Thief Saint An Ying!

As the Phantom Evil Lord spoke, all the Evil Lords revealed a slight smile.

No problem, they've got the Phantom Evil Spirits perfectly fine!

Without delay, the Phantom Evil Lord summoned An Ying, the most notorious of the Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits Holy Sons of the evil spirits, at the first opportunity!

The reason he's described as infamous is because this guy has a history of stealing and has even impersonated various other Holy Sons to swindle and cheat people...

Even if you know that the Phantom Evil Spirits has this ability, everything about the An Ying after its transformation is exactly the same as the target. The most outrageous time the An Ying even impersonated the Zang Ling and fooled the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord!

Although An Ying is notorious, this matter is of great importance, and An Ying dares not act recklessly.

The various Evil Lords also gave instructions regarding various matters An Ying.

For example, you absolutely cannot be greedy. As soon as you get any of the Evil God Relics, just run away... We don't expect you to bring back all three. As long as you, An Ying, can bring back one, you will be a great hero of our Evil Shadow Continent. You can steal from whomever you want in the future, and the other seven families won't be angry with you. How about that?

For once, An Ying stood tall and proud in response to the words of the various Evil Lords.

After all, in the past, among the Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits, no one was willing to pay attention to the Phantom Evil Spirits, nor was anyone willing to have any dealings with the An Ying.

This guy has absolutely no shame... If you befriend him, he might steal you away at any time...

So it's hard to say who was the strongest among the nine Holy Sons of the past, but if you're asking who was the most shameless, it would definitely be An Ying.

But this time, we need a shameless bastard like this... If An Ying succeeds, he will definitely become famous overnight!

The Phantom Evil Lord also gave An Ying a lot of instructions, because he knew that An Ying could be greedy at times. But this time, he told An Ying not to be greedy at all, and to return to the Evil Shadow Continent immediately after the successful attack.

After all, it concerned the life and death of the entire Evil Shadow Continent, so An Ying naturally dared not have any objections.

The Phantom Evil Lords unleashed the Hand of the Evil God, a weapon of their Phantom Evil Spirit Clan, and used it to reopen the passage to the Three Continents. However, this time, the opening of the passage brought completely different feelings to all the Evil Lords than before.

Every time the passage to the Three Continents was opened before, they would look at it greedily... as if they could see the resources of the Three Continents approaching them.

But this time... all the Evil Lords ' eyes were filled with helplessness... as if they were hoping that the Three Continents would not invade our Evil Shadow Continent...

The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord opened his third Eye of Heavenly Secrets. Before each Holy Son who stepped into the Three Continents, the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord would use his technique of Obscuring Heavenly Secrets the Art of Heavenly Secrets to prevent them from being deduced by the other party's Great Prophecy Art.

Now, for the An Ying whom everyone has placed high hopes on, the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord directly used his life force to Obscuring Heavenly Secrets for him. This is the Heavenly Secrets Evil Spirits Division.

The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord believed that even if the supreme expert possessed the ability to see through the secrets of Heavenly Secrets, this divine technique could at least buy An Ying a fraction of a second.

This mere sliver of time is enough... because as long as An Ying can find a target in this short time and then use the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art to transform himself into the target's appearance, even the strongest being on the other side will not be able to deduce An Ying's existence.

You should know... the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art is the signature skill of the Phantom Evil Spirits... The Thousand Illusions Phantom can not only change its appearance, but even its aura can become exactly the same.

The Thousand Illusions Phantom Art can even allow An Ying to be hidden within the fate of one's opponent.

Once An Ying activates the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art, coupled with his own Art of Heavenly Secrets, let alone the Great Prophecy Art, even that supreme expert would find it difficult to detect An Ying's existence.

With the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord's intervention, the passage was fully opened, and An Ying, without any hesitation, led the Hand of the Evil God of the Phantom Evil Spirit Clan into the passage.

When An Ying opened his eyes again, he had already landed on the Blazing Sun Continent...

But the An Ying, having landed, had no time to appreciate the surrounding scenery. The first thing An Ying was to run wildly in one direction. For safety's sake, the An Ying didn't use any of its Evil Spirit Power.

Because the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord said that the appearance of any Evil Spirit Power might expose him to being discovered by that supreme being.

Therefore, An Ying only uses his own physical strength!

The Hand of the Evil God that you carry has been sealed with evil energy by the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord using a secret technique. If you didn't know, you would never guess that this Hand of the Evil God is one of the Evil God Relics!

It looks exactly like an ordinary treasure!

After running for an unknown amount of time, An Ying finally discovered a village. Upon seeing the first person in the village, An Ying immediately activated the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art. Although he didn't know why the person looked so furtive, it didn't matter. In an instant, An Ying was enveloped by a mysterious power, and a moment later, An Ying had transformed into the person's appearance.

Not only did he become an ordinary villager, but all the Evil Spirit Power within him also disappeared... replaced by a very weak Body Cultivation power!

This is the terror of the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art. With the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art, An Ying has the ability to transform into another person once a day. As Ninth Rank cultivator, the person An Ying can transform into can never exceed the Ninth Rank.

Once the transformation is complete, theoretically speaking, the An Ying will become that person... not only in appearance, but also in cultivation level.

Unless An Ying forcibly cancels the transformation, during the transformation, he can only use that person's abilities and cannot use his own power.

The transformation cooldown period is one day, meaning that An Ying can only transform into other forms again after one day.

Sensing the villager's weak Body Cultivation strength, An Ying's face was filled with disdain. However, An Ying also understood why the Zang Ling had failed.

Because the villager he had transformed into didn't possess any Spirit Power at all. Instead, he had a very peculiar Power of Qi and Blood. Although he was too weak to mobilize it, this Power of Qi and Blood was genuinely present.

Without time to investigate, An Ying drove further and further away from the village. After all, it wouldn't be easy to explain if he encountered someone he had transformed into...

But the An Ying, having completed its transformation, knew that from this moment on, even the strongest being would never be able to detect An Ying existence.

I have completely become this person...

With this thought in mind, An Ying was in high spirits. After asking around along the way, An Ying headed towards the nearest town.

After all, he has now transformed into the form of this weak fellow and can only use this fellow's power. Once he uses his peak Ninth Rank power, this transformation will be broken.

However, if the change is broken, it may be discovered by that supreme being. Therefore, I must not use any Evil Spirit Power and must absolutely hide myself!

An Ying walked all the way to this town, and he had to admit that his body was too weak... He hadn't walked that far, and he was already a little tired... But there was nothing he could do. Safety was the priority right now, so he might as well be weak. He would transform into a slightly stronger being when he could use the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art again tomorrow!

An Ying headed towards the town because An Ying was unfamiliar with the area and needed to gather information first...

Surely you need to know where the Vast Heaven Holy Land is?

As the Holy Son of the Phantom Evil Spirit Clan, I, the Great Thief An Ying, am known as the Thief Saint...

As the Thief Saint, why am I able to repeatedly strike against other factions without them being able to do anything about it?

It's mainly because of information asymmetry!

I, the Thief Saint An Ying, am always aware of the latest news. By exploiting information gaps, I, the An Ying Thief Saint, can slaughter indiscriminately!

Previously, whether it was Xie Yue, Zang Ling, or Meng You... it was all due to insufficient information.

Even now, with the Evil Shadow Continent launching Evil Shadow Continent defense war, isn't it all because those old fogies lack sufficient information?

If they had become too arrogant and thought they could easily control the Three Continents, and instead of letting that fool Xie Yue descend and set up some Heavenly Secrets Formation, they had sent me, the Thief Saint An Ying An Ying, instead. Tell me, with my abilities, haven't I already thoroughly investigated all the information about the Three Continents?

The reason Xie Yue wasn't discovered at first was because even the strongest expert didn't expect Evil Shadow Continent to come. So at that time, Xie Yue was in the dark, while the other party was in the light.

But that fool Xie Yue completely missed such a good opportunity, and in the end, the other side turned the tables on them, making it a situation where the other side was in the dark while we were in the light!

This is all due to information asymmetry!

Friends... I, the Thief Saint An Ying, take information extremely seriously... I won't be like those three idiots who thought they could wreak havoc across the Three Continents just because of a disagreement...

I'm here not only to hide myself, but also to take away all sorts of important information!

When it An Ying information gathering, Shadow is absolutely unbeatable!

Soon, the unparalleled information-gathering Thief Saint, An Ying, arrived at the nearest town.

An Ying plans to use this town as a base first, and then gradually expand to understand the situation in the Three Continents... In the end, all information about the Three Continents will be easily grasped by me, the Thief Saint Dark Night!

As a Thief Saint has impersonated various characters for many years, An Ying disguised himself as an ordinary person. Even though it was his first time here, An Ying looked completely normal. His ability to disguise himself was not only in his secret techniques, but also in his mental fortitude.

If you were to impersonate someone else, wouldn't you at least be nervous?

But look at An Ying, he doesn't seem nervous at all. On the contrary, An Ying is standing tall and proud, with an air of "I am him, and he is mine..."

Because An Ying knows that the easiest way to be exposed when impersonating someone else is by looking furtive; after all, how could a normal person act furtively?

Therefore, if you impersonate someone, as long as you show enough confidence, even if you have some minor flaws, no one will notice them at all.

So, the Thief Saint An Ying stood tall and straight, showing no sign of panic whatsoever... As he walked to the city gate and queued to be checked by the guards before entering the city, the Thief Saint An Ying even nodded and greeted the people around him from time to time.

The Thief Saint An Ying said he hoped to run into an acquaintance today, so he could show everyone just how invincible he was when it came to psychological An Ying!

Even with acquaintances, I can make sure they can't detect any flaws in my demeanor! That's who I am now!

There's no way anyone in this world could know that I'm the Thief Saint An Ying!

"You Thief Saint! How dare you show your face here so openly? Are you provoking us?! Guards... seize him!"

Thief Saint An Ying: "???"

Then the Thief Saint, An Ying, turned his head... and saw a wanted poster pasted by the city gate...

The person up there... why does he look a bit like me?
