The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 111—A Trade

After waiting for another incense-burning time, there were no unusual occurrences. At the command of Jingxu Ancestor, all the disciples returned to the Kunlun Sect and then dispersed as birds and beasts.

Lyu Liang’s goal was very direct, that is, to rush to the place where Shangguan Ying was at. However, as he got closer to his destination, there were lesser disciples walking with him. When he entered a no-fly area, suddenly, a roar rang not far ahead, “Stop! Who is that? How dare you rush into the high-level cave residence district at such a time! Do you have a handwritten order from the master?”

Lyu Liang was shocked, and then he felt an aura of an over Xuan Immortal. While he secretly sighed “bad luck” in his heart, he was thinking about how to respond. If he gave a wrong answer, his only chance would be lost completely.

“Ah Sheng, go buy wine. Why are you back so late? Besides, where is the wine!” Suddenly, a voice came from a distance. Subsequently, a tall and thin young man with a pockmarked face appeared slowly, whose cultivation level was actually at the peak of Almighty Immortal stage.

At this time, before Lyu Liang responded, a middle-aged Taoist figure appeared in front of him, while respectfully clasping his hands and saluting. “It turns out it is the second young lord who has arrived! Forgive me not recognizing you! This disciple is a Pingyun Daoist, a disciple of Jingxu Ancestor, do you know that disciple from our sect?”

The pockmark-faced youth sighed softly. “Alas, he was one of the disciples of the Kunlun Sect who came from our Ximen family. Due to my eldest brother’s death, I am really upset, so I asked Ah Sheng to buy wine for me.”

The middle-aged Taoist nodded. There were more than a hundred of disciples sent by the Ximen family to the Kunlun Sect. He only knew a few of them, and in this case, everything was reasonable.

“Oh, that’s it, but I’m being too careful. However, a few days before, the third young lord has ordered that no one should go in or out of this place, so we will check from time to time at this place. I hope the second young lord will forgive me, and this junior will take my leave!” The middle-aged Taoist apologized to the pockmark-faced young man, and disappeared.

“Haha, it seems that the third younger brother can’t wait any longer. Is it my turn next?” the pockmark-faced youth smiled and shook his head, then turned his eyes to Lyu Liang, “Come with me.” After that, he turned around and went into the high-level cave residence district.

Lyu Liang did not hesitate at all, and followed behind. The two men moved forward without saying a word.

Although he didn’t know who this person was, from the degree of respect of the Taoist towards this person, his identity could not be someone at a low level. Lyu Liang recalled seeing him before. During the battle with the people in arena the day before yesterday, in the circle of Ximen family, this man was one of the first three.

“Is he a member of the Ximen family? It’s upmost that we don’t hate each other. Why is he helping me?” Lyu Liang’s mind was spinning with thoughts as he followed the pockmark-faced young man into a guest room.

When they both went in, the pockmark-faced young man laid down a restriction formation and said softly, “You did come, as she said. How desperate you must be! If you are Lyu Liang, take off the mask. I am Ximen Xiayu, the second son of the Ximen family. I am not hostile towards you, I just want to make a deal with you.”

Lyu Liang was a little stunned, but did not hesitate. Anyway, an hour was almost over, and the other party really helped him, so there was no need to continue hiding. The he touched his hand on his face and restored his original appearance.

Ximen Xiayu fixed his eyes on Lyu Liang and then smiled lightly. “It is really you! If you could have been here hundreds of years earlier, you would have been an almighty immortal or even at a higher level. If we can become allies with you, the Ximen family will not be reduced to the point of having their lives held in the hands of others.” Then he turned his head towards the interior of the room and spoke softly, “Come out, he is really ready to die for you.”

As soon as Ximen Xiayu’s voice fell, a whirlwind-like figure emerged from the interior and fell into Lyu Liang’s arms. Lyu Liang held her tightly, because he saw that it was Shangguan Ying in his arms, the person to whom his heart was deeply attached!

“Ying’er, are you all right?” Feeling the real Shangguan Ying, Lyu Liang’s heart was reassured. Even though he was still at the core area of the Kunlun Sectl, he was not so worried.

“Husband, you shouldn’t have come. The Kunlun Sect knew that you would come. It has laid an inescapable trap waiting for you. Although you’ve come in, it’s very difficult to get out!” Shangguan Ying whispered in tears, still holding Lyu Liang’s body tightly, then said softly, “I was framed before, but thankfully there was a man in black who rescued me, and gave me the concealing qi. Later, I tried to escape from the Kunlun Sect, but I was almost discovered. Fortunately, this man brought me here, to take refuge here, at this critical moment.”

At this time, Lyu Liang calmed down. Indeed, even though Shangguan Ying had met him, how to get out of the hazardous place was not a simple matter.

“You two, time is limited. I have one way to help you leave.” Ximen Xiayu, on the side, chimed in.

Lyu Liang was happy, and then respectfully clasped his hands and said, “If you have any way to ensure that my Taoist couple can get out of the Kunlun Sect, we will pay a lot for your kindness!” But, there is no reward without cost, why would you help us escape? Besides, is not the Phoenix Cloth Fairy a suspect who murdered your elder brother?”

Ximen Xiayu laughed at his words, and his eyes were filled with endless sadness, and said in a low voice, “Everyone in the world sees only the infinite glory of my family. But no one knows that, since we stand on the first chair in Western Heaven District, we are just a dog of Supreme Tao Master! My father and my fourth brother were reluctant to do so, and they ended up dead and imprisoned after rebellion. Ximen Qiuye, a shameless scoundrel, has long regconized Supreme Tao Master as his sole master! My father and fourth younger brother failed in their resistance and he has a role in it. Now, in order to trap the Phoenix Cloth Fairy and kill you, he actually murdered our pro-elder brother! Now do you understand why I want to help you?”

This greatly surprised Lyu Liang. The original seemingly infinite Ximent family had long been the puppet of others! With Ximen Qiuye, a villain of the family, Ximen Xiayu was really suffering now!

Seeing Lyu Liang surprised at first and then full of anger, Ximen Xiayu laughed approvingly. “If I can survive, I don’t expect to rise to the Heaven Realm. It’s you, at such an age, having such horrible power and cultivation level. As time goes by, you will surely become the existence of the top in the Heaven realm. Although I am sloppy in other aspects, I think I can appraise people. If we cooperate, the Ximen family may have a chance to change and start over again.”

Only then did Lyu Liang recall that Ximen Xiayu had said the word “deal” when he first entered the door. At present, it seemed that if he and Shangguan Ying want to escape, the chance must rest on this person.

Lyu Liang clasped his hands and said softly, “Thank you Xiayu, for your help and trust. I’m very interested in what you said and I don’t know how to do it now. To tell you the truth, the Divine Concealing Qi in my couple will disappear in less than an hour. She does not have the skills to hide her aura like I do, and then she would be in a terrible situation.”

Ximen Xiayu nodded and said, “When I came here, I have a mini-cave house with me, which can accommodate one person. It shouldn’t be a problem to take her out. I think I should be able to leave here immediately before her aura returns. You can continue to wear your mask. Let’s go together!”

Lyu Liang gave a bitter laugh and shook his head. “Brother Xiayu you do not know something about it. My mask is one-off, and is good for an hour only. It will not be effective now.”

Now, the other two were stunned. Ximen Xiayu’s eyes were much darker, and he was apparently caught off guard by this situation.

Lyu Liang, on the contrary, already had a plan in his mind. He first spoke a few words to Shangguan Ying through a secretly transmitted message, then paid a deep tribute to Ximen Xiayu, “In that case, Brother Xiayu needn’t think about other ways. Just as we discussed before, you should take her with you first. I can escape alone. Just tell me where to look for you in the future.”

Ximen Xiayu seemed to be a brave man. He did not hesitate at the moment, nodded and said, “In this case, I won’t think much about it. If you can leave here without any hitch, go to the Treasure-casting Villa in the market place of Western Heaven District. Look for a fellow named Ah Xiong and say, “Xiaobao looks for Xiaoxiong”. He will take you to me. Before that, the Phoenix Cloth Fairy will stay in my cave house all the time.”

When Lyu Liang asked what he needed to pay afterwards, Ximen Xiayu’s eyes were shining brilliantly and he gnashed his teeth. “I only ask you that you help me destroy the old man Supreme Tao Master, and the rebellious Ximen Qiuye, when you have enough strength and success in the future. If my fourth younger brother is still alive at that time, I hope you can rescue him!”

Lyu Liang nodded solemnly, agreeing to the deal. Subsequently, the three of them discussed a little more, and the plan was thus finalized. As for how Lyu Liang would escape, Shangguan Ying’s inquiry only received a mysterious smile.

Time was pressing, and after another period of time for burning a stick of incense, Ximen Xiayu walked out of the cave residence, ready to leave, while Shangguan Ying entered his accompanying cave residence.

Lyu Liang quietly watched them disappear before he whispered to himself, “Ying’er, let me give you a hand. Now that the Kunlun Sect has laid an inescapable net waiting for me, I can’t let them down, can I?’

..............................

Ximen Xiayu had a smooth and unimpeded trip. He was the second son of the Ximen family, especially now that Ximen Chunfeng was dead, he was probably the future family master in name.

Ximen Xiayu let out a long breath when he walked out of the Kunlun Sect. But before his heart could calm down, a familiar voice came to him from behind, “Yo-ho? Is it you, my second brother! Our eldest brother was murdered by that bitch. Why did you come out alone instead of helping to find the real murderer and take care of the aftermath in the Kunlun Sect?”

The sound came from Ximen Qiuye. At this time, he was looking at Ximen Xiayu with a playful face. There was no sign of the pain of their eldest brother’s death. Beside him stood a blue-robed man with a feather fan and a silk scarf.

Ximen Xiayu’s eyes were fixed, and his heart could not help breathing a cool breath! He was not afraid of Ximen Qiuye, the wine bag, but of the blue-robed young man beside him.

That was one of the five pro-disciples of Supreme Tao Master. Among the ten almighty immortals in the Holy-Fist Palace, the most sophisticated one, with a Taoist monastic name of “Divine Calculation Esteemed”.

At this time, the Divine Calculation Esteemed flicked the feather fan and smiled slightly. “I came just for the Phoenix Cloth Fairy. But somehow, my Heaven’s Tao Body is now resonating with something that is coming you. Can Xiayu brother explain to me?”
