Chapter 354: Chapter 38 Why are you so proficient? [Ask for monthly ticket!] _1

"Thank you all."

Chu Liang politely handed a bag of Vermilion Bird Coins to the steward with a big smile, it was heaving to the point that there must be quite a few inside.

"Hey." The steward patted his chest, "It’s our honor to serve Young Hero Chu, no need to be so polite."

While saying there was no need to be polite, he unambiguously accepted the reward.

Turning around, he said to the servants and maids behind him: "Keep this to yourselves when you get back, there will be rewards for you all."

"We shall leave then. If we are successful, we will return to express our thanks." Chu Liang cheerfully responded.

"The young heroes will surely triumph." The steward bid farewell with his hands cupped, very respectfully.

Chu Liang turned around and he, along with Yun Chaoxian, got on the Golden Fur Beast and took off into the air.

"Incredible." Yun Chaoxian said, wide-eyed, "You really have some tricks up your sleeve."

It turns out that Chu Liang had asked the steward of Wuji Mountain Manor to keep an eye on the other three teams.

If the two of them had gone to eavesdrop or stalk, they would have been found out by the other party’s Divine Sense almost immediately and made the other party alert. However, the servants and guards of the Wuji Mountain Manor wouldn’t raise any suspicion if they happened to pass by while on patrol.

Unexpectedly, those martial arts guards had astonishing hearing. They all pricked up their ears and relayed the information they overheard to Chu Liang through the steward.

It’s no wonder that those talented disciples of the Immortal Sect, including Yun Chaoxian who was accompanying Chu Liang, never expected that he could get the staff of Wuji Mountain Manor on his side in such a short time.

"It’s nothing; just throw them some money." Chu Liang laughed, "The real assets were those helpers who could locate the thief from across the city."

Although their clairvoyance, divination, and tracking abilities are not highly precise and can only estimate a direction for a short period of time after an incident occurs, they were still incredibly useful.

Chu Liang had always lacked these capabilities, in fact, the whole of Shu Mountain wasn’t good at such things.

For those things they were not well versed in, they had to find clever solutions.

Even if eavesdropping didn’t work, he would find a way to track the opponent. He certainly couldn’t let Yun Chaoxian lose because of his own disadvantage at the starting line.

So they set off and arrived at Donghuai City via ocean route.

Donghuai is an ancient city in Jiangnan, and the city is quite lively and bustling, with many historical sites, beautiful gardens, bustling markets, and places for cultivation.

Long before they landed, they could already feel the bustle of human life from the clouds above.

Such a large human city cannot be entered by the Golden Fur Beast, so Chu Liang simply let it fly back to Shu Mountain on its own. Since it had a strong recognition of directions and was powerful, there was no worry about any accidents.

Both men entered the city shoulder to shoulder. As they observed the hustle and bustle around them, Yun Chaoxian was not in the mood for sightseeing, but was rather trying hard to think: "There are so many people in this city, where are we going to find Li Feiyu?"

"Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths. As the heroic thief of Jiangnan, there must be ways for us to find him here, right?" Chu Liang was lazily looking around, looking very curious.

"So where are these paths?" Yun Chaoxian frowned.

"Ah!" Chu Liang pointed, "Over there."

Glancing in the direction indicated by Chu Liang, Yun Chaoxian was surprised to see that Chu Liang was pointing to a medicine shop in the distance.

"Brother Chu, what are you up to?" He asked, puzzled.

"Let’s get ourselves some new clothes first." Chu Liang pulled him along.

The two of them went into a nearby shop and got Yun Chaoxian a set of black robes that concealed his head and face. His large stature made them use quite a bit of material.

Afterward, Chu Liang put on his Breath Concealment Robe and led Yun Chaoxian into the medicine shop.

"What can I get for the two gentlemen?" The shop assistant looked puzzled at their attire before asking.

Without saying too much, Chu Liang showed him a token placed in his palm.

The Hall Master token of the White Bone Hall.

"Ah, please follow me, sirs." The assistant instantly shivered and then led Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian to the back room.

There was a doctor treating an old man lying on a bed. The shop assistant whispered a few words to the doctor, and then the doctor stood up.

Then the doctor left the room along with the assistant.

Left behind was a frail old man, his hair sparse and his body thin, who seemed not long for this world.

"Are you the new Hall Master of the White Bone Hall?" The old man croaked, "Forgive me for not getting up due to my severe illness."

"No need for formalities, I’ve just arrived and would like to ask about something." Chu Liang said coldly.

"Hall Master, what can I help you with?" The old man asked.

"I heard that there’s a heroic thief named Li Feiyu in Jiangnan. Where can I find him?"

...

After exiting the pharmacy, the two didn’t change their clothes but traversed through the streets and alleys.

However, along the way, Yun Chaoxian looked at Chu Liang with a strange expression.

"Brother Yun, what’s wrong?" Chu Liang asked.

"Brother Chu..." Yun Chaoxian scratched his head, puzzled:" Why are you so adept at this?"

When Chu Liang had just put on that black robe and showed the token of the White Bone Hall, his demeanor was exactly like a real Demon Sect Hall Master.

The disguise was eerily accurate.

So much so that it was frightening.

Chu Liang gave a slight smile: "Practice makes perfect. If there’s a chance in the future, I can introduce you to join the Underworld King Sect."

"Huh?" Yun Chaoxian looked shocked.

Chu Liang briefly explained his undercover mission in the Demon Sect and didn’t elaborate. After all, he hadn’t planned on truly recruiting Yun Chaoxian into the Underworld King Sect.

Although he, as the Hall Master, now has the right to recruit newcomers, he still remembers the way Yun Chaoxian disguised himself...The impression the Bull Demon made was unforgettable.

Yun Chaoxian listened, stunned, and could only repeatedly say, "Indeed, Brother Chu is...indeed a man much smarter than me."

The information about this pharmacy was something Chu Liang only found out after becoming the Hall Master.

It turns out that each of the Netherworld Four Halls of the Underworld King Sect has its own base in the Nine States Big Cities. Regardless of their size, they can assist their disciples and provide local intelligence.

All of these bases have a common hidden symbol, which is undetectable to ordinary people.

He had already reported this matter to the sect. If one day the Righteous Path decides to act against the Underworld King Sect, they can sweep all the hidden spies within a day. The reason for not acting now is fear of alarming the enemy.

This current situation is perfectly suitable for leverage. If you want to find out about information above ground, you have to rely on the brothers in the underworld.

The old man just now, gave Chu Liang a location.

Qingyun Square.

"This is the place," Chu Liang looked around and stepped in.

This was a large gambling house, filled with smoky air and deafening noise.

However, Chu Liang did not linger. Instead, they quickly walked through the gambling house’s main hall to a dim corridor at the back. At the end of the corridor was a dark room where a master was sitting in the shadows.

Seeing the two arriving, he said in a deep voice, "There’s no one here anymore."

"We’re here to find a ghost," Chu Liang replied.

"Who are you working for?" The man asked again.

"Netherworld White Bone," Chu Liang answered coldly, while also showing his Hall Master token.

"So, it’s the Hall Master of the White Bone Hall, please come in." The man immediately raised his hand, and a secret door rattled open on the wall.

Although the Underworld King Sect had suffered heavy losses, it was still the most powerful sect among the Demon Sects, so these people from the underworld naturally showed respect.

After the secret door, another long corridor opened up into a bright spacious area!

The area was even bigger than the external gambling house, filled with semi-darkness and bustling with people. It looked just like a giant marketplace with many people trading goods. Infront of that was a massive dark jade board, with rows of white characters carved into it.

"Chu Liang?" Yun Chaoxian murmured.

Chu Liang quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Didn’t I tell you not to use real names here?"

"No, I was referring to that." Yun Chaoxian pointed ahead.

Turned out, it was a huge line of characters on one side of the black jade board.

"Reward for the killing of Chu Liang, disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect!"
