Chapter 215 A Rare Opportunity
Yang Dingtian rose hard with a golden medicinal pill in his hand. Then, he raised his head and swallowed it, gradually smoothening his aura.
Lyu Liang did not know what to do. Upon seeing the man’s broken arm, he actually wanted to give him a Tianxuan Holy Rattan.
However, Yang Dingtian seemed to know what Lyu Liang was thinking about. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t say anything or give me anything. I don’t have much time left. Before fighting with you, I set a s.p.a.ce restriction formation. When the pa.s.sage is destroyed, all our people who are alive will be transferred through another pa.s.sage.”
Lyu Liang had a mixed expression on his face. This man was not only the Palace Lord of the Ghostly Fire Palace, but also Yang Ying’s father. These two contrasting ident.i.ties confused him, as he did not know how to treat him.
“Ho ho… There is another pa.s.sage in the mysterious Sunset Kingdom in the Ghost Realm of this world. It is a supreme two-way pa.s.sage set up by our seniors. Your cultivation will not get influenced that way,” Yang Dingtian said softly. Then, he seemed to remember something and added, “Oh yes, the pa.s.sage was once sealed up, but it was unsealed. Any cultivators at the Almighty Immortal level came from there.”
Stunned, Lyu Liang thought of Xu Chongzhi, who had disappeared suddenly. It was said that the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage in the Sunset Kingdom was linked to the Nether Big World and had been sealed up by Bai Wanying with her own body.
After Xu Chongzhi had managed to obtain all the life-bonded divine weapons from the five Creators, he probably had gone to save Bai Wanying. Somehow, no one had heard of him again.
Lyu Liang settled down and asked, “If the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage is not blocked, will you attack this world from there?”
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said softly, “It’s the Dark Reign’s order to attack the Chaotic World to contend for more living s.p.a.ce. However, strangely, nearly 80 percent of our cultivators are merely second-cla.s.s forces. Less than 20 percent are first-cla.s.s, but they have not exerted much effort. None of the top forces have taken part in the war!”
Lyu Liang was stunned. Then, a gloomy expression appeared on his face. He could feel that there was a conspiracy behind this event! No wonder that he had destroyed the three major powers of the Wufang Territory alone—all of them had hidden their real strength!
Yang Dingtian, who seemed to know what Lyu Liang was thinking about, went on. “The Ghostly-Fire Twelve Lords are upper-middle existences of the first-cla.s.s forces. The four people you met just now are at the medium level of the first-cla.s.s forces of the Sun-Moon Palace. All these people I mentioned are at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal.”
Just as Lyu Liang was about to ask more, the whole palace began shaking violently. Then, Yang Dingtian’s figure started to become vague. Before he disappeared, he shouted, “Please don’t tell Ying’er about my ident.i.ty. If she goes to the Nether Big World with you, I will tell her everything that happened to me…”
Then, with a thud, the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage disappeared along with Yang Dingtian, leaving Lyu Liang behind. He let out a deep sigh, feeling mixed emotions internally.
Lyu Liang kept Yang Dingtian’s words in mind. Actually, he did not know how to tell Yang Ying about that.
In Yang Ying’s opinion, her parents might have died after offending a power of the Nether Big World. If Lyu Liang told her that her father was alive and he was the Palace Lord of the Ghostly Fire Palace, how would Yang Ying react?
Lyu Liang’s emotional intelligence was so low that he was not good at comforting other people at all. After thinking for a while, he decided to conceal this fact. If Yang Dingtian told her about that in person, she would feel much better.
At the moment, Huangfu Gang came over. He shrugged and said, “One was killed, and the other three disappeared when the shaking started.”
“Master, I am sorry… When I was about to defeat that guy, he disappeared suddenly…” Nie Qingyun, who had also arrived, looked really sad. Upon thinking about what he had promised, his cheeks flushed red.
Lyu Liang introduced them to each other and the three of them flew out before the palace collapsed.
Outside the palace, the war was nearing its end. When Lyu Liang showed up, cheers burst out promiscuously. Gradually, they turned to a chorus. “Lyu Liang! Lyu Liang!”
Even though Lyu Liang’s Taoist Heart was firm and tenacious, upon facing such an enthusiastic atmosphere, he could not help but feel excited. All he could do was take a bow before the crowd.
There was excitement in his eyes as Nie Qingyun stood behind Lyu Liang and nodded firmly.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Gang just smiled carefreely and disappeared in the crowd.
The 100-year war finally ended, and constant celebrations followed.
Without a doubt, Lyu Liang was the greatest hero of this war. Although he denied this and insisted that this success had been achieved by all the cultivators in the Chaotic World, people still gave him the largest proportion of praise.
During the next three days, Lyu Liang declined many invitations, except the invitations of his brothers and his companions.
Lyu Liang planned on talking with Huangfu Gang about the thing related to the Devil Realm. After all, he had learned from the founding father of Sword Character that the war had not really ended. The Devil Realm had to be held accountable for its behavior. Even if Lyu Liang’s side did not launch a great war, they would definitely make the Devil Realm pay its debt!
Lyu Liang and Huangfu Gang were pleased about this situation. After all, no matter how powerful they were, they were not able to rival all the influential families in the Devil Realm…
However, before they could work out a specific plan, Lyu Liang received a mysterious letter that changed his mind at once: “Go to the Central Heaven District of the Pangu Origin World! Now!”
“Aim: Save Zhu Yu and Zheng Xuan!”
…
Four days after the war ended, while Lyu Liang and Huangfu Gang were talking, they paused suddenly and waved out a flash of light to blow up the door of the cave residence.
“So fast!” they thought. They did that because they had sensed that someone was at the door!
This feeling was bad—the newcomer had to be a stranger!
When Lyu Liang rushed to the door, he only found a letter on the ground. After he made sure that there was no danger, he took a glance at the letter and then opened his eyes wide! With a deep sigh, he looked back at Huangfu Gang and cupped his hands as he said, “Brother Huangfu, I have to postpone the plan. I have something very important to do that will take nearly half a month. Please forgive me!”
Huangfu Gang just nodded and said calmly, “I have been waiting for nearly 1,000 years. Half a month is nothing for me. However, you seem very anxious after reading this letter. Is there a difficulty? I do not mean to be meddlesome. However, since we have the same aim, if it’s hard for you to solve this problem alone, I am willing to help you!”
The letter only contained one sentence. “Zhu Yu and Zheng Xuan are trapped in the Million Buddhist Sect and have only half a month left to live.”
According to what Zhu Yu had told him, Lyu Liang realized that he was there to fetch the two Million-Spirit Blood Pearls. However, he had not expected that Zhu Yu, who had Zheng Xuan’s help, would face such a desperate situation. While thinking about that, he could not help but gasp.
Indeed, he needed help.
Lyu Liang did not expect to solve the problem alone, which troubled Zhu Yu and Zheng Xuan. However, it was not easy to ask for help. That was the top power of the Pangu Origin world, so behind it was the giant Heavenly Alliance. Since he had just escaped the chase of the Soul Detention Order, it would only cause other people great trouble if he asked them to antagonize the Heavenly Alliance with him.
Huangfu Gang? Judging by his background, he was indeed a suitable candidate. It seemed that the h.e.l.l Organization was against the Heavenly Alliance. However, Lyu Liang did not want to get him into trouble.
While Lyu Liang was hesitating, Huangfu Gang said seriously, “As you said, we are temporary allies. Now that your business may influence our alliance, I just want to help myself. Besides, I believe that I am very good at escaping!”
Alright! He would just owe him a favor! Lyu Liang made his decision and told Huangfu Gang everything.
“I see! Let’s go together! Since the h.e.l.l Organization and the Heavenly Alliance are deadly foes, I do not mind counting myself in!” Huangfu Gang, who had an expectant look on his face, did not hesitate at all.
Now that he had such a powerful ally, Lyu Liang felt very relieved. They returned to the cave residence at once and began discussing how to infiltrate the Million Buddhist Sect…
At the same time, apart from Lyu Liang, many other people were planning the same thing…
…
In the Central Heaven District of the Pangu Origin world, the figures of Liu Jiawen and Liu Jiahao appeared.
“Brother, I plan to probe around the Million Buddhist Sect in disguise. You can go to a market to gather information!”
“Are you sure that it’s the Million Buddhist Sect that the sh.e.l.l sensed? You can go there, but remember not to fight with other people! This is the domain of the Heavenly Alliance, so be careful not to get yourself into trouble!”
“I see! I’ll just walk around. Don’t worry!”
“It seems that Lyu Liang does not need the Void Magic Pill anymore. Are you sure we should not inform him? With his help, the chances of saving them would increase!”
“He just escaped the chase of the Soul Detention Order, so I do not want to get him into trouble again! This is the business of the Remote Antiquity families!”
…
In the Southern Heaven District of the Pangu Origin world, two figures appeared on remote mountains. One of them was a handsome young man dressed gorgeously, and the other was a gray-robed old man.
“Youfu! Youfu! We succeeded! Hahaha! Is this the Mortal World? It looks good! I can feel the aura of freedom! Go! Let’s go to the Million Buddhist Sect now!”
“Childe, how about we go back now? I feel a grim sense of foreboding! Don’t you think we went down too easily? Would Immortal General ‘Flying Dragon’ not notice that? I think…”
“Well! I know Brother Han well! He never deceives me!” “When we slid down, he was summoned by the Divine Ancestor! Don’t be so suspicious! Hurry up and take us there through your teleportation method. Saving people is more important than anything!”
…
In a secret chamber in the Divine Phoenix Sect of the Western-Heaven District, the leader of the Divine Phoenix Sect was discussing something secretly with a man in a bamboo hat.
“Wu, are you sure that Lyu Liang will help save them?”
“Yes! Although we do not have much contact with him, he is indeed a loyal friend. He won’t sit by while our brother is in trouble!”
“Alas! I did not expect that we would all be deceived by Tianchi! He made us fetch the false pearls and then tempted our brother into getting the real ones!”
“Don’t think about it anymore. Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen have come to the Mortal World and I have informed them. I hope that, with Lyu Liang’s help, we will save our brother!”
“Alright. In that case, let’s go to the Central Heaven District now and prepare!”
…
In the Central Heaven District, the Holy-Fist Palace had become an empty sh.e.l.l. Except for several disciples, over 90 percent of its people had left.
Suddenly, a white-robed man appeared, staring sadly at the Million Buddhist Sect. The next moment, another figure emerged beside him. It was a masked female with long blue hair that hung down smoothly.
“Although I have cast aside the family’s glory, I cannot ignore my family members! I will not hinder you, but you must bring her to me afterward!”
“I see. Master also messaged me the same. Anyway, I will do that for you. I’m glad to know that an influential figure like you can take over!”
“As your master expected, Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen also interfered. Do you still want to go there in person, even though they have met you once?”
“Of course, I will go there to save people. Even if any accidents happen, they’ll have nothing to do with me! I will sow the seed of Blue-Soul Blood. No one will notice, just as master has antic.i.p.ated!”
…
In the Ru Yi Sect, the second power of the Central Heaven District, Bloodthirsty Shura, had been staying in the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance ever since he had failed to hunt down Lyu Liang. No one knew what he was planning.
At the moment, Tianshu Master, the temporary leader of the sect, was having a secret discussion with the Heaven Obsess Master and the Illusion Master in the main hall.
“So, are you willing to offer me your help?”
“Zhu Yu is easier to deal with, but Zheng Xuan used to be the Immortal General, and Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen are the core figures of the Liu family. This is such a tricky situation! However, the Ru Yi Sect is willing to offer its help!”
“Now that you have agreed, there’s no reason for the Virtual Valley to flinch! Let’s just gather all the other sects who have been harmed by the Heavenly Alliance on our side. After all, this is a key war that concerns our core task!”
