Chapter 430: Xiao Shi’s “Clone” (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hiding in the dark with an inconspicuous identity was the most basic way for him to survive in this world. Even if he had to obtain important information, he could not obtain it through such a high-profile and dazzling method.
This was too dangerous.
“Unless,” Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He thought of a solution.
Five days later, in the wilderness some distance away from Qianqi Mountain. A handsome youth who was only 14 or 15 years old was panting and had many fractures all over his body. Scarlet blood flowed all over the ground as he moved forward. His vision began to blur. His aura was chaotic. Every breath became extremely difficult.
Swoosh!
A figure caught up with him from behind. It was a burly man with disheveled hair and a face filled with ferocious scars. “Twenty years ago, your Chai family exterminated my entire family and I was lucky enough to escape. Today… 1 will definitely slaughter your entire Chai family!!”
Under the burly man’s furious roar, his speed exploded. He instantly rushed up. There was a crack. He broke the young man’s neck. With the young man’s death, the burly man roared at the sky with tears streaming down his face. After venting his emotions, he left.
In the sky, Xiao Shi watched all of this in silence. He had witnessed many similar killings over the past few days. In such a chaotic world, there would be many killings every day. As long as he did not slaughter mortals or the innocent, he would not interfere.
However, when his gaze focused on the dead youth’s corpse, Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that this youth was the most suitable candidate he had seen in the past few days. “It’s him!”
Xiao Shi’s figure fell from the sky. He came to the young man’s corpse. He stretched out two fingers and tapped the youth’s forehead. A portion of his soul immediately followed his fingers and fused into the young man’s brain, forming a new soul in the young man’s mind.
Whoosh!
The young man’s eyes suddenly opened. It was just like how Xiao Shi had controlled the corpse of the Dongkui Clan. He had successfully controlled this youth’s corpse with his soul. However, there was still a certain difference between the two.
Back then, Xiao Shi’s control was an ability carried by the Red Tiger Totem after atavism. There were actually disadvantages to this ability. If he was swept by his spiritual sense, one would definitely be able to tell at a glance.
However, at that time, the realm Xiao Shi had entered happened to be the physical body realm. He could not use his spiritual sense. Therefore, no one could tell that the corpse of the Dongkui Clan at that time was actually a controlled corpse.
Now that Xiao Shi had formed the Red Tiger Soul and after the Red Tiger Totem had fused with the Red Tiger Soul, his ability had also been completely enhanced.
He called this ability Soul Inheritance! By residing a portion of his Red Tiger Soul in the corpse and fusing it with the corpse itself, he could let the corpse “live”.
In this way, even those experts with spiritual senses would not be able to see anything.
The premise was the Red Tiger Soul had to be perfectly compatible with the corpse.
These few days, Xiao Shi had been searching for a corpse that was compatible with the Red Tiger Soul. After searching for a long time, he finally saw an opportunity in this young man’s corpse.
This was also a drawback of this ability. Not every corpse was compatible with the Red Tiger Soul. Other than that, the Red Tiger Soul in the corpse could not exist for long either. It would become unstable with time.
He needed Xiao Shi to stabilize it every two to three days. This way, he would not be able to stay away from Xiao Shi’s main body for too long like when he controlled the corpse of the Dongkui clansmen.
However, this did not affect Xiao Shi’s next plan. After all, his next plan was to enter the Qianqi Mountain as a genius through this corpse. He would rise in the Qianqi Mountain in the shortest time possible and obtain relevant information about Qin Mo’s death from the Qianqi Mountain’s Patriarch.
Xiao Shi’s main body was also in Qianqi Mountain. He could stabilize the soul of this “clone” at any time. He did not have to worry about being seen through at all.
In this way, the one who was in the limelight was only his “clone”. His main body was still hiding behind the scenes. Even if something unexpected happened, he would at most lose this “clone”. He would still be safe.
Xiao Shi did not have to worry about the talent of this “clone”. Usually, a person’s talent came from their brain and soul. Therefore, no matter what this youth’s previous talent was, as he died, his talent would once again depend on the Red Tiger Soul that Xiao Shi resided in his mind.
With Xiao Shi’s talent, he did not have to worry at all.
Three days later, “There’s actually such a genius!!” In Qianqi Mountain, an elder with white hair and a white beard frowned. He was so old that he could barely stand steadily. After hearing his subordinate’s report, his eyes, which were no longer wide open, suddenly widened. “Hurry! Help me up. I must personally take such a genius under my wing!”
At the same time, all the elders in Qianqi Mountain received the news at the same time. All of them were shocked and ecstatic. They rushed to the mountain gate excitedly.
At the entrance of the Qianqi Mountain, the stone tablet that was usually used for the assessment had already turned into fragments that scattered on the ground. In front of these fragments stood a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth with delicate features.
The young man carried a sword on his back. He held a battle axe in his hand. Previously, he had easily shattered the assessment stone tablet in front of him through the battle axe in his hand. This made the deacon in charge of the assessment in Qianqi Mountain look at the young man as if he was looking at a monster.
The strength of the other party’s axe left an indelible mark in his mind.
“This is too exquisite! Such exquisite axe techniques actually exist outside our Qianqi Mountain. Unbelievable, unbelievable!” The Qianqi Mountain’s deacons who witnessed this were all shocked.
Soon, the elders who received the news arrived one after another. When their gazes focused on the shattered stone tablet on the ground, Their pupils constricted violently. They looked at the young man in front of them with a fanatical expression, fighting to be the first to take him in as his disciple.
Even the oldest elder, who had not taken in a disciple for a long time, was now clamoring to take in a disciple.
Faced with everyone’s competition, the young man rejected apologetically. “I’m sorry. When 1 was young, 1 was guided by Elder Qin Mo. 1 came here today to acknowledge Elder Qin Mo as my master.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding disciples and deacons came to a realization. It turned out that he had received Elder Qin Mo’s guidance. No wonder he was so extraordinary.
The other elders who were fighting fell silent when they heard this. Only the higher-ups knew about Qin Mo’s death, they naturally couldn’t tell him about it in person. One of the elders said, “You came at the wrong time. Elder Qin Mo is not in the sect now. How about this? Join my sect first, and I’ll temporarily take in disciples on behalf of Elder Qin Mo.”
The other elders immediately said similar words. No matter what, they had to accept such a genius first. Then, they would slowly tell him about Qin Mo’s situation. However, after the young man heard this, he shook his head.
“Since Elder Qin Mo isn’t around, I’ll wait for him to come back and acknowledge him as my master.” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
These elders immediately became anxious. Qin Mo was already dead. It was impossible for him to come back. If the other party left, he probably wouldn’t come.
Just as they were about to call this youth to the side and tell him about Qin Mo’s situation, a sword light flashed in the air. It turned into a dark golden sword.
On the sword stood a young man with a cold temperament. He looked at the youth below. “Patriarch invites you to have a chat.”
“Patriarch!?” The elders were shocked. They did not expect that even the Patriarch would be alarmed by this youth. However, on careful thought, this was normal. It was really because this youth’s axe was too stunning.
This kind of genius was extremely attractive to their Qianqi Mountain. The young man’s eyes flashed imperceptibly. He felt that he might not have to rise in the Qianqi Mountain. Just by showing off this time, he would have a chance to obtain information about Qin Mo’s death..
