The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 216: The Prelude of Chaos

On the third day after they received the letter, Lyu Liang and Huangfu Gang reached the Central Heaven District of Pangu Origin world. Accompanying them were Nie Qingyun, who had a complacent look on his face, and Yang Ying, who looked very happy.

Since the task was difficult, and they might have to confront the Heavenly Alliance again, it would be better if lesser people were involved in this event. When he thought of it in this way, his initial plan was to go there with Huangfu Gang, only.

However, Nie Qingyun, being a real clingy disciple, discovered their plan at once. Then, he used all kinds of methods to persuade Lyu Liang to take him with them. At last, he said, “Both of you are so eye-catching, you will need someone else to help you gather information in the Central Heaven District. Although you can disguise yourselves, there are so many powerful figures, who might see through it. So, I will be of use to you! Besides, I am aware of my weakness. I promise that I will only gather information, and not step into the Million Buddhist Sect!”

Feeling very resigned, Lyu Liang thought that Nie Qingyun’s words did make sense. As long as he did not enter the sect, Lyu Liang agreed to take him with them.

However, Lyu Liang was forced to change his plans again.

Although Lyu Liang’s cultivation had recovered, and the war had ended, Yang Ying did not let her guard down. She came after Nie Qingyun, to ask about the details of his plan.

Facing Yang Ying’s interrogation, Lyu Liang, being an honest person who was not good at lying, told her the truth directly.

Not surprisingly, Yang Ying decided to join them, even before Lyu Liang could stop her.

Finally, Lyu Liang promptly decided to leave for the Demon Realm with his three companions at once, after he informed the founding father of Sword Character through a Voice-messaging Talisman. If they stayed there that night, then more people would know about their plans.

Since Zhu Yan was injured last time, he had been recovering in the Demon Realm. When Lyu Liang went there that night, Zhu Yan was energetic enough to greet them.

After learning what had happened, Zhu Yan insisted on going with them, but Lyu Liang did not agree this time! Even though Zhu Yan did not care about himself, Lyu Liang would certainly take this loyal Saint Emperor seriously!

Zhu Yan, probably thought that his identity was somehow special, and finally agreed not to go with them, for the time being.

Yes, for the time being! He said that, if he could figure out a way, he would also find his way there.

Pressed for time, Lyu Liang did not meet Dongfang Xiaoyu. With the help of Zhu Yan and the Demon Clan, the four reached Pangu Origin world immediately.

Then, Lyu Liang took on a disguise. After another day’s journey, they finally reached Central Heaven District, and checked themselves into an inn.

“It is said that there is an awesome purple beam shooting out from the Tianfo Mountain in the Million Buddhist Sect. Probably, they are there. However, the Million Buddhist Sect is guarded by so many powerful cultivators that I cannot get in!” Nie Qingyun was quite efficient—within less than an hour, he had gathered almost all the relevant information.

After hearing that, Lyu Liang directly sent Black to probe the sect, because that was the key to save his companions.

Just then, Xuan’s words suddenly caught his attention, “There is an acquaintance from the Southeast, who can offer us help!” Hearing that, White seemed to realize something and offered to find the person.

Two hours later, Black came back. He shook his head and said softly, “The situation is tricky! There are so many guards along the way to Tianfo Mountain! It seems that they just want to block this way. Zhu Yu is in the space about 300 meters under the mountain. Although he is still alive, he cannot hold on for longer! Besides, I learned that Zheng Xuan was taken away by a mysterious, masked female, two days ago. As to where they went, I have no idea.”

Hearing what Black said, Lyu Liang felt it would be very troublesome. It was as if these guards were waiting to deal with the people who wanted to save Zhu Yu! However, he was glad to learn that Zheng Xuan was not there, because it was much easier to save one person first.

Although Black had figured out the terrain and the force deployment, it was still difficult to reach Tianfo Mountain.

“If there are no other methods, let us just divide the task. Brother Lyu, it seems that you can go through any Bounded Domain, so you are the one most suited to save the people! Now that it is not convenient for us to get in, just let us help you from the outside!” This was the last method they would resort to.

According to Black, there were not only the people from the Million Buddhist Sect, but also over 20 cultivators above the Tao Master level, guarding the place, including a powerful figure, Heaven Obsess Master. As such, the defense would not be easy to break through!

………………………………

When Lyu Liang was racking his brains, another batch of people arrived in the Million Buddhist Sect.

“This is Milord Donghuang Mufeng from the Sanctuary. This time, we are here for the two people, who are trapped in Tianfo Mountain. Now, since one of them has been saved, please allow us to take the other one away!” Youfu said politely. Behind him, the handsome young man who was nodding frequently, was Donghuang Mufeng, who had come down from the Central Heaven District.

Heaven Obsess Master had a gloomy expression on his face, because two days ago, a masked female came with a Hunyuan Order of the Divine Ancestor Palace, to take away these two people.

Although Heaven Obsess Master said this in a reserved manner, his attitude was firm—he could let Zheng Xuan off, but he must kill Zhu Yu!

However, the female was not worried at all. She stayed there for two days and also met Zhu Yu in the Tianfo Mountain, before she left resignedly with Zheng Xuan, who had lost consciousness.

In less than one hour after she left, this distinguished guest arrived and made the same request—to take away the two people!

Hearing that Zheng Xuan had been taken away by a masked female, Donghuang Mufeng was overjoyed, but then, he rolled his eyes and jabbed Youfu with his elbow. The next moment, Youfu spoke out.

“Sister Xuan must have been saved by sister Luo. If I can take Zhu Yu out, sister Xuan will certainly be proud of me. Haha!” Thinking about that, Donghuang felt very happy. However, he pretended to be serious and said, “Master, no matter what rule Zhu Yu violated, he is still a member of the Remote Antiquity families. He can be punished, but he cannot die here! As the third descendant of the Donghuang family, I hope you can let me take Zhu Yu back to the Sanctuary. Then, the Divine Ancestor Palace will deal with him!”

Although Donghuang Mufeng looked like a dandy, he was very sophisticated. With just a few sentences, he left no chances for Heaven Obsess Master to reject his request!

The subtext implied, “You represent the Heavenly Alliance, and I represent the Divine Ancestor; You treat him as a criminal, and I also will not treat him as if he is a good person; You want him to die, and I do not object to it. My only requirement is to change the place, which matches the Remote Antiquity families…”

Hearing what he had said, Heaven Obsess Master suddenly went pale. He had thought that this man was just a dandy, but he did not expect that he would say these words, which gave him no choice, but to agree.

He allowed the masked female to take Zheng Xuan away, because it was actually at Flying Dragon’s request. Besides, in this way, Flying Dragon would owe him a favor. Anyway, he just wanted to kill Zhu Yu.

Now, Donghuang Mufeng behaved as if he was doing his duty, and his reason sounded much more adequate!

Finally, Heaven Obsess Master heaved a deep sigh and said softly, “If so, you can take him away. But the formation cannot be removed immediately. It will take three days. Please stay at Back Mountain during these days.”

Donghuang Mufeng nodded slightly and said, “Thanks for that!” Having said that, he winked at Youfu. Then, guided by Heaven Obsess Master, they went to Back Mountain.

Finally, Heaven Obsess Master settled this distinguished guest down. But before he could take a breath, a guard reported, “Ancestor, Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen of the Liu family are here!”

“Take them to the main hall.” Heaven Obsess Master felt relieved now. Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen must have come here for the same purpose. After all, anyone at his level knew something about the relationship among the Remote Antiquity families.

Now, Zheng Xuan had been taken away by the Liu family, and Zhu Yu would also be collected by the Donghuang family. If so, he was not afraid that Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen would make an unreasonable request.

He had united with other sects to set up such a tough defense. But now, it seemed that he had been over-worried. If Zhu Yu and Zheng Xuan could be taken away in this way, he would feel much more relieved.

Hearing what Heaven Obsess Master said, Liu Jiahao nodded and looked at Liu Jiawen. Then, he said softly, “We are friends of Donghuang Mufeng. Now that we share the same purpose, please allow us to stay here until we take Zhu Yu away.”

That was right up Heaven Obsess Master’s alley. After all, although Donghuang Mufeng had a distinguished status, he must have come down without any permission. Now, with two powerful helpers here, his safety could be significantly guaranteed.

Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen also stayed in Back Mountain. When they stepped in, Donghuang Mufeng, who was waiting there, gave Liu Jiahao a big hug and greeted Liu Jiawen enthusiastically, just like a close friend.

Then, Heaven Obsess Master left, and Donghuang Mufeng took the two to the cave residence. However, when Youfu looked at the two, there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

………………………………

In the Holy-Fist Palace of the Central Heaven District, two indistinct figures appeared in an abandoned cave residence, at night.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes. I have put a spell on all the people along the way to Tianfo Mountain. They will be under our control for at least for half an hour. With the pawns we already have, I believe that everything is under control.”

“All right. Remember! You can hurt him, but not kill him! Otherwise, not only will I stop cooperating with you, but will also make your master pay his debt!”

“I see. Master has asked me to follow your instructions. However, the old man beside him is not easy to deal with. If we do not kill him, I’m afraid he will spoil our plan.”

“His life is now at your disposal. Although I feel sorry about that, nothing is more important than achieving our ultimate aim!”

………………………………

In a cave residence of the Back Mountain, Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen were discussing something.

“Who is that old man? I think that he suspects us.”

“Youfu? Since Donghuang Mufeng was born, he has been accompanying him. I have never seen him fighting, so I also have no idea of his cultivation. We have no conflicts with them and even share the same aim. So, we do not need to be worried.”

At the same time, inside another cave residence, Donghuang Mufeng and Youfu were also fully awake.

“Youfu, what do you mean?”

“Master, I don’t know how to say this. But I am sure that my choice is right! I have never disobeyed your orders, but this time, I have to do that for your safety!”

“You… Alas! This is the domain of the Million Buddhist Sect. I think that you are over-worried! Besides, we have Jiahao and Jiawen… ”

“Master, if any accident happens, you must try to stay with them. With them here, you will be safe! You must trust them!”

“Of course, I trust them! Youfu, you are acting so strangely today. Alas, your words are so scary! All right, I will go to sleep now!”

As Youfu watched his figure disappearing in the darkness, his eyes darkened. He whispered to himself, “Master, it’s my great fortune to meet you in this life. If there’s really an unavoidable disaster, I will protect you, even at the cost of my life!”
