Chapter 127 Zhu Yu’s Regrets

Lyu Liang focused his eyes, knowing that this was the actual main point! “If my guesses are correct, the person, who caused me to be in this plight, should be the Heaven Realm’s betrayer, Zhu Yu!”

“What exactly did the genius, who once had a bright future ahead of him, experienced that made him turn into a villain and everyone was ready to fight him? It’s really baffling!

“No one will pay attention to an ordinary patrolling mission, especially that place where the squads will go patrolling every day, and there were never any accidents. However, that day when Zhu Yu’s squad went patrolling, something huge happened that shook the Heaven Realm – the Calamity Troop had invaded!

“When the news reached the Heavenly Alliance, it was already the second day. According to the men at the battle frontline, the Heavenly Alliance had already activated the second Bounded Domain and had temporarily kept the Calamity Troop out of Pangu Origin world. However, there was a piece of news that was much more difficult to accept. We were originally calm like water but became extremely astonished when we heard that Zhu Yu’s entire squad perished!

“During that time, resisting the Calamity Troop’s invasion was naturally a cardinal task. We forgot all of our distracting thoughts temporarily and started to resist the Calamity Troop’s invasion with all of our might. Through our investigations, we realized that this group of Calamity Troop should be formed by those special life elements that were once scattered throughout the universe. They couldn’t revive but the numbers were too large!

“And somehow, the once flawless Shique array actually had a small hole in it. It was because of this hole that the Calamity Troop broke through!

“The sealing power, which was used to defend the Bounded Domain, could hold for about a month at least. Thus, we started to segregate a part of Heaven Realm’s area to use it as the buffer zone for the war against the Calamity Troop. We set up a defense system there and it was guarded by another Great Elder of Heavenly Alliance and I, together with the Human Clan’s Great Earth God.

“Just as we were fighting against the Calamity Troop with all our might, another major incident happened within the Heavenly Alliance – a piece of the Heavenly Alliance Token, which has supreme mysterious power, was stolen!

“The Heavenly Alliance Token is a supreme token distributed by a few Sage Ancestors to the Heavenly Alliance branches in different worlds when the Heavenly Alliance was first formed. It contains the mysterious power to suppress the abilities of the Heaven Realm’s cultivators. It also allows the holder to deny the suppressing power of the Heavenly Tao technique for a short time. It can be said that it’s an important means used by the manager to deal with betrayers or those who harbor evil intentions. The Heavenly Alliance Token has always been taken care of by the Night Dragon God Ancestor. There are a total of three pieces and usually, besides being brought out by the five elders to settle matters at the Mortal world, the rest of the members won’t get to see it!

“Another ten days had passed and the buffer zone at the extraterritorial was completed. Just as the Earth God and I were getting ready for guarding duty, Zhu Yu, whom we were deeply grieving for, reappeared in front of us. Just that, unlike the past, when he brought laughter, he brought back endless deaths this time.

“That day, we were discussing the final solution when a violent noise sounded suddenly. Shouts of panic followed straight after, and Zhu Yu’s name was among the shouts. The incident happened at the Heavenly Alliance second squad’s station. When we rushed there, Ouyang Hao and his second squad had evaporated, leaving only the red-eyed Zhu Yu, laughing madly in tears.

“No matter what caused the incident, Zhu Yu’s doings are unforgivable. Then, the three Great Elders – Earth God, Heaven Hong of the Demon Clan and I – joined hands and started to tackle Zhu Yu, who had already risen to the ranks of Early-stage Supreme Master. Although for the three of us, our cultivations had already reached Peak Supreme Master, we still had to use all our might to go against him. This was because of Zhu Yu’s abilities, which makes one turn pale in fear, would only appear at the moment of life and death!

“At that point in time, if someone still commented that Zhu Yu and Ouyang Hao were geniuses, I’m afraid it’ll only draw disdain from everybody. Zhu Yu was too strong! His technique power was strong and strange, and it had an extremely powerful penetrating and corrosive power towards the Divine Souls of others. Even if the three of us gathered forces against him, we were still exhausted by his suppression!

“Two Tao Ancestors arrived at the crucial timing and with their help, we successfully turned the disadvantaged situation around. Slightly relieved, we gathered our powers and inflicted serious injuries on Zhu Yu but he still got away in the end. From then on, Zhu Yu became Heavenly Alliance’s key criminal to track down and he was also the target of the first Order of Soul Detention.

“After that, Earth God and I went to the buffer zone and led part of the Heavenly Alliance members to suppress the Calamity Troop’s invasion. After battling for some time, we realized that our judgments were wrong again! For whatever reason, this time, the Calamity Troop had started to develop spiritual intelligence and could even improve through cultivation just like a cultivator! They no longer attack blindly and had also built a buffer zone, attempting to invade into Pangu Origin world while cultivating their lives.

“At the same time, under the guidance of Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor, who was one of the three Tao Ancestors, a total of 34 Heavenly Alliance members ranked Tao Master and above started tracking down Zhu Yu, who had already escaped to the Mortal world. This time, the Heavenly Alliance members of the Mortal world were all from the Human Clan. As Zhu Yu was being suppressed by the Heavenly Tao technique, his cultivation will stop improving if he went to the worlds of other clans besides the world of the Human Clan.

“Furthermore, we, the five Great Elders, had also informed the powerful figures of each clan in the Mortal world beforehand and they had started to pursue Zhu Yu as well. However, the opponent’s craftiness proved to be tough for the Heavenly Alliance members to guard against.

“In the beginning, the cultivations of the people of the Mortal world were usually at a Fairy Immortal standard as they were suppressed by the Heaven Realm technique. However, Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor had a powerful Innate Spirit Treasure, the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl, granted to him by the Heavenly Alliance headquarter. It was used to deny the suppression of the Heavenly Tao technique and allows the holder to regain its original cultivation quickly. There wasn’t any bottleneck during the process.

“You ought to know that the lowest standard among these Heavenly Alliance members of the Mortal world was Tao Master. If they have this piece of Innate Spirit Treasure and continued practicing over thousands of years, they would surely regain their original cultivation. Hence, spending almost 3,000 years, most of the Heavenly Alliance members’ cultivations had returned to at least a Tao Master standard. The people of the Mortal world then started spreading out to search for Zhu Yu’s whereabouts.

“One day, five mysterious men in Divine Sense Isolation Masks suddenly attacked Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor, who was undergoing closed door meditation! All of them had the standard of a Peak Almighty Immortal and the scariest thing was, everyone knew One Point Death!

“The time of their attack was just right. Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor was just reaching the crucial point of breakthrough and while the two accompanying disciples by his side had cultivations of an Early-stage Tao Master, they were no match for the five mysterious men! During the critical moment, Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor had to risk the danger of being possessed and force his breakthrough and then, he started destroying the enemies.

“The body movements of the five men were strange and the magic treasure was powerful. Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor had to protect his two disciples and suppress the damage caused by the forced interruption of the breakthrough. Just when he killed two of the men, a sudden stroke of One Point Death pierced through him and a figure of Zhu Yu appeared. He had actually reached the cultivation of a Middle-stage Xuan Immortal at that time even without the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl

“Before Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor broke through with closed door meditation, he already had a Late-stage Tao Master cultivation. If he was to fight against Zhu Yu and the mysterious men in his state then, it wouldn’t be difficult. However, in his current state, his cultivation aura was very unstable and hence he was killed by Zhu Yu in the end.

“Zhu Yu’s intention was obviously to take the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl. However, Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor seemed to have a hunch and had split and scattered the six pieces of Million-Spirits Blood Pearl and no one knew the pearl’s whereabouts.

“After that incident, the rest of the Heavenly Alliance members rushed over. After killing another mystery man, Zhu Yu and the remaining two mysterious men slipped away. Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor’s death allowed everyone to witness how terrifying Zhu Yu was. Hence, the remaining Heavenly Alliance members used the Mortal Realm as a stronghold and established the Central Heaven District. They formed 15 different sects and constantly developed their forces. It wasn’t until 7,000 years later that it finally reached a certain scale. However, it was as if Zhu Yu had disappeared, we never heard any of his news again during this period.

“Sigh! To this date, I still don’t know what Zhu Yu’s squad had experienced that day which caused a genius, who was at the apex, to transform into a sinister and ruthless devil. It’s undeniable that Zhu Yu was a rare evil genius. The skills he demonstrated back then were just a few. The only word that can be used to describe his ability is ‘unfathomable’.

“The two disciples of Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor were Supreme Tao Master and Wu Tian Tao Master. Wu Tian’s character was a little problematic but seeing that he’s also a Heavenly Alliance member and wasn’t evil, we never pursued the matters until he snatched away your Taoist companion, then did Hell-heaven informed me about it. Following the past solutions, we hoped that you wouldn’t step into the muddy waters too early and let Hell-heaven and his people liaise with your Taoist companion. However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, you had acted and the result after that was unexpected.

“Currently, Ru Yi Sect is the second largest influence in the Central Heaven District, and it’s sect leader, Bloodthirsty Shura, is Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor’s younger sister. She hates those who know the One Point Death to the core and is already personally dealing with you. With your current abilities, it wouldn’t be much longer before she finds you if you continue to stay in Pangu Origin world. Don’t hope that she’ll give you the chance to explain, if not, you’ll have to welcome nothing else but the evaporation of your body and soul.”

Lyu Liang finally understood the whole story this time. Of course, there were still many doubts. Zhu Yu wouldn’t be in this state now if it was just because of the Calamity Troop’s invasion. Of course, it was definitely not something that he could understand now when even Xuanli Zhen had not fully grasped the situation yet.

…………………………

At the same time, at the Southern Heaven District city of Pangu Origin world where mortals lived, the evening lights were already lit.

In a small building by the riverside, a lonely figure was enjoying a cup of wine all by himself. This person wore a green robe, his features were very distinct and under the dashing eyebrows was a pair of gentle eyes. His appearance was handsome and he had a graceful demeanor. This person was Zhu Yu, who had disappeared a long time ago.

On the table in front of Zhu Yu, besides his own wine cup, there were five wine cups opposite him that was filled with wine. Every time when he drank from his own cup, he would lift his cup and knock it against one of the five cups, drink the wine from the two cups and continue to refill the cups.

The current him no longer had a thread of fighting intent and the craftiness in his eyes was gone. What was left behind, was only an indescribable touch of sadness…

…………………………

The new recruit training camp of Heavenly Alliance’s Pangu Origin world branch.

Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor, “From today onwards, the six of you will form the sixth squad of the Special Operations. The leader will be Zhu Yu, there’s no need for me to introduce him, all of you should have heard of his reputation! The rest of you will introduce yourself, tell us your name and a specialty besides fighting!”

Ling Kun, “Ling Kun. Specialty… Is having a good appetite counted?”

Bi Hai, “Bi Hai. My specialty is to bewitch!”

Zhao Xiaoyun, “Zhao Xiaoyun. My specialty is transforming appearances!”

Niu Xinglie, “Niu Xinglie. Specialty… Good at gambling!”

Leng Hong, “Leng Hong. My specialty is speed!”

Zhu Yu, “Zhu Yu. My specialties are being handsome, graceful demeanor, humorous, kind-hearted and protecting nature!”

Ling Kun, “…”

Bi Hai, “…”

Zhao Xiaoyun, “…”

Niu Xinglie, “…”

Leng Hong, “…”

Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor, “Zhu Yu! I already said that you needn’t introduce yourself and what kind of specialties are those!”

Zhu Yu, “Erm, Boss Hong Cheng, I was trying to integrate into the squad and not stand out! Sigh, I’ve too many specialties so I could only give a summary as above!”

…………………………

Heavenly Alliance’s Pangu Origin world branch, station of the special operations sixth squad.

Zhao Xiaoyun, “Hey, have you guys heard? God Ancestor milord’s precious daughter, Fairy Zi Feng, has her eyes on our leader!”

Niu Xinglie, “Let’s bet! I bet Leader will definitely reject her! Starting with a hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones and capped at 500 mid-grade Primordial Stones!”

Ling Kun, “Then I shall also bet that Leader will reject, is that right, Sister Bi Hai? Hehe!”

Bi Hai, “Stupid fatso! Look at your cheap laugh, let’s bet then!”

Niu Xinglie, “Sigh, it makes sense that our own people are placing their bets that he would reject. I shall go ask the other squads!

Leng Hong, “This lad, you don’t wish to mix around here anymore? Even dared to open such a bet to outsiders?!!”

Zhu Yu, “Big stupid cow! If you don’t want to be punished to clean up the extraterritorial battlefield, you goddamn better control yourself! I had already rejected this marriage!”

Ling Kun, “Look, Sister Bi Hai! I’ve said that in his heart, there’s only… Ah! Why did both of you hit me!:

…………………………

Extraterritorial, under the flames of war.

Ling Kun, “I’m sorry, Leader. I’ve already exhausted my powers. I’m ready to self-detonate, in hope that I could use it to blast open the restriction seal behind. A life saved is still a life saved! It’s a pity that I could only enjoy the few meals that Old Niu owed me, in my next life!”

Niu Xinglie, “Old Ling, that seal is too strong. I had exhausted my powers too, let us both detonate before another flood of that damned Calamity Troop attacks!”

Zhu Yu, “No! Hong and Xiaoyun are already dead, I don’t want to lose you guys too! Let me recover for 30 minutes, just 30 minutes, I’ll get all of us out!”

Bi Hai, “Yu, don’t overwork yourself. Although I never thought that you were this strong, that restriction seal behind us isn’t something that can be dealt with by one or two people. I had already exhausted my powers too, I’ll just go together with them! Even if you rise to the rank of Supreme Master, it’s still useless against the Calamity Troop, whose spiritual intelligence was already opened.”

Zhu Yu, “No! No!! No!!! Wait! Wait until the breakthrough of my Million-Tao Body is completed and that I’ve risen to the rank of Supreme Master. This Calamity Troop is just a shape without a soul! I beg you, wait for me… Um!”

Ling Kun, “Wow! Sister Hai has finally taken the initiative! This kiss was really astonishing!”

Niu Xinglie, “Haha, being able to witness the love of the two bickering fellows bearing fruit, I can die in peace! Old Ling, let’s go, for the sake of our leader!”

Ling Kun, “I’m not afraid of death, I only hate that we were set up by our own people. I’m going to die a wrongful death! Leader! We’re leaving! Take care!”

“Boom! Boom!”

Zhu Yu, “Why…”

Bi Hai, “Yu, I had already accepted you as my Taoist companion in my heart. The four of them passed their Life-Souls to you just now, and now, I’m also giving you mine. Promise me that when you escape, don’t go seeking for revenge. With your natural gifts, you’ll be an exceptional person wherever you go. That restriction formation had cracked, I’ll go apply more force on it!”

Zhu Yu, “Hai’er, don’t… I don’t want…”

Bi Hai, “My Yu, you should breakthrough properly under the Heavenly Charm. You should have already escaped when you wake up. If there’s a next life, we must become each other’s Taoist companion earlier, okay?”

…………………………

Zhu Yu, who was sitting at the wine table, was already showered in tears. He took out a crystal ball from his arms and looked at the five shining souls swimming inside. He lightly caressed it for a moment before returning it to his arms.

Under the quiet night sky, Zhu Yu finished the wine on the table and said softly in unification, “Hai’er, Old Ling, Hong, Xiaoyun, wait and see! Blood is the only way to repay blood debts! Ouyang Hao, this dog, is already dead! Next, will be those hypocrites high up above! Purple Phoneix, this despicable slut! Don’t think that you’ll be alright under the protection of the God Ancestor! Once I’ve collected all the pieces of the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl and get my hands on the Tai-Ah Sword and Dragon-Teeth Dagger, it’ll be time to return to the Heaven Realm and settle accounts with all of you!”
