Chapter 193: Chapter 191: A Forced Choice, Tiger Among Wolves

Faced with Xu Yang’s question, Li Xuan blinked, stunned for a good dozen breaths!

Want to escape?

He said helplessly, "Extremely difficult, extremely difficult!"

"Although there’s no one nearby, the surrounding area is a tight net—every certain distance there’s a Myriad Phenomena Realm guarding the blockade!"

"Including the Yuanli Sect people, besides their transmission signal, they’ve also got this special Spirit Talisman. The moment you die, they’d get notified immediately!"

"An inescapable trap!"

"You can’t get out of here at all!"

Xu Yang frowned tightly. "Not a single idea?"

Li Xuan subconsciously shook his head, but seeing Xu Yang’s gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat. After hesitating, he said, "Unless you can kill several Myriad Phenomena Realm experts in an instant, then rush out at the fastest speed!"

"..."

Xu Yang nearly rolled his eyes!

If I could do that, would I be waiting until now?

Li Xuan gave an awkward chuckle.

Xu Yang frowned, deep in thought.

Suddenly, he looked at Li Xuan, a sudden idea flashing in his heart!

Transformation Skill!

How could I forget the technique my teacher passed down to me?

Just as Xu Yang’s mind was racing, Li Xuan was being stared at until his whole body felt prickly, shifting his butt uneasily!

"But, I can’t kill him! That means I can’t use his body!"

"This bit though, I could use a demon beast!"

"As for disguising my presence... it’s actually not that hard!"

Xu Yang’s lips curled up, fixing Li Xuan with a wicked grin.

Li Xuan totally freaked out, shrank back again and again, eyes filled with terror: "You—what are you planning to do to me?"

"Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much!"

Xu Yang grinned, Spiritual Power bursting out suddenly, knocking Li Xuan out cold again.

He first carefully checked Li Xuan’s True Essence aura and the like, then bled Li Xuan out!

Then, taking Li Xuan with him, he silently left the ravine, hunted a few demon beasts outside.

Right in front of Li Xuan, he used the Transformation Skill to endlessly impersonate and mimic Li Xuan’s presence.

The next day!

Xu Yang looked at his reflection in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction.

Identical to Li Xuan!

Even his aura was seventy to eighty percent similar!

Even if Li Xuan’s own wife came, she probably couldn’t tell the real from the fake in the short term!

Xu Yang had also forced quite a bit of information about Li Xuan out of him.

Finally, looking at the unconscious Li Xuan, Xu Yang said blandly, "Consider yourself lucky—get some sleep for seventy or eighty days!"

With a small trick, Li Xuan would be out cold at least ten days or so!

That special Spirit Talisman was also brought along with him.

You could say the disguise was perfect!

At that, Xu Yang no longer lingered, turned around and left.

Left the mountain range and sped away.

Half a day later.

He encountered the first wave of enemies.

The Yuanli Sect’s search party, led by a Yang Realm Perfection expert!

"Who goes there?"

"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association, Li Xuan!"

Xu Yang produced the Token, bowing respectfully.

The other scanned it, nodded slightly, "Why are you alone? Any findings?"

Li Xuan gave a wry smile, "Just got back from a mission—didn’t get shit!"

The man understood, cursed helplessly, "Damn, who knows where that little bastard’s hiding."

Xu Yang echoed, and was just about to leave, when suddenly something stirred. He took out his Identity Token—someone had sent him a message.

It’s from Zhou Wang, calling all Martial Artists of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association nearby together!

"Senior, Mr. Zhou is calling for a meeting, so I’ll take my leave!" Xu Yang cupped his fists and bowed hurriedly.

"Go on."

Xu Yang left swiftly, his face dark!

Why is Zhou Wang suddenly gathering everyone?

If I don’t go...

Xu Yang instantly snuffed out that thought.

If I don’t go, I’ll be exposed for sure.

Better go!

Xu Yang took a deep breath, heading towards the spot Zhou Wang mentioned.

More than half an hour later.

On top of a barren mountain, by the time Xu Yang arrived, quite a few people had gathered.

Most of them were Yang Realm!

Xu Yang kept a straight face, but felt no worry.

His disguise as Li Xuan, mere Early Stage of Yang Realm, was basically a nobody!

He only knew two or three people here!

"Li Xuan, you’re here too."

"Yeah, just finished a task."

"How about you guys? Any luck?"

"Like hell!"

"Didn’t even find a fart!"

As they bantered, the strangers joined in too, cursing and grumbling.

"No idea why Mr. Zhou suddenly called us here?" someone muttered curiously.

Everyone was just as curious.

"He’s here!"

Someone called out quietly.

Xu Yang’s pupils contracted; he saw Zhou Wang descending from the sky!

An invisible aura pressed down, making the dozens present fall silent and respectfully solemn!

Zhou Wang’s face was gloomy. He swept his gaze over the crowd and said blandly, "Has anyone discovered any trace of Xu Yang?"

He was just asking casually anyway—didn’t have much hope.

The answer didn’t let him down!

No one had found anything!

Zhou Wang took a deep breath, flicked his sleeve, and a cluster of strange purple pearls flew before everyone.

"Mr. Zhou, what are these things?"

The one in front asked suspiciously.

Zhou Wang said, "Spirit Cave Pearl—each of you gets one. It can cover a radius of five hundred li, helping you detect any movement within that area!"

"After you take it, everyone spreads out—one person per team, broaden the search range. If you find anything, better kill by mistake than let him go—report immediately!"

"Yes!"

Everyone replied in unison.

Xu Yang picked up a Spirit Cave Pearl, secretly startled!

Covering five hundred li radius—in the hands of a Myriad Phenomena Realm, it’s kind of useless, but for Yang Realm, it’s a weapon!

One person covers the area, a few dozen spread out and it’s a massive territory; plus, with Yuanli Sect and the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association...

Worthy of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association—got treasures for everything!

Xu Yang quietly stole a glance at Zhou Wang, then quickly dropped his head.

Zhou Wang didn’t stay long and left first.

The others all scattered as well!

Xu Yang let out a breath. One person per team—definitely in his favor!

Maybe, he could slip right past the encirclement!

"Li Xuan, be careful—Bailong is looking for you!"

One of Li Xuan’s acquaintances warned him as he was leaving.

"Bailong?"

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed; he said thanks.

After the other left, his face immediately darkened.

Damn, who the hell is Bailong?

That bastard Li Xuan didn’t say!

Probably an enemy!

Surely I can’t be so unlucky to run into him.

Xu Yang’s face shifted through a few expressions. Seeing everyone scatter, he took a deep breath and darted off in a direction no one else went.

Two days later!

Xu Yang soared over a city, eyes flickering with joy.

He’d reached the edge of the encirclement.

Go any further, even if you add up Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association and Yuanli Sect, there just aren’t enough people!

Even if someone stumbled onto here, with such a huge area, finding him would be nearly impossible!

"This Spirit Talisman can be tracked. Best find somewhere to drop it off!"

Xu Yang took out that special Spirit Talisman, thought a bit, then also took out Li Xuan’s Identity Token and the Spirit Cave Pearl—better safe than sorry!

This last stage—stay cautious!

Soon after, he dove into the mountains, aiming to find a demon beast!

Just as he entered the wild, two figures immediately appeared in his field of view!

The moment Xu Yang saw them, they saw him too.

"Li Xuan? Hah—speak of the devil!"

The youth fixed his gaze on Xu Yang with delight and a malicious smile, sauntering over.

Xu Yang’s face darkened, his mind whirling, and he called out tentatively, "Bailong!"
