Chapter 145 Brother Reunion
Ace team? Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment and followed everyone out of the Immortal Palace, staring into the distance.
A group of strange-looking guys approached. Lyu Liang examined them and found that it was dozens of giant puppets! Even the worst puppet was at the Middle-stage of Almighty Immortal. Especially the puppet leader, which had three heads and six arms and a height of 88 feet! It exuded an aura at the Early-stage of Tao Master! Even Lyu Liang felt it inconceivable!
“Motherf****r! Those black-robed people escaped so fast. If I had not rushed here to help, I would have killed more of them! Senior Sword Character! In such broad light, not even a black hair was left. Why did you ask for help!” A loud voice with a little dissatisfaction sounded from the leading puppet.
The founding father of Sword Character smiled but did not answer and Lyu Liang trembled in excitement. Listening to the familiar “Motherf****r”, he blurted out, “Second brother! I am back!”
The moment his voice fell, the giant puppet disappeared suddenly and was replaced by Li Wuyi, who was very excited! Flying toward Lyu Liang, he shouted through tears, “Third brother! Third brother! I know that your life is harder than anyone else’s! Hahaha!”
Lyu Liang also flew out, and the two brothers clung tightly together, shedding tears of excitement.
After a while, Li Wuyi wiped his eyes and laughed. “Third brother, don’t let them laugh at us! Let go to the Xianfu Teahouse to chat! We do need to have a good chat! I haven’t been this happy in a long time!”
Lyu Liang nodded and asked, “Second brother, where is the elder brother? Is he ok? Where is he now?”
Li Wuyi was stunned by Lyu Liang’s words, so he asked in confusion, “You still treat him as an elder brother? He’s hurt you and sister-in-law, don’t you hate him?”
Lyu Liang grinned and said, “Xu Chongzhi is the one that hurt me. Our elder brother is Xu Mubai. They are the same, yet different. Although Ying’er and I suffered, my current strength and opportunity that I got later were also because of him. Apart from everything else, Xu Mubai will always be my elder brother!”
Li Wuyi looked up to the sky and sighed. “I knew that you would still treat him as a brother when you came back. Therefore, although we fought many times, we did not intend to kill one another. We were probably waiting for you to get back and make the decision. Come, let go and find him!”
When Lyu Liang heard the words, he asked hurriedly, “You fought with elder brother? What happened? Are you injured?”
Li Wuyi laughed loudly and said, “Since I was able to control the Three-emperor Puppet 500 years ago, that is, the big guy you saw, I have fought with Xu Mubai every 10 years. Anyway, we end in a draw. Up till now, there have probably been a hundred fights already!”
Lyu Liang asked no more. He first returned to Sword Character Immortal Palace and told the founding father of Sword Character his intentions. Then, along with Li Wuyi, he flew to the market place of Tianshui Country.
A moment later, in a valley not far from the Sword Character Immortal Palace, there were several different types of cave residences and buildings.
The moment Lyu Liang and Li Wuyi appeared, Li Wuyi strained his neck and shouted, “Xu, come out now!”
A voice was heard before someone appeared. “Second brother, here you are again! Why are you so early this time? Didn’t we just fight five years ago? Eh? Beside you is the… third, third brother…”
“Haha, you are shocked, aren’t you! Motherf****r, for once, you are shocked! Hurry up, he still treats you as an elder brother, don’t be so sentimental!” Li Wuyi was so proud of himself.
Tears welled up in Xu Mubai’s eyes, and he emerged in front of them in an instant. Simultaneously, Lyu Liang and he shouted at the same time, “Elder brother!” “Third brother!”
Then, the two hugged together, and Li Wuyi, who was off to the side, cried as well. While wiping his nose, he cried and laughed. “Since the third brother still recognizes you, elder brother, I shall not say anything. Hit me because I have offended you so many times before! I will not resist!”
Xu Mubai and Lyu Liang held out one hand at the same time and pulled Li Wuyi in. Without any words, the three people clung together tightly, and they all smiled and wept.
30 minutes later, three respected guests appeared in a private room of the Xianfu Teahouse in Tianshui Country.
“Look, look! It is Chief Xu! He is still so hot and handsome. I wonder if he has a Taoist companion!”
“Even if he doesn’t, you have no chance. Have you ever seen him interested in anyone? But the playboy-looking guy on his left, do you know him? He is the leader of the now famous ‘puppet team’!”
“Who is the guy sitting with them? He looks foreign to me.”
“Quiet! Let me tell you! The silly-looking, white-robed guy may be the most famous one in the future! My eldest brother from Sword Character Immortal Palace said that he was the one who overturned the battlefield the day before and gained victory in the battle!”
…
Unknowingly, Lyu Liang and the two others had become famous in the Wufang Territory. However, for now, they were completely immersed in the joy of their reunion.
The three of them seemed to have countless things to talk about. They spoke of their encounters and what happened before. For three days and nights, the Xianfu Teahouse was filled with joyful laughter and shouting from time to time.
Lyu Liang also had a clear outline of some important events that occurred during the period when he left the Chaotic World.
First of all, less than a hundred years after Lyu Liang entered the Pangu Origin world, Xu Chongzhi, the Chief of the Blood Divine Sect, went missing, and Xu Mubai was left to manage the entire sect. According to Xu Mubai, he probably went to the Ghost Realm to save Bai Wanying. But up until now, no one had seen him nor heard any news about him. Even their double-soul sensation disappeared completely about a thousand years ago. The only thing that could be determined was that Xu Chongzhi was still alive.
Secondly, Li Wuyi was now the temporary Chief of the Wanxiang Sect! He relied on the Mysterious Soul Body, which had no bottlenecks, and reached the Early-stage of Almighty Immortal 500 years ago. Although his strength was limited, he had integrated with the Three-emperor Puppet perfectly and now had the strength at the Early-stage of Tao Master. The puppet troop had played the main role in the battles of the Mortal Realm.
Finally, it was about the general trend in the Mortal Realm. As the people in the Nether Big World mainly came through the Devil Realm, the adjacent Canglan Territory suffered the most significant losses. At present, the entire territory was being entirely occupied by the enemy. Only the Wanxiang Sect resisted for a while because of its strength and heritage. However, because the enemies outnumbered them, under Li Wuyi’s lead, they all moved to the Wufang Territory and merged with the fighting team from the Immortal Allies.
At this point in the conversation, the three brothers also began to discuss the current situation.
“At present, the most important battlefields between the two worlds are still at the junction of the Canglan Territory and the Jibo Territory, where at least 80% of the enemy and our teams are focused. At the beginning of the enemy’s invasion, the powerful figures of the Heaven Realm seemed to have expected something and isolated the Jibo Territory and the Canglan Territory from the other territories. Besides the three transmission formations in the Jibo Territory, there are no other ways to go to other territories.” While listening to Xu Mubai’s explanation, Lyu Liang’s mind calmed down.
“Why didn’t the powerful figures of the Heaven Realm help kill the invaders? Are they…” A thought flashed through Lyu Liang’s mind while he asked this question, and he seemed to know the reason.
Xu Mubai nodded. “Yes! In the first five years of the war, with the help of the Devil Clan, the powerful figures from the other world opened the pa.s.sage to the Heaven Realm, but they did not invade it. They only sent a representative and made a contract with the Heaven Realm of our side. The war in the Mortal World shall not involve any Tao Masters or those at levels beyond that! It is said that the powerful figures of the Heavenly Alliance acknowledged this silently. Thus, by now, both warring parties are at the Mortal World level.”
“Motherf****r, if I am to comment, those people from the Heaven Realm are just cowards who live comfortably! It is a pity that my puppet team is at the Almighty Immortal level aside from me. If they were all above the Tao Master level, after we cleared out these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds below, I would take everyone directly to the Heaven Realm!” Li Wuyi glared and banged the table, making the other two brothers shake their heads and smile bitterly.
“Third brother, you have just reached here, so I shall tell you about the situation in the Wufang Territory. Since the pa.s.sage appeared in the Wufang Territory, nearly 3,000 invaders had come here. It was the territory with the most enemies aside from the main battlefield in the Jibo Territory. There were three main forces, respectively, the Sun-Moon Palace, the Ghostly Fire Palace, and the w.a.n.gui Sect. The enemy that you helped Sword Character Immortal Palace defeat is from the w.a.n.gui Sect.” Xu Mubai’s words made Lyu Liang’s heart quicken a beat, and he immediately thought of Yang Ying. “Isn’t she one of the 12 Star Lords of the Ghostly Fire Palace?”
Lyu Liang put aside his thoughts temporarily, and asked, “The number of people I saw before was five times what the Sword Character Immortal Palace had. How could that happen?”
Li Wuyi banged the table again and ranted, “The b.a.s.t.a.r.ds framed us! They first provoked a war in the west, and we got reports that nearly 90% of the enemy was there, so everyone thought that the enemy was giving it their last shot! But when we reached that place and fought, we found that those black-robed people were just shadow images! Not long after our fight, Sword Character Immortal Palace sought us for help, and so we rushed back. But we did not expect the crisis to be solved before we reached them! By the way, your strength is probably the most powerful among the three of us.”
Just when Lyu Liang shook his hands, Xu Mubai also smiled and said, “Don’t be so humble! Before you went to the Pangu Origin world, you were only at the Gold Core stage. After all these years, you can kill enemies at the Peak of Almighty Immortal instantly. Not just comparing among us, you are in the top range throughout the entire Mortal Realm!”
Lyu Liang shook his head bitterly and said softly, “Brothers, we can’t just let the enemy lead the way, right? Maybe we can consider attacking them. What are their positions in the Wufang Territory?”
Xu Mubai nodded, stood up, and said, “You are right. I hesitated before about whether to do this or not, but now that you are back, I think we can start. This is not the place to discuss it. Follow me back to the main section of the Blood Divine Sect, we shall discuss it in detail!”
Li Wuyi raised his head and drank the last mouthful of the wine, and got up as well. “You guys go ahead. Anyway, I am only responsible for the fight. Don’t ask me about anything that requires thinking. I will go to the Immortal Allies now to ask for a leave and also bring my wife here.” When he finished, his body moved and disappeared.
Lyu Liang became curious and asked Xu Mubai, “Elder brother, what is the strength of the puppet team of the second brother? I heard that it is called the ace team? Also, he even has a Taoist companion now? Who is it?”
Xu Mubai seemed to be in a good mood as he laughed and said, “We have a total of five top-ranking teams in the Chaotic World, and his Wanxiang Sect puppet team is one of them. There are about a hundred people in total. Each one can fight against 10 and can even fight those with higher cultivation levels. His team ranks second among the top five ace teams! The other four teams are also very strong, and you will have a chance to see that. As for your sister-in-law, I shall not tell you. You’ll know it naturally when you see her. She is a friend too! Let’s go and have a detailed discussion on how to counterattack these invaders!”
