Chapter 264: Entering the City
While asking, the guarding demonic path cultivator fixed his gaze on Ji Yang’s face, trying to discern if Ji Yang was lying.
Faced with this person’s rapid-fire questions, Ji Yang calmly answered one by one:
“I’m Pang Yuan, a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect. I have come to the city to purchase some spiritual insects for my cultivation.”
“Sir, please see, this is my identity token!”
With that, Ji Yang took out a black identity token engraved with the images of five spiritual beasts, which belonged to the Five Poisons Sect.
Of course, this identity token was not Ji Yang’s; he had just taken it from the man’s possessions while removing his clothing.
He had to maintain the act, and fortunately, he had been cautious; otherwise, he would surely have been exposed.
After all, aside from the top demonic sects, he was not familiar with the smaller sects.
Disguising himself as a disciple of a large sect was too risky.
The guarding demonic path cultivator, upon hearing Ji Yang’s detailed explanation, carefully examined the identity token in his hand before nodding.
“Pay two spiritual stones, and you can go in.”
“Thank you, thank you!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang quickly bowed and nodded, his face displaying a flattering smile.
Just as Ji Yang handed over the spiritual stones and prepared to enter the city, a voice called out from behind him:
“Wait!”
Ji Yang turned around and discovered that the one stopping him was none other than the Spirit Transformation Stage steward from the Heaven Demon Sect, who had been standing nearby.
After calling out to Ji Yang, this Spirit Transformation Stage steward lightly spoke,
“It’s rare to meet a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect here. Coincidentally, I have a friend in the Five Poisons Sect. If you don’t mind, could you let me know how that friend is doing?”
With this, the Spirit Transformation Stage steward squinted his eyes and fixed a scrutinizing gaze on Ji Yang.
“Of course, but I wonder which one of my friends from the Five Poisons Sect is your acquaintance?” Ji Yang responded calmly, but inside he was cursing.
Didn’t he have a way to Transmission? Why did he have to ask me?
How would I know who is in the Five Poisons Sect?
If he asked me this, wouldn’t that definitely expose me?
At this moment, Ji Yang’s peripheral vision already pinpointed an escape route. Once exposed, he could immediately make a run for it; even Elder Guan couldn’t catch up to him, let alone this Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator. However, uttering such words would likely reveal his identity.
Noticing Ji Yang’s calm expression, the Spirit Transformation Stage steward’s eyes revealed a hint of intrigue, but he continued to ask:
“My friend is Elder Zheng of the Five Poisons Sect; do you know him?”
Just as Ji Yang was about to respond, a loud shout suddenly came from a nearby guard disciple:
“Don’t run!”
As the words spread, a figure swiftly flew away into the distance!
At that moment, the steward who was speaking with Ji Yang’s eyes sparkled, and he immediately flew out to chase after them!
Watching the two figures move away, Ji Yang remained expressionless.
The cultivator beside him simply waved his hand:
“Let’s go, let’s go.
You have nothing to do with this!”
Ji Yang stepped forward and blended into the bustling crowd of Heaven Demon City.
Just as Ji Yang was leaving, a familiar figure appeared at the city gate.
It was Elder Guan, who had come to Heaven Demon City. As Elder Guan looked back at the city, he caught a glimpse of a familiar silhouette passing by before it vanished.
This made Elder Guan frown; he felt that figure resembled Ji Yang.
After all, he had been chasing Ji Yang for so long and had a deep impression of his back.
Just as Elder Guan prepared to pursue and check, he saw the departing steward capturing the fleeing cultivator and swiftly returning.
“What happened?”
“I greet you, Elder Guan.”
“This man is just a wanted cultivator of our Heaven Demon Sect and has nothing to do with the person we are looking for.”
“Hm, I understand. Have there been any suspicious individuals found during recent inspections?”
“Reporting to the Elder, none have been discovered.”
After hearing this, Elder Guan let out a cold snort and was about to leave, but the steward hesitated for a moment and then said,
“However, just before catching this man, I did find a disciple from the Five Poisons Sect who seemed a bit suspicious!”
“Hmm? What was suspicious about him? Tell me in detail!” Elder Guan immediately inquired.
“Yes, I discovered that although he had the identity token of the Five Poisons Sect and was dressed like a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, his skin was fair and delicate, not at all like someone who had been in contact with spiritual beasts for a long time. Also, that person gave me a peculiar feeling.”
“What is that person’s name? What realm is he in? Where is he now?”
Seeing Elder Guan’s urgent questions, the steward did not dare to delay and hurriedly replied,
“He claims to be Pang Yuan of the Five Poisons Sect, at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment. However, he should have already entered the city since I was catching him just now.”
“Hmph, useless!”
“Why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter earlier?” Elder Guan scolded.
At the same time, the silhouette he had just seen overlapped with Ji Yang’s figure.
So unique, combined with being at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, he was sure that person was Ji Yang!
The steward, being reprimanded, looked aggrieved. Hadn’t he just come back and said so? How could this be blamed on him?
But he dared not speak this out loud.
After the anger, Elder Guan quickly calmed down and revealed a slight smile.
He admired Ji Yang’s courage!
Though the Heaven Demon Sect was large, searching for him on a grand scale was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why would Ji Yang return to Heaven Demon City, was he seeking his own doom?
Compared to searching outside, it was certainly easier to search within Heaven Demon City!
Elder Guan soon issued a command to search for Pang Yuan’s traces in the city. Once that person was discovered, they must not act rashly and immediately inform him!
He knew Ji Yang’s realm well and had quickly learned about Ji Yang’s general information after entering the city.
Upon learning that Ji Yang had reached the Spirit Transformation stage in such a short time after entering the sect, Elder Guan was extremely shocked.
Although it was rumored to be Heaven’s Jealousy, this was a bit too exaggerated.
But upon seeing that Ji Yang was a disciple of the He Dao Sect’s Ye Wuchen, Elder Guan calmed down a bit.
Such talent, what a pity he wasn’t a disciple of the Heaven Demon Sect!
But no matter what, he had to capture Ji Yang this time, preferably himself, so he could earn merit in the sect and uncover Ji Yang’s secret to breaking through three realms.
And this secret, for now, he had not disclosed to the sect!
This was his personal ambition!
…
“Whew, that was close!”
“I almost got caught!”
At that moment, Ji Yang walked into an alley, feeling relieved.
After a series of twists and turns, just when he had managed to enter the city, he suddenly spotted Elder Guan.
At that moment, Elder Guan also noticed him.
The powerful primordial spirit energy allowed Ji Yang to sense quickly, and he immediately slipped through the crowd to escape.
Though Elder Guan had not pursued him right now, this identity could no longer be used.
He needed to change his identity again!
