Lyu Liang went out of Massive Funeral Hall, transformed into a white-browed elderly at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul, and then flew directly to Holy-Fist Palace. After reaching the boundary of the sect, he did not rush inside, but carefully recalled the terrain and location of the traps within the premises.
The Holy-Fist Palace was located on a broad green mountain. Although there was no strange formation like the 'Ghost Chaos formation', looking at the power that the Sect-Protection Formation emitted, Lyu Liang knew that the formation would not be weak.
There was a small, simple market place at the foot of the mountain. There, Lyu Liang saw a lot of disciples from the Holy-Fist Palace, clad in yellow costumes. The highest cultivation was at the Peak of Nascent Soul, and the lowest even included the Early-stage of Qi Refining.
Lyu Liang strolled around patiently, but he kept a close watch on those disciples whose cultivations were below the Gold Core stage. Anyway, they could not feel the existence of his Divine Sense.
In fact, Lyu Liang was looking for a chance to overpower a Holy-Fist Palace disciple of low cultivation and then search through his soul. After that, he could transform into the disciple's appearance and secretly sneak into Holy-Fist Palace.
But deep in his bones, Lyu Liang still had a good moral character. Although he would probably have a life or death ending with the Holy-Fist Palace, as a Fairy Immortal, he did not want to make any moves on those low-staged disciples, who knew nothing. Since he wanted to change his appearance and sneak in, the one that he was targeting, could not stay alive. So, he waited. He was waiting for a wicked person that would give him a reason to kill him.
His patience eventually paid off. After about two hours, Lyu Liang found a small team of bullies. There were a total of four people, led by a tall and strong man at the Peak of Nascent Soul, followed three young men who were at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul.
What they did was to collect protection fees from every booth in the market place, ranging from ten mid-grade Primordial Stones to twenty. Initially, Lyu Liang was still hesitant about going for this kind of mixed gang, who were not really that evil. After all, they did not deserve to be dead, but something happened later, that made Lyu Liang change his mind. "You are the one!"
When the four people went to one of the shops selling ordinary forging materials, they instantly asked for fifty mid-grade Primordial Stones. The shopkeeper was a pretty girl whose cultivation was only at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul. She panicked when she heard their demands.
Then they gave the old-fashioned 'the money is not enough, pay it with your body' plot, and when the four people were flirting and blurting out vulgarities, a handsome, white-robed youth, with a thin face, rushed out in a rage. His cultivation was also at the Peak of Nascent Soul and he placed himself in front of the girl.
The girl hid behind the youth, like a pitiful bird. It seemed that they were either brother and sister or Taoist companions.
"Bastard, do you know who Boss An is?" "He is the grandson of Kao Shan Master, who is one of the Ten Golden Fairy of Holy-Fist Palace, get lost now!"
"My sister and I have just arrived, and we did not know there is a rule of collecting protection fees here. The ignorant should not be blamed. We will pack up and leave now!"
"Hey, let me tell you the truth. I am interested in your sister!" "If you are smart, follow me back to the Holy-Fist Palace. You can become an inner disciple with one word from me." "How about it, better than you selling materials here right?"
"You... impossible!" "No matter who you are, if you wish to molest my sister, even if I die, I will not grant your wish!"
When the white-robed youth finished speaking, a threatening-looking ax appeared in his hand, and his body gave out a series of cracking sounds.
"Eh?" "So you are both a body refining and magic practicing cultivator!" "Bastard, just wait!" Boss An threatened the white-robed youth and left with his followers.
The white-robed youth heaved a sigh of relief, turned back, and nodded at the girl. Then the two began to pack up, apparently ready to leave immediately.
After about thirty minutes, the brother and sister finished packing and then quickly left the place. At this time, Lyu Liang grinned and his figure gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.
...
After a while, the brother and sister had already flown to a bare piece of land.
"Tao, hang on there, wait till we reach the boundary of Ru Yi Sect, we will be safe... oh no!" Just when the white-robed youth heaved a sigh of relief, a golden sword light suddenly appeared in front of the two people. Without even having any second thoughts, he directly stood in front of his sister and blocked her with his body.
"Peng" with a muffled sound, both brother and sister fell heavily to the ground. The sister was unhurt, but her brother's face turned pale, and blood was flowing out of his mouth. Apparently, he had been severely injured.
"Heng, are you trying to run away?" "My targeted prey has never escaped before!" "I am interested in your sister, but now I am more interested in you!" "I did not expect to meet a Creator today. Indeed, I found a treasure!" During the speech, five people emerged in the sky, and the leader was Boss An, whom they encountered previously, in the market place. At his side, there was one more disciple from the Holy-Fist Palace, who was at the Late-stage of Void Return. He was looking at the brother and sister, who were on the ground, with contempt, and it seemed that he was the person who fired the shot just now.
The white-robed youth looked stunned at first, and had a desperate look on his face. But in an instant, it was replaced by a decisive look.
"Tao, he should be the one who has the Creator Stone!" "I will choose to blow myself up later, and you have to take the opportunity to escape. If you can't do it, use that Teleportation Talisman, but you will suffer afterwards." While the white-robed youth secretly transmitted this voice message to his sister, he reluctantly looked at his younger sister, who was shaking her head, and was in tears.
The disciple at the Late-stage of Void Return waved his hand, and a golden circle instantly bound the white-robed youth, and then, the voice of Boss An said, "Stop thinking about blowing yourself up. I have long heard that your group of recluse people are all strong, and I have taken note of that." "Once I go back to my grandfather to ask for help, I must control your Divine Soul as soon as possible. Hey, if I have a Creator as my follower, my position will improve!"
Boss An and his followers were over the moon and the brother and sister were feeling really desperate now. Suddenly, a silent Death Qi shrouded the whole area.
"No..." The disciple at the Late-stage of Void Return only managed to spit out a word and was then swallowed up by a black sun that appeared suddenly. The four people behind Boss An suffered the same fate.
Boss An, who was the only one left, was dumbfounded. He was not stupid and instantly knew that a powerful figure had arrived! Otherwise, it was impossible for someone at the Late-stage of Void Return to be killed without even having time to react!
"Which, which powerful figure senior is here?" "I am the grandson of Kao Shan Master, one of the ten Golden Fairy of Holy-Fist Palace. I am here to deal with some matters, and if I have disturbed you, please forgive me, I will leave now!" Boss An's arrogant attitude changed and he became like an obedient kid. As for the Creator, he was less important than his life.
At the same time, a white-browed elderly appeared silently behind Boss An. He raised his arm and instantly plunged his fingertips into his head. Boss An's look instantly turned from panic to confusion, and his vital signs slowly disappeared.
"Soul Retrieving technique!" The pupils of the white-robed youth shrunk. He struggled to get up and placed himself in front of his sister.
"Oh, you don't have to panic. I mean no harm to you, I am seeking revenge from the Holy-Fist Palace." At this point, the white-browed elderly seemed to have finished his soul searching. He drifted to the side of the brother and sister and Boss An who had a dull look on his face, followed as well.
Later, the white-browed elderly swayed and turned into Lyu Liang again. He grinned and clasped his fists, "I am Lyu Liang, and I followed you here from the market place. I came here to help you deal with the villain, and to prepare myself for entering the Holy-Fist Palace." "Now both goals have been achieved, and I am about to leave."
After that, Lyu Liang waved his hand, and the golden circle on the white-robed youth disappeared. At the same time, two medicinal pills floated in front of them.
"This is the Immortal Supplement Pill that I have received from others. It is used to restore the Qi and nourish the Divine Soul. You both seem to have old injuries that have yet to heal. Although this medicinal pill can't help you recover, it will be beneficial to your cultivation afterward." After Lyu Liang took out two Immortal Supplement Pills, he was ready to leave.
"You should know that I am a Creator. Why are you willing to help us?" Although the white-robed youth took the medicinal pill, he still stared at Lyu Liang, and kept himself on full alert.
Lyu Liang turned around and said gently, "What a familiar name. I came to the Pangu Origin world because of a Creator." "Rest assured, I just want to help, because I know the Creator myself, and I know the history of your tribe. Besides, I have some relationships with the five leaders of Creator."
The white-robed youth was stunned at first, then joy overwhelmed him and he asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know the leader with the surname Xu?"
This time it was Lyu Liang's turn to be stunned. He pondered a while and said firmly, "Xu Chongzhi?" "Or Xu Mubai?" "No matter who he is, he is my life and death brother." "I don't want to hide anything from you. I came to the Pangu Origin world because of him."
Later, Lyu Liang briefly described the history of the Creator he knew and his relationship with the leaders of these Creators.
The eyes of the white-robed youth became brighter and brighter. He looked at his sister and both fell to the ground, on their knees. "Senior, please accept our bows as our benefactor!" "I am Xu Liang, and this is my sister, Xu Xiaotao, we are from the tribe of Leader Xu." "Because of our special identities, we have to be careful. Please forgive us if we have offended you before!"
"Ah? You are my brother's people. As far as I know, my brother and the group existed tens of thousands of years ago, then you are..." Lyu Liang was a bit curious now. Looking at the two people in front of him, their appearance and cultivation, they did not look like any of the old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
A nostalagic look appeared on Xu Liang's face and he said gently, "Benefactor, you are aware that the five leaders went to another big world, but you didn't know that before they left, some people who miss their homeland, sealed their descendants with secret methods and hid them in a secret place, for a long time. Then they woke up again long after. The purpose is to leave the seeds of the Creator in his hometown." "My sister and I were part of the descendants who were left here."
Lyu Liang was stunned and then asked, "What's about your cultivation and injuries?" After that, a gush of air lifted the brother and sister.
A sad look appeared in Xu Liang's eyes and he said in a low voice, "Although the era of the Creator has passed for a long time, there are still some people who are deliberately searching for our existence." "Before my sister and I were sealed, we are at the Peak of Nascent Soul." "More than two hundred years ago, we met a cultivator at the Peak of Void Return, who knew our identity." "He wanted to control us for his use. We naturally had to fight to the best of our abilities. In the end, although we managed to escape, our Qi Meridian and Divine Soul were damaged, and our cultivation has fallen to the present level."
Lyu Liang carefully examined the brother and sister, but no matter how much he checked, they looked like the usual cultivators. He immediately asked, "You two seemed very ordinary, how did others discover your identity as a Creator?" "For example, the one who attacked you, and that Boss An."
Xu Liang shook his head and sighed, "They should have the Creator stone, which was produced by Creators that have betrayed the tribe and escaped. The stone was an artifact made to capture more Creators for their masters." "As long as they have the stone, they can sense all Creators who are present within the area of 3300 feet."
Lyu Liang understood finally, and immediately found a small blue stone from the dull looking boss An, and then kept it in his sleeve. At the same time, he handed several storage bags to the brother and sister, and said gently, "These are the storage bags that belong to the few people just now, and there should be a lot of assets inside. It is useless for me to keep it, you guys can have it." "You will need these for your cultivation, resting and traveling. You are welcome, just let me do my best for my elder brother!"
None of them took the storage bags. After looking at each other, they nodded slightly, and then they bowed again, at the same time. "Since senior and our tribe leader are bonded brothers, you are our leader too." "If you don't mind, we are willing to forge treasures for senior, till the day we can go back to Leader Xu!"
