Chapter 152: Chapter 50: Arrest on the Spot [Request for Monthly Ticket!]_1

"Aw, such a cute little girl."

When Empress Feng saw Luo Yao, she rushed over warmly and naturally petted Luo Yao’s grey hair.

Watching this scene, Chu Liang vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu.

Luo Yao clearly didn’t adapt well to this warmth, backing off subconsciously. She looked at Empress Feng with a complex gaze.

This person came to rescue them, but she just fought with their sect’s elders... It felt strange no matter how she thought about it...

Empress Feng was still nonchalantly asking, "Is this white hair of yours natural or acquired? Which Immortal Sect are you practising in? What’s your master’s name?"

Chu Liang quickly pulled his master over and said, "This secret realm is extremely weird, master, we should leave as soon as possible."

"Eh?" Empress Feng asked, "Aren’t we going to explore here..."

"Let’s get out first, there’s nothing good here. I’ll explain more to you when we get back."

Chu Liang, through coaxing and tricking, finally persuaded Empress Feng to leave this place.

After all, as per the scholar’s words, everyone would fall asleep after an hour. Even if the master could resist it, if she was allowed to rampage through this secret realm, it would inevitably disturb the scholar... his insistence on not spreading the information about this place outside probably reflects his desire to not be disturbed.

So it would be better to leave with the master.

When they arrived, there were two guides from the Demon Cult leading the way, with a group of experts forming a team. Yet they still encountered numerous difficulties and had to walk slowly. But upon departure, Empress Feng was the only protector.

Empress Feng arrived at a very fast speed and the ghosts outside the secret realm didn’t get a chance to emerge. Once they left the secret realm, they saw dense fog rolling in.

The ghost of an old man holding an ancient book came floating in the air, seemingly hostile, and was about to lament the fall of his country, "Nine States.... "

"Where did this old ghost come from?" Empress Feng gave him a stern look.

Killer intent flickered.

The ghost of the old man, who once terrified two guides, instantly halted, turned and walked away without getting close, reciting, "...It’s a joy to have friends from afar."

Only then did Empress Feng retract her menacing gaze and stop quarrelling with him.

The mist below was rolling, and the six ghost dragons had already revealed their forms, bellowing. Their intelligence was obviously not as fully developed as that of the old man, and they hadn’t sensed the change in the atmosphere at the scene.

Empress Feng sank her body downwards, a blaze of light directly stepping on the head of the leading ghost dragon.

Boom—

The ghost dragon, who had been wandering here for an unknown amount of time, had its evil life ended instantly. Its head exploded, and the huge fiery wave of heat burned the rest of its gigantic body.

The whole Misty Mountain Valley of the Dream Abyss seemed to boil, and a vast wave of heat surged up.

The remaining five ghost dragons seemed like they were thrown into boiling hotpot soup, but none of them dared to fly up. Instead, they all sank to the bottom and hid deep, not daring to show their heads again.

With one move, Empress Feng killed one ghost dragon and came back to the three of them before even gasping for breath.

"Let’s go," she said lightly to them.

The three, including Chu Liang, shivered a little, then obediently followed her into the mist... just as docile as three little ducklings following their mother duck.

Chu Liang vaguely heard Monk Pu Shan behind him murmuring, "So terrifying, so terrifying..."

This journey was incredibly fast, and they soon flew out of the misty valley, leaving Zhennan Region’s Mountain.

Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan both thanked her simply, then agreed to stay in touch with Chu Liang before going home on their own. Especially Luo Yao, after seeing Empress Feng’s dragon head blasting kick, became particularly worried about her own elder’s safety.

Chu Liang and his master flew back to Shu Mountain, without much to say.

However, as soon as they landed on Silver Sword Peak, they saw Liu Xiaoyu running over anxiously, shouting, "Little Jin was caught!"

"What?"

...

As for Golden Fur Beast, it was his bad luck.

Previously, the people in Pill Furnace Hall noticed that the food intake of the Baize Cubs had increased drastically and so they increased the amount of food. But they also reported this matter.

The Pill Furnace Elder had been refining a great elixir in seclusion those days and didn’t have time to deal with this. But yesterday, he came out of seclusion. Hearing that the Baize Cubs were about to break through, he was delighted.

Running to Guard Peak on a cloud, he didn’t see any signs of the Baize Cubs breaking through. Nothing had changed at all!

This was a serious issue.

It didn’t matter if the Divine Beast didn’t break through, but the main problem was that it couldn’t eat that much food. Where did all the extra spiritual medicine go? You must know, all the Spirit Feeding Pills that Shu Mountain fed to the Baize Cubs were of the highest quality, and this quantity was quite valuable.

The first response of the Pill Furnace Elder was that a disciple had stolen the extra Spirit Feeding Pills. So he maintained his composure and returned to the Pill Furnace Hall.

But he had been secretly monitoring Guard Peak from afar, using the Immortal Law of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing, hoping to catch the perpetrator red-handed.

However, he didn’t catch any disciples stealing Spirit Feeding Pills. All he caught was a big head that wildly jumped into the elixir pool.

He immediately apprehended it, caught right in the act with the stolen goods.

The Pill Furnace Elder immediately grabbed the Golden Fur Beast and took it to the Pill Furnace Hall. It was said that Big Head, realizing that it was about to be captured, didn’t resist the slightest bit. Instead, it was frantically stuffing Spirit Feeding Pills into its mouth, stashing them in its puffed cheeks.

Hearing Little Yi finish, Chu Liang fell into deep thought.

Damn, it was caught.

When he had left Shu Mountain, he was somewhat worried. Given Big Head’s style of living life with reckless abandon, it might expose itself without him keeping an eye on it. Now his worry had come true.

This was a serious matter, being caught by the Pill Furnace Elder.

Bang!

Just as he was contemplating what to do, Empress Feng slaps the table in anger, and furiously declares, "That old fool actually dares to catch our Spirit Pet of Silver Sword Peak! Doesn’t he know that if he wants to hit the beast, he has to consider who its master is? I’m going to go cause him trouble!"

"Master..." Chu Liang hurriedly stopped her, saying, "We’re not right in this case."

"Then let’s not talk about right or wrong. Can’t we just fight?" Empress Feng said indifferently, "We leverage our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."

Right.

So her understanding of ’playing to one’s strengths and avoiding weaknesses’ means exploiting reason when you’re right and avoiding reason and resorting to force when you’re wrong.

"It hasn’t come to that point yet..." Chu Liang had no choice but to persuade, "Let’s go see what happened first, perhaps we could negotiate."

"Alright, then let’s talk to them first," Empress Feng agreed.

"Yes, courtesy first and then force," Chu Liang said.

Immediately, the master and disciple stormed off towards Pill Furnace Hall to rescue... er, the beast.

In a vast open space behind the Pill Furnace Hall, there were several large iron cages, similar to the ones previously seen in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. Several large demon beasts are confined there, and there are boards attached to each cage.

There was an exotic beast that looked like a cross between a horse and a lamb, with dragon-like horns, which was sleeping inside a cage. The board outside the cage read, "Urinating and defecating everywhere, tarnishing Shu Mountain."

A huge blue-scaled snake was also coiled inside a cage. The board outside says, "Stole precious Spirit Bird eggs."

The cage next door contains the Golden Fur Beast, which appeared to have no sense of being imprisoned and was clanking its teeth against the cage in what seemed to be excitement. It seemed to have finally found its long-lost chew toy and was probably feeling right at home. The board outside its cage read, "Theft of Spirit Beast Food."

It was a Shu Mountain convention that if spirit pets from all the peaks commit violations under unattended circumstances, they are imprisoned here, waiting for their masters to retrieve them.

For minor offenses, providing some Sword Coins as a penalty and mild punishment would allow the beasts to be collected.

There were disciples from the Pill Furnace Hall standing guard. As soon as Chu Liang landed, he went over and asked, "Senior Brother, how much is the fine to redeem the Golden Fur Beast?"

"Let me see..." The disciple lowered his head to check the book, then raised his head and said, "Eight thousand."

"Huh?" Chu Liang was taken aback.

"What did you say?!" As soon as Empress Feng heard this, she jumped forward. The intensity in her demeanor scared the deacon disciple, almost knocking him off his feet.

He trembled as he spoke, "This... this is how it is, the beast was personally brought by Elder Pill Furnace, he set the penalty."

"Steal a few of your lousy elixirs and you want this many Sword Coins? Might as well go rob a bank!" Empress Feng shouted.

"Elder Pill Furnace mentioned that the Golden Fur Beast has been... pulling the wool over the eyes of the Guardian Divine Beast of Zhenshan, which is a very serious violation..." The disciple stuttered in explanation, his eyes seemingly on the brink of tears.

"Call Elder Pill Furnace out!" Empress Feng decided not to bully the small and gave a dismissive wave of her hand, ordering him to summon the person in question.

"Yes..." The deacon disciple felt like he had been pardoned, quickly turning around to leave.

At this moment, a light laughter echoed through the air.

"No need, I’ve already arrived." A pristine white figure floated in, devoid of any dust.

The person had white hair and youthful face, clear and thin facial features, and a body like an ancient pine. He appeared to be the epitome of a Daoist immortal cultivator.

It was the Pill Furnace Elder, one of the four revered Zhenshan elders of Shu Mountain. An individual who belonged in the same generation as the Shu Mountain Head Master, one could say he was one of the most powerful figures in Shu Mountain. His status in the Immortal Cultivation world was extremely high.

As Chu Liang looked at this elder, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. As a mere disciple, he rarely had opportunities to interact with high-ranking individuals like the four revered Zhenshan elders, let alone that this time he was caught stealing from Shu Mountain.

His guilt was slightly getting the better of him.

Then he saw Empress Feng, facing Elder Pill Furnace, boldly shout, "You old man, you’ve got some nerve!"

Chu Liang’s heart jolted a little.

She was so righteous!
