Not a suspect?

After reaching his manor Mo Dao instructed his accountant to give 100 gold coins to Mo Gweshi and walked away.

He changed his attire and left after jumping the wall. Now he looked similar to Zan Bejo.

After reaching his house Mo Dao started the Modifications

With each Upgrade Mo Dao's strength was soaring. Without grandmaster technique improvement is hard but not impossible. To stay alive a person only need a strong body and fast legs thus Mo Dao mainly focused on these two prospects.

Iron cloth shirt is a local skil anyone can buy it in a few tales of silver. Mostly loose Martial artists have it. Mo Dao picked it from library since it increases bone and skin density to some extent but it had little effect on Mo Dao's body.

Black Demon fleshcraft is a bit similar to body changing technique Mo Dao had learned once. But it also has a effect of recovery by infusion or digestion of blood qi, strengthening of body and hardening of skin.

Vital qi absorption technique can be considered unorthodox since it can also steal Vital qi from recently dead corpses or alive Martial artists. But in the scripture pavillion it was thrown like common garbage. Later Mo Dao found out absorbing qi from someone else destroys the foundation and affects potential. Most of people who cultivated it lost their minds and became demon.

Under Mo Dao's skin his veins were wriggling and started pulsating profusely. His nails elongated and bone structure also started changing. Mo Dao opened his eyes from comprehension and felt severe pain through his body. Even after circulating Vital energy throughout his body it didn't go away. Mo Dao's face was contorted in a grimace. Only after he returned to his true face and body structure it started subsiding. Mo Dao was covered in cold sweat. He vowed to never improve ever again after dislocation of muscle and bones.

Now Mo Dao checked his body and found it was totally normal the nails also disappeared and his bone structure returned to normal as well.

Mo Dao again had this feeling of total control over his body but along with that there was continuous absorption of Vital energy from all his surrounding. His body was passively atttacting surrounding vital energy without circulation. If he wanted he could've stopped it but Mo Dao was too shocked to do that. Mo Dao had heard in legends about people being born with Innate bodies fit for cultivation. Their starting line is a Master. They are born with heaven-man-in-one which is important for ascension to Master from Innate. Their bodies were described just like this constantly absorbing energy from surroundings. Mo Dao closed his eyes and calmed his mind. This technique can also be used to absorb Blood qi and Vital energy from any Martial Artist. Now Black Demon absorption is a complete demonic technique.

It was a minor improvement but Mo Dao was satisfied.

Mo Dao got immersed into comprehension.

Mo Dao stood up and his body disappeared without any sound. It was completely soundless, Mo Dao felt like he wasn't walking but flying, his body felt very light.

Mo Dao came outside of house and looked at the setting sun. It was time for shift change and people from county prison will arrive to check on him. If one of his colleagues was sent then it will be fine but if a Master came then that means Zan Bejo will be counted as a suspect. In that case Mo Dao will kill them and discard this identity. Mo Dao changed into Zan Bejo and started waiting.

Mo Dao still has two Manuals after integrating 4 skills but there is no time. The two manuals aren't skills either rather they are body refining martial arts and it will take a lot of time in integrating them.

Mo Dao waited for a while and saw two people coming towards his house. He could see them clearly, they were his colleagues, both were Innate Martial Artist that meant he won't be counted as a suspect and Su Chen will be pursued as traitor but Su Chen has already been killed by Mo Dao.

"Little Zan why didn't you came for your post?" the speaker was a old man with white beard. He had good relationship with Zan Bejo.

"If it weren't for us defending you, you would've been caught as a suspect." The other guy spoke with pride

"Suspect, Did something happen in prison?" Mo Dao asked looking confused

"Two grandmasters were killed in prison and everyone thinks Su chen is the convict. Even prisoners in level 3 reported his face during portrait making."

"But Su chen still hasn't been found, his family was taken to county prison for interrogation."

"Some even speculate someone else used Su chen's face mask but then how come their body sizes are same."

They took turns in explaining.

Mo Dao had an astonished expression and cold sweat ran down his cheeks seemingly terrified.

"I-I had slight fever so I didn't came." Mo Dao moved his hand towards them to check his body temperature.

"Haha how can we doubt you kid, we were colleagues with your father and you grew up among us. Instead all us brothers opposed them from making you a suspect and given your fathers contribution it was only natural that you won't be suspected." He still checked Mo Dao's temperature. Mo Dao used his supernatural power of Blzing Sun to deceive him.

Mo Dao had a relieved expression on his face. None of the people doubted that someone could use bone and muscle changing technique. The closest suspect was face changing Technique.

Mo Dao could relate why no one suspected it since body changing techniques are very demanding to learn. A slight mistake and a person can destroy his meridians and you also need proper healing and medication along with a lot of time.

Unlike Mo Dao who has panel, other people need a long time and proper directions to reach small accomplishment in body changing techniques. Now it is only used by spies and killer organisations.

According to known records the last time someone used it was 5 years ago when a saint was poisoned to death in the capital of Long Empire by an assassin from criminal organisation known as Red Door. It had caused major uproar throughout the capital. Mo Dao can't even fathom what kind of poison can kill a saint.

After some chit-chat the two left and Mo Dao returned to Zan Bejo's house.
