Chapter 251 The Fox and Wolf Clan
When the senior brother Mu glared at him, Lyu Liang knew instantly that he had seen through him!
Without wasting any time, as soon as senior brother Mu was done shouting, Lyu Liang’s golden fist already punched senior brother Tong, who had been looking sideways at his companion…
That punch held all his strength, so even though senior brother Tong was a Supreme Master, he was killed instantly. His head was blown away and his soul vanished!
Next, the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm came out vigorously and the three Spirit Swallowing Bugs instantly integrated with the dumbstruck senior brother Mu’s body. At that moment, Lyu Liang worked with the Ghost Soldier to kill the other five red-robed people, whose smiles had yet to fade away completely.
In less than 30 minutes, except for senior brother Mu whose cultivation had already been completely destroyed by the Spirit Swallowing Bugs, only Gao Youwei was still hanging on, trying to fight Lyu Liang desperately, but was clearly in a disadvantageous position.
When Lyu Liang started to fight with Gao Youwei, he did not use the Five Acts of Heaven Soul initially. Even the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm was only at the second layer. The power of Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence and the third layer of the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm together, were enough to cause Gao Youwei’s death, but Lyu Liang wanted to feel personally what a so called a high level fighting capacity, truly was.
As for Gao Youwei’s fighting capability, it was indeed something to be admired. The two silver Voulges in his hands were brandished smoothly and in a strange formation. He himself dealt with the 7 Ghost Soldiers with the power of the second layer of the Transforming Realm and Lyu Liang, who was reserving his strength. Despite this, he was still able to maintain himself on some level and did not lose completely. This made Lyu Liang admire him silently.
After 30 minutes, the third layer of the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm appeared and Gao Youwei seemed to be having a hard time defending himself. And when Lyu Liang fully exerted the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence, Gao Youwei died instantly, after only two breaths.
The storage bags of the dead people were taken by Lyu Liang undoubtedly, because he still had to use the original method and the writings on the surface, when strengthening the puppet with the Weapon Incantation.
With the half-head of senior brother Tong on the site, Lyu Liang was finally able to start the Soul-Searching that he had been dreaming about, all this while.
However, when he started the Soul-Searching, his Divine Soul quivered suddenly, and the warning from Old Xuan immediately rang out, within less than two breaths. Lyu Liang did not hesitate and left the spot directly, in an instantaneous flash. The next minute, senior brother Mu was hit by an unexpected golden light, and disintegrated instantly into ashes!
Lyu Liang managed to escape in the nick of time, and he broke out in a cold sweat! The golden light that had appeared all of a sudden was just too powerful. If he had failed to get away, he would probably have been hit, even with the protection of the Divine Body!
In all these years, his cultivation had improved greatly, and he was also getting more and more big opportunities. Now he had no fears when he came to the Nether Big World, all by himself.
But at that time, he felt that the middle-level world in the legend, was definitely much more mysterious and powerful that he’d imagined!
As the strange golden light failed to hit him, Lyu Liang finally had time to look around. Surprisingly, three weird creatures, each about 30 feet high, appeared at the side of the lake, where Lyu Liang and the disciples of the Burning Ridge were. Lyu Liang did not know when they appeared!
Their appearances were similar to the puppet, but Lyu Liang did not recognize their forms . The golden light earlier, had been shot by one of them, from its arm.
“Lingwu Armor! Leave them to me!” White said, at that moment. He even sounded a little excited.
Then White emerged from Lyu Liang’s body and swooped like a bird toward the three Lingwu Armors. They had already surrounded Lyu Liang, and were about to attack him again.
At the next moment, the Lingwu Armors disappeared right on the spot, and three people with wolf heads appeared instead. They all looked very excited! Apparently, White was a great surprise to them.
As Lyu Liang was trying to figure out what was happening, the people that just appeared, including the two orcs that were trapped in the black net, knelt directly and started to kowtow to Lyu Liang, or White, more precisely, while speaking in some strange language, their voices trembling.
“They are the descendants of the Orc Clan, part of those Divine Clans that I’ve mentioned before, but… Humph!” White sounded very serious, and also seemed quite resentful. Then he started to speak to them in the same strange language…
Lyu Liang was already used to these unusual things. He withdrew the black net at once. Although the orcs might not understand him, he still cupped his hands and said, “I’m Lyu Liang, from the Chaotic World. I’m not one of those from before, so please don’t get mistake me for them, guys.”
At this time, White merged into Lyu Liang’s body again, and secretly transmitted a voice message to him, “This place is not an area to stay around for too long. Follow them and find out the details about this place, on the way. Now I am sure that we are in the periphery of the south part of the Nether Big World, which is the Divine Wasteland in the Blood Realm.”
The man with a wolf head, who had passed out after being hit by Lyu Liang, gradually came round, with the help of his companions. Then he also kowtowed to Lyu Liang, even though White had already disappeared.
Then, Lyu Liang flew to the south with those orcs for one and a half hours, when he could faintly see a sheet of thick black mist. In front of the mist were countless broken tiles that were spread out on the ground, as well as some broken weapons. It was like an abandoned battlefield!
Lyu Liang had many questions which went unanswered, and just followed them into the mist. He had Black, so basically there was no Bounded Domain that could block him.
When they flew through the mist, what Lyu Liang saw at that time, was actually an idyllic tribe world during sunset! It was totally different from the dark and oppressive atmosphere in the Nether Big World!
What surprised Lyu Liang most was that there was a huge human figure about a dozen feet high, sitting in the middle of the large square of the tribe, and he looked exactly like that big fellow with a beard, who had appeared deep in his memory countless times!
The first time Lyu Liang saw him, was during the battle in the civilization remains in the ancient times. That big fellow with a beard fought with amazing strength at the battle, and also had some mysterious connection with the Divine Beast of Chaos, which impressed Lyu Liang very much.
Afterwards, Lyu Liang rested with White to recover his cultivation. Although part of his memories were seemingly being sealed, he was still getting more and more memories about that guy.
When he saw him again in that place, and noted how White’s reactions were also indicating something. Lyu Liang would never believe that there was no connection between them!
As soon as Lyu Liang arrived in the tribe world, the big fellow started to give out streams of white light. Then, countless orcs came out from their respective cave residences, and they all knelt and kowtowed to the human figure.
At that time, three orcs with white hair and beards, came together in front of Lyu Liang respectfully, their eyes full of tears of excitement.
Lyu Liang fixed his eyes on them, and discovered that the one in the middle of them was actually a man with the head of a tiger. The men with the head of a wolf and the head of a fox, were behind them. The other people of that tribe had wolf heads and fox heads.
“I’m Hu Wu, the primary clan elder of the Fox and Wolf Tribe in the Divine Clan. They are the second clan elder, Lang Lie, and the third clan elder, Hu Linger. We are all here to greet you, Childe! Thank you saving our people when they were in danger!” Hu Wu bowed to Lyu Liang.
Although what that primary clan elder said was obviously not in accordance with his excited expression, Lyu Liang was already used to White’s style of apparently not intending to explain the causes and results, so he just generally described his situation to them.
Later, led by the three clan elders, Lyu Liang came into a large ancient stone house. Before he could ask anything, they told him about the place.
The Divine Wasteland was indeed the south part of the Blood Realm, in the Nether Big World.
There were two great powers in that place, one was the Burning Ridge that the red-robed people, whom Lyu Liang had seen before, resided, and the other one was the Icy Peak that he was mistakenly thought to belong to. The two powers were located separately on the east and the west of the Fox and Wolf Tribe. The eastern part had endless mountains which looked like burning flames, while the western part had majestic mountains, which were covered by snow all year long!
They were both popular big powers in the Nether Big World. Except for the countless cultivators who were Masters, they also had three Tao Ancestors as commanders, respectively!
What was important was that their only goal was to terminate the Fox and Wolf Tribe, and take away their most precious treasure that the tribe had been guarding from generation to generation!
That abandoned land they saw before, was the aftermath of a battle between them. And the black mist outside the Fox and Wolf Tribe was the Great Defense Formation with the greatest forces. Even if they could eliminate the Bright Ant Beast and the Domain-breaking Seal on the clan’s Bounded Domain in the Chaotic World, they still had no method to break the closed formation, which seemed to have been formed since ancient times.
However, the Bounded Domain of black mist that had never changed, had started to narrow down its protective range automatically for no apparent reason, about 500 years ago!
When the periphery of the tribe was not under the cover of the black mist someday, they would be sure to face the cruel destruction and slaughter by the Burning Ridge and the Icy Peak!
Lyu Liang also noticed at that time, that there were only less than ten people, who was able to fly, besides the three clan elders, while nearly one thousand other clansmen could not fly at all!
“Ah, most of our clansmen were enslaved and lived in darkness in the north part of the Nether Big World, about two thousand years ago. But then people found that the beast souls of our clansmen could be converted to the assisting medicine, to greatly improve the cultivation! At that time, all our people gathered together and accepted their sole destiny of being killed.” Hu Wu sounded deep and sad, but then his voice became louder, “We’ve been living in this place all the time, but there are only a dozen people here. We were truly incapable of saving so many clansmen. Just then, a mysterious powerful figure saved them and took them all to this place! But before we had a chance to see his face, he left quietly.”
“Why can’t all the other clansmen fly, except you clan elders and a dozen other people? Besides, I have fought with your people before, and found that they had almost indestructible bodies, but they don’t have any magic powers. Can you explain that to me, too?” Lyu Liang’s restraint failed him at last, because of his strong curiosity.
Hu Wu again wore an expression of deep sadness and said with grief, “Except for us, who still have magic powers, other clansmen have already been planted with the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal, a priceless treasure in ancient times, inside their souls, before being gathered here! That’s one of the reasons why we are no match when it comes to fighting with the two big powers! Plus, the clansmen that were sealed, could only speak the inherent Divine Clan language, and are not be able to use the modern language, unlike us.”
At the moment, Lang Lie added, “The object which looks a puppet that you’ve seen before, is called Lingwu Armor, a unique armor in our Orc Clan. As for its attacking and guarding functions, it would be comparable to the Supreme Master, with a high level fighting capability at most! However, there are only a dozen armors that were being passed down. And they are not enough for us to fight with the two powers who have so many treasures.”
When Lyu Liang heard these words, his heart skipped a beat!
The scenes of removing the Mysterious Devil Seal that year, appeared again in his head. That was a painful process that Lyu Liang clearly remembered until today! Especially when Xuanli Feiwu had also lost a wisp of soul then. The cost was too high!
“Dude, the Mysterious Devil Seal only seals the Devil Soul, but the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal will directly seal the mana! In this world, even though the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal is not a treasure that is very easy to get, you could still obtain it, as long as you pay enough money. Now you know how rich the middle-level world is. When we get to the high-level world someday, your horizon will be much widened then!” White said lazily at the moment. Hearing what White said, Lyu Liang was again full of expectations about the cultivation journey in the future.
It was dark outside at this time. Lyu Liang was brought by the three clan elders to a cave residence to have a rest. He also wanted to get a clear understanding of the situation, and make plans for the future, during the rest.
…
It was late at night. Lyu Liang sat in meditation with his eyes closed, while White appeared in the large cave residence that they were in before. The three clan elders of the Fox and Wolf Clan were also there. They all knelt and kowtowed to White, while crying out at the same time, “The Fox and Wolf Clan here welcome the Beast King back, milord!”
White nodded and said lightly, “Get up, everyone. We are brothers, and always will be. Even in the past you still need not do this, let alone now that I am in a situation like this. I did not expect that there will be clansmen of your branch living here! Hu Wu, does the Lion and Tiger Clan have people left in this world?”
Hu Wu got up and answered, “Before the battle that year, after you sealed most of the clansmen of the Orc Clan, our small world also fell apart in the end. When the spells were removed afterwards, I came across Lang Lie, and we came to this world together.”
“Okay. Since I am here, I won’t stand by and do nothing! Right now, I’m the Divine Beast of Chaos. Lyu Liang is the person I’m attached to. I hope you trust him, as you trust me. There is a day in the future that he will have the opportunity to remove your Xuan Ling Engraving Seal!” White’s eyes were sharp. He then added, “You’d better not tell him anything about me.”
“Yes, milord!” The three clan elders answered firmly at the same time.
White continued to ponder for a while, seeming to have made a decision. He glanced at the three men in front of him and said deeply, “There is already a wisp of orc soul inside Lyu Liang’s body. You are guarding another wisp now. Since he is here, find a time and give it to him, too!”
The clan elders were stunned and Hu Wu said immediately, “Milord! Well, then in the future you… I mean, this thing is now inside the Ling Wu Seven Stars Array, and there is also the thing that you’ve left that year…”
White had a complicated look on his face. “Do as I say!” He cut Hu Wu off and continued, “Remember, should there be a time that Lyu Liang and I are hostile toward each other in the future, I demand that you all stand on his side unconditionally! The Orc Clan is clear about kindness and hatred! So long as he successfully removes your Xuan Ling Engraving Seal in the future, and eliminate the threat from the Dark Reign, the Fox and Wolf Clan will never betray him! Otherwise, I’ll be the first one to kill you!”
