Chapter 139: Chapter 37 Get Started Directly [Monthly Ticket Plus Update] _1
"Does Miss Luo have any deeper understanding of the Underworld King Sect?" Chu Liang asked, "I know very little about it. If you have any information, perhaps we can share what we know."
Regardless, discovering that "Sixty" was Luo Yao made him feel rather cheerful.
While Sanjue Valley’s reputation within the righteous path might not be the best, it was nevertheless one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, a legitimate and reputable faction. Among the villains of the Underworld King Sect, she remained Chu Liang’s steadfast ally.
The two put on their helmets and returned to the cave, their conversation flowing much more smoothly than before.
"I don’t really know much either..." Luo Yao said, "All I know is that under the Purple Gold Marquis, there is a hierarchical management structure. The Purple Gold Marquis solely governs the Guide Envoys; he doesn’t know the Earth Slaying Envoys well. Guide Envoys only supervise their subordinates, the Earth Slaying Envoys, and are not familiar with the Soul Enforcers. However, even the higher-ups have limited contact with their subordinates. They previously only offered sacrifices of living souls to the Purple Gold Marquis during the monthly Soul Collection Conference. Besides that, there wasn’t much interaction."
"That certainly makes it easier for us to infiltrate them." Chu Liang replied.
"Indeed, the only ones within the entire Underworld King Sect who might recognize us are the Earth Slaying Envoys assigned to us." Said Luo Yao: "Hence, our plan upon entering the mountain is to find a way to eliminate them, then no one will be able to find us."
She pondered for a moment, then said to Chu Liang, "Sanjue Valley has some Divine Skills that are similar to the Underworld King Sect’s, such as the Ghost Control Technique. Therefore, it’s relatively easy for me to disguise myself. However, you must try to conceal your unique lineage as much as possible when you act."
"I understand." Chu Liang was naturally also considering this, and he knew that he would need to adapt accordingly at the appropriate time.
"Furthermore, the elders in my Valley believe that for this mission, the longer we can remain concealed, the better." Luo Yao continued: "Given the large-scale mobilization of the South Route Guide, they must have found something valuable within the Zhennan Region’s Mountain that warrants such risk. Our plan is to act when the treasure is secured, catching them all in one fell swoop. Until then, we should try to remain hidden as much as possible."
Chu Liang nodded, "Agreed."
This thought aligns with his. However, he couldn’t tell her that his master was also waiting outside, as it might lead to internal disputes. They would have to wait until the treasure was found, and the elders from both sides arrived, to decide who the treasure belongs to.
Nevertheless.
He didn’t know how strong the elder from Sanjue Valley was, but he guessed they probably wouldn’t be as strong as his master.
"Moreover, the disciples of the Underworld King Sect mainly use soul summoning and soul refining techniques, so their physical bodies are relatively weak. Therefore, The Forbidden Land is an excellent choice when dealing with them. From what I have seen, you have a formidable physical body, so we might have an opportunity to work together." Luo Yao added.
It dawned on Chu Liang.
That’s why she started by using the Forbidden Land techniques.
Her physical body wasn’t particularly strong, but she possessed a highly proficient skill in secret weapons, combined with her gu and poison techniques, her attacks were lethal.
If he were to combine this with his Ten Tigers’ Power and Brick Fighting techniques, their collaboration would be like combining a mage and a warrior, complementing each other. Unless they had to face a martial artist of Yun Chaoxian’s level, they would be a formidable force against anyone else.
Chu Liang took out a Concealing Origin Pill and handed it to Luo Yao.
"Miss Luo, this is a Concealing Origin Pill. It can mask the fluctuations of True Qi during a fight." Chu Liang said, "Keep it. It may come in handy later."
He handed over the pill, partly because Luo Yao had been prudent and forthright with him, and as he had no particular information to exchange, this token served to demonstrate his sincerity.
Luo Yao didn’t hesitate to accept. Clearly aware of how precious the Concealing Origin Pill was now, she gratefully accepted it. This softened her gaze considerably when looking at Chu Liang.
When it came to gaining favor in advance, Chu Liang had always been generous.
...
The two stayed in the cave for a while longer. Although Luo Yao wasn’t much of a talker, Chu Liang’s timely banter made their conversation rather harmonious.
As evening was drawing near, the Soul Summoning Order vibrated, delivering another message.
[Fifty Nine]: "Have you two met up yet? I’ll be there soon. Are we still meeting in the Wolf Tail Forest?"
After reading the message, Chu Liang didn’t respond immediately; instead, he turned to Luo Yao and asked, "Do we stay here?"
Luo Yao nodded softly, "Yes."
"Alright." Chu Liang said, "We’ll try to get information out of him first, then as we discussed, I’ll follow your lead."
The two quickly discussed their plan to meet "Fifty Nine".
[Fifty Eight]: "Meet at the Black Rock pile in Wolf Tail Forest, it is still there."
[Sixty]: "Correct."
[Shu]: "Very well, I was worried that the two of you might clash when you first meet. When the three of you gather, it should be safe. Tomorrow morning, I will arrive, and then I will take you to meet the Guide Envoy."
Indeed, the dilemma of backstabbing was something that everyone in the Demon Cult had to worry about.
Not long after, a figure darted into the cave entrance, accompanied by a voice of surprise, "Ah! You’re really here, I’ve finally found you."
Chu Liang and Luo Yao had perceived this early on. When they looked over, they saw a figure in a black robe, a hood hiding its face, the presence completely concealed...
Once again, they were wearing the same clothes.
Chu Liang was already numb to it.
This "Fifty Nine" didn’t seem to be someone who kept up their guard, so he should be able to extract some information from him.
Thinking this, Chu Liang pointed to a nearby stone stool, "Sit."
"Ah, finally able to sit for a moment, I’m exhausted, you have no idea how far I’ve traveled these past few days. I even thought I would be the first to arrive, but who would’ve thought I’m still the last..."
Without having to coax him, "Fifty Nine" immediately started to chatter nonstop, recounting his difficult journey.
Chu Liang listened carefully for a while, but found there was no useful information...
So, he found an opportunity to interrupt "Fifty Nine" and asked again, "Have you had any significant gains lately?"
Since the Seventy-two Soul-Seizing Masters were all collecting souls for the Purple Gold Marquis, such a question was not strange.
Upon hearing this, "Fifty Nine" immediately laughed, "Haha, speaking of this, I just have to tell you about my experiences these past few months. First, I was in Hundred Flowers City..."
"Then, I went to Night Travel City..."
"And then to Jinse City..."
"And like that, I gained absolutely nothing."
In the end, he helplessly spread his hands.
Chu Liang’s face showed a look of exasperation, how did this man manage to say nothing of use and yet talk for half an hour?
It was a waste of time to ask him questions.
He couldn’t help but turn to look at Luo Yao, indicating perhaps they should just take action instead of asking questions?
Luo Yao gave an almost imperceptible nod, her poise seemed to suggest, I’ve been unable to endure him for a long time now.
How could anyone be so noisy?
With a common understanding, Luo Yao stood up and said, "Earlier I found a valley on that hillside, it seems to be hiding Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, who will accompany me to take a look?"
Chu Liang glanced left and right, "Now that we are all together, we should not separate. Why don’t we go together."
"Let’s go together then." To his surprise, "Fifty Nine" got up abruptly, without showing any hints of reservation. He even seemed full of anticipation, "Even if we don’t find any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, it’s good for us to get some exercise."
Looking at his sincere demeanor, Chu Liang couldn’t help but wonder if this man was really part of the Demon Cult... could there be someone like this in the Demonic Path?
He was as naive as a blank sheet of paper.
Chu Liang and Luo Yao, accompanied by "Fifty Nine", left the cave. They walked along the familiar path, over the hills. After a while, "Fifty Nine" seemed to realize something wasn’t right.
"That doesn’t look like there’s a valley there, is it?" he asked.
Before his words fell.
A "crack" sound came from the air again.
The Forbidden Land descended once more!
