Chapter 11 Homecoming
“But Little Yue still desperately maintained the secret technique, until the beginning of the transfer, she and Lyu Liren holding you disappeared in the same spot. The next moment, we were already transported to Qingluo Town. At the moment our body emerged, your family suddenly disappeared in front of me out of thin air. I could feel that it was a stream of the great power of Space Law that took you away.
“My life-bonded contract with Little Yue was also voided at the same moment. I knew it, her Devil Soul must be broken, and was not enough to maintain the contract. But just like Feiwu at that time, I could feel her intangible aura. If I was not wrong, she should have at least one remnant soul left somewhere.
“Just when I was confused, I suddenly felt a mysterious aura. Although this aura was very weak, I could clearly feel that there was a bloodline aura of the Xuanli Clan, and I was extremely familiar with it. That was the aura of Feiwu.
“Soon, on barren land with messy rocks, I found the source of the aura. There was a well-hidden and independent space, others might not find it. Even if they found it, they could not enter because there was a strong seal on it. But for me, the Shadow Domain Beast, as long as I wanted, even the Realm-sealing Formation of the Heaven Realm could be easily passed through. So I did not hesitate to go in.
“It turned out that this place is the Virtual Land created by Dreamless Heavenly Lord. At the moment I entered, I felt the aura of Feiwu, and I stayed here after that. For five hundred years until you came in, the moment when your Devil Qi burst out, I recognized you, you are the baby from that year.”
Lyu Liang’s eyes were red with fury. “Damn Blood Divine Sect! How come you were everywhere! The murderer of my mother! I would never let go of you!”
As for what happened after the transportation, and the origin of the Mysterious Devil Seal in his sea of consciousness, if Lyu Liang wanted to understand thoroughly, the answer still lay with his father!
“I knew, at this moment, you can’t wait to find your father to ask all these questions. You are the child of my Xuanli Clan. As an elder, I will give you two souvenirs for our first meet. In fact, they were left by Mengdao back in the days. They were useless since I was staying here, it’s better to give you more strength.” Xuanli Feiwu, who was sitting on the right chair raised her hand and waved. Two magic treasures with intense aura appeared in the Void, one was a dark mask in the shape of a ghost head, and the other was a silky pair of wings glistened with thunder, “The mask is an immortal standard magic treasure—Ghost Devil Head, which can make the user’s strength increase by three stages in a short time. If you are in the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment, you can be instantly upgraded to the Peak of Foundation Establishment after use. The upgrading time will last about thirty minutes, and the mask can only be used once in ten hours. The other is an immortal standard devil treasure—Devil Thunder Wing. Its main function is to improve the defending speed, and also release a devil lightning strike comparable to the power of Immortal Devils, this attack can only be used once every twenty-four hours.
“You have only seen the world for a short time, and the treasures that you hold are top-grade. Don’t show it to people easily. If you are against an enemy, you strive to kill the moment you used a treasure. If you find something that cannot be done, you need to show weakness. Don’t be tempted, and do your best to escape as far as possible. OK, you can leave now. I hope there will be a day when you and I will meet again.” After that, the two Xuanli Feiwu closed their eyes simultaneously.
Lyu Liang kowtowed a few times with respect and delayed no further to go out of the Cenotaph. The moment that idea flashed through his mind, he disappeared from the Virtual Land with Black.
Behind the Great Supreme Elderly Lord Temple located behind the hills of the Siji Village, ripples flashed suddenly on the originally calm and tranquil rock piles. Immediately, a dark-faced youth in a white robe appeared in the air, it was the seventeen-year-old Lyu Liang.
It seemed that there were some reactions felt. Lyu Liang looked far and wide in the direction of his home, just in time to meet with his father’s calm glance. At this time, Lyu Liang, body full of restrained aura, with Black already integrated into the Devil Soul, looked like a young and honest village boy at first glance. The next moment, the wind breezed past, and Lyu Liang has stepped into the door of his home.
He went straight into his father’s study. Lyu Liren was already waiting there, his eyes are full of tenderness. Lyu Liang lowered his head, stuck his tongue out, and paused for a while before he finally muttered a sentence, “Dad, sorry…”
“My child, Xuanli Yue and Lyu Liren’s child has entered the road of cultivation in the end. I know that you have a lot of questions to ask me. Now, I will not hide, anything you want to know, just ask.” At one moment, Lyu Liren seemed to be released from something. Lyu Liang had never seen his father being so relieved as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.
“Dad, by chance, I entered an independent space created by a powerful figure, and later I learned about my birth. Now the Mysterious Devil Seal in my sea of consciousness was broken already, and I have established a life-bonded contract with the Shadow Domain Beast. Please tell me, father, five hundred years ago, what happened after our family was transported to Qingluo Town?” Lyu Liang tried to restrain his emotions but still could not hide the slightly trembling of shoulders.
“It seemed that your Devil Clan Cultivation Method was the same as your mother’s, both were the Devil Reshaping Technique. As for the Mind Mantra, I can’t recognize it now, but it should be a top graded Mind Mantra.” Lyu Liren’s eyes were full of gratification, and then he took out a small gray marble from his arms, where there was a glimpse of something looming.
Lyu Liang was astonished. He faintly guessed something. His lips trembled and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word, only two lines of tears rolling down his face.
“This is the Emperor Devil Pearl that can be used to raise a Devil Soul. Your mother’s soul is in it.” Lyu Liren gently stared at the beating soul in the pearl, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. “Look, your mother is usually quiet, but now, she must be excited because she saw you.”
“Mother!” After all, a thousand words had only become one word, and Lyu Liang had kneeled by then. Beside him, the Shadow Domain Beast emerged, and the bright eyes were full of dazzling light. “Little Yue, I have now established a life-bonded contract with Lyu Liang. He is excellent, and will definitely be outstanding in the future.”
“Liang’er, come! Hold your mother, let her take a good look at you. She used to peek at you secretly.” Lyu Liren handed the Emperor Devil Pearl to Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang stood up and tried to calm down his down his mind, keeping his hands as stable as possible and took over the pearl. The remnant of the soul seemed to feel something. It constantly drifted up and down in the Emperor Devil Pearl, as if a mother was surprised to look at her son who had just returned home.
“Liang’er, your mother and I originally hoped you live this life as a mortal. But heaven’s will was unpredictable, and you still went on this path. I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid that you couldn’t withstand it, and I was afraid that once you knew it, you would be tortured by the pain of being useless and unable to resist. But now, you are qualified to know what happened later.” Lyu Liren sighed slightly, “I will start from the time after our family was transported to Qingluo Town.
“At that time, when we emerged from the transportation space, we were sucked in by another powerful space force. When I showed up again, I came to a huge cave dedicated to many memorial tablets, but I didn’t see you and Little Yue around. After making out the names written on the cards, I was astonished. Because I knew all the people on the cards, they had a common surname—Lyu. Although I had never been here, it was clear that this was an ancestral hall where only the family master of the Lyu family generations could enter.
“When I was looking for you two, the master of Lyu family, who was my father, and your grandfather, appeared in front of me. He took me to a secret room where Divine Sense was isolated, sitting inside was an unfamiliar blind-eyed woman, lying on the bed opposite her, was Little Yue and you.
“At that time, Little Yue’s Devil Soul had been broken. It seemed that there was a mysterious divine power to temporarily maintain her body so that it would not dissipate immediately. When I rushed over, Little Yue smiled at me assuringly and then stared you in deep affection, and said the last sentence of her life, ‘Liren, let our son live as a mortal this life.’
“After finishing this sentence, Little Yue’s body dissipated. At the same time, a gray bead appeared in the old woman’s hand. She took your mother’s remnant soul into it and handed it to me. Then she nodded to my father and disappeared into thin air.
“After that, my father explained to me all these reasons behind. Actually, including the fact that I was abolished and expelled from the family, was all painful and thoughtful arrangements made by my father. The purpose was to confuse people with intentions and to help us.
“All of these came from the moment when I saved Little Yue. The three men in black robe were the outer disciples of the Blood Divine Sect. The man, who was in the Early-stage of the Nascent Soul, learned about the Shadow Domain Beast by coincidence. Later, he reported the situation to the person in charge of the management and said his own speculation. The man did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported to the higher authority, and finally, it was passed to the Sect Master.
“Others might not know what this meant, but as the Sect Master who participated in the killing of the Xuanli Clan in the past, it was pretty clear! So he sent someone to investigate, and soon, he found out about me first. At that time, I was the eldest son of Lyu family. Almost without further investigation, the Blood Divine Sect knew my identity.
“Before the Blood Divine Sect could do something to me, my father called me back first. When I reached, he asked about Little Yue’s situation. When I just told him that Little Yue was from the Devil Clan, my father punished me. With just one move, he abolished more than half of my cultivation. Without listening to any explanation from me, he announced that I was expelled from the Lyu family.
“At the time, I didn’t know that the Blood Divine Sect had been eyeing me. I only thought that my father could not accept the identity of Little Yue. Therefore, I was outraged. But when I thought about being able to stay with Little Yue finally, be free of all constraints and attachments, and enjoy our lover’s world, I was relieved.
“I left the Lyu family without even turning back my head. Although half of my cultivation was abolished, I found that I was still left with the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment, and there was no problem with the flight transportation. I later learned that my father deliberately pulled his punches. Moreover, before I left Lyu’s family, he placed a secret sacred talisman from our family on my body—Divine Hiding Talisman, which was the top talisman in the immortal standard of magic treasures.
“Under the camouflage of Divine Hiding Talisman, my aura completely disappeared, and I safely returned to where I lived with Little Yue temporarily. As Little Yue had always been very vigilant and had hidden her devil aura, the Blood Divine Sect no longer had clues to find us. Until you were born, I couldn’t suppress your Devil Qi completely, and finally, let the Blood Divine Sect discover our traces.”
