Xu Zhiling practiced a lot of martial arts, and they were very varied. This was rather similar to Happy, but Happy's ultimate techniques were active ones, while Xu Zhiling's martial arts were rather unique.
First, it was the Art of Immortality. After that, he cultivated Fu Junchuo's Nine Mysteries Great Magic, which was also a mental cultivation method. After that, he obtained the Evil Emperor's Relic and combined it with the special abilities on the He Family Jade to create the strange and unique Three Elements Energy Art. This was something that no one in the world could replicate or cultivate.
Even his successor might not be able to inherit it!
Xu Zhiling explained.
If he wanted to deceive the world, he had to practice at least one of his martial arts, and Happy's Nine Yang Divine Skill could fulfill this requirement. Once he saw it once, he would not be able to forget it, and he could quickly replicate it.
However.
There were plenty of things that could not be replicated, and Three One Origin Qigong was one of them. There was also Boomerang Art, Clear Sword, and the Undying Seals Evil King Shi Zhixuan taught him. They were incredibly meaningful. Hence, in the end, Xu Zhiling decided to practice the True Nine Words Seals he understood.
This martial art could be considered as an ultimate technique, and its effects were very strong. It was comparable to Ten True Dragon Styles.
With just one practice, Happy obtained all the seals for True Nine Words Seals, just as he wished. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that he could only bring out eighty percent of its power, even though he was in Moksha Realm.
But when he thought about it, it was pretty good.
The True Nine Words Seals had endless power. It could be used to increase the user's abilities, and if it was used on the battlefield, it would be the same as him increasing his qi realm. It was very terrifying.
Even though it was just a copy, Happy still felt that he had gained a lot from the quest.
He put on the clothes Xu Zhiling handed him and changed into them without hesitation. Then, he put on the human skin mask he made based on Xu Zhiling's face.
Speaking of which …
Xu Zhiling's height and presence matched Happy's.
Xu Zhiling was very gentle and calm. He did not speak much, and he had a tolerant heart toward all things. Happy, on the other hand, had long since developed his own elegance and presence. When he calmed down, he soon blended into Xu Zhiling's quietness that was difficult for others to imitate. He turned around in front of Xu Zhiling, and Xu Zhiling could not help but put on a surprised expression.
"Now, even I wonder whether I'm looking at a mirror."
"…"
The fake Xu Zhiling gave a slightly embarrassed smile, revealing Xu Zhiling's bashful side to the fullest.
"Brother Happy, I'll have to trouble you to look after this place."
Xu Zhiling didn't continue to talk nonsense, and his expression turned solemn.
He nodded and accepted the quest. At the very least, he had to ensure Shi Qingxuan's safety in the pleasure boat for two hours. He also had to think of a way to force all the people who wanted to get on the boat to retreat.
"…"
To Happy, as long as no insanely powerful Myth Realm martial artists came, with his current strength, the pleasure boat's safety was in the bag.
Xu Zhiling said before leaving with the unknown player.
Without another word, he chose a seat by the window and spread out his spiritual sense from Nine Yang Divine Skill to envelop the entire pleasure boat. While he drank, he took up the duty of being a sentry.
* Hua … *
The faint sound of water splashing rose, and two black figures entered the water from the bottom of the pleasure boat. They quietly slipped out of Happy's sensing range.
Even though Xu Zhiling said that he was worried about Kuo Zhong's safety, Happy knew that the duo should have gone to search for the real Eunuch Yang's Warehouse.
If his guess was correct, Kuo Zhong, who stayed in Yangzhou City, was just a smokescreen to attract everyone's attention and create a chance for Xu Zhiling!
Of course, there was also a possibility that Kuo Zhong was a fake who wore a human skin mask, just like Happy.
The real Kuo Zhong had already gone to Eunuch Yang's Warehouse a long time ago, and Xu Zhiling brought his people to meet up with him.
No matter what!
The answer would be revealed, and the pleasure boat would no longer be at peace.
The people who realized that they were deceived would immediately think of Xu Zhiling and the pleasure boat floating on the river. Then, they would be busy.
…
In Yangzhou City.
At that moment, Kuo Zhong had bought a courtyard that no one lived in. It was surrounded by a sea of people, and it was so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The courtyard had already been searched through, and everyone blocked the area around a dry well that had no water.
The sound of robes fluttering rose. Then, a group of people descended from the sky and landed at the front of the crowd. The person in the lead was Sect Master Extreme Yin.
"Is it here?"
His voice was ghastly, and it was clear that he was not a good person.
The evil cult disciples beside him nodded. "That's right! None of the people who went down just now came back. We were worried that there was an ambush down there, so we sent a signal. "
"Very good."
Sect Master Extreme Yin could not stop laughing coldly.
"If this is the entrance to Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, then the people inside won't be able to escape even if they want to."
Once he finished speaking, his tone changed.
"You guys, come with me."
He chose a few evil cult elders, and they surrounded the dry well before they jumped into it one after another.
Around half an hour passed.
A few people shot out of the dry well with dark expressions. The people in the lead were Sect Master Extreme Yin and another evil cult elder. They each held a corpse in their hands, and their faces were so pale that they looked awful.
"Eunuch Yang's Warehouse?! It's just a mess of bewitchment!"
Empress Yin, Li Shimin, and the others had already rushed over when they heard the news. When they saw the corpses they threw on the ground, their expressions changed.
"What a plan to lure us away! That bastard used a substitute to deceive all of us! "
"Who else is on the pleasure boat?"
Li Shimin turned his head around and asked.
"Artisan Shi's performance on the pleasure boat should have ended. She won't leave anyone on her pleasure boat."
"Then, Xu Zhiling might have also disappeared."
The people from Song House spoke up in the crowd.
"Hmph!"
Empress Yin's expression was dark, and she gave her orders in an incredibly cold manner.
"Immediately search the entire city!
"Search for Xu Zhiling, Kuo Zhong, and all the members of Twin Dragons Sect!
"The few of you, immediately go back to the pleasure boat and investigate whether Xu Zhiling is still on the boat.
"You go as well."
Aside from the evil cult's Twin Female and Male Demons being sent to the pleasure boat, Li Shimin, Song House, Yuwen Family, and Du Fuwei's people also sent people to the pleasure boat.
There were also people from Towering Palace and Class One Hall who took the initiative to head to the pleasure boat.
A large group of people surged to the riverside of Yangzhou City in a mighty wave.
On the vast surface of the river, numerous pleasure boats had already reached the shore. Only Shi Qingxuan's huge pleasure boat remained in the middle of the river, brightly lit.
"Boatman!"
"Set sail!" When they faced the groups of martial artists who forcefully boarded the boat, the people on the pleasure boat clearly panicked.
But there were people who were even more straightforward. The evil cult elites circulated their true qi and stepped on the water to jump to the pleasure boat in the river.
"Artisan Shi is tired today, and she has already gone to rest. Everyone, please go back."
Before they could get close, a cold and sonorous voice traveled to the riverside from the river. "I have something to discuss with Xu Zhiling tonight, and I do not wish to be interrupted by anyone."
The martial artists who were surging to the boat on the riverside froze when they heard this.
The people from Towering Palace and Class One Hall were the first to stop.
