Chapter 723: Chapter 81: The Secret of Shu Mountain [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

The so-called hatred of evil.

Perhaps there is no justice more pure than the Beheading Red Famous Sword, a true Justice Sword.

Whether it was villains that he was able to crush easily in the past, or the wicked demons that he could not challenge now, it would unhesitatingly express its will to fight. Only judging for good or evil, not for the strength of the enemy.

Just go for it.

When this "Jiang Yuebai" appeared in front of Chu Liang, the Beheading Red Famous Sword was wildly vibrating, informing Chu Liang that the person in front of him had bloodied countless innocent souls.

If the Beheading Red Famous Sword could speak, its lines would probably be "I’m so eager, so eager! Let me strike her, strike her quickly..." and so on.

Even so, Chu Liang observed for a long time.

If it was someone else, he might have attacked with a sword, but this was Jiang Yuebai after all. He couldn’t possibly attack Senior Sister Jiang recklessly if he was unable to see any faults upon gathering all his essence and spirit to inspect her.

It was not until the moment when "Jiang Yuebai" turned around to seek his help that Chu Liang confirmed that the person in front of him was definitely impersonating her.

Senior Sister Jiang was hard on the inside but soft on the outside, and would never reveal such helpless eyes in any desperate situation. Moreover, she knew she was carrying Tuntun. With her wisdom, she would never ask him for help.

So, her real course of action should have been to say, without turning back, "You get the Heaven Devouring Beast out, and I’ll protect you."

The actions of this imposter were somewhat revealing.

Chu Liang deliberated for a moment. If the other party could use an illusion technique which he couldn’t decipher, and left him unconscious without killing him, then their goal wasn’t his life but must be something else. This can be easily guessed from the current situation.

She wanted the Heaven Devouring Beast.

It’s very likely they have already searched his magical storage tool, but since Tuntun was pupating inside the White Pagoda, no one but him could reach it.

Who would want the Heaven Devouring Beast...

The Demonic Clan?

The answer immediately popped into Chu Liang’s mind. Whether it’s a demon or not, one test will tell.

If the Demon-Slaying Sword stabs particularly aggressively, she is a demon; if it’s not so aggressive, she is a human...but either way, it must be tried.

Then there was the hissing sound of the sword piercing through the chest.

As the Jiang Yuebai in front of him was slain, her figure suddenly disappeared, turning into a white fox fur that fell to the ground. Chu Liang only felt the change in light and shadow in front of him. Not only the cave, but even his position changed with a loud rumbling sound.

When he opened his eyes again, only a desolate stone house was left in front of him. A black incense was burning in the quiet room, and the smoke plunged into his nose, making him unable to move, unable to mobilize a slightest bit of True Qi.

The whole thing just now, not only was Jiang Yuebai an illusion but everything else was too.

In front of him, stood two people.

One was a woman in white who had cold eyes and an elegant demeanor, but naturally exuded a third of seductiveness in her appearance, with hair softly falling.

The other was a giant human figure wearing a golden mask, over ten feet tall, wearing a brilliant robe, and holding a scepter made of feathers and fur of countless demon beasts in his hand.

His golden mask reflected Chu Liang’s face. Chu Liang could see himself lying flat on the ground with a black stone mask on his face. This mask seemed to have been sealed in some way, making his Divine Sense dull and unable to connect with the outside world, forming a double control with the black incense.

Now, he’s just an immobile ordinary person... not much different from Qi Lin’er’s current state.

"You’re rather ruthless, even able to strike at the person you care about so mercilessly." The woman spoke, not sounding very aggressive but having a soft and beautiful voice.

But Chu Liang knew that she was far from a virtuous and kind person.

He had seen this person in the Dream Abyss before. She was one of the seven great Demon Kings of the Demonic Clan, Qingqiu Demon King, Cai Yi.

She’s also a name that was left in Shu Mountain.

As for the other creature, who looked mysterious, it was probably the Grand Priest from the legend of the Demonic Clan’s Divine Temple, right?

Seeing Chu Liang remaining silent, the Grand Priest wearing a golden mask turned and said, "This man is tough to deal with, he has a very strong will. You chat with him, I will go see Changfeng first to see if he can be saved..."

"It was just one palm strike, it shouldn’t be this serious, right?" Cai Yi spoke indifferently.

"The palm strike was not heavy, but his lifespan is rapidly depleting. In such a short time, he has aged by thousands of years." The Grand Priest sighed, "Daoist Cang Sheng under the influence of the Eastern Sea Time Wheel is not to be underestimated."

Listening to them, it seemed that it had cost these demons quite a price to rescue him from Daoist Cang Sheng?

Almost killed by a single palm strike.

From this point of view, Master Wen Yuan was really powerful... he was still able to negotiate with Daoist Cang Sheng, who had a Divine Artifact in his hand.

The heavy footsteps gradually left, the Grand Priest left the stone hut, leaving only Cai Yi inside the hut.

She sat opposite to Chu Liang and whispered, "You must have guessed what we want by now, right?"

Chu Liang still did not respond.

He knew that the other party was a master of illusion technique in the mortal realm. If he did anything, he might expose a flaw, so he only kept his spiritual platform clear and tried as much as possible not to interact with the outside world.

"You can remain silent..." Cai Yi continued, "But you should not have lived until now. It was us who saved you from the Eastern Sea Time Wheel. To save you, we nearly paid the price of losing a Demon King. I believe that both in reason and in sentiment, you should not be so cold to your lifesaver."

Chu Liang was still silent, just barely closing his eyes, remaining silent.

Cai Yi continued, "There are some things I can tell you, secrets that I have hidden for many years, and you are the only one who has the chance to know... For example, how the Demon Suppression Tower of Shu Mountain was lost, and where you... should go to retrieve it."

At last, Chu Liang looked at her.

I have to admit, this cunning one knows how to pique one’s curiosity very well. My interest is thoroughly piqued.

After a brief thought, Chu Liang spoke, "Right now, you’re the one wielding the knife and I’m the fish on the chopping board. Why waste your breath? Tell me straight, what do you want?"

"We have searched your entire body, including all your magical storage tools and found nothing," Cai Yi didn’t hide anything, "But I know... it’s on you."

"You’re talking about the Heaven Devouring Beast, right?" Chu Liang asked.

"Correct." Cai Yi nodded.

Back then in the Zhennan Region’s Mountain, Chu Liang had escaped through a hole created by the devouring of Tuntun right in front of her. She must have been calculating her moves from that moment on.

"What do you want it for?" Chu Liang asked, "Could it be that the Demon God is already dead and you want to use the Heaven Devouring Beast as a physical body to revive it?"

This was the only possibility Chu Liang could think of at the moment.

"I can give you an opportunity to ask three questions..." Cai Yi spoke, "We’re on a tight schedule and can’t afford to waste time here. After the three questions, you need to decide whether or not you want to give us what we want."

"Alright." Chu Liang contemplated for a bit, then began his questioning, "What relationship do you share with Yan Renjie?"

"..." Cai Yi was silent in response to the first question.

It took her a while to respond, "You really know a lot, there must not be many on Shu Mountain who still remember that name."

"I happened to find out by chance." Chu Liang replied.

"He is my..." it took Cai Yi a while to choose a word, "...ex-husband?"

"Huh?" Chu Liang was taken aback by her response, "Is there such a thing amongst the Demonic Clan?"

"We did have a proper wedding ceremony..." when Cai Yi mentioned this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly concealed it, "It was at Biluo Peak on Shu Mountain."

"So you really have been to Shu Mountain." Chu Liang couldn’t help but say, "Could it be that Uncle Master Yan Zi is really the descendent of you two?"

"This is the second question," Cai Yi responded.

"Yes," Chu Liang said.

Although it seemed a waste to ask such gossip at this time, he couldn’t help but want to know.

"Yes," Cai Yi nodded, "I did spend a few years on Shu Mountain and left a child there. His descendant... is Daoist Yan, as you know him."

"Uncle Yan is like a real mother to Senior Sister Jiang, and as you’re her great-grandmother, and you are my great-grandmother too." Chu Liang suddenly gave a smile, "No wonder you saved my life, we are family!"

"Do not presume any familiarity." Cai Yi was amused by his unexpected brazenness and shook her head, "You only have one more question left."

"Then tell me how Shu Mountain’s Demon Suppression Tower was lost?" Chu Liang asked, "Even successive sect leaders don’t know about it, I’d like to know what happened."

"Hmm.... " After formulating her words, Cai Yi began, "Over five hundred years ago, I was not yet in charge of Qingqiu, I had just Mastered the method of manifesting myriad things. Then I was assigned a task by the temple. The Grand Priest asked me to go to Shu Mountain and find an opportunity to free Lord Demon God. So, I turned into an ordinary girl from the human clan, arranged for a disciple from Shu Mountain to save me, and then followed him to Shu Mountain."

"That disciple, was named Yan Renjie," Cai Yi added.

When she mentioned this name, there was a sparkle in her eyes.

It was as if she saw the unruly young man of five hundred years ago in black clothing, wielding his sword with a smirk to chase away the small demons.

"I was found to have good roots, so I was allowed to stay and practice on Shu Mountain. There, I could look for a suitable candidate. Coincidentally, the disciple who saved me and took me to Shu Mountain happened to have half-demon blood."

"I got close to him, trying to make him aware that his mother was being suppressed within the Demon Suppression Tower and would soon be worn down."

"Was seduction also part of your plan?" Chu Liang couldn’t help but ask.

To that, Cai Yi answered truthfully, "Of course not, the initial goal was only to get close to him and to gain his trust. Somehow, things progress to... that point...."

After a pause, she glared at him, "I don’t need to go into detail with you."

Chu Liang gave a faint smile.

A formidable demon disguised as a talented young girl, a young man with his mother being an outsider and bearing a heavy fate. Both scenarios combined...seemed slightly familiar.

Perhaps then, they would participate together in the Immortal Sect’s conference, and then have her demonic identity discovered, tragically targeted by the righteous path...with the young man experiencing all sorts of adversity to finally bring about ’my beloved, please come back to life’.

Cai Yi naturally was unaware of his brainstorming and proceeds to recount, "I followed the Grand Priest’s instruction, and informed him that according to legend, the Shenxu Temple would definitely have a way to open the Demon Suppression Tower and free his mother. So, he bravely went to look for that temple, and indeed found the clue he desired."

"Was it the Heaven Devouring Beast?" Chu Liang asked.

"Indeed." Cai Yi responded, "The Demon Suppression Tower fell from the Immortal Realm and can only possibly be destroyed by a Heaven Devouring Beast. I also ventured with him in Shenxu, and we found another Heaven Devouring Beast in the world..."

"We used the Heaven Devouring Beast and managed to get into the Demon Suppression Tower, and he went to save his mother. I took this opportunity to find Lord Demon God. At that time, Lord Demon God had already lost more than half of his origin due to the Demon Suppression Tower..."

Having been suppressed for nearly three thousand years, only half was lost. The Ninth Realm is truly powerful, Chu Liang couldn’t help but sigh.

The rest should be simple.

But he was still young, back then.

"Although my real state had reached the Eighth Realm, I still underestimated the power of the Demon Suppression Tower." Cai Yi continued, "With the combined forces of myself and the remaining Demon God Origin, we were able to crack the cage in the Demon Suppression Tower. And when I was almost desperate, an unexpected figure appeared to help us."

"Really?" Chu Liang pricked up his ears, there were more surprises? He couldn’t help asking, "Who was it?"

Cai Yi replied, "Baize."
