Chapter 766: Chapter 14 Quality and Manners [Single Update]_1

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Seeing his master’s embarrassed look, Lin Beilang, the good disciple of Jade Sword Peak, laughed and hastily approached.

"Sorry for any misunderstanding, Master Navy," he responded with a mischievous smile. "Our Sect Master has been lonely for too long in the seal. Now that he’s free, it’s inevitable he’s looking for more female companions..."

"Haha." Master Navy laughed at his words, no longer suspicious. He looked at Elder Mayfly. "Given that, Elder, do you need any..."

Standing at the back, Elder Mayfly quickly waved his hands, laughing, "Thanks for the concern. But I’ve been away from such worldly desires for two thousand years."

That’s right.

Everyone present gave him a thumbs-up.

It was true, after all. Abstaining for a decade might be agonizing, but giving it up for two thousand years was almost saintly.

"Everyone, please be seated. Once we’re all here, we will begin the alliance ceremony!" Master Navy cheerfully motioned everyone to their seats.

Elder Mayfly said, "I won’t be part of your affairs. Call me when it’s time for battle."

The old man wasn’t interested in any so-called evil alliance. His only goal was to escape Wu Chao’s pursuit and put an end to the hassle. With that, he returned to his room on the third floor to rest.

Wang Xuanling, Baize, Daoist Yan, and Empress Feng took their seats, one after another. The three women put back on their helmets, perhaps not wishing to reveal their faces too much since their deeds were after all, regarded as evil. Master Navy didn’t object, after all, he’d already checked.

Chu Liang, Lin Bei, and Xu Ziyang also took their seats below.

Observing the scene, Lin Bei whispered to Chu Liang, "Impressive, one might mistake this for Shu Mountain."

Chu Liang couldn’t help but nod, "Indeed."

Master Navy’s subordinates did not have the privilege to sit and were engaged in serving. Elder Mayfly had left early, leaving Master Navy as the only outsider.

This is the Ruins Shenxu, so shouldn’t you leave?

Not long after everyone was seated, Chu Liang stood up, "I have some questions for Elder Mayfly. I will be back shortly."

This was planned beforehand. His face was too distinct, and it was getting hard to keep it hidden. If seen by the Demonic Clan or by Mars, there’s a possibility of an immediate fight.

If the two factions were to arrive one after the other, one of them might become suspicious.

So, leaving early for a while may buy a bit more time.

But the first to arrive was neither Mars nor the Far West Demon Clan. Not long after, an announcement was heard from outside, "Sect Master Yuan of the Western Sea Demon Sect has arrived!"

"Ah, Sect Master Yuan!" Master Navy got up to greet, "I’ve missed you since the last time we met."

"Master Navy," Immortal Yuan Lu responded with a cold and stoic appearance. He responded with a greeting and took his seat. Looking over at Wang Xuanling, he nodded, "Xuan Yinzi, sir."

Although the Western Sea Demon Sect had a grudge against the Underworld King Sect, they shared a common enemy with Xuan Yinzi, the "rightful heir" of the Underworld King, hence the friendliness.

"I’ve heard Lin Poyun of Underworld King Sect was defeated at Shu Mountain, led there by Chu Liang wielding the Purple Green Double Swords. Was this the Marquis of Purple Gold’s doing?" Immortal Yuan Lu asked.

Though others might question Chu Liang’s status as Marquis of Purple Gold, Immortal Yuan Lu, as one of the earliest to uncover this information and having never met Chu previously, had no doubts.

"Hehe," chuckled Wang Xuanling. Chu Liang had given him the cue prior to this, "If it weren’t for my spy within Lin Poyun’s ranks, how could Shu Mountain have been prepared?"

"So, that’s it." Immortal Yuan Lu nodded, "I closed off myself for many days, and I came out especially to respond to your summon. I’m willing to heed your commands."

"We’re inviting you to form an alliance, which aims to deal with South Sea Crow Nest." Master Navy stated, "As mentioned in the letter."

"Hmm," Immortal Yuan Lu responded, "You can ask for my help to deal with anyone, but I have one condition. You must help me kill an enemy. If this person is not dead, the Western Sea Demon Sect will never rest in peace."

"Who?" asked Master Navy.

Crunching his teeth, Immortal Yuan Lu replied, "Daoist Yan of Shu Mountain!"

A black-robed woman lifted her head slightly and realized the situation was far from simple. Another black-robed woman next to her slammed the table and stood up, agitated.

"What are you doing?" Wang Xuanling reprimanded.

The angry black-robed woman was none other than Empress Feng. Hearing about the impending threat to Daoist Yan, she had a larger reaction than An Zi.

Realizing it wasn’t the right moment to lash out at hearing Wang Xuanling’s reproach, she paused before declaring, "I remembered something vexatious...Marquis of Purple Gold owes me money, yes! and hasn’t paid back. I’m going to settle scores with him!"

With that, she marched off upstairs, leaving the room.

Wang Xuanling quickly turned his head and apologized with a smile, "My lack of discipline, my lack of discipline."

...

Gurgling sound.

The Underworld King, who appeared extraordinarily aged, was standing with his hands tied in the ink-like sea within the Ruins.

Behind him, a thick black tentacle was wrapping around a diamond-shaped, transparent coral of red jade. Inside the transparent coral was a faint figure of a woman. The tentacle shone with dark light, pouring spiritual power into the coral.

Gurgle--- Gurgle---

The infusion of light kept going for a while until the figure within the coral finally opened her eyes.

With a little exertion, the tentacle made a cracking sound, causing the red jade to break and shatter. The figure of the woman fell to the ground, shaking weakly. She looked up and said, "Lord Wu Chao, did you save me?"

The woman was Lady Hong Yu.

"Of course." Wu Chao’s dim eyes looked at her kindly. "Who could have dealt such a heavy blow to you? They almost completely killed you. If I weren’t storing your life essence here, even this sliver of soul might not have survived."

"I don’t know..." Lady Hong Yu struggled to recall, then said, "The one who made a move should be a cultivator of the Eighth Realm. I had absolutely no leeway to resist."

"Tianyuan?" Wu Chao muttered with narrowed eyes.

"Moreover, before that, two Seventh Realm cultivators had already attacked Fog Island. Their purpose... was to rescue Elder Mayfly!" Lady Hong Yu continued.

"I guess I know who did it..." Wu Chao slowly said. "Inside the Ruins, only he has that sort of power. He wants to be the boss while I am still alive. He is too hasty."

Lady Hong Yu looked at Wu Chao, her heart gradually calming.

In all the long years, inside the Ruins, there were more than one Eighth Realm cultivators who tried to cause trouble. But every time, as soon as this seemingly old and exhausted Wu Chao made a move, all enemies had been suppressed and exterminated.

He was the highest will of the Ruins.

Just as Wu Chao was looking towards the distance, a radiant sword light arrived in an instant.

Whoosh-

The sword light crossed the space incredibly fast, leaving behind blurry afterimages that stopped instantly upon reaching before them, then descended. The light receded after hitting the ground, forming a lightly golden ray that enveloped a figure.

This figure was also an old man, but he looked more refined and clear-eyed.

"Daoist Master Cosmic?" Wu Chao recognized the figure instantly. "What instructions do you have for this humble old man in the corner of the Ruins?"

The other man cupped his hands and said, "I am Qi Yingxuan. I have heard of Ancestor Wu Chao for a long time, and I have finally come to meet you today. I have important matters to discuss."

The figure that the sword light transformed into was none other than the Regent of the Yu Dynasty of Nine States!

...

"Old Deng? I heard you used to be a big shot? Where did you do your business?" Empress Feng looked at the old man before her and asked with a sidelong glance.

As she came upstairs to look for Chu Liang, she found that he was chatting with Elder Mayfly, so she joined them.

"How dare I..." Elder Mayfly quickly waved his hand, "What do you mean by ’doing business’? I had some reckless years when I was young, but I have already sworn to leave the past behind."

"What the hell are you talking about? I asked you where you operated, why are you talking nonsense?" Empress Feng frowned and said, "The older a person gets, the more cowardly they become. It seems like you really are regressing."

"Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right." Elder Mayfly nodded, "I am indeed not as brave as before. If you ask me about where I used to operate, I would honestly tell you that I have been in the Ruins since birth and never left."

"Stop beating around the bush, just say it directly." Empress Feng scolded again.

"Yes, yes, that was my mistake." Elder Mayfly nodded again, "If I have wasted your time, I don’t know how to make it up to you. Should I kneel and knock my head on the ground for you?"

"Hey hey----" Chu Liang quickly stopped him and prevented Elder Mayfly from kneeling down. He then leaned over to Empress Feng and whispered, "Elder Mayfly is trying hard to change his ways, we shouldn’t bully him."

What an eye-opener.

The showdown between the master and Elder Mayfly was indeed a duel of high-quality manners.

If they keep talking like this, he was really afraid that Elder Mayfly might be forced to turn into a demon by Empress Feng. Even good guys couldn’t stand it.

While they were talking, a notice came from downstairs again.

"The Great Master of Mars is here---"
