Chapter 685: Chapter 44 You are not him [Seeking monthly tickets!]_1

The Breath Concealment Robe can hide one’s face, revealing only a part of the shadow, which is not unusual for those of them who mingle within the criminal underbelly. After all, real cultivators identify people based on their aura, not their physical appearance.

It was for this reason that Huo Tianya could sense that Chu Liang was different from the previous Purple Gold Marquis.

When he met the Purple Gold Marquis, it was during a major battle between the Purple Gold Marquis, Silver King and Immortal Jiuyi. He watched from the dark, and only then could he confirm that the Purple Gold Marquis was indeed his original self. With this knowledge, he had the confidence to ask today.

Hearing Huo Tianya’s words, Wang Xuanling suddenly tensed up, his thoughts attaching to the Demon-slaying Sword, ready to strike at any moment.

In his heart, he calculated quickly. Although Immortal Yuan Lu was a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, what had arrived here was merely the Seventh Realm avatar of himself, which was not enough to be feared. Huo Tianya was a stronger threat, but with the Demon-slaying Sword in hand, he should still be able to resist.

It’s just that Sea Master...

He appeared not to be human, but a transformed sea demon. The reason for not sensing any demonic aura was firstly because he did not deploy his Mystical Demonic Technique, and secondly because his cultivation level was far higher than his own.

The chances are high that he’s a Giant Demon of the Eighth Realm!

Even though the Demon-slaying Sword is highly effective against demonic creatures, it’s very unlikely that it can help overcome the large cultivation gap. If a fight were to start, considering he would be battling against three alone, it seems unlikely he would escape death.

He could possibly have a chance to escape if that was the only goal, but how could he leave Chu Liang behind?

He is the hope of Shu Mountain.

At this point, Old Wang decided that if the Evil Demon were to strike, he would let Chu Liang take the Demon-slaying sword and leave, sacrificing himself to hold these people back. The Demon-slaying Sword was just found after years of being lost, and it absolutely can’t be lost again in this place.

It’s a pity that Ziyang hasn’t been found yet, my disciple, I still have many things I haven’t had a chance to tell you...

"Hehe." Just when Old Wang was pondering his last words in his heart, Chu Liang suddenly gave a faint smile.

Hmm?

Upon hearing this calm laughter, Wang Xuanling’s eyes widened in surprise. Could there be some sort of turning point?

He had long been aware of Chu Liang’s astonishing abilities, could it be that even in such a situation, he still had some way to turn things around?

In the next moment, Chu Liang revealed his true face by lifting his mask.

Wow, so he’s just giving up?

Wang Xuanling’s Demon-slaying Sword was on the verge of being drawn, given he was thinking of attacking first... But then he heard Chu Liang laugh again: "Have you seen this face of mine before?"

"Chu Liang?" Huo Tianya asked in surprise.

He had met Chu Liang before. More recently, as the Immortal Door Champion who caught the attention of the world, it was not surprising that he, a man from Mars, had vivid memories of him.

"Yes, it’s him." Chu Liang laughed,"Since Mr. Huo recognizes me, why hasn’t he attacked yet?"

This question, however, left Huo Tianya speechless.

After a careful look around, Huo Tianya also chuckled lightly, shaking his head confidently: "You are not him."

"Oh?" Chu Liang asked: "Mr. Huo, are you so sure?"

"If you were truly a disciple of the righteous Shu Mountain, would you dare to walk freely into this building? And how could Senior Xuan Yinzi fail to recognize you?" Huo Tianya took a step back and sat down, smiling confidently: "Moreover, it is known to all that Chu Liang disappeared entirely for six years. Suddenly appearing today, there must be something fishy, right?"

"Mr. Huo is indeed clever." Chu Liang gave him a approving look. "I was seriously injured by a pointer from Immortal Qi Jing on the Sealed Cliff Mountain in the North Region. Later, I was discovered by this little thief from Shu Mountain who tried to kill me. Thanks to my cultivation of Soul Magic, I was able to hide a fraction of my soul inside his body. When he was seriously injured later, I took the opportunity to take over his body. These six years of hiding have been to recover."

"Indeed." Immortal Yuan Lu also said, "Purple Gold Marquis and Chu Liang...both have not been seen in the last six years."

Huo Tianya’s gaze shifted, "So, the Purple Gold Marquis can disguise himself as Chu Liang and infiltrate Shu Mountain?"

"Haha!" Chu Liang laughed, "Mr. Huo is indeed clever, that’s exactly my next plan. This little thief is highly regarded in Shu Mountain. If I returned with his identity, I would surely have access to the secrets of the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon."

"If Purple Gold Marquis pretends to be Chu Liang, he must be careful of his master." Huo Tianya warned: "That Shu Mountain’s Empress Feng is extremely ferocious and is even ten times more wicked than us. If she finds out, it would be dangerous."

They had suffered multiple losses at the hands of Empress Feng and it was clear that they were still apprehensive about her. Hearing this, even Old Wang who had been silent and tense beside them couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "Indeed!"

...

After the tumult settled, Chu Liang put his hood back on, hiding his face. In his heart, Old Wang quietly gave Chu Liang a thumbs up. After being apart for six years, this little one’s ability to spin tall tales had certainly improved.

If Ziyang had even a fraction of this knack for getting out of trouble, he wouldn’t have to worry about him all the time, would he?

"Let’s get back to business. The matter in the Southern Sea is an operation jointly conducted by me, Mr. Huo, and our Ruins Sea Clan." Said the Sea Master. "The purpose is not genuinely to make a landing, but to even if we don’t succeed, to attract the attention of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands."

"The Yu Dynasty cannot endure much longer, facing attacks from all sides." Huo Tianya added.

"Yet without a Divine Artifact, we will ultimately not be able to turn the tide." Immortal Yuan Lu said.

"Divine Artifact huh..." Huo Tianya chuckled.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard another Shrimp Head Spirit Demon entering and reporting, "Mister Navy, the Divine Envoy of the Far West Demon Clan is here."

"Oh?" Navy looked outside, "They’ve arrived quickly."

Huo Tianya whispered, "The matter being discussed with the Far West Demon Clan isn’t good for others to listen to."

Navy then said to Wang Xuanling and Immortal Yuan Lu, "Since we’re going to meet, please take your people to rest in the quiet room on the side. After I finalize the plan with the Divine Envoy of the Far West Demon Clan, we can discuss it together."

"To think that the Sea Demons of the Southern Sea have a connection with the Far West Demon Clan as well, we will wait in quiet then." Immortal Yuan Lu got up to say.

"That would be best." Wang Xuanling also got up to leave.

They were led to the third floor by the shrimp soldiers, the second floor had no rooms, but the third was lined with quiet rooms. Wang Xuanling and the demon cultivators from the Western Sea Demon Sect were placed in two adjacent rooms.

When Chu Liang walked out, he glanced down and indeed saw a familiar black-robed man, wearing an odd bronze mask.

After learning about this mask of the Demonic Clan’s Divine Envoy, Chu Liang knew that it was a mask that was blessed by the Demon God in the temple, and only the most devout believers could wear it. If not, one could recognize it instantly.

Yet he had worn it several times and was not recognized.

He was unclear about the reason.

Chu Liang even suspected that the silly Little Tuntun he was raising was really the Demon God’s god itself? Could that be the reason?

However, when he first put on the mask, Tuntun hadn’t appeared yet.

In short, he couldn’t figure out the exact reason.

Once inside the quiet room, Wang Xuanling said, "The first floor of this pavilion is empty, and the second floor has no compartments. If Ziyang is trapped here, he is probably also in one of the quiet rooms on this third floor."

"So shall we go and take a look?" Chu Liang asked.

"The whole building has been refined, and is actually a magical artifact." Wang Xuanling frowned, "If the rooms are locked, it is difficult for escape techniques to penetrate. If I use the Demon-slaying Sword to hack through it, I might be able to open a path, but it may inevitably cause a commotion, alerting the people outside."

"I have a way." Chu Liang immediately laughed.

You do?

Wang Xuanling looked at Chu Liang in amazement, thinking how this kid seemed to always have a solution?

Chu Liang then took out the little Tuntun, who was still sleeping, held her in his hand, and gently awakened her, "It’s mealtime."

The little creature instantly perked up and sat up.

"This is..." Wang Xuanling’s pupils contracted, "A Heaven Devouring Beast! This creature is a demonic creature that must be exterminated as soon as it appears!"

Chu Liang quickly covered Little Tuntun’s ears, "What are you saying in front of a child?"

"Once this creature matures, it could bring great calamity. The chaos of the Demon God could repeat itself." Wang Xuanling said, "How dare you raise it secretly?"

"I didn’t do it secretly." Chu Liang said, "Isn’t this me taking her out right in front of you?"

"You..." Wang Xuanling was taken aback.

"Don’t worry, Head Master Uncle." Chu Liang reassured, "Tuntun has been with me for several years, I never feed her any materials with spirituality, and only let her take action in dire situations. After all, she has saved me several times to this day, I can’t forget her kindness and hurt her again. Even a Heaven Devouring Beast can do good, right? Like now, how are you planning to save Senior Brother Ziyang?"

His words left Wang Xuanling speechless, after a while, he finally waved his sleeve, "Fine, but you must keep a strict eye on it. If you breed this demonic beast into a calamity, that would be a sin beyond redemption."

"This disciple understands." Chu Liang replied.

Over there, little Tuntun had already gnawed a large hole. The room next door was empty, with furnishings similar to their room.

Chu Liang had Tuntun gnaw so recklessly because he predicted that this pavilion, being guarded so saliently, must not receive many guests. As long as they oriented away from Immortal Yuan Lu and his party, they shouldn’t meet any of Navy’s party.

After gnawing one more room forward, a figure appeared in the quiet room.

However, it wasn’t a person.

It was a giant toad, as black as ink and about the size of a man. It was in deep sleep in the room and beneath it was a rune array, trapping it. With each breath, its body would bubble up and down with black bubbles.

The two of them didn’t have time to pay much attention and continued gnawing forward.

Finally, when they opened another quiet room, a figure appeared inside, sitting cross-legged and shutting his eyes.

It was indeed Xu Ziyang!
