Chapter 508: Chapter 86: He is [Vote for the Month!] _1

"Ah-choo——"

Chu Liang sneezed, opened up his White Bear Cloak, and sat up.

The cloak lived up to its reputation, enabling him to blend perfectly into the snowy landscape. Initially, he was worried that the Spirit Dog of Guo Zhanfeng would sniff him out, but surprisingly, the cloak could even obscure his entire scent.

Earlier, when harassed by Guo Zhanfeng, Chu Liang found it inconvenient to reveal his divine skills, and had to rely on his physical body to fight back, which proved rather troublesome. But thanks to the White Bear Cloak, he was able to hide himself quickly as the tide of darkness passed.

By shrouding himself in a white cloth, he achieved detachment from the world.

As a precaution against Guo Zhanfeng’s possible return, he stayed hidden for about an hour before rising.

However, as a result, he had failed in his task of intercepting the tide of darkness. He hastily returned to where he had previously congregated, only to find that Gui Lian’er and his two companions were missing.

He promptly used a messaging artifact to inquire in the direction of Shu Mountain, and received an immediate response. The previous dark misty tide of darkness was too turbulent, and many of the demonic cultivators on the mountain were unable to stop it. The White Bone Hall Master ordered these people to withdraw around Sealed Cliff Mountain and set up defensive lines again.

Granny Meng, who possessed the Breath of Hades and was surrounded by heavy Yin aura, was likely to have mixed with the tide of darkness to approach Sealed Cliff Mountain, hence, the Demon Sect people were steadfast in their blockade.

The Underworld King Sect Master was probably waiting on Sealed Cliff Mountain. As soon as he found traces of Granny Meng, he would undoubtedly take action.

At the same time, the powerful figures from the three righteous paths and the Regent Residence were also eyeing the situation closely. As soon as the Breath of Hades appeared, they would strike thunderously.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on Sealed Cliff Mountain.

The black snow that had originally blanketed the surrounding mountain peaks was all concentrated there. Dense and thick, it was a sight from afar like a divine miracle.

Due to Guo Zhanfeng’s delay, Chu Liang was significantly behind.

After learning about these situations, Chu Liang also hurried towards Sealed Cliff Mountain. However, just as his form flew out of the range of the mountain peak, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear, "Huh? Is that you?"

Remembering the familiar voice, Chu Liang immediately said, "Senior Qi Jing?"

Following the call of the voice, he landed on the north face of a glacial ridge, where he indeed saw two familiar figures.

A dashing middle-aged man with a weathered face wearing a bamboo hat was leading a little girl who didn’t seem too bright.

Upon seeing Chu Liang, the little girl immediately lit up: "Frui...Fruit..."

Tuntun, only a few days old, could already speak a lot, not to mention Chu Yi, who had become Chu Liang’s head of accounts.

Chu Liang couldn’t help drawing comparisons internally. The child, under Senior Qi Jing’s care, still couldn’t speak a complete sentence after such a long time.

"Senior, long time no see!" He approached and greeted.

"Hehe, since the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, your name has become known to the world." Immortal Qi Jing chuckled upon looking at Chu Liang.

The biting north wind ruffled his robe, giving him an added air of broad-mindedness.

"I am grateful to the senior for his help," Chu Liang said.

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him, he had one major concern that he didn’t dare to voice out... Was this man really Senior Sister Jiang’s father?

If that were the case...

He needed to perform well.

"Now it’s your turn to repay my favour." Immortal Qi Jing suddenly said.

"Ah?" Chu Liang looked up and asked, "Senior requires me to do something?"

"Well, not exactly... I need to borrow your appearance," Immortal Qi Jing laughed.

"Senior, are you heading to the Sealed Cliff Mountain?" Chu Liang immediately understood his intention.

"Sealed Cliff Mountain is full of members of the Demon Sect, and it’s covered in black snow, so it’s difficult for me to infiltrate." Immortal Qi Jing said, "I need to borrow your identity."

"But I..." Chu Liang hesitated, considering his undercover mission.

"You can inform the people of Shu Mountain about this matter, they will agree." Immortal Qi Jing said, gazing towards the Sealed Cliff Mountain with a determined look, "I’m not concealing my intentions from you; I’m determined to acquire the Breath of Hades."

As he said this, he patted the little girl’s head gently.

Chu Liang didn’t ask him how he knew about the Breath of Hades, so he could only say, "What do you want me to do, senior?"

He had already figured out that Immortal Qi Jing was here to target a solitary and unlucky demonic cultivator. Just because he discovered it was him, he kindly explained the situation. Actually, given the opponent’s cultivation level, even if he didn’t agree, did he have any way to resist?

"Just help me keep an eye on the child here, I’ll handle the rest." Immortal Qi Jing said, "Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, his figure swiveled and in a flash of light, he had become identical in appearance to Chu Liang, dressed in a black robe with just a few strands of hair visible outside.

"Senior, this..." Chu Liang, seeing this for the first time, thought it was an illusion technique. This kind of blinding trick might not deceive the Demon Sect’s investigation.

"This is not an ordinary illusion, but the Immortal Law of Spirit Fox Illusion." Immortal Qi Jing chuckled, "Did you think the woman who deceived the Regent Residence while pretending to be you was unaffected by Mars influence last time?"

He knew about this too?

Chu Liang was a little surprised. This senior Qi Jing seemed to be well-informed.

As for the Spirit Fox Illusion, he had only heard about it in legends. It was said to originate from the Fox Clan’s divine shape-shifting skill, hence the name Spirit Fox was used. The most powerful aspect was that after shape-shifting, it was difficult to see through. However, this method is hard to master and few in the world know it.

At this point, he could only temporarily take up the task of babysitting and at the same time, send the news out.

And in the shape of Chu Liang, Immortal Qi Jing darted into the vast black snow.

...

Meanwhile, the master and disciple of the Red Clothes Palace also arrived at Sealed Cliff Mountain.

The inside and outside of Sealed Cliff Mountain was full of black figures. People from the Demon Sect were coming and going, particularly noticeable against the backdrop of the grey-white mountain. The striking colors of the two people from the Red Clothes Palace drew more attention.

The Red Clothes Palace Master wore a red mask that covered her face and intimidated those who dared to look straight at her. Her red clothes fluttered in the wind as she took position on top of a mountain.

"Master, if Granny Meng is captured by the Sect Master..." Yi Qiushui was a little worried. If her master dares to assist Granny Meng in front of the Sect Master, things could go wrong.

"I have already helped her once. I consider it a repayment of her kindness." The Red Clothes Palace Master said calmly, "You don’t need to worry about the rest."

Only then did Yi Qiushui release a breath of relief.

Just as she was looking around, suddenly, she saw a somewhat familiar figure.

She frowned in doubt, and then her eyes widened in surprise. It was him!

"Stop!" Yi Qiushui cried out and immediately flew after him. "You there, stop!"

The one she stopped was Immortal Qi Jing, who had transformed into Chu Liang. Chu Liang had briefed him a bit about the incidents involving White Bone Hall and Ghost Face Hall, but he had no idea that Chu Liang had any connection with the Red Clothes Palace.

But to avoid arousing suspicion, Immortal Qi Jing had no choice but to stop and ask in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"Ha." When Yi Qiushui saw that he was acting as if he didn’t recognize her, she was so angry that she laughed, "I can’t believe you are a disciple of my sect and dared to deceive me."

Is there a backstory to this?

Immortal Qi Jing blinked, thinking to himself that this seemingly upright Chu Liang actually enjoyed deceiving young girls.

Just as he was about to use his divine skills to get past Yi Qiushui, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her, "What’s going on?"

Seeing that Yi Qiushui had stopped a disciple of the Underworld King Sect, the Red Clothes Palace Master didn’t care to ask at first. But when she looked at him, her heart skipped a beat and she flew over to ask.

"Master!" Yi Qiushui pointed at Immortal Qi Jing and said angrily, "He is the ’Dugu Qiubai’ from last time. He is the one who impersonated the senior you know and conned the...treasure from me. We must punish him this time!"

She didn’t dare to mention the Shenxu Scroll because of the crowd.

Immortal Qi Jing turned his gaze to the Red Clothes Palace Master, and in a slight shock, quickly averted his eyes.

But it was too late.

The Red Clothes Palace Master looked at him, her eyes fixed, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly. After a while, she said, "He is..."

"Exactly!" Yi Qiushui said, "He is the fraudster!"

"No..." The Red Clothes Palace Master shook her head, "He is..."
