The Devilish Immortal Chapter 170 - Mysterious Blood Shadow

Chapter 170 Mysterious Blood Shadow

Lyu Liang’s heart sunk at his words. He had also realized it, but was unwilling to doubt his teammates. Now that someone had pierced into the truth, he had to confront it.

In Lyu Liang’s eyes, Zhu Yan, Liu Jiahao, Liu Jiawen, Zheng Xuan, and Yang Ying were absolutely reliable, and if he himself was counted in, there were six of them in total that could be excluded.

For the remaining four who he was not quite familiar with, Feng Xiu was the least suspected because he was from the Feng family in the Ghost Realm, and it was impossible for him to be a Man of Sacrifice.

And Lyu Liang knew nothing about the remaining three at all. Among them, Zhao Yucheng, who looked lethargic, was a commonly recognized elite. Although he had said nothing up to now and shown no body techniques, it was also impossible for such a renowned person to be a Man of Sacrifice.

As for the tall man he had saved, he had seen the man’s yearning for survival and his despair in the face of death, furthermore, the grat.i.tude in his eyes was so sincere. If he was the Man of Sacrifice, then he had to be a superb actor.

The last one he suspected was the young man from the Spirit Clan who was wearing dark green. Maybe because he was from a different clan, but he also acted mysteriously and seldom expressed his opinion. He always followed the others like Zhao Yucheng did, never giving his advice.

But all of this was useless information. The only thing they could probably confirm was that the Man of Sacrifice might be among Zhao Yucheng, the young man from the Spirit Clan, and the tall man. But it didn’t mean that Feng Xiu was excluded from being suspected, but compared with the above-mentioned three, he was less likely.

Therefore, the tall man and the young man from the Spirit Clan were the most suspected. After all, Lyu Liang knew nothing about them, so they were temporarily listed as the most suspected ones.

Lyu Liang followed the others slowly because of his being injured just now. The effect of Tianxuan Holy Rattan gradually showed, so he could obviously feel that his damaged body and the Divine Soul were all recovering in order. It was estimated that he would soon recover, but the rejuvenation of his Divine Soul was not fast enough, so it probably would take him several days to fully recover.

While Lyu Liang was pondering, Zhu Yan unexpectedly and secretly transmitted a voice to him: “Brother, I feel there is something wrong with someone among us. Although I don’t know who he is, I firmly trust those people you have brought here. Now I have a hunch that what has happened in the outside s.p.a.ce is just the beginning. If I am right, his target is you! Now I have another important thing to discuss with you…”

While listening to Zhu Yan, Lyu Liang gradually furrowed his brows and then seriously replied: “Take it easy, I will not let you down!”

These mountains were the last place that all the previous teams that had successfully entered the Relic could explore. It was not that they didn’t want to go ahead, but they couldn’t find a way to go ahead. So all the teams rushed about in the mountains for a whole year but still couldn’t go any farther.

That cultivator, the only one who could remain here for more than one year, entered the mountains in the second year. What people knew was that when others were forced to leave the mountain, he had managed to stay there alone. But neither the third group nor the fourth group of explorers that entered the mountains had found any trace of him.

As for the news that he had been killed by a giant beast, n.o.body knew who had released such information. However, since people couldn’t see him for a long time, they began to believe the news was true.

Wild beasts also hunted in these mountains, but they were just at the ordinary Wildness level, having no spiritual intelligence and they were not so large in number. Therefore, it would be easier for them to deal with these wild beasts.

However, there were also threats here that could menace the life of a cultivator, which were the s.p.a.ce cracks and the turbulence here and there. Combined with the strange terrain and the power of law, these threats were no less dangerous than the outside s.p.a.ce.

Although Lyu Liang’s group could be called the strongest compared with the previous ones, what they pursued was of no different from the previous ones. They all knew that in such a dangerous place, staying alive was the most important thing, and then fate would decide whether they could go any farther.

There were many abandoned caves in these mountains. What Lyu Liang and the other people wanted was the one that had a restriction formation because those without restriction formations had probably been discarded a long time ago, or been explored by the previous teams.

In the first few days, they were all tortured by the mysterious s.p.a.ce cracks and the turbulence. What made them more depressed was that an unknown suppression power would be formed in this place at night. That suppression power could not only s.h.i.+eld the Divine Sense, but also limit their flight, and even the strength of their moves was weakened! How dangerous it was!

But it didn’t mean that they couldn’t fly. The fact was that once their feet left the ground, they would be hindered by a huge power, giving them a big burden while flying. Furthermore, they would also feel it more difficult to fly forward. To be frank, it was quicker to run than to fly in such a situation!

Therefore, they quickly reached an agreement that they would just explore in the daytime. When night fell, they would find a safe place to rest. There were caves everywhere in these mountains, each of which yet could just contain one to three people.

Lyu Liang thought it would be safer for two or three of them to live together, so they would find some big cave residences to the best of their abilities.

As for the tall man, after he was saved by Lyu Liang, he would look at Lyu Liang with wors.h.i.+pping eyes all day long, and followed Lyu Liang everywhere. The shyness and persistence he showed totally failed to match his wild appearance.

As for the division of groups, Lyu Liang, Zhu Yan, and the tall man formed one group; Zhao Yucheng and Feng Xiu formed one group; Liu Jiahao and the young man in dark green formed one group; and Yang Ying, Liu Jiawen, and Zheng Xuan formed one group.

After another three days pa.s.sed by, they finally found a cave with a restriction formation, which made them overjoyed. Although the restriction formation was a bit complicated, under the help of Black, Lyu Liang entered the restriction formation without any difficulty.

The cave did not look so big from the outside, it seemed to be as small as those abandoned caves that could only contain two people. But when entering the cave, Lyu Liang found that was so marvelous.

Inside the cave was a large courtyard with a wooden house located in the middle. Behind the wooden house were three huge guns placed side by side.

Lyu Liang felt exulted. He first walked over to the huge guns, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he got an idea and collected all of them into his Interspatial Bracelet. Then he approached the front of the wooden house, opened the door, and walked in.

The layout inside the wooden house was much simpler. There were nothing but a table and a rush cus.h.i.+on here. On the table there lay a brocade box, which Lyu Liang opened to find three ultimate-grade Primordial Stones with dense Primordial Qi!

“Boy, the rush cus.h.i.+on is a good thing. You can sit on it and try to use your Cultivation Method!” White promptly drew Lyu Liang’s attention to that inconspicuous rush cus.h.i.+on on the ground.

The rush cus.h.i.+on was just an ordinary straw rush cus.h.i.+on at first sight, and the only thing that drew Lyu Liang’s attention was that there was a faint Eight-Diagram at the bottom of the cus.h.i.+on.

Therefore, following White’s instruction, Lyu Liang immediately sat down with his legs crossed and began to use the Xuanyuan Mantra. What happened next really gave him a big surprise!

Since he began to operate the Xuanyuan Mantra, streams of Devil Immortal Qi had gone through his body from the bottom to the top, and the speed of operating the Mind Mantra was twice as fast as it was before! That was to say, if he continued to operate cultivation on the rush cus.h.i.+on, the speed of his cultivation would be greatly raised, which would be at least twice as fast as it was before! In this sense, the rush cus.h.i.+on was definitely an invaluable treasure!

“You can tell others about the huge guns, but never let them see the Primordial Stone and rush cus.h.i.+on.” What White said was concise but comprehensive, so Lyu Liang followed his words without any hesitation.

Lyu Liang had been in the cave for about one hour, and most of his time was spent on the rush cus.h.i.+on. But it was not his fault. Anyone who found such a treasure would stay on it as long as possible. What made him more comfortable was that, after exercising on the rush cus.h.i.+on for such a short time, his Divine Soul had totally recovered, which he previously thought would take half a month to recover.

The moment Lyu Liang walked out of the cave, the whole cave thundered, and then the restriction formation at the entrance of the cave disappeared, leaving a s.p.a.ce as narrow as that in the abandoned caves they previously saw.

Only Lyu Liang knew the reason. It seemed that the courtyard he had seen was a s.p.a.ce made by the previous resident of the cave. When Lyu Liang took away all the portable things inside, he probably triggered the destructive restriction formation inside. Therefore, when he came out, everything inside the cave was destroyed.

Lyu Liang pretended to feel sorry about that, and then showed the three guns to the others, not mentioning anything else.

As to why the restriction formation could not affect Lyu Liang, those who knew him were all aware of the reason and had already made an agreement to keep silent. Zhao Yucheng was always revealing an indifferent look, and Feng Xiu and the man in dark green were also still of tongue. Therefore, among them, only the tall man was curious but he refrained from asking about it when he saw the reaction of the others.

It was getting darker and darker, so they began to find caves to rest in. The distance between the caves here was much greater than that between the previous ones. Even if they ran from one cave to another, it would still take them at least 30 minutes.

The key point was that within the area that was safe, there was only one cave that could hold two people, one cave that could hold three people, and the other caves could just hold one person.

The biggest cave would naturally be given to the three girls. As for the one that could hold two people, they discussed it and finally decided to let Lyu Liang and Zhu Yan stay in it. After all, there was an invaluable treasure in Lyu Liang, and Zhu Yan was his bosom friend, who was smart and had excellent body techniques. So this kind of combination would put the others at ease.

In these mountains at night, besides the roaring winds, there were only the occasional sounds of cracking, which was made by the s.p.a.ce crack.

However, a shrill screech suddenly broke the silence and pierced the sky like lightning. Lyu Liang and Zhu Yan looked at each other and immediately dashed out.

Although his Divine Sense was blocked, judging from the direction of the screeching, Lyu Liang thought it was from the west of their cave. If his judgment was right, the screeching was probably from the southwest, where Zhao Yucheng’s cave was located.

Lyu Liang had a bad hunch that the man who had screeched must have been killed! So he resolutely used the Kun Peng Skill, triggered the Devil Thunder Wing and wore his silver Spirit Armor as well. He ran away from Zhu Yan in an instant.

However, while Lyu Liang was das.h.i.+ng ahead, he suddenly heard the hasty voice of Zhu Yan. “Escape!”

Just at that moment, a strong power darted to attack Lyu Liang from behind him on the right side. Although Lyu Liang promptly tilted his body to escape, he was still hit! Strong as he was, he was knocked dizzy and his Divine Soul was greatly shaken!

What surprised Lyu Liang was that such an attack could have hit his Divine Soul! Luckily, his body and Divine Soul were both protected by a secret method, and the power of that attack was weakened by the suppression power here. If it were not in this place, it would have been extremely troublesome!

It was not until now that Lyu Liang found a chance to see what had attacked him. It was a faint blood shadow that was standing behind him, which seemed to be stunned when it saw that Liang was able to stand up without being injured. Yet in a flash, it dashed forward to the left!

How could Lyu Liang allow it to escape! He directly used the Ghost Devil Head, which greatly increased his speed!

Lyu Liang simply wanted to catch up with the blood shadow as soon as possible. The blood shadow ran really fast, and if they continued running like this, even if he could catch up with the blood shadow, it would be quite far away! It would be better if they were running in an ordinary place, but in this place filled with s.p.a.ce cracks and turbulence, a bit of carelessness would do great harm.

After several seconds, they had run over 30 meters away. Suddenly, Lyu Liang furiously yelled, gus.h.i.+ng out the Power of Law of Field Domain, which covered the blood shadow in an instant.

But just at the moment, an unexpected event occurred! A white light suddenly shone around Lyu Liang, and then the blood shadow disappeared. As for Lyu Liang, he was trapped in heavy fog.

“d.a.m.n it! It’s an ambus.h.!.+ It’s a formation!” Confirming it in an instant, Lyu Liang immediately united with Black to quickly find the Formation Key.

However, hardly had he found the Formation Key that a strong power of Sword Qi came from behind, which was accompanied by a roar: “Lyu Liang, go to h.e.l.l!”
