Disguising His Identity
Mission accomplished.
Dongfang Yueming stood up, dispelled the concealment formation, and walked out of the cave.
"You... you broke through?!"
Upon seeing Dongfang Yueming emerge, both Hong Gui and Baihu, who were guarding outside the cave, were filled with shock.
Although Dongfang Yueming tried his best to conceal his aura, the transcendent feeling he exuded, resonating with the laws of heaven and earth, still made the two women feel a sense of awe and trembling from the depths of their souls.
That was an absolutely terrifying aura that surpassed the True Power Realm and stepped into the Golden Core Great Dao!
"Not bad, you've barely managed to form a core." Dongfang Yueming smiled faintly, without boasting.
"Where do we go next? To the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect?" Baihu asked.
"No, we're not going." Dongfang Yueming shook his head. "A mere eighth-grade sect won't yield much profit. Let's go to those larger main cities nearby, surrounded by seventh and eighth-grade sects."
His goal was clear: to obtain more materials for the Golden Core cultivation method, or even the [Dharma Manifestation Realm] method he had never seen before. He had to go to places with more resources and more high-level cultivators.
Having said that, Dongfang Yueming took out all the "relics" of the Shangyin Academy from his storage ring.
He began to carefully count the spoils of war.
Two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Seeing the mountain of spirit stones, a smile flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes. In the Crimson Profound World, this was a valuable form of currency. Having just arrived, with this huge sum of money, at least he wouldn't have to worry about basic necessities.
Apart from an incomparably sharp level 10 magical flying sword.
What attracted Dongfang Yueming's attention most was a jade communication plaque engraved with a crescent moon pattern.
He channeled a wisp of magic power into the jade tablet, breaking the rudimentary restriction.
"Buzz."
Several unread messages appeared on the jade pendant.
[Outer disciple Zhao Wuji, your task is to patrol the Gate of the Demon Cave No. 73. Ensure the seal is intact and return to the Academy's External Affairs Hall within ten days to report. -- Steward: Li Changfeng]
Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly as he read the message.
"So he was just an outer disciple..."
"An outer disciple not only possesses Profound Grade Golden Core technique but also Earth Grade movement technique... The foundation of the Shangyin Academy is simply terrifying!" Hong Gui, watching from the side, also gasped in astonishment. Such a configuration would definitely be the treatment of a national patriarch in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Dongfang Yueming remained silent, his expression growing somewhat grave.
He recalled the earth-shattering secrets hidden in the memories of that Lingtai Demon King.
"That high-ranking demon from the Primordial Sea not only successfully possessed a human, but also infiltrated the Shangyin Academy with remarkable skill!"
"Moreover, this demon has been lurking for an extremely long time..." Dongfang Yueming stared coldly at the jade tablet, "So, where exactly has it climbed to in this behemoth of a power? Is it an inner disciple? An elder? Or... something even higher?"
An unprecedented sense of crisis welled up inside me.
That high-ranking demon's strength is definitely far beyond the Spirit Platform Realm! It's very likely that it has already reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, the Dharma Manifestation, or even... a more terrifying realm!
If, before one's wings are fully grown, this terrifying monster lurking in the shadows discovers one's existence, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer; we must destroy the body and cover our tracks immediately."
Dongfang Yueming raised his hand and waved, unleashing a beam of Heaven Grade Purple-Gold Divine Light, intending to completely annihilate the headless corpse on the ground.
"Etc!"
Suddenly, Hong Gui grabbed his hand, a cunning glint in her bewitching eyes.
"Yueming, isn't it such a waste to just destroy this corpse like this?"
Hong Gui pointed at the jade pendant and the magnificent moon-white robe, a wicked smile playing on her lips, "This is the identity certificate of an Shangyin Academy! In the Southern Wasteland of the Crimson Profound World, this outfit is a talisman that lets you walk with impunity!"
"Didn't you just say you were going to a big city? If you could impersonate him..."
Hong Gui licked her red lips, her eyes gleaming with shrewd calculation. "Think about it, using the title of a disciple of the Shangyin Academy to plunder cultivation techniques from those seventh or eighth-rank sects and powerful families, or even borrow their library books, isn't that much easier and safer than robbing them?"
Hearing Hong Gui's suggestion.
Both Dongfang Yueming and Baihu's eyes lit up!
"Good idea!" Dongfang Yueming gave Hong Gui an approving look. This woman's mind really works fast.
He immediately withdrew his divine light, completely burning Zhao Wuji's corpse and flesh, leaving only the moon-white academy robe and the jade identity token.
"Splash."
Dongfang Yueming changed into a long robe, hung the jade pendant at his waist, and used his internal energy to slightly alter his appearance.
In an instant, the cold-blooded black-clad killer disappeared, replaced by a handsome and arrogant "Senior Brother Zhao" from the Shangyin Academy!
"Let's go, junior sisters."
A wicked, playful smile curled at the corner of Dongfang Yueming's lips. "Come with your senior brother to the big city to 'stock up'!"
