This Martial Saint’s Health Bar is Too Thick!
Chapter 601 - 101 Unmasking

In the room, Li Fei didn't rush to leave but instead gestured for Zhao Yi to sit down.

"Did Zhao Renjie ever teach you any magic that can be used to conceal your actions in the 'Dream Realm'?" Li Fei suddenly asked.

When Zhao Yi heard this, she was startled and looked at Li Fei with a surprised gaze,

"Is that what Marquis Jing'an told the Ghost King?"

Li Fei smiled, made a gesture that Zhao Yi didn't expect.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on his Evil Ghost Mask, he exerted force to activate it, altering the metal connectors at the back before slowly removing the mask.

Zhao Yi involuntarily held her breath and then widened her eyes dramatically.

She looked incredulously at the familiar face beneath the mask.

A few seconds later, she suddenly realized and quickly stood up to bow to Li Fei:

"Marquis Jing'an, I've seen!"

Li Fei raised his hand to indicate that she should get up, "Sit down and talk."

Zhao Yi sat down again, her gaze towards Li Fei was somewhat fervent.

When she initially agreed under duress to a three-year pact with Li Fei, she had felt some frustration and reluctance.

It was only after she heard the news of Li Fei's ennoblement that she realized how lucky she was!

Having felt the intoxication of power, Li Fei had become someone she admired and looked up to.

"May I know what's the relationship between Marquis Jing'an and the Green-faced Ghost King?" Zhao Yi asked.

Seeing her cautious manner, Li Fei felt somewhat emotional.

At first even though she had set an Oath Technique with him, she had never been this respectful, and sometimes she was quite rude.

Status and power truly create a sense of distance between people.

"I actually liked it better when you were stubborn and uncontrollable; can you go back to being like that?" Li Fei teased.

"Ah?" Zhao Yi was dumbfounded.

Li Fei laughed, controlling the Evil Ghost Mask with his force to revert it to its original form, embedding it into the blade to become the hilt, allowing the Ghost Slash Blade to return to its original form:

"I am the Green-faced Ghost, I always have been."

"...." Zhao Yi was so shocked by Li Fei's previous joke that she fell silent.

"How could it be...you...." She didn't know what to say for a moment.

When she first met Li Fei, he was just a martial master in the Qi Change Early Stage, while the Green-faced Ghost had already displayed the combat power of the Tao Foundation Stage.

How could a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist pretend to be a Qi Change Early Stage Martial Artist?

And when the Green-faced Ghost King climbed the Fengyun Leaderboard, Li Fei had only just broken through to the Tao Foundation Stage less than two months ago.

How could such a freshly advanced Tao Foundation Stage possess the combat power of the Tao Foundation Stage Peak?

This fact was simply too mind-boggling!

Moreover, the force displayed by Li Fei all along was completely different from that shown by the Green-faced Ghost.

Even though Li Fei personally told Zhao Yi, she found it hard to believe.

There had always been speculation about the relationship between Li Fei and the Green-faced Ghost King in the outside world, but no one had ever considered the possibility that they were the same person.

Li Fei sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Zhao Yi to digest the fact.

The reason he chose to reveal the truth to Zhao Yi was that after several months of observation, her performance had gradually won his trust.

Beyond that, an even more important reason was that he was no longer worried about his identity being exposed.

When he had confronted Lan Ruoyun, he decided to use the Myriad Blood Pearl's ability in front of a Martial Arts Master, from that moment on he decided:

In the future, his true self would no longer hide the power of the Myriad Blood Pearl!

Having been ennobled first, and then appointed as Blue Patrol Envoy, Li Fei was no longer concerned about the discovery of his Green-faced Ghost identity.

The Government's warrant for the Green-faced Ghost had long since been rescinded (see Volume 2, Chapter 62).

The one who assassinated the court's special train was the Blood-faced Ghost, who had already been executed.

Now the identity of the Green-faced Ghost King of Datong Prefecture was innocent.

Of course, Li Fei would not deliberately reveal his identity, after all having an alternate identity was sometimes quite convenient.

He just shared this with the trustworthy Zhao Yi for the sake of future communication.

"…The Marquis truly is a miracle." Zhao Yi finally accepted the fact after a long time, with a complex tone.

"Alright, you can answer my question now." Li Fei said.

Zhao Yi nodded, "Zhao Renjie did indeed teach me a magic technique that could use the Dream Command to hide one's traces in the 'Dream Realm' and leave behind a false projection."

"As expected." When Li Fei encountered someone from the Nightmare Sect in the 'Dream Realm,' he had thought of this possibility.

To avoid encountering the Nightmare Sect's people in the 'Dream Realm,' Zhao Renjie must have taken precautions.

After encountering someone from the Nightmare Sect in the 'Dream Realm' of the Daluo Sect, Li Fei had never entered the 'Dream Realm' again.

He needed to be cautious of being targeted by the Nightmare Sect.

In case they were waiting to ambush, he would be immediately exposed once he began to roam the 'Dream Realm.'

Luckily, Zhao Renjie had left a solution.

"Teach me this magic." Li Fei said.

Zhao Yi looked at him in surprise, "Has the Marquis already reached the Late Stage of Divine Transformation?"

Only after reaching the Late Stage of Divine Transformation could one use the Dream Command to cast the 'Gate of Dream Realm' and start roaming the 'Dream Realm.'

Just a few months ago, Li Fei was only in the Early Stage of Divine Transformation, and it is well known that the progress in magic technique cultivation is much slower than in Martial Arts.

"Yes." Li Fei admitted frankly.

"...."

Zhao Yi fell silent.

However, thinking about how Li Fei could rival a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist during his Qi Change Stage, the miracle happening to him didn't seem so miraculous after all.

She then recited the Taoist Technique left by Zhao Renjie to Li Fei.

This technique was called "Shadow Concealing," and it allowed one's subconscious projection to remain hidden in the "Dream Realm."

It could only be accomplished with the use of Dream Command, a True One Magical Artifact specifically crafted for the "Dream Realm."

Li Fei spent over half an hour making sure he had mastered the Shadow Concealing Technique.

He stood up and glanced at Zhao Yi, "From now on, Green-faced Manor shall be managed by you in my stead."

Having said that, his figure disappeared from the room.

Zhao Yi stood there, dumbstruck. A few seconds later, immense joy flooded her heart.

She bowed in the direction Li Fei had left, "Thank you, Marquis!"

...

Wutong District, this region lies at the southernmost edge of Datong Prefecture City and is a focal point for Jianghu people and gang members, with comparatively worse public order.

A few months ago, Wutong District was unified.

The sudden rise of the Ghost Slayer Gang brought the entire area under control; all Jianghu people and gangs either submitted or were killed!

Ironically, once the Ghost Slayer Gang took over, the public order in Wutong District improved significantly.

It had now become the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Gang. Guo Yang led Bai Yukai and Wang Secretary back to Wutong District, along with hundreds of Ghost Slayer Gang members.

After sending Bai Yukai and Wang Secretary to rest in their quarters, Guo Yang headed alone to a mansion.

Originally owned by a local merchant, it now served as the residence of the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader.

The merchant had 'voluntarily' gifted the mansion.

Guo Yang entered the mansion, crossed several corridors, and arrived by the lakeside.

Dusk had fallen; lanterns hung on the lakeside willow branches, swaying gently in the breeze.

The dim light mingled with the shadows on the lake surface, casting hazy halos as if stars had descended to earth.

A man in a white robe stood alone in Lake Heart Pavilion, admiring the view.

He appeared young, with a handsome and scholarly demeanor, like a well-read scholar.

It was hard to imagine that he was the leader of the Ghost Slayer Gang.

"Gang Leader."

From afar, along the lakeshore, Guo Yang bowed deeply towards him.

The young man continued to gaze at the lake and spoke softly, "Come here and talk."

Thus, Guo Yang carefully walked across the gallery to the outside of Lake Heart Pavilion.

He did not dare to step into the pavilion and respectfully reported to the Gang Leader about his visit to Green-faced Manor that evening.

Before the young Gang Leader, this Hall Master, who was fierce and full of killing intent outside, behaved as meekly as a lamb.

The history of the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader was mysterious; he had never appeared in the World before. Even the high-level members within the gang were unaware of his identity. They didn't even know his name and only addressed him as the Gang Leader.

Guo Yang was so reverent because he had personally witnessed the leader severely wounding a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse with a single move!

"Understood, you may leave."

After listening to Guo Yang's report, the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader dismissed him without turning around.

"Yes."

Guo Yang quickly turned and left.

Every time he was in the presence of the Gang Leader, he felt immense pressure.

It was a martial artist's instinct, like standing at the edge of a precipice where a single misstep could lead to a fatal fall!

"Is the Green-faced Ghost really the same person as Li Fei?"

The Ghost Slayer Gang Leader suddenly spoke up.

By this time, Guo Yang had already departed, and he was alone.

Yet, a voice suddenly resonated within the pavilion:

"I am sixty percent certain that these two are the same person."

"Because of that battle in Ling Shoufu City?"

"I observed the fight between the Green-faced Ghost and Gu Yufeng myself; Li Fei's defensive patterns were almost identical to the Green-faced Ghost's."

"The Green-faced Ghost has a deep connection with the Sky Gang Sect, and Li Fei is a successor of the Sky Gang Sect. Isn't it possible that they simply cultivated the same techniques?"

"That is indeed possible, but Hao Yi has never shown such abilities, so I lean towards them being the same person, especially since the Green-faced Ghost King has not been seen for quite some time."

"If they really are the same person, that would be even better for us."

The Ghost Slayer Gang Leader said, "This way, the person holds more value for us to rally."

"But he might be even more difficult to sway."

The voice in the dark replied.

A smile crept onto the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader's face, "How will we know without trying?"

He suddenly turned his gaze across the lake, his eyes twinkling with a dark light.

The next second, he called out towards the opposite shore:

"Since you are here, why lurk in the shadows?"

On the shore, in the spot where the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader was looking, Li Fei, dressed in a black robe, stood silently in the shadows.

After leaving Green-faced Manor, he had come straight to the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Gang to uncover the secrets of this mysterious gang.

He had used the One Leaf Covering Eyes Technique and the Vajra Seal·Treasure Vase, rendering himself nearly invisible.

He hadn't alarmed anyone and had arrived smoothly at the lakeside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got there, he was discovered by the young man in Lake Heart Pavilion.

"Are you the leader of the Ghost Slayer Gang?"

Li Fei no longer hid his presence and stepped out of the shadows.

Upon seeing the Evil Ghost Mask that Li Fei was wearing, a gleam lit up in the eyes of the Ghost Slayer Gang Leader:

"Should I address you as the Green-faced Ghost King or Marquis Jing'an?"
