After leaving Musha City, Xu Chunniang headed westward, but she was recognized not long after she went far.
Three Nascent Soul cultivators blocked her way and looked at her unkindly.
"Are you the thief who stole the Xuanhuang Pagoda? Lord Meng kindly invited you to visit the Meng family, but you took the opportunity to steal the Meng family's innate treasure. You are simply courting death!"
"Hand over the Xuanhuang Pagoda and follow us back to surrender. Perhaps Lord Meng will be kind enough to spare your life."
"Why bother talking to her so much? Just kill her and we can naturally find the Xuanhuang Pagoda on her!"
Without saying a word, Xu Chunniang took the initiative and directly used the Three Talents Formation to lock onto the cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm who was closest to her, and then used the Meteorite Heart Flame to wrap around him.
"ah!"
Poor man, his body was trapped in the Three Talents Formation and he could only watch helplessly as the magic weapon he had sacrificed was burned into molten iron by the Meteorite Heart Flame. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Before he could even shout for help, the Meteorite Heart Flame took advantage of the situation and burned him to charcoal.
The other people watched him being burned to death, they were all terrified and subconsciously retreated away.
Xu Chunniang's eyes were slightly cold. She locked onto the second cultivator with a formation, teleported closer, and then used the Meteoric Heart Flame to take his life.
In a blink of an eye, two of the three Nascent Soul cultivators died, leaving only the last female cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, who fled in panic.
Xu Chunniang did not chase after her anymore. She stood there, looking coldly in the direction where the female cultivator fled, and sent out a divine thought.
"Tell the others that if they want to be the Meng family's lackeys, ask them to first consider whether they have the ability to do so!"
After Xu Chunniang finished speaking, she continued to flee towards the west.
Wang Tianhu couldn't help but cheer for her, "Well done! Xu girl, this is how you deal with these people. Let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"
Xu Chunniang was not in the mood to joke. She was on the Meng family's wanted list, and countless people came to the scene, some for the nonexistent Xuanhuang Tower, some to capture her to please the Meng family.
It is conceivable that the journey ahead will not be easy.
Sure enough, Xu Chunniang's guess soon came true.
In the next few days, she was chased by seven or eight groups of people.
At the beginning, she would take the initiative to attack and strangle her opponent with thunderous means.
But as time goes by, more and more people are chasing her, and trying to get rid of them all will only waste more time.
Therefore, in the past two days, she has taken action less and less frequently, and often hides and escapes when she can.
I will only take action when I really cannot hide or escape.
"Perhaps, the situation is not as serious as you think. Those who have been chasing you these days are mainly cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage. They are not difficult to deal with."
Seeing that Xu Chunniang looked worried, Wang Tianhu comforted her.
“Your human race’s fusion-stage cultivators all call yourself Saint Sovereigns and are very noble. You probably won’t lower your status to hunt down a cultivator like you who is in the Void Refinement Stage.
Besides, since Meng Yunzhou didn't tell others that he was trapped by your formation, other people naturally don't know your true strength."
"That being said, Meng Yunzhou slandered me for stealing the Xuanhuang Pagoda. I'm afraid someone will cause trouble for me because of this."
Looking at the sky, he seemed to be thinking about something.
“That’s true. Even if some fusion-stage cultivators know that Meng Yunzhou’s words are false, they might attack you out of a desire to give it a try.
Moreover, even if you were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of some powerful people in the fusion stage, it would not be easy to pass through the westernmost land at the border."
A thoughtful look flashed across Xu Chunniang's eyes. At this moment, the Meng family and the other cultivators who were tracking her should have guessed that her destination was the Treeman Kingdom west of the Westernmost Land.
They would have set up numerous checkpoints at the border, waiting for her to fall into their trap.
"It seems that if you want to leave the human race smoothly, it is best to change your identity. This identity must be real and cannot be exposed by others."
Change your identity
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "It's easy to change your identity, but how can you avoid being discovered after changing your identity?"
Every human cultivator has a corresponding identity token, which contains the cultivator's soul.
The soul breath of every cultivator is unique and almost impossible to fake.
"Soul breath cannot be faked, but as long as we can hide it from the monks who check the identity tokens, we can enter the city smoothly."
Wang Tianhu's tone was full of confidence, "It just so happens that I once met a Thousand-Faced Fox in my early years. I learned a few tricks from her and can change my soul in a short period of time."
Back then, he thought the fox was too thin and had only two pounds of meat on it, so he let her go. Perhaps in order to repay her, the Thousand-Faced Fox taught him this trick.
However, the art of changing soul breath is the innate magical power of the Thousand Faced Fox Clan. Even if other races learn it, the effect will be far less than that of the Thousand Faced Fox Clan, so they need to act according to the circumstances.
Xu Chunniang felt a little relieved, but in order to avoid being recognized by others, she had to change her appearance and aura before learning this technique.
As her mind moved, the aura around her gradually weakened, and her cultivation level dropped from the late stage of refining emptiness to the early stage of refining emptiness.
At the same time, her face and figure also changed, transforming into a tall, bearded, middle-aged male cultivator.
Wangtianhu saw her new look and sneered.
"Your appearance and figure have changed, but others are not stupid. Those with higher cultivation than you only need to use their spiritual sense to see your true appearance."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished yet, have I?"
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, let her virtual body temporarily replace her real body, and took control of her body.
The virtual body has no real form and can simulate countless things in the world. Before long, the virtual body simulated a rough aura of spiritual consciousness, replacing Xu Chunniang's original spiritual consciousness.
"Now, can you still distinguish the real from the fake?"
Wangtianhu released his spiritual sense and scanned the bearded "middle-aged male cultivator" in front of him several times, then let out a light "Huh".
"How strange! You actually managed to mistake the fake for the real thing. If my soul hadn't changed, I might have really been fooled by you!"
"From today on, don't call me Xu girl. My name is Xu Dahai, you can just call me Xu boy."
"Xu girl, you are really amazing... Okay, okay, Xu boy, is this okay?"
Wangtianhu was mumbling something, looking quite dissatisfied.
"I don't have to be so careful. Although I only have a remnant of my soul left, it is not something that ordinary people can detect."
"I did this just in case."
There was a hint of helplessness in Xu Chunniang's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant and turned into calmness.
"Okay, now you can teach me the art of changing soul breath."
“The technique of changing soul breath is actually very simple, but if you use this method for a long time, it will cause certain damage to the soul. Don’t use it rashly when you have nothing to do.
After all, this method is the innate magical power of the Thousand Faces Fox Clan. I promised her not to pass it on to others. Now that I have passed it on to you, you have broken your promise. Please do not pass it on to anyone else."
