Chapter 1377 Farewell, Zhan Yunliang

t....And throughout the entire nation, people like Ya who bore constellations of ink on their bodies were certainly not few in number. Lu Xia Tian, out of caution, had seen a few people, two of whom w...“This fellow actually switched to cultivating demonic arts and came to Suixing Valley. He’s leaving behind the Ghostfire True Person’s, a great cultivator’s, techniques to inherit them here in Suixing Valley. It seems there's something else going on.” Lu Xia Tian retracted the surprise from his eyes. Seeing Zhan Yunliang pass through the crowd of demons, Lu Xia Tian silently followed him.

Jan Yunliang looked unusually cautious, glancing around frequently. After circling the area a few times, he suddenly leapt towards the direction out of the valley.

Lu Xia Tian hesitated for a moment. He took the Hu Xiao Mo Dan to make it easier to get familiar with Su Xing Gu. It wasn't easy to find a guide here, and looking at Zhan Yun Liang's demeanor, he seemed quite familiar with Su Xing Gu. Once they reached an unpopulated area, he would subdue him and should be able to extract the information he wanted.

After a moment's thought, Lu XiaTian followed him.

Once again, Lu Xiaotian entered the misty place filled with demonic energy. On a small island surrounded by churning magma, stood a strange tree. Its leaves resembled human palms, and each leaf had a red-veined eye in its center, forming countless "magic eyes" that seemed to stare at everything around them. From afar, Lu Xiaotian felt as if countless eyes were watching him, giving him an unsettling feeling. Of course, the Crimson Vein Magic Eye Tree was not a living creature, but merely a demonic plant nurtured by demonic energy. It just looked quite eerie.

Lu Xia Tian's figure flickered, and he also disappeared into the dense forest on the island.

"Well done, my disciple. How are the things I've had you gather" In the depths of the forest, a figure shrouded in black robes carried Jian Yunliang on his back. His voice was ancient and creaking with age.

"The disciple went around once, but didn't see what the master wanted." Zhan Yunliang knelt on one knee, not even daring to raise his head, appearing extremely cautious and humble.

“Useless!” The hooded man’s wide sleeves swung back, sending a blast of energy that struck Jian Yunliang. Jian Yunliang let out a scream as his body flew backward, crashing into several sturdy red-veined demon eye trees.

Just as Zhan Yunliang fell to the ground, he scrambled back up, daring not to resist in the slightest. He looked like he was waiting for the black-robed man's next move.

Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. When the man in black spoke for the second time just now, he had heard a different voice. This was definitely not an illusion.

"Alright, get up. It's not your fault. Seems the other two old things are prepared too. I'm not the only one after that Demonic Puppet Ancestor Jade." The voice in the black robe changed again, this time sounding like a melodious yellow oriole, smooth and round, belonging to a woman.

This is an example of HTML code.

"This black-robed man is indeed strange, as if there are several different voices within his body at the same time." Lu Xiaoteng squinted his eyes. He had just entered the Demon Clan's territory and had encountered several strange incidents in succession.

"Enough, you may leave now. Continue to the Broken Star Valley and gather Azure Flame Stones for your master. If you fail to bring me what I desire by the day of the altar's opening, " The robed man smiled coldly.

“Yes, Master. I will definitely complete the mission as soon as possible.” Hearing the black robed man’s laughter, Zhan Yunliang jumped and hurriedly said.

Zhan Yunliang flew away from the small island just in time, heading towards the direction of Suixing Valley. He hadn't flown far when he suddenly saw a tall figure blocking his path ahead. Zhan Yunliang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure. It was perfectly normal to encounter a few troublemakers on the outskirts of Suixing Valley. Generally speaking, high-level demons weren't heartless, and they wouldn't deliberately seek out low-level demon trouble. After all, no one would waste their time doing nothing when there was so much to be done, especially at this time when the altar was almost ready.

If he wasn't much of a fighter, Zhan Yunliang’s eyes glinted with murderous intent. He had just been humiliated by the man in black robes and was looking for someone to vent his frustration on.

“Twenty years haven’t been seen, Brother Zhan’s killing intent is heavier than before.” Lu Xia Tian turned around and looked at Zhan Yunliang, who was in such a state, and smiled faintly.

“You, who are you” When Zhan Yunliang heard the other person’s words, his eyes changed instantly, “You are Lu Daoyou!”

Here's the English translation, keeping the HTML tags intact:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Or what"

Lu Xiaottian was still wearing the appearance of a tiger demon at this time. Since he could directly call out his last name and even mentioned the time, Zhan Yunliang immediately thought of who the other party was. Although their appearances were vastly different, that calm and serene gaze was just like it was over twenty years ago.

"How did you come to the Star-Crushing Valley" Zhan Yunliang's eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning man about to grab a life-saving straw.

"This isn't a place to talk, it's too easy for that master of yours to find us. Let's head back to the valley first." Lu Xiaoteng scanned his surroundings and found two powerful divine senses sweeping past. He reached out towards Zhan Yunliang in the air with a grab, and quickly rushed towards the road back to Suixing Valley.

“Did you just see that old demon” Zhan Yunliang was grabbed by Lu Xiaoteng, but he wasn’t very afraid. Instead, he felt a surge of energy because of what Lu Xiaoteng had just said.

“Since you left the valley, I have been following you. Your master is rather odd; his cultivation of demonic arts is formidable.” Lu Xia Tian said.

“It seems that Brother Lu's strength is still above that old demon's. He is not my master, but he forcibly abducted me to Suixing Valley. Brother Lu, I am now isolated and helpless, that old demon’s methods are like the sun compared to a firefly. I can only be at his mercy. Right now, my only hope of escaping is you.” Zhan Yunliang pleaded in a mournful voice.

"How were you taken by this demon" Lu Xia Tian asked with interest, after leading Zhan Yunliang to a relatively secluded spot.

“Don't mention it. After you, Brother Lu, helped me successfully possess the body, I immediately returned to Xiangdu and planned to use my grandfather’s things to return to the Yuan Ying stage as quickly as possible. Who knew that fate was unkind! At an auction, I attracted the attention of this old demon. Afterward, I was followed by him, and I couldn't even resist. He caught me before long, and soon he brought me to Suixing Valley.”

"Why is he arresting you" Lu Xiaodao said.

“Because I am a vessel for possession, this old demon cultivated an extremely evil demonic skill. His voice changes frequently because he devoured many primordial spirits. And the ones he likes best are those possessed souls. I was just unlucky and happened to be seen by him. There were three others like me, but over the years, the other two disappeared. They must have been killed by this old demon’s poison. Perhaps it won't be long before it's my turn. This old demon planted a restriction on me, so even if I wanted to leave, I could only walk a few hundred miles outside the Broken Star Valley before being brought back.”

Thinking back to the previous situation, even Zhan Yunliang, this original Nascent Soul cultivator's face couldn't help but show a hint of fear. "I once saw this old demon devouring the fleeing woman with my own eyes."

This old demon is already a level twelve demon, his strength isn't low. I want to deal with him and it wouldn't be easy. Besides, our previous agreement is almost over, and I only promised to help you recover to the Nascent Soul stage as quickly as possible. As for this level twelve demon, that's beyond our agreement.

Lu Xiaitian spread his hands and said, "After hearing what Zhan Yunliang said, he didn't feel much sympathy. "This time I came to Suixing Valley for another matter. Dealing with this old demon would disrupt my plan, and it's unnecessary for me." second. Right now, the slightly strengthened atmosphere of desolation surrounding him didn't have much impact on Lu Xiaoteng. But who could guarantee that after a few more intensifications, he would...
