Chapter 809: Chapter 45 Chu Chu [Two-in-One]_3

Yet he ultimately did not kill them, opting instead for a more indirect method.

He planted a Mayfly into each person from Town Star Island, using this to complete his manipulation. It was his unique secret technique, allowing him to control a multitude of creatures with Mayflies.

The reason the Elder Mayfly was so dreaded by Ancestor Wu Chao was precisely because of this Divine Skill. In the past, Mayfly had almost used this move to control all the Sea Clan and become the True Lord of the Southern Sea.

For him, dealing with the people from Town Star Island was a minor affair.

...

It was only when Chu Liang personally arrived at the Stone Mining Islands that he understood what Du Wuhen meant by "purification."

A once-secluded island was now bustling with hundreds of cultivators, all of relatively high realms. Yet, at that moment, they were all using simple tools, entering and exiting mine tunnels dug by the Zuanshan Beasts, each emerging with heavy stones on their backs.

Well then.

Master had sent these people to mine.

Purely labor reform it was.

"Warrior Chu," the Elder Mayfly first respectfully bowed, then said, "These people have too much bloodlust, I had no choice but to employ such means, hoping it will teach them a lesson and deter them from wanton killing in the future."

As Chu Liang looked closely at the miners, he noticed that each one had a vacant gaze, their faces lifeless. He then asked, "Do these people no longer have spiritual intelligence?"

"Some do," the Elder Mayfly nodded, "I merely planted a Mayfly Seed within their Spiritual Platforms, suppressing their original spiritual sense. Initially, the Mayfly Seeds cause some sluggishness, but as they mature, they gradually become more intelligent and can even integrate part of their memories. Of course, if I want to restore them, I just need to retract the Mayfly Seeds."

Chu Liang listened with inward alarm.

No wonder Ancestor Wu Chao so desperately wanted to eliminate him, this Divine Skill was too terrifying.

In that case, he could control countless creatures for a time, making them obey his thoughts. Without the intervention of other cultivators of the Eighth Realm, it was unimaginable what he could achieve.

Mining here at Town Star Island for a while might not be a bad thing, but ultimately, Penglai was behind them. If too much time passed, the Upper Sect of Penglai would surely notice and complications would arise.

After thinking it over, Chu Liang pointed to a noticeably large physical body and said, "Elder, please restore that person first."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Elder Mayfly summoned the body named "Hong Jufeng." The Elder Mayfly then extended his index finger and flicked it lightly, sending a spot of red light flying out of Hong Jufeng’s nostrils and back into his sleeve.

"Ah!" Hong Jufeng was momentarily stunned, then his eyes suddenly regained their sparkle. He stepped back in shock, looking incredulously at the others, "Chu Liang?"

"Correct, Young Master Hong," Chu Liang smiled. "Elder Mayfly is here precisely to oversee the Stone Mining Islands at my request. He was supposed to peacefully meditate here, but you insisted on disturbing his cultivation..."

"Had we known this was Shu Mountain’s territory, we wouldn’t have trespassed. It seems it was all a misunderstanding," Hong Jufeng said calmly. "Then please ask this Elder to lift the restriction from us Town Star Island Disciples and let us return. Let’s pretend none of this ever happened."

He finished speaking and looked at Chu Liang, only to find Chu Liang remained silent with a smile.

Hong Jufeng’s expression fell immediately, he dropped to his knees with a crying tone, "Isn’t my pleading enough for you?"

He was truly fearful, never expecting that Chu Liang could casually station an Eighth Realm powerhouse here to guard the island; who would dare contest him?

Were they to be condemned to mine here forever?

What he didn’t expect was when he knelt, Elder Mayfly immediately knelt as well, saying, "I dare not accept, I dare not accept."

Seeing the old man kneel, naturally, Chu Liang couldn’t just stand idle; he hurriedly knelt too and quickly said, "What is this? Let’s get up, we can speak properly."

From a distance, Du Wuhen watched with tightening heart, thinking to himself whether his younger brother was trying to find him a godfather again.

After quite a commotion, Chu Liang finally got the two men to stand.

He said to Hong Jufeng, "Young Master Hong, I’ve also heard about your father’s situation and I express my deep condolences. Although our relationship has never been great, I know that wasn’t something you could decide, so I never blamed you. Your anger directed at Stone Mining Islands this time was truly inappropriate; we should both be civilized and polite."

"Warrior Chu, I truly realize my mistake, I beg you to let us go," Hong Jufeng couldn’t help burst into tears.

The people here are too damn strange; they speak with more courtesy, their tones are more polite, yet their actions are fiercer than anyone else’s.

Compared to Empress Feng, this is even simpler.

The former crushes the physical body, while the latter tortures the soul.

"If apologies worked, what would we need Elder Mayfly for?" Chu Liang said softly.

"Even if you haven’t caused any casualties, the island’s flora, rocks, and trees have been much damaged, right? The local wildlife has been severely traumatized, not to mention the surrounding fish are so frightened they’ve stopped spawning... These losses are truly incalculable..."

"Since you wish to sincerely atone, I have a win-win settlement proposal for you to consider. Would you like to hear it?"

"What proposal?" Seeing him finally getting to the point, Hong Jufeng immediately brightened up and asked.

Chu Liang slowly voiced two words: "Acquisition."
