My Master Knows It All

Cao Zhen had just flown out of the cave and immediately saw a cultivator wearing the same Darkish Demonic Sect attire. His heart skipped a beat; although he had transformed into the other’s appearance, the problem was that he didn’t even know the other’s name, let alone their habits or spells.

The demonic cultivator opposite furrowed his brow and said discontentedly, ”What were you doing running into the cave?”

”I...” Cao Zhen turned his head and stretched out a hand, pointing at the direction of the cave and dragging out his words. Not only did he not know how the other liked to speak, he didn’t even know the sound of the other’s voice. He could only speak less, hoping the person in front of him would interrupt him.

Fortunately, before he could finish, the other impatiently interrupted, ”What’s with the ’I’? Brother Black Gauze said that we should inspect the caves but didn’t say to rush inside looking. Just take a look outside, feel it out, and if we can’t sense any aura, move on.

There are so many caves here, where’s the time to inspect each one slowly? Alright, go check the caves below quickly.”

The man spoke, and without waiting for an answer, turned and flew towards another cave.

Cao Zhen let out a soft sigh of relief. Luckily, this guy interrupted him. It made sense; the person he was impersonating, what was he thinking going into a cave for no reason? Just a glance from outside, checking for any aura, and if nothing’s detected, then move on.

That way, he wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t need to impersonate him.

Now, the problem was how to avoid being exposed and how to escape.

With just these few people, there’s no way he could escape. He had to wait until there were more people before having the chance to slip away unnoticed. Ideally, someone could come to support him, like his disciples.

After all, if he tried flying out alone, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Yes, the One Man Army.

Get the One Man Army to come here, then have the kid use the Earth Escape Technique to sneak him out underground without anyone noticing.

While pretending to search diligently, Cao Zhen quietly contacted Ling Xi through China Cloud.

The One Man Army was always following behind Ling Xi.

Soon, Ling Xi appeared within his sight.

As the celestial aura recovered, Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and the One Man Army left the cave, flying towards where the rainbow disappeared.

”Ling Xi,” Cao Zhen quickly transmitted his voice to Ling Xi, ”you should have seen the rainbow, right? Now fly towards where it disappeared. I’m here, unable to escape easily for now.

Come and assist me in leaving. Don’t worry, I’m not in immediate danger. Once you arrive, I’ll naturally tell you where to meet me.

Also, be careful and stay alert on the way.”

After hurriedly relaying this to Ling Xi, Cao Zhen glanced around, hearing the sound of air being sliced as more people flew in.

Now, everyone could operate celestial and demonic qi, able to fly, greatly increasing their movement speed.

After a few figures flew in, seeing the disciples of the Firmament Sect and Darkish Demonic Sect searching around, they didn’t need to ask to know what these two Great Teachings were doing.

Soon, they too sped up their search.

Gradually, more and more people flew in from the void, and the void became filled with those staying in place.

Cao Zhen scanned around, suppressing the urge to change his identity stealthily. There still weren’t enough people, and these were hardly lone wolves. A sudden change in identity would surely raise suspicion; he could only continue waiting.

After a bit more, once there are even more people, there will surely be greater conflicts, then he could find a chance to escape.

After about another incense stick’s time, the number of experts gathered on this peak had more than doubled.

Cao Zhen noticed people everywhere.

With so many people, there should be some loners, right?

Cao Zhen had a thought, preparing to enter a cave, change his identity, then blend into the crowd.

But just as he was about to move, a disciple in Darkish Demonic Sect attire flew over beside him, grabbing his hand, saying, ”Brother Xinwu, Brother told us to gather now that there are so many people.”

”Gather?” Cao Zhen glanced at the person before him, another indestructible period cultivator of the Darkish Demonic Sect. After all, he didn’t know the other’s name, which wasn’t important. What’s important is, why gather now? Not earlier, not later, but right when he was about to leave quietly. Are they deliberately trying to thwart me?

Also, why are you so eager? Holding onto me like this, how am I supposed to run?

Cao Zhen sighed helplessly in his heart; now there’s no way to escape.

It would be easy to eliminate the person in front of him, but the problem is, if he did that, others would immediately notice, and that would be courting death!

Another Darkish Demonic Sect cultivator urged impatiently, ”Yes, gather. Brother Xinwu, stop asking so many questions, let’s find Brother first lest we’re too slow.”

He sighed helplessly in his heart, having no choice but to follow the cultivator before him towards their brother—but he did realize that the person he was impersonating was called Xinwu.
