Chapter 299: Chapter 85: A Hand on the Back of the Head [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Chu Liang’s pupils constricted involuntarily, while Jiang Yuebai’s heart was filled with shock and confusion.

They had never expected that within a small wooden cabin hidden in this secluded valley, they would be able to come into contact with secrets of this caliber.

Chu Liang’s focus was more on the breaking of the Demon Suppression Tower...

Five hundred years ago, the disaster that resulted in the loss of the Divine Artifact, the true reason is still unknown. Could it possibly be related to this?

However, Jiang Yuebai’s attention was fully drawn by the three words – Shenxu Temple.

She had never expected to suddenly see this name here, which awakened memories in her heart.

Quickly, Chu Liang flipped to the next page, only to find that the following pages were empty, with jagged edges, as if ripped off.

"The last page... It’s been torn off..." He spoke slowly, "But the information given beforehand is already quite plenty."

Using the phrases and sentences from the previous pages, they could vaguely piece together the life story of the disciple from Shu Mountain.

He had few friends in his youth on Shu Mountain, and everyone was reluctant to interact with him. He was also rebellious and often punished by his Master.

To be ranked second during Master Wuqi’s prime era indicates that this person had top-tier talents.

Later, he discovered some things.

His mother was buried beneath the Demon Suppression Tower... It indicated she was definitely not a human.

Was this predecessor a half-demon?

It is said that children born from the union between humans and demons are half-demons. They might lean towards either human or demon characteristics, but in the end, they would eventually transform into demons.

The reason being the intensity of demon blood far surpasses that of human blood. Common belief says that even a single drop of demon blood would make one tilt towards the Demonic Clan. Even if once in human form, they would very likely end up turning into a demon.

For some reason, Shu Mountain took in this half-demon child.

Then, someone informed him how to break the Demon Suppression Tower...

"The Demon Suppression Tower is the number one Divine Artifact, how could it possibly be broken..." Chu Liang muttered, "Could this person have been tricking him?"

"If it were somewhere else, he might have been tricked. But if it concerns the Shenxu Temple..." Jiang Yuebai’s eyes conveyed her confusion, "it might be true."

"Doesn’t that exceed the Ninth Realm?" Chu Liang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Being able to break the number one Divine Artifact in the Mortal Realm was a feat not even a Ninth-tiered Demon God could achieve!

He didn’t know much about Shenxu Temple, only some rumors and trivial information widely spread in the world. However, it was clear that Jiang Yuebai knew more and had some connections to it.

Previously, when she had mentioned her background, she had also mentioned Shenxu Temple but didn’t delve too deep into it.

There was always a sense of fear when it came to it.

"The Jiang family once had more than one cultivator at the Eighth Realm, their strength was at least comparable to the top-tier fighters of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect." Jiang Yuebai said, "However, after that battle, all the strong fighters perished, leading to the complete destruction of the Jiang family... "

Chu Liang remained silent for a few seconds.

Accordingly, the Jiang family used to have an entity of Tianyuan level, their top-tier fighters were at least comparable to the current Shu Mountain. But without raising even the slightest ripples, they were suddenly wiped out from existence.

If this formidable entity truly had the power to break the Demon Suppression Tower, it wouldn’t be so surprising...

"Yet, this entity always stays hidden within Shenxu Temple. I wonder why." Chu Liang mused.

"I’ve been investigating Shenxu Temple these past few years, and I’ve found..." Jiang Yuebai spoke slowly, "It’s said that cultivators in their Ninth Realm tend to enter Shenxu Temple when their lifespan is about to run out. Those who didn’t, all perished in mythological-level wars... In these battles, the shadow of Shenxu Temple is seemingly present. But, historical records about these divine wars have been wiped out. Only some local legends passed down by word of mouth are left, like the ancient Evil God of the Southern Region..."

What?

The ancient Evil God of the Southern Region was the one that formed Zhennan Region’s Mountain. This Evil God led countless Evil Demons and was defeated by a mountain that fell down from the Immortal Realm.

Chu Liang had, of course, heard of it but hadn’t paid much attention to this overly exaggerated ancient legend.

Could it be true?

At this, he suddenly remembered the murals he had seen in the Black Dragon Secret Realm. The small human-like figures that appeared in the final battle with the Dragon God...

Boom!

...

He didn’t get much time to think about it. Suddenly, there was a loud impacts coming from the other side of the mountain. After two continuous sounds, the entire mountainside exploded.

A black-robed man, fierce-looking with only half his body remaining, charged in. His eyes were blood-red: "So you’re hiding here, you almost escaped!"

Seeing him storm into the valley, Chu Liang immediately shouted, "Old Fei! It’s time for you to work!"

Upon seeing the smoke, a haggard-looking Old Fei emerged: "My young lord, this isn’t something I can handle!"

"Both of you are half a Sixth Realm being. He has only an outer half left, you have an inner half left. How can’t you handle this?" Chu Liang said, "Just hold firm for a while."

After summoning Old Fei, he didn’t hesitate. He raised his hand towards the sky and called out.

Whoosh Whoosh——

A purple and a green sword light came flying!

Now, within the boundaries of Shu Mountain, he could summon the Purple Green Double Swords with a mere thought!

Old Fei also had to gather his strength and fly out of the wooden house. He spoke with a loud voice, "If you want to harm Chu Liang, you have to pass me first!"

Having said that, he pointed at the man in the black robe, "Within a ten-foot radius, you cannot approach!"

Immortal Law, one word, one law!

The power of this Taoist Immortal Law is known to all. With this command, the black-robed man got stuck ten feet away, unable to get any closer.

But, the black-robed man responded with a sinister laugh and raised his hand to make a throwing gesture towards the front!

Whoosh——-

A phantom of a long spear appeared out of thin air, passing through Old Fei’s soul instantly!

"Ahh——" Old Fei shrieked, his soul form was immediately pinned to a mountain wall dozens of feet away, teetering on the verge of collapse!

Even though his combat power at this moment was comparable to a peak cultivator of the Sixth Realm, it was still far less. Even though the man in the black robe had been heavily injured, Old Fei was completely unable to compete against him.

Even though Old Fei was defeated, the power of his spoken word still lingered, preventing the man in the black robe from moving forward. The man lifted his hand, and bang——

The entire wooden house instantaneously disintegrated, revealing Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai inside. Except this time, Chu Liang was surrounded by two purple and green sword lights.

"Heh, I don’t believe you can still wield the Green Thread Sword," the man in the black robe coldly stated.

He had just witnessed Chu Liang drain all his Qi Sea with one swing of the sword. How could one recover from such a depletion so quickly?

Chu Liang looked at the man in the black robe strangely, seemingly not understanding his confidence.

This time, he held a sword technique with both hands.

Not only can I wield the Green Thread Sword, but I can also use the Zi Ying Sword... Chu Liang murmured in a low voice, "Double Sword Harmonization——"

Whoosh whoosh——

Two divine swords instantly sliced through the air, spinning and intertwining. They emitted a divine light as if accompanied by the sound of heavenly gates opening.

Not just the man in the black robe, even Jiang Yuebai standing to the side was stunned.

He had learned the sword technique of the Zi Ying Sword so quickly? Not only had he learned it, but mastering the double sword harmonization was several times more challenging than wielding any one of the divine swords individually.

He could actually do it?

The speed of Chu Liang’s progress never ceased to surprise her.

With cold eyes, Chu Liang controlled the two swords.

During this time, he had indeed mastered the sword technique of the Zi Ying Sword, because the two sword techniques had many similarities. After mastering one, the second was a little bit easier.

He chose to use "double sword harmonization" out of desperation. As he had seen earlier, even wielding a divine sword with his current cultivation, he might not necessarily be able to kill the man in the black robe.

If he missed with one strike, he would lose his combat power instantly. Jiang Yuebai would then be left alone to face this man, her life threat dangling in uncertainty.

That’s why he forcibly initiated the double sword harmonization!

Boom——

Witness the two swords fused together, with inexhaustible rainbow light. The world seemed to tremble under divine punishment! A dazzling divine light descended from the sky, carrying a destiny-like force of execution!

The man in the black robe was unable to dodge, he felt a chill from the depths of his soul!

This was the might of a divine sword!

Fleeing to the ends of the earth would be futile; once targeted, death was inevitable!

It’s here!

Zoom bang——

The brilliant rainbow light exploded above the man’s head, like a grand fireworks display, causing his pupils to dilate in shock.

Then, amidst the fireworks, voices could be heard.

"You lost control after seventy-two bows, kid," this was the voice of the Xiong Jian.

"Don’t blame the kid, it was his first time, and he was able to hold on for so long, he did well," responded the Ci Jian.

"So what should we do now? He definitely can’t do it again," Xiong Jian said.

Chu Liang was seen sitting limply on the ground, with a wry smile on his face, looking completely drained.

In the final moment of the double sword harmonization, his control had suddenly crumbled.

The reason might be that it was his first time wielding such immense power, far beyond his own realm. The feeling was indescribable, the slightest lapse would cause him to lose control.

Had he another chance, he would probably fare much better. But, there wasn’t another chance.

The man in the black robe, having just experienced such terror, was once again consumed by rage. He glared at Chu Liang. This Fourth Realm ant had startled him quite too many times.

He must flay him alive!

Only that could soothe his anger!

Just as he was about to take action and slaughter the two people in front of him, suddenly, he felt someone’s hand on his head.

A hand was on the back of his head?

Ah?

Who could have suddenly reached him, unnoticed?

His divine sense swept over, only to see a tall woman in red, holding his head with one hand, breathing a sigh of relief: "I’m glad I made it."

Seeing the figure of this woman, Chu Liang let out a sigh of relief. Earlier, he had sent the Green Thread Sword to Tontian Peak to call for backup.

Xu Ziyang and Ling Ao had also returned, but they couldn’t find his location. The Green Thread Sword, however, could lock onto his position at any time in Shu Mountain based on the essence connection, making it easier to rescue.

When the Green Thread Sword returned, it should have been able to guide the rescuers to him.

His master had indeed arrived.

It was Empress Feng who descended from the sky, grabbing the head of the man in the black robe with one hand.

The strong sense of impending death once again surged up in his heart. With such an easy control over him, she must be enormously powerful, capable of taking his life in a blink of an eye! The man in the black robe felt that he could not resist. Any movement of his True Qi could provoke her to kill him instantly. He could only raise his hand and yell, "Don’t kill me, let’s talk about it!"

"Hmph." Empress Feng sneered.

Purple-gold flames spread in an instant, burning the man in the black robe to nothing, without leaving a trace of ashes.

"Talk to your mother."
