Chapter 704 - 635: Stepping onto the Peak 44 (4,000 Words)_3
Because many of the disciples on both sides were descendants of sect elders or stewards, when their children died, naturally they couldn’t stand the sight of their enemies. The relationship between the two sects instantly turned from intimate to hostile.
Originally, Shuangshuang wanted to hear more of the follow-up, but those two gossiping maids didn’t know much more. Later, they were punished by Liang Ziqian’s steward for chatting instead of working, which led to no maids daring to gossip about these matters, so Shuangshuang didn’t know what happened next.
This matter had been weighing on Shuangshuang’s mind because she felt guilty for the Wuji Sect that had cultivated her for so long. Shuangshuang instinctively avoided news about the Wuji Sect, but in truth, she was deeply concerned about it. So even a bit of gossip was clearly remembered by her.
At this moment, facing the two disciples of the Li Tian Sect who were pursuing Qian Mu and Ling Zhan, this news suddenly burst into Shuangshuang’s mind from her heart’s hidden corners, making her remember it completely, and it lingered in her mind.
Shuangshuang carefully examined the two disciples of the Li Tian Sect and even used the Spirit Exploration Technique, confirming that there was nothing unusual about these two. Yet, Shuangshuang still felt something was amiss.
Shuangshuang’s suspicion was simple; she suspected that these two were not disciples of the Li Tian Sect but were from some other sect or strange organization posing as them. This was not an idle thought, but connected to her own experiences.
Previously, at the Tan Family, when Shuangshuang went to a branch family to complete a task about a martial artist’s disappearance, she used the Transformation Technique to disguise herself as the Bai Family’s second young lady, Bai Shuyao, known for her cruelty to servants. That Transformation Technique was so exquisite that no one could detect any flaws.
If these two disciples of the Li Tian Sect also had such a refined method to change their appearance, then it was highly possible for them to impersonate members of the Li Tian Sect, infiltrate, and deliberately cause chaos, stirring hatred between the Wuji Sect and the Li Tian Sect.
Shuangshuang watched for a long time but couldn’t find any flaws. Meanwhile, Qian Mu and Ling Zhan, who had rested, stood up and huddled next to Shuangshuang, crouching to observe these two unconscious individuals for a while. They looked at Shuangshuang with confusion as she manipulated these two unconscious people.
Unable to hold back their curiosity, Qian Mu couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Sister Tan, what exactly are you doing by manipulating these two? Do they have anything strange about them?"
On the other side, Ling Zhan was also looking at Shuangshuang with Qian Mu, waiting for Shuangshuang to explain. Shuangshuang didn’t keep them in suspense; she directly said, "I find it strange that their relentless behavior to kill was odd. Can you tell me why they were chasing you before?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Mu and Ling Zhan exchanged glances and also noticed something peculiar. The two of them recalled briefly, and Qian Mu said, "I didn’t feel it before, but now that you mention it, I do find it strange. Ling Zhan and I encountered an excellent Spiritual Medicine, which by market price outside, is worth at least five to six million Spiritual Pearls. We happily picked it up."
"Unexpectedly, just as we packed the Spiritual Medicine, these two people suddenly appeared and, without a word, came to snatch the medicine. We were no match for them, so we handed it over, thinking that would be the end of it. But who knew they would still persist in trying to kill us even after taking it."
Ling Zhan also recalled and said, "This matter is indeed strange. Although they came to snatch the Spiritual Medicine, their attention was hardly on it the whole time. Instead, they seemed more eager to attack us."
Shuangshuang frowned, looking at the two on the ground who were about to wake up, finally deciding to waste their cultivation. No matter how exquisite a Disguise Technique was, as long as there was no Spiritual Power to support it, they would immediately revert to their true appearance.
Acting upon her decision, Shuangshuang raised her hand, aimed at one of the unconscious men, and punched down. The man in the Li Tian Sect disciple’s attire was jolted awake from unconsciousness by Shuangshuang’s punch, letting out a distorted wail because Shuangshuang had directly shattered his Spirit Mansion!
The man writhed in pain on the ground, and his originally handsome appearance began to change. His skin turned dark, his once prominent nose flattened, his mouth widened, and his eyes grew smaller, transforming directly into another person.
