Chapter 397: Chapter 81: Genuine Quality! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1
By nightfall, the situation had changed again.
The Vice Guild Master had summoned Chu Liang to the entrance of the Blaze Guild to discuss matters when an unexpected person was discovered.
Uncle Yin, who had been leaning against his seat looking emaciated, smiled at Chu Liang, "So, the Young Hero Chu is here?"
"Uncle Yin?" Chu Liang looked at the Vice Guild Master in astonishment.
"The Human Clan shares a common bond. For this matter, I even sought help from the Sun Moon Tower, and Uncle Yin agreed to assist," said the Vice Guild Master.
Chu Liang had some admiration for her boldness. Was she not afraid that the Sun Moon Tower would betray her?
"Actually, the relationship between our two guilds is not as confrontational as it appears to outsiders," Uncle Yin noticed his disbelief and explained with a smile. "As members of the Human Clan, would it be wise to plot against each other instead of banding together to survive in Python Belly City? The fact that we openly fight each other is a last resort."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liang immediately understood.
If it were a natural dangerous region, the humans here would eventually unify after a brief struggle because once resources reach a balance, the remaining people would surely unite to find a way out.
The reason for maintaining competition was because a dark hand suppressed everything here.
Once a unified force emerged in Python Belly City, it would inevitably be ruthlessly purged by the Castellan Residence... That’s why they split into two camps.
They had to oppose each other to survive.
Although the regular competitions might be real, there must have been some tacit understanding between the top tiers of the two guilds. This was the real reason they had their long standoff during the day without starting a war!
"As such, the Life and Death Arena..." Chu Liang instantly thought of this.
"Correct." Uncle Yin nodded with a smile. "This was a solution I thought of years ago, to preserve as much of our vitality as possible. For close to a hundred years, I have been secretly supporting another force within the Human Clan to compete with my Sun Moon Tower in order to avoid purges from the Castellan Residence."
A look of admiration appeared in Chu Liang’s eyes as he looked at Uncle Yin.
It was not easy to set plans in motion for a hundred years in such a place. This old man, despite his thin body, had almost his entire weight worth of cunning.
"I didn’t mention these things to my subordinates, so they are unaware," Uncle Yin continued. "Yesterday, when the fourth brother rushed to the clinic to kill someone, it was a rash act. When he returned, I punished him severely."
Realizing all this, Chu Liang asked, "So does that mean the Sun Moon Tower will also join us in attacking the execution ground? With them, our chances of success greatly increase."
"Attacking the execution ground is useless," Uncle Yin suddenly shook his head.
"Hm?" Chu Liang looked over at him.
"Do you think who told Hua Zhengshan the location of the exit of Python Belly City...?" Uncle Yin whispered ominously.
His tone suggested that it was him.
This was beyond Chu Liang’s expectations.
Did he know everything?
That meant he could know the location of the exit without saving the Blaze Guild leader, but the old guy hadn’t left after all these years, so there must be a reason.
"I just understood this earlier," the Vice Guild Master said. "Earlier today, when we confronted him, Uncle Yin said that when our guild leader was captured, he mentioned he had seen it with his ’own eyes.’ I was puzzled at the time because even those of us close to him didn’t know much about it. I wondered, how could Uncle Yin have seen it."
"Later, it suddenly occurred to me. Our Guild Leader had been searching for years without success, but one day, after returning from the southern part of the city, he began to change..."
"Once I realized this, I dared to approach Uncle Yin for confirmation," the Vice Guild Master continued.
"So..." Chu Liang went back to his most urgent topic: "Where exactly is the exit?"
Uncle Yin slowly raised his finger, pointing straight up.
Chu Liang paused for a moment, then immediately understood his meaning. "Is it under that one..."
"Yes, right under that dark sun. Ordinarily, it’s hidden by the dark sun, and no one can see it," Uncle Yin said. "I have quietly investigated it in Python Belly City for several decades, and have finally grasped where the people from the Castellan Residence’s exit is. I’ve told others about this. Hua Zhengshan wasn’t the first, but he was the only one to get close. And it was through him this time that I confirmed that the door is indeed there... but I also found out that we don’t have the key."
Chu Liang thought of his Black Dragon Secret Realm.
As the Master of the Secret Realm, he could enter and exit from anywhere, but if any outsiders wanted to do the same, they would have to carry two Iron Tags to a fixed location to activate the Formation.
The Secret Realm within the Swallowing Python’s belly was probably the same.
The so-called "door" and "key" did not really exist, they referred to the formation and the ways of activating it, either by a seal technique or a magical artifact.
"Hua Zhengshan, with the Dragon Cavalry blocking him, made it above the Dark Sun, but once he got there, he only saw an unopenable door..." Uncle Yin became emotional at the thought. "He had actually anticipated this outcome."
"But for the people inside Python Belly City, he went knowing full well that he would likely fail and perish," Uncle Yin’s voice gradually became hoarse. "If it were not for my feeble health, unable to withstand a fight, I should be the one paving the way. He’s still young and could pass on this information to those who come after."
"But where to find this key..." Chu Liang also fell into deep thought.
While the Blaze Guild Master’s spirit of paving the way for future generations is admirable, more energy should be spent on figuring out how to escape - so as not to waste his efforts.
"This is why I said attacking the execution ground is useless," Uncle Yin said.
The Vice Guild Master added, "So we plan to change our strategy, even considering storming the Castellan Residence directly!"
