Chapter 772: Chapter 20 The Worst Kind of Scholar [Single Update]_1

The battle ended, and Immortal Yuan Lu was taken to the Sky-north Prison.

Even as the most notorious prison in the Four Seas and Nine Continents, it’s rare to hold a convict of the Eighth Realm. Catching the leader of the demonic Western Sea Sect significantly boosted public morale during these turbulent times in the Nine States.

The Sea Clan and Shu Mountain would also participate in the subsequent interrogations.

Every cultivator at the Eighth Realm could be considered a treasure trove. A lot of information could be unearthed from them, so they couldn’t merely be left to the Imperial Court.

As for the Sea Navy officer who was killed, the location of his secret realm and treasure would be jointly searched by a team and the Sea Clan. In this regard, a dead Tianyuan cultivator had less value than a living one.

Ancestor Wu Chao would naturally take care of the matters concerning the Ruins Shenxu. With him around, the Southern Sea would not descend into chaos.

The biggest beneficiary of the Sea Navy officer’s death was naturally Chu Liang, first in terms of fame.

Chu Liang defeated a Tianyuan!

No matter who chased away the Sea Navy officer’s Primordial Spirit first, who drove him to a dead-end first, who were there to ambush him from the Tianyuan Realm.

Who was the one who killed him?

If you say it was done by luck, then why didn’t others have this luck?

Only Chu Liang is considered to be lucky. Even his master is acknowledged; both master and apprentice achieved a breakthrough in defeating a Tianyuan. How could this be explained?

This is undoubtedly true strength!

Our Shu Mountain and Silver Sword Peak specialize in defeating Tianyuans!

The above statements were said anonymously by Miss Empress Feng to the circle of immortals.

Consequently, even before Chu Liang could return to Shu Mountain, the news had already spread all over the Four Seas and Nine Continents, shocking the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

Although the slaying of the Great Lake Demon King by Empress Feng was amazing, she was after all a well-known cultivator at the peak of the Seventh Realm. Plus, the Great Lake Demon King was struck by Daoist Cang Sheng using the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, so their battle was predictable.

This time, it was said that during the clash with Ancestor Wu Chao, the Ruins Navy officer was killed by Chu Liang.

Even though most cultivators are not familiar with these two sea demons’ names, it was clear it was a battle between powerful beings in the Tianyuan Realm. Regardless, for Chu Liang, a newbie who just stepped into the Seventh Realm, to decisively kill one of them is absolutely terrifying.

The rising star of Shu Mountain, after six years of silence, has directly climbed to the sky!

In fact, Chu Liang doesn’t want this to be publicized. After all, he knew better how he managed to kill the Sea Navy officer. It was not him but Ancestor Wu Chao with his profound abilities.

If he became a target of high-level cultivators because of this, it would undoubtedly bring troubles. He would rather everyone regard him as a rookie, having a bit of contempt before the battle.

Making a fortune in silence is the best.

However, his master has always been flamboyant, and it was impossible for her to stay low-key. She could use the Divine Fire to turn a dark night into daylight.

Fortunately, Chu Liang’s biggest harvest is unknown to everyone else.

The Illusory Treasure Spiritual Fetus.

On the way back, Chu Liang was constantly touching this Spiritual Fetus in his Divine Sense within the White Pagoda, feeling the circulating Spiritual Power and sense in it.

Being able to replicate any magic artifact for a quarter of an hour...

If one thinks boldly, doesn’t it directly fill the gap that Shu Mountain has no divine artifact?

If the enemy doesn’t have a divine artifact, then forget it. If the enemy has one, then I can instantly conjure the same divine artifact to face the enemy.

Granted, in the battle of the Tianyuan Realm, having the same kind of divine artifact doesn’t necessarily mean one can unleash the same power.

For example, no one in the world can hold the Chunyang Ancient Sword like Elder Li of Void Slashing does to bring out its power; just like no one can master the Eastern Sea Time Wheel as freely as Daoist Cang Sheng does.

But it’s always better to have it.

At least this is a pseudo-divine artifact-level being, no matter how one puts it, it’s a huge improvement.

Of course, this doesn’t need to be handed over immediately. When Shu Mountain is in trouble, it can be given to Master Wen Yuan. It would be an essential aid to keep ordinary days.

In fact, within Chu Liang’s heart, the best person to use this treasure would be his future father-in-law, Immortal Qi Jing.

With his ability to replicate various divine skills with the Water Mirror Dao, and the ability to replicate various magic artifacts with the Illusory Treasure Spiritual Fetus, wouldn’t he be able to realize the state of hitting me is flying yourself?

Moreover, he is about to enter the Sword Domain Heavenly Palace and might need some help. Therefore, Chu Liang mentioned this matter to Jiang Yuebai first.

If not, he who always adheres to the principle of "unless it’s money, never show off anything," wouldn’t easily let this treasure be known.

...

Upon returning to Shu Mountain at a swift speed, Chu Liang brought the hard-earned Thunder Cloud Seed to Red Cotton Peak and handed it over to Huan Leisheng, the sect leader of the Talisman Sect.

Huan Leisheng, who received the rare Sea Soul Stone and Thunder Cloud Seed materials from Chu Liang, was overwhelmed with gratitude. It seemed that if Chu Liang hadn’t stopped him, he would have dropped to his knees in gratitude.

Seeing this, Chu Liang couldn’t help but feel amazed. The Way of Politeness was everywhere.

Actually, in the agreement between the Regent Leader and Ancestor Wu Chao, the importance of eliminating Elder Mayfly was even higher than the Sea Navy officer. There were few enemies throughout the long years of Wu Chao’s control over the Southern Sea who could make him feel threatened, and Mayfly was undoubtedly the most troublesome one among them.

Unfortunately, since Elder Mayfly fought side by side with the righteous path in the loft, Baize and Daoist Yan let him leave.

Ancestor Wu Chao couldn’t blame anyone either, because the Navy had indeed killed her, hence reaping some sort of harvest.

Huan Leisheng excitedly pulled Wen Yulong away to drive development, while Chu Liang looked at their backs with great satisfaction. His gaze held the same stability and kindness as one might have when looking at two walking money trees.

However, this tranquility didn’t last long, as it was disrupted by the noise outside.

"What’s happening?" He asked those outside.

"It’s Yun Chaoxian of Heavenly Gang Sect, and Feng Chaoyang of Heavenly King Sect..." Henchman A opened the door and reported, "They’ve started fighting outside!"

"What?" Chu Liang quickly stood up, asking as he headed out, "What’s going on?"

"They both brought people to introduce to you and ended up fighting over who should go first!" Reported Henchman A.

As he spoke, Chu Liang had already arrived at the hall outside the quiet chamber, where he saw Yun Chaoxian and Feng Chaoyang indeed wrestling.

The two men had not had any grievances before, but both had rough temperaments and would inevitably fight if they disagreed slightly. However, they still had some restraint, not resorting to earth-shattering fighting methods, but instead clashing fists and teeth whilst urging on their True Qi, trying to knock each other out.

Each of them had brought a person who was now trying to mediate between them, it seemed that these were the two people they wanted to introduce to Chu Liang.

"Both of you!" Chu Liang quickly stepped forward, loudly declaring, "Stop fighting!"

Hearing Chu Liang’s voice, both men, looking like two fighting bulls, separated and turned around.

"We’re all old acquaintances here. Why can’t we put across our concerns without resorting to violence?" Chu Liang tried to console them.

"That’s not my fault." Yun Chaoxian started, "Both of us arrived here at the same time, and when I said I was going to bring someone to meet you, he insisted that he should go first. I asked, what kind of relationship do I share with Brother Chu? We are brothers who have faced death together, how could it be your turn to be first?"

"What’s the big deal?" With a cold snort, Feng Chaoyang retorted, "Chu Liang and I have known each other for many years, we used to be love rivals!"

"If that’s so, you should wait outside for notification..." Chu Liang helplessly rolled his eyes at him.

"I don’t care." Yun Chaoxian folded his arms, "I’m going first."

"Why should you?" Feng Chaoyang clenched his fists, "Don’t you remember how powerful my fists are?"

"My fists are no less powerful!" Yun Chaoxian roared back.

"You better not force me to use my General Star Bead at Shu Mountain!" Feng Chaoyang threatened as he touched his waist.

"I have my Zhenshan River Halberd here!" Yun Chaoxian directly grabbed his halberd.

"..."

"If you’re going to fight, do it outside!" Chu Liang sternly demanded.

Seeing that he seemed irritated, the two stopped making a fuss and started paying attention to him again.

"Can you listen to my arrangements here?" Chu Liang furrowed his brows, "Can we talk about our concerns together?"

"No way!" Both Yun Chaoxian and Feng Chaoyang echoed simultaneously.

Yun Chaoxian glanced at the person behind him, saying, "We could do so in other cases, but not now. Today, I’m here to introduce my brother from War Mausoleum Mountain."

"I also brought my friend from Jupiter Dao." Feng Chaoyang agreed.

On hearing these, Chu Liang understood.

It was definitely because of the Ten Earth Sects. They both wanted to push their respective allies, and naturally came here to lobby for Shu Mountain as an important vote for the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

If they went directly to Master Wen Yuan, it would be uncertain. Therefore, they thought of lobbying Chu Liang first.

After all, Chu Liang has a special status in Shu Mountain, although he is of the younger generation, he can directly talk to the top leaders, and his influence is extremely significant. The various immortal sects are also well aware of this situation.

"Sigh..." Chu Liang massaged his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

In such a situation, whoever speaks first may take the initiative. Even if he can temporarily withhold his stance, both of them will definitely dispute, which is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

Just then, a light cough was heard at the entrance of the hall, followed by a gentle voice saying, "I have an idea that can help both of you avoid conflict."

"Hmm?" Everyone turned around, Chu Liang immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhang?"

The visitor at the door was none other than the Chief Disciple of Ascending Dragon Academy, Minister Zhang.

Shortly after the Immortal Sect Conference ended, he didn’t join the court as an official, nor did he stay in the academy as an instructor. Instead, he disappeared, reportedly going to a remote mountain academy to teach. This was indeed a rare choice for such a distinguished scholar. Before today, he hadn’t appeared in public for a long time.

Seeing him coming, Chu Liang sighed in relief: "What’s your insight, Brother Zhang?"

"Actually, I arrived earlier, just a step later than the two of you, so I witnessed this conflict." Said Minister Zhang with a smile, "Brother Yun started the quarrel, and Brother Feng was the first to attack. Both of you were wrong. In my opinion, why don’t we each get fifty strokes with a paddle."

"What do you mean?" Yun Chaoxian frowned, "With what paddle? I’m sure I can take more hits than him!"

"..." Chu Liang gave him a pat on the shoulder, "Brother Yun, don’t interrupt when a scholar is speaking."

"Hehe, what I mean is..." Minister Zhang made a bow with his hands, "Both of you should wait for a while, let me introduce the principal of Yu Mountain Academy first."

"Go away!" Yun Chaoxian waved his hand dismissively, "You scholars are the worst!"
