Chapter 151 Enemy and Friend

At night, a swift figure sneaked into the base of the Ghostly Fire Palace and then disappeared.

“Motherf****r, why is it so heavily guarded! I have detected Yang Ying’s location, but I have to pass through the road full of patrols who are beyond the Fairy Immortal level. It’s so troublesome!” Lyu Liang did not emit any aura and hid behind a giant stone, scolding in his heart.

“You went too far in the Wangui Sect, it would be weird if there were no precautions taken! Let me go instead to help you check out the situation first and see where the realm passage leads to.” Black volunteered to leave Lyu Liang and investigate.

A few hours later, Black returned and secretly transmitted a voice to Lyu Liang. “I do not know why, but Yang Ying is a prisoner now. She is locked in a dark cave in the far north. She is fine except for her weak aura. There is only one layer of restriction formation at the hole entrance, but no one is guarding it. As for the realm passage, it is heavily guarded too. In addition to the 12 Almighty Immortals at the Peak level, I also found a masked person who could be at the Tao Master level.”

Upon hearing the words, Lyu Liang’s heart tightened, and his mind was in chaos.

“Yang Ying was imprisoned? Why? She is one of the Ghostly-Fire Twelve Lords, and she is supposed to be at the top of the sect. Did she violate some taboo?”

On the other side of the realm passage, the enemy had prepared themselves well. It would be difficult for him to destroy the passage by himself alone.

In any case, since he was here, he had to see Yang Ying. If he encountered any life-threatening dangers, he would not mind creating a commotion now. Though he could not destroy the realm passage, he was able to save someone from it.

It would not be easy to sneak in without anyone knowing. He needed to plan it. Otherwise, he would have to make a feint to the east but attack in the west.

When Lyu Liang was pondering what to do, the patrol team not far from him stood suddenly and respectfully. A beautiful red-dressed woman appeared in front of them and seemed to be talking to them. Then, the patrol team went in various directions.

Lyu Liang was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed. After the red-dressed woman left, he gently jumped out and moved forward a distance before hiding in the place where the next patrol team appeared.

After a while, the red-dressed woman appeared again, and she still talked to the patrol team, who then went in various directions as well.

This time, Lyu Liang no longer believed in coincidence. If the first time was a coincidence, then that woman seemed to do it on purpose the second time! “Does she know my existence and purpose, and she did that to have the patrol teams leave so that I could conveniently go where Yang Ying is?”

When Lyu Liang frowned and contemplated, Black’s somewhat amazed voice sounded in his Divine Soul. “Liang, don’t you realize who this person is? You know her, but she is an enemy, not a friend.”

Lyu Liang was stunned, he didn’t pay attention to the appearance of this woman before. Now that Black reminded him, he examined her, and the expression on his face became vibrant and sophisticated.

This red-dressed woman was no stranger to Lyu Liang. Like Black had said, they had life-and-death enmity between them. She was Wen Ying, the woman who nearly killed Nangong Qingxuan that year.

For Lyu Liang, if someone stabbed him, there might be a chance for them to compromise. But if someone stabbed his friend or family, there was no possibility for compromise, even if Lyu Liang did not kill that person.

Lyu Liang’s eyebrows immediately raised up and a vicious color flashed through his eyes. Looking at his posture, he yearned to kill the other party right now. Of course, he was no longer a hot-headed guy. In any case, Wen Ying’s current movements were undoubtedly helping him.

Initially, he wondered if the other party had any intrigues and tricks to entice him. However, now Lyu Liang had no scruples. Instead, he wanted to see what Wen Ying was planning. If she targeted him, Lyu Liang would not mind killing her. In his mind, he did not pity a woman who was an enemy.

Over the next hour, Wen Ying led the patrol team away in front, and Lyu Liang followed suit indefinitely and finally arrived at a dark cave.

Wen Ying then took out a bright piece of jade from her bag, and when it touched the Bounded Domain restriction formation, lights flashed and she disappeared.

“Should I enter?” Lyu Liang wondered. From the guiding force of Yang Ying’s Life-Soul stone, she had to be inside. However, Wen Ying was inside as well, and she was a deadly enemy, so Lyu Liang had to be prepared!

After thinking about it, Lyu Liang ground his teeth and had the Human-Beast Unite with Black, and then he barged into the cave.

Lights flashed, and Lyu Liang held the Kunwu Sword and appeared in Spirit Armor, his face was full of alertness and he seemed ready to respond to sudden attacks.

Lyu Liang kept this posture for about 30 minutes. And after making sure there was no danger around him, he frowned and put the sword away, then strolled to the depths of the cave.

After a few bends in the twists and turns, faint lights flickered ahead. Lyu Liang calmed down and took the Kunwu Sword out again, triggered the Kun Peng Skill and Devil Thunder Wing, and immediately rushed out!

“You came, hehe, still so cautious.” When Lyu Liang rushed into the bright spot, Yang Ying’s familiar voice immediately resounded. Although it was a little weak, it revealed infinite joy.

At the end of the cave, the black-robed Yang Ying sat on the ground. Two silver chains crossed over her body, and Talisman-like fonts were flowing back and forth. Although her aura was at the Peak of Almighty Immortal, she had no Primordial Qi. She was disabled.

The red-dressed Wen Ying quietly stood beside Yang Ying, and had a complex expression on her face.

Lyu Liang’s anger surged up in an instant. Who was Yang Ying? She was the only person destined to Dumb! Who was Dumb? Dumb had no difference from Lyu Liang himself!

As a strong killing intent spread all over Lyu Liang’s body, he suddenly looked up at Wen Ying and moved his Kunwu Sword over.

“Lyu Liang, no! Do not kill sister Wen Ying. She is also a pitiful person like me! I gave her the Life-Soul stone to sense your presence and had her lead you here! She is one of us, cough cough…” Yang Ying spoke hastily. She said it so fast that she coughed violently.

Lyu Liang’s killing intent did not diminish as he went over to Yang Ying’s side. He took a glimpse at Wen Ying, and it seemed that if she made any unusual moves, he would kill her without any hesitation.

“Black, there seems to be a restriction formation on this chain, how do I break it?” Lyu Liang first took out a golden medicinal pill and had Yang Ying take it, and then he and Black studied the chains.

“Don’t bother trying to open them, and you can’t do it now. On top of this chain, there is a heart carving engraved by the Palace Lord of the Ghostly Fire Palace. If you break it by force, he will feel it!” Wen Ying was emotionless while she spoke. Also, her eyes showed firm and resolute colors.

After Yang Ying took the medicinal pill, she stopped coughing, and her face began to get rosy. When she saw Lyu Liang’s murderous eyes looking at Wen Ying, she hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, “Lyu Liang, listen to me, Wen Ying and I are sisters, she is not an evil person! Previously, it was a misunderstanding that she stabbed Nangong Qingxuan, she was also forced to do so. Moreover, it is because of her that you can come here smoothly, so why not turn the enemy into a friend?”

“Turn an enemy into a friend? When she stabbed Nangong Qingxuan, I vowed to kill her using my sword! At that time, if Qingxuan did not have the medicinal pill that protected his body and if the guards did not arrive in time, he would be dead now, with hell as a guide and a soul as a companion!” Lyu Liang’s killing intent declined, but he still gnashed his teeth.

At this time, what shocked Lyu Liang was that Wen Ying suddenly kneeled to the ground, and then held her fists together and said, “I know that what I have done is not worthy of your forgiveness. And when I didn’t know your strength that year, I wanted to kill you both. So, even if I am to die under your sword, I have no regrets! However, I beg you to consider my relationship with sister Ying, and I am willing to die to revive my mother and free my tribe!”

In Yang Ying’s current state, she couldn’t stop Lyu Liang. Looking at Wen Ying kneeling with a resolute look, Lyu Liang calmed down. Although he wanted to kill her, he compromised for the time being while he looked at Yang Ying’s sorrowful eyes, which could not be fake.

“Get up and talk! Give me a reason to be convinced to not kill you! Also, aren’t you from the Wen Clan? Why are you here? I saw that people of the Ghostly Fire Palace seemed to respect you a lot, so what is the identity of you and the Wen Clan? Your current cultivation is at the Late-stage of Almighty Immortal. Are you like Yang Ying and were hiding your cultivation that year?” Lyu Liang gnashed his teeth and kept his Kunwu Sword in his hand. He stood by Yang Ying and gave her a “rest assured, I will listen to her explanation” look.

It was only now that Wen Ying showed a color of hope in her eyes. She stood up and grinned. “Thank you for the opportunity to let me explain. But I understand the compensation for blood, so when I finish my story, take my life.”

“Sister, don’t seek death so easily. Don’t you want to see the moment your mother is resurrected? Lyu Liang is not someone who enjoys killing. As long as you are no longer an enemy of his in the future, and look for an opportunity to go to the Nangong family to admit to your mistakes, we can still be friends!” Yang Ying’s voice was still hurried. One was the destined person whom she would follow for her whole life, and the other was her good sister who grew up with her. She did not want to see these two in this hostile state.

At this time, Lyu Liang took a deep breath, kept his killing intent down and said, “Yang Ying is right. The person you stabbed is Qingxuan. If he can forgive you, I will not kill you. But if he refuses to spare you, then between us, one has to die!”

In fact, when Lyu Liang said this, he already ruled out the possibility of killing Wen Ying. He knew Nangong Qingxuan’s character, and he was not a vengeful person. If Wen Ying changed and had become a good person, went to him and apologized, that kid would surely forgive her. Although the matter would eventually end this way, he still needed to say those words first. He had to make sure that Wen Ying knew about her fault!
