The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 176 Spirit Servers of Remote Antiquity

“Aren’t you worried about Zhu Yan? Why aren’t we waiting for him?” Liu Jiawen was curious why Lyu Liang left at once when he was just out of danger.

“Well, brother Zhu is very powerful, and he masters the space method very well, so we don’t need to worry about him. Anyway, we will meet him again. Let’s go and see what lies ahead.” Lyu Liang walked ahead without looking back, so Liu Jiawen could only follow him, pouting with her lips.

After they jumped into the swirl, they arrived in a boundless grassland. The sky was still gray and gloomy, but there was no space crack or turbulence.

Not knowing how, he had been hearing a distinct, female voice calling him since he came here, and it was somehow similar to Shangguan Ying’s!

When Lyu Liang asked Liu Jiawen if she could hear the voice, she said no, and teased him that he missed his Taoist companion so much.

Lyu Liang wanted to refute her, but the voice disappeared suddenly, so he didn’t say anything else.

In this vast grassland, they didn’t know where to go. When they tried to search this place through their Divine Senses, they found that it was enveloped by a weird fog. Anyway, they couldn’t see a way out.

About two and a half hours later, the voice sounded again. Lyu Liang listened to it carefully, and found that it seemed to come from behind. So he flew back at once, and was surprised to find that the voice became somehow clearer.

“I think that the voice is not vicious, and it seems to be guiding us. Why don’t we follow it?” After thinking for a while, Lyu Liang put forward a constructive suggestion.

“Follow the voice? What if it is a trap? How do you know whether a voice is vicious or not? A voice that sounds like Shangguan Ying’s?” Liu Jiawen believed that Lyu Liang had really heard the voice, but she was doubtful about his suggestion.

Lyu Liang shrugged his shoulders resignedly and said, “What else can we do? We can’t stay in this desolate wilderness forever! “As you can see, there’s no guidance at all. We’d better follow the voice rather than waste our energy and time on exploration. If we encounter any danger, we can escape at once.”

Rolling her eyes, Liu Jiawen let out a sigh and agreed to his suggestion. But just as she rose, she screamed somehow in panic, “Ah! My, my cultivation! Why has it fallen below the Fairy Immortal level again?!”

Lyu Liang was stunned and checked his cultivation at once. But he found that he was still at the Early-stage of Xuan Immortal, and didn’t feel any discomfort. However, Liu Jiawen’s aura had fallen to the Peak of Void Return in a second.

When they just arrived in the grassland, Liu Jiawen’s cultivation remained at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. Why did it fall back within half an hour?

Lyu Liang frowned and thought for a while. Then, he whispered to himself, “Could it be that the fruit has lost its effect? But why hasn’t my cultivation fallen back? Does it have anything to do with the Immortal Emperor?”

Anyhow, this thing had happened, and they also calmed down after a moment. After a discussion, Liu Jiawen went into Lyu Liang’s cave residence. As such, she wouldn’t distract Lyu Liang’s attention if any accident happened.

When it was just him on the grassland, Lyu Liang took a deep breath, then followed that familiar voice at once.

The voice was intermittent, and it seemed to come from different directions. Therefore, Lyu Liang followed it when it sounded, and took a rest when it stopped.

After nearly an hour, Lyu Liang finally arrived in front of a foggy place. He touched it with his hand and found that he could go through it. Although he didn’t know whether it was dangerous or not, the clearer voice persuaded him to go ahead.

That was because he had confirmed that its tone and timbre were precisely the same as Shangguan Ying’s. Then, he walked into the fog without hesitation.

But just when he stepped in, he heard Liu Jiawen’s squeal at once. The next second, she fell on the ground beside him with a look of surprise on her face.

“I was dragged out of your cave residence by a strange force!” Lyu Liang was stunned, and Liu Jiawen jumped up hastily. But no matter how they tried, she couldn’t enter his cave residence again.

Then, something more troublesome followed. That emotionless voice sounded again: “People beyond the Donghuang family have broken into the seal. Launch the killing mechanism!”

After it had said this, a gust of auras began churning in the fog, and then, several paper men appeared. Yet, unlike those they had met in the passage, these paper men wore the Spirit Armor and held various weapons in their hands. Besides, their lowest auras were at the Early-stage of Almighty Immortal, and their highest ones were at the Peak of Almighty Immortal.

While Lyu Liang was stunned, Liu Jiawen cried out, “Spirit servers! They must be spirit servers of the Han family! Run! Don’t fight!”

In front of Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen were 10 paper men of different colors, whose cultivation was acceptable for Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang planned to kill all of them, stimulating a Soul Breaking Palm on his hand. However, hearing Liu Jiawen’s determined and panicky voice, he changed his mind immediately. Then, he carried her on his shoulder without asking her approval, and began flying toward that familiar voice.

Liu Jiawen did not object to him at all, and instead explained to him, “There’s a sign of the Han family on them, so they must be their spirit servers, and they seemed to at a very high level! If I’m not wrong, once you kill a spirit server, a new one about two levels higher will appear unless you can destroy all 10 of them at the same time!”

Hearing Liu Jiawen’s explanation, Lyu Liang was also startled, and thought, “Kill all of them at the same time? They are scattered, and they move very fast. Even if I stimulate three Soul Breaking Palms, it’s still hard to do that at the same time! So, I’d better escape!”

He stimulated both the Kun Peng Skill and the Devil Thunder Wing, and also put on the Spirit Armor. Leaving a shadow behind, he disappeared in a flash. Those 10 spirit servers also caught up at once, at a speed slightly lower than Lyu Liang’s.

Lyu Liang flew at full speed, and the spirit servers also chased behind him tightly. The voice seemed to know that Lyu Liang was in trouble, and kept calling him over with a single word, “here.”

After half an hour, Lyu Liang was still in the fog, not knowing how far he had flown. However, he vaguely saw an enormous fortress in the fog, which was like a tower, yet much wider.

Undoubtedly, the voice was coming from the fortress. After flying for less than half an hour, a filmy layer of golden gauze appeared in front of him, and the outline of the building was clear behind it.

Then, Lyu Liang was stunned by what he saw. It was an awesome armed fortress, nearly 200 meters high, with almost a thousand huge cannons all around it!

At the same time, the figures of the 10 spirit servers loomed up behind him. Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and rushed at the golden gauze directly. As a result, he got through it with ease, while Liu Jiawen was blocked on the other side...

Lyu Liang was surprised, and turned back at once to get Liu Jiawen across the gauze. But still, he failed! Now that he couldn’t get Liu Jiawen inside the fortress or his cave residence, Lyu Liang decided to fight with the spirit servers!

Those spirit servers had approached them and apparently targeted Liu Jiawen. However, they ignored Lyu Liang, and even when they flew past him, they didn’t bother to toss him a glance.

At that moment, Lyu Liang stimulated a Soul Breaking Palm as a shield for Liu Jiawen. Then, he made another two Soul Breaking Palms, trying to kill these 10 spirit servers at the same time.

But soon after, Lyu Liang realized that it was impossible to finish the task at all. The 10 spirit servers seemed to know their weakness, and four of them below the Late-stage of Almighty Immortal even began a long-range attack from the distance, while the other six with higher cultivation gathered around Liu Jiawen and began bombarding her.

The Soul Breaking Palm was indeed powerful, but it also required high consumption of the Divine Soul power and the Devil Immortal Qi. Although Lyu Liang could hold on for two hours, it would become more dangerous if he were to be trapped for longer.

An hour passed by very quickly, during which Lyu Liang was beaten heavily, while he didn’t dare to kill any spirit server. Although he was robust, he became somewhat exhausted after consuming so much Divine Soul power and Devil Immortal Qi.

The sweat was pouring off Lyu Liang, but he gritted his teeth and struggled hard against the spirit servers. Looking at him, Liu Jiawen shed her tears unconsciously, and cried out suddenly, “Idiot! Leave me alone! Go! I still can begin a new life! There is a Life Soul of mine in my family, and reincarnation is feasible in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa!”

Hearing her words, Lyu Liang didn’t change his mind at all. He replied without looking back, “After reincarnation, could you still be Liu Jiawen? I won’t let you die here, or I’m not Lyu Liang!”

She stared at Lyu Liang with her lips quivering, and she couldn’t say anything at that moment. After a few minutes, she whispered to herself, “The Tianxuan Holy Rattan first, and now this critical moment... Could he really be the one in grandpa’s prophesy?”

At that moment, nothing could change Lyu Liang’s mind. Anyway, these spirit servers targeted only Liu Jiawen, and all he could do was protect her. He wouldn’t give up until the last second!

During over an hour of fighting, he also found an interesting point. When he killed a spirit server at the Early-stage of Almighty Immortal by accident, a new one at the Late-stage of Almighty Immortal appeared. The new spirit server gave up the long-range attack, and joined the melee battle instead!

A bold idea struck Lyu Liang at once! After two and a half hours, a Soul Breaking Palm killed all of three spirit servers in the distance in a flash.

Liu Jiawen squealed subconsciously. “Why, why did you kill all of them...”

At the same time, two spirit servers at the Peak of Almighty Immortal and one at the Late-stage Almighty Immortal appeared and flew at Liu Jiawen in no time.

When Liu Jiawen was startled, the Soul Breaking Palm in front of her disappeared suddenly, and Lyu Liang emerged, holding her tightly in his arms.

Liu Jiawen was totally confused by Lyu Liang’s behavior and thought he was coming on to her. But after she knew his intentions, she felt grieved for him.

Lyu Liang’s broad shoulders protected Liu Jiawen completely, leaving his back defenseless, which was where the 10 spirit servers hacked at toughly!

Even though Lyu Liang was quite robust, he couldn’t withstand the strong attacks and spat out blood directly.

“Holy sh*t! Why are these paper men holding divine weapons above the immortal standard?!” Lyu Liang cursed, still holding Liu Jiawen tightly.

Meanwhile, Liu Jiawen was surprisingly quiet, snuggling up to Lyu Liang. Not knowing why, she had great confidence in this “idiot.” Or, even if both of them died at this moment, she could accept it calmly.

Then, the 10 spirit servers were about to launch another attack, getting closer to Lyu Liang.

“Right now!” Lyu Liang roared suddenly, with his right hand shoving the spirit servers behind him. The next second, a destructive aura burst out.

At the same time, Lyu Liang tumbled on the ground with Liu Jiawen. The reacting forces created by the aura threw them into the air in an instant, during which Lyu Liang had been holding Liu Jiawen tightly.

After a moment, the smoke dissipated, and an eerie silence fell upon the scene. The spirit servers had disappeared totally, while Lyu Liang was lying still on the ground. At the same time, Liu Jiawen struggled to climb out under his body, and then she held him in her arms, crying excitedly, “Idiot!” “You are so awesome! You are so great! You have killed the 10 spirit servers with one blow! As such, you can almost rival brother Zhu!”

With a weak aura, Lyu Liang tried hard to open his eyes, and he smiled with relief.

But just at that moment, with a deep roar, the golden gauze disappeared, and the fog also dissipated gradually. The gate of the fortress opened suddenly, from which a giant, eight-armed, single-eyed puppet walked out slowly. Each of its arms was holding a sword with a cold light, which, judging by the aura, was absolutely a magic treasure at the Pure-yang level. And this puppet had cultivation at the Early-stage of Tao Master.

Then, in an emotionless voice that had brought them trouble, the giant puppet uttered, “The core area is invaded! I’m the first protector of the seal. Two invaders detected. Killing begins!”
