"If you dare to move again, your foundation will be severely damaged!"
The old man spoke and then flickered away.
Gu Changsheng was both angry and vexed. He, the dignified楼主 (Lóuzhǔ - Master) of Qintian Tower, had been repeatedly outmaneuvered by the other party.
He hadn't expected the other party to possess so many tricks, making him unable to guard against them!
Gu Changsheng's killing intent surged. Just as he was about to attack, a sharp pain in his chest turned his face ashen.
Within moments, the old man had vanished without a trace.
In the darkness, a figure in red and green moved rapidly, soon appearing in a shantytown tens of miles away.
The old man flickered into an alley.
Afterward, a young man with slightly foreign features appeared, hurrying towards a dilapidated small house.
Creak.
The man pushed open the door.
"Brother, is that you, brother?"
A weak voice came from inside the house.
"Little sister, it's me." The man replied as he closed the small courtyard gate.
After he closed the gate and turned around, he froze, a strong sense of crisis in his eyes.
Two men stood in the small courtyard, looking at him.
"Your poison will soon be resolved by Gu Changsheng, and then you won't be able to escape the capital."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Please leave my house." The man quickly calmed down. "Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
Ye Kunlun chuckled, appraising the man. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the Po Ling Dan!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand! Get out!"
The man was extremely vigilant. Although Ye Kunlun looked young, he gave him a sense of crisis even stronger than Gu Changsheng.
He secretly guarded himself, ready to act at any moment.
"Peacock, our young master isn't interested in the Po Ling Dan," Wu Dao said with a cold snort. "Don't think that because you've disguised yourself, our young master won't recognize you!"
After leaving Ziyan Tower, Ye Kunlun had tracked him all the way, even avoiding Gu Changsheng.
Wu Dao knew that the peacock before them was from the Wu clan.
Ye Kunlun looked at the man with a vigilant expression and said calmly, "Your Thousand Shadow Technique can fool everyone, but it can't fool me. It seems this is your true face."
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's words, the man knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He transformed into an afterimage and lunged at Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun waved his large hand, and a sharp aura directly sent the man flying!
"Your little poison and tricks are fine against Gu Changsheng, but they're useless against me!"
Ye Kunlun said lightly.
"Who are you, and how do you know the Thousand Shadow Technique?"
The Thousand Shadow Technique, as the name suggests, can transform infinitely and alter one's appearance.
It sounds simple, but it has extremely high requirements for a cultivator's physique and must be cultivated from a young age. For each shadow cultivated, one must crush all the bones in their body before cultivating the next.
If the Thousand Shadow Technique is cultivated to great accomplishment, one must crush their bones a thousand times.
The pain of bone crushing is something that ordinary people cannot endure.
Furthermore, the Thousand Shadow Technique only changes appearance and physique, and its offensive power is not strong.
Therefore, the Thousand Shadow Technique is basically lost in the martial world and the cultivation world.
"Judging by the time, Gu Changsheng should have detoxified himself."
Ye Kunlun reminded the man and continued, "Although the Thousand Shadow Technique can alter your aura, you underestimate Gu Changsheng too much. He is the楼主 of Qintian Tower after all. It's only a matter of time before he finds you!"
"Your time is running out."
"Since you're not interested in the Po Ling Dan, why did you find me?" the man asked.
"Are you from the Wu clan?" Ye Kunlun asked.
Upon hearing this, the man's vigilance intensified, and he even showed a hint of hatred. "Did the Wushen send you?"
"No," Ye Kunlun shook his head. "I'm very interested in the Wushen you mentioned. Wait a moment."
Ye Kunlun sensed Gu Changsheng's aura. This old man was indeed chasing fast.
If he found the shantytown, it might be troublesome.
Ye Kunlun pointed in the four cardinal directions, and four streams of energy merged into the void.
Instantly, an invisible formation quietly formed, isolating the area from the outside world.
"How is this possible?" After detoxifying himself, Gu Changsheng continued his pursuit, but the aura vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Gu Changsheng's eyes regained their profound blackness, the Taiji phantom spinning as he tried to capture the other party's trace.
Unfortunately, the fog was vast, and he could see nothing.
"How could this happen?"
Gu Changsheng's face was extremely grim. He hadn't expected the Po Ling Dan to be snatched away under his protection!
If he couldn't bring the Po Ling Dan back, how could he face Nangong Lie?
Wouldn't the reputation of Qintian Tower be even more disgraced!
"This楼主 refuses to believe I can't find you!"
Gu Changsheng truly exerted himself, quickly forming hand seals.
A massive Taiji diagram appeared beneath him. "Eternal Longevity, Taiji Shadow Pursuit!!"
As Gu Changsheng shouted, the Taiji diagram emitted a brilliant light, and a strange aura quickly spread outwards.
—
"Alright, now Gu Changsheng won't be able to find us."
Ye Kunlun clapped his hands. "Judging by your tone, you seem to hate this Wushen?"
"Hate?" The man sneered. "I wish I could grind him into dust! If it weren't for him, how would my family be destroyed and my sister be on the verge of death!!"
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.
"So, you stole the Po Ling Dan to save your sister?"
Ye Kunlun turned back, his gaze falling on the dilapidated house.
Seeing this, the man flickered to protect the front of the house. "What are you doing? I can give you the Po Ling Dan!"
As he spoke, the man tossed the Po Ling Dan to Ye Kunlun.
"This Po Ling Dan was refined by me. I have as many as I want!"
Ye Kunlun flicked his finger, and the Po Ling Dan returned to the man's hand.
The man stared at Ye Kunlun blankly. "You, you said this Po Ling Dan was refined by you?"
"Nonsense!" Wu Dao said proudly. "I watched the young master refine it with my own eyes. Is there any falsehood?"
The man found it hard to believe.
Ye Kunlun, despite his youth, not only knew the Thousand Shadow Technique but could also refine the Po Ling Dan.
Even those reclusive great sects might not be able to achieve this.
"You want to save your sister with the Po Ling Dan, right?" Ye Kunlun's divine sense had already scanned the situation inside the house.
"Yes!" The man did not hide it.
"The Po Ling Dan cannot save her!" Ye Kunlun delivered a cold shower to the man. "The Po Ling Dan is merely a breakthrough pill; it has no medicinal or healing effects."
"If one naively believes that forcibly breaking through with the Po Ling Dan can cure their illnesses, it's simply too wishful thinking. Otherwise, there would be no need for healers in this world."
Upon hearing this, the man's face turned ashen.
"Brother, Lingxiang will be fine." The sister's weak voice came from inside the house.
"Little sister, it's brother's fault for being useless." The man's voice was choked with emotion.
At this moment, Ye Kunlun spoke again. "However, I can cure your sister. In return, tell me about the Wushen!"
"You, you can really cure my sister?"
The man was overjoyed, tears streaming down his face. "Yes, since you can refine the Po Ling Dan, you must also be able to refine medicinal pills for healing!"
