The Devilish Immortal Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Sealed in Ice for Ten Thousand Years

Now that he had successfully survived the ordeal, there was no need for Lyu Liang to stay at this place. Even though it had been nearly a thousand years, Shangguan Ying’s safety was still a thorn in his heart. He wished he could be at the Ximen family’s house now and find out what had happened to his Taoist couple.

Without any delay, Lyu Liang, with the three small animals, quickly entered the s.p.a.ce tunnel reserved by Tai Su Ancestor Lord, and returned to Northern Heaven District.

After going out of the Primitive Sword Grave, Lyu Liang thought for a moment, then flew towards the market place. His purpose was clear. He went to Western Heaven District again through the teleportation formation, and then headed straight to the location of the Ximen family.

Before that, Lyu Liang planned to buy a magic treasure like the Thousand Silk Mask that could change his appearance. After all, he was already a celebrity in Western Heaven District, especially after his battle with his super-rival, Kunlun Sect, who harbored endless hatred for him. It was always good to be careful.

Lyu Liang went to Worry-Free Mansion. He wore a big hat to disguise his appearance. With Black’s boundary, he did not encounter any trouble along the way.

As soon as he entered the doorsill of Worry-Free Mansion, before Lyu Liang could even look around to inspect the surroundings, a gust of wind blew through and a broad palm grasped his arm.

Lyu Liang was shocked that his whereabouts had been revealed and thought his enemies had found him. Just as he was about to break free, he heard a familiar voice saying, “Well, Lord Jin, you’re here finally. Although this ten thousand year old ganoderma lucidum is not a rare commodity, it is still very popular. It doesn’t matter if you are three days late. I’m trying my best to hang on to the last one!”

Then, in the eyes of outsiders, a young waiter rushed upstairs hurriedly, with Lyu Liang. No one suspected anything. It seemed that this frequent visitor of Worry-Free Mansion had booked ahead, but the guest did not come on time. This situation was very common and did not attract much attention.

They went to the fourth floor again. After pulling Lyu Liang in, the waiter closed the door behind him, and at the same time set up a restriction formation.

“Lyu Liang greets great senior Shui Ye!” Lyu Liang was always gracious to those who had helped him.

The waiter was Shui Ye from Ma.s.s Funeral Hall in Central Heaven District. Shui Ye greeted Lyu Liang with a smile. After a while, he said softly, “You’re not dead, you’ve been promoted during this thousand years. Now you are a fairy immortal. But you should be much stronger than others at the early stage of Fairy Immortal. What an interesting aura!”

Then Shui Ye smiled broadly and asked, “You’re here for the purpose of going to Western Heaven District to find out about your couple, that is, Phoenix Cloth Fairy?”

Lyu Liang was stunned and immediately clasped his hands, and said, “That’s true! Now that your senior knows my purpose, do you have any relevant information?”

Suddenly there was a voice outside the house, “Sir Jin, I’m sorry. I’ve just received people from the Immeasurable Sect. I’m sorry I’m late!”

Lyu Liang thought that the voice sounded familiar, but he didn’t know who it was. Shui Ye reverted to his role of a waiter, and responded respectfully, “Manager, Lord Jin has just arrived!” After that, he removed the restriction formation and opened the door.

When he saw the figure coming in, Lyu Liang suddenly realized who it was and clasped his hands, “Manager Luo! How are you?”

The visitor was Luo Yan, who was in charge of the Northern Heaven Branch of Worry-Free Mansion. At this time, his cultivation level was the middle stage of Void Return.

Seeing Lyu Liang being so respectful, Luo Yan felt a little embarra.s.sed and bowed deeply, “Taoism peer Lyu has survived the ordeal and become a fairy immortal now. I am not worthy of this reverence, having only the cultivation of middle stage of Void Return!”

Lyu Liang hurried to lift Luo Yan up and solemnly said, “Does a higher cultivation level matter? Anyone who has helped Lyu Liang, deserves my sincere wors.h.i.+p! Manager Luo need not adhere rigidly to courtesy; we can communicate on a equal relations.h.i.+p!”

“Little Luo, you should know the personality of Lyu Liang. Just follow what he says” Afterwards, Shui Ye looked at Lyu Liang again, “By the way, Worry-Free Mansion is actually the stronghold of my Ma.s.s Funeral Hall in the four major regions of the realm. On ordinary days, in addition to routine business practices, it is also responsible for providing us with a variety of information.”

Only then did Lyu Liang have a new understanding about Worry-Free Mansion. And he was not surprised when Shui Ye appeared.

Luo Yan then took out a mask from his chest pocket and handed it to Lyu Liang, “Taoism peer Lyu, this is an immortal standard magic treasure, the ‘Thousand Face Mask’. If you integrate it into your soul, you can change your appearance at will. Even if you fight with others, as long as you maintain it with enough Primordial Qi, your original appearance will not be exposed. But there are two limitations: one is that you can only change your appearance twice in a day; the second is that it must be a person you have seen before!”

Lyu Liang was really surprised and amazed. At the same time, he was greatly moved by the support given by Ma.s.s Funeral Hall. He bowed deeply to the two people in front of him and said, “Before I fought directly with the Kunlun Sect, senior Shui Ye has helped me a lot. Now you provide what I needed urgently, and I really don’t know how to repay it!”

Shui Ye laughed softly, “I was instructed by my master to do it, in order to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p between my Ma.s.s Funeral Hall and you. You don’t have to worry about it now, and don’t let it become a burden. We are not asking you for anything in return.”

Lyu Liang took the Thousand Face Mask reverently. In his heart, he sighed heavily,” This should be considered an upgraded version of the Thousand Silk Mask?” Even if one was fighting, one’s original appearance will not be exposed. It’s really very useful! In this way, he could swagger into Western Heaven District!

Seeing Lyu Liang’s excitement, Shui Ye and Luo Yan looked at each other and sighed slightly at the same time. Finally, Shui Ye said, “Luo Yan came to give you the Thousand Face Mask. And I have been waiting for you here for more than 800 years. My purpose is to tell you about the upheaval in the Ximen family and the whereabouts of Phoenix Cloth Fairy.”

Lyu Liang heard their sighs. When he heard their words, his heart tensed as a bad sense of premonition loomed in his heart. He revealed a solemn appearance and said in a low voice, “In that case, please let me know the details. Rest a.s.sured, I won’t be as reckless as I was before.”

Looking into Lyu Liang’s firm eyes, Shui Ye nodded and said softly, “I will make it short. Originally, Ximen Xiayu had gone out of Kunlun Sect, but on the way, he met Ximen Qiuye and Divine Calculation Esteemed, at the Holy-Fist Palace. It was the appearance of this Divine Calculation Esteemed, that led to the failure of Ximen Xiayu’s plan to rescue Phoenix Cloth Fairy.”

“Failed? How, how could that be! What happened? Divine Calculation Esteemed? Who is that?” Even though Lyu Liang seemed quite steady, when he heard the news, he couldn’t help bursting out with questions.

“Don’t worry. The safety of Phoenix Cloth Fairy is not affected at present, but it is still a difficult situation.” Shui Ye saw Lyu Liang’s expression, sent out a rea.s.suring pill, and then said, “Divine Calculation Esteemed is the most sophisticated person among the ten almighty immortals at the Holy-Fist Palace. It was he who saw through Ximen Xiayu’s plan, like a cicada casting off its skin. At present, the position of patriarch of the Ximen family has been usurped by Ximen Quiye. It is said that Holy-Fist Palace has made great efforts in eliminating any opposition voices. Ximen Xiayu is already a prisoner, but more than 500 years ago, we secretly rescued him to our Ma.s.s Funeral Hall. It is a pity that his meridians were half-damaged at that time, and his cultivation level had also fallen to the Gold Core stage. Although with the help of my master, he later restored the meridians, but his cultivation has to be restarted.”

In Lyu Liang’s heart, he instantly decided to fulfill the commitment to Ximen Xiayu. Although he did not succeed in rescuing Shangguan Ying, he had really made a dedicated effort to rescue her.

“As for Phoenix Cloth Fairy, the moment before she was caught, she activated the Eternal Ice Essence. Now she has turned into an ice sculpture that cannot be broken by Tao Ancestor. She is now stored in Holy-Fist Palace. From then on, she will be in this state for ten thousand year. Until ten thousand years later, unless someone can collect Eternal Heaven Fire, it cannot be melted and restored. Shui Ye’s eyebrows were more furrowed and he seemed to be thinking of Lyu Liang’s response.

Sure enough, Lyu Liang’s whole body gradually emitted a faint devil-immortal Qi after hearing what they said, and it was obvious that he was trying to restrain his emotions. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Holy-Fist Palace! Even if there is a Tao Master in it, I am afraid I will still go! Where can we find Eternal Heaven Fire?”

Shui Ye shook his head and sighed, “Eternal Ice Essence and Eternal Heaven Fire, even in the Heaven Realm, are extremely precious things. As far as I know, apart from the Spiritual Realm, in the Pangu Origin World, it is unheard of, at present. Of course, according to the inside information from Holy-Fist Palace, maybe they can get it from the channel of the Heaven Realm.”

Shui Ye, Luo Yan and Lyu Liang bowed their heads and meditated. Finally, Lyu Liang broke the silence, “Your senior, if I have the ability to pa.s.s through any boundaries and formation freely, I would like to go to Holy-Fist Palace to bring my Taoism couple out now. How sure can I be of this matter?”

Lyu Liang was still a little anxious about Shangguan Ying’s presence in Holy-Fist Palace. Although according to Shui Ye, there were at least another 9,000 years before the Eternal Ice Essence could be broken, he felt uncomfortable that his Taoist couple was in the hands of the enemy.

Now with Black’s a.s.sistance, there were basically no boundaries that he could not cross. As long as he knew where Shangguan Ying was, he would bring her back first.

Shui Ye was not surprised by Lyu Liang’s question at all, and nodded his head, “I know you have no patience to wait for thousands of years. At present, there is really only one way to save your Taoist couple. There is one person who knows the exact location of Phoenix Cloth Fairy and will be able to help you.”

“Who is it?” Where can I find the person?” Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly brightened as he looked at Shui Ye expectantly. At the same time, his mind was full of speculations about the different possibilities.

Shui Ye said softly, “I don’t know who he is. I only know that everything you are going through now, is the same as what he predicted 300 years ago. To tell you the truth, I have only met that person once. I’m sure he won’t hurt you. As for whether you want to take this chance, it’s up to you.”

Lyu Liang did not hesitate at all. He had no reason to doubt anyone whom Shui Ye believed in. Then he clasped his hands and said, “Please tell me where the man is!”

…………………………

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, only Shui Ye and Luo Yan were left in the Worry-Free Mansion. When Lyu Liang heard what he needed to know, he changed his appearance with the Thousand Face Mask and left.

“Lord Shui, is that man really reliable?”

“Little Luo, those who hold the Heavenly Alliance Token, need to be treated with respect. I’ve already reported it to my master, and he didn’t say no. It seems that he has acquiesced to this matter.”

“Heaven, Heaven Alliance Token! Did the milords even notice Taoism peer Lyu?”

“Only a few of us know about it. As for how it will develop in the future, we don’t care. It’s amazing that Lyu Liang is able to get the favors from those who are high and mighty. I have to say that my master’s insight is really very sharp!”
