Chapter 70
After Lyu Liang was thrown into the seven-color whirlpool, he felt rather desperate. Feeling the irregular space turbulence, based on his still state, "Who knows where it will bring me to? Will I be floating here all my life? What about Ying’er? Will she be the same as me?"
Suddenly, a gentle breeze drifted by and Lyu Liang was surprised to find that he could move! Immediately, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Kid, I really miss those happy days when the three of us ate and drank together in the rear mountains. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it will ever happen again!"
Lyu Liang was surprised at first and then happy. This voice, this feeling, it told him that the person behind him was the old geezer who guarded the herb garden in the Sword Character Immortal Palace!!
Those days in the Sword Character Imperial Palace rear mountains were the most pleasant period since Lyu Liang started his cultivation. Although at first due to Black’s words, he felt a little awkward with the Herb Geezer, but with the increase of contact over time, the two eventually had a friendship that lasted for generations!
Moreover, because the old man was able to solve his crisis so easily, Lyu Liang was very grateful to him from his heart and would never have any suspicious thoughts about him. Obviously, this was not a ordinary powerful figure! Now that he could appear here, it should have something to do with everything that had happened.
Lyu Liang bowed to the old man and said respectfully, "This junior thanks my senior for saving my life!"
Herb Geezer chuckled: "I still like to hear you calling me Master Herb. But here, you can call me whatever you like. Anyway, when you go out later, you can’t reveal my true situation! "
Looking at Lu Liang’s inquiring eyes, Herb Geezer sighed slightly and said in a sober voice: "I know you have questions. Before that, however, I hope you will tell me all the stories about the Creators that Xu Chongzhi, or Xu Mubai, once described to you. After that, I will answer all the questions for you! "
Lyu Liang felt in his heart that he should exercise caution. "If Herb Geezer knew about the Creator, it seems that his identity could not be a simple one."
"Anyway, no matter what the identity of this old man was, it is obvious that he is on my side" Lyu Liang did not hesitate to give a detailed description of the previous situation. Initially, while listening to him, Herb Geezer was very calm, but the story went on, his eyebrows became more and more furrowed.
An hour later, when Lyu Liang had finished his tale, Herb Geezer looked up to heaven and sighed, shaking his head: "Xu Chongzhi’s nature is very good. It’s only because of his obsession with Bai Wanying that he has come to this stage. Unfortunate and lamentable indeed!
Suddenly, Lyu Liang was shocked to find that the old man exuding a pure True Devil Qi all over his body. Then he heard a sentence that startled him: "This untalented old man is one of the five leaders of Creators of that year. With your ancestor Xuanli Zhen, we are the two leaders from the Devil Clan. My name is Feng Li. Currently, I am the real master of Crazy Devil Blade. Xu Chongzhi’s life divine weapon is in reality, the Hellfire Shield.
Lyu Liang’s mouth was agape and it was sometime before he could choke out a sentence. "You, you… are senior Feng Li?! This, this… Did Big Brother lie to me?" Lyu Liang’s thoughts were chaotic. Numerous contradictory information constantly ran through his mind. At the same time, the pain of betrayal by his brother of life and death weighed heavily on his heart.
He could not forget Xu Mubai’s tone and face when he said that. Although things that happened later made Lyu Liang angry, he also seemed to understand that the original body of Xu Chongzhi, who was the master of Blood Divine Sect, had deceived Xu Mubai, the second partitioned soul. But he never thought about doubting what his big brother had said in the past. At this moment, this belief had been ruthlessly shattered by the words of Herb Geezer!
Looking at the bewildered Lyu Liang, Feng Li sighed deeply and said in a heavy voice: "Xu Mubai didn’t mean to deceive you. He is only Xu Chongzhi’s second partitioned soul. I expect
Lyu Liang forced himself to calm down. At the same time, he felt a little better when he recalled Feng Li’s words.
Without stopping, Feng Li went on to say, "A large part of what he said was right, but in some key details, he set you off on a completely wrong direction. But we cannot blame him. If I were to witness what happened then, I might have done the same thing as he did!"
"First of all, it is the ownership of the life divine weapon. Others’ ownerships are right, but Xu Chongzhi and I should exchange the ownerships. Moreover, his original body also belongs to the devil clan, and his second partitioned soul is just part of the human race. Hundreds of years ago, I came across the Soul-Depriving bell that had been transformed into a human shape. He told me that, Xu Chongzhi, guided by his own blood and relying on the souls of tens of thousands of common creatures, nurtured and restored the Hellfire Shield."
"What’s more, it’s the real situation of the sealed space channel. Xu Chongzhi only saw the results, but did not know the process. I know, after listening to his narrative, your impression of me and your old ancestor whom you merely know by name, must be terrible. Especially Xuanli Zhen, of whom you were once proud to have created the first big clan in the devil world, is such a villainous and evil person. It must be very upsetting to you in your heart? However, I can tell you clearly that Xu Chongzhi was wrong! Extremely wrong! Your ancestor is the man who stands on top of the heaven and earth! You should regard yourself as the grandson of Xuanli Zhen, the greatest glory of your life! In the future, you will have enough opportunities to know the meaning of what I said!"
"At that time, we really wanted to destroy those spatial channels. But the real situation was that, Xu Chongzhi took the Profound Sealing Ring of Bai Wanying and my Crazy Devil Blade to destroy the other four channels and to seal the channel connecting the demon realm by himself. The four of us were going to complete the task of sealing off the channel connecting the alien world at the same time."
"By the way, there’s another fact he’s hiding. Bai Wanying does not have the body of the law, but has one of the three holy bodies, the law-sealing body and is in the fully activated state! She can even mobilize the laws of heaven and earth and the power of seals for her own use in conjunction with her life divine weapon Profound Sealing Ring!"
"The reason why we were acting separately is that, firstly, we were pressed for time and changes could take place later; secondly, we had investigated various channels before and we already fully understood the mysteries of them. Four channels would be destroyed and only two channels could be sealed. This was a long-known situation. Xu Chongzhi was Bai Wanying’s most trusted person, but also had a second partitioned soul to help, so the five places were given to him to deal with. As for why he needed to use the Crazy Devil Blade, I put forward the idea based on my own initiative. After all, somebody has to make a sacrifice, right? Moreover, I am the weakest of the five men in terms of fighting, so I took the easy way out by contributing my life divine weapon!"
"The four of us arrived at the alien world channel and began to seal it." "The only one who had previously escaped, attacked Bai Wanying! What’s more, he used a very weird method of soul replacing!"
"At that time, the situation was very dangerous. We were all trying to seal up the spatial channel, especially Bai Wanying. Her spiritual power was almost entirely concentrated on the seal and she had no ability to resist the attack at all! So much so that the enemy almost succeeded with one hit. She even began to release magic weapons to attack the three of us and tried to take away the life divine weapons in our hands!"
"You know what? The bond between the five of us was extremely strong, built up through the years! Even if her soul had been replaced, how could we attack her? While we were in a dilemma, Bai Wanying suddenly put her hands over her head and gave a series of complex spells to us. She pointed out that that was the strong way to seal the channel with her body as primer. At that moment, she struggled with her own soul to temporarily suppress the spiritual manipulation of the alien people."
"Finally, the three of us, almost in tears, completed Bai Wanying’s final entrustment. The moment the seal was finished, she closed her eyes and smiled!"
Just as we were done, we were greeted by Xu Chongzhi, who was furious! He said that when he sealed the passage of the demon clan, he always had an unknown premonition, so he left the second partitioned soul to continue and the original body had rushed out, just to see the final scene as we were sealing Bai Wanying!"
"Without any chance to explain, there could only be a fierce battle! If we had not resisted at that time, none of us would have escaped death. Therefore, we too had to release our life divine weapons to start a deadly battle with the original life-and-death brother!"
"Although Xu Chongzhi was unequalled in his bravery and power, there were three of us, so there was not much difference between us in terms of strength. In less than an hour, he could not resist our attack. Finally, with the help of the spirit of the Profound Sealing Ring, and with our restrains, he managed to escape, but was injured."
"Esteemed Five-element left also. He had completely lost his attachment to this world full of disputes and desires; he left the Soul-Depriving bell that had produced a soul in the Chaotic world and he took the Spirit clans under his command to open up a secret space and live a world-isolating life of avoidance. So far, I don’t know how to reach his Spirit realm!"
"Xuanli Zhen also left. At that time, the tri-ethnic melee had just started and he was ready to lead his clans to fight for a place. I left too, with my clans, separately divided a realm, including the vast space where the alien world channel was sealed, named ‘ghost realm’. In the place where the alien world channel is located, I even set up a prohibition formation, claiming to be the place where the cave houses of the ghost world powerful figures were located, which is called the ‘Sunset Kingdom’."
"Coincidentally, the spiritual qi in my space is different from those three types of spiritual qi in the celestial, demonic and devil realms. It coincides with the appellation of ‘ghost realm’. Over the years, under my deliberate arrangement, the rumors that the Feng family members are ghost extraditors, have been passed down."
"Later, the two emperors, Green Dragon and Suzaku, joined me to divide the disputing world into three realms: human, demon and devil. Meanwhile, we have convened talks with powerful figures from all realms and established the rule of non-aggression. After that, I began to travel around the world, while searching for the missing Xu Chongzhi."
After speaking, the emotion of remembrance was evident in the eyes of Feng Li, the. Then, with a sudden smile, he said, "There are so many old things and all those who should go, have gone. Let’s talk about something that makes you happy. I know the whereabouts of little Mengdao, your master, who has never met you before. Because, at that time, I taught him to create the Virtual Land and I also told him the way to restore the body of Xuanli Feiwu. Finally, I personally sent him to the Sunset Kingdom!"
