After killing the two men who were tailing him, Zhaang Ye suppressed his aura completely, traveled for hundreds of miles, and then stealthily changed his attire.
He swapped his cyan robes for an unremarkable gray set and wrapped his Heavy Saber in a Beast Hide. To complete the disguise, he messed up his hair, smeared dirt on his face, and transformed himself into a rather forlorn-looking youth.
After changing his clothes, Zhaang Ye took out the two Martial Arts Secret Manuals he had looted. He wanted to see which faction the men who had tracked him belonged to.
One of the two Martial Arts Secret Manuals was called *Gale Iron Wire Fist*, a Mid-Level Martial Arts Secret Manual that emphasized horizontal blocks and straight, wind-fast punches. The other manual was called *Deceitful Step*, a Mid-Level Stepping Technique. When executed, it made the user seem to appear and disappear like a phantom, allowing them to vanish from an enemy's line of sight at any moment.
