Chapter 518: Chapter 96: Open the Box Again [Looking for Monthly Ticket!] _1

A little while later, Jiang Yuebai sent a message through the Soul Crystal, indicating that he could return to them.

Chu Liang returned to the top of the glacier where they had started, and saw the father and daughter standing together. They did indeed look similar. It had to be said, the Jiang Family’s genes were quite good.

Among the Three Great Ancient Families, compared to the Xia Family and Ji Family... at least the normal member ratio of the Jiang Family was the highest.

Their number was just a bit less.

The expressions of the father and daughter were unusually calm, and it was unclear what they had just been discussing. After Chu Liang arrived, they glanced at each other, and there was still some awkwardness.

The happy scene that had been interrupted by Immortal Qi Jing was all too fresh in their minds, and they probably remembered it instantly as well. Chu Liang quickly said, "I just found the body of the Purple Gold Marquis over there."

But he didn’t mention the matter of the Purple Gold Marquis’ Godly Soul invading his soul sea. That incident was quite strange and it might involve his greatest secret, he would need to carefully ponder over it.

"Oh ...", Immortal Qi Jing said, "You mean the one I killed with a flick of my finger?"

Only after he recounted his actions did Chu Liang realize who was responsible for the calm death of the Purple Gold Marquis, and he couldn’t help but be astonished.

Indeed, the higher the realm, the greater the gap.

The Seventh Realm was already regarded as a high existence in their eyes, but in Immortal Qi Jing, who existed in the Eighth Realm, it was as insignificant as an ant which could be wiped out with a flick of a finger.

At this point, Jiang Yuebai’s expression became somewhat heavy.

Chu Liang noticed and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

The Purple Gold Marquis was undoubtedly a powerful cultivator in the Seventh Realm, this much was indisputable. From this, one can also understand just how difficult it is for a Seventh Realm cultivator to compete with an Eighth Realm.

Even the Underworld King Sect Master had to gain the recognition of Ksitigarbha’s True Body, and with the help of this Top Ten Divine Artifact, to achieve success in his path.

If Daoist Yan wanted to snatch the Sword Cultivation Path, it would probably be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Jiang Yuebai must be worried for her teacher.

Chu Liang thought about his own teacher and in this aspect, he wasn’t worried. While others had to rely on divine artifacts to pursue their paths, his own teacher’s devotion was enough.

After all, others were fighting for a path, she was fighting for inheritance.

Suddenly, Immortal Qi Jing put his hand on Chu Liang’s shoulder and laughed, "Treat my daughter well. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that my finger won’t itch someday."

Chu Liang instantly got goosebumps and quickly nodded, "Uncle Jiang, please be assured!"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yuebai glanced at Immortal Qi Jing unhappily, turned around and flew towards Shu Mountain on her own.

"Alright, you should go back too." Immortal Qi Jing finally let go of Chu Liang, "We will meet again if destiny allows."

After Chu Liang said goodbye to him, he hurriedly flew forward to catch up with Jiang Yuebai.

The two of them advanced side by side, and at a leisurely pace, he asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"It’s nothing..." Jiang Yuebai shook her head lightly, "It’s just him telling me about what he’s been doing these years."

Chu Liang looked at her expression, although it was still as indifferent as when they parted before, there seemed to be some subtle changes.

However, since she did not want to say more, Chu Liang did not ask further.

He believed in Jiang Yuebai’s wisdom and ability, which were enough for her to handle any problem, and she didn’t need others to worry for her.

...

At dawn the next day, Chu Liang went to the Chuan Jian Hall early in the morning.

He had arranged a meeting with Wen Yulong. They planned to open the box here and inspect the magical storage tool of the Purple Gold Marquis. Not only did he invite Wen Yulong, but Chu Liang also invited Elder Chuan Jian to come.

After all, the practices of the demonic cultivators were strange, and there might be some dangerous things, so it was better to have someone capable present.

"Hahaha..." Elder Chuan Jian laughed heartily, his blue, gold-filled eyes shining brightly, "Who would’ve thought that, among our large group of people, the one to reap the most was you, the one who had discovered the Purple Gold Marquis."

"Just good luck." Chu Liang smiled.

"You’re our hero this time. If you hadn’t infiltrated the Demon Sect, we wouldn’t have been able to thwart their plans twice." Elder Chuan Jian said, "The Purple Gold Marquis is your rightful reward."

"Let’s open it and see what’s inside." Wen Yulong, unable to hide his excitement, suggested.

"Alright." Chu Liang nodded, "The usual rules, one hand each."

This wasn’t the first time he and Wen Yulong were opening a box, the two had their own procedure.

The storage jade pendant of Purple Gold Marquis surprisingly didn’t have any strict prohibitions. After all, those who could snatch a magical storage tool from his hands wouldn’t be deterred by a prohibition.

Chu Liang smiled, his divine sense probed into the storage jade pendant, and he casually picked something out.

He placed it on the table and found it was a Black Iron Box. After opening the box, inside were two rows of black cones about the thickness of a finger.

Chu Liang recognized the item at a glance, it was the Soul Piercing Nail, a tool commonly used by the Soul Envoys.

"Soul Piercing Nail..." Elder Chuan Jian knitted his brows, "This wicked magic artifact of the Underworld King Sect is extremely evil. It must be destroyed."

Chu Liang asked, "Can’t we use it?"

Elder Chuan Jian shook his head, replying, "Every Soul Piercing Nail is forged with fresh souls. It’s used to inject the refined soul into a person’s body, and then instantly take over the body with that soul, hence binding the person’s divine soul. This sinister magic weapon must be exterminated by freeing the captive souls within."

So, this is how it works... Chu Liang was learning about the principle of the Soul Piercing Nail for the first time.

However, it was rather normal for the exclusive magic weapon of the Underworld King Sect’s disciples to be somewhat bizarre. If this thing was overused, it would be hard to avoid heavenly punishment.

Even the mighty Purple Gold Marquis couldn’t escape a tragic death.

When it was Wen Yulong’s turn, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He reached out and took out a jade slip.

After examining it, Elder Chuan Jian said "This is the orthodox cultivation technique of the Underworld King Sect. It’s detailed and contains several secret techniques that we’ve never confiscated before. This can be stored in the Law Protection Hall."

Chu Liang had already studied the history of the Underworld King Sect during his early days of undercover work.

The Underworld King Sect’s so-called soul envoys were disciples practicing orthodox cultivation techniques of the sect, which was made up of Xuan Yinzi, the Protector, Silver King, Purple Gold Marquis and their henchmen.

It was only after the incumbent Sect Master of the Underworld King Sect ascended the throne that he expanded the Netherworld Four Halls, recruiting various people from the Demon Sect. Such expansion greatly increased its power, but also made the Protectors’ standing extremely awkward.

The orthodox disciples, on the other hand, were somewhat marginalized and suppressed. At root, it was because they were direct successors of the previous Sect Master.

Previously, when the Providers were powerful, the current Sect Master could balance the situation. But with the Silver King’s death and the Purple Gold Marquis’s serious injury, the Four Halls openly oppressed the power of the Protectors, which the Sect Master of Underworld King Sect blatantly ignored, because of these very reasons.

Now that this issue is gone, the orthodox direct successors of the Underworld King Sect have been completely cut off.

The previous two chances had basically not yielded useful results. To the current Chu Liang, even if these confiscated Demon Sect techniques and magic artifacts were submitted, the rewards given were meaningless.

He hoped to stumble upon something useful.

Hence, he silently gathered his strength, preparing to reach for the third item.

Whoosh——

With a flash of light, a black iron tag appeared in his palm. It was inscribed with some strange patterns and four engraved words "Soul Dream Flying Boat".

"What is this?" He asked curiously, "Is it a Flying Boat?"

"It should be. Try activating it," Elder Chuan Jian reminded, "But you need to go outside."

Listening to his advice, the three of them exited Chuan Jian Hall together and went to an open space behind the mountain, where Chu Liang activated the iron tag using True Qi.

Boom——

With a loud wind whistling noise, a quite colossal flying boat suddenly appeared in front of them!

The hull was dark gold in color as if it were forged with gilded black meteorite iron, giving it a somewhat mysterious look. It was about ten yards long and five to six yards high, with a flag that read "Purple Gold Marquis" fluttering atop.

Indeed, it was the flying boat owned by the Purple Gold Marquis.

"Ah," Elder Chuan Jian sighed suddenly, "Back in my day, my ride was even more majestic ..."

"Later, you can also start some business at the Red Cotton Peak and quickly earn them back." Chu Liang hastened to console.

To help Shu Mountain recover its lost treasures, the old man had almost sold all his belongings, only keeping some items crucial for survival. Now he would mumble about it every now and then when he saw other people, it seemed he really missed what he had sold.

The trio then boarded the flying boat. As Elder Chuan Jian landed, he remarked, "This flying boat isn’t just made of common black meteorite iron. It’s actually made from refined Primordial Black Gold Iron, such a huge piece... This grandson was really rich."

Chu Liang laughed. If not for the profits, why would someone venture into the darkness?

While looking around the upper level, they saw a blue silhouette floating gently out of the cabin, who said softly, "Is the master back?"

The three of them looked and found a tall woman wearing a veil, a breast wrap, and a short skirt. Her skin was as translucent as milky-white jade, her eyes were deep and exotic, her gaze was soft like water and naturally alluring.

She was a beautiful woman dressed in airy clothes.

Chu Liang was quite surprised. Was she alive?

How did she manage to live inside this magical storage tool’s flying boat?

Just as Chu Liang was puzzled, the woman asked in surprise, "Are you... friends with the master?"

"The master you refer to, is he the Purple Gold Marquis?" Elder Chuan Jian asked.

"Yes." The woman nodded lightly.

"Purple Gold Marquis was full of evil deeds. He has been destroyed by the forces of the Righteous Path." Elder Chuan Jian paused before continuing, "Are you his servant and also a disciple of the Demon Sect?"

"Ah?" The woman stepped back, kneeling on the ground, "Not at all, I was also trapped on this flying boat by him."

"Get up and speak..." Elder Chuan Jian commanded her to stand up, "Tell us about your background."

"Yes." The woman slowly stood up and started speaking, "I am called Dream Soul Lady."
