One Ma Liang Equals Fifty-Nine Chu Xinghes!

Night Owl has had its share of failures in the past.

The enemy was too strong... We were ambushed... We even made personal mistakes, but Night Owl has never been so speechless as this time!

Night Owl knew that even without the cult leader's previous orders, he would definitely kill Black Sha Fiend!

Because given this guy's big mouth, if he were to return to the Moon Shadow Cult alive, by the very next day at the latest, the entire Moon Shadow Cult, and even the entire Great Chang Kingdom, would know what Night Owl had done...

Those who know better will think this is a misunderstanding, but those who don't might think I, Night Owl, like to secretly film some strange things!

Therefore, Night Owl declared that Black Sha must die!

Once the mission is complete, the first thing I, Night Owl, will do is take down Black Sha!

Black Sha didn't know what Night Owl was thinking, but Black Sha wondered what it all meant. What were they waiting for at Huiming Mountain?

But Black Sha quickly realized what he was waiting for!

Because Huiming Mountain is the only way to the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom, it seems that Lord Night Owl had planned all of this in advance... to wait here to kill Yue Ling.

Since we can't go back to Gathering Fire City now, it's a pretty good idea to stake out Huiming Mountain in advance and wait for the prey to come to us!

Black Sha remarked that Lord Night Owl's calculations were indeed flawless!

Whether Night Owl's strategy was flawless is unknown, Gathering Fire City...

What exactly happened in Gathering Fire City that night is the subject of much discussion. Some say it's the first time they've ever seen Zhao Qi so furious...

Some say it must have been the Moon Shadow Cult that stole the Gathering Fire Sect's treasure...

In any case, all sorts of rumors keep popping up...

However, what people in Gathering Fire City were saying was no longer relevant to the Yue Ling trio.

The three have now left Gathering Fire City and are continuing their northward journey towards the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom!

However, before leaving, Chu Xinghe tried registering at another registration point, but the final result was... rejection...

Chu Xinghe n't know what Ma Liang and Yue Ling were feeling when they left Gathering Fire City, but he certainly left cursing.

"Chu Xinghe... what was your real name?" Yue Ling removed the black cloth from her head, revealing an extremely beautiful face!

Good heavens, Ma Liang's eyes widened at the sight of Yue Ling!

What the heck? You're saying Ma Liang has never seen a beautiful woman?

Friend... you're looking down on me, Ma Liang, aren't you...? Our Vast Heaven Holy Land lacks everything, except for beautiful women!

Every woman in our Vast Heaven Holy Land is stunningly beautiful...

The problem is, none of them are my Ma Liang... so I had no chance to make a move...

Seeing Ma Liang's excited expression, Chu Xinghe said, "My name is Chu Xinghe! You might not believe it, but I am actually Chu Xinghe from the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

Yue Ling: "Although we don't look alike, I can still immerse myself in the character. Keep it up, I believe in you!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

"You asked me a question, so Yue Ling, it's my turn to ask you one. Are you really a fan of Ma Liang?" Chu Xinghe said.

Ma Liang pricked up his ears...

"Of course! From the first time I saw Ma Liang's appearance in the Haotian Mirror, I became a fan of Lord Ma Liang. Everyone says there are countless extraordinary people in the world, but in my eyes, only Lord Ma Liang deserves the title of extraordinary person."

"He risked everything for his elder sister! Leaving his Lineage, he became known throughout the land! Many people say that Ma Liang is ugly, but I think a person's ugliness or beauty shouldn't be determined by their appearance, right?"

How many handsome men are there in this world, but do their actions truly deserve the title of "man"?

"Many people may think Ma Liang is ugly, but in my heart, Yue Ling, he is the most handsome man in the world!"

Goodness, Yue Ling's words left Chu Xinghe speechless... while Ma Liang over there stood tall and proud...

Yue Ling laughed and said, "Moreover, Lord Ma Liang has another advantage: as a man, he certainly wouldn't go out and philander, right!"

Yue Ling's laughter is very pleasant, and Yue Ling personality is also very good; she's outspoken and says whatever comes to mind.

And look at Ma Liang over there... what the hell is with that shy look on your face?

And is it really a nice thing for people to say they don't need to worry about you going out and having affairs?

Having ended that topic, the three continued planning their route!

"Continuing north from Gathering Fire City, you'll reach Huiming Mountain, the location of the Huiming Sect!" Yue Ling said, pointing to Huiming Mountain on the map.

"I know the Huiming Sect, it seems to be a small sect!" Ma Liang chimed in from the side.

But upon hearing Ma Liang's words, Yue Ling couldn't help but laugh, "A small sect? The way you talk is really like the real Lord Ma Liang... Huiming Sect is the number one sect in our Great Liang Kingdom, and its sect leader, High Person Huiming, is even at the Half-Step Martial God realm. There are more than five Ninth Rank experts in the Huiming Sect alone. How can this be considered a small sect!"

"Furthermore, High Person Huiming's eldest son is about to marry the daughter of the Falling Wind Sect's leader. Although the Falling Wind Sect is not in the Great Liang Kingdom, it is one of the top sects there. Now that the two families are united by marriage, the strength of the Huiming Sect will increase significantly!"

"Furthermore, I heard that even the Vast Heaven Holy Land sent congratulatory gifts for this joyous occasion of the Huiming Sect!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Wait... Chu Xinghe thought, is this Huiming Sect really that powerful? Even our Vast Heaven Holy Land has to send them congratulatory gifts?

Why have I never heard of this Huiming Sect?

Regarding this question, Ma Liang transmitted his voice, saying, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you seem to have a bad memory. Wasn't it you who personally established the rule that gifts must be sent to the lower sects for weddings and funerals?"

"Back then, everyone said they'd never heard of a superior sect giving gifts to a subordinate sect... In response, Senior Brother Xinghe even said that superior sects should fully respect subordinate sects, instead of treating them as tools to leech off!"

"Since that time, whenever any of the Vast Heaven Holy Land's underground sects have a wedding or funeral, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will always send a generous gift!"

In response, Ma Liang said that at the time, everyone thought that Senior Brother Xinghe's idea seemed like a waste of resources.

But as it turns out, we were wrong again...

Since the Vast Heaven Holy Land established this rule, all the sects that received generous gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land have been extremely grateful!

What is the most important thing in a person's life?

It all boils down to fame and fortune!

The Vast Heaven Holy Land's generous gift is a real saving grace for all the lower sects!

There is joyous occasion in your family! The Vast Heaven Holy Land sends congratulatory gifts to wish you a happy new year!

In the face of a family bereavement, the Vast Heaven Holy Land has sent generous gifts. Please accept our deepest condolences!

The lavish gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land are always displayed in the most prominent position by each sect... What an honor it is to receive congratulatory gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Therefore, since this mechanism was established, those lower sects that received gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land have become more respectful, and the annual offerings they give have increased.

In the past, when various sects offered sacrifices to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they would always find all sorts of reasons to conceal some things...

But now that the Vast Heaven Holy Land has given you ample face in every way, who would dare to conceal anything? The Vast Heaven Holy Land has already shown you enough respect. If you still don't understand under these circumstances, do you really think the Vast Heaven Holy Land won't punish you?

Therefore, when the Vast Heaven Holy Land presents a generous gift, it often receives multiple gifts in return. Although the lower sects submit even more offerings, they also gain fame and benefit from the gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, which is more conducive to the development of their sects!

Ma Liang exclaimed, "Senior Brother Xinghe, your move has truly impressed everyone in the lower sects!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

How can you get stabbed like that when you're out and about?

Or is it a hidden model?

Is this even reasonable?

I, Chu Xinghe, wasn't even in the Vast Heaven Holy Land; I'd already hidden myself away... How could I possibly get stabbed under these circumstances?

So now even sending gifts to lower sects is forbidden?

Is it really possible to make a killing by giving gifts these days? Is that even fair?

Chu Xinghe said, "If that's how it is, then I'll go back and stop all this gift-giving nonsense..."

But then I thought again, that wouldn't be right. If we suddenly stopped, wouldn't the lower sects think they had incurred the wrath of the Vast Heaven Holy Land? What if they gave even more offerings?

Helpless, Chu Xinghe could only resign himself to whatever fate had in store.

However, Chu Xinghe had never really heard of this Huiming Sect.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of Senior Brother Xinghe. Huiming Sect is just a small sect. Even within the territory of our Vast Heaven Holy Land, the Great Liang Kingdom isn't considered a superpower. Moreover, although Huiming Sect is the number one sect in the Great Liang Kingdom, it's nothing in the entire Blazing Sun Continent, let alone in the entire Four Continents."

"However, the Huiming Sect still possesses some strength. With the merger of the Four Continents, several members of their family with decent talent have also broken through!"

"Should we go to the Huiming Sect to join in the fun? I heard Huiming Sect having a wedding there. If we go, we can have a feast and stay overnight!" Yue Ling suggested from the side.

"Young Miss, have you considered that you are being chased?" Chu Xinghe looked at Yue Ling beside him speechlessly.

"Chu Xinghe, have you considered that I don't have a single spirit stone left... If you're not going to freeload, at least give me some of the money back! Last time in Gathering Fire City, Lord Ma Liang must have spent a fortune. You're shameless enough to freeload off Ma Liang, but I'm not that shameless!"

Chu Xinghe: "What the hell..."

"Yue Ling... have you considered that I only received five spirit stones, and returning three of them seems a bit excessive?"

"What's so excessive? I asked around in Gathering Fire City, and the usual price for hiring Chu Xinghe is two spirit stones. Other Chu Xinghes say that your version of Chu Xinghe is too unrecognizable, and one spirit stone would be enough for someone so unrecognizable... I've already given you five spirit stones."

Chu Xinghe: "..."

Chu Xinghe remained silent, his expression indifferent, as he held the five spirit stones.

Ma Liang laughed so hard he almost choked on his own tears...

Seeing Ma Liang laughing so hard he almost peed his pants, Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed himself...

Are you kidding me, Ma Liang? Two hundred and ninety-five spirit stones? Does that sound expensive?

But think about it carefully, 295 spirit stones... isn't that equivalent to the hiring price of 59 times my Chu Xinghe?

So, when you calculate it like that... Ma Liang seems pretty expensive...

The three chatted and laughed as they headed towards the Huiming Sect on Huiming Mountain...
