Chapter 503: Chapter 81: Granny Meng [Vote for the month!]_1

"After tending to the accounts today, accompany me to stroll through the shops of Red Cotton Peak. Get an understanding of commodity prices. Don’t slack in your cultivation when we return. You absolutely cannot be lax in allocating four hours a day to cultivating. Once you can replenish your spiritual energy without sleeping, that time can be increased to six to eight hours a day. For us cultivators, our cultivation is our foundation. No slacking in your morning studies at the Law Protection Hall either. Senior Brother Yuan has taken quite a liking to you, which is something quite rare..."

A bright morning on Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang was arranging a full day of activities for Little Chu Yi. Even though the schedule was complicated, Chu Yi still listened attentively with a serious face.

If he had really become the emperor of the former dynasty, he might have been a benevolent ruler. Unfortunately, he was in rival territory. As Chu Liang was the Royal Younger Brother of the current regime, he could not instigate him to revolt and return the Qian Dynasty to power. Instead, he had to guide him in other directions.

"You’re already six years old, time waits for no one. You must be diligent in your cultivation and studies. You can’t lose before the race has even started. Your performance recently has been quite good, but you must always guard against arrogance and rashness, never become complacent. If I ever catch you slacking off, I will certainly correct you."

Chu Liang was gentle and smiled to everyone, with the only exception being his strict countenance towards Little Chu Yi.

Inevitable really, Silver Sword Peak had a handful of reliable individuals. Chu Liang seemed to be the only one who could actually discipline a child.

"Yes." Chu Yi had a serious look on his face as he solemnly said, "I will strictly follow Brother Chu Liang’s instructions."

"Good." Chu Liang nodded in satisfaction, "Then begin today’s tasks."

"Yes."

Following the instructions, the young Chu Yi began his busy day of work.

Chu Liang returned to his cabin, sent his Divine Sense into the White Pagoda to retrieve the small palm-sized girl Tuntun.

He has to give her time to breathe fresh air everyday.

The little creature was sleeping soundly, using her semi-transparent golden wings as a cover. She seemed a little dazed when suddenly brought out by Chu Liang.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, let’s see what we’re eating today!" Chu Liang took out another large bowl and placed it in front of Tuntun. "Luosifen!"

"Wow——" Tuntun immediately opened her eyes and swung her chubby lotus root-like arms in delight.

Now she was accustomed to all kinds of junk food. Although these foods had no spirituality, they tasted good, which was a treat for this tiny creature.

Watching her eat happily and innocently, Chu Liang couldn’t help but smile.

"Tuntun is so great. She loves to eat and sleep. Where can we find such a good child!"

"Here, we also have fried stinky tofu."

"For dessert, we eat Durian."

"You finished so quickly, impressive!"

"My, the way you drink soup is so lively."

"..."

If Little Chu Yi saw this scene, even with his maturity, he would probably cry on the spot.

During this feeding time, a Jade Talisman in Chu Liang’s arms shook. He picked it up to find that it was a message from the Ghost Face Hall in the Demon Sect. Only three elders, him, Monk Pu Shan, Luo Yao, and he still held this talisman. The newly recruited people were no longer given Gui Lian’er’s Jade Talisman, but were notified by him as the new Hall Master.

However, under the circumstances where he did not know what the matter was, he didn’t summon too many people temporarily but instead directly prepared to leave for the previously agreed-upon location.

It had been a while since he’d received any information from the Demon Sect. During this time, Chu Liang’s power had advanced by leaps and bounds. Now he had more than enough confidence to face Gui Lian’er.

...

At the familiar location on the outskirts of the Zhennan Region’s Mountain.

When Chu Liang arrived, Gui Lian’er was still seated on the large rock, and Luo Yao, who had already arrived ahead of time, was seated silently on the side.

Monk Pu Shan hadn’t arrived yet, so the atmosphere was silent.

Upon seeing Chu Liang’s arrival, Gui Lian’er nodded lightly in his direction, then said, "Today, we have a major mission."

Chu Liang responded by nodding his head, then sat down quietly. Everyone remained silent.

After a while, another figure descended from the sky. Even before his figure arrived, his voice floated over, "I’m late, I’m late, I’m late. After receiving the message, I immediately set off, who would have thought that I’d get held up on the way. Can you guess what happened? No? Well, I ran into a South Sky Falcon that mistook me for a bird, haha. After a fight with it, I was able to continue my journey, hence my lateness. Did I delay everyone? It’s a pity that there is no wine, otherwise, I would have to punish myself with three cups of alcohol. If not, I should roll on the ground three times as punishment, otherwise it truly lacks sincerity..."

It was only until this point that his figure arrived.

Gui Lian’er’s chest rose and fell noticeably a few times, as though it was about to burst. Chu Liang also felt his eardrums pounding from the noise. It had been a while since they had seen Monk Pu Shan, and they were a little overwhelmed by his presence.

But Luo Yao coldly interjected, "You can shut up now."

"Whimper, whimper, whimper." Monk Pu Shan obediently whimpered and nodded in agreement.

Gui Lian’er let out a long sigh of relief and slowly started speaking, "All the old folks from our respective halls are here. It doesn’t matter much about the rest. This mission is extremely confidential, and the fewer people that know about it, the better."

The three of them listened attentively.

"We need to capture Granny Meng, the elder of our Underworld King Sect who stole an important treasure from our sect," explained Gui Lian’er. "This mission is of utmost importance. The Netherworld Four Halls are acting collectively, each being responsible for a different area. Our White Bone Hall has more manpower, so the Palace Master has ordered us to search the mountains and seas. We’ll set out tomorrow."

Granny Meng?

None of them had heard of this name before. However, fearing that they might display any signs of fear, no one voiced out their thoughts.

Seeing as no one was making any noise, Gui Lian’er continued, "You might not have heard of Granny Meng. She is an elder of our sect and was the widow of the previous sect master, Xuan... never mind; let’s not mention that name. She is still respected as an elder by the current Sect Master. Who would have thought she would do something like this? The Sect Master has already promised that whoever finds Granny Meng first will have achieved something of great merit, enough to ascend to heaven in one step!"

They didn’t know much about the Underworld King Sect’s previous Sect Master. They only knew that he was probably a powerful Demon Head who was feared by many. He was the mentor of the current Sect Master.

However, he was eventually overthrown by the current Sect Master, and his fate was unknown.

The term "widow" was almost like a curse.

The infighting in the Demon Sect was always welcomed by the Righteous Path sects. However, the current Sect Master of the Underworld King Sect was clearly more powerful. Since his takeover, the Underworld King Sect’s strength had been growing rapidly. It was only after their attack on Shu Mountain that they slowed down and went into hiding.

As for the unfortunate former Sect Master, no one cared about whether he was alive or dead.

Only a few members of the Righteous Path sects occasionally reminisced about the weak Underworld King Sect under his leadership.

"You should prepare and gather here at noon tomorrow. Then, I’ll take you to the location where we’re responsible for the search," Gui Lian’er said lastly.

"Yes," the three agreed.

After that, they all went their separate ways. On the journey, the three discussed among themselves. They knew very little about Granny Meng and weren’t sure what treasure she had stolen that caused the Underworld King Sect to react so intensely.

By nightfall, the long-dormant Soul Summoning Order suddenly shuddered again, bringing them new information.

[East Road Guide]: "Our sect is searching far and wide for Granny Meng, who stole our treasure and fled. I believe you’ve all received the news. The Netherworld Four Halls have excluded us from this operation. Therefore, you must report any information you have to me."

[East Road Guide]: "The Marquis’s injuries have healed; he is personally making a move this time. We will surely capture Granny Meng!"
