The Devilish Immortal-Chapter 266 - Being a Favorite

Chapter 266 Being a Favorite

The Nether Big World, just like its name, was gloomy all day. There was no sun during the day and no stars and moon at night, everything was just pitch black.

At first, Lyu Liang intended to go to the market place not far away, to find out if there were any news, as planned by Zhu Yu.

However, their plans went awry when the psychic girl inside the cave residence, who was clinging to his body, regained consciousness. She started screaming loudly “Man…”…

When Lyu Liang heard her cries, he flew back immediately to the previously hidden place, to let the girl out and comforted her.

But unexpectedly, the girl became even more terrified the moment she saw Lyu Liang, and kept backing off. Her body started to emit a beam of vast aura automatically ,and her eyeballs also started to glow with a golden light.

At this critical moment, White shouted, “Change back to the guise of the barbarian, now!”

Lyu Liang thus did a shapeshift in a split second. As soon as he became the barbarian again, the girl who had already shot out two beams of silver shadows, was struck dumb. Then her aura faded and she became delicate and gentle as before. Rushing to Lyu Liang at top speed, she embraced Lyu Liang’s thick waist tightly. She cried and called out “Man…” happily, which indicated that she was really psyched, when she saw her barbarian coming back.

“Dude, that’s the side effect of you removing that Human-skin Scroll! Even though she has become independent, she still needs time to recover her sanity. Besides, it seems that she could only recognize the appearance of the barbarian. The important thing is that she is able to control part of her feelings, according to her own will, which may be a bad thing for her, rather than a good fortune in this place!” White said helplessly, while Lyu Liang also felt somewhat disturbed.

The first thing that Lyu Liang wanted to do when he got out of the trap previously, was to give the girl her freedom. According to White, the restriction formation imprisoning the girl would be released at once, along with the removal of the Human-skin Scroll. Lyu Liang had not hesitated at all when he heard that, and destroyed the Human-skin Scroll right on the spot…

That brought on White’s lecture immediately, “I have not finished yet… Why are you in such a hurry? It’s true that her restriction formation could be released, and it’s also possible for her to become a normal person again in the future, but that takes time… You don’t think that she will become normal the minute you removed the Human-skin Scroll, do you? Forget it. Now that you’ve destroyed it, you have to make her conceal herself when she regains her consciousness, so she won’t get you into trouble!”

At the moment, what White had said, became true. And the only thing that Lyu Liang could do was to continue to comfort the girl, using the guise of the barbarian.

Maybe the removal of the Human-skin Scroll did have some effect on the recovery of the girl’s sanity, as Lyu Liang managed to successfully coax the girl back to the cave residence, without having to use too much persuasion.

Seeing that the girl no longer embraced his legs desperately, Lyu Liang also felt relieved. That way, he could be more settled when he had to take actions.

What surprised Lyu Liang again was that the girl did not return to her cave residence that time, but directly appeared in the realm where the Yin Hell Token in the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation existed!

“The Spiritual Body is instinctively a follower of the Yin Hell Token. The sensing rule between them has surpassed the isolation power of the array unit early. She could have made it here by using her instinct. Besides, as she has just regained her freedom, the Yin-Hell Qi here is also very useful for the recovery of her sanity. Benefactor, you just go on and carry out your plan. I will take care of her with the array immortal.” Liu Linger’s explanation had truly given him peace of mind.

When Lyu Liang had just dealt with the girl, and was not ready to make the next move, a few beams of terrifying pressure suddenly came toward him!

“Dude, stay as who you are now! It’s too late to change at the moment! Let’s go with it!” White secretly transmitted his words to Lyu Liang, with a deep voice, which helped him make up his mind in an instant. He remained as the barbarian, and then walked out of the hidden place casually, feeling puzzled and alert.

There were at least four cultivators at the Peak of the Supreme Master stage around, observing him!

That was the first thing that Lyu Liang had perceived!

He felt helpless at the moment, knowing that what he was most worried about had happened. Although the girl just emitted the pressure within a split second, that had already attracted the notice of some powerful, sensitive people!

Like White said, there was no better way, except that he was still in the guise of the barbarian. As he was already surrounded by those powerful people, any unusual move would probably lead to a life and death fight….

“I hope that what happened to me in Icy Peak has not been transmitted here…” A fight to the death was a very bad idea. How would the people in the Wild Domain treat the barbarian? Lyu Liang could not tell. He just hoped that he could make it through this crisis through deception.

When he was totally out of the hidden place, several figures instantly appeared at his side. Glancing around, he found that there were more than seven of them. Two people were dressed alike, while the rest of them were dressed differently. That meant that they were not from the same organization.

As Lyu Liang was trying to figure out a way to deal with them, a man dressed in a golden robe at the peak of the Supreme Master stage, suddenly asked, “Are you the barbarian who came from Icy Peak?”

“Excuse me?” Lyu Liang was shocked by the person questioning him, as the man was obviously glad and greatly surprised to see him. He briefly observed the other cultivators, who were acting in the same way…

“Yes… No… What do you want to do? Who are you?” Lyu Liang continued to behave like an idiot, even though his expression was alert, as if he was prepared to fight at any time.

“Hey, hey, don’t misunderstand us, buddy! We bear no ill will here! I’m representing the second sect of the Darkness Country, the Purple Cloud Cave, to invite you to our place to be our guest!” Another youth wearing a set of purple clothes, strode forward directly, and said this, with cupped fists.

“You are also aware that you are from the second sect.” “The first sect has not spoken yet! Don’t listen to him. I’m Zhang Shuyun from Heaven Phoenix Mountain. We are the first sect of the Darkness Country. And we’ve been admiring your heroic deeds for a long time, so if you come with me, there will be a lot of good stuff waiting for you!” Another youth wearing a set of blue clothes, glanced at the previous man disdainfully, and then turned to Lyu Liang, with a smile on his face.

When they saw this situation, other people lost their reservedness and quickly came to Lyu Liang. They hurriedly introduced themselves, while trying to persuade him to go to their sects at the same time. Some of them even started dragging him to leave…

“What are you doing… Who is touching me below my waist?” When one person started to drag Lyu Liang, the others reacted as if they had suffered a great loss, and hastened to do the same thing. As a result, whether it was because they could not get a grip on him with their hands, or they knew that Lyu Liang had taken the Dragon-Tiger Pill, they indirectly touched the sensitive part below his waist…

Just as Lyu Liang felt very embarrassed and was getting ready to rid himself of these maniacs, a beam of earth-shaking pressure came down, which made the four people at the Peak of the Supreme Master stage, stop dragging him, and automatically tremble with fear.

“Humph! Dragging and pulling, what are you doing here? The Nether Big World honors those people with strength, but you should not force the strong ones to your side in this way! What a shame!” A voice of authority rang out. Although it was not said nicely, no one dared to contradict him. Even the four stronger people were also intimidated, and stood rooted to the spot.

After three beams of black light flashed by, three tall and strong men appeared. One of them looked at those people disdainfully with sharp eyes, and it seemed that he was the one who had spoken. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with glaringly obvious dragon patterns, with three heads.

What was surprising was his cultivation. Although he seemed to be also at the Peak of the Supreme Master stage, the horrible pressure he was giving out then, indicated otherwise. He was more like an Early-stage Tao Ancestor.

Behind him were two middle-aged men dressed in different clothes, who looked just as arrogant. Although they were both just Middle-stage Supreme Masters, their scorn was quite obvious, when they eyed those cultivators at the Peak of the Supreme Master stage.

“There is something you may not know, sir. What you did in Icy Peak has already spread around in the Wild Domain, and is known to everyone. On behalf of the Dark Reign, I will tell you that you are absolutely safe here! No one is going to punish you for what you did in Icy Peak. They are so enthusiastic, because they admire your power, and want you to be a part of them.” The youth in the black robe smiled. He glanced around disdainfully and fixed his gaze on Lyu Liang at last, saying, “Why did you come to the Nether Big World. Are you hoping to join a big power?”

Lyu Liang knew that the people were all powerful figures, so he replied solemnly, “My name is Man Zi, and I am from the Pangu Origin world! I like fighting since I was a little kid. I heard that you respect strong people, so I just came here to check it out. I did not expect that old witch actually wanted to refine me into something called sun source… You won’t do the same thing to me after I join you, right?” After saying that, he purposely had an alert expression on his face.

“… I’m really sorry. Those Demon bitches led by Frost Ancestor in Icy Peak are all losers in the Nether Big World. Countless elites who possessed many powers have been ruined by them. You are brave and smart, buddy, and have done many heroic deeds. You are definitely a person admired by all of us! Don’t worry. Since brother Hei Zhao has said that, you can pick any big power to follow in the Nether Big World! By the way, I’m Zhao Mingquan from the Tianshu Pavilion in the Luo Hou Country. We are ranked behind the Dark Reign in the Nether Big World, and would be honored to have you in our group!” A bald man on the left side of the youth, wearing a black robe smiled and said, with cupped fists. He spoke casually and respectfully, which made Lyu Liang feel very good.

At the moment, the man with a beard , standing beside Zhao Mingquan, shook his head and said, “Brother Mingquan, don’t push too hard… The biggest part of the Lu Tian Mineral Vein has already been occupied by the Tianshu Pavilion for more than 50 years, right? We finally have a chance this year, and now you are about to recruit such a big shot… Can you leave an opportunity for us?”

“It’s not that I’m ungenerous, buddy! It’s just that the situation this year is too complicated. The absolute main force of our sect is three senior brothers, but two of them are in closed door meditation and the last one is now a vagrant, so none of them would be here to fight with us. Except your sect, the Guang Jinlong Palace, the Wusha Cave and the Sun-Moon Palace have all recruited several people with matchless fighting capabilities this year… You see, in this situation, how could the Tianshu Pavilion fall behind.” Zhao Mingquan also complained. Then he patted the shoulder of the bearded man and said, “We will do everything as before. If the Tianshu Pavilion wins at last, one-third of the domain still belongs to the Yue Feng Nest Meeting! Besides, we have already announced publicly before, and if I fail to take the target person back, you know what a bad temper our Ancestor has… We’ve known each other for years, and you are not willing to see me die after this, are you?”

When he heard their conversation, Lyu Liang knew that even though he had just arrived, he was already a favorite among them. Then, he came up with a bold idea: Be a spy again and enter the Northern Mining Area aboveboard!

“You’ve reached an agreement?” The black-robed youth asked with a smile, and seeing the two of them nod tacitly, he again turned to Lyu Liang and said, “I’m Wu Yunlong, the deacon of the Dark Reign. My Taoism Title is Saint Hei Zhao. You’ve also heard the people behind me. Would you like to join the Tianshu Pavilion? Their Ancestor Tianshu has said that you will be a core disciple inside the Tianshu Pavilion, so long as you agree to join them. And in the future, you could even become a member of the Dark Reign! What’s more, the things that you are worrying about, I can guarantee with the name of the Dark Reign, would never happen again!”

Lyu Liang pretended to hesitate a little bit, and then he nodded and said, “Well.. Then I’m going to the Tianshu Pavilion! It doesn’t matter whether or not I’m an inside disciple. I just want to take advantage of my strength!”

“Then, you are my Junior Brother Man now. As your senior brother, I will bring you back to see the Ancestor! From now on, you are one of our core disciples in the Tianshu Pavilion! I’m sorry, everyone!” Zhao Mingquan raced to Lyu Liang and dragged him directly away. He did not resist this time and just followed Zhao Mingquan. Then they disappeared straight away.

The rest felt helpless about the unreasonable arrangement by Saint Hei Zhao, so they did not say anything more, and just left quietly.

…

Moments later, when there were only Saint Hei Zhao and the bearded man, they both had complex looks on their faces.

If anyone was there with them, they would surely be startled by the scene, at that moment!

The bearded man who was submissive before, straightened his body, his face had an expression of dignity that was exclusive for superiors, and said deeply, “That’s him… The whole Nether Big World would know about him joining the Tianshu Pavilion within a day! Try to make him meet that milord. Once they meet, beware of the people who have evil intentions against them again!”

Saint Hei Zhao, who had been arrogant before, bowed respectfully at the time and said, “Don’t worry, Milord Zangetsu. Within the realm of the Wild Domain, we can keep that milord safe even when the Divine Imperial Court turns out in full force!”

The bearded man shook his head and said, “I mean it won’t be just the people from the Divine Imperial Court. The situation is not so tricky before Lyu Liang meets that milord, but those old guys won’t just stand by, when they get together! What’s more, several organizations are specially targeting Lyu Liang. Once the time is right, they will reveal themselves at once! So, remember, any carelessness could cause the situation to be out of our control!”

“I get it, sir! Now I will go back and make some arrangements!” Saint Hei Zhao cupped his fists respectfully, and then vanished.

“This white war, no one can afford a defeat…” The bearded man sighed toward the sky at the time. Then he bowed respectfully toward the Void and said, “You just came on time, milord Madonna! I’m Saint God Zangetsu in the Hell Organization. On behalf of the only existing three Shenhuang, thanks for your kind help!”

After a beam of dark light flashed by, a young lady dressed in palace clothing made of crepe, appeared. She was extremely beautiful and cold, and said indifferently, “I’m not interested in the matters of your world. I’m here, because someone has made it necessary for me to come.”

The bearded man still said respectfully, “I understand! I just hope that if someone triggers the restriction formation, you could…”

“You don’t need to say that. I will step in anyway.” The young lady interrupted him coldly. Then she said cheerfully with a wicked smile like a little girl, “The two idiots. I really want to see their faces when they see me here. I’m so excited about it!”
