The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 97 A Strange Enemy

At the moment, as Murong Wuji waved his paintbrush, streaks of ink filled the air. After 30 minutes, a layer of ink shield covered them.

At this point, Mu Xiaozi bit her finger with her teeth to squeeze out a few drops of blood, and then put her finger on Lyu Liang’s lips. To her surprise, the color of the blood was not red, but blue!

As the blue blood continually flowed through his teeth, Lyu Liang’s furrowed brows relaxed and the black Qi surrounding his body did not seem as strong as it had been before.

About half an hour later, the black Qi around Lyu Liang’s body had almost dissipated, and the expression of pain on his face gradually receded. Mu Xiaozi, however, gritted her teeth. The color of the blood flowing out of her finger was a mixture of blue and bright red, and the color of half of her hair had turned into a silvery hue.

Murong Wuji was watching silently, but at this moment, he shook his head and sighed, “Blue-soul Blood, one of the rumors of the five great divine blood. It is as extraordinary as expected. It can even repair the soul damage caused by the Original Sin Hellfire. Unfortunately, it will be the first and the last time she can use the blood...”

After another half an hour, the color of the blood flowing out of Mu Xiaozi’s finger had completely turned into a normal red color and the color of her hair had turned white. Looking at Lyu Liang, who breathed naturally without any black Qi, she could not support herself anymore but fell upon him.

In the meantime, Lyu Liang opened his eyes. After sighing at the sky, he sat up and stared at Mu Xiaozi, who was lying on his lap, with a mixture of emotions spreading over his face.

As soon as the blue blood flew into his mouth, Lyu Liang found that the pain of his Divine Soul had suddenly lessened. With the continuous inflow of blue blood, the hellfire in his body slowly began to disappear, as if it met with a nemesis. Of course, he could also clearly feel the changes in Mu Xiaozi’s body.

At this point, he was totally convinced that Mu Xiaozi would be Zi Tong Fairy in another life, and what he had done before was just to reward Zi Tong Fairy’s kindness in the next life. However, he had never imagined such results on account of karma!

At this moment, Murong Wuji said in a deep voice, “You should cherish this girl since she cares so much about you! She has fainted temporarily because of the loss of devine blood, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Mu Xiaozi woke up 30 minutes later. After discovering Lyu Liang looking at her thoughtfully and that she was lying on his lap, she immediately stood up with a red face.

Mu Xiaozi seemed to recall something, and her face darkened again. She whispered, “Sorry, I can only help you repair the soul, but the hellfire...”

Lyu Liang stroked Mu Xiaozi’s head and whispered softly, “Xiaozi, never say that please. What I did for you is much less than what you did for me. Xuanli Liang deeply appreciates your big favor and will pay you back forever!”

Meanwhile, Murong Wuji also duly teased, “Girl, it was Xuanli Taoism peer’s welfare to meet you! You lost your divine blood. What if he burned in hellfire since you even lost your divine blood? Moreover, by right of his great hellfire sin, he will absolutely be among the top of the cultivators at the same level once he survives this ordeal, and the leapfrog challenge would then be quite ordinary!”

However, Mu Xiaozi still lowered her head, holding her white long hair, and muttered, “My blue hair has turned white. Am I ugly?”

Lyu Liang seemed to be prepared. He smiled and said very slowly in a low voice, “Xiaozi, your hair is as white as snow and shines like silver. Do you know it is the most beautiful color I have ever seen in my life?”

Mu Xiaozi did not smile through her tears until she heard his words. At the moment, Lyu Liang also bowed to Murong Wuji and said solemnly, “Thank you for your help, Taoism brother Murong. If I go to the Divine Bow Sect, I must thank you again!”

Subsequently, after their discussion, the three of them decided to continue to the other branches, and they would go on killing the opponents if they could. After all, the second division almost had not encountered such dogged resistances before.

After half an hour, they arrived at the third branch of Xueling Sect. It was Lyu Liang who went in to destroy the Formation Key, and then swept through the branch with Murong Wuji. Mu Xiaozi had learned from her experience, so she followed Lyu Liang wherever he went and hid behind him. In the meantime, she was busy killing some lower-level disciples of the Xueling Sect occasionally.

Still, none of the disciples they killed was a Fairy Immortal or was at the Void Return stage! Then, they destroyed the first branch, and did not find any higher-level disciple. Just when everyone was puzzled, a voice-transmitting note appeared in front of Mu Xiaozi.

Mu Xiaozi froze and then said in astonishment, “Hey! This is the family note, which is used only in cases of emergency by our tribe. Is there something wrong with the tribe? I have to go back!”

After hearing what she said, Lyu Liang frowned. Although they approached the fourth branch, he had to make Mu Xiaozi’s matter a priority since Mu Xiaozi wanted to go back now and this matter could be related to the safety of the Zi Tong Tribe.

Lyu Liang did not hesitate but said in a deep voice, “Xiaozi, enter my cave residence and we’ll speed up our return! Taoism brother Murong, you can destroy the fourth branch first. If there’s a strong enemy there, you should run. I’ll come back after handling the matter in the tribe.”

Murong Wuji nodded and said, “Okay! Zi Tong Tribe? I know its approximate location, and I’ll come to you after I destroy the fourth branch!”

...

After a while, Lyu Liang arrived at the Zi Tong Tribe, and Mu Xiaozi also came out of the cave residence at the same time. However, they immediately found out that something was very wrong! They saw that the Sect-Protection Formation, which had been so magnificent before, was looming at this time and apparently had become vulnerable, and that more than half of the well-arranged houses in the formation had also collapsed.

They were still in a state of shock, when a person flew out of the formation. He was Mu Xiaozi’s father. At this point, he was crying anxiously, “Xiaozi! You’re back! Something happened in our clan! Come, follow me to see the patriarch!”

After hearing what he said, Mu Xiaozi was so horrified that she immediately flew to the stone house where the patriarch lived with her father, without even giving Lyu Liang any details. Lyu Liang frowned, but kept pace with them.

“Xiaoliang, something is very wrong. Do you still remember the thing concerning the Wutong Sect in the past? Xiaozi’s father seemed to have a certain smell, which was nonexistent when I first met him...” Although Black did not say more, Lyu Liang fully understood.

Mu Xiaozi’s father actually gave off the smell of the familiar half-demon Qi. If Lyu Liang had not encountered the same people before, he might not have reacted so quickly.

The disciples of Xueling Sect obviously had started cultivating evil formation early, since the Demon Qi on them had been so strong. As Mu Xiaozi’s father’s Demon Qi was not strong, he should just be entering this field.

Lyu Liang also noticed that no other tribes had made an appearance even though such a big event had happened. This was definitely very strange! Because Mu Xiaozi was involved in this matter, she apparently did not notice this in time!

However, Lyu Liang broke in without hesitation though he felt false. Although he set off later, he arrived at the stone house at almost the same time as Mu Xiaozi and her father by virtue of his great speed.

Subsequently, the door of the stone house opened, and Xiaodan showed up. At this time, he told Xiaozi, “Xiaozi, you’re back at last. The patriarch is dying. Go and take a look quickly!”

In the Zi Tong tribe, the patriarch treated Mu Xiaozi the best, among all the others. Therefore, Mu Xiaozi rushed into the stone house without saying anything, for she had a deep affection for the patriarch.

The old patriarch was still sitting on the big chair in the stone house, but his aura was so weak that he could probably die at any moment. Seeing Mu Xiaozi and Lyu Liang coming in, he said with a smile, “Xiaozi, come in. Give me the two blue stones that I gave you before. I have something to tell you.”

Lyu Liang frowned, but it was not for him to stop her. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to follow her.

A imperceptible line of self-conceit flickered across Xiaodan’s eyes at this time, but he did not notice that an instant glint flashed across the eyes of the old man, who was like a candle flickering in the wind.

Xiaozi did not suspect anything but took out two blue stones from her arms and handed them to the old patriarch respectfully. She asked eagerly, “Grandpa, what the hell is going on? Why are you...”

The old patriarch waved at Mu Xiaozi with a smile and whispered, “Xiaozi, stop asking questions. Just listen to me.”

Then, they did nothing but stared at each other. After a while, Mu Xiaozi suddenly opened her eyes in horror and shook her head desperately. She blurted, “Impossible! You, you...”

Xiaodan, who was standing behind her, had a sudden change in his countenance, bursting out with an aura that was at the Peak of Nascent Soul stage. However, there was a strong Demon Qi involved in it. A long sword appeared in his hand, and he hurriedly went for Mu Xiaozi.

Lyu Liang had already grown uneasy about Xiaodan. At the moment when Xiaodan’s momentum broke, he already activated his Devil Immortal Qi with Feiling and Blood-bone in his hands and started to display the Sword Tao Field Domain!

Xiaodan was obviously unprepared for Lyu Liang’s rapid response. Finding that he was already in the encirclement of the endless Sword Qi, he gritted his teeth and suddenly withdrew.

With a loud bang, the stone house collapsed and Xiaodan flew out transversely. Lyu Liang stood by with his sword in front of Mu Xiaozi and the old patriarch.

At this point, a large number of disciples of Xueling Sect had gathered outside the house, some of whom were of the Zi Tong tribe, and Lyu Liang felt extraordinarily uncomfortable when he saw the old man with the red mustache whom he had met with Mu Xiaozi’s father previously!

At this moment, the old patriarch’s face had turned gray, and his mouth was bleeding. He said softly to Mu Xiaozi, “Girl, remember my words and the spell and don’t be bound by the fate of the Zi Tong tribe...”

Before the old patriarch finished speaking, he closed his eyes peacefully. Mu Xiaozi was choking with sobs. After a while, she stood up and glared at Xiaodan, who was standing in front of countless disciples of Xueling Sect.

Xiaodan said first, “Xiaozi, if you give me the key to the Brahma Divine Realm, I will spare your life! Oh, it seems that you have lost the Blue-soul Blood. It’s such a pity, you could have become a powerful figure of your generation, but you used it to help others instead. I don’t understand.”

“You, you actually made my father and other clansmen... I treated you as my brother! Bah!” Mu Xiaozi looked at her father, who was expressionless with anger, then she seemingly rushed forward to put up a desperate fight with her sword in her hand.

Lyu Liang’s face was as hard as stone, and he whispered to Mu Xiaozi, “Xiaozi, leave this to me. I’ll try not to hurt your father and those clansmen. But I must kill this person!”

“Hey! Junior, whether you can kill him depends on me. Without my permission, even a dog of mine can’t be killed!” Suddenly, a voice that sounded familiar to Lyu Liang could be heard. Then, a huge cloud of black mist appeared in the sky, and a thin black-robed man slowly showed up with the cultivation aura which was almost at the Late-stage of Fairy Immortal.

As the black-robed man showed up, all the demons of Xueling Sect, including Xiaodan, respectfully kneeled and bowed, and they shouted at the same time, “Sincere welcome to Xueling Ancestor!”

As he looked on in horror, Lyu Liang made out that this person was the master of Xueling Sect!

Lyu Liang activated his Devil Immortal Qi without any hesitation. Human-Beast Unite, Kun Peng Skill Devil and Thunder Wing were aroused at the same time and came down upon the black-robed man in an instant, which motivated a devil thunder attack! Seeing a streak of silver lightning whistling down, the black-robed man did not hide but emitted dark lights to form a cover around him.

After suffering a burst of violent aura, the black-robed man’s clothes were already ruined, but he was not seriously injured. At this point, he was screaming, “My gosh! You scared me! No wonder Xiaowu, who was at the Early-stage of Fairy Immortal, managed to be killed by you! However, is this trick a one-off? I can’t feel its aura!”

After seeing the true face of the black-robed man, Lyu Liang was totally astonished. After a while, he screamed, “Tai Su Ancestor Lord?”
