The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 340 Senior Alien Minister
When you were heavily in debt, you would not worry about it.

This was what Lyu Liang felt at the moment. Although he was curious about how the Divine Ancestor Palace would deal with him, he was confident of his strength to rival that of an Immortal General.

Since Fatty was a member of the Demon Clan, he went with little bean to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding. So now, only Wen Xiaojing accompanied Lyu Liang.

Although Wen Xiaojing always had an indifferent look of vicissitude, she smiled more often than before. Sometimes, she would play a tune in Lyu Liang’s cave residence.

As a result, within two days, all the divine beasts became fans of Wen Xiaojing.

More importantly, these divine beasts usually disclosed some embarrassing facts about Lyu Liang, which made him blush and want to hide at once.

At that moment, Wen Xiaojing would listen very carefully and then burst out laughing. Seeing her smiling face, Lyu Liang felt a sense of relief.

After three days, Lyu Liang began flying to the branch of the Heavenly Alliance. The journey was quite smooth this time. Half a day later, he saw a huge, spherical, gray light screen.

“Who are you? Stop!” When he was 300 meters away from the light screen, a strong voice could be heard.

Lyu Liang stopped instantly, cupped his hands, and said, “I’m Lyu Liang. I came here to seek a position as an alien minister.” Then, seemingly thinking of something, he took out a piece of golden cloth and waved it above his head.

“The Golden Brocade?” The voice became softer, yet with great amazement, “Is that your token?”

“Eh? Is it not?” Lyu Liang was confused.

Meanwhile, a figure appeared in midair and turned into a golden-armored guard. He came up to Lyu Liang unctuously and said in a flattering tone “It is a token. Of course, it is a token! You’re Lyu Liang, right? Your name sounds familiar… Forget it. Please come in!”

Although Lyu Liang felt strange, he cupped his hands and accepted the invitation at once. Very soon, he followed the guard across the light screen.Access v ip novel

Then, an aged voice sounded with great pleasure, “Ho ho, I have been looking forward to meet you. No wonder they appreciate you so much. You’re great! Very great!”

A cyan-robed, cyan-bearded old man was smiling at Lyu Liang, with his hands clasped behind his back. Judging by the two unique horns on his head, he was evidently a leader from the Demon Clan.

“Are you… I’m Lyu Liang. Green Dragon Saint Emperor, it’s my honor to meet you here!” According to Zhao Yunhai’s description, he immediately recognized this amiable old man.

Probably because of his friendship with the Demon Clan in the Chaotic World, he subconsciously trusted the three demon seniors in the Heaven Realm. Therefore, he felt quite at ease with this old man.

“All right, don’t stand on ceremony. You came in time. If you were late for half a day, you would not have met me here! Let’s go to my cave residence to have a chat.” Green Dragon Saint Emperor nodded, waved at the surprised guard, and said, “I’ll pick him up. You can leave now.”

“This Taoism peer came here to seek a position of alien minister. Now that Great Elder is here, I’ll leave now!” The guard cupped his hands respectfully, and disappeared instantly.

Then, Green Dragon Saint Emperor led Lyu Liang to the North. While flying, he said with a smile, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you through the formalities for the position of an alien minister. And let’s have a chat after that!”

While Lyu Liang was about to say something, the Saint Emperor’s serious, secret voice sounded in his Divine Soul, “Don’t ask anything. Time is limited. I’ll let you become an alien minister first. And we’ll chat after that.”

Hearing that, Lyu Liang remained silent as he followed the Saint Emperor to a splendid palace. The procedure was not as complicated as Lyu Liang expected. Thanks to the Saint Emperor’s accompaniment and Lyu Liang’s own fame, a white-robed old man directly handed over a plate that read “Alien Minister”. This meant that Lyu Liang was now an alien minister.

An alien minister did not belong to a specific place. Instead, this identity fitted any Heaven Realm.

After that, when Lyu Liang followed the Saint Emperor to the East, he could not help asking, “Senior, are you going somewhere after this? Ah! Is it about the Calamity Troop? Is that why you hastened to help me become an alien minister?”

“You’re smart. Yes. But I didn’t do so for this reason. I’ll tell you later.” The Saint Emperor was still smiling, and yet his tone had a touch of melancholia, “In these hundred years, those inferior guys of elements have been rising…”

The Saint Emperor paused, and as he shook his right hand, an indistinct screen soon covered them. Then, the Saint Emperor said softly, “The enemies notice our besiegement almost every time. It might be a coincidence the first one or two times, but it always happens… Do you know why?”

“We have a hidden traitor!” Anger surged in Lyu Liang’s heart.

“Yes. But even so, two thirds of seniors of the Heavenly Alliance conveniently overlook that! While those who are powerful and responsible are defending against the Calamity Troop on the frontline!” A hint of anguish flashed across the Saint Emperor’s face, and he continued, “Our brave warriors never give in to our enemies. However, the harm coming from our people is the most disappointing!”

“Senior, please let me join you! I’m not alone. My brothers and a troop of nearly 1,000 forces will go with me!” Lyu Liang said indignantly, itching to fight on the frontline.

“Ho ho, you make me see the hope of victory! Your performances in the past were outstanding. I hope you can also bring surprises to us this time!” The Saint Emperor nodded with a smile, but then, he said seriously, “But now, we need you to help us with a more important task! Although we are only meeting for the first time, I trust you unconditionally. Besides, this task might directly decide the result of the war!”

After a while, they arrived at a cave residence, which shone with cyan light. As Lyu Liang followed the Saint Emperor in, several colorful flashes of light appeared and formed a formidable defense cover.

In the meantime, the golden-armored guard showed up and frowned. Then, he flashed away immediately…

……

“Please have a seat. I’ve set a restriction formation of Natural Law around the cave residence. Unless I’m dead, no one can sneak in here!” The Saint Emperor nodded and then said with a sigh, “Why must I use such a formation in our own domain? Alas… Alas!”

“How can I help you? Please tell me! I’ll do it!” While Lyu Liang shared the same grief with the Saint Emperor, he resolved to change the situation with all his might.

“All right, let me brief you!” Seemingly satisfied with Lyu Liang’s courage, the Saint Emperor said seriously, “What you need to do is what you’re doing, that is to be a senior alien minister!”

“I’ve learned that alien ministers are ranked junior or senior. But please tell me the differences between the two levels, and how I can be promoted to the rank of senior.” Lyu Liang asked directly.

“You may have known that alien ministers can bypass some rules, but senior ones can even enter some special areas!” His eyes lit up and the Saint Emperor said in a low voice, “If I’m not mistaken, we can find some evidence of Night Dragon’s dirty deals with the Calamity Troop!”

“Oh?” Lyu Liang was astonished and asked expectantly, “Evidence? A witness or an object?”

“Our plans are always known by the enemies, and the only explanation is that we have a hidden traitor from the Calamity Troop! It’s said that those b*stards can connect with their element matrix!” The Saint Emperor paused, and then, he said softly, “Do you know? Since the rise of the Calamity Troop, Night Dragon has marked some areas as secret realms, which only senior alien ministers and he himself can go in! He claimed that many material supplies are restored there, but we suspect that there is an enemy who has been transmitting our information to the element matrix!”

“How can I be a senior alien minister?” Lyu Liang was irritated. Calm as he always was, he burst out with uncontrollable murderous intent.

“With your past achievements, you’ve become an alien minister.” The Saint Emperor nodded at first, but then, he shook his head and said, “However, it’s very hard to become a senior. You have to win in both the intelligence competition and the actual combat! This match is held once a year, and no more than 20 people will participate in each match. But only one person can pass it. And before he becomes a senior alien minister, he has to pass a test set by Night Dragon. If he fails, naturally he can’t win the title.”

“Even the people in the Chaotic World have to pass his test?” Lyu Liang was worried. If so, there would be no hope for him to become a senior alien minister…

“Ho ho, the final test is set by five Great Elders of the branch. Since we are next to the Pan Gu Heaven Realm, Night Dragon supervises two places at the same time. Now, we three brothers are fighting on the frontline, so Tianhuang and Qiling will take our places to set the test. And they are Night Dragon’s people. So anyway, the result is the same.” The Saint Emperor continued with a faint smile, “However, even so, you can still become a senior alien minister!”

“Please tell me!” Lyu Liang cheered up, as he was thinking hard about using any other countermeasures and said, “I’ll try my best to be a senior alien minister!”

However, the Saint Emperor became hesitant and replied with a wry smile, “Other people can also do it, but they don’t even have a chance. While you’ve got the chance, I’m afraid that you might not be willing. But once you do it, the effect will be extraordinary!”

“Senior… I don’t get it. Please tell me directly.” Lyu Liang was really not a good riddle solver.

“Idiot, I’ve heard that you’re familiar with Night Dragon’s daughter…” Wen Xiaojing reminded him in a playful tone, “You sacrificed yourself to save her at that time. Pretty girls always favor heroes… If you still can’t understand, I’m afraid that you’re not only low in emotional quotient…”

Lyu Liang was stunned. While he seemed to have realized something, the Saint Emperor said firmly, “I hope that you can become Night Dragon’s son-in-law before the final test, by using Purple Phoenix’s affection for you!”
