Chapter 10 The Past (3)
Lyu Liang was stunned to speak, and he admired greatly towards the master he had yet to meet! At the same time, the blood of Xuanli in his bones was filling him with extreme anger! Yishui Clan! Blood Divine Sect! Anye Clan! Tianluo Clan! No matter what strength you all had, by the time when I, Lyu Liang reached the peak, it was the extermination of your clans!
“After that, I stayed in this Cenotaph. Mengdao once said that the way to restore the body, was in the Sunset Kingdom of the Ghost Realm, as long as he could bring it back, even if I were only left one with remnant soul, he was sure that he could recover me to the original state.” After a moment of confusion, Xuanli Feiwu had restored the clarity and sharpness in her eyes. “As for your mother’s business, Black knew it better than me, let it continue.”
Black, which was another body of Xuanli Feiwu, came to Lyu Liang at this time. “I only knew apart of the happenings, I hope that can help you to find the whereabouts of your mother.
“Like what Feiwu had said, when the catastrophe came, it was the stage of my deep sleep. When I woke up after a hundred years, the first I found out was that the life-bonded contract had lost efficacy. When I hurried to the Devil Realm, everything was completely different. The Xuanli Clan was nowhere to be seen. Instead, they were replaced by the four new clans in the Devil Realm: Anye Clan, Tianluo Clan, Huoxiao Clan, and Muxiao Clan.
“I went through many inquiries at a number of places, and then to find out what happened on that day. On that day, the Anye and the Tianluo Clans invaded the Xuanli Clan. Most of the Xuanli people were killed, and a small part of them escaped. The fugitives have been scattered in various realms, but they were either hidden or unknown of whereabouts.
“Because I had a life-bonded connection with the Feiwu before, although I couldn’t feel her whereabouts, I could be sure that her soul was still alive. I wanted to go to her, but before that, I needed to go to a place, to find a peer of the same kind.
“The kind I was looking for, was in the Mortal Realm, it was also a chaotic divine beast, Prediction Beast. Its racial talent is to avoid the good and the bad, predicting the past and the future. It is different from me, it does not like to be with other living beings, and has been in seclusion. That year, our Ten Divine Beasts of Chaos were born together, and we called each other as brothers. Before dispersing, we agreed that we could help each other once. I went to find it, but also to ask about the whereabouts of Feiwu.
“But it hid itself so well. Just of finding it took me nearly 10,000 years! Finally, I found it in a strange space crack in the Demon Realm. And it seemed to know the purpose of my coming. At that time, he only said one sentence, “In the Mortal Realm, you will meet the second master of the Xuanli Clan, and it is then not far from finding your first master.
“The Mortal Realm is too big. Fortunately, I am a sacred beast of the Xuanli Clan. Even if it is hidden as deep as possible, I could still vaguely sense the existence of Xuanli bloodline.
“I have crossed several territories. Finally, a hundred years later, I discovered the bloodline of the Xuanli Clan in a small country in the Wufang Territory of the Mortal Realm. The country was too small, and I couldn’t remember the name. But I could remember the place where I found the bloodline, it seemed to be called Qingluo Town.
“There, I found a girl, although her appearance was no different from the Human Clan, I was sure that she was from Xuanli Clan. Sure enough, under my deliberate arrangement, we met, from the shocking look in her eyes I affirmed my judgment. I also told her everything I knew without reservation. Finally, she would recognize me, she was one of the Xuanli Clan who escaped from the Devil Realm, Xuanli Tianlie’s granddaughter—Xuanli Yue.
“Soon, I became her contracted beast. At that time, Xuanli Yue, because of the long-term insufficient nourishment by Devil Qi, her strength only stayed at the beginning of the Original Devil stage. Because she also learned the top-grade mantra of the Xuanli Clan, Devil Reshaping Technique, she could hide her Devil Clan’s aura in the normal days, just like a mortal. After that, we left Qingluo Town and began to travel around.”
“In this process, with the True Devil Qi that I have provided for her, her strength has also advanced by leaps and bounds. After another two hundred years, she had already touched the threshold of the Middle-stage of Devil Warrior, but she also encountered a bottleneck that could not be broken. “Later, I heard that there was an Immortal Devil relic in the Wufang Territory of Sishui Country, which attracted cultivators all over to world to compete and find opportunities. We realized that this might be an opportunity for the breakthrough.
“The place where the relic was located was called the Breeze Valley. Just as the people have said, there were countless cultivators gathering there. Because of our special identities, Little Yue did not think about finding someone to form a team and directly rushed in herself. The law of jungle was vividly reflected here in the cultivation world, everyone trying to outwit one another. The only thing we could do was to be vigilant, and to be careful and avoided any mishaps.
“Even like this, we still encountered trouble. One day, we found a Spirit Grass, which was the Red Body-refining Fruit that could enhance the strength of the devil body. Just when we went to pick it, there appeared three cultivators in black robes. What they wanted did not seem to be the Red Body-refining Fruit, but to make Xuanli Yue the wife of a Middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Little Yue naturally refused, and the result was a big fight! Among the three men, two of the men who were in the Peak of Gold Core were easy to cope, but the other Middle-staged of Nascent Soul man was hard to defeat, even after Little Yue had stimulated the Shadow-devil Domain. In the nick of time, a young man in a gray robe, who was at Early-stage of Nascent Soul rushed into the fight and used a whip to directly entangled the enemy.
“With less pressure, Little Yue quickly regained control in the fight. After killing one of the men at Peak of Gold Core, the other two men rushed to escape at the sight of adverse situation.
“After that, the gray-robed man proposed to team up with Little Yue. It was like divine providence. Little Yue, who was always indifferent to the strangers, actually agreed his proposal! She said that she had a feeling that he was a good person.
“The fact turned out to be how Little Yue felt. He was like a kind big brother, taking care of Little Yue during the way. Moreover, his strength was strong, and later, we had met a Middle-staged Nascent Soul cultivator. He defeated the cultivator who then fled.
“He and Little Yue had been adventuring together for a year in the ruins. By that time, I had discovered that the original cold eyes of Little Yue were then full of warm affection. Obviously, this man also had feelings for Little Yue. I couldn’t stop it, and I was unable to stop it. I could only sigh, how come my two owners both had a relationship with the Human Clan?”
“Little Yue knew that a man who possessed such a magic treasure and could overcome the challenge beyond his level, could hardly be a mediocre person, but she herself had an identity that could not be easily shown. However, even so, the hearts of the two of them were getting closer and closer, and it could not be stopped. In this way, they stayed in the valley for seven years, and they called each other as ‘big brother’ and ‘little sister.’
“In the past seven years, they had experienced life and death on several occasions, but relying on mutual trust and tacit cooperation between them, they could always save the tide. In this process, even if they had already understood each other’s feelings, no one had broken that layer of window paper because of their identity.
“One day, the gray-robed man suddenly received a message. After he listened to the contents, he spent a whole night in a daze. Little Yue noticed his anomaly. Although she did not ask, instincts told her, maybe, it was the time for separation.
“On the second day, the gray-robed man finally confessed his identity to Little Yue. His name was Lyu Liren, who was a member of the Lyu family in Sishui Country of Wufang Territory and was the next heir of the current Lyu family. Little Yue hesitated because she was not as innocent as she was when she first came to the world. This hundred years of travel had already made her understand the warmth and cold of the world, and she also knew the distribution of powerful forces. And Lyu family of Sishui was one of those forces.
“The Sishui Country was the second largest country in the Wufang Territory, not because of the area, but because of its strength. In Sishui Country, the top forces had four shares, one sect, and three families. This sect was one of the deadly enemies of the Xuanli Clan, Blood Divine Sect! The remaining three families were ranked according to their strengths, namely Lyu family, Yu family, and Qi family. Each family had disciples who were comparable to the number and strength of the big sects.
“After a moment of ideological struggle, Little Yue chose to retreat. She told Lyu Liren her secrets. With her own identity and my existence, she told him without reservation. When she finished everything, she was already in all tears.
“Lyu Liren listened carefully to Little Yue’s narrations, and he was surprisingly calm. “After Little Yue finished, he hugged Little Yue and softly said only one sentence, ‘When I first rescued you, I already knew your identity, my father had told me about the happenings about Xuanli Clan very early. However, I was unable to control myself any longer, and the owner of Lyu family shall be someone else. With you, I have no regrets!’
“After that, they left the remnants of the Breeze Valley and found a hidden town to live in. After everything was settled, Lyu Liren left, he said that he must go back and make things clear and that he would definitely come back. He even made a life-bonded promise.
“A month later, Lyu Liren came back. Looking at the relieved look on his face, Little Yue’s heart knot was completely put down. At the same time, she also knew one thing: Lyu Liren was severely punished by the family for violating the family rules and also expelled from the Lyu family, even his cultivation was mostly abolished. Now, he was only at the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment, and it was impossible for him to condense the Gold Core in the future.
“On the same day, the two became husband and wife. In this way, they began a seclusion life like a mortal. After another fifteen years, Little Yue gave birth to a boy named Lyu Liang, which is now you.
“The time when you were born was the happiest time of the family. But soon, the problem came, your Devil Qi was getting stronger and stronger. In the beginning, relying on the Foundation Establishment strength of your father, it could be merely suppressed, but after you were one month old, he could no longer suppress it. The worst part was that you were overflowing with the pure Devil Qi of Xuanli Clan.
“There were hundreds of races in the Devil Realm, the aura of the Devil Soul were not the same. One could cover up the special aura until he grew up and started to cultivate. But as a newborn baby, it was impossible for you to practice a cultivation skill.
“At the time, the lackeys of Blood Divine Sect were all over the place, and your Devil Qi was likely to bring murder to this family! So, they were ready to leave, and the new place to stay, Little Yue chose the town when she first entered the Mortal Realm. It was located at the border Wufang Territory, Qingluo Town and she had lived there for a long time.
“At the moment when we were about to leave, suddenly a message fluttered here, your father’s face immediately changed after listening. It turned out that the Blood Divine Sect had sent the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect to kill Little Yue. They were the most elite disciples of the Blood Divine Sect, taught by the master. Each of them had reached the Fairly Immortal stage! They would arrive in less than thirty minutes.
“After your father’s cultivation dropped, the speed of his body was not as good as before, and with you, it was impossible to fly quickly. In the critical moment, Little Yue resolutely began to use the technique ‘Shadow Domain Transportation’ with my secret talent being the starter. This secret technique could only be used by the people who had established a life-bonded contract with me. It was automatically printed into the soul when establishing a contract with me.
“This technique should be used by the cultivators in the Immortal Devil stage. If the contractor tried to reach the level, the Devil Soul would be burnt as the price. Little Yue was only at the stage of Devil Warrior. Once the technique was completed, she was not far from dying and her soul vanishing. Even so, she did not hesitate.
“As a stater, I would enter the shadow space first to guide other people to the designated place. From the information transmitted by Little Yue, the end point of the transfer was Qingluo Town. At the moment when I entered the space, a man with a thick black beard in black robe suddenly appeared in the house. At about the same time, a round frisbee magic weapon hit directly onto Little Yue !”
