A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

When this matter was mentioned, Empress Yunxiao smiled.

"It was really good luck that we were able to catch her."

"She happened to be there giving intelligence during the last siege of a Ascension Sect stronghold."

"So, after a chase, we finally managed to capture him."

Generally speaking, people of Ling Ruoyu's status would not participate in frontline combat.

Even when faced with problems, their primary concern will be self-preservation.

To encounter the enemy during a siege is indeed a matter of good luck.

But then Ye Yun couldn't help but think of something.

"By the way, didn't those who were chasing her know she had been captured?"

"If I go back under her identity, will the Ascension Sect headquarters believe me?"

His concern was that the problem might be discovered before he even got inside.

In that case, it would truly be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Empress Yunxiao responded with absolute certainty.

"Don't worry about that. Apart from a very few people, no one knows that she was arrested."

"According to my informant within the Ascension Sect, Ling Ruoyu is also classified as missing on their end."

"At that time, I'll cooperate with you by releasing some false information and having people pretend to attack you."

"I believe the Ascension Sect won't immediately suspect your identity."

It is evident that in such a short period of time, she had already devised a feasible plan.

With her assurance, Ye Yun finally felt a little more at ease.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Ye Yun nodded slightly, then glanced inside the prison and asked.

"May I go in and take a look?"

To create an exact replica, one needs a thorough understanding of the appearance of the person being replicated.

Empress Yunxiao replied without hesitation.

"Of course, please wait a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Yunxiao raised one hand and made a few wispy gestures in the air in front of her.

Suddenly, a semi-transparent barrier appeared in the seemingly empty air ahead.

As Empress Yunxiao moved, the semi-transparent barrier gradually dissipated.

It is evident that the prison's architectural structure is only the most basic layer of defense; the key lies in these defensive formations.

As the semi-transparent barrier dissipated, Empress Yunxiao finally raised her hand and opened the prison door.

It was at this moment that Ling Ruoyu, inside the prison, seemed to have just heard the commotion and opened her eyes to look over.

Ling Ruoyu looked somewhat tired at this moment, as if she had gone through some kind of torment.

She stared intently at Empress Yunxiao and spoke coldly.

"Now that you know everything I have, what do you need me for?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun asked him curiously.

"Senior, did you manage to extract information from her?"

Otherwise, given Ling Ruoyu's status, how could she possibly reveal information about the Ascension Sect?

At this moment, Empress Yunxiao replied calmly.

"Let's say I did a soul search and obtained a lot of useful information."

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Where is that intelligence now? Can I take a look at it?"

However, aside from curiosity about information regarding his Ascension Cult.

Another reason is curiosity about Ling Ruoyu's personality and experiences.

This undoubtedly played a decisive role in his portrayal of the other character.

On this point, Empress Yunxiao did not refuse and immediately agreed.

"No problem, I'll show it to you in a bit."

"Okay."

Ye Yun smiled happily.

Just as the two were chatting happily and in a pleasant atmosphere...

Ling Ruoyu, who was nearby, frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"You two, have you finished talking? What do you want from me?"

Seeing that these two were treating her like she didn't exist, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yun and Empress Yunxiao looked over.

Ye Yun looked her up and down and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to borrow something from you."

Ling Ruoyu paused for a moment, then stared at him and asked.

"Borrow something? What do you mean?"

Ye Yun ignored it, and after looking at it for a while, nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll try it first."

As soon as he finished speaking, light emanated from his body, and his figure began to change rapidly.

In just a moment, Ye Yun had completely transformed into Ling Ruoyu's appearance.

She watched as a grown man transformed into a woman right in front of her, yet still looked just like herself.

This change caused Ling Ruoyu in front of her to show a look of astonishment.

Soon, as if she had thought of something, she stared at Ye Yun and asked.

"You're Ye Yun?!"

Ye Yun was certain that he had never seen her before.

Seeing that he had been recognized, Ye Yun said with great interest.

"Oh? I didn't realize I'm already that famous?"

Ling Ruoyu was incredibly clever; upon seeing Ye Yun transform into her likeness, she immediately guessed what he was about to do.

Her expression changed slightly, and she said in a cold voice.

"You want to impersonate me and deceive my followers?"

Ye Yun smiled gently, using her beauty as a metaphor.

"How could that be a lie? It's just a matter of getting to know them."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ruoyu's expression turned gloomy, and she asked in a deep voice.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Of course, even under these circumstances, Ye Yun could not openly reveal his purpose.

He turned around and smiled faintly.

"This is none of your business."

He patted Ling Ruoyu on the shoulder and said softly.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, just wait here. Perhaps you'll see your companions come in soon."

These provocative words made Ling Ruoyu's expression turn ugly.

However, she clearly knew that she couldn't do anything to Ye Yun here.

In the end, she just snorted coldly.

"Whatever you want to do, daring to oppose our Ascension Sect, you'll regret it one day!"

But Ye Yun was already used to their harsh words.

Ye Yun even teased her.

Okay, I hope that day will come.

After that, he ignored Ling Ruoyu.

Ye Yun turned his face and asked the Cloud Empress beside him.

"How is it? Does my transformation resemble the real thing?"

As he spoke, he adopted a rather effeminate, aloof expression.

She looks exactly like Ling Ruoyu, whom I just saw.

Even Empress Yunxiao was taken aback.

She stared at Ye Yun for a long time before exclaiming in surprise.

"That's really good, the resemblance is very high..."

"High similarity is good."

Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

But suddenly, he thought of something and asked it a question.

"By the way, senior, can you still tell at a glance that this is an illusion I've created?"

He still remembered how, when he was in the Transcendent Realm, he disguised himself as someone else and infiltrated the underground of the City Lord's Mansion.

As a result, after meeting Empress Yunxiao, he was recognized at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao stared at him for a moment, then said thoughtfully.

"This... it's really hard to tell the difference; they're almost identical."

This evaluation made Ye Yun very satisfied.

He glanced down, grabbed at the soft spot in front of him, and chuckled.

"Great, the realism is quite high."

"It seems that as my cultivation level increases, the effect of the illusion also becomes stronger."

In this way, there's no need to worry about being recognized as soon as you see an Emperor-level expert.

After all, if you go to the headquarters of the Ascension Sect, you might come into contact with an Emperor-level expert.

Ling Ruoyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but complain as she watched Ye Yun doing such a strange thing with her own body.

"You pervert, you're not allowed to use my image to do this kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Ye Yun glanced at her and sneered.

"I'm telling you, you'd better just be honest."

"Otherwise, even if I manage to escape one day, I'll probably find out that I've become a female hooligan."

"At that point, you'll truly be socially dead."

A threat, a blatant threat!

Ling Ruoyu's lips twitched slightly.

In the end, however, he succumbed to Ye Yun's tyranny and merely gave him a cold snort.

After that, Empress Yunxiao handed a jade slip to Ye Yun.

"Young Master Ye, this is all the information we obtained from the previous soul search of her."

"Take a look, it will surely be very helpful for your later infiltration."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun accepted the jade slip she handed him.

After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Wow, is it that detailed?"

This document contains not only the extremely detailed information she provided regarding the Ascension Sect, but also a wealth of other information.

It also includes her interactions and relationships with various people within the Ascension Sect.

It was specifically mentioned that the leader of the Ascension Cult seemed to attach great importance to her.

There is even a description of Ling Ruoyu's personality.

This is not an interrogation result; it's clearly a character profile report of Ling Ruoyu.

It records everything she has experienced over the years.

Empress Yunxiao responded with a faint smile.

"After all, it's the result of a soul search, so it's naturally extremely detailed."

"Great, great, that makes it even more secure!"

Ye Yun held the jade slip in his hand and nodded with a smile.

With this intelligence, he could almost completely transform into Ling Ruoyu.

At that time, as long as you don't get too close to the Ascension Cult Master or other Emperor-level powerhouses, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun was about to put the jade slip away.

"In that case, I'll take it back with me."

But Empress Yunxiao stopped him.

"This jade slip is the original, just made. You can only look at it here; you cannot take it away."

"Well... okay."

Ye Yun shrugged, saying helplessly.

"But senior, are you being wary of me?"

Empress Yunxiao dismissed his complaints.

She looked at Ye Yun and explained calmly.

"Not really, but it's always good to be careful in everything you do."

"Fine, it's the same as watching it here anyway."

Ye Yun sighed softly and picked up the jade slip to examine it carefully.

With his current spiritual power at the Dao Establishment stage, memorizing the contents above would be extremely easy.

He could memorize it almost at a glance, and soon he had all the contents in his mind.

If needed, he knew he could memorize all of the above content.

"Senior, I'm all set now."

A short while later, Ye Yun raised his head and handed over the jade slip.

Upon seeing this, Empress Yunxiao raised her hand and put it away.

Then, she stared at Ye Yun and asked.

"Now, you should have a complete understanding of her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's smiling expression instantly turned cold.

He glanced coldly at Empress Yunxiao, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"I know myself very well, of course."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao was taken aback.

"you……"

But the coldness on Ye Yun's face vanished in the next second.

Instead, there was the usual smile.

"How was it? Was my acting alright?"

Empress Yunxiao finally came to her senses and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, even I almost thought you had been possessed by her just now."

She was genuinely startled when Ye Yun's expression changed just now.

Moreover, if Ye Yun were to be possessed by Ling Ruoyu, things would become very troublesome.

Ye Yun couldn't help but scoff at her words.

"How could that be? The person who wants to possess me probably doesn't even exist yet."

Empress Yunxiao looked at him in surprise.

"Oh? You're quite confident, kid."

Ye Yun remained calm.

"That's natural."

Not to mention the Creation Furnace within his body, which was protecting his soul.

Just the image of Nangong Jiutian in his mind is enough to make anyone who dares to break in suffer a terrible fate.

Empress Yunxiao's gaze, however, held a rather meaningful meaning.

Then, she asked in a low voice.

"By the way, now that you've finished your training, pack up and get ready to leave."

Ye Yun smiled and nodded at him.

"Sure, I can leave anytime."

Before leaving, he glanced at Ling Ruoyu nearby and jokingly said something to her.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, then I will go out and take a look on your behalf."

Ling Ruoyu's face turned ashen, and she replied coldly.

"Hmph, whatever."

Ye Yun then smiled faintly at her.

Then, he left with Empress Yunxiao.

However, when the two of them left the dungeon...

Watching their departing figures, Ling Ruoyu, in the prison, had a cold smile on her face.

"Trying to impersonate me? I fear you might have the life to use my identity, but not the life to return..."

……

After emerging from the dungeon, Empress Yunxiao handed over all the magical treasures and items she had seized from Ling Ruoyu to Ye Yun.

Of course, in her words, these were only temporarily lent to Ye Yun, and they needed to be returned in their original condition after the transaction was completed.

However, Ye Yun wasn't really interested in these things anyway, so he just verbally agreed.

Once the inventory is complete, the preparations for departure are considered finished.

Suddenly, Ye Yun remembered something and asked Empress Yunxiao.

"Seriously, senior, isn't it a bit too unrealistic for me to just walk over like this?"

"That's too fake? What do you mean?"

Empress Yunxiao looked at him, scrutinized him carefully, and then replied with a puzzled expression.

"It looks quite good to me; it's almost exactly the same."

"I'm not talking about appearance."

Ye Yun shook his head, glanced down at his own appearance, and pondered.

"Senior, think about it, Ling Ruoyu was besieged and even went missing for a while."

"If I go back healthy and well, people might get suspicious."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao immediately realized what was happening and questioned her in surprise.

"You want to... inflict some more injuries on yourself?"

Without saying a word, Ye Yun smiled and affirmed.

"That's right! Ideally, it should be a method that makes it immediately recognizable as the work of cultivators from Cloud City."

After a moment's thought, Ye Yun continued.

"Ideally, the opponent's cultivation level should be at the Imperial Dao Realm."

In Ye Yun's view, this is the only way to maximize the realism.

When you get there, you can explain to people that you couldn't go back in time because you were recovering from your injuries.

As for why they didn't go directly to Empress Yunxiao...

The main thing is the injuries themselves; it's also about being able to discern the cultivation level of the person who caused the injury.

If he were to return with injuries inflicted by an Emperor-level expert, it would be difficult to explain.

Therefore, it would be best to find a cultivator whose cultivation level is higher than your own, but who also has a real chance of escaping.

Faced with his request, Empress Yunxiao fell into deep thought.

Finally, she seemed to have thought of someone and nodded.

"If what you say is true, then I do have a suitable candidate."

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Who is the other party?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao gave a faint smile.

"Naturally, they are someone you know."

"Hmm? Someone I know?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, his expression puzzled.

Then Empress Yunxiao took out a communication talisman and spoke to it.

"Don't set off yet, come to me first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sent out a communication talisman, which floated around the city lord's mansion before landing in one place.

Seeing this, Ye Yun was filled with doubt.

Then he saw a golden light fly over, and a beautiful figure landed, who turned out to be someone he knew.

After landing, she bowed with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Lord City Lord, did you send this message at the exact time?"

The person who arrived was none other than Zhixing, who had gone with Ye Yun to investigate the array's core in the Wutong Mountains a few days ago.

Upon seeing her, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile, realizing that he and she were quite destined to meet.

Today, Zhixing has recovered to her peak condition, wearing a golden battle robe, clearly ready to rush to the front line.

She had already gone there a few days ago, and this time she was coming back to deliver a message before preparing to set off again.

However, at this moment, Zhixing obviously did not recognize Ye Yun beside her, and only thought that she was a female cultivator she had never seen before.

Then, she looked at Empress Yunxiao and asked.

"So, Lord City Lord, what brings you here?"

At this moment, Empress Yunxiao's gaze fell on Ye Yun, and she said calmly.

"It's not me who's looking for you, it's this person who has something to discuss with you."

"Um?"

Zhi Xing glanced at Ye Yun, or more accurately, Ye Yun who had transformed into Ling Ruoyu.

As for the result, he naturally didn't recognize Ye Yun at all and asked with a lot of doubt.

"Lord City Lord, who is this fellow Daoist...?"

Before Empress Yunxiao could speak, Ye Yun coughed lightly.

"Senior Zhixing, I am actually Ye Yun."

Although he did not deliberately imitate Ling Ruoyu's way of speaking.

However, since it completely transforms into the other person, it still reveals a sense of aloofness and subtle contrast.

"Ye Yun?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhixing was first taken aback, then her eyes widened.

"What?! You're Ye Yun?!"

Immediately, she scrutinized Ye Yun from head to toe, trying to find a flaw in his disguise.

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn't find any problems; it looked exactly like the real thing.

Even Zhixing asked incredulously.

"Could it be... that you are actually a woman?"

But after she finished speaking, she felt it was unlikely.

If Ye Yun were a woman, how could she have lost her virginity under the influence of the dragon blood?

"Don't think of anything strange, I'm definitely a real man."

Ye Yun shrugged and explained helplessly.

"I am merely a manifestation of myself."

Despite what he said, looking at the flawless image before her, Zhixing still found it hard to believe.

So much so that he looked to Empress Yunxiao for help.

"Lord City Lord, what about her...?"

Empress Yunxiao responded calmly.

"That's right, he is indeed Ye Yun."

Having received an affirmative answer, Zhixing opened her mouth slightly and began to carefully observe Ye Yun.

After a while, she said with great emotion.

"That's incredible, how did you do that?"
