Chapter 265: A New Identity
“Miss, where are you going?”
“Just going out for a bit, what’s the matter?”
“The Sect Leader has ordered that you must not leave the sect for the next few days.”
The maid looked at Ren Yuning with her head bowed, feeling a bit nervous inside.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yuning’s breath became rapid.
Although she held a decent position within the sect, had ample cultivation resources, and was accompanied by many maids, her father, the Sect Leader, always viewed her as a child.
Clearly, she was a talent within the sect, yet she had never executed any dangerous missions, and her life was mostly smooth sailing, which made it hard for her proud heart to accept.
This was why she had been thinking of doing something significant for the Heaven Demon Sect.
She had just received the news that Ji Yang was currently in Heaven Demon City, and she certainly wanted to rush there to capture Ji Yang herself.
Ren Yuning was about to get angry, but in the next moment, she suddenly calmed down:
“Okay, I understand. I’m going to prepare for cultivation now; you can leave!”
Seeing that Ren Yuning did not reprimand her, argue, or mention going to find the Sect Leader, the maid replied with joy,
“Of course!”
As long as the miss did not go out, everything would be fine.
After all, they were just maids who did not want to offend the miss but also could not defy the Sect Leader’s orders.
Once the maid left the room, Ren Yuning’s formerly calm expression quickly changed, and she coldly huffed,
“They want to keep an eye on me? No way!”
“That person, I must capture him!”
With that, Ren Yuning took a golden talisman from her brand-new storage ring.
As she infused her spiritual energy into it, the golden talisman shimmered with light, soon enveloping Ren Yuning, and in the next moment, her figure vanished from the room.
Outside, the recently departed maid sensed a strong wave of spiritual energy from the room and revealed a faint smile.
Then, the maid walked to a secluded place and secretly sent out a Transmission.
After sending the transmission, the maid pretended as if nothing had happened and continued her usual tasks.
……
“Stop! Where is your identity token?”
“When handling affairs for the Heaven Demon Sect, all idle people must step aside!”
“This is a routine check; please cooperate, friend!”
……
In a dark alley, Ji Yang listened to the search sounds coming from outside, his face showing a hint of caution.
He did not expect the Heaven Demon Sect to act so quickly and domineeringly, starting a large-scale search within Heaven Demon City without regard for other cultivators in the city.
This left Ji Yang somewhat caught off guard.
Moreover, these people held images of Ji Yang, which included detailed personal information, making Ji Yang extremely cautious.
However, after reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage, Ji Yang discovered a new technique within the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill.
The technique was called Facial Alteration!
It might sound ordinary, like a common item.
But as a magic technique included in True Immortal-Level Techniques, its effects were obvious.
This technique could not only change Ji Yang’s appearance and demeanor but also fundamentally alter his basic features.
When combined with the highly effective Breath-Holding Technique, it felt as if he had become a completely different person.
After a little makeover, even acquaintances would be unable to recognize Ji Yang.
However, Heaven Demon City had strict management, and there were rarely anyone without an identity.
If Ji Yang just altered his appearance and changed his clothes, he would still not be able to evade the searches conducted by the Heaven Demon Sect cultivators.
To make this technique work, he also needed an appropriate identity, and that identity couldn’t be fabricated out of thin air.
The identity of the previous Five Poisons Sect disciple, Pang Yuan, could no longer be used; otherwise, he would be caught before he could get far.
At that moment, there were many Heaven Demon Sect cultivators patrolling the streets outside, and Ji Yang couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to steal someone else’s identity.
Just as Ji Yang hesitated, a young man in luxurious clothing, adorned with a jade pendant, suddenly walked into the alley where Ji Yang was.
The young man had an arrogant demeanor, but at that moment, his face showed signs of anger, and he muttered,
“Damn it, Cui Jing, how dare you look down on me! You better hope I don’t find an opportunity!”
After saying this, the young man noticed Ji Yang looking at him in the alley.
Seeing Ji Yang was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and still dared to meet his gaze, while also overhearing his words, the angry young man immediately cast a Fireball Technique toward Ji Yang.
Once he launched the fireball, the young man’s anger subsided somewhat.
After all, he thought, this fireball was enough to kill a mere Foundation Establishment initial-stage idle cultivator, turning his body to ashes.
As the young man coldly watched Ji Yang about to die, he was shocked to see the fireball disappear the moment it made contact with Ji Yang.
He stared in disbelief as he heard Ji Yang mumbling to himself:
“Nascent Soul Stage, a bit high, but I’ll make do!”
Hearing Ji Yang’s muttering, even with rage boiling inside him, the young man sensed something was wrong.
It was unusual for him, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, to fail to deal with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, especially since his fireball technique was not that weak.
He immediately intended to turn around and flee the alley, but before he could move, he felt a sense of restraint surrounding him.
His body, usually under his control, now refused to obey him, causing a flicker of panic in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to cry for mercy.
But the restrictions on his body allowed only slight movements of his lips, producing no sound.
As he watched Ji Yang approach, a wave of fear filled his heart.
Especially when he realized Ji Yang wasn’t in a hurry to attack but instead circled around him, examining him from all directions, his fear escalated immensely.
“Don’t, don’t take off my clothes…”
His silent thoughts were soon extinguished as his consciousness faded away.
“Very good.”
Looking at his new handsome appearance, Ji Yang revealed a faint smile.
As for his original body, it lay half-naked on the cold alley ground.
After changing his identity, Ji Yang glanced at the young man lying on the ground, revealing a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
However, this killing intent quickly faded; he wasn’t one to show mercy to someone who attacked him upon first sight.
But considering the young man’s high ranking and the fact that his clothing was not something an ordinary cultivator could afford, his identity was likely not that of an average cultivator either.
If he acted rashly and killed the young man, he might provoke a series of consequences that would complicate his hiding.
With that in mind, Ji Yang decided to let the young man go for now.
At the very least, he needed to keep him unconscious for a few days until Ji Yang could safely leave the city.
Fortunately, he had some decent primordial spirit Secret Techniques in the Huang Ting Dao Jing that could keep a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator asleep for several days without much trouble.
As for how to hide the young man’s body, he would leave that to the Ancient Soul in the fixed-point object.
He couldn’t just eat without working, could he?
