Looks like he is disguised as one of the guards.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan immediately understood what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng was employing one of the oldest tricks in existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding in plain sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of fleeing far away after destroying the Quan Clan, he had remained here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blending into the group of guards investigating the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he would do such a thing-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan could easily think of two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first possibility was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many killers liked to return to the scene of their crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To watch the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see the chaos they had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To relish the destruction with their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second reason was more practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng might be checking the scene carefully to make sure no evidence or traces of his actions remained behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former Supreme Immortal, he would naturally be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, both possibilities pointed toward the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng was confident that no one could discover his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confident that even if he stood right here among the Imperial Guards, no one\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would suspect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for him-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan possessed the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the Heaven Chosen's Tracker, hiding was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan's lips curved slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Shall we play along?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of immediately exposing him, Bai Zihan began walking slowly across the ruined estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Sun Yaoqing and Mingzhu followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements appeared casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was simply examining the destruction like everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan gradually approached the group of Imperial Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards themselves immediately noticed his approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions stiffened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the young man walking toward them was someone whose reputation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had already spread across empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they respectfully bowed their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Young Master Bai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Bai Zihan barely paid attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calm gaze slowly swept across the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze stayed on Chong Sheng for a second longer than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Did he discover me?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng nervously thought but breathed in relief when Bai Zihan walked\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>False alarm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was expertly controlling his Qi, so there was no way for anyone\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to think he was a Demonic Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had changed his face to that of a middle-aged man with an\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>average appearance that wouldn't attract any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way that anyone could find him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a bit nervous when he discovered that Bai Zihan had come to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>investigate what he had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know what kind of ill-fated relationship he had with Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he made a scene, Bai Zihan somehow appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But well, he didn't think much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even know that Bai Zihan was the one who had subtly exposed him as\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a Demonic Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have gotten revenge on him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he only thought of Bai Zihan as a dangerous and very talented\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too had heard about Bai Zihan's feats whenever he stayed in towns or cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his perspective as well, Bai Zihan's growth was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected that Bai Zihan might be like him-someone who possessed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>another body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was most unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened to him was unbelievable, and he refused to believe there could be more than two such incidents in the same period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyways, while he, with his current strength, wasn't scared of Bai Zihan, he definitely knew to be cautious around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Empress Sun Yaoqing came into his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he contemplated whether he should kill her or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing her would throw the Empire into chaos, exactly the kind of scene that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps after seeing her face-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know why, but it felt like rather than killing her, he should help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Hmmm... I am a pretty nice guy!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself after refraining from killing the Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyways, Bai Zihan, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>walked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stopped just before Chong Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Did I get exposed?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan hadn't noticed anything wrong the first time, and it was impossible to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>do so now as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chong Sheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Sheng was startled and immediately became cautious, ready to take out\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his weapon and fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zihan's next words left him speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That M*therF*cker! How cruel can he be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn't even spare children and women. Is there no morality just because he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is a Demonic Cultivator?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To many others, Bai Zihan's words were normal and even expected of a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>righteous man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Princess Sun Yaoqing found it slightly unexpected, she didn't think\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how high his status was, Bai Zihan was still human in the end, and it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was natural to be angry at such an outrageous scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That coward, only going after weak people and running away with his tail\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>between his legs.
