Chapter 120 Unexpected Gain (1/2)
Lyu Liang went out of Massive Funeral Hall, transformed into a white-browed elderly at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul, and then flew directly to Holy-Fist Palace. After reaching the boundary of the sect, he did not rush inside, but carefully recalled the terrain and location of the traps within the premises.
The Holy-Fist Palace was located on a broad green mountain. Although there was no strange formation like the 'Ghost Chaos formation', looking at the power that the Sect-Protection Formation emitted, Lyu Liang knew that the formation would not be weak.
There was a small, simple market place at the foot of the mountain. There, Lyu Liang saw a lot of disciples from the Holy-Fist Palace, clad in yellow costumes. The highest cultivation was at the Peak of Nascent Soul, and the lowest even included the Early-stage of Qi Refining.
Lyu Liang strolled around patiently, but he kept a close watch on those disciples whose cultivations were below the Gold Core stage. Anyway, they could not feel the existence of his Divine Sense.
In fact, Lyu Liang was looking for a chance to overpower a Holy-Fist Palace disciple of low cultivation and then search through his soul. After that, he could transform into the disciple's appearance and secretly sneak into Holy-Fist Palace.
But deep in his bones, Lyu Liang still had a good moral character. Although he would probably have a life or death ending with the Holy-Fist Palace, as a Fairy Immortal, he did not want to make any moves on those low-staged disciples, who knew nothing. Since he wanted to change his appearance and sneak in, the one that he was targeting, could not stay alive. So, he waited. He was waiting for a wicked person that would give him a reason to kill him.
His patience eventually paid off. After about two hours, Lyu Liang found a small team of bullies. There were a total of four people, led by a tall and strong man at the Peak of Nascent Soul, followed three young men who were at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul.
What they did was to collect protection fees from every booth in the market place, ranging from ten mid-grade Primordial Stones to twenty. Initially, Lyu Liang was still hesitant about going for this kind of mixed gang, who were not really that evil. After all, they did not deserve to be dead, but something happened later, that made Lyu Liang change his mind. ”You are the one!”
When the four people went to one of the shops selling ordinary forging materials, they instantly asked for fifty mid-grade Primordial Stones. The shopkeeper was a pretty girl whose cultivation was only at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul. She panicked when she heard their demands.
Then they gave the old-fashioned 'the money is not enough, pay it with your body' plot, and when the four people were flirting and blurting out vulgarities, a handsome, white-robed youth, with a thin face, rushed out in a rage. His cultivation was also at the Peak of Nascent Soul and he placed himself in front of the girl.
The girl hid behind the youth, like a pitiful bird. It seemed that they were either brother and sister or Taoist companions.
”Bastard, do you know who Boss An is?” ”He is the grandson of Kao Shan Master, who is one of the Ten Golden Fairy of Holy-Fist Palace, get lost now!”
”My sister and I have just arrived, and we did not know there is a rule of collecting protection fees here. The ignorant should not be blamed. We will pack up and leave now!”
”Hey, let me tell you the truth. I am interested in your sister!” ”If you are smart, follow me back to the Holy-Fist Palace. You can become an inner disciple with one word from me.” ”How about it, better than you selling materials here right?”
”You... impossible!” ”No matter who you are, if you wish to molest my sister, even if I die, I will not grant your wish!”
When the white-robed youth finished speaking, a threatening-looking ax appeared in his hand, and his body gave out a series of cracking sounds.
”Eh?” ”So you are both a body refining and magic practicing cultivator!” ”Bastard, just wait!” Boss An threatened the white-robed youth and left with his followers.
The white-robed youth heaved a sigh of relief, turned back, and nodded at the girl. Then the two began to pack up, apparently ready to leave immediately.
After about thirty minutes, the brother and sister finished packing and then quickly left the place. At this time, Lyu Liang grinned and his figure gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.
...
After a while, the brother and sister had already flown to a bare piece of land.
”Tao, hang on there, wait till we reach the boundary of Ru Yi Sect, we will be safe... oh no!” Just when the white-robed youth heaved a sigh of relief, a golden sword light suddenly appeared in front of the two people. Without even having any second thoughts, he directly stood in front of his sister and blocked her with his body.
”Peng” with a muffled sound, both brother and sister fell heavily to the ground. The sister was unhurt, but her brother's face turned pale, and blood was flowing out of his mouth. Apparently, he had been severely injured.
”Heng, are you trying to run away?” ”My targeted prey has never escaped before!” ”I am interested in your sister, but now I am more interested in you!” ”I did not expect to meet a Creator today. Indeed, I found a treasure!” During the speech, five people emerged in the sky, and the leader was Boss An, whom they encountered previously, in the market place. At his side, there was one more disciple from the Holy-Fist Palace, who was at the Late-stage of Void Return. He was looking at the brother and sister, who were on the ground, with contempt, and it seemed that he was the person who fired the shot just now.
The white-robed youth looked stunned at first, and had a desperate look on his face. But in an instant, it was replaced by a decisive look.
”Tao, he should be the one who has the Creator Stone!” ”I will choose to blow myself up later, and you have to take the opportunity to escape. If you can't do it, use that Teleportation Talisman, but you will suffer afterwards.” While the white-robed youth secretly transmitted this voice message to his sister, he reluctantly looked at his younger sister, who was shaking her head, and was in tears.
