Chapter 968: 52 Chapters of Outstanding Heroes in the Nine States [Two in One]_3

This time, the young ladies of Nanyin Square made a significant effort at the party, with Shen Qingyan and Yu Xiang’er both anchoring their own shows, while the rest, filled with singers and dancers, were also managed by them.

The Wenren Brothers from the Sea King Sect finally made an appearance but only as backup dancers in a Whale Guild program. Xu Hongqiu whipped down twelve strong men, then pulled out a large ship, sailed through the winds and waves, and a generous war dance ensued.

Those twelve strong men were provided by the Sea King Sect, just to fulfill their sense of participation.

The Buddhist monks chanted a segment of the scriptures collectively, and Monk Pu Shan also wanted to perform on stage, but he couldn’t sing. Chu Liang arranged a rap for him, which turned out surprisingly well because he had the talent to spout dozens of words in one breath, seemingly born for it.

Unexpectedly to Chu Liang, Luo Yao, this young lady, sang exceptionally well and had four different vocal registers. She stood there, performing a chorus that usually took four people, which was quite shocking.

Xi Miaoxian from Penglai performed a crane dance unique to the Eastern Sea, with the brothers Yang Shenlong and Yang Yuhu supporting her as backup dancers, and they equally impressed.

Huang Ling’er from Thunder Fortress and Wei Tiandi led a performance of a dance with a hundred beasts, with hundreds of Spirit Birds and Exotic Beasts leaping together, creating a spectacular scene.

Another surprise for Chu Liang was Li Shiyi, a young lady who looked fragile and slightly timid, who actually performed a spirited sword dance on stage, showing considerable change over the years.

Watching these young performers, Sword Saint Eight Elder Li also expressed sentimentally, "Generations produce new talent, this saying holds true. Looking at this generation of heroes from the Nine States, they surpass us by far. This mortal world will ultimately belong to them."

"Yes, we are indeed old," Immortal Wulou agreed.

He was considered young among the leaders of the Immortal Sects, but time spares no one, and he too was getting older. For some reason, he recently felt inexplicable palpitations whenever he saw Empress Feng.

And those young prodigies from the Immortal Sects would eventually take over their positions, becoming luminous figures in the heavens.

This way, the legacy continues from one generation to another.

"Speaking of the most formidable among the heroes of the Nine States, that naturally would be Chu Liang," Immortal Jiuyi said with a smile, "Doesn’t Chu Liang have a performance today?"

Master Wen Yuan looked toward Chu Liang and saw his hesitant appearance, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "I suppose not?"

But the next moment, Chu Liang’s expression changed.

Because over there, a celestial light fell in a direction unnoticed by many. With eyes shining, Chu Liang stood up and stepped forward, immediately disappearing from his seat.

"You’ve finally come back." Chu Liang arrived at the other side of the mountain, looking at Immortal Qi Jing, Chen Erniu, and Jiang Yuebai, all showing signs of weariness, "Did things go smoothly?"

Jiang Yuebai just shook her head.

Immortal Qi Jing sighed, "We knew the chances were slim before we left, and ultimately we couldn’t find it."

"What exactly were you looking for?" Chu Liang asked, "If you tell me, perhaps I can help."

Now, Chu Liang had the confidence to say this. Regardless of his cultivation level, even if he couldn’t help directly, his Spirit Stone Coins might.

"It’s no harm telling now; I was looking for the legendary Water Spirit Ginseng," Immortal Qi Jing said. "Legend has it that it grows in a celestial lake in the Upper Realm, immortal and indestructible, becoming divine after living for a hundred thousand years. But before that, it has no combat ability. The only self-protection it has is that whenever someone intends to find it, it can sense it in advance and evade."

"That’s why I didn’t tell all of you about this, only asking the Sword Emperor and Yue Bai to look for it. But ultimately, it was no use. Even if they didn’t think about the Water Spirit Ginseng consciously, finding a needle in this vast ocean is never easy."

"If I could find this treasure, my Water Mirror Path could reach its peak, and then, I absolutely have the confidence to take on Shenxu Temple," Immortal Qi Jing said with regret in his tone.

He entered the Eighth Realm not too long ago; even with his fierce talent, he hadn’t reached the peak of the Tianyuan Realm. Once the Water Mirror Path is cultivated to its peak, the power is such that I might not win, but I’ll never lose.

The last time Yang Buwei reminded him, he realized that his strength might still not be sufficient to enter Shenxu Temple, which is why he sought to push his strength to a new level.

It was still a fanciful thought within such a short time.

"Let’s not think about these things for now..." Chu Liang said with a smile, waving his hand, and took Jiang Yuebai’s hand, "Come up with me first."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuebai blinked, unaware that there was a program involving him.

Just as a performance on stage ended, Chu Liang had already given the host a heads-up, and was immediately woven into the lineup.

When the audience saw Chu Liang holding Jiang Yuebai’s hand and standing on the stage, thousands of people clenched their molars at the same time. Numerous fans of Jiang Yuebai remembered the terror they once felt under Chu Liang’s dominance.

"My family members!" Chu Liang continued with a familiar opening, "Today, there’s an announcement I need to make. From today, Jiangjiang will take on a new role."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuebai paused for a moment, whispering, "Isn’t this... too sudden? I haven’t even..."

The Immortal Qi Jing immediately snapped out from his predicament of rescuing his wife, fixing a sharp gaze on Chu Liang as if wanting to slice something off him.

"Without further ado, Jiang Yuebai will become the latest spokesperson for Red Moon Square!" Chu Liang announced loudly, "Red Moon Square is one of the main sponsors of our event. Coming to Shu Mountain without trying hotpot is like coming here for nothing; trying hotpot without going to Red Moon Square is like eating nothing! My family, for hotpot, choose Red Moon Square!"

Silence.

It wasn’t just Jiang Yuebai on stage who fell silent; the audience below was silent too, and behind the dozens of broadcasting cities, there was dead silence.

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Chu Liang tugged at the corner of Jiang Yuebai’s clothes, whispering, "Don’t be angry, okay? You never replied to me before, and I didn’t get a chance to tell you."

"You..." Jiang Yuebai glared at him fiercely.

As Red Moon Square grew larger, leveraging this event for a chance to increase its fame, Chu Liang and Xu Hongqiu had turned the hotpot restaurant into a franchise, planning to open branches in every major city. But once they expanded the investment, Jiang Yuebai’s share would be diluted.

Xu Hongqiu was indeed willing to give her a share for free, but they both knew she would not accept it, especially because she was always on the move and had no time to manage the business.

Therefore, Chu Liang proposed the idea of making Jiang Yuebai the spokesperson, to advertise for the brand and provide her share as a form of compensation.

However, he hadn’t had a chance to tell her this impromptu idea.

But...

Does it matter?

Jiang Yuebai glared at Chu Liang again, unable to articulate why she was upset.

In the meantime, a stream of light fell from the distant sky, and soon, Attendant B’s wailing could be heard, "Brother Da, I just heard that we are hosting an evening party, oh no!"

Chu Liang turned his head and saw him, face covered in mud and body filthy, as if he had just crawled out of the earth.

"What have you been up to?" he asked with a frown.

"I went to Shenxu to dig wild herbs," Attendant B replied with a smile, "I dug up two carts full of Chilantry vegetables, so tasty! By the way..."

He then pulled out a nearly transparent, white, ginseng-shaped Spirit Plant.

"I was digging wild herbs when a Demon Beast bumped into me and knocked me into a lake, and I accidentally grabbed a Spirit Plant. I tried a rootlet, it wasn’t very tasty, so I thought of bringing it back to see if it could be sold," Attendant B said.

Before Chu Liang could reply, Immortal Qi Jing shouted from the side: "Water Spirit Ginseng!"
