Chapter 455: Chapter 34 Our Heavenly Gang Sect... [Seeking monthly tickets!]_1

Shu Mountain, Red Cotton Peak.

After a period of development, Red Cotton Peak has rapidly become the most prosperous place in the Immortal Cultivation World outside of Taotie City. Thanks to various incentives offered in the early stage of opening, every day a large number of cultivators from the Nine States and Four Seas come to visit.

In fact, compared to the large base of cultivators, the places available for shopping are far from sufficient. Having just one Northern Taotie City isn’t enough to cater to such a large customer base. For example, like Chu Liang and his friends, whenever they wanted to buy something, they had to travel a full day to reach Taotie City - it was simply too much hassle.

The emergence of Red Cotton Peak has greatly alleviated this problem. All the cultivators closer to the Southern Region can choose to consider Red Cotton Peak as their first choice. Although the scale of the two places is still a lot different, given Red Cotton Peak’s growth rate, catching up with Taotie City seems like a matter of time.

This won’t create a significant impact on Taotie City, because they are already operating at overcapacity. Moreover, a tenth of the profits from Red Cotton Peak goes to them, so Taotie City is naturally happy to see it thrive.

With the realization of this cooperation, under the organization of Huyan Bin, at least half of Taotie City’s large shops have opened branches on Red Cotton Peak.

Prospering every day.

The Red Cotton Peak of today is no longer the one with a single rudimentary Red Cotton Road, but has numerous interconnected streets, with the scale of a small town.

Today, the mountain is particularly crowded.

Because today is the ribbon-cutting day of the Four Seas Whale Guild’s shops.

In fact, the first batch of the Whale Guild’s shops was already completed and operational, but there had been no formal ribbon-cutting. Now, since the Whale Guild has initially developed a avenue on Red Cotton Peak and the project has reached a stop, a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony is underway.

The Guild Master of the Whale Guild, Xu Baishan, personally presided over the ceremony, immediately raising the prestige of the event. Many celebrities from the Immortal Cultivation World were also invited, creating quite a grand atmosphere.

As the Guild Master was present, the Upper Echelon of Shu Mountain could no longer ignore the event. Wang Xuanling, the head of all the peaks, was also personally present.

"Hahaha, Elder Brother Wang! Welcome, welcome! Shu Mountain is the host. You’re up for the first cut." Xu Baishan cordially handed a pair of scissors to Wang Xuanling and asked him to stand on his left.

"Next up, Brother Chu! The development of Red Cotton Peak owes you so much." Xu Baishan also handed a pair of scissors to Chu Liang and asked him to stand on his right.

Wang Xuanling: "..."

Despite feeling very awkward, he could only grin and bear it.

The people from Tianshu Pavilion were all watching. Any mismanagement of facial expressions could lead to a black manuscript.

Wang Xuanling was no stranger to the waves; seeing the improved relationship between Empress Feng and Tianshu Pavilion, he didn’t exclude the possibility that they could turn their guns on him. So when traveling outside, one needs to be careful and cautious.

Chu Liang could stand in the center with these two not only because he and Xu Baishan were sworn brothers, but also since he’s the one who took charge of everything regarding Red Cotton Peak.

Although the news of him contracting the mountain hadn’t been leaked, the world now knew that the concept and construction of this place are all under his control. Therefore, Chu Liang’s position here was not as simple as that of a young disciple.

"Three, two, one! Cut!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Xu Hongqiu announced loudly from the side. A few salvoes of firecrackers were fired off, and the three together cut the red ribbon.

A burst of warm applause sounded from the crowd.

In the crowd, many of Chu Liang’s friends were also present.

Wen Yulong was seated in a pavilion, suddenly recalling a few months ago when he and Chu Liang went together to Taotie City, he had said that it was unlikely for Shu Mountain to have such a place.

He really hadn’t imagined it then.

That in such a short time, Chu Liang could create such a grand Red Cotton Peak.

It can only be described as "magical".

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Chu Liang quickly returned to the second floor and arrived at a desk in the loft.

Jiang Yuebai sat there, a smile on her face as she watched him, "Peak Master Chu, you’re quite impressive."

"Hehe, it’s nothing." Chu Liang waved his hand, "Why are you here? I thought you didn’t like this sort of thing. I didn’t even invite you."

"I invited Jiangjiang to come." Xu Hongqiu followed from the side and sat down next to Jiang Yuebai.

"You two..." Chu Liang looked at their intimate appearance, a little astonished.

In his memory, he didn’t recall these two even knowing each other?

"Jiangjiang and I hit it off right away, we’re good sisters now." Xu Hongqiu laughed.

"Well..." Chu Liang looked at Jiang Yuebai and suddenly laughed.

"I know what you’re about to say, shut up," Jiang Yuebai retorted annoyed, giving him a glare, "Everybody mind their own businesses."

Chu Liang immediately laughed without uttering a word.

"Hmm," Xu Hongqiu sharply changed the course of the dialogue and said, "Jiang, you’d better watch him closely. He is now wealthier than you can ever imagine. Even if he doesn’t go out to court others, girls will always pursue him."

Jiang Yuebai’s face turned red, upset she said, "What are you talking about..."

"Yeah, what are you talking about?". Chu Liang also said, "How could I possibly..."

As he was speaking, a girlish voice echoed from the staircase, "Warrior Chu! Finally, I found you."

Upon looking in the direction of the voice, they saw two charming and sweet-looking young girls running towards them.

...

"Let’s make it clear." Chu Liang sat down formally, "Miss Ji, Miss Tang, what brings you both here in broad daylight?"

Opposite him sat the two new arrivals.

It was indeed Ji Lingyu and Tang Shi.

Jiang Yuebai and Xu Hongqiu sat on the side, watching the conversation unfold with great interest.

Ji Lingyu, evidently oblivious to the complexity of the situation, looked around and laughed, "It’s so lively today."

"Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Whale Guild, so it’s a bit lively." Chu Liang pointed at Xu Hongqiu and asked, "Now, why are you here? Do you have something important to say?"

The word ’important’ was emphasized.

Typically, he wouldn’t mind chatting with them casually because they are acquaintances. But given the immediate situation, any distractions were unwelcome.

"This is the thing." Ji Lingyu became serious, "Recently our Heavenly Gang Sect..."

"Hmm?"

The moment she spoke Chu Liang was surprised.

Has it already become ’our Heavenly Gang Sect’?

"Miss Ji, have you completely decided not to return home?" He asked puzzled.

"Hmph." Ji Lingyu sneered, "Did you know that my Eighth Brother has already joined the Regent Residence?"

"Really?" Chu Liang genuinely did not know.

Last time they met in Python Belly City, Ji Lingfeng, the eighth young master of the Ji family, was rescued by the Regent Residence along with the rest of the population. Who would have known that he would stay afterwards?

Given his background, talent, and cultivation, joining the Regent Residence wouldn’t be a problem at all. They always recruit talents from immortal sects. If they can secure a member of an aristocratic family, it would foster good ties with the Ji family in future.

But...

"Is your bet still going on?" Chu Liang asked.

"As long as he’s away from home, how could I admit defeat?" Ji Lingyu replied, "I am now an outer door disciple of the Heavenly Gang Sect. Given time, I can certainly succeed in martial arts and would definitely enter the inner door."

Impressive!

This sibling pair are so committed to a bet about running away from home that one has taken the civil service exam and the other is seeking martial arts perfection?

Is the competitiveness of the Ji family rock-solid? If kept going, wouldn’t they refuse to return to their ancestral graves even in death?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Jiang Yuebai and then thought of his master...

Are all the descendants from the Cultivation Family inherently like this? Does the phrase ’Cannot Lose’ run through their blood?

After some frivolous talk, Ji Lingyu went back to the point: "Yesterday, one of our Heavenly Gang Sect disciples was murdered in Kaoshan City located at the periphery of Zhennan Region’s Mountain. He was Tang Shi’s direct line senior brother. Tang Shi’s master took some of us to investigate but found nothing. It was Yun Chaoxian who reminded us that you have quite a network in Kaoshan City, and that with your wisdom and wit, we might find help from you."

"Oh." Chu Liang nodded and looked at Jiang Yuebai, repeating what he heard, "So you guys came to ask for my help because of a Heavenly Gang Sect murder."

"If they need your help, then help them. Why do you keep looking at me?" Jiang Yuebai dodged his gaze.
