Chapter 110—Lyu Liang’s Decision
At this moment, Lyu Liang’s face was gloomy. Although some disciples of Kunlun Sect discovered his whereabouts, they let him mingle with the crowd because of his terrible strength.
A moment later, a golden barrier appeared ahead. Three old Taoists with fairy immortal auras stood before it. One of them said aloud to the rushing crowd, “All disciples stop! Master ancestor has personally gone to the site of the accident to check it out, so you can all go back now!”
Hearing this, the disciples of the Kunlun Sect began to retreat one after another. Finally, only Lyu Liang’s lonely figure resolutely refused to retreat.
The three fairy immortals apparently knew Lyu Liang’s ident.i.ty. One of the old Taoists said softly, “Taoism peer Lyu Liang, please don’t be impatient. When Master Jingxu comes out, the matter will be clarified.”
Now there was no Black and magic treasures. Lyu Liang could only suppress his anxiety and anger and wait firmly in front of the barrier. At the same time, the mind was also thinking quickly about the next countermeasures.
Obviously, some powerful figures of Kunlun Sect were on the side of Supreme Tao Master, and this was a trap. Although it was the most common booty-planting trap, Lyu Liang still had to dig into it. The only thing he wanted to know at present, was Shangguan Ying’s safety. As for the fact, with his understanding of his sweetheart, she must have been maliciously framed!
Lyu Liang’s eyes turned and suddenly he turned around and disappeared from the place. After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn out, he returned to the front of the barrier. He had two ordinary wooden swords on his back.
Without Black’s help, it seemed impossible to cross the barrier in front of him. Lyu Liang had also lost his magic treasures; the Feiling Sword and the Blood-bone Sword were not around. If he were to fight with others, only the Heart Swordsmanship could be used in Sword Tao Field Domain, then his power would be greatly reduced.
Now, Lyu Liang had made two wooden swords for himself. Taking advantage of the present idleness, he slowly injected spiritual qi into them, which could be regarded as low-level magic treasures. At least when activating the field of Sword Tao, the power could be used up to more than half of the usual point, which was at least much stronger than being unarmed.
After another incense-burning time, the golden light curtain suddenly disappeared, and the figure of Jingxu Ancestor emerged. Seeing Lyu Liang, he was not surprised at all, but said lightly, “I’m still late. Somebody was a step ahead and saved the Phoenix Cloth Fairy. However, it has been basically confirmed that she is the main culprit in the murder of Ximen Chunfeng. Since it happened in my Kunlun Sect, we must find out the truth, otherwise we cannot account to the Ximen family.”
Lyu Liang sniffed. He had no expression on his face, but was quietly relieved. He clasped his hands and said softly, “In that case, I would like to leave the Kunlun Sect, but I will not go far. I will only stay at a nearby city. If there’s any news about the Phoenix Cloth Fairy, please let me know. After all, she’s also my nominal Taoist couple.” After that, he turned around and hurried away.
“Master, are you letting him go like this? What about the affairs arranged by our ancestors…” When Lyu Liang’s breath had completely disappeared, a tall fairy immortal questioned.
Jingxu Ancestor shook his head and said softly, “There are high-ranking people who are standing in the way of it, leading to a change in our plans. At least he will not die in the Kunlun Sect until we find the Phoenix Cloth Fairy. Otherwise, we would be in great trouble ourselves, as the two old Kunlun ancestors told me. You can be a.s.sured that the milord in Central Heaven District has planned this very carefully by taking into account every conceivable possibility. These situations are already under his consideration. What we should do now is to wait for further instructions. Besides, we have not used the p.a.w.n that has been arranged for a long time already.”
…………………………
Lyu Liang left the Kunlun Sect without meeting any resistance, and then, as he said, began to wander around the nearby market places. After all, he had no direct conflict with the Kunlun Sect, and Shangguan Ying’s situation was still not clear, so he could not go away.
Lyu Liang could only describe himself as being penniless now. Fortunately, cultivators did not have to eat or sleep, so he did not have to worry about eating and living.
In the evening, it was rare to see anyone in the market places. While Lyu Liang was still idling around, a familiar voice came from his soul, “Kid, go to the fourth floor of Worry-Free Mansion.”
Lyu Liang was overjoyed, as he had recognized the voice of the black-robed man who once reminded him to be careful. Not hesitating any longer, he rushed to the Western Heaven Branch of Worry-Free Mansion.
At this time, the Worry-Free Mansion, although not closed, had very few people in it. When Lyu Liang entered, a waiter in the shop came up and said respectfully, “Your guest, go to fourth floor please, the manager has been waiting for you for a long time!”
A moment later, Lyu Liang went with the waiter to a box on the fourth floor. Strangely, the room was empty. Just when he thought it was a little odd, the waiter behind him, closed the door and put a restriction formation on it.
Lyu Liang turned abruptly. He found that the waiter, who was so respectful a moment ago, was now upright and had an ambiguous aura. He was looking at Lyu Liang with laughter and talking in a voice familiar to him, “Kid, we meet again. I am not hiding my appearance this time! I am Shui Ye, one of the four Dead Heavens of Ma.s.sive Funeral Hall in Central Heaven District. I have intentionally waited for you for a long time.”
Lyu Liang was stunned at first and then bowed down to worship him, “Thank you for your help! This junior is really in a dilemma now. I don’t know where to start.”
Lyu Liang also saw that, although he did not know what level the Ma.s.s Funeral Hall was at, the cultivation level of the man must be much higher than his own.
Shui Ye laughed. “You need not be so courteous. I was entrusted by my master to help you. Of course, I have also observed you for some time before. As a vagrant cultivator coming alone from another big world, your present state does have a bright capital.”
“Well? Do the seniors know where I come from?” Lyu Liang was a little puzzled. Except for Zhu Yan, Yang Ying was the only one who knew about his origins. Now the Ma.s.s Funeral Hall in Central Heaven District did not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp.
“Oh, naturally, my master told me this. However, please be a.s.sured that we have no intention of monitoring you. On the contrary, my master values you very much, so he sent me to observe you first. Originally, I shouldn’t have revealed myself to you, but because your performance in the ceremony of contest for marriage has seriously affected your safety, I had to show up to help.” Shui Ye’s expression gradually became serious, and then he said softly, “I know you can’t give up your Taoism partner. But I can tell you, if you insist on finding her, you are not far from death! If you retire now, it is still not too late!”
Lyu Liang gently smiled and said softly, “Thank you for your kindness. But I have made up my mind. If I cannot get her back, even if I die, I will never give up!”
Looking at Lyu Liang’s calm eyes, the face of Shui Ye showed mixed emotions. After a while, he looked up to heaven and sighed, “If I hadn’t stopped my brother, I would not have let him and Xiaotao be reunited till now. Forget it! I’ll go against the wishes of my master for once. I will help you achieve your goal! I can guide you to meet your lover, but you will have life threatening fears. Would you like to?”
Lyu Liang did not hesitate at all, and said aloud, “Yes! Please tell me clearly how to do it!” He did not mention that he had a life-giving talisman, and even if he didn’t, he would go and explore it for the sake of Shangguan Ying.
A soft light flashed in Shui Ye’s eyes, who then nodded. “Your couple is still in the Kunlun Sect. At that moment, I had time to hide her but I couldn’t bring her out. Calculating the time, the Divine Concealing Qi that I added to her should disappear after an hour. At that time, the Kunlun Sect will certainly not let her go.”
After that, Shui Ye took out a gray face mask from his chest and threw it to Lyu Liang, and said in a low voice, “Put this on and you’ll see where she is. At the same time, you will become a disciple of Kunlun Sect for only an hour. I only have this one, and it can only be used by men. Otherwise, I won’t have to bother you so much.”
Lyu Liang was very happy. He took the mask carefully and then thanked Shui Ye respectfully. “Thank you for your generous gift!” After that, he turned around and left. Hearing that Shangguan Ying had only one hour to hide, he wished he could fly to meet her immediately.
“Slow down! If you go like this, you can’t bring her out even if you go in! Although your strength has no rivals at the same level, but in the face of the enemies above the middle stage of fairy immortal, you will undoubtedly lose! Take this super Soul-raising Pill and super Immortal Extermination Pill, and cooperate with your Ghost Devil Head, then you should have a chance to escape!” He threw two pills to Lyu Liang and said, “You go first, I’ll create some diversion for you. When you get in, I’ll walk away completely.”
Lyu Liang took the pills, and his eyes instantly lit up!
What good things they were! From the colour and smell, they were really Soul-raising Pill and Immortal Extermination Pill. But the quality of these two pills was absolutely much higher than that of the same kind that he saw from those years. Then he calmed down, put the pills in his chest pocket, and respectfully worshipped Shui Ye, “The grace of your senior, Lyu Liang will never forget this! Although I don’t know why you are helping me so much, I will engrave the sentiment on my mind!”
After that, Lyu Liang did not hesitate and walked out of the door of the compartment and went downstairs immediately.
Watching him leave, Shui Ye shook his head with a bitter laugh and said to himself, “Well, even if the master punishes me, I’ve resigned myself to it! Bi Huo, are you all right? Have you found Xiaotao? Seeing this kid, I’ll think of you. I hope I didn’t make a mistake this time…”
…………………………
At night, around the Kunlun Sect, teams of disciples patrolled from time to time. Suddenly, a dazzling sword light flashed in the night sky, and hit the sect-protecting formations. Then there was a slightly less violent shaking.
Even so, there was a stir within the Kunlun Sect. In an instant, two almighty immortals appeared in the air. Subsequently, a large group of Taoists emerged, including the Jingxu Ancestor.
The group of disciples who were patrolling outside also rushed up and worshipped respectfully, “Your ancestor master! These disciples were patrolling outside and suddenly we saw a sword light pa.s.sing, which caused the shock just now. But within dozens of meters, no outsiders were sensed!”
Jingxu Ancestor looked around and said softly, a moment later, “You all spread out. Since some people are provoking us but dare not show up, there is no need for us to waste our energy. You continue to patrol. If there is any event, you can crush the messaging talisman directly.
After that, he returned to the inside of the sect-protecting formation with a group of people. n.o.body noticed that among the bustling crowds, there was an ordinary-looking disciple with a cultivation level at the peak of Nascent Soul.
At the moment of entering the sect-protecting formation, the disciple clenched his fist tightly and turned his eyes to a secluded place of Kunlun Sect. He said in his heart, “Ying’er, wait for me, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you to any extent!”
