Chapter 516: Chapter 94: I Didn’t Ask You to Come Now... [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Purple Gold Marquis composedly took his leave.

...

Within the thousand-year-old cavern beneath the glacier, Purple Gold Marquis felt an icy chill engulfing... no, covering half of his body.

He could feel his vital energy rapidly diminishing through the wound, despite his desperate attempts to use Divine Skills to heal it. Yet, the True Qi of the Eighth Realm powerhouse was still relentlessly gnawing at him. Had he not resisted with all his might, he would’ve probably lost even this surviving half of his body.

For such a powerful being, not dying with one hit could mean a possible rebirth with a single drop of blood.

Hence, high-ranking powerhouses usually cultivate True Qi with the ability to prevent wound healing. Of course, there are other solutions. For example, Empress Feng, her choice was to completely eliminate everything.

Even if you possess the ability to be reborn from a drop of blood, you still need to have a drop of blood, right?

The aftermath of Immortal Qi Jing’s attack though was even stronger than that of Immortal Jiuyi. That golden power kept gnawing at Purple Gold Marquis, causing him extreme distress and leaving him with no time to heal his injuries.

If he had a large amount of Treasure Medicine constantly supplying him with vital energy at this time, allowing him to continuously use True Qi to counterattack, he should be able to suppress it after some time.

However, his savings were completely used up during his last retreat when he needed to repair his body.

After several heavy injuries, his Soul Enforcers were reduced to just a few. With not many left to look for Spirit Plant Treasure Medicine for him, there was no stock at all.

At this moment, he could only put his hopes on Fifty-eight.

If at this moment Fifty-eight could immediately come to save him with Treasure Medicine, he wouldn’t mind appointing him as a Guide Envoy. He would even let Fifty-eight call him ’Dad’.

Because he had truly started feeling that life was swiftly draining away from his body!

As he anxiously waited, finally, a black silhouette landed on the glacier outside.

He’s here!

Purple Gold Marquis’ heart jumped with joy, as though he had grabbed a lifeline.

But he didn’t get hasty, instead, he carefully hid his aura and then used his Divine Sense to cautiously probe over there. He was a Seventh Realm cultivator himself and had deeply studied the godly soul, making his Divine Sense range much wider than other powerhouses.

That’s why he was confident of using this method.

He couldn’t resist a shudder of apprehension running through him at what he discovered.

The landing figure was robed in black, clearly the powerhouse who nearly wiped him out in a snap of his fingers!

Why is it him?!

The remaining half of Purple Gold Marquis’ chest heaved violently as he swiftly concealed his aura and suppressed the fluctuations of True Qi, not daring to make a sound.

The perception of an Eighth Realm powerhouse’s Divine Sense was terrifying, he didn’t dare make the slightest sound.

At the same time, he was also praying in his heart. He hoped the person had only happened to pass by, and wasn’t here for him. But why did he carry the aura of a Soul Summoning Order on him?

Could he be Fifty-eight?

No way... Absolutely impossible!

It must be because my godly soul is damaged now, and I made a mistake...

Right after that, he saw the man pull out the Soul Summoning Order.

He soon received a message.

[Fifty Eight]: "Marquis, I’ve arrived."

Huh?

Despair clenched at Purple Gold Marquis’ heart.

Something’s wrong.

It’s him.

The feeling was like a non-swimmer falling into water, just grabbing a lifeline, only to realize it’s a deadly snake.

Looks like the three-undercovers I had chosen to plant in the White Bone Hall, are actually undercover for them? How did this happen?

He was so furious, he wanted to beat the wall. But let alone if he had the strength to do so right now, he didn’t dare to make a move.

Making any sound would alert that man, and a mere snap of his fingers would annihilate him!

At this time and moment, all he could do was wait for him to leave, and then find another solution.

There’s a saying that if you escape a great disaster, you will have a blessed life. As long as I survive today’s crisis, I will surely make a comeback!

But this thought only flashed through his mind, and Purple Gold Marquis started to doubt again. He had already experienced a major disaster, the last time he lost half, and he had just come out of it.

Surviving a disaster, then facing another...seemed more like it.

At this point, all the misdeeds he had done in the first half of his life, all the innocent people he had killed, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood accumulated in the Underworld Heavenly Book, started to playback in his mind. Could this be retribution?

He couldn’t help but pray in his heart. God, if you save my life this time, I, Purple Gold Marquis, will definitely turn over a new leaf!

No sooner had this thought emerged, than he heard a heavy footstep.

Thump.

A large wolf head appeared at the mouth of the cave, full of anger at its territory being invaded.

No wonder there was such a concealed cave here. It turned out to be the nest of the Arctic Demons?

"Roar..." The massive wolf let out a low, muffled growl.

Purple Gold Marquis watched it with a single eye. In his peak state, he could kill this demon beast that appeared to be at the Fourth or Fifth Realm with a single glance.

However, his strength was now exhausted due to severe injury, and he could hardly move. If he made a desperate attack, there might still be a chance of fighting back.

But in doing so, the fluctuation of True Qi would inevitably be discovered by the Eighth Realm’s powerhouse, and his life wouldn’t be saved either.

Therefore, he couldn’t move. His only chance of survival was that this demon wolf would not eat him... better yet, it would bring him some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

With this thought in mind, he stared at the demon wolf with one eye and half-smiled.

The hesitant anger in the wolf’s eyes was finally fully ignited. This intruder not only occupied his nest... but dared to provoke him?!

"Roar——"

...

As dusk approached, mournful howls filled the air.

Although human traces were rare in this Northern Arctic, it was not devoid of life. There were quite a number of Arctic Demons, making it rather dangerous at night.

Chu Liang had been waiting for a long time, and his body had started to stiffen.

He didn’t dare to make any strange movements for fear of arousing suspicion from the Purple Gold Marquis. But it had been half a day. Even if there were suspicions, they should have been dispelled by now, right?

You aren’t in a hurry to heal, but I need to go home for dinner, hmm?

In the Soul Crystal, Jiang Yuebai occasionally sent him messages to inquire about his situation. But since the Purple Gold Marquis did not show up, Chu Liang was unwilling to just leave like this.

The stalemate persisted almost until nightfall.

Everything on Sealed Cliff Mountain had already ended. Several major sects had turned back, leaving only the people from Shu Mountain still waiting for Chu Liang’s news.

Purple Gold Marquis was really patient.

After several unsuccessful attempts to send out messages and getting no reply, Chu Liang finally decided to admit defeat. He told Jiang Yuebai to inform the elders of Shu Mountain to carefully search within a hundred miles in the direction he was in for any True Qi fluctuations.

Streams of light traveled back and forth in this area for a while, but found nothing.

A streak of light landed in the distance, revealing Jiang Yuebai’s figure on the glacier.

"It seems he has escaped. The Demon Sect really is cunning." Chu Liang said helplessly.

"You’ve done a great job this time." Jiang Yuebai’s sparkling eyes were filled with a smile. The moonlight cast on the vast white glacier reflected onto her fur-trimmed dress, giving her an ethereal glow. "You’ve shattered the Demon Sect’s grand plot and inflicted heavy losses on the Underworld King Sect. The Law Enforcement Elder says that these demonic cultivators won’t be able to stir up any trouble for a while. All of this is thanks to you."

"It was the joint effort of all of us." Chu Liang also smiled. After a pause, he added, "I saw Senior Qi Jing again. He confirmed that he is... Jiang Tiankuo."

"Ah." Jiang Yuebai’s smile suddenly stilled, and her gaze shifted as she quietly said, "I knew it was him."

"He said he was compelled by circumstances, which is why he couldn’t appear openly." Chu Liang said, "I think he will come to Shu Mountain to look for you once his affairs are settled."

"Let him be." Jiang Yuebai’s gaze dimmed slightly.

Seeing her look so heartbroken, Chu Liang went a step forward, gently held her hand, and reassured her, "It’s okay. Everything will get better."

Jiang Yuebai’s shoulders shook, but she neither made a sound nor moved, as if she were frozen.

Chu Liang’s face remained calm, but his heart was pounding.

The moon shone brightly on the endless glacier, casting a whitish glow onto the two of them. They were so close that they could feel the warmth of each other’s breath every time they spoke.

Aside from that accidental touch during the tournament, Chu Liang had never been this close to Jiang Yuebai before.

He suddenly felt that he should be braver.

He wondered if this might be the only opportunity in his life. If he missed it, he didn’t know when he might get a chance with such an atmosphere again.

So he inched closer to Jiang Yuebai’s ear and murmured, "I..."

Just as he got one word out, his pupils abruptly contracted, his eyes filled with panic, and he retreated a step.

Feeling his change, Jiang Yuebai finally lifted her gaze and asked, "You..."

She had just uttered a word when she heard Chu Liang stutter, "Uncle... Ah, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Yuebai turned around in surprise, only to see a tall, rugged figure under the moonlight behind her.

This figure was tall and handsome with a face revealing a complex expression. It was none other than Immortal Qi Jing.

"I..." Always cool and collected, Immortal Qi Jing seemed a bit nervous at this moment. He seemed to want to meet Jiang Yuebai’s gaze, but again he didn’t dare, so he turned his eyes on Chu Liang. "I thought about what you said, and felt that you were right. I should come to see her..."

The look he gave Chu Liang was very complicated. It seemed to be part apprehension, part resentment, part disdain, and part helplessness. His right hand subconsciously turned around his wrist, as if he wanted to cut something.

Chu Liang looked somewhat stunned, his eyes reflecting nervousness, relief, disappointment, and regret. For a moment, he felt like crying but had no tears.

Uncle, I asked you to come...but I didn’t ask you to come NOW...
