Chapter 48 A Storm Rises (2/2)
Water-dragon Immortal patted his forehead, relaxed and sneered, ”Who am I thinking about?! Isn't this the boy at the Middle-stage of Gold Core who was kept in my small Qian Kun Storage Bag without knowing anything! What, kid, you actually dared to chase me by yourself? You are committing suicide!”
The moment he stopped talking, a long sword appeared in the hands of Water-dragon Immortal. He waved out a few Sword Qis and went straight to the blue-robed youth.
”In the beginning, I did not intend to do anything to you, but you are too much! Therefore, I shall get my hands dirty and do the work!” The blue-robed man was Zhu Yan, though he faced a few magnificent Sword Qis, he did not have any intention of running.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier. When the Sword Qi approached Zhu Yan, it evaporated into traces of mist and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Zhu Yan, who had been smiling for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer dark in color. Instead, they were replaced by a pair of red eyes that were flashing with a green light.
”Red, Red-flamed Demon Eyes, you, you are...” After the initial shock, Water-dragon Immortal was now shivering. He widened his eyes, and his fingers pointed at Zhu Yan, but his mouth could not make a sound. At the same time, his body began to tremble violently, and his aura was in a mess. It seemed that he could explode at any time.
”Yo? You poor little bumpkin from the countryside knows quite a lot of things huh? Oh, at first I wanted to turn you to ash, but now, it seems I don't have to do that.” Zhu Yan yawned lazily, waiting for something with interest.
When his speech ended, a figure emerged from the Void. A girl in white appeared in front of Water-dragon Immortal, full of killing intent. With a flash of silver, a three-foot-long cyan centipede came out and swallowed Water-dragon Immortal. It even chewed a few times carefully, and finally, it burped and disappeared.
Later, the white girl approached Zhu Yan respectfully and made an elegant bow. The murderous atmosphere around her had disappeared, she was the Yun'er who appeared earlier on.
”To kill such scum, there is no need to dirty the hands of milord!” Yun'er seemed to be angry still.
When Zhu Yan saw it, he shook his head and smiled, and his eyes returned to normal.
”I have already done the things that milord has instructed. The other three highnesses have agreed to wait and see, and they will not interfere with the Land of Origin.” Yun'er reverently reported to Zhu Yan.
”Okay, there is still one year and five months, let's go back. I am really looking forward to it! The things that my father couldn't do before Rising to the Realm, will they be completed by me?” Zhu Yan laughed, the next moment, he disappeared with Yun'er.
...
Half a month later, Lyu Liang returned to the Sword Character Immortal Palace, rejuvenated. Without any rest, he immediately reported the situation to the founding father of Sword Character and the Hunyuan Sword Immortal. At the same time, Zhu Yan's position as the fifth teammate was settled.
Later, Lyu Liang passed the news to Shangguan Ying and Li Wuyi who were still in closed-door meditation. Xu Mubai could not be contacted at the moment. However, Lyu Liang believed that when it came to the agreed time after one year and five months, he would naturally show up.
For the rest of the year, Lyu Liang put his energy on the consolidation of his cultivation. The Giant Tiger that had been practicing in the demon stone mine at the trial field had now moved into Lyu Liang's cave residence. Every day, he cheerfully held the Demon Green Stone with love. At this point, it had reached the Early-stage of Demon Spirit.
...
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. The Zishui Country in the Kunlun Territory of the Mortal Realm was also becoming more and more lively. The people who wanted to enter the Land of Origin in the Demon Realm had already started to gather there.
At the moment, in a small town in Zishui Country. Inside an ordinary farmhouse, a tall man wearing a bloody skull-patterned black robe and a faceless mask stood. Behind him stood a white-browed old man with a pair of dull gray eyes flipping up and down. He seemed to be whispering something. These two people were one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect and the lord of the Blood Divine Sect.
”Uncle Xuan, this is what he told you to tell me? He did not want to see me?” There was a deep sense of helplessness in the tone of the Blood Divine Sect lord.
”My lord, don't you know his temper already? Since he said it, he will definitely do it. Moreover, his chances are indeed better than ours. Thus, we can let him try this time. Moreover, he has already accepted the Red-blood bead and was hinted by me. We will not be late even if we change plans later,” the old man answered.
”Uncle Xuan, I have said a lot of times, in front of outsiders, it's not a problem to call me 'Lord'. In private, I would still like you to call me by my name directly! If you didn't sacrifice your Divine Soul to save me that time, then there would be no Xu Chongzhi.” The Blood Divine Sect lord changed his usual merciless tone and talked to the old man with respect like an ordinary person.
The white-browed old man sighed and shook his head, ”Since I decided to become one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect, I should call you the lord. Besides, my life was given by Miss Bai. It was worth it to me to do this for your relationship with her. Ai, the few Saint Emperors of the Demon Clan have never treated you as their own. Otherwise, if they were willing to help back then, the result would not be so disastrous.”
The Blood Divine Sect lord turned around and had a decisive look. He whispered, ”As long as we get the Crazy Devil Blade, together with the Hellfire Shield and you. Even if Silence and Soul-Depriving wanted to hide, it would be impossible. This is the rule of law that we have set up for each other back then. Since he is so sure, I will let him do it! But I must also go, he is too sentimental and may stand at a loss! This is the only chance, and I don't want to let Wanying wait for another thousand years!”
