“Miss Luo, do you have any deeper understanding of the Mingwang Sect?” Chu Liang asked, “I know very little about it. If you have any information, we can share it.”

Regardless, the fact that Luo Yao was the one who discovered “Sixty” made him happy.

No matter how bad the reputation of Sanjue Valley was among the righteous path, it was still one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a legitimate and upright sect. In the pile of villains of the Mingwang Sect, she was Chu Liang’s steadfast ally.

The two of them put their helmets back on and returned to the cave, their conversation much smoother than before.

“I don’t know much either…” Luo Yao said, “I only know that under the command of the Purple Gold Marquis, everything is managed hierarchically. The Purple Gold Marquis only manages the Soul Guiding Envoys and is not familiar with the Earth Sha Envoys; the Soul Guiding Envoys only manage their own Earth Sha Envoys and are not very familiar with the Soul Capturing Envoys. But even the superiors don’t have much contact with their subordinates, they only offer living souls to the Purple Gold Marquis at the monthly Soul Gathering Meeting. Apart from that, there is not much communication.”

“That does provide us with a convenience to infiltrate them.” Chu Liang responded.

“Yes, the only ones in the entire Mingwang Sect who might recognize us are the Earth Sha Envoys who manage us.” Luo Yao said, “So once we enter the mountain, as long as we find a way to get rid of him, no one else will be able to discover us.”

After thinking for a moment, she said to Chu Liang, “Some of the divine abilities of my Sanjue Valley are similar to those of the Mingwang Sect, such as the art of controlling ghosts, so it’s relatively easy for me to disguise myself. But once you make a move, it’s inevitable that you’ll expose a different lineage, so you must try to hide as much as possible.”

“I understand.” Chu Liang naturally had considered this, and he would have to adapt to the situation at that time.

“Also, the elders of my valley believe that we should try to stay hidden as long as possible for this operation.” Luo Yao continued, “The Southern Route Soul Guiding Envoys are mobilizing such a large force, they must have found something worth risking in the mountains of the Southern Territory. We plan to wait until the treasure is in hand before making a move, capturing them all in one fell swoop. Before that, try not to expose ourselves.”

Chu Liang nodded, “Okay.”

This idea coincided with his own, but now it was not easy for him to say that his master was also waiting outside, which could easily cause internal conflicts. He could only wait until the treasure was found, and the elders of both sides arrived, and then let the elders decide who the treasure belonged to.

However.

He didn’t know how tough the elder from Sanjue Valley was, but he guessed that he probably wasn’t as tough as his master.

“Also, the disciples of the Mingwang Sect mainly use soul control and soul refining as their main methods, and their physical bodies are relatively weak. So when dealing with them, the forbidden area is a good choice. Just now I noticed that your physical body is quite strong, if we have the chance we can work together.” Luo Yao added.

Chu Liang finally understood.

No wonder she started with the forbidden area just now.

Her physical body was not particularly strong, but she was quite proficient in the use of hidden weapons, combined with the use of Gu and poison techniques, her lethality was extremely high.

If she were to combine her Ten Tigers’ Strength and Brick Fighting Technique, it would be like a combination of a mage and a warrior, which could complement each other. As long as they weren’t dealing with a martial arts expert at the level of Yun Zhaoxian, they wouldn’t fare well against them.

With that in mind, Chu Liang took out another Hidden Yuan Pill and handed it to Luo Yao.

“Miss Luo, this is a Hidden Yuan Pill, it can conceal the fluctuations of your true qi when you make a move.” Chu Liang said, “You keep it first, you might need it later.”

The reason he took out this pill was because Luo Yao had been quite open and honest with him, and he didn’t have any information to exchange, so he could only show his sincerity in this way.

Luo Yao didn’t hesitate, she naturally knew about this soon-to-be-extinct Hidden Yuan Pill, and immediately took it. Her gaze at Chu Liang softened considerably.

When it came to building rapport before the event, Chu Liang was always generous.

…

The two of them stayed in the cave for a while longer. Although Luo Yao wasn’t much of a talker, Chu Liang’s timely jokes made their conversation quite harmonious.

As it was getting late, the Soul Capturing Order shook, and another message came.

“Fifty-nine”: “Have you guys met up yet? I’m almost there, are we still meeting at the Wolf Tail Forest?”

Chu Liang read it, didn’t reply immediately, but opened his eyes and asked Luo Yao, “Still here?”

Luo Yao nodded lightly, “Okay.”

“Alright.” Chu Liang said, “Let’s see if we can get some information out of him first, then we’ll use the old method, I’ll cooperate with you.”

The two of them had a brief conversation and quickly came up with a plan to welcome “Fifty-nine”.

“Fifty-eight”: “The black stone pile in the Wolf Tail Forest is still there.”

“Sixty”: “Correct.”

“Sha”: “Good, I was worried that you two would have conflicts when you met first. Once the three of you are together, it should be stable. I will arrive early tomorrow morning, and then I will take you to meet up with the Soul Guiding Envoy.”

The matter of backstabbing was indeed something that everyone in the demonic sect had to worry about.

Not long after, a figure flashed into the cave entrance, accompanied by a surprised voice, “Ah! You guys are really here, I finally found you.”

Chu Liang and Luo Yao had sensed it early on. When they looked over, they saw a man in a black robe, his face covered by a hood, his aura completely concealed…

Another outfit clash.

Chu Liang was already numb to this.

This “Fifty-nine” didn’t seem to be very cautious, so he should be able to get some information out of him.

With that in mind, Chu Liang pointed to the stone stool next to him, “Sit.”

“Oh, I can finally sit for a while, I’m exhausted. You have no idea how I’ve been rushing over these past few days. I thought I could be the first one, but who would have thought I’d still be behind…”

Without needing any prompting, “Fifty-nine” immediately started chattering non-stop, recounting his hardships along the way.

Chu Liang listened carefully for a while, but found no useful information…

So he found an opportunity to interrupt “Fifty-nine” and asked, “Have you had any major gains recently?”

Since all seventy-two Soul Capturing Envoys were collecting living souls for the Purple Gold Marquis, it wasn’t strange to ask this question.”Number Fifty-nine,” upon hearing this, immediately laughed and said, “Haha, speaking of this, I must tell you about my experiences over the past few months. First, I was in the City of Hundred Flowers…”

“Then, I went to the Night Tour City…”

“Next was the Jinse City…”

“Just like that, I gained nothing.”

In the end, he helplessly spread his hands.

Chu Liang was exasperated. How could this man have no useful information at all, yet he had been talking non-stop for half an hour?

He shouldn’t have asked him anything.

He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Luo Yao, as if to suggest, should we stop asking and just take action?

Luo Yao subtly nodded her head, as if to say, I’ve been holding back for a long time.

How could someone be so noisy?

Having reached a consensus, Luo Yao stood up and said, “Earlier, I discovered a valley on that hillside. It seems to be hiding some heavenly treasures. Who will accompany me to check it out?”

Chu Liang looked around and said, “Since we’re all here, let’s not split up. Let’s go together.”

“Let’s go together, that sounds good.” To everyone’s surprise, “Number Fifty-nine” suddenly stood up, completely unguarded, and even sounded excited, “Even if there are no heavenly treasures, it’s good for us to get out and move around.”

Looking at his innocent expression, Chu Liang couldn’t help but wonder, could this man not be from the demonic sect… Could a demonic cultivator be like this?

He was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

The two of them led “Number Fifty-nine” out of the cave, along the familiar path, and over the hillside. After a while, “Number Fifty-nine” seemed to realize something was wrong.

“That doesn’t look like a valley over there, does it?” he asked.

Before his words fell.

There was another “crack” sound in the air.

The forbidden area descended once again!
