Reincarnated As A Fox With System

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Split Up!

The expression of the city guards became more solemn after they heard Tang Li Xue introduce herself as a member of the Lu Family.

However, they did not completely believe what Tang Li Xue had said yet.

"Uh, is there anyone named Lu Xiaofeng from the Lu Family?" One of the city guards asked softly to his comrades.

"I don’t know. I have never heard of Lu Xiaofeng before." The other city guards whispered back.

The city guard stared at Tang Li Xue again and explained politely: "Please forgive us for our rudeness, but any members of aristocratic families usually ride on the carriage with the symbol of their families carved on it."

"Since you are not riding in a carriage with the Lu family’s symbol, then can you please at least show us your Lu family’s badge?" The city guard humbly requested Tang Li Xue.

"Humph, I am Lu Yixin’s cousin. I came to the Capital City because I have something very important to inform her. How dare a lowly city guard like you stop me?!" Tang Li Xue disdainfully blurted to the city guards.

Xi’er, who stood silently behind Tang Li Xue, unleashed the powerful pressure from her high-rank Nascent Soul Stage cultivation toward the city guards.

The broken Heaven Edge Sword, which was stored and nourished by Darkness Energy and Death Energy inside the [Sword of Disaster], had recovered a little bit after Xi’er stayed in the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] for almost a year.

Thanks to that, Xi’er’s cultivation had also improved to the high-rank Nascent Soul Stage.

"High-rank Nascent Soul Stage—!" The city guards exclaimed in shock and fear at Xi’er’s terrifying pressure.

Tang Li Xue nodded in satisfaction after Xi’er managed to scare off those city guards.

Then she secretly activated her [Mystic Whisper] and said: "Snort, you are all lucky that I am in a hurry today. Oh, I left my Lu Family’s badge at home. Can you give me a document to prove that I am from the Lu Family? It would be annoying if the other city guards questioned my identity again."

Under the effect of Tang Li Xue’s [Mystic Whisper] and the deterrence from Xi’er’s High-rank Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, the city guards no longer doubted Tang Li Xue, and they hastily made a document to prove that Tang Li Xue was from the Lu Family.

Tang Li Xue took the document and leisurely entered the Capital City with Xi’er following closely behind her.

Actually, Tang Li Xue could easily sneak into the Capital City with [Ethereal Form] or the perfect level [Art of Concealment] without being noticed by anyone.

The reason why she went through so much trouble to fool those city guards was to obtain this legitimate document to prove that she was from the Lu Aristocrat Family.

Tang Li Xue might not need this document since she had to sneak into the Imperial Palace and stay with Miracle Doctor Xu Yang in order to persuade him to compete for the throne.

But Tang Li Xue planned to give this document to her perfect copy, so she could move around freely with Xi’er and the others in this Capital City.

With the proper identity of the child from an aristocratic family, they could surely gather information and complete their mission much more easily.

As for why she chose the Lu Aristocrat Family, the reason was that Lu Yixin had kept provoking her again and again when she was in the Imperial Palace before, so she wanted to take revenge this time.

If her perfect copy, Shao Ying, and the others assassinated the First Prince later by using the Lu Aristocrat Family’s name, then hehehe... Tang Li Xue really wanted to see how Lu Yixin would react to that time.

There was a saying: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive and vengeful she is."

Tang Li Xue thought this saying was wrong before. How could a stunningly beautiful woman like her be deceptive and vengeful?!

But now, Tang Li Xue thought that it might not be necessarily wrong.

After walking leisurely for fifteen minutes or so on the crowded street, Tang Li Xue turned left and entered a dark alley between two buildings.

Then Shao Ying, Ji Xuanming, Feng Shuang, and Feng Ying emerged from Tang Li Xue’s shadow after making sure there was really no one there.

"All right, you can hold this communication talisman, so you can contact us anytime." Shao Ying took out a communication talisman from her space pouch and gave it to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue took the communication talisman and stored it in her space pouch.

"There are too many city guards patrolling in this Capital City after the death of the second prince. It would be safer for us if we split up for now." Shao Ying informed everyone.

Tang Li Xue, Ji Xuanming, and the others nodded in agreement.

Before they split up, Tang Li Xue gave Lucia and Yaya to Xi’er, while Little Loki would still stay with her.

The Imperial Palace was too heavily guarded, so bringing so many of them with her into the Imperial Palace would be unwise.

The reason she allowed Little Loki to follow her because Little Loki had [Instant Teleportation], [Temporal Space], and [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation].

If something untoward happened to her in the palace later, Little Loki could stop her enemies with [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation], swallow her into its [Temporal Space], and run away quickly with [Instant Teleportation].

Of course, it might be unlikely to happen since Tang Li Xue herself already had so many life-saving abilities.

Tang Li Xue also took out her perfect copy from [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] and instructed her to stay with Xi’er.

When they went out of the dark alley, they were split into four groups.

Shao Ying was alone since it would be much easier for her to move around. With her strength, skills, and intelligence, it would be much easier for her to move alone.

Ji Xuanming’s group was with Feng Shuang and Feng Ying.

Xi’er’s group was with Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, Yaya, and Lucia.

Lastly, the real Tang Li Xue was only with Little Loki.

After they split up, Tang Li Xue headed straight to the Imperial Palace with Little Loki sitting on her shoulder as usual.

But after she had almost reached the Imperial Palace’s front gate, Tang Li Xue still did not immediately barge in.

Even with her current Identity as one of the Lu Aristocrat Family’s members, it would still not be easy for her to enter the Imperial Palace.

There might be a high chance that her identity as a fake Lu Family member would be exposed if there were a strict inspection.

Tang Li Xue frowned as she thought deeply: "Should I just sneak in using my perfect level [Art of Concealment] and [Ethereal Form]?"

Tang Li Xue shook her head to deny that idea.

After the death of the second prince, the Imperial Palace should be even more tightly guarded than ever before.

Even the Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmasters would probably also guard the Imperial Palace even more carefully and seriously than before.

She did not have the confidence to pass the guard of those Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmasters with only her perfect level [Art of Concealment] and [Ethereal Form].

The only one who could give her full confidence was her [Myriad Manifestation Fox Mask]’s equipment skill, [Thousand Myriad Faces].

(Thousand Myriad Faces: The wearer can perfectly disguise as anyone, including the target’s clothes, appearance, body shape, aura, smell, cultivation, and so on, which makes anyone unable to see through the disguise. The disguise will break if the wearer gets hit by a powerful strike. Duration: 3 hours. Cooldown: 3 hours.)

The part saying ’can perfectly disguise as anyone’ was the one giving Tang Li Xue confidence.

Tang Li Xue stayed at an inn located near the palace front gate.

After resting for three hours in her room, the cooldown of her [Thousand Myriad Faces] was finally over.

Tang Li Xue transformed back to her normal form because the duration of the [Thousand Myriad Faces] was also over.

Tang Li Xue took out a black cloak from her space pouch and wore it to cover her eye-catching silky silver hair, fox ears, and fox tail.

"Now, I have to look for a target who is going out of the palace, so I can replace him to enter the palace." Tang Li Xue murmured her plan as she went out of the inn.

Tang Li Xue began to wander around the crowded street to look for the right target.

After waiting for an hour or so, Tang Li Xue noticed that there was actually a luxurious carriage going out from the palace front gate.

Tang Li Xue decided that the person inside the luxurious carriage would be the target she would replace.

Tang Li Xue activated [Ethereal Form] and turned herself invisible, then she secretly followed the luxurious carriage from behind.

Even though the speed of the luxurious carriage was not slow, but it was still easy for Tang Li Xue to chase after it with her current speed.

Tang Li Xue waited for the right moment before she agilely jumped into the luxurious carriage!

Then she turned off her [Ethereal Form] and moved swiftly in order to knock out the person inside the carriage in one move.

BANG~!

Tang Li Xue struck that person’s neck with her chop.

Of course, she did not attack with her full strength since she might chop this person’s head off if she used her full strength.

That person fell down, but he was not unconscious yet.

Just when Tang Li Xue wanted to hit that person for the second time...

Tang Li Xue’s movement suddenly halted, because... she actually recognized the person she attacked!
