The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Fog Forest (5)
Li Qing used the [Devil Shadow Without a Trace] secret art, as if he had transformed into a ghost that didn’t show any signs and followed closely behind this group of people.

Due to the strange lamp dispersing the fog and guiding the direction, the Immortal Confusion Array had lost its effect in some areas, so it wouldn’t lose track of them.

By eavesdropping on the conversations between these people, he soon understood what was going on.

The reason for this was that the remnants of the Yin Yang Devil Sect had found a Branch Altar Master of the Blood Sea Devil Sect and worked together to retrieve the treasures of the Yin Yang Devil Emperor.

Afterwards, they discovered that they were a little short-handed, so it was difficult for them to accomplish this. Thus, they went to City Lord Baifu and asked him to collect the materials for the construction of the blood pool, and bestowed the remnants of the Yin Yang Profound Demon Grand Technique as a reward.

Now, City Lord Baifu felt that his confidence was lacking. He was afraid that they would kill him and silence him after the matter was done. Thus, he sought the backing of the Lu Clan in Xin’an City and used this as a condition for the Lu Clan to take action against Jiangyuan City.

This is a strange group of collaborators.

The core secrets were all in the hands of the remnants of the Yin Yang Devil Sect. However, the rest of the collaborators were all scheming and thinking about taking the treasure all by themselves. Even the weakest City Lord Baifu did not have such thoughts.

It was hard to say who would be the final winner in a fight between kiwis and clams.

Since Li Qing had already sorted out the origins of these things, he couldn’t help but think to himself, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll come to a mantis to catch cicadas. The yellow bird will be in the back.”

Such a group of people with evil intentions would definitely turn hostile in the end. Li Qing planned to follow behind this group of people all the time. After they had finished killing, they would come out to harvest their heads. At that time, they would be easily annihilated.

He was very careful and did not lose his mind because of this. If he revealed any clues and was discovered by the people in front of him, then the plan would fail.

This group of people did not find anyone following them. They used that magical lamp to disperse the fog. They walked forward and talked all the way. They revealed many secrets. Li Qing heard them and secretly remembered them in his heart.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group of people in front suddenly stopped.

“We’re here!” City Lord Baifu said in a deep voice.

In front of them was a small stone mountain, piled with strange stones, and there was nothing strange about it. Could it be that the gathering place of those Diabolism characters is actually here?

“Where are they?” City Lord Lu asked.

“And don’t be anxious!” City Lord Baifu was extremely calm. Obviously, he had already been here more than once. He then took a step forward and shouted towards the stone mountain, “City Lord Baifu requests to see you!”

The voice echoed in the stone mountain for a while before disappearing without a trace. Silence returned to this place, as if there was no reaction.

They were not in a hurry and waited quietly.

After a while, a huge boulder suddenly opened in the middle of the mountain, revealing a deep cave inside.

Two people wearing blood robes slowly walked out of the depths of the cave. They looked a little eerie and filled with the aura of blood. They sized up City Lord Baifu’s group of people and asked, “City Lord Baifu, may I know the origins of these people beside you?”

Although these two blood-robed warriors are only Houtian realm martial artists, City Lord Baifu did not dare to neglect them. He immediately replied, “They are from the Lu Clan of Xin’an City. I have already told the Blood Eagle Altar Master that I will bring them here to meet him. I have already obtained his consent.”

“So it’s from the Lu Clan. The Blood Hawk Altar Master has indeed instructed. Since that’s the case, please come in.” The two blood-robed men moved aside and signaled for them to enter.

City Lord Baifu turned around and said to the people from the Lu Clan, “Come, let’s go in. Those people are hidden inside.”

Facing the bottomless cave in front of them, the people of the Lu Clan exchanged glances, nodded their heads, and followed City Lord Baifu into the cave.

Of the two blood-robed men who had just walked out, one of them led everyone into the depths of the cave, while the other did not immediately follow suit.

This person stood outside silently for a while and looked around carefully. He did not find anything unusual, so he walked to the side, wanting to lift that huge boulder and seal the entrance of the cave again.

These people from Diabolism were really cautious. In such a remote place, they actually arranged their hiding place in such a concealed manner that they didn’t dare to be careless at all.

It was fine to hide in a deep cave. Even the entrance to the cave had to be sealed. Only when there was nothing strange outside did he feel relieved to enter.

Just as the blood-robed man turned around and raised the boulder, Li Qing quietly appeared behind him like a ghost. Then, he reached out and lightly patted him, knocking him unconscious.

Against a Houtian realm martial artist, it was naturally easy to capture without making any noise.

Li Qing reached out and grabbed the fainted blood-robed man. With a flash of his figure, he arrived at a remote place and took off the blood-robed man’s robe. Then, he put it on himself.

He first carefully observed the appearance of the blood-robed man on the ground, and then his body changed for a while, becoming exactly the same as the person who fell to the ground, and even his figure was no different.

Even the people closest to him couldn’t tell the difference at first glance.

Apart from the fact that he didn’t have the Blood Fiend Qi on him, the rest of the items on his exterior were exactly the same. It was simply a perfect replica.

This kind of method should be able to fool them. They shouldn’t be able to discover any problems in a short period of time.

Of course, if it was too long, they would still reveal their carelessness. However, Li Qing estimated that the matter they were plotting would probably not last for a long time, so the problem was not that big.

He threw a palm at the blood-robed man and killed him, digging a hole and burying him on the spot. From now on, there was no longer this person in the world. Li Qing took his place.

After doing all these things, Li Qing quietly returned to the entrance of the cave, lifted the huge rock, and sealed the entrance of the cave.

Looking at this deep and secluded cave, he didn’t know what kind of danger was hidden inside. Li Qing took a deep breath and calmed down. He began to walk inside.

As there were many torches lit on the stone wall, it was not as dark as he had imagined. At the very least, he could still see clearly.

Not long after he walked in, he met a man in a blood robe. He was the companion he had just met.

Li Qing’s heart was a little nervous, but there was no unusual expression on his face. He treated himself as a blood-robed person and walked forward calmly.

“Why does it take so long to seal the cave entrance?” That person asked casually. Sure enough, he didn’t find any problems.

Li Qing imitated the voice of the blood-robed man and replied, “I’ll go see if there’s anything unusual in the surroundings. I’ve wasted some time.”

“Oh, did you find anything unusual?”

“No, this place is so hidden. How could anyone discover it?” Li Qing replied.

The man nodded his head, but he did not take these things to heart.

Li Qing got away with it and wanted to continue walking inside.

The man immediately reached out and stopped him. “Wait, what are you doing in there? Don’t you know we’re staying here?”

Li Qing was stunned and realized that he was a little anxious. If he made a mistake, how could an ordinary guard casually enter?

His mind raced as he slowly said, “Well… I have something I want to report to the Altar Master.”

“Do you have something to report? Is it important?” A trace of suspicion appeared on the man’s face.

“Yes, very important matters should be reported to the Altar Master in person.” Li Qing’s expression did not change.

“Alright then, you can go in. Remember to come back quickly.”

Under the preconceived notion, that person did not suspect that Li Qing was an imposter at all. He quickly believed him. Therefore, after questioning him for a while, he let him go. However, he did not care too much.

“Alright, I’m going in.”

After getting rid of this person, Li Qing continued to walk inside. This cave was extremely deep, dim and deep. It was unknown where it led to. After walking for a while, he actually encountered two more blood-robed men guarding him.

“What are you doing here?” They stopped Li Qing.

Li Qing calmly replied, “I have something to report to the Altar Master.”

“What is it?”

“This … this is confidential, I’m afraid I can’t tell you.” He had a look of embarrassment on his face, and his acting was very good.

“It’s mysterious. Hurry up and enter.” They were all his own people, and they knew each other, so the guards did not make things difficult for him.

Li Qing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. The guards here were really tight. I wonder what will happen inside.

He continued to walk inside.

Just like that, there were a total of ten checkpoints along the way. The guards would stop Li Qing and interrogate him. Li Qing had also fooled him with the excuse from before, but he didn’t reveal any flaws.

The main reason was that Li Qing’s appearance was exactly the same as that of the blood-robed man. They all treated him as one of their own and did not find anything abnormal. Who would have thought that there would actually be such a secret art in the world, imitating and replicating all the physical features of others, in order to be fake?

After passing through these checkpoints, there were no more guards behind them. This cave was very deep. Li Qing walked down for a few miles before finally reaching the terminal.

“Successfully infiltrated!”

A trace of joy appeared on his face. Relying on the heaven-defying abilities of the Myriad Demon True Body, he had transformed into another person. He had actually tricked so many guards into arriving at this core place. This peerless technique was simply too useful.

In front of him was a huge stone door. The door was hidden, and one could vaguely see what was happening inside. Li Qing moved forward bit by bit and quietly came to the side of the stone door. He looked inside.
