Dark clouds filled the sky, and giant bones formed mountains.

The Bone Mountain was eerie and terrifying, with the demonic cultivators being cunning and ruthless. One wrong step could cost one’s life.

After a brief stay outside, Liu Sen led three young people into the Hall of Loyalty. Along the way, there were constant shouts and greetings, indicating a close relationship among the disciples in the hall.

Walking through a wide corridor, they saw the Black Feather General sitting high in the hall.

The man looked young, with a youthful face and a slender figure. There was an evil aura between his eyebrows, and he was draped in a heavy, pure black cloak.

Seeing Liu Sen bringing the three over, the Black Feather General showed a smile, “Are these the young brothers you brought? Why are they hiding their faces?”

“Please forgive us, General. They were disciples of a small demonic sect before. They came here admiring your reputation, General Black Feather. To their original sect, this might be a bit disgraceful, so they have concealed their appearances,” Liu Sen explained with a bow.

There were many demonic sects, and it was not unusual for disciples from small sects to join larger ones.

Upon hearing this, the Black Feather General smirked, seemingly pleased, “Good! We are in need of people now. You’ve come at the right time. Bring the bowls!”

With that, several large bowls were brought over, one of which was filled with wine.

Just as Chu Liang and the others were wondering about his intentions, the Black Feather General suddenly stood up, swiftly approached them, and plucked a black feather from his cloak. The edge of the feather was as sharp as a knife. He held it in his left hand and pulled it with his right!

Hiss——

Blood spurted out, flowing profusely, instantly turning the white wine in the bowl red.

“Today, as you join our Hall of Loyalty, we will swear an oath of blood. From now on, we are brothers for life!” The Black Feather General declared loudly, full of passion.

Well, now they knew why it was called the Hall of Loyalty. This guy was a real gangster.

Chu Liang thought to himself, even for a blood oath, there was no need to be so brutal. This guy was too honest, it was more like wine mixed with blood… it was almost thickened.

The three exchanged glances, then stepped forward. Each of them cut their fingers and dropped a drop of blood into the bowl.

Chu Liang’s blood was almost golden due to his cultivation of the Spirit Light Blood Refining Technique and the Dragon Blood Secret Method. When it fell into the water, there was a faint fragrance. Fortunately, it was only a drop, so it wasn’t noticeable when mixed in.

The blood oath wine was then divided into several large bowls. The Black Feather General picked up his bowl and said solemnly, “I’ll drink first as a toast!”

With that, he drained his bowl.

His boldness made Chu Liang and the others shiver, and they only took a small sip.

“Hahaha!” The Black Feather General swung his cloak, not caring how much they had drunk, and returned to his seat, “A few days ago, the Palace Master issued an order. The Bone Palace will soon launch a major expedition. At that time, a hundred thousand demon soldiers will march out. It’s a great opportunity to make a name for yourselves!”

“We are willing to serve!” The three bowed in unison.

After the blood oath was over, the Black Feather General waved his hand and let them disperse, “You can go now. Get familiar with Bone Mountain. In a couple of days, I’ll have Cang Ying find a task for you to test your abilities. Make sure to perform well.”

“Yes!”

Getting into the Bone Palace was easier than they had imagined. The only difficulty was drinking the somewhat unsanitary blood oath wine. As the Black Feather General said, the Bone Palace was about to make a move, and it was a good time to expand their manpower, which was a bit of a bonus.

“Alright, now that everything is arranged, you can go about your business.” Liu Sen, who had introduced them, added, “Our Hall of Loyalty rarely restricts our brothers. As long as you don’t neglect your duties, you are free to do as you please.”

“Just don’t enter the palaces inside Bone Mountain.”

……

The three of them wandered around the Hall of Loyalty, seemingly getting familiar with the environment, but in reality, they were observing the enemy.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Loyalty was quite different from other places in the demonic sect. The cultivators in the hall were all friendly and boisterous, showing a strong camaraderie. It seemed that the Black Feather General, as the hall master, had a great influence on his subordinates.

Along the way, Monk Pǔ Shàn had something to say about everything, making him quite talkative. Luo Yao, on the other hand, was as reticent as ever. Chu Liang stood between them, appearing calm and composed… except for the occasional slight tremor of his body.

“Why are you shaking?” Monk Pǔ Shàn finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing.” Chu Liang could only smile.

Ever since they entered Bone Mountain, the Red Slayer Sword had been going crazy!

It was vibrating so violently inside the white tower that it was almost dancing. The intense agitation conveyed to Chu Liang’s heart, demonstrating the strong desire of this sword of justice to eradicate evil.

It was even hard to tell who the target was.

Originally, the Red Slayer Sword could clearly sense who the blood aura came from, but in this place where blood aura was everywhere, it was all mixed together.

It was like listening to a chorus of frogs.

But Chu Liang could only endure this agitation. After all, even with the enhancement of the Red Slayer Sword, it was impossible to deal with all the people in Bone Mountain.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted outside, and someone exclaimed, “Liu Mojie!”

The three of them returned to the hall and saw a woman in a fiery red dress gracefully walking in.Liu Mojie, ranked second in the Red Robe Hall, appeared to be much older than Yi Demon Princess, with the appearance of a mature beauty. Her eyebrows were like spring mountains, her eyes like autumn waters, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with indescribable charm.

Her figure was voluptuous and graceful. She wore a red dress with a slit at the waist, revealing a large expanse of fair skin. On her waist was a black lotus tattoo, which was extremely eye-catching.

Chu Liang looked at the tattoo and let out a soft gasp. Why did this black lotus look so familiar?

Upon seeing this woman, General Heiyu immediately stood up.

He laughed loudly, “Liu Mojie, what a surprise visit! Why didn’t you notify us in advance? I’m afraid I’ve failed to welcome you properly!”

“Hehe, it was a sudden visit. I hope you don’t mind my intrusion,” Liu Mojie’s voice was soft and seductive.

“How could I? The Red Robe Hall and the White Bone Hall are like branches of the same tree. We at the Loyalty Hall welcome you anytime,” General Heiyu replied heartily.

“How could I disturb you so casually?” Liu Mojie chuckled, “Actually, I came here to ask for your help.”

“Oh?” General Heiyu was slightly surprised, “What could you possibly need my help with?”

His surprise was understandable. Although he and Liu Mojie were theoretically peers, there were only four Demon Princesses in the Red Robe Hall, who were the only four direct disciples of the Red Robe Hall Master. They held high positions and had profound cultivation.

On the other hand, the White Bone Hall boasted eight hundred branches, and General Heiyu was just one of the eight hundred branch masters under the White Bone Mountain Master.

The value of the two was naturally incomparable.

“It’s not a big deal. We in the Red Robe Hall are short of hands and can’t spare any,” Liu Mojie said, “I just met with the White Bone Mountain Master, and he asked me to seek your help.”

“So it’s the Hall Master’s order! Of course, I will comply!” General Heiyu was startled.

He might not even see the Hall Master once a year. Since this task was assigned by the White Bone Mountain Master, he naturally had to take it seriously.

“We sisters want a furnace of Eternal Beauty Pills, but we don’t know where to find a suitable alchemist. We were hoping you could help us find one,” Liu Mojie said.

“Sure, leave it to me!” General Heiyu patted his chest.

“Then I must thank you in advance, General Heiyu.” Liu Mojie gave a slight bow, then turned around and left in a seductive manner.

The men of the Loyalty Hall watched her swaying figure leave, their eyes lingering.

Chu Liang was among them.

Luo Yao noticed his gaze and snorted, “I thought you were annoyed by just one glance at a woman?”

“Maybe it’s better if he looks twice,” Monk Pǔ Shàn added mischievously.

“I’m not looking at her, I’m looking at her tattoo,” Chu Liang explained.

“So Hero Chu likes this kind of thing,” Monk Pǔ Shàn nodded in understanding.

Luo Yao frowned, her eyes filled with disdain.

“…” Chu Liang was speechless.

The reason he was staring at the tattoo on Liu Mojie’s waist was that it looked familiar. After a moment of thought, he remembered that he had found a beautifully crafted bellyband in the evil land of the South Road, which had the same black lotus embroidered on it.

Could it be that Liu Mojie was the owner of that bellyband?

But the South Road was under the control of the Purple Gold Marquis, and Liu Mojie was a direct disciple of the Red Robe Hall. Their statuses matched, but the Left and Right Protectors of the Ming King Sect and the Four Halls of the Underworld were at odds… Their collusion might not be as simple as an affair…

He had been pondering this matter just now, but now he was misunderstood by Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn. He wanted to explain, but if he took out the bellyband, it would only confirm their suspicion that he was a pervert.

Considering that he didn’t have a positive image in their eyes anyway, Chu Liang simply shrugged.

Think whatever you want.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
