《Conquer the World》Chapter 9: Hidden Expert
Advertisement
The man with a gray robe and a straw hat was walking towards the entrance to the mayor's residence when suddenly ten black cloaked men attacked him!
In their hand, there were papers with runes that inscribed in that paper. They chanted with hymns and then the paper started to glow and strings of yellow were forming a net that surrounds the man.
This place right now was a rather deserted area and it was so perfect for setting an ambush.
But the man's only thought was someone was used a concealment method to probe him. 'Who is the one that uses this concealment art? Even I only faintly feel the presence and not the location with my cultivation!'
The man only touched his straw hat when the net broke easily like spider's web. This made those ten men stared widely at the man.
"Continue!" whispered one of them. The man also detected their cultivation, most of them were at Culture Core stage while three people were at early stage Nascent Soul.
'Some hired helper? Better than expected but maybe I should toy with them, it will be fun to see his expression.' the man thought about Li Kuang that made things difficult for him.
The man's body suddenly blurred and without warning, three of Nascent Soul cultivators were grabbed by an invisible force and then dragged to a hole.
This hole then closed and a bag that no bigger than a palm with strange colors could be seen.
'Damn it!' because their strongest person had been defeated so easily, the only thought in their mind was to escape from here without further ado.
But the man only said, "You already came here so why leave so soon? Let's have a chat and talk about our comprehension here."
Ye Yingyuan who concealed himself suddenly felt his entire body stiff, unable to move. Why is that? It was because the man radiates such a strong killing intent.
Even Manstein felt the same too. He only had this kind of feeling when his grandfather chased away some pest in the city with his gun!
"Such killing intent! He must be some expert." Ye Yingyan saw that the man just casually use his finger to strike the Culture Core cultivators.
Each strike that hit their body made them unable to use their energy!
"What kind of attack was that!? My body can't even move!" shouted one of them. Now they felt that this job of them became a calamity to them.
"Use that! Now's not the time to hold back anymore." one of them also determined to use their precious item they possessed.
"So you really have that kind of item as well. But now my mood is ruined because of you and the consequences will be bad for you all." the man said with a smile but for those seven cultivators, they felt like a demon was standing there.
The man heard the plea from those people, even Ye Yingyuan also stared dumbly at the scene in front of him. The most surprised from all of them were not those who were visible but Manstein.

He had never seen the direct confrontation of a soldier in his world when they do battle, much less in this world where most of them used their power to kill.
The man just swiftly cuts some of the limbs from them. They screamed so hard because not only their limbs were severed from their body but also the man used his power to attack their soul!
"Let us go and we will not pursue this matter!" even some of them really out of option now that they asked the man to let them go.
"Really? From the start to the end, I never see all of you ask about my background for a bit. But you want to use yours to scare me? Even if your sect master come here personally, I will still kick his ass you know."
The man now showed his arrogant look to them. They felt like the one standing in the front of them were not some normal cultivator but a freak!
"No way! There is no way that you are him......right?" trembling, someone actually started to recall something that he had heard.
"No...way....you....are you Nie Yang?" now that person called the name of the most dangerous person their sect had mentioned, every one of their face now turned darker.
"So you really came from that sect! Well, you presented yourself to me so it would be rude if I refuse, don't you think so?" Nie Yang glared at them like a hungry wolf at their prey.
In the end, their fate was not much different from the three Nascent Soul cultivators earlier, went straight to the bag.
"What is that bag?" Ye Yingyuan had seen something incredible today. "Only because I had this concealment method that I can see this today."
But when he wanted to leave, the man suddenly said something that made him surprise.
"Who are you? Even your power of cultivation is not strong but to escape those people's detection must be great right? But not for me. Reveal yourself now!" the man shouted using his cultivation power.
The earth trembled and the air vibrated wildly. Ye Yingyuan already accepted this concealment method as a great skill because he used it to escape from those cultivators whose stage were at Culture Core and even Nascent Soul.
But this Nie Yang detected him!
'Just what is his cultivation level?' thought Ye Yingyuan. Manstein could only think with his intelligence and searched for a good solution.
Stealthily probing a person made them suspicious already and if they could not give a reasonable answer, they would end up in a miserable state.
"I'm just here to see the show but you really have a good sense. But don't worry too much about me because I'm here because the same reason you gave at that time."
With the hoarse sound they intentionally made, Ye Yingyuan said those words. But the real person who said that was Manstein.
'Really, this is going troublesome.' Manstein must take the lead in the conversation to keep the mysterious identity.

This concealment method itself was derived from his world's and then combined it with the theories in his Soul Transfer, the new concealment method was born.
"The same reason as me? I'm fine with that but why like this?" Nie Yang asked in an awkward tone. 'Why can't I detect the cultivation level of that person? Don't tell me that his cultivation was higher than me!'
"Just my own way to have fun! Besides, I'm here today is to enjoy the view of this city. If you have trouble with that I can accompany you~" said Manstein with the sound of Ye Yingyuan.
'He acts as if my presence was nothing in his eyes!' Nie Yang could only sigh. Today, he met a hidden master that could evade his sight.
'Maybe he intentionally let me detected him?' the more mysterious someone, the more things to think. Nie Yang actually misunderstood this but even if the opposite party knew, they would just let it be.
"Then, senior must be here to watch me. Of course, I feel honored." not knowing how to solve this, Nie Yang could only humble himself in front of the mysterious person.
"You're right. And sorry for my rude behavior, now I shall take my leave," said Manstein.
The truth was, the concealment could not be maintained for a long time because this was the result of using a method with the knowledge Manstein had accumulated.
He left quickly and made no trace. Nie Yang could not even use any tracking method because the concealment was so profound.
"I really hope that we can meet again." with a sigh, Nie Yang continued his journey to the mayor's residence.
As for Ye Yingyuan and Manstein, they almost fucked up. "Lucky. But maybe we should not do that kind of things again." Manstein almost lost his composure when faced with such a cultivator.
"Your concealment method is really great. With this, I think most cultivators will not realize your presence," added Ye Yingyuan.
When Manstein saw Nie Yang directly when in stealth, that man could not detect him! This means that with this concealment method, he did not need to worry being detected by normal means just like before.
"But in the end, this is just a supporting skill, not an offensive and defensive skill that usually the cultivators trained, right? We better search again for someone that have the capabilities to separate and put me in a body."
The purpose of their strolling this time was to find that kind of person. It was better than not looking at all but until now they did not find that particular person.
They returned to the residence with a disappointed look but then a loud noise came from inside the residence.
Several new guards also heard that while speaking about yesterday's incident.
"What!? Why the residents inside suddenly became so noisy?" asked one of them.
"Don't care but look! Isn't that one of the Young Master from Ye family?" said another while pointed his finger at Ye Yingyuan.
A boy walked towards their position and soon his face was being seen by them. Indeed, it was Ye Yingyuan that walked to Ye Residence. But someone also appeared nearby and then both of them accidentally crashed each other!
The main reason for that because each of them too focused on something else and forgot to check the surroundings.
Manstein who watched it only commented silently inside. 'Don't tell me this is a flag? No way, right?'
It was because the one who hit Ye Yingyuan was a pretty girl. She really had a lovely face, but of course, Manstein just disregard that because it was Ye Yingyuan's fault not him!
"Who!?" Ye Yingyuan regained his sense when he saw who was the one that hit him. The guards were unable to move, much less helping. The girl also said the same thing.
'Coincidence? Maybe not.' added Manstein. When they saw each other, it was like a storm is formed and the earth trembled by their glare.
"It's you!" even when they recognize each other, their reaction still the same. They even pointed at each other at the same time too!
Manstein whistling and then said, 'Well, tell me who she is.'
Ye Yingyuan only told him, "She is the only daughter of the mayor. It was because of the mayor himself already old, he adopted a son and she was the only descendant. Now you understand?"
'The only lineage of the mayor? So that Li Kuang is just some lucky bastard huh?' Manstein felt the strange dread feeling from the deepest part of himself.
He could not describe it with words. Only when his life was threatened that he started to feel like this. When in his previous world, Manstein only felt this sensation when some capitalist wanted to advantage of him or when he was attacked by the local bandit in the desert.
"She is Li Ling and....ah I don't want to remember anything related to her." Ye Yingyuan refused to tell more than that.
"You again! Why are you here!?" Li Ling shouted loudly. "Oh, come on. It's not like I am looking trouble by avoiding you yet here we are!" said Ye Yingyuan.
This was the same as provoking their pride. Manstein only saw everything without interfering any one of them.
"Uh, what should we do? Mayor's daughter is here as well and if we let them like that, who will responsible for that?" because they also became the witness, they would not be safe from questioning.
Just letting their Young Master doing as he pleased while they were only watching the scene would make them punished by the patriarch.
And now, they raked their brain to solve the trouble that had been happened in their face!
