黑色丝袜美美女被躁翻了

Chapter 375: Purge

That was what happened earlier in the fight against the demon divine envoy. Zhang Chen had used the scroll in midair, but the demon divine envoy had shot Zhang Chen down before the scroll could teleport him.

Nevertheless, it was quite useful in the current situation. Zhang Chen quickly escaped the valley with Wei Xi.

Chu Liang silently pondered about the situation. The imperial court is in such a hurry to place Wei Xi under their control...

It probably isn't just because they're afraid of outsiders getting hold of him. They're probably also afraid that he might have some wicked desires of his own. After all, the skeleton might be an ancient treasure.

Chu Liang immediately set off with Zhuge Guanxing to search the valley. However, instead of searching for Wei Xi, they were seeing if any of their squad members were still fighting the enemy.

Shortly after Wei Xi left, the deep, loud roar of a leopard rang out from the fog. It seemed to be sending out a message.

Chu Liang and Zhuge Guanxing rushed over to the source of the sound and saw a leopard demon. It was the one that Ji Lingyu had encountered, but it was now entangled with Ghost Face. As for what had happened in between, no one knew.

Meanwhile, two more demon divine envoys heard the leopard demon's call and swiftly rushed over. Ghost Face could hold his own against one divine envoy, but now that he was suddenly facing three, he panicked.

Seeing that, Chu Liang and Zhuge Guanxing just stayed hidden; they didn't make any moves to reveal their presence.

It would be a total joke to even try doing anything. Even one demon divine envoy was hard to handle, let alone three. There was simply no need for them to risk their lives to save Ghost Face.

Ghost Face could tell that this was a losing battle too. His opponent's allies had all come to help, yet he had no one on his side. He quickly retreated several dozen zhang, creating some distance between them.

Then he unfurled a large banner.

"Disperse!"

The fog dispersed at once!

With the fog cleared, the whole valley was now revealed to everyone. The valley was in a sorry state, having been ravaged by the chaotic battle.

Suddenly exposed to the sunlight, everyone paused, feeling a bit awkward.

The fake Celestial Hunting Guardians and the demon divine envoys scanned the valley with their divine sense and found that Wei Xi was no longer there. They then abruptly stopped fighting and left.

Coming to the same realization, Ghost Face frowned.

He flew into the air and shouted, "Members of the Ghost-Face Chamber, follow me! We're leaving!"

The battle in the Valley of Bewildering Fog hadn't lasted long, but it had certainly been chaotic.

Chu Liang and Zhuge Guanxin waited for a moment before getting up to respond to Ghost Face. If they emerged too quickly, Ghost Face might realize they had been nearby but hadn't gone to help him. That would be pretty hard to explain.

Soon after, all the members of the Ghost-Face Chamber gathered and flew to an open space on a nearby mountain. Then they finally took a breather.

"We let the target escape." Ghost Face looked dejected. "The hall master gave me an operation for the first time, and I failed..."

Actually, there had been no issues with his plan. With the fog obstructing outsiders, the members of the Ghost-Face Chamber should have been able to find and kill the target very quickly.

If only the members of the Ghost-Face Chamber were all of one mind with him...

Chu Liang comforted Ghost Face. "Old Chamber Master, this isn't your fault. Who would have thought demons would suddenly appear? Moreover... there's another crucial reason that the target was able to escape... We have a traitor in our midst!"

"Eh?" Ghost Face narrowed his eyes. "It's that true?"

"Absolutely true. This guy's the traitor!" Chu Liang threw Xiao Si to the ground. "Not only did he let the target go, but he even turned around to stop me from going after the target!"

Despite Ghost Face's dejected state, he didn't immediately believe Chu Liang's words. Instead, he shot a beam of silver light toward Xiao Si to wake him up for further questioning.

Xiao Si woke with a quiver and opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Chu Liang.

Ghost Face yelled at Xiao Si, "Who sent you? If you don't explain clearly, I will flay you and extract your soul, leaving you in eternal torment!"

While Ghost Face was yelling, a burst of light that only Chu Liang could see shot out from his hand. It was a Chain of Resentment!

This time, Chu Liang targeted Xiao Si and himself! He couldn't target Ghost Face with the Chain of Resentment, so Chu Liang simply made himself the second target.

In a split second, a wave of rage surged in Chu Liang's heart.

As a member of a diabolical sect, this piece of crap must have the blood of countless lives on his hands. Just looking at him makes me angry!

Xiao Si had been lying weakly on the ground in poor health, yet he suddenly flew into a rage too.

Chu Liang had snatched away Xiao Si's position as the new chamber master and even ambushed him, causing him to be in such a miserable state. There was no doubt he hated Chu Liang deeply.

"I'll kill you!" Xiao Si roared, suddenly jumping to his feet.

He drew his saber and slashed at Chu Liang in front of everyone!

Chu Liang flipped his hand over and took out a yin-nature talisman from his storage tool. He ruthlessly smacked it onto Xiao Si.

After that, there were sounds of weapons piercing flesh.

Chu Liang hadn't stabbed Xiao Si. Instead, several weapons appeared out of thin air and flew over, stabbing Xiao Si from the side.

Thud.

Xiao Si's corpse fell to the ground.

The resentment and rage clouding Chu Liang's mind instantly dissipated. So, that's what it feels like to be bound by the Chain of Resentment.

Chu Liang turned to Ghost Face and said, "I intended to keep him alive so that we could interrogate him. I didn't think he'd be so relentless, choosing death over surrender..."

Having witnessed the scene himself, Ghost Face didn't have much to say.

If Chu Liang had killed Xiao Si first and then returned to say that he had eliminated the traitor, Ghost Face might have doubted Chu Liang's claim. However, Chu Liang had brought Xiao Si to Ghost Face. Then Xiao Si tried to commit murder in Ghost Face's presence, making it very clear what was going on.

If Xiao Si wasn't guilty, why would he make a move in such a situation?

Ghost Face gave a light nod and said to everyone, "You all saw that, right? This is the fate of a traitor. I hope there are no more among you."

Chu Liang quickly replied, "Old Chamber Master, please rest assured. All of the brothers we have here now are trustworthy."

After purging Xiao Si, the Ghost-Face Chamber had become a lot purer.

A while later, Ghost Face sighed. "Haaa... You should all go your separate ways for now. I will report this matter to the hall master."

The members of the Ghost-Face Chamber flew off the mountain one by one.

Even if they wanted to meet up again later, they had to first create the illusion that they were going their separate ways.

...

By the time Chu Liang made it back to Silver Sword Peak, it was already late in the day.

He returned to his small wooden cabin, shut the door without a word, and launched his reward session.

The wolf-demon divine envoy had been so fearsome. Chu Liang should be able to get something good for killing it.

Inside the White Pagoda, three Large-Headed Dolls sat in a row against the wall. They were surrounded by an incredibly dazzling and hazy Sea of Qi. Chu Liang felt satisfied just by looking at it.

Oh Large-Headed Dolls, circulate more and more... circulate to give me a good life.

Chu Liang stepped forward and pressed the "Refine" button, and there was a flash of light.

Boom.

A ball of light floated into Chu Liang's hands.

[The Guiding Moonlight of the Heavenly Howling Wolf: These are homing targets made with moonlight and arrows crafted with a wolf's soul. Once a homing target has been stuck somewhere, the arrows will be guided to always hit the homing target as long as the arrows are released with sufficient force to cover the distance.]

As the light faded, Chu Liang looked at the reward in his hands.

One hand held ten long arrows of a dark gold color, with golden wolf heads engraved onto the arrow heads. They gave off a bloodthirsty and threatening aura.

The other hand held ten sheets of moon-white talisman paper that shimmered brightly. This talisman paper was naturally the legendary homing target. It just needed to pasted somewhere, and the wolf-head arrows would home in on it.

This seems very powerful.

Coincidentally, this is the perfect time for me to practice my archery. I've got a large bow in that bag I took.

Oh, I said I would share the items in the bag with Zhang Chen and Zhuge Guanxing later... but now I'm keeping the bronze mask and the large bow...

Guess if it comes down to it, I could let them split the rations and water in the bag among themselves?
