Chapter 168: Chapter 65: Sudden Change [Seeking monthly tickets!]_1

"Picking the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower barehanded..."

The white ape pondered for a moment, then let out a chilling sneer.

Even with its naturally strong and robust demon physique, coupled with years of martial arts cultivation, it dared not mention picking the flower barehanded.

Everyone knew that the sword-leafed of the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower could be individually refined into magic artifacts of extraordinary sharpness! Who would dare to even touch them without protective gear?

However, Chu Liang’s attitude confused it. Unless he had some assurance, why would he say such things?

On second thoughts, even if there were any divine skills to enhance the physical body, it certainly wouldn’t be within the grasps of a cultivator of the third realm like him.

He must be bluffing!

He wants to trick it into picking the flower barehanded, get injured, and then consequently lose the power to compete against the Golden Fur Beast.

For a moment, the white ape felt as if it has seen through the opponent’s trick using its wisdom, and a cold smile crawled up its lips.

"Good," it replied, "I admit that I cannot pick this Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower barehanded. If you can, you can take it away. If you’re scared, just leave."

Having made this counter challenge, the white ape predicted that the young man would never dare to accept it.

But to its surprise, Chu Liang softly laughed and agreed, "Good!"

Without a pause, he strode forward!

"Huh?" The ape’s human-like face showed a hint of surprise.

Chu Liang ascended the large rock, gazed at the calf-high Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower surrounded by several seemingly loose but actually sharp leaves.

Just as Lin Bei and the white ape shifted their gazes onto him, he suddenly reached out his two fingers and, like a flash of lightning, clamped onto the flower stem of the Xuan Yang Flower!

Shhh——

Almost simultaneously, Eight long leaves stood erect, transforming into blade-like edges, which could even cut through iron!

Dong!

However, when those sword-like leaves met Chu Liang’s fingers, they made a sound like metal colliding, unable to pinch together!

What?

The white ape’s eyes hardened, unable to believe what just happened.

Even though a monkey’s fingers are strong, each being robust and forceful, not even it could achieve this feat!

Looking closer, those sword leaves had barely dug into Chu Liang’s fingers, but they met a substantial resistance once they touched his bones.

What could be the reason?

Under the confused gaze of the white ape, Chu Liang exerted force with his fingers, plucked the Xuan Yang Flower swiftly, and the hot sap instantly gushed out.

"Thank you." He smiled at the white ape and gracefully landed.

"You..."

The white ape seemed willing but powerless. Especially since Chu Liang was protected by the Golden Fur Beast, it could do him no harm.

Seeing Chu Liang return, Lin Bei walked over and asked, "How did you do that?"

"Hehe." Chu Liang held up his two fingers and swayed them, "My fingers are not ordinary."

The fingers that he had enforced in the Misty Mountain Valley, which he claimed were as hard as rock, were just an understatement. The reality was, under the influence of spirituality, his fingers were much harder than ordinary iron or gold!

The duo didn’t linger for long. While staying vigilant against the white ape’s sudden attack, they left the valley and then flew far away on the Golden Fur Beast.

But little did they know, after their departure, the white ape revealed a chilling glare.

...

After all the hassle, it was already getting late.

Shu Mountain was far from this place. If they flew back, they might reach there deep into the night. Chu Liang and Lin Bei discussed and decided to find a place nearby to settle down for the night and then return to Shu Mountain the next morning.

Mainly because they were near Yanbo City in the Eastern Sea.

The cities of the Eastern region were not the same as those in the Southern region. Every city here was bustling. Although there were fewer cultivators compared to Taotie City, in terms of prosperity, they paled in comparison.

The last time Lin Bei came here, desperate to return and consume the Fire Ginseng Mushroom, there had been no time for leisure. Both of them planned to enjoy a tour around the area this time.

To experience the landscape and culture of the Eastern Region.

But upon reaching the city gate, reality hit them like a bucket of cold water.

"This is a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast, way too ferocious," said the guard, a Martial Arts Cultivator probably of the Second Realm. He was not the least bit scared of the Golden Fur Beast, "By law, it’s not allowed to enter the city."

The Yu Dynasty always prohibited large Demon Beasts from entering mortal cities to ensure the safety of its citizens. Chu Liang and Lin Bei, who are always cultivating on Shu Mountain, did not have mounts before and were therefore unaware of this.

"Ahh..."

Both were greatly disappointed. It was impossible to leave the Golden Fur Beast outside the city while they went in, and they could not let the big guy fly back to Shu Mountain alone either, they were worried about it.

As evening set in, they had no choice but to find an inn outside the city to stay the night.

With the city of Yanbo prohibiting large Demon Beasts, inns outside naturally catered to such Cultivators. The inn they were staying at even had a large courtyard behind the mountain specifically for accommodating these big guys.

The Golden Fur Beast was tied in the courtyard below the building, with dedicated staff at its service. Chu Liang and Lin Bei stayed upstairs to rest.

After all the hassle, it was almost midnight by the time they finally lay down to sleep.

However, before long, a roar was heard! Every demon beast housed in the courtyard was suddenly alarmed!

Chu Liang woke up instantly, recognizing the roar as that of the Golden Fur Beast!

He jumped out of the window in one swift movement, only to see the iron chain around the Golden Fur Beast’s neck had somehow come undone. The big head was now angrily glaring at a diminutive figure who was so scared that they were shaking while sitting on the ground.

What’s more, there was a beheaded body lying next to them, with blood all over the ground.

This is bad.

The scene indicated that the Golden Fur Beast had killed someone. But Chu Liang instantly realized that although the beast behaved ferociously towards strangers, it was a Spirit Beast, not a wild beast.

It would never randomly take human life! Something must have happened.

Not just him, in no time, people started gathering from all directions. This inn was quite full of Cultivators, so a crowd quickly formed.

Seeing more people, the man who was sitting on the ground suddenly felt courageous. He shouted loudly, "This beast is dangerous! This beast eats people! Quickly, call the guards!"

"Roar --"

As the man pointed at the Golden Fur Beast and yelled, he further enraged it. It roared so loudly it was almost strong enough to literally shake the man to death.

"Stop it!" Chu Liang quickly intervened.

The one who is already dead cannot be explained, but if another person were to be killed in front of this crowd, it would be utterly impossible to handle the situation.

"What’s going on?" Lin Bei also came by his side.

Almost all the guests in the inn came out, a lot of them pointing fingers, and some had even gone to report to the authorities. If it wasn’t for the power of the Golden Fur Beast, many would have tried to subdue it by now.

No matter if it was a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast or a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, if you really harm a human life, the Yu Dynasty’s Government Office will not stand for it.

Especially in recent years, it is a great taboo for disciples of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to harm ordinary human beings!

Chu Liang was not sure what had happened, but the current situation clearly did not allow for detailed consideration. He raised his hand, and a red light suddenly wrapped around the man, binding him.

"Watch the door, Golden Fur Beast!" Chu Liang easily lifted up the man who had been bound by the Turtle Shell Binding, "Let’s find out what really happened before the guards get here!"

Watching Chu Liang lift the man and take him into a room, none of the Cultivators in the courtyard dared to step forward or complain due to presence of Golden Fur Beast. These Cultivators were mostly low-realm level, they did not dare to provoke a violent Spirit Beast of the Fifth Realm.

"Chu Liang, what are you doing?" Inside the room, Lin Bei was also very surprised and quite confused about what had just happened. "Isn’t he the victim?"

"I believe that the Golden Fur Beast wouldn’t harm people without a reason," Chu Liang said, frowning, "The priority right now is to quickly clarify the course of events. If he really is a victim, we naturally will not shirk responsibility, but for now ..."

With a thump, he threw the man onto the floor, and said coldly, "I ask, you answer."

As he said this, he simultaneously took a black candle from his pocket, lit it and held it in his hand.

Watching the tightly bound man on the ground, then the candle in Chu Liang’s hand... The Demon Binding Rope, the candle...

Lin Bei couldn’t help but feel a shiver run along his spine.

Had Chu Liang’s skills already reached an incredible level that he himself would exclaim at?
