Chapter 311: Chapter 226: The Situation Reverses!

Although he did not end the life of Xie Wenren, who was disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, a warm sensation suddenly emerged on his face. He reached out to touch it and found that his face had been injured by the Sword Qi of the Immortal Slaying Sword.

In fact, the injury was secondary since it was just a superficial wound, but he distinctly felt his facial skin cracking and peeling off rapidly after the injury, his entire face was swiftly shedding its skin.

That is to say, Xie Wenren’s disguise as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was gone, and at this moment, he had been forced to reveal his true face!

Luckily, his disheveled hair provided cover, otherwise, his true face would have been exposed immediately.

"Master, my disguised face..."

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, knew his cover was blown, so in his panic, he once again sought help from Kumarajiva inside his left shoulder.

"Your face is no longer important."

Kumarajiva from inside his left shoulder said with surprise:

"What’s important now is, I think I’m starting to understand!"

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, asked in confusion:

"Master, what have you understood?"

Narrowing his eyes, Kumarajiva inside his left shoulder looked towards Wang Tianran and said:

"The master is beginning to see that it’s not two against one anymore, it’s not just you and I against Li Ping’an alone, but two against two!"

"Two against two?"

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, listened with even more confusion:

"Master, your disciple is becoming more and more bewildered."

"Idiot!"

Kumarajiva from inside his left shoulder declared confidently:

"The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran has made his move!"

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, exclaimed in surprise:

"Why did Wang Tianran suddenly take action? Is he aiming at me?"

"Not just that!"

Frowning, Kumarajiva from inside his left shoulder said:

"It seems that Wang Tianran’s goal is not only you, but also me!"

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, scoffed:

"Just him? He dares to challenge you, Master?"

"Hahahaha! Don’t forget Wang Tianran is The World’s Number One Talent, a genuine prodigy unseen in a millennium!"

All of a sudden, Kumarajiva from inside his left shoulder said with realization:

"Though this King Tianran, The World’s Foremost Talented, does not surpass me in cultivation, hiding inside your body in front of him, this way of deceiving ourselves is indeed foolish. I’ve been careless!"

"It looks like Wang Tianran not only knew of your identity long ago but also knew about my presence!"

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, immediately panicked:

"Master, with Li Ping’an already being formidable and now having the help of The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran, this is too much trouble. What do we do now?"

"Well..."

Kumarajiva from inside his left shoulder had not anticipated that The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran would want to intervene, which caught him off guard; thus, Kumarajiva was also very embarrassed and momentarily at a loss.

"Allow your master to ponder for a moment, and you, stay composed for now!"

"This..."

Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, also discerned from his master’s attitude towards Wang Tianran that his master was hesitant and fear was mingled in that hesitation.

This could only mean one thing: Wang Tianran was powerful enough to make Kumarajiva within his left shoulder wary.

If The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran possessed the strength to make the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva apprehensive, then dealing with him, a cultivator at the mysterious heart realm, would be as easy as flipping one’s hand!

"What should I do?"

This was the problem that Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, was considering at the moment!

...

"Li Ping’an, immediately! Right away! Before everyone else makes a move, expose the true face of Xie Wenren, who is disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao!"

The words of Wang Tianran suddenly echoed in Li Ping’an’s mind.

"Alright!"

After agreeing, Li Ping’an roared to everyone:

"Wait to move against me until after this matter is settled!"

"On what grounds? Kill him!"

When the Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen, leading the Head of the Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Head of Yanyue Sect Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao and other Sect Leaders were about to strike down Li Ping’an, Li Ping’an suddenly pointed at Xie Wenren, disguised as the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong, and spoke out loud:

"He is the Flame Cloud Sect’s Cultivator Xie Wenren! If anyone doubts it, look at his face!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect sneered:

"Blowing more hot air? Trying to cast dirt on me to buy time? Huh?"

"No one should believe Li Ping’an’s words!"

Head of the Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi shouted to the crowd:

"This Li Ping’an is capable of murder and looting treasures. He is certainly no good person; we must not fall for his stalling tactics!"

"Exactly, exactly! Li Ping’an is the shame of the Taoist sects!"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of the Qingyun Sect followed up, saying:

"Although this Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao is unorthodox, at least he has not committed such outrageous acts. So, everyone must not be fooled by Li Ping’an!"

"I think Li Ping’an is just trying to buy time!"

"Daring to slander Sect Master Zhuge, Li Ping’an, you really miscalculated!"

"Stop your futile struggles! An eye for an eye, return the treasures, Li Ping’an, what are you waiting for!"

Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other Sect Leaders naturally stood with Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect and did not believe Li Ping’an’s absurd claim.
