When he was still a few miles away from the Immortal Dawn Mountain, he did not immediately enter the mountain. Instead, he first hid in a deserted alley and stayed there for almost an hour. After confirming that no one was following him, he brought the young woman back to his cave with a peace of mind.
Although the Immortal Dawn Mountain also had Practitioners patrolling the mountain, to Liu Ming, avoiding them was naturally an easy task.
After the time it takes to eat a meal, Liu Ming brought Hu Chunniang back to his cave.
Just in case, he left the White Bone Scorpion outside before entering the cave. If anyone approached, it would immediately alert the White Bone Scorpion.
When he returned, Qian Ruping was already sleeping soundly in her room.
Liu Ming naturally wouldn't wake the little girl up. He directly carried the young woman into his bedroom and placed her on the bed. Then, he carefully looked at the woman a few times.
At this time, the black color on Hu Chunniang's lips had completely disappeared. At the same time, the dark red color on her face had also disappeared.
But when Liu Ming carefully examined her for a while, he suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and said:
"Senior Hu, since you're already awake, there's no need to continue pretending."
"Hehe, how did Junior find out that I was awake?" The young woman, who originally seemed to be unconscious, slightly moved her eyelids and actually laughed lightly as she opened her eyes.
"When I came here, I needed to be on guard against enemies following me, so I did not notice Senior's abnormality. But now that we're here, if Senior Hu still wants to pretend to be unconscious, how can you hide from my eyes and ears? But speaking of which, when did Senior Hu wake up? "Liu Ming sighed as he spoke.
"When Junior used his hand to randomly do strange things on my body, I was startled awake." Hu Chunniang stared at Liu Ming's face and rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Cough, Senior, please don't take offense! I had no other choice. In order to prevent myself from being chased, I did this. "Hearing this, Liu Ming lightly coughed twice and couldn't help but reveal a trace of awkwardness on his face.
"Of course I understand this. Otherwise, as soon as I woke up, I wouldn't have been polite to you. But no matter what, I was molested by you. Junior brother, you have to give me an explanation! "Hu Chunniang still looked at Liu Ming without blinking and said with a smile that was not a smile.
"What kind of explanation does Senior Sister Hu want?" Liu Ming was slightly stunned when he heard that.
"Junior's real name is Bai Congtian, right?" Hu Chunniang didn't directly answer and instead changed the topic.
"It seems like Sister Hu has investigated my identity from the Sect!" Liu Ming frowned when he heard this.
"Someone who has recently become a core disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and survived the secret realm. Other than the Earth Spirit Root disciple who is in seclusion preparing to break through to the Spirit Master realm, I really can't think of anyone else in your sect who has such frightening strength as Junior Bai. "Hu Chunniang said with a slight smile.
"Since Senior Sister has just come out, I naturally have no need to deny it. I am indeed the 'Bai Cong Tian' that you speak of. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed a few times before he calmly admitted it.
"Oh, if that's the case. Junior's current appearance is definitely not your original appearance. Is it possible for Senior to take a look? "Seeing that Liu Ming had really admitted it, Hu Chunniang immediately said with a smile on her face.
"My original appearance is not something that needs to be kept a secret. If Senior wants to see it, it is naturally not impossible. "This time, Liu Ming hesitated slightly before slowly nodding his head.
Subsequently, he formed a hand sign with one hand and wiped his face with the other.
Immediately, there was a crunching sound from within his body. At the same time, his face became blurry and turned into a normal youth with a slightly pale face. He looked to be at least seven or eight years younger than the original Confucian scholar.
"This is Junior Bai's original appearance. He looks very normal." After Hu Chunniang circled around Liu Ming a few times, she unexpectedly made a few comments and clicked her tongue.
When Liu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. He rolled his eyes and directly said:
"I have already revealed my original appearance. Shouldn't Senior also show your true appearance? Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
"If you also want to see my true appearance, of course there is no problem. Senior's original appearance is not something that can't be seen by others. "Hearing this, Hu Chunniang sweetly smiled.
She then took out a thumb-sized, five-colored bead from her sleeve and shook it a few times in front of Liu Ming's face. After a flash of light, a young woman who seemed to be only twenty-one or twenty-two years old appeared in front of Liu Ming.
Although the style of the girl's clothes and hair were the same as before, her eyebrows were curved and her mouth was small. Her smile was like a flower and when she smiled, it was overflowing with charm. Her appearance was actually several times better than before!
Even Liu Ming couldn't help but be slightly dazed when he saw such a beautiful face.
At this time, he found that this girl's expression was even more similar to the female disciple from the Heavenly Moon Sect who had a Psychic Body.
However, that Zhang Xiuniang's face was full of heroic spirit while this Hu Chunniang's face had a bit more flirtatious look.
"So this is Senior's original appearance. With such beauty, no wonder you have to hide your original appearance. Otherwise, if you walk around Xuanjing with this appearance, who knows how much trouble you would attract. "After a while, Liu Ming slowly said.
"It's good that Junior knows this. I have been in Xuanjing for many years and Junior Bai is the first person to see my true appearance. My five colored pearl, other than changing my original appearance, can reflect any other changes on my face. What I told you before was just a joke. It's all thanks to Junior Martial Brother that I was able to escape death this time. Otherwise, I really would have died in the palace. "Revealing her original appearance, Hu Chunniang's expression became serious.
"Senior Hu, if you weren't poisoned, with your cultivation, why would you be afraid of some Loose Cultivator Guests? That's right, how did Senior fall into their hands? "Liu Ming asked curiously.
"Junior might not know, but I disguised myself as a palace maid to sneak into the palace and personally saw Xuan Zhi's transformation. In the end, something unexpected happened. Not only was I forced to reveal my identity, but I was also injured by the two guards who were hiding nearby. Junior doesn't know that the two guards have a very strange cultivation method. If I didn't immediately attack Xuan Zhi and draw their attention, I would have been heavily injured and forced to stay in the palace. That's right, I also took some antidote pills but they didn't have any effect. What kind of pill did Junior Martial Brother use to be able to cure this poison so easily? "Hu Chunniang bitterly laughed a few times, but then immediately asked with some confusion.
"The poison in your body is indeed very strange. Our Barbarian Ghost Sect's antidote pills also didn't have much effect. Coincidentally, the two people who injured you caught up and I killed them. After finding the antidote, I was able to cure Senior's poison. "Liu Ming said casually.
"What? Junior Brother killed those two fellows? If that's the case, then you know their real identity. "Hu Chunniang heard this and was shocked.
Hearing this, Liu Ming smiled and suddenly took out the storage glyph from his sleeve. With a wave of the glyph, a white light flashed and the fish tail that had been chopped off appeared on the ground.
"As expected, the two of them are of the Sea Race. For Junior to be able to kill two Sea Race cultivators by yourself, you really are as strong as the rumors say. I also have something that I want to show Junior. " Seeing this scene, Hu Chunniang first sucked in a breath of cold air. Her voice was a little strange as she said a few words. She also took out a bamboo tube from her body and shook it on the ground. Immediately, an item came out from it. With a shake of the wind, it grew to a foot long.
Liu Ming looked carefully and couldn't help but be moved!
It was an arm that was also covered in green scales.
"This is …" Liu Ming asked.
"This is one of Xuan Zhi's arms. I took advantage of the chaos to cut it off and put it away. Now, I can confirm that this emperor is not of the human race, but he is not a monster either. He is of the Sea Race. "The girl said calmly.
"Sea Race! How laughable. Our Da Xuan Country is on the mainland and we actually let a foreign race become our emperor. However, we don't know if this Emperor Xuan Zhi was a foreign race from the start or if he killed the real Xuan Zhi and replaced him. "Liu Ming sighed and said with some doubt.
"I'm not sure about this, but is there any difference? With this fish tail and this arm, we have enough evidence to report back to the Sect and have the Sect immediately send out Spirit Masters to sweep through the entire Xuanjing court. "Hu Chunniang said disapprovingly.
"What you say makes sense. However, with Senior's actions, your identity has most likely been exposed and you can no longer return to the Third Marquis House. "Liu Ming nodded his head and reminded her.
"That's natural. In the entire Xuanjing, there aren't many female cultivators who are at the Perfection Realm like me. Adding on the fact that I didn't return for an entire night, as long as those people didn't hit their heads, they will find out that it was me. Therefore, I can only hide here and wait for a chance to report back to the Sect. I didn't think that I would be discovered, or else I wouldn't have left such a big hole. "Hu Chunniang heard this and furrowed her eyebrows as she spoke.
"Senior Hu staying here naturally won't be a problem. Under normal circumstances, normal people wouldn't be able to find this place. However, I feel that the Sea Race won't give up so easily. "Liu Ming's expression changed as he spoke.
"What Younger Brother Liu means is …" After Hu Chunniang heard this, she couldn't help but think.
"Very simple. These Sea Race took such a big risk to sneak into Xuanjing and even controlled the palace and half of the court. They must be plotting something big. Now that Emperor Xuan Zhi has been exposed by you, they know that their identity as a foreign race has been exposed. Although they don't know that we are Supervising Envoys, they will definitely think that we might have told the five sects. In this kind of situation, I don't believe that the Sea Race can just quietly wait for the five sects to send people into the capital to capture them. "Liu Ming said slowly.
