Huang Xiao kept turning over ways to escape in his mind. His internal power had now returned to its original level, so forcibly escaping Gu Xihan and Zeng Yan's pursuit was clearly unlikely.
Hiding was a good option, but Huang Xiao could not find a suitable place on such short notice.
If he simply picked somewhere to hide, the two Old Fools would probably find him very quickly. That approach clearly could not be relied upon.
After some thought, Huang Xiao made up his mind. Perhaps I'll have to take another risk.
Having decided, Huang Xiao prepared to turn back.
He intended to blend into the crowd of Jianghu people from earlier. Gu Xihan and Zeng Yan probably would not immediately think that he would return and mingle with those people.
Huang Xiao had some confidence in his disguise skills. At the very least, those Jianghu people would certainly have difficulty detecting his true identity.
The two Old Fools had discovered his identity earlier most likely because he had given something away when he fought.
With that thought, Huang Xiao did not hesitate at all. His facial features shifted, taking on a different face. Although he still looked like a middle-aged man, his appearance had changed completely.
Huang Xiao even made some changes to his build.
The only remaining flaw now was his clothing.
Still, that was not much of a problem.
As Huang Xiao cautiously made his way back, he encountered two Evil Dao men along the road, casually killed them, and changed into one of their outfits.
Then Huang Xiao walked along the main road as an ordinary lone Jianghu traveler, heading toward that crowd of Jianghu people.
He encountered quite a few others along the way. Everyone kept the peace, maintaining their distance as they traveled together.
