Chapter 310 Infernal Affairs
When the outside world was in chaos, the core place of the Dark Reign was witnessing an extremely furious battle.
“Ghost! You betrayed me!” Ji Luo Tao Lord said with a stern look, gritting his teeth. At this moment, he was injured and his aura was becoming rather unstable.
In front of him was Ghost Tao Ancestor, who had a frosty look on his face, exuding the suppressive aura of God Ancestor. He pushed forward several purple handprints, as he said in a low voice, “Your cultivation has reached the middle or late stage of God Ancestor, so you have been feigning illness? Since you failed to kill that man, I have long prepared for this day!”
“You think that you can ruin our plan in this way? No way! I’ve tolled the Oath-soul Bell, and the other God Ancestors will come very soon!” Ji Luo Tao Lord revealed his full cultivation at the Late-stage of God Ancestor, and the golden soul spirit began blazing above his head.
Just then, as a loud noise sounded, a golden beam shot out and directly hit Ji Luo Tao Lord’s back, as it sailed through the air!
“You’ve come! Kill Sura first, and then destroy the Red Lotus of Hellfire and the Thoreau Secret Realm!” Knowing who was behind him, Ghost Tao Ancestor said this, without turning around.
“OK! You destroy the core of Thoreau, and I will look for you after killing Sura!” A bald old man, who was precisely Cold Blood, the apparent leader of the Dark Reign, appeared with the cultivation at the God Ancestor level.
Without hesitation, Ghost Tao Ancestor ran over to Ji Luo Tao Lord’s body, and rushed toward a colorful light gate, not far away.
However, when he was about to go through the light gate, he paused and slowly turned around in disbelief. He looked down at the dagger in his chest, and then, he raised his head, helpless confusion in his eyes. “Why… You… Why… You are one of the seven saints of the Divine Imperial Court … It was you who guided me to this way…”
Hearing that, Cold Blood Tao Ancestor remained indifferent. Shaking his head, he said with a slight sigh, “It was I who brought you from the Dark Reign to the Divine Imperial Court… But what you don’t know is that I’m a secret pawn arranged by the Divine Imperial Court by the Hell Organization… Thanks for helping me win over those old guys’ absolute trust!”
“Hahaha, that explains a lot…” Ghost Tao Ancestor was stunned, but then, he burst into laughter. The next second, his aura became turbulent, and yet he said firmly, “Even so, I won’t forget your instructions! Perhaps I’m wrong about you, but I still believe what you’ve taught me!”
“Bang!” The loud bang reverberated through the entire reign, but an invisible defense cover seemed to constrain the explosion impact into a small space.
At the same time, a bent figure emerged, and he was precisely Dead Fire Depression God, one of the six Law Transcenders. He said in a low voice, “Hurry up!”
Ji Luo Tao Lord, who had become very weak, jumped up, nodded at Cold Blood Tao Ancestor, and said, “Time is limited! Ghost has died, and you have to help me with the Red Lotus of Hellfire! 30 percent of its power has been sabotaged by Ghost, so we need to make up for that as possible as we can!”
Cold Blood Tao Ancestor nodded and walked into the light gate with Ji Luo Tao Lord.
Dead Fire Depression God stared at the gate for a while, and then he snorted before he gradually disappeared…
……
At the same time, the battle around the cocoon in the Western area had become exceptionally fierce, beyond Lyu Liang’s expectation…
“Stupid Sister Phantom! Foolish Sister Phantom! Let us pass through!” Instant Boy was rather anxious. Several golden light streamers floated out of his body to a special Bounded Domain, which was made of black and white fog.
“Instant, you know that it won’t work, or you would have made it 400,000 years ago!” Yama Zhina said indifferently, “Since Dead Fire is not here, it’s the best chance to kill her!”
Then, a deep eye suddenly appeared on his chest and emitted a black beam, which penetrated the fog and hit Goddess Phantom’s back, through the air.
“Alas!” With a deep sigh, Instant Boy had a resolute look on his face. The next moment, he struck the back of Goddess Phantom who was hovering in mid-air, again and furiously stabbed it with a golden awl!
Just then, a pure-black flame suddenly appeared, forcing Instant Boy to pause, his pupils shrinking. The next moment, he was dragged back by Yama Zhina, who had hurried over.
“It’s so fast… It seems that they’ve failed…” Yama Zhina frowned, but then, he said with a faint smile, “But this is not the end!” Then, two silver sickles appeared in his hands.
No one could step into the range of 300 meters around these four people, or his life would end there now!
Just when the battle sank into a stalemate, the sea of fire began shrinking! Those rampant little fire people gradually disappeared, and the red lotus also withered…
“Summon the power of Purifying Green Lotus! Use the Disillusion Divine Painting to destroy the cocoon!” Feng Li’s voice resounded.
Meanwhile, the three Guardians, who had been inactive, were all in the golden light. The black-robed young man stood in the front between Zhu Yan and Qiao Youliang, keeping a distance of 30 meters from each. Then, a massive Eight-Diagram emerged among the trio.
A black and a white thick beam of light shot out, but when they were about to hit the cocoon, another three figures appeared and formed a golden screen, which effectively blocked the attack.
“Donghuang Chongyun! Because of Chongyang, we’ve gone easy on you! But now it seems that you persist in following the wrong course!” Feng Li’s stern voice sounded, “Kill all of them! Don’t spare anyone!”
“Qing’er! Yueli! If I can’t hold on, assist Kong Liang to launch the Black Lotus’s destructive power!” Donghuang Chongyun, who wore a white robe, said softly, yet in a resolute tone.
“Brother Yun! I will live and die with you! As for launching the Black Lotus’s power, Yueli can do it alone!” Qing’er also revealed a determined look, “Xing is performing the power of Astrolabe. If we can hold on for a bit longer, we still have hope! Besides, half of our milord’s Sword Constitution will soon be awakened!”
Just then, several figures appeared, including five Immortal Generals and Saint Gods of the Hell Organization…
……
At the same time, inside the Dark Reign, something unexpected happened.
“Cold Blood! You, you… D*mn it! You cheated me?” Ji Luo Tao Lord stared at the broken light gate in astonishment, and behind him, Wuming God Ancestor and Wangui God Ancestor were equally shocked.
At this moment, Cold Blood Tao Ancestor was exceptionally weak, but still, he smiled with relief. “Hahaha, if I hadn’t done so, how would you let me operate the red lotus alone? However, I’m sorry for Ghost. I’ll apologize to him in the netherworld! From beginning to end, I have been one of the seven saints of the Divine Imperial Court in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa!” After saying that, he clapped his head, dissipating his last remnant soul.
“Ah!” Ji Luo Tao Lord let out an angry roar, as his eyes turned red. Regardless of his weakness, he turned around and rushed outdoor. “Let’s go! It’s time to bet our lives! We can’t let the plan of tens of thousands of years be destroyed, while we’re alive!”
……
At the same time, the South of the Nether Big World was in chaos, as expected, and yet something shocking also happened there…
“When did you begin betraying us… Or, have you been our opponent from the very beginning?” At this moment, Zhao Mingquan had lost the right half of his body. His aura was unstable, and yet, it maintained the Tao Ancestor level with the milk-white Spiritual Qi.
In front of him was Meng Yun, who was on the verge of death. On his face was intransigence, satisfaction, and especially, relief. As he gasped, he asked, “Does it matter? The Red Lotus of Hellfire has been destroyed, and so is half of the Divine Reevesia Tree. So how will you fight with the eight Immortal Generals? Hahaha, they’ve come! Brother Zidao, Senior Brother Feng, it’s time for me to apologize to you!” After saying that, he petrified himself and immediately went with the wind.
Zhao Mingquan roared with anger and instructed the black-robed cultivators behind him, who had a mixed expression of determination and astonishment, “Retreat! Protect the cocoon with all your full efforts!”
“Isn’t it too late to go now? At this moment, most of us, being secret pawns, have sacrificed our lives. As a leader, it’s time for me to make some contributions!” Drug Emperor appeared, as a pungent stink pervaded the range of 30,000 meters. “I don’t know what will happen elsewhere, but as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone go. I, ‘Drug Emperor’ Feng Yunzi, the Immortal General of the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, hereby invite you to the netherworld!”
……
At this moment, Lyu Liang was standing alone on the border between the Northern and Western areas, seeing all of these incredible things happening, in astonishment.
The founding father of Sword Character, Feng Li, Zhang Ran, Zhu Yan, Qiao Youliang… All these familiar people, who had given him much care and help, had turned extremely strange.
Lyu Liang could feel that their forces were rather inapproachable, as compared to his. Deep frustration swept over him. Just like a naive mortal, he had no idea how this happened. Although he knew that White could answer his question now, he was not in the mood to do so.
But immediately, he became very alert and blurted, “Qingyun?”
Nie Qingyun suddenly appeared beside the cocoon, and at the same time, the atmosphere became very tense. However, while the people of the Divine Imperial Court struggled to fight, those of the Dark Reign were defending with all their might!
Lyu Liang could remain indifferent to others, but he could definitely not turn a blind eye to Nie Qingyun! Besides, Nie Qingyun was carrying Mu Xiaozi, Liu Xiaoxue, and nearly 1,000 people from the Yang and Wen families. Of course, Nie Qingyun had made preparations for these people, but Lyu Liang did not know about that.
However, although the airflow was rather turbulent and the suppression was very tense, Lyu Liang would remain safe as long as he stayed in the weird space crack in the North.
Finally, he rushed forward through several instantaneous flashes. Although there was a strong defense cover, he went through it with ease, with Black’s help.
Then, Lyu Liang directly came to Nie Qingyun, grabbed his arm, and prepared to take him out. He said hastily, “Qingyun, follow me out! It’s not safe here!”
“Why?” Unexpectedly, Nie Qingyun was exceptionally calm, “I’ve waited for this moment for too long… Master, this may be the last time I address you as such, but you will always be my master! I’ll keep that in my heart forever!”
When Lyu Liang turned around in confusion, he saw deep sorrow in Nie Qingyun’s eyes. Hastily, he pulled Nie Qingyun along and said, “What are you talking about? Let’s go out first! There’s a safe space crack in the North. Just follow me… Eh? Qingyun!”
Just then, Nie Qingyun drew out his hand and knelt on the ground, making three kowtows to Lyu Liang. Then, he raised, shook his head, and said, “I hoped that I could maintain the consciousness of being Nie Qingyun…” Meanwhile, a golden soul floated out of his head to Lyu Liang.
“This is… a Life Soul?” Lyu Liang was stunned, not knowing what Nie Qingyun meant.
Nie Qingyun replied softly, “It’s not a Life Soul, but a Vow of Master and Disciple. Once you infuse it into your soul, you will then become my master.”
Hearing that, Lyu Liang waved his hands without hesitation and said, “I can’t…”
But before he could finish his words, Nie Qingyun suddenly shone with a golden light, and with intense sadness in his eyes, said softly, “Just take it. If I can’t recognize you afterward, at least I won’t hurt you…”
As he said that, Nie Qingyun’s hand touched the huge cocoon. Lyu Liang missed the chance to drag him back, and could only see him merge into the cocoon in a flash…
All of a sudden, the entire space shook violently. In the sky, the giant dragon disappeared immediately and turned into the weird sword that had penetrated Dreamless Heavenly Lord’s chest, as the Dragon-Teeth Dagger emerged beside it. Then, they merged into the massive cocoon together…
