Chapter 48 A Storm Rises
Lyu Liang let Zhang Hao and Xiao Cui stay here first. After he was done dealing with the Wutong Sect, he would come back and fetch them and the kids.
After a while, three figures appeared outside the Sect-Protection Formation of Wutong Sect. They were Lyu Liang, Zhu Yan, and Fire-dragon Immortal.
“Taoism peers, this formation is made by the founding father of the Wutong Sect. It is said that the formation is near to the immortal standard. It contains three Formation Keys, each guarded by one disciple. The formation can only be broken if the Formation Key is destroyed! Unfortunately, it is a problem to get in…” The Fire-dragon Immortal frowned and sighed, and then looked at Lyu Liang and Zhu Yan. However, he only saw Zhu Yan alone with a glance.
When the Fire-dragon Immortal looked over, Zhu Yan shrugged helplessly, pointing to the front.
“Water-dragon bastard! You better come out! I will destroy this Wutong place today!” At this moment, Lyu Liang had already rushed into the formation and went straight to the three Formation Keys.
“He, how did he get in! Could it be that the Sect-Protection Formation was faulty?!” Fire-dragon Immortal was shocked and stunned, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhu Yan patted him on the shoulder and chirped, “Taoism peer Fire Dragon, you better wait for him to break the Formation Keys, and then make some arrangements. Or else, with the temper of Brother Lyu, your ancestral foundation will probably be destroyed.”
Fire-dragon Immortal was shocked, and everyone in the Wutong Sect was terrified because Lyu Liang was too fierce!
The moment Lyu Liang rushed in, he waved out his Tranquility Sword Essence, and its scope actually wrapped the entire top hill of the Wutong Sect! Then the Linghuang Sword Essence and the Mind Sword Essence cascaded. Under this pressure, no one was up to his match. Only some disciples above the Gold Core stage were able to retreat into the main hall.
At this time, the main hall of the Wutong Sect was shrouded in a golden light curtain. It was able to withstand the continuous attacks by Lyu Liang. After the endless sword rain drifted for about thirty minutes, let alone the disciples guarding the Formation Key, as long as they were not in the main hall, they were all dead.
“Taoism peer Lyu! Slow down, slow down! Please show your mercy and protect my little foundation of the Wutong Sect! Not all disciples are practicing evil methods, as long as the leader is cleared, this place will be restored in peace!” Fire-dragon Immortal felt so shocked! Looking at these moves, they looked nothing like the moves of the Late-stage of Gold Core! With such an abundant Sword Qi, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage might not possess it!
Lyu Liang snorted, in a flash, he had directly entered the golden light curtain that shrouded the main hall.
The main hall was now in chaos. Everyone knew that if Lyu Liang had another attack like what he did just now, they would all die soon… Thus, many people ran out of the main hall and incessantly kowtowed towards Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang’s Divine Sense swept through and was agitated once again. There was no sight of Water-dragon Immortal! From the look of this, he probably had a hunch and escaped in advance!
At this point, since the formation was broken, Fire-dragon Immortal also rushed over. Seeing that the core disciples were basically there, and the main hall was still intact, he heaved a long sigh and expressed his gratitude to Lyu Liang with a bow.
Later, with the help of Black, Lyu Liang quickly found the disciples who practiced evil methods and directly killed them with the thunder attack. After a while, he finally cleared off these demon people. However, it was a pity that the mastermind Water-dragon Immortal escaped. This made Lyu Liang angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, after the negotiation between Lyu Liang and Fire-dragon Immortal, the Wutong Sect would take care of the children. If they were willing to go home, they would be sent back. If they were homeless, they could take the Root-producing Elixir and cultivate under the Wutong Sect temporarily.
After this incident, Lyu Liang and Zhu Yan returned to where the green-shirt woman was and explained the situation truthfully. Then, according to the result of the previous discussion, they told the children that the two of them would go out to seek medical treatment with Lyu Liang. They would not be back in the meantime, and they wanted the children to stay in the Wutong Sect. After they came back, they could pick up the kids and live together.
Seventeen children were all ready to enter the Wutong Sect. There were a few children who could go to find their relatives, but once they heard that they could become an immortal if they cultivated and stayed with their favorite Aunt Cui, they all took the Root-producing Elixir.
Subsequently, Zhang Hao and Little Cui entered the cave residence of Zhu Yan and took the Soul Cultivation Tree for recovery. Lyu Liang also made an appointment with Zhu Yan that they would meet outside the Sword Character Immortal Palace a year and five months later.
…
Three days after the incident happened in Wutong Sect, on a wasteland in the Haofang Territory which was near the Wufang Territory in the Mortal Realm, a short, fat figure gradually emerged. It was the Water-dragon Immortal who had escaped here.
“Oh, I finally ran out of the Wufang Territory! Those damn two boys, how did they break the small Qian Kun Storage Bag! That guy named Lyu Liang seemed to have a secret method to ignore the existence of the Bounded Domain! Interesting!” Water-dragon Immortal rolled his eyes and immediately smirked, “Well, since you are making my life terrible, I will make your life terrible too. I will spread the rumor that you can ignore the Bounded Domain! Yes, I will say that you have a rare space treasure! Surely, there will be powerful people who will go and look for you, hahaha!”
“Oh, this idea is good. However, do you think you will have the chance to do that?” A teasing voice sounded suddenly and shocked the Water-dragon Immortal, and he hurriedly turned to look.
The space that was initially empty now had a blue-robed man. He had red and black long hair and was smiling cynically.
Water-dragon Immortal patted his forehead, relaxed and sneered, “Who am I thinking about?! Isn’t this the boy at the Middle-stage of Gold Core who was kept in my small Qian Kun Storage Bag without knowing anything! What, kid, you actually dared to chase me by yourself? You are committing suicide!”
The moment he stopped talking, a long sword appeared in the hands of Water-dragon Immortal. He waved out a few Sword Qis and went straight to the blue-robed youth.
“In the beginning, I did not intend to do anything to you, but you are too much! Therefore, I shall get my hands dirty and do the work!” The blue-robed man was Zhu Yan, though he faced a few magnificent Sword Qis, he did not have any intention of running.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier. When the Sword Qi approached Zhu Yan, it evaporated into traces of mist and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Zhu Yan, who had been smiling for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer dark in color. Instead, they were replaced by a pair of red eyes that were flashing with a green light.
“Red, Red-flamed Demon Eyes, you, you are…” After the initial shock, Water-dragon Immortal was now shivering. He widened his eyes, and his fingers pointed at Zhu Yan, but his mouth could not make a sound. At the same time, his body began to tremble violently, and his aura was in a mess. It seemed that he could explode at any time.
“Yo? You poor little bumpkin from the countryside knows quite a lot of things huh? Oh, at first I wanted to turn you to ash, but now, it seems I don’t have to do that.” Zhu Yan yawned lazily, waiting for something with interest.
When his speech ended, a figure emerged from the Void. A girl in white appeared in front of Water-dragon Immortal, full of killing intent. With a flash of silver, a three-foot-long cyan centipede came out and swallowed Water-dragon Immortal. It even chewed a few times carefully, and finally, it burped and disappeared.
Later, the white girl approached Zhu Yan respectfully and made an elegant bow. The murderous atmosphere around her had disappeared, she was the Yun’er who appeared earlier on.
“To kill such scum, there is no need to dirty the hands of milord!” Yun’er seemed to be angry still.
When Zhu Yan saw it, he shook his head and smiled, and his eyes returned to normal.
“I have already done the things that milord has instructed. The other three highnesses have agreed to wait and see, and they will not interfere with the Land of Origin.” Yun’er reverently reported to Zhu Yan.
“Okay, there is still one year and five months, let’s go back. I am really looking forward to it! The things that my father couldn’t do before Rising to the Realm, will they be completed by me?” Zhu Yan laughed, the next moment, he disappeared with Yun’er.
…
Half a month later, Lyu Liang returned to the Sword Character Immortal Palace, rejuvenated. Without any rest, he immediately reported the situation to the founding father of Sword Character and the Hunyuan Sword Immortal. At the same time, Zhu Yan’s position as the fifth teammate was settled.
Later, Lyu Liang passed the news to Shangguan Ying and Li Wuyi who were still in closed-door meditation. Xu Mubai could not be contacted at the moment. However, Lyu Liang believed that when it came to the agreed time after one year and five months, he would naturally show up.
For the rest of the year, Lyu Liang put his energy on the consolidation of his cultivation. The Giant Tiger that had been practicing in the demon stone mine at the trial field had now moved into Lyu Liang’s cave residence. Every day, he cheerfully held the Demon Green Stone with love. At this point, it had reached the Early-stage of Demon Spirit.
…
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. The Zishui Country in the Kunlun Territory of the Mortal Realm was also becoming more and more lively. The people who wanted to enter the Land of Origin in the Demon Realm had already started to gather there.
At the moment, in a small town in Zishui Country. Inside an ordinary farmhouse, a tall man wearing a bloody skull-patterned black robe and a faceless mask stood. Behind him stood a white-browed old man with a pair of dull gray eyes flipping up and down. He seemed to be whispering something. These two people were one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect and the lord of the Blood Divine Sect.
“Uncle Xuan, this is what he told you to tell me? He did not want to see me?” There was a deep sense of helplessness in the tone of the Blood Divine Sect lord.
“My lord, don’t you know his temper already? Since he said it, he will definitely do it. Moreover, his chances are indeed better than ours. Thus, we can let him try this time. Moreover, he has already accepted the Red-blood bead and was hinted by me. We will not be late even if we change plans later,” the old man answered.
“Uncle Xuan, I have said a lot of times, in front of outsiders, it’s not a problem to call me ‘Lord’. In private, I would still like you to call me by my name directly! If you didn’t sacrifice your Divine Soul to save me that time, then there would be no Xu Chongzhi.” The Blood Divine Sect lord changed his usual merciless tone and talked to the old man with respect like an ordinary person.
The white-browed old man sighed and shook his head, “Since I decided to become one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect, I should call you the lord. Besides, my life was given by Miss Bai. It was worth it to me to do this for your relationship with her. Ai, the few Saint Emperors of the Demon Clan have never treated you as their own. Otherwise, if they were willing to help back then, the result would not be so disastrous.”
The Blood Divine Sect lord turned around and had a decisive look. He whispered, “As long as we get the Crazy Devil Blade, together with the Hellfire Shield and you. Even if Silence and Soul-Depriving wanted to hide, it would be impossible. This is the rule of law that we have set up for each other back then. Since he is so sure, I will let him do it! But I must also go, he is too sentimental and may stand at a loss! This is the only chance, and I don’t want to let Wanying wait for another thousand years!”
