Chapter 367 Qiangu’s Persistence

Lyu Liang had a smooth recovery in the Mu Family. At first, everyone had thought that he was supposed to be healed in about a month. But, surprisingly, he had fully recovered on the 11th day after going in.

With a resounding howl, a stream of vigorous God Ancestor Early-stage aura rushed into the sky! But it returned to the Tao Ancestor Early-stage right away, while at the same time a loud laugh was heard.

“Amazing!” Lyu Liang jumped out of the pool, feeling incredibly comfortable. Both his Divine Soul and his body had returned to their original state. “The Tianxuan Holy Rattan was wasted. It seems that I’ll really have to be careful!”

In the meantime, several figures also showed up. They were Mu Haiying, the master of the Mu Family, Wen Xiaojing, who was looking joyful at the moment, and of course Lin Qiangu, but she looked like she was thinking about something.

“Thanks for your kindness, Master Mu! Because of you, I am able to recover so quickly!” Lyu Liang cupped his fists respectfully. Then he glanced around and asked, “Mu Yi and Yan Ming are not here?”

“Haha, compared with your act of rescuing my son, this is nothing!” Mu Haiying waved his hand. Then looking both excited and proud, he said, “I’m really sorry. I’m afraid that my son will not be seen any time soon. When you were in closed-door meditation, he met with a big opportunity. And now he has gone to the space of Goddess Nyu Wa with a mysterious powerful figure! As for the kid from the Yan Family, he also started his closed-door meditation three days ago.”

“Really? That’s great!” Lyu Liang was surprised at first, but then he looked very happy for them, as if he himself had gotten such an opportunity.

“Before he left, my son wanted me to tell something to you and Wen Xiaojing.” Mu Haiying, looking at Wen Xiaojing at the same time, continued solemnly, “He said that he will wait for you two in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa. When you meet again, he will be a companion that is a great help to you, a friend until death!”

“Great!” Lyu Liang nodded firmly; he was touched by Mu Yi. He had never expected that a playboy would become a reliable, intimate friend, and would able to fight side by side with him in the future!

“I am done here, so I’m going now. My son has gone away, but it’s not a problem for you to stay here as long as you need to!” Mu Haiying said his goodbye at the right time. After giving Wen Xiaojing a nod, he disappeared.

Lyu Liang also nodded and set up a few restriction formations to block the Divine Sense. Then he looked at Wen Xiaojing and said, “Now I’m fully healed. Will you go into the pool? Once your body is all right, we can pay a formal visit to the branch of the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance!”

“Most of my injuries are healed, except the one from the Tao. I’m afraid that the power of the middle-level world is not sufficient to cure me,” Wen Xiaojing said with a smile. “You’re right. We did put it off too long. Now that you’re fully recovered, it’s time for you to see God Ancestor Night Dragon. As for me, I’ve informed Master Mu that I’ll stay here with Qiangu awaiting your news.”

“All right! Then I’m leaving now. About Fairy Purple Phoenix… Ah, I’m just going to act according to the situation!” Lyu Liang sighed. When he thought of Fairy Purple Phoenix having risked her own life to save him two times before, he didn’t know how to face her…

Before, Lyu Liang had difficulty fighting several people with a short man as the leader, and Fairy Purple Phoenix directly broke the shield to help him get out. That was the first time. And then, during that desperate fight with Jue Luo, she also exerted all her power to fight for him.

The revenge for Zhu Yu’s death had been deeply stamped into Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul. He should have no hesitation in regarding both Night Dragon and Purple Phoenix as enemies. However, what Purple Phoenix had done was constantly weakening his firm Taoist Heart…

“There is no need to think too much now. She is sincere, so you should also treat her in the same way for now. Like I said, for whether or not you can pass Night Dragon’s test, she is the key factor!” Wen Xiaojing knew what Lyu Liang was worrying about. She said softly, “I know that you do not love her, so why don’t you just take her to be your friend? At least for the moment, finding out who the traitor is and changing the entire fighting situation are the most important things!”

“… I see!” Hearing her analysis, Lyu Liang became more resolute. Then he said caringly, “I’m leaving then. When I’m not here, you won’t go anywhere. After all, it’s quite possible that the two influential families in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa and that three Divine Realm would send people down here to attack us!”

“OK! I’ll just stay here and wait for you.” Wen Xiaojing nodded submissively. She also warned him, “Even with the help of Fairy Purple Phoenix, you still need to be very careful of Night Dragon. A man in that position will never be an easy person to deal with. If what I think is right, the real test will start after you two meet in person. Before you act, think carefully. If there is anything you are not sure of, we could discuss it after you come back. If you can’t get out for some reason, taking no risk is better than a rash move! Night Dragon’s trick is not something you can handle. Anything that is easy to get should be carefully considered. Before doing anything, set up a route of retreat. That would ensure that you could escape with your life even if you are exposed! You don’t need to worry about me. Qiangu is here. I’ll be OK.”

“… Oh, you realize that I’m also here!” Lin Qiangu muttered in a low voice. Then her eyes suddenly became sharp as she stood between them in one step and said to the dumbfounded Lyu Liang, “Boy, stop being a coward. Fight with me.”

“What?” Lyu Liang was stunned. Facing Lin Qiangu in high spirits, he rubbed his head and said, “I don’t think that’s necessary… You are really good, Miss Lin. I’ve taken a hit from you before…”

“Stop that nonsense! Are you a real man? Why would you be intimated by a challenge?” Lin Qiangu’s eyebrows lifted up as she said in a deep voice, “With this pool, even if I give you a dozen other hits, you can also make a quick recovery!”

“You…” Lyu Liang was too angry to speak. They were not enemies… Well, she had even saved his life, but how could she say something like that?

Lyu Liang didn’t fear a challenge. He just never expected to fight his own people at full strength. The moves he exerted were normally performed with great power, so he basically used them with great caution. To fight friends… he just couldn’t bring himself to do that. Besides, if anything bad happened to her, he wouldn’t know how to deal with that situation…

Lin Qiangu’s fighting power was only partially revealed when she was fighting Jue Luo, and Jue Luo had been even unable to fight back! Even though the fusion was not so perfect, Jue Luo at the time was still as capable as a God Ancestor…

“Now just tell me whether or not you will accept my challenge!” Lin Qiangu pulled Wen Xiaojing by the arm and said, “Xiaojing, he is a coward. You’re not getting any bright future with him!” Then she dragged Wen Xiaojing away, wanting to walk around Lyu Liang to leave.

“Wait a second!” Lyu Liang couldn’t stand it. He stretched out a hand to stop them. “Ok, I’ll fight with you! But, we should stop as soon as there is a winner, and never push too hard!”

“All right! If only you fight! Outside the Mu Family, there is an arena shielded with a restriction formation in the east. We’ll compete there! Don’t worry. Xiaojing will be the only one witness. So, you don’t need to feel too ashamed once you lose.” Lin Qiangu stopped there and gave him a wry smile.

“Well, see you at the arena!” Lyu Liang took a deep breath. After slightly cupping his fists, he was gone.

“Qiangu… why are you doing this? You still don’t trust me, do you?” Wen Xiaojing said softly.

“No, I trust you even more than myself! But, regarding Lyu Liang, I must test his strength myself!” Lin Qiangu said firmly. “I’m very clear about your purpose! So, I’m also doing this for you!”

“I know. Thank you, Qiangu!” Wen Xiaojing held Lin Qiangu’s hands with gratitude. Then she said with a complex expression, “There is really no need to use all your force in the fight later. In this situation, he won’t be a match for you. But, please trust me, if we were facing a battle concerning life and death, I’d say you would never defeat him!”

“That’s impossible! He’ll not be a match for me, no matter when!” Lin Qiangu was surprised to hear that. She replied with disaffection, “Even though he could trigger the power of Divine Prohibition, I also haven’t used my own trump card. There is no chance for him to defeat me! Do you have a reason for saying that?”

“If we were attacked here, who would you protect?” Wen Xiaojing asked a seemingly unrelated question.

“Of course I’d protect you!” Lin Qiangu was confused by her words, but answered her without hesitation anyway.

“If Lyu Liang heard this question…” a light was shining in Wen Xiaojing’s eyes, “he’d say that he would protect the entire Mu Family!”

“… I kind of understand what you mean. Interesting!” Lin Qiangu pondered for a while. Then her fighting intent grew much stronger. She smiled and said, “No one else in this world would be valued so much by you. I’m just looking forward to fighting with him! But, as you wish, I won’t push too hard. As long as he can take the power of my Limitation Bounds of Blood, he’ll pass my test!”

…

In the meantime, in the core secret realm in the branch of the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance, the conversation between father and daughter was coming to the end.

“Dad! It’s settled! Without him, I would have been a dead person now! He is not Zhu Yu! Even if you don’t care about the desperate fight between them before, he saved my life. That’s something that makes him deserve the title of a high-ranked alien minister!” Fairy Purple Phoenix pouted, shaking the sleeve of God Ancestor Night Dragon and protesting.

“OK! OK! OK! I’ll do as you tell me. Ah, my daughter has grown up and doesn’t take my side anymore!” God Ancestor Night Dragon shook his head bitterly.

“Thank you, Dad! Don’t worry, I’ll always be on your side!” Fairy Purple Phoenix exclaimed, just like a joyful rabbit. “I have to meet with Yan’er from the Ning Family. I have to go now. Don’t forget what you’ve promised me!” After that, she jumped her way out.

With another bitter laugh, God Ancestor Night Dragon returned to a calm state again. He coughed slightly, whereupon a tall, thin youth dressed in silver armor appeared after a flash of light.

He was handsome on some level, but a terrifying red scar stretched from his forehead to the corner of his left eye! And the expression of indifference on his face was exclusively owned by a Man of Sacrifice. It was interesting that he just nodded to God Ancestor Night Dragon out of politeness, but no respect could be seen on his face.

“Xiao Yi, is there any message from You Mang? It’s been a long time…” God Ancestor Night Dragon said softly without turning his head, “Lyu Liang is coming finally. About the task for Dark Wing, I’m afraid that you need to finish that for me now.”

“You Mang is indeed not that strong, but it’s still unreasonable for him to be delayed so long. In my opinion, he might have gotten into big trouble.” The youth nodded and said, “Lyu Liang is not a threat to me. As long as Wen Xiaojing doesn’t come, in consideration of his intelligence, he will not be a problem at all! I’m on it! Anyway, we’ve been at your service for some time. It’s time for my guys to do something for you! I just hope that Lyu Liang is not a total loser!”

“Actually, I hope that I’m worrying too much, because if it’s really necessary for you guys to take action…” God Ancestor Night Dragon paused with a complex expression on his face. Then he sighed and said, “Well, by that time, I will not be the only one feeling disappointed…”

“OK! Just let me find out who he is going to disappoint!” The youth sneered, with a flash of sharpness in his eyes. “Is it the Divine Auspice Cave? Evacuate all the people from the Dark Wing. I’ll send my guys to guard that place. But, I will only send the second and the third squads there, as the first squad has gone to the Chaotic Heaven Realm for a more interesting thing!”

“Are you against Zhu Yu, too?” God Ancestor Night Dragon was surprised by that fact. Then he said deeply, “Are you aware of the situation there? If possible, I don’t want to hear anything about Zhu Yu!”

“That’s my own business. Answering this kind of question is not included in our protocol. As for whether or not you will hear news about Zhu Yu… Haha…” The youth gave him a mysterious smile and disappeared.

“That’s really… a bunch of crazy people! Why did they come to me? Forget it. If only my goal can be reached, nothing else really matters!” God Ancestor Night Dragon nodded, turned around, and walked to the front of a blue wall deep inside. After a sigh, he vanished into the wall…

After one hour, at the junction between the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance and the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance, the youth with the scar appeared after a flash of brilliance. He glanced around, and his single eye became sharp when he faced east.

“You’ve perceived it?” A buzzing sound that was clearly converted from a normal voice was heard.

“Yeah! Don’t worry, the time is just right!” the youth said with a confident smile.

“Still be careful… We cannot afford to lose…” The sound was fading away. Before the sentence was finished, it was gone already.

“Puff!” The youth closed his eye and took a deep breath. When he opened his eye again, it looked very sharp. Clenching his fists, he said, “Old friend, you’re finally here… Don’t worry. Except for you and me, no one is going to survive this!”
