The Devilish Immortal

Although Lyu Liang was waiting for Nie Qingyun to come out, he did not stay there all the time. After half a day, he went into the Virtual Land, as Linglong had woken up.

However, her soul was broken and her aura was unstable. She seemed to have retreated into herself again, like the state she was in the Icy Peak, curling up in the corner and staring at the deserted ground blankly…

When Lyu Liang came near her, Linglong did not move. As he touched her hair softly, the little girl immediately raised her head. Then she shook her head, weeping and backed away fiercely.

Lyu Liang suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and knelt down on the ground to hold her tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, he would not release her.

“Why… Why is it like this… I’m Dark Night Linglong of the Dark Night Family, and tried to harm you with my uncle. I even stabbed you… Kill me…” Linglong was weeping so bitterly, that she could not talk coherently.

Lyu Liang sighed. After a flash of brilliance in his hand, he put a small portion of the Tianxuan Holy Rattan directly into Linglong’s mouth, as she was speaking. When she felt that, she had already swallowed it.

“You…” Linglong felt her soul recovering incredibly fast, and instantly understood what was happening. However, she started to weep again after saying only that one word. But, at that time, she was also touched by his gesture.

“I have given most of it to that array immortal before, but the remaining portion should be enough for you to recover.” Caressing Linglong’s head, Lyu Liang said softly, “Just let the past go. I do not see you as an enemy. And you… Don’t you think of me as your father’s murderer?” Lyu Liang fixed his eyes intently on her as he asked that question. That was the most sensitive question, and also what was causing a main gap between them!

Linglong raised her head. Staring at Lyu Liang in the same way, she responded by saying, “Since you don’t regard me as an enemy, how could I see you as my father’s murderer? Besides… I don’t care about Anye Tianlong at all! He is not fit to be my father! My mother was forced by him, and then gave birth to me. He treated me really badly and always abused me. I could have died with hatred from the pressure! If I did not have the Spiritual Body, I can’t even tell if I could have a future! You tell me, is it worthwhile that I seek revenge for such a person?!”

Linglong answered him firmly, which made Lyu Liang hold her more tightly.

Linglong was no longer as arrogant as before, and said softly, while still weeping, “Actually, when you joined the competition for the distribution of the mining area, I already recalled everything. I was just afraid that you would dump me if you knew who I was…”

At that moment, Lyu Liang was also deeply touched by what she said, and could not help saying, “Linglong, would you like to be my Taoist companion? If you don’t mind that I already have…”

Although he had told Linglong about Shangguan Ying and his other lovers, he thought it was better for him to remind her, as he was always unsure what went on exactly in a girl’s mind…

“Yes, I do! I only want you!” Before he finished speaking, Linglong already hugged his back tightly and her body was trembling all over, at the same time. “I want you…”, she murmured softly, which completely turned him on.

After so many dangerous days and dealings with countless clueless mysteries… and the gloomy mood that came along with that, Lyu Liang finally got a chance to get it off his chest.

That time, their lovemaking was more passionate and fervent.

Lyu Liang wanted to release his feelings and Linglong also wanted her problem solved, so they did it again and again, until they heard a whistle coming from the sword cocoon outside, and they finally stopped reluctantly.

When Lyu Liang came out of the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, he immediately saw that the sword cocoon which had been airtight, had started peeling off. The virtual shadow of Nie Qingyun was becoming clearer and clearer.

30 minutes later, the cocoon was gone and Nie Qingyun became visible, although his eyes were closed.

Lyu Liang gasped at this time. It was already amazing for him to have a cultivation of half the Tao Ancestor. What was more terrifying was that there was a wild sword spirit surrounding him! It was so frightening that Lyu Liang automatically prepared himself to fight!

“Master…” Nie Qingyun opened his eyes and restrained his aura. Then he gave Lyu Liang a bright smile.

Lyu Liang was totally relieved at the moment. Although he still had a lot of questions, at least Qingyun was still the same person he knew. There was nothing more important than that!

“Qingyun! I’m sorry. I’m really ashamed to be your Master…” Lyu Liang stepped forward and patted his shoulder heavily, looking at him with a guilty expression.

“You are taking it too seriously, master! Like I said, as long as I’m alive, I will always be your disciple!” Nie Qingyun said firmly and honestly. Then he said in a soft voice, “After everything that’s happened, there are also a lot of things that I want to talk to you about, master. Let’s go back to the absolute territory of Tianshu Pavilion. I’ll tell you what I have gone through until now!”

Lyu Liang nodded solemnly. Although Nie Qingyun still recognized him, his eyes and expression had a sense of vicissitude and precipitation, which should not be present in a person of his age.

At the time, almost half the people in the mining area already knew the news that Man Zi of Tianshu Pavilion was actually Lyu Liang.

Although no one from the battle in the Minging Vein survived, that sensitive news still leaked out. People found it hard to understand why all those powerful figures in the Nether Big World kept silent, without anybody saying anything.

When Lyu Liang returned to Tianshu Pavilion with his original appearance, Feng Mazi and the all the others greeted him happily. But, when they saw Nie Qingyun following behind, they seemed to be in awe of him.

To Lyu Liang’s surprise, although Zheng Xuan and her companions were not there anymore, they left a message for him, “Brother Zhu came to look for us. It is not convenient for us to continue to live here, so we have gone away with him. There is a place within Minging Vein in the low-level world on the eastern edge of Tianshu Pavilion. That’s our temporary residence. You can look for us there.”

Therefore, except for Zhu Yan, who was still missing, the people that had come to the Nether Big World before, were now together. Lyu Liang was also about to fulfil his task of getting the clansmen of the Yang Family and the Yang Family out of that place soon. Afterwards, they could finally head to the west, a place where there were Dreamless Heavenly Lords!

When Lyu Liang and Nie Qingyun were left alone in the cave residence, they started to talk about their weird experiences, respectively.

“It’s this Dragon-Teeth Dagger… Almost all the changes in me are related to it! Every time I hold it when fighting, I have a sense of extreme confidence, as if I could defeat anybody. The most important thing is that my cultivation will irrepressibly be elevated for each fight. It seems that the cultivation bottleneck has never existed in my cultivation!” After Nie Qingyun described how he had survived those deathtraps, he examined the shining silver Dragon-Teeth Dagger and said solemnly, “… Brother Zhu lent it to me that year. Is that the so called will of Heaven?”

“We’d all like to see your power promoted. It’s just that the enemies you have provoked… You should know that some of them are our benefactors.” Lyu Liang felt very complicated at the moment. He also wanted to know the cause of the situation at present.

Hearing that, Nie Qingyun sighed and shook his head, saying, “I also want to find out about that, and I’m almost going crazy! But nobody tells me anything! “When I was in the Yue Feng Nest Meeting before, the bearded man who has been taking care of me, often wondered whether he should tell me something, or not. Then he was directly punished by the Law of Heaven…”

Seeing that Nie Qingyun was upset again, Lyu Liang held his shoulder with one hand and said softly, “There is nothing we can do about it, so just let it go. You are Qingyun, and we will live and die together. That would never change!”

Nie Qingyun raised his head when he heard those emotional words, and also replied solemnly, “I swear, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my master!”

Both of them did not know that this conversation was going to be the last one in their lives that held so much warmth in it.

Although everything that had happened would be gone forever like a trail of fairy dust, the sincerity that day had already been imprinted on their memories…

When all the people in the mining area had tacitly accepted the fact that Man Zi was Lyu Liang, there was still a hot-headed person, who was trying to persuade those organizations to take the lead and publicly announce that Lyu Liang had harbored the slaves.

Although Lyu Liang had already been told that Yang Dingshan was the spy, after he escaped from Tianshu Pavilion, he considered that Yang Dingshan was after all the clansman of the Yang Family and did not do anything wrong, so he just ignored him.

However, the old man was still unclear of the present situation, and had not given up on that…

“Milord! What I said is really true! He is not that Man Zi of Tianshu Pavilion at all. He is Lyu Liang, who has broken up the attack of our Nether Big World in the Chaotic World! Now, he is even attempting to take the people of the Yang Family out of this place. That’s unforgivable! He should be sentenced to death!” Yang Dingshan spluttered as he tried to convince the expressionless Ghost-faced Immortal, in front of him. His stooped body even straightened up.

Yang Dingshan felt very depressed.

Before that, Lyu Liang had taken all the clansmen of the Yang Family into the cave residence, except him. That would have been the perfect time to catch him red handed!

So, he directly headed to the Plain Girl Pavilion, even though he might be exposed!

To his surprise, Fairy Still Water who had urged him to do that before, seemed to be a totally different person now. She was cold and even kicked him out, before he finished speaking.

Next, his second goal was naturally the Ghost King Sect, which was also a powerful organization.

The result was the same. Ghost-faced Immortal heard him and just said, “I know. Go away.” He just turned him away…

After getting out of the Ghost King Sect, Yang Dingshan still did not give up and went to meet the doubled-headed dhuta. He was not given the cold shoulder that time. Instead, the doubled-headed dhuta smiled as he greeted him, and nodded while listening to him, which was a great encouragement for Yang Dingshan.

He had his own rules for going to talk to those organizations. The Plain Girl Pavilion was the number one in the mining area. The Ghost King Sect was the number two. The Snow Dragon Mountain may not be the third powerful organization there, but the doubled-headed dhuta was a power figure himself. What he said would have some effect in the Dark Reign!

When Yang Dingshan told him everything about Lyu Liang, he still thought that was not enough, so he went on to tell him what he knew about Nie Qingyun.

At that moment, the doubled-headed dhuta brightened. Before Yang Dingshan finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed him and asked with a smile, “Is that true?”

“Of course!” Yang Dingshan was moved by him and continued, “I’m not doing this for myself. I just want to get rid of this bad man for our Nether Big World! Then, just let me leave the mining area and go back to the inner city to live a normal life. I’ll be truly grateful!”

“Okay, calm down. What you said is indeed very important, but you also know that if the Dark Reign is going to take action, that would be definitely transmitted to the inner city. My friend happens to be here. He is the Palace Lord of the Ghostly Fire Palace in Luo Hou Country, and has a history with a few Tao Ancestors in the Dark Reign. If you tell him… The benefits you’re going to get will be more than just a peaceful life in the inner city.”

When Yang Dingshan heard that, he started trembling all over. After bowing to him repeatedly, he even wept and said, “Thank you very much! Thanks for your recommendation, milord!”

Then the doubled-headed dhuta pointed to the place behind him and said, “Go. My friend already knows you are here. He has been waiting for you. Have a nice chat!”

Yang Dingshan even forgot to thank him again, and directly rushed to the rear hall. He seemed to be seeing the revitalization of the Yang Family…

However, as the doubled-headed dhuta saw Yang Dingshan leaving, an imperceptible sneer flashed across his eyes.

15 minutes later, after a scream was heard in the rear hall, a masked, tall man wearing a black robe came out. He was just the Palace Lord of the Ghostly Fire Palace, Yang Dingtian.

At this time, there was no emotion in his eyes, but his hands still had the residual aura from Yang Dingshan.

“Haha, you did it so fast. I never expected you to be such a cold blooded person!” The doubled-headed dhuta squinted at him, his expression seeming to know what had happened.

Yang Dingtian smiled and said, “When the entire Yang Family were exterminated, I suspected that someone had ratted on us… And now, I think I finally found the informer! Thank you very much!”

“You are welcome! We’re friends. Besides, Nie Qingyun alone would be enough for me to do that!” The doubled-headed dhuta looked sharp and continued to say in a deep tone, “If I predict it correctly, the big day is coming when they leave Tianshu Pavilion! We should also prepare ourselves earlier!”

“You really believe that legend? It doesn’t matter… Anyway, I’m all yours. Although I have consumed some Divine Soul, at least I feel a lot more relieved now.” Yang Dingtian nodded in agreement.

“Yeah! The broken Divine Soul can be repaired. If people lose their lives, they would never be repaired and come back to life again. Believe me, a substantial change is happening in the Nether Big World! And I believe that we are not alone. There must be some other scheming old guys doing the same thing like what we are doing now!” The eyes of the doubled-headed dhuta turned gloomy, “the imprinting for the noble of the Dark Reign… One person could slaughter the Plain Girl Pavilion at their gate? Are they really thinking that those cultivators with special fighting capacity are all losers? Just wait and see. I have a feeling that the west part will be the place where the Nether Big World will have its nirvana. The ultimate source of everything as well as its causes and effects that are quite beyond our imagination should be there! Nie Qingyun… We’ll see if you are that milord Shenhuang in the legend!”
