Chapter 517: Chapter 95: I presume the Marquis has no objections, right? 【Monthly Ticket Wanted!】_1.

"Such folly!"

Thinking of his words to Immortal Qi Jing earlier in the day, Chu Liang couldn’t help but want to punch himself. Why did he have to run his mouth?

Sigh.

Now, as the father and daughter converse, Chu Liang finds himself the outsider who must respectfully withdraw...although he is indeed an outsider.

Despite seeing the complexity in Jiang Yuebai’s expression when he left and the lack of joy in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Tiankuo, Chu Liang knew that she has long awaited this reunion.

So deep down, he was happy for her.

If only this could have happened at a different time...

With that thought, Chu Liang languidly strolled out a distance of more than ten miles, before suddenly hearing the uproar of dense beast roars in the distance. The wind also carried a faint smell of blood.

What’s going on?

He felt something was amiss.

Although there are many demon beasts in this icy tundra, their territories are distinctly demarcated. They don’t interact much, and it’s rare to see large-scale gatherings for battles.

Such a strong bloody smell was definitely not common.

Thus, Chu Liang became cautious and flew towards the sound, his Divine Sense spreading out ahead of him.

As he neared the source, he saw four or five huge demon beast corpses lying haphazardly in front of a hidden cave. Each one was mutilated and soaked in blood. However, the steaming demon blood quickly froze upon touching the icy ground, evaporating wisps of smoke.

The surrounding area was attracting even more demon beasts, drawn here by the blood, and led to bite each other for the sake of the food, resulting in a loud rumble.

He slowly approached the mouth of the cave and witnessed a shocking sight.

At the edge of the cave lay a horrifying... no, half a corpse!

The bloody armor, the dreadful half-body covered in dried blood, was shocking to the eye. Yet the exposed golden bones showcased the extraordinary status that person held in life.

It was the skeletal remains of a Seventh Realm powerhouse!

Chu Liang immediately suspected the identity - could it be the Purple Gold Marquis himself, the one who claimed to be only "slightly injured" while protecting the Demon Sect?

No wonder his patience-testing trick didn’t work. So, he was dealing with a dead man’s patience! He was relieved that he didn’t continue the test, else he might not have seen the end even after Ji Family’s runaway competition was over.

The demon beasts outside the cave were probably attracted by the scent of the dying man, only to be counter-slaughtered by him. During this process, the Purple Gold Marquis exhausted his last breath.

But out of caution, Chu Liang didn’t go forward immediately to investigate. Instead, he used a summoned Dustless Sword to stab at the corpse a few more times... even though it was already mutilated and the marquis might not care.

After observing for a while and finding no signs of life or breath, Chu Liang finally approached to confirm the identity of the body.

Standing on the other side of the cave entrance, he lifted his hand and used True Qi to flip over the fallen body, revealing half a face. This face had one wide-open eye, giving an impression of dying with a grievance.

So tragic.

Just as Chu Liang let down his guard and thought that he must be truly dead, he noticed a point of Soul Fire suddenly burst out from the widely-opened eye!

Whoosh——

This point of light quickly penetrated into Chu Liang’s eyes!

Despite being cautious, with the injuries and time elapsed since the breath had left the body, there shouldn’t be any surprises even if it was a Seventh Realm powerhouse. But there was one unusual thing - this person was the Purple Gold Marquis.

Having delved into the soul path for a hundred years, the Purple Gold Marquis has soul strength that few in the Seventh Realm can match.

Even though half a day has passed since the demise of his physical body, he was still able to leave behind a flare of Soul Fire! The man was dead, but the soul lingered!

A mad roar of the Purple Gold Marquis echoed in the mind, "Ah— I will perish together with you!"

...

Boom——

Chu Liang felt as if his skull was being ripped apart by an immense force. The broken body of the Purple Gold Marquis penetrated his forehead, clutching his Godly Soul with a dead grip, making him unable to move.

He found himself in an utterly unfamiliar realm, surrounded by something like a profound blue ocean. Their figures were suspended within this ocean, and any slight ripple made Chu Liang feel dizzy with confusion.

This was his own inner realm of the Niwan Soul Sea!

"You’re so weak..." The Purple Gold Marquis’s soul was now like a dying candle flame, on the verge of extinguishing at any moment. But he was still much stronger than Chu Liang, who could hardly resist his force, "Who are you——"

His furious shout was hysterical. It was supposed to be a desperate act of revenge before dying, but it turned out to offer an unexpected gain.

"Marquis, I am Fifty-eight..." Chu Liang tried hard to answer, hoping that the Marquis might let him go.

Although he had never met the Purple Gold Marquis, his identity was now evident. Besides him, who else could have such a powerful residual soul?

The clash of the souls, different from the physical bodies, the stark difference is that even the slightest pain can immediately throw the consciousness into chaos.

He couldn’t think clearly.

"Your Soul Sea is so calm... Doesn’t matter, as long as I can kill your soul, I can take over this body and start cultivating again. Heaven has not forsaken me..." Purple Gold Marquis had already descended into madness.

After being besieged by a host of demon beasts and his physical vitality cut off, he had been in utter despair. Suddenly he found hope for survival again and naturally, he grasped it desperately.

As for the idea of overpowering others’ bodies, he had never given it a thought, because it was unrealistic.

Even if the soul is powerful, body possession is an arduous task. The Purple Gold Marquis might be able to take over mortals or cultivators of the first two realms, but if they reached the Third Realm of Divine Sense, it would be hard to win.

Because body possession requires one to take over the Soul Sea of the opponent, which was their domain. An invasion by a foreign soul would provoke the entire Soul Sea’s resistance; then the contest is not about the power of that single soul.

Under normal circumstances, the Soul Sea would either kill the invading foreign soul or explode and obliterate, only if the other party cooperates, then body possession can be completed.

But at this moment, when he invaded Chu Liang’s Soul Sea, he found that this area did not repel him, like two strangers fighting here, and the Soul Sea did not take sides.

In this way, even if he is a mere remnant soul, he is not something that Chu Liang’s soul can deal with. Naturally, he had the upper hand.

Chu Liang’s train of thought couldn’t function, suffocating at the level of his soul... After Purple Gold Marquis saw everything around him, he realized the situation he was in.

This is the depths of his Soul Sea, and he shouldn’t have let his opponent be so violent.

Why is it so calm here?

Is it because he himself is an outsider?

But if nobody is going to help him here, where is his home field? Thinking about it, Chu Liang tried to summon the White Pagoda with full focus.

Rumble——

With the movement of his mind, a familiar sensation returned, and his soul sunk back into the White Pagoda.

And Purple Gold Marquis, who was controlling him firmly, was taken aback and appeared in a peculiar space.

"Hmm?" Purple Gold Marquis was astonished, "What is this place?"

"This is your grave..." Chu Liang squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Then wait for me to kill you and explore slowly!" Purple Gold Marquis responded menacingly.

But what he didn’t notice was that there were more than the two of them on the battlefield. An entity wrapped in golden wings opened its eyes sluggishly, and saw them in a daze.

The two of them were engulfed in luminescence. Purple Gold Marquis was strangling Chu Liang’s neck as if to extinguish his light.

Tuntun blinked hard, and then furrowed her tiny eyebrows, "Bad..."

She wobbled up and flew over to Purple Gold Marquis. She bit onto his arm.

Whoosh——

It wasn’t even a bite, but rather a small suck and Purple Gold Marquis’s figure turned into a purple waterfall, which was sucked into Tuntun’s stomach.

"Ah!" Purple Gold Marquis let out a desperate scream. Seeing the hope of rebirth in front of him, he could only howl, "I am not willing ——"

If it wasn’t fate, why give me hope repeatedly? Is it just to make me despair again and again?

The once powerful protector of Demon Sect finally became silent.

"Phew..." Chu Liang let out a long sigh of relief.

He rested on the spot for a while before slowly regaining his spirit. Thinking about it carefully, his inspection steps were meticulous enough, and he just didn’t expect the life force of a Seventh Realm person to be so strong.

With only half a body left and the vitality completely cut off, the soul fire could still persist...

It’s frightening.

Looking at Tuntun by his side, who was once again bulging with food, he touched the little thing’s head and sighed, "You saved my life again, but after this meal, you’ll need three months to recover again..."

Leaving the White Pagoda, he slowly opened his eyes.

He was still in this icy cave, facing the corpse of Purple Gold Marquis, which was in a state of utter destruction. The death was rather peaceful. Now that his soul had dispersed, he naturally didn’t need to worry anymore.

Chu Liang directly searched and found a jade pendant similar to a Magical Storage Tool.

After putting away the jade pendant, he stood up and bowed to the half-corpse, with a compassionate look in his eyes. Even though his opponent had almost killed him just now, now that the dust has settled, he still prepared to show the greatest respect.

You could hear Chu Liang solemnly saying, "Marquis, you were a noted figure in the Demon Sect. To let you be exposed here, to become food for demon beasts, I really can’t bear it."

"After all, we at Shu Mountain attach great importance to humanity. Even though you’ve committed many evil deeds in your life, but when a person dies, it’s like a lamp extinguishing, the past will not be scrutinized. I will take you back to Shu Mountain for burial and let you rest in peace."

"Also, you asked me to bring you some Spirit Plants and Treasure Medicine earlier, but regretfully you did not make it till then. Later, I will plant some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in front of your spirit, letting them accompany you in your eternal sleep. Alas, it’s regretful that you couldn’t be left with a complete corpse..."

"Marquis, surely you won’t object?"
