“Everyone, come out.”
He shouted loudly, and soon, the two maids walked over, wanting to serve Qin Xuan.
“Alright, you two may withdraw. I need to go out for a bit.”
“For the next few days, keep the Immortal Cave closed. If anyone comes asking, just say I went out to search for Spiritual Plants and am not seeing guests.”
After giving his instructions, Qin Xuan strode away.
Cheng Yang indeed knew the secret behind this matter.
As for the double pupils, they were indeed in the back mountain.
He didn’t stop for a moment and immediately rushed towards the back mountain.
Not long after, Qin Xuan arrived at the back mountain.
He encountered some Disciples along the way, but upon seeing ‘Cheng Yang,’ these Disciples all retreated and bowed to Cheng Yang.
Mimicking Cheng Yang’s arrogant demeanor, Qin Xuan ignored these people and went directly to the back mountain.
“Senior Brother Cheng, what are you doing here?”
Two Disciples blocked Cheng Yang.
“By order of the Grand Elder, I’m going in to see how the preparations are coming along.”
“What? The Palace Master won’t even allow us to take a look?”
Hearing this, the two Disciples immediately made way, shaking their heads awkwardly.
“Senior Brother, you’re overthinking it. How could we block Senior Brother?”
Saying that, the two made a path for him.
Seeing that these two were sensible, Qin Xuan walked in haughtily.
In Cheng Yang’s memory, he had been here more than once or twice, so he was quite familiar with the way.
He skillfully entered the mountain cave, and after turning several intersections, Qin Xuan stopped.
Ahead was a bronze door. He remembered that beyond the bronze door was that place.
Exhaling, Qin Xuan walked over. Several people guarding the door were standing there, ignoring Qin Xuan.
“They’re honest this time, not questioning me anymore.”
Qin Xuan grumbled inwardly, opened the bronze door, and walked in.
As soon as he stepped through the bronze door, several Nuoshen Palace Disciples were guarding the front.
“It’s Senior Brother Cheng Yang.”
Cheng Yang was the Grand Elder’s man, so they naturally knew his identity.
However...
Looking at a Bronze Mirror hanging on the side, Qin Xuan instinctively had a bad feeling.
“What is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
“Reporting to Senior Brother, this was hung at the Grand Elder’s instruction. He said he was afraid that other thieves might sneak in using disguise techniques, and this mirror would be used to identify them.”
The Disciples said honestly.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s expression immediately changed.
Damn it, it seems there’s trouble now.
“That’s great, we can also save some trouble.”
Qin Xuan said with a smile, but in reality, he was frantically transmitting a message to Han Ye.
“Senior, what should we do next? We’re going to be exposed if we keep this up.”
Hearing this, Han Ye was also very worried.
But now there were so many people here, if he turned around and ran, he would be completely exposed.
Moreover, this was something the Grand Elder had requested to be hung up. Once the situation changed, that Grand Elder could appear here at any time, and the danger was self-evident.
“Use the Taihuang Aura to conceal your original appearance, so this mirror won’t be able to see your true face, only your Thousand Transformations Spirit form.”
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan.
This was the best method he could think of.
After all, if he couldn’t change his current true appearance, he could only use the Taihuang Aura as a cover.
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred, and he nodded slightly.
Immediately, he followed Han Ye’s instructions and used the Taihuang Aura to conceal his true appearance.
This time, he was very careful not to let others discover the Taihuang Aura.
“Senior Brother Cheng, please come over.”
The Disciples said, looking quite apologetic.
“Although we know Senior Brother certainly has no problems, according to custom, we still have to have Senior Brother checked.”
The Disciples said, respectfully making a gesture for Qin Xuan to come forward.
They all knew that Qin Xuan was the Grand Elder’s man and should not be easily offended.
However, this mirror was also arranged by the Grand Elder, so they could only compromise in this way.
“No matter, you are also acting impartially. We help each other, it’s nothing!”
Qin Xuan said and walked towards the Bronze Mirror.
At this moment, his heart was already tense.
It would be troublesome if his true appearance was discovered.
A moment later, Cheng Yang’s face appeared on the Bronze Mirror.
“See, I told you Senior Brother Cheng had no problems. You just have to be so rigid.”
One of the Disciples said flatteringly to Qin Xuan.
The other Disciples also echoed him, fawning over Qin Xuan in various ways.
Qin Xuan said nothing, he just nodded gently, a sigh of relief escaping his heart.
Just now, he was worried that this Bronze Mirror might actually discover his appearance.
Now it seemed that with the Taihuang Aura present, the mirror’s ability was also limited.
“This makes things much easier. As long as I have the Taihuang Aura, I don’t have to worry about any future investigations.”
Qin Xuan remained calm, exhaled, and relaxed.
He nodded to the others.
“You are also dedicated to your duties, no one else can say anything.”
“Alright, you guard this place well. Be careful not to let those thieves sneak in.”
After speaking, Qin Xuan encouraged the others again.
Then he strode away from here.
Seeing Qin Xuan leave, the others exchanged glances.
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Cheng to change his nature now; his temper has improved a lot.”
“If it were before, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.”
Hearing this, a Disciple next to him sneered.
“That’s simple, do you think he’s really being honest?”
“It’s actually because the Grand Elder’s faction is about to lose power.”
“I heard that after the Grand Elder, Palace Master, and Grand Elder competed with each other, the Grand Elder’s faction no longer had the qualifications to compete, so they actually lost long ago.”
“Cheng Yang probably heard some rumors, and he’s been much more honest these past few days.”
“However, don’t offend him these days. After all, even a cornered rabbit bites, let alone them.”
“The Grand Elder, after all, has deep roots, and many Elders follow him. Although he can’t beat the Palace Master, it’s too easy for him to control us.”
After speaking, the others nodded one after another.
“We understand that. We’ll just see how many more days they can jump around.”
After leaving here, Qin Xuan strode forward.
Looking along the way, there were several more checkpoints, and each checkpoint required verification of identity.
However, because Qin Xuan could easily transform into Cheng Yang’s appearance, and he had his identity token and everything else in hand, no one discovered Qin Xuan’s abnormality along the way.
“The Taihuang Aura is indeed useful!”
Qin Xuan praised silently in his heart.
After a while, Qin Xuan walked out of the passage, and his vision suddenly opened up.
The mountain belly had been completely excavated, and in the center of the mountain belly was a huge Blood Pool.
In the Blood Pool, blood flowers were constantly churning at this moment.
