The curse from the people in the gambling house towards Gao Jin was naturally unfelt by Chu Liang. As a righteous person who was against gambling and drug addiction, the gambling house that had ruined countless families was the best target for him to scam money from.

By the time Chu Liang returned the fat money beetle to Gu Erniang and informed Yun Zhaoxian of the news, it was already evening. Yun Zhaoxian was surprised to see Chu Liang actually bring back news.

“The Wanshan Tower? The demonic envoy is there?”

“Most likely, but I can’t say for sure.”

Before, when the sound wave failed, Yun Zhaoxian was already at a loss and ready to accept failure. Unexpectedly, Chu Liang was able to find a clue through reasoning and investigation.

“Brother Chu, I have always been proud of my superior intelligence, but today I have to admit that you are indeed smarter than me.” He sincerely said.

Looking at his sincere and bright eyes, Chu Liang didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

After a pause, he said, “This is just the stronghold of the evil witch in the Mountain City. It is not certain whether the demonic envoy is there or not. Let’s go and see.”

“Okay.” Yun Zhaoxian stood up suddenly and said loudly, “The evil witch in the Southern Territory is treacherous and vicious. Even if it has nothing to do with the demonic tribe, it should be eradicated!”

Chu Liang nodded in agreement. This big smart person’s sense of justice was really admirable.

Soon, the two of them left. Due to the recent strict investigation of the city, there were few pedestrians on the street. The Wanshan Tower was supposed to be a place for medicinal trade, but it had closed due to recent turmoil.

It was very quiet in the night.

“Don’t act recklessly, so as not to alert the enemy. I’ll go up and investigate first. If there’s any problem, I’ll call you to come and support me.” Chu Liang instructed, then jumped onto the second-floor terrace.

Actually, this scouting task should be done by Yun Zhaoxian, who had better skills, but… let it go.

The terrace was very spacious and empty. He carefully spread his divine sense, keeping it within three zhang (10 meters) in front of him, slowly approaching the wall. Based on his experience with the Soul Catcher, he did not release his divine sense too far, but instead confirmed that an area was safe before moving forward.

On the other side of the wall seemed to be a huge empty room without any signs of people. Chu Liang was about to turn around and call Yun Zhaoxian up when suddenly the scene in front of him became blurry.

Dizziness.

Mental attack?

He still had some clarity in his mind and immediately bit his tongue and flipped over.

Bang!

Sure enough, a huge nine-foot tall skeleton emerged from where he had been standing just now! It had a big bloody mouth, but it missed its bite.

Looking ahead, there was another strange black figure. He raised his hand, and the skeleton turned into a fist-sized small skeleton, falling into his palm.

There was more than one black-clothed person. Another one appeared on the left. He drew a small knife and cut his own arm, letting the knife soak in blood before throwing it at Chu Liang.

Swish!

The flying knife came with a breaking sound. Chu Liang dodged sideways. The flying knife seemed to have eyes, suddenly shaking its head and stabbing towards Chu Liang in a very tricky way.

Chu Liang raised his hand and summoned his flying sword. The Hundred Swords Secret Technique was instantly used, and a hundred sword shadows turned into a sword shield, shattering the flying knife. Only then did he avoid the attack.

“Step back.” An old voice came from somewhere.

He turned his head to look at the two strange figures, but they suddenly disappeared as if they had never been there.

The evil witch.The name with a hint of strangeness surged in Chu Liang’s mind.

…

Chu Liang turned his head and glanced downstairs. Yun Zhaoxian hadn’t followed him, which meant he had encountered enemies as well.

It seemed that the guard of this Wanshan Tower was very tight, and they had discovered their invasion at the first moment.

Immediately, a small and hunched black-robed old man slowly walked up to the terrace.

“Hehe, young man…” The old man’s footsteps were slow but firm and steady. “I heard from the divine messenger of the demon clan that you used a move called the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to kill the fifth-stage Tiger King with extraordinary power. You must be a genius of some immortal sect in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”

Chu Liang looked at him quietly without answering.

It was not strange for some demon to have seen the scene of him killing the Tiger King that day and spread the word. However, if the other party regarded him as a master-level expert and made some arrangements against experts, it would be a bit unfair.

Chu Liang looked around and calculated his escape route.

So far, he was still calm and prepared. If things got out of hand, he would summon his dear master.

“I am just a small black witch of the fourth stage…” the old man continued.

Hearing his words, Chu Liang muttered in his heart.

You are really too polite.

I am just a small cultivator of the third stage.

“But since I dare to come and deal with you, I naturally have some confidence.” The old man smiled again.

Then he gently raised his hand, cut his left index finger, and wrote two characters in the air, seemingly praying.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around.

It was as if they were cut off from the rest of the world.

“I have killed many cultivators above my realm in my life with this spell. It’s not unreasonable for you to die here.” The old man’s voice suddenly became sharp.

“Forbidden Land!”

Boom!

The surrounding air suddenly became heavy.

Chu Liang felt that even his breathing became difficult.

The Forbidden Land…

It was a well-known witchcraft that was not weaker than the immortal technique within its range. Its effect was to create a pure land that prohibited all divine powers and magic weapons.

“How about it? Can’t use divine powers now, can you?” The old man approached while asking.

Chu Liang tried to mobilize his true energy, but his divine sense would turn into nothingness.

“Indeed.” He gave the old man a response for the first time.

“Even if you are a genius cultivator with extraordinary talent, you can only be helpless and become an ordinary person in this Forbidden Land.” The old man’s tone gradually became proud. “That’s why I chose to deal with you instead of that martial artist.”

“Perhaps you are stronger than him, but who made you a physically weak cultivator?” The old man laughed.

“We black witches have been fighting tigers and leopards since childhood, running in the mountains and ridges! Even ordinary warriors are not our opponents!”

As he spoke, the old man shouted and threw off his black robe, revealing a short-sleeved shirt and two short blades in his hands.

To be fair, his muscles were indeed strong for his age. They couldn’t be seen under the black robe earlier.

Immediately, four black-robed men walked out from the four corners of the terrace. They were the subordinates who had been driven away by the old man earlier. They now surrounded Chu Liang with their weapons, apparently afraid that he would escape.

Under the Forbidden Land, all powers were prohibited.

Even their witchcraft could not be used, so they were all prepared for hand-to-hand combat.It seems that this is not the first time they have tried to kill a master in a forbidden area like this.

The old man looked at Chu Liang’s eyes and felt that something was wrong.

This thin and weak-looking young man suddenly lost his most relied-upon divine power, but there was not a trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, there was more of a… playful look?

It seemed like he wanted to laugh.

Heh, still trying to act calm.

The old man sneered and shouted, “Kill!”

Boom! He took a step forward, leaping like a tiger or a leopard, his figure extremely agile!

And then.

Chu Liang, who was in front of him, suddenly disappeared.

Huh?

This old man from the witch clan was puzzled for a moment, and then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

It hurt, it hurt too much…

A pain he had never experienced in his life.

It seemed like… the pain of death.
