The Devilish Immortal-Chapter 290 - War in the Minging Vein
Chapter 290 War in the Minging Vein
After three days in the absolute territory of Tianshu Pavilion, Yang Dingshan finally brought him reliable information. There were more than 300 people of the Yang Family there, who were all eager to escape from this place, and were absolutely loyal!
That was naturally the answer that Lyu Liang wanted to hear. Besides, the time was right, and he should take the necessary action to carry out his plan!
“Junior Brother, this will be your first time to go down the mine, so be sure to remember what I said! Once you get something good, protect them well, right away. If you are transmitted, immediately try to exert a move to transfer. Then you will probably be able to escape alive!” Feng Mazi warned him one more time, which gave Lyu Liang a very warm feeling.
Lyu Liang nodded repeatedly, while listening to him. At the same time, he became more alert in his heart. No matter what, he had been framed before, so he had learned his lesson. At the moment, it was a place of law that was even more dangerous and creepy. He had to be more careful.
“Everybody, follow me to the Minging Vein. The early-stage digging job is on you guys now!” Lyu Liang commanded his slaves hurriedly, who already knew everything. They just had to put on a show first.
According to Feng Mazi, once the slaves found colorful beams of faint shining lights in the process of digging, that meant that the supernal materials and agrarian treasures could be excavated soon. At that time, they drove the slaves out and went down there with their own people.
“You must be careful! Once the situation is dangerous, retreat quickly. Never make unnecessary sacrifices!” Lyu Liang secretly transmitted a voice to Yang Dingshan, as he did not want the clansmen of the Yang Family to be cannon fodders.
When Lyu Liang took them to his Minging Vein, he came across the exploring team of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting. After all, their Minging Veins were always next to each other.
There were three leaders in the team of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, one of whom was Nie Qingyun. At the time, he was giving out a powerful aura of the Middle-stage Supreme Master. Without the mask, he directly made eye contact with Lyu Liang. Behind him were the numerous clansmen from the Wen Clan.
They smiled tacitly, and then looked away, and went down into their Minging Vein mines respectively.
Next, the people of the Yang Family went to explore the mine beforehand. Surprisingly, within the time of even less than 30 minutes, Yang Dingshan ran out hastily, and said to him in a trembling voice, “Boss! It is there! We got it! That is sure to be an extremely precious treasure!”
After hearing that, Lyu Liang hastened to the mining vein. Then he immediately recalled the general knowledge about the Minging Vein, that Feng Mazi had taught him.
The light that appeared before the rare treasure was graded according to its colors. The colors that were more common were yellow and white, which basically represented the supernal materials and agrarian treasures that were not superior to those of pure-yang grade.
But if the light was red, that meant that the treasure was at least one of pure-yang grade or like the Innate Spirit Treasure. Although that was a good opportunity, the degree of hazard would also double, as the treasures with a higher grade would likely attract those Gray Fog monsters, and cause fierce unusual changes in the space!
Red still did not represent a supreme level. According to the tale, purple should be the highest grade! Once there was purple light, it indicated that the treasure was sure to be even superior to the Innate Spirit Treasure! Well, of course, the hazards along with it… were not something that one person could handle.
Nearly all the Lu Tian Divine Stones were glowing with purple light. Occasionally there would be red light, but that was very rare.
“This… Red light and purple light are mixing together!” When Lyu Liang saw a wide band of splendid light, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and came up with a bold idea!
Wasn’t that a good opportunity for the Yang Family to suffer some heavy casualties?
Lyu Liang’s plan was simple. He would pretend to create accidents, which would “reduce” the number of people of the Yang Family. When all the people of the family were dead, he could also make an excuse not to go down to the Minging Vein anymore. After ten years, when he could go back, he would find a chance to escape with them!
That kind of method should be used minimally, of course. If it could be done at most for two times, that would be best. If he created more accidents, they were likely to be discovered.
Lyu Liang first quietly checked out the surroundings, to make sure that there were no other people, except his slaves. Then he secretly transmitted a voice message to Yang Dingshan, “Find more than 100 people who can run fast. Later, when I give the order, let them escape outside. And the rest of them will follow me to my personal cave residence!”
Something weird flashed in Yang Dingshan’s eyes, but he said nothing else, and did what Lyu Liang asked him to do.
…
Moments later, within a circumference of 100,000 feet in the mining area of the Tianshu Pavilion, a beam of red and purple light shot up to the sky, making all the powers around stare!
“Is that the area that Junior Brother Man is in charge of! Damn it, what you fear always happens!” Feng Mazi reacted first. He directly went out of his own area and headed toward Lyu Liang’s part quickly. On his way, he saw the people of the Yang Family flying out successively, all in a state of panic.
“Where is my Junior Brother Man?” Feng Mazi could not see Lyu Liang anywhere. He caught hold of Yang Dingshan right away, who happened to be rushing out in front of him.
“Th… Three! Three Gray Fog monsters! Boss is… is transmitted…” Yang Dingshan had not recovered from the shock yet, and it did not seem like he was putting on an act.
Actually, Yang Dingshan did manage to escape from there, with great horror. After Lyu Liang made this plan, what happened afterwards was quite beyond Lyu Liang’s expectation…
At that time, Lyu Liang first saved more than 200 people. After confirming that the restriction formation and everything were all okay, he started to explore the Minging Vein by himself.
After the time of just a few breaths, as Lyu Liang gradually peeled off the stone skin on the surface of the light, a deafening howl suddenly arose, shocking Lyu Liang so much that he was about to turn around and run away!
Other people may not know what that howl meant, but Lyu Liang was only too clear about it!
He still remembered the overwhelming howl of the horror beast Mushroom, from his previous encounter. At that time, he heard the same sound. What did that mean?
“Dude, don’t panic. That’s its Divided Soul named Gray Fog monster arriving, not the real body! It obviously recognizes you, and is attempting to pressure you through the Divided Soul!” White’s words made him calm down instantly.
“Run! Gray Fog monster is about to… it is already here!” Before Lyu Liang finished yelling to the slaves, he already felt three streams of weird aura floating toward them.
The fake plot was about to be made real.
“It’s the Lu Tian Divine Stone! Grab it and protect yourself! The fluctuations in this space are too weird!” It was Black yelling at the time.
As Lyu Liang focused, he saw a black stone the size of half a fist directly leaping up from the spot, where the red and purple light had shot up from. That was the actual Lu Tian Divine Stone he had dreaming about every day!
The stone flew at a rapid speed. Next second, it was already 1,000 feet away from him. Lyu Liang did not have time to deal with the Gray Fog that was already visible in the front. After three instantaneous flashes and a shift, he successfully grasped the Lu Tian Divine Stone, and immediately put it into the Interspatial Bracelet.
Meanwhile, a creepy space gap appeared, which directly devoured him…
…
“Boom!” When Lyu Liang recovered consciousness, he instinctively made a shift before getting a clear view of his surroundings. And the spot where he had originally been, already had a huge bottomless hole in it!
“Go! Kill him!” An unfamiliar and cold voice could be heard. Then several streams of aura from the people who were at the Peak of the Supreme Master, burst forth. “Be careful and protect yourselves! “Those Gray Fog monsters also seem to be aiming for him. This is a golden opportunity. We’d better not get into unnecessary trouble!”
After Lyu Liang saw the circumstances around him clearly, he frowned, as the dangerous situation at the moment was quite beyond his anticipation!
There were 20 cultivators at the Peak of the Supreme Master, and three Gray Fog air masses. The thing was that both sides were all clearly targeting him… The situation just could not be any more severe than it was, now
“There are rumors that only a few horror beasts which have inherited skills with profound meaning could generate intelligence. Unfortunately, the Mushroom seems to be one of them. He is holding a grudge against you, for you managed to escape from him last time…” White sighed helplessly, and continued, “Thank god that Little Ming is also here, otherwise, we’ll never be a match for them, and could only wait to die.”
“Since he wants my life so much, come on then! But I promise, if I don’t die this time, I’m going to let those people targeting me pay a high price for that!” With his eyes wide open, Lyu Liang’s aura increased to half Tao Ancestor abruptly, which directly triggered the extreme state of the Divine Mark!
The next second, eight Spirit Swallowing Bugs floated out and the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm was also released. At the same time, Lyu Liang drew out the Kunwu Sword, and started attacking everyone around him fiercely!
“Hurt them, man! It’s better that they bleed. Then the Gray Fog may change its goal! Try your best to make a mess, and I’ll help you attack, according to the circumstances! What’s more, we haven’t built a Divine Soul contract, so I can only swallow two at most. You need to handle the last one by yourself!” Little Ming suddenly said, which undoubtedly settled him down.
Destroy the leader and the gang would collapse! Lyu Liang first attacked that gray-robed man, who had issued the order.
The 20 people were clearly from different powers. They wore different clothes and also had various moves and Cultivation Methods, which did have formidable force, though.
Lyu Liang’s tactics at that time was to attack one single person fiercely. All his core moves and the Spirit Swallowing Bugs were focused on one enemy. So, whoever was under attack would never be able to withstand that.
At this time, the function of the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm was also brought to its full use. Basically, the transformed Ghost Soldiers could somehow block the enemies. Even if they were not able to hurt the opponents, they were still fully capable of withstanding one or two moves for Lyu Liang.
The residual force of the attack was nothing to Lyu Liang, even if it got him at last. His strong and tough constitution could basically withstand that, without any problems.
The leader of the 20 people still had two people beside him, but his face immediately went pale, when the saw the eight Spirit Swallowing Bugs. Obviously, he knew how scary those creepy creatures were!
But it was too late for him to dodge, as Lyu Liang started to focus on him. Lyu Liang exerted the Star-picking Palm, while sending out a Soul-Shaking Needle at the same time, which directly made the leader freeze a little.
The two people beside him should be his deadpool. When they saw their boss freeze, they flashed back in a split second from a distance of 1,000 feet away. However, they would never get a chance to leave.
Lyu Liang had thought it through. Facing those people with either high-grade fighting capacity or special grade fighting capacity, he needed to attack them quickly, precisely and ruthlessly!
And about the exposure of his moves, that was not important at the moment. He even had a feeling that he’d already exposed himself earlier. It just seemed that those people who had found him out had some concerns, and had not publicly given him a critical strike yet.
The people of the same rank that should be a match for Lyu Liang existed, but not in there.
When the other cultivators saw the corpses of their leader and his deadpool, some of them obviously flinched.
The eight Spirit Swallowing Bugs suddenly scattered and started to chase different people. Even if they caught them, they had no intention to kill them. Instead, they directly sucked their shields away and then scratched their hands to draw blood. At last, they would go away to look for another opponent.
They did that quickly and smoothly. Although they did not really kill them, all the enemies paled at the sight of them.
One of the Gray Fog monster had been swallowed by Little Ming. Another one was still chasing Lyu Liang, but the last one had completely changed its goal.
“It seems that the mushroom is not stupid, either!” Lyu Liang sneered. Then his head started to give off a golden soul spirit from the top. The next second, he rushed forward to fight desperately!
Although the situation was still not advantageous to Lyu Liang, he knew that there was a chance for him to live, as long as he kept fighting desperately! Because those people were not brave enough to be Men of Sacrifice, despite the fact that they all had a high-grade cultivation!
As expected, when Lyu Liang started to burn his soul spirit, their faces darkened at once. Some of them did not stop their attack, but their eyes had already become uncertain, obviously showing that they were thinking about retreating.
All of a sudden, a huge sound occurred in the space. The next second, in the space gap, a figure dressed in blue appeared, and a flash of silver light passed by Lyu Liang quickly. Then the figure directly rushed at the enemies!
“Qingyun! And… Haha!” As Lyu Liang fixed his eyes, he was thrilled, as Nie Qingyun was here together with fatty Feng who was furious, and Yan Zidao who looked so excited.
“You damn bastard! You think you can be a hero with another face? Snow Dragon Mountain, Golden Dragon Hall, Wusha Cave… Your faceless Taiyi Pavilion even dares to send people here to make a mess. That’s seeking death!” Fatty Feng’s face darkened. He drew out a huge copper hammer, and directly smashed it on the crowd.
Fatty Feng abused them by calling out their names, making them even more inclined to retreat.
Well… The next second, they just had to retreat, no matter what. Apart from the fact that Lyu Liang had more helpers now, the Gray Fog that had kept chasing Lyu Liang turned around automatically and literally rushed toward Lyu Liang’s enemies!
One of them escaped. Although they were still superior in numbers, they were losing the fight. After the first one escaped, there came another one, and then the third one…
The powerful ones ran away hastily, without looking back. But the common people had no time to run and were directly killed by Nie Qingyun and fatty Feng.
Especially Nie Qingyun, he terminated all the cultivators fighting him closely within just the time it took to burn three sticks of incense. Those cultivators could do nothing else, but had to strictly defend themselves, with an expression of horror, all the while.
15 minutes later, the battle came to an end. 14 cultivators out of the 20 enemies died and six of them escaped. Lyu Liang and his companions had made a clean sweep.
Lyu Liang’s aura was very weak at the moment, but he felt cheerful. With the Tianxuan Holy Rattan, the wearing out of the Divine Soul was not a problem for him!
He had already decided that he would not come again till ten days later, when his Divine Mark had fully recovered!
At the time, fatty Feng and Yan Zidao flew toward Lyu Liang. However, when Lyu Liang went to greet them, they suddenly became terrified and started to back off, while secretly transmitting a voice message to Lyu Liang, “Run, buddy! Run!”
Lyu Liang was puzzled by their actions. Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on with them, Little Ming’s voice came along, “Dude, there is something I need to tell you.”
Lyu Liang turned around subconsciously. Although he’d experienced a lot before, as soon as he saw what was in front of him, he stumbled and almost fell onto the ground!
