Chapter 292 - Orphan of the Dark Night Family
Chapter 292: Orphan of the Dark Night Family
Lyu Liang did not even know how he managed to return to his cave residence. He was in such a confused state at this moment. The words of Feng Mazi stabbed his heart like a sharp knife, making it extremely painful.
The long-lost sense of helplessness once again attacked him. The last time he was in such a situation was when he first entered the Virtual Land, and was defeated in the first fight in the Training Tower…
“Slap! Slap!” Lyu Liang suddenly slapped himself twice, and the palm marks on his face were very distinct!
“Man Zi!”
“Little Liang!”
“Boy! Are you crazy?”
……
All the intimate friends with Lyu Liang, including Linglong and the divine beasts were startled, and they were confused by such an act of self-injury by Lyu Liang.
“I’m ok, I just want to calm down. Don’t worry.” Lyu Liang said, “I just want to cool myself down. After all, we were ambushed twice, so I have to think carefully about our following plan.”
Of course, those were only excuses from Lyu Liang. He really began to calm down, yet there was a kind of estrangement, that he himself was even unwilling to admit, that began to form in his heart.
“What I have said is a bit absolute. After all, I am not you, and as for those people and beasts, they have followed you during different periods, so there must be someone you can trust. You think about who is trustworthy. If you think of one, you can have a talk with this one. Finally, as a man of experience, I want to warn you that trust does not mean having no doubt! In this world, the only one that you can absolutely trust is yourself!” The last words of Feng Mazi resounded in Lyu Liang’s mind.
“Yes… there must be someone that I can talk with… ” Lyu Liang clenched his fists and shook his head. A resolute look gradually appeared in his eyes.
“Senior White, I have something to talk to you, only you and me!” This was the first time that Lyu Liang secretly transmitted a voice message to White alone. Previously he directly transmitted a voice message to the two divine realms.
White was the only one that he could trust unconditionally. His cultivation had been saved by him, nothing else could be a better proof of his innocence.
“Oh? No problem! From that moment on, I could feel that you were worrying about something. Since you only transmitted a voice message to me… are you on your guard against someone in the divine realms?” White was really wise, and immediately guessed the truth.
At this moment, Lyu Liang had totally calmed down, which was due to his resolute Taoist Heart, that had been constantly revived. He did not hold back anything, and directly confessed about his talk with Feng Mazi.
White just listened quietly, and from time to time, he would nod his head during Lyu Liang’s narration. He was extremely calm. After Lyu Liang finished, he then slowly said, “He is right. Actually that’s what I also wanted to tell you, but he did it first. Good! In such a cunning and cruel big world, you really have the good fortune of being able to still find such a trustworthy friend.”
Lyu Liang nodded vehemently. Actually, what Feng Mazi said sometimes turned over in his subconscious, but he was unwilling to face it.
As for what he had said, the first attack could be called a coincidence, and the second time… was basically an inevitable one!
“I think that we should first define a time node, and then gradually get to the truth by the exclusion method!” White’s proposal made Lyu Liang’s eyes brighten. “Although these attacks only happened after you entered the mining area, but this spy must have been planted before this! In addition, at least during the period I was in Icy Peak, there was no spy at all, because at that time, your environment was far more sinister than it is now. Of course, maybe these secret enemies have not prepared well for it yet.”
“Since I came to the Nether Big World, the new comers are…” Lyu Liang frowned and began to think deeply…
The first stop when he reached the Nether Big World was the Fox and Wolf Tribe, and nobody joined him there.
The second stop was the Icy Peak, and the new comer was Linglong, who had lost her consciousness.
The third stop was Tianshu Pavilion, which was also the last stop. Here, the new comer was Liu Xiaoxue, who had been living in Lyu Liang’s portable cave residence, and whose cultivation was totally gone.
“The above is the experience after you came to the Nether Big World, and before you came to the mining area. Now, do you have any thoughts yourself? Don’t worry about anything, and let go of all your feelings, what can you think of?” White’s instructions suddenly made Lyu Liang feel completely and bitingly chilled!
There were only two people who had recently joined him! That was Liu Xiaoxue and Linglong!
Lyu Liang was definitely sure that Liu Xiaoxue had lost her cultivation. How could a mortal who did not even have her Divine Soul become a spy who helped others to locate his position!
By using the exclusion method, the last one, even if impossible, must be the correct answer. But the answer… Lyu Liang could not bear it…
Linglong! How could it be Linglong? !
“This… there should be some misunderstanding…” Lyu Liang’s face was very miserable, because he could not bear to face the answer at all, and then he asked in a hard way, “You… already know this?”
White nodded silently and suddenly said, “There is something that Black told me only. Black originally wanted to tell you, but knew that it would make it difficult for you, so it refrained from doing so. Now, since I have come to this step, I will help you face up to it! Do you want to know the life experience of Linglong? Your meeting at Icy Peak was actually the second time you met, in your lives! Do you still remember the first time you met her? You can’t, right? Anyway, in that case, why would you pay attention to a naive baby?”
Lyu Liang listened with a stupefied look, yet inside he was greatly stirred, because he had already faintly guessed something…
“Or I will help you to recall it. Right, in this case, congratulations, you can make use of another talent of mine, the method of time and space reproduction!” Along with White’s words, a picture appeared in Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul!
It was nighttime, and Ly Liang was standing inside a small but magnificent palace. In front of him was a group of frightened and helpless old women and children.
“Well! Quickly disappear from my eyes, otherwise…” Lyu Liang’s big hand waved, and this group of people in front of him jostled with each other in their rush to escape.
At this time, when everyone was trying to escape, only a beautiful three- or four-year-old girl looked curiously at Lyu Liang from the arms of an old woman, until the white back disappeared from her sight……
“Really… Linglong… Heavens, are you kidding me… It’s not funny…” Lyu Liang could not recover from his shock, until the picture gradually faded…
“Linglong… Actually she should be called Anye Linglong. Previously Black was in the Devil Realm and had a deep impression of the unique Devil Qi of various sects in the Devil Realm. When Linglong was at Icy Peak, she was indeed controlled by the Human-skin Scroll and lost her consciousness. Her soul was prohibited too, so her aura of the Devil Clan could not be found.” After a pause, White continued, “After you destroyed the Human-skin Scroll and saved her, the restriction formation inside her soul was removed too. It was at that time that Black found something strange about her. And I doubt she recognized you as the person who had slaughtered her clan, after all, you have showed your actual appearance before her, many times!” ,
“Leave me alone…” Even though Lyu Liang’s Taoist Heart was steady, he could not help feeling disturbed again.
“What we have analyzed and what I have said just now, are all facts. I believe that you can understand it after you calm down. But one more thing I have to tell you is that Linglong has struggled to save your life, and that was not a pretence on her part. If she is the spy, there must be hidden facts. Once you understand it, come back to me.” White knew what Lyu Liang’s mood would be like. It was like a husband who was deeply in love with his wife yesterday, and suddenly had been told on the second day that his wife was actually a spy sent by the enemies. Who could bear it…
Fortunately, White’s last words gave Lyu Liang a bit of warmth in his heart, and then the previous pictures which brought comfort to him, reappeared in his heart…
Their helping each other when they encountered difficulties at Icy Peak…
Her attempt to save him when facing the Spirit Ghost…
Her attempt to save him, regardless of the danger to her own life in the Death Sea…
“Yeah, there must be some hidden facts!” Lyu Liang had a feeling of enlightenment in an instant. “If that is the case, let me see, who is using the love between Linglong and me to do such unscrupulous things!”
“Senior White, I figured it out! I don’t want to be led by the enemy again. What should I do now?” Once Lyu Liang understood, he went straight to White. Of course, he still secretly transmitted a voice message to him, because he was afraid of hurting the delicate and fragile heart of Linglong.
“Hey, so fast! I feel very happy that you have managed to overcome it!” White clearly felt quite happy and surprised at Lyu Liang’s quick return to his calmness. “Good! Let’s talk about the following plan!”
“Well, I now remember that from the previous two attacks, Linglong could be the suspect. But as what you have said, she was probably used by others. I don’t know whether the Devil Clan has some methods to communicate with each other, even if they are not with each other? Lyu Liang suddenly came up a plan. Indeed, it was only this kind of secret method that could determine if Linglong was indeed a spy.
“Xiao Liang, I am so glad that you can face the reality!” The voice of Black suddenly sounded.
“I let it get involved, no problem with that?” White smiled at him in a meaningful manner.
“That… senior Black, I was really…” Lyu Liang slammed his head awkwardly, and felt really embarrassed. No matter who he was on his guard against, he should not have suspected Black, who had followed him from such an early time! Of course, he was not suspicious of the other divine beasts either.
“Oh, it is not your fault. Anyone who is under such a situation will not feel good.” Black chuckled, and did not seem bothered at all, “It is said that a few Devil Clans with deep foundation can master a secret method that can let them communicate by soul. Even if they do not see each other, they can still connect the Divine Souls to communicate with each other, and sometimes they can even transmit real objects! Do you still remember that I once told you, the hundred clans of the Devil Realm had their unique aura of Devil Soul respectively? The Anye Clan is no exception. And I believe that as the biggest clan of the Devil Realm, Anye Clan can easily master that secret method!”
Black’s explanation greatly enlightened Lyu Liang. His original confusion had somewhat been removed! If it was true, then everything could be easily understood!
“That is to say, among the Anye Clan, there is someone who is still alive and has a deep hatred for me. He established the communication with Linglong, and used her to set the previous fatal traps for me?” After figuring all that out, Lyu Liang asked.
“It should be like this. I am not finished yet. The above-said secret communication method can only be established between two relatives! That is to say, it should be a person who has a bloodline relationship with Linglong! If Linglong is a direct-line offspring of the Dark Night Family, then I can only think of one person who could most possibly do this!” Black’s eyes glowed brilliantly and continued to say in a low voice, “In your previous slaughter of the Anye Clan and the later fight with the Tianluo Clan, I did not see the person who was only at a lower status than Dark Night Shenyang, the most important person of the Anye Clan! The importance of that person even exceeds Anye Tianlong, the next chief of the Anye Clan! That is Anye Tianhu, who is known as one of the ‘Three Elites of the Devil Realm’ and ‘Treasure of the Anye Clan’ in the times when Feiwu was still alive! He is the second son of Dark Night Shenyang, and the biological brother of Anye Tianlong!”
