Chapter 19: A Switch in Roles

The Holy Beast Qilin's spatial confinement only lasted for a fraction of a second for the Yasha Prince.

Not even a full second passed before he used the power of the Great Dao Golden Core to break free, shattering the Holy Beast Qilin's innate ability with overwhelming strength.

This was the suppression of realm and power.

If the Holy Beast Qilin had been at the Fourteen-Forbidden level, he would have been able to imprison the Yasha Prince for three seconds—maybe even four or five seconds if he had further comprehended the Space Dao.

But sadly, the Qilin had just reached the Twelve-Forbidden level, so holding the Fourteen-Forbidden Yasha Prince for a second was already impressive.

That one second was enough for Lin Jiufeng to kill him.

The "Life Scroll," a new Dao of the Human Realm that Lin Jiufeng had comprehended from the Book of the Skin Scholar, was incredibly powerful. It allowed him to imprint an enemy's entire life story, from childhood to death, on a single scroll.

The Yasha Prince, caught off guard, never expected Lin Jiufeng and the Holy Beast Qilin to cooperate so seamlessly, leading to his swift demise.

He could only scream in agony before everything ended.

The Holy Beast Qilin excitedly said, "Boss, our cooperation is incredible! We killed a Fourteen-Forbidden expert so easily!"

Lin Jiufeng smiled and replied, "This was our first time working together, so there were still some flaws. But as long as others don't know how we work together, the chances of success will be much higher. Your innate ability can imprison a Fourteen-Forbidden for less than a second. For a Fifteen-Forbidden, it would probably last only an instant. That's not invincible, but it's close."

The Holy Beast Qilin, staring at the floating Life Scroll, asked with curiosity, "Now that we've killed the Yasha Prince, what do we do next?"

"I specifically used the Life Scroll to imprint the Yasha Prince's life. With the Phoenix Concealment Technique, I can disguise him perfectly. We can definitely fool them," Lin Jiufeng said, explaining his plan.

"What if someone above Fifteen-Forbidden notices?" the Holy Beast Qilin worried.

"Don't worry. As long as we avoid detection, we'll be fine. The Cloud Dream Marsh is so vast. If we're cautious, even a Fifteen-Forbidden expert might not see through us as my cultivation increases," Lin Jiufeng reassured.

"Alright! This time, we can use the Yasha Prince's identity to stir up some chaos!" The Holy Beast Qilin was excited.

Lin Jiufeng nodded and absorbed the Life Scroll that contained the Yasha Prince's life.

Boom!!

In an instant, Lin Jiufeng felt like a bystander watching the Yasha Prince's brief life unfold.

There weren't many secrets in the Yasha Prince's life. Born into a strong family, both of his parents were high-ranking members of the Yasha clan, and he inherited great talent. He didn't waste any resources; from a young age, he was continuously provided with them and worked hard. By less than a hundred years old, he had already reached the Fourteen-Forbidden level of the Great Dao Golden Core.

The smooth and privileged life led to his arrogance. He looked down on those with lesser talent and disrespected those from poor backgrounds, preferring to associate with others of similar standing.

While viewing the Yasha Prince's life, Lin Jiufeng also discovered a hidden truth: The Yasha Prince relentlessly pursued Yue Xianzi because of her unique constitution, which could help him increase his cultivation.

It was rumored that the Five-Colored Dream Butterfly of the Dream Butterfly Clan had a special ability. She could sacrifice a portion of her origin to allow someone to enter a colorful dream realm, where numerous miraculous things happened. In ancient legends, some people achieved enlightenment and became saints, while others ascended to immortality or became deified in the mortal realm.

The Yasha Prince had this in mind, trying his best to please Yue Xianzi. Unfortunately, she had no interest in him whatsoever.

The more Lin Jiufeng understood, the more he was able to control the Yasha Prince's personality. At the same time, he began mimicking the Yasha Prince's aura.

After all, the aura of a Twelve-Forbidden and a Fourteen-Forbidden was completely different. Even though Lin Jiufeng could fight him, he was still at the Twelve-Forbidden level and couldn't fully project the aura of a Fourteen-Forbidden expert.

Thankfully, he had the Phoenix Concealment Technique.

Lin Jiufeng had never given up practicing this technique. During his time in the Holy Angel City, he devoted himself to it, and now, he was extremely proficient.

He could now simulate the aura of a Fourteen-Forbidden expert within his Twelve-Forbidden cultivation. After thoroughly understanding the Yasha Prince's life, Lin Jiufeng could control it perfectly.

After filtering through the Yasha Prince's life, Lin Jiufeng immediately used the Phoenix Concealment Technique on himself.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

His appearance rapidly changed. His skin darkened, his head became bald, and his face hollowed out, resembling a Yasha.

The Holy Beast Qilin stood beside him, shocked and shaking its head in disbelief. This time, Lin Jiufeng not only mimicked the Yasha Prince's appearance but also the aura of a Fourteen-Forbidden expert.

Soon, the dead Yasha Prince appeared, identical in every way, from his aura to his eyes.

The Holy Beast Qilin was amazed, saying, "Boss, this is amazing!"

"I studied the Yasha Prince's memories, which is why I could mimic him so perfectly," Lin Jiufeng replied.

"What about me?" the Holy Beast Qilin asked, curious. Now that Lin Jiufeng had taken the Yasha Prince's form, it didn't seem suitable for him to stay as the Yellow Dog.

Lin Jiufeng already had a plan. "I'll turn you into a weapon, keep you on me, and conceal you with the Phoenix Concealment Technique. No one will notice, and you'll be able to ambush them during battle."

"Great, I love ambushing!" The Holy Beast Qilin immediately agreed, clearly excited. It was beginning to enjoy tricking others, especially after awakening its innate abilities.

Lin Jiufeng once again used the Phoenix Concealment Technique, transforming the Holy Beast Qilin into a sword and storing it inside his body. Then, mimicking the Yasha Prince's cultivation aura, he took off.

On the way, he made small adjustments, gradually getting used to the Yasha Prince's style of action and speech.

They encountered some small Yashas along the way. As soon as they saw Lin Jiufeng, they immediately greeted him respectfully and admired him.

Lin Jiufeng, mimicking the Yasha Prince, ignored them and flew past them quickly.

The little Yashas thought nothing of it. In the Yasha clan, the strong devour the weak. If one day the Yasha Prince stopped to greet them or became overly friendly, they would start to worry and wonder if this was truly the same rebellious and proud Yasha Prince they knew.

"Boss, no one doubts you?" the Holy Beast Qilin asked in astonishment.

"Of course not. They can't see through my disguise," Lin Jiufeng replied.

Just as the Holy Beast Qilin was about to speak again, a shadow suddenly swooped in front of Lin Jiufeng.

As the figure landed, Lin Jiufeng saw clearly who it was.

It was the Little Shura King.

He looked at Lin Jiufeng flying alone and chuckled. "Did you take care of that reckless human kid?"

Lin Jiufeng, imitating the Yasha Prince's tone, sneered, "A brainless human dares to follow me? It's his honor to die by my hands."

"And what about that yellow dog?" the Little Shura King asked.

"I killed it casually," Lin Jiufeng said.

"Such a waste. That yellow dog looked delicious. We should have killed it and eaten its meat," the Little Shura King lamented.

The Holy Beast Qilin, disguised as a weapon, transmitted a message: "Boss, we must kill this ugly Shura. Always thinking about eating me—I'll smash a few of his teeth!"
