Chapter 342: Colorful Doll

The Mammothdagon was very reluctant to leave.

Before leaving to go after Ling'er, Wei Tiandi told the Mammothdagon to return to Thunderbolt Stronghold on its own. However, the big guy didn't really want to go, probably because it couldn't bear to part with Chu Liang's berries.

Chu Liang couldn't take the Mammothdagon with him back to Mount Shu, so he left a few boxes of berries and then flew off first.

As for how the big guy would get back to the Thunderbolt Stronghold, Chu Liang left that for the people of Thunderbolt Stronghold to worry about.

The Mammothdagon had always been Huang Ling'er's mount. Nevertheless, its massive size was too conspicuous, so Huang Ling'er hadn't been able to take it with her when she ran away from home. She had only been able to take Hua Hua with her.

Earlier, Huang Ling'er showed that she was a person with much integrity. She had ignored the risk of exposing her whereabouts and summoned the big guy for help during that critical moment. As expected, someone from Thunderbolt Stronghold had followed the Mammothdagon with the intention of taking Huang Ling'er back home.

On top of that, the Thunderbolt Stronghold and the Mount Shu Sect weren't on friendly terms. The Thunderbolt Stronghold and Taotie City, the two strongest sects in the Terrestrial Ten, had always been eyeing the Mount Shu Sect's spot in the Divine Nine, constantly wanting to take over that spot.

Nonetheless, Huang Ling'er didn't seem to care about that. She had known that Chu Liang was a disciple of the Mount Shu Sect, but she had still helped him. Chu Liang would remember that.

After returning to the Mount Shu Sect, Chu Liang told his teacher about this matter.

Di Nufeng got extremely angry and took immediate action. Those who dared to cause trouble for someone from Silver Sword Peak had better not let her catch even a trace of their tracks.

In the next three days, she wiped out all the Inferno Devil Valley's bases that she could find! In total, she took down no more than ten chambers and no fewer than a hundred disciples. Nevertheless, that was a significant loss for the Inferno Devil Valley, which didn't have many disciples.

The members of the Inferno Devil Valley were flabbergasted. At first, they thought it was because their sect's young master had killed Chu Liang, so Di Nufeng was retaliating.

However, they realized later... Wait. That's not right. Wasn't it our young master who died?

You already killed him, yet you still want to take revenge?

...

As anguished wails rang out all over the Inferno Devil Valley, Chu Liang returned to his little cabin. The first thing he did was shut the door and launch his reward session.

Upon entering the White Pagoda's space, Chu Liang saw the Golden-Core Puppet and the Qi-Circulation Puppet. The sight of them sitting together harmoniously made him feel very content.

"I hope I can give you a new companion."

Chu Liang had once envisioned a scene of multiple Large-Headed Dolls sitting in a row, but he hadn't expected that this day would come so soon.

The iron cells contained the phantoms of hundreds of inferno phoenixes. It was inevitable, as he'd killed an excessive number of inferno phoenixes in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm.

Chu Liang had already refined so many of them into rewards that he had gotten tired. Yet, there were still so many left.

So, he decided to store them there for now and take them out when he needed to use them.

Hmph.

Fortunately, it can't leave.

Chu Liang knew that it was definitely worth it to supply the puppets with the resources they demanded, but he couldn't help but feel a bit aggrieved.

I need employees. They need a job. We've been working together from the start.

This is already an equivalent exchange. Why do I still have to pay them?

...

Buzz.

While Chu Liang was lamenting the decline of morals in the White Pagoda, he suddenly felt a vibration he hadn't felt in a long time.

"The Soul Subjugator Token?"

Chu Liang withdrew his divine sense from the White Pagoda and redirected it into the Soul Subjugator Token.

[Eastern-Route Guider]: "I heard that you have now become a chamber master of the White-Bone Hall. Well done."

[Fifty-Ninth]: "Sir, it's all thanks to yours and the Marquess' brilliant guidance that we were able to escape death on the battlefield of Mount Shu! In the future, we will definitely continue to follow the Marquess' leadership without the slightest hesitation! By the way, sir, didn't you mention previously that the Marquess would be giving out rewards..."

[Sixtieth]: "Yes."

[Eastern-Route Guider]: "Rest assured. There will be no shortage of benefits for you. The Taotie Pavilion has sent out the treasures of nature. Wait for the delivery."

[Fifty-Ninth]: "Wow! Many thanks to the Marquess! Many thanks to you, sir! Our admiration for the two of you is as endless as the surging river—"

[Eastern-Route Guider]: "That's enough."

[Eastern-Route Guider]: "I also want to tell you that the Marqess has almost recovered from his injury, and he will return soon. The Four Halls of the Dark King Sect suffered heavy losses this time, and it's hopeful that the Marquess will regain power in the sect. However, the Four Halls will not sit idly by, so keep an eye on their movements."

[Fifty-Ninth]: "What? What? The Marquess is finally coming back? Heavens, we've waited so long for this day! Hurry and let him return! We can't wait any longer!"

[Fifty-Eighth]: "Understood."

[Sixtieth]: "Understood."
