Chapter 762: Chapter 11: Scolding [2 in 1]_1

Hmm?

At first glance of the Demonic Flame cultivator, his appearance was completely obscured beneath the black aura, something Chu Liang and his companions could not see through. But when the other party blurted out ’Purple Gold Marquis’, a flicker of understanding flashed in Chu Liang’s eyes.

Only those few Evil Demons, who were cunning and deceitful, knew of his disguise. After the news of his capture by the Demonic Clan from the Far West Land and his return to slay the Demon Sect’s Palace Master spread, the only beings that still believed in his false identity were probably the isolated Sea Demons.

The identity of the Eighth Realm cultivator before them... was becoming apparent.

Apart from Mister Navy, the leader of Ruins Shenxu, there could be no one else.

The Mokefish Tribe, scattered across the vast South Sea and isolated from the outside world, had nearly no access to external news. Despite their recent close contact with Shu Mountain Sect, it was limited to Princess Lian Ge, with the rest of the Sea Clan hardly ever leaving the islands of the Ruins.

Mister Navy was initially well-connected with Mars and had established contact with the Demonic Clan of the Far West Land through Mars. These could have been his sources for external intelligence. But recently, the Demonic Clan in the Far West Land was too engaged with their own affairs, and after the last upheaval in the South Sea, the Sea Clans suspected Mister Navy of colluding with outsiders, thus no emissaries from Mars had ventured into the Ruins.

Mister Navy’s information had not been updated recently.

Just like in many years past, the Ruins and the human world have been like separate worlds.

Indeed, a lack of knowledge was costly.

After speculating about the other party’s identity, Chu Liang swiftly analyzed the current situation. Lady Hong Yu’s aura was already gone, her life or death unknown. It seemed that the reason Mister Navy took action was for Elder Mayfly in the center of Fog Island - the previous two mysterious black-robed men most likely belonged to Ruins Shenxu.

So that’s why they’ve been hiding their identities.

If the righteous path identity was revealed now, the three of them would certainly die here.

Thus, Chu Liang mentally prepared himself to play the character of a powerful cultivator of the righteous path disguised as a demonic path expert.

While it seems like a rather complex role, it was not difficult for Chu Liang. After all, pretending to be Evil Demons and the like was nothing new to him. The more challenging the role, the more room for display.

With a heavy voice, Chu Liang asked, "Which esteemed friend is this, who knows of my hidden title?"

"This is not the place to talk. Follow me!" Mister Navy waved his sleeve, and a rumbling cloud of darkness enveloped the three of them, whisking them away like a bolt of lightning.

"What...?" Lin Bei let out a surprised shout and was about to make a move.

Alongside him, Xu Ziyang, was also keen to act. He was in the midst of a breakthrough on his cultivation path, and just like Chu Liang was on that day, he too was at the peak of his energy. Seeing the Sea Demon’s forceful manoeuvre, he felt a compulsion to draw his sword.

But Chu Liang promptly stopped them both, saying with an undertone of deeper implication: "There’s no need to worry. This Tianyuan cultivator is likely one of us."

’So, he isn’t one of us . . .’

’And we should be worried.’

Lin Bei and Xu Ziyang weren’t fools. They immediately understood Chu Liang’s real meaning.

A powerful Eighth Realm adversary again; walking out of a tiger’s den and entering a wolf’s lair, it’s really overwhelming. They noticed that Chu Liang seemed unperturbed, so they wagered that he probably knew exactly how to play his cards.

As such, the two decided to abstain from making a move.

The sound of the wind whistling by them throughout their journey was a given.

...

Mister Navy enveloped the three of them with his aura and brought them back to the pavilion. There he let them land safely before seating himself behind the desk.

"And who are these two...?" The first thing Mister Navy did after revealing his true form was to take a look at Lin Bei and Xu Ziyang.

"So it really was you, Mister Navy." Chu Liang gave him a slight smile, "These two are the new recruits I’ve enrolled in Shu Mountain."

"The ’Purple Gold Marquis’ is indeed capable. Not only could you infiltrate Shu Mountain, but you even managed to recruit disciples of the righteous path?" interrogated Mister Navy.

"Under the influence of personal interest, no one is unyielding." Chu Liang puffed out his chest and proudly professed, "I’m rich."

His words were firm and resonant, leaving no room for denial.

"Hehe, I’m impressed," Mister Navy slightly nodded, before continuing to ask, "What brings Purple Gold Marquis to Fog Island?"

Chu Liang responded with a mysterious smile and a gaze that met Mister Navy’s, counter questioning, "And you, Mister Navy. What is your purpose at Fog Island?"

"Purple Gold Marquis, you seem to be well informed about the happenings within Ruins. You even know about Elder Mayfly?" Mister Navy was taken aback.

This information was something that he had to investigate for a long time before confirming. How could Purple Gold Marquis receive such comprehensive news, and more importantly, how could people outside of the island come to understand this issue? This led him to grow suspicious.

"Or, Mister Navy, did you consider why Shu Mountain has recently been in close contact with several Sea Clans?" Chu Liang patted Xu Ziyang on the shoulder, "Did my subordinate frequently come to the ruins just to express his feelings for the Merfolk Princess?"

Xu Ziyang’s gaze flickered and he seemed to soften, but in the end, he kept his silence.

Mister Navy suddenly realized: "So that’s it, the frequent contact between Shu Mountain and the Sea Clans recently was all orchestrated by you!"

"The real orchestrator of all this was Lord Xuan Yinzi," Chu Liang gave a respectful nod in the direction of the far-off mountains, "I’m just a pawn on his chessboard."

Just then, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. King Mo and Killer Whale, two protagonists from the Ruins Shenxu, walked in.

The two sea demons revealed a wary look at the sight of Chu Liang and his companions.

"Mister Navy!" shouted King Mo. "These are the ones who injured us along with that Lady Hong Yu!"
