Lord Night Owl... Yue Ling Is Too Hard to Kill!

Previously, Yue Ling said that if Chu Xinghe were to sign up for the Chu Xinghe Impersonation Competition, he wouldn't even make it past the preliminary rounds.

It turns out Yue Ling was wrong... she was being too conservative...

They absolutely won't let me register for the competition here!

"Brother... that's how newbies are, always thinking they're invincible, but we old Chu Xinghe can see that you're really Taixing!"

"Yeah, little brother, is this your first time playing Chu Xinghe? Imitating Chu Xinghe is just like cultivation; you need to learn, practice, and think a lot. Since this is your first time imitating Chu Xinghe, you really have no chance of winning the competition. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"That's right, young man. The Chu Xinghe Impersonation Competition is different now than the first two. In the first two contests, no one had much experience, and the competition wasn't very formal, so all sorts of bizarre Chu Xinghe participated. You've probably all heard the story of contestant number 666, right?"

"Yeah... bro, I've had the pleasure of meeting contestant number 666 Chu Xinghe. To be honest, you're even less like Chu Xinghe than he is!"

"Brother, you can't go far on luck alone. Nobody's spirit stones come from thin air. Keep your spirit stones safe and move Xiangqian step by step! You're still young, you'll have plenty of opportunities to play the role of Chu Xinghe in the future!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

Senior Brother Xinghe had no idea what Ma Liang was thinking, but Ma Liang was already laughing so hard he almost peed himself!

Damn... even Senior Brother Xinghe has his embarrassing moments. In the Chu Xinghe Impersonation Competition, the real Chu Xinghe wasn't even eligible to register because he didn't resemble Chu Xinghe at all...

Ma Liang laughed so hard tears almost came to his eyes.

"Whose donkey got untied... how did it get into the crowd... ah... sorry, it's a person... buddy, you really do look too much like a donkey... cough cough... Ma Liang..."

Ma Liang: "..."

Ma Liang finally understands Senior Brother Xinghe's feelings now... It all comes down to Senior Brother Xinghe's magnanimity. Just one comment from someone almost made Ma Liang explode, but Senior Brother Xinghe remained completely calm despite being surrounded and bombarded with criticism from so many people...

That's truly the magnanimity of Senior Brother Xinghe!

I, Ma Liang, still have a lot more to practice! I've learned some new things this time with Senior Brother Xinghe Ma Liang!

Chu Xinghe had no idea what Ma Liang was thinking at that moment. If he did, Chu Xinghe would definitely say, "I'm so thick-skinned, but it's all because of you bastards!"

If you had stabbed me in the back a few less times, would I be so calm?

The three of them wandered around Gathering Fire City until quite late before returning to Gathering Fire Tower to rest. Yue Ling didn't know what Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe were feeling along the way, but Yue Ling remarked that these past few days had been strange...

Were those attackers really intimidated by Lord Ma Liang? Did they really believe him? Didn't they see how fake our Chu Xinghe is?

Didn't they have any doubts?

Why aren't they chasing me anymore? Have they just given up?

What's going on? The past few days were filled with chaos and bloodshed; I thought I, Yue Ling, might never reach the capital. But why has everything been so calm these past few days?

Did those assassins lose track of me?

Just as Yue Ling was wondering why no assassins had made a move, a teleportation array descended from the sky in the dilapidated courtyard Gathering Fire City, and the next moment the teleportation array landed outside the courtyard!

What the heck? Why didn't the teleportation array land precisely in the courtyard?

Bro... you don't really think teleportation arrays can just point and shoot, do you?

Most people will have some deviation when setting up a teleportation array, it's just a matter of how much deviation there is.

The person who set up this teleportation array was already very skilled; the deviation was only about forty or fifty steps.

The smaller the deviation, the more precise the landing point, and the higher the difficulty!

Of course, this isn't absolute. For example, the Grand Elder's teleportation array... In White Tiger's words, the Grand Elder's teleportation array is an Innate Formation Mastery that I can't understand at all!

Precise landing is difficult, but landing that much off-target is much harder than 100% precise landing!

At that moment, as the teleportation array descended, a cold-looking man dressed entirely in a black robe, but with long white hair, stepped out of the array.

"Black Sha greets Lord Night Owl!" Black Sha Fiend had already come out of the courtyard to greet Night Owl.

Night Owl glanced at Black Sha, his face full of disdain, and he didn't even acknowledge Black Sha Night Owl's greeting!

Black Sha knew that Night Owl was arrogant, so he didn't take it to heart and got up to follow Night Owl into the courtyard.

Night Owl sat down in the room in the courtyard, giving Black Sha a cold look. At this moment, Night Owl could only think, no wonder the cult leader said that after the matter was settled, Black Sha would be sent on his way as well!

This guy is a complete waste!

If it weren't for the fact that Yue Ling Black Sha possessed the Tracking Spirit Orb that allowed him to locate Yue Ling, Black Sha might already be dead.

After all, Black Sha's problem isn't just incompetence; he's downright incompetent!

I ordered you to hunt down Yue Ling, but you killed Meng Er instead. What's the meaning of that?

Killing Meng Er is one thing, but you even went so far as to smash the coffin and destroy the corpse during his funeral... What? Did you think the Meng Lineage family was really all dead?

The Meng Lineage's affairs are outrageous enough... but to stand at the gates of Gathering Fire City and provoke the actor who plays Chu Xinghe without a second thought?

When Night Owl heard about this, he witnessed it firsthand, and the cult leader was so terrified he peed his pants!

Although the Vast Heaven Holy Land doesn't usually interfere in matters concerning the actors who play Chu Xinghe, if Black Sha really wipes out a group of actors who play Chu Xinghe, would the Vast Heaven Holy Land really ignore it?

Do you intend to kill the actor who plays Chu Xinghe, or do you have some designs on Chu Xinghe of our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Night Owl asks, "Have you ever heard of the Great Sage who controls the Avici Hell?"

What's going on? The Dark Moon Clan makes a move, so everyone's forgotten what kind of being they are?

If Black Sha really killed the actor who played Chu Xinghe, we don't know what others would think, but if the Dark Moon Clan heard about it, they would definitely send our entire Moon Shadow Cult to its doom!

Because the Dark Moon Clan will never allow anyone who could potentially threaten their Holy One Chu Xinghe to exist!

Under the leadership of our great leader, the Moon Shadow Cult has gradually risen in recent years. However, although our leader is a man of great talent and ambition, he does not believe that he has the ability to contend with the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Forget about touching them, the Moon Shadow Cult would be wiped out if the Vast Heaven Holy Land even glanced at them!

Therefore, the Night Owl's arrival was ostensibly to join forces with Black Sha to eliminate their target.

But before leaving, the cult leader specifically instructed Night Owl.

"Come back on your own after it's done!"

"Yes! Did the cult leader cause Black Sha's accidental death, or...?"

"It doesn't matter, but make sure it's done cleanly. There should be no more Black Sha in this world, and he should definitely not be a member of our Moon Shadow Cult!"

"Rest assured, Master!"

So if it weren't for Black Sha's side being able to track Yue Ling's whereabouts, Black Sha would probably already be dead by now.

At this moment, Black Sha was unaware of the cult leader's instructions. After pouring tea for Night Owl, Black Sha said, "Lord Night Owl... I'm relieved to see you here. I know your abilities, Lord Night Owl!"

"However, I still have to remind Lord Night Owl that Yue Ling are incredibly difficult to kill... These past few days have felt like I've encountered a ghost; I genuinely didn't expect a single one of those inexplicable things to happen..."

Black Sha's eyes are all teary and cute right now!

The Night Owl looked at him with utter disdain!

Too hard to kill?

Night Owl retorted, "Black Sha, do you really think I, Night Owl, know nothing?"

Before I came here, I already knew that Yue Ling's cultivation level was only the Third Rank... The reason she was able to survive was because she carried a lot of resources and gathered a group of experts in various places to protect her!

Under those circumstances, Black Sha Fiend's repeated attacks failed, and the sect leader understood this after hearing about it!

But after arriving in Tuyang Town, Yue Ling only had a few hundred spirit stones left... Then she used those few hundred spirit stones to hire a guy who looked a lot like Ma Liang and an actor who didn't look like Chu Xinghe at all in Tuyang Town.

Does the sect leader really think that the naive young girl Yue Ling doesn't understand her thoughts?

She hired that Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe to make us mistakenly believe that they were the real Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe!

But Yue Ling, do you really think the cult leader is a fool?

If you only have that Ma Liang with you, to be honest, even Night Owl couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world when he saw the Ma Liang appearing in the memory crystal—that someone could look so much like a donkey... no... like Ma Liang!

But the actor who played Ma Liang looked convincing; wasn't Chu Xinghe too fake?

You're bringing these two people with you at the same time—do you think we can't tell it's fake at a glance?

So your little schemes, Yue Ling, are absolutely outrageous!

What the heck? Do you think it's possible that Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe are real?

The Night Owl seemed to think, "Are you crazy?"

Yue Ling only had a few hundred spirit stones at most. Could she really hire the actors who played Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang with just a few hundred spirit stones?

This is even more unbelievable than you telling me that Yue Ling is actually a hidden Ninth Rank expert!

As Yue Ling was walking down the street, she bumped into the real Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe. She hired them for just a few hundred spirit stones, and Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe actually agreed?

Do you want to hear if this is even human language?

Let's not even talk about Chu Xinghe... What kind of existence is Ma Liang? Getting Ma Liang to do something once wouldn't even be enough to sell out our entire Moon Shadow Cult!

Someone like Ma Liang could send the entire Moon Shadow Cult on its way with just a glance!

Therefore, this absolutely cannot be Ma Liang!

Leaving aside Ma Liang, let's talk about Chu Xinghe... Isn't he a bit too fake?

Back in Hundred Herbs City, everyone saw Chu Xinghe personally pour wine for Yue Ling and Ma Liang, right?

Based on this alone, he absolutely cannot be Chu Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe poured you wine? What's your background?

Moreover, the scouts discovered along the way that Ma Liang would occasionally mock Chu Xinghe!

If that's true, it's even more outrageous... That's Chu Xinghe! Ma Liang would have to be extremely respectful in front of him. We've also had the privilege of meeting the top disciples of other major powers. Although we weren't among the top ten, even those top disciples from those major powers, look at the people below them, who would dare to laugh at them?

Isn't that courting death? Mocking the chief disciple? Where does that leave the chief disciple's dignity?

So with all these strange points combined, it's definitely not possible that it's really Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe!
