Chapter 401: Chapter 84 What are you looking at? Asking for Monthly Tickets!_1

Giant Whale Mansion, the headquarters of the Whale Guild.

Unlike the detached Immortal Sects, as a major gang rooted in all corners of the world, the Whale Guild headquarters is located in a vast mountain mansion three hundred miles from Yu Capital City, among which lies the famous Thunder Rain Hall.

The mountain mansion being located in the Central State Hinterland, at the Nine States Towngate, allows commands from the headquarters to spread to all corners of the world more conveniently.

As twilight approaches, two rows of servants are lined up at the entrance to the Giant Whale Mansion. A tall and distinguished middle-aged man stands here, his extraordinary looks can be seen even from afar.

This man, dressed in a jade belt robe adorned with sword patterns, tall and sturdy with a handsome face, has a pair of bright, star-like eyes. The divine light in his eyes is like a dragon, and his splendid and handsome appearance immediately catches the eye.

This man is Jiang Shenting, the soon-to-be new leader of the Whale Guild.

His inauguration ceremony is on the morrow, crucial guests will arrive a day in advance to settle in arrangements by the Whale Guild. There shall also be a banquet in the evening, with only the major Immortal Sect powers led by the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands in attendance.

Moreover, many people in the pugilistic community will come to the ceremony tomorrow, adding to the diversity of the crowd.

In the distance, a ball of auspicious cloud slowly descends.

When the mist dispersed, it revealed one figure after another.

The leader, dressed in a light-blue hunting suit looking stern, is none other than the Head Master of Shu Mountain Sect, Wang Xuanling. Following him are Xu Ziyang and several Golden Core Realm Disciples of Jade Sword Peak, as well as Jiang Yuebai and Mu Yuetong on one side.

Originally, apart from Jade Sword Peak, he only intended to bring Jiang Yuebai and Chu Liang. However, Chu Liang suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Yuebai brought another Golden Core Realm Junior Sister from Biluo Peak to accompany them.

The man at the entrance of the Giant Whale Mansion, upon seeing this group, immediately went forward to greet them and saluted, "Thanks the Head Master from Shu Mountain Peaks graced us with his presence. I am afraid and deeply honored."

"Hehe, Guild Master Jiang need not be so courteous." Wang Xuanling replied with a courteous smile, "Tomorrow is the day of your succession. You have been praised by our Sect Master of Shu Mountain for being promising at a young age, quite admirable indeed."

"I am unworthy," Jiang Shenting smiled and shook his head, then added with a hint of gloom, "Had it not been for the sudden disappearance of the former Guild Master, I would not have been the one to succeed. Therefore, although I have invited friends from all Immortal Sects for this ceremony, I do not consider it a celebration, merely an announcement. Please forgive any oversights, Master Wang."

"Guild Master Jiang is thoughtful," Wang Xuanling nodded.

When they first landed, the Shu Mountain Sect’s party noticed that despite the grand reception Jiang Shenting had arranged, there were no festive decorations. The entire mansion appeared plain and modest, instilling a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

In the middle of their conversation, a sharp cry rang out in the distance, "shh------"

Jiang Shenting then gestured behind him, "Master Wang, if you could, please show our Shu Mountain friends to the mansions to rest. There will be a banquet a short while later when we shall drink and chat."

"Understood."

Wang Xuanling agreed, and he then entered the Giant Whale Mansion following the servants.

In the distance, a large, dark eagle descended, carrying about ten figures. Jiang Shenting immediately went to greet them.

Wang Xuanling glanced at his retreating figure, saying, "No wonder he can hold such a high position at such a young age. His actions are indeed flawless. Ziyang, you all must learn from him."

Jiang Shenting had been here since the afternoon, whether it was a major or minor Immortal Sect or organization, if they came to congratulate him in advance, he undoubtedly greeted them personally and chatted for a while. Moreover, he could call out the names of those he greeted, no matter whether he had met them before, making them feel very warmly welcomed.

We can’t say he hasn’t been putting in the effort.

That he can preside over one part of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands before the age of forty, yet shows no trace of arrogance, and he remains humble and cautious in his dealings, is truly admirable.

"Disciple will remember," said Xu Ziyang.

"That kid, Chu Liang, is doing quite well in this regard. Despite being so young, he already knows how to interact with people..." Wang Xuanling murmured.

Xu Ziyang nodded.

In terms of networking and cultivation, Chu Liang indeed outpaces his fellow disciples by a few decades.

Next, he unconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuebai.

Not only him, but a few other Shu Mountain disciples who heard Chu Liang’s name also instinctively looked towards Jiang Yuebai.

Feeling the many gazes directed towards her, Jiang Yuebai felt a bit uncomfortable and gently turned her face."

She wanted to say, "Why are you looking at me?" But mentioning such a thing would only make it more awkward. She also had some worry about Chu Liang’s safety, but she didn’t know who to turn to to express it...

After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked, "The man behind Guild Master Jiang earlier seemed to have a malicious look in his eyes. Does Head Master Uncle know who that man is?"

She wasn’t arbitrarily changing the subject.

Although Jiang Shenting greeted them warmly earlier, a tall man who looked like a guard following behind him had a rather sinister look in his eyes when viewing the people of Shu Mountain.

Even though the look was fleeting, Jiang Yuebai captured it.

"Humph, I noticed him too, and you don’t need to pay any attention to him," Wang Xuanling snorted, "That fellow’s name is Cheng Gan, one of the four King Kong under Jiang Shenting."

"Some time ago, Empress Feng had revealed a group of criminals trading in civilian women, implicating the East Whale Guild, which fell to Cheng Gan. The imperial court even executed a group of officials and members of the Imperial Family, then ordered the East Whale Guild to investigate. After Jiang Shenting learned about it, he killed many of Cheng Gan’s subordinates. Cheng Gan himself was also heavily punished. Now he has lost the position of King Kong and is only one of Jiang Shenting’s personal guards."

"Presumably he holds some resentment against Shu Mountain because of this," Wang Xuanling’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain, "If he dared to make any moves..."

He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew that the Head Master of Shu Mountain has never been someone to easily provoke.

Those who could fight against Empress Feng for many years and live to be over a hundred, could they be ordinary people?

Perhaps Cheng Gan may be a figure in the pugilistic community, but in the eyes of the Head Master of Shu Mountain Peaks... the fact that Wang Xuanling remembered his name was already enough flattery for him.

At this moment, another disciple next to them suddenly said, "Isn’t it the case of Marquis Ding Shan of the Southern Border City? The Seven Star Mansion Report had covered it, and it seems it was revealed by Junior Brother Chu Liang. It was quite sensational..."

At this mention, everyone suddenly remembered.

The inescapable tale of Marquis Ding Shan Residence...

Jin Lian, Ping’er, and Chun Mei... were all very popular at one time.

It was Chu Liang who discovered it and reported it to the Tianshu Pavilion back then. Thinking of Chu Liang, everyone’s gaze shifted back to Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Why are you all looking at me for this?

...

"Wait, let me have a look..."

The members of the Blaze Guild scrambled to pin down the passing silhouette. The Vice Guild Master’s Xuanhua Big Axe was already floating in the air, ready to strike if this person dared to utter a single word loudly.

But hearing the man’s scream, Chu Liang had a thought. This voice sounds familiar...?

The aura was familiar too...

He quickly shoved the Blaze Guild’s burly men aside, took a good look, and who else lying there on the ground if not Lin Bei?

"What are you doing here?" he asked, surprised.

"Why is it you?" Lin Bei was also taken aback.

"You know him?" the Vice Guild Master lifted her eyes to Chu Liang.

"We’re buddies!" Lin Bei blurted out first, "Sis, are you a friend of Chu Liang? If so, we’re all on the same side. Let me go."

"He’s my fellow disciple from Shu Mountain. We got separated after arriving here. You can trust him," Chu Liang said.

The Vice Guild Master then released Lin Bei.

Chu Liang briefly explained to Lin Bei that he had come to Python Belly City where he encountered three major forces. The guild master of one of these forces, the Blaze Guild, was trapped inside the Castellan Residence. He came here with them to rescue their leader and also to find a way out.

"Castellan Residence? What Castellan Residence?" Lin Bei asked, "This is a prison."

"Huh?" Chu Liang looked around. "You mean, all of it?"

"Yes, this fortress is full of extremely sturdy cells. A lot of people have been imprisoned here by the Lord of Python Belly City, who has never appeared himself," Lin Bei said.

"So why are you here...?" Chu Liang asked again.

"The Chief Steward of this place is my friend and he asked me to stay as his assistant," Lin Bei replied.

"When did you make friends with the locals?" Chu Liang was perplexed.

"Just now," Lin Bei answered.

Chu Liang: "?"

"After I fell that day, when I opened my eyes, I saw the Chief Steward of this prison. After a quick chat, we became friends. He said he’s a Ji Meng Dragonkin who doesn’t want to kill people as a cavalryman, so he stayed inside to manage logistics. His assistant just happened to be killed by a Fire Dragon from the Southern Sea, so he asked me to stay and help him out," Lin Bei explained.

"So, everyone in this prison except you is a Ji Meng tribesman?" Chu Liang asked.

"Yeah," Lin Bei replied.

Chu Liang was taken aback, he didn’t expect this guy to blend in so quickly not only with people but also among the Dragonkin.

"Do you know how to get out of this secret realm?" Chu Liang asked again.

"I don’t know yet, but I’ve had drinks with two Ji Meng Dragon Cavalry members and sworn brotherhood. I think if I drink with them a couple more times, they should tell me," Lin Bei confidently said.

What the heck.

It’s a good thing I came early, otherwise, you might have already completely switched sides by now.

Chu Liang silently cursed in his heart.

"I was actually planning to explore myself and then sneak outside the wall to find you so we could escape together," Lin Bei said, "I didn’t expect that you would sneak in here to jailbreak first."

"Correction: I’m jailbreaking and then sneaking out," Chu Liang quickly corrected.

"Hey, what’s the difference?" Lin Bei waved his hand dismissively.

"The order matters a lot," Chu Liang replied.

The Vice Guild Master, who was listening on the side, got excited and asked, "You’re in charge here, do you know where our Blaze Guild Master Hua Zhengshan is being held?"

"I still need some time to get to know the prison guards...I need a few days to recognize all the prisoners..." Lin Bei said, "Also, there’s only a small hole in the cells here for delivering food, you can’t actually see the prisoners."

"Then there’s no way. If we want to save people, we will have to open up one cell at a time," the Vice Guild Master said.

"That’s impossible," Lin Bei shook his head, "The cells here, reinforced with the city lord’s rune array, can’t even be breached by the Southern Sea Fire Dragon. How can you possibly break them open?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Chu Liang jumped up, "I’ll see which part can’t be opened."
