Chapter 421: Chapter 416: Yuanzhen Mutual Sensing Technique, Another Disguise Treasure
Yang Chan was surprised to find a Cultivation Technique on Baili Star. Such techniques were rarely carried around, unless they were obtained through a stroke of luck.
Even so, most people would commit them to memory and then destroy the Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals!
Yang Chan opened it and quickly skimmed the contents of the scroll.
He found the Ten Thousand Beasts Scripture recorded on the front. On the back, which was the color of human skin, some small characters were also written.
"Yuanzhen Mutual Sensing Technique!"
Yang Chan read the inscription clearly. It was several thousand characters in total, and he finished reading it quickly.
It was a Dual Cultivation Method that could also be used as a Gathering and Replenishing Technique. The strangest part was that it could be used by both men and women, which was quite an eye-opener for Yang Chan.
With a slight thought, Yang Chan put away all the items Baili Star had left behind.
’This trip had a small, unexpected turn, but it also allowed me to nip the danger in the bud.’
’If Baili Star had gone on a killing spree in the Cyan Yuan Sect, many people would have likely intervened, and I might have been exposed.’
’In the current situation, I’ve managed to stay hidden.’
’All that’s left is to frame the Taiyin Saintess for this.’
After clearing away any remaining traces, he had to move the Taiyin Saintess. At the very least, he couldn’t let her get caught right away.
It would be best if the Taiyin Saintess could escape. That way, the blame for Baili Star’s death would fall squarely on her.
After all, the traces of the battle between the Taiyin Saintess and Baili Star were still there. Most people would assume she was the one who killed him.
Although there were holes in this story, as long as the Taiyin Saintess didn’t want to die, her only choice was to flee, bearing the reputation of having killed Baili Star.
It would be even more perfect if someone else killed the Taiyin Saintess later on. However, it would be better if that happened much later.
If both of them died now, suspicion would instead fall on the Cyan Yuan Sect, which was not a good option.
Yang Chan’s figure flickered. He quickly arrived at the Taiyin Saintess’s previous location. She had moved, but he could still sense her trail because she hadn’t gone far at all.
To be precise, she hadn’t *rolled* far.
Her condition was terrible. Her entire body was bright red, like a steamed shrimp, and she was curled into a ball.
Her hands were performing a disappearing act, vanishing not only into the "great mountains" but also into the "grassy thicket." Her body was writhing uncontrollably.
This reminded Yang Chan of the Ten Thousand Unity Gu Flower that Baili Star had mentioned earlier.
At first, he hadn’t been sure of the Ten Thousand Unity Gu Flower’s effects, only having a guess. Now, his suspicions were confirmed.
Yang Chan could also smell a peculiar scent wafting from the Taiyin Saintess.
’Consider yourself lucky. I still need you to draw away all the trouble!’
’Otherwise, I’d make you disappear right now!’
Yang Chan looked at the Taiyin Saintess, a murderous glint in his eyes, but he ultimately gave up on the idea.
’If she died now, it would be very troublesome for me. The Taiyin Saintess is only useful if she can draw the attention of others away from me. That’s much better than her being dead.’
Originally, Yang Chan had considered using the Three Flower Insect Divine Pill, but after learning that the Taiyin Saintess possessed a Nether Beast Ancient Insect, he abandoned the plan. It would be mostly ineffective.
Against the Nether Beast Ancient Insect, his Poison Pills were basically useless. The insect itself countered other insects, and as for the toxins, they could hardly control an expert at the Peak of Internal Refining of the Five Viscera.
Even though her Cultivation had plummeted for now, she could still recover to her peak if given the chance. Besides, he didn’t want to leave too many traces.
Picking up the Taiyin Saintess by her outer robe with one hand, Yang Chan’s figure sped away.
The signs of battle here were too obvious; it wasn’t wise to linger.
As for the Taiyin Saintess, he just needed to find a relatively safe place far from the Cyan Yuan Sect and dump her there.
Thinking this, he acted on it. He used the Wind-Stepping Technique to travel at high speed, rushing toward the border of Qing State.
He avoided anyone he sensed along the way. Finally, after reaching a remote, old forest and finding an empty stone cave, he unceremoniously dropped the still-curled-up Taiyin Saintess.
She kept trying to get closer to him, but Yang Chan pushed her away.
He was, of course, familiar with the name of the Taiyin Demon Sect. The Demon Sect Saintess was no saint. Her methods were said to be extremely ruthless, and rumor had it she kept numerous male companions. She was a Witch skilled in the art of Absorbing Yang and Nourishing Yin.
Although this was all hearsay and unconfirmed, he figured there was likely some truth to the rumors.
He didn’t care what kind of person the Taiyin Saintess was. The only thing he needed from her was to buy him some time. It would be even better if she carried the blame for him.
’In a few more years, none of this will matter.’
After his Martial Arts Cultivation broke through to the External Refining of the Five Viscera realm, his cultivation progress had slowed considerably. But this slowness was only relative.
After all, in the later stages of his Inner Refining of the Six Viscera cultivation, it had only taken him less than a month to achieve a breakthrough. His current pace was just a little slower.
He estimated that at his current rate of progress, he could complete the Tempering of his Five Viscera within a year and attempt to break through to the Cleansing Marrow Grandmaster Realm.
Once he could consistently refine Elixirs that aided the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera, this timeline would shorten even further.
Although the Taiyin Saintess’s Cultivation was currently higher than his, it would take her a very long time to recover to her peak state. And that was only if she managed to escape successfully. Otherwise, it would take even longer.
Therefore, Yang Chan speculated that by the time the Taiyin Saintess recovered to her peak, his own Martial Arts Cultivation would be no weaker than hers, and might even surpass it. Naturally, she would pose almost no threat to him then.
As for the Taiyin Holy Sect behind her, if they sent experts over, they would still have to face the masters of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty and the opposition of other Holy Lands, which naturally lessened the threat.
Even if the Taiyin Saintess were to recover to her peak right now, he wasn’t without options. The method he used to kill Baili Star had shown him the Combat Power of his Soul Body.
It could approach silently, completely undetected by any sense of danger, making it perfect for sneak attacks. Combined with the Sword Momentum he wielded, he could easily slay an expert of the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera.
This was true even for someone at the Peak of Internal Refining of the Five Viscera. After all, unless their Spirit had undergone a transformation, they would be completely unable to perceive the existence of a Soul Body.
’This power is really useful.’
’Live a while longer!’
Yang Chan shoved away the Taiyin Saintess, who was trying to get close again. To be honest, this Saintess had quite a figure. Aside from her somewhat plain face, she was rather outstanding.
Suddenly, a thought struck Yang Chan. He reached out to the Taiyin Saintess’s face and removed a special treasure. It was a Disguise Treasure similar to Princess Lan Yue’s Thousand Faces.
No wonder he hadn’t noticed at first. It was the effect of this Disguise Treasure.
It looked completely natural, without the discordant feeling of a Human Skin Mask.
Although Human Skin Masks were quite effective, one could always spot some flaws. This was especially true for those with higher Cultivation, whose senses were stronger. They could perceive the disharmony on the face and recognize that someone was wearing a Disguise Mask or something similar.
’That kind of method isn’t really anything special.’
Beneath the Disguise Treasure, the Taiyin Saintess’s face was quite exquisite. But at this moment, it was completely flushed, and her eyes, looking at Yang Chan, were filled with a seductive allure.
The moment Yang Chan’s hand touched her face, she began to press and rub against him, as if this was what she truly craved.
One of her hands even grabbed Yang Chan’s, trying to pull it close and make it disappear between the "hills," to perform that arm disappearing act.
Yang Chan, however, remained unmoved. He had experienced the "palm disappearing act" far too many times and had no desire for it now.
If he wanted, he could experience a different kind of "disappearing act" every day. Why would he get involved with a huge problem like the Taiyin Saintess?
According to the rumors, she was likely even more uninhibited than the beauties in the brothels.
Though her exquisite face looked pure and innocent, it was hard for him to feel any interest once a sense of disgust had taken root in his mind.
Not to mention, he didn’t want to leave any traces behind.
’Perhaps she might suspect someone from the Cyan Yuan Sect made a move, but she’d more likely suspect Gu An. In that case, I’m still relatively safe.’
’Of course, she might also guess it was someone else. After all, the major Holy Lands have many experts. As long as these clouds of suspicion form in the Taiyin Saintess’s mind and buy me more time, that’s all that matters.’
’Once I get to the Merak Sacred Land, everything should be fine!’
