Chapter 146 Into the Family’s Pedigree
Moments later, Xu Mubai brought Lyu Liang back to the buildings and caves. While they descended, Lyu Liang asked curiously, “Elder brother, isn’t the Blood Divine Sect in Sishui Country? Why did you move it to Tianshui Country?”
“After the war began, for the convenience of communication and taking better care of one another, several strong forces moved to Tianshui Country, and the Blood Divine Sect was one of them.” After Xu Mubai finished, he looked guilty and whispered, “Third brother, I know that the Blood Divine Sect owes you for what happened before, I will…”
“Elder brother, you do not need to say that! I have already let go of that grievance. In particular, I also killed two of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect. The person who injured my mother was one of them, and that was enough compensation. Let’s get over this matter! We are life-and-death brothers, and we are now fighting the enemy together. By all means, I shall not linger on what has happened in the past!” Lyu Liang knew what Xu Mubai’s meant, and he had indeed let go of this grievance that had spanned tens of thousands of years.
Xu Mubai nodded hard, and his face showed a relieved expression.
After the two entered the Blood Divine Sect, Lyu Liang b.u.mped into the four of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect that remained. While they were still a little embarra.s.sed, Lyu Liang held his fists first, smiled, and greeted them. Then Xu Mubai announced to the entire Blood Divine Sect that from now on, be it Lyu Liang or the Xuanli Clan, all grievances would be gone with the wind!
While Lyu Liang listened, his thoughts drifted to the Lyu family in Sishui. He wondered how his own family was doing during this war. Later on, when he got the chance, he would ask Xu Mubai for details.
The two went to the main hall of the Blood Divine Sect, where Xu Mubai did not delay and waved his hand. A huge cyan scroll unfolded out of thin air with a map on it, and three black spots were gleaming.
“Third brother, these three black spots are the locations of the Ghostly Fire Palace, the Sun-Moon Palace, and the w.a.n.gui Sect. The pa.s.sage from the other world to the Wufang Territory is located in the Ghostly Fire Palace. We attacked there once and tried to destroy the pa.s.sage. But the three parties were relying on each other, and there was a strong protective formation outside the Ghostly Fire Palace, so we failed.” Xu Mubai frowned while he introduced the situation.
Lyu Liang examined it for a while and said, “Elder brother, I think we still need to start from the Ghostly Fire Palace, but instead of a team, I will go alone this time! You should know that the protective Bounded Domain has no effect on me.”
“This… to be honest, is contradictory. Although I have never seen your strength, it is fascinating from the rumors outside. In addition, you destroyed the pa.s.sage in the Tianyuan Territory, and you do have the ability to accomplish this difficult task. However, the power of the Ghostly Fire Palace is not weak. Even if you got in, you do not know about the situation inside. If something were to go wrong, it would be too late to regret it!” Xu Mubai hesitated. He had finally united with his brother, and in the blink of an eye, he had to go do a task that left little chance of survival, so he felt uneasy.
“Rest a.s.sured, elder brother, a gentleman will not stand under a rocky wall, and I will be careful. Moreover, I can give you a hint. I have an inside line in the Ghostly Fire Palace. I will ask her to help me at that time. However, I hope you will keep this a secret. No one else should know about it except us. That includes the second brother. His mind is simple, and if the information is leaked out, everything will become troublesome.” Lyu Liang had made up his mind. Anyway, he knew clearly about his strength, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to ascertain Yang Ying’s situation.
Xu Mubai contemplated for a while, then put his hands on Lyu Liang’s shoulders, pressed hard twice, and said, “Be careful, and you must know that there are always people stronger than you. If you can’t complete the task, retreat in time, we can always make another plan!”
Lyu Liang also nodded solemnly in response. After the most important thing was finished, Lyu Liang also asked about the matters of the Lyu family, which he worried about.
After Xu Mubai finished listening, his look was a bit complicated and he sighed. “Even if you don’t ask, I will tell you. The enemy, the w.a.n.gui Sect’s position is very close to Sishui Country, so a lot of battles happened there. After I left with the Blood Divine Sect, the weighty responsibility of resisting foreign enemies fell on the three famous clans…”
Upon saying this, the look on Xu Mubai’s face became more severe, and it seemed that he was wondering how to continue his words.
Lyu Liang took a deep breath and held his shoulder and said, “Elder brother, tell me the truth, I can bear it! Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Nether Big World, I will make them pay the price they deserve!”
Xu Mubai nodded and continued, “Okay! I’ll say it! The three famous sects had now lost one-third of their people. The Lyu family and the Yu family suffered the greatest losses. Nine Almighty Immortals died from both families combined, including the Ancestor from the Yu family. On the Lyu family’s side, Ancestor Lyu Hong was seriously injured a hundred years ago. His second brother and third brother died subsequently, and his third son, Lyu Lixin, also died 10 years before you came back.”
Even though Lyu Liang had prepared himself already, he was still dumbfounded by the words. Then, as two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, he looked up to the sky and made a sorrowful roar, gritted his teeth, and said, “w.a.n.gui Sect! You had better wait! I, Lyu Liang, vow to wipe out your entire sect! Elder Brother, what is the overall situation in Sishui Country now?”
Xu Mubai continued, “Since five years ago, the Immortal Allies sent a team of Almighty Immortals and brought a large ancient protective formation. Only then was the situation considered stabilized.”
At this time, Lyu Liang already had a plan in mind, so he calmed down his emotions and whispered, “Elder brother, I am going to Sishui Country now. I have a method that can harm the base of the w.a.n.gui Sect in an instant. I want to use the strength of you and my second brother to help me kill them! Even if they can’t be completely destroyed, we will make them lose their ability to invade again!”
Xu Mubai was stunned for a moment, and then determination flashed through his eyes as he said firmly, “Wait for the second brother to come, we’ll do it together!”
Speak of the devil, the moment Xu Mubai’s words fell, he heard Li Wuyi’s loud voice. “What do you have for us to plan together? Have you set the target for us to attack?”
Lyu Liang looked where the sound came from and saw Li Wuyi approaching with a smile. Beside him was a beautiful woman in a blue dress. She was Chishui Fairy from the Wanxiang Sect, who once had an alliance with them.
Xu Mubai and Lyu Liang walked toward them together, then Lyu Liang smiled and bowed. “So, Chishui Fairy is now my sister-in-law, here I am to greet you!”
Chishui Fairy smiled and said, “I can’t afford a bow from you. You are no longer the kid at the Gold Core stage, you have become a legendary figure now. You guys seemed to be in a serious talk just now about the upcoming plan.”
Then, Lyu Liang told them about the plan to wipe out the w.a.n.gui Sect with their cooperation. Then the four of them discussed some details. Li Wuyi looked at Chishui Fairy and giggled the entire time. He only said “hmm” or “okay”. Chishui Fairy, however, had a lot of useful suggestions regarding the plan.
An hour later, Lyu Liang went to Sishui Country first, and Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi still had to discuss the matter of the supporting forces.
Tianshui Country was very close to Sishui Country, it only took a few hours for Lyu Liang to fly into the range of Sishui Country. Before he had the time to detect the position of the Lyu family, he felt a chaotic fighting atmosphere. Without any thoughts, he rushed to that place.
Above the forest, three black-robed people at the Early-stage of Fairy Immortal were attacking 10 blue-robed teenagers, the highest of which was only at the Late-stage of Void Return. They hid inside a circular golden shield that blocked the colorful sword lights smashing against it.
Lyu Liang glared and did not even wear his Spirit Armor. He directly burst out the aura of a Late-stage of Fairy Immortal and rushed over.
After the black-robed people felt his aura, they were all shocked. But before they could react, all three of their heads were displaced, and they died in a breath’s time!
The 10 people inside the shield had yet to see what happened, and the three enemies were killed strangely. It was not until they saw Lyu Liang’s figure emerge that they understood what was going on. They immediately removed the protection shield and paid their respects to the benefactor in front of them.
“Senior, thank you for your help! We are the patrol team of the Yu family of Sishui, and we went a bit far today. We didn’t expect we’d be watched by people from the w.a.n.gui Sect. If it wasn’t for you senior, we might not have left this place alive!” A handsome green-robed man, who was the leader, respectfully bowed.
Lyu Liang stared for a while and helped the young man up, then smiled and said, “Brother Yu, did you forget me?”
The young man was stunned and jerked his head up, and then his eyes showed a look of disbelief along with an ecstatic color. He grabbed Lyu Liang’s arm and laughed loudly. “Lyu Liang! You are brother Lyu Liang! Hahaha, I heard that there’s a legendary powerful figure who has killed a thousand also named Lyu Liang, so that’s you!”
The young man was no other than Yu Jun, who was Lyu Liang’s peer in the same sect. He was now at the Late-stage of Void Return.
When Lyu Liang saw his acquaintance, he was overjoyed as well. The two of them chatted for a while, and under the guidance of Yu Jun, Lyu Liang entered Sishui Country smoothly.
Today, in Sishui Country, it was still bustling with people and transportation. Looking at the cultivators and mortals who had relaxing smiles on their faces, Lyu Liang felt proud of what the three sects had done!
The news that Lyu Liang was going to see the Lyu family had been spread all over by those from the Yu family who went back earlier. Although Lyu Liang’s ident.i.ty had not been made public, some perceptive old foxes had already sensed the meaning behind it. The actions of the Lyu family’s Ancestor, Lyu Hong, made everyone understand what was happening.
The moment Lyu Liang saw the periphery of the Lyu family home, several figures emerged from inside. In the front was a white-haired, bearded old man, who had tears in his eyes. Behind him was Lyu Liren, Lyu Liang’s father, whom he had yearned to see!
Lyu Liang stood in the air, dumbfounded, and his mind was blank. He had wondered whether his father had returned to the Lyu family, but the subsequent joys and sorrows did not give him the time to think about it in detail. When he saw his father suddenly, he became like a helpless child, not knowing how to express his feelings.
“Bad boy! How dare you! Come and see your grandfather!” Although Lyu Liren’s scolding resounded, he had already burst into tears.
Lyu Liang’s heart was filled in an instant. He jumped a few steps forward, kneeled down, and choked out his words. “Dad! Gr-grandpa! I am not filial…”
Lyu Hong held Lyu Liang up and laughed excitedly. “From today onward, my family can finally publicly announce that Lyu Liang is my grandson, who has been stranded outside!” After that, he coughed incessantly.
Lyu Liang hurriedly helped his grandfather. He took out a golden medicinal pill from his bag and handed it over. “Grandpa, take this medicinal pill, it helps repair the Qi Meridian and stabilize the Divine Soul!”
Later on, Lyu Liang met with his father and learned that after Xu Mubai took over the Blood Divine Sect, Lyu Hong brought him back to the Lyu family publicly.
At this time, Lyu Hong’s eyes beamed and he said, “Let’s go, Liang! I knew that you would return to the Lyu family, so I have already prepared the ceremony. We shall go back and start it!” After that, he took the medicinal pill given by Lyu Liang, then laughed and brought everyone back home.
“Ceremony? Is it a welcoming ceremony for me?” Lyu Liang whispered to his father beside him.
Lyu Liren smacked Lyu Liang’s head, looking at him as if he were an idiot, and said, “Bad boy! How did you become such a well-known hero with such a stupid brain! Your grandfather started to prepare your ancestral grand ceremony the moment news about you spread out from the Tianyuan Territory!”
Lyu Liang was shocked, and his tears almost fell down. “Recognized as an ancestor and into the family’s pedigree? I… I’m… Oh, right! Dad, mom has now reshaped the soul body, which was in a secret s.p.a.ce that I had with me. When I chase off these invaders attacking our hometown, I will go find the secret treasure that can shape the body. At that time, it will not be far from the day we truly reunite!”
Lyu Liren’s eyes also showed an excited look. He said, “Good,” three times consecutively, then laughed and brought Lyu Liang to catch up with the big team in front.
An hour later, although the sun had set, there were a lot of people in the Lyu family’s yard, and lights were everywhere. Under the Lyu family Ancestor’s supervision, Lyu Liang’s ancestral grand ceremony ended in a happy, joyful, and pleasant atmosphere.
Now, Lyu Liang had finally solved one of the most important knots in the bottom of his heart.
