Chapter 267: Meeting Enemy in the Tianshu Pavilion
Less than half a day later, when dawn had hardly broken, the news that the original savage man of Icy Peak had joined the Tianshu Pavilion, was known to everybody in Nether Big World.
In this great world where everything was decided by power, the powerful sects had nothing to say about Tianshu Pavilion’s action of taking the initiative to gain the upper hand. They could just sigh about their bad luck.
Lyu Liang followed Zhao Mingquan as they flew eastward. They approached the inner part of the Core Region from the outer part of the Wild Domain.
Along the way, more and more cultivators appeared. The cultivators’ relationship here was different from that in the other big worlds that Lyu Liang knew. Here, the cultivators could not get along well with each other at all, even though they were strangers.
In just two hours, Lyu Liang had seen three incidents of people being robbed of their treasures. There were actually cultivators around, but nobody would bother to interfere. They seemed to be accustomed to this sort of situation, no matter how bloody and fierce it was…
The most horrifying thing was, these three accidents were not only fights between two men… For example, in the first fight, there was initially two cultivators participating in the fight. However, as time went by, people from the two sides joined in the fight as well, turning it into a group fight.
Moreover, when the total number of people on the scene exceeded four, the two sides unanimously released a powerful protective cover. Although they fought fiercely inside, the people outside were not affected by their battles.
This was the rule. You can fight at will, but you have to ensure it did not affect the other people around the area. If the combatants numbered more than four, or the cultivation of some people were already at the Early-stage of the Heavenly Master, the protective cover should be activated. Otherwise, once you affected the others, the executives of the Dark Reign will come over and kill everyone. If it became too severe, the sects that those people belonged to, will be punished too. Listening to Zhao Mingquan’s explanation, Lyu Liang could only shake his head helplessly. It was really better to see it than to hear about it!
After flying for another 45 minutes, the mountains along the way gave way to more and more buildings. They could see more cultivators at this point, but they saw no more fights.
At this point, a huge suspended light ball in front of them, caught Lyu Liang’s attention, and then he saw Zhao Mingquan smiling and asked, “That’s it. The Tianshu Pavilion is just in front!”
When his voice fell, the surface of the ball flashed with a black light, and a channel emerged. Several figures appeared from inside it. The one in front was a thin old man, wearing a blue robe. He had gray hair and a youthful face, and he nodded to Lyu Liang and smiled, “I have long heard of your fame. I’m Wenshu Master, one of the leaders of the Tianshu Pavilion. I have been waiting here for a long time!”
“These are the three leaders from Tianshu Pavilion. The head of the leaders is Tianshu Ancestor, who leads Wenshu Ancestor and Wushu Ancestor.” Zhao Mingquan kindly reminded him.
“My respects to the Ancestor!” “I am Man Zi, and I am sincerely eager to enter Tianshu Pavilion!” Feeling a bit startled, Lyu Liang hurriedly bowed to him, with a flattering look.
“No need to be so polite, huh, huh. Since you are new to the Nether Big World, you may have no idea about the rules here.” “Mingquan, from this time on, he is the official inside disciple of Tianshu Pavilion, and hence your Junior Brother.” “Later, you can take him to choose a cave residence and a few attendants, and then inform him about the rules of our Nether Big World and Tianshu Pavilion.” “Three days later, it will be the deadline to determine who the participants will be, in the final test of the Mining Area.” “At that time, remember to bring him to the main hall. ” Wenshu Ancestor smiled softly. He waved his hand, and then a blue robe in the same style that Zhao Mingquan wore, was placed on Lyu Liang, “Perhaps you are accustomed to your previous way of dressing. However, now that you are enrolled in Tianshu Pavilion, you have to obey the rules of Tianshu Pavilion. “This robe is your uniform and the nameplate for you to live by in the Nether Big World. Anyway, those who dare to offend the inside disciples of Tianshu Pavilion have not been born yet!”
Later, Wenshu Ancestor and the others went off, and Zhao Mingquan flew into the ball of light with Lyu Liang. At this time, what appeared in front of Lyu Liang’s eyes was a paradise, which was totally different from the gloomy world outside.
Birds twittered and flowers bloomed. There were elegant peaks, clear springs, nice buildings and pavilions everywhere.
Lyu Liang flew in with Zhao Mingquan. All the disciples of Tianshu Pavilion who saw them along the way, revealed a certain tinge of jealousy in their eyes.
Lyu Liang also found that compared to those disciples, there was a layer of dark gold in the strange talisman embroidered on the chest of the costumes worn by Zhao Mingquan and himself. Perhaps this was the difference between the inside disciples and ordinary principles.
“Well?” “Senior brother, isn’t this the area of the cave residence?” Lyu Liang pointed to the residence below, which was apparently the disciples’ residential area , but he did not stop flying.
“This is the cave residence of the ordinary disciples. As inside disciples, how can we live in such a shabby land, with such thin Spiritual Qi?” Zhao Mingquan grinned and only stopped after another 30 minutes. He pointed to the front and said, “That is the area of our cave residences! “Brother, I am not bragging. The number of big powers who have cave residences of this level in the Nether Big World, does not exceed five, except the Dark Reign! “You will know what the environment inside is like, once you enter it!”
Following his figure, Lyu Liang looked to the front, and then he squinted. He immediately found the secret, since he had a lot of Bounded Domain experience with the help of Black!
He saw a few elliptical golden light curtains, equivalent to the height of one person floating in front. Lyu Liang understood that this must be the same as the Colorful Barrier of the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, inside which there were special designations!
“Take it! This is the key to your cave residence. Don’t lose it. In our kind of cave residences, the only passport is the key, not the person!” Zhao Mingquan took out two black pebbles and threw one of them to Lyu Liang. He took the other one and entered the cave residence. Lyu Liang naturally followed him.
If the inner world of Tianshu Pavilion could be described as a Land of Peach Source, this place was then the fairyland of the Land of Peach Source! The density of the Spiritual Qi here was even higher than that in the Virtual Land!
“Senior, senior brother! How… how strong the aura is here!” Lyu Liang showed a look of surprise, which was not completely false.
Zhao Mingquan was not surprised at Lyu Liang’s reaction, and he laughed loudly and said, “Junior Brother, it is just as I have said!” Even compared to the Goddess Nyu Wa space, this place was even more superior, in terms of the quality of Spiritual Qi! How many people have dreamt of cultivating here! “Now, this place is yours!” “But I should remind you.” “Everyone who can enter this place have basically gone through numerous fatal fights!” “Living in such an ultimate-grade cave residence, we will be challenged five times, every three years.” “The form will be the Wheel battle or one challenging five, and the form will be decided by the challenger.” “If the original owner of the cave residence is defeated, the cave residence will be given to the challenger!” “Of course, the loser will generally fight even at the sacrifice of their lives, so they care little about whether they will have another chance.”
Lyu Liang nodded. No matter how cold and bloody the Nether Big World was known to be, in this environment where you would always confront fatal fights, you have to spend as much time as possible, in cultivation.
“Wow!” “This is… is he Man Zi, our Junior Brother?” “And one of our five-person squad?” “Nice to meet you!” “I am Feng Qingfeng, with the special level fighting capacity of the Supreme Master. I am also one of your senior brothers!” And then a burst of laughter could be heard, and after the flashing of a mass of golden lights, five figures appeared, one after another. The first one was a stout young man, who also wore the costume of the inside disciples. His most remarkable feature was his black, pockmarked face.
“Exactly!” “Pockmark Feng!” “This is indeed Man Zi, our Junior Brother, and also a teammate who will fight side by side with us, a few days later!” “Then it is your turn to give him some information, and also how to go about selecting servants!” “Coincidentally, just now Master Wushu secretly transmitted a voice to me to come over, and I was wondering what I had to do?” Zhao Mingquan’s eyes lit up and turned to Lyu Liang, “Junior Brother, let this guy help you to deal with the other things. I have some business to attend to now, so see you three days later!”
Having politely witnessed Zhao Mingquan’s departure, Lyu Liang finally had time to look carefully at Fengqing Feng, who seemed to be harmless. To his surprise, this guy directly entered his cave residence, even without notifying him! If he had not been mistaken, when he entered the cave residence, the restriction formation at the entrance of the cave had been restored.
The appearance of this guy was really difficult to flatter, and the four girls following him were obviously servants.
“Ha ha ha, Junior Brother Man Zi, I have already heard about your good performance at Icy Peak! “You know, what you have done really brings great fame to us males!” “Come on to my cave residence, and we can chat while enjoying good food!” “You know, the cultivators in this world are all crazy about cultivation, so it is difficult for me to find a pot companion!” “Now that you are here for the first time, you had better have a good chat with me and divert me from boredom, before you go into the cultivation craze!” Pockmark Feng’s enthusiasm gave Lyu Liang a better sense of intimacy.
“Senior brother Feng, aren’t you a member of the Nether Big World?” Lyu Liang’s curiosity was answered by a long and deep sigh from pockmark Feng.
“Oh, I am sorry about this!” “Why did I leave the Heaven Realm in the Pangu Origin world, and came to such a tormented world?” “Let’s not talk about it! Don’t mention it!” “Come! Let’s drink wine!” Pockmark Feng grasped Lyu Liang and pulled him outside, directly.
“Senior brother, the restriction formation of my cave residence seemed to have no… ” As he followed pockmark Feng, Lyu Liang asked his last question. If the restriction formation did not work, the cave residence would be in danger!
“Haha, this is my unique secret skill!” “As for the details… sorry, it’s not that I do not trust you, but… hehe, everyone should have his trump card, right?” “Don’t worry! Nobody can enter your cave residence without the key, except for the three Ancestors and myself, in the whole Tianshu Pavilion!” “And it is also impossible for others to know anything about your cave residence, let alone enter it!” Pockmark Feng patted his chest, and left with a proud smile on his face.
When the two of them went out of the cave residence, pockmark Feng suddenly patted his head and said, “Well, you had better select your servants first!” “Now that we are so congenial, and old Zhao has delegated this task to me, I have to do it well!” “Come! I assure you that I will select servants who are better than mine, for you! ”
Anyway, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Lyu Liang did not stop him, because he thought that the servants could be selected, and whether he would use them or not, depended on him.
Pockmark Feng led Lyu Liang to the North end of the Tianshu Pavilion, where there was a black barrier. The people stationed at the gate saw the two inside disciples coming, and they bowed respectfully to him.
“This is the inside disciple who has just joined our sect, and I am bringing him here to select servants… “While speaking, pockmark Feng suddenly felt his eyebrows twitching. He pulled Lyu Liang who was about to enter the gate and said lightly, “I suddenly remember I have something to do now, so let’s go back first and tomorrow I will bring you here again!”
Lyu Liang was stunned, and thought, “He had been in such a hurry to select servants for me, but when we reached the gate, he suddenly changed his mind, why?”
“Oh, since you are already here, why not go ahead and select the servants?” “And I can take this opportunity to see that what brother Man Zi, who won the fight at Icy Peak, is like?” A soft and pleasant voice came from inside the barrier.
Lyu Liang felt something stirring in his heart, although he had never heard her voice before!
“Xiao Liang, the Silence Sword has a reaction!” “It seems to be resonating with something. Quickly suppress it, or else we would be in danger!” Black’s sudden shocked shout forced Lyu Liang to add many restriction formations in the Virtual Land in an instant.
At this point, along the shining of the black barrier, two figures emerged. The first figure was a woman with a smiling face. Looking at the two standing at the gate, she stared at Lyu Liang and said, “Ok?” “You seem to be different from what I imagined!” “In my opinion, shouldn’t you be a young man dressed in white robes and holding a sword?”
Lyu Liang was totally stupefied! Completely stupefied! But it was not because of the words of this white-robed woman.
Although her words had already made Lyu Liang startled and scared, yet the one that really caught him off guard, was the man standing behind the woman.
Lyu Liang would never forget this face, which resembled his eldest brother Xu Mubai, although there was a trace of cruelty in this handsome face…
“Little brother, what’s wrong with you?” “Do you know our Chongzhi?” The white-robed woman smiled and walked to Lyu Liang. She put her elegant arms softly on his shoulder and said gently: “I am Li Caiyun, the highest deacon of the Dark Reign, or you can call me Bai Wanying.”
