Wang Daoyuan gave his doppelganger Wu Yi a low-grade second-rank metal-attributed flying sword. This magic tool was made when he was practicing the art of refining.
There was also a storage bag, which contained a few thousand spirit stones, more than a dozen second-rank pills, and several second-rank talismans.
In Wu Yi's memory, the flying sword and storage bag were obtained by killing a rogue cultivator after he left the ancient cultivator's cave.
He gave Wu Yi a few Earth Escape Talismans. After erasing all memories of himself, he let Wu Yi use Earth Escape Talismans to head to the south of the mountain.
The two of them were in the east of Guiyan Valley. There were almost no second-rank demonic beasts, so Earth Escape was not dangerous.
After Wu Yi's doppelganger left, Wang Daoyuan also immediately used Earth Escape Talisman to head to Guiyan Market Square.
This time, it took him four to five days to deal with his doppelganger.
It was common for rogue cultivators to close their shops and go out to do business. He was not afraid that people would be suspicious.
With Wang Daoyuan's current Divine Sense cultivation, he could perceive his doppelganger within a hundred miles.
This meant that he could directly perceive what his doppelganger saw and heard.
In addition, he could also directly say whatever he wanted to say from Wu Yi's mouth.
Guiyan Market Square was only about thirty miles from the south to the north. The widest from east to west was only about twenty miles.
Within a hundred miles of perception, as long as Wu Yi did not leave Guiyan Market Square, he could perceive him.
Three days later, Wu Yi's doppelganger entered his perception range.
Wu Yi followed his memory and entered Guiyan Market Square.
The Blood Shadow North Mountain Branch's encampment was in the central area of Guiyan Market Square.
Wu Yi's doppelganger was dressed like a rogue cultivator. He wore a black robe and a bamboo hat. He walked to the entrance of a restaurant in the central area.
This restaurant's entrance faced the south. A red plaque with golden edges was hung on the lintel. Three golden words were written on it: "Immortal Welcome Restaurant". This Immortal Welcome Restaurant was the encampment of the Blood Shadow North Mountain Branch.
Wu Yi entered the Immortal Welcome Restaurant. Immediately, a greeter came forward and asked: "Senior, are you here for a meal or a room?"
Wu Yi said coldly: "A single courtyard."
The layout of the Immortal Welcome Restaurant was similar to Guiyan Inn. The rooms were divided into three types: a common room, a private room, and a courtyard.
The greeter brought Wu Yi to the counter. The shopkeeper handed him a token and said: "The easternmost courtyard in the backyard."
The usher smiled and said, "Senior, please follow me."
Wu Yi did not take the token, nor did he move. He sneered and said, "Give me the westernmost courtyard. The western part is of the metal element, and the murderous aura is the strongest."
The shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyes. He looked at the account book and said, "Not everyone can live in the westernmost courtyard. If you want to live there, it depends on how capable Daoyou is."
Wu Yi smiled and said, "I have always been very confident in my own abilities."
The shopkeeper shouted, "Men!"
A fourth level Foundation Establishment black-clothed young man walked over. The shopkeeper continued, "Take him to the westernmost courtyard. Don't care if he's dead or alive."
The black-clothed youth didn't answer. He turned around and walked towards the backyard. Wu Yi followed behind him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard that occupied half an acre of land.
There was nothing special about this small courtyard, except that it was covered by a layer of light.
The black-clothed youth said, "The formation of this small courtyard doesn't have a control token. If you have the ability to enter, you can stay here."
Wu Yi walked straight forward and passed through the light barrier.
Then, his path became complicated. After a few steps, he had to turn a corner. Sometimes, he had to take a few steps back.
The distance from the defensive light barrier to the entrance of the small courtyard was only a few feet, but he had to walk hundreds of steps.
He walked to the entrance and gently pushed the door open. Then, he walked into the small courtyard.
Seeing him enter, the black-clothed youth turned around and left the backyard.
After Wu Yi entered the small courtyard, he walked straight to the main building. There were no formations or restrictions along the way.
When he arrived at the main building, he pushed the door open and entered.
The main building was divided into three rooms. The central room was in the middle.
There was a portrait hanging on the back wall of the central room. The person in the portrait was wearing a blood-red robe. He held a black sword in his right hand and a head in his left hand. He was walking forward.
The head looked very strange. Its facial features looked a little like a human's, but it had scales and four ox-like horns.
However, the portrait depicted the person's back. The face couldn't be seen at all. It was impossible to tell whether the person in the portrait was a man or a woman.
When Wu Yi became an internal member of the Blood Shadow North Mountain branch, he was told that this was the portrait of Ancestor Xue Yi.
Legend had it that Ancestor Xue Yi displayed his might when resisting the invasion of the foreign species. He killed the foreign species' commander and became famous.
After repelling the invaders, he established a sect and recruited disciples.
Later on, for some unknown reason, Ancestor Xue Yi disappeared. His disciples fought fiercely for power and profit.
After several years of fighting, only two disciples were left. Their cultivations weren't very good.
Most of the sect's experts were dead. They didn't dare to stay in the mountain gate.
The two of them took the sect's inheritance and treasures and left the mountain gate.
Later, the two disciples of Ancestor Xue Yi founded Blood Shadow together. Ancestor Xue Yi was honored as the founder of Blood Shadow Sect.
Wu Yi walked to the offering table and took out three incense sticks. He lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the portrait.
Then, he walked to the futon beside the offering table and knelt down. He kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the portrait.
Then, a tile under the offering table moved to the side, revealing a half-foot-wide pit.
At the bottom of the pit was a dent. The pattern on it was exactly the same as the front of Wu Yi's Blood Shadow Token.
He took out the Blood Shadow Token and placed it on the dent. Then, he cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the token.
The token of an internal member of Blood Shadow was different from that of an external member. Anyone who picked it up could become a member of Blood Shadow.
An internal member's token was one token per person. Once the person died, the token would become invalid.
He dripped his blood on the token to prove that it was his.
When his blood fell on the token, it emitted a light.
After three breaths, the light of the token disappeared. A cracking sound came from the eastern house.
Wu Yi immediately put away the token and moved the tile back to cover the small pit.
He walked towards the eastern house and saw a five-foot square hole in the ground of the eastern house. There was a staircase in the hole that extended downwards. He followed the staircase down to the bottom of the hole.
After half a cup of tea's time, he reached the bottom of the hole.
As soon as he walked down the stairs, three swords came out from different directions and were placed on his neck. It just so happened that his neck was completely surrounded. There was no place to hide.
Four people walked out from the darkness. Three of them were holding swords. All of them were at Foundation Establishment level 3. The empty-handed one was at Foundation Establishment level 6.
The empty-handed cultivator asked: "What's your name?"
Wu Yi took out the token and showed it to him.
The empty-handed cultivator was surprised: "Wu Yi, you haven't come back for more than 20 years. But your soul lamp hasn't been extinguished. The Hall Master thought you had betrayed us.
If you didn't come back after 25 years, the Hall Master would've reported to the headquarters and sent Blood Wolf to kill you.
Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come back? "
Wu Yi coldly snorted. He released the spirit energy of Foundation Establishment level 8 and said: "Is this something you should ask?"
The three sword-wielding cultivators were shocked. They immediately withdrew their swords. The empty-handed cultivator was also a bit scared.
In Blood Shadow, strength determined status.
Wu Yi was at Foundation Establishment level 8. His status was naturally above the four of them. They didn't dare to offend him.
Wu Yi said to the empty-handed cultivator: "Take me to see the Hall Master"
The empty-handed cultivator didn't say anything and led the way in front.
This underground cave was very big. The empty-handed cultivator led him for 15 minutes before they arrived at a palace-like building.
The empty-handed cultivator shouted: "Reporting to the Hall Master, sir Wu Yi has returned"
A female voice came from inside the palace: "Wu Yi, come in"
Wu Yi clasped his fist: "Yes, Hall Master"
Saying so, he walked forward.
The empty-handed cultivator left and continued to guard the door.
