"This is the Nether Soul Stone."
"The Family Head shouldn’t need this. Why would you need this for capturing a thief? Did Young Master Qin Ming really hear the Family Head ask for it?"
The Great Elder’s eyes shimred with a hint of suspicion. This gold stone is sothing that only forms at the other end of the passage, and it is only useful in the depths of the endless starry sky of the Universe. At this mont, it was just a matter of rooting out an internal mole within the clan, so why would this be necessary?
"Are all these stones on the shelf used for the other side of the passage?"
Li Xiaobai looked at the other stones and asked.
"Yes, why are you asking?"
The Great Elder blurted out, not understanding why the other party was asking this.
But the scene that followed made him instantly understand.
Young Master Qin Ming suddenly waved his hands, and all the stones on the shelf disappeared, taken by him into his bag.
Then, his figure flickered, and he dashed out the way he ca.
"This..."
"You’re not Young Master Qin Ming!"
"Who are you? What did you do to Young Master Qin Ming?"
The Great Elder’s face was shocked. It was only at this mont that he discovered sothing amiss. The talisman that "Qin Ming" revealed in his hands was sothing he had never seen before, and it certainly wasn’t a Qin Family item. This person was not Qin Ming, but an imposter!
This fellow had spoken so much with him earlier and had even corroborated identities with each other just to make him lower his guard. As soon as he infiltrated this Underground World, he couldn’t wait to expose his true nature!
"Exchange Charm!"
Li Xiaobai produced a talisman, activating it and sticking it on himself. Golden light flashed, and his figure began to swap with a certain stone from the outside world. But just at the mont of exchange...
A pair of skeletal hands pierced through his chest, and the crimson heart burst out, easily crushed by that hand.
"How bold, infiltrating my Qin Family’s residence, and even deceiving this old man, die!"
The Great Elder’s face twisted, filled with malice, he spoke sinisterly.
Compared to his earlier amiable appearance, he seed like a completely different person.
But the expected blood did not flow. After the imposter "Qin Ming" was pierced through the chest, instead of turning into a corpse, he transford into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated into the heavens and earth.
"This is... an External Incarnation!"
"To disguise as Young Master Qin Ming with an External Incarnation and even fool this old man... The real body must possess such profound cultivation, it’s simply unimaginable!"
"This matter needs to be reported to the Family Head as soon as possible for him to decide."
The Great Elder’s eyes revealed a look of shock. With the External Incarnation killed and the things taken not dropped, he suspected that the other party must have so kind of Small World within his body, shared between the main body and the clone.
He searched around the underground level to make sure there was no issue, only then did he leave the place.
But what he didn’t know was that early on, when the imposter appeared in the Underground World, a figure had silently slipped into the colorful vortex.
Outside, in a certain area.
Li Xiaobai had hidden himself early on, there was no way he would personally take risks, the system’s clone was ant for that.
This twist cost him two clones, consuming two million top-grade rare earth resources, but the gains were enormous. Not only did he clean out that unknown mineral deposit, but he also invaded the spatial vortex with another clone.
In doing so, he could effortlessly gather information about another world.
The only slight drawback was the ti was tight, he only had ti to send one clone. If he had sent more, the survival rate of the clone at the other end of the passage would have greatly increased.
With a thought, the genuine Qin Ming, imprisoned in Extre Evil Pure Land, was released.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I supposed to do?"
Qin Ming was completely confused, having no idea what happened outside. He only rembered watching a martial arts contest on the platform, then there was nothing.
He quickly realized he was at the Qin Family’s residence, near the Scripture Pavilion.
Behind him was empty, not even a shadow of a cultivator.
Who kidnapped him?
And why was he left here? It was simply baffling.
"I should head back to the mansion to rest for a mont. The contest on the platform must be over by now, I’ll ask the Family Head about it later."
Qin Ming was still terrified, wobbling as he walked towards his residence.
But at the next mont, he heard a shout: "Everyone, capture Qin Ming. If he resists, kill him without rcy!"
"This is... the Family Head’s voice!"
"What happened? What did I do wrong? Why are they trying to capture !"
Qin Ming froze for a mont, then turned and ran without another word. Although he didn’t know what happened, he could sense several powerful auras skyrocketing within the Qin Family, and they were coming for him.
At this mont, in a certain corner.
Li Xiaobai was hiding in the bushes. He cleared his throat and transford into the appearance of a young woman, none other than the woman he had encountered earlier, the sister of Qin Xiufang, who had flaunted herself at him.
This woman was Qin Yi, the typical big-breasted and brainless type, very easy to impersonate. The genuine article need not be ntioned, as she was already in his collection within the Extre Evil Pure Land.
"In the remaining days, just hide in the boudoir."
Li Xiaobai donned the woman’s clothes, pinched his throat, and spoke in a sharp, high-pitched voice.
It wasn’t his first ti cross-dressing; he was rather skilled in the business.
He moved with a sway, sticking out his butt as he walked back to his residence.
It must be said, won’s clothing was troubleso. From the outside, it seed quite revealing, but it wasn’t as easy as it looked when wearing it himself. Layers upon layers, enough to wrap himself up like a zongzi, yet sohow still managed to accentuate a perfect figure, truly not easy.
His mind sank into the System, and he imdiately inquired about the status of his clone as Li Xiaobai.
[I am not Li Xiaobai: Safely landed on a small asteroid, no signs of life present, currently figuring out how to reach the next star.]
The clone sent back an image.
It was a gray and white world, barren as far as the eye could see, the ground pitted and without vegetation, water, food, or life. Gazing upward revealed a limitless expanse of black space.
This was the starry sky of the Universe, and this star was so small, small enough that a jump could send him into space.
But he knew he couldn’t do that. No one could endure that endless loneliness and darkness, needing to find another way to contact a life form.
"The passage does exist, it’s just that I have no understanding of the world at the end of it."
Li Xiaobai thought to himself, feeling that where the clone was might be the real world, while the Immortal Gods Realm he was in, and even this star, were nothing more than dust and sand in the vast and boundless Universe.
"Bang bang bang!"
The door was knocked, pulling him from his thoughts by a man’s voice outside.
"Yi’er, it was so hard to wait till dusk; can I co in?"
Li Xiaobai frowned slightly, pinched his nose, and emitted a sharp voice: "You may co in. Yi’er has been waiting for you for a long ti."
