Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path-Chapter 712 - 559 White-Haired Ghost Mask + - 560 Shadow Pavilion_2

Chapter 712: Chapter 559 White-Haired Ghost Mask + Chapter 560 Shadow Pavilion_2

The logic is simple.

If the opponent has witnessed my cultivation and sword technique, they surely won’t dare to come as close to me again next time. With their guard up, escaping will be even easier.

Unless...

Zhou Ping’an’s eyes faintly glimmered, yet his face showed no hint of dejection.

"Did Your Excellency perceive anything else?"

"Hearing a name is not as good as seeing the face; meeting is even better than hearing the name."

The ghost-masked elder chuckled: "To say you’re as notable as the founder of the Xiao family from the Yu Kingdom a thousand years ago might be a stretch, but during this period of great catastrophe, there’s a considerable chance of making it big, if one can survive, right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Ping’an laughed lightly upon hearing this, not taking the ghost-masked elder’s intimidating words seriously.

Now, he was three parts convinced that the other party did not come with the intent to assassinate.

At first, they start with shocking statements to frighten, and after that, naturally, they have a request.

Of course, it might also be that this person realizes they can’t succeed and changes their attitude, seeking to bluff their way through.

Observe their actions, listen to their words.

Let’s hear what he has to say.

Although this person has already shown a powerful secret technique of teleportation, they could never imagine that a "Early True Martial" martial artist in the Void Form Realm could envelop a hundred miles within the Void Form.

Under the cover of feathered wings, if I really wanted to find him, it’s not impossible.

However, the True Kunpeng Form has not yet been refined into a Dharma form; if it can be kept hidden, then keep it hidden.

Zhou Ping’an isn’t trying to guard against anyone in particular; he’s just accustomed to playing it safe.

Only in a life-and-death crisis would he fully unleash the True Kunpeng Form.

Keeping a trump card hidden, ready to turn the tables at any time.

Zhou Ping’an doesn’t mind having a good talk with the ghost-masked elder who’s prepared to "bluff".

Truly, this person’s methods and secret techniques are astonishing.

In the Realm of True Martial, he could actually exchange blows with me, sword against knife, each sustaining injuries.

That’s quite extraordinary.

’Is he from the Pure World, Red Lotus Sect, Six Paths Reincarnation Sect, Prison Suppression Demon Subjugation Sect, or perhaps an assassin dispatched by the Imperial Court or the Demonic Barbarian side?’

"None of the above. I am Liang Tongfu. General Zhou, there’s no need to guess further about my identity, it’s pointless. I am not of this world, and no matter how much you guess, you will not arrive at the truth."

Liang Tongfu’s tone carried a bit more sincerity.

It seemed he knew the doubts in Zhou Ping’an’s heart and offered straightforward sincerity.

He reached up to remove the ghost mask on his head, revealing a clear and sharp face with flowing white hair, scholarly in appearance, just like a well-read scholar.

Perhaps it was because he had worn the mask for such a long time, his complexion was quite pale, as white as paper, not looking too healthy.

Chapter 560: Shadow Pavilion

*

"What I said before was not false. There’s nothing about my identity worth concealing. The Shadow Pavilion spans the heavens, its business covering countless worlds; there’s nothing shameful to hide."

Liang Tongfu clucked his tongue, laughing: "As an Observer, my principle is only to observe, and not to take on tasks. General Zhou doesn’t need to be so defensively vigilant, nor should you see me as an enemy. On the contrary, we could collaborate..."

"To show my sincerity, I’ll give you a piece of information in advance that might resolve your predicament."

Without waiting for Zhou Ping’an to ask further,

Liang Tongfu flicked his wide sleeves and tossed a gleaming object towards him.

From afar, Zhou Ping’an could see that it was a jade tablet.

The jade was of a light yellow hue, shining with a gentle and warm glow.

He didn’t reach out to catch it, and only after detecting it with his Sword Intent did he wrap it and hold it in his hand.

Liang Tongfu didn’t need to say anything more.

With just a light sensing of his spirit, Zhou Ping’an understood the function of this object.

"It’s a communication tool?"

He extended a trace of spiritual power into it and saw two messages, highlighted and flashing at the top.

One message read:

’The Shadow Pavilion undertakes the task of eliminating the Son of Destiny in the Yu Fang Bingchen 79 World, Xiao Yundu, Cui Shicheng, Zhang Dongliu, Zhou Ping’an...’

This message listed a total of six names.

Clearly, Zhou Ping’an’s name was among them.

He abruptly looked up, with faint traces of killing intent in his eyes, towards Liang Tongfu not far away, this person hasn’t spoken a single truth, has he? The assassination task is already listed on the jade tablet, yet he continues to claim no ill intentions.

"It really is devoid of malice, General Zhou, look again. Has there been a change now that you have received this Shadow Record?"

Zhou Ping’an looked down once more.

He noticed that his own name among the previous six was slowly fading away, as if an invisible eraser was gently rubbing his name off.

Only five names remained.

’Interesting.’

Zhou Ping’an then looked below, where there was another message highlighted in red: "The seventh team of mercenaries, known as Wind from Reincarnation Hall, has taken on the task of assassinating Zhou Ping’an. For details on the reward and inside information, please contact Fang Chuqing at the Phoenix Platform in this world."

Beyond the two highlighted red messages,

there were dozens more.

Some names he had no recollection of.

And some sentences, though he read them clearly, he did not understand.

For instance: "The Son of Changtian from Qiu Luo’s Five Realms earnestly summons heroes from all sides for a grand undertaking, with a reward of three Mixed Element Pills."

What are Qiu Luo’s Five Realms? What is the Son of Changtian, and what is a Mixed Element Pill? Zhou Ping’an had never even heard of them.

What exactly they wanted to do was also unknown.

But at least Zhou Ping’an understood one thing.

The meaning behind Liang Tongfu giving him this jade tablet.

"Mr. Liang, this is quite an open scheme. Aren’t you worried that I, Mr. Zhou, might reject this Shadow Record?"
