The Devilish Immortal Chapter 164 - A New Superstar

Chapter 164 A New Superstar

When Lyu Liang went through the transmission formation, he was still disguised as a whiskered man, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

The inspection carried out around the transmission formation in the Green-City Region, was much stricter than those in the previous areas.

Cultivators at the Peak of Almighty Immortal were scattered around, each with a stern look and sharp eyes, sweeping through those heading to the transmission formation.

Lyu Liang had attained perfection in transfiguration, and the other five people would not be recognized even though they did not disguise themselves. While going through the inspection, Lyu Liang could feel the tension brought on by the war.

Everyone who entered the transmission formation had to take a medicinal pill to control their cultivation and be constrained by a restriction formation. Each of them would be powerless, after the constraint. It was said that only after another thorough inspection, would the restriction then be lifted.

After about half an hour, the six of them finally stepped into the transmission formation to Jibo Territory.

With a flash of white, they reached a transmission formation, covered by a series of Great Defense Formations.

“Ah, we’re finally here! But the people here are too cautious! I have never experienced such strict inspections and restrictions!” Just after Liu Jiawen stretched herself, she was stunned by more rigorous inspection rituals, in front of her.

The Great Defense Formations were all extraordinary, and high-level cultivators were scattered all around, outside. Moreover, there were four cannon-like artifacts with their muzzles pointing at the transmission formation. Their destructive auras made the six s.h.i.+ver at the same time.

“Stop and subject yourselves to the inspection!” When the six finally came to the last Great Defense Formation, they were stopped, by a roar. Anyhow, they were used to such rigorous, frequent inspections, by now.

“Eh? Why… Why are there so many seniors Tiankui?” With his Divine Sense blocked, Lyu Liang didn’t know about the situation outside, until this moment.

Outside the Great Defense Formation, at every 10 meters, there was a single-horned, horse-like beast, with the same look as the divine beast Tiankui, who had accompanied the founding father of Sword Character! However, each of the three transmission formations had a divine beast, so there were three altogether, which made Lyu Liang very confused.

“Idiot, none of them is our fifth brother. They are subst.i.tutes, which some powerful figure created with a Divided Soul from our fifth brother, and they can search the soul. But as you can see, they can do nothing else beyond this.” White’s drawling voice explained to Lyu Liang.

“Will the subst.i.tutes of senior Tiankui recognize us? Do they have any spiritual intelligence and treat everyone the same way?” Lyu Liang thought the possibility was low, but he still put forward his concern.

“No. It’s the Divided Soul from our fifth brother. I mean, his subst.i.tutes have only the power for searching souls, but their consciousness still belongs to him. No need to worry.” After saying this, White closed his eyes and remained silent.

Lyu Liang was indeed very worried. Before he even made his way over, all the three Heaven Peeking Beasts eyed him instantly. Lyu Liang walked out from the middle transmission formation, and the beasts on the two sides glanced at him and looked away immediately. Only the middle one stared at him, its eyes sparkling with excitement.

When the six moved closer, a layer of silver light shrouded them, and a feeling of thorough Divine-Soul inspection spread over them. Lyu Liang had experienced this once and was somehow familiar with it, while the other five still felt uncomfortable with it.

At the moment, the middle Heaven Peeking Beast nodded, and then, a stern, robust man beside him waved his hand and said, “Pa.s.s! Next group!”

After pa.s.sing the inspection, the six walked to the entrance, where they took the medicinal pills to remove the restriction formation. They then walked over to the two cultivators wearing the uniforms of the Sword Character Immortal Palace.

“Senior brother, Ancestor said that senior Lyu Liang should have been here two days ago, but today is already the third day. Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”

“Junior brother, take it easy. He has reached Green-City Region and will certainly pa.s.s this way. He must have been delayed by something. Oh yes, it is said that senior Lyu did some good deeds in Fog Country, which probably delayed him!”

Lyu Liang sweated as he walked closer to them. One of them was at the Peak of Fairy Immortal, and the other was at the Middle-stage of Xuan Immortal, but that both of them were addressing him as “senior,” made him feel very uncomfortable.

When the six walked to them, the two disciples of the Sword Character Immortal Palace turned to them. Then, the Xuan Immortal cupped his hands and asked, “Taoism peers, do you want to ask us anything?”

All the six didn’t hide their cultivation. Except for Lyu Liang, who was at the Late-stage of Fairy Immortal, the other five were all at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. As such, they were very eye-catching, no matter where they went.

The two looked familiar to Lyu Liang. He must have seen them before, but had not spoken to them.

Seeing them, Lyu Liang didn’t plan to keep his disguise any longer, and with a flash, he showed them his real appearance. Cupping his hands, he greeted them with a smile, “Senior brothers, I’m Lyu Liang. I’m here to report to the Sword Character Immortal Palace!”

The two were stunned, and then they revealed an exaggerated expression of surprise and excitement, and bowed immediately, “Disciple of the Immortal Palace, Lu Chun (Zhao Youliang) welcomes senior Lyu!”

The other five tried very hard to hold back their laughter, while Lyu Liang waved his hand and said sheepishly, “Senior brothers, your cultivation is higher than mine, so I am just your junior brother. Please don’t call me ‘senior’ anymore. It’s an honor that I can’t live up to!”

“No, you certainly can! It’s our fortune to welcome senior Lyu here! You rescued the whole Wufang Territory with your strength, and our families and friends can now live a safe and sound life, because of you. As such, you deserve the t.i.tle ‘senior’!”

Seeing the sincerity in their eyes, Lyu Liang couldn’t decline the appellation anymore. He told them that he was on the way to the main battlefield, and wanted to visit the founding father of Sword Character.

After a while, everyone knew that Lyu Liang was here. All the people, be it the cultivators on guard or those pa.s.sing by, scrambled for a look at the new superstar, who had ordinary cultivation, yet such horrifying strength.

The guards, especially, blocked the transmission formation directly after informing those in Green-City Region, without giving any reason. Anyway, during the wartime, it was not the first time they were doing this; they did the same thing whenever they found any suspicious person.

Seeing that, Lyu Liang felt quite helpless. He thought, “It seems that I have misjudged the situation. I never expected that I’m that well-known.”

Fortunately, after a bell rang, a group of people from the Sword Character Immortal Palace came in. Leading them was the awesome, founding father of Sword Character, who was smiling gladly, and beside him was Xuan Nyu Fairy.

Lyu Liang headed forward hastily, knelt in front of the founding father of Sword Character, and greeted him sincerely, “Master, disciple Lyu Liang is back!”

The founding father of Sword Character lifted Lyu Liang, and said with a laugh, “Nice to see you back! You are extraordinary now. Just look at the scene around you. The Sword Character Immortal Palace has been raised to fame in the entire Chaotic World, because of you!”

Then, Lyu Liang also greeted Xuan Nyu Fairy, but with guilt on his face, because of the incident related to Shangguan Ying.

Xuan Nyu Fairy said with a light smile, “Don’t think too much about it. It’s Ying’er’s predestined fate. But with you here, to love and support her, I believe that there will be a good ending after that.”

More and more people gathered around the place, and the founding father of Sword Character decided at once, to take the six to the temporary headquarters of the Immortal Allies, in the main battlefield.

Although Lyu Liang revealed his real appearance out of necessity, some people noticed that and messaged their respective powers immediately.

…………………………

In the 12th war zone of the headquarters of the Immortal Allies, there was a splendid mansion, where a handsome young man was listening to a kneeling servant’s report. He wore a purple-golden cap, dragon-scale armor, and his eyebrows were das.h.i.+ng and his eyes, sharp.

“Well, I see. You’ve done a good job. Get 300 mid-grade Primordial Stones for yourself, at the back.” The young man waved his hand and said in a soft, pleasant voice.

With a joyful look, the servant kowtowed to express his thanks and left.

“Ho ho, a new superstar, Lyu Liang? I never expected that during this thousand years of my closed-door meditation, there would be such a legend in Wufang Territory. I’m curious about whether he is as brave and powerful as it is said!” His voice was still soft, yet his face was full of disdain.

“Hey hey, he’s just a small bit who came by some good opportunities and doesn’t deserve your care. His deeds are just exaggerations by word of mouth. What robust strength could a guy who counts on primitive sword soul, have?” An indistinct, fog-like figure beside him, commented in a harsh and obscure voice.

“Haha, even so, I’m only more eager to meet him! Fog Devil, Lyu Liang can use the Xuanyuan Swordsmans.h.i.+p, so if I am not wrong, he’s probably the disciple of Dreamless Heavenly Lord. I know that, although as you disdainfully said, you want to eliminate him immediately. Is that right?” “It’s so rare for you to say so much at a time!” The young man smiled slightly and glanced at the fog beside him.

“Nothing can be hidden from your eyes! Yes, although I can’t find that lunatic, dealing with his proud disciple is a pleasure I’m looking forward to! But after all, he’s…” The fog-like figure gnashed his teeth in hatred at first, but later he seemed to be hesitant.

At this moment, the young man rose suddenly and crushed a cup with his hand. He smiled softly and said, “One redeemer is enough, and it won’t be him!”

…………………………

At the same time, in a gloomy cave residence in the Nether Big World, five powerful figures at the Supreme Master level, gathered together.

“Lyu Liang is finally here, and the point to note is that he has three people from the Remote Antiquity family with him. That is a real problem!”

“Never mind. The war field won’t be kinder to the Remote Antiquity family! The guys from the Liu and Zheng families are too naive. If they insist on interfering and we hurt them at that time, the seniors can’t blame us for that! Isn’t that right, brother Kong?”

“Of course. Those of the Remote Antiquity families are allowed to come to the Mortal World for the test of principles. If any accident occurs, they can only accept it as bad luck. We only need to pay special attention to the girl from the Zheng family, the previous Illusory Sea among the eight Immortal Generals. Even though her strength is constrained, we have to be very careful if we confront her in combat!”

“Anyway, these guys pose the biggest problems. We must stop now. It should be time to launch the secret scheme!”

“Yes. Three months later, we will enter the relic, and that will be an excellent opportunity! It will be unfortunate for Lyu Liang and his companions if they die there!”

“But as I know, they also need to pa.s.s the selection. What if they can’t make it…”

“You worry too much. With a.s.sistance from the three from the Liu and Zheng families, they will certainly be able to enter the relic!”
