“What a pity. Although these people are all in the Tianxuan Realm, most of them relied on Medicinal Pills to achieve their cultivation. Their strength is truly mediocre, and they are all useless good-for-nothings. If their cultivation were more solid, perhaps I could Break through to Profound Earth Eight-fold in one fell swoop.”
After absorbing a lot of spiritual liquid earlier, his cultivation had already reached the limit of Profound Earth Six-fold, and he was only a hair's breadth away from a Breakthrough.
“Next…”
Qin Xuan picked up Gu Cheng’s qiankun ring, a hint of triumph appearing on his face.
“Since this thing can pinpoint locations, it should be able to serve some purpose.”
Taking out the Thousand Transformations Spirit from his own qiankun ring, Qin Xuan put it on.
“Let’s change into Gu Cheng’s appearance.”
As Gu Cheng’s appearance emerged in Qin Xuan’s mind, the Thousand Transformations Spirit immediately wriggled, causing his face to change accordingly.
“This Thousand Transformations Spirit is truly amazing. This is no longer just disguise; it completely changes one’s face into another appearance using this item. This is far more powerful than simple disguise.”
Although he already knew, the actual operation still surprised him greatly.
Soon, not only his appearance, but also his height, voice, and Qi became identical to Gu Cheng’s.
After a while, Qin Xuan stretched his shoulders and nodded in satisfaction.
He truly looked no different from Gu Cheng now.
“Good, now it’s time for you to show your prowess.”
Qin Xuan left Lei Yun Peak and hurried towards Sword Peak.
Along the way, people who knew Gu Cheng occasionally came over to greet him.
‘Gu Cheng’ responded with a perfunctory nod and then left on his own.
With Gu An as his uncle, Gu Cheng naturally had the right to be a bit arrogant.
Upon arriving at Sword Peak, even more people saluted Gu Cheng.
Many Disciples in the Tianxuan Realm obsequiously saluted Gu Cheng.
To such people, ‘Gu Cheng’ merely nodded in response.
“Senior Brother Gu, didn’t you and Junior Sister Liu just go down the mountain? Why are you back?”
Several people familiar with Gu Cheng stepped forward to chat with him.
It seemed these were all acquainted with Gu Cheng.
“Oh, Junior Sister Liu said she wanted to go out for some training, so I had a few of them escort Junior Sister Liu down the mountain.”
“I came back to get something.”
“To get something? Senior Brother, do you need our help?”
The few people eagerly spoke, clearly wanting to curry favor.
Qin Xuan waved his hand.
“No need, I can handle it myself!”
With that, Qin Xuan turned and left.
Seeing that Qin Xuan truly didn’t need their help, these few also wisely cupped their hands and bid farewell.
After circling a few times, ensuring that everyone on Sword Peak knew that the group had escorted Liu Yiyi home, Qin Xuan left Sword Peak with satisfaction.
“Now, even that Gu An won’t be able to pin this on me. After all, ‘Gu Cheng’ is still alive.”
“However, I still need a little reason.”
In the Xuanlong Mountain Range, Qin Xuan stroked his chin in thought.
After a while, he had an idea.
As night gradually fell, Qin Xuan returned to Azure Green Sect, deliberately letting many people see him. Then, Qin Xuan found a secluded spot and made a simple wooden mask to wear.
At this time, the night was deep, and even the moon was hidden in the clouds.
“A dark and windy night, perfect for murder and arson!”
Qin Xuan put on his mask and headed directly towards Dan Peak.
“That old dog Wu Yong really barks too much. If I kill him, I won’t have to worry about Dan Peak anymore.”
“Leaving aside other things, with that old scoundrel around, it’s indeed inconvenient for me to enter the Alchemy rooms beneath Dan Peak too frequently. Besides, that old scoundrel has barked several times.”
“He has brought about his own demise!”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly and charged directly towards Dan Peak.
Daring to block his path, this was a path to death!
Tonight, Wu Yong must die!
Although Azure Green Sect’s defenses were strict, they were strict outside the Sect. Inside the Sect, it wasn’t much.
After entering the Sect as Gu Cheng, Qin Xuan didn't exert much effort along the way.
Soon, Qin Xuan arrived at the foot of Dan Peak. At this time, the guards of Dan Peak were sleeping in twos and threes in corners.
Clearly, with the Sect’s external defenses, Dan Peak had rarely experienced any major incidents. Over the years, they had developed complacent habits and had no sense of vigilance whatsoever.
Easily bypassing these guards, Qin Xuan went to the summit and headed directly towards Wu Yong.
“Gu Cheng wanted to snatch Master Wu’s Medicinal Pills, and Master Wu naturally resisted desperately. During the fight, Gu Cheng killed Master Wu, which alarmed the surrounding guards. His mask accidentally fell off, and he was seen.”
“In a panic, Gu Cheng fled and disappeared forever…”
After pondering for a moment, Qin Xuan believed there were no major issues with this plan.
“It’s a pity my strength isn’t enough, otherwise, if I killed Gu An tonight, there would be no trouble!”
Killing the younger one brings the older one, that’s where the trouble lies, so Qin Xuan could only use this method to divert attention.
“Thump!”
Qin Xuan kicked open the door to Wu Yong’s room and walked in.
“Who’s there!”
Wu Yong was still performing Alchemy at this time, and being suddenly interrupted, he angrily looked towards the doorway, wanting to see which ignorant person dared to come in and disturb him.
However, when he saw the person dressed in a night-traveling outfit and wearing a mask, he immediately reacted.
“You, you, what do you want to do? Get out now, and I’ll pretend this never happened!”
Wu Yong said in horror, the Medicinal Pill that was almost refined in the Medicine Cauldron turned to ashes.
“Nothing happened? Old scoundrel, I need Medicinal Pills! Quickly hand over all your Five-Rank Pills and Spirit Stones, and I might spare you!”
Five-Rank Pills were extremely valuable. For a Five-Rank Alchemist, even one failed batch was incredibly painful, let alone being forced to hand over all their Medicinal Pills.
Therefore, in Qin Xuan’s opinion, Wu Yong would certainly resist desperately.
This way, he could create some commotion and expose his identity.
“Alright, I’ll give you everything, as long as you don’t kill me!”
Wu Yong said, hastily taking out his various Five-Rank Pills.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make any noise. Take whatever you want here, I won’t have any objections!”
Wu Yong honestly took out all his belongings and was incredibly submissive, showing no intention of making any noise at all.
It was clear that compared to these external possessions, he valued his life more.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan felt a bit helpless.
The commotion he had anticipated from Wu Yong simply didn't happen.
“What a useless spineless coward, this is your entire fortune!”
Qin Xuan glared at him, and Wu Yong hastily shook his head.
“Take whatever you want, please. Don’t worry, I won’t call anyone else!”
