Chapter 107: Chapter 107: I Will Be The One To Play Chess

Two months ago, beneath my feet the land sprawled a million miles, where a ferociously brutal slaughter took place.

The Beast Taming Sect, True Martial Hall, Yuanyang Cult, Divine Soldiers Valley, Demon Spirit Sect, Sword Sect, and even the Great Zhou Royal Court personally entered the stage, one by one the great powers stepped into the chess game crafted by the Red Lotus Sect.

They shattered the nearly perfect setup of the Red Lotus Sect, nearly wiping out its forces in Tuzhou.

Even that mysterious sect leader was defeated by the combined forces of the Yuanyang Cult Master and the True Martial Hall Master, and ultimately slain by the Demon Spirit Sect Master while fleeing.

Liang Hui didn’t find the failure of the Red Lotus Sect’s plan surprising.

After all, the great powers of this world, even a person like him who could transcend the world, were wary of them.

The emergence of that ancient monster sealed by the Red Lotus Sect didn’t bring any benefits to the mighty, other than another superior looming over their heads.

How could the top powerhouses allow the Red Lotus Sect to break the seal successfully?

However, in order to thwart the Red Lotus Sect’s plan, these great powers also suffered significant losses, with several threads of Qi, divine veins, and Primordial Spirits perishing in battle.

The Beast Taming Sect, in particular, had its gates breached, with most of its disciples dead or gravely injured, and it seemed that both its existing divine veins had perished in combat.

But for him, what mattered most was that these great powers, with the fall of the Red Lotus Sect, had already left Tuzhou.

Liang Hui contemplated the intelligence he had gained from the Red Lotus Sect adherents, weighing its pros and cons.

For him, the more divine veins and Primordial Spirits that died, the better.

However, he needed to inquire from multiple sources to ensure the information’s accuracy.

Halting his train of thought, he headed in the direction of the large city he remembered.

Liang Hui traveled at great speed, crossing tens of thousands of miles in about four days, arriving beneath a majestic city.

At this moment, the sturdy city walls were covered in marks from various weapons, suffused with an atmosphere of carnage.

Soldier after soldier, donned in iron armor and armed with spears, patrolled non-stop.

At the city gates, there was also a significant number of people undergoing the soldiers’ inspection to enter the city.

Liang Hui glanced at the words ’Tuyang City’ on the city wall and joined the stream of people.

It wasn’t long before the youth reached the city gates.

Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, Liang Hui handed over his jade Permit.

Upon seeing the Permit, the soldiers’ expressions grew more respectful, but they still took the Permit and closely inspected it.

"Could you remove your mask? We need to verify your identity."

"Alright."

Liang Hui nodded and took off the iron mask, revealing an ordinary face.

"My apologies for the offense, sir."

Only after seeing Liang Hui’s appearance did the soldiers return the Permit, signaling that he could enter the city.

Taking the jade Permit back, he strode forward.

As soon as he entered the city, his eyes were met with a sea of white, as every household draped themselves in sackcloth and wore mourning bands, complete with hanging white fabrics.

Even the streams of people traversing the road tried to quiet their footsteps as much as possible.

"Nearly half a year has passed, and the sorrow of losing loved ones still hasn’t dispersed?"

Liang Hui sighed inwardly as he walked towards the taverns, the places where information was easiest to obtain.

"That Chu Barbarian! It’s detestable that they would make such a challenge now."

"Indeed! In previous years, disciples from the Beast Taming Sect would go to fight, but now the Beast Taming Sect... Alas!"

...

He hadn’t walked a hundred steps when the clamorous voices drew Liang Hui’s attention.

He turned and looked toward the crowd surrounding a high wall, slowly making his way over.

Extending his hand to part the crowd, he ignored the dissatisfaction from those disturbed by his action.

He made his way to the wall, examining the brocade fabric and the writing upon it.

The general meaning was:

’The Chu Nation, taking advantage of Tuzhou’s turmoil and weakness, proposed to send nine warriors from each of the Bone Refining, Marrow Refining, and Refining Viscera ranks to fight, in an attempt to strike at the morale of Tuzhou’s border defense forces.’

’And the Beast Taming Sect also issued directives for recruiting disciples to fight for Tuzhou.’

’The conditions to become a disciple were to slay a Red Lotus Sect adherent of the same rank, bring their relics to the Beast Taming Sect, ages 14 to 25 years.’

It must be due to extreme hatred and weakness that such directives would be issued.

Thoughts raced through Liang Hui’s mind.

He had no affections for either the Great Zhou or the Chu Nation.

What caught his attention were the resources available after becoming a Guest Elder, and the rewards for slaying strong Chu Nation warriors.

It contained several precious fire attribute stones that he wanted to acquire to enhance his foundation.

No!

Perhaps these were not the best, most precious things.

A glint flashed in Liang Hui’s eyes.

The Beast Taming Sect itself was, after all, the most precious item.

At that moment, Liang Hui was moved.

He turned around!

And started walking towards the direction of the tavern.

He needed to plan carefully to see if he could take control of the Beast Taming Sect.

Once he had control of a top faction, the benefits he could gain were simply unimaginable.

He would never be isolated and forced to flee in a sorry state again.

After arriving at the Tuyang City tavern, Liang Hui rented a room and went inside.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Liang Hui began to analyze the feasibility of his idea.

If the spiritual veins of the Beast Taming Sect were indeed extinct, relying on qi meridians alone would not be enough to see through his concealment.

He could move into the Beast Taming Sect openly and honorably.

What he now needed to confirm was whether the spiritual veins of the Beast Taming Sect had truly perished.

Moreover, the method of investigation was not difficult for him.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

While plotting, Liang Hui couldn’t help but laugh softly.

The once desperately fleeing self who was anxious every day.

Now had the right to set his own plays.

...

Seven days later.

Thirty thousand miles away from the Beast Taming Sect, on mountain ranges.

A slender figure stood at the mountaintop, looking at the blazing sun in the sky.

With each breath, streaks of golden afterglow fell from the horizon, spreading over the young man’s body.

It took about the time it takes an incense stick to burn for Liang Hui to stop cultivating the Crimson Sky Dragon Slaying Scripture.

He withdrew his gaze from the sky and closed his eyes to sense his inner self.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

"There’s no sense of crisis in my heart, have the spiritual veins of the Beast Taming Sect truly perished?" he mused.

Liang Hui grasped the hilt of his sword at his waist, looking thoughtful.

He planned to get closer, and if still no sense of crisis emerged, he would join the Beast Taming Sect.

And let it become the nourishment for his growth.

Over these seven days of continuous thought, Liang Hui realized that even if the spiritual veins of the Beast Taming Sect hadn’t died, they must have been severely injured.

If he were that severely injured spiritual vein, who discovered a strong talent possessing a mighty weapon capable of destroying everything,

And who by nature would repay any kindness, a peerless prodigy wishing to join their sect.

And his sect’s disciples had mostly perished, with nobody stepping up to fill the ranks.

What would he choose?

Without a doubt, he would not choose to oppose such a talent but would surely cultivate them with all his might, allowing them to grow.

So

"What do I have to worry about? This timing is too good for me," he decided.

He took a step and leapt down from the mountain range.

After landing on the ground, he ran towards the Beast Taming Sect.

After traveling several thousand miles, Liang Hui slightly furrowed his brows and stopped.

He heard the sound of weapons clashing and fierce fighting up ahead.

This place was not far from the Beast Taming Sect, yet there was fighting going on.

He turned around!

Ready to take a different route.
