Chapter 221: Chapter 14 Senior Dugu [Request for monthly ticket!]_1

When Yi Qiushui had just arrived, Chu Liang felt a bit panicked inside.

That was because the Demon Sect had one more ace, and his Beheading Red Famous Sword could only deal with Chen Wuyin, not Yi Qiushui.

Once he exposed himself, he would definitely become the primary target of both of them. No matter what troubles there were between these two Demon Sect Cultivators, they would certainly kill him, a cultivator of the Righteous Path who came out of the secret chamber, first.

After they started fighting, Chu Liang caught his breath a bit, hoping they would both be injured. He didn’t aim to benefit from their fight, only to escape with his life.

Who would have guessed that despite the ongoing fight neither of them would get hurt, but the wall was about to break first. If this wall collapsed, he would be exposed.

Chu Liang made up his mind, he had to fight his way out!

He raised his hand to collect the Golden Skull containing the Sheepskin Ancient Scroll, and swallowed a Concealing Origin Pill, then put on the Concealment Robe. All of this just in time to rush out with a sword before the wall completely collapsed!

Chen Wuyin, is it?

Sect Master of Soul Slaughter Sect, is it?

The Immortal Law of Self Sacrifice Replacement, is it?

As long as the Beheading Red Famous Sword sets its sight on you, then you should be ready to atone for your past sins, retaliation is not absent, just the time has not come!

That heavenly sword strike, aided by Yi Qiushui, was able to instantly kill Chen Wuyin.

The smoke cleared.

Only Chu Liang and Yi Qiushui were left on the scene, silent for a while.

Chu Liang evinced a sense of dread towards the Demon Princess, Yi Qiushui, because the Beheading Red Famous Sword showed no interest in her, his only fighting chance was to invoke Old Fei; but didn’t Yi Qiushui also hold him in awe?

The shocking strike just now, she speculated that if she were the one to take it, she would probably have been killed instantly as well. Who could this mysterious, cloaked figure be?

After a pause, Chu Liang took the initiative to speak, saying: "Girl, don’t panic, I won’t kill you."

Seizing the initiative, he instantly raised his aura.

Yi Qiushui glanced back at the secret chamber behind the wall. Could this cloaked figure have been there watching all along?

She asked softly: "I didn’t know Senior was here, I hope I did not offend you."

"No harm done." Chu Liang intentionally lowered his tone, speaking slowly: "The events of today are a secret, I should have exterminated both of you, but because of a connection I have with your master, I only made a move against him. You better leave quickly before I change my mind."

Hearing his words, Yi Qiushui immediately wanted to leave this dangerous area, but after thinking for a moment, she responded: "I appreciate your mercy, Senior! Since you have a connection with my master, may I know your name? I will inform her and she can thank you in person."

"After seeing that strike, you still didn’t recognize who I am?" Chu Liang suddenly asked, somewhat perplexed.

"I’ve only been practicing for over 30 years and haven’t been very active in the world... Please forgive me, Senior." Yi Qiushui quickly apologized.

"Hahaha!" Chu Liang suddenly laughed heartily, "Don’t blame yourself! Having lived in seclusion in the mountains for several decades... People have already forgotten the name of the Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai! It’s truly lamentable!"

"Oh, it’s Senior Dugu!" Yi Qiushui’s eyes brightened, "I remember hearing my master mention your name when I was very young!"

"Oh really?" A smirk appeared on Chu Liang’s face in the shadows, he suddenly asked, "What did she mention about me?"

"Um..." Yi Qiushui paused as if recalling, and then said: "It’s been many years and I can’t remember clearly, but in general, she said she very much admired Senior’s practice way..."

"Huh, so she still remembers me." Chu Liang shook his head with a sigh, and followed with a reminder, "About today’s matter, it’s okay to mention it to your master when you go back. But remember not to tell anyone else, understood?"

"Yes!" Yi Qiushui quickly agreed.

"The news of my return to the Mortal Realm would surely bring about a storm of bloodshed." Chu Liang murmured, "I shouldn’t let anyone know about my whereabouts..."

Hearing his murmur, Yi Qiushui felt a little scared, and immediately said: "Then humble me dare not disturb you, I will leave immediately!"

Having said that, her body transformed into a red light and quickly left the cave.

He left at a pace that was ten times quicker than when he came.

After she had left, Chu Liang wasn’t sure if she really left, or if she was secretly watching him. So he calmly strode away from this Water Mansion.

While he was walking, he was reciting: "The world’s turbulence springs from our kind, as soon as one enters the underworld, the years press on..."

The tone was firm and spirited, full of heroic spirit!

...

Yi Qiushui flew over the land of a state as a rainbow light, arriving next to a Crimson Lake on top of a high mountain.

"Master! Your disciple has returned!" she called out loudly.

Soon after, bubbles abruptly erupted in the center of the lake, followed by green tiles and red walls slowly emerging from the water. After a while, an entire pavilion seemingly emerged from the lake!

The immense pavilion surged out from the center of the lake, and finally stayed stable on its surface, as if the lake was a solid measurement.

Then, a voice came from within, "Come in."

Only then did Yi Qiushui enter the pavilion. In the center of the pavilion sat a woman with loose hair and a strikingly bright red dress. She sat with her back facing Yi Qiushui, looking at herself in a mirror.

The entire hall was exceptionally resplendent. All the eye could see was red, a dazzling sight.

Yi Qiushui immediately lowered her head, not daring to glance at the mirror.

It was said that the Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace of the Underworld King Sect was a Fierce Ghost. Whoever dared to look at her would surely die a violent death that night!

"Did you fail?"

Before Yi Qiushui could speak, the Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace had already spoken.

"I am inept! Please punish me, master!" Yi Qiushui immediately kneeled down.

"Don’t panic, tell me what happened." The Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace calmly replied while combing her hair, "You should have been capable of dealing with Chen Wuyin, was there an unforeseen situation?"

"Yes," said Yi Qiushui, "After Chen Wuyin opened the cave of Murderous Old Man, disciple fought him but a mysterious man in black suddenly appeared and killed Chen Wuyin with a single stroke! He said he should have killed me as well, but he let me go as he shares a past connection with you, Master."

"Connected with me?" The Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace suddenly paused, apparently thinking of something, "The reason I told you to steal the Shenxu Ruins Picture Scroll was indeed for someone...If he has taken it himself, it’s highly possible. After his lengthy disappearance, has he finally reappeared in the Mortal Realm..."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Yi Qiushui instantly nodded and said: "That senior said that his return to the Mortal Realm was very secretive, and if exposed, it would inevitably result in a bloody storm. Therefore, it was necessary to keep it confidential."

"Of course, it’s confidential. Even the giant Jiang Family back then..." The Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace seemed to recall something. She sighed without finishing her sentence, "Did he say anything about me?"

"He said..." Sensing the anticipation in her tone, Yi Qiushui paused and cautiously said, "He said, Master, you are a person with a purpose."

"Hehe." The Red Clothes Palace Master laughed bitterly, "I’m naturally determined, I just don’t know who lacks determination....Regardless, since the Shenxu Ruins Picture Scroll has come into his hands, it saves a lot of trouble. I just thought that I might have the opportunity to meet him."

She sighed, almost imperceptibly.

Yi Qiushui lowered her eyes and after a long while, she dared to say, "Master, you will definitely have a chance to meet Senior Dugu again."

"Hmm?" The Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace paused, "Who is Senior Dugu?"

"What?" Yi Qiushui was also somewhat puzzled, "Isn’t Master’s reference to Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai?"

"Who is this Sword Demon? And Dugu what Qiubai? Who would dare to choose such a provocative name?" The Palace Master of the Red Clothes Palace suddenly stood up, "Who exactly took the Shenxu Ruins Picture Scroll?"

......

"Achoo!"

Back at the City Warden’s Yamen, Chu Liang suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and returned to his conversation with Shang Ziliang and Lin Bei, "You two will never guess what I just experienced."

"It was too thrilling."
