Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 154

Chapter 154: The Token is Acquired! Devoid of Conscience!

In the main hall of the Green Robe Gang headquarters.

Chu Liang made a public vow, a very strict vow.

“Alright, I’ve done what I was supposed to do. Now it’s your turn,” Chu Liang said, looking at Xu Long.

“Young Hero Chu is truly a model martial artist of our county town, truly worthy of the ‘Liang’ in his name, meaning ‘good’!”

Xu Long forced a smile and reluctantly praised him.

With this vow in place, his life was safe. His life would continue as usual, and he would still be the leader of the Green Robe Gang. He just needed to instruct his subordinates not to provoke Chu Liang or his relatives and friends.

As for the opportunity…

As long as he was alive, there would always be opportunities.

Xu Long suppressed the pain in his heart and consoled himself in this way.

He said to Chu Liang, “Young Hero Chu, the token you want is right here in the Green Robe Gang headquarters.”

“Oh? Where is it?” Chu Liang was slightly surprised. Before this, the two little rats had searched the entire headquarters but couldn’t find the token.

“In my bedroom.”

Xu Long explained, “That token is too important. I was always worried, so I had someone bring some gold, melt it, and then throw the token in, casting it into a whole gold brick. It’s in the hidden treasure chamber in my bedroom.”

“Hidden in a gold brick?”

Chu Liang suddenly understood. No wonder the two little rats couldn’t find it.

Rat One and Rat Two had already visited the treasure room Xu Long mentioned.

They could sense that there were treasures inside, but after searching around, they found that they were all ordinary gold and silver, not the token Chu Liang wanted, so they went elsewhere to search.

The two little rats could never have imagined Xu Long’s hiding skills.

In the corner, Rat One secretly transmitted to Rat Two, “Rat Two, humans are really cunning!”

“Yes, even I was fooled,” Rat Two replied.

The two little rats were a little annoyed.

They couldn’t even handle such a simple matter.

If they had known the location of the token earlier, Chu Liang wouldn’t have needed to make a vow. He could have just charged into the hall with his long saber, killed everyone, and then left!

Xu Long continued, “Young Hero Chu, I would never lie to you. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to the treasure room right now.”

“No need, just wait here,”

Chu Liang shook his head, making everyone wait, and he himself was also waiting.

The others in the hall couldn’t help but wonder.

Waiting for what?

Xu Long and the External Affairs Hall Master were the first to react. Their faces changed slightly, and they both realized at the same time ━ Chu Liang had a companion!

That companion was hiding in the dark, listening to their conversation the whole time, but none of them had noticed.

At this moment, that person must have already gone to the treasure room in the back.

They were right.

Rat Two had Rat One stay here while he went to the treasure room. He found a rough-looking gold brick without any effort.

“This is it!”

He rubbed his two little paws together, picked up the gold brick, stood up, turned into a golden blur, and ran out of the treasure room at high speed.

In a short while, Rat Two arrived on the wooden beam above the hall and simply let go of his little paws.

Whoosh!

The gold brick fell and crashed heavily onto the wooden floor of the hall.

“Thump!”

The sound came so suddenly that it startled many of the Green Robe Gang’s core members in the hall.

They fixed their eyes on it and saw the appearance of the gold brick. They couldn’t help but be surprised, and then they all raised their heads to look at the beam above.

But there was no one on the beam, not even a ghost.

Who sent this gold brick?

“Such strong movement techniques, coming and going without a trace, even I didn’t see him. Who exactly is Chu Liang’s companion?” Xu Long was shocked. He had looked up the moment the gold brick fell, but he still didn’t see anything.

In his memory, there was no such expert in the county town.

Could it be a special person secretly cultivated by the Qin Family?

◈◈◈

Everyone was surprised and suspicious.

Chu Liang bent down and picked up the gold brick. He exerted a little force and broke it. Inside the gold brick was a gray stone token.

“This is the token?”

Chu Liang’s heart stirred, and he took it out.

According to the imprisoned Green Robe Gang Vice Gang Leader, Wang Yu, this token was extremely strong, and no matter what method was used, it could not be destroyed. Therefore, he placed it on his chest as a protective treasure to guard his heart.

“Let me try.”

Chu Liang grabbed the token, mobilized his Qi and blood, and squeezed hard. The veins on the back of his hand immediately bulged.

He even slightly activated the Blood Explosion Technique, greatly increasing his strength, but the token in his hand didn’t change at all. It was incredibly strong.

If it were an ordinary stone, it would have been crushed into powder long ago!

Xu Long spoke, “Young Hero Chu, this token cannot be broken. At least, we martial artists of the Blood Coagulation Realm cannot do it. Perhaps a Skin Tempering Realm expert could.”

“Hmm.”

Chu Liang nodded slightly, calmed his Qi and blood, and withdrew his strength.

He stared at the stone token and looked at it carefully for a moment. A prompt from the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror appeared before his eyes.

【Hundred Beasts Stone: A stone refined from the blood of a hundred beasts using a secret method. It is one of the materials for cultivating the “Beast Control Secret Art.”】

【Evolvable】

【Offering thirty jin of mid-rank demon beast flesh and blood can evolve the “Hundred Beasts Stone” into the “Thousand Beasts Stone.”】

Seeing this prompt, Chu Liang frowned slightly.

Hundred Beasts Stone?

He had seen this thing in the books of the Martial Alliance Library. It was a treasure possessed by Hundred Beasts Valley.

Hundred Beasts Valley had a high reputation in the martial world and was a top-tier power on par with the great millennial clans.

Chu Liang had a deep impression of this sect. A hundred years ago, when the Blood Demon appeared, the then-leader of Hundred Beasts Valley led seven elders to intercept the Blood Demon, and they all died in the end.

“This token is actually made of Hundred Beasts Stone. Could it be that the treasure behind the stone gate is related to Hundred Beasts Valley?” Chu Liang wondered to himself. Hundred Beasts Valley was far away in the south, in Jiaozhou, a great distance from here.

How could there be a treasure of Hundred Beasts Valley here?

He shook his head, cast aside all kinds of complicated thoughts, and stopped thinking too much. He put the token away first.

All doubts would be answered once the stone gate was opened.

Both little rats sensed a great treasure behind the stone gate through their talent, which made Chu Liang quite expectant.

Seeing Chu Liang put away the token, Xu Long forced a smile and said to him, “Young Hero Chu, I have also fulfilled my promise. So, this matter is considered over, right?”

“No, there’s one more thing,” Chu Liang replied.

“What else is there?”

“Your heads.”

“What?”

Xu Long’s face changed drastically. He sensed something was wrong, and his Qi and blood erupted as he tried to distance himself from Chu Liang.

But it was too late!

A cold gleam appeared, and the long saber flashed. The icy blade instantly sliced through Xu Long’s neck.

Xu Long’s eyes widened, and he stared at Chu Liang, trembling, “Chu Liang, you… you made a vow…”

Chu Liang said indifferently, “I always go back on my word.”

“You… aren’t you afraid of retribution?” Xu Long’s face was pale, and he couldn’t believe it. How could Chu Liang, as a martial artist, dare to break an oath?

Even someone like him didn’t dare to easily break an oath for fear of suffering the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

In the hall, the expressions of all the Green Robe Gang’s core members changed.

Chu Liang even dared to break an oath to the Heavenly Dao. His “Liang” was not “goodness” at all.

It was utterly devoid of conscience!
