Chapter 459: Zhuge Ruolan sees Chen Chuyang, startled

It's about to start fighting, this is just right.

It's better if chaos erupts; best if they all die here, these high-quality souls will all be mine.

Zhuge Ruolan stared at the souls of those strong ones, drooling.

These souls, each one is enough to match the total of tens of thousands of mortals; the batch previously absorbed in Baihu Cheng pales in comparison to the soul of a single Golden Core-level strong one here; if these people all die, those souls being devoured by her Myriad Ghost Banner will completely advance to become a true Myriad Ghost Banner.

Her strength will also increase accordingly.

The Yin Gui Sect's cultivation method requires ghostly and yin qi; to them, the souls of the dead will be a tonic.

Especially those souls heavy with resentment, they are the most precious; the higher the cultivation, the higher the soul quality—this cannot be matched by quantity. She has set her sights on many strong ones' souls, unfortunately, she has no chance to collect them.

This time, she ventured to Wangdu just to make a go of it.

"It would be best if the Shadow Grand Elder also gets dragged in; best if he dies here."

Zhuge Ruolan stared at the battlefield, waiting for the Shadow Grand Elder to act, so she could find her older brother's whereabouts and rescue him.

Her purpose this time, besides these people's souls, also includes rescuing her older brother.

This is her main purpose; her older brother is her heart's knot, the Zhuge family—only she and her older brother remain.

She has been searching for her older brother's traces for many years; finally she found a clue, cannot miss it now; Zhuge Ruolan vows to definitely rescue her older brother—back then, her older brother was captured while trying to save her, and thus disappeared.

Over these many years, she has received no news of her older brother, as if he were dead; Zhuge Ruolan knows he is still alive, he did not die, she has always firmly believed this.

"The Yin Killer Holy Son is also watching; what is his purpose?"

Zhuge Ruolan stared in a direction; the appearance of the Yin Killer Holy Son made her ponder his purpose—could this person have come for the Grand Elder? Or is there another motive?

"Could he have come for the royal bloodline of the Qi family?"

"Or could it be for something else?"

Unable to figure it out, Zhuge Ruolan decides not to think about the Yin Killer Holy Son; this person is very dangerous, but for now there is no conflict of interest with her.

Zhuge Ruolan felt something in her heart; for some reason, as if guided by ghosts, she glanced at a place she had overlooked.

She glanced and saw nothing; when she was about to dismiss it, her heart jolted, she lifted her head again and looked toward that direction, her pupils constricted, her eyes turned black, and a wisp of ghostly qi rose from her body.

In her eyes, she saw nothing, empty as can be.

"No, there is something there; my intuition tells me I won't be mistaken."

She looked again, staring for a long time, still got nothing.

Zhuge Ruolan frowned; the disbelieving her sneaked over.

Just as she stepped into that place, it felt like entering another realm, a familiar sensation, a dizzy sensation.

After passing through, she saw a familiar face.

The moment she saw that face, Zhuge Ruolan's pupils widened, her body recoiled backward, yet she realized she was sealed by a formation, unable to leave or escape.

"Gurgle."

"You… you… you…"

Pointing at the person before her, Zhuge Ruolan regretted; she shouldn't have been curious, and even less should she have come over.

She angrily cursed herself inwardly: "Zhuge Ruolan, you are really a big idiot."

Wanting to leave, not likely; having seen this person, Zhuge Ruolan's heart felt only bitterness.

Even a smile could not be forced.

She clasped her hands, bowed, and performed a salute.

"I have seen… Chen Chuyang."

She wanted to call him senior, but realized he was about the same as her.

She thought of calling him fellow cultivator, but felt she lacked the qualification.

She could only call him by name directly.

Chen Chuyang reached out his hand.

This motion, practiced countless times, was so natural, so smooth.

Zhuge Ruolan's face turned black; she shook her head, shaking it repeatedly.

Her head shook like a rattle drum; unwilling to give, she clutched her waist's storage bag, having painstakingly accumulated a few treasures, now they must be emptied.

"Zhuge Ruolan, you need to be more sensible."

"The tribute you owe me cannot be lacking; how? After not seeing each other for so long, have you forgotten the rules?"

Zhuge Ruolan gritted her teeth and said: "I want medicinal pills."

This was the first time she dared to speak like that; after saying this, Zhuge Ruolan's body trembled uncontrollably.

She was very afraid, very flustered, yet she still had to say it.

Chen Chuyang pointed at her waist and said: "Bring it over first, then we'll talk; whether it can be exchanged for medicinal pills is up to me."

"I…"

In the end, Zhuge Ruolan still relented.

She personally removed the storage bag and handed it to Chen Chuyang.

She was reluctant, but she had no choice; unconsciously handing it over, yet if she were to be beaten, being hung up and thrashed would be bad.

Chen Chuyang can do anything; he likes people who are a bit obedient.

Not the rebellious type who refuses to hand over; hum, they are likely to be eradicated.

Chen Chuyang opened it, glanced, and said satisfied: "Not bad; these days you haven't been lazy."

"Here, have a medicinal pill."

This woman is good at collecting treasures, a wealth-bringing child; cannot cut off her future, Chen Chuyang reluctantly gave her a medicinal pill, counting it as encouragement and also to motivate her to help him gather various treasures in the future.

Third-grade Dragon Blood Pill, one medicinal pill.

Zhuge Ruolan's eyes widened, her breathing became rapid.

They immediately took the medicine, put it away, and a smile appeared on their face.

"Do you still want more treasures?"

"Oh?" Chen Chuyang became interested.

Zhuge Ruolan laughed and said: "I found the Qi Family's treasury."

Chen Chuyang was very interested, praising: "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain, but the treasury is protected by a formation, and there is a strong one guarding it; I cannot get close, nor can I break through the formation to enter, therefore."

She can't, but Chen Chuyang can.

This person is extremely skilled in the way of formations; to him, those formations are nothing.

By then, if I follow along, I might even get a share of the treasures.

"You did well."

Chen Chuyang again praised and said: "If it's true, there will be generous rewards."

Zhuge Ruolan had been waiting for these words; although Chen Chuyang is hateful in other aspects, his reputation is still flawless, and he never goes back on his word regarding what he promises and what he does.

"Absolutely true." Zhuge Ruolan also said: "Besides the exposure, the Grand Elder of the Yin Gui Sect has also come here; he has many treasures on his person, and if we can capture him, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Chen Chuyang raised his eyebrows, staring deeply at Zhuge Ruolan.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ruolan hurriedly bowed and said: "The Shadow Grand Elder has lived many years, controlling the vast majority of the Yin Gui Sect's wealth; his wealth is many times greater than that of the sect leader."

"Besides that, I also have a little ulterior motive."

She dare not use Chen Chuyang, nor dare to conceal anything, and reports truthfully.

"My elder brother is being controlled and imprisoned by the Grand Elder; therefore, I want you to help me out, and if we succeed, I am willing to pay any price."
