287: Chapter 287 Deceptive Imitation

With a plan in mind, Xiao Yuchen no longer hesitated and found Zhao Zicheng overnight. Because he was worried about a surprise attack from the Demon Race generals, Zhao Zicheng had not rested at all.

"Patriarch Zhao, the Demon General who infiltrated the Zhao Family has already been dealt with by me. I have thought of a way to rescue the Liu Family and the Feng Family, but it requires the cooperation of the core members of the Zhao Family."

"Young Master Xiao, you have rescued the Zhao Family once again. Just tell us how we need to cooperate."

Having experienced the incident with the Demon Race, Zhao Zicheng felt nothing but gratitude toward Xiao Yuchen. If not for Xiao Yuchen, the Zhao Family would have ended up like the Liu Family and the Feng Family, all becoming Demon Puppets, which would be a fate worse than death.

"The patriarchs of your Four Great Families should be able to contact each other, right?"

When they were in Xiyue Prefecture, Sect Master Hua Yuxi and the other Three Major Sects were able to communicate using sound transmission jade talismans; Zhao Zicheng and the others surely could as well.

"We can. We can communicate using sound transmission jade talismans."

Receiving an affirmative answer from Zhao Zicheng, Xiao Yuchen continued, "You contact the Deng Family patriarch. We will use a ruse to turn the tables. I will disguise myself as a Demon General, and the Zhao Family and Deng Family will disguise themselves as Demon Puppets."

"I will take you to rendezvous with the other two Demon Generals to catch them off guard. You find a way to awaken the people of the Feng Family and the Liu Family. It will be much simpler to deal with the two Demon Generals then."

"Young Master Xiao, although the intelligence of the Demon Race is indeed not as high as that of the Human Race, they are not truly mentally disabled. We can naturally disguise ourselves as Demon Puppets by simply acting naturally, but how will you disguise yourself as a Demon General?"

"Even if you can disguise your appearance to look like them, what about the Devilish Qi? Devilish Qi cannot be imitated at all, so this plan simply will not work."

Hearing these words from Zhao Zicheng, Xiao Yuchen did not explain. The muscles on his face shifted continuously, and he transformed directly into the appearance of that Demon General from the Deng Family. Of course, it was not just his appearance that changed; Devilish Qi actually began to overflow from Xiao Yuchen's entire body.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zicheng could not help but take a few steps back. The shock in his heart was unimaginable. If he hadn't seen that Demon General from the Deng Family being killed by Xiao Yuchen with his own eyes, he would have truly thought that the Demon General had returned.

"Young Master Xiao, how did you do that?" After being shocked for quite a while, Zhao Zicheng finally asked.

"I have my own clever ways. Just tell me if this will work or not?" Xiao Yuchen said with a smile.

"It will work, it will definitely work! It can absolutely pass as genuine. But what about the other Demon General?" Zhao Zicheng continued to ask.

Xiao Yuchen still did not answer. He conjured a Clone, and a white-clothed Xiao Yuchen appeared. Then, the white-clothed Xiao Yuchen transformed directly into the appearance of the other Demon General.

Earlier, Zhao Zicheng had been using his Divine Sense to watch the Zhao Family. When that Demon General infiltrated, he had noticed it, but before he could make a move, Xiao Yuchen had appeared before the Demon General and killed him instantly.

"This... how can there be two Young Master Xiaos? Could it be... a Clone?"

Zhao Zicheng was, after all, a powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; he had the experience. This situation could only be explained by a Clone.

"That's right, it is indeed one of my Clones. Now, do you think my plan is feasible?" Xiao Yuchen asked with a smile.

"It will work, absolutely feasible. With your people helping, the Zhao Family and the Deng Family can completely suppress the Liu Family and the Feng Family. It is just that those two Demon Generals will have to be left for Young Master Xiao to resolve," Zhao Zicheng replied.

"Rest assured, I have more than one Clone. My true body will act together with you all, and I will have the two Clones disguise themselves as the two Demon Generals."

"My Clones possess the same strength as my true body. I will have the Clones hold off the two Demon Generals first. Once the people of the Liu Family and the Feng Family are completely awakened, it will be much simpler to deal with the two Demon Generals then."

Hearing these words from Xiao Yuchen, Zhao Zicheng realized that he had underestimated Xiao Yuchen's strength. Two Clones with the same strength as the true body—did that not mean Xiao Yuchen could handle three Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts by himself? This was too terrifying.

Right now, Xiao Yuchen was only at the Late Mahayana Stage. If he were to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Stage in the future, would anyone in the entire Xuantian Continent be Xiao Yuchen's match?

To be a subordinate to such a person, what a glorious thing that would be. His Zhao Family was not unlucky; they had absolutely hit the jackpot to be the first to encounter Xiao Yuchen.

"Good, I will listen to Young Master Xiao. I will go and notify all the core members of the Zhao Family now to cooperate with Young Master Xiao's operation."

Leaving Zhao Zicheng's room, Xiao Yuchen found Li Yiran and the others. Although he had reached the Late Mahayana Stage, now was not the time to help Li Yiran and the others raise their cultivation levels; after all, they still had to fight the remaining two Demon Generals.

Xiao Yuchen told everyone about eliminating the Demon General, and then he entered the Taiji Space alone.

Arriving in the Taiji Space, Xiao Yuchen released the Primordial Spirit of that Demon General from the Deng Family from the god-devouring stele. Having regained his freedom, the Demon General immediately fled, but he realized something was wrong before he had run very far, because this place was definitely not the Xuantian Continent.

"You don't need to waste your effort. This is my independent space, and I can appear anywhere in this space instantly, so no matter how you run, it is impossible to escape from my grasp."

Hearing this, the Demon General gave up on the idea of escaping and floated not far from Xiao Yuchen. If he possessed a physical body, perhaps he could use the Law of Space to tear open space and escape, but now he could not do it at all.

"What exactly do you want? As long as you let me go, I will leave now, and I will never come to the Xuantian Continent again in the future," the Demon General promised, patting his chest.

"Do you think I am a child? Would I believe what you say?" Xiao Yuchen sneered.

"Then what exactly will it take for you to let me go?"

"Tell me where the location is for you to rendezvous with the other two Demon Generals?"

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the Demon General confirmed again.

"Impossible." Xiao Yuchen shook his head.

"Then why should I tell you?"

"You will tell me."

Xiao Yuchen grabbed with his left hand, and the Demon General's Primordial Spirit was caught in his grasp. He summoned Holy Fire in his right hand and then threw the Demon General's Primordial Spirit into the Holy Fire.

"The temperature of the Holy Fire is not high right now; you still have a chance. I will only give you five minutes. If you are still unwilling to speak after five minutes, then there will be no need for you to speak at all."

At this, the Demon General panicked completely. He had not expected Xiao Yuchen to be serious. If he were refined, he would have absolutely no chance left.

"Fine, I will speak. We agreed to rendezvous at the Death Canyon, one hundred kilometers north of the Heavenly Dao Sect. I have told you; hurry and withdraw the Holy Fire, I cannot take it anymore."

"No problem, you will not be in pain soon." After saying this, Xiao Yuchen instantly increased the temperature of the Holy Fire.

"Ah, damn it, you humans do not keep your word."

The Demon General screamed in pain; he finally realized he had been deceived.

"From beginning to end, I never promised to let you go. You answered my question, so I will give you a quick death; this can be considered a favor."

Although the Demon General was previously at the Mid Tribulation Transcending Stage, he was now nothing more than a Primordial Spirit. Under the burning of the Holy Fire, the Demon General's Primordial Spirit was quickly refined, turning into Primordial Spirit Origin.

"A Primordial Spirit Origin of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; I wonder what Rank it will allow my Soul to break through to."

In the past, Xiao Yuchen's Soul Power was always higher than his own Rank, but recently his strength had been constantly improving without having the opportunity to improve his Soul Power. Now, Xiao Yuchen's Soul Power and Rank were about the same.
