Chapter 485: Tricky



"Liao Jinming"'s real name is Ma Jin.

Xiang Sheng learned from his memory that he was originally just a casual cultivator. Three years ago, he killed a disciple of a major sect and stole the treasure and escaped. After the crime was exposed, he was left with nowhere to go and chose to join the Pantheon.

Because he had joined the Pantheon for too short a time, although Ma Jin had decent cultivation, he could not even get a guardian position in the Pantheon.

Therefore, he knew very little about the ambush plan in the Hunyuan Secret Realm. He only knew that the person who gave the order was a hall master of the Pantheon, but he didn't know which one it was.

Fortunately, when the Palace Master came in this time, in addition to carrying out the plan, he also asked all his subordinates to hand over 30% of their harvest for him to practice.

Although the Pantheon only looks at the results and not the process, such acts of embezzlement are ultimately dishonorable. If traces are left in the open, it will be easy for others to catch them.

Therefore, the hall master gave up the idea of ​​using the mother-child communication talisman and secretly agreed with his subordinates to hand over the harvest at a fixed location.

In other words, the hall master has been practicing near the agreed location and will not change his location easily.

Xiang Sheng found the location in his memory and was about to leave, but he saw Xu Tianming still standing in front of him with a well-behaved look on his face. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be a little... aggrieved?

A hint of confusion flashed across Xiang Sheng's eyes, and his gaze shifted slightly, falling on a pile of jade bottles neatly arranged on the ground.

She extended her hand and took away the jade bottle containing the Out-of-Body Stage's top-grade vitality, saying, "The rest is for you to deal with as you please."

After saying that, Xiang Sheng turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Tianming got anxious and blurted out, "Wait!"

Xiang Sheng paused, turned around and looked at Xu Tianming with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Tianming's face quickly turned red. After a moment's hesitation, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle Master, can I follow you?"

Xiang Sheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the small pile of jade bottles on the ground.

Xu Tianming understood what she meant, and without saying a word, he took out two sacks from his storage ring, put all the jade bottles in them, and carried them on his shoulders.

Patting the bulging package on his shoulder, Xu Tianming smiled with his white teeth showing: "Uncle Master, how are you now?"

Looking at his face, Xiang Sheng no longer looked like a swordsman, but more like a peddler carrying a bag and walking through the streets.

Then again, since arriving in Xizhou, she hadn't been to the secular world for a long time...

Xiang Sheng's heart was touched, his eyes softened, and he said softly, "It's up to you."

After saying that, Xiang Sheng turned and left.

Xu Tianming knew that she had agreed, his smile became even brighter, and he hurriedly followed her.

A day and a night later, Xiang Sheng arrived near the agreed location. Suddenly, he heard a "crackling" sound in his body, and his body suddenly rose one foot taller.

His face and aura also changed, becoming exactly the same as Ma Jin.

Xu Tianming was shocked by this change in his attitude, "Master..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiang Sheng turned around and covered his face with a palm. When he raised his hand again, he had turned into the second Tang Yuankui.

Xu Tianming couldn't see the changes in himself, and he was curious. He reached out and drew out a water mirror. When he saw himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Uncle Master, your illusion technique is truly superb! I can't see any flaws."

Xiang Sheng smiled slightly and spoke in Ma Jin's voice: "Don't talk when you get over there later. Just do whatever I tell you to do."

Although Xu Tianming didn't understand Xiang Sheng's intention, he knew that she must have something important to do, so he quickly put away his smile and nodded.

After making preparations, Xiang Sheng brought Xu Tianming to the agreed location, took out an incense stick from Ma Jin's storage ring, lit it, and inserted it into the soft and moist ground.

Not long after, a black figure came quietly. When he saw the two familiar faces in front of the incense line, he immediately felt relieved, coughed lightly, and walked out from behind the tree.

Xiang Sheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person coming in a black robe, his face shrouded in a cloud of black mist. He couldn't see clearly, so he didn't look at him any longer. He bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "My humble servant Ma Jin greets the Lord Palace Master."

Xu Tianming shuddered slightly. The hall master that Ma Jin was meeting was the hall master of the Pantheon, wasn’t he?

His mind raced, and he didn't dare to do anything bad, so he quickly followed suit and bowed his head.

The black-robed man didn't notice anything unusual. His eyes fell on the two large packages at Xu Tianming's feet. His eyes lit up and he said in a hoarse voice, "You've gained quite a lot. It seems you succeeded?"

Xiang Sheng stood up straight with a smile on his face: "I would like to thank the Palace Master for his great help. This allowed me to lure the enemy into the trap so easily.

I am grateful and have come here with a valuable gift to express my gratitude."

The black-robed man walked up to Xiang Sheng. Upon hearing this, he stepped forward and patted Xiang Sheng on the shoulder. There was a hint of joy in his hoarse voice: "You are so thoughtful."

"It's what a villain should do."

Xiang Sheng spoke modestly and signaled Xu Tianming with his eyes.

Xu Tianming understood what he meant, picked up the two sacks at his feet and handed them to the man in black robe with both hands.

The black-robed man opened the sack, picked up a jade bottle and opened it. Seeing that it was full of drops of true essence, he was overjoyed and said to Xiang Sheng:

"Master Palace Master, besides bringing these to you, I also want to lend you something."

"What?"

The man in black robe was completely focused on the jade bottle. Without even looking up, he asked, "Apart from those precious treasures, you can choose anything else."

Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "How dare I borrow such a valuable treasure? All I want is your life, Lord Palace Master."

The black-robed man laughed before he could react: "If you don't want the treasure, then... eh?!"

The black-robed man's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to resort to life-saving measures.

However, he was too close to Xiang Sheng, and his mind was distracted, so he was a step slower. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt his vision suddenly thrown into the sky and then fell.

As he fell, he saw a familiar headless corpse.

That's his body!

He opened his eyes wide, finally realizing that his body was dead. His soul struggled to get out from between his eyebrows, and just as he was about to fly with his sword, he was grabbed by a slender hand.

After sucking away the memories in the soul, Xiang Sheng crushed the soul casually. His body shape changed again and turned into the appearance of the black-robed palace master.

Afterwards, she stripped off the headless corpse's clothes and put them on herself. She also took off the storage ring from the corpse and put it on herself. Then she looked up at Xu Tianming who was standing aside and ordered, "Deal with it."

Xu Tianming came back to his senses with a start, and hurriedly picked up the corpse on the ground, cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, and then put the jade bottle in the cloth bag around the corpse's waist into the sack.

Xiang Sheng was watching calmly from the side, his face gradually obscured by the black mist. If Xu Tianming had not witnessed this change with his own eyes, he would have thought that the black-robed Palace Master had been resurrected.

Uncle Li is so awesome!

As he was packing up, he thought that with Uncle Li's strength, he could easily kill the man in black the moment he appeared.

Uncle Li did not solve the problem simply and roughly just because he was stronger than the other party, but chose the safest way that was least likely to let the other party leak any information, which was to kill him.

Even though my uncle is so powerful, he is still so cautious. Looking at the way he handled things in the past, he was really rough.

Xu Tianming felt that he had learned a lot, and a hint of anticipation flashed across his eyes.

Since my uncle killed people like this, he must have a follow-up plan.

Thinking of this, he packed up even faster.
