Chapter 139: Disguise!
"Yes, it has been around 80 years since he joined the Xue Mo Tribe!"
"Joined? Wasn't he born here?" Ashen asked curiously. Explore more at m,v l'e-m|p| y r
The black-haired woman shook her head and answered: "No, he was born in the QingLong tribe as one of the righteous hypocrites, however, he joined our tribe for some reason. Nobody knows the reason, other than those who were involved."
"So are there any relatives of his? Someone who might come to meet him?" Ashen inquired.
If there was such a relative, Ashen could disguise himself as them and go meet Qin Feng as an excuse.
The woman shook her head: "No, According to the rumors, his tribe was destroyed when he turned 19. He was the only survivor of that incident, though nobody knows why it was destroyed. Maybe the nearby tribes who were living there would know the reason. But that sums up the fact that he has no blood relatives alive in this world!"
"Oh... such a pity..." Ashen said with a disappointed expression: "Then what about his acquaintances?"
The woman thought for a while before giving her answer: "Most of the Prefecture lords hate him. Right now, he is trying to unify the Xue Mo Tribe under him to go attack the righteous tribes as one force instead of fighting amongst themselves. The prefecture lords don't want to be under anyone and thus, hates him."
"Only the central prefecture lords have come under him, so they will be his acquaintances. As for his enemies, It will be the northern prefecture lords, led by the prefecture lord Du Ya Fei, the strongest prefecture lord of the north!"
"Other than them, there is the Blood Demon Lord who favors him. Since he is an emperor realm expert, he was the one to decide on giving the position of deputy sect leader to lord Qin Feng. Also, it is said that the daughter of the Blood Demon Lord and Qin Feng are lovers and she was the reason why our tribe saved him."
Ashen nodded in understanding as he sighed in his mind:
Sigh... There is no one who I can disguise myself to go and meet him.
Should I simply create a useless identity to try my luck and see if I can meet him?
Ashen pondered before looking at the women beside him and passing the wine to them.
"You can have this, I'll take my leave!" He said before standing up to leave.
"Huh? So soon? Let us accompany you tonight, young master..." The black haired woman said in a seductive tone while holding his hand sensually.
"No need!" Ashen smiled before shaking his hand and leaving.
He made the payment and left for Qin Feng's mansion.
Now he had some idea about Qin Feng. It was clear that the QingLong tribe was his enemy, however, Ashen couldn't disguise himself as one of them since the whole Xue Mo Tribe will be hunting him if he did so.
There was an easy excuse he could make to meet Qin Feng. He landed in the bushes before taking out a fake white beard and mustache along with a fake white wig.
Getting in the disguise of an old man, he lowered his cultivation to core-formation realm and approached the guards.
"Halt! Identify yourself!" The Guard yelled as soon as they approached the unidentified old man flying towards them.
Ashen landed and bowed before speaking respectfully, mimicking the voice of an old man quite accurately: "I am a subordinate of Lord Du Ya Fei, here to deliver a message to Lord Qin Feng in person. My lord has instructed me to give this message only to Lord Qin Feng and no one else."
The guards looked at the old man with a puzzled expression before answering: "Lord Qin Feng is in close cultivation and has instructed us to not let anyone in unless its extremely important!"
Ashen acted to be in a hurry as he pressed on the urgency of the matter: "It is very urgent and this message can change the destiny of the Xue Mo Tribe. You need to let lord Qin Feng know of this. I implore you!"
The guards looked at each other before nodding in agreement: "Alright, give us a second, we'll go and deliver the news of your arrival to the lord's attendants!"
One of the guard went inside to deliver the news of his arrival. Ashen understood that those core-formation realm experts he sensed earlier were Qin Feng's attendants.
Ashen waited patiently before the guard came back in a few minutes with a new man accompanying him. This man had brown long hair along with matching beard and a rough face.
He looked at Ashen from top to bottom before speaking suspiciously: "Who are you? I've never seen you before—not even when we attacked the Northern Prefecture to bring it under our control!"
Ashen simply smiled at his question without even flinching. He was ready to be faced with suspicion when he decided to take this guise on.
However, this guise had an advantage over all others and that was that the person Ashen was pretending to be was from Qin Feng's enemy team.
Even if Ashen lied, they couldn't verify it. Also, they would never know everything about their enemy.
Ashen was confident to fool anyone right now.
He answered as if the answer was obvious: "I am lord Du Ya Fei's most trusted subordinate. I am used to working in the dark instead of light due to my speed and strength. You can say I am his trump card that he would never reveal unless necessary."
"When you attacked northern Prefecture, lord Du Ya Fei didn't feel the need to bring me out to fight. If he had, many of your core-formation experts would have died that day. However, now the situation is different and this message is urgent. It needs to be delivered to lord Qin Feng and only I can do that. This is the reason my lord sent me here!"
Qin Feng's attendant's eyes twitched as he saw the arrogant tone of this old man, however, he decided to not get provoked.
He replied calmly: "Lord Qin Feng is in close cultivation to create a new attack to defeat the northern prefecture in the next attack. Tell me your message and I'll deliver it to him when he comes out!"
Ashen replied immediately: "Fuck off!"
