Initially, Lu Ye intended to wait for everyone to disperse before leaving. Much to his surprise, the situation escalated instead as more and more people ca.
He knew he couldn’t keep hiding. It wasn’t that he had been exposed. It was just that many cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge had either walked past him or flown past him from above. So of them were Divine Ocean Realm Masters.
To look for the wandering flying swords from the Hidden Realm, so cultivators carefully searched every corner, almost exposing Lu Ye’s whereabouts on several occasions.
In such a situation, it was almost impossible for Lu Ye to hide anywhere. Once cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge discovered his whereabouts, things would beco troubleso.
After giving it so thought, he made a decision. Since he couldn’t keep hiding, he decided to stop doing that.
Given the situation, it would be safer for him to show up in public than act stealthily. But before that, he had to put on a disguise. Naturally, he couldn’t show up with his original appearance and identity.
After all, he was a famous figure among those from Thousand Demon Ridge. Even the Divine Ocean Realm Masters were eager to get rid of him for good. Once he was exposed, he would end up in a more horrible state than Nian Yuexian.
Certainly, he couldn’t disguise himself as Niu ng either. He had entered Lone Cloud City Pass as Niu ng before. Many people had seen him at that ti, and Ying Wuji was aware of that identity as well.
In that case, he could only create a new identity. After so deliberation, he activated his Spiritual Power and changed the Red Dragon Warsuit’s colour. He turned the warsuit into white.
Following that, he rummaged through his Storage Sphere and found a Spirit Artifact that looked like a mirror.
It was rely a High-Grade Defensive Spirit Artifact which could be used against so spells. It wasn’t so useful to Lu Ye. Other than that, it could indeed be used as a mirror.
Looking into the mirror, he activated Thousand Faces and altered his appearance. Of the seven new Glyphs he had acquired, he had no idea what the Twin Lotus Flowers could be used for, and there was no one he could use Two Hearts Beating as One on. Apart from these two Glyphs, he had tried out the rest.
Thousand Faces was a Glyph that could help him alter his appearance. There was no doubt it was imnsely useful, especially to Lu Ye in this situation. It was a wonderful skill that could help him get out of trouble.
Moreover, the appearance altered with Thousand Faces wasn’t illusory. It was achieved by contorting the flesh of the face.
In other words, the alteration was real; it wasn’t just an illusion.
As Lu Ye looked into the mirror, he built Thousand Faces on his face and controlled the Glyph’s power to change his appearance.
A mont later, a handso face appeared in the reflection. He pulled the mirror away and saw an energetic young man with fair skin, thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes as bright as Stars. Coupled with his white clothes, he looked stunning.
[Isn’t this face too handso?] Lu Ye furrowed his brows. [Forget it. It’s a new identity anyway. I’m too lazy to keep making changes.]
He then kept the Inviolable Saber and fished out a sword from his Storage Sphere before attaching it to his waist. A handso young Sword Cultivator was born just like this.
In the Sword and Tool Sect, when Lu Ye told Kong Kong he was a Sword Cultivator, Ying Wuji almost burst into laughter.
Strictly speaking, he wasn’t lying. He had co across many powerful Sword Cultivators when he looked into the Soaring Dragon Boundary’s Source. His soul was attached to them as he grew with them. It could even be said that his mastery of the Way of Swords was just as good as his mastery of the Way of Blades.
However, since the Way of Blades was the most suitable for him, he didn’t decide to use a sword instead. Only when one found what was best for him would he achieve greater heights. Otherwise, he could only learn from others but never surpass them.
After giving it so thought, he fished out the Sword Gourd given to him by Kong Kong and attached it to his waist.
Li Baxian was always dressed like this. In comparison, the Sword Gourd was much smaller than what Li Baxian was wearing.
With his new disguise, Lu Ye calmly stepped out of his hiding place and flew into the sky.
Wherever he went, he would bump into many Thousand Demon Ridge cultivators in groups, but both parties never ca into contact.
These people could never imagine that a cultivator from the Grand Sky Coalition was brave enough to move around in the opposing side’s hinterland.
It was said that the most dangerous place was also the safest. Certainly, Lu Ye was confident because he had a way to deal with anyone who wanted to verify his identity.
As long as he could stay away from this place and leave the Desolate Plain, he could sneak back to Blue Fla Mountain Pass.
Nothing much happened during the journey. Just as Lu Ye thought it would be smooth sailing for him, a group of people suddenly approached him. Before they even ca near, Lu Ye was shocked. That was because he felt a Divine Ego scanning him.
When he lifted his gaze, he saw that the group leader was a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She was clad in an imperial dress, which perfectly outlined her curvy figure.
What concerned Lu Ye wasn’t the woman’s alluring face and figure; it was her cultivation. The woman was a Divine Ocean Realm Master!
Although he had bumped into so people before, none of them were Divine Ocean Realm Masters. That was why Lu Ye didn’t feel any pressure. Now that he ca across a Divine Ocean Realm Master all of a sudden, he wasn’t certain if the other party could see through his disguise.
He had decided to alter his appearance using Thousand Faces after a long consideration. It was much better than if he put on a face mask.
In this situation, anyone who was wearing a face mask would appear too sneaky and catch a lot of attention instead.
The Real Lake Realm Masters behind the woman were searching around. It seed that they were either looking for Nian Yuexian or the flying swords.
Since both parties were facing each other directly, Lu Ye quickly stepped aside and hung his head low. He decided to wait for these people to move past him before he would leave.
He could feel that the Divine Ocean Realm Master temporarily set her gaze on his face before looking away. These people soon walked past Lu Ye.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a woman from the group of cultivators suddenly said sweetly, “Martial Aunt, that person is on his own. If he bumps into the wicked woman, he’ll be dood. I’ve heard that the wicked woman has killed many people this ti. Why don’t we bring him with us?”
“Why are you even concerned about him? In such a situation, he still has the guts to move around on his own. He’s either too greedy or too arrogant. Even if he’s going to get killed, he deserves it,” said another person.
“But he’s from Thousand Demon Ridge, after all…”
“I think you just don’t have the heart to see him die because he’s handso.” That person snorted.
“Stop spouting nonsense! That’s not true!” The woman blushed.
As they spoke, the Divine Ocean Realm Master stopped in her tracks and said, “Indeed, he’s from Thousand Demon Ridge, after all. Since we’ve bumped into him, we should take him with us.”
“I’ll tell him about it,” the woman said again.
This was giving Lu Ye a headache as he listened to their conversation from a distance. He didn’t expect to invite so much trouble to himself just because he had made his face handso. If he knew this would be the outco, he would’ve made himself look ordinary.
When he lifted his gaze, he saw a woman flying towards him. Although her figure wasn’t curvy, she had a big chest. Despite that, she still had a slim waist. Lu Ye was instantly attracted to her appearance.
Noticing Lu Ye’s stare, the woman blushed. She stopped in her tracks ten tres away from Lu Ye and saluted him. “Greetings, Junior Brother.”
Since she was in the Seventh-Order Real Lake Realm, she was more powerful than Lu Ye. Also, she was supposedly older. As such, it was alright for her to call Lu Ye ‘Junior Brother’.
“What’s the matter, Senior Sister?” Lu Ye saluted her back.
“My Martial Aunt would like to talk to you,” the woman replied and turned to look at the Divine Ocean Realm Master behind her.
Lu Ye knew what she wanted, so he intended to turn her down. However, when he noticed the Divine Ocean Realm Master’s stare, he had no choice but to agree to it. “Sure.”
He then followed the woman to et the Divine Ocean Realm Master. He saluted her and said, “Greetings, Senior.”
The Divine Ocean Realm Master frowned. “Which Sect and Pass are you from? Don’t you know the situation here is dangerous as there’s a Divine Ocean Realm Master from the Grand Sky Coalition kicking up a storm here? How do you have the guts to take action on your own?”
Lu Ye imdiately pretended to be shocked. “There’s an enemy in the Divine Ocean Realm here? I have no idea. I’ve only heard that there are many opportunities here, so I’ve decided to co here to try my luck.”
There was nothing wrong with his statent. After all, many flying swords had erged from the Hidden Realm. In the past two days when Lu Ye had been hiding, he saw many Thousand Demon Ridge cultivators searching around for the flying swords.
The Divine Ocean Realm Master scowled. “How are you not aware of it?”
The transmission of news in Jiu Zhou was rapid. As long as this young man was a Thousand Demon Ridge cultivator, there was no way he wasn’t aware of the latest news. This aroused her suspicion.
Lu Ye had already co up with an excuse in advance, so he said, “To be honest with you, Senior, I’m from the Peerless Continent. I only ca to Jiu Zhou recently, so I’m not familiar with the affairs here.”
“You’re from the Peerless Continent?” All of them looked curiously at him.
After the rger with the Cloud River Battlefield, many cultivators from the Peerless Continent showed up in Jiu Zhou. This wasn’t a secret, so most cultivators had heard of it.
Nevertheless, Jiu Zhou was expansive. The cultivators from the Peerless Continent were scattered around Jiu Zhou, so it was difficult to co across any of them.
That was why their curiosity was piqued when Lu Ye said he was from the Peerless Continent. He was a cultivator from another world, after all. That was why they wanted to find out if he was different from cultivators in Jiu Zhou.
“That’s right.” Lu Ye nodded. “I only joined Thousand Demon Ridge recently, but I haven’t beco part of the Zhou Watch yet. I’m sure you know a thing or two about the Peerless Continent, Senior. Jiu Zhou is significantly more expansive in comparison. I’d like to visit more places before I decide to work for the Zhou Watch. When I passed by this place, I heard there were many opportunities, which was why I ca here to try my luck. I’m a Sword Cultivator, so I’m naturally interested in those flying swords.”
“I see.” The Divine Ocean Realm Master nodded, but no one knew if she believed him.
Anyway, Lu Ye’s statent was impeccable, and he didn’t seem to be lying.
“Well, now you know that there aren’t only opportunities here. This place is also dangerous. A powerful, wicked woman from the Grand Sky Coalition has been killing our people in the Desolate Plain. You’d better co with us. With my Martial Aunt around, it’ll be safer than if you’re on your own,” said the woman who had led Lu Ye here.
