formation, and after instantly moving closer, she similarly used the Meteoric Heart Flame to take his life.
In an instant, two of the three Void Refining Stage cultivators fell, leaving only the last female cultivator at the early Void Refining Stage, fleeing in haste.
Xu Chuniang didn’t chase any further, standing still and coldly looking at the direction the female cultivator had fled, sending out a divine thought.
“Tell the others that if they want to be lackeys for the Meng Clan, let them first weigh whether they have the strength to do so!”
Xu Chuniang finished her sentence, before continuing to vanish towards the west.
Skywatcher couldn’t help but applaud her, “Well done! Girl Xu, this is the way to deal with these people, let them know that we are not to be messed with!”
Xu Chuniang, however, did not have the heart to joke, she was on the Meng family’s wanted list, countless people had caught wind of it, either for the sake of the unwarranted Xuan Huang Pagoda, or wanting to capture her to curry favor with the Meng family.
One could imagine that the next journey would never be easy.
Sure enough, Xu Chuniang’s suspicions soon came true.
In the next few days, she encountered seven or eight waves of people chasing her.
At first, she would still take the initiative and strangle her opponents with thunderous means.
However, as time passed, the number of people chasing her increased, and trying to clear out all of them would only delay more time.
Therefore, in these two days, she had struck out less and less, often dodging and escaping when she could.
Only those who really couldn’t hide or escape would she strike.
“Perhaps, the situation was not and is not as grim as you think, the ones who have been chasing you these past few days are mainly Void Refining Stage cultivators, and they are not difficult to deal with.”
Seeing Xu Chuniang’s preoccupied look, Skywatcher comforted.
“Your Human Race’s Harmonization Stage cultivators, each and every one of them boasts of being a Sacred Monarch, and are so noble that they shouldn’t degrade themselves to come after you, a Refined Void Stage cultivator.
Besides, since Meng Yunzhou didn’t reveal the fact that he was trapped by you with a formation, the others naturally don’t know your true strength.”
“That said, Meng Yunzhou slandered me for stealing the Xuan Huang Pagoda, and I’m only afraid that some people will come after me for that.”
Skywatcher pondered.
“That’s true, even if certain Harmonization Stage cultivators know that what Meng Yunzhou said is watered down, but with the mindset of trying it out, they might take a shot at you.
Moreover, even if you were lucky enough to avoid the pursuit of certain Conformity Stage powerhouses, trying to pass through the Western Pole Land at the border would not be an easy task.”
A thoughtful look flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, right now, the Meng Clan and the other cultivators who were tracking her should have guessed that her destination was the Shuren Kingdom west of the Western Pole Land. They would surely set up heavy barriers at the border, just waiting for her to throw herself into the net.
“It seems that if you want to leave the Human Realm smoothly, it’s best to change your identity, and this identity must be real and cannot be broken.”
Change your identity?
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, “Changing identities is simple, but after changing identities, how can I not be discovered?”
Every human cultivator had an identity token that matched it, and in the identity token, the cultivator’s soul breath would be stored.
Each cultivator’s soul breath was unique and almost impossible to fake.
“Who said that soul breath can’t be faked? As long as you can hide it from the cultivator checking the identity token, you’ll be able to enter the city without any problems.”
Skywatcher’s tone was full of confidence, “I had met a Thousand-Faced Fox in my early years, and I learned a couple tricks from her, which allowed me to change my soul breath in a short period of time.”
Back then, he disliked that fox was too skinny and didn’t have two or two pieces of meat, so he casually let her go, perhaps in order to return the favor, the Thousand Faces Fox then passed on this trick to him.
Just change the art of soul breath, is a thousand-faced fox clan’s natural aptitude, other races even if you learn, the effect is far less than the thousand-faced fox clan, need to see the opportunity to act.
Xu Chuniang mood a little relaxed, with a change of soul breath technique, why worry about can not get away?
Just to avoid being recognized by others, before learning this technique, she still needs to change her appearance and breath.
Her mind moved, and her breath decayed, revealing her cultivation from the late stage of Refined Void to the early stage of Refined Void.
At the same time, her face and figure also changed, transforming into a tall, middle-aged male cultivator with a beard.
Skywatcher snorted lightly when he saw her new appearance.
“The face and figure are changed, but others aren’t stupid, those with higher cultivation than you only need to sweep with their divine sense to see your original appearance.”
“What’s the hurry, am I not done yet?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, letting her virtual body temporarily substitute for her original body, taking control of her body.
The virtual body had no real state, and was able to simulate thousands of things in the world, and it wasn’t long before the virtual body simulated a rough aura of divine consciousness, replacing Xu Chunniang’s original divine consciousness.
“Now, can you still tell the difference between the real and the imaginary?”
Skywatcher released his divine sense, and swept back and forth on the bearded “middle-aged male cultivator” in front of him for a few moments, and let out a light “eek”.
“Strange, actually really let you to fake real, if not the soul breath did not change, maybe I really will be you cheat past!”
“From today onwards, don’t call me Xu girl, my name is Xu Dahai, you call me Xu kid is.”
“Xu girl, really have your …… line line line, Xu kid, so always okay?”
Wang Tianhao muttered, quite a bit dissatisfied.
“Rather not to be so careful it, although I only have a residual soul left, but this residual soul, it is not the average person can detect.”
“I’m only doing this as a precaution.”
A hint of helplessness appeared in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, but it faded into calmness.
“Alright, now you can teach me the art of altering the soul breath, to me.”
“The art of changing soul breath is actually very simple, but this method will cause some damage to the divine soul if used for a long time, so don’t use it hastily on weekdays when there is nothing to do.
After all, this law is the talent of the Thousand Faces Fox Clan, back then I promised her that she shall not be free to spread out, and now that I have passed it on to you is already a broken commandment, you must not pass it on to others.”
