Chapter 583: Chapter 56 - I Sit on the City Tower Watching the Mountain Scenery [Seeking Monthly Ticket!] _1

The alliance of the Imperial Family, Ascending Dragon Academy, Chonglou Temple, and Night Blade Sect are currently led by the Sixth Princess. Even though Minister Zhang joined later, his opinions are equally important. However, he is modest and not argumentative, thus he doesn’t speak much.

Earlier, someone delivered a letter.

"It’s from Ye Yongxing of Tianshu Pavilion." After reading it, the Sixth Princess informed everyone: "He invites us to join forces to attack the Shu Mountain alliance."

"Tianshu Pavilion?" Guo Zhanfeng questioned: "They should align with the Heavenly King Sect and Sea King Sect, their strength is not weak. If we can join hands with them, capturing Shu Mountain and defeating the Heavenly Gang Sect would not be a problem."

"Chu Liang has stolen many soul crystals from Penglai. Even if we split them equally, it would be enough for us to reach our upgrade quota." Feng Yan from Chonglou Temple added.

"But..." Minister Zhang hesitated, "The Heavenly King Sect and Shu Mountain have always been on good terms. Would they really be willing to betray Shu Mountain at such a critical moment?"

"Feng Chaoyang is brave but lacks strategy. He may not have considered this." Guo Zhanfeng stated: "He has always believed his strength to be on par with Yang Shenlong. Since Chu Liang killed Yang Shenlong, he naturally wants to prove himself."

"Before Yang Shenlong’s death, no one surpassed him. After Yang Shenlong’s death, all these people claiming to be his equals have appeared." Guo Zhanlei mocked.

The Sixth Princess passed the letter around for everyone to read, then said: "Precisely because Chu Liang has the power to defeat Yang Shenlong, they are wary of him. Ye Yongxing’s letter mentions his ability to divine that Shu Mountain will win the Immortal Sect competition. Now is the only chance to remove Chu Liang. If we let him enter the Imperial City’s battle, it will be even harder to beat him."

Everyone attending the Immortal Sect competition aims to win. Even if two Immortal Sects have a long-standing good relationship, they won’t hesitate at this moment, which is quite normal.

The Thirteenth Prince declared: "This is a rare opportunity and we shouldn’t miss it. If we suspect a trap, why not make some arrangements?"

"..."

After some discussion, they assembled their forces, took up arms, and made their way to Luoyang.

They were heading towards the location provided by Ye Yongxing. As they approached, they saw a young monk in a white robe pushing a small wooden cart and waiting on a hillside.

On the cart sat a handsome young boy with a smile on his face, humming something: "I sit on the city wall, watching the mountain views..."

"Chu Liang!" Different people recognized him immediately.

"Brother Zhang, long time no see." Chu Liang greeted Minister Zhang first and then loudly addressed the crowd downhill: "Please forgive me as I am seriously injured and find it difficult to stand and receive you. I invite you all to come up the hill for a chat."

Chu Liang’s calm demeanor stopped everyone in their tracks.

Chu Liang was known for his intelligence and became famous in Nine Heavens and Ten Lands since he emerged. Facing an advancing army, he didn’t retreat or dodge, instead, he invited them. Could this be a trap?

"Hmph, trying to mystify." Guo Zhanfeng snorted, ready to make a move.

At this point, the monk standing beside Chu Liang, Pu Shan, suddenly fluttered his robe, causing Guo Zhanfeng to pause.

Then, Monk Pu Shan pulled out a feather fan and started to fan himself gently. At the same time, he looked at the crowd with a wicked, reckless smile. His face seemed to say: "Come on, make a move."

"..." This provocative attitude made everyone furious.

Not just Guo Zhanfeng, but also the martial monks from Chonglou Temple made a move, ready to charge.

At that moment, Monk Pu Shan flapped his robe, turned around and seemed to take out something.

Everyone paused in their tracks again.

When Monk Pu Shan turned back around, he held in his hand—a tangerine. He started to calmly peel and eat it.

"..." Everyone was speechless. Why make such a fuss over a tangerine?

At that time, the Thirteenth Prince shouted: "They are clearly stalling for time, the majority of our forces are currently in battle against the Tianshu Pavilion. We should quickly move forward and deal with them."

No one disagreed with his proposal. Everyone then crowded and surged, flying up the hillside.

...

Just as the people from the Imperial Family rushed up the hillside, they heard a loud roar, the weather changed drastically, and the surroundings darkened. A crude and vast power descended, as if it were going to crush and grind their bodies.

Groups of soldiers emerged from both sides.

Was it really an ambush?

This thought flashed through everyone’s minds.

The Heavenly Gang Sect, Nanyin Square, Sanjue Valley... Apart from these people from Shu Mountain, there were also the people from Tianshu Pavilion, Heavenly King Sect, and Sea King Sect.

These groups, who should have been allied with the Imperial Family, now stood by Shu Mountain side. This formidable formation was the work of Ye Yongxing.

This genius from Tianshu Pavilion has indeed quite a mastery of formations.

If these people were to rush out rashly, the Alliance of the Imperial Family might be able to escape, but now they are trapped within the formation, their movements are constrained. It is too late for them to escape.

The Heavenly Gang Sect and the Heavenly King Sect are like wild dogs that have slipped their leads, fiercely storming into the formation of the Imperial Family.

The forces of Nanyin Square and Tianshu Pavilion were assisting from behind, performing miracles. The Sea King Sect and Sanjue Valley played similar roles, carrying out surprise attacks from the sides.

Ye Yongxing stood beside Chu Liang, smiling, "Thanks to Brother Chu’s brilliant strategy by luring the enemy deeply into the trap, otherwise, it would be difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"It’s all due to Brother Ye’s foresight and wisdom, as knowing the enemy’s next move in advance is more important." Chu Liang complimented in return.

"Brother Chu is resourceful," Ye Yongxing said.

"Brother Ye is the key," Chu Liang laughed.

Watching the two men laugh and compliment each other, Monk Pu Shan couldn’t help but think of the phrase "colluding with each other" .

He also laughed and said, "Both of you are crucial to the success of this operation, no need for modesty."

Ye Yongxing, who was having an enjoyable conversation with Chu Liang, gave a quick look at Monk Pu Shan, immediately showing an unbearable expression, and turned his face away without saying a word.

"..." Monk Pu Shan was, nevertheless, quite accustomed to this.

Aside from conversing normally with Chu Liang, Ye Yongxing was somewhat introverted when interacting with his fellows from Tianshu Pavilion. It wasn’t something personal against Monk Pu Shan.

The fight on the other side was approaching its end, with the majority of the troops from the Imperial Family Alliance were nearly wiped out, leaving only the Thirteenth Prince.

He simply discarded his weapon and sat on the ground with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" Chu Liang looked at him with some curiosity, "Why does your highness laugh?"

"I laugh at your lack of wisdom." The Thirteenth Prince shook his head, "We anticipated this trip might be a trap, so we have already given the Soul Crystals to a dedicated caretaker. Even if you kill us here, there will not be many gains for you."

Chu Liang had actually noticed this point earlier.

In the attack on Shu Mountain, there was only Minister Zhang from Ascending Dragon Academy, and only Guo Zhanfeng from Night Blade Sect, and one less martial monk from Chonglou Temple.

While it is normal for some numbers to be reduced, it now seemed likely that they also feared something would happen to their main force, so they each dispatched some individuals to protect the majority of the Soul Crystals to ensure advancement opportunities for their respective sects.

The Imperial Family, being indifferent to advancement, had both the Sixth Princess and the Thirteenth Prince attend.

"I wish them good luck then." Chu Liang replied with a smile.

...

Within a rocky mountain by the coast, Xu Fangling, Guo Zhanlei, and a martial monk from Chonglou Temple were gathering, all a bit gloomy.

Fearing that this trip might be a trap, they entrusted the majority of the Soul Crystals to the three of them, who did not participate in the battle but must survive at all costs.

Although these three were the weakest in their respective groups, they still hoped to participate, naturally they were displeased.

"What’s that?" Xu Fangling suddenly noticed a flash of light over the distant waves, watching it with slight intrigue.

Soon, the source of the light was clear. It appeared to be a cultivator walking on the waves, brilliant light radiating from him.

"Is there an enemy?" The three instantly rose to their feet, on high alert.

In a flash, the figure emanating light landed before them. It was a tall young man, somewhat languid, looking like he had just woken up.

"Ah..." He yawned, then looked at the three and said, "Sorry, but I’ll be taking your Soul Crystals."

"Who are you?" Guo Zhanlei demanded, "You sure have a big mouth."

The young man nonchalantly replied, "I am Li Guanlong, from the Misty Mountain."
