Shadow Hack

“Who?” Li Yunmu, who was pretending to be Lin Qingyang, asked in a deep voice with a hint of anger.

“Elder Brother Lin, it’s me. I heard that you returned and rushed over to see you.” A young woman’s concerned voice came from behind the door.

“I’m at a critical moment in cultivation so I won’t come out,” Li Yunmu said without thinking much about it. At the same time, the figure of a young woman with the surname Tingting and all the information related to her appeared in his mind.

Lu Tingting, that should be her?

Li Yunmu shook his head with a feeling of vexation. An had previously informed him about all the matters which he needed to pay attention when he substituted for Lin Qingyang. The only person whom he had to be cautious of was this Lu Tingting.

This was because she was the only person in Profound South Sect who had any contact with Lin Qingyang. She was infatuated with him and had been chasing him for the past three years without being discouraged by his refusals.

If she had been any other ordinary disciple, it would’ve been dealt with without any problem. However, the point was that this Lu Tingting was the daughter of the master of Profound South Sect. Because of that, even if the original Lin Qingyang was hatefully arrogant and possessed the first room in the twenty-first region, he was still unable to get rid of her.

The other party seemed to have understood the importance of Lin Qingyang being at a critical point in his cultivation because the knocking stopped. Li Yunmu didn’t care much about it and forgot about it.

Whatever happened, he was only going to stay around for two more days. After the inner sect competition, he would sneak into Origin God Sect, then why would he have to bother about some sect master’s daughter.

Time kept passing while he was in seclusion.

After two days, the entire Profound South Sect began to bustle with excitement. It looked as if the bitterly cold winter season had passed and all sorts of animals were coming out of hibernation.

Li Yunmu was also among them. He finally came out of his room and began to quickly walk toward the plaza on the main peak in large strides. All the inner disciples of all thirty-six residential regions of Profound South Sect were doing the same.

There were some disciples who had gone very far away while adventuring, but they had also hurried back. The inner sect competition might not have anything to do with them, but they still didn’t want to miss such an interesting day.

Apart from witnessing fights between the most powerful inner disciples of the sect, they would also have the opportunity to watch people from second tier or even first tier powers in action.

“Reporting, second tier sect, Flying Snow Mountain Sect has arrived.”

Li Yunmu had just arrived at the mountain peak when he heard an announcement being transferred from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

When he turned his head around to look, he saw a group of women wearing snow white clothes with just as white capes draped over them. The group of core disciples of Profound South Sect were enthusiastically welcoming them.

Flying Snow Mountain Sect had sent five people this time. Four of them were young beautiful women which instantly attracted the gazes of the majority of male disciples of Profound South Sect like a magnet.

In front of the newcomer group was a thirty year old, middle-aged, but still attractive woman. She was probably an important elder of Flying Snow Mountain Sect. In the area around her, there was a small domain which was up at all times. As she moved, the several meter area around filled with snow, even if it wasn’t snowing in Profound South Sect.

When Li Yunmu saw her from afar, his heart stopped for a moment. That woman was a sage flux expert. For the first time, he had seen a sage flux expert of the Origin World. He was slightly startled when he felt even colder when compared to when he had faced Battle Sage Vega.

This sort of sensation filled Li Yunmu with a pressure as well as excitement which spread through his whole body. The Origin World’s sage flux experts were truly too ferocious.

He could only sense that the woman was a sage flux expert. Although he couldn’t tell at which stage she was, it was certain that she wasn’t weaker than the quasi deities of Earth.

It has to be known that Battle Sage Vega could easily be considered as one of the most powerful quasi deities of Earth. Yet a second tier sect’s elder in the Origin World could easily stand on equal level with her.

At that instant, Li Yunmu finally understood the disparity of strength between the Origin World and the parallel planes. It was no wonder then that Underworld Serpent didn’t care about his identity as a descender.

However, this wasn’t important. When Li Yunmu’s attention gradually shifted to the four disciples standing on the side of the elder, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure.

Xie Qianxue…

Li Yunmu almost couldn’t stop himself from shouting out loud. At that moment, even if he had thousands of words, he still wouldn’t have been able to describe his shock. According to logic, he should’ve been rejoicing on seeing an old comrade from his homeland, especially in the case of Xie Qianxue. Although they weren’t the best of friends, she was one of the few people from whom he’d felt no malicious intent.

However, at that moment, Li Yunmu was impersonating Lin Qingyang and was afraid that she might expose him in front of everyone by accident.

And sure enough, what he was afraid of did happen.

Perhaps Li Yunmu’s astonished gaze was too conspicuous, for Xie Qianxue sensed someone watching her and slightly raised her chin, revealing a pair of cold eyes from beneath her snow white cape. When her gaze fell upon Li Yunmu, it stayed there. She looked at him with a questioning gaze, full of doubt, but slowly it turned to normal.

“Qianxue, what happened?”

The senses of the female elder moving with her were extremely sharp, and she instantly discovered that Xie Qianxue’s breathing had slightly fluctuated.

“It’s nothing. Just saw a childhood friend,” Xie Qianxue hurriedly answered.

“Haha, what a coincidence that we have encountered Qianxue’s childhood sweetheart.”

The other three disciples couldn’t help but tease her slightly.

Xie Qianxue was an extraordinary woman. She quickly removed the slight shock from her face and controlled her breathing while easily navigating through the teasing of her fellow disciples with a smile.

The elder from the Flying Snow Mountain Sect shot a gaze toward Li Yunmu, and he instantly felt as if his consciousness sea was about to explode. It filled to the brim with snow, which caused him to shiver uncontrollably.

Frightening! This is the strength of a sage flux expert?

Raging waves set off in Li Yunmu’s heart. If he hadn’t cultivated Infant Soul Preservation obtained from Ye Qing which strengthened his mortal soul and vitality until it far surpassed that of the ordinary people he would’ve definitely frozen from just that one gaze!

At that moment, Li Yunmu understood that the female elder’s strength surpassed that of Battle Sage Vega.

“Eh, your childhood friend isn’t simple.”

Seeing that Li Yunmu hadn’t frozen but had forcibly resisted, the female elder couldn’t help but feel surprised.

At that moment, the upper echelon of Profound South Sect who had finally learned that an elder of Flying Snow Mountain Sect had arrived unexpectedly sent the sect master as well as all the elders. The group of important people of Profound South Sect quickly made their way to welcome the newcomers.

The group of women including Xie Qianxue were like cranes in the flock of chicken. Under the fervent gazes of the disciples of Profound South Sect, they moved toward the main hall. The disparity between a third tier and a second tier sect was completely reflected at that moment.

There was a bitter smile on Li Yunmu’s face. Xie Qianxue was truly unfathomable and extremely fortunate.

On Earth, she had already possessed a three sun heavenly world.

After descending to the Origin World, she unexpectedly broke through the norm and successfully infiltrated a second tier sect unlike other descenders. Moreover, based on what happened, it seemed that her position in Flying Snow Mountain Sect wasn’t low either.

At that moment, Li Yunmu had a feeling that the inner sect competition wouldn’t go as smoothly as he had expected.

“Brother Qingyang, do you know someone from Flying Snow Mountain Sect?”

A soft and elegant voice entered Li Yunmu’s ears from behind. Its tone was one of familiarity, and Li Yunmu complained in his heart—Lu Tingting had come to find him once more.

“No I don’t,” Li Yunmu replied in a deep voice without turning his head. He had been told that this was how Lin Qingyang treated this troublesome woman.

All he hoped for then was that Lu Tingting wouldn’t recognize him. Perhaps he could trick others, but Lu Tingting was quite familiar with Lin Qingyang, so he didn’t have a lot of confidence in deceiving her.

It really seemed like the day had been cursed. Li Yunmu felt like he’d attracted the attention of the goddess of misfortune somehow.
