The Devilish Immortal Chapter 243 - The Temporary End

Chapter 243 The Temporary End

More than ten days later, Lyu Liang and his fellows resumed their vigor and vitality. During the same period, shocking news began to circulate.

On the third day after Lyu Liang’s return, they heard breaking news from the Devil Realm. With a heavy heart, Tianluo Clan completely suppressed the Huoxiao and Muxiao Clans. Meanwhile, they declared the end of the war and the complete defeat of the Devil Clan and accepted all the conditions put forward by the Heavenly Alliance.

Out of the five clans that had caused disputes in the Devil Realm, the leading Anye Clan was completely annihilated. The h.e.l.l Fire Clan existed in name only, for its core members had been slaughtered by an unknown force. Since most of their Guardians had been killed by Lyu Liang, the Huoxiao Clan was also unable to get up after this fall. Amid the suppression of the Tianluo Clan, they certainly dared not stir up any trouble. As for the Dawn Breaking Clan, its head, Xiao Chenyun, was killed by Tianluo Xian, while the guardians of the family rebelled directly to help him. Therefore, anyone who had intended to struggle for a while was now as silent as a winter cicada.

This way, Tianluo Clan, who had never appeared in the Devil Realm before, had become the most important clan in the Devil Realm.

Originally, there had been ten lords in the Devil Realm. However, after the death of several members of the Dark Night Family, the ten lords were also severely damaged by the Tianluo Clan and were now serving as their Guardians.

Upon hearing these unexpected good news, the Immortal Allies had some doubts. However, soon, several of their leaders came out of the Tianluo Clan, bringing the news of the complete surrender of the devil and the definite end of the war. While they celebrated, the cultivators of the other clans in the Chaotic World were also shocked by this capricious world.

It was unbelievable that the five clans of the Devil Realm, which had been swaggering before others, had been severely mauled overnight. However, only some people with flexible minds had guessed that this was related to Lyu Liang and his fellows, who had previously sneaked secretly into the Devil Realm.

The final treatment of the five clans was also interesting.

The Tianluo Clan was exempted from punishment this time because of their success in stopping the war and helping get some insider information. In addition, the core members of the remaining four clans would be handled according to the previous plan and put into prison for thousands of years as long as they were still alive.

…

When Lyu Liang and his fellows arrived at the residence of the Tianluo Clan, the patriarch, Tianluo Linri, admitted the clan’s error and asked for punishment upon greeting them.

The old man, who was full of kindness and guilt, apologized to Lyu Liang for so long that Lyu Liang could hardly tell that he was the patriarch of the Tianluo Clan, who had persecuted the Xuanli Clan.

“Senior, don’t talk Iike that, for we all know the Tianluo Clan contributed significantly to ending the war. However, thousands of years ago, the Tianluo Clan united with the Anye Clan to persecute the Xuanli Clan. I hope you can tell us the real reason why.” Upon seeing how polite the Tianluo Clan was to them, Lyu Liang realized that he couldn’t always stick to taking revenge, let alone when there were other reasons for this.

“Alas! I’m ashamed of that. Back then, the Tianluo Clan was not compet.i.tive and could not get a ranking in the magic world. However, few people knew that Xuanli Tianlie was my sworn brother! It was not until Brother Xuanli led his men into Yishui Clan that I learned about all the plots. Therefore, I secretly informed the Feng family, hoping that they could help my brother escape from the Ghost Realm through their Directive Incantation. Then, I volunteered to help the Anye Clan exterminate the Xuanli members who remained in the Devil Realm. In fact, my clan deceived others and managed to help the vast majority of the Xuanli Clan escape. Eventually, as some sort of red herring, I fabricated the news that my clan had basically exterminated the Xuanli Clan.” Upon hearing this news, Lyu Liang was stunned. He had not expected that the old man in front of him would be a sworn brother of Ancestor Xuanli Tianlie!

I can’t prove what I said, but if you get the opportunity to enter the Ghost Realm someday, my brother will tell you all about it. In addition, if you meet a member of the Feng family, you can send a message to the Ghost Realm. Tell them that as long as the Xuanli Clan is willing to come back, the Tianluo Clan will transfer the t.i.tle of the first family of the Devil Realm voluntarily to them. After all, it should have been theirs!” Tianluo Linri was so resolute that even Xuanli Feiwu in the Virtual Land was touched by his words and kept nodding in agreement.

Since the result had basically dispelled Lyu Liang’s suspicions and worries, he talked with the patriarch for a while before he was ready to leave.

Lyu Liang also had an idea, as Feng Xiu was now serving in the Immortal Allied Forces. If he was willing to send a message back, perhaps the Xuanli Clan would be able to return to their native land.

When Lyu Liang and his companions were about to leave, Tianluo Linri took out a golden box and handed it to Lyu Liang. The old man said softly, “I have learned some divination and prediction skills based on human appearance. Your body seems to be able to accommodate and utilize all five elements, and you will soon reach the level of Everlasting Const.i.tution. However, for now, you still lack an artifact named Illusory Fire. This box contains a wisp of Illusory Fire that I accidentally got when I was young. It’s useless to me now. It would be better if you accepted it as a form of compensation for the Xuanli Clan.”

Although Lyu Liang felt that this gift was too valuable to accept, it would be ungracious to refuse such kindness. Finally, when Tianluo Linri was about to cry and beg him, Lyu Liang accepted the gift and thanked the old patriarch very much.

After this visit, Lyu Liang and his companions had a much better impression of the Tianluo Clan. Even if the Xuanli Clan did not come back later, it seemed a good choice to keep the Tianluo Clan the No.1 clan in the Devil Realm.

A moment later, when Lyu Liang and his fellows left, Zhang San could not help but approach and say, “Father, I almost died that year before getting the Illusory Fire. Even if you hadn’t given it to Lyu Liang, they wouldn’t have doubted us anymore. To some extent, what we told him was the truth. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about him questioning us in the future.”

“Ha ha, the Illusory Fire is precious indeed, but it is useless to us. Now that he is badly in need of the fire, such a gift could not have been more timely. That boy has been practicing the Holy Soul Order, and his whole body was transformed into the Divine Body. With the help of the Tianxuan Holy Rattan, he is likely to reach the level of Five-Element Everlasting Const.i.tution in the future, which includes no substantial benefits for him. Now that we have given him the Illusory Fire, he will not only stop doubting us, but he will probably thank us,” Tianluo Linri, who was a canny careerist, said as he combed his beard.

Suddenly, Tianluo Xing also came out and said, “We are willing to exchange the Illusory Fire for the trust of Lyu Liang’s forces, which will benefit us. Although we won’t get this benefit right away, once it comes, it certainly will be much more valuable than the artifact.”

As Tianluo Linri nodded, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. “Alright.” He lowered his voice and said seriously, “This matter is now over. Xing, it’s time for you to prepare for the core of the organization with the Divine Envoy Milord. The Tianji Astrolabe was fathomless, and the future of the Tianluo Clan may depend entirely on you. Xian, from now on, you and your third brother should make every effort to hunt down the women and children of the Anye Clan who fled. If you see a little girl around three or four years old, take her back and kill the rest of the Anye Clan.”

After Tianluo Xing and Tianluo Xian departed to follow these orders, leaving Tianluo Linri alone, a yellowing blank parchment roll appeared in his hand and a frightening light flashed in his eyes. “What a pity,” Tianluo Linri muttered to himself in a sinister tone, “We are only a step away from catching that little girl. It’s not too late to start, and she won’t escape this time. Spiritual Body, how long will you keep me waiting?”

…

On the other side, Lyu Liang and his fellows were too happy to calm down even after they returned to the Heavenly Devil Pavilion.

A war that had lasted a long time had finally come to an end, and the outcome was relatively satisfactory.

A few days later, Lyu Liang met Feng Xiu in the united army and told him what Tianluo Linri had said, hoping that Feng Xiu could help pa.s.s on the message to Xuanli Tianlie and his clansmen after Feng Xiu returned to the Ghost Realm.

In addition, Lyu Liang was worried about another matter. The entryway to the Nether Big World was in the Sunset Kingdom of the Ghost Realm, so they still needed Feng Xiu’s help. However, Lyu Liang and Feng Xiu were not very familiar with each other, so it might be impolite for him to ask for this suddenly. It would be better to please Zhang San’s father and make a breakthrough.

However, it was not as difficult as he thought. When Lyu Liang finished his account, Feng Xiu nodded and gave Lyu Liang a suggestion, as if he could read Lyu Liang’s mind. “In fact, you can go to the residence of the Xuanli Clan in the Ghost Realm to explain this. Three days ago, I received a message from Ancestor Feng Li, saying that you would definitely not go to the Nether Big World now, but you could go meet him at the same place in the Sword Character Immortal Palace when you are ready to go. With his help, the journey to the Ghost Realm will be a piece of cake.”

As he faced this thoughtful friend, Lyu Liang could do nothing but thank Senior Feng Li for his foresight and the Feng family for its kindness.

When the smoke of war dissipated and peace was restored in the Chaotic World, deciding when to go to the Nether Big World became the next problem of Lyu Liang and his fellows.

“What I need now is a one-hundred-year closed door meditation. All those desperate struggles are reminding me that my strength is insufficient. I may rank first in the Eternal Immortal cla.s.s, but it will be difficult for me to survive in the Nether Big World, where the rules do not restrict or weaken anyone’s cultivation, not even the cultivation of the Supreme Masters.” Lyu Liang’s companions nodded in agreement.

Finally, all the people who wanted to go to the Nether Big World agreed to set off in a hundred years.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Allies had already discovered the characteristics of the Evil Blood Palace and made it their new headquarters after the war. This way, even if they were unable to go up to the Heaven Realm, they could continue to cultivate here.

After telling the founding father of Sword Character about his plan, Lyu Liang determined the goal of one-hundred-year cultivation in the Evil Blood Palace. Lyu Liang would not be a lonely traveler in a hundred years, as most of his companions, including Zhu Yu, had made the same choice.

Knowing that Nie Qingyun liked to follow him, Lyu Liang was not surprised by Nie Qingyun’s insistence on going with him.

However, when Zhu Yan insisted on following him, Lyu Liang felt happy and worried at the same time. Zhu Yan was the Saint Emperor of the Demon Clan and his safety had to be guaranteed. Otherwise, Lyu Liang would dare not face the whole Demon Clan. Fortunately, Lyu Liang was confident in Zhu Yan’s cultivation and intelligence, which would help him avoid accidents. As for the Spirit of the Divine Clan, Lyu Liang didn’t ask more about it, for he would know when the time came.

After a brief discussion, Brother and Sister Liu decided to go to the Realm of G.o.ddess Nyu Wa and come back after a hundred years, when they would start the journey to the Nether Big World with Lyu Liang.

Huangfu Gang had disappeared before Lyu Liang returned to the Heavenly Devil Pavilion, so they didn’t know whether he would like to go to the Nether Big World.

Fatty had intended to stay at the Evil Blood Palace, but the old Fierce Chaotic Emperor succeeded in persuading him. Fatty left a message for his friends before leaving with his father, saying, “Big brother, when I come back in a hundred years, I may match your strength.”

A few days later, Lyu Liang and his fellows separated in front of the Evil Blood Palace, marking the beginning of the one-hundred-year agreement.

Upon stepping into the special cultivation zone prepared for him by the Immortal Allies and feeling his cultivation get rid of the world’s rule, Lyu Liang looked up at the sky and shouted loudly, “Master, I swear I will help you out when I arrive in the Nether Big World!”
