60: I'm Xu Xi, I want to ntr myself...

Since it was said, it must be done.

Bai Luo gave him everything, so Xu Xi couldn't just renege on the deal.

What's more, the reward Bai Luo revealed was good enough; there was only one reward, but it was enough to make Xu Xi incredibly eager.

"Special Skill — Thousand Illusions."

"Upon use, the host can transform into any character directly touched, with identical appearance and aura."

"Even combat will not dispel this effect, unless the host actively deactivates it."

"Skill Cooldown — half an hour."

A skill that was enough to drive Xu Xi wild.

Disguise techniques are an indispensable skill for any novel's protagonist.

Xu Xi had performed many disguises before, but none were very good; a familiar person could recognize him at a glance.

Even if someone thoroughly investigated Xu Xi's background, they could easily see through his disguise.

Now, the arrival of this disguise technique gave Xu Xi an excellent skill for hiding his identity.

This was something essential for those who commit murder and arson for profit.

What's more, if this thing were used in other ways, Xu Xi felt it would offer a different kind of thrill.

"My darling Xue Qing would definitely love this thing!"

"Heheheh~"

"I must try it with her many times. Whose appearance should I use first..."

For some reason, Xu Xi always seemed to want to misuse the skill; the art of disguise could actually be used in "combat"!

It must be said, Xu Xi was truly a genius.

He could even cuckold himself.

While thinking, Xu Xi sped past, passing many small towns. Although he tried to interact with some women, without exception, he still couldn't trigger the system's mechanism.

Xu Xi had good reason to suspect that the system had its own ideas... Half a day passed in a flash, and Xu Xi only lingered so long because he was interacting with multiple women.

Otherwise, Xu Xi would have arrived at Tingfeng Valley much earlier.

Looking around Tingfeng Valley, barren rock walls stood tall, incredibly desolate, completely different from the prosperous lands Xu Xi had seen before.

"It seems even more desolate than before. I haven't been here for many years; has it really become like this...?"

Standing on the Gobi Desert, overlooking the vast desolation, Xu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

As a region under the jurisdiction of Xuanjian Sect, Xu Xi had visited Tingfeng Valley before.

However, the current Tingfeng Valley was not like the one in Xu Xi's memory.

"Forget it, this isn't for me to consider. I'll go directly to Thin Horse Gate to get the person."

"The former leader of Thin Horse Gate and I once met; I wonder if he still recognizes me."

Muttering to himself, after his lament, Xu Xi didn't have much time for sentimental musings. This was not a situation he could change.

He then set off again. Inside Tingfeng Valley, the path wound, and yellow sand swirled.

Chilling gusts of wind constantly brushed Xu Xi's face, rustling.

Occasionally, he would even swallow mouthfuls of irritating yellow sand.

The strong winds left Xu Xi in a sorry state. This damned weather—unless he reached Ru Xuan and could take flight on the spot, he would still have to suffer.

After several twists and turns, Xu Xi finally arrived in front of Thin Horse Gate.

"Who are you?"

"This is Thin Horse Gate's territory! Daring to trespass, you won't get off easy!"

Upon stepping into Thin Horse Gate's territory, he looked around and still saw a desolate Gobi Desert. He wondered how the people of Thin Horse Gate endured it.

With no cover, the barren rock walls couldn't conceal Xu Xi's figure, and his obvious movements were immediately discovered by members of the Thin Horse Gate gang.

Under loud shouts, the patrolling disciples of Thin Horse Gate advanced with fierce expressions, their tightly clutched weapons all indicating their unruly and violent nature.

"Already preparing to fight?"

"They're not like the Thin Horse Gate gang members I've seen before."

"Shouldn't they simply ask what I'm doing?"

"Could it be that their personalities have drastically changed in these few years?"

A doubt arose in his mind; Xu Xi truly hadn't expected the current Thin Horse Gate to become so unbearable.

However, since the other party wasn't giving him a good face, Xu Xi wouldn't humor them either.

From his storage bag, he pulled out a metallic token. On it, the golden lacquer reflected the gleaming words "Personal Disciple."

He slammed the token hard onto the face of a Thin Horse Gate gang disciple.

"Crack!"

A crisp, pleasant sound echoed. Xu Xi's movements were swift, not giving those people time to react.

Instantly, the cheek struck by the token turned red, burning with pain.

And this pain made those Thin Horse Gate disciples realize that Xu Xi was not someone to be trifled with, and his identity was not simple.

They hastily picked up the token that had fallen to the ground, then their gaze shifted, discovering it was actually a Xuanjian Sect Personal Disciple token. Their expressions immediately turned to panic.

Everyone in Thin Horse Gate knew that their direct sect was Xuanjian Sect. Although the Xuanjian Sect leader, Ye Liufeng, had died unexpectedly, it was not something a small Thin Horse Gate could provoke.

Even if the thought of defecting to another sect arose in their hearts, it was merely a thought. Now that a Personal Disciple of the opposing sect had come knocking, it would surely cause another uproar.

Moreover, those Thin Horse Gate disciples just now hadn't given Xu Xi a good face.

"This... this..."

"I... I..."

"We didn't know it was a Xuanjian Sect Personal Disciple gracing us with his presence! It's all our fault, we apologize to you right away!"

"Why aren't you kneeling quickly? Slap yourselves!"

His eyes darted around, and once his mind cleared, the Thin Horse Gate disciple who had led the charge to attack Xu Xi immediately dropped to his knees.

His originally fierce and violent eyes became incredibly clear, like an imbecile's.

Then, he alternately slapped himself hard on both cheeks, making loud smacking sounds that were no quieter than when Xu Xi's token had struck his face just now.

Immediately afterward, the other Thin Horse Gate disciples, seeing their leader's actions, quickly followed suit.

In an instant, the originally silent desert was filled with "smack, smack, smack" sounds.

Anyone unaware might have thought someone was filming some exciting male and female action movie.

"Hmm, it's nothing. It's good that you know your mistake."

"Seeing your sincere attitude in admitting your error, I'll let you off this time. Take me to see your leader."

"I'm here to demand an explanation this time. You'd best pray you can give me a reasonable one."

A few hints of killing intent flashed in his cold eyes.

Regarding the current Thin Horse Gate, Xu Xi saw no trace of its past; it was as if Thin Horse Gate had undergone a complete transformation.

Just from these few disciples, Xu Xi sensed a different aura, tinged with a hint of death, completely unlike the aura a cultivator in their prime should possess—it was very abnormal.

And then he remembered that they dared to capture the relatives of a Xuanjian Sect disciple, which made it even more suspicious.

Not only was it like a dragon king's temple being flooded by a great river, but if the disciples of Xuanjian Sect's Law Enforcement Peak found out, wouldn't that be the end of it?
