Chapter 47 The Fifth Person
Chapter 47 The Fifth Person
When Zhu Yan saw that, he quickly stopped Lyu Liang and said, “Brother Lyu, this place is very strange. Our cultivation are limited at the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment. It is difficult to go out. I wonder how it is outside. Alas, I am so regretful!” After saying that, he hammered his head with annoyance.
“My Wutong Sect was unfortunate to raise such scum and involve the two of you.” The red-haired old man who did not speak sighed at this moment, and then slowly said, “More than two hundred years ago, Junior Brother Water-dragon obtained a remnant of a Cultivation Method from nowhere, and inside it contained an evil method that required the blood sacrifice of mortal kids! It is said that if the cultivation is successful, one’s strength will be stronger than cultivators of the same stage. I opposed resolutely but later, Junior Brother kept me in this ‘small Qian Kun Storage Bag’ when I was unaware. This magic treasure is at the Void Return level and was passed down by his ancestors, and this is where we are now.”
“Then, is there any way to break this space magic treasure?” Lyu Liang was anxious with an increasing feeling of guilt. If the green-shirt woman and the others encountered misfortune because of him, he would be too ashamed to continue to cultivate.
“The small Qian Kun Storage Bag is a copy of the Immortal standard upper-grade magic treasure ‘Qian Kun Storage Bag’. As long as there is a blow that is comparable to the power of a Fairy Immortal, it can break the prohibition. However, with our level at Foundation Establishment, don’t even think about it.” Fire-dragon Immortal shook his head and sighed, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Lyu Liang gnawed his teeth and looked at the two people in front of him. He said in a deep voice, “You two, I have a way to break it. Later, the power of the move will be very strong, so please defend yourself well. It will be bad if you get injured by mistake!”
...
At this time, where Lyu Liang had disappeared, the young man in white at the Late-stage of Gold Core was fighting with the Water-dragon Immortal. There were five other yellow-clothed Wutong Sect disciples attacking him as well. All the Wutong Sect disciples, including the Water-dragon Immortal, exuded a thick Demon Qi.
The young man in white had injuries all over his body, but he was still fighting. Behind him, there was a blue protective shield with the green-shirt woman and many children inside. Outside, there were more than a dozen yellow-clothed disciples who were attacking the protective shield in various ways. It seemed that it would only last for a short time.
“Brother Hao! I beg you to run! At most, I will detonate my demon soul and not let them harm this group of children!” The green-shirt woman was already bursting into tears, and her eyes were filled with determination and reluctance while watching the young man fighting bloodily.
“Little Cui! There’s no need to talk so much! Today, even if I die here, I will never back down! Damn these demons. You will never lay a finger on them!” The young man in white had a determined look, and at the same time, a clear air emerged from the top of his head.
“Kid, you actually started to burn your soul? It’s useless, and you will just last for a bit longer! I shall see how long you can hold on!” Traces of black Qi started to appear on Water-dragon Immortal’s fat face, and he no longer had that elegant look before. Then, he sneered, “Thanks to that stupid kid, I didn’t expect that he would be so strong at the Late-stage of Gold Core. Oh, unfortunately, he had to go and accompany my senior brother! What a stupid...”
“Boom”, a loud noise resounded, and at the same time a voice full of endless anger and killing intent sounded, “I dare you to repeat what you said just now! Go and die!”
Water-dragon Immortal was shocked. When he turned his head, he found that the small Qian Kun Storage Bag and the disciples holding it had already turned into ash.
At this moment, Lyu Liang was torn and tattered. He emitted a strong aura with an abundant Sword Essence and directly pounced on Water-dragon Immortal! At the same time, countless sword flowers and silver sword lights of varying lengths were also scattered.
At the same time that Lyu Liang rushed over, Zhu Yan and Fire-dragon Immortal moved, and their targets were the disciples around them.
Seeing that the green-shirt woman and the young man in white were still alive, and the children were also safe for now, Lyu Liang heaved a sigh of relief. However, he felt even more guilty. Gradually, the endless Sword Qi formed a circle that trapped the Water-dragon Immortal inside.
“Do, domain?! No, impossible, he, he is only at the Late-stage of Gold Core! No, I have to go quickly!” Water-dragon Immortal squinted his eyes and felt a shiver down his spine. Suddenly, he took out a golden Talisman from his arms, crushed it, and then disappeared.
“A teleportation Talisman? Bastard!” Lyu Liang was so irritated. He had almost caught him, how could he let him escape? Therefore, Lyu Liang directly transferred his anger to the remaining Wutong Sect disciples.
Thirty minutes later, there was no trace of Wutong Sect disciples to be found, they were all dead with their souls crushed, and no remnants were left.
Lyu Liang looked up at the sky and howled, then he rushed to the front of the green-shirt woman. “Plop”, he knelt on the ground and made three heavy kowtows, then his head stayed on the ground and he refused to get up.
At this point, the yellow shield had disappeared, and more than a dozen children rushed out. Numerous fists landed hard on Lyu Liang who kneeled on the ground, and they kept crying, “Why did you bully Aunt Cui! I’ll kill you, bad guy! Kill you!!!”
Although the fists that landed on Lyu Liang’s body felt as light as a feather, they were heavily pressed against Lyu Liang’s heart, and he did not even dare to look up. Tears had already blurred his eyes. He had no idea how to make up for the mistakes he had made.
“Kids, forget it, I am still okay, right? I can still read and write with you in the future.” The green-shirt woman spoke, her voice was very soft, and her breath was vague, “Aunt Cui only has a small injury, I will be fine after I consult a physician. You can let go of this uncle. He did not do it on purpose.”
At this time, the young man in white also came over and stopped the children. At the same time, he helped Lyu Liang up and said sincerely, “Taoism peer, thank you for your help! I hope that you can get rid of the evils and restore the peace here. Even if Little Cui and I were dead, we would be thankful for your graciousness!”
Lyu Liang felt so ashamed of himself! He wiped his eyes and said slowly, “I was too impulsive, and let the two Taoism peers suffer such great ordeal! I will not pardon those bastards of the Wutong Sect! Please rest assured!”
Zhang Hao and Little Cui looked at each other and smiled, and Little Cui told Lyu Liang through a message, “Taoism peer, Brother Hao’s and my wish are fulfilled with your promise. I was a kingfisher. I was seriously injured a hundred years ago. Fortunately, I was saved by Brother Hao. We fell in love and became a Taoist couple. When we passed by here, we discovered the secret of the Wutong Sect, so we stayed here to protect the children from harm.”
“Now, my demon core is broken, and I have burnt my demon soul, I am afraid that I will die soon. Brother Hao’s soul has also been broken. I am afraid that he will not have much time left as well. We want to lie to the children that we will go out for medical treatment, please cooperate with us. In addition, these children, we haven’t thought of a way to settle them, and we will have to trouble you for that.” The green-shirt woman finished her message, and her eyes beamed again, and she started to play with the children around her.
Kids were kids, and when they saw Aunt Cui who was lying on the ground get rejuvenated again, they cheered. Zhang Hao, who was on the side also showed a happy smile.
Only Lyu Liang was unable to smile. Because of his impulsiveness, he caused a Taoist couple to die soon, and this would be the Inner Devil in his lifetime!
At this point, Zhu Yan walked over and gently patted Lyu Liang’s shoulder and whispered, “Brother Lyu, no worries, I have a way to let them recover.”
Upon hearing that, Lyu Liang was surprised and looked at Zhu Yan in joy, his hands kept shaking his shoulders, and said ecstatically, “Brother Zhu! Is what you said true! Say it, how do I actually do it? Even if I had to search the world, I would not hesitate!”
At this moment, Lyu Liang completely ignored the big opportunity of the Land of Origin. Even if someone asked him to use the Demon Emperor Horn to exchange for the cultivation and life of Zhang Hao and Little Cui, he would not hesitate!
“Er, brother Lyu, calm, calm down! Let go of me first. I am dying from your shaking...” Under the violent shaking of Lyu Liang, Zhu Yan’s body almost formed afterimages...
Lyu Liang smiled sheepishly, and quickly let go of his hands, staring at Zhu Yan’s pale face in anticipation.
“Keke, in fact, you do not have to search the three realms. I wonder if brother Lyu knows of the Land of Origin in the Demon Realm? It is said that in its core area, there is a secret method to refine the demon core. However, the legendary Demon Emperor Horn is needed to enter the core area. That horn is a rare treasure found in between heaven and the earth. If brother Lyu can enter the Land of Origin, then you can find a way to find it. When mortals, demons, and devils gather together, there may be people with such a treasure.” Zhu Yan massaged his shoulder and said slowly.
Lyu Liang was overjoyed! Land of Origin! Demon Emperor Horn! He had everything! Who cared about the secret that needed to be kept, as long as it could save the two people and help them to recover, so what if the secret was leaked!
“Then, then their souls are already incomplete, what can we do about that?” Lyu Liang felt happy at first, but when he thought of the problem about the soul, he felt depressed.
“Hey, brother Lyu just made efforts to eradicate the demon. I am not as good as you, but I can do my part too. Look, what is this?” Zhu Yan smiled mysteriously and took out two small items from his arms.
Lyu Liang squinted his eyes and was then overwhelmed with joy, “Soul Cultivation Tree! You actually have a Soul Cultivation Tree! Haha, now there is a way!”
In Zhu Yan’s hand were two small pieces of Soul Cultivation Tree! Lyu Liang already knew the method, and when he felt the strong Immortal Qi that the tree was emitting, he knew he was right!
“Oh, in the past few years, by chance, I entered a remnant of the cave residence that once belonged to a powerful figure. I had a small harvest there. The red bead and these two small pieces of Soul Cultivation Tree were my gains. Anyway, they would be useless even if I kept them, so why not make full use of them!”
After that, Zhu Yan handed the two pieces of Soul Cultivation Tree to Zhang Hao and Little Cui respectively. Right now, the two of them were greatly surprised.
“This, this, this is really the Soul Cultivation Tree! Little Cui! Your demon soul will no longer collapse! And, after your last injury, your demon soul has not been completely restored, with this, you can recover completely!” Zhang Hao felt most excited as if his own soul did not matter, but what was more important to him was the soul of Little Cui.
Little Cui felt excited too, Zhang Hao and her exchanged a look with each other and were about to make a big bow to Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan quickly held them up and scratched his head embarrassingly, “Don’t bow! I am also a culprit that had caused you to encounter such a situation. Since I can’t use these things, you guys should take it so as to lessen my guilt! However, I wonder if you two are interested in following us to the Land of Origin that is opening soon? I have a small cave residence that can accommodate you both.”
Zhang Hao and Little Cui pondered for a moment, cupped their heads and said, “Thank you Taoism peer! We will never forget your help! We are willing to go with you to the Land of Origin in the Demon Realm!”
After Lyu Liang heard that, he asked immediately, “Brother Zhu, do you have a team to go to the Land of Origin?” In Lyu Liang’s heart, he had recognized Zhu Yan already. Although he did not know him fully, he was a person who was willing to take upon sin and help countless mortal children, and he also gave others the Soul Cultivation Trees without hesitation. Surely this person was trustworthy with these two points!
“Oh? Oh, I do not have a team yet. However, my father used to participate in the qualification test of entering the Land of Origin. He once said that at that time, there would be many recruiting teams in Zishui Country. They are all Boundless Cultivators like me without a family or sect and want to try their luck. I will go and see if I can find a suitable team!” Zhu Yan laughed as if it was a relaxing thing to go to the Land of Origin.
Lyu Liang did not hesitate, cupped his hand and said, “If brother Zhu doesn’t look down on me, my team is missing one person. Brother Zhu’s prediction was right, and I came out this time to find the fifth teammate. Now, I have finally found him! I hope that Brother Zhu can help us!” As for the Demon Emperor Horn, all would be good eventually, and it would not be too late to think about it.
When Zhu Yan heard these words, he was overjoyed too. He happily cupped his hand and bowed back, “Oh, what a coincidence! In that case, of course, I am willing to join brother Lyu’s team! I believe in brother Lyu, and the other three people in the team are people with good quality and morals! What else can I ask for! However, my cultivation is not very high, and I am afraid that I may drag you down!”
Lyu Liang laughed. All the problems were solved. Not only did he find a way to save Zhang Hao and Little Cui, but he also confirmed the choice for the team’s last member.
Now, the trip to the Land of Origin was in a year’s time!
Of course, there was still a small matter to settle now! The Wutong Sect! It was time to let these unscrupulous demons pay off their debts!
