Chapter 779: Chapter 27 The Wise Knows the Times [Vote for the Month Ticket!]_1

"A demon?"

The moment Dragon Dance Lady was kidnapped, Chu Liang had already reacted. As possibly the most cultivated person present, he became like the wind, rushing after her at once.

The shadow moved swiftly, like a cloud of black smoke sweeping across the streets and alleys of Surge Wave City, flying out of the city in an instant.

It left behind a trace of demonic aura.

But Chu Liang had already closed the distance. The shadow was within his reach as he brandished his Demon-slaying Sword, lifting it high overhead!

Shhh——

Out of fear of accidentally hurting Dragon Dance Lady, Chu Liang only used 20% of his cultivation power on this strike.

But for that "demonic creature" in black up ahead, it was still enough to be fatal!

The bright sword aura tore through the night sky, coming down on the target in an instant. A splash of blood erupted clearly within the cloud of black smoke before it crashed heavily to the ground.

By now, they were far from the city, over a dense forest and mountain under the cover of night. The shadow fell, disappearing into the darkness.

Chu Liang descended closely behind it, pursued along the demonic aura’s trail, and quickly caught up again.

But all he found was a demon core stained with blood on the ground.

Only then did Chu Liang understand.

No wonder it felt like his Demon-slaying Sword didn’t hit something solid earlier. The opponent was not a real demonic creature but a member of the Human Clan.

That person had killed a demonic creature and carried its demon core in his mouth while kidnapping Dragon Dance Lady, creating the illusion of a demonic creature abducting a person. In a crucial moment, he could abandon the demon core, which emitted demonic aura, to misdirect his pursuers.

He probably didn’t anticipate Chu Liang would catch up so quickly and attack so fiercely.

Had Chu Liang not been present today, the man would have gotten away. By the time the cultivators in Surge Wave City arrived, they could only find this demon core; the real culprit would be long gone.

Chu Liang extended his Divine Sense in every direction to search. There were no traces left where his Divine Sense rolled over.

Where did the person run off to?

One thing was certain; the person couldn’t have gotten far.

If he had used Divine Skills to escape, there would be a trace of True Qi left behind, even if he were a member of the Human Clan. But if he didn’t use Divine Skills, he wouldn’t have enough time to get very far.

After some thought, Chu Liang pulled out a bright red helmet that looked like a large shrimp head.

The Red Demonic Helmet.

Although its design was somewhat embarrassing, its power was indeed strong.

Chu Liang immediately donned the Red Demonic Helmet, transforming into Shrimp Head Man.

After greatly enhancing his Seventh Realm Divine Sense, he released it again, this time leaving no tree roots or crevices on the mountain uncovered.

Boom——

In a tide-like surge of Divine Sense that left no stone unturned, he finally found traces of residual blood under a crevice not far away. It was deep and bottomless, seeming to be a long cavern.

It seemed the man had made very careful preparations.

During the pursuit, Chu Liang somewhat wondered why it seemed that he seldom had a peaceful trip whenever he went out. No matter what he did, there were always unexpected situations.

He couldn’t tell if it was his bad luck or the bad guys’ bad luck.

Bang!

With the Demon-slaying Sword leading the way, Chu Liang quickly made his way into the cavern.

The tunnel inside the mountain was long and deep, quite clean and dry; it seemed someone had been maintaining it. Apart from the residual blood in the air, the ground was starting to show traces of dropped blood. It seemed that the man was injured badly.

With sword aura leading the way, Chu Liang soon saw the figure up ahead again.

The shadow and Dragon Dance Lady in her colorful dress walked side by side, about to leave through the crack of light up ahead. The whistling sound of Chu Liang’s Sword Qi seemed to make both figures shudder.

"Where do you think you’re going!" Chu Liang shouted immediately.

The longsword rose again, its Sword Aura charging for another attack.

This time, with the same amount of cultivation power, the gravely wounded offender could not possibly escape again!

However, to his surprise, the Dragon Dance Lady ahead suddenly turned around and shouted, "Don’t!"

...

As Chu Liang was about to strike the offender and rescue the kidnapped Dragon Dance Lady, she suddenly spun around, a palm strike flying towards Chu Liang, as if trying to block the strike for the man!

Chu Liang’s sword was momentarily halted, naturally he could not follow through with the strike.

He didn’t pay much heed to the Dragon Dance Lady’s attack, her cultivation was at around the fourth or fifth stage. Besides, she specialized in dance arts. Even if he stood there and took her hits, Chu Liang wouldn’t suffer any injuries.

However, to prevent the Jiuli Soul Armor and his Dharma Body from being harmed by the shock, Chu Liang still released the Demon Binding Rope from his hand.

Whoosh——

With a flash of light, the Dragon Dance Lady was bound by the standard Turtle Shell Binding and thrown to the ground.

Looking in the direction of the offender, the man had already escaped through the aperture. Even his Divine Sense couldn’t capture any trace of him.

Chu Liang glanced at the Dragon Dance Lady on the ground and chose not to pursue.

He initially thought it was a simple kidnapping, but judging from her behavior, it did not seem to be that simple. Since he did not understand the situation entirely, he decided not to act rashly.

Anyway, now that the Dragon Dance Lady was safely rescued, that was good enough.

However...

Her gaze towards Chu Liang was filled with fear and trepidation, as if she were more scared than when she was captured.

"Miss, there is no need to panic. The offender is gone," Chu Liang reassured her.

The Dragon Dance Lady looked at him with her beautiful eyes. The meaning in her eyes was clear.

Who the real villain is in this situation was not entirely clear, was it?

"I am not a villain, I am a disciple of Shu Mountain... Chu Liang. You may have heard of me," Chu Liang introduced himself, hoping it would help calm her down.

Who would have thought that upon hearing his name, the Dragon Dance Lady looked even more terrified!

"You are the disciple of the Great Demon King of Shu Mountain, Empress Feng! That young Demon Head Chu Liang?" She asked, shivering and stuttering, her voice becoming somewhat vague. It seemed like she was affected by the poison of the Demon Binding Rope.

"Where did you get that from? Don’t worry, Miss. We, the disciples of Shu Mountain, are righteous. We are not villains," reassured Chu Liang.

As he spoke, he took out a Detoxifying Whip from his bosom, ready to help the Dragon Dance Lady detoxify.

"Still saying you’re not..." The Dragon Dance Lady was about to burst into tears.

In a pitch-black cave, she herself was bound in such a peculiar posture, while the man in front of her claimed he was not a villain and took out a whip.

He wasn’t a villain, he was perverse!

"Miss, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I am just trying to cure you of the poison," Chu Liang explained hurriedly.

"You poisoned me too?" Upon hearing this, the Dragon Dance Lady blacked out and fainted.

"Sigh." Chu Liang sighed, prepared to quickly help her detoxify.

At this moment, several lights fell outside the fissure and surrounded him. A familiar figure appeared first at the cave entrance, facing inward. It was a woman with short, neat hair just below her ears, azure, piercing eyes, and an extremely cold demeanor.

It was Han Lingshuang, a high-ranking member of the Yu Bo Mansion and royal family of Fuyao Country, who had appeared in the previous Immortal Sect conference.

She shouted into the cave, "Listen, creature inside! We have you surrounded. There’s no way out for you. If you’re sensible, let go of Dragon Dance Lady and surrender!"

Seeing a familiar face, Chu Liang called out, "Senior Han, it’s me, Chu Liang from Shu Mountain! I am not..."

"Chu Liang?!"

At the same time, Han Lingshuang saw the amiss scene in the cave, her eyes becoming even grim. Although it was unlikely for a prodigy of the Immortal sect to commit such an abominable crime, if it was a disciple of Empress Feng from Shu Mountain, it seemed very plausible.

She immediately shouted again, "I advise you not to ruin your future! Release the Dragon Dance Lady, surrender yourself! This is not Shu Mountain, you cannot act recklessly here! Don’t make pointless resistance, don’t hold onto empty hopes..."

"You should know this, there is an old saying in your Yu Dynasty, those who understand the times are great men!"
