Chapter 104 Granted Wish

Twenty days earlier, Lyu Liang arrived at Southern Heaven District by the transportation formation in the Worry-Free Mansion. The place where he appeared was the Southern Heaven branch of the Worry-Free Mansion. It was not too far from the core area of the Nangong clan.

Even though Lyu Liang triggered the Devil Thunder Wing and executed the Kun Peng Skill, he still took more than ten days to reach his destination.

During this period, Lyu Liang was relieved that Fatty, who was inside his body, had been sleeping since he ate the carcass of the giant snake.

As soon as he reached the place where the Nangong clan was located, Lyu Liang sighed. No wonder this clan had the most prestigious existence in the Southern Heaven District. There were groups of buildings without any borders and a boundless formation that exuded absolute pressure. Undoubtedly, the force of the clan was one of the top ones in the Mortal Realm.

Just when Lyu Liang wondered how to go about looking for Nangong Qingxuan, two people who seemed to be guards of the Nangong clan, approached him. With just one glimpse, Lyu Liang was convinced that their cultivations were at the Peak of Void Return stage. They should be among the upper levels in any clan. However, here, in Nangong clan, they were only guards.

However, this was a misunderstanding by Lyu Liang. For most guards, the highest cultivation was the Early-stage of Void Return stage. Only with that level can one be the commander of the guards. The two he met were the peripheral members of the “Dragon Group”, the core secret force of the Nangong clan. They were in the vicinity, so they went over to take a look.

When Lyu Liang introduced himself and said that he wanted to see Nangong Qingxuan, the two guards who were initially rather arrogant, suddenly became respectful and their eyes brightened. One of them left, and the other quickly entered the big formation to deliver the message.

Lyu Liang felt quite awkward. He didn’t know if Nangong Qingxuan was present and still remembered the life and death situation they encountered together, over two hundred years ago. But soon, his doubts were dispelled.

In less than thirty minutes, the entrance of the big formation opened and five people rushed out. The first one was Nangong Qingxuan, who smiled happily. Looking at his appearance, except for being a bit calmer, he was no different from the past. Upon seeing Lyu Liang, he embraced him tightly!

Among the people behind him, Lyu Liang recognized two of them, namely, the hat man and the white-robed woman. They smiled and greeted Lyu Liang as well. Later, with Nangong Qingxuan as his guide, Lyu Liang followed him to the main hall of the Nangong clan. There, Nangong Tianxiong and a dignified, beautiful woman also stood up and greeted Lyu Liang.

“Haha, Junior Brother, I haven’t seen you for two hundred years, and you are only one step away from being a Fairy Immortal!” “Such a terrific speed of cultivation can no longer be described as belonging to that of a genius, no wonder you are the apple of Master’s eye!” Nangong Tianxiong said this in a joyful and deep voice.

Later, Nangong Tianxiong introduced Lyu Liang to the mother of Nangong Qingxuan and his elder brother, Nangong Qingyun. As for his younger brother who liked Pill Tao, it was said that he had his closed-door meditation ten years ago and had not come out since then.

After the initial catch up, Lyu Liang did not consider himself as an outsider and directly stated the intention of his trip.

“Dad, I must help my brother with this!” “I know that Ximen clan has a relationship in Central Heaven District, but we can’t fear them because of that!” Nangong Qingxuan stood up and showed his anger.

Nangong Tianxiong made a gesture to ask him sit down and thought for a moment. “Junior Brother, you would have heard about the reputation of Ximen clan.” Ximen Wentian, who was the chief of the Ximen clan, was an outstanding character. However, he has long been ignorant of the world. It is said that he was ready to advance to the Heaven Realm and had not appeared in front of the public for a long time. Now, the fourth son, Ximen Dongxue is currently missing and the remaining three sons are all greedy and lewd characters! “They are targeting your unmarried Taoist companion and it seems that they are determined to get her!”

Lyu Liang cupped his hands and said respectfully, “Ximen clan is a big family. I only want to get into the marriage-fight recruiting team. By then, whatever I do will not implicate Nangong clan at all!”

“Junior Brother, how can you say this? We will definitely support you, and even during normal times, we were never afraid of the Ximen clan!” “So what if they have a relationship with the Holy-Fist Palace in the Central Heaven District? I don’t really care!’ “Don’t worry. I will help you on this matter!” Nangong Tianxiong stated this firmly and turning to Nangong Qingyun, he said, “Qingyun, tomorrow is the day when you go to Kunlun clan for the meet up. “Go as planned, but when you list the statistics, you have to leave a space, and then report the identity of Lyu Liang in a few days, put him under the recommendation column, that will appear be more natural.”

Nangong Qingyun agreed and the matter was settled.

…

After that, it was time for Lyu Liang and Nangong Qingxuan to catch up.

In the past two hundred years, Nangong Qingxuan had changed. He had recuperated in the Dragon-Washing Pool for about eight years, and when he came out, he had a calm side to his character that he never had before. After greeting those who were close to him, he went straight to his father.

Father and son talked for three whole days. After that, Nangong Qingxuan entered the trial field of the Nangong clan. The lazy playboy, who used to dislike practicing and was always scheming on how to make his escape, was gone. Instead, he concentrated on his cultivation and for nearly a hundred years, he was like an ascetic monk.

If it was not for his mother who missed her son, Nangong Qingxuan did not plan to come out yet. He made a pact with the family that if there were no special circumstances, he would come out for a year every 50 years until he reached the level of Fairy Immortal!

Lyu Liang also told Nangong Qingxuan about the opportunities he had during this period, naturally attracting another round of sighs and praises.

While chatting, Nangong Qingyun returned from Kunlun clan, and informed the family about the previous negotiations.

When Lyu Liang heard that the two Saint Emperors, Rose finch and White Tiger were the judges, he sighed. “It seems that this marriage-fight recruitment is an important event in the Mortal Realm, otherwise, how can it attract the Saint Emperors of Demon Clan to attend?” Of course, if he saw the two Saint Emperors, surely his jaw would drop.

After staying at the Nangong clan for a month, all matters were confirmed. Lyu Liang also had new plans in his mind. He wanted an opportunity to meet Shangguan Ying before the contest to see if there was any chance to know what exactly had happened.

He learned this from Nangong Qingxuan. Phoenix Cloth Fairy was a disciple of Divine Phoenix Sect, the third-ranked strength of the Western-Heaven District, and was a pro-disciple of the chief Ancestor, Divine-Phoneix Master. Her identity and status were extraordinary.

As for how to enter the Divine Phoenix Sect and meet Phoenix Cloth Fairy, Lyu Liang did not intend to trouble the Nangong clan. After all, they had already done him a big favor by arranging for him to be in the recruitment team.

He also made up his mind, regardless of the outcome; he would not implicate Nangong clan.

A month later, Lyu Liang made up an excuse that he needed to do a bit of travelling and temporarily left the Nangong clan. He made a pact with Nangong Tianxiong that he would come back half a month before the contest. Then, together with the other seven people in the team of Southern Heaven District, he would be transported to Kunlun Sect by the transport formation.

“Dad, he should be taking advantage of this hundred-day time to find a way to meet Phoenix Cloth Fairy, shouldn’t he?” “Though he didn’t say it, I could guess it. You must know that too, why don’t you help him?” “If you help, he should be able to meet very easily…” Nangong Qingxuan looked at the back of Lyu Liang walking away and muttered.

Nangong Tianxiong grinned and whispered, “Xuan’er, if you can see that as well, how can I not know?” “You and Lyu Liang have this life and death relationship, and you should have some understanding of his personality” “Do you think that even if we proposed that we help him enter Divine Phoenix Sect easily, he will agree?”

Nangong Qingxuan shook his head and said helplessly, “Oh yeah, I hope he is all right!”

…

Western-Heaven District seemed to be a strange place for Lyu Liang. Through the transport formation in the Southern-Heaven branch of Worry-Free Mansion, he went directly to the place not far from Divine Phoenix Sect in Western-Heaven District.

Divine Phoenix Sect was a sect that only accepted women. Its strength ranked third in the entire Western-Heaven District, except for the Ximen clan. If it was to be compared based on the number of Almighty Immortals, the sect only had five, which were fewer than the fourth and fifth ranked sect was. However, the Ancestor of Divine Phoenix Sect, who was also the Master of Phoenix Cloth Fairy, was rumored to be beyond the Peak of Almighty Immortal and her strength was almost equal to the top powerful figures of the Central Heaven District.

It didn’t take long for Lyu Liang to find the place where the Divine Phoenix Sect was located. He did not rush in immediately, but let Black go in first to get a good survey of the situation inside, and then he would make a plan to sneak in.

It had been a whole five days since Black went inside. Just when Lyu Liang’s patience was nearing the critical point, Black came out and brought back the news that made Lyu Liang happy. It had met Phoenix Cloth Fairy and had made contact with her, confirming that this person was undoubtedly Shangguan Ying whom Lyu Liang had dreamed!

As for how to get in, Lyu Liang was stunned after hearing Black’s words, because the surrounding area of Phoenix Cloth Fairy really lacked any vigilance. There were only two disciples of Foundation Establishment who took turns to guard the place.

In any case, Lyu Liang did not hesitate any longer. On the night of Black’s return, he easily passed through the Sect-Protection Formation of Divine Phoenix Sect and sneaked into the place where Shangguan Ying was.

…

At this time, at the residence of Phoenix Cloth Fairy, a white-robed, silver-haired woman with a phoenix-headed cane, looked at Shangguan Ying tenderly, and spoke softly. “Ying’er, rest assured, I have removed the surrounding protection. After a while, your little lover will be here. Even if you do anything, you do not have to worry about being discovered. “I am so ashamed that I can only do this for you…”

“Master!” You are making me embarrassed!” “If you didn’t save me that year, I might have become a prisoner of the Ximen clan a long time ago.” “You did not hesitate to offend Ximen Xiayu and brought me to Divine Phoenix Sect. Moreover, you accepted me as a pro-disciple. Even if I die, I would never be able to repay your kindness!” Shangguan Ying shook her head and solemnly bowed to the old woman.

“Well, if it wasn’t for the fact that I owed Wushang Tao Master a big favor, even if I had to sacrifice myself, I must protect you well!” The old woman sighed helplessly, and then she took out a crystal clear blue vial from her arms and handed it to Shang Guanying, whispering, “This is the Eternal Ice Essence that you asked me before. I have already told you the function; do not use it till the last resort!”

Shangguan Ying was surprised, and she gently bowed to the old woman again. Her eyes were full of determination and she took the vial. “Master, thank you!” “If Ximen clan forced me to do anything unscrupulous, I would not let them get anything from me.” “Everything in my life is only for him!”

The old woman nodded, and a smile reappeared on her face. “The little guy is coming, and I shall not bother you anymore”. “Ying’er, rest assured, your Taoist companion is definitely not an ordinary person. One day, you will be able to unite and live together eternally!” When the old woman finished speaking, she disappeared from the room.

Shangguan Ying, who initially had a resolute look, now had an edgy look. Her body was shivering slightly, and her eyes were staring straight at the door.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and a white-robed youth came in. He quickly closed the door, and then he stared at Shangguan Ying.

Both of them had tears in their eyes, and they could even hear each other’s heavy breathing, they waited no longer and rushed forward at the same time, and hugged each other tightly.

After a long while, Lyu Liang lifted Shangguan Ying’s face and without any hesitation, kissed her forcefully.
