Chapter 519: Chapter 97 He Still Wants [Seeking Monthly Tickets!] _1

"I was originally a dancing girl in Jiangnan, who had a bit of a reputation. Regrettably, I was ill-fated and contracted a severe illness. It would’ve been better if I had died normally."

"But by chance, I was met by the Purple Gold Marquis. The instant my soul was departing my body, he took me in and used the Human-faced Jade Essence Flower to reconstruct my physical body."

"From then on, I found myself in this less-than-human, less-than-ghost form. He placed a restriction on me that forbade me from leaving this flying boat. The only option I had was to serve here."

"..."

Hearing Dream Soul Lady recount her background, the three people of varying ages nodded understandingly. They did not find her story to be unbelievable.

This was simply because her current condition was testament: although she possessed a physical body, she was full of yin energy. Moreover, she was indeed confined by the Purple Gold Marquis’ restriction and could not leave this place.

Listening to her plaintive tales of woe, it was difficult for them to not feel a sense of compassion.

Elder Chuan Jian then said, "Miss, there is no need for you to be so distressed. The Purple Gold Marquis has already been executed. I will help you lift the restriction and grant you freedom."

Chu Liang said, "But although she possesses a body, she is still considered a yin entity. If she ventures out and encounters someone from the righteous path, they could treat her as malicious spirit and punish her. If she meets people with ill intentions, she has little cultivation and no way to defend herself."

"Is Senior Brother Chu thinking of letting her stay?" Wen Yulong cautiously asked, "Would Senior Sister Jiang allow it?"

"I... I... Where did that idea come from?" Chu Liang hastily brushed a sleeve, "I’ve never had any inappropriate thoughts."

"Huh——" Elder Chuan Jian said, "Little Chu, it is only natural for a young man like you to have such thoughts. This flying boat is your war trophy. We have no right to interfere with how you dispose of it. If you decide to keep her, we will keep your secret. However, I have one piece of advice for you. In matters of the heart, constancy is of the utmost importance..."

Well, alright then.

What a righteous old man.

Chu Liang silently thanked them in his heart.

"That’s not what I meant..." He had to quickly explain, "My thought was, perhaps Dream Soul Lady can stay and live in Shu Mountain."

"In Shu Mountain?" Elder Chuan Jian asked, "Our disciples in Shu Mountain do not have a tradition of keeping yin entities. Wouldn’t she find it difficult to move around within the mountain?"

"I can find a job for her, let her save some money while also finding her a cultivation technique," Chu Liang said. "If she has different plans in the future, then it would naturally be up to her."

"Ah." Wen Yulong made a sound of realization,"You just want to trick her into working for you."

"How is this trickery?" Chu Liang looked at Dream Soul Lady, dead serious, "I am providing her with a job opportunity."

Dream Soul Lady looked back and forth between them, confused by this conversation. But she did understand one thing.

The current owner of the flying boat was this young man surnamed Chu.

Therefore, she immediately made a respectful bow, saying, "I am willing to be at your command."

Internally, Chu Liang was resisting a great temptation.

Of course, this temptation wasn’t anything else but the fact that this woman had used a Human-faced Jade Essence Flower to mold a physical body out of yin matter - she was essentially an upgraded version of a Human-faced Mandrill!

Moreover, after the refining process of the Purple Gold Marquis, her quality was undoubtedly higher than those wild Human-faced Mandrills that directly consumed Jade Essence Flowers. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have such complete intelligence and lack any ferocity.

Human-faced Mandrills are incredibly rare. Despite his long-term efforts to gather information from all over, he had only managed to collect a few of these big-headed babies. If he suddenly swung his sword now, maybe, he could get an extraordinary doll out of it.

But precisely because she was intelligent and clearly an innocent woman, Chu Liang couldn’t bring himself to do it.

So, he held back his tears and accepted this new employee.

However, when looking at Dream Soul Lady, he did feel a sense of regret. Oh, the big-headed babies! It could be said that his current cultivation level was mainly thanks to these smoking big-head babies.

How could he not be tempted?

Elder Chuan Jian, being an experienced person, saw Chu Liang’s lingering gaze. He smiled slightly, tugged Wen Yulong and whispered, "See that? He still wants it, haha."

...

This flying boat obviously wouldn’t have only one servant girl. The three of them quickly examined it and found it to be fully equipped with impressive abilities.

The Purple Gold Marquis had clearly invested great effort into the boat. Not only was the external material it was made from expensive and sturdy, the internal formations were also complex. Inside the cabin, there was a disc cast out of dark gold with a piece missing at the center. When Chu Liang fit the Iron Tag into the gap, it fit just right.

The flying boat immediately rumbled and stirred up spiritual energy.

After activating the formation, Chu Liang tested out its speed. Under gradual acceleration, it only reached its limit after some time. When the flying boat was at full speed, it could almost rival the full-fledged Wind Control Flight of a Seventh Realm expert!

It certainly couldn’t compare with divine skills like Vertical Golden Light, but for Chu Liang, it was already amazing. Moreover, the ride was incredibly smooth, without any turbulence or shaking.

There were several array runes on the disc. Chu Liang activated one of them and with a ’swish’, numerous stone statues popped up all around the deck. They were all figures holding weapons, like soldiers armed for battle.

At the emergence of this stone sculpture, Dream Soul Lady immediately emitted a lament of agony, "Ah..."

"This is the Soul Suppressing Stone Sculpture." Elder Chuan Jian immediately recognized it, "It’s specifically used for suppressing Yin entities."

Chu Liang hastily collected the array rune and then attempted to activate another array rune nearby.

Boom——

A black hole appeared on the flying boat with a mysterious bronze sphere popping out of it and causing a blast in the distance.

"It’s the Mystic Yin Thunder Killer." Chu Liang recognized this object.

"Senior Brother Chu, don’t test them one by one." Wen Yulong said, "Why not hand this flying boat to me? I’ll carefully inspect its powers, then modify it according to your ideas before giving it back for your use."

"That works too." Chu Liang also felt that the formations on this flying boat were complicated, and it would take some time to test them all, so he simply handed it to Wen Yulong to handle.

"Obviously, all these devilish methods have to be eliminated, and the colors are also ugly. It’d be better to repaint it in a cleaner color." said Chu Liang.

"It seems like this flying boat can also be controlled through spirituality?" Elder Chuan Jian who was exploring the other side made a discovery, "This is indeed quite interesting."

"That’s not possible." Chu Liang immediately shook his head, "Someone has to be at the controls. Otherwise, problems might arise."

The three of them took a round in the sky and then landed the flying boat at the back of Chuan Jian Hall. Afterwards, Chu Liang stored it for the time being. Overall, he was very satisfied with this flying boat - at least there was something usable amidst all the seizures from the Purple Gold Marquis.

Having returned to Chuan Jian Hall, the three of them opened the chest again.

"I’ll get another nice item." Wen Yulong gave a little laugh, reached inside and pulled out a weapon.

It looked like a large sickle, with a strange blue chill coming off the blade. At first glance, it was clearly a wicked weapon.

"This is the Soul-harvesting Sickle." Elder Chuan Jian said, "The blade is made of a specially refined material. A tiny cut can suck the soul out of the victim’s wound. It’s deadly."

Chu Liang reached in again and pulled out a very sinister and menacing book.

He had seen this object before, and immediately recognized it now: "The Underworld Heavenly Book!"

Flipping open the Purple Gold Marquis’s Underworld Heavenly Book, every page was filled with ominous energy that filled the room with a chilling breath, with the sound of ghostly wailing seeping through the pages!

"The Purple Gold Marquis truly committed heinous crimes; this Underworld Heavenly Book cultivates livestock souls to consolidate his own cultivation. I wonder how many innocent lives he has harmed to reach the level he’s at today..." Elder Chuan Jian angrily said.

At that time, the Soul Envoys roamed all over the world to help gather the living souls for the Purple Gold Marquis. There was also a monthly Soul Collection Conference, where each Soul Envoy was required to hand over a living soul to the Marquis. Extra souls could be exchanged for his cultivation techniques or medicine rewards.

Since Chu Liang had infiltrated for a long time, he naturally understood this.

However, seeing the numerous resentful souls at this moment still made him feel that the Marquis’s death was too peaceful. This man’s sins were deemed grave enough to send him to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer.

"This book needs to be exorcized immediately," Elder Chuan Jian added.

When Wen Yulong reached in again, he pulled out a jet-black token that was the size of a palm. Emblazoned on it were the words "Dharma Protector." The token was exuding some sort of spirituality, carrying a sense of majesty akin to that of an ancient beast.

"Is this the Demon Sect’s Guardian token?" Elder Chuan Jian examined it and said, "The spirituality on it appears to be some unique secret technique used to denote status."

"Does that mean that whoever holds this token would become a protector of the Demon Sect?" Chu Liang asked.

"If they have never seen the Purple Gold Marquis, they might recognize this token," Elder Chuan Jian said.

Chu Liang then silently put this token away as well.

Purple Gold Marquis died subtly, maybe only a few people knew about it. He did not plan to publicise it; this token might come in handy someday if stored away.

They continued to search and pulled out a pile of bottles and jars all containing the large batch of Yin souls that Purple Gold Marquis held captive. They numbered almost one hundred.

However, similar to other Soul Envoys, to prevent the Yin souls from rebelling, he had set his soul fire seal on these Yin souls. Therefore, when he died, these Yin souls also perished.

Dream Soul Lady, due to her complete lack of combat power, was probably not seen as a threat by Marquis and so he hadn’t bound her with soul fire, allowing her to survive the disaster.

When Chu Liang reached in again, another letter was pulled out of the few remaining items.

"Huh?" Curious, he unwrapped it, "Is there a reason why Marquis kept this letter?"

Upon opening it, the contents of the letter were rather shocking.

"I heard that Marquis is getting better, it’s gratifying to know that you are more powerful than before. The Immortal Sect grand event is approaching, and we at the Western Sea Department will gather in Yu Capital City. At that time, we will use thunderous strikes to overturn the heavens and earth. We sincerely invite all the capable individuals of the Demon Sect to join us." The letter was signed by Immortal Yuan Lu.
