Chapter 154

"Where did this villain come from!" Liang Yiliu was about to go out to fight with a frown on her face, when she suddenly thought of her disciple beside her. She frowned and quickly made a decision in her mind.

She let Zhou Li sleep with her at night because she was afraid of the danger in this remote wilderness.

"You stay here. I'll be back after I deal with the scum outside!" Liang Yiliu quickly set up a barrier around Zhou Li so that she could rush back quickly if Zhou Li was in danger. She also gave Zhou Li a defensive magic weapon before going out to see who had the guts to attack her!

Dark clouds blocked the moonlight, limiting visibility. A strong smell of blood could be smelled in the nose. Liang Yiliu narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly scanned with his spiritual sense. In the world that could not be seen by the eyes, it was filled with countless blood-colored threads.

Liang Yiliu smiled slightly. How dare he show off his skills in front of her? She pointed her right hand as a sword and hummed a sword. Suddenly, the darkness was illuminated by the silver sword light. A sword net woven by countless sharp swords broke the blood formation in front of her with just one sword. The black-clothed man on the tree not far away vomited blood and thought it was not good. But before he could move, a sharp sword pierced his heart and his body turned into a blood mist and he had no power to resist.

Liang Yiliu was about to turn around when she suddenly let out a strange "hmm". She tapped her toes lightly and quickly flew into the sky. She went to the place where she had just killed the man in black and picked up a blood-red token on the ground. She looked at the token with an uncertain expression. It turned out to be the token of the long-lost Demon Sect.

In the Tianyuan Continent, in addition to mortals and immortal cultivators, there are also demons and monsters. Three thousand years ago, the demons colluded with the monsters to try to destroy the world of immortal cultivators. When the flames of war spread to the mortal world, countless people were killed and injured. It was the five major sects and countless independent cultivators who sealed the demons and monsters in the demon world. Now there was a trace of the demon sect in the world again. Liang Yiliu was a little uneasy for a moment. She was looking at the token from left to right, and suddenly she was alert. She immediately got up and went back, but she saw that there was a big hole in the barrier she had set up, and her disciple had been abducted long ago!

Liang Yiliu laughed in anger. It had been years since anyone had dared to be so presumptuous in front of her! This demon had successfully ignited her anger!

Zhou Li was drowsy and was taken away by a black whirlwind.

When she heard the sound at first, she thought it was the devil coming back. But she was not happy for long. Then she saw a cloud of blood mist floating over, which quickly melted the barrier set up by the devil. Before Zhou Li could be surprised, she heard a few greedy laughs.

"The demon is mine!"

A gust of fishy wind blew past, and she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by pain.

Zhou Li was placed in a large formation. The blood in her body was constantly flowing out and into the formation below her. She was pale and tried to struggle, but found that her hands and feet were tied with transparent silk threads, and she was lying in a spread-eagle position in the circular formation.

Zhou Li felt dizzy and her face was pale. She moved her body weakly, her hands and feet felt cold, and her vision was black.

Zhou Li didn't expect that she would be so unlucky. Just because she went out with the Demon King, she would be kidnapped and bled by bad guys. She had witnessed how terrible the world of cultivating immortals was.

Zhou Li was daydreaming when suddenly a voice sounded above his head: "The demon has woken up."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Li said weakly, "What demon?"

"Hehehe, you don't know?" The man laughed. "A demon born to bring destruction wherever he goes, you don't even know you're a demon? Or have you been hanging out with those hypocritical cultivators and forgotten your mission? The demon has been born! This is the year for the great rise of our demon race! I need you to open the gate to the demon world!"

The man raised his hands enthusiastically, "I have waited for this moment for three hundred years! The demons will finally descend upon this world and flatten the Tianyuan Continent!"

What a mess! Zhou Li was so dizzy she couldn't think straight. She could only sense the madness of the man before her. She wondered if she was about to bleed dry. She regretted taking this assignment. It had been a supposed retirement vacation, but now she was thrust into a dangerous world. Barely a month in, she was about to die and return. She feared she was the most disgraceful employee of the current Fast Travel Bureau. Zhou Li pondered, her consciousness sinking into darkness amid the man's insane cries.

When Zhou Li just lost consciousness, the blood flowing out of her body suddenly emitted a faint red light and began to flow back into her body. Then her blood, flesh and meridians lit up with faint red light one after another.

"What?" The bad guy who was still laughing had his smile frozen on his face. Before he could get close to Zhou Li, the wind suddenly blew up out of nowhere. The wind around Zhou Li's body became stronger and stronger, and the man was so dazed that he couldn't open his eyes.

The bad guy yelled with a ferocious look on his face: "No!!!"

The whirlwind suddenly stopped for a second, and then consciously blew towards him. The person who could perform a trick under the hands of the Qingyun Sword Master was blew into minced meat without any ability to fight back. The flesh and blood were all swallowed by the whirlwind and turned into a wisp of nourishing blood and energy that filled Zhou Li's body.

The broken lines on her body connected into one piece, and each piece was flashing red light. Zhou Li took a deep breath and was suddenly awakened.

She opened her eyes and looked at the normal world in front of her. She raised her hand and found that not a piece of flesh had fallen off her body. She pinched her face hard and felt the pain.

Was the conversation just now a dream?

Zhou Li looked confused.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the cave was destroyed. Amidst the trembling earth and mountains, Zhou Li heard a familiar voice: "Disciple?"

"Master, I'm here!" Zhou Li waved happily. Liang Yiliu flew over and scanned her body with his spiritual sense. Finding that she was intact, he picked up Zhou Li and flew out. As she left, the cave that had just been suppressed by the spiritual sense and stopped shaking collapsed.

Zhou Li huddled in Liang Yiliu's arms, a small ball that made Liang Yiliu's heart melt. She had never been so panicked before, not even when she learned that she had fallen into a bottleneck in her cultivation. Her disciple was only eight years old and had only reached the first level of Qi training. She was afraid that he would turn into a handful of blood mist that would nourish the world before he could withstand a single move from the opponent. Liang Yiliu prepared for the worst and rushed over as quickly as possible, but she did not expect to see Zhou Li's intact body.

As she flew, she channeled her spiritual energy into Zhou Li's body and discovered that not only was she unharmed, but her spiritual energy had actually grown considerably. Liang Yiliu looked at Zhou Li in shock. Zhou Li nestled in the Demon King's arms, looking aggrieved, and complained, "Master, didn't you say there was a barrier to protect me? How did I end up here the moment I opened my eyes? That bad guy just scared me to death."

Zhou Li patted his chest. Liang Yiliu frowned and asked, "What happened when you woke up? Where are the people who kidnapped you?"

Zhou Li was also a little confused. Her eyes were clear, and Liang Yiliu looked into them and saw a reflection as clear as water.

Zhou Li explained everything in detail: "I don't know either. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a large formation. The other party wanted to draw my blood to activate some formation. Then I fainted. When I woke up again, the bad guy was gone. Master, you came to save me."

Zhou Li tried hard to make the Demon King believe her, speaking half truths and half lies. She didn't dare to tell him that he called her Demon Child and wanted to open the door to the Demon Realm. Even though she was just a novice in the world of immortal cultivation, she knew that immortals and demons could not coexist since ancient times. If the Demon King knew about this, he would probably kill her before he even became a demon.

Liang Yiliu naturally wouldn't believe everything Zhou Li said. After all, they had only known each other for a month. While Zhou Li was talking, she extended her spiritual sense and searched the entire cave. She indeed found no trace of the demon, but there was indeed a teleportation array on the ground. Seeing the bloodstain on it, she sneered and wiped it away with her spiritual sense. Then she looked at Zhou Li with deep eyes, which made Zhou Li feel terrified. Liang Yiliu said, "He must have been accidentally attacked by the array."

"Is that so? He deserves it." Zhou Li wrinkled her nose. Liang Yiliu just held her tightly and flew towards the nearest city. At the same time, she also had doubts in her heart.

What is the identity of her apprentice? Why would he rather destroy one of his clones than kidnap Zhou Li?

Liang Yiliu intuitively felt that there was an unusual secret here, but now that her apprentice had found it, the previous incident could not happen again. Liang Yiliu took Zhou Li into the city and went directly to the place where magic tools were sold with great wealth. She armed Zhou Li from head to toe. Only then did Zhou Li see what it meant to spend money like water. What she had said before seemed to be slapping her in the face. Zhou Li was happy and joyful.

After arming the little disciple, Liang Yiliu looked at the time. It was already daybreak. Immortal cultivators don't need to sleep, but Liang Yiliu took a break because she was considerate of Zhou Li. However, the accident delayed her break, so Liang Yiliu simply didn't rest and picked up Zhou Li. Zhou Li grabbed the clothes on the Demon King's chest and fell asleep in her arms. Liang Yiliu raised a protective shield on her body to block the strong wind around her.

Zhou Li was able to hold on and not sleep at first, but gradually his eyelids drooped, and then he began to breathe evenly and fell asleep directly in Liang Yiliu's arms.

Liang Yiliu glanced down at the little disciple in her arms, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and without hesitation, her figure floated across the sky like a layer of mist. Before people on the ground saw her, she had walked several thousand meters in one step. The strength of the big man with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage was so terrifying that when Zhou Li woke up again, he had already arrived at the Weapon Sect.

She listened to the birds singing and gradually opened her eyes. She found that she was going up the mountain. In front of her was a big bird with yellow feathers and fluffy hairs on its neck. It was flapping its wings and carrying a guest up the mountain.

Zhou Li looked down at the towering mountains and was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. Then he realized there was a hand on his waist. The Demon King was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and Zhou Li was in her arms.

"Awake." Liang Yiliu said calmly, "We have arrived at Shangyuan Sect."

Shangyuan Sect is the Sect of Weapons, but their sect uses weapons to defeat the enemy, and they also forge magical weapons to sell. Over time, it has been called the Sect of Weapons. In the Tianyuan Continent, there is a Sect of Weapons and a Sect of Medicine, which can be said to be a very wealthy sect.

Zhou Li opened her eyes wide, shocked by the majestic mountains in front of her. She originally thought that Wuji Sect was enough to shock her, but compared with Shangyuan Sect, Wuji Sect still looked small. In the distance, there was a group of golden roofs connected together, and the rubble reflected the sunlight, golden like the ocean. A flock of birds flew out from high above, and the spiritual energy that came to her face was so rich that Zhou Li almost got drunk with just one breath. Mortals can get drunk, but Zhou Li never thought that one day she would also get drunk with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was really too rich, like a fairyland, and her pores grew greedily to absorb it. Zhou Li felt that her realm was loosening again.

Liang Yiliu glanced at the disciple in her arms and also felt Zhou Li's loosened state, but she was not in a hurry. She brought Zhou Li out this time to learn sword skills. As the disciple of the Qingyun Sword Master, she must learn to use the sword.

Zhou Li must comprehend his own sword intent.

People say that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear, and the same is true for practicing swordsmanship.

Zhou Li’s sword bone has not yet appeared, but watching the sword masters in the world use swords will definitely lay the foundation for her own swordsmanship.

The west wind started to blow, and before reaching the destination, a sword gust of wind slashed over from afar, and a hearty laugh came from the distance, "Look at my move!"

Liang Yiliu slapped the bird's body and flew into the air. With only two fingers, she took the opponent's killing move. If she didn't take it, the opponent's sword would have chopped her in front of her. Zhou Li was locked in by the sword energy and was frightened so much that her body stiffened. The yellow bird carrying her was also frightened and let out a high-pitched cry. It flapped its wings and flew with all its might. Liang Yiliu happened to borrow some spiritual energy from it and successfully brought Zhou Li to the front of the hall.

Zhou Li was taken over by his subordinates. Someone angrily scolded him, "What if this arrogant boy hurts someone? The Qingyun Sword Master just arrived! How can you treat a guest like this?"

Before Zhou Li could recover from his shock, he saw a flash of sword light in the sky, and the person who had chopped out the sword light also appeared. It was a man who looked very much like a scholar. He looked very gentle and elegant, and did not look like someone who could do such a crude sneak attack.

Liang Yiliu knew him very well. He was confident that he could control the momentum and also felt that Liang Yiliu could block it. The previous attack was only 50% of his strength.

Both of them were at the Nascent Soul stage, and their aura continued to grow as they floated in the sky.

"Oh no! They're going to fight here! Quick! Raise the mountain protection formation!"

The person who had just taken Zhou Li off the yellow bird rushed to help in a panic. An invisible barrier rose up, and Zhou Li suddenly felt his body relax. The pricking pain caused by the aura of the two people disappeared.

Zhou Li widened her eyes and saw that the Demon King finally made a move. She moved extremely quickly. As soon as the silver-white light appeared, it penetrated the air like a ray of light and instantly reached behind the opponent. In a world that Zhou Li could not see, the two of them exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant.

A silver-haired old man flew out from the hall, angrily cursed "bastard", and released a stream of spiritual energy to strengthen the barrier, so that the disciples below would not have to work so hard and could watch the two masters fight well.

Zhou Li's cultivation was too low. She could only see the two people move and then exchange positions. She could not see anything else. However, the sword intent flowing in the air and the collision of sword intent still made her think deeply. Suddenly, a familiar shout came from the sky: "Swords come!"

Zhou Li opened his eyes wide instantly. Countless spiritual swords formed a big sword that seemed to be able to pierce through the sky!

As the greatsword emerged, all things wailed. Lightning streamed faintly from the depths of the dark clouds, striking the tip of the sword! At that moment, the greatsword slashed across. The wind stilled, the trees stilled, and a flash of lightning and a roar of explosions roared. Zhou Li's eyes were blinded by the flash, and he was temporarily blinded and his ears were deafened.

what happened?

Zhou Li stood there in a daze, feeling panic in his heart.

Her sight gradually returned, and the sounds in her ears also returned. She saw the handsome man leaning on his sword and laughing heartily, his clothes torn into rags. He smiled while wearing the rags, "I'm still not as good as you, but you're not going to be able to do it either."

Zhou Li was horrified and looked at the Demon King in the sky. There were lightning and thunder above the Demon King's head, and the thunder tribulation was about to strike, but it dissipated in just a few breaths.

Liang Yiliu's five senses were bleeding. Because of this battle, the spiritual energy that had been suppressed in her body began to continuously absorb the rich spiritual energy accumulated between heaven and earth due to the thunder tribulation. This spiritual energy was a tonic for others, but it was poison for Liang Yiliu. Her meridians were filled, and the Nascent Soul figurine that came out of her Dantian had eaten so much that she became a fat man, and she was still absorbing without stopping!

"Master!" Zhou Li's weak cry made Liang Yiliu try hard to support himself.

She didn't expect that just an ordinary battle could attract thunder. It seemed that the opponent was about to break through.

Liang Yiliu made hand gestures, trying to cut off the absorption of the heavenly spirit body, but it could only slow down the absorption. Moreover, the spiritual energy that appeared in the thunder tribulation just now exceeded the amount that her body could absorb. She could not break through and would only be burst by the spiritual energy. Liang Yiliu did not expect that today would be her death day. She thought she could live for a long time and at least teach her disciple the Qingyun sword technique completely.

Not wanting to scare Zhou Li, Liang Yiliu used a sleight of hand. She came down from a high altitude, and the people around her couldn't help but take a step back. Even the elders of Shangyuan Sect were terrified, because if a master in the Nascent Soul stage exposed himself, it would threaten everyone within a hundred miles, and even he would not be able to avoid being hurt.

Zhou Li's cultivation level was low, so she couldn't see what had just happened to Liang Yiliu. However, she instinctively knew that something was wrong with the Demon King. She rushed over, held the Demon King's hand, and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Liang Yiliu smiled, her features still bleeding behind the illusion. She held Zhou Li's hand and said, "Master needs to go into seclusion. I'll have someone from Shangyuan Sect take you back later. Master may be away for a while. You should go back to the sect and practice well. Don't let down the headmaster's expectations."

"Master..." Zhou Li held the Demon King's hand with some worry. Listening to the Demon King's words, she felt as if she was giving instructions for her final wishes. She said uncomfortably, "Aren't you going back with me? Master, I'm scared..."

Listening to his disciple's words, Liang Yiliu squatted down, and the blood oozing from his facial features gathered at his chin, dripping onto Zhou Li's hand. Zhou Li looked down and saw a spot of bright red on her fair hand, followed by drops after drops. She said in horror: "Master, you are injured!"

"I'm fine. Go back and listen to what the headmaster says..."

Liang Yiliu was about to comfort her little disciple, fearing that she would be frightened by this incident, when suddenly her eyes fixed, and her blood dripped onto Zhou Li's hand, as if some inexplicable connection had been established with the other party. The few drops of blood suddenly disappeared, as if they had been absorbed. She held her little disciple's hand, and spiritual energy was continuously transmitted into the disciple's body through the fingertips of the two.

When Zhou Li raised her eyes, they had turned red, with tears embedded in her eye sockets. It didn't look strange, as if she had cried so much that her eyes turned red.

Zhou Li didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly felt a stinging sensation in her eyes. What made her even more panicked was that she could feel the spiritual energy continuously being transmitted into her body through the touching fingertips of the two people. It was as if there was a vortex in her body, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy that should not belong to her, and those broken lines gradually appeared on her naked skin.

Liang Yiliu pressed her into his arms. She said in a hoarse voice, "Please, please prepare a retreat room for me. I need to retreat!"

After hearing the message from the Qingyun Sword Master, the other party quickly opened a hilltop. Liang Yiliu picked up Zhou Li and flew over. At this time, Zhou Li had been knocked unconscious by the powerful spiritual power in Liang Yiliu's body.

When they arrived at the retreat room, Liang Yiliu stripped his little disciple naked and saw the terrifying demonic patterns covering Zhou Li's entire body.
