Shi Dixuan’s identity has been discovered?
The moment Yang Mu felt terrified in his heart, he immediately suppressed his intense emotions to prevent the bewitching sweet fragrance from reappearing on his body.
With a cold expression, Yang Mu revealed a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Yushi An, with a serious face, said, “Earlier, Shi Dixuan was immersed in the illusion and I had just awakened from it when I sensed a fluctuation of power around, so I went to take a look. Can you guess what I saw?” He suddenly laughed again, full of joy. “I’ve just witnessed Shi Dixuan transforming to his bestial form then back to being human.”
Listening silently to Yushi An’s words, Yang Mu thought to himself: Shi Dixuan must have encountered something in the illusion. He wouldn’t easily reveal his true appearance in public.
“It’s truly unexpected and effortless. I never thought there was a beastman among us. This little beast must have consumed the Transformation Grass, and he also carries treasures that conceal his aura and mask his true cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken so long to discover his true identity.”
A pleased smile couldn’t be restrained on Yushi An’s face. His cultivation had reached a critical point in the Nascent Soul stage, and as one’s cultivation increased, breaking through became more challenging. Many cultivators might remain stuck at a certain level throughout their lives.
Now, with just one more encounter with a beast’s essence, he could break through.
Initially, Yushi An thought this trip to capture beastmen might end in failure, but he didn’t expect Shi Dixuan to come to them voluntarily.
—Unexpected that Shi Dixuan’s identity would be exposed so quickly, Yang Mu slightly furrowed his brows.
Yushi An has shifted his attention to Shi Dixuan, so will the Yuan Sect soon face retaliation from Shi Dixuan? Yang Mu couldn’t help but shiver, recalling the rivers of blood of Yuan Sect in his previous life.
However, Shi Dixuan’s current cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, likely not powerful enough to wipe out a sect as in the previous life.
“Elder Yang, hearing about this must be quite surprising. Your only disciple turns out to be a beastman,” Yushi An asked with a pensive expression, observing Yang Mu.
Yang Mu naturally wouldn’t reveal his true thoughts to Yushi An and nodded along with his words.

Seeing Yushi An earnestly making this request, Yang Mu was taken aback. Imagining Shi Dixuan restrained, forced to produce essence, his expression turned peculiar.
Misinterpreting Yang Mu’s expression, Yushi An was about to say something else when suddenly, there was a violent upheaval, making Yang Mu struggle to keep his footing.
“What’s happening?”
Temporarily setting aside thoughts about Shi Dixuan, Yang Mu and Yushi An exchanged a worried glance. The seismic disturbance didn’t subside, and their expressions turned serious.
Shi Dixuan swiftly arrived, flying on his sword from a distance. When he reached Yang Mu, he furrowed his brow and said, “Quickly leave this place. Suddenly, a group of humans appeared behind, armed and seemingly irrational. They charged at me upon sight, trying to kill me. If I hadn’t escaped quickly, I might have fallen victim.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Mu rolled his eyes quietly. A group of mindless individuals wielding weapons, unsurprisingly, was likely part of the challenge set for the beastmen in this area.
Yang Mu glanced behind Shi Dixuan and indeed saw a dark mass of people not far away. She now believed Shi Dixuan’s account.
However, Yushi An, having discovered Shi Dixuan’s true identity, was a bit skeptical. Coupled with his experience in illusions, he speculated that the situation ahead might be another illusion.
Relying on his cultivation level, Yushi An took a few steps forward, intending to confront the seemingly irrational crowd mentioned by Shi Dixuan.
If they can win, that’s ideal. If not, Yushi An can escape.
However, Yang Mu doesn’t want to accompany Yushi An to his demise. With Yushi An at the peak of Nascent soul stage and Yang Mu only at the mid of Nascent Soul stage, coupled with the large crowd ahead, Yang Mu knows it’s an illusion. However, who knows if this illusion might pose a danger to him?
For safety’s sake, Yang Mu doesn’t want to get involved. When Yushi An shifts his attention away, he signals to Shi Di Xuan, and the two quickly leave.
Leaving Yushi An is a good thing; he’s willing to do anything for the beastmen. If Yang Mu refuses what Yushi An proposed earlier, he might harm him to claim Shi Dixuan for himself.
A Nascent Soul cultivator is rare in this area, but compared to a decently strong beastman, it doesn’t seem as important.
Yang Mu and Shi Dixuan are fast, but two humans catch up. These humans, although dressed elegantly, have emotionless expressions and distinctive black-and-white eyes.
Attempting to sense their cultivation, Yang Mu feels no fluctuations. He exchanges a glance with Shi Dixuan, and they split up.
The two humans also divide, pursuing Shi Dixuan and Yang Mu separately. After running for a while, they reach an open area, where Yang Mu stops. Glancing back at the pursuer, a human with a slightly furrowed brow, he decides to face him.
This human, relentless in chasing them, forces Yang Mu into a confrontation. Unable to shake him off, Yang Mu decides to fight. His cultivation reached the Mid Nascent Soul stage before entering the forest, and he chose this opportunity to test his skills against the human.
Drawing a weapon from his storage ring, Yang Mu activates his power, charging towards the human. Initially unable to sense his cultivation, Yang Mu discovers that he is also at the Mid Nascent Soul stage as they engage in combat.
Meanwhile, Shi Dixuan swiftly flies over on his sword, observing the situation.
Catching a glimpse of Shi Dixuan beside him, Yang Mu was slightly surprised. How did Shi Dixuan return so quickly? Did he shake off the pursuer, or did he eliminate him?
Seeing Shi Dixuan swiftly deal with the pursuer, Yang Mu, as Shi Dixuan’s nominal master, couldn’t afford to lose face. Without dwelling on other matters, Yang Mu’s moves became more ruthless.
The human sparring with Yang Mu was also employing deadly tactics.
After an exhilarating battle, Yang Mu used his weapon to end the human’s life. The human fell to the ground, transforming into mist that slowly rose, disappearing into the air.
Having just fought, Yang Mu, feeling unusually smooth, mused that he seemed to be developing fewer psychological barriers to killing.
In his previous life, Yang Mu never engaged in battles, let alone took lives. His progress in this life was undoubtedly significant. At least now, he possessed the strength to defend himself.
Putting away his weapon, Yang Mu glanced at Shi Dixuan beside him and asked, “What about that person?”
Shi Dixuan replied, “I killed him.”
Yang Mu: “…”
He needed more time to deal with another human, and Shi Dixuan already resolved it so quickly?
Seemingly sensing Yang Mu’s confusion, Shi Dixuan added, “These two were strong against the weak and weak against the strong.” Although he displayed the Foundation Establishment stage, in reality, he had already reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment. The human, using the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, naturally got swiftly defeated.
This was practically cheating… Yang Mu nodded, saying, “Let’s find a way to get out of here.”
Shi Dixuan naturally agreed.
Shortly after they walked away, a sudden gravitational force emerged from the ground. Despite sensing the danger, both Yang Mu and Shi Dixuan couldn’t resist the pull and fell into a black passage.
The passage was sealed, with no end in sight. There was a faint light, brightening the otherwise dark tunnel.
Standing in the tunnel, Yang Mu couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Will this ever end? Since entering this place, it’s been a series of disasters – either deceived by illusions or chased by people. Now, they’ve fallen into this mysterious passage.
Beside him, Shi Dixuan furrowed his brows, gazing ahead at the seemingly endless tunnel.
At this moment, there was a disturbance above Yang Mu. Subsequently, a humanoid object was thrown into the passage.
Seeing the person’s face, Yang Mu’s mouth twitched.
Why is Yushi An still lingering? He seems to appear everywhere…
Ugh. Yang Mu didn’t warn Shi Dixuan that Yushi An knows.
Thank you for the chapter
