Facing this desperate situation, Lyu Liang did not lose hope. Under the impact of the formidable Death Qi, he began burning his golden soul spirit. Meanwhile, he stimulated two golden Star-picking Palms to protect his companions from the Death Qi.
“Go! Liu Yu, follow my instructions if you still take me as your brother! Senior Hu Wu, take the other people out of here! The world is so big that you will be able to find a habitable place one day! And companions of Icy Peak and Burning Ridge, please leave now. Where there is life, there is hope!” Lyu Liang shouted calmly, and yet, no one behind him moved.
“Brother… As you said, we’re brothers, so don’t stand on ceremony!” With a faint smile, Liu Yu went across the Star-picking Palm and stood beside Lyu Liang, “A brother is one who dies with you!”
Seeing that, the other 13 people stepped forward without hesitation, following which, Hu Wu also came over with the Lingwu Armor. Then, the two Ancestors nodded and went to the front.
“Oh?” The Death Qi became slightly thinner as the old man had a complicated look on his face. He said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect that… you have so much support from the others! You’re just like our eldest brother. He protected all of us, regardless of his own life…”
As tears glistened vaguely in his eyes, his aura and the Death Qi suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he looked gracious again. He waved his hand, shook his head, and said with a sigh, “Alas, you’re an exception among the Human Clan… Well, well, just go. Leave your possessions. Keep those alive and give me the dead. I will remove the prohibition for them after that.”
Hearing that, Lyu Liang suddenly realized that the divine beasts were separated by some restriction formation, although he could still use their skills.
“Thank you for your kindness!” Lyu Liang cupped his hands, and could finally sigh with relief. Now that the old man had said so, all the people, including the bull-headed man and the monkey demon, had to follow his words.
Lyu Liang directly took out the Interspatial Bracelet, the Kunwu Sword, and all the other treasures. Then, he cupped his hands again and said, “Some treasures are of special meaning to me. I have a presumptuous request. Please allow me one year to exchange some of these treasures with those of equivalent value!”
Lyu Liang did not care about the losses, but to him, some meaningful objects like the Feiling Sword and the Celadon Jade Seal were more precious than any high-level treasures, although they were now of no use to him.
“Yo ho! It’s a robbery again… Sh*t! So many people! Let me join you! Second brother, please leave one third to me… Oh, no, one fourth!” As a deep voice sounded, a 12-meter-tall, bald, fat man appeared, waving an arresting, huge palm-leaf fan.
“Fatso… your nose… can almost rival our eldest brother’s!” The old man smiled a wry smile, while Lyu Liang had a shock again.
Things had just been settled, but they would soon be messed up by this new problem… Besides, it seemed that the fat man was at the same level as the old man, whom Lyu Liang had no way to defeat.
“Senior…” What Lyu Liang could do was to look piteously at the old man.
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my words.” The old man waved his hand and assured Lyu Liang. “Fourth brother, I’ve promised him that I won’t take any other treasures, except his own. Just give up the idea!”
“Ah?” Stunned, the fat man stopped waving his hand, stared at the old man, and said, “Are you really my second brother? Haven’t you learned the essence from our eldest brother…”
“He reminds me of our eldest brother.” With a deep sigh, the old man pointed at the mass behind Lyu Liang and said, “They are all his followers!”
The fat man frowned, nodded, and with great interest, watched Lyu Liang taking out his treasures. Then, he said, “This guy… well, is really not an ordinary man!”
Lyu Liang was reassured again and pulled out his treasures at an accelerated speed. Anyway, he did not expect to meet another robber…
But just then, when he took out something, he was stunned and hesitated. It was a Soul Bone, which the yellow dog had given him, and together with it, was some golden hair.
Hand over, or not? All right, just hand them over!
After thinking for a while, Lyu Liang threw out the half Soul Bone without any vacillation. But before he could take out the golden hair, two extremely sharp murderous auras suddenly swept over him!
Although Lyu Liang remained vigilant and was on the alert instantly, he still spurted out blood under the impact. Just then, the old man and the fat man, who had been laughing, had rather severe looks on their faces!
“Seniors, what…” Lyu Liang asked, bearing the tearing pain in his Divine Soul.
“Where is this from?” The old man asked in a low voice, yet with exposed fury, “What’s the relationship between you and the people on Buzhou Mountain?”
“Buzhou… Mountain?” Lyu Liang realized that he had been mistaken as a deadly foe! He said hastily, “Please listen to my explanation! This is a Soul Bone, which was given by Senior Mo Jiao! And here is his hair. He said that it could be used as a token in some situation!” Then, some golden hair floated out.
The old man and the fat man were stunned and their anger dissipated. The fat man, especially, directly began howling. The old man, although more composed, quivered, with tears in his eyes.
“This token is from our ancestor! It’s the token from our ancestor!” The monkey demon cried with surprise, following which, all people of the Demon Clan knelt and prostrated themselves before the seemingly insignificant golden hair.
“Boy, you drive me crazy! These people are precisely Senior Mo Jiao’s main forces!” White shouted hastily, “You were fighting against your own side! If someone died, it would have been a great disaster!”
Hearing that, Lyu Liang said instantly, “Seniors and brothers… do you know Senior Mo Jiao? If so, it’s my great honor to give you these treasures!”
“How could we take them now?” The fat man mumbled as he wiped his tears. He waved his hand, and all the treasures, except for the golden hair, flew back to Lyu Liang. “Take them back. Why didn’t you show the hair earlier! If our eldest brother knew that we were robbing you, he would definitely get angry! Ah, he’s still alive! What a blessing… ”
The fat man’s cries kept rocking the sky. To Lyu Liang’s surprise, his soft heart did not match his rugged look at all…
“Son, could you please tell us more details? Does this Senior Mo Jiao like to turn into a big yellow dog? Have you seen his real body?” The old man was so excited that he even called Lyu Liang “son”.
This time, Lyu Liang was totally relieved and confided his experience in the Peaceful Land, as well as the opportunities he had received.
“Oh, I see! He has protected us from so many disasters. I did not expect him to hide in that place… Great! Great!” The fat man stopped crying and then roared in a ringing voice, “All the people, no matter where you are, come over here right now! Our eldest brother, your ancestor, is still alive! This is his token! Now… Eh, they’re coming…”
Before he could finish his words, countless clouds of various colors floated over from all directions. All those guys with strange appearances were so overjoyed that they prostrated themselves before the golden hair instantly, with tears rolling down their faces.
After half an hour, the range of 3,000 meters had been occupied by the people, and those who were late could only pay their respects from different layers of the sky.
“Boss… Excellent! This is so excellent!” Liu Yu and the other people were amazed by the scene and gave him a thumbs up.
Lyu Liang, however, felt a bit embarrassed. Although he had taken back all his possessions, he could not take his people out of this place, without saying anything. As for the golden hair, he dared not to ask these zealous men to give it back.
“All the people, except for us five, will leave now.” After an hour, as a soft female voice sounded, and the densely occupied space finally let the sunshine in.
While Lyu Liang was amazed by these well-trained people, five people, including the old man and the fat man, walked over and bowed to him.
“Seniors, it is I who need to thank you!” Lyu Liang was astonished and bowed even lower.
“Son, you deserve it. You don’t know how much this news means to us!” The old man said softly. Although he had calmed himself down, his eyes were still burning with excitement.
“Let’s go to the Faith Gathering Hall to continue our chat!” The fat man proposed, and the other four nodded in agreement.
“What about my companions?” Lyu Liang asked in embarrassment, as he pointed to the people waiting behind him.
“This is not a suitable place to settle down!” A tall, thin man waved his hand and said, “How could our distinguished guest’s troops settle here?”
“Eh… This place is okay, as long as you agree…” Lyu Liang was overjoyed, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
“No, no! If our eldest brother knows about this, how could we ever face him?”
“Except for the Snake’s Cold Blood Pool, which is not suitable, you can pick whichever site you like!”
“Come to my Sky Valley. It has thick Spiritual Qi and rough terrain, which makes it the best location.”
……
The situation changed so suddenly that even Lyu Liang, being so welcomed, became somewhat perplexed.
“All right, all right! Now that our eldest brother is not here, I’ll make the decision! This is just a small matter!” The old man interrupted the argument, “Please settle in Xiaoyu’s Sky Valley. It’s not far from the Mortal Realm, so it’ll be more convenient, if you want to go to the Mortal World.”
“Thank you for your kindness!” Lyu Liang was delighted that things could be so solved so perfectly.
“Benefactor! Lyu Liang…” A thrilled voice came from the East. Lyu Liang was stunned at first and then became rather excited, turning around immediately.
In front of Lyu Liang was a white-robed monkey demon, dressed like a human. In his hand, a gray strip of cloth was swaying in the wind, and brought a flood of memories back for Lyu Liang …
