Chapter 1017 Replacement

Meng Lanjun sat down beside Yun Xi with a sullen face and said:

"They have their own world here, an oasis city in the desert. The natives here are very xenophobic. A long time ago, every once in a while, cultivators like us would be sent here. However, after arriving here, their power was suppressed, just like ours."

Moreover, the longer you stay, the faster your own power will dissipate, and you will become like them. Even if your power dissipates, you, as a human cultivator, will have a longer lifespan than the natives here, while demon cultivators will reveal their true forms. In the end, my consciousness will also dissipate and I will turn back into my physical form.

In order to find a way out of this place in the shortest possible time, the cultivators who enter will kill each other and plunder all the resources on each other for their own use.

In the end, they actually found something useful: the royal palace of the Shatuo Kingdom had a way to leave, which is why the cultivators who entered chose to join the royal family. However, it seems that none of these people ultimately succeeded in getting what they wanted.

The men became slaves of the Shatuo Kingdom, and the women were forced to become the king's women, bearing his offspring. Cultivators, because they aged very slowly, were called the "ageless race," and even became food for the royal family who wanted to maintain their youth.

Meng Lan paused here, clearly disgusted by what she had just witnessed.

Yunxi hadn't expected that the Shatuo Kingdom was so hostile towards cultivators. The group of people they encountered had clearly guessed their identities. They were polite to them on the surface, but were very wary of them in private, and had even planned their future.

"Lan Jun, what is the way to leave this place?"

Menglan shook her head and said:

"They have no idea that the Shui family is just a small family in the Shatuo Kingdom. They know very little about the secrets of the royal family. They only know that if we are sent to the royal family, the family will benefit."

Yunxi continued to ask:

"How strong is the royal family's military force here?"

Menglan shook her head and said:

"I don't know, but they seem to be able to extract the essence from the sandworm's body. After consuming it, one's physique is no less than that of a cultivator. Moreover, the weapons made from the sandworm's teeth are very powerful. These weapons are controlled by the royal family and very few are available to ordinary people."

The royal family wouldn't have sold weapons to those families if it weren't for their desire to harvest more sandworms; even so, they strictly controlled the number of weapons that flowed out.

After listening, Yunxi stroked her chin and said:
"It seems that if we want to leave, we must join the royal family."

Meng Lanjun snorted coldly:

"To enter the royal family, one must either become a slave or be reduced to a breeding tool or food. I don't want to choose either."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
“I don’t want to join this way either, so let’s find another way.”

"how do you want to do it?"

“It’s just a small family. We can take its place. I killed the sandworms myself, so I can offer them to the royal family in exchange for the information we want.”

“Your idea is good, but right now our immortal energy is suppressed, so we can’t use the transformation technique at all. It’s a bit difficult.”

"I have a plan. Let's do this and then wait until we return to Shatuo City. The rest is up to us to see how things unfold."

Meng Lanjun looked at Yun Xi's face and finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, Shuiyuntan and her party continued their journey. It was clear that they were eager to return to the Shatuo Kingdom as soon as possible. However, things did not go as planned. The journey suddenly became difficult, and the group was attacked by various insects and beasts in the desert. The group was losing members.

This continued for two days in a row, and everyone's nerves were on edge. Shui Yuntan seemed to realize something and went to find Yunxi. "Ranxi, why aren't these insect beasts attacking you?"

The other party's tone was very unpleasant, even implying a question.

Yunxi calmly spread her hands and said:

“You said it yourself, we are from another world. Maybe they only eat you natives and can’t get our old bones to gnaw on. You know I’m two thousand years old, and your age is probably less than a fraction of mine, not to mention my friends.”

Shui Yuntan was speechless at Yunxi's words. She was genuinely surprised by Yunxi's self-disclosure of her age, as the other woman looked younger and more beautiful than her.

After Shui Yuntan left, Meng Lanjun came over:

“They’ve become suspicious; we’ll act tonight.”

"it is good."

When they set up camp again that night, Yunxi and Menglanjun chose a place a little further away from them. In the coldest part of the night, before they could even move, Shuiyuntan and her men quietly surrounded their tents.

Unfortunately, the tent was empty. Just as Shui Yuntan was filled with doubt and surprise, a strong fragrance of flowers wafted into their nostrils. Then they began to kill each other. In the end, the survivors rushed back to their own camp and killed their remaining companions.

For an entire night, screams and cries of agony echoed through the camp, along with splattered pale blue blood, turning the place into a living hell.

As the sky brightened again and the temperature slowly rose, Yunxi and Menglanjun arrived in front of the remaining three people: two men and one woman, all of whom looked at them with terror in their eyes.

The man questioned:
"We kindly led you away from the Green Desert, why did you try to harm us?"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
“We did nothing; it was you who were killing each other.”

"Bah! It was clearly you who attacked from the shadows, otherwise why would we attack our own people?"

The rest of her words were interrupted by Menglan-jun flicking a petal from her mouth.

The man suddenly started coughing, trying to spit out the food that had melted in his mouth, but to no avail. The other man and woman suffered the same fate, and the three of them quieted down after a while.

Yunxi then changed into Shuiyuntan's clothes, tapped her face twice, and in the next instant she transformed into Shuiyuntan.

Menglan Jun circled Yunxi once, making sure there were no flaws before speaking:

"No problem."

After speaking, he lingered on the other person's face for a couple more breaths, still quite interested. He could sense that Yunxi hadn't used any immortal energy to change her face; it seemed she had a mask that allowed her to change her appearance at will. He even suspected that the face she showed to others wasn't her true face.

This time, Menglanjun was right. When Yunxi was trapped in the core of the Forging Fire Secret Realm to learn weapon refining, she upgraded the grade of "Glazed Jade Face". In order to avoid the Wanqi family, she had already planned to change her face after leaving the secret realm.

However, when exchanging Hong Energy Blocks with "Star Trek", the other party recommended a nano disguise mask produced by Star Trek in order to obtain immortal plants. It is a common piece of equipment used by the military for disguise, infiltration and assassination. Yunxi was very interested in nano products, so she exchanged a Nebula Flower for it.

Upon entering the desert and noticing that her immortal energy was being suppressed, she stuffed all the equipment in her storage bracelet that did not require immortal energy to activate into the bracelet. The nano-disguise mask immediately replaced the "Jade Face," which was why she was confident in taking its place.

Menglan Jun instructed the three men to pack the corpses and place them on the camels. The group of five then pretended to be in a sorry state and fled back to Shatuo City.
