The Devilish Immortal

Initially, after the commotion between Tian Shu Pavilion and Ghost King Sect subsided, the third round should have continued. But all of a sudden, all the light gates disappeared!

While everyone was shocked, Ji Luo Tao Lord announced, “The division of the mining area will be adjourned. The third round will be held together with the last two rounds, five days later!”

There had never been this kind of decision before, in any of the previous matches, but since the Dark Reign declared it as such, everyone regained their composure fast. The respective square array returned to their resting zones.

Due to the exposure of his Spiritual Body, Lyu Liang was guarded with extreme care in Tianshu Pavilion. He was escorted by Ancestor Wen Shu and Ancestor Wu Shu, one on each side, to a room with layers of restriction formations. According to their assurances, even if a Divine Ancestor came, it would be hard to break in, without Lyu Liang’s permission!

When night came, the division of the mining area, which has lasted for nearly two days, was finally peaceful.

However, some smart people discovered something unusual in this seemingly peaceful rest period…

…

On the night before the match, deep inside the headquarters of Yue Feng Nest Meeting, in a luxurious secret room, the bearded man was in a discussion with Nie Qingyun, and he was unmasked.

“What happened before?” “When I was trying to save Master, there seemed to be two people behind me, who wanted to self-detonate. How did I end up at the audience stage?” “Did Ancestor Tian Shu of Tianshu Pavilion replace me and take the attack instead?” Nie Qingyun was full of doubts.

The bearded man nodded, “These two people should be together with the ones who attacked you before.” “I have told you before that even in this division of the mining area, they will take every chance to kill you. This is why I don’t want you to show your face during the fight.” “You should realize that they are a group of madmen assembled by Man of Sacrifice. They will do anything to kill you!”

Nie Qingyun frowned and lowered his head. He pondered and suddenly raised his head, staring into the man’s eyes, “If they are willing to do anything to kill me, then I must have done something to arouse such a strong hatred in them!” “But I grew up in a small domain of Chaotic World, since I was a child. I don’t remember having such a strong enmity with anyone, at all!” “But now I think I understand. After I followed my mentor in the war with Nether Big World, a pair of eyes filled with hate, seemed to be targeting me!” “At the same time, there have been mysterious figures like you, who were protecting me, either explicitly or implicitly.”

The man looked back at Nie Qingyun, and seemed to be waiting for him to continue.

“Maybe you will find it ridiculous, but since I came to Nether Big World, I have had this sense of familiarity vibrating in my Divine Soul, all the time!” “Moreover, my cultivation is skyrocketing at an uncontrollable rate!” “For example, as a Tao Master, I took less than three years to cultivate to the level of Heavenly Master. How is this possible?” “However, whenever there is a breakthrough, I have an inexplicable feeling of ‘this is my original cultivation!.” While Nie Qingyun spoke, lights flashed on his hand, as a silver colored Dragon-Teeth Dagger appeared, “I have a feeling that the origin of all this, seems to be related to the Dragon-Teeth Dagger!” “This was lent to me by a friend of Master. Since I got this, my cultivation has grown rapidly.”

All of a sudden, Nie Qingyun grabbed the man’s arm and growled, “You know what is going on!” “Right?” “Including the origin of this Dragon-Teeth Dagger!” “I clearly remember that when you saw me taking out this dagger for the first time, your eyes flashed with excitement!” “That’s a unique emotion only shown when two who were separated, meet again. You can’t lie!” “Please tell me what you know!” “I am not afraid of death, but I don’t want to die, in ignorance!” “And I don’t want any unknown brothers to die for me!!!” ”

The man looked at Nie Qingyun, who was in an emotional state, and sighed. Just as he was trying to speak, he spat out one mouthful blood, and his aura went unstable. He seemed to have suffered a severe injury in an instant!

“Sir!” “What’s wrong with you?” Nie Qingyun was shocked and quickly held him.

“No harm, don’t worry.” The man smiled like it was not a big deal, “I have already told you not to call me benefactor anymore, it’s too weighty!” “I do want to tell you something. But as you can see, merely by thinking about it, I was punished by the Natural Law.” “Sorry, I cannot tell you anything that you want to know.”

“I should be sorry… I see, since heaven chose to play this game with me, then I will be with you to the end! Your injury… ” Nie Qingyun sighed, he had calmed down and started to tend to the man’s injury.

“It is just a minor injury, I will just take some medicinal pills.” “Since you understand now, have a good rest, and wait for the third round.” “And be careful. The man who self-detonated earlier, is just the first batch, there will be more of them at the later part, and that will threaten your life!” After the man finished speaking, he disappeared. Nie Qingyun stared thoughtfully at the Dragon-Teeth Dagger in his hands. Later, his eyes once again revealed a mixed emotion of confusion and vicissitude.

When the man showed up again, he was in the Dark Reign. The moment he appeared, he was held by Ji Luo Tao Lord, who appeared shocked, “Milord!” “What…”

“It’s all right. I tried to tell that Lord about everything, and was hurt by the Natural Law. I will recover in a few days.” Although the man’s aura was not stable, his eyes were as sharp as ever, “They did not let go of any opportunity to kill!” “Bring along all the people you can trust. I have a hunch that when the match resumes in five days, it may be the last battle for the Wild Domain, where they will sacrifice everything they have!”

…

At the same time, in Ghost King Sect’s territory, there was a mysterious void. The black-robed man, who had been injured by Lyu Liang and the Ghost-faced Immortal were there.

The mysterious black-robed man was Spirit Ghost, one of the top three killers of Infernal Purgatory in Goddess Nyu Wa space. He came from the Ghost King Sect in Nether Big World, and was the master of the current leader, Ghost-faced Immortal.

“Master, how is your injury?” Ghost-faced Immortal respectfully asked, with a worried look.

“No wonder that guy is allowing me to kill him with one attack!” “That is not an ordinary cultivator from the Mortal World!” “Not to mention that he has techniques of Divine Body, and even a woman with a Spiritual Body, is willing to serve him, without any contract. Tsk tsk, I am so annoyed!” Spirit ghost spoke with great reluctance, “My injury is fine, with the help of the ghost spirit, I will be restored to my best state in three days!” “At that time, everything he has, will be mine!”

Seeing that his master was fine, Ghost-faced Immortal felt relieved, and left.

When only Spirit Ghost was left in the space, he took off his black robe, and revealed a tall and thin man, wrapped in an aura of sour, black gas. When he wanted to run the recovery Cultivation Method, a strange trance like feeling, rose from the depths of his soul…

“Huh?” The loud cheers brought back Spirit Ghost’s consciousness, and then he was stunned!

Because at this moment, he was still standing in the competition field between the rotten heaven and earth, within the light gate. And the Barbarian from Tianshu Pavilion had just entered the light gate.

“What’s going on? Is this an illusion…” Spirit Ghost was confused. However, whether it was his feelings after a battle or his running powers, he knew he was in the real competition field!

“Although I don’t know what’s going on, this time, I will not spare him!” Ghost spirit temporarily abandoned all thoughts. Although this strange situation made him feel weird, he also felt real. He suddenly wondered, “Maybe what he went through earlier was just an illusion?”

“Death Spell!” Spirit Ghost shouted, and the barbarian on the opposite side was entangled again. Then without any hesitation, he punched his opponent’s head, with his golden right fist!

All of a sudden, the whole world suddenly turned dark, and the real feeling that the Spirit Ghost was experiencing, disappeared! Then, a deathly aura appeared with a lot of sour, black blood…

At this moment, Spirit Ghost seemed to realize something. The person whose head was smashed, was not the barbarian’s, but his own.

In half a day, the origin of the mysterious black-robed man of Ghost King Sect had been completely uncovered, along with his mysterious disappearance in Ghost King Sect.

According to sources, when Ghost-faced Immortal arrived at the venue where Spirit Ghost died, he vaguely saw a remnant shadow of a black-robed man. His impression was useless, as a black fog covered the man’s face…

While everyone was amazed by the matter, the girl in the black veil from Dark Reign, smiled meaningfully and her eyes glowed…

…

On the second day of the competition to divide the mines, inside a secret cave at the edge of Dark Reign’s territory, two figures flickered. And another plot against Lyu Liang started…

“Are you sure she will listen to you?” “According to the information I have, that girl is willing to die for Lyu Liang!”

“Don’t worry. I did not know her whereabouts before. Now that I found her, I am sure she can be used by me!”

“She is the daughter of your eldest brother, and perhaps your only blood-related clansman in this world.” “Can you do it?”

“The only blood-related clansman?” “So what!” “She risked her life to save Lyu Liang!” “Maybe she did not know his real identity at that time, but I will tell her all the facts!” “She risked her life to save someone who killed her father!”

“…I see, believe it or not; I have no choice, given the limited time left.” “He is getting stronger, and has started to reunite with his lost companions.” “The last time I failed to kill him in Icy Peak. That undead bitch must have sold me out. At least Lyu Liang should now be familiar with my figure and appearance.” “Perhaps, my first official meeting with him will be the last…”

“…me too. Either he dies or I die!” “When I came out this time, I had no plans to go back to the organization.” “In the beginning, I joined the organization to honor my family. Now my dream is dashed. What else can I lose?”

“I will make preparations in advance. When Lyu Liang arrives at the mining area, I will give him a bloody journey he will never forget!”

As the voice fell, one of the shadows drifted away instantly. Another virtual shadow sighed and then gradually turned into a burly man. His hands held a golden pendant that faintly reflected a cracked image.

On the right side of the picture was a little girl with a sweet smile, who was being held by a white-robed woman. The left side of the image had been deleted by force, showing only a golden-striped black robe…

“Xiaotong, I’m sorry… please forgive me for everything I’m about to do. If I fail this time, I will look for you in hell, and make amends to you.” the man whispered, revealing endless sorrow and pain in his tone. With his lonely figure, it formed a bleak and desolate scene…
