Chapter 686

Exactly one month after leaving Tianxiao Sect, the group of people finally set foot on the neutral territory of Tongxuan Continent.

The so-called neutral territory means that in this area, the human, demon, and demonic races coexist, which is a scene that cannot be seen in other places.

And as soon as he set foot here, Yang Kai noticed that there were unusual energy fluctuations flowing in the air.

There were traces of demonic energy that he was quite familiar with, and there was another kind of obscure energy that should be demonic qi. These demonic energy and demonic qi couldn’t be absorbed by human powerhouses, but they were the nutrients that the demons and demons needed to strengthen themselves.

After entering here, Cang Yan and the others became even more vigilant.

The neutral territory was more chaotic than anywhere else. A slight carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

After walking forward for several more days, the crowd finally saw a huge and majestic mountain peak that towered into the clouds.

Dozens of miles away from the foot of that mountain peak, there was a city, which was the destination of this trip for everyone, Floating Cloud City！

Cang Yan’s pace of leading the way accelerated a lot. Half a day later, the crowd arrived at Floating Cloud City.

After paying enough crystal stones, several people entered the city together.

Yang Kai clearly felt that Cang Yan and the others had relaxed their vigilance.

Du Wan smiled slightly and said, “Once inside the city, there won’t be too much danger. Floating Cloud City is jointly governed by the human, demon, and demon races. The city lord is a powerhouse at the Saint Stage. No one dares to be too presumptuous when they come here.”

Then which race is this city lord from？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.

“I’m not too sure. The city lord of Floating Cloud City is changed every three years. The powerhouses of the human, demon, and monster races determine the ownership of the city lord through a battle. It is precisely because of this method that the peace of this city can be guaranteed. If a certain race is allowed to grow too strong all the time, then the other two races would have long since had no place to live.”

Cang Yan smiled slightly and took over the conversation, saying, “As far as I know, the current city lord is a powerful demon. Don’t worry, it concerns the stability of the three races. He won’t mess around. If the neutral area is in chaos, then the entire continent will really be in chaos.”

“The old man and Mina are going to the Alchemist Association here. What about you, Cang Yan？” Du Wan asked. “Do you want to go with us？”

“We’d better forget it.” Cang Yan shook his head. Alchemists are all arrogant guys and won’t care whether they are from Tianxiao Sect or not. Entering the Alchemist Association, I’m afraid they will be looked down upon. With Cang Yan’s hot temper, he might even have a falling out with the Alchemist Association. At that time, it will be difficult for Old Du to do anything.”

Looking at Yang Kai, Cang Yan said, “Little nephew, if you want to go, you can go with Old Du. When the time comes, I will come to find you.”

Mina also said, “Yes, yes, you are an alchemist. There is no problem in being with us.”

She clearly wanted to be with Yang Kai and continue to learn the art of alchemy from him.

“Little girl is so direct. Do you like my little nephew？” Fei Yu covered her mouth and smiled charmingly, teasing.

Mina’s face flushed： “Don’t talk nonsense. I won’t like this bastard.”

Yang Kai was surprised and laughed, shaking his head and saying, “No, I’d better stay with several Martial Uncles.”

Du Wan gently nodded： “Then this old man won’t force you. Come here, Young Friend Yang.” As he spoke, he gently beckoned.

Yang Kai was puzzled and walked up： “What’s the matter, Old Man Du？”

Du Wan smiled slightly and stuffed a mirror box into his hand： “This thing was obtained by me in the early years. You should be able to use it this time. Well, it’s best to use it as soon as possible.”

“What is it？” Yang Kai looked at the mirror box in his hand suspiciously.

“You’ll know when the time comes.” Old Man Du smiled mysteriously and led Mina towards the direction of the Alchemist Association.

After Old Man Du left, Cang Yan said, “Let’s go. We’ll find an inn to stay in first.”

Fei Yu quietly approached Yang Kai’s side and asked softly, “What did Old Man Du give you？”

“I don’t know either.” Yang Kai shook his head.

In an inn, Cang Yan only got two upper rooms. Because of the upcoming blooming of the Thousand-Year Devil Flower, the inns in Floating Cloud City were full of guests. These two upper rooms were finally put together by the innkeeper with great difficulty.

After some discussion, it was decided that Fei Yu would take Yang Kai to live in one room, and the remaining three people would live in one room.

Yang Kai had no objection. Anyway, he was used to living with Fei Yu. Although Fei Yu was a woman, the difference in seniority was there, so Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t think too much about it.

After some busyness, everyone finally settled down.

Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged on the ground with the mirror box in his hand, and his expression was strange.

He didn’t expect that as soon as he entered this Floating Cloud City, Old Du would stuff such a thing into his hand.

“Open it and take a look. I’m also very curious about what treasure Old Du would give you.” Fei Yu smiled charmingly.

Yang Kai nodded and was about to open it when he suddenly smiled helplessly and said softly, “You guys might as well come over.”

In the adjacent room, Li Wan and Fei Jian, who were listening intently, had embarrassed expressions. Li Wan sniffed and said righteously, This little nephew really doesn’t give his any face. I’ll go over and teach him a lesson.

Fei Jian eagerly followed.

Cang Yan shook his head, a hint of helplessness emerging on his face, and could only follow.

In the room, everyone gathered and all looked at the mirror box in Yang Kai’s hand. Obviously, they all really wanted to know what was inside.

Under their gaze, Yang Kai opened the mirror box and took out a thing as thin as a cicada’s wing from it.

This thing was made of an unknown material. It felt cold to the touch, and there were several holes in some positions of this thing. At first glance, this thing was like a human face peeled off from a person’s face, eerie and terrifying.

“So that’s how it is！” Cang Yan’s expression changed slightly. “Elder Du is really as meticulous as a hair.”

“This is used to change one’s appearance, right？” Yang Kai also saw the function of this thing.

“Put it on and take a look.” Fei Yu urged.

Yang Kai nodded and covered his face with that thin human face gauze. The next moment, he felt as if there was something wriggling on his face, penetrating into his skin, icy cold and extremely comfortable.

He didn’t know what his current appearance had changed into, but from the expression changes of the four martial uncles in front of him, he could still infer that his change before and after must be very drastic.

“This…” Li Wan opened his mouth wide, looking completely incredulous.

Fei Jian also widened his eyes.

“Is the change that big？” Yang Kai sneered.

“Look for yourself！” Fei Yu beckoned and condensed a mirror of water in front of Yang Kai. Through that mirror, Yang Kai took a look and was instantly stunned.

The appearance presented in the mirror was simply that of a stranger, and it was completely different from his style, quite handsome, and his skin was as fair as a woman’s.

“Why is it a pretty boy？” Yang Kai had a black line on his face and reached out to pinch his face. The image in the mirror perfectly reflected this scene.

“Amazing！” Cang Yan couldn’t help but praise. “This secret treasure is really extraordinary. Not only did it change your appearance, but also your life aura！”

“With this, we don’t have to worry about exposing you.” Fei Yu smiled charmingly. “We really have to thank Old Du. I was still worried about this problem all the way.”

Since Yang Kai is going to the Wangtian Cliff to condense the liquid medicine of the Millennium Demon Flower, he will definitely be noticed by interested people. If he performs too outstandingly and is targeted, it will be bad instead.”

And the secret treasure given to him by Old Du perfectly solved this problem.”

Simple disguise techniques, Cang Yan and the others can also do, which is enough to change Yang Kai’s appearance. But this kind of disguise technique is still very easy to be seen through by powerhouses, and it can’t change Yang Kai’s life breath either.”

But now, they don’t have to worry.”

Even if Yang Kai performs eye-catchingly this time and is targeted, it doesn’t matter, because what the world sees is not Yang Kai himself.”

“Old Du really has a lot of good things.” Cang Yan sighed. Last time, the refining blue stone that could only be found in the starry sky was taken out, and this time it was such a disguise secret treasure with great functions. Alchemists are really a group of guys who are rich enough to rival a country.”

Especially high-level alchemists. If they want something, they don’t need to do it themselves at all. They just need to release a message, and immediately there will be warriors who ask them to refine pills to do it for them.”

Whether it is the refining blue stone or this secret treasure, they should all be the rewards that Old Du has obtained for helping people refine pills over the years.”

“Little nephew looks much more pleasing to the eye like this.” Fei Yu giggled mischievously. “Uncle just likes such a little white face.”

Although Yang Kai before wasn’t ugly, he wasn’t flawlessly handsome either. Years of hard work had given him a fierce and sturdy temperament. The more one looked at him, the more charming and heroic he seemed.

And now, he was truly so handsome that it shocked the world, and his beauty was a bit demonic. Such a countenance was enough to win the favor of any woman in the world.

Yang Kai’s expression was calm. After thinking for a while, he suddenly circulated his True Yuan and concentrated it on his face. The next moment, his face wriggled, and soon, his appearance changed slightly.

“This is perfect.” Looking at the mirror, Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction.

“Why did you change it? The previous look was so good. Although this one is also not bad, it’s still not as good as the previous one.” Fei Yu pouted.

“Flawlessness is the biggest flaw.” Yang Kai shook his head. “This look is more natural.”

Hearing him say this, Fei Yu also fell into thought. After a while, she nodded, agreeing with Yang Kai’s point of view.

“Alright, we must really thank Old Du another day. With the help of this thing, we can really go all out. Tomorrow, I will go to Wangtian Cliff with Liwan and Feijian to check the situation. The time is running out. I think many people will make such a choice. Checking the situation in advance will also help us make preparations. Fei Yu, you and Little Nephew will wait in the city and pay attention to protecting his safety. Although Fuyun City is relatively safe, it doesn’t mean there is no fighting.”

“I know that.” Fei Yu nodded seriously.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Yang Kai didn’t take off the secret treasure of disguising on his face, but kept it like this to get familiar with its performance.

As night fell, above the Floating Cloud City, an old man and a young man suddenly and strangely appeared. The old man had gray hair and looked very old. Beside him was a young man who seemed to be only in his early twenties, but his pair of eyes were extremely smart and curiously looked at the bustling Floating Cloud City.

The old man was also looking around. After a long while, a hint of bright light flashed in his pair of muddy eyes, as if he had fallen into memories and remained silent for a long time.
