Chapter 205 - The Sin

Chapter 205: The Sin

Hearing the unexpected proposal from Zhang Ran, Lyu Liang was stunned. Although it was important to recover cultivation, he could not hasten to join a mysterious organization who might be an enemy!

“You mean that I can also join the Hell Organization? What do you mean by ‘meet the requirements’?” Lyu Liang asked immediately.

Zhang Ran replied, “Brother, if one wants to join the Hell Organization, he must have a tragic past or feel despair about the present! Your experience meets this condition! Only when you become a disciple of the organization can you recover your cultivation. Otherwise, I have no way to help you!”

Before Lyu Liang asked, he directly told him the relevance between the organization and the recovery of cultivation.

After thinking for a while, Lyu Liang asked softly, “Can you tell me the meaning of the existence of the Hell Organization?”

Zhang Ran had a solemn and expectant look on his face, and said firmly, “The organization aims to create a harmonious world where there is no dispute, sordidness, or war. As for the details, I can only tell you after you join the organization!”

Lyu Liang gasped and was astonished by the great ambition of this obscure organization. If it could realize its aim, then the entire world would be a Land of Peach Source!

“Then why did you join it?” Subconsciously, Lyu Liang thought of Zhang Ran’s mysterious past.

When he met Zhang Ran for the first time, he was just an ordinary disciple. Lyu Liang still remembered that this guy, a member of the Back Mountain Trio, had once spent a lot of money on rare treasures in the Tianshui Pavilion market place on Freedom Day.

At that time, Lyu Liang thought that Zhang Ran was from a big family due to his bearing and his way of using money.

But when Lyu Liang found that everything was a facade, he was curious about what had really happened in the past.

Hearing that, Zhang Ran was stunned. Then, he had a sorrowful look on his face, and said slowly, “All right. I’ve kept it a secret all these years. Now that you want to know, I’ll say it. It doesn’t feel good to bury it in my heart for such a long time!

“About 20,000 years ago, I was born in the Lush Mountain Realm. At that time, my family was the greatest power there! We had over 10 cultivators at the Almighty Immortal level. Actually, the realm was tiny, perhaps the size of an area in the Mortal Realm.

“As the only child, I was taken good care of and trained as a cultivator by my family. And because I had multiple Spiritual Roots, my cultivation reached the Middle-stage of Fairy Immortal within 300 years. At that time, everything was perfect for me, until a disaster occurred in my hometown.

“The cause was a Tianxuan Divine Tree, which was discovered in the Lush Mountain World. When we found it, there were five Tianxuan Holy Rattans on it! Anyone, even a Divine Ancestor, would not be able to resist such temptations! All the people in our family were wild with joy, except for my grandfather. He sighed sorrowfully, as he said that, perhaps, the end of our Zhang family was near!

“Very soon, the thing that grandfather worried about most occurred! On the day they found the tree, the family ordered to keep it a secret and required everyone to make a life-bonded vow. But still, the news leaked out, drawing many bad men there.

“Although there were not many powerful cultivators in the Lush Mountain World, it was protected by a great ancient formation. So basically, it was impossible to break in from the outside! Grandfather proposed to give the tree to the Heavenly Alliance. Aware of the current situation, the other people in the family was reluctant, but not against it.

“After we had repulsed three batches of invaders, the envoys from the Heavenly Alliance arrived. They were invited by my grandfather to take the tree away. That should have been a reassuring moment, but it became a prelude of the death of our family!

“Because we trusted these envoys, who were from the Remote Antiquity families in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, we welcomed them without any defense. I’ll never forget the scene that, when my grandfather bowed to them, the leader among the five people suddenly destroyed my grandfather’s Divine Soul!

“Without any warning, the ritual became our disaster of being robbed and killed! At that time, the Great Defense Formation could not protect us anymore. Two of the five people were at the Almighty Immortal level, and the other three, who were suppressed by the Power of Law, were at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. We could have defended against their attack, but just at that critical moment, we were betrayed. Someone launched a destructive array unit from the inside, which caused our numerous powerful figures to die in a flash. And that betrayer was my father!”

Although Lyu Liang was a mortal now, he could feel the intense killing intention from Zhang Ran. With fierceness in his eyes, he had a ferocious look on his face. There was no hint of innocence or agreeableness anymore, but indignation along with wrenching sorrow!

“I was basically brought up by my grandparents. After I was born, my father left without leaving a word, until I grew up and reached the Peak of Gold Core. Because of his betrayal, our hope of resistance fell to zero. Meanwhile, those from the Heavenly Alliance seemingly planned to kill all of us.

“At that critical moment, I was so furious and heartbroken that I could not accept such an inhumane father! The last thing I saw was that he was killing our clansmen with his servants. Then, a surge of horrific power appeared in my Divine Soul, which deprived my consciousness in an instant.

“After that, I didn’t know what had happened. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in a strange wooden house and a white-robed young man smiling at me. He told me two things that shocked me. First, the Lush Mountain World no longer existed. After those criminals robbed the divine tree, they destroyed all the evidence of their crime. “Second, I became crazy at that time. In an instant, my strength broke through the suppression of the Law of Heaven, and I killed my father at once.

“Then, the young man pulled out a crystal ball, which showed me the scene of the battle. My heart broke when I saw myself, insanely, killing my mother, who rushed over to protect me! At that moment, she fell into my arms and uttered her last words with a smile: ‘It’s not your fault.’

“The young man said that he happened to pass by and saved me and took me out. He had taken me on the run from the envoys for four days. It was the fifth day when I awoke, and we had just then gotten out of trouble.

“At that time, I could only feel anguished and lost, and I even wanted to explode my Divine Soul. However, the young man comforted me and took me to a mysterious space. There, I was shocked to meet some cultivators who used to suffer all kinds of pains. Some of them even had a past much more miserable than mine!

“Then, the young man told me that they had united together to eliminate the hypocrisy and evilness in this world, to create a world of justice, and to save other people from the same pain! This space is such an existence to achieve these aims, the headquarters of the Hell Organization!

“I joined the Hell Organization without hesitation. From then on, I would fight for these aims throughout my life!”

After Zhang Ran told him all of this, his face was covered with tears. He wiped his face and said solemnly, “Brother, this is all I want to say! It’s up to you whether to join the organization or not. By the way, I have gathered much information about those five people from the Heavenly Alliance. The leader is Gongsun Kang, who is the younger brother of Gongsun Wuji, the master of the Gongsun family. One is Kong Liang, who is the son of Kong Wuming, the master of the Kong family! As for the other three, I only know that they are from the Liu, Han, and Zheng families, respectively!”

Lyu Liang was totally stunned because, except for the Kong family, he was acquainted with some people from the other four families. The Immortal General “Sky Holding,” who had just saved him several days ago, seemed to be from the Gongsun Family. Besides this, he had some friends from the Liu, Han, and Zheng families.

Subconsciously, Lyu Liang asked, “How will you deal with these families?”

Zhang Ran gritted his teeth and said resolutely, “Blood for blood! If I know who they are, I will kill them directly. If not, I will kill their families until they stand out to admit their crimes!”

Looking at Zhang Ran, who had a murderous look on his face, Lyu Liang did not know how to comfort him.

It was impossible to spare people who had exterminated an entire clan!

Lyu Liang understood his feelings. When he learned that it was the whiskered man from the Blood Divine Sect who had killed his mother, no one could persuade him to give up taking revenge.

Lyu Liang let out a deep sigh and clapped Zhang Ran’s shoulder. When he was trying to say something, Zhang Ran suddenly looked up. He shook his head and said with a wry smile, “You’re really here. I should have known that an Immortal General wouldn’t be so careless!”

Stunned, Lyu Liang seemingly realized something. Before he could ask, he began losing consciousness, and what he heard, at last, was Zhang Ran’s voice, “Brother! I have to go! If you decide to join us, crush the jade pendant I leave to you!”

After a while, Lyu Liang regained his consciousness. Opening his eyes, he found himself still lying on his bed in the ancestral temple.

When he sat up suddenly, he found a white jade pendant, which was inscribed with the character “Ran” next to his pillow.

Lyu Liang sighed softly and put the pendant away. Then, he lay down again, but could not fall back asleep.

………………………………

At the same time, far away from the Lyu family, two figures were standing in the air face to face. They were precisely Zhang Ran and Ye Tianlong, who had disappeared for several days. However, the two, who had different standpoints, seemed not to be fighting against each other.

“You consumed your Divine Soul just to invite Lyu Liang to join you? If I didn’t see that, I wouldn’t believe that Chi Liu, who is known for killing without batting an eyelid, has such a soft side!” Ye Tianlong said leisurely, looking Zhang Ran up and down curiously.

“Hoho, I also wonder why you didn’t stop me at the beginning as you usually do? That way, I wouldn’t have obtained the Great Manual of Divine Soul with ease.” Zhang Ran smiled and went on, “So you just watched me get it without doing anything? Isn’t it one of your missions to monitor or kill the people of the Hell Organization?”

Ye Tianlong nodded and stuck out a finger as he said, “Only this time, I will just behave as if nothing had happened. After all, I didn’t come here with sound reasons.” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. “Besides, if you stimulate the Divine Mark, I don’t have any device like ‘Sky Holding’ to defend against it.”

“Wait! Since you’re here, I have a question for you! Is ‘Flying Dragon’ from the Han Family?” Hearing what Zhang Ran had said, Ye Tianlong paused slightly.

“I have no obligation to tell you such confidential information. Next time I meet you, I won’t spare you!” Then, before Zhang Ran could stop him, Ye Tianlong’s figure disappeared immediately.

“Ah!” Zhang Ran let out a roar. Looking at the place where Ye Tianlong had disappeared, he gritted his teeth and said, “No one can stop me from finding out the truth! If the Eight Immortal Generals were involved in that event, even if I have to fight with Divine Ancestors, I will definitely make them pay their debts!”
