After the break, Lufan began to follow the traces left by Li Hao.
The first place he arrived at was the valley where he had previously been, but the bodies of the eight Robbers and Wang Yan were already gone. Additionally, there were many new footprints at the scene, indicating that other Robbers had come and moved the bodies.
This made Lufan's tracking easier. He followed the obvious traces, climbing over mountains and hills, until he finally stopped at the foot of a majestic peak.
He knew he should have found the enemy's lair. The large cave halfway up the mountain, with its obvious man-made structures, said it all.
The location was found, but now the difficult part was how to infiltrate it. Although there was no one guarding the entrance at the moment, entering without knowing what was inside would undoubtedly be reckless.
Lufan didn't have any good plans; he could only wait patiently for an opportunity. From what he had overheard from those Robbers earlier, it seemed that some important guests were arriving today, which might present an opportunity.
Fortunately for Lufan, luck was on his side, and he didn't have to wait long for his chance.
He saw a pale-faced, sharp-nosed Robber walk out of the cave, carrying a shovel on his shoulder and cursing as he headed west down the mountain.
Sensing that this person's strength was likely not impressive—only at the Refining Skin Realm—Lufan quietly followed him.
As he walked, the Robber muttered angrily, "These bastards! Just because I’m weaker than them! The second-in-command clearly ordered five of us to come bury the bodies together, but here I am alone. Damn it! If I were stronger, I would have beaten you all so badly that your mothers wouldn't recognize you!"
It turned out this Robber had been sent by others to bury the bodies, likely those from Scarface's group.
Sure enough, when they reached a patch of woods, several bodies lay scattered about—it was Scarface and his crew.
However, Wang Yan's body was not among them; it was unclear where it had been taken.
Upon seeing these bodies, the Robber did not immediately start digging a grave. Instead, he walked around them with a pleased expression.
"Hey, isn't this Scarface?" This Robber looked quite smug. "What a mess you’re in! Taken out so easily! Where’s your usual bravado now?"
Then he turned to another body: "Isn’t this Lao Wu? You look even worse! Almost unrecognizable! Tsk tsk, this is called karma! You used to take all the pretty women for yourself while I could only watch enviously. Now let’s see how you compete with me in the future!"
This Robber insulted nearly every body in sight. Still unsatisfied after venting his frustrations about having to bury them himself, he raised his shovel and struck each corpse a few times before finally starting to dig a grave.
After all, he was a Martial Cultivator of the Refining Skin Realm. Before long, a large pit had been dug by these Robbers. Just as he was about to wipe his sweat and fill it in after putting all Eight Corpses inside, his body suddenly stiffened.
A dagger appeared under his neck, emanating a chill that sent goosebumps across his skin.
"Don't move! Otherwise, if my hand slips, you'll end up like them!" A Deep Voice came from behind him.
"I'm not moving, I'm not moving! Big brother, please don't let your hand shake! What do you want me to do? I'll do anything!"
The Robber nearly wet himself. He was already timid by nature, and this sudden turn of events made his legs go weak. If he weren't afraid of the dagger slicing his throat, he would have collapsed to the ground.
"I need to know some things. If you hide anything from me, your throat will be torn open just like theirs. Think carefully."
"I'll tell you everything! What do you want to know? As long as you don't kill me, I'll say it all." The Robber was terrified upon realizing that the person behind him was the Mighty Person who had wiped out the Scarred Ones.
This was a killing god! Wasn't it said that he had been killed by the Eldest Son? How was he still alive? The fact that this person could survive under the Eldest Son's pursuit made the Robber even more fearful.
Lufan did not respond directly to the Robber's words but continued to ask, "First, tell me how the cave is laid out."
Half an hour later, after Lufan had learned all the information he wanted, he snapped the neck of the Robber known as Slim Monkey.
From the earlier interrogation, Lufan had already realized that although this person was cowardly and afraid of death, he wasn't a good person either; there was no way Lufan would go easy on him.
After dealing with Slim Monkey, Lufan stripped off his clothes and put them on before pushing the body into the pit he had dug himself and then burying it.
Once the pit was filled in, Lufan began rubbing his face with his hands. When he removed his hands, he had completely transformed his appearance!
His face not only became shifty-eyed and sharp-nosed but also took on a waxy yellow complexion. At first glance, he looked strikingly similar to Slim Monkey!
Lufan's plan was precisely this: he intended to use Slim Monkey's identity to infiltrate the cave.
As for changing his appearance, it was quite simple for him. Having reached the peak of the Refining Skin Realm and on the verge of breaking through to the Refining Meat Realm, along with having control over his own body, this wasn't too difficult for him.
By casually distorting the skin on his face, he could change his appearance significantly. Then by suppressing some of his blood energy, he could fake this skin tone.
Moreover, Lufan's physique was similar to Slim Monkey's, making it hard for others to see through his disguise.
It is rather difficult to disguise one's voice, so Lufan can only plan to speak as little as possible once he gets inside.
In fact, this is nothing for Lufan; it is merely basic disguise. Those above Fourth Rank are truly skilled at it.
For them, who can freely manipulate their muscles and bones, it is almost possible to completely transform into another person in a very short time. Their height and physique can be entirely different, and they can maintain this change for a long time. That is true disguise and impersonation.
The reason why Martial Cultivators of intermediate rank and above are respected and feared is not only due to their powerful abilities but also because of their skill in changing identities at will. This makes them incredibly difficult to guard against when infiltrating for intelligence or assassination.
Unlike Lufan, who currently has no ability to change his form for an extended period and can only rely on luck.
In reality, the true challenge of disguise lies in mastering one's aura. Everyone has a unique aura that is difficult to mimic. Even those skilled individuals need to observe and analyze another person's behavior and aura changes over a long period to achieve perfect imitation.
Lufan does not have that much time to imitate the unique aura of the thin monkey, but he possesses the Turtle Breath Divine Skill.
Since the Turtle Breath Divine Skill can perfectly conceal all of his own aura, it can also easily alter his aura to some extent, allowing him to achieve at least an eighty percent resemblance.
Moreover, Lufan already knows that this thin monkey holds one of the lowest roles in the cave, usually responsible for the most menial and dirty tasks. Not many people pay attention to him, which gives Lufan a great opportunity to blend in.
Using a dagger, he styled his hair to resemble that of the thin monkey's, smeared some mud on his face, hunched his back slightly, and tucked in his neck. A timid and cowardly thin monkey now appeared before him.
Lufan looked towards the cave; next would be the test of his acting skills.
