Chapter 639: Chapter 2: The Four Tyrants of Shu Mountain [Ask for Monthly Votes!]_1

This sword aura was like a star, like lightning, carrying an impending momentum!

Upon seeing this, Chu Liang’s body halted in the air, immediately coiled his long tail and with a clatter, offset the longsword. The spiritual power drawn above was scattered to the wind.

The person opposite was instantly astonished.

The one who attacked him was a trio of young men and women. The two young men were both wrapped in robes, one with a headband, a dark bronze complexion, and a sturdy body; the other slightly taller with a high forehead and broad eyes.

The young woman was the tallest of the three with thick golden wavy hair, amber eyes, snow-white skin, clearly a Western Region Barbarian girl.

The one who initiated the sword attack was the headband youth. Seeing his full force Sword Control Technique so easily shattered by the Evil Dragon, his expression changed. Immediately, he summoned a skyful of roiling clouds, seemingly a kind of divine skill to confuse the vision.

Chu Liang let out a light roar: "Hmph—"

Just once, and the surrounding fog instantly cleared.

Seeing the powerful Evil Dragon, the trio looked as if they were about to unleash their divine skills in desperation.

Chu Liang quickly shouted, "Hold!"

Then, he spun his body, revealing his original form and landed on the ground.

"Huh?" Seeing him transform into human form, the trio still maintained a high state of alert.

"Don’t be afraid, I am a human." Chu Liang spread his hands and smiled, "Earlier, I was merely testing my divine skill. You happened to see and suddenly attacked me."

However, his normally effective harmless smile that enhanced friendliness completely failed this time.

Their looks still held caution and hostility towards him, treating him like a demonic creature.

Chu Liang was slightly puzzled, hesitating slightly. Then he took a bronze mirror and looked at himself. Only then did he understand what was going on.

It turned out that his clothes were ragged and bloody, his hair disheveled, his beard and mustache unkempt, completely covering his face. After being quiet for a long time and suddenly transformed into a dragon, his body was full of a violent aura. His present appearance was even more terrifying than his dragon form, naturally making them fearful.

Immediately, Chu Liang tidied his hair with his hand like a knife, then condensed dew into water to thoroughly clean his face. He tore off his tattered outer garment and put on a new brocade robe.

After the change of clothes, he waved to the young men and women, "See? I’m really a good person."

Only then did the three of them start to waver and whisper to each other.

"Ah ..."

"He does seem to be a human."

"When he transformed into a dragon, he indeed didn’t have any demonic aura."

Seeing them whispering amongst themselves, Chu Liang laughed, "There’s no need to be alarmed, I am a disciple of Shu Mountain in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, my name is Chu... Liuxiang, I mean no harm."

Upon reaching his lips, he still chose to give a false name.

After all, having won the title of Immortal Door Champion, the name Chu Liang was likely to have been thoroughly circulated. If everyone knows that he is the Immortal Door Champion, they may also know who his master is.

He had been tricked too many times in the past.

"Shu Mountain?" Upon hearing these two words, the three of them looked bright and simultaneously said, "So you are a senior from Shu Mountain, we apologize for our previous rudeness."

"No formalities needed." Chu Liang casually waived his hand with a smile.

He never realized the name Shu Mountain would come in so handy before, so he sat down with the trio for some hearty chatter.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, the three apologised to him and explained their intentions.

...

The Ancient Dragon Nest is located in the Northwest Wilderness, well beyond the borders of the Yu Dynasty, the closest territories being the Western Countries. And these three were disciples from the Qi Feng Temple in Gao Yue Country, one of the Western Countries.

Chu Liang nodded in understanding when he heard this, it’s no wonder their appearance carried some foreign features.

There have been frequent anomalies in the Far West Land, and the Western Countries have often suffered under demonic disasters. Recently, a significant incident occurred in Gao Yue Country where the princess was kidnapped by an evil dragon during an excursion.

This incident shocked everyone in Gao Yue Country, and the monarch was extremely angry, immediately ordering the cultivators of the Qi Feng Temple in the country to locate the princess. They found out that an evil dragon, notorious for kidnapping women, resided in the ancient dragon nest, so they went to investigate.

However, they didn’t come across the evil dragon on their way to this place, but instead, they saw Chu Liang displaying his dragon form which they mistook for the culprit.

"Evil Dragon?" Chu Liang pondered.

The Ancient Dragon Nest had long been shattered, and now it was just a barren land. He hadn’t heard of any dragon race still dwelling in this land, he wondered when this new addition had occurred.

He had heard a little about Gao Yue Country, it was just one of the countless small nations in the western regions. But it was known for a plant called Red Moon Immortal Grass, which was unique in the world. This grass was an essential ingredient for many elixirs for healing wounds, and thanks to this plant, Gao Yue Country was relatively prosperous among the Western Countries.

However, only in comparison to the Western Countries.

The country could afford to maintain only one organization of cultivators, the Qi Feng Temple, similar in function to the Regent Residence of the Yu Dynasty but with the scale more akin to a small sect. The people standing in front of him were the disciples of Qi Feng Temple.

The young man wearing the headband was named Qi Lingshan, the tall youngster was named Qi Linmu, and the blond girl was named Qi Lingyue.

They were all around eighteen or nineteen years old, with their cultivation at the peak of the fourth realm, which was impressive indeed, and they were probably the best young people in Gao Yue Country.

Chu Liang was a little confused. The Western Countries also participated in the Immortal Sect Conference, why didn’t they recognize him?

So he asked, "You are all quite capable cultivators. Didn’t you participate in the Immortal Sect Conference?"

"Immortal Sect Conference?" Qi Lingshan was taken aback, then laughed: "Senior, you are joking. The Immortal Sect Conference is still six years away."

"Six years?"

Chu Liang’s brow furrowed.

The next one is six years away, which means the last one was six years ago.

This...

I’ve been lying here in the Black Dragon Secret Realm for a whole six years?!

No wonder his body felt rusty, so much time had already passed.

He suddenly felt a little dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. His mind was in chaos.

It wasn’t unusual for cultivators to meditate closed off from the world for a few years or even a few decades. But for Chu Liang, this was the first time he’d ever experienced time like this.

"Right, Senior." Qi Lingyue asked, "Since you are a disciple of Shu Mountain, you must know the Four Tyrants, right? Are you familiar with Jade Fan and Mountain Tiger? I heard they’ll be visiting Gao Yue Country in a few days!"

"Who are they?" Chu Liang was puzzled.

"The Four Tyrants of Shu Mountain." Qi Lingyue exclaimed in surprise, "They are the most famous and influential figures in all of Shu Mountain. Even all of the Western Country folks know about their prowess, and countless young girls dream of marrying them, don’t you know?"

Chu Liang was speechless.

The Four Tyrants of Shu Mountain...

Such a loud name. The only one from Shu Mountain I know who dares to be so bold is...

"Jade Fan and Mountain Tiger are nicknames. You might not know them." Seeing Chu Liang stumped, Qi Linmu quickly smoothed things over, "If we mention Jiang Hui Xu and Meng Shouyang, those are names everyone recognizes."

Chu Liang was stunned.

The three of them were silent.

Jiang Hui Xu, nicknamed Jade Fan; Meng Shouyang, nicknamed Mountain Tiger, were two of the Four Tyrants of Shu Mountain and were the most overbearing figures in recent years.

Considering this senior doesn’t seem that old and doesn’t even know this, it’s likely that his claim to be a disciple of Shu Mountain was false.

Even Chu Liang began to doubt himself.

He scratched his head, "It must be some kind of mistake?"
