Chapter 231 The Thousand Faces
hum-

When Yun Shu's "Azure Netherworld Severing Technique" was unleashed by Bai Ze, the air and primordial energy were completely separated wherever the blade of energy reached, cutting through everything in its path.

Yun Shu used this to cut through Bai Ze's water, fire, wind, and thunder. Now that Bai Ze has unleashed it, in addition to the air blade, there is also an invisible force field, adding even more wonderful uses.

however--

As the blade of energy swept through a perfect semicircle and slashed past behind him, the figure he had sensed was no longer there.

As if they had foreseen the future, the other party turned around as Bai Ze turned, also making a semi-circle and moving to the front.

A sharp edge suddenly appeared, a fierce aura swept forward, the blade light reflected the moonlight, aiming directly at Bai Ze's turned figure.

But at that moment, the light and shadow shifted, and Bai Ze's figure suddenly blurred, turning into a phantom image, while he himself remained facing forward.

Another blade of energy materialized in her palm, passing parallel to the blade light that was thrusting towards her from the front, pointing towards the tall, graceful figure under the moonlight.

“‘Azure Netherworld Severing Technique’ was used quite well.”

Mu Yaoguang stood on the balcony railing, her right hand forming a sword shape with her fingers, and a transparent blade extended from her fingertips, stopping in front of Bai Ze.

She looked at Bai Ze and chuckled softly, "And this physical illusion technique is also quite impressive."

What was actually turned away was Bai Ze's illusory form, while he himself created an illusion using "Mirror Flower Water Moon" to simultaneously consider both the front and back.

“Likewise.” Bai Ze glanced at the sword blade at Mu Yaoguang’s fingertips and said.

He could tell that Mu Yaoguang's transparent sword blade was also a qi blade technique, and even like Bai Ze, it used the "Azure Netherworld Severing Technique".

Yun Shu kept the "Azure Netherworld Severing Technique" hidden very well, never using it before intercepting Bai Ze, seemingly intending to use it as a trump card against Mu Yaoguang.

He probably didn't expect that Mu Yaoguang also knew the "Azure Netherworld Severing Technique," and was even more proficient in it than him.

“When I was in school, I also fought against practitioners of the ‘Azure Netherworld Severing Technique’. With our understanding and control of primordial energy, learning this technique shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”

Mu Yaoguang sheathed her qi blade, blinked, and smiled.

Bai Ze: "..."

I'm sorry, I've embarrassed practitioners of the Cantongqi.

He was able to plagiarize in person because his words carried weight, while Mu Yaoguang's talent was purely innate.

"If the people in the Military Strategy Department knew this, they would be furious."

Even Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh for his enemy.

Their family's most treasured martial arts techniques are easily stolen and learned by outsiders, while their own people can hardly learn them at all. Only a very few people are qualified to learn them and can master them.

I wonder what the students in the combat department would think if they found out.

The illusory image of the Dharma and the energy blade disappeared simultaneously. Bai Ze looked at Mu Yaoguang's figure standing against the wind and said, "You have been chasing Qianmian all along, and now you are here... So, Qianmian is still in Canghai City?"

Mu Yaoguang has been searching for Qianmian all this time, and even used the satellites of Xinggong Chenyi Society.

Since she was in Canghai City, it means that the Thousand Faces who awakened Luo Tao never fled Canghai City, but instead hid there.

"How did you know I've been chasing Thousand Faces...? That old woman Ye Weiyang told me, didn't she?"

Mu Yaoguang showed a hint of disdain, jumped off the railing, and said, "Fine, since you know how hard I've worked, why don't you quickly thank Sister Yaoguang?"

Her eyes flickered, perfectly concealing a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

Bai Ze knew that Mu Yaoguang was pursuing Qianmian, but that was all he knew. Bai Ze had absolutely no idea that Mu Yaoguang had been working almost non-stop for the past ten days or so, and had even used the satellites of the Starcraft Instrument Society.

He's so sure Mu Yaoguang knows where Qianmian is because Ye Weiyang must have said something indiscreet.

"Thank you, Yao Guang, senior."

Bai Ze bowed deeply to Mu Yaoguang, saying, "I have no way to repay your great kindness, so I can only offer myself in gratitude."

"Forget it, with your looks, you'd only be fit to be my slave in your next life."

Mu Yaoguang chuckled, walked past Bai Ze, entered the room, and sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance.

In such a short time, she had already adjusted her expression, and there was absolutely no clue as to what was going on.

"I was indeed tracking Thousand Faces, and even used secret techniques to capture his aura, but I was always one step short."

As Mu Yaoguang spoke, she gently raised her hand, her true energy manifesting a strange and ever-changing aura in her palm. "Someone is helping Qianmian, which is why I haven't been able to lock onto him."

This reminded Bai Ze of Mu Yaoguang's time at Yujing Martial Arts University, where she was the president of the Astronomy Club.

She was also one of only two students in the past decade who were able to cross the threshold of stargazing, as Ye Weiyang had mentioned.

Bai Ze would absolutely not believe that Mu Yaoguang was not skilled in observing stars and auras.

This person had previously been able to use the Qi-gazing technique to the point of almost reading minds, making Bai Ze feel like he was being seen naked in front of her.

No matter how bizarre Qianmian's abilities are, he couldn't possibly escape Mu Yaoguang's pursuit indefinitely; someone must be helping him.

"Who is it?" Bai Ze asked.

"It's nothing more than a few people."

Mu Yaoguang revealed a mocking expression, "Qianmian has never dared to leave Canghai City. It's probably because if he makes a move, he will be exposed to my gaze. This shows that the means he uses to cover up his secrets are immovable. I once saw Ye Weiyang use the 'Gentleman's Residence Chapter' and know a little about feng shui secrets. I can confirm that Qianmian's method of hiding is based on feng shui."

The chapter on "The Gentleman's Dwelling" is also one of the chapters of "The Kinship of the Three," which discusses the essentials of feng shui and the methods of cultivating and changing feng shui through feng shui.

Since Mu Yaoguang was certain that the other party had used feng shui techniques, then it was almost certainly true.

The person who could set up such a feng shui formation for Qianmian in Canghai City could not be some outsider; they could only be a local strongman.

"What do they want to do?" Bai Ze's gaze was deep and unfathomable, like two deep pools.

"No matter what he does, now that Yujing Martial Arts University wants to find Qianmian, he can no longer hide."

As Mu Yaoguang spoke, she looked at Bai Ze with a probing gaze, "It's really Qianmian's bad luck that Huo Heng was killed at this time. Now Yujing Martial Arts University is making a huge fuss to give you an explanation, so even if someone wants to hide it, they can't hide it anymore."

If we continue to hide, and the people from Yujing Martial Arts University come and turn Canghai City upside down, and catch some people red-handed, then things will be terrible.

To avoid this situation, they either had to kill Thousand Faces, or...
"It seems they're after me," Bai Ze said calmly.

If he wanted to kill Thousand Faces, he would have done so long ago, instead of waiting until now.

The purpose of the Thousand Faces is nothing more than to lure Bai Ze.

The other party is really persistent. They failed to lure Bai Ze before the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament, and now they are still thinking of luring Bai Ze into their trap.

“Not only that, I’m probably involved too,” Mu Yaoguang said leisurely.
