Chapter 1166 - Ant Shaking An Elephant
Before He Yingwu entered the Astral Domain, people across the True Martial Continent knew him as the "Thousand-Faced Saint." No one could rival or match his mastery of disguise.
When Liu Wuxie heard him speak of this skill, his eyes lit up. Traveling in disguise would be far more practical than relying on bamboo hats.
In the Immortal Slaughter Palace's territory, a single order to remove their hats would expose them instantly, but with a proper disguise, they could move freely.
People called this planet "Ancient Orchid Star," far removed from Laman Star. Yet even across such an immense distance, the Immortal Slaughter Palace's disciples still extended their reach here. Their influence was genuinely terrifying.
The great forces of the Astral Domain far surpassed those of the True Martial Continent. They carried lineages that spanned hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, and they built foundations that stretched across the entire Astral Domain.
He Yingwu began gathering materials, his hands moving with experienced precision. Fifteen minutes later, he completed two exquisite human-skin masks. Cool against the skin, they felt oddly pleasant despite their eerie nature.
When Liu Wuxie checked himself in a bronze mirror, a scholarly figure stared back at him. Beside him, He Yingwu appeared as an elderly attendant. Their faces and even their bearing had transformed beyond recognition.
Most disguise arts altered only appearance; changing a person's bearing was the actual challenge.
"I made ten in total," He Yingwu said. "We can change masks along the way to shake off the Immortal Slaughter Palace's pursuit. No traces will remain."
Once everything was prepared, they stepped out of the inner hall looking entirely different from when they had entered.
The shopkeeper blinked in surprise, and then he quickly regained composure. Disguise was natural for those carrying large sums of astral stones.
After bidding the shopkeeper farewell, they left the Three Mountain House. They found an inn to settle in, intending to first familiarize themselves with the Astral Domain before making further plans.
