Chapter 53 -53 The Forbidden Land_1

No one in the gambling house could feel Gao Jin’s curse on Chu Liang.

As a righteous person who is incompatible with gambling, the gambling house, which had led countless families to ruin, was his ideal choice for making money.

After Chu Liang had returned the fattened Money Gu to Second Lady Gu and informed Yun Chaoxian, it was already early evening.

Yun Chaoxian was quite surprised to see Chu Liang really bring back news.

“Wangshan Tower? The Demon Race Divine Envoy is there?”

“Most likely, I can’t say for sure,” Chu Liang replied.

Yun Chaoxian had been at a loss when the Heavenly Soundwave had failed. He was ready to accept failure but did not expect Chu Liang to find a clue through reasoning and investigation.

“Brother Chu, I have always been proud of my intelligence, but today I have to admit that your mind is indeed superior to mine,” he said earnestly.

Looking at his sincere and bright eyes, Chu Liang didn’t know whether to feel sad or happy.

After a pause, he said, “This is only the Evil Witch’s base in Kaoshan City, and it’s not certain if the Demon Race Divine Envoy is there. Let’s check it out first.”

“Good.” Yun Chaoxian suddenly stood up, took his Large Halberd, and said, “The Southern Region Evil Witch is treacherous and ruthless, harming many people. Even if it has nothing to do with the Demonic Clan, we should eradicate it!”

Chu Liang nodded in agreement. This man’s sense of justice was indeed admirable.

Or maybe this person… aside from intelligence, everything else about him seemed pretty good.

The two set off immediately, with Yun Chaoxian leading the way.

The city had been tightly sealed recently, and there were few people on the street.

Wangshan Tower, in name, was also a place for merchants to trade medicine, but it had already closed down due to recent turmoil.

In the quiet of the night.

“Don’t act rashly yet, so as not to startle the snake in the grass. I’ll go up and investigate first, and if there’s trouble, I’ll call you for backup,” said Chu Liang.

Chu Liang instructed, then leapt onto the second-floor terrace.

Actually, the task of scouting should have been done by Yun Chaoxian, who had better physical skills, but… nevermind.

The terrace was quite spacious and empty. He carefully spread his Divine Sense ahead of him, keeping it within about three meters’ of his body, and slowly approached the wall. After his previous encounter with the Soul Envoy, he didn’t send his Divine Sense out too far but instead made sure one area was clear before moving on.

On the other side of the wall, it seemed to be a large empty room. Chu Liang was about to turn back and call Yun Chaoxian when his vision suddenly blurred.

Dizziness.

Mental attack?

Retaining a second of clarity in his mind, he bit his tongue urgently and jumped back.

Bang——

A huge, nine-foot-tall skull emerged from where he had just been standing! Its mouth opened wide, snapping at empty air.

Looking ahead, there was an oddly dressed figure in black. He raised his hand, and the large skull shrank into a small one, falling into his palm.

There were more than one black-clad figures. Another came from the left. He drew a small knife, first cutting his own arm to cover the blade with blood, then threw it at Chu Liang.

Woosh——

The flying knife cut through the wind as Chu Liang dodged. However, the knife curved in mid-air as if it had eyes, stabbing towards him.

Chu Liang raised his hand to summon the Flying Sword. The Hundred Swords Technique was deployed in an instant, forming a sword shield that shattered the flying knife into pieces. Only then did he evade the attack.

“Step back,” an old voice came from somewhere.

Looking back at the two eerie figures, they suddenly vanished as if they had never been there.

Evil Witch.

This inherently eerie name rose in his mind.

…

Chu Liang glanced downstairs. Yun Chaoxian hadn’t followed him. Without a doubt, he must have encountered an enemy.

It seemed that the security of Wangshan Tower was very tight, and they had been discovered the moment they intruded.

Soon after.

An old man wearing black, with a small and hunched body, slowly walked onto the terrace.

“Hehe, young man…” the old man’s steps were slow, but steady and assured, “The Demon Race Divine Envoy has mentioned you, he said you killed the Fifth Stage Tiger King with one powerful Ten Thousand Swords Technique. You must be a genius from one of the Immortal Sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.”

Chu Liang watched him silently, not responding.

The scene of him killing the Tiger King that day had surely been witnessed by some small demons, it was not surprising that it had been spread around.

But if the opponent was treating him as one of those top-level experts and had prepared a corresponding formation to deal with him, that would be a bit unjust.

Chu looked around, contemplating his escape route.

So far, his heart remained calm… always prepared, he could always summon his beloved Master if necessary.

“I’m just a modest Black Witch of the Fourth Realm…” the old man continued to speak.

Upon hearing his words, Chu Liang silently scoffed.

You’re being too modest.

I’m just a lowly cultivator of the Third Realm.

“But if I dare to confront you, naturally, I have some confidence.” The old man laughed again.

Then he gently raised his hand, slicing open his left index finger, writing two characters in the air, as if he was praying.

Whoosh—

A wind suddenly blew around him.

It was as if he was cut off from the world.

“In my life, I’ve killed many cultivators more advanced than me with this spell. You won’t die in vain if you fall here.” The old man’s voice suddenly became shrill.

“The Forbidden Land!”

Boom!

The surrounding air suddenly became heavy.

Chu Liang felt his breathing become difficult.

The Forbidden Land…

This was a renowned witchcraft, said to be not inferior to Immortal Law within its range. The effect is, it delineates a sacred place forbidden to all Divine Skills and Magic Artifacts.

“How does it feel? Can’t you use any Divine Skills?” The old man queried while walking closer.

Chu Liang tried to mobilize his True Qi, but his Divine Thoughts dissipated as soon as they left his body.

“Indeed.” It was the first time he responded to the old man.

“Even if you are a prodigious cultivator, in the Forbidden Land, you’ll be rendered helpless, reduced to an ordinary person.” The old man’s tone gradually became triumphant, “That’s why I chose to confront you instead of that vulgar martial artist.”

“You may be superior to him, but unfortunately for you, you are a frail cultivator.” The old man mocked.

“Feeble?” Chu Liang glanced at himself.

Indeed, his figure was a bit thin, appearing like a rather slim young man.

But…

“And we Black Witches, grow up fighting with tigers and leopards since a young age! Running through rugged mountains! Even the ordinary martial artists are no match for us!”

With that said, the old man let out a shout, removed his black robe revealing his light clothing and two short blades in his hands.

Unexpectedly, at his age, his muscular structure was quite impressive. Before, it couldn’t be discerned under his black robe.

Then, four more men in black appeared from the four corners of the platform, who were previously dismissed by the old man. They had their weapons drawn, surrounding Chu Liang from all sides, obviously afraid he might escape.

The Forbidden Land prohibits all forms of magic.

Their witchcraft was also restricted, so they all prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

Perhaps, it wasn’t their first time cornering a powerful figure in the Forbidden Land.

The old man looked at Chu Liang and felt that something was amiss.

This slender young man, suddenly deprived of his most relied upon Divine Skills, showed no fear, but rather looked as if he was… making fun of them?

He seemed to have a smile on his face.

Heh, still trying to pretend to be calm.

The old man sneered, shouting: “Kill him!”

Boom! He stepped forward, lunging like a tiger or a leopard, showing off his agility!

Then…

The Chu Liang in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Huh?

The old man from the Witch Clan was confused for a moment, and then he felt a severe pain in the back of his head.

It hurt, it hurt so much…

A pain he had never felt before in his life.

It seemed like… the pain of death.
