Chapter 367: Chapter 51 Assurance of Unity with Me [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_1

"The way of the world is mysterious and unpredictable, and fruitless effort is a common occurrence. Young Miss Yu, don’t be overly worried." Chu Liang patiently comforted.

Liu Xiaoyu had put in so much effort to open the second layer of Ba Xia’s Mausoleum, but the result was that a dragon soul had escaped and a throne had vanished into thin air. It was inevitable that she was feeling a bit disappointed.

Chu Liang continued to persuade her: "Though you didn’t obtain anything from Ba Xia’s Mausoleum, during your search, you found your sister, whom you wanted to find the most. Isn’t this a kind of harvest?"

"You’re right," Liu Xiaoyu responded when she heard this, glancing at Little Yi, her spirits lifting.

In her heart, her sister is indeed much more valuable than any treasure.

"It’s been a long separation for you two sisters. Let Little Yi stay with you for a few more days to catch up on things. Later, let Little Yi bring you to visit our Silver Sword Peak for a few days, you can see what her everyday life is like", said Chu Liang in a kindly tone, "From now on, Silver Sword Peak will be your second home."

The reason he said this was because he knew that after understanding the situation here, Liu Xiaoyu definitely wanted her sister to stay by her side. But without Liu Xiaoyu, Silver Sword Peak would be like a hot pot without tripe.

It would be futile to outrightly block this from happening, and might even ruin Liu Xiaoyu’s impression of Shu Mountain. It would be better to let Little Yi stay here for a period of time, and then bring Liu Xiaoyu to Shu Mountain to have a look.

Let the sisters make the choice themselves.

"Yes, sister, I will take you to tour Shu Mountain in a few days." Liu Xiaoyu was innocently optimistic. She took her sister’s hand and laughed: "There are many people and many things to eat on Silver Sword Peak, and there’s the big-headed Golden Fur Beast and the beautiful Little Baize..."

Liu Xiaoyu looked at her sister, then looked at Chu Liang, with some skepticism remaining.

Little Yi’s experiences over this period of time had not been as harsh as hers, so she still retained some of her innocence, while she herself had already matured into a little Demon King who had tasted the rule of survival of the fittest. Especially after being deceived by the young marquis, it was hard for her now to trust humans.

But the Silver Sword Peak master and disciples were the ones who had eradicated the Marquis Ding Shan Manor, avenging her. So her impression of them was not that bad. Upon seeing that they had no intention of separating the sisters, her gaze softened.

Especially after Chu Liang continued to explain: "Little Yi has gained the legacy of our Shu Mountain’s Real Dragon. Even Peak Master Sikong said that she is very likely to jump over the Dragon Gate in the future."

"Huh?" Only then did Liu Xiaoyu notice the white scales on her sister’s wrist.

She knew that she had only gained the soul of Ba Xia, a second-generation Dragonkin, while her sister had actually gained the inheritance of a Pure Blood Dragon.

This was a tremendous blessing for the Water Clan!

"Alright." She nodded gently, "Little Yi will stay with me for a few days, and then I will go with her to visit your Shu Mountain."

Chu Liang affirmed her decision with a smile.

Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyu returned Ba Xia’s double rings to Yun Chaoxian for safekeeping.

"Brother Chu, you are indeed a man of higher wisdom than mine." Yun Chaoxian laughed: "I didn’t expect that after so many people worked so hard for so many days, the benefits ended up in your hands."

Chu Liang, who had been concealing the matter of the Dragon God Throne, felt a sudden shock in his heart on hearing these words. He laughed and said, "What benefits are you talking about, Brother Yun?"

"Of course, it’s Ba Xia’s double rings." Yun Chaoxian said: "You were in charge of the entire process of retrieving the double rings. Without a doubt, we are the victors of this trial. Even if Li Fujian and the others get some credit, they can only rank second."

"Oh, you’re talking about that..." Chu Liang laughed again, "It’s the result of our joint efforts."

While on their way back to Donghuai City, he suddenly felt a tremble from within his magic artifact.

It was the jade talisman from Gui Lian’er of White Bone Hall.

When that fellow had left to become the personal guard of the Old Man of White Bone Mountain, he had passed the position of the Hall Master to Chu Liang, instructing him to strengthen the power of the Ghost Face Hall, and continue to maintain close contact.

He slapped himself on the forehead when he thought of this.

Originally, he intended to call some of his peers from Luo Yao and Pu Shan to come and support the Ghost Face Hall. But he had been too busy recently and this matter had been put on hold.

If Gui Lian’er saw that his Ghost Face Hall was still only a handful of people, would he think that Chu Liang was not serious about his role as the Hall Master?

Although this was the truth.

If he doesn’t support Cheng Liang, his future advancement in the White Bone Hall might be hindered, which could potentially obstruct his undercover activities.

With these concerns in mind, Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian returned to Donghuai City.

At this moment, the group of young talents was still waiting here, waiting to hear them talk about the affairs of Ba Xia’s Mausoleum. But instead of speaking about this, Chu Liang asked them a question: "Everyone, I hope you don’t find it presumptuous if I ask..."

"Would any of you be interested in joining the White Bone Hall?"

...

On the outskirts of Zhennan Region’s Mountain, at that familiar old place.

Gui Lian’er, the close guard of the White Bone Hall of the Underworld King Sect, waited here for most of the day before Chu Liang and his team arrived. This was a common occurrence, as the time of the notification can vary depending on the location of the members across the Nine States. Hence, waiting for two to three days was not unheard of.

If people did not arrive, they would leave a message at a secret place before departing.

By the time Chu Liang arrived, Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan had already reached, along with the fourth member of Ghost Face Hall - the only pure-blooded disciple of the Demon Sect.

Little Four was darkly suspecting that the new Hall Master might have died outside, in which case he would have another opportunity to compete for the position of Hall Master.

Could he still lose among three competitors?

Immediately after, he saw Chu Liang leading a massive team flying over.

There were eight people in this line-up, with no member missing from the four teams who had agreed to participate in the trial... after all, which upright talent would refuse an opportunity to infiltrate the Demon Sect?

Initially, when Chu Liang asked, everyone felt he was being too presumptuous, openly wooing a group of individuals who would be the future leaders of the Righteous Path, which was rather outrageous.

But when they heard it was a thrilling undercover mission, they immediately scrambled to participate.

Yu Xiang’er was unable to participate due to an imminent tour and the sect’s strict supervision, while Li Feiyu was unfamiliar with the others; otherwise, both siblings would have come as well.

Chu Liang gave everyone some points on infiltrating the Demon Sect and advised the people of the Heavenly Gang Sect to speak less. With that, the team was formed.

Gui Lian’er was sitting cross-legged at that moment. Opening his eyes and seeing this group of people, he immediately looked satisfied.

The Hall master indeed did not choose the wrong person.

"Good job." He stood up, looked at the people behind Chu Liang, and greeted, "Gentlemen, joining the Ghost Face Hall is definitely the right choice."

He stepped onto a large rock and continued, "I have called you all this time because there’s an important mission. It’s the perfect time for you to join the White Bone Hall, we’re in need of manpower!"

The newcomers didn’t find anything strange about this.

However, Chu Liang, Luo Yao, and Monk Pu Shan could tell something was off.

They have been told the same thing each time they joined a part of the Demon Sect. If it happened once or twice, it would still be okay, but this was said all the time...

Seems like the Underworld King Sect only has one season all year round, and that’s the season of manpower shortage?

However, Monk Pu Shan still said, "Old Hall Master, just tell us your order. No matter how many people come to the Ghost Face Hall, we will always follow you. We won’t hesitate to go through fire and water!"

Gui Lian’er laughed and nodded. This man was a bit long-winded - he had been chattering for quite a while before Chu Liang and the others arrived, but sometimes what he said was quite pleasing.

As the "Old Hall Master", his biggest worry was that the new Hall Master’s people would no longer follow his command, and he would be left alone in the White Bone Hall.

At least for now, it seemed that the kid hadn’t forgotten his "gratitude".

So, he would seize the chance to secure menial tasks and give them to his old subordinates, proving he was still useful to them.

"In ten days, a local official will travel to the capital from the Southern Region. The Palace Master wants to send a team to assassinate him. I’ve managed to secure this task. You’ll accompany me to carry it out. Once completed, it’ll be a great success and you’ll get a chance to show your face in front of the Palace Master."

"Yes!" everyone responded in chorus.

After assigning the task, Gui Lian’er pulled Chu Liang to the side and asked, "You managed to gather so many subordinates in such a short time. How are they in terms of cultivation? Can we rely on them?"

He had initially assembled Chu Liang and the others from the disbanded members after the death of the Hall Master of the Black Feather Hall. Thus, he never doubted the purity of these Demon Sect disciples. But he was slightly suspicious of the new recruits.

"Don’t worry, they’re all skilled, and they all have great potential," Chu Liang said confidently. "Most importantly, I can guarantee they’re all loyal to me."

"I knew I hadn’t misjudged you." Gui Lian’er laughed heartily, satisfied.

Meanwhile, in the team left behind, Little Four, the pure-blooded Demon Sect disciple, turned around and sneered at the newly joined members.

"Hey." He jerked his chin and said in a threatening tone, "You three newcomers, you better recognize your place and show some respect to your seniors. In our Demon Sect, people tend to disappear without a trace."

The others nodded, "Understood."
