Three hundred miles from the Capital City, Su Yang stopped directly.

Lei Peng walked at the forefront, taking a tour around the Capital City. Of course, it was merely on the periphery without entering the Capital City nor alarming anyone.

According to the information Lei Peng obtained, the guards at the Capital City have become even more stringent, far exceeding the conditions described by the previous captives. It is evident that the Divine Master has reinforced the guarding of the Capital City to prevent a surprise attack by Su Yang.

In fact, Su Yang knew very well that the Divine Master's attention was not actually on the Capital City. His focus was outside. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dispersed manpower to guard the Capital City but would have recalled more to Qinghe Academy, as it held greater importance to him.

Based on information from the captives, Su Yang learned a crucial detail: the Divine Master had ordered that no one may use the Gate of Life within Qinghe Academy. Whether to open it inside or use it to teleport to Qinghe Academy, it was strictly forbidden.

Su Yang questioned the captives, but they didn't know the reason behind it, only stating it was the Divine Master's strict order that none should violate.

Therefore, it seems the Divine Master has dispersed and prepared to move out at any time. Once Su Yang makes a move or news arises, he would immediately use the Gate of Life to dispatch people to pursue Su Yang.

This strategy aligned with what Su Yang desired. The Qinghe Academy was his target, and now that most of the Divine Master's forces were dispatched from there, it would make Su Yang's task much easier.

Having Lei Peng and Lin Mie hid in the Turtle Shell Space, Su Yang specifically kept Zhao Yuanzhou to discuss ways to infiltrate Qinghe Academy.

Even though the Divine Master had deployed many from Qinghe Academy, the guards remained substantial. Under such circumstances, entering Qinghe Academy was no easy feat for Su Yang. Much like earlier visits to the Su Family in Yanbei, entering covertly wasn't going to be easy, even if disguised as an ordinary person.

Zhao Yuanzhou, skilled in concealment, akin to the prior Kong Kong'er, was the right person to consult.

After hearing Su Yang's plan, Zhao Yuanzhou pondered for a while and murmured, "Su Alliance Leader, attempting to enter Qinghe Academy now isn't as simple as sealing your power and becoming an ordinary person. I estimate there are no ordinary people in Qinghe Academy, and inside, everyone knows each other. You might attract more attention by disguising yourself as an ordinary person, and likely be discovered as soon as you set foot inside."

Su Yang nodded, sharing the same concerns. Qinghe Academy, unlike the Su Family in Yanbei, was said to be composed entirely of Land Immortals according to the captives.

Previously, Su Yang could use Kong Kong'er's method to seal his power and enter the Su Family in Yanbei as an ordinary person. But now, this approach would not suffice for Qinghe Academy.

Zhao Yuanzhou contemplated for a moment and said, "To enter Qinghe Academy unnoticed, the best method is to become one of them."

"Transform?" Su Yang was puzzled, what did this mean?

"Yes, transform!" Zhao Yuanzhou nodded, saying softly, "Not just the appearance, but even the aura and power must mimic that person completely. Only then can you fool everyone."

"How does one transform?" Su Yang was baffled, was this even possible?

"This method is quite complex..." Zhao Yuanzhou frowned, "And very painful... I've only heard about it, but never used it..."

"It's fine!" Su Yang said directly, "As long as it's usable, tell me how to do it!"

Zhao Yuanzhou glanced at Su Yang and sighed, "First, you must kill the person you wish to become. Then, you must fuse a part of his soul and flesh into your body. When entering Qinghe Academy, you will release the aura of that soul and flesh, cooperating with the Secret Technique to completely adopt that person's aura. With a physical disguise, it will be flawless."

Su Yang nodded slowly; now he understood why this method was painful. Fusing flesh might only be a physical pain, which was passable. However, merging the soul was genuinely agonizing, torturing the spirit.

The Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book recorded this soul fusion method, noted as a form of extreme torture, terrifying indeed.

Nevertheless, what Su Yang needed to do wasn't just merge the soul. After completing his task, he had to extract the soul again, a process even more painful than the fusion!

No wonder Zhao Yuanzhou never used this method; unless absolutely necessary, who would willingly torment themselves like this?

Seeing Su Yang's silence, Zhao Yuanzhou whispered, "Su Alliance Leader, and even using this method requires specific conditions; you can't just pick anyone. You haven't reached the Land Immortal Realm, so you need to find someone also not in the Land Immortal Realm. Otherwise, differing power levels will expose you. Plus, the person you kill shouldn't be too much different in strength from you, or it would still leave flaws."

This truly made Su Yang frown.

According to Zhao Yuanzhou, this matter was indeed complicating.

Su Yang's current strength was akin to that of a Beigong War God. Finding someone equally powerful within the Land Immortal ranks was not challenging, but such individuals in the Fusion Realm were extremely scarce indeed.

Based on the captives' accounts, those with such power under the Divine Master in the Fusion Realm were fewer than ten. Among them, seven were Overseas Practitioners and thus were not options for Su Yang. Only the remaining two were from Huaxia; therefore, Su Yang's target could only be one of these two.

"Su Alliance Leader, this method is incredibly problematic; shall we think of another solution?" Zhao Yuanzhou asked softly.

"No need!" Su Yang waved his hand decisively, "We'll use this method, although we'll need to slightly alter our plan."

"Alter?" Zhao Yuanzhou was somewhat surprised, unsure of Su Yang's intention.

Su Yang looked towards the direction of the Capital City and said softly, "It seems like we still need to draw some people out."

Zhao Yuanzhou's face changed; was Su Yang planning to lure people out from the Capital City?

The people in the Capital City were on standby, prepared to immediately use the Gate of Life to pursue Su Yang as soon as he appeared. Trying to lure them now, wasn't that incredibly dangerous!
