BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119 Heavy Debt of Gratitude
Chapter 119 Heavy Debt of Gratitude
Central Heaven District was an existence above all the other four districts in the Mortal Realm. There were fifteen sects in it, and each of the sects had at least one cultivator that was beyond the Almighty Immortal level. But they had vows between each other; they would not interfere with the fighting between the outside sects, and they could not attack each other at will.
The fifteen sects had their different status, and they were divided into three levels, according to their strengths. There were three sects in the first level. Million Buddhist Sect, Ru Yi Sect, and Virtual Valley. It was said that they existed beyond the Tao Master.
There were seven in the second group. Both the Massive Funeral Hall and the Holy-Fist Palace were in that group. Their strength was relatively even, and there were two Tao Masters in each one.
There were five in the third group, and they also had a Tao Master, but they were not as strong as the previous two groups.
Lyu Liang followed Shui Ye, and in a month, they passed through two transmission arrays and entered the compound of Massive Funeral Hall.
Looking at this master who was in the top sect of the Mortal Realm, Lyu Liang was stunned for a while, and at the same time, he sighed from the bottom of his heart. “No wonder Massive Funeral Hall is in a mess, it looks more like a funeral post.”
There were strange stones everywhere, and several broken temples at different heights, were among the stones. Wildfire flickered from time to time, nearby. If he were not with Shui Ye, Lyu Liang would have doubts if he had come to the right place, Ghost Realm.
“Oh, is it that incredible?” Shui Ye seemed to be able to read Lyu Liang’s mind and asked with a grin.
“What?” “It is beyond my expectation, but there must be some hidden meaning in having such designs and arrangement.” Lyu Liang could not believe that such a powerful sect in Central Heaven District was located in this run-down place.
Shui Ye nodded and said gently. “Yes, the place we are now at, is just a Sect-Protection Formation on the outside of the sect. This is called ‘Ghost Chaos formation’, which is one of the eighteen, ancient bizarre formations. “You are fortunate to be with me. Otherwise, you will be devoured by an evil ghost at the Almighty Immortal level, the moment you stepped in.”
“He is right, even if I help you to come in and if I accidentally touch the restriction formation, I guess the only thing to do is to escape.” Black agreed with Shui Ye’s words.
Lyu Liang’s heart sank, and he had a new understanding of the internal information of the Holy-Fist Palace, from what the blue fog shadow had given him. At that time, there were dozens of red spots highlighted in it. It seems that it was a similar restriction formation. If he went there, he had to avoid those places.
After another thirty minutes, Shui Ye stopped in front of a massive stone that was at a height of nearly two people. At the same time, he waved his hand at Lyu Liang and a grey shield fell on him.
“Touch the boulder and come in.” Shui Ye said this while touching the stone with his hand, then he disappeared. Lyu Liang naturally followed and caught up with him.
Lights flashed and Lyu Liang saw a spectacular landscape that was completely different from the dilapidated scene before.
There was a colorful barrier with no boundaries. Behind it were several magnificent halls, and cultivators in uniform blue costumes, were flying in the sky.
Lyu Liang was still engrossed in viewing this transformation, when a peal of familiar laughter came from his side. “Haha, should I call you Lyu Liang, or should I call you Dumb?” “In any case, I apologize for my moves in the past. The Purple Electrical Gold that Shui Ye brought you should serve as an apology first!”
Lyu Liang hurriedly turned around and saw a stubby man, who was laughing and approaching him, with a bow.
“Chong fat...!” Lyu Liang instantly remembered Fatty Zhong from the Zi Tong Sect. He was the same person who conspired with Qi Yuantian and Ji Chang to kill him. “How could he be here?” “Wait, it sounds like he knows Shui Ye?” “Could it be..?”
When Lyu Liang was still pondering over this, Fatty Zhong had already reached the front and made another bow. “Taoism peer Lyu, back in the Zi Tong Sect, I was there to monitor the movement of the Ghostly-Fire Twelve Lords. I had to find an opportunity to gain their trust in order to find out the purpose of the Ghostly Fire Palace in the Pangu Origin world and their staff distribution.” “However, I inadvertently caused trouble for you then. I am sorry about that!”
Shui Ye also said with a smile, “Zhong Wuming, who is my Junior Brother, is also a member of the Four dead Central Heaven. We usually call him Wuming.” “He was the one who asked me to bring you the Mysterious Meteorite Wood.”
Lyu Liang was stunned, and looking at the smiling Fatty Zhong, he also made a deep bow. “Senior Zhong, you are too serious. The situation on the day was excusable, and I didn’t get hurt.” “I have completely refined that box of Mysterious Meteorite Wood. It helped me to further expand my body of the Five Elements.” “In this way, the senior has done me a great favor!”
Seeing Lyu Liang’s humble attitude, Fatty Zhong smiled first. He dragged him by the hand and flew towards the barrier, while muttering, “Go, go, before the Master sees you, let’s have a small drink and chat. Don’t call me senior, I don’t like it.” “You can either call me Wuming or Fatty Zhong.”
Lyu Liang held no grudges against Fatty Zhong. Instead, he was full of gratitude. Since the other party was sincere and enthusiastic, Lyu Liang accepted and followed him.
Looking at the two people flying off, Shui Ye smiled and shook his head, and then he flew away in another direction.
Lyu Liang followed Fatty Zhong into a cave residence, and as soon as he entered, he saw a smiling, gray-robed old man, sitting on the side of a square table. There were several side dishes and a wine jug on the table. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and waved his hand. “Finally, I get to see the real person. Zhong, you will not blame me for coming without asking you first, right?”
Fatty Zhong was stunned at first, then he quickly ran over and smiled, “Master, what are you talking about? I just wanted to apologize to Taoism peer Lyu first.” “Hehehe...” he scratched his head in embarrassment after he finished talking.
Lyu Liang was shocked, the Master of Shui Ye and Fatty Zhong must be an existence at the Tao Master level! At that moment, he hurriedly made a deep bow and said clearly, “Senior, I am Lyu Liang, it’s my pleasure to meet you!” “I will never be able to repay the debt of gratitude from your sect. Thank you for all the help given. In the future, I will do anything for you that is morally correct, and I will never forget it !”
The old man nodded, smiled and pointed to the chair. “Well, I am Hell-heaven Tao Master and also a master of Massive Funeral Hall. I have been looking forward to meet you.” “I know you are going to have it out with Holy-Fist Palace, so let me help you a little.”
Lyu Liang did not have time to be overjoyed. On his way, he had met several nobles, but none of them had helped him repeatedly, like the people from Massive Funeral Hall. They were the only ones. Even if people had attempted, Lyu Liang was fine with it. After all, they had saved his life more than three times already.
The aura of the old man was erratic, but Lyu Liang couldn’t see it anyway. Fatty Zhong’s cultivation was at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. However, these two people had no demeanor like that of a senior. They seemed just like ordinary people, exchanged cups with Lyu Liang and drank wine.
During the meal, the elderly took a black Talisman from his sleeve and gave it to Lyu Liang. Although its use was unknown, basing on the aura emitted from it, Lyu Liang concluded that this Talisman was above the Xuan Immortal level.
“This is an ancient Teleportation Talisman, and its function is teleportation and escape, and it can bypass the Bounded Domain. The distance, however, should be able to transport you to the Demon Realm in an instant. That should not be a big problem.” The elderly’s words were neither too fast nor slow, and it seemed that he treated this Talisman like any ordinary Talisman.
Lyu Liang however, was shocked, and getting up directly, he hurriedly refused. “Senior!” “Such a valuable Talisman can be made into a guarding treasure for the sect!” “I have already received a lot of help from the sect. What did I do to receive such a valuable treasure!”
The elderly waved his hand and said gently, “Be it is for guarding the sect or treasures, or Talisman, aren’t they all for people’s use?” “You said that we have helped you many times, of course, I don’t want you to encounter any dangers.” “Holy-Fist Palace is a dangerous place to go to. Although you seemed to be confident, it is always better to have another mean of escape. Better be safe than sorry.” “Take it. If you die this time, then our previous help rendered would be in vain!”
Lyu Liang looked at the smiling elderly and suddenly fell to the ground and made a few kowtows. He took the black Talisman and kept it carefully kept in his sleeve. His lips trembled slightly, but he could not say anything.
“I never make give something for nothing, of course, you will have to repay me for my help.” “In the future, when you become a powerful figure, please look after Massive Funeral Hall, that will be considered as repaying the kindness!” Subsequently, the elderly raised his hand, and an invisible Qi lifted Lyu Liang, “Because of some restrictions, the Massive Funeral Hall can’t give you obvious help. It will break the rules of the Central Heaven District. However, there are still some people who will do their best to help you.” “After you finish eating, don’t rush. Someone has been waiting for you for a long time, and you have probably guessed who the person is.”
...
After an hour, the banquet was over. Under the guidance of Fatty Zhong, Lyu Liang came to a small stone house and whispered, “Go in yourself, and when you are ready, you can leave on your own.” “In short, be careful, there is a chance that we will go back to Zi Tong Sect together.”
Lyu Liang and Fatty Zhong bade each other farewell and he was about to knock on the door, when the door suddenly opened, and the surprised face of Ximen Xia Yu was revealed.
Compared to before, the aura of Ximen Xiayu was indeed a lot weaker, and he was now at the Late-stage of Gold Core. He looked much older, and he wore a blue costume that was the same as the disciples from the Massive Funeral Hall. He was no longer the prestigious second lord of the Xi Men clan. The only thing that he had that was better than before was that his attitude was more relaxed. It was something he did not have before.
The expression of Ximen Xiayu, from the initial surprise, suddenly turned into a kind of guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but could not make a sound and he could only gradually lower his head and seemed very uneasy.
Lyu Liang walked up a few steps, patted the shoulders of Ximen Xiayu with both hands, and solemnly said, “Brother Xiayu, thank you!” “That promise, I will never forget!”
Ximen Xiayu suddenly looked up. There was a surprised look on his face and he said hurriedly, “Taoism peer Lyu, come in, please, please!”
After the guest and host were seated, the two men talked about their experiences during these thousand years. On the day when Ximen Xiayu was exposed, he was directly subdued by Divine Calculation Esteemed. The bastard Ximen Qiuye personally destroyed his brother’s Qi Meridian and finally imprisoned him in the forbidden place of Ximen clan, guarded by the people of Holy-Fist Palace.
Later, Ximen Xiayu was rescued by the people from the Massive Funeral Hall, and he became an ordinary disciple in the sect. He also knew that Lyu Liang would come here, and he was anticipating him, with both an excited, yet embarassed feeling.
Lyu Liang comforted him with a few words before he let him completely loosen the knot in his heart. When he learned that Lyu Liang would be going immediately to Holy-Fist Palace to save people, Ximen Xiayu blinked. “Brother Lyu, I know that your current strength is unfathomable, but Holy-Fist Palace is full of powerful people, you have to be cautious.” “I have a few treasures here, just for you, you must not refuse!”
After that, Ximen Xiayu took out a storage bag, and with a wave of his hand, a few items with the aura of immortal standard appeared in the house.
“This is an immortal standard cave residence, which can accommodate ten creatures and has a function to hide any aura”. “These are five Thunderballs, each one is for a one-time use, which can stimulate an Immortal Thunder. Even a Peak of Almighty Immortal has to defend himself against its power, with care.” “Finally, this is an Immortal Hiding Talisman. In an hour, as long as you don’t fight with people, your aura and body shape will be hidden.” Ximen Xiayu showed the use of all the items to Lyu Liang.
Looking at his anticipatory look, Lyu Liang did not hesitate and kept everything. He then made a bow, “Thank you for the gifts, brother Xiayu. Now I have a higher chance to save my Taoist companion and escape safely.” “That’s all. I shall not delay any longer. This time, if conditions permit, I will rescue your younger brother too!”
Looking at Lyu Liang’s back walking out of the house, Ximen Xiayu suddenly kneeled, with his head on the ground, his body trembling and he didn’t want to get up for a long time.
