I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

Chapter 167: Be Careful of That Lu Yuan

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As for the fact that Lu Yuan knew the true identity of Hook Snake and the others, they were not aware of it.

They would also not expect Lu Yuan to be able to easily know their identities by relying on a paper man with a partial remnant soul.

Such a method was something they had never expected.

After all, the Heavenly Devil Palace was able to exist until now because they naturally protected their identities well.

The masks that symbolized their code names were not only used to hide their faces but also to hide the perception of outsiders.

Not Foundation Establishment cultivators, not even Core Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators whose strength far surpassed Hook Snake and the others, were also unable to see through Hook Snake’s mask to know their identities.

And when the true identities of the Heavenly Devil were exposed, they had a way to resolve this hidden danger.

“So… When you were dealing with the two Foundation Establishment Stage, not only did you fail to take them down, but you even let them escape unscathed?”

“Lord Qiong Qi, we…”

“Shut up, you bunch of trash.”

Hook Snake, Wen Yu, and Chen Yan looked at the black shadow reflected in the magic item, Ethereal Mirage.

Although they didn’t see Qiong Qi with their own eyes, they could still feel a terrifying aura from the black shadow.

It was as if they were being stared at by some ancient vicious beast, and they could not help but feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at the three trembling people, Qiong Qi knocked on the armrest of his wooden chair and said, “That newbie called Chen Yan, come over here.”

When Chen Yan heard this, he immediately walked to the front of Ethereal Mirage.

He looked at Qiong Qi’s blurry figure in the Water Mirror and his heart collapsed.

Suddenly, a pair of hands entirely made up of shadows reached out from the water mirror and grabbed Chen Yan’s face.

“All!”

Chen Yan, who was caught by Qiong Qi, immediately let out a miserable cry.

Then, his face began to change rapidly.

Not long after, Qiong Qi released his hand.

Plop…

After Qiong Qi released his grip, Chen Yan immediately fell down.

At this moment, he had completely changed his appearance.

If it was just a simple facial change, it would actually be very difficult to fool a cultivator.

As a result, even the face of Chen Yan’s divine soul had changed.

However, such a change did not seem to be a good thing for him.

This was because not only did Chen Yan’s face look painful, but his cultivation had also dropped by a level to level eight of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Qiong Qi seemed to have done something insignificant. He pulled back his hand and said indifferently, “You can’t even deal with two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. I really wonder how you became a Heavenly Devil.”

“You don’t have to worry about your identity. As long as you don’t say anything, even if the people closest to you see you, they won’t be able to guess your identity.”

“After all, what I’m helping you change isn’t as simple as changing your physical appearance.”

“All right, if there’s not anything important in the future, don’t contact me. This is your own trial…”

“If you fail the trial, it means that you don’t have the right to inherit the Heavenly Devil.”

With that, the Water Mirror in front of the three of them disappeared completely.

It was also at this moment that Hook Snake and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, compared to the newcomers like them, Qiong Qi in the Water Mirror was a real Heavenly Devil.

A conservative estimate of his strength would be at the Nascent Soul stage.

He was from a completely different world compared to them who had just joined the Heavenly Devil Palace and were still in the midst of assessment to become a reserve member of the Heavenly Devil.

At this moment, Chen Yan had finally recovered from the pain of his changed divine soul.

Although Qiong Qi didn’t say anything earlier, Chen Yan could feel the transformation of his divine soul.

He had lost a lot of luck value.

This luck was naturally taken away by Qiong Qi.

After all, although everyone was from the Heavenly Devil Palace, they were a loose organization.

Other than the core members, the other members could be replaced at any time.

After all, the power of the Heavenly Devil they borrowed did not only possess them.

For example, Chen Yan knew that there were a total of five people who had the right to inherit the Heavenly Devil, the Scarlet Flame Stallion.

If he wanted to become a real Heavenly Devil, Chen Yan would have to find the other four people one day and kill and devour the Sky Demons in their bodies.

Similarly, if the other four could do this, they could also become a core member of the Heavenly Devil Palace.

Whether they could inherit the complete power of the Heavenly Devil was the mark of the core and other members of the Heavenly Devil Palace.

Hook Snake looked at Chen Yan, who had stood up again, and said, “This matter can be considered as a lesson.”

“Don’t forget that our mission is to collect the luck of this Empire. The scattered dragon energy is our real goal.”

“Regarding that cultivator called Lu Yuan, if you encounter him again in the future, I suggest you avoid him.”

“Although Bi Fang isn’t the strongest among us, he is only slightly weaker than Wen Yu.”

“That Lu Yuan was able to kill the Bi Fang, which means that the other party’s strength might be on par with mine, or even above mine.”

“When you encounter such a person, it’s best not to confront him head-on.”

Hearing Hook Snake’s advice, Chen Yan lowered his head and didn’t say anything.

From the looks of it, it was obvious that he did not want to let the matter rest.

Hook Snake sneered inwardly.

“If some people wanted to die, there was no need to stop them,” he thought.

“They were only temporary teammates anyway.”

When the trial ended and they went to the Upper Realm, it was still unknown whether they would meet each other again.

After saying all that, Hook Snake left.

On the other side, Wen Yu didn’t stay and left as well.

One of the four heavenly devils had already fallen.

This also made the two of them feel the danger of this trial.

If they didn’t want to become the next Bi Fang, they had better be careful.

Especially when they met that cultivator called Lu Yuan.

Anyway, the Myriad Bone Forest was about to open.

The forbidden area was so big, so they might not meet again.

Moreover, as long as they disguised themselves well, they did not think that Lu Yuan would know their true identity.

After all, when they met Lu Yuan previously, they were all wearing the Heavenly Devil Mask.

Only Chen Yan had his identity revealed.

Chen Yan himself didn’t know the identities of Wen Yu and Hook Snake.

Just as Hook Snake and the others were hiding among the cultivators, Lu Yuan’s main body was staring blankly at the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand.

A few days had passed since he had obtained the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The reason why he didn’t consume it immediately was because his main body was still in the Niu Family Village.

When his clone brought Bai Dafei to the Niu Family Village, he also passed the Fire Spirit Pearl to him..
