The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 322 A Strong Legion
“We will go where you go!” Liu Yu cried, and all the other people echoed in agreement.

After searching the cyan-bearded man’s soul, Lyu Liang knew then what he was concerned about.

He had thought that, in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, the 10 Remote-Antiquity families were the most formidable existences. However, the fact was that, in the Sanctuary, there were four families who were even more influential.

Being the top powers in the Space of Pan Gu, these four families contributed the most in the war against the Giant Clan. Therefore, they, as well as the Donghuang Family, achieved the highest status in the Sanctuary after that.

Actually, they were slightly weaker than the Remote-Antiquity families, especially after the impact of the war. However, it was believed that they might have a terrifying trump card. Besides, considering their status, even the core figures from the Remote-Antiquity families had to show respect to them.

As for strength, the Jiang Family was ranked first, and after that were Wen, Yao, and Ji. The four opponents were all from the Wen Family, and the three of them were merely marginal figures. However, the cyan-bearded man was the younger brother of the wife of the eldest son of the master of the Wen Family!

“This is indeed very troublesome… However, what’s done is done. I’ll play it by ear! Anyway, I’ve decided to go to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa!” After a moment of depression, Lyu Liang cheered up again.

Liu Jiawen, the girl who had gone through a lot with him, had been attacked by some strange people. Although she managed to escape, she was seriously injured and could only stay in the core place of the Wen Family to recover slowly. That happened over 300 years ago. Now, she was safe, but the situation for the Liu Family was not optimistic.

While the Kong Family kept coercing Liu Jiawen to marry, the Wen Family began occupying the property of the Liu Family. Besides, it was said that the four great families planned to come out publicly, which meant that some of the Remote-Antiquity members might be replaced!

At this critical moment, the masters of the Liu Family, as well as Liu Jiatan, had not shown up yet. Although their life cards remained intact, no one was sure of their safety. The only comfort was that, as the Han and Fang families kept offering help, the Jiang Family also showed its discontent with the attitude of the Wen Family. Therefore, although the Wen Family did not stop its villainy, it began showing some form of restraint.

Lyu Liang wanted to help them right now. What Liu Jiawen had experienced made him feel that some danger was lurking.

However, he could not act rashly. He knew that he had to get to the Heaven Realm first, where there was an available passage to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa.

“Boy, don’t worry. With help from the Han and Fang families, the Liu Family can still maintain its influence. Besides, when it comes to the critical moment, although Wu-Ji Five Lords can’t directly interfere in these things, they will ask the Jiang Family for help. This time, it is probably thanks to them that the Jiang Family was willing to intervene in this affair. None of the four families are fools. At least, they still know they have to restrain their ambition.” White’s analysis sounded reasonable, which greatly reassured Lyu Liang, “What you need to do now is to organize a loyal legion, so that you can rival the Remote-Antiquity families, or the four great families, when you go to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa!”

Lyu Liang could not agree more. After calming himself down, he began distributing some medicine that he gained from the Peaceful Land to the injured. Then, he followed Hu Wu to a place deep into the tribe, where there were two tombstones standing. They were set up for Lang Lie and Hu Linger, who had sacrificed themselves in the war.

Without hesitation, Lyu Liang knelt and made three kowtows.

“Savior! You don’t need to…” Hu Wu said hurriedly, because both Lyu Liang and White were very significant figures in the entire tribe.

“No. Without the Fox and Wolf Clan, I wouldn’t have made such achievements.” Lyu Liang rose and said softly, “Although I’m late, I’ll break the Xuan Ling Engraving Seals for all the tribesmen!”

“What?” Hu Wu quivered, looking at Lyu Liang with astonishment. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Savior… You…”

He knew that Lyu Liang, who was always trustworthy, must have absolute confidence to do so, when he said that. This was definitely a celebratory moment for the entire tribe!

Lyu Liang nodded and said, “I don’t know who set these seals on you, but I have found the solution. Please help me summon all the tribesmen with such seals.”

“I see! I see!” Hu Wu replied with excitement and disappeared. Then, a roar resounded through the entire tribe, “All the people, gather in the square immediately! Our savior will help us break the seals!”

Then, within two breaths of time, the empty square was filled with tribesmen, whose eyes lit up with excitement.

“Ming, how long do you need? Do you need any help?” Although Ming had promised to do that, Lyu Liang still felt somehow discouraged by the great numbers of the tribesmen.

“Don’t worry. But please give me the residue of the Soul Bone. My brothers and I need that to increase our power.” Ming said slowly, “Anyway, you’ll also benefit from this.”

Lyu Liang agreed at once. Then, Ming began breaking the seals, which looked easy, but was actually time-consuming.

When the first seal was broken, it had taken half an hour! Now Lyu Liang knew that it would take more than a month to break all the seals…

Therefore, he decided to spend the time improving his moves and prepared for the journey to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, where he would kill his enemies. Although his cultivation had increased significantly, it might still be trivial when he went to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa. However, he had become unprecedentedly confident.

During a thousand years in the Peaceful Land, every time he came out of a world, he would spend a year in summarizing his experience and practicing his moves.

During this period, one of his biggest gains was that, with Linglong’s help, he had mastered the Underworld Shadow skills and infused it into the Transforming Realm of Ghost Soldiers.

Moreover, he had begun cultivating the Skill of Chaos Body, which he had not had enough time to study, and the outcome was also satisfying. Now, he was able to summon a doppelganger with ease. To be more exact, he could make two doppelgangers, but the risk was too high.

An interesting discovery was made when Ming tried to break the seals: The time needed for each of them to recover was different.

For example, after the first seal was broken, the tribesman made kowtows with wild excitement. Then, with a roar, he exuded the aura at the Tao Ancestor level and flew away immediately. After a day, he finally flew back and kowtowed to Lyu Liang again…

After half a month, more tribesmen were saved. Among them, some only needed 15 minutes to break free, and their cultivation was basically at the Heavenly Master or Supreme Master level. And 10 of them took nearly an hour to do that and restore their cultivation to the Tao Ancestor level. However, Lyu Liang knew that, without the suppression of the Law, their cultivation might have reached the God Ancestor level!

“Who has the power to set such seals on these formidable figures?” Lyu Liang asked.

“Concerning the seal and the number of the victims… it’s probably the notorious sect in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa.” White shook his head and said, “I’ll tell you more details when you get there. It’s more an organization of slave trade than a sect. More importantly, there seems to be an influential power behind it… What you are doing will definitely influence their trade. I just hope that they will not trouble you right now, because you have had too many enemies, and they are too powerful.”

“Ah? I can’t stop them coming at me!” Lyu Liang shrugged his shoulders resignedly, but then his eyes lit up as he said, “I really want to experience more. That way, when I get to the Heaven Realm or the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, I will be more confident of my strength!”

White nodded his approval, and then, he turned to the tribesmen, saying softly, “Boy, when you try to increase your own strength, don’t forget the potential companions around you! The strayers you saved and the tribesmen, will form a loyal strong legion and assist you in the future!”

……

At the same time, in the East of the Sanctuary, a dozen servants were waiting outside the splendid residence of the Wen Family. Wails and crashes could be heard from inside the house, and all of them were trembling in fear.

“He’s my brother! I will not spare that guy!” A female dressed in full finery was wailing in a coarse manner, as she shattered fancy ornaments onto the ground.

Standing in front of her was a well-dressed robust man, who was frowning in anger. As the female smashed another expensive vase, the robust man finally knocked on the table and said, “Enough! Why didn’t anyone tell me that he went down to the Mortal World? Now we know about the appearance of that man and also he could kill Feng with ease… Tell me, who should I dispatch at this critical moment?”

“I…” The female stopped crying, and was evidently struck dumb.

When both of them did not know what to do, a clear laugh came from outside, “Ho ho, please don’t worry. If it’s Lyu Liang, you don’t need to worry anymore, because this guy has offended the Guangling Clan.”

Then, the door was pushed open, and a handsome, blue-robed young man stepped in. What was most striking about him was his hair, which was long and smooth, but was half black and half white.

“Ah! When did you arrive?” The robust man was stunned and somehow embarrassed. The female also rose hastily and immediately assumed an air of gentleness.

The young man waved his hand and closed the door, saying with a smile, “Uncle, aunt, I take you as my family, so you can also be frank with me. Aunt, I came here this time to dispel your concern!”

“Oh! You’re so sweet! Did you just say that guy offended the Guangling Clan? What happened?” The female ran over and took the young man’s arm, with an expectant look on her face.

“Ho ho, three days ago, the Guangling Clan were preparing to make some big deals. It’s said that the important figures of the Jiang Family, as well as some core figures of Kong, Gongsun, and Liu families, were all there. However, before the deals were made, nearly 1,000 Soul Chains, which the Guangling Clan used to show off, suddenly broke!” The young man gave a mysterious smile and continued, “Guangling Zi performed the Back-recording Skill at once and saw what happened… Could you believe that? It was his first time to reveal his real body in the public because he was too angry!”

Hearing that, the robust man and the female became very excited. With tears welling in her eyes again, the female asked in a quavering voice, “So, so the Guangling Clan won’t spare him?”

“More than that!” The young man was rather complacent, “On that day, all those important figures left, and the Guangling Clan’s reputation was also damaged! Although these families did not disclose anything, Guangling Zi will definitely teach that guy an unforgettable lesson! Since two days ago, Wuya Zi and Wudao Zi have disappeared from the public!”

“What?” The robust man was shocked and said in a low voice, “He sent those two monsters out? Then their henchmen…”

“Of course they followed them.” The young man nodded. Then, he seemed to think of something and cupped his hands, as he said, “I almost forgot that I have an appointment with a friend. I’ve told you what I know. Please forgive my sudden departure!” After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated.

“Ji Liang is such a good boy! My kindness has finally been repaid!” Despite the tears remaining in her eyes, the female had a merry smile on her face.

The robust man reacted differently. When the young man left, his smile also disappeared. After staring into the space in front of him for a while, he finally shook his head and sighed.

“What’s wrong?” The female, who had calmed down, took her husband’s arm and asked softly, “Is there anything wrong?”

“Why was Liang so nice to us… He came here just to tell us about this?” The robust man sighed slightly and said in a low voice, “If I’m not mistaken, his point is not that the Guangling Clan will deal with Lyu Liang, but that… Wuya Zi and Wu Daozi have been sent to the Mortal World…”

“Ah? I’m confused… Does anyone want to threaten the Wen Family?” Compared with her brother, the female was more worried about the Wen Family.

The robust man gave the female a complicated look and said with a sigh, “The Ji Family… is forcing us to choose a side…”

The female frowned, seemingly aware of something. She asked hastily, “Then, then what should we do? Now that your father is not here, what will you do?”

“I’m curious about why Feng went to the Mortal World so secretly. What are they hiding?” The robust man calmed down again and said, as his eyes lit up, “What will I do? Well, I know who I am! I will ask Jing, and her decision will be the Wen Family’s decision!”
