Chapter 264 - An Unpredictable Situation

Chapter 264 An Unpredictable SituationAlthough the event made by the Icy Peak had not caused a big impact in the Nether Big World, the fuse of that event was revealed, which many big powers became interested in!

Rumors about a barbarian who had a golden Divine Body were spreading around the market places in the Wild Domain.

It was said that he was also an applicant when the Icy Peak held a grand ceremony for recruiting the disciples from the outside world and became qualified with his irresistible force in the end. There was an opportunity when he saw through the evil intention of Ancestor Frost, which then led to the big chaos of the entire Icy Peak later on.

The most important thing was that someone was very sure that the barbarian had finally entered the transmission formation and should be already in the Wild Domain, but no one knew where exactly he was.

Although both its source and the strictness of its content still needed to be scrutinized, it was already the hottest information at the time in the Nether Big World!

That was a world-worshipping power, so all the big powers were willing to recruit the barbarian as a core disciple.

On the fifth day after the Icy Peak event, the Tianshu Pavilion, the first power in Luo Hou Country, announced publicly that they would open their doors wide to accept the barbarian as their core disciple!

As soon as that news came out, a disturbance immediately occurred inside the Nether Big World.

The inside disciple of the Tianshu Pavilion!

All the big powers knew that the Dark Reign had three secret branches in the Nether Big World and the Tianshu Pavilion was just one of them!

Those who were qualified to be the inside disciples of the Tianshu Pavilion were all extremely powerful. And in the future, they would probably be supervised directly by the Dark Reign! If they could go further and wear the Feather Clothes with Black Dragon, which stood for supreme glories, they would basically no longer have any opponents in the Nether Big World as well as in the Heaven Realm of the low-level world!

…

In the Wild Domain, two dark shadows were whispering in a hidden crypt on the periphery of Luo Hou Country.

“My brother, my news is very secret! People only know that the barbarian has arrived in the Wild Domain, but no one knows that his real destination is the Northern Mining Area! What’s more, his rough appearance is not his real body. It’s very likely that he is Lyu Liang, who has made quite a stir in the Chaotic World! Haha, I only charge you 30,000 mid-grade Primordial Stones for the sake of our friendship. It’s worth it!” A youth wearing a black robe with double-headed dragon patterns held out three fingers, his wicked smile quite unsuitable for his identity.

Before him was an ingenuous sturdy man with a beard. He directly handed the youth a bag and cupped his fists, saying with a smile, “Haha. Brother Zijian, your information is always more valuable than the payment! I don’t need to say anything more. When this information is announced first in the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, you will have your share of the benefits then!”

The man in the black robe also cupped his fists and said, “Of course! I always like to cooperate with you. It’s not messy! I suggest that you go back right now and announce it quickly. Although the news is very secret, other people may also have already learned of it. If someone else announces it first, I won’t give you any Primordial Stones back!”

“Haha! If you have any information like this afterward, please let me know! We’ve cooperated for so long. We always get benefits from your news and have suffered no losses ever!” The sturdy man with a beard laughed cheerfully.

“No problem! I’ve been out for a while. Now I have to go. Oh, one more thing, the Nether Big World is not peaceful recently, and I can’t tell you more. But if you see any strangers, you’d better tell me. You know how to contact me. The sooner, the better!” The man in the black robe wore an uncommon solemn expression. After finishing speaking, he gradually disappeared.

The sturdy man waited until that man’s aura had completed faded and then turned around and said lightly, “That is the information you want to confirm?”

Along with his words, a beam of misty blue light emerged, which then condensed into a man wearing blue clothes. It was Nie Qingyun, whose cultivation was already close to an Early-stage Heavenly Master.

“Yes! Thanks for your help, Your Excellency! That man is just the one I’ve been looking for everywhere. He will definitely go to the north! I will try to meet him in the Wild Domain and go there together!” Nie Qingyun said with an expression of gratitude. Then he cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

The sturdy man looked complex at the moment. He said with a sigh, “Now that you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say anything else. Anytime you get in danger in the Wild Domain, just go to the affiliations of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting and show them the token that I’ve given you. They would keep you safe!” As soon as he finished, he was about to leave.

Seeing that, Nie Qingyun hurried to say, “You first saved me from the chase of those mysterious enemies, and then conjured to bring me to the Wild Domain. Now, you again inquire about such sensitive information for me… I owe you much more than just saying “Thank you”! But, could you please tell me why you’ve done that? We should be strangers before…”

The sturdy man waved his hand and just disappeared, while murmuring at the same time, “Sorry, I can’t tell you the details. If you really want to know, I can only say we all owe you a lot…”

“Well… Hey! He… and him, those who want to kill me, and the changes of my body, can you explain them to me? Anyway, nothing can stop me from fighting together with my Master!” Nie Qingyun was confused at first, but then he clenched his fists and nodded heavily.

…

The biggest chamber of commerce in the Nether Big World was called Yue Feng Nest Meeting, which had shops, hotels, information market places, etc. They had spread all over that world early and even expanded to some realms of other worlds.

Inside a hidden chamber in the headquarters of Luo Hou Country, a bearded man was saying something to a silver crystal ball. His aura was in disorder, but he still looked calm. Above that ball was an illusion of a white-robed man.

“Milord, like you said, he is very determined and has sworn to follow Lyu Liang toward the Northern Mining Area. If they were in the Wild Domain, we might be able to protect him with our own forces, but they go to the Northern Mining Area… You know, there is no guarantee for their absolute safety, either for the Dark Reign or the organization! What to do next? Please tell us, milord!” The sturdy man knew that he just needed to be a follower at that time.

The illusion of the white-robed man said after a sigh, “His insistence is always so impressive… Fine! I’m fully occupied here, so you guys need to take care of him now! I will inform Tian Yin and ask the Dark Reign to keep him safe with all their strength. The people who want to kill him should be the Men of Sacrifice from the ‘Divine Imperial Court’ above. We did get some advantages before other people, but we may lose everything even for a minor moment of carelessness! You take time to recover. For the moment, he should be safe.”

The sturdy man cupped his fists solemnly and said with a deep voice, “Please don’t worry, milord! We will try to get him a chance of survival even at the cost of all the lives of our people!”

…

At the same time, Qing’er with yellow palace clothing was frowning in the core area inside the Dark Reign, while Ji Luo Tao Lord in front of her was reporting something solemnly.

“If I predict it right, they’ve done two things at the same time! Although milord Tian Yang has already headed there, I don’t know what would happen if the third Guardian of their organization also arrived… Besides, disharmonious voices seem to occur inside us… Ah! With the absolute power, some people have forgotten the original intention of setting the Dark Reign…” Ji Luo Tao Lord sighed deeply, looking to be in great pain.

Qing’er hummed and said, “It’s okay that they just forget about it, but I’m afraid that some of them have already become the spies of those old men! Since the Divine Imperial Court also starts to have a hand in this, we can’t wait any longer! Although it’s not such a critical time of life and death, still we can’t afford a defeat. When it’s necessary, we are even willing to sacrifice the entire Dark Reign to prevent the Reincarnation Plan from being ruined when it is already at such a crucial moment!”

…

There was an inconspicuous space gap in the border area between the south and west parts of the Nether Big World, but inside it was quite another scene! There were three figures there, two actual people and one illusion. And Lyu Liang knew them all.

“So? I said it’s not going to work! Now the Hell Organization also seems to perceive our unusual actions. The light illusion I saw yesterday should be Donghuang Chongyun himself. He is already here!” Qiao Youliang helplessly looked at Zhu Yan in front of him, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth and aching all over.

Zhu Yan shook his head after a bitter laugh and said, “Yes, you are right! He is insane when fighting! Senior Tai Chu, you sure you really have warded him off with just three Guardians that year? Then why can’t I hold on for even the time that it takes to burn five sticks of incense?”

Tai Chu Ancestor Lord sighed and said, “Three Guardians that are fully awakened could start the ‘Disillusion Divine Painting’, so they are totally capable of warding him off! That year, five Guardians cooperated together with Tai Su and me to fight with him and Six Tao, and we just drew in the end. Of course, that was also because part of his Canon of Wildness was sealed! If he had fought with no restraint at that time… Well, well, I just can’t imagine that! No matter what, he was the top power of the Divine Clan!”

“Okay… I get it! We have to choose the first method anyway. But when we do it, I hope that we can make sure that Lyu Liang is safe! I will help him when necessary, as I’m not just a Guardian, but also Zhu Yan. Lyu Liang is my best friend and we have sworn to live and die together!” Zhu Yan said solemnly.

“I also have a good impression of that guy. He is indeed a man that you can trust with your life! It’s too bad that we can’t explain the situation to him being restricted by the covenant. I just hope that when the bait bites the fishhook, he won’t get in the way, though he is bait, too! Before I came here, the Guardian of Gold was already in the last phase of waking up. If everything goes well, he should come here in no time. As long as we can successfully make the Disillusion Divine Painting, we should have some advantages!” Qiao Youliang said while twisting his mustache. Then he patted the black monkey that was eating a peach on his shoulder and said, “Little Ming, it’s time for you to move then!”

Tai Chu Ancestor Lord said lightly, “If not for the great power of the Tianji Astrolabe, this plan would be the last thing we would like to do. I’ve already regarded Lyu Liang as my last disciple! In a few days, my three doppelgangers will come to control this place. I will hold the main forces of the Hell Organization together with them. Since we’ve already decided to carry out the first plan, you guys take time to recover during these days. When the Guardian of Gold comes here, we will take the next step.”

At the time, Zhu Yan turned his eyes and suddenly said with a smile, “Senior Tai Chu, we are the Guardians, so we could also be said to be the key figures whom you trust, right? We are about to act together soon. Then maybe you could tell us something, like the information about the other two Guardians… I don’t know the details about the Guardian for Wood, but the Guardian for Earth may be already…”

Tai Chu Ancestor Lord was stunned at first. Then he shook his head and laughed bitterly, saying, “You are much smarter than the first generation, the Guardian for Fire! About the information, it’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that the matter is very important, so I’m also restricted by the covenant and not allowed to say anything about the Guardians! I can only say that the reason that you two wake up now is that you’ve reached the activation conditions set that year! And the other two haven’t reached yet, so I have nothing to tell you!”

When they were talking, another person arrived. After a flash of blue light, Tai Yi God Ancestor showed up. He looked very serious. Apparently something important had happened.

“The first attack launched by the Divine Imperial Court was smashed. The Hell Organization must send out people at the Saint God level! Although the enemies have been countercharged by the Natural Law and won’t strike back anytime soon, we also lose the trail of the goal again. The Wild Domain is a place where they have a lot of connections after long hours and great efforts, and we shouldn’t take action there. I’ve already sent follow-up forces to the Northern Mining Area. I just hope that we won’t fail again this time!” Tai Yi God Ancestor sighed and then looked at Zhu Yan with a complex expression, saying, “If I predict it right, the Hell Organization is now trying to make him and Lyu Liang gather in one place. If that’s true, it will be more difficult for us to win! Therefore, I have informed the Extra-legal Six People…”

“You… Why didn’t you tell us first? Who have you sent? Don’t tell me that the three inhuman maniacs are also there! Lyu Liang could be used as bait, but I would never let him be a sacrifice!” Zhu Yan said furiously. The other three people were stunned at the same time, and Zhu Yan was the most emotional one.

Tai Yi God Ancestor sighed deeply, saying, “Instant Boy and Yama Zhina will participate only when Lyu Liang and Nie Qingyun get together!”

After a moment of silence, when Zhu Yan was about to say something, Qiao Youliang raised his head and said first, “When the Guardian of Gold reaches here, I will go find Lyu Liang and try my best to prevent them from meeting each other. At worst, I won’t get in their way then… As to the exercise of the Disillusion Divine Painting, we could do it after I come back. Anyway, we are not in such a hurry. I can guarantee that no matter what happens, Lyu Liang would be at least alive! You’d better finish your final fusion within these days!” He spoke those last two sentences to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan opened his mouth. Finally, he just sighed and replied softly, “Thanks for your favor. You don’t have to do that. If there are only those two people, even without your help Lyu Liang won’t die, as one of them is Lyu Liang’s old friend…”
