Chapter 527 Tricks of Her Own

Wu Long turned toward the exit, but stopped after reaching the door, turning back.

"Madam Liang, if you will"

He smiled, and she raised her eyebrow with a bit of puzzlement.

"Hahaha, I could just pass through that door, but I'd really rather not get used to behaving as an illusion if I am going to pretend that I really am here.

Plus you would have to go with me, I am not sure how far is the range you can cast your illusion to"

Wu Long's words woke up the beauty who paused and then smiled with a well-hidden but still perceptible pride.

Flowers appeared in her eyes again, this time each petal had profound symbols on them, which morphed and transformed into illusory shapes.

'Impressive'

He slightly widened his eyes.

She drew on her pipe, and then sent a small ring of smoke that morphed shapes, and then absorbed into Wu Long.

"You learned the Art of Corporeal Illusions at such a cultivation, in a Boundless Mortal World?"

He asked, not concealing being impressed while clenching his fist.

"Haha, I do have tricks of my own.

I did use my connection with the Palace of Secrets to research what interested me, but my main motivator was learning powerful techniques that could not be obtained in the Boundless Mortal World"

She said with a bit of confidence.

"But, won't it take too much of your Spiritual Qi? I know you have a big reserve as an Essence Awakening Realm cultivator, but Corporeal Illusion Art is something even people much much higher than you in cultivation struggle to keep up..."

"I have a Mystic Qi Ocean Physique"

"I see, that changes things"

He nodded with understanding. Unlike the Extreme Yin or Yang Physiques, where the core of the unique power was focused in the Root of Harmony, the Mystic Qi Ocean Physique's was focused around the Root of Spirituality.

'Heh, I guess it makes sense'

He smiled, as when he first encountered her and the only time he used Chaos Origin Eyes on her, he was still in Qi Condensation Realm, and as miraculous as that technique was, the lower in cultivation he was, the more disproportionately it was restricted.

This explained why she managed to hide this fact, though there was also the fact that this Physique had very limited signs, and he did not pry too deeply into her secrets to notice them.

Not to mention that unlike the Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art, he only comprehended the first layer of the Chaos Origin Eyes, although he recently came close to understanding the 2nd layer during his enlightenment.

When he met her later with higher cultivation of Revolving Qi Realm, likely being able to see through her physique, they already had some goodwill, and as such there was no need to investigate her.

"If that is the case, do you mind if I use your Spiritual Qi if need arose?"

He smiled, and while she raised her eyebrows, she nodded with agreement.

"Don't worry, you just need to let me control the flow like you did earlier"

And after reassuring her, he opened the door coming out of the room with Madam Liang following him.

"Wu Long, I just received your message"

Ye Ling greeted them in the courtyard.

"Good thing you warned me, I would've cut you on the spot"

She then sighed with relief while Liang Yuhan widened her eyes.

"Haha, well, I've seen Madam Liang's reaction so I decided not to gamble. Your Sword Intent is no joke after all"

He made a slightly dry laugh.

Normally, Wu Long wouldn't fear any damage coming to him as he was just an illusion, but Ye Ling's level of Sword Intent was a completely different matter altogether.

He warned her about the illusion from where he was truly at with another communication talisman, since she would have attacked on sight.

The reason was simple.

While his consciousness was controlling this illusion, he was not truly here, and thus neither of his women would feel the bond that tied them.

If Ye Ling, unlike his less experienced women, saw 'Wu Long' whom she did not feel a connection to, even if her senses screamed at her that it was him, she would have attacked with no hesitation, because she was currently feeling the bond with the one located in the Northern Sea, thus making any other 'Wu Long' an impostor, and the more real the feeling that it was truly him, the more dangerous the impostor was.

"Ling'er, I need that Spatial Ring I gave you last time"

"Mm, sure"

Ye Ling nodded, handing over one of the Spatial Rings he gave her for safekeeping in the Mansion.

Wu Long and Madam Liang then moved out together, though she concealed her presence with Illusion Arts and traveled at a distance from him.

Princess Cai Yin's double who received a notification about an imminent attack by Liang Yuhan was sitting in a meeting with the Tingren Royal Family with the Imperial Ambassador overseeing the proceedings.

It was a private restaurant with a garden that only served one party of customers at a time, often used by nobles forprecisely such occasions.

The outside garden which was currently in full bloom of spring and filled with guards in casual clothing, suddenly grew noisy.

"Intruders!"

"Enemy Attack! Protect the Royal delegation!"

"Protect Her Highness! Concentrate around the tea house!"

"Secure His Excellency the Ambassador!"

The different shouts of Guards prioritizing their own targets of protection reached the ears of the people inside.

"W-what is this?!"

The current Crown Prince who took position after the last one was executed shouted with widening eyes, throwing a gaze of suspicion toward 'Cai Yin'.

"I have as much information about this as you, Brother"

She spoke with her own gaze of suspicion toward the man, while inwardly thinking that the poor bastard was truly not notified of the attack, probably because he was bad at acting.

Her liege, the real Princess Cai Yin once told her that the only reason this man was chosen to be the Crown Prince was because how easy it would be for whoever manipulated the Royal Family from behind to do so once he is on the throne.

She was not as worried as their side was prepared for the attack, having prior knowledge it would be happening.

And though the Wine Dao Master who was in the Tingren Kingdom could not interfere unless it involved someone on his level or at least a Mortal Transcendence Realm, since he was protecting their side only against attacks from those level of forces, there were other competent people around who could handle this trouble.

"G-guards! Guards! I need protection!"

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince started shouting with a panic-

stricken voice, his wide eyes filling with fear throwing more confusion into the situation.

However, the noise outside gradually died down at this point, as an unknown group of masked people interfered, striking the attackers from behind, and swiftly retreating.
