Chapter 506: Big Brother Berry

It was a mess on Fengya Mountain.

While the disciples of the diabolical sect rushed forward to block the attacks of the righteous cultivators, Enchantress Yi led Chu Liang in the opposite direction, heading toward the cave where the corpse was hidden.

Some disciples of the Dark King Sect noticed Chu Liang heading in the opposite direction and were about to scold him. However, upon seeing Enchantress Yi dressed in red, they didn't dare utter a single word.

Without any mishaps, they arrived at the center of the hidden realm just in time to witness the Sect Leader of the Dark King Sect opening the black void and escaping into it.

Enchantress Yi was shocked. "The sect leader has fled... again..."

"Then you should leave first. Thank you," Chu Liang said.

As the disciples of the diabolical sect vanished into the black void, pursued by the righteous cultivators, Yi Qiushui, who had just arrived, was in the perfect spot to make her escape.

"Alright." Before she made her escape, she said to Chu Liang in a solemn tone, "Honored senior, you must come see my teacher."

"I will," Chu Liang replied, nodding in agreement. He had no choice but to agree.

With that, Yi Qiushui flew into the sky and left.

Chu Liang pressed on alone. Upon reaching the peak outside the cave, he was taken aback by the scene unfolding before him.

The Whale-Riding Immortal had already restored his original appearance, and the bald monk who had taken Jiang Guo, along with the elderly woman, were right beside him.

At that moment, Granny Meng was gently retrieving her son's body from the ice coffin. He appeared to be a thin and elegant young man. Then, she took half of the Breath of the Yellow Springs from the porcelain bottle and slowly infused it into his body.

The other half was handed to the Whale-Riding Immortal, who gently injected the misty vapor into the crown of Jiang Guo's head.

Swoosh—

As the light radiated, the wails of ghosts from all directions intensified.

The righteous cultivators outside, who had just driven away the diabolical sect, suddenly found themselves confronted by a massive horde of fierce and malevolent spirits.

Immediately, they started fighting again.

Fortunately, after a brief period, both had absorbed their respective portions of the Breath of the Yellow Springs.

It remained uncertain whether the corpse could be revived, as it showed no signs of movement.

Monk Wu'e then said, "He has been dead for a long time. We can't be sure if his yang soul[1] can truly return to his body. Let's take him back to the mountain for observation."

"Alright," Granny Meng replied, with no choice but to agree.

As the Breath of the Yellow Springs merged with Jiang Guo, she underwent a remarkable transformation. The yin qi that surrounded her small frame dissipated, and the dullness in her eyes vanished, replaced by the vibrant and spirited gaze of a young girl.

"Ah..." She opened her eyes and stared at the Whale-Riding Immortal, as if she wanted to say something.

When he first obtained the Soul Subjugator Token, his goal was to capture this big fish.

But then, he never expected that he would thwart the diabolical sect's evil plans through this token. The information he gained was far more valuable than the Violet Gold Marquess himself.

Now that there was news of him, he certainly couldn't let this opportunity slip away.

Chu Liang quickly used the United Hearts Jade to send a message to Jiang Yuebai. Previously, all his communications with Mount Shu happened through this jade, with Jiang Yuebai serving as his point of contact.

Amidst the current chaos, locating the elders of Mount Shu would be challenging. The quickest way to relay the message was, of course, through Jiang Yuebai.

[Chu Liang]: "The Violet Gold Marquess sent a message asking me to bring him precious medicine. I suspect he is severely injured. Prepare the elders. If I send a message, be ready to rush over and provide support."

[Jiang Yuebai]: "Hmm?"

[Jiang Yuebai]: "Are you planning to go alone?"

[Chu Liang]: "Given how cunning the Violet Gold Marquess is, it's very likely that the location he provided is a facade. If I bring others with me, he will know and will definitely not show up."

After a moment of thought, Chu Liang deduced the trick the Violet Gold Marquess might be using.

The Violet Gold Marquess claimed that he was slightly injured. But with his cultivation level, would he really need to seek help from a mere subordinate for a minor wound? Most likely, he was severely injured, and his life could be at stake.

Only then would he behave in this way.

Following this line of thought, he would definitely be very cautious. The location he provided was likely a ruse, and he would be watching from nearby. If anything seemed wrong, he would keep himself hidden.

When dealing with this old fox, one had to think two steps ahead.

[Jiang Yuebai]: "But this is too dangerous..."

After all, the Violet Gold Marquess was a seventh-realm expert, and it was natural for her to worry about Chu Liang going alone.

[Chu Liang]: "It's fine. As long as my identity isn't exposed, he has no reason to attack me. This place isn't far. As long as you come as soon as you receive my message, I won't necessarily be in danger."

[Jiang Yuebai]: "Be careful."

"..."

After just a few words, Chu Liang soared away from the chaotic battlefield, making his way toward the glacier dozens of li away. He soon arrived at the location the Violet Gold Marquess had mentioned.

He extended his divine sense far and wide, scanning the area but finding nothing unusual.

So he sent another message and waited patiently. As long as the Violet Gold Marquess confirmed that he held the Soul Subjugator Token and had come alone, he would likely reveal the true location soon.

[Fifty-Eighth]: "Marquess, your subordinate has arrived."

1. There is yang soul and yin soul. Yin souls are the souls of those who have passed away. Yang souls refer to the souls that leave the body through certain means while a person is still alive, hence they are called Yang souls. ☜
