The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 90 Mysterious Enemy

Chapter 90 Mysterious Enemy

Previously, Nangong Qingxuan had shown Lyu Liang the way to the sword grave. So even if Lyu Liang was alone this time, he was still familiar with the route.

“Little Liang, there are two people who have been following you all the way, before entering the sword grave”

“Well, that’s what I think. One is at the late stage of Nascent Soul and the other is at the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Humph, they don’t seem to be friends. Let me see how strong they are!”

Shortly after Lyu Liang came out of market place, he discovered that he was being followed. The opponent’s skill was very good. If he hadn’t made a breakthrough before, Lyu Liang would not have discovered it so quickly.

Lyu Liang flew straight, and the two, who were following him, did the same. Lyu Liang made a deliberate turn and they also turned. Their intent was too obvious, even if Black did point it out and Lyu Liang could not bring these two scourges into the sword grave.

So, having seen the entrance of the Immortal-eliminating valley, Lyu Liang chose to speed up and turned around. Previously he had been flying at a constant speed, but now he directly ran the fourth grade of Kun Peng Skill, and after two waves, he disappeared instantly.

His stalkers were apparently shocked and rushed to follow him. At this time, Lyu Liang was surprised to find that there were not only two people but at least five people! For the other three, one was at the peak of Nascent Soul, one was at the late stage of Nascent Soul and the remaining one was at the early stage of Void Return!

This was not easy to deal with! If there were only the two of them, based on Lyu Liang’s present state, he would be very relaxed in dealing with it. But for the three new ones, one was more difficult to beat than the others. If he was fighting against all the five guys, Lyu Liang admitted that he could not be assured of victory at all.

“Master, I have stabilized the early stage of Qi refining. Is it difficult to deal with the two people following you? Let me help you. I have the Domain-Trapping Pearl and the Beishan medallion, so it will not be a problem!” In the cave residence, Su Qiao’er heard the dialogue between Lyu Liang and Black. Of course, she thought there were only two people.

“Qiao’er, there are five people, not two. And I suspect there may be more enemies. I have changed my strategy. Since they like to follow me so much, it will be a comparison of speed!” Lyu Liang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. With a slight sneer, he held a piece of mid-grade Primordial Stone, and supplemented his Primordial Qi while flying.

Previously, Lyu Liang used Primordial Qi in combination with Kun Peng Skill. A moment later, his Primordial Qi was almost replenished. Suddenly, he began to activate Devil Immortal Qi and the speed immediately increased by several grades.

The people following him were obviously stunned again. Subsequently, the person who was at the early stage of Void Return rushed out first, followed by a person at the peak of Nascent Soul stage. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the gap in the distance among the five people began to change due to the difference in cultivation level.

Lyu Liang was keenly observing the people behind. When he was aware of this situation, he and Black looked at each other and smiled a knowing smile.

“Qiao’er, you have to be ready with the Domain-Trapping Pearl. But you must not come out and help until I tell you, okay?”

“Yes, Master! I’m ready! This cave house is really good. I can clearly see everything outside.”

After the time it took to burn three pieces of incense, the one at the early stage of Void Return and the one at the peak of Nascent Soul were not very far apart. It was estimated that it would take only a few breaths length before they got close. But the latter three people would have to spend a longer time trying to catch up.

At this time, there was a lake below. Lyu Liang’s eyes lit up, he stopped suddenly, waited for a while and then turned instantly into a water column. Hiding the aura, he merged into the lake. The whole process was completed at one go and he spent even less time than it took for him to breathe.

While Lyu Liang waited, the people behind him were now very close. Originally, the cultivator at the early stage of Void Return had been observing Lyu Liang using his divine sense. But now, when Lyu Liang stopped, he suddenly felt nothing. While he was depressed about this, he was actually quite curious to find out the reason.

In fact, this was all Black’s contribution. Now the tacit understanding between Lyu Liang and Black, if not seamless, was almost perfect. This time it was the same. As soon as Lyu Liang stopped, Black immediately released a barrier to shield divine sense, until Lyu Liang converted into water. Then it also followed him into the lake.

A moment later, a masked man in a gray robe, appeared over the lake, with helpless confusion showing in his eyes. He seemed to be curious as to how the person he had been following could just disappear suddenly into thin air.

Just as he doubted himself, there came the man at the peak of Nascent Soul stage. The man had the same dress style and also looked very puzzled.

Just when the masked man at Void Return stage looked at his comrades, an incident occurred! From the originally calm lake surface, a column of water suddenly shot up almost instantaneously and appeared behind the masked man at Void Return stage!

This was the effect of Kun Peng Skill plus Devil Thunder Wing. However, it was enough for the man to react quickly due to his power of early Void Return stage. This fellow understood his disadvantageous situation, so he quickly extended the distance first, to facilitate his following actions.

However, as soon as he had this plan, he was surprised to find that there was a barrier ahead, which prevented him from moving half a step. “Domain-Trapping Pearl?” These were the last words of the masked man at Void Return stage.

Then a heaven-destructing aura came from behind. He released two magic treasures at the same time, but with the arrival of a streak of silver lightning, all of it became ashes and disappeared.

The masked person at the peak of Nascent Soul stage was stunned. Because he was too close to his companion, he was affected by the power of the lightning, and was knocked into the lake in an instant, by the shock wave.

Before he came out, a whirlpool of sword qi appeared and directly engulfed him, while he was still in a state of shock. After putting up a somewhat confused resistance for a while, he was eventually swallowed up by the endless sword qi. There was only one storage bag left and it was swept away by a stream of water.

The next moment, the figures of Lyu Liang and Su Qiao’er appeared on the lake. At the same time, a blue pearl returned to Su Qiaoer’s hand. Lyu Liang nodded approvingly and let her return to the cave residence.

Next, Lyu Liang ran Kun Peng Skill, activated the Devil Thunder Wing and flew towards the three men behind him at lightning speed. A moment later, he took on the two guys at the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Lyu Liang did not stop to chat. He directly ran Human-Beast Unite and activated Ghost Devil Head. His cultivation level instantaneously surged to near the early stage of Void Return!

The two men at late stage of Nascent Soul were obviously unprepared. Although they saw the silver lightning, before before they could stop, Lyu Liang was already close to them.

It was too late to retreat. It was also due to the contribution of endless sword qi that this time there were countless whip shadows. This was Lyu Liang’s latest invention of sword qi whirlpool mixed with God Whipping Whip. Anyway, his soul was strong enough and it was not very hard for him to control several magic treasures at one time. As long as it was not a protracted fight, it was effective enough to deter and kill the enemy.

Sure enough, in the time of just a few breathing efforts, these two unfortunate guys at the late stage of Nascent Soul, left only two storage bags floating in the air and were definitely dead.

As for the last person at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he must have figured out that things were not good and he ran off without a trace. Lyu Liang did not care. His purpose had been achieved, that is to warn these mysterious enemies: I Lyu Liang was not an easy person to provoke!

Then, looking at the three storage bags, Lyu Liang smiled happily. No man is rich without a windfall and no horse gets fat without evening grass! This is surely a famous saying!

When he scanned the surroundings again and found that no one else was there, Lyu Liang changed his direction of travel. This time, he really flew to the sword grave.

..............................

Half an hour later, an old man stood in the middle of a secret room of the Wen family in Northern Heaven District. This man was the patriarch of Wen family, who had followed Beishan Zhenhua before. Beside him stood a beautiful woman, who was also an acquaintance of Lyu Liang, Wen Ying. In front of them a man knelt, with the aura of middle Nascent Soul stage. It was the gray-coated masked man who had escaped from the group of five who had followed Lyu Liang.

“Report to Your Fire Emissary! Lyu Liang is really very difficult to deal with. The other four were destroyed before I could see what happened. I can assure you that the whole process took only an incense-burning time. And no matter what cultivation level, everyone was killed basically in a face-to-face counter!”

“Daddy, I told you at that time that this Lyu Liang is by no means an easy enemy to deal with. I suspect now that he may have been promoted to the early stage of Nascent Soul. After all, he has the woman who possesses Spirit-empty Body!”

“I thought this operation might fail, but I didn’t think it would be so tragic and so inexplicable! We don’t even have any clear details about him yet!”

“Dad, let his Highness know about it by reporting this to the Special Envoy. If it hadn’t been for this Lyu Liang, it would have provoked a deadly feud between the Beishan and Nangong families. Now not only did he destroy our plan, but he also killed eighth brother! This black pot of guilt, we must not be the one to carry it for him!”

“Ying’er you are right. I’ll report the whole thing to the Special Envoy in a minute! if I had known that, I should have listened to the words of Zihuo at Ghostly Fire Palace, either not to touch Lyu Liang, or to do my best to kill him! Alas, it seems that it is not so easy to defeat him. This time I really underestimated his strength!”

The old man said this, waved his hand and the man in the grey robe rose to say goodbye. When only father and daughter were left in the secret room, Wen Ying’s eyes showed a complex emotion and asked softly: “Daddy, can we really revive my mother if we do this? Can it also save our clans in the Nether Big World from slavery?”

The old man was stunned, then he turned his back and looked up to heaven and sighed: “Ying’er, are you doubting his Highness’s ability? Or, do you if there is a better way?”

Suddenly, Wen Ying’s eyes flashed with brilliance and said in a heavy voice: “Daddy, forgive your daughter for her rebellious words. That Lyu Liang, I have a hunch that he is a man who can create miracles. If we and him...”

“Nonsense! This is the first and also the last time! Don’t let me hear such nonsense again! What a joke! He’s alone! Can you compare him with the numerous disciples of un-Moon Palace and Ghostly Fire Palace? Can he alone free thousands of our clans from the sea of slavery? Stupid!” The old man’s eyes had been staring and after he finished speaking, he disappeared from the place.

Wen Ying seemed to have been prepared for her father’s attitude. After a while, she slowly raised her head and whispered to herself: “Sister Chenfeng, is he really the person you are going to entrust with your life? I envy you that you can still go back. But what about me? When my sword pierced the body of Nangong Qingxuan, it seemed that there was nothing left between me and him but endless hatred... However, I am not giving up and still want to try! If my life can be exchanged for the resurrection of my mother and the freedom of the clan, then what can’t be done?”
