"Have you already succeeded?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure that Chu Liang is dead?"
"Of course."
"Then why did he appear at Tongtian Peak this morning?" In the same dimly lit room, a shadow sat at the desk, while a masked man with two swords on his back stood below.
Faced with the shadow's question, the swordsman was taken aback,
"What?"
"That Shu Mountain disciple named Chu Liang, not only safely returned to Shu Mountain, but also retrieved the materials for forming a golden core, completely unharmed." The shadow's words were tinged with anger,
"Who exactly did you kill?" He played a role similar to a manager in the organization, and these people were all contacted by him.
The swordsman had originally said that he had killed Chu Liang, and he had believed it and reported it. But this morning, an insider from Shu Mountain suddenly reported that Chu Liang had once again appeared at Tongtian Peak, completely intact.
His limbs were agile, his features were regular, his body was healthy, and his mental state was good. Not to mention being killed, there was not even a scratch on him.
"How is that possible…" The swordsman doubted,
"I used the Dark Blade Chop to cut him in half, he was dead without any resistance… This can't be false."
"Did you confirm the body?" The shadow asked.
"I…" The swordsman hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The Golden Fur Beast arrived quickly at that time, I didn't have time to check carefully, but a third realm cultivator who was cut in half, how could he possibly revive… Unless the one I killed wasn't him?"
"No matter what the reason is, he is still alive now." The shadow said:
"But I have already reported this to the boss before, if there is any news about Chu Liang in the future, will the boss think that you and I lied? You know his style." The swordsman showed a hint of fear in his eyes, he immediately said:
"I'll go kill him again!"
"That's what I was thinking." The shadow said ominously:
"The boss has gone to the Western Regions to handle matters, you better solve this before he comes back, otherwise I definitely won't take the blame for this failure."
"Okay." The swordsman only responded once. The shadow picked up a brush from the desk, dipped it in ink, and drew a bird on a piece of white paper, then pointed at it with a spell.
The paper suddenly caught fire, and when the flames passed, there was no ash left, only a lifelike black crow appeared, circling once and landing on the swordsman's shoulder.
"He should be going to Xianren Ze to find the Ascension Grass now, you just follow the spell crow to the specific location." The shadow said.
This crow didn't have the strong ability to find people thousands of miles away, it was just an extension of his tongue. He would use the method of Heaven's Sight and Earth's Hearing to monitor the target's location, and transmit it to the actor through the spell crow.
"Xianren Ze…" The swordsman muttered, his deep voice full of murderous intent:
"This time if I don't kill him, I'll come back with my head."
"So big." When the three divine realm disciples flew to Xianren Ze, they all sighed in their hearts. It was said that in ancient times, Xianren Ze was a vast and boundless lake with many islands, and it was the largest lake in the world.
Later, with the changes of time, the water level gradually decreased, and many places in the lake were exposed to land, and those islands became mountains.
Now it looks like hundreds of connected lakes of various sizes, covering an area of hundreds of miles.
If the Ascension Grass appears, it will grow on the shores of these lakes. Cultivators who come to find the Ascension Grass need to walk carefully along the lake and look for possible places.
If you just sweep over it roughly with your divine sense from the air, you are likely to miss something. And it might also attract the "Wang" in the lake. Among the ghosts, there is a special existence called "zombie", which is usually understood as a ghost that has lost its body and turned into a resentful spirit. Zombies, on the other hand, are the opposite, they are bodies that have lost their spirits and risen with a breath of resentment.
Among the zombies, the more mysterious existence is called "Yue". Generally speaking, only the corpses of cultivators contain spirituality, and after they rise, they are powerful and become Yue.
The Yue of Xianren Ze once proliferated into a disaster. The weakest Iron Yue here also has the strength of the third realm, and after consuming the blood and qi of living people, it can evolve from iron to copper to silver to gold.
Golden Yue has the strength of the sixth realm, but it is extremely rare, so Shu Mountain usually sends a fifth realm disciple to protect the law.
Above Golden Yue, there is a possibility of a "Disaster Yue" equivalent to the seventh realm. Among them, there are Dry Yue that dominates a thousand miles of red land, Flood Yue that turns everywhere it goes into a lake, and Snow Yue that freezes everything in June… This kind of Disaster Yue appears almost once in a thousand years, but every time it leaves Xianren Ze, it harvests a large number of lives and is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even in legends, after a Disaster Wang harvests enough lives, it can grow into a Xian Yue or Shen Yue equivalent to the eighth or ninth realm, but that level of charm has never appeared in history, it is just a legend.
More than two hundred years ago,
After suffering a Disaster Yue, the Yu Dynasty made a determined effort to join forces with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and decided to clean up the increasingly rampant Yue in Xianren Ze.
But after a round of extermination, the effect was mediocre. Because Yue can hide in the water, the lakes are interconnected underwater, unless you use great magic power to cover the entire Xianren Ze, it is impossible to completely clean up.
And Yue is transformed from the bodies of cultivators, if people are no longer allowed to enter Xianren Ze, it can also fundamentally eliminate the production of Yue.
But this is extremely difficult. Because this place is rich in spiritual energy, there are many heavenly treasures worth risking for cultivators, like the Ascension Grass, which can only grow here.
It is simply impossible to completely seal off the vast Xianren Ze. So it can only be left as it is.
"You three spread out a little, move from west to east, don't move too fast. The Golden Winged Eagle will be on alert in the air, and it will immediately warn if there is a Yue. If there is a Yue that you can't deal with, try to protect yourself and delay time, I will rush over immediately." After landing, Xu Ziyang said.
"Although the chances are slim, if you really encounter Ascension Grass, whoever gets it first will own it, and there must be no more fighting." It is naturally safest to stick together when walking in dangerous places.
But after all, everyone was here to find the Immortal Ascension Grass. If they happened to come across a treasure at the same time, it would inevitably lead to a scramble, so they decided to spread out a bit.
These were the lessons learned from years of experience on Shu Mountain. Sister Chen Suli was the first to laugh and say:
"I'll just follow Brother Xu Duo, it feels safer that way." Chu Liang had already noticed on the way here that she was completely smitten with Xu Ziyang, probably here just to get close to Brother Xu Duo, not really caring about the Immortal Ascension Grass.
In fact, Shang Ziliang was the same. He was also here with the intention of bonding with Xu Ziyang. If he could get the approval of this future brother-in-law, wouldn't his relationship with Xu Ziqing be settled?
But who would have thought that upon arrival, he would meet Chu Liang. Putting himself in Chu Liang's shoes, Shang Ziliang felt that Chu Liang had the same idea, surely here to show off in front of Xu Ziyang.
With this thought, old and new grievances surged up. In front of Xu Ziyang, he dared not harbor any ill intentions to plot against Chu Liang again… especially after suffering so many losses before.
But the competitive spirit was still there. His eyes immediately burned with a fierce battle fire, and he vowed to himself that he must perform better than this guy.
To show the future brother-in-law how excellent he is! At that time……
"Are you going or not?" Xu Ziyang turned his head and said coldly. It turned out that Chu Liang had already taken the lead on his own, and Chen Su, who was following Xu Ziyang, had already walked dozens of feet away. Only Shang Ziliang was still standing in place, grinning foolishly, not knowing what lewd things he was thinking about.
"You must always be vigilant in the Immortal Ze, or you may face a life-threatening danger at any time!" Xu Ziyang warned again.
"Eh, yes, yes, yes!" Hearing Xu Ziyang's words, Shang Ziliang immediately snapped back to reality, hurriedly jogged to catch up, nodding repeatedly.
Chu Liang watched the performance of these two companions and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Was he the only one in this team who was seriously here to find the Immortal Ascension Grass?
