Demon's Diary Chapter 990: Return

Chapter 990: Return

Although the figure was motionless, his eyes did not blink while watching the fight. After a while, he looked at the star sandstone in the pile of rocks. The figure slowly became solid. This person was actually Liu Ming.

“It’s the people from Big Dipper Pavilion and Sky Palace… and the star sandstone. Speaking of which, the star river sand is refined from this material. If such a big piece is refined, I should be able to get 3 bags of star river sand…”

As Liu Ming thought so, his figure became looming again.

In the battle, the young man surnamed Xu fought 3 opponents on his own. Although he still got the upper hand, he was entangled by the 3 opponents.

The young man surnamed Xu glanced around with an anxious look, then he spat blood at the 2 hooks in his hand.

The 2 hooks released starlight. They flew out and turned into 2 transparent jellyfish phantasms.

As the young man surnamed Xu launched a few symbols, the 2 jellyfishes spun around the 3 cultivators of the Sky Palace and released waterfall-like starlight to trap the Sky Palace’s cultivators.

“Haha, Brother Yao, I will accept this star sandstone…” The young man surnamed Xu laughed and flew toward the pile of rocks with lightning speed.

“Quick, stop him!” The Sky Palace middle-aged man’s voice came from the starlight.

The other 3 cultivators at Sky Palace were also anxious when they heard the words. They wanted to stop the young man surnamed Xu, but Yin Se and the other 2 naturally would not let them do so. They had already accelerated their offensive.

After a few ups and downs, the young man surnamed Xu appeared above the pile of rocks. He launched a starlight and was about to collect the star sandstone below.

Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

With an ear-piercing screech, a yellow ball suddenly appeared in the distance. It charged toward the young man surnamed Xu like a meteor.

Before the yellow ball hit the young man surnamed Xu, an overwhelming pressure had already affected him. A yellow lights swept toward him immediately.

The young man surnamed Xu was greatly shocked. He couldn’t care about collecting star sand, and he stomped and soared into the air, barely dodging the yellow light.

A fierce wind sent him far away.

“Who is it?” the young man surnamed Xu shouted fiercely.

The yellow ball emitted a ray of light and wrapped the star sandstone, then it flashed and flew far away.

A series of changes happened in the blink of an eye, stunning everyone of the Big Dipper Pavilion and the Sky Palace. They only reacted when the yellow light went far away.

“Chase!”

The young man surnamed Xu looked extremely ugly. He recalled the 2 hooks and used them to carry himself.

Yin Se and the other 2 also stopped attacking immediately. They hurriedly followed the young man surnamed Xu.

“We chase too!” The 6 cultivators of Sky Palace moved a little slower, but after they reacted, they hurriedly chased after them.

In the yellow escape light, Liu Ming looked back at the pursuers, frowning slightly.

Although Mountain River Pearl’s attack power was powerful enough to easily crush ordinary Real Pellet State cultivators, its flying speed was not very fast.

He pondered for a while, then he retrieved the Mountain River Pearl and used the Bitter Wheel Sword to continue flying. His speed was several times faster.

The young man surnamed Xu was the closest. When he saw the figure cast a sword light, he was astounded.

“Sword cultivator!”

Among all kinds of cultivators, the sword cultivator’s sword controlling technique was recognized as the fastest in terms of flying speed. The young man surnamed Xu’s eyes flashed coldly. He spat a thin black light at the figure in front.

Unexpectedly, the purple sword light blurred and transformed into 4 sword lights, dashing away in different directions.

“Doppelganger!”

The young man surnamed Xu was shocked. He released Divine Thought immediately, but after scanning it, he found that the 4 escape lights had almost the same aura. He couldn’t tell which one was real.

After a moment of hesitation, the 4 sword lights disappeared into the distant horizon.

After a few seconds, the rest of the cultivators had caught up and stopped beside the young man surnamed Xu.

“Turns out our fight benefited the third party. Brother Xu, your wishful thinking has failed this time.” The Sky Palace middle-aged man glanced forward, then he looked at the young man surnamed Xu and said sarcastically.

The young man surnamed Xu turned around with anger in his eyes.

The middle-aged man was not afraid. Although the 6 of them were at a disadvantage against the Big Dipper Pavilion, they still had the ability to protect themselves from dying.

“Brother Xu, if you still want to fight, I’ll take it, otherwise don’t waste our time. Let’s go!” The middle-aged man snorted and flew away in a white escape light. The 5 of the Sky Palace hurriedly followed him.

“Let’s go too!” The young man surnamed Xu looked a little unsightly. After a long while, he spoke slowly.

The other 3 looked at each other and nodded.

Thousands of miles away, Liu Ming looked at the star sandstone in his hand with joy, and he kept it away after taking a few glances.

With a burst of crackling sound, a purple lightning appeared on the Bitter Wheel Sword. Its speed was increased again.

…

Several months pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye. According to past experiences, there was not much time left until the end of the trip to the ruins.

The cultivators of the major forces, who were madly searching for treasures in the ruins, began to rush to their respective agreed gathering places, waiting for the sect to open the teleportation array that connected the 2 realms.

On the edge of a desolate desert, this was where the Taiqing Sect’s tunnel opens.

At this time, Qiu Longzi, Luo Tiancheng. Ouyang Sisters, Long Yanfei, and 2 other Taiqing Sect disciples were gathered here.

There was less than a day left until the end of the trip to the ruins.

At this moment, everyone looked quite solemn.

It was no wonder. There were 22 people who entered the upper realm ruins. In addition to the 3 disciples of other families who had not returned so far and Jin Tianci who had been teleported out, there should also be 18 people, but now there were only 7 people left. The casualties were really heavy.

“Time is running out. It seems that we are the only people who survived.” Luo Tiancheng shook his head and said lightly.

Qiu Longzi’s face was neither sad nor happy, quietly looking into the distance.

Hearing the words, the Ouyang Sisters looked at each other.

“When we asked Brother Liu to protect us, I didn’t expect that we would be fine, but Brother Liu…” Quyang Qin smiled wryly and talked to Ouyang Qian with voice transmission.

“The world is impermanent. The upper realm ruins is a place full of dangers. It is not surprising for anyone to die here.” Ouyang Qian seemed to be much calmer.

Under a sand dune not far from the 2 women, Long Yanfei, dressed in purple clothes, sat cross-legged on the ground alone. Her breathing was a little disordered. It seemed that her injury had not yet healed.

At this moment, Qiu Longzi, who had been quietly looking into the distance, suddenly looked at somewhere.

In the distant sky, a purple light spot suddenly appeared.

As the whistling sound got closer and closer, the purple light spot turned into a purple sword light. It was flying toward them with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Qiu Longzi didn’t move, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

When the other people heard the sound, they looked over with different expressions.

After 3 seconds, the sword light came close. The light faded. A young man in a green robe appeared with a smile.

If he wasn’t Liu Ming, who would he be?

“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu!”

“Brother Liu!”

When they saw Liu Ming, the 7 people present were shocked.

Speaking of which, not long after entering the upper realm ruins, Liu Ming left the team and completely disappeared.

Although his strength was extremely strong and he had been creating miracles after entering Taiqing Sect, as time pa.s.sed, even Qiu Longzi, who had always been optimistic about him, thought he had fallen somewhere in the ruins.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Qiu, Senior Sister Apprentice Long, long time no see.” Liu Ming smiled lightly, clasped his fist and looked around.

“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu, I didn’t expect you to be alive. In the past 6 months, where have you been?” Qiu Longzi strode up to Liu Ming, patted Liu Ming’s shoulder heavily, and said with a laugh.

The Ouyang Sisters and Long Yanfei who were familiar with Liu Ming also came over with joy in their eyes, but they also looked at him with curiosity.

Luo Tiancheng and 2 other Taiqing Sect’s disciples stood aside, looking up and down Liu Ming without saying anything.

“This is a long story. When Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin and I got the treasure that the Nature Work Sect needed, we were ambushed by a bunch of beastkin cultivators… After that, I was delayed for too long, so I couldn’t find you all and had to wander around alone…” Liu Ming was still a little touched after seeing a few people who really cared about him. He briefly talked about his encounters in the past 6 months, but he intentionally hid some details.

“Okay, no matter what, it’s good that you can come back alive!” Qiu Longzi said with a sigh after listening to Liu Ming’s narration.

They were filled with emotion after hearing that.

Since entering the upper realm ruins, they had experienced too many dangers and deaths. They had also witnessed many other cultivators died in the blink of an eye.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Qiu, are these the only fellows who survive? Could it be that everyone else has already…” Liu Ming looked around and said with a frown.
