[Sha]: "Fifty-eight, is the matter with Kaoshan City over? Are you okay?"
Back in the hut, Chu Liang's consciousness penetrated the soul-binding order and saw such news.
Ah.
I'm too lazy to point it out to you, are you concerned about my safety? You obviously care about that golden lotus in the underworld.
He saw through Sha's little thoughts at a glance.
The matter in Kaoshan City has been over for a few days, but Chu Liang has not communicated with the "same sect" of the Pluto Sect in the Soul Realm Space. Now this evil spirit may have read the news from the Qixing Mansion newspaper and learned that the demon envoy from the backing city had been killed.
The Golden Lotus of the Sea of Hell that Fifty-Eight mentioned before should also belong to it.
He was anxious.
[Fifty-nine]: "I also saw the news in the Qixing Mansion newspaper. The demon tribe's divine envoy was killed by two righteous disciples. Senior has been silent these past few days. Is there something unexpected that happened to him?"
Fifty-nine, this street gangster arrived late, but he arrived.
The reason why Chu Liang did not inform them of the news in time was after some consideration.
First of all, as myself, a disciple of the righteous Shushan Sect. He did get the Underworld Golden Lotus, but it was impossible for him to hand over this heavenly material and earthly treasure to Sha.
He was lurking in this soul space in order to find an opportunity to spy on the whereabouts of Zijin Hou. He has not gained anything yet, so how could he commit such an act of slandering the enemy in the first place.
As for using the golden lotus of the underworld as bait to catch the evil spirit and then get rid of it, Chu Liang has also thought about this, but this will inevitably expose himself.
One of the twenty-four evil spirits of the Pluto Sect, in his eyes, he is a powerful demon cultivator in the fifth realm, so terrifying. But in the eyes of Emperor Nvfeng, she was just a small fish, and it was really not worth it to expose her as a precious secret to him.
Therefore, the Underworld Golden Lotus must not be given to him. At least it must be kept in his hand for now. If it has other uses in the future, he will consider whether to take it out.
This was what Chu Liang thought clearly first.
Then, as fifty-eight, think with the logic of a Pluto Sect Soul Controller.
As a member of the devil's path, he worked hard to help his superiors fight for the treasure. Even if he really got it, would he really hand it over honestly?
not necessarily.
Therefore, whether it is the logic of a "wolf" or the logic of a "good guy", Chu Liang will not take out the Golden Lotus of the Underworld.
If you don't take out the Underworld Golden Lotus, there must be a justifiable reason. This reason must be enough to convince Sha, at least it cannot reduce trust.
If you just say that the fight failed, of course there is no problem, but it will reduce Sha's trust in himself, and it will be more difficult to obtain information from him in the future.
Therefore, the situation Chu Liang built for himself was not only a failure, but also a serious injury and hiding.
In this way, even if he doesn't think he is loyal, he will always have a slightly better impression of himself.
As a senior member of the Demonic Path, would you take the initiative to contact your fellow disciples after being injured? Chu Liang didn't think so either.
Even Zijin Hou was seriously injured and did not dare to return to the Hades Clan Gate for fear of being assassinated by his fellow disciples, let alone a little shrimp like him?
So it makes sense to remain silent.
Sure enough, after the Seven Star Mansion newspaper was sent out, the evil envoy couldn't bear it any longer.
After thinking for a while, Chu Liang gave a reply.
[Fifty-eight]: "I'm sorry, Zun Sha, but my subordinates are incompetent! I previously tried to fight for the Golden Lotus of the Sea of Hell in the backing city but failed and was seriously injured. I am now recovering from my injuries."
[Sha]: "Injured? Who hurt you? Is the injury serious?"
His question was in line with Chu Liang's previous expectations, so he answered without hesitation.
[58]: "The disciples of the Gang Sect were really powerful that day. My subordinates suffered serious internal injuries. They have gradually recovered in the past few days."
The Qixing Mansion newspaper had stated that the ones who killed the demon clan’s envoy were Yun Chaoxian, a disciple of the Gang Sect, and Chu Liang, a disciple of the Shushan Mountain. Naturally, it would be more convincing to bring these two along.
It was impossible for Chu Liang to bring hatred to him.
Then we can only say that Yun Chao did it first.
[Sha]: "Oh, I can't blame you."
He was also mentally prepared for Fifty-Eight's failure.
Chu Liang looked at his calm tone and felt that he could probably get through all this. It is best to maintain the status quo. You can still obtain information from the soul space in the future, and there is no need to give him any benefits.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another message suddenly popped up.
[Sixty]: "I'm near Kaoshan City right now, and I happen to have a precious medicine in my hand that can heal internal injuries caused by Gang Qi. I'll send it to you."
Um?
As soon as these words came out, Chu Liang frowned.
Why does this sentence suddenly appear?
The disciples of the Demon Sect are all on guard against each other. This can be seen from the fact that the last transaction between fifty-nine and sixty was through the Taotie Pavilion. These two people would rather pay high fees than trade offline.
Then why is Sixty not afraid that he will be on guard?
Just after I said that I was seriously injured, he suddenly came out and said he wanted to give me medicine. Who dares to believe you? If you kill me directly while delivering the medicine, the Pluto Sect won’t be surprised at all.
How presumptuous are you?
But Chu Liang did not dare to refuse immediately.
Because since Sixty dares to say this, then maybe... there is indeed some deep friendship between him and Fifty-eight that he doesn't know about?
We can trust each other even when we are hurt.
If you refuse rashly, these people might see a flaw and expose your identity.
How to decline politely?
Really... what I fear the most is the sudden concern from my classmates.
Just as he was pondering, there was new news.
[Sha]: "That's very good. Sixty-year-old, you go and deliver medicine to him, protect him by the way, and take care of his safety. Fifty-eight is injured because he took the Golden Lotus from the Sea of Hell for me. If something goes wrong again, I'll be heartbroken." install."
hiss.
Chu Liang looked at Sha's words and his expression became a little more tense.
This seems like a nice thing to say, but it is actually quite malicious. As a fellow disciple of the Demon Sect, it is impossible for him not to know the current situation. It is definitely safest for him to be alone.
But he still let Sixty come to see him, why?
Two possibilities.
The first type is that you really don’t believe in yourself!
He probably suspected that he had obtained the Underworld Golden Lotus but refused to hand it over, so he intended to facilitate Liu Shi's meeting with him.
In this way, if Sixty takes advantage of his own injury to attack...it doesn't matter whether Sixty kills Fifty-eight, or Fifty-eight kills Sixty.
As an evil envoy, he had a reason to take action legitimately and clean up the remaining one. In this way, the possible existence of the Underworld Golden Lotus will definitely come into his hands.
If two of his subordinates died in exchange for the Underworld Golden Lotus that would allow him to be promoted, then he probably wouldn't even blink an eye.
Although Chu Liang didn't dare to confirm, from Sha's point of view, he probably thought so.
The second is that sixty and fifty-eight are indeed closely related.
Sha felt that Fifty-Eight was really safe with his protection.
But this shows that in this soul realm space, from top to bottom, we are all good friends with deep feelings.
Chu Liang felt that it was unlikely. It was strange that these people from the Pluto Sect had consciences.
He is more inclined to the former suspicion of ulterior motives.
In any case, it is always safest to refuse directly.
There is a possibility of death in the light of day... death in a literal sense. Even if you have a strong backing to ensure safety, exposing your identity is not worth the loss.
However, he still needed to think carefully about how to refuse without arousing any suspicion, just when he was hesitating about his words.
Another message popped up in the Soul Realm space.
[Fifty-nine]: "Huh? You guys want to meet, can I go too? Let's get together."
Is this guy coming to join in the fun?
What is this for?
Are you afraid that our small group will isolate you?
However, his nonsensical behavior made Chu Liang relieved, because this interruption made it more reasonable to reject him directly.
【58】: "No way."
[Fifty-nine]: "I am still safe now, and my injuries are almost healed, so there is no need to mobilize troops like this."
…
This group of people all have their own agendas, and Chu Liang can basically guess a thing or two about the evil spirit’s thoughts, and it is not difficult to figure them out; but he can only figure out half of the sixty’s thoughts, and is not sure about the remaining half; as for the fifty-nine’s, Chu Liang couldn't figure out his thoughts at all, and he just felt uncomfortable.
Really brain-burning.
After putting down the soul arrest order, while he was still reviewing his reply to see if there were any flaws, he heard a call from outside.
"Senior Brother Chu?"
"Um?"
It was already getting late at this time. Who would come to find me at this time?
Chu Liang opened the door and went out to take a look.
I found a slightly shy male disciple outside, fair and delicate, with a strong bookish air.
Wen Yulong.
Chu Liang's eyes lit up when he thought of his name. The deacon disciple of Chuanjian Hall came over for probably only one thing.
Shipped? !
