Firstly, it allows one to multitask and handle multiple matters simultaneously with high efficiency.

Secondly, it can conceal the true body to mask one’s identity and ensure safety.

Thirdly, its concealment is extremely potent, allowing one to disguise themselves as different personas without attracting too much attention.

Moreover, speaking of the Cloning Technique, Gu Yuan believes that although his own technique is formidable, the countless cloning and Divine Fragment techniques within the Demon Dao are endless.

Therefore, the person before him was most likely already possessed by Blood Cry True Master’s Divine Soul or a Divine Demon.

And this, is only on the surface; secretly, who knows how many other methods this old fellow is hiding.

Seeing Gu Yuan composed, even when facing him, there was not the slightest discomfort or anomaly, even exuding an air of calmness and composure, Blood Cry True Master felt a chill in his heart.

For Gu Yuan to appear this way, it indicates that he is fearless and full of confidence!

"True Master, your reason for coming here isn’t just for a chat, is it?"

Gu Yuan slowly finished collecting his energy, a faint purple sheen covering his eyes.

"Correct."

Blood Cry True Master spoke calmly, "The time is about right, I’ve received reliable information. Just now, Xiu Daozhen and that Zheng Xingkong have just come out of seclusion and are currently resting."

With that, he looked at Gu Yuan and said, "If we are going to act, now is the best time!"

"Very well."

Gu Yuan nodded, then as if recalling something, asked directly, "Does the True Master have any plans?"

Blood Cry True Master chuckled, glancing at himself then at Gu Yuan significantly, "You and I both bear the surname ’Xiu’, isn’t that the perfect identity?"

"Indeed, what the True Master says is quite reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan also chuckled. In fact, he had the same thought himself.

Xiu Daozhen and that Zheng Xingkong are not simple characters to deal with, each possessing profound cultivation and ruthlessness, making them naturally difficult to handle.

The simplest yet toughest method is for the two of them to confront directly, not speaking politely but simply fighting.

However, doing so may alert the enemy before even reaching Xiu Daozhen’s Cave Mansion, causing the plan to fail.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan and Blood Cry True Master had already devised a plan early on, altering their appearances to become descendants of Xiu Daozhen, specifically Xiu Yanqi and Xiu Yanqing.

Thus, having the appropriate identity, presents the opportunity to take action.

Blood Cry True Master then revealed a somewhat peculiar smile and said, "Yesterday afternoon, I received news that a few days ago, someone spotted the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect’s Yan Chunyuan nearby. I think this matter is important and it’s necessary to report to grandfather. What do you think, Third Brother?"

The Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect’s Yan Chunyuan?

Hearing this, Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned, but his facial expression clearly showed surprise.

Truth be told, his journey to Little Iron Cloud Island was precisely to inquire about Yan Chunyuan.

Besides Gu Yuan and Yan Chunyuan, and his disciples, no one else knew of this matter.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan and Yan Chunyuan were friends; how could this issue now involve Yan Chunyuan?

Could it be that Blood Cry True Master knows of his acquaintance with Yan Chunyuan?

Thinking again of what was said earlier, Gu Yuan shook his head inwardly, realizing he was overthinking it.

Very few knew about his connection with Yan Chunyuan and the two met under different identities on both occasions, making it impossible for outsiders to know.

Moreover, Blood Cry True Master’s earlier words clearly indicated using this as an excuse to approach Xiu Daozhen and then make a move.

After all, there indeed was significant animosity between Yan Chunyuan and Xiu Daozhen, a fact realized not only by Yan Chunyuan’s revelation but also from the memories of Xiu Yanqi and Xiu Yanqing.

A decade ago, Yan Chunyuan had a grudge against Xiu Daozhen, and it even seemed to involve one of Yan Chunyuan’s senior brothers. The details were unknown, just that their enmity was deep, and Xiu Daozhen was extremely wary and vigilant of Yan Chunyuan.

This matter would definitely capture Xiu Daozhen’s attention.

Gu Yuan adjusted his expression seriously, saying, "Sixth Brother, you’re right, this is an extraordinary matter and must be reported quickly."

Xiu Yanzheng nodded and smiled, "How about we report it right now?"

Naturally, Gu Yuan didn’t refuse.

The two discussed a simple strategy and then departed immediately, heading for Xiu Daozhen’s Cave Mansion.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Cave Mansion, Gu Yuan stepped forward, and a Daoist child immediately blocked his way, "Greetings Third Young Master and Sixth Young Master. What urgent matter brings you two here?"

This Daoist child, not very tall, appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with rosy lips and white teeth, eyes bright and clear, speaking with a calm and casual demeanor, looking at Gu Yuan—or rather Xiu Yanqing—with an air of superiority in his gaze.

Nonetheless, Gu Yuan wasn’t surprised, understanding the true identity of the Daoist child before him.

Despite the child’s youthful appearance, he is in fact an elder cultivator, having reached the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, perhaps even more advanced, only a step away from the Yin Spirit Realm.

This person is Xiu Daozhen’s true confidant.

Frankly speaking, compared to Xiu Yanqi, Xiu Yanqing, Xiu Yanzheng, and other offspring, this Daoist child may hold the most importance and trust from Xiu Daozhen.

"May I trouble you to convey a message for us? My Sixth Brother and I have an urgent matter to report regarding Yan Chunyuan."

Gu Yuan got straight to the point.

The Daoist child was momentarily stunned, frozen in place, fully aware of the enmity between his master Xiu Daozhen and Yan Chunyuan.

Thus, this matter could not be delayed.

"Then I must trouble you to wait a moment. I’ll be right back."

With that, the Daoist child hurried away.

Gu Yuan and Blood Cry True Master exchanged a glance, saying no more, everything understood without words.

Soon after, the Daoist child returned hastily from the Cave Mansion and said, "Please come in, both of you."

Gu Yuan and Blood Cry True Master exchanged another glance, entered directly into Xiu Daozhen’s Cave Mansion.

After several twists and turns, passing by some pavilions, corridors, and gardens, they soon arrived at a high cliff led by the Daoist child.

Here, clouds and mist lingered.

On the flat ground of the high cliff, a table and two stone stools were placed.

Two silhouettes sat there, gazing at the distant scenery.

On the table, two cups of Spirit Tea were placed.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan’s eyes subtly shifted, then he respectfully saluted, "Yanqing pays respects to the Isle Master!"

Blood Cry True Master quickly followed suit.

As to why they referred to Xiu Daozhen as Isle Master, it was Xiu Daozhen’s own request.
