Chapter 170 Why hasn’t Chu Liang come yet?

Chapter 170 Why hasn’t Chu Liang come yet?

The day of demon extermination has finally arrived!

For this day, all forces in the county and capital have been preparing for a long time.

During these days, there were many more gatherings and secret talks among the major forces in the county than in the past. All parties put aside their past grievances and made verbal agreements, promising to work together in unity and cooperation in the mountains.

If there is no unity, when it comes to snatching treasures, the forces in the county cannot compete with the forces in the capital.

There are also people who are secretly in contact with Fucheng forces.

They tried to please the big forces in Fucheng, hoping to get some leftovers from the Fucheng forces.

The so-called trust between the various forces is like papyrus. It can be broken as soon as you poke it. There is no solid foundation at all.

During this period, many county forces sent people to Qiudao Martial Arts Hall, wanting to talk to Chu Liang.

But Chu Liang hung a plaque directly outside the door.

[Retreat, don’t disturb]

He rejected almost all invitations from the outside world. Whether they wanted to invite him to join the demon-slaying team or want to become his son-in-law, he was blocked by him.

"It's time to go into the mountain and see what treasures are behind the stone gate."

Chu Liang began to pack his things, looking forward to the stone gate.

He brought the required swords, bows, hidden weapons and other items, put on the soft armor, put the gray stone gate token into his arms, and then put on the mask.

The mask has been evolved by him and became the "seven-point mask".

It worked just as he thought.

After putting it on, this mask will fit tightly on the face without any flaws. It will not fall off even if there is a fierce fight, and it can transform into seven different faces.

With this mask, Chu Liang is equivalent to having seven new identities. No matter what he does in the future, he can use the false identity.

"This mask is really magical. I don't know what material it is made of. Even if I look carefully in the bronze mirror, I can't see any clues."

Chu Liang had seen many descriptions of Thousand-Faced Monsters and their masks in the martial arts books.

It is said that one of the materials for this mask is a special kind of silt obtained from the East China Sea.

The sludge is mixed with the essence and blood of various demonic beasts and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and is calcined and smelted. The final product is the material for making this mask.

Many warriors have gone to the East China Sea to obtain this material to make similar masks, but they all ended in failure, and some unlucky ones even died at the hands of the monsters in the sea.

"It's almost done, it's time to set off."

Chu Liang put the mask in his bag, told the donkey and the three dog demons to take care of the yard, took the two little mice and walked out of the yard.

In the martial arts hall, many disciples are also ready.

The owner of the gym, Li Ren, and his two disciples are going, as are the three masters. Only Manager Wang is left to guard the martial arts gym.

Manager Wang is already old. He no longer has the youthful bravery. He doesn't want to go out to fight and kill. He just wants to stay in the martial arts school and spend his old age peacefully.

"Everyone, please take care of yourself on this trip. Life is the priority, opportunity is the priority. Don't throw away your life just to snatch treasures and opportunities." Manager Wang came to the door of the martial arts hall, with a head full of white hair and a vicissitudes of voice, to see everyone off.

"Manager Wang, please feel at ease."

Everyone bowed their hands and said goodbye to Manager Wang.

Today, the county's flags are fluttering, the sky is like clouds, and people from all forces have gathered at the north gate of the county.

The weapons were clashing, the scales were shining, they were vast and majestic, as if they were an army composed of warriors.

call!

A strong wind blew, causing countless flags to flutter.

The power of the prefectural city and the county city are clearly distinct, and each has its own side.

Chu Liang stood among the many warriors in the Autumn Sword Martial Arts Hall, with Qi Xiuliang beside him.

Qi Xiuliang is equipped with a sophisticated treasure weapon. He has extraordinary momentum and powerful strength. He is far more powerful than he was before he became a disciple. His energy and blood have already reached a higher level.

Not long after, Song Zhong, who had made an appointment with them, also arrived.

"Hey, brother Qi made a breakthrough?" As soon as Song Zhong arrived, he found that Qi Xiuliang's aura was a little unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it seemed that he had not yet fully grasped the power he had.

"Yes, I gathered the third energy and blood last night." Qi Xiuliang said with a smile on his face that he was lucky.

"Okay! This way, our team will be stronger." Song Zhong said sincerely.

But he was also a little confused and asked: "Brother Qi, I remember it hasn't been long since you gathered the second stream of qi and blood. How come you gathered the third stream of qi and blood so quickly?"

"It's a bit of a chance encounter, just a coincidence."

"Opportunity? This is a good thing. I didn't expect Brother Qi to be someone with great luck."

Song Zhong and everyone in his team were a little envious and congratulated Qi Xiuliang one after another.

Only Chu Liang knew that Qi Xiuliang could make such rapid progress because he must have changed to a stronger technique and obtained enough resources.

The same goes for Chu Liang himself. His "Dragon and Tiger Body Training Technique" far surpasses that of other forces in the county, and he takes all kinds of elixirs as if they are free, so he can make rapid progress and gain the title of genius.

Qi Xiuliang looked at the front of the team and said in a deep voice: "In this operation, all the major leather refining realms are taking the lead. They will be the first to enter the mountains. We are only responsible for cleaning up."

Song Zhong looked at Chu Liang and asked, "Brother Chu, did you send a message earlier asking us to follow the Qin family's team?"

"right."

Chu Liang pointed to the Qin family's team not far away and said: "I have agreed with the Qin family leader that after entering the mountain, you will act together with the Qin family's children."

"Brother Chu, do you want to act alone?"

"Well, I have something to do."

"Well, I'll follow your arrangements."

Neither Song Zhong nor Qi Xiuliang asked what it was, as everyone had their own secrets.

They also believed Chu Liang, after all, Chu Liang had hunted alone in the mountains for more than two months.

Not long after, Luo Hong, the head of the meritorious hall, came over and conveyed Qi Cang's intentions to Chu Liang.

"Chu Liang, the leader asked me to come and call you. You and Qi Xiuliang will follow the teams of the various halls of my martial arts alliance. Your identities are important and cannot be lost." Luo Hong said solemnly.

"Headmaster Luo, I have already made an agreement with the head of the Qin family. I will act together with the Qin family." Chu Liang bowed his hands and said.

"Oh? Qin family? Could it be that you..."

Luo Hong looked at the Qin family team meaningfully, and his eyes stayed on Qin Yu for a moment.

He sighed in his heart. He originally wanted to recruit Chu Liang as his son-in-law, but now it seems that he may not be able to compete with the Qin family.

On the Qin family side, Qin Yuandao noticed his gaze and smiled at him casually.

Then, Qin Yuandao walked towards Qi Cang and said a few words to Qi Cang.

A trace of surprise flashed across Qi Cang's face, and his old eyes cast towards Chu Liang. He said a few more words to Qin Yuandao, and finally nodded, as if he had reached some kind of agreement with Qin Yuandao.

After a while, a Qin family member hurried over to the Qiu Dao Martial Arts Hall.

"Young Master Chu, our family master invites you!"

"Okay."

Chu Liang smiled, and it seemed that everything was going well.

He immediately said goodbye to the owner Li Ren, and took Qi Xiuliang, Song Zhong and others to the Qin family's team.

Many warriors from small forces around cast envious eyes, and they naturally wanted to act with the Qin family, but they could not get the Qin family's recognition.

"Alas, geniuses are different, and all forces are scrambling to protect them." Someone sighed.

Some people also said sourly: "Hmph, what's the point of living under the protection of others all day long? There are countless difficulties and dangers on the road of martial arts, and you have to rely on your own fists to get through them!"

"That's right, the road of martial arts for us is all fought for."

"Then Chu Liang can only enjoy what others give him. In the long run, he will definitely become weak and his state of mind will slowly fall."

Many warriors comforted themselves in this way and encouraged themselves secretly.

They made up their minds that they must grab enough treasures and make a name for themselves when they entered the mountains this time!

Qi Cang had already arranged the specific matters of entering the mountains.

As Qi Xiuliang said just now, many warriors in the skin refining realm will enter the deep mountains first, like a sharp knife, and go straight to the location of the demon heart fruit.

As for the remaining blood coagulation realm warriors, they will be divided into three groups, entering the deep mountains from different directions, and finally converge in that area.

These three groups are further divided into countless small forces, and the smallest is a team composed of some scattered warriors.

Each team has at least ten people, and almost all of them are familiar with each other.

"Fortunately, Alliance Leader Qi Cang did not force us to do anything."

"Warriors are free and undisciplined by nature. Alliance Leader Qi must know that. They are not an army, so how can they obey orders in an orderly manner?"

"Isn't the black armored cavalry of the Marquis' Mansion an army composed of warriors?"

"That's an exception..."

Many county warriors were whispering to each other.

On the other side, the warriors in the prefecture city were also communicating. Their momentum was obviously stronger than that of the county city, and their strength brought them enough confidence.

The four major lord families were independent on the side.

The expressions of these lords' children were the most arrogant, and they looked down on the various forces in the county.

Even when facing warriors who were also born in the prefecture city, they would still maintain a superior attitude, like a group of proud eagles.

However, among the people of the Marquis' Mansion in Rui County, Liu Yu, the second lady of the Marquis' Mansion, looked a little unnatural.

Her brother Liu Yuan stood aside and asked in a low voice: "Sister, didn't you say that Chu Liang would come to visit before entering the mountains to kill the monster? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Wait!"

Liu Yu gritted her teeth and glanced fiercely at the Qin family in the direction of the county town.

"When this battle is over, he will see the strength of many warriors in the prefecture city and realize his own insignificance. At that time, he will definitely come to beg to join our Bo Mansion!"
