Chapter 338 Scapegoat
“Phew!” Wen Xiaojing spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Lyu Liang held her shoulders, asking anxiously, “How are you!” “The power of Tao has already injured you, yet you still dare to use the Skill of Space Shift!” Then before she could react, he turned around, hoisted her on his back, and continued running towards the gate of the city.
At this point, about a hundred feet behind them, the screams and wails began to grow louder. Countless people who were enjoying themselves now widened their eyes in horror and scuttled toward the gate. They shouted along the way, “It’s the Blazing Kill Trap!” “People are going to die in Sleepless City!”
“Young Lord!” “You can’t kill at your will!” “Just plough your way through, or you will be teleported outside, once someone is dead!” The leading man in black, frowned and looked at Yao Wenlong, who had a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
“This group of rubbish, how dare they block my way. After I kill Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing, we will kill all the people here!” “I believe that with the prestige of the Yao Clan, these nameless people will not dare to say a word!” Yao Wenlong, relying on his many masters, did not care about these passers-by. No matter where the cultivators came from, they were all helpless mortals here.
As more people were injured and fell to the ground, without losing their lives, those panicking passers-by began to realize something. As they ran, they found that the target of the black-robed men seemed not to be them, but the white-robed young man, who was carrying a girl on his back.
Therefore, more and more passers-by gave up heading straight to the city gate and moved aside, and the black-robed men sped up and got closer to Lyu Liang…
“Put me down. Their target is me…” Wen Xiaojing who was hanging on to Lyu Liang’s back stuttered, “I’m tired anyway, I hope that one day when you go to the Goddess Nyu Wa space, you can do something that will be good enough to change the whole situation. If you can remember me by that time, do help the Wen Clan…” When she finished, she squirmed and tried to get down.
“Are you kidding?” “Wen Clan is your Wen Clan. It’s not mine!” “Since you’re so worried, help them yourself!” “I have a lot of things and a lot of enemies and have no time to have anything to do with Goddess Nyu Wa space!” How could Lyu Liang let her do this. He panted, “It doesn’t matter what happened before, but as long as I live, you can’t die!”
“I used to be valued because of my Inheritance Body, but without the help of the once-living powerful figures, I am nobody. It may be better for me to die…” Wen Xiaojing was not as strong as Lyu Liang, and gave up struggling after a few tries. But she sounded exhausted.
“Come on, it’s you who discovered the enemy first, and it was you who thought of trying to seduce the enemy. When the Immortal Qi was restored just now, you reacted much faster than me. Let’s just say, if it wasn’t for you, we might have been dead by now.” Lyu Liang grunted, and then muttered, “if you are nobody, then I might as well commit suicide!” “Spare me some self-esteem…”
“Hehe…” Wen Xiaojing was stunned at first, then she grinned and put her head on Lyu Liang’s back again, and whispered, “Thank you…” After that, she closed her eyes, and it seemed whatever happened later, was no longer important…
But Lyu Liang did not want to just sit still. He knew that he could not run for too long with his speed and the weight of one more person. The passers-by who were blocking the way had dissipated, and those black-robed men were masters of martial arts. In less than thirty minutes, they would besiege them again. At that time, if he was still in town, he would surely die! But he needed at least an hour to get out of town…
“Never mind!” “If I am fated to die here, then I shall, eh?” “Whoops!” As Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, he suddenly felt his feet slip, and then he fell uncontrollably into a sudden pit.
At the same time, as he kept falling, his immortal aura started to move! Finally, after three breaths, his cultivation reached the Early-stage of Fairy Immortal! Of course, at this point, his cultivation stopped rising.
But what could be more pleasing than having some cultivations restored?
At present, although Lyu Liang did not know what was going on, he immediately decided to send Wen Xiaojing, who was almost unconscious, into his cave residence. Then he howled and turn into a pinch of black soil with his Five-Elements Body.
At the same time, the black-robed men had surrounded the pit, and the leading man shouted without hesitation, “Enter the grounds!” “The other teams have surrounded the outside of the city, we shall attack from both sides and must kill them!” After roaring, he jumped in first.
With this command, dozens of black-robed men rushed into the deep pit and disappeared. Yao Wenlong caught up with them, panting hard. He was about to jump in together, but was suddenly pulled back by a strong force. When he looked back, he was terrified!
Lyu Liang, who should have been deep in the ground, was the one who was pulling him. He sneered and pulled at him, at the same time. In his other hand, a cold light flashed, and in a short time, a blue dagger slit through Yao Wenlong’s throat!
“You, you, I, oh…” Yao Wenlong widened his eyes in shock, then his eyes gradually dimmed as his body fell to the ground. Even before his death, he did not understand how he could get killed when he was on the sure-win side…
After Lyu Liang succeeded, he did not hesitate and jumped into the pit. Amidst the exclamation of the surrounding crowd, he disappeared!
“That, that seems to be the only child of the Yao Clan!” “Oh my god, who is that man who is daring enough to kill him!” “Doesn’t he want to stay in the universal space?”
“He seems to be called Lyu Liang. I heard it from those black-robed men!” “Get out of town and check the details of this person. This is a big deal!”
…
At the same time, Lyu Liang, who was still running along the ground in the black soil heard the passers-by talking about it, with his sharp hearing. He frowned as he ran, “They seem to be discussing about me killing someone, what’s happening?”
“Fool, you have been framed. They are too vicious…” Wen Xiaojing’s faint voice came, accompanied by a bitter smile, “Your enemy is not simple…”
Lyu Liang was about to ask again, when a long-lost ‘Ba Ji’ sound came. Then a black light suddenly appeared and turned into a small vortex, and Lyu Liang rushed right into it…
…
At the same time, the Lyu Liang, who descended into the pit later, gradually transformed into the figure of a black-robed man, as he ran into the soil. With a few flashes, he merged into the black-robed men’s team ahead.
In contrast, a black man who was present before, disappeared in a flash and turned into a hunched back old man, not far from the team. At the same time, he shouted, “Operation fail!” “Retreat!”
“Retreat now!” The big man in black also roared. All the black-robed men who were pursuing Lyu Liang gave up, without any hesitation. They scattered and disappeared immediately below the ground. The big man in black nodded slightly at the old man, and disappeared together with everyone else.
“Yao’s only child is dead. He died in Lyu Liang’s hands. Milord can carry on with the next step.” The old man took out a small gray ball and said in a deep voice, while crushing it.
“Uncle Qing, between us, I still like you calling me Xiaohai…” Zhao Yunhai’s voice appeared from the ball, “Yao’s bastard deserves it!” “If it were not for him allowing Lyu Liang to grab the handle, you would have long succeeded with your manpower!” “Withdraw now. What we need to do is let this matter be made known!”
“Demon Realm’s people has made their move. At least before Lyu Liang enters the Heavenly Alliance, Hell Organization has no chance to do anything.” The old man paused and said, “Now we shall wait for the reaction of Sanctuary and Night Dragon!”
“…Uncle Qing, pass on my orders. From now on, Hell Organization shall stop all their actions against Lyu Liang.” Zhao Yunhai’s voice turned cruel as he smiled, “We will fully assist the Ji Clan and Yao Clan in their mission of killing Wen Xiaojing!” “Only after she dies, will Lyu Liang lose all his chances of success!”
…
As the news of Lyu Liang killing Yao Wenlong gradually spread to the Goddess Nyu Wa space, inside a space crack in the Void of the forbidden area, Remote Antiquity, there was a bizarre but magnificent peak.
This peak was covered with snow all year round, and frequently rumbled with the sound of thunder. Even powerful figures at the Divine Ancestor had to stop thousands of feet away. Because if he went one step closer, he would be attacked by an Emperor Level soul-breaking thunder.
As for the age of this peak and what was in it, no one knew. At present, the only thing that everyone knew was its name, Buzhou Mountain.
At the moment, inside Buzhou Mountain, there was a thatched cottage that looked a bit out of place. An old man was drinking tea leisurely. If Lyu Liang were here, he would recognize this person instantly He once saw this old man with white whiskers in the ancient battle illusion in civilization remains! Opposite him was Liu Jiatan, who was all smiles!
“With your status, you do not have to be so humble.” “After all, even I have to respect the person behind you!” The old man smiled.
“Ancestor Candle Dragon, that’s not the case. The person behind me is not me. Though you respected me, do I know my value?” Liu Jiatan replied respectfully.
“Fine, I don’t like nonsense. Why are you looking for me? What do you want?” The old man put down his tea cup, while his eyes brightened. “You even used the only talisman that I gave you to enter Buzhou Mountain. I believe you are not here just to visit me!” “By the way, if it’s about that ‘Canon of Wildness’, you are wasting your time. I will not interfere with that.”
“No!” Liu Jiatan shook his head and moved further, “it’s nothing about that book!” “Ancestor, I’m here to borrow someone from you!” “No one in particular, as long as it is one of the ancestor bodies in your upper-grade display cabinet. ”
“Eh?” The old man stood up upon hearing his request. His eyes shone as he asked with a hint of excitement, “How dare you find me to borrow an ancestor body?” “Did you find the trace of that Antiquity Mo Jiao?”
“We did not find the deity. It has been hiding for tens of thousands of years and is not that easily discovered.” Liu Jiatan laughed bitterly and then whispered, “However, I found a person with the Soul Bone!” “More importantly, from the message I got from my spy in Demons Valley, not only does he have the Soul Bone, but he also has nine strands of gold fur…”
“Nine strands, are you sure it is nine strands!” The old man was no longer calm and emitted a weird and cold aura. Especially after seeing the other person nodding, he laughed happily, “Hahaha!” “How lucky I am!” “I have no love for things in this world, but now I am receiving the message of the Antiquity Mo Jiao again!” “Good!” “Good!” “Very good!”
“Ancestor, so do you agree to let me borrow an ancestor body?” “To be honest, the kid was too strong, and even had a large number of Spirit Swallowing Bugs as his help, so I had no choice, but to ask help from you!” Liu Jiatan respectfully cupped his fists and said, “I only wanted a bit of the Soul Bone, I have no intention of getting the Antiquity!”
“Okay, I understand what you mean!” “Good boy, how dare you to set me up!” “But I like it!” The old man was in a good mood, but then he smiled mysteriously, “The only thing I am curious about is who thought of involving me in this matter. Is it the person behind you?” “And who do you really represent?”
Liu Jiatan’s expression remained the same, then he chuckled, “Since the ancestor understood, I won’t have to worry about what happens after that!” “I have taken up too much of your time and I hope you will not mind. I shall leave now!” Having said that, he bowed again, respectfully, before he left.
A moment later, outside Buzhou Mountain, Liu Jiatan’s lonely figure emerged. He grinned and muttered to himself, “It’s done for Buzhou Mountain.” “The rest will be on Pan Gu cave!” “As long as you are all alive, Goddess Nyu Wa, who has been in hiding, will reveal itself!” “Don’t think that you can repay the debt you owe in the past when you escaped from the world. We will use our hands to clear your crimes…”
