The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 344 A Splendid Killing Array

“... What happened?! I’ve been told that the situation of the culture test is even more complicated, but this...” At night, Lyu Liang was in the cave residence, staring at the two bags that Wen Xiaojing handed back to him, silently.

He was surprised because the Primordial Stones in the Qian Kun Storage Bag he had given her were not reduced. What’s more, there were nearly 1,000,000 upper-grade Primordial Stones in one of the bags...

“No wonder there was a culture test, they specially set it to complement the score of the wushu test. The rule is that you have to give the array immortal money. If you pay more than other people, you can get a place to take part in the next round.” Wen Xiaojing said lightly.

“Well... what about the additional Primordial Stones are.... The array immortal has become your fan?” Lyu Liang thought about it over and over again, finding that that seemed to be the only explanation, even though it was a bit far-fetched.

“Haha. You’re right. It became my fan, but I’ve also taken advantage of the situation. Do you know what array that is?” Wen Xiaojing said proudly. “That’s actually the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang, one of the four extremely unusual raw arrays among the 36 miraculous arrays! It was created by immortal Six Tao. Its principle, simply speaking, is that so long as there are sufficient Spirit Stones, it will be possible for the person who has started the array to remain in his peak form forever! For example, if you are the person who started the array, once you further activate the Divine Mark, you’ll be able to remain in this state until the Spirit Stones are used up. Later, as long as you eliminate the Divine Mark before the big array becomes invalid, after coming out of the array, you are not only safe and sound, but will also able to continue to use the Divine Mark!”

“What!” Lyu Liang brightened, and then asked with distrust, “But what does that have anything to do with the array immortal giving you Primordial Stones?”

“I’m the person who started the array now, idiot!” Wen Xiaojing smiled cunningly and said again, “The array trigger for the raw array is not some prohibited treasure, but a song! It’s said that immortal Six Tao had an elegant disposition, and experienced a lot of different things. When he created the 36 miraculous arrays, he had set necessary triggering conditions for some sophisticated array units. For all I know, the Death Array needs a specific prohibited treasure, and the raw array needs a specific song, which is called ‘Song for Array Entering’...”

As she said that, Wen Xiaojing suddenly became upset, and said softly, “That comes from the mind of the first-generation top powerful figure in our Wen Clan...”

“Can he play the music?” Lyu Liang asked her instantly.

“What? No, no, he can’t... Thank you!” Wen Xiaojing was puzzled at first, but she was such a smart girl, and understood his meaning right away, while her face beamed with happy smiles again.

“Haha, don’t underestimate yourself so easily. Those powerful figures are already gone. If you are not good, you just can’t meet the mark... What? Oh, crap!” Lyu Liang did not finish his sentence, when he was startled by something.

Wen Xiaojing’s response was faster. While Lyu Liang was still speaking, she pulled him up and they disappeared together in a split second.

Almost at the same time, without any sign, the entire cave residence was suddenly shattered into pieces, after a light tearing sound was heard. The next second, a weird monster, which looked like a ball, appeared in the Void. His sharp teeth shone brightly in the night sky. Instantly, after a burst of fluctuations in the space, he disappeared, too...

In a dim, endless starless sky, Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing suddenly emerged.

“Wa!” Wen Xiaojing spat out a mouthful of blood. It was because that she had used the Skill of Space Shift again.

“Xiaojing, are you okay? Go into the cave residence... Son of bitch!” Lyu Liang had intended to bring her into the cave residence, but then he found that the cave residence clinging to his body, as well as the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, had all been separated from him by one kind of creepy sealing power!

“It’s okay. I can take care of myself now...” Wen Xiaojing gave him a wry smile and said, “They are really regarding you as a formidable enemy... Soul Shadow and Gold Budda... One is very vicious. The other one is the most difficult to deal with. And then there is also a Guardian for Wood. That’s a strong team. Are you a Divine Ancestor or what?”

“Eh? How do you know I’m the Guardian for Wood?” Li Xiaolang appeared first, and asked curiously. “My identity as the Guardian for Wood should be still a secret up till now?”

“He killed Yao Wenlong. The Divine Ancestor Palace will surely send someone as powerful as the eight Immortal Generals down to kill him. If you are only a leader of the Infernal Purgatory, it’s impossible for you to come down with the two Immortal Generals.” Wen Xiaojing paused, and then said with a smile, “Besides, if my analysis is right, although you’ve covered it well, the attack we received before should be the word ‘Ba’ in the mantra of six words of Gold Budda. And then with your Skills of Timber Wolf, and the skill of ‘Illusion for Space Shifting’ exerted by Soul Shadow...”

“If you leave Lyu Liang now, the Guardian for Wood and I would not do anything to him...” The quiet Gold Budda said at the moment. Although his eyes were closed, his face was obviously showing an expression of approval.

“I was injured by the power of the Tao. If I’m alone... I don’t think I can be a match for the ‘Worm Demon’, one of the two talents in the Ji Clan, so I’ll have a quicker death, once I leave Lyu Liang. And...” Wen Xiaojing smiled. And then she turned her head and directly kissed Lyu Liang on his face, which surprised everyone on the site. “He is my Taoist companion in my life. I’ve already given my Life-Soul to him! “I guess, there is no reason for you to kill him now. The rules of the Sanctuary, you know!”

Lyu Liang was surprised at first, but then he felt real gratitude to her. Although he knew that Wen Xiaojing was just trying to buy them some time, it took a lot of courage for a girl to announce this publicly, even though she was the so called golden flower in the Sanctuary. In the meantime, he also understood that her title as the “First Female Adviser” was never in name only!

As expected, when the other three people heard her words, they were all stunned, especially Gold Budda, who smiled and said with folded hands, “I believe you, miss! If so, I’m leaving now!” Then ignoring how the other two would act, he disappeared right on the spot.

Li Xiaolang on the other side, rolled his eyes, looking a little joyful. Then he turned to speak to Donghuang Lifeng, whose face was darkening, “You heard that? If I remember correctly, this is the matter between the Wen Clan and the Yao Clan, so it seems that we don’t have any business here right now. I’m going, too, but I won’t be far away, either. Bye bye.” When he finished speaking, he also disappeared.

“Are you kidding me! This girl of the Wen Clan is just trying to buy time! There is a huge gap between their statuses, so it’s impossible that they are Taoist companions! That is a lie!” Donghuang Lifeng hesitated for a short while, and then he said firmly, “I don’t believe that, unless there is an order from the Divine Ancestor Palace. Otherwise, I won’t give up! If you want to go, just go. Without you two, I can also kill them both! Worm Demon, the plan has changed. Now, it’s your time to make a move!”

“The girl of the Wen Clan is known to be smart, so it’s easy for you to come up with that perfect idea. But, whether or not he is your Taoist companion, that’s none of my business! No matter what, you just have to die!” An obscure voice was heard and a wack wearing blue clothes which was printed with stripes of three dragon heads, appeared. He had wrapped himself tightly with the robe, and only his yellow eyes were visible, shining with excitement at the moment.

“Eh?” The minute Lyu Liang saw him, he felt very uncomfortable, while a strong sense of aversion rose from his heart.Access v ip novel

“Eh? I see... Interesting! You are annoying me, so before I get rid of Wen Xiaojing, I will kill you first!” The blue-robed wack was also stunned when he saw Lyu Liang. Then he seemed to be so eager to kill Lyu Liang.

“The Bug Demon is one of two talents in the Ji Clan. No one has ever seen his real body. I only know that he is good at mastering the bugs!” Wen Xiaojing turned her head to look at Lyu Liang and said softly, “Do you feel that you hate him? That’s right then. That’s because the bugs he masters are also from the horror beast clan, just like your Spirit Swallowing Bugs. They are called Phantom bugs. The reason you two hate each other is because the two kinds of horror beasts have always been natural enemies!”

“... I can’t release my Spirit Swallowing Bugs. That’s not fair.” Lyu Liang was a little nervous. He now realized how powerful the Spirit Swallowing Bugs were. At the moment, there were the horror beasts which were their natural enemies. He did not think they were an easy matter to deal with.

“Hey, if you live, then I’ll live, right?” At that critical moment, Wen Xiaojing did not panic at all. She suddenly smiled at Lyu Liang brightly. Seeing the softness in her eyes, even Donghuang Lifeng was not sure if they were truly Taoist companions at the time...

“Even if I die, you won’t die, either!” Lyu Liang smiled, and then hugged Wen Xiaojing voluntarily for the first time. Next, he pushed her behind him. After taking a deep breath, he took out the Kunwu Sword and with his whole body emitting a tremendous aura, he said, “Since you are determined that you won’t let me off, bring it on then. I’ll let you know that, even if I can’t use the divine beast and Spirit Swallowing Bugs, your intention to kill me is the worst decision you’ve made ever!”

In the mean time, Li Xiaolang emerged in the air above a wasteland outside the affiliated agency of the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance. He took out a small ball shining with blue light and said, with a smile, “What you said is right. There is an old saying. He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find a stick! Soul Shadow seems to be determined to kill Lyu Liang! Gold Budda was indeed acting according to rules, and has already left. I’m just curious. He is always a quiet person of few words, but this time he talked a lot, and even smiled! If it were not for the mantra of six words, I would have thought he was a fake!”

“That’s because Wen Xiaojing reminded him of his wife about 10,000 years ago... All right, let’s stop these digressions. Your being here means that everything is going as I predicted before. At present, if Lyu Liang is alone, I will be worried about him! But now Wen Xiaojing is with him, so I feel quite relieved. The process might be a little dangerous, but with the tenacity of my brother... There should be no problem. Next, it’s your turn to fulfil your responsibilities as a Guardian!” Zhu Yan’s voice came out from the stone. At first, he had a relaxed tone, but when he said the last words, he sounded extremely resolute.

“I’ll do it even if you did not tell me. After all, half of me is Li Xiaolang, and the other half is the Guardian for Wood! Anything evil that is related to the Canon of Wildness, is within my killing range!” Li Xiaolang also said solemnly. But then he said with a smile, “But, I think Lyu Liang would do that first. This is also a chance for me to see what kind of power Lyu Liang has, as he can deal a heavy blow to the sects and influential families in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, as well as the Sanctuary.”

At the same time, God Ancestor Night Dragon was sitting in a core secret realm in the affiliated agency of the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance, and he was frowning. The person sitting opposite him was Liu Jiatan, who had been acting in a mysterious way, lately.

“You are not worrying about Lyu Liang, right? If he is dead, your problem about the post of high ranked alien minister would also be solved. It’s okay that I, as one of the eight Immortal Generals, have no idea what you’ve done. But, I’m also one of the three oracles in the Hell Organization, and quite clear about that!” Liu Jiatan smiled. He picked up his teacup in front of him and sipped the tea with great enjoyment.

“I still don’t know what you are thinking about exactly... I don’t care if Lyu Liang would die. Anyway, he will never ruin my plan, just by himself! It’s because of my daughter, Purple Phoenix. I have to consider her feelings!” God Ancestor Night Dragon struggled to say.

“I have only one question for you. The ultimate goal that you’ve been working on for nearly 10,000 years is about to be realized. You should know which is more important between the feelings of your daughter and the ultimate goal.” Liu Jiatan also frowned and said, “If you think Lyu Liang is just a common cultivator in the Mortal World, you are very wrong!”

“... If it was 5,000 years, I will say that the ultimate goal is more important! But since I came to know the Hell Organization, I find that I’m really a person with narrow views! Right now, my daughter and the ultimate goal are equally important to me!” God Ancestor Night Dragon said firmly.

“But, don’t you think that it’s already too late? From the time that you started to turn hostile toward Zhu Yu, and set up the Calamity Troop privately, until now, when you have so much power that is even comparable to the families of the Remote Antiquity... Is there any going back for you?” Liu Jiatan said lightly, but his tone was irrebuttable.

God Ancestor Night Dragon was stunned by his words at first, but then he became more resolute and said after a sigh, “Ah! You may be right.... There is no going back for me now... But, I want to see what kind of person Lyu Liang is, with my own eyes! Then, no matter what decision I’ll make in the end, I won’t feel sorry for Purple Phoenix!”

Liu Jiatan nodded. And then he said with a smile, “I never imagined that an ambitious person who is controlling a big power, is actually a loving father... I just hope that you stay careful and patient when you observe him! Well, of course, if he can’t get through the deathtrap today, your observation will be unnecessary. Right now, I happen to have some other matters to deal with, so I’ll leave you in peace. See you!”

“See you...” God Ancestor Night Dragon nodded indifferently. Liu Jiatan stood up and cupped his fists, and then disappeared on the spot.

Moments later, after a deep sigh, God Ancestor Night Dragon immediately turned around and walked toward a blue wall. Just when it seemed as if he was about to hit the wall, he opened his mouth slightly, whereupon a beam of golden light suddenly appeared above his head, which then directly went into the wall.

At the same time, the ordinary door instantaneously changed into an illusory light gate. After God Ancestor Night Dragon passed through it with an instantaneous flash, it changed back to an ordinary wall again.

“Purple Phoenix... The Seven Luminaries Emperors, the Hell Organization and my followers and supporters all think that I became an ambitious overlord in order to take possession of a territory! But, no one knows that all I have done is only for you. I want you to truly live in the world! Not in this illusory form... “At that moment, God Ancestor Night Dragon was no longer calm and aggressive, like he was in front of other people before. It seemed that he suddenly became an old man. He knelt on the ground, touching a crystal clear coffin in front of him, lightly. His eyes were gradually becoming sharp and resolute, which were the same as those of the Men of Sacrifice. He said solemnly, “I’m willing to do everything for you, Purple Phoenix, even when I have to be the enemy of the whole universe!”

Inside the white, crystal-clear coffin, Fairy Purple Phoenix dressed in white, laid quietly. However, her face was pallid and there was no aura coming out of her, which indicated that she was obviously a lifeless corpse already...
