Chapter 614: Shadowless Immortal Robes – Allies Take Action
Shen Mo moved like lightning, darting through the sky.
Behind him, two graceful figures were in hot pursuit.
He had known from the start that Yin Zanghua had sensed the presence of the golden page on him.
Now that the grand auction had come to a halt, and Shi Tianhao had stolen the Crimson Sun Scripture in the chaos,
Yin Zanghua would certainly go after Shi Tianhao, the four Vajra Corpse Puppets would be left to entangle Yue Xinglou, and the task of hunting him down would fall to Chen Yu and Luo Yan.
Everything was unfolding exactly as he had foreseen.
On the ground, Liu Yuntian and Zhang Changheng watched Shen Mo being chased, scratching their heads in anxiety.
“What’s going on? Why is the Profound Yin Grotto targeting Daoist Shen?” Zhang Changheng frowned deeply.
Liu Yuntian shook his head. “I don't know, but neither of us dares make a move against the Profound Yin Grotto.”
Just then, Wei Jincheng, drenched in blood, emerged from who-knows-where. With a creepy cackle, he said, “Simple. Just don’t reveal who we are.”
“If we help delay them a moment, that’s enough to fulfill our duty as friends.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhang Changheng raised an eyebrow.
“Just paid a brief visit to some old friends from the Bloodsun Sword Sect—and sent them to meet the King of Hell.” Wei Jincheng grinned, revealing a row of large white teeth.
Liu Yuntian raised his brow as well.
They hadn’t expected Wei Jincheng to be from the Bloodsun Sword Sect of the Taiping Sea Region.
And now he dared to take this chance to get revenge.
“This item is called the Shadowless Immortal Robe. It can completely mask our presence and alter our voice and appearance.”
“Once we put it on, then we strike.”
Wei Jincheng tossed out three robes as thin as gossamer.
Liu Yuntian and Zhang Changheng were both startled.
Wei Jincheng chuckled. “Barely counts as a peak Heaven-grade spirit artifact.”
“Snatched it off a few junior disciples of the Bloodsun Sword Sect. Don’t worry—they don’t know it was me.”
Liu Yuntian and Zhang Changheng exchanged meaningful looks with Wei Jincheng.
And felt fortunate that they were allies, not enemies.
The three donned the Shadowless Immortal Robes.
Liu Yuntian looked at Zhang Changheng and immediately saw a refined gentleman in flowing white robes.
Zhang Changheng looked at Liu Yuntian and saw a burly, bald-headed warrior.
As for Wei Jincheng, the two of them now saw him as a delicate, flower-like young lady.
“Let’s go lend Daoist Shen a hand!”
The three exchanged a look and soared into the sky.
“Little gentleman, don’t run. You must have something precious on you to even attract the attention of Cave Master Yin.” Chen Yu giggled.
“That’s right. As long as you stop running, we’ll let you do anything you want to us,” Luo Yan added with a soft laugh.
Shen Mo remained expressionless.
As they spoke, the two women were secretly using a soul-capturing technique.
Those with weak wills might fall under their charm just from listening, their bodies and minds surrendered completely.
But Shen Mo remained completely unmoved.
After glancing over their life panels, he was reminded of something.
Chen Yu and Luo Yan were placed at Yin Zanghua’s side by the second cave master of the Profound Yin Grotto to act as spies.
Yin Zanghua had long intended to use Yue Xinglou’s hand to get rid of the two of them.
But earlier in the battle, the two had been clever, never venturing too close to the frontlines.
He might be able to use this matter to his advantage.
From what he knew, the divine imprint on the golden page was not something that could be easily removed.
Even if Yin Zanghua didn’t come after him, other cave masters eventually would.
At that point, he’d be facing even more formidable foes.
Instead of letting that happen, perhaps he could find a chance to reconcile with Yin Zanghua.
Chen Yu and Luo Yan would make perfect bargaining chips.
Chen Yu and Luo Yan were both quite surprised.
The Soul-Dissolving Grand Art they cultivated was especially effective against male cultivators.
Even among the men of the Profound Yin Grotto, few could resist it.
But who was this man, and what technique had he trained in, to remain completely unaffected by their charm?
Just then, several beams of light suddenly shot up into the sky, blasting toward Chen Yu and Luo Yan.
The two women quickly dodged and looked suspiciously at the three newcomers.
“The Profound Yin Grotto is conducting official business! Outsiders, stay out of it!” Luo Yan barked coldly in warning.
The bald-headed man at the front laughed, “I just can’t stand the Profound Yin Grotto! Brothers, let’s get 'em!”
Behind him, the elegant white-robed gentleman lightly shook his folding fan and smiled, “This one surnamed Bai has always loved standing up for justice. Seeing a demonic sect like the Profound Yin Grotto hunting down fellow cultivators—how could I sit idly by?”
Then the soft-spoken young female cultivator fluttered her eyes and cast a glance toward Shen Mo. “Little darling, if we save your life, would you accompany me for a night of dual cultivation?”
The bald man and the white-robed youth both froze, smacking their lips awkwardly.
Shen Mo was also stunned.
He thought to himself—he didn’t even know these people.
Why would they suddenly appear to help him?
It wasn’t until he read the three figures’ life panels that he finally gasped inwardly.
They were actually Zhang Changheng, Liu Yuntian, and Wei Jincheng!
For some reason, their appearances had completely changed, their auras completely concealed.
Especially Wei Jincheng—his performance was so vivid, he was practically indistinguishable from a genuine female cultivator adept in dual cultivation techniques.
Thinking it over, Shen Mo roughly guessed what had happened.
He had long heard of a treasure from the Bloodsun Sword Sect called the Shadowless Immortal Robe.
This treasure was the ultimate choice for assassinations, ambushes, and theft.
However, crafting it was extremely difficult.
Each robe could only be used three times before being destroyed.
This limitation made large-scale production impossible.
Otherwise, with the Bloodsun Sword Sect’s power and aggressiveness—combined with such a stealthy, lethal tool—they might have already conquered the neighboring Falling Star and Thunderfury Seas.
Warmth rose in Shen Mo’s heart.
These were the kind of people worth befriending.
Seeing a friend in danger, they didn’t hesitate—donning the Shadowless Immortal Robe and stepping in.
Seeing the situation, Shen Mo decided to play along.
He spoke with a grateful expression, “Many thanks, fellow Daoists!”
Then he turned to Wei Jincheng with an awkward look. “As for dual cultivation... no need. I already have a partner.”
Wei Jincheng put on a look of disappointment. “Pity, what a pity.”
“Let’s do it, brothers!” Zhang Changheng laughed, surging his spiritual power and blasting out a giant palm strike.
Liu Yuntian followed suit, using only martial techniques rather than manifesting his spiritual image.
This reduced their attack power significantly.
But it was enough to cause Chen Yu and Luo Yan some trouble and slow their pursuit of Shen Mo.
The two women were furious but had no choice but to defend.
Moments later, Zhang Changheng gave a strange laugh. “Let’s go, let’s go!”
In the blink of an eye, the three vanished without a trace.
Chen Yu and Luo Yan turned around—
Shen Mo was also gone!
“Damn it! Those four are probably in league! Those three were clearly stalling us on purpose!” Chen Yu gnashed her teeth.
“Keep chasing him. He’s very likely carrying that golden page. Back inside the Treasure Pavilion, Yin Zanghua gave a particular glance at the Heaven-Rank booth he was in,” Luo Yan said in a low voice.
Chen Yu took a deep breath. “Alright. Let’s go!”
Spiritual power surged beneath their feet as the two shot off like arrows released from the bowstring.
Wherever they passed, the surface of the sea exploded into long, narrow trenches—refusing to close for a long time.
