Cultivation through Skin Making

A junior brother said, "Brother Embroidered Tiger, are you suspecting that it's not Demon Song? I'm telling you, that's him! Even if he used an illusion technique that we can't see through, the Grand Elder can surely tell, right?

He's definitely driven mad by being hunted all over, which twisted his mind, and then he practiced such demon techniques that drove him insane.

Let's lay it all out, no more hiding."

Sister An Li chimed in, "Senior brother is right! That Demon Song must be crazy!

These kinds of demons, they look powerful, but their minds are the most fragile!"

The nearby senior brothers and sisters immediately echoed this sentiment, joining the discussion enthusiastically.

Song Yan understood.

In this room, as long as you curse Demon Song, you're a friend; otherwise... you're an enemy.

Reviling the demon as despicable and shameless is a common hobby among the fellows of the Righteous Dao.

"Song the Traitor! Wicked Scoundrel! Vile Thief! Filthy Scoundrel!" Song Yan went along with the flow and cursed passionately.

Immediately, a senior brother beside him said, "Well said!"

Song Yan, with fervor, continued, "With so many of us here, that demon wouldn't dare come, but if he did, one spit from each of us would drown him!"

This stirred the crowd, some saying "Brother Embroidered Tiger, very bold," some saying "I'd not be a sword cultivator if I feared him," and others saying "That Demon Song is alone, we are many, why fear him?"...

One thoughtful senior brother hesitated to speak, then smiled faintly, looking at Song Yan and the group of junior brothers and sisters, reflecting, "Youth is wonderful."

Song Yan took this opportunity to glance aside and saw Sister An Li was also blushing from the discussion, her eyes shining, her lips moving non-stop, clearly excited by the cursing.

However, amidst this corner discussion, he gathered quite a bit of information.

For instance, the opponent's power.

The opponent could remain undetected even by the Grand Elder, and couldn't possibly master the "Hundred Forms Demon Body" technique, which means their illusion technique must be very advanced, higher than that of Granny Fox, possibly even an old fox demon at the Late Stage of the Crimson Palace.

Yet this imposter posing as Song Yan might not be that old fox but someone else entirely.

The Multi-tailed Fox Race has many racial secret techniques, which he had already heard from Granny Fox.

Granny Fox, having turned into a ghost, had her memory precision compromised, unable to recall the innumerable racial secret techniques, but she could remember some effects, such as "casting illusions on others to change their appearance," or "making one's own image uncertain, yet when seen by others, it becomes a specific form, like a favorite person or most feared person, etc."...

Thinking of this, Song Yan finally made up his mind.

Once he finds the suitable blood, he will quickly elevate his realm, not to delay advancement in pursuit of the "Perfect Nine Palaces."

A higher realm is certainly better than a lower one.

Gu Huangzi may be powerful, but in techniques, he's not as good as his "Hundred Forms Demon Body" and "Sword Evil Demon Dragon." His ability to contend with Song Yan was purely due to being at the Middle Stage of the Crimson Palace, whereas Song Yan was at the Early Stage.

Now he is at the Middle Stage of the Crimson Palace, but if the Fox Wolf Demons he encounters are all at the Late Stage of the Crimson Palace, then... he has to at least reach the Late Stage too.

At this moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly sounded from afar, interrupting the discussion, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look outside.

In the northeastern sky, they saw two dragon forms suddenly manifesting, spiraling high in the sky, the sharp aura making the sky hum as if dragons were softly singing.

"What is that?" Song Yan felt a powerful force from those two dragon forms.

Among the disciples, there are those who recognized it.

Soon, someone said, "It's the 'Chi Qiu Illusionary Head Sword Array'! Now that the sword array has appeared, Demon Song is probably in trouble!"

...

...

Bang bang!!

Bang bang bang bang!!

The successive fierce impacts forced the Profound Robe man in mid-air to take a few steps back, while two large dragon shadows danced relentlessly around him.

Sword Qi formed the dragon scales, Profound Qi filled the dragon's body, reckless and powerful!

Five disciples held swords and advanced, the Grand Elder at the array core supporting the array plate.

The array plate twirled rapidly, seemingly pulling in the surrounding heaven and earth's Profound Qi, transmitting it to the five swords.

The five disciples, following a certain magic technique, circled the Profound Robe man, attacking as if weaving brocade and threading flowers.

With their assault, the dragon forms also occasionally attacked the Profound Robe man.

Sometimes biting, sometimes colliding, sometimes lashing with their tails...

Another loud bang, and the Profound Robe man was pushed back a bit more, he looked far ahead, laughed wildly, "What bullshit sword array? In my eyes, Song Yan, it's just so-so!

If someone else controlled the array, maybe they could kill me, but too bad... both the one controlling and those in the array are too weak. Hahaha!

I've had enough fun today, I'll take my leave now!"

After speaking, he turned around, deftly dodging a collision from a large dragon.

Although he claimed he wasn't afraid, being hit would indeed be quite hurtful.

Before leaving, the Profound Robe figure swooped from low altitude, suddenly raised a hand, captured a nearby sword cultivator, and whisked away.

"This is outrageous!" The Grand Elder's face turned ashen, he withdrew the array and immediately chased with sword control, many Crimson Palace realm cultivators also gave chase.

However, the Grand Elder's speed surpassed ordinary Crimson Palace cultivators, and the Profound Robe figure was also fast,

thus, they quickly widened the gap between them.

The ordinary Crimson Palace realm cultivators from the Sword Sect chased for a while, but soon realized that both the Grand Elder and the Profound Robe figure had disappeared without a trace.

...

Meanwhile, as the Grand Elder and the Profound Robe cultivator played their game of cat and mouse, they quickly moved far away.
