A few days later, Chu Liang received a gift from the Purple Gold Marquis.
This heavenly material and earthly treasure was a promise made long ago, as a reward for them infiltrating the White Bone Hall. However, it was delivered quite late, which seemed a little calculating.
The reason was simple. At that time, the Eastern Guide must have known that the Underworld King Sect would attack Shu Mountain soon, and the three infiltrators were very likely to die in this battle.
If they were to die, delaying the delivery would mean this treasure could be retained.
Given the status of the Purple Gold Marquis, he certainly wouldn't care about such things, but the Eastern Guide would still play such petty tricks. However, after the battle of Shu Mountain ended, more than half of the disciples from the Underworld King Sect who went there died, and surprisingly, all three infiltrators were unharmed.
