I'll grit my teeth and take the blame!

Having lost a lot of blood, Song Shuhang washed off the blood and then lay weakly on the bed to recover...

Meanwhile, in space, another 'Song Shuhang' encountered a major crisis.

Because he had been drugged by the Medicine Master, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was too weak to resist the Fairy Flowing Firefly's 'Repulsion Rocket Skyward Technique' and was launched into space.

[Sigh, I've finally entered the universe. Damn it, if I hadn't been poisoned by Medicine Master's Weakness Toxin and Fairy Flowing Firefly's Repulsive Ejection, I could have broken free in a second.] Copper Trigram Immortal Master thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

At the same time, the Immortal Master remembered what that bastard Northern River's Loose Cultivator, had said in the group chat, "[I'm sure he (the Copper Trigram Immortal Master) is heading into space right now. Once he enters space, I'm 50% confident I can intercept him.]"

The person who knows you best is your enemy. Copper Trigram Immortal Master firmly believes in this saying!

Now, I have entered the universe.

If Northern River's Loose Cultivator really made some arrangements near space, and I accidentally revealed my true form in the universe, I might actually be ambushed and caught by Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

The mere thought of being surrounded by fellow Daoists from the "Nine Provinces Number One Group" for heart-to-heart talks sent a chill down Copper Trigram Immortal Master.

[In other words, I'd better keep my appearance as 'Little Friend Shuhang' to avoid being surrounded and captured by Northern River's Loose Cultivator and the fellow Daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.] Copper Trigram Immortal Master thought to himself.

Therefore, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master carefully maintained the effect of the 'Disguise Technique', while deliberately trying his best to exude the aura of 'Young Friend Song Shuhang'.

Now, even if Mom Song and Dad Song came together, they would never recognize him as an imposter.

God-level Disguise Technique are truly terrifying.

And so, a coincidence occurred.

--It was precisely because the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was releasing the aura belonging to 'Young Friend Song Shuhang' that his aura attracted the attention of a cultivator!

Master of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall!

The sect leader was returning to the Limitless Demon Sect. As he made his way back, he roared with rage in his heart—[He had memorized the aura of that Second-Grade cultivator. He must never let him see that cultivator again, or he would make him pay! If that cultivator falls into his hands, he will make him wish he were dead!]

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, he sensed that aura!

He couldn't be wrong about that damned little cultivator's aura; he had memorized it perfectly. Even across mountains and rivers, he wouldn't mistake it.

That damned Second-Grade cultivator is nearby!

"I searched high and low without finding it, but then it came to me effortlessly!"

The hall master took a deep breath, a cruel smile appearing on his face—today, he was utterly pathetic! He had failed to save his comrades, many of his Golden Core level subordinates had died, and even his soul had been exorcised by a Second-Grade ghost. Afterwards, he was being hunted down by that Ancient Shrine Maiden with her unpredictable mind.

He harbors a burning anger within him, which, if left unvented, might become Heart Demon within him.

Kill that brat, extract his soul, and let him taste the cruelest torment in the world.

The sect leader summoned the Limitless Demon Sect's exclusive flying sword and swiftly flew towards the source of the aura.

A few moments later, the hall master had already approached his target.

Then, he looked around and saw that detestable Second-Grade Cultivator — Song Shuhang, who had a calm expression, rubbing his chin as if he were pondering life.

Even through the thick space helmet, he could still vaguely recognize that aura and that face.

That's him!

"You wretched little brat, I've found you!" the leader of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall roared, his voice Secret Voice Transmission directly into the ears of the Copper Trigram Immortal Master.

The Copper Trigram Immortal Master was startled and looked at the newcomer. "Fellow Daoist, who are you looking for?"

"You dare to pretend you don't know me? Heh heh heh... Fine, anyway, I'm going to kill you today! Prepare to die!" The Nine-Eyed Gama Hall sneered, and the standard flying sword of the Limitless Demon Sect beneath his feet vanished in a flash, slashing towards the Copper Trigram Immortal Master.

The Copper Trigram Immortal Master was completely dumbfounded. Holy crap, what on earth is this? Drawing his sword the moment they met?

[Could this be an ambush set by the Northern River's Loose Cultivator?]

Is Northern River really that cunning? Even when he disguised himself as 'Young Friend Song Shuhang,' he was still caught in a trap?

No! This is definitely not an ambush by Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

The killing intent emanating from the other party was too obvious.

That blatant killing intent meant the other party genuinely wanted to kill him... or more accurately, wanted to kill his young friend Song Shuhang?

"Let's settle the scores of all my subordinates today! You damned little brat!" the leader of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall roared, his sword flashing as it slashed towards him.

Upon hearing this, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master immediately realized—damn, it really was Shuhang's fault!

Now it seems he's definitely going to take the blame!

What a joke! He's still in the same 'weak and poisoned' state as the Medicine Master, and he's also enveloped by the repulsive force of the Fairy Flowing Firefly. He can't even dodge!

Isn't this just messing with me?

Damn it, I don't want to take the blame for this!

When!

While he was pondering, the flying sword of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall Master had already struck the side of the Copper Trigram Immortal Master. However, it was blocked by an invisible defense.

The flying sword burst into a string of pure energy sparks in the void.

Immediately afterwards, the hall master's sword, slashed in anger, was repelled by the repulsive force... That was the Daoist technique of the Fairy Flowing Firefly enveloping the Copper Trigram Immortal Master's 'Repulsion Rocket'.

This protective layer blocked the hall Copper Trigram Immortal Master. However, after this sword strike, the repulsive force layer disappeared.

The Copper Trigram Immortal Master was finally freed.

But... this "freedom" has come at the worst possible time. In his weakened state, he can only unleash 20-30% of his full strength. Losing his protective layer will be a real headache.

Seeing that his angry sword strike had failed to kill even a Second-Grade minor cultivator, the hall master became even more enraged.

"Die!"

The power within his Spirit Lake has now recovered considerably, allowing him to unleash some divine abilities at the Sixth-Grade True Lord level.

With a roar, the hall master took a step forward. At the same time, a huge golem foot appeared under his foot, so large that it could crush the earth and shatter the void with a single stomp.

This kick is aimed at the Copper Trigram Immortal Master, intending to crush him to pieces!

"Damn it, if I weren't in such a weakened state, I would have made you pay." The Copper Trigram Immortal Master gritted his teeth and threw out more than ten bamboo sticks.

Those bamboo sticks were all divination slips, but in the hands of the Copper Trigram Immortal Master, once they were scattered, they instantly set up a divination array. The slips automatically formed an array in the void according to the eight trigrams, and the seemingly ordinary bamboo sticks could borrow the power of heaven and earth to transform into layer upon layer of defensive arrays.

If Copper Trigram Immortal Master hadn't been in a weakened state, the range and power of this formation could have been increased more than tenfold.

Although he's a divination black marketeer, it doesn't mean his divination skills are weak! His black market status is simply due to his strange character, and has nothing to do with his actual strength!

"A mere trick! Die!" the hall master roared, stomping down with his right foot, the golem's foot crushing down in the same way.

Boom~~

The Bagua formation set up by the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was shattered with a single step.

At the same time, the enormous foot, powerful enough to shatter the void, continued its relentless march toward the immortal master.

The 'Song Shuhang' disguised as the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was crushed head-on by a kick, screaming like a reptile being run over by a human, "Aaaaaaaahh...

Amidst screams, the 'Song Shuhang' disguised as the immortal master was crushed and trampled to pieces.

Song Shuhang in the Copper Trigram version, a complete flop?

"Hmph, damned bastard, don't think this is the end of it. The grudge against so many of my subordinates won't end so easily. I will bind your soul and let you experience all the torture methods of the Limitless Demon Sect," the hall master said coldly.

After saying that, he moved swiftly and instantly appeared beside 'Song Shuhang's' corpse. He then reached out and tried to pull the 'soul' out of the body.

However, the hall master froze the next moment.

Didn't draw the Soul Reaper?

"Is it a clone? Or Puppet Double?" The hall master clenched his fist tightly.

He looked around, but could no longer find any trace of the Second-Grade Cultivator; his aura had vanished without a trace.

Damn it, we still couldn't kill this guy!

But... if we meet again, I will definitely kill him. Next time, don't even think about escaping with a 'double' or similar means!

The leader of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall angrily sheathed his flying sword, stepped on it, and vanished from the spot in an instant, covering a thousand miles.

About ten minutes later.

In this void, apart from Song Shuhang's corpse, nothing changed.

Suddenly, the figure of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall Master quietly appeared behind a meteorite, staring intently at the 'corpse'.

The 'corpse' remained unchanged.

The hall master frowned, but finally he reached out and grabbed the corpse of 'Song Shuhang', then flew away on his sword to the Limitless Demon Sect once more.

Whether this 'corpse' is a substitute or an avatar, it will always have a connection with the 'original body'. Their Limitless Demon Sect has a way to trace back to the original body by following the avatar or substitute.

However, it will come at a considerable cost, and the time after the substitute or clone is destroyed cannot be too long, otherwise it will be impossible to grasp that 'connection'.

Therefore, the sect leader accelerated the process of returning.

[Next time we meet, I'll make sure that guy is dead and doesn't have a burial place!]

After confirming that the hall master had disappeared, an invisible Bagua formation appeared in the void. Within the Eight-Trigrams Formation, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master, pale-faced, emerged from the formation.

"That was close! If I hadn't had so many props on me, that kick would have taken my life. By the way, could this be the true interpretation of the 'auspicious omen' I received when I was on Earth?" the Copper Trigram Immortal Master said dejectedly.

Once we return to Earth, young friend Song Shuhang must thank him. He took the fall for Shuhang in his place.

[So, next, should we go back to Earth?] The Copper Trigram Immortal Master pondered, looking at the 'Fairy Flowing Firefly' ribbon around his waist and the mark the ＠＃％×Fairy had left on his body.

This is not a good situation. With these marks on him, the Fairy Flowing Firefly will sense his return to Earth immediately. ＠＃％×Fairy might have to travel all the way over to give him another taste of the 'Repulsion Rocket Ascension Technique'.

[So, how do we erase these marks and ribbons?] This thought popped into the mind of the Copper Trigram Immortal Master.

But he immediately dismissed the thought—if he erased the mark, Fairy Flowing Firefly would definitely sense it immediately. At that time, she would definitely think that something had happened to young friend Song Shuhang.

If she were to rally the fellow Daoists in space within the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' to immediately rush to the imprinted coordinates, wouldn't the Copper Trigram Immortal Master be trapped like a turtle in a jar?

So, let's not go back to Earth yet. Now that we're in space, let's stay there for a while.

However... I can use the appearance of 'Little Friend Song Shuhang' again.

Shen Tema knew what trouble Song Shuhang had gotten into while he was in space.

He's already taken the blame for one thing with Song Xiaoyou, he absolutely doesn't want to take the blame for another!

So, let's get a new face.

It would be best to change the gender again, to a woman. Pretty female cultivators always eat better than male cultivators in unfamiliar environments.

Whose appearance should I disguise myself as?

As he was thinking, a message notification sounded from the special phone of the Copper Trigram Immortal Master.

The immortal masters are not too far from Earth now, and this modified phone can still receive a signal.

It's a message from the Nine Provinces Number One Group; Fairy Lychee just chimed in.

Not long ago, Copper Trigram Immortal Master set Fairy Lychee as a [follower] in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, so he could see her whenever ＠＃％×Fairy went online.

--Because at the time, he bought a precious robe for the Fairy Lychee as an apology gift. So he paid special attention to the ＠＃％×Fairy to see if his apology gift had any effect.

Currently, the Fairy Lychee is still on the list of people that the Copper Trigram Immortal Master is paying attention to.

As usual, Fairy Lychee posted two beautiful photos, taken in South Pole with penguins.

The Fairy Lychee is as beautiful as ever today.

It's decided... I'll disguise myself as the Fairy Lychee!

Why did he disguise himself as Fairy Lychee after being thoroughly beaten up by her? Because— Fairy Lychee is the only member in the group who can be confirmed to be 'bribed' with treasures.

Even if she discovers that I've disguised myself as her again, as long as I promptly offer her an apology gift, there won't be any problems.

This is what the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was thinking—so he began to disguise himself and change clothes in space.

In just over ten breaths, the space lost one 'Song Shuhang' and gained a beautiful Fairy Lychee.

In fact, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master could easily disguise himself as an 'original' female cultivator.

However, for some reason, in recent years, Copper Trigram Immortal Master has rarely disguised himself with his original face. Instead, he has become increasingly fond of disguising himself as fellow Daoists from the "Nine Provinces Number One Group" or as well-known figures in the Immortal World, and he enjoys it immensely.

As for the reason... it's probably due to his hobbies and interests during this period.

[Now that I've become the Fairy Lychee, I can't keep taking the blame, can I?] The Copper Trigram ＠＃％×Fairy smiled slightly, her smile strikingly similar to the Fairy Lychee in the photo!

******************************

The sun rises.

Song Shuhang got out of bed wearily. He had lost too much blood yesterday and felt weak all over.

"You're up? Get ready, I'll take you to the 'Three Lives Global Express' branch." Yu Jiaojiao jumped up from the windowsill and landed on Song Shuhang's shoulder.

We need to go and see what good things Elder 'Bamboo Pipe' left behind!
