Chapter 511: Chapter 89: Came and Went [Thanks to Chef’s Silver Alliance!] _1

After being slapped by Chu Liang, Gui Lian’er suddenly became very obedient, trailing behind him.

Monk Pu Shan watched this scene and muttered under his breath: "Does he have any particular fetish?"

Luo Yao rolled her eyes at him.

This seemed to be some kind of divine skill that could bewitch the soul, but she found it strange that Chu Liang had not previously shown such a technique. Besides, such skill usually required a more superior level of cultivation, and given Gui Lian’er’s strength as a Sixth Realm demonic cultivator, it was definitely not something Chu Liang could easily bewitch.

What was going on?

When "Chu Liang" got closer to them, they sensed some differences, it seemed to be a change in temperament.

This Chu Liang was, of course, transformed by Immortal Qi Jing.

Respecting Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan, he did not hide his identity, but directly said: "I’m from Shu Mountain, Chu Liang has already told me about your situation, follow me."

This Chu Liang was indeed not the real one!

The two hurriedly sent messages back to their respective sects to confirm this with Shu Mountain. The answer they received was clear: they could trust this man. However, Shu Mountain did not reveal his specific identity.

It was then that Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan obediently followed behind Immortal Qi Jing, watching him wander around Sealed Cliff Mountain, not knowing where he intended to go.

Along the way, some disciples from other palaces tried to stop them from going any further, but with a simple glance from Immortal Qi Jing, those disciples with inferior power would have their eyes dimmed and turn to walk elsewhere. By the time the light returned to their eyes, they had already forgotten what had just happened.

This impeccable skill opened the eyes of these two disciples. Monk Pu Shan seemed somewhat dubious: "This seems similar to the techniques of our temple, but it shouldn’t be this powerful..."

Such a soul-bewitching divine skill is typically a form of illusion technique, creating a phantom scenario to make someone behave a certain way. But this is obviously not a mere trick, it is the real control of the soul.

This kind of great divine power is rarely found in the world of immortal cultivation. The most famous one is naturally the Immortal Law Brahman Sanskrit of Yunque Temple.

But this scripture had so few devotees even within Yunque Temple itself, let alone to be used so casually. Monk Pu Shan felt that apart from the rumored sweeping monk beyond the mountain, no one else should be able to do so.

That’s correct, in Yunque Temple, a good novice monk could be chosen as a deacon. The deacon can be promoted to the Supervisor Residence, and then to the Hall Master, then to the Abbot... and advancing further means you may have the opportunity to go beyond the mountain to sweep the floor.

The sweeping monk has always been the most legendary pinnacle in Yunque Temple.

"Yes, it’s Brahman Sanskrit." Immortal Qi Jing suddenly laughed: "But mine wasn’t stolen. It was passed on to me by Venerable Wanfa from Buddhism."

"Ah..." Monk Pu Shan understood at once.

If there’s another place where you could learn Brahman Sanskrit other than Yunque Temple, that would certainly be the Northern Region’s Sacred Mountain. Venerable Wanfa’s existence is respected by countless Buddhist disciples.

Because in the era of the holy recluse, many people regarded Venerable Wanfa as the most powerful being in the world. And as the most powerful being comes from Buddhism, naturally it boosts the morale of the generally weaker Buddhist sect on the land of Nine States.

"Predecessor, you actually know Venerable Wanfa, I respect his venerability very much, are you his disciple? Are you a member of my Buddhist sect as well? Is your mortal form bald? As the saying goes, a friend from afar when travelling, we can be considered fellow cultivators in this dangerous situation, you..."

With the distance closed, Monk Pu Shan started to chatter non-stop.

Immortal Qi Jing’s pupils slightly narrowed as he stared at him for a long while. Finally, he simply replied: "Forget what I said."

...

Thus, they proceeded smoothly. Immortal Qi Jing led them to a rather smooth mountain wall. The black wall of the mountain was unexpectedly smooth as a mirror.

Just as he reached out his hand to place it on the mountain wall, as if he wanted to do something, a gust of wind howled from the distant sky and suddenly descended.

Boom——

An explosive sound was made as it landed.

When the black wind dissipated, two figures emerged.

One of them was resplendent, wearing a high crown and a tall, straight body clad in dark armor, his skin as bronze-toned, he exuded an intimidating aura with every gesture.

"I originally intended to watch in the dark until Granny Meng showed up before I made a move. But I didn’t expect you guys to hurt my subordinates. The Netherworld Four Halls..." The man with the high crown laughed: "I, Purple Gold Marquis, am back! Hahahaha——"

With his laughter, the surrounding air waves drummed up like ripples spreading out.

The vast wilderness trembled for a moment.

Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan turned their heads to watch the scene, and their faces showed a bit of confusion. Was this the Marquis they had never met?

Should they recognize him at this point or not?

Standing next to the Purple Gold Marquis was a black-robed elder whose face was half collapsed. He seemed very weak, appearing as though he’d just been severely beaten.

But upon descending, he still dutifully shouted: "All those under the Marquis’ command need not hide anymore. Those holding the Soul Summoning Orders, come forth to pay their respects!"

As the person who crafted the Soul Summoning Orders, Purple Gold Marquis could sense their presence nearby. So he chose to descend on Sealed Cliff Mountain as he sensed Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan were under his command.

The first step upon descending was to gather his old troops.

But no one moved.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

Immortal Qi Jing did not move, Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan didn’t know whether to move, and Gui Lian’er of course wouldn’t move on his own.

So no one moved at all.

Eastern Guide furrowed his half brow, took a step forward, and said, "Your undercover operation is over. The Marquis has come to bring you back to the peak! No need to continue pretending!"

As he shouted, neither Luo Yao nor Monk Pu Shan moved. Instead, Immortal Qi Jing, who had been feeling around the mountainside, turned around.

"Huh?" Upon seeing this figure, Eastern Guide was alarmed and jumped backward. After looking around and seeing that the little girl was not present, he reassured himself and said, "My Lord! This man injured me just now. He has mediocre cultivation, but he was accompanied by a strange little girl who was very powerful."

"Oh?" Purple Gold Marquis cast a gloomy stare at Immortal Qi Jing, "Was it you who dared to injure my guide? For my first battle after coming out of seclusion, I’ll use you to establish my dominance..."

Boom——

There was a sudden loud noise from the mountainside.

A fierce burst of golden light appeared and exploded abruptly, instantly destroying half of the figure of Purple Gold Marquis. The remaining body was blasted high into the sky, turning into specks of light.

Eastern Guide was completely obliterated, leaving only scattered ashes.

Immortal Qi Jing retracted his finger and lightly said, "Be Quiet."

Monk Pu Shan and Luo Yao exchanged a glance. They were both surprised to see that this "Chu Liang" seemed to be stronger than they had imagined.

The explosion that had just occurred, was powerful enough to kill someone in the Seventh Realm, but it was only caused by him flicking his finger!

It seemed that they truly did not need to pretend anymore.

Next, they saw Immortal Qi Jing rotate back around and press his palm against a certain spot on the mountainside. It suddenly emitted a brilliant light.

Shush——

White light began to shine through the black mountainside. Shiny and mirror-like, both sides opened up abruptly, revealing an open space within the cavernous mouth of the mountain.

There was nothing else in the cavern, just an ancient bronze sword stuck in a crack in the stone.

With a flicker of his figure, Immortal Qi Jing had already arrived before the bronze sword. He had to act fast, as surely, his previous attack must have alarmed the Underworld King Sect Master.

Chirp——

He yanked the bronze sword out of the stone slot!

...

In the vast white snow of Sealed Cliff Mountain, there stood a two-story pavilion that was discordant with its surroundings. Its elegant architecture and glowing lanterns, filled with warmth and fragrance, stood out especially atop this peak.

Inside the pavilion, two people were seated comfortably.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself, always comfortable wherever you go." The man on the left said, donned in a large robe, slanted eyes, and a cold mask-like face that was somewhat horrifying.

"It’s just offhand, that’s all." The man on the right was dressed in a blue robe and sported a gentle smile.

If Chu Liang saw the man on the left, he would certainly recognize him. It was Beiming Palace Master Chen Mingcang.

During the last war at Shu Mountain, he was responsible for assassinating the prideful Disciple of Shu Mountain and almost succeeded in doing so. However, while he was fighting with Elder Chuan Jian, Empress Feng came to assist. A single flame almost burnt down his hundred years of cultivation.

It was with great difficulty that Chen Mingcang managed to escape.

After returning, he found out that his troops, who were not protected by a Palace Master, were annihilated by Master Wen Yuan on their way back from Shu Mountain.

From that point on, he was left alone.

Among the Netherworld Four Halls, his Beiming Palace had the most meticulous recruitment process. Unlike White Bone Hall, which takes in anyone, or Red Clothes Palace, which doesn’t recruit at all.

His men were his long-time training projects, who were potential cultivators capable of reaching the Seventh Realm. But they were all lost at Shu Mountain. From then on, he was disheartened.

Although he didn’t say it out loud, he couldn’t help but blame the Sect Master of Underworld King for the decision he had made, causing all this mess.

He was staying with his friend, Dan Qing Palace Master during the incident with Granny Meng and didn’t do much.

"Our Sect Master has been searching on Sealed Cliff Mountain for a day and a night and still can’t find where Granny Meng’s son’s body is buried. Could this be false information?" Chen Mingcang expressed his doubts.

"Granny Meng couldn’t have had any intention to betray the Sect when she mentioned this. There might be some techniques used to hide it, but it is definitely not false," responded Dan Qing Palace Master. He paused before adding, "We’ll know when she arrives."

While these two were discussing, they suddenly heard a whistling sound outside, followed by the loud laughter of Purple Gold Marquis.

"Purple Gold Marquis is here?" Chen Mingcang wrinkled his brow, "No one told him about this. It seems he must have spies among the Four Halls."

"That’s to be expected. But the ones I brought this time are all decoys, so none of them belong to him." said Dan Qing Palace Master.

"I don’t have any men left, so it’s impossible that they’re mine," Chen Mingcang said, "Red Clothes Palace has only a few Demon Consorts, it must be that fool White Bone Mountain Old Man."

As he said this, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Always likes to make a big show and cause trouble. Every time there’s a problem, it’s caused by him. The last defeat at Shu Mountain probably because of a traitor among his men. Otherwise, how could the plan have failed so thoroughly?"

Chen Mingcang was still bitter about their defeat at Shu Mountain.

"But, his force is the largest, and when it comes to significant operations, he’s the one we can’t do without." said Dan Qing Palace Master "After Purple Gold Marquis was seriously injured by Immortal Jiuyi, he only came out after secluding himself for a long time. It appears he has been harboring a lot of resentment and wants to do something big now."

"Ha, I’m curious to see what big move he has up his sleeve."

Chen Mingcang was also sensing Purple Gold Marquis’s aura. Before he could extend his divine sense to it, he was surprised to discover that the aura of Purple Gold Marquis, who had just arrived, suddenly began to rapidly disappear...

"Huh?" Dan Qing Palace Master looked puzzled, "Did Purple Gold Marquis leave again?"
