Chen Liang was greeting customers when he seemed to sense something and instructed Chen Er, “Chen Er, you take over serving Taoist Friend Liu, I have some matters to handle.”

After speaking, he hurried to the backyard, casually cast a soundproof barrier, took out a green Messaging Plate, and inserted a spell.

Shen Long’s voice came through: “Five hundred li southwest outside the marketplace, follow the signal to find a cave, I’m waiting for you inside the cave.”

“Yes, Master Uncle Yu.”

Chen Liang complied, put away the green Messaging Plate, then took out a golden Messaging Plate, inserted a spell, and said, “Daoist Friend Zhao, Master Uncle Yu has asked me to meet him for a transaction in a cave five hundred li to the southwest outside the marketplace.”

“Then you should go!

Just hand over the things to him.”

Commanded Zhao Bin.

“Yes, Daoist Friend Zhao.”

Chen Liang agreed, put away the golden Messaging Plate, and walked out.

Upon leaving the marketplace, Chen Liang flew towards the southwest direction on a Magic Artifact, very quickly.

After flying out for more than five hundred li, Chen Liang landed in a patch of green bamboo forest.

Guided by the signal, he arrived at a hidden underground cave.

No sooner had he entered the cave than he saw Shen Long.

“Master Uncle Yu!”

Chen Liang let out a sigh of relief; he had thought he might have made a wasted trip.

“Where’s the Golden Cypress Stone?”

Shen Long asked.

Chen Liang hurriedly took out a piece of golden ore and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted the golden ore, felt the weight, scrutinized it closely, confirmed it was Golden Cypress Stone, and said, “Not bad, you’ve worked hard, you did well.”

“Master Uncle Yu, how is that matter progressing?

When can I be transferred back to the main temple?”

Chen Liang asked.

“I haven’t been in touch with the higher-ups yet, you handled this task very well, I will mention your matter when I contact them.”

Shen Long said.

“I’ll have to bother Master Uncle Yu then; this is a small token of my appreciation.

I really don’t want to stay in Zhao Country anymore.”

Chen Liang took out a blue Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted the Storage Bag, swept it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and was about to say something when his brow furrowed, and he quickly stepped back as several large yellow Earth Spears emerged from the ground and shot toward his original position.

If he had been even a fraction slower, he would have been skewered.

Shen Long’s expression darkened as he looked towards Chen Liang.

He had never expected Chen Liang to betray him; if not for his quick reflexes, he would have been doomed right there.

Chen Liang shivered and forced a bitter smile, saying, “Master Uncle Yu, I had no other choice.

Consider joining Hundred Ghosts Sect!

There will be many opportunities.”

Li Jian, Chén Hóng, and Liu Biao emerged from underground, their expressions cold and detached.

“Taoist Friend Yu, a wise man submits to circumstances.

It would be wiser for you to cooperate with us!

Otherwise, even death might not be an option for you.”

Li Jian stated.

Just as Shen Long was about to reply, his figure swiftly moved to the left as a semi-transparent Ghost Creature appeared and pounced toward where Shen Long had been standing.

Given the strong Yin Qi emitted by the ghost shadow, it was clearly a Ghost Creature of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Shen Long released an Iron Tail Scorpion, a Fire Rock Beast, and over two thousand Gold Ants.

The Iron Tail Scorpion’s surface glowed brightly as it burrowed underground.

Li Jian released a Copper Armored Corpse, while Chén Hóng summoned a black scroll with numerous Ghost Creatures depicted on it.

She entered a spell, and a mournful wail of ghosts arose, with a large number of Ghost Creatures flying out, swarming toward Shen Long.

Liu Biao summoned a black staff shining with light and charged towards Shen Long.

Chen Liang also summoned a medium-grade Magic Artifact, attacking Shen Long.

With a clutch of his spell, the over two thousand Gold Ants suddenly coalesced into hundreds of foot-long golden arrows, confronting the swarm of Ghost Creatures head-on.

The Fire Rock Beast opened its mouth, spitting out dozens of large, grinding wheel-sized red fireballs, smashing into the Ghost Creatures.

The Copper Armored Corpse bent its legs and leaped high into the air, jumping up several meters, and pounced toward Shen Long.

As soon as it landed, many thick Green Vines erupted from the ground, entwining its body.

The Copper Armored Corpse struggled fiercely, easily breaking off the Green Vines.

A giant fireball fell from the sky, smashing onto it, engulfing its body in raging flames.

At the same time, a green tornado appeared, the forceful current pushing it into the tornado’s center.

One after another, sharp Wind Blades continuously struck the Copper Armored Corpse, producing a series of metallic, dull thuds.

Its body was covered in bloody wounds, with white bones faintly visible.

The Ghost Creatures hit by the red fireballs were immediately engulfed in the raging flames.

The dense golden arrows pierced the bodies of the Ghost Creatures, which emitted a tragic scream, their bodies releasing green smoke, leaving only a dimly lit black pearl in their original spot.

Liu Biao swung his black staff, creating multiple staff shadows, smashing the incoming red fireballs into fragments.

Several thick Green Vines broke through the earth and headed straight for Liu Biao.

Just as Liu Biao was about to dodge, a sharp screech sounded, and his head felt heavy; his reaction delayed, the Green Vines swiftly wrapped around his body.

He struggled forcefully, easily tearing apart the Green Vines.

The Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the ground behind him, its stinger trembling violently, striking Liu Biao’s right leg.

Liu Biao felt a pinprick sensation in his right leg, frowned, and just as he was about to deal with the Iron Tail Scorpion, a giant fireball fell from the sky, heading straight for him.

Liu Biao had no choice but to swing his black staff, smashing it against the giant fireball.

A thunderous roar ensued as the staff collided with the giant fireball, instantly exploding into a sea of roaring flames engulfing Liu Biao’s body.

A burst of black light shone, dispersing the flames.

Liu Biao was protected by a thick, black light barrier.

A green tornado swept toward him, Liu Biao’s expression tightened, and he hurriedly swung his black staff, smashing it against the green tornado.
