Daimon Qianmian was a Protector of the Ghost King Sect. Despite being only at the Golden Core Stage of his cultivation, he had mastered an extrely bizarre ancient secret technique—the Thousand Faces Demonic Technique.
This technique allowed him to conceal his cultivation level and Demonic Qi, making him indistinguishable from an ordinary person. Furthermore, having cultivated this Demonic Technique to great mastery, he could peel the skin from others and wear it over his own, allowing him to freely change his appearance and physique.
It was almost impossible to see through his disguise unless one was a Nascent Soul Venerable, an entire major realm higher in cultivation. Even then, a Nascent Soul Venerable would find it difficult to notice anything amiss without close observation, giving him a high chance of fooling them and slipping away.
Relying on this extraordinary skill, Daimon Qianmian had brazenly committed cris within the territories of the Great Immortal Gates on more than one occasion, always managing to walk away scot-free. As he committed more and more cris, he eventually began to do it purely for the thrill, deliberately infiltrating the jurisdictions of the Great Immortal Gates to hunt their disciples. He would strike and then vanish, moving to a new location each ti. His madness knew no bounds.
...
The massacre at the Zhao Residence was a perfect example. On the surface, it appeared to be a simple case of a Malicious Ghost killing people. The actual truth, however, was far different.
Two months ago, while lurking in Maple City, Daimon Qianmian had accidentally learned that Miss Nie Linglan of the Nie Family possessed the extrely rare Nine Yin constitution, making her a Nine Yin Girl. He imdiately concocted a devious plan, intending to use Nie Linglan’s fate to orchestrate a clever substitution.
He spent nearly half a month infiltrating the Nie Residence, using maids and servants to learn everything about Nie Linglan’s habits and preferences until he knew them by heart. Then, he went and skinned Ning Haoran, a talented scholar from Maple City, and assud his identity. Taking advantage of the Lantern Festival, he arranged a romantic encounter with Nie Linglan, a perfect eting between a scholar and a beauty.
For an old demon-head with two hundred years of experience, backed by half a month of preparation, deceiving a naive teenage girl was almost too easy.
Nie Linglan quickly fell head over heels for Ning Haoran, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him. However, Daimon Qianmian, in his disguise, always maintained a respectful distance, never so much as holding her hand. It wasn’t because he was a gentleman, but because a Nine Yin Girl had to maintain her pure yin virginity to reach her maximum potential. Once the Malicious Ghost was fully ford, he could play with her however he pleased; there was no need to rush.
Thus, Nie Linglan fell even deeper in love with the ’upright gentleman’ Ning Haoran. She was prepared to marry no one else and even considered eloping with him.
As a result, at the very peak of her affection, she was cruelly betrayed by Ning Haoran and trapped in the Zhao Residence. The eldest son of the Zhao Family attempting to assault her on the night of the San Niang’s Day of Misfortune, followed by Nie Linglan hanging herself at midnight out of utter despair—all of these "coincidences" were orchestrated by Daimon Qianmian.
His goal was to cultivate Nie Linglan into a supre Nine Yin Fierce Ghost and then enslave her for his own use. The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls he was refining had already gathered the required ten thousand resentful spirits to take its initial form; all it lacked was a core Artifact Spirit powerful enough to command it.
On the San Niang’s Day of Misfortune, Nie Linglan was to devour all the Yin Sha Qi in the Zhao Residence, then consu the blood essence and spirits of the three True Disciples from the Sanqing Immortal Sect. By then, she would beco a supre Ghost General nearly at the Golden Core Stage. She would be the most fitting Artifact Spirit for Daimon Qianmian’s Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and might even use the artifact’s power to break through and beco a Ghost Marshal.
In that case, the power of the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls would undergo an ultimate transformation, and Daimon Qianmian’s combat strength would increase manifold!
As for a manhunt from the Sanqing Immortal Sect? Those True Disciples died while subduing the Nine Yin Fierce Ghost. What does that have to do with , Daimon Qianmian? He was never part of the ga; he was the chess player watching from outside the board.
...
He channeled a spell into the Communication Token. Soon, a stunningly beautiful face, seductive to the bone, appeared on the screen. She was dressed in a thin, red gauze gown, her graceful figure faintly visible through the fabric. The hem of the red dress was slit high up her thigh, creating a striking contrast with her snow-white skin. With every twist of her body, she displayed curves that sent one’s blood surging. She constantly exuded a fatal allure that could make a man’s mouth go dry and his mind fill with lustful thoughts. Even a high monk from the Buddhist Sect would break his vows in her presence.
Red Enchanting Snake Princess. One of the Nine Great Elders of the Ghost King Sect. Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Stage.
Having cultivated the art of seduction to its peak, she could ensnare countless n’s souls with a single smile or frown. The other Elders had all, to a greater or lesser extent, so ’relations’ with her.
However, Snake Ji’s favorite old fla was none other than Daimon Qianmian. This was because Daimon Qianmian, having mastered the Thousand Faces Demonic Technique, could change his appearance at will.
COUGH. COUGH.
Having such a lover was like having ten, or even a hundred. He could even switch faces mid-act, doubling the pleasure. For this very reason, the Red Enchanting Snake Princess doted on Daimon Qianmian, her nominal subordinate, even funding the materials for his refinent of the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
"My lord, when will you return?" the Red Enchanting Snake Princess asked, casting a coquettish glance. Her voice was plaintive yet crisp, enough to make one’s heart tremble. "I long to ’cultivate’ with you again!"
Wow, this little vixen is really sothing!
Daimon Qianmian took a sharp breath, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. "Don’t be impatient. I’ll be back as soon as I deal with those brats from the Sanqing Immortal Sect and finish forging the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls."
"Sister i," he continued, "I found an exceptionally handso man this ti in Maple City. I hear he’s a True Disciple from the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s Divination Sect, nad Wang Xiu. I have never seen a youth like him. All of my previous collectibles are like trash compared to him. You just wait. I’ll find a chance to kill him and take his skin. Then, wearing his face, I’ll make you ascend to the heavens~!"
An exceptionally handso man?
The Red Enchanting Snake Princess stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, a look of longing in her eyes as her anticipation grew. One had to understand that Daimon Qianmian, with his face-changing secret technique, had road all over Nanzhou. He had seen countless handso n, and his collection included those with the legendary beauty of Pan An and Song Yu.
Yet he claid that all his previous collectibles were trash compared to this boy nad Wang Xiu?
She could hardly imagine how handso this Wang Xiu must be!
The Red Enchanting Snake Princess’s gaze was as bewitching as water. She giggled. "Then I shall wait in the Ghost King Sect for your triumphant return. Rember to protect yourself, and don’t get discovered. That place is, after all, under the jurisdiction of the Sanqing Immortal Sect. Once those Taoists discover a Demon Cultivator, they are relentless. If you get tangled up with them and miss next month’s Great Demonic Sacrifice, it will be troubleso."
Discovered?
Daimon Qianmian scoffed. "How could those slly cow-noses possibly discover ? Don’t worry! I’m not just bragging! With my Thousand Faces Demonic Technique at great mastery, as long as I hide in a commoner’s ho, even if the Sanqing Immortal Sect sends out those Great Abilities from the Soul Travel Stage or Saints from the Saint Manifestation Stage to hunt down, they’ll only end up eating dust!"
