Chapter 35: Phantom Technique
On the other side, in the Ao Ba family in Wutan City:
Ao Ba was discussing the details of the ambush with Jia Lei Bi.
Suddenly, Ao Ba questioned Jia Lei Bi.
"Jia Lei Bi, what were you doing at the Xiao family yesterday night?"
Jia Lei Bi was taken aback. There were spies!
Last night, he took the back roads to the Xiao family, leaving through the back door to remain discreet. Unexpectedly, he had still been discovered.
Although surprised, Jia Lei Bi remained calm on the surface. He quickly thought of an explanation.
With a cold snort, Jia Lei Bi changed the narrative, "What do you think I went there for?"
Ao Ba frowned, not understanding Jia Lei Bi's intentions.
Seeing Ao Ba's reaction, Jia Lei Bi had a rough idea. With confidence rising, he sneered.
"Do you think I'm as foolish as you? Since we're planning to ambush Han Li, we naturally need to guard against Xiao family's retaliation. I arranged an undercover agent in the Xiao family. When the time comes, he will delay them for us."
Ao Ba suddenly understood and agreed with Jia Lei Bi's explanation.
Jia Lei Bi observed Ao Ba's expression with the corner of his eye, feeling relieved. He also showed a trace of disdain.
A fool, you deserve this.
Thinking this way, Jia Lei Bi still felt a bit uneasy, hoping everything would go smoothly.
For Jia Lei Bi's family, surrender was the only path. They couldn't withstand the pressure. The Ao Ba family was the letter of recommendation for Jia Lei Bi!
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Su Yun was walking towards the Xiao family.
Su Yun furrowed his brows, sensing something unusual.
His soul was naturally powerful, and with the addition of Soul Technique, his perception was many times greater than that of a grandmaster. Throughout the journey, he felt many eyes on him, both overtly and covertly.
Su Yun sneered. As he walked into a secluded corner, his figure gradually disappeared, and his aura vanished.
Phantom Technique, a mid-level profound-rank martial skill, was an auxiliary-type technique with two main functions.
Firstly, it assimilated with the surroundings' light and shadows to achieve invisibility.
Secondly, it concealed one's aura.
Worth noting, the second function could hide one's aura, including suppressing the fluctuations of their Qi to simulate a lower cultivation level.
Su Yun had been using this technique to hide his cultivation level in front of Luo Qianchen. Other people, like Xiao Zhan, Kuang Teng, and the others, had no idea about his true strength.
In their perception, Su Yun's aura remained as calm as a lake, concealing his real power.
This technique was not of high rank but was very practical.
He remembered the original work's description: Nalan Yanran, during the three-year agreement, could isolate others' perception with just an item. When she removed it, her cultivation level, a two-star grandmaster, would be revealed to everyone.
His martial skill could achieve a similar effect, but it couldn't be used openly. In a fight, the Qi fluctuations were too hard to hide and would easily expose him.
With this technique, he dared to appear in the Xiao family and frolic in front of Ling Ying.
Although grandmasters were formidable, their perception ability might not be outstanding.
That's what the original work mentioned.
On the continent of Douqi, what is the most formidable means of detection? It is the soul power. Although the soul of a Dou Emperor is more powerful than that of an ordinary Dou Practitioner, it does not possess exceptionally powerful detection abilities.
Xiao Yan, wearing the human skin mask provided by Ya Fei, can engage in a face-to-face conversation with Jia Xingtian, a Nine-Star Dou Emperor.
Similarly, Fa Ma, as a fifth-grade alchemist, was able to discern some details thanks to his powerful soul power.
So, using the mask and the "Phantom Technique" in front of Ling Ying without revealing any flaws was normal.
After all, in terms of cultivation, Ling Ying was only an Eight-Star Dou Emperor. As for soul power, although Ling Ying came from an ancient clan, he was not a direct disciple of the ancient clan and had a humble status, lacking the qualification to cultivate Soul Skills.
After all, Soul Skills were extremely precious, even to the ancient eight clans.
Su Yun concealed his figure and approached those who were prying on him in his perception.
Su Yun activated the scanning function of the system, revealing their identities in full view.
They were all members of the Ao Ba Family and the Jia Lei Bi Family.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness flashing in his mind.
Failed to recruit, are they planning to take action?
Heh, Su Yun sneered. There was no need to startle the snake.
Su Yun appeared again, now in a small alley not far from the Xiao Family.
His strength was indeed formidable, breaking through the encirclement of these people wouldn't be difficult. However, capturing them all at once was not feasible.
Since they dared to ambush him, they naturally had to pay the price!
Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family and was greeted by Xiao Zhan and the three elders who were waiting there.
Before Su Yun could speak, the elder of the Xiao Family spoke first.
"Master Han, things are not looking good. We, the Xiao Family, have learned that the Ao Ba Family is planning something against you!"
Su Yun was somewhat surprised that the Xiao Family had received the information in advance.
Xiao Zhan was a little anxious, glaring at the elder. This old guy rushed to invite Master Han first.
The elder, feeling proud, was not afraid of Xiao Zhan. With extremely senior qualifications and the same cultivation as Xiao Zhan, he was not afraid of him.
This time, his actions were also based on his own considerations.
His granddaughter, Xiao Yu, had just broken through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi during this period. He wanted to follow Xiao Zhan's example and seek a Gathering Qi Powder for Xiao Yu!
The elder was a discerning person. He was well aware that Su Yun had previously refined Gathering Qi Powder for Xiao Yan purely because Xiao Yan was the grandson of Old Master Xiao Lin.
As for him and Su Yun, they didn't have much of a relationship. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Su Yun for future plans.
Xiao Yu had just broken through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi, and there was no need to be too anxious.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the Xiao Family also received the news."
Su Yun looked surprised, but then he frowned. This intelligence isn't balanced; what about the Jia Lei Bi Family?
Just as Su Yun was puzzled, Xiao Zhan and the elder took turns revealing all the information they had obtained.
After a while, Su Yun understood. He hadn't expected that Jia Lei Bi was so insightful.
This saved him some effort.
Originally, he had planned to join forces with the Xiao Family, the Mittel Auction House, and the Alchemist Guild to exterminate them.
Now there was only one Ao Ba Family left. The Xiao Family and the Jia Lei Bi Family were enough; there was no need to go through all the trouble.
Su Yun nodded. Since the Xiao Family and the Jia Lei Bi Family were determined, he handed this matter over to them, giving them a chance to perform.
As for the reward, it was just a matter of a few pills. He happened to have the remaining Three-Wave Azure Spirit Pill and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.
Su Yun clasped his hands, "In that case, I'll trouble you all."
