Chapter 748: Chapter 3 I, Chu Liang, have invested in this project! [2 in 1] _3

A rumbling sound echoed continuously, and Empress Feng glanced over: "Did that guy hide in the water at that time?"

"No..." Chu Liang looked for a few moments, but suddenly shook his head: "This is false."

As he spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly, and the cascade of water before his eyes was deconstructed under the light of his hands, transforming into inscriptions that spread out.

"Is this an illusion?" Empress Feng furrowed her eyebrows.

"Not really, it’s just a form created by runes." Chu Liang said: "If it was a pure illusion, wouldn’t it deceive you, master? This person has a profound understanding of the Dao of Talisman, enabling him to escape in this manner."

As it turned out, Huan Leisheng was able to recreate the terrain with runes, providing himself cover for escape at any time. No wonder even the master’s cultivation couldn’t capture him.

"This entire Nao Mountain is a huge rune array. It’s as though it’s his personal secret realm." Chu Liang made a conclusion after looking around: "Here, he possesses a power close to Creation. Even an eighth realm cultivator would have a hard time seeking him out in this place."

"What should we do then?" Empress Feng asked.

"Creating a world like this is no easy task. He has put so much effort into creating this place. He must be reluctant to abandon it easily." Chu Liang said: "If we only destroy some outer terrain, he wouldn’t care, as he can easily regenerate it through the evolution of runes. But if we destroy the foundation of his large array, he should not sit idly by."

As he said this, Chu Liang closed his eyes slightly. His divine sense tracked down the spirit vein of the runes here, deconstructing the large array in the process.

After acquiring the Reincarnation Rune from the Fu Tianshi Secret Realm, although he did not concentrate on practicing the Dao of Talisman, he still had a deep understanding of its mysteries. Breaking this array was not a difficult task for him now.

In a short while, the master and his disciple followed the runes’ spirit vein through the mountain and arrived at a stream.

"The real core of the rune array is under this stream." Chu Liang said, "Master, you just need to block this stream, and his array will be destroyed."

This array is quite strong. Destroying the foundation of the spirit vein inside was not an easy task. But with the presence of his master, the task was no problem.

"Hehe..." Empress Feng sneered and was about to take action.

Suddenly, from not too far away, a voice begging for mercy arose, "Two of you, please show mercy!"

With a whoosh, a figure appeared.

A middle-aged man in a wide robe and large cuffs appeared from the stream. He wore a simple hat, had a refined and gentlemanly appearance, giving off a scholarly air. At this moment, looking at the master and disciple who were about to destroy his creation, his eyes were full of helplessness.

He thought that Empress Feng was domineering enough, and he finally managed to get rid of her. But who would have thought that after she returned to Mount Shu, she would bring back an intelligent disciple.

Wasn’t this just cheating?

...

A moment later, the middle-aged man sat dejectedly on the ground.

"I am the Sect Leader of the Talisman Sect, Huan Leisheng." He muttered, "Knowing that Empress Feng from Mount Shu was coming to collect debts, I sent all my disciples into hiding. I couldn’t bear to abandon the foundation we have built here in Nao Mountain, so I stayed behind."

"This runes array of Nao Mountain is truly exquisite, Sect Leader Huan Leisheng is truly talented in this Dao." Chu Liang complimented.

"Just did not expect to meet Young Hero Chu. As expected, he has inherited after coming from the Fu Tianshi Secret Realm." Huan Leisheng said with a hint of envy.

Originally when the secret realm had appeared at the Talisman Immortal Sect’s old site, their Talisman Sect was also keen to share a piece of the pie.

Strictly speaking, the Talisman Sect’s ancestry can only be counted as a small side branch of the ancient Talisman Immortal Sect. But with the Talisman Immortal Sect’s lineage almost annihilated, they now have the most intact inheritance.

The Talisman Sect, a small sect and a small family, where is their voice?

In the end, the Fu Tianshi Secret Realm was under the control of several sects of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and it became a training ground for the young men of their sects. Chu Liang had also gained inheritance like the Reincarnation Rune from there.

Huan Leisheng had also heard about this.

"Just luck." Chu Liang waved his hand, laughing.

"Young Hero Chu’s talents are extraordinary. There’s no need to be so modest." Huan Leisheng replied, laughing with compliment.

"Laugh one more time!" Empress Feng, who was not amused, snapped at him.

Huan Leisheng instantly stiffened his facial expression, no longer daring to show the slightest trace of a smile.

"Did we come here for a friendly chat with you?" Empress Feng said angrily, "After all the effort we’ve put in, you should add thirty percent interest to the debt you owe us!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Leisheng’s face fell, "Peak Master Feng, Young Hero Chu, don’t speak of adding interest. Our Talisman Sect truly doesn’t have any reserves left..."

"Mr. Huan, the amount of debt you owe is quite substantial." Chu Liang replied with a helpless gesture. "If it were a petty amount, whether we collect it or not wouldn’t matter. But you owe such a large debt and are overdue for repayment by three months. If you still cry poverty now, that’s a bit too much."

"But this is the truth, Young Hero Chu. I’ll tell you honestly, the reason I owe so much money is that I have my difficulties." Huan Leisheng said.

"Nonsense!" Empress Feng glared at him, "Which debtor doesn’t have their difficult situations? I don’t want to listen!"

"Master, let’s at least hear him out." Chu Liang tried to soothe her, "For now, let’s cool down. I don’t think Mr. Huan is unreasonable. Even if he can’t pay with Spirit Stone Coins, he should be able to offer something else to clear his debt."

"With his poverty-stricken state, what could he possibly have?" Empress Feng shouted, "Don’t stop me, I’ll slaughter his entire family!"

"Master! We’re here for the money, try not to resort to murder!" Chu Liang replied loudly.

...

"Sigh!" Watching the two of them going back and forth, Huan Leisheng finally let out a long sigh, "Please, follow me."

Thereupon, he waved his hand and split the mountain stream on both sides, revealing a deep cavern, and led the two of them down into it.

As they made their way down into the depths of the cavern, they found a brilliantly glowing area at the bottom. In the middle was a round jade table shaped like a roulette, inscribed with various runes.

"Young Hero Chu, this is a divine artifact I’ve spent twenty years crafting... The Talisman Heavenly Plate!" Huan Leisheng pointed to the roulette, his face full of pride, "If it weren’t for creating this, why would I have expended so many resources, accruing such a massive debt?"

"What is this exactly?" Chu Liang, seeing the marvel before him, asked.

"Presently, the talismans in circulation are all manually drawn and stimulated by spiritual power, right? How slow is that?" Huan Leisheng raised his hand and explained to Chu Liang. "As long as my Talisman Heavenly Plate is successfully created... "

While he was speaking, he pulled out a blank yellow talisman paper and placed it on the roulette.

Whoosh-

The roulette began to spin, inscribing the talisman inscriptions onto the paper in an instant, and a vibrant red talisman took shape within moments.

"It would only take an instant to create a talisman, and moreover, different effects can be produced according to different combinations of runes. By then, with just one person operating the Talisman Heavenly Plate, the speed of talisman creation can rival that of a thousand people! Young Hero Chu, can you imagine that scene?"

"And you’re planning to settle your debt with this broken toy?" Empress Feng asked, starring at the Talisman Heavenly Plate.

"I can’t give this to you!" Huan Leisheng said, "This is my life’s work! But... if you’re willing to lend me a bit more money, I can transfer part of the Talisman Heavenly Plate’s future profits to you."

"You dare to set conditions?" Empress Feng got really riled. She was already not too pleased with this old man and now having to listen to his rambling was pushing her over the edge.

Just when she was about to lash out, Huan Leisheng saw his grandmother beckoning him from the side of a yellow spring.

Chu Liang, who had been contemplating for a while, had the gleaming light of the Talisman Heavenly Plate reflected in his eyes. He suddenly spoke with conviction,

"I’ll invest in this project!"
