Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

Chapter 516: The Mount Shu Sect Will Rise Again!(III) [End of Book 5]

In an instant, the scene shifted, and everyone found themselves on islands that were completely different from the ones before.

In the dense forest, a stark white cloak suddenly came into view. Chu Liang quickly flipped over and tucked the White Bear Cloak away.

This item had its limitations in certain environments, but on snowy terrain, it was exceptionally effective—much better than any camouflage technique.

Recalling what he had just overheard, he fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly lay down on the ground and shouted, "Help!"

The tall male disciple who had also been teleported to this island—the one who had previously fought Xu Ziyang—heard Chu Liang's cries and immediately rushed over.

He saw Chu Liang lying on the ground, shouting, "Senior Brother, the spider silk here is poisonous; be careful!"

"Hm?" The tall man looked at him with indifference. "Don't pretend. This is the sect leader's hidden realm; how could there be poison?"

"I don't know; maybe it's something new this time..." Chu Liang replied, but suddenly his face began to darken, clearly indicating that the poison was taking hold. As his body stiffened, he called out, "Help me..."

This didn't seem fake at all. The male disciple furrowed his brow and flew over, asking, "What kind of poison is this?"

The moment he landed beside Chu Liang, he accidentally got tangled in a strand of spider silk. While he was distracted, a burst of black light suddenly shot out from Chu Liang's hand!

Whoosh—

In an instant, the Demon-Binding Rope wrapped around him tightly! As the enchanted tool activated, crackling electric sparks surged over his body.

With the current toughness of the Demon-Binding Rope, even a sixth-realm cultivator would struggle to break free from it. The only issue with the Demon-Binding Rope was that it wasn't fast enough, which meant that it could only be used during a surprise attack.

"Hmph." The senior brother then realized he had been tricked. He sneered and said, "Do you think you can trap me with this?"

He immediately activated the Metallic Body, attempting to break free from the Demon-Binding Rope.

A sudden surge of black mist rose up, causing his body to stiffen and his qi to slow down considerably.

"It really is poisonous..." he said with a frown.

"It's absolutely real; otherwise, how could I have tricked you, Senior Brother?" Chu Liang said as he struggled to his feet.

He took out a whip and lashed himself a few times, creating loud snapping noises.

With the black mist dissipating, he at last returned to his normal state.

Earlier, he had poisoned himself with spider silk so that he could create a facade that intertwined truth and lies to deceive his senior brother and achieve his goal.

Yet, if this senior brother chose to ignore him, he would be the first disciple to withdraw from the trial of his own accord.

However, if he wanted to defeat a much stronger opponent, he had to gamble on his chances.

"Wanna be whipped too?" he said, glancing at the Senior Brother.

Perhaps the senior brother was feeling somewhat embarrassed as he pouted and looked away.

However, before long, the black mist thickened. The spider silk's poison was potent, and the Lightning Orb on the Demon-Binding Rope continuously weakened his ability to fight back, causing the poison to flow chaotically within his body.

This was all thanks to Wen Yulong's design; otherwise, how could one possibly bring down a sixth-realm cultivator? Chu Liang had no idea how Wen Yulong came up with so many ingenious yet wicked ideas.

"Give me a try," the former disciple said, realizing that the whip had a detoxification effect. He had no choice but to ask to be whipped.

Snap.

A whip cracked down, dispersing part of the black mist.

"Whew." His stiffness eased slightly as he exhaled before saying, "One more time."

"No, that won't do. Wait a moment," Chu Liang shook his head. "I'll whip you again if you behave well."

If all the poison in his body were cleansed, it would be difficult to restrain him with just the Demon-Binding Rope.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky again, and Chu Liang quickly grabbed his senior brother.

Rumble—

...

When the scene shifted once more, Chu Liang and the senior brother he had captured found themselves together in a sea of flowers.

Without hesitation, Chu Liang seized the prisoner, ascended into the sky, and shouted, "Senior brothers and sisters, please come out for a chat!"

As soon as he appeared, the woman who had been chasing him earlier quickly approached. Seeing the tall man he had captured, she was quite surprised. "Senior Brother Liang?"

The tall man remained silent, quietly turning his head away.

"I had to resort to a little trick, and my senior brother fell for it because of his kind heart. I heard that you also captured one of our junior brothers, so I have a suggestion..." Chu Liang said with a smile, "How about an exchange of captives?"

"Hmmm?" The woman looked at Chu Liang, appearing rather dubious. If they exchanged captives, it would likely benefit their side more.

The disciples from previous generations were more capable and powerful. They could easily capture someone again at any time.

On the other hand, it would be much more difficult for Chu Liang to use the same trick to capture another disciple from that generation.

After giving it some thought, she said, "Of course, the exchange is possible."

"That said, all members of your group must be present during the exchange to prevent any tricks," Chu Liang said.

The woman nodded in agreement. "Then all of you must be present too to prevent anyone from escaping."

"Additionally, from the end of the exchange until the next location change, you are not allowed to attack us." Chu Liang quickly set the rules.

"Deal." The woman nodded and invoked a divine technique, exclaiming loudly, "Everyone! Come over here!"

Chu Liang called out as well, "Senior Brother Xu! Senior Sister Jiang! Gather over here!"

With the sound waves vibrating through the air, three disciples from the previous generation quickly assembled. Another female disciple approached, gripping Ling Ao firmly in mid-air to prevent him from breaking free.

Ling Ao's expression at this moment was similar to that of the man opposite; both of them silently turned their heads away, acting like ostriches.

Meanwhile, Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai also arrived beside Chu Liang.

The woman on the opposite side couldn't help but glance at Chu Liang again. It was easy for her to summon the others over here.

However, under these circumstances, the fact that the other two were willing to respond to Chu Liang's call and gather here demonstrated their deep trust in him.

With the basic rules clearly laid out, the disciples from the previous generation readily agreed to the exchange.

The process was quite simple. Chu Liang would release the Demon-Binding Rope from the man, and the senior sister on the opposite side would naturally release Ling Ao as well.

Then, members from both sides would bow their heads and return to their respective places.

At that instant, the surface of the sea seemed to ripple. A horde of fierce beasts let out another round of roars, drawing everyone's attention upward.

"Huh?" Senior Sister Zhu turned her gaze around, saying, "Something's up!"

Suddenly, everyone focused their attention, yet there wasn't a single figure in the sky. Just as they averted their eyes, another woman cried out, "There's someone in the sea!"

It turned out that there was a figure in the sea, using the water escape technique to move forward at high speed.

At this point, she was halfway across the water. Oddly enough, all the vicious beasts had congregated on the far shore, behaving as if they were insane and ignoring the figure crossing the sea.

She was about to reach the exit!

The figure crossing the sea was none other than Jiang Yuebai!

Yet the Jiang Yuebai standing in front of them was equally real.

"Immortal Art: External Manifestation!"

"Stop them!" Chu Liang shouted as well.

Several disciples from the previous generation immediately wanted to leave and stop Jiang Yuebai in the sea. However, her mastery of the water escape technique was exceptional, making her incredibly fast in the water.

Moreover, with Chu Liang and the others blocking their path, how could they possibly catch up?

Dazzling lights lit up the sky as divine techniques and enchanted tools soared through the air, causing instant chaos. While the disciples of the younger generation were no match for their opponents, their intent was merely to obstruct, which was much simpler to accomplish.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuebai's silhouette appeared under the brilliant light pillar.

Whoosh—

Enshrouded in a seven-colored brilliance, her figure quickly blurred and then vanished from the hidden realm.

...

After leaving the hidden realm, several disciples of the previous generation looked a bit dejected but still quite puzzled.

"You all actually managed to win."

"How did you do it?"

"Don't blame yourselves for losing; he was just too cunning," the Discipline Master interjected with a grin. "Everything was part of his plan, starting with the act of pretending to be poisoned."

The woman with the surname Zhu glanced at Jiang Yuebai, looking as if she had just understood something. She then asked, "Could it be that this junior sister from the Jiang family used her blood to attract all the beasts? The blood of a Transcendent Spirit constitution?"

"That's correct," Jiang Yuebai said with a nod.

The blood of a Transcendent Spirit was an irresistible temptation to demonic beasts, so it was no shock that the ferocious creatures in the sea rushed frantically to one side.

Jiang Yuebai needed to create two additional manifestations of herself: one clone headed to the gathering point, while the second carried a vial of her blood to the shore. Meanwhile, her true self began crossing the sea from the opposite bank, using the water escape technique.

By the time everyone realized, there was simply no way to stop it.

The disciples from the previous generation fell for this because they thought that the vicious beasts in the sea would limit the movements of the younger disciples.

They thought of this limitation as a rule and didn't think that it could possibly be broken.

"How did you execute such seamless coordination?" another woman inquired, looking at Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai. "The plan was perfect, but it required constant communication between the two of you."

Chu Liang smiled faintly. "We share a mental connection."

"We have our own method of sending messages," Jiang Yuebai replied honestly.

"Oh?" another male disciple asked. "Are the disciples of this generation given such items?"

"No," Ling Ao shook his head. "Just the two of them have it."

The disciples from the previous generation responded with a playful, knowing tone, "Oooohhh—"

"That's wonderful," the tall man said, looking at them with a sudden, sincere smile. "I feel... there is hope for the Mount Shu Sect."

"Indeed," the woman with the surname Zhu added with a smile. "Mount Shu will rise."

Although the disciples from the previous generation lost in this trial, they were all smiling with genuine warmth.

For reasons unknown, the ambiance seemed to suggest that the legacy of the Mount Shu Sect had been passed down to the next generation.

"The Mount Shu Sect will rise again!"
