Chapter 69
Lyu Liang’s eyes turned red in anger. Suddenly he roared and gnashed his teeth and said,"Big Brother! You owe me an explanation!"
"Oh? Even under such circumstances, you still dare to question me? Well, it only strengthens my determination to eliminate you now. Otherwise, you will gradually become the formidable enemy of my Blood Divine Sect! By the way, you are still the descendant of the Xuanli clan, so I can’t let you off for any reason! Xu Chongzhi, dressed in a black robe, sneered contemptuously. To him, it seemed that killing Lyu Liang would be as simple as killing an ant.
At this time, the grey-eyed old man who had remained silent till now, said: "Your Majesty, the other two will be here in a minute. After all, Lyu Liang is still your brother; You could send him into the seven-color whirlpool. Without the protective support of Pangu Origin world, it is easier for him to die than to live."
Xu Chongzhi thought for a moment and then gestured violently with his hand. Lyu Liang was thrown into the seven-colored whirlpool without any resistance at all. At the same time, a stream of light shot out of Lyu Liang, fell to the ground and turned into a blue-eyed giant tiger, looking constantly upwards at the sky.
Suddenly, a heaven-shattering aura swept over the land. A huge, fiery bird with a flaming body, rushed into the second layer of light with a fierce killing intent. Next came a giant dragon sizzling with lightning, a tiger with silver patterns on its body and a primitive black tortoise.
Xu Chongzhi’s face was calm and he said to himself: "I was negligent. I forgot that after even after destroying the seal, your actions and cultivation level are not restricted."
The giant flaming bird said in a somber voice: "Xu Chongzhi! Today, even if you have your life divine weapon in hand, we will fight until one party dies!" After that, his aura soared to another level.
At this time, a sword and a bell appeared at the top of Xu Chongzhi’s head; then, from his body, another blade and shield flew out. The grey-eyed old man beside him, suddenly glowed brightly and turned into a ring. A black barrier was created in an instant and separated him from the Four Saint Emperors, who were eagerly looking at him like a tiger watching its prey.
Five life divine weapons surrounded Xu Chongzhi in a circle; he looked up to the heavens and laughed wildly: "This ridiculous ancient covenant, break it for me!" As his voice fell, all five divine weapons shone brilliantly. Within the circle a word "alliance" appeared and then gradually disappeared…
In an instant, Xu Chongzhi was in the circle formed by the five divine weapons. The next moment, together with the divine weapons and the black barrier, he disappeared.
"I knew his intentions were not good! If it hadn’t been for the limitations of the covenant, I would have exposed him! Damn! Although my father’s partitioned soul told me that as Lyu Liang was wearing the Glass Bead, his soul would not be damaged. However, with his strength, we can’t tell if he is able to reach the Pangu Origin world safely" At this time, the giant flaming bird transformed back into Zhu Yan, although it still emitted a breathtaking killing intent.
The other three emperors had also returned to their human forms. The Green-robed Prince comforted him by saying: "Brother Zhu, take it easy. I’ve been divined before. Though Lyu Liang’s life has been very tough and frightening, at least he is out of danger! It should be no problem for him to enter safely into Pangu Origin world."
The blind old lady said in a serious tone: "Hummgh, If that Xuanli kid really encounters any unexpected misfortune, even if I have to fight against the laws of heaven and earth, I’m going to kill the Creator and all bastards in the Blood Divine Sect! "
Zhu Xuangui twisted his goatee and turned his eyes to the colorful whirlpool and said softly: "Since his life is temporarily unhindered, let’s finish the Four Saint Seal quickly and restore this spatial channel as soon as possible. Finally, after so long, I have hopes of going home! "
At this time, the blind old lady went up to the blue-eyed giant tiger, who was still mourning, and said softly: "You are actually a half-awakened water spirit demonic pupil and it is likely that you could be a stray from my white tiger clan! Would you like to be my pro-disciple? You can come with me to Pangu Origin world; maybe there will be a chance to meet your master."
When the giant tiger heard these words, it rushed forward and fell on the ground, roaring: "I’m willing! I owe a great debt of gratitude to my master, I must find my master! Master take me away, please!
Meanwhile, the sloppy man came in with Bi Huo and Chi Shui. When he saw that among the three life-and-death brothers, only Li Wuyi was left lying on the ground, he seemed to realise something and with a slight shake of his head and a sigh, snapped at Chishui Fairy
Chishui Fairy nodded, came nearer to Li Wuyi, stretched out her hand and flicked it. Li Wuyi suddenly relaxed. He stood up and shouted at the sky: "I don’t care whether you are Xu Mubai or Xu Chongzhi! I, Li Wuyi, swear that, there
Chishui Fairy patted him gently on the shoulder and spoke gently: "Relax. Neither of them will die. They just drifted off to Pangu Origin world and one day they will be back to meet you."
After hearing what she said, Li Wuyi stopped crying and with eyes wide open, asked in surprise: "Is that really true? Good! Excellent! When the time comes, our two brothers will tear down the Blood Divine Sect together!" But then his spirits fell again, "When my brother comes back, he will surely have been elevated by several levels! But for me, although it’s easy to upgrade my cultivation level due to my Mysterious Soul Body, however, my strength is far from enough!"
Chishui Fairy smiled and said: "Wuyi, I won’t hide it from you. You encountered two figures with puppets who wanted to kill you. They are the disciples of our Wanxiang Sect who were targeting your Mysterious Soul Body! This time when we enter the Land of Origin, the most important task for us is to protect your life. Do you know why?
Li Wuyi was surprised at first, and then he felt a little dizzy. "Why did they want to kill me at first and then protect me? What is their purpose?" He did not understand, and asked meekly, "Fairy, I’m stupid. Please tell me all about it, or I’ll never be able to guess it in my lifetime."
Chishui Fairy revealed "Pop-Chi" laughter, and said softly: "Our Wanxiang Sect has a three-emperor puppet that surpasses the power of one at the peak of Almighty Immortal stage. If someone wants to use its full power, he must use the Mysterious Soul Body as a medium. We wanted to kill you first as we only needed your soul. Although the effect is poor, it can reach the level of Tao Master. But now that you are aware of this, we changed our minds. We want to invite you to personally serve as the host of the Three-emperor Puppet, that is, the manipulator. When your cultivation is promoted to the Almighty Immortal stage, you will be able to exert the power of Taoist Master!"
Seeing Li Wuyi’s surprise, the sloppy man added "Kid, I am one of the three leaders of Wanxiang Sect. As long as you promise, I will accept you as my pro-disciple, then you will have the position second only to Bi Huo and Chi Shui. Mysterious Soul Body is what anyone studying puppet skills is dreaming of! Aren’t you tired of being weak? Come on! When you become an Almighty Immortal, you will be looking down on the world! "
Li Wuyi’s eyes were glowing from all this information. Suddenly, as if he had made a great decision, he knelt at the feet of the dirty man and bowed respectfully three times and in a fierce tone, said "Well! as long as I can become stronger and stop being a burden on my brother, I will give my life to the Wanxiang Sect! Your master is here, this disciple worships you!"
……………………
Six hours later, all the direct descendants of the Dongfang family gathered at the hall of Thousands Beast Mansion. A moment later, Dongfang Badao slowly walked in with the five talents of the Dongfang family. There was also a cool young man with a somber face, with red and black hair and beside him was Zhu Yan, who seemed to be in a very bad mood.
When Dongfang Badao saw all the people gathered together, he first looked respectfully at Zhu Yan and seeing Zhu Yan nod, he said aloud: "Some people know what I’m going to say, but most of you don’t! This is about the origin and settling down of our Dongfang family. You all listen to me! "
"Our Dongfang clan did not originate from this big world! We came from Pangu Origin world, a bigger world with richer cultivation resources. Our family is not a human race! Although all of you have been practicing human skills since childhood, have you ever thought about it? Why is it easier for us to learn the skill of "the unity of human and beast", which is similar to that of the demon clan? The answer is simple, we ourselves are the demon clan! And we belong to one of the Four Saint Emperors, the clans of the Suzaku emperor! Our real identity is the ancient Suzaku family! It’s the saint beast clan!"
Tens of thousands of years ago, we followed the old Suzaku Emperor to this Chaotic world. Because of the unique physical characteristics of the Dongfang clan, we were brought into the human world to be a channel of communication with the demon world! You are not impressed by this because there were spells put on you before you came. The reason why I didn’t tell you before is that, shortly after we came here, the channel connecting the two great worlds was sealed! Now that the seal is broken, we can finally return to our homeland!"
"This young man next to me is the second generation Suzaku emperor, the most noble master of our Dongfang family! All kneel! Prepare to obey the orders of the demonic emperor!" After that, Dongfang Badao took the lead in kneeling down, followed by the Five Dongfang Talents.
Many of the disciples in the hall, although confused, were more excited and with no exception, all the disciples knelt in worship. The three brothers and sisters including Dongfang Xiaoyu, were among those kneeling. However, when hearing the words "returning home" roared out by Dongfang Badao, Lyu Liang’s silly smile appeared in Dongfang Xiaoyu’s mind.
Zhu Yan watched the people kneeling and shook his head helplessly. He managed to control his depression in time and laughed softly: "This is the first and last time. Anyone who sees me in the future, if he dares to kneel like this, will be expelled from the saint beast clan by me, do you all understand? Stand up, all stand up! Let me just say one sentence. Those who are willing to return to their homeland will follow Dongfang Badao in three days and those who do not want to, can stay here and run the Thousands Beast Mansion. Anyway, since the passage is open, there is no intention of closing it again!"
After Zhu Yan finished, he appeared relaxed. This was a relief to Dongfang Badao who had been observing him all the time. He then got up and said aloud: "His master has shown us mercy. We are not allowed to kneel in the future. From now on, you will all go back and explain the situation to the people under your command. In two days, the list of returnees will be handed over to Dongfang Huo. I am personally leading the team for this return trip. Dongfang Huo, Dongfang Shui and Dongfang Jin will follow me, while Dongfang Mu and Dongfang Tu will remain here!"
Afterall the arrangements were made, the direct descendants of the Dongfang family stepped out of the hall one after another and without exception, all their faces were full of excitement. Xiaoyu was at the end. Seeing her grandfather talking respectfully to Zhu Yan, she suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Yan.
"Xiaoyu, what’s wrong? What’s happening?" Dongfang Badao was a little confused about his granddaughter’s salute to Zhu Yan. It seemed impossible for the two persons with such different identities to have this kind of relationship.
Dongfang Xiaoyu summoned up her courage and asked in an urgent tone: "Master demon emperor, excuse me, but how are your teammates now?"
Dongfang Badao was stunned, but Zhu Yan turned up his eyes, laughed and said, "Xiaoyu does not have to be so proper. Since I am a teammate with Lyu Liang and others and we have all participated in the Martial Contest, we are all in contact with each other. Whose situation do you want to know first?"
"I, I…" Dongfang Xiaoyu felt a little silly. "Originally, I summoned the courage to come over. Although the questions I asked were vague, anyone with a clear eye could guess at a glance. But now this powerful figure, asked the question he obviously had known I would ask…
Looking at Dongfang Xiaoyu’s embarrassed face, Zhu Yan laughed, then his eyes dimmed and he whispered: "If it’s any normal day, I’ll keep joking with you. However, today I am really in a bad mood, because of my teammates. Let’s put it this way, except for me, the four of them will not be appearing anytime soon."
Dongfang Xiaoyu was shocked. According to her understanding of Lyu Liang’s team, including the demon and devil clans, it was the most powerful among all the teams that had entered the Land of Origin. Why did it sound as if they encountered something unexpected now?
"Where is Lyu, Lyu Liang!" Dongfang Xiaoyu’s brain was chaotic and she could not afford to be reserved. Without thinking, she blurted out the name she missed the most.
Zhu Yan looked up to heaven and sighed. Then he told her everything that happened in the core area. After hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoyu kept silent, then suddenly became clear-eyed and paid a deep tribute to Zhu Shuo, and said: "Thank you for telling me, sir. I understand! I’m going to Pangu Origin world too!" Immediately, regardless of the astonished eyes of several other people besides Zhu Yan, she stepped out of the main hall and left.
Zhu Yan made a "keep silent" gesture just as Dongfang Badao was about to say something. It seemed that he was in a much better mood, laughing and stepping out of the main hall.
