A person dressed in the attire of the Abyssal Clan, holding a small fan, flew towards the direction of the Abyssal Clan's army. This was Qin Ning disguised as an Abyssal person.
After learning the transformation technique, Qin Ning glanced at the Abyssal person and immediately thought of the shortcomings of the Spirit Control Technique. With his current cultivation level not being high, if he took this young Abyssal person into the Abyssal Clan, he would likely be exposed right away. Therefore, he could only enter the Abyssal Clan in another way.
In the cultivation world, there were soul lamps. If this young man were killed, the soul lamp would likely go out, which would also draw the attention of the other side.
Qin Ning did not know if this young man's family had a soul lamp for him. Killing this young man was definitely not an option. If he wanted to use his identity, this person could not die for the time being.
Therefore, Qin Ning's method was to seal this Abyssal person in a cave, then probe the young man's consciousness and transform into his appearance to head towards the Abyssal Clan.
Cultivators would not die if they were sealed and buried underground. Qin Ning did not use any formations or similar things to cover it; he simply buried him deep underground. Under normal circumstances, no one would discover this young man.
Qin Ning did not feel any psychological pressure doing this. After reviewing the young man's memories, Qin Ning saw that he had done countless evil deeds, and killing him would not be excessive.
Wu Wei!
His new identity's name was Wu Wei, a descendant of a noble family in the Abyss. This time, the family had sent him to the army to gain experience.
What was strange was that some of the young man's family consciousness was sealed, and he could not unlock it. After some thought, to be safe, Qin Ning integrated those sealed consciousness into his own mind. Only in this way, even if the other side discovered something amiss and unsealed it, could he deceive them.
After further consideration of the sealing situation, Qin Ning also understood. The family members, upon arriving at the army, were probably worried that their consciousness might be probed by experts, so they sealed some key family information. In this way, even if someone captured him, they would not obtain the family's information.
This time, Qin Ning was more cautious. He even stripped the young man naked and replicated every small part of his body until he was completely identical to the person, then he finally relaxed.
The Spirit Control Technique had another method: after integrating the other person's consciousness into his own, as long as he had a few months, the other person's information would transfer to his body. At that time, the soul lamp would no longer show the original body but Qin Ning's current body.
For Qin Ning, these few months were crucial. After these few months, there would be no major issues.
While flying, Qin Ning continuously practiced Wu Wei's cultivation techniques.
The integration of consciousness had some benefits, as he could also learn the other person's cultivation content. Now, for Qin Ning, the only issue with the other person's techniques was familiarity.
While familiarizing himself with Wu Wei's cultivation techniques, he also marveled at the power of the mysterious person's transformation technique. It was truly too strong; after using it, no one could discover his fake identity unless he revealed it himself.
"Wu Wei, what happened to you?"
A huge military camp was in front of him, filled with a killing aura that permeated the sky.
Looking at the entire camp, various formations were layered, and the soldiers marching around were very imposing.
Seeing this, Qin Ning was startled and felt a bit timid.
Although he had come here determined to take the risk, seeing such a powerful military camp made him break out in a cold sweat.
Hearing the inquiry, Qin Ning realized that several cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Condensation had rushed out.
At this moment, Qin Ning was covered in blood, and his face was ashen.
To avoid suspicion, Qin Ning deliberately pretended to be injured.
"It's a long story! I didn't expect to encounter a powerful opponent. All my people were killed, and I barely escaped using a magical treasure!"
Hearing Qin Ning's words, the few people not only did not suspect him but also seemed to take pleasure in his misfortune. One of them laughed and said, "That girl from Blue Star, we let her go to you. If you couldn't get her, it's your own fault. Next time, you won't have a chance!"
Seeing their expressions, Qin Ning gained more understanding of the Abyssal people. In their eyes, the death of a few subordinates was not a big deal.
"Come, we just captured a new slave. Let's have a few drinks."
Hearing an Abyssal person say this, Qin Ning almost vomited. He knew what the "new slave" meant; it was probably Blue Star human flesh.
Suppressing his discomfort, Qin Ning made his ashen face even more so and said, "I need to rest and recover."
The young men did not insist, laughing and accompanying Qin Ning inside.
"We just had a fierce battle, and our army won a great victory!"
"We captured many Blue Star people. This battle was a great success!"
Listening to their discussion, Qin Ning asked, "I wonder how the construction of our teleportation array is going. If it's completed, the main army can arrive and crush the enemy."
"I heard they brought in more alchemists, and the construction speed has increased."
"I really want to see it!" Qin Ning said casually.
"Damn, the Western Camp people are keeping a tight watch. They won't let us see. When we get back to the capital, I'll deal with them."
Western Camp?
Qin Ning's memory quickly provided some information. He learned that the construction of the teleportation array was taking place in the Western Camp of the military camp.
After gathering some information, Qin Ning felt more at ease.
"Report to the captains, General Qin is summoned."
An Abyssal soldier quickly arrived and loudly announced.
"Brother, you've been missing for a while. Leaving the camp without permission will likely get you in trouble!"
"Who cares? The Wu family's influence is there. The general doesn't have the guts to do anything to Wu Wei."
The young men all looked like rich young masters, not taking the general seriously at all.
Wu Wei knew this was a test for him. It was a matter of whether he could handle the general. He agreed and followed the soldier to the general's tent in the center.
The cultivation levels of the soldiers here were higher. At a glance, Qin Ning saw that the most common soldiers were at the third level of Qi Condensation, and the officers were at higher levels. He saw many Foundation Establishment officers and even some approaching the Golden Core stage.
After being announced, Qin Ning walked in and saw a Golden Core general sitting high.
The entire tent was filled with a powerful aura. Each officer stood silently, and as Qin Ning entered, their divine senses locked onto him completely.
At first, Qin Ning felt a bit nervous, but after entering, he relaxed. It was just a matter of death, nothing too serious.
With a relaxed mind, Qin Ning appeared more casual.
Unbeknownst to Qin Ning, his attitude matched the original Wu Wei's, which reduced the suspicion of the others.
The general looked him over, his eyes showing a brief disdain.
Given the powerful Wu family in the capital, the general only wanted to be friendly.
"Greetings, General!"
In the military, due to the armor, they only performed a hand salute, not kneeling. Qin Ning gave a hand salute.
"You left the camp without permission. Do you know your crime?"
The general roared loudly.
With his roar, a powerful pressure enveloped Qin Ning.
"General, I left the camp to pursue Blue Star people. It was justifiable. I hope the General will forgive me."
Imitating Wu Wei's personality, Qin Ning said this.
Looking at Qin Ning, the general already knew that many of his subordinates had died. This was just a way to save face. Seeing that Qin Ning did not defy him as before but instead asked for forgiveness, the general's expression softened. He thought that this time, the young man had lost many people and was probably scared. This was good; he could save face.
Thinking this, the general's expression changed. "What exactly happened?"
Qin Ning recounted how he was leading a pursuit, and they were about to capture the Blue Star people when a Foundation Establishment expert suddenly appeared, killing his subordinates. If he hadn't used a magical treasure to escape, he would have been killed too.
Such incidents happened every day on the chaotic battlefield, and there was nothing special about it. The general was just asking out of routine.
"Considering you were pursuing the Blue Star people, it was justifiable. Don't let it happen again. Go rest."
The general did not dare to do anything to Wu Wei. After a few questions, he dismissed him.
Leaving the tent, Qin Ning felt a bit heavy-hearted and somewhat uneasy. He had thought Wu Wei was from a minor noble family, but now it seemed his family was very powerful, so powerful that even a Golden Core general did not dare to provoke them.
It was getting complicated!
Qin Ning felt a bit regretful. Impersonating a descendant of such a powerful family had its advantages and disadvantages. If their family experts arrived, he was unsure if he could continue his impersonation.
Thinking about how he had already entered the military camp and could not change his identity, Qin Ning felt uneasy.
Checking Wu Wei's memories, Qin Ning felt a bit more at ease. Fortunately, the people Wu Wei brought were all dead, so no one could uncover his problem for the time being.
Standing outside the tent, Qin Ning was thinking about returning to his quarters when a young man suddenly appeared, kneeling before him and saying, "Servant Wu An greets Young Master."
Seeing Wu An, Qin Ning's expression changed. He suddenly thought of a serious problem. Although the military camp did not allow family members, these young masters all brought female slaves. These female slaves were responsible for making beds and even intimate matters. They were the ones who truly knew him.
What should he do?
Qin Ning stood there, hesitating.
