During the period of healing, Lyu Liang went once to the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. When he embraced Linglong, he scanned her body thoroughly for the ghostlike blue mark, which he was very neurotic about.
There was no such mark on her body, but Lyu Liang still found something suspicious!
What drew his attention was a pendant she wore, which he was sure had not existed when they had cuddled each other the last time! Then, he thought of what Black had said about the weird Void Transmit Method.
Then, he found the pendant glowing blue and exuding the particular aura of the Blue-soul Blood! When Lyu Liang was about to pull it off, White stopped him, “Wait! We can use this to set a trap!”
Lyu Liang followed White’s suggestion and felt relieved. “Linglong must be controlled by the Blue-soul Blood. She knows nothing about this!” Thinking in that way, he did not feel gloomy anymore.
After several days’ of separation, Linglong became even more clingy than before, and the passion burning in her eyes kept flipping Lyu Liang’s heart.
Then, under the intentional or unintentional caresses of Linglong, Lyu Liang could not hold on anymore, and with a raging thirst…
When the two were about to progress further, someone announced from outside, “Nie Qingyun has come from the Yue Feng Nest Meeting!” The voice suddenly roused Lyu Liang, urging him to get away from Linglong’s piteous look…
“White, what is wrong with me? Why can’t I control myself, even though I am sober?” This was the first time that Lyu Liang lost his confidence, because he felt that he would soon make out with Linglong again.
“Perhaps it’s because your constitutions are complementary. After all, you now have the Yang foundation, and will be naturally attracted by a female who has an opposite trait. Besides, you’re also affectionate toward her, which explains a lot!” White chuckled and continued, “Boy, I don’t advise you to restrain yourself. After all, that is very beneficial to your Yang foundation.”
After that, Lyu Liang returned to his cave residence dejectedly. When he opened the restriction formation, he found Nie Qingyun beaming, “Master! I finally meet you again!”
“Well, Qingyun, maybe you can treat me as an equal… Just as we said, ‘master’ is just an appellation, and it is not necessary for us.” Lyu Liang was really embarrassed to be addressed as a master again.
Hearing that, Nie Qingyun said unswervingly, “A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime! You are my master! And this will never change, no matter how high my cultivation is!” Seeing that Nie Qingyun was so determined, Lyu Liang could only accept it.
“I wanted to go and look for you, and you happened to come to me! What a coincidence! Oh yes, why were you with my senior brothers in the mine? And why did you leave without saying anything?” Lyu Liang asked directly.
Nie Qingyun replied with a laugh, “That day, I saw a red and purple beam shooting out from your position, and then I knew that you would be transmitted. With the experience in the Death Sea, I rushed over immediately, but was still late. I could do nothing, but watch you being swallowed by the space gap. Just then, your senior brothers hurried over. Following a man’s suggestion, we got out of the mine and sensed the strong aura of battle on Snow Dragon Mountain! When we discovered their mine, we found that the entire space had been covered by a weird Bounded Domain. I was rather anxious at that time, and happened to rip the Bounded Domain open! Then, we got in to help you!”
Lyu Liang thumbed up and applauded, “You are such a genius! Considering your striking progress, I’m really not qualified to be your master!”
“Perhaps, it’s not something good…” A hint of solitude flashed across Nie Qingyun’s face, but then he cheered up and asked, “Master, don’t talk about me anymore! Tell me something about yourself! If you have any arrangements for me, just tell me!”
Noticing Nie Qingyun’s expression, Lyu Liang wanted to ask something more. But Nie Qingyun seemed reluctant to continue with the topic, so he just left off his questions and began briefing him on what he had experienced in the Nether Big World.
When Lyu Liang said that he planned to take the initiative to annihilate the enemies, Nie Qingyun pounded the table, and rose with a strong murderous aura, saying in an ever cold voice, “If so, I will let them know, it’s their most foolish decision to bother my master!”
Looking at such an awesome man beside him, Lyu Liang suddenly understood why Feng Mazi wanted to get him involved.
……
During these nine days, Lyu Liang had called up Qiao Youliang and all other possible helpers, except for Zhu Yan and Zhu Yu.
Of course, he did not let Linglong know about his plans. After all, this was a make or break moment, and any slip might mar the plan.
Anye Tianhu was very cunning, and the masked female was even more so. Whether their tricks worked or not, they always left the crime scene immediately without leaving any evidence, and then, they would continue plotting the next murder.
Anyway, Lyu Liang could not tolerate such tortures anymore, and decided to annihilate these two people right here!
Of course, a sense of guilt haunted in his heart, urging him to accompany Linglong.
Finally, on the eighth day, he could not suppress his desire any longer. Driven by Linglong’s passion, for the entire two hours, he luxuriated in the pleasure of entwining with her, in the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation…
When Lyu Liang returned to his cave residence, he felt a slight backache for the first time. However, his affection for Linglong had become almost as much as that of his affection for Shangguan Ying!
On the 10th day, Feng Mazi finally went back to his cave residence. Judging by the radiance on his face, he must have brought some good news back!
When Lyu Liang hurried over, Feng Mazi said with a laugh, “I did it! I did it! The dhuta agreed to help us! With his help, you can definitely annihilate the enemies!”
“Senior brother, how did you do that? This is so unbelievable! But why are you so sure that the double-faced dhuta will not cheat you?” Lyu Liang did trust Feng Mazi, but the turn was just too fast for him.
“I promised to let him mine in my domain for five years, as long as he helps us!” Feng Mazi’s words surprised Lyu Liang greatly, and also made him feel very moved.
The permission to use the mine! What a big deal!
It was very lucky that Lyu Liang managed to obtain such a big divine stone on his first exploration, but this also suggested that there were indeed innumerable rare treasures in the mine!
“Senior brother! Thank you! But my mine is yours from now on! Anyway, I’ve got the divine stone, so the mine is basically of no use to me!” Lyu Liang said without hesitation, to repay Feng Mazi’s kindness!
“No, thanks. I’ve also got the divine stone, so it’s not much of a loss for me to make this deal. Besides, I still have the later five years to explore the mine!” Feng Mazi waved his hand generously, showing no concern about gain or loss.
“Senior brother, why did the doubled-headed dhuta agree so easily? Why was he satisfied with only a mine?” Lyu Liang still found it hard to believe that.
Feng Mazi replied with a meaningful smile, “Remember, loyalty is the result of not enough jetton to betray! Similarly, betrayal does not happen without a reason. It is just a choice one makes when facing greater temptations! The dhuta is a smart guy. Although I am not paying enough for him, he must have his own reason to do that! See!”
As Feng Mazi waved his hand, a scroll appeared. It was the map of the mining area, which Lyu Liang had seen before. However, there was an additional golden area on it this time. Although it was inconspicuous, Lyu Liang understood what it meant at once, “Here… this is where they are hiding!”
“Yes! The doubled-headed dhuta not only told us the position, but also promised to help us break their portable transmission formation! It is a rather rare treasure, but I’d rather destroy it than leave it to the enemies!” With eyes that lit up, Feng Mazi said in a low voice, “Now I’ll tell you the most important part of the plan. You must listen carefully…”
In the next half an hour, Lyu Liang concentrated on the plan, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning. After Feng Mazi had finished speaking, Lyu Liang finally asked, “Only Qingyun? Powerful as he is, he is merely at the Middle-stage of Supreme Master. Besides, he doesn’t have the Spirit Swallowing Bugs or a Divine Mark, and there are so many enemies…”
“You don’t know much about his power!” As Feng Mazi waved his hand to interrupt Lyu Liang, he said seriously, “He’s more than a genius or a monster! If you had seen how he broke the Bounded Domain in the mine, you would not doubt his power!”
“What? The Bounded Domain? You mean the way he broke the Bounded Domain?” Lyu Liang frowned, having a feeling of confusion about his disciple for the first time.
“Maybe I didn’t explain well, so you don’t know how tough that Bounded Domain was! In brief, it would take an Ancestor at least 30 minutes to break it.” Feng Mazi said, as a confused look appeared on his face. “But your disciple… just waved a slash…only one slash! And then, the Bounded Domain broke within less than a breath of time!”
“What?” Lyu Liang was totally shocked.
“If I’m not mistaken, Nie Qingyun has mastered the ultimate power that surpasses the law! His slash was light, but actually, it has the power over the Space Law, that is the Space Cleaving Power!” Feng Mazi continued with a serious look, “Some other people also mastered such power, but they are all above the God Ancestor level. Besides, among those God Ancestors, only very few of them could make it! I can’t understand why a Supreme Master like him, is able to master such a horrific method!”
“The Space Law… He has mastered the ultimate skill… The Space Cleaving Power…” As he murmured, Lyu Liang thought of the scene when Dreamless Heavenly Lord took Xuanli Feiwu out of the Yishui Clan…
“Well, forget it. I don’t have the courage to meet that guy again. Anyway, he’s your disciple, so please help me convey the plan. We must strictly carry out this plan! Only in this way can we annihilate the enemies!” Mang Mazi paused and then went on, “I have to make preparations now. You can use my cave residence at will, and you can just discuss the plan with him here. Besides, I have to warn you, you must take some precautions against the hidden traitor, or you might get yourself into trouble!”
After saying that, Feng Mazi disappeared directly, leaving Lyu Liang behind in deep thought.
“Qingyun… Master…” They were both formidable, proud and upright, and had the power over the Space Law…
In Lyu Liang’s mind, Dreamless Heavenly Lord’s and Nie Qingyun’s figures gradually overlapped and turned into a stranger, who held a rapier with his left hand, and a broadsword with his right one…
What Lyu Liang did not know was that, since he decided to be a cultivator, he had gradually become a key pawn!
That was a hundreds-of-thousands-of-year old grudge, a life-and-death game between two powers that had surpassed the Natural Law…
