After three days of rest, Lyu Liang formally confided his plan about the future to his three senior brothers. To him, they were the only people that he could trust with his life!

Nie Qingyun left two days ago, as he had to go back to the Yue Feng Nest Meeting and confess to the bearded man. After all, that man had saved his life more than once. After that, he would also go and look for Zhu Yu.

“You… You are really leaving?” Feng Mazi sighed and said, “It was like a dream, you know… Since you’ve decided to leave, we won’t persuade you to stay then. We’ll explain to the master for you. No matter what, your identity had basically been made public now.”

“Thanks, senior brothers! No matter what happens in the end, Tianshu Pavilion and you guys are the benefactors that I’ll remember for a lifetime!” Lyu Liang said firmly. And then after saying their goodbyes, he directly flew off without looking back.

“He is gone… We should also make some preparations then.” Feng Mazi saw Lyu Liang disappearing and suddenly felt relieved. The next second, his cultivation became slightly unstable. Shaking his head, he said with a bitter smile, “Thank god he is fast. Otherwise, I was even on the verge of giving up.”

With his words, Meng Yun and Yan Zidao’s cultivations also lessened slightly like his, and then became unstable. They all looked a bit weary.

At this time, Yan Zidao asked, “Senior brother, we have obeyed you totally! And now the talisman in our bodies have been removed. A lot of the Divine Soul has been consumed!”

“Haha, that is nothing compared to death! I trust Feng Mazi. He has never let me down until now!” Meng Yun was not worried at all, and said happily, “I used to feel very uncomfortable every time I saw Nie Qingyun. And now I’m just fine when he is around! It feels great!”

Feng Mazi turned his head and said solemnly, “The Nether Big World is not peaceful now! Although I have no idea what is going to happen, we’d better not go down the mine during this period, and stay here to recover first. I just feel that if something really happens, we would be the cannon fodder!”

The area between the Northern Mining Area and the place where the Dreamless Heavenly Lord was located in the west, was a creepy space crack. It was impossible to cross it directly. If they went into the inner city and directly headed to the south, they definitely had to pass the sphere of influence of the Dark Reign. Lyu Liang and his companions had been to the Nether Big World many times, and clearly knew how dangerous it was. They would rather go to the Magic Forest!

Even with Qiao Youliang leading them before, they had run into danger and Nie Qingyun had been assaulted. But, when he thought about how all his companions would gather together, he was also looking forward to it.

From the absolute territory of Tianshu Pavilion to the place where Zhu Yu was at, it would take Lyu Liang at least one day, if he did not use the instantaneous flash.

The only thing that he felt relieved about was that no one dared to mess with him in the mining area, even though he had already exposed himself. After all, only few people could control the monster in the mining area, and he was one of them!

Talking about the monster in the mining area, there had been no mention of the mushroom for days.

If he had not suddenly thought of the mushroom before he left, Lyu Liang almost left that place right away.

However, when he arrived in the previous Minging Vein, the mushroom was still enjoying his feast…

Lyu Liang understood that. As all the Gray Fog monsters functioned as a link, only the golden spirit soul itself was slowly devouring the cultivators. The time that was needed for eating one cultivator was basically more than six hours…

Lyu Liang saw that there were still 10 half dead cultivators left uneaten. Although they were not dead yet, they were obviously being controlled by a powerful binding method, and became a piece of meat for the mushroom.

“Let me imprison their Divine Souls, so you can eat on the way!” Lyu Liang could not wait any longer as the mushroom was eating so slowly, and suggested this idea to it. The mushroom could have been feeling a little bored, so it agreed immediately. After Lyu Liang put them into the cave residence, the mushroom went in there, and continued eating.

After more than half a day, it grew dark, which meant that night was coming to the Nether Big World.

Lyu Liang was already in the eastern part at this time, and should join his companions in less than four hours.

But suddenly a stream of horrifying pressure fell on him! As Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul was on alert all the time, it instantly began to defend and pushed forward aggressively. Even though the attacker’s suppression was pushed away, Lyu Liang still frowned!

The powerful people would immediately know what their opponents’ actual strength was the minute they fought!

The person that had made a surprise attack must be a powerful cultivator in the ancestor level. And, he was probably a super powerful figure of God Ancestor!

“Well? You are good!” A greatly surprised voice could be heard. Then, a strong man wearing a suit of black armor, appeared.

It was a handsome, arrogant young man with an angular face, who was the one who had been hostile toward Lyu Liang, after Nie Qingyun’s life-and-death fight.

“What do you mean, sir?” Lyu Liang asked him calmly, but he was obviously discontented with him and thought, “You are superior to me, but I don’t know who you are. You are just a bully!”

The young man looked more disdainful and said maliciously, “You are still alive after experiencing so many things, so you should not be such an idiot. For the girl that you should give up… or you don’t deserve, you’d better drop her earlier!”

“Ah? Excuse me, what do you mean? We don’t know each other, right?” Lyu Liang was puzzled by what he said, having no idea what he was talking about.

“Haha, well, then I’ll come straight to the point!” The aura of the young man burst out in an instant, and a stream of violent pressure flooded Lyu Liang again. Lyu Liang froze and there was already sweat on his forehead!

The young man frowned. He had used 80 percent of his Divine Soul power at the moment. How come the man in front of him being so much more inferior to him, was still standing there and did not kneel? He became even more irritated and said in a deep tone, “Listen up, I’m the Soul Shadow, one of the eight Immortal Generals in the Sanctuary of the Goddess Nyu Wa space! Compared to me, you are not even close! Do you know Su Qiao’er? Right now, she is a favorite of Wu-Ji Five Lords, and also one of the Three Golden Flowers in the Sanctuary! You are just a cultivator in the Mortal World, and don’t deserve to have her, with your identity and status!”

The man spoke so frankly, that Lyu Liang immediately understood his intention!

“… Is that your idea or Qiao’er’s idea?” Lyu Liang really liked Su Qiao’er. When he knew that she was cultivating with Xing Yun Fairy before, he was truly happy for her. But, at the moment, he felt very complicated.

It was obvious that that this Immortal General also liked Su Qiao’er, and he was much stronger than Lyu Liang! Although what he said was mean, it was true.

Su Qiao’er was no longer the distressed girl from a long time ago. Lyu Liang had heard a lot about Wu-Ji Five Lords, so he was quite clear about his status. At the time, Qiao’er was a favorite with Wu-Ji Five Lords. She was indeed much more superior to him, who was just a man in the Mortal World…

Thinking of himself, he often put himself through various dangers. Then his trying to save his master, going to the Heaven Realm to help Zhu Yu seek justice… All those experiences would endanger his life! What good would it do her if she was with him…

“Now Qiao’er is a Golden Flower in the Sanctuary, and there is also a powerful figure, the Immortal General, who adores her. Maybe that is her best choice.” Lyu Liang felt a little pang, as he had a history with Qiao’er, which he had imprinted in his memory. It was like only yesterday that they committed to each other. He knew that he had not changed his original intention, but 1,000 thousand years had passed, he was not sure if Qiao’er still felt the same way about him.

He could give up, but he had to figure out whose idea that was!

“Whose idea? Is that important? The thing is that you are not good enough for her! Right now, you are hardly able to protect yourself, how are you going to make her happy? Dude, be smart. Just let go of the things that don’t belong to you!” As the young man was talking, he increased his pressure toward Lyu Liang.

Donghuang Lifeng was very upset. As the Soul Shadow of the eight Immortal Generals, he could easily kill this idiot!

However, he could not even do that, and did not dare do that, either…

A person that could make it to a status like him was always smarter. It was true that Lyu Liang’s identity for the time was a cultivator in the Mortal World, but he had also been mentioned by the number one of the Wu-Ji Five Lords from time to time. That meant that Lyu Liang was not only just an “ordinary cultivator” in the Mortal World.

The most important thing was that Su Qiao’er would never forgive him if he killed Lyu Liang at the moment. Or she might even became hostile toward him.

Therefore, he racked his brain and finally figured out a way to solve that problem without killing him: Make Lyu Liang give up voluntarily!

As he had planned, once he put the pressure on him, a cultivator in the Mortal World like him would never withstand that. Then, he would further seize the chance to talk sense into him. Lyu Liang would surely accept his proposal.

However, the fact was that he had underestimated Lyu Liang’s power.

Lyu Liang could have survived the deathtrap a couple of times. It was not only that he was lucky. That was also due to his super power. His Divine Soul alone had already made Donghuang Lifeng feel stunned. Of course, Donghuang Lifeng wouldn’t back down, even as he was trying to hide his surprise!

When Donghuang Lifeng released more than 90 percent of his strength, Lyu Liang was obviously on the verge of breaking down!

“So powerful…” Lyu Liang was trying hard to withstand the pressure, while thinking at the same time, “Should I waste the Divine Mark that has just been repaired, in this place?”

It was a big thing for men to kneel before anyone! But that was not impossible!

They didn’t kneel to heaven and earth, but they knelt to their parents!

They didn’t kneel to wealth, but they knelt to their benefactors!

They may be forced to kneel after being defeated, but they would never voluntarily kneel if there was still a chance to fight back!

Just as Lyu Liang was pondering whether he should activate the Divine Mark, Donghuang Lifeng who almost won, was suddenly stunned. There was unwillingness in his eyes, but he said deeply, “Dude, remember what I said! Otherwise, even if I could not do anything to you right now, I will definitely give you a hard farewell in the future!”

Lyu Liang was puzzled, but the next second, the pressure on him was gone. He raised his head to look, unable to feel his aura anymore!

At the same time, a surprised voice filled with excitement and softness, came into his Divine Soul, “Master! I finally found you! Wooo…”

Along with the weeping, a red figure suddenly appeared and directly flung herself into Lyu Liang’s arms!

“Qiao’er! Is it… Is it you? We have not seen each other for so many years. How are you? I’m not… not dreaming, right?” Lyu Liang felt as if he were in a dream. He had just been thinking about her. How could she just appear at this time?

Su Qiao’er waved her hand, making a silver light curtain fall around them, and then looked at him lovingly. She cared deeply about him and was so happy at this time, that there were even tears in her eyes. She said, “It’s me! After 1,000 years, 10,000 years or even the universe space destroys, I’ll still be Su Qiao’er, who was relying on you that year! If we are in a dream, I wish we’d never wake up!”

While Lyu Liang and Su Qiao’er were having a sweet reunion, Nie Qingyun was talking with the bearded man in the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, in the inner part of the Nether Big World. He was hesitating and obviously struggling with what the man was saying.

“Your goal is also the west part. Why don’t you go there directly from this place? And your concerns, I can guarantee you, the Dark Reign will never make trouble for you!” The bearded man thumped his chest to make a promise. Nie Qingyun totally trusted him.

“I’ll think about it, but no matter what, I have to go to the east first and join everybody. Then we can discuss what we are going to do next, together.” Nie Qingyun decided that he would find his companions first, and then consult with them.

The bearded man nodded and said, “All right. You can go. But like I said, I’ll keep you guys safe from this place to the west part!”

Nie Qingyun nodded solemnly and then stood up and said goodbye to him. But when he was at the door, he suddenly turned his head and said softly, “When I was dying before, there was a blurred picture in my head… a book burning with black flames… a bunch of people… I was also there, maybe, and there were three other people behind me, two of whom looked like you and Kong Liang… I couldn’t see it clearly, but I felt they were you… Forget it, you will not tell me anything anyway. I won’t make it difficult for you. Thanks a lot for your great kindness. I’m going now. Bye!” After those words, he sighed and then disappeared right away.

What Nie Qingyun did not see was that the bearded man behind him was struck dumbfounded, after hearing what he said. Watching Nie Qingyun fading away, he could not help bursting into tears. He was so happy and said, “Milord… You are recalling everything? It’s good… It’s really good!”

“Yeah… That’s good!” Kong Liang suddenly appeared. He had no tears on his face, yet he looked deeply touched by the scene, and became happy and excited.

“Brother, I’ve already arranged people to do what you ordered. Except that it is still impossible to terminate Lyu Liang at the moment, those fetters our milord has in the mortal world are being removed one by one!” The bearded man regained his dignity at the time and said, “What’s more, some self-righteous idiots have removed the ‘Spell of Master and Servant’ in their bodies by themselves lately!”

“Okay. Don’t leave any trace. Even if our milord wants to check that in the future, he would feel relieved. And those people who have removed their spells, just leave them alone. Once the hellfire red lotus come out, they would barely break away from that! As for Lyu Liang…” The softness in his eyes faded, and he started to speak with a gloomy tone, “For the other fetters, cut them off and everything will be fine. But Lyu Liang will be still a problem for us that is not so easy to deal with, even after we kill him!”

“Brother, since you know that… Why don’t we figure out another method?” The bearded man hesitated, “The connection between him and our milord is no longer a problem that could be solved just by killing him!”

“Do you still remember the oath of Natural Law that we three brothers made that year?” Kong Liang did not answer him and stared at the sky instead.

The bearded man was stunned, and then he looked more resolute, saying, “How could I forget! I understand…”

“Lyu Liang has to die!” Kong Liang said lightly, although his tone was firm and resolute. “Even if we have to sacrifice for that…”
