Chapter 357: Chapter 41: True or False [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_1

Night fell.

Yun Chaoxian placed the Zhenshan River Halberd on the table, staring at it intensely with his wide-open eyes, as if he wanted to lock the Halberd in place with his gaze.

"Brother Yun, there’s no need to be so uptight. Staring at it like this, what if Li Feiyu doesn’t show up for days? You’ll tire yourself out first." Chu Liang advised.

"I’m afraid that the moment I look away, the Zhenshan River Halberd will disappear." Yun Chaoxian said with a hint of worry.

"That should not be the case, no matter how skillful that thief is, there is a limit to his tricks." Chu Liang said, "From his previous actions, it can be seen that not only his clever tricks, but his real strength lies in his calculations."

"Calculations?" Yun Chaoxian pondered with a frown.

"For example, he might disguise himself as someone you’re familiar with, and after deceiving you, he will steal the Zhenshan River Halberd." Chu Liang suggested.

"Hmm?" Yun Chaoxian peered at Chu Liang’s face, "Brother Chu, you’re not a fake one, are you?"

"Of course I’m real." Chu Liang rolled his eyes, "I haven’t left your sight since we left the Wuji Mountain Manor. Where would I have had the time to switch myself with somebody else?"

Yun Chaoxian glanced at the bronze mirror on the side of the table, as if to reassure himself that he was not an imposter either.

Chu Liang chuckled, "I’m going to rest next door, but I will keep my divine senses on high alert over this area. If anything happens, call me right away."

Yun Chaoxian appeared somewhat anxious, "Why don’t we watch it together?"

"Then he definitely won’t come. We just have to act as usual." Chu Liang said, "I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve."

"Mm." Yun Chaoxian had no choice but to agree, then muttered to himself, "If his target were not the Zhenshan River Halberd, I would actually be quite interested to see it."

Chu Liang nodded, indeed.

Most people would be curious about how a thief could steal a treasure under tight surveillance... unless the treasure belongs to them.

After Chu Liang left, Yun Chaoxian continued to stare at the Zhenshan River Halberd on the table. As a cultivator, his energy level was high, so he could stay awake for days and nights with no problem.

However, as the night deepened, not long after, a sudden cry from outside broke the silence, "Water leakage!"

All of a sudden, there was an uproar, and a faint glow from a fire could be seen through the window shutters.

"Brother Yun!"

Chu Liang pushed open the door, "There seems to be something going on at this inn, let’s go out and check it."

"Alright!" Yun Chaoxian quickly got up, ready to stride out.

Chu Liang quickly stopped him, "Take the Zhenshan River Halberd with you!"

"Oh yes." Yun Chaoxian finally remembered, turning back to grab the large Halberd.

But by the time he turned back, Chu Liang, who had been standing in the doorway, had disappeared.

"Eh?" Yun Chaoxian walked out the door only to see Chu Liang emerging from the door next door.

"Brother Chu, where did you just go?" he asked.

"Did you just see me?" Chu Liang’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly sprang up, flying through two floors, leap into mid-air.

Yun Chaoxian immediately realized that the Chu Liang he’d encountered earlier might have been an imposter!

Chu Liang hadn’t left his room at all, and no one else had appeared in his divine senses. Li Feiyu had somehow managed to evade his divine senses!

Therefore, at this moment, he didn’t only rely on his divine sense to search, but his physical eyes were also scanning swiftly, and sure enough, he quickly spotted a shadowy figure.

The reason this figure was so easily spotted by him was not only due to Chu Liang’s exceptional eyesight but also because this figure did not consciously hide itself, or may even have deliberately come forward.

...

This figure looked exactly like Chu Liang, even its expressions and posture were exactly the same, almost like Chu Liang’s external avatar.

He was across a rooftop from Chu Liang, and then, a mask appeared on his face, concealing his true visage. He then took out a large halberd and stood on the roof while declaring:

"The only reason I took Ba Xia’s Double Rings from Wuji Mountain Manor was out of desperation, I had no intention of making an enemy of the Heavenly Gang Sect. I stole the Zhenshan River Halberd this time so you wouldn’t look down on my skills. Now, I’ll leave this halberd here and I hope you won’t trouble me anymore."

It was indeed Li Feiyu.

Chu Liang smiled at him and asked, "Did you guess that we made a fake Zhenshan River Halberd?"

"Of course." Li Feiyu responded, "Yun Chaoxian didn’t have the Magical Storage Tool on him when he entered the inn, but now he has a Storage Jade Ring. It’s clear that this was specifically prepared to hold the Zhenshan River Halberd."

This kind of ancient Divine Weapon that has slain countless evil spirits carries a strong Sha aura, and it is not something that an ordinary Magical Storage Tool can contain.

Therefore, the disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect usually carry the Divine Weapon in their hands for convenience and do not bother to store it. Their own Magical Storage Tools are usually quite ordinary and only used to store common items.

Upon considering that Yun Chaoxian wanted to put away the Zhenshan River Halberd in this situation, he would first need to prepare a new high-grade Magical Storage Tool. It seemed that even this detail was not overlooked by this agile thief.

"Moreover, his acting skills are not good. Although he is pretending to care, when the fire started outside, the first time I called him, he actually didn’t care about the Divine Weapon on the table. It was obvious that he knew it was fake and thus, let his guard down."

"So, you stole the real Divine Weapon from his Magical Storage Tool?" Chu Liang asked again.

He did make a plan earlier with Yun Chaoxian and created a fake Large Halberd. It looked very similar in appearance and weight, and wasn’t easy to discern unless you infused it with True Qi.

That Li Feiyu could make a judgement and steal the large halberd within such a short time showed that he was indeed an astute person. But could the method he used to steal the Zhenshan River Halberd from the Magical Storage Tool be similar to his own Miracle Hand Divine Skill?

"I have no interest in this halberd." Li Feiyu sneered coldly, "If you keep bothering me, I won’t be so gentle next time."

"You sure are confident." Chu Liang responded with a smile, "Are you certain that the large halberd you stole is real?"

"What?" Li Feiyu frowned.

He slightly activated his True Qi and discovered that the Divine Weapon in his palm was indeed a piece of ordinary iron, his face instantly changed.

"I had long suspected that Brother Yun might make a mistake, so the Magical Storage Tool I gave him was swapped." Chu Liang took out a real Divine Weapon Large Halberd from his hand.

Yun Chaoxian rushed over from behind, Chu Liang threw the large halberd to him, and a powerful majestic aura manifested immediately!

This indeed, was the true Zhenshan River Halberd!

"Where do you think you’re going!" Yun Chaoxian wielded the large halberd, chasing after Li Feiyu!

Li Feiyu immediately vanished from the rooftop like a slip of smoke, his figure disappeared immediately.

Chu Liang also chased after him without hesitation! The Sword Control Radiance cutting through the night sky! Although it might disturb the civilians of Donghuai City, they couldn’t worry about that right now!

Li Feiyu’s cultivation level should be at the peak of the fourth realm, which is not considered particularly high but he specialises in concealment, transformation, and wind manipulation. His form moved swiftly like a phantom, and was on the verge of disappearing from their sight.

If not for Chu Liang’s sword control speed being as fast as a meteor, they would have been left behind... just like Yun Chaoxian.

After shouting once, the burly man was already a few hundred feet behind the other two.

Li Feiyu’s shadow dropped into the alley, as if he had some other way to escape, but at that moment, a mysterious light suddenly burst out from all around!

Whoosh----

A light cage, seemingly built from beams of light from all directions, suddenly entrapped Li Feiyu!

It’s an array!

From afar, Chu Liang recognized this as the Five Prisons Golden Light Array, a classic entrapment technique in array arts.

But he wasn’t the one who set it up.

A name suddenly appeared in his mind. If he wasn’t mistaken, this array was set up by Zhuge Guanxing from the Misty Mountain.

The moment the array light was lit, two figures dashed in from both sides, one wielding a heavy sword, the other lightly fanning a feather fan.

As expected, it was Li Fujian and Zhuge Guanxing!
