Chapter 309: Chapter 94 Crime Scene [Seeking Monthly Passes!]_1

"I only just had him testing the effectiveness of my Defense Artifact!" Chu Liang reiterated.

"Right." Lin Bei also quickly nodded, "We’re just ordinary friends."

Please keep your mouth shut... Chu Liang was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Fine." Daoist Yan casually nodded, appearing indifferent, as if he didn’t care much about the matter.

Chu Liang was on the verge of tears. Saying anything more would only make him look guiltier. He quickly changed the subject: "Uncle Yan, is there something you wanted to ask me?"

Daoist Yan glanced at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei immediately got the hint and said: "I’m a bit tired. Going to rest a bit. See you later."

With that, he left the awkward mountain peak as quickly as smoke.

Only then did Daoist Yan say to Chu Liang: "I heard that you met Immortal Qi Jing?"

"To be precise, it wasn’t really a meeting... The senior just transmitted a message to me and passed True Qi to me using the Universe Longevity Great Divine Power." Chu Liang answered truthfully.

"So you don’t know where he has been?" Daoist Yan asked.

"I..." Chu Liang paused for a moment before answering: "While I don’t know where he was when he transmitted the message, I believe he had come to my Silver Sword Peak."

With that, he pointed to the plantation not far off.

"Here?" Daoist Yan floated over and appeared beside the plantation.

She stared silently for a moment, then raised her fingers, and with a turn of her finger gesture, a hazy glow rose from the ground, quickly enveloping the entire plantation.

Only then did Chu Liang realize what she was doing.

Immortal Law, Bright Light Mirror Image.

Jiang Yuebai once used this Immortal Law on the battle stage as a powerful Illusion Technique. But when this law is cultivated to a profound level, it can not only transform the scene the user sees, but also replay the recent events that occurred at a location.

Probably very few people in Nine Heavens and Ten Lands have cultivated the Bright Light Mirror Image to such a level of proficiency. It’s surprising that Daoist Yan can do it.

People only know that her Sword Dao is divine, but few know that her Illusion Technique is also superb.

This is also related to her usual low-profile demeanor. Chu Liang just found out that she was the Chief of the Golden Generation of Shu Mountain sixty years ago.

It’s not surprising no matter how strong she is.

Immortal Qi Jing had not been gone for long, and it seems that Daoist Yan was trying to see him by means of this technique.

Whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of faint light enveloped the plantation, scenes like a mirage flashing upon it.

Daoist Yan’s eyes sparkled, seemingly anticipating something.

Then she saw it...

A middle-aged woman leading a young boy and a puppy hesitantly approached the edge of the orchard before quickly letting the boy go.

She invoked her divine power to harvest a large batch of Spirit Plants in no time, while shouting something.

It seemed that she was telling the boy to eat as much as he could while no one was around.

The scene was rather absurd.

"..."

Silence.

A long silence.

It turned out that Uncle Yan was helping him re-enact the crime scene. Well, this approach could indeed be effective in solving a case if used by the authorities.

But after a moment of silence, Chu Liang quickly came to understand that Immortal Qi Jing and that little girl were currently wanted by Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. It would make sense for them to disguise themselves on Shu Mountain.

Especially the scene where the little girl rushed into the berry field and gorged herself. Who else could do that other than that little Disaster Demon?

So he began to explain: "Senior Qi Jing might have disguised himself..."

"I know." Daoist Yan cut him off: "This is him."

Chu Liang knew that she wasn’t referring to Immortal Qi Jing, but their mutual acquaintance, Jiang Tiankuo, and he asked quietly: "Uncle Yan, are you certain?"

"No matter how a person’s appearance and shape change, their look and temperament won’t." Daoist Yan had a distant look in her eyes, as if she was thinking of something far away.

Chu Liang stared at the illusion for a while, thinking to himself - what temperament could she possibly see?

Just a woman snatching fruits.

Watching this scene was a bit infuriating...

But after seeing Immortal Qi Jing stroking the Golden Fur Beast, he firmly believed that the progress of the Beast’s cultivation was indeed related to him.

It seems his way of doing things remained consistent, taking first, then returning something of greater value as compensation, it could be considered an exchange.

It was not until a few moments later, when the two figures, big and small, had feasted and ravaged half of the orchard and disappeared from the scene, that Daoist Yan withdrew his divine skill.

Her gaze was somewhat complicated.

Chu Liang also felt that it should be this way. Anyone who had thought of a person for many years since their youth would inevitably feel conflicted if they saw them for the first time in nearly twenty years, dressed as a woman and stealing fruits...

"I hope you can keep everything about him a secret. If anyone asks about you using the Purple Green Double Swords today, just say that a senior from Shu Mountain helped," Daoist Yan reminded at the end.

Chu Liang nodded and said, "Alright."

...

"You don’t seem to be doing well, do you?"

In an elegant room filled with the sound of a qin, a young master lounged lazily on a couch, watching the figure in front of him, and asked in a sarcastic tone.

He had a handsome appearance with rosy lips, white teeth, dark eyebrows, broad forehead, and at around twenty years old, was quite striking. Dressed in a green robe with a loosely tied belt, he placed his hand under his head, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Behind a screen, a musician played the qin. There were two maids beside him. One was massaging his legs, the other was feeding him green grapes.

"Humph." The figure in front responded with a cold snort.

There was no one opposite him. On careful observation, you would find that a four-inch tall wooden doll was sitting on the desk.

The tiny doll was flexible and lifelike. On closer inspection, the face was that of Lu Chengyou, who had previously been on Shu Mountain!

"Ha." The young master laughed and asked, "How did you end up like this?"

"The plan was leaked. Shu Mountain was prepared," Lu Chengyou answered in a deep voice: "Yunque Temple and Sanjue Valley came to assist. My Ksitigarbha’s True Body was blocked by the Law Lotus Platform. I had hoped to activate the Shu Mountain’s formation to temporarily hold off Wen Yuan so that Tao Wu could attack Baize."

"However, an annoying brat intervened and killed Tao Wu with the Purple Green Double Swords... Thus, the plan was ruined."

"I warned you before that your plan was reckless. The Underworld King Sect has many loose lips, it’s no surprise that the plan leaked. What can you achieve by allying with those demonic cultivators?" The young master shook his head disapprovingly.

"Would you help me if they didn’t?" Lu Chengyou grunted irritably, "Relying on your wooden dolls to gather an army of a hundred thousand?"

"You’re speaking as if you’re not a broken wooden doll right now." The young master sneered.

Lu Chengyou was enraged and had no counterargument, so he grunted in frustration.

"If you’re angry at me, that would be unfair. Among us ’Mars’, who else would treat you like this? I even went to the trouble of carving a body for you. If it were the others with bad tempers, seeing you reduced to this state, wouldn’t they just obliterate you?" the young master laughed.

Lu Chengyou was silent for a while, then said, "Although I’ve suffered a huge loss this time, it’s not all in vain. At least the secret of Shu Mountain hiding Baize is revealed. Someone will eventually want to destroy it. Even though I couldn’t destroy Shu Mountain’s hope myself, I will see that day sooner or later."

"You should try living till that day first," the young master continued his merciless mockery.

"You..." Lu Chengyou clenched his teeth in anger then said, "I still have my insights into the Dao, and even though my body is destroyed and my spirit is lacking, as long as they are willing to assist me, given time, I might be able to return to the peak."

"Keep dreaming." The young master burst his bubble again, "They already told you long ago, the Demon God might return, it’s not the right time to make a move on Shu Mountain and the righteous path. But you were obstinate and even contacted the Demon Sect to make your move."

"..." Lu Chengyou was left speechless by his words, his eyes bulging in anger.

His expression seemed to say, would you only be satisfied if I cried?

"I’m just telling you the truth. I advise you not to contact them for now," the young master shrugged, "You’re no longer the cultivator you used to be, and most of the secrets of Shu Mountain that you knew have already been revealed. You might be silenced directly... I’m serious."

His expression became somewhat serious.

"No, I still know some secrets about Shenxu," Lu Chengyou’s eyes were full of defiance, "I still have a chance to turn things around!"

The young master looked at him, sighed, and suddenly got up to leave the room, "Someone is looking for me, I’ll go out for a while. You can leave on your own once you’ve recovered. If you stay here for too long, I’m afraid those above might trouble me."

As he got up, the two beautiful maids beside him suddenly froze, a flash of light enveloped them, and they too turned into wooden dolls!

He pushed open the door, walked along a footpath surrounding a rockery and a stream, through a gallery, and arrived at the main hall.

Indeed, someone was already waiting for him in the hall. A boy was serving tea, but the guest, covering his wounded shoulder, with one arm missing, and a ghastly pale face, didn’t seem interested in tea.

Only when he saw the young master gracefully arriving did the injured man regain his spirits. He immediately got up, knelt down on one knee and pleaded, "I’ve long heard of Young Master Xunyang’s fame! I came here today to ask for help!"

"You lost an arm? Get up quickly." Young Master Xunyang smiled casually, "No problem, the new arm I’ll carve for you will certainly work better than your real one."

"Thank you, Young Master Xunyang!" The injured man excitedly stood up.

"However, according to the rules..." Young Master Xunyang said, "You owe me a favor."
