Chapter 382: Chapter 66 Purge 【Need Monthly Tickets!】_1

This scripture scroll was a magic artifact provided by Ascending Dragon Academy to Minister Zhang, capable of shattering the void over a long distance three times. Unlike Chu Liang’s jade talisman, it required a certain amount of charging time and couldn’t enable instant teleportation.

As such, there was a certain risk in using it as a life-saving tool.

Just like what had happened mid-air, he was shot down by the demon race divine envoy.

Fortunately, this time, the artifact proved beneficial. With it, he and Wei Xi were soon able to leave the valley.

Chu Liang speculated in silence, concluding that besides fearing someone else might find Wei Xi, the Imperial Court also wanted to control Wei Xi in case he harbored any wicked thoughts.

After all, Wei Xi could potentially be a link to an ancient treasure.

Chu Liang and Zhuge Guanxing immediately sprang into action, searching through the valley. This time, they weren’t after Wei Xi, but were on the lookout for any ongoing battles.

Not long after Wei Xi left, a heavy leopard roar echoed through the mist, signaling something was astir.

Following the sound, Chu Liang and his companion witnessed the leopard demon, previously entangled with Ji Lingyu, now locked in combat with Gui Lian’er. They could not fathom what had occurred en route.

Responding to the leopard’s call, two other demon race divine envoys quickly joined the fray.

Initially, Gui Lian’er could match the leopard demon in battle, but the sudden three-on-one predicament left him panicked.

Meanwhile, Chu Liang and Zhuge Guanxing remained concealed, unwilling to reveal themselves.

They were not joking. Dealing with a single demon race divine envoy was already a Herculean task, let alone three.

They had no need to hastily risk their lives to save Gui Lian’er.

Gui Lian’er, noting the oddity of the situation – enemies on all sides and no allies in sight - immediately retreated by a dozen or so feet and unfurled his banner.

"Withdraw!"

In a swift move, he dispersed the enveloping mist!

When the thick fog dissipated, the entire valley, torn asunder by the chaotic battle, was exposed to the sunlight. Suddenly, everyone stopped, feeling a bit disoriented due to the abrupt reveal.

A sweep of their divine sense confirmed Wei Xi’s absence.

The disguised Heavenly Hunt Guard and demon race divine envoys ceased fighting and departed swiftly.

Gui Lian’er frowned, then flew into mid-air and roared: "Ghost Face Hall, retreat with me!"

The confusion in the Misty Mountain Valley lasted only a short while, but it was intense.

Chu Liang and his companion waited a moment before standing up to answer Gui Lian’er, fearing if they acted too quickly, Gui Lian’er may question why they hadn’t helped despite being so close – not an easy question to answer.

Soon, everyone from Ghost Face Hall assembled. The group settled down in another nearby clearing amidst the mountains.

"We let the target escape again." Gui Lian’er lamented, his face gloomy. "This is the first mission the Palace Master personally handed to me and I failed..."

His plan wasn’t flawed; with the mist as coverage, Ghost Face Hall members should have located and killed Wei Xi swiftly.

If members of Ghost Face Hall were all on his side...

Chu Liang, comforting, said: "Hall Master, it isn’t your fault. Who could have foreseen the intrusion of the Demon Race, and... there’s another key reason why the target escaped... we have a traitor in Ghost Face Hall!"

"What?" Gui Lian’er’s eyes narrowed. "Is this true?"

"Absolutely! It’s him!" Chu Liang flung Little Four onto the ground with a forceful shove.

"He not only let the target go but also tried to hinder me!"

While taking in the information, Gui Lian’er flicked a beam of silver light onto Little Four with the intention to wake and interrogate him.

Startled, Little Four opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Chu Liang.

Meanwhile, from the side, Gui Lian’er interrogated sternly: "Who sent you? If you don’t spill everything, I’ll flay you alive and torture your soul for eternity!"

Simultaneously, an invisible light sparked in Chu Liang’s hand.

Resentment Chain!

This time, the one being locked was Little Four and himself!

Since Gui Lian’er could not be a target of the Resentment Chain, Chu Liang used himself as the second target.

In an instant, a burst of rage erupted in his heart.

This little creature was a member of the Demon Sect, her hands stained with countless lives. Just looking at her made him angry!

Meanwhile, Little Four on the ground, although weak, was also filled with rage. This person had not only robbed him of his Hall Master but also ambushed him. It was a deep-seated hatred.

"I’ll kill you!" he suddenly erupted, drawing his sword in plain view and slashing towards Chu Liang!

Chu Liang, however, flipped his hand and cast a dark talisman, which hit him hard.

Chichi chichi——

The sound of a weapon penetrating flesh.

It was not Chu Liang, but Little Four was cut into the air with several weapons handed over from the side.

Thump.

The body fell to the ground.

The resentment and anger in Chu Liang’s heart were all gone at once. So this is what it feels like to be entwined by the Resentment Chain.

He turned to Gui Lian’er and said, "I originally planned to keep this person for interrogation. I didn’t expect him to be so unyielding..."

Gui Lian’er saw this but didn’t say anything more.

If Chu Liang had directly killed Little Four and came back telling him that the traitor had been eliminated, he might have had some doubts about its authenticity.

But now that the person was brought before him, trying to murder him in front of his face, the matter was clear.

If Little Four wasn’t guilty, why would he still want to fight in this situation?

He nodded slightly towards the crowd, "Did you see that? This is the fate of traitors. I hope none of you follow suit."

Chu Liang quickly responded, "Rest assured, Old Hall Master. All the brothers here can be trusted."

After purging Little Four, the purity of the Ghost Face Hall’s team greatly increased.

After a while, Gui Lian’er sighed: "Alas, you all go your separate ways for now. I will report this matter to the Palace Master."

With that, everyone quickly took off.

Even if they planned to meet up later, they must at least give the appearance of leaving separately.

...

Chu Liang returned to Silver Sword Peak all the way, and it was already late.

He returned to his little wooden house, closed the door without saying a word, and rewarded himself first.

The Demon Race Divine Envoy was so formidable, he should be able to get some good things out of it.

Within the White Pagoda, three Big Head Babies were sitting in a row against the wall, surrounded by an incredibly dazzling smoky Qi Sea. It felt satisfying just looking at it.

The Big Head Babies were turning around and around, conjuring up a good life.

Chu Liang stepped forward and pressed the "Refine" word, and a streak of light flashed by instantly.

Bang.

A cluster of brilliance floated into his hand.

[Howl Sky Wolverine Arrow]: The arrow puller made with moonlight and the arrow made with the soul of a wolf. As long as you stick the puller somewhere, no matter where you release the arrow, it will land on the puller as long as the force is sufficient.

The brilliance faded, and Chu Liang looked at the reward in his hand.

On one side there were ten dark gold long arrows with the head of a wolf carved in gold, emanating a dangerous, bloodthirsty aura, and on the other side were ten moon-white talismans, glowing faintly.

These talismans were naturally the legendary pullers that only needed to be stuck somewhere to allow the Wolf Head Arrow to lock on.

It sounds very powerful.

It could be a good chance to practice archery. The storage bag he had collected had a large bow in it.

But he had said he would share the loot with Minister Zhang, Zhuge Guanxing... Now he had kept the bronze mask and the big bow...

In the worst-case scenario, could he share the dry food and water inside with them?
