Chapter 365 Strong Companions

When the others saw Jue Luo sparkling with a golden light all over his body, they were stunned, and then exclaimed in horror. They now understood what the golden light meant! If Lin Qiangu’s body was also changed, they were doomed in that fight, definitely!

But, any warning would be useless at that moment, because they were too close to each other. Lin Qiangu had no idea what that move augured, so she instinctively exerted a mass of gray evil aura in front of her as a shield, when the golden light came out.

“No!!!” When Wen Xiaojing came around and saw what Lin Qiangu was doing, she could not help yelling. Then she subconsciously glanced at the guy who had always brought her hope, but he was nowhere in sight!

Right at that time, to everyone’s surprise, Lyu Liang had already appeared in the field where Lin Qiangu and Jue Luo were alone at first!

He managed to stand between them right before the golden light from Jue Luo and the evil aura made contact!

“No!!!” This time, it was Jue Luo exclaiming in panic. He had never expected that to happen!

“Crack!” After a clear sound, Lin Qiangu stepped back, not knowing what had happened, and staring blankly at the sight.

“Ah haha… Ooh! It hurts, it hurts so much! Little girl… You are good… Ah… Great…” In the pit on the ground opposite her, Lyu Liang was moaning due to the tearing pain all over his body. His Divine Soul had nearly been shattered, but he was more than happy, as he had his own body back!

On the other side, Jue Luo, who was flying out laterally, struggled to stand up. He was overwhelmed by shock and anger, and kept muttering, “Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!! This is impossible!” Then he started to exert the golden light for changing bodies again!

However, before the light started sparkling again, the cold bone spear directly went through his forehead, and his Divine Soul was smashed into pieces instantly!

One of the Four Saints in the Pan Gu Cave, Jue Luo, was dead!

“Humph! I didn’t know that trick at first. And then you wanted to do that again, in your dream! My spear has been dirtied!” Lin Qiangu snorted. Then she crooked her finger, and Jue Luo’s headless body, which was covered with bones, emerged out of nowhere, and then disappeared completely, after a flash of white light.

At that time, Lyu Liang was still lying in the pit, trying hard to stand up, and grimacing in pain. Without the help of the Tianxuan Holy Rattan, his recovery was very slow.

Fairy Purple Phoenix and Wen Xiaojing floated to his side at the same time. They carried Lyu Liang out carefully, using the Spiritual Qi.

Fairy Purple Phoenix had tears streaming down her face, but she was just too happy.

Wen Xiaojing was much more restrained, while her eyes were also shining brightly.

Seeing that scene, Lin Qiangu raised her eyebrows. Then she made an instantaneous flash to Lyu Liang’s side, and, without saying anything to the other two girls, she directly forced apart his mouth and threw a medicinal pill into it.

“Hey! What are you feeding him? Be careful. He looks so weak!” Fairy Purple Phoenix had been feeling angry with Lin Qiangu for quite sometime. She did thank her saving their lives, but Lin Qiangu had hit Lyu Liang’s body so hard, she could not be nice to her for the moment.

“This is Panacea from the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, and it will help to stabilize his Divine Soul. And he will have a full recovery within only one month after taking it.” Lin Qiangu stood up and said coldly. “Or, do you have better medicine pills?”

“I…” Fairy Purple Phoenix was at loss for words. She was angry, but did not know what to say.

“Qiangu! Why are you here? Thank you for saving us!” Wen Xiaojing ran to her cheerfully, and held Lin Qiangu’s arm, looking quite excited.

Lin Qiangu was no longer stern, and wore a bright smile, like a little girl. She also held Wen Xiaojing’s hand and said, “My closed door meditation ended earlier! I did not know that you were here in the Mortal World, so I came to look for you! Humph! I came in good time. Otherwise, you are probably going to die here with that useless man!” When she said these words, she gave Lyu Liang a look of disdain.

“Well… Thank you very much, Miss Lin!” Lyu Liang stood up and bowed to Lin Qiangu awkwardly.

He had to admit that Lin Qiangu’s medicinal pill was good and rare in the Mortal World. Within a short time, the sharp pain and the tearing feeling in his Divine Soul had somewhat lessened. He could also walk a bit, but flying and conjuring were definitely not yet possible for him.

“Actually, you should also thank him. If he had not blocked the Skill of Body to Heart Conversion from Jue Luo for you, all of us would have died.” Wen Xiaojing gave her a sly smile.

“Humph! Without him, even if I could not withstand that attack with my Heavenly Evil Aura, my Soul Bone Skill will work anyway!” Lin Qiangu did not back off. She was not really sure if she could withstand that attack by herself, but there was no way she would admit that Lyu Liang had saved her!

“Please excuse her! Her name is Lin Qiangu, one of the Three Golden Flowers in the Sanctuary. Her nickname is ‘Vileplume’. She is very powerful, of course, and is known as the kid from the Jiang Clan, which belongs to the four influential families. As she had a really hard time when she was little, so she is very cold toward strangers. But, to me and her other good friends and family, she is really kind and warm. Qiangu is a good girl. She has a cold disposition, but a warm heart, and will do anything for her friends. She meant no harm, please don’t blame her.” Wen Xiaojing said apologetically into Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul.

“Haha, that’s all right. I’m really grateful that she appeared. If it were not her just now, we would all have been killed today.” Lyu Liang said with gratitude, thinking that everybody has his or her own personality and that was not a problem for him.

At that moment, a loud sound could be heard. With the periphery shield being smashed, countless cultivators in different clothes stormed into the place. They all had chilling auras! The one with the lowest level was at the Peak of Supreme Master, while a few of them were actually God Ancestors!

“Dad!”

“Dad!”

Mu Yi and Yan Ming cried out at the same time, obviously recognizing them, who were all elites from the Mu Family and Yan Family. And the masters of the two families had also arrived!

“They are my friends and saviors. Except that girl in the golden armor, all the others have been badly hurt, so I want to take them to our place to recover!” Mu Yi cupped his fists respectfully to a big man with brown hair, who was walking toward him.

“OK… Eh? Xiao Yi, you… Good. No problem. We should go back first and talk later.” The big man was Mu Haiying, the master of the Mu Family. He first nodded, but when he saw his son, he froze, while there was also a look of surprise on his face.

At the same time, Lyu Liang also came over to them. The others were still calm, but the few powerful figures, including the two masters were immediately shocked, with their mouths wide open, as the scene was quite beyond their understanding.

Lyu Liang was new here, but the three girls were very familiar to them, and who attracted a lot of respect and admiration!

Needless to say, Fairy Purple Phoenix was their superior. They were living in the Heaven Realm there. It was even better for them to commit suicide, if they claimed not to know her…

As they were all powerful figures with higher statuses, they would also hang out in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa at times, to deal with things, so they generally knew something about the families in the Remote Antiquity and the four influential families.

Even if they were unable to recognize everyone, they had seen and heard a lot about Three Golden Flowers in the Sanctuary!

If they were right, the two girls in front of them were obviously Lin Qiangu from the Jiang Clan and Wen Xiaojing from the Wen Clan, both belonging to the four influential families.

Mu Haiying looked at them blankly, and opened his mouth, but failed to say anything at last. What he saw was too weird for him.

Fairy Purple Phoenix was on the left and Wen Xiaojing was on the right, and they were both carefully carrying a man with serious injuries. Their expression and actions… were as if they were caring for their Taoist companion.

Lin Qiangu, who was at Wen Xiaojing’s side was the only one who was behaving normally. Her nickname of “Cold Vileplume” was no longer a secret.

“Thank you all for coming here to help. The enemies are dead. It’s okay now.” Lyu Liang nodded and said this gratefully.

At that time, Mu Yi and Yan Ming looked at each other, and then strode forward and said, “We’ll take him!” They just naturally took over from the two ladies, and supported Lyu Liang.

“Purple Phoenix, the situation here is settled. You are not supposed to be here because of your identity, so you can go back first. I’ll never forget your kindness!” Lyu Liang also recognized the embarrassing situation, and hurriedly transmitted a message secretly to Fairy Purple Phoenix, asking her to leave, but his feeling of gratitude was true.

“I won’t regret it even if I have to die for you!” Fairy Purple Phoenix responded excitedly by voice transmission. But then she said, “But, I do have to go back for a while. You go to the Mu Family to recuperate first. I’ll go and see you for sure!” After she was done, she nodded to Mu Haiying, who looked hesitant and then left.

“Hu!” Mu Haiying felt relieved. He cupped his fists quickly and said, “I’m Mu Haiying, master of the Mu Family from the Six Families. Nice to meet you, Miss Lin and Miss Wen!” Following him, all the others, including the master of the Yan Family, Yan Ziming, bowed respectfully to the girls.

“You two masters don’t have to do this! We should thank you for your help!” Wen Xiaojing said. Then she walked over to Mu Yi and Yan Ming and said, while bowing to them slightly, “Thanks for risking your lives to save us. I’m very grateful. From now on, we are friends like Damon and Pythias!”

“No…” Mu Yi gave a bitter laugh, and, pointing to Lyu Liang and Lin Qiangu, said, “They are the ones who saved you…”

“No. Thank you, really! If you had not helped Xiaojing to hold on for some time, it might have been too late before I got here! What you did means a lot to us! If you don’t mind that I’m merely a man from the Mortal World, we can be friends for a lifetime!” Lyu Liang waved his hand and said sincerely.

“I…” Mu Yi was struck dumb, and his eyes were getting red. After a while, he said, “Thank you! I really want to thank you…” Yan Ming at the side said nothing, but he was also nodding hard.

“This is not a place for talking and resting. Let us go to my residence not far away. There is a Spiritual Pool that this hero can use for his healing.” Mu Haiying suggested this. Nobody rejected his offer.

Later, Lin Qiangu put Lyu Liang inside her cave residence on her body, and then all of them flew toward the Mu Mansion.

…

“Qiangu, when are you planning to go back?” Wen Xiaojing asked curiously, by using a secret voice transmission.

“Go back? Will you come with me? If not, I’m staying here with you.” Lin Qiangu frowned. She already knew the answer earlier, when she saw the softness in the eyes of her best friend, while she was taking care of Lyu Liang.

“… I can’t leave now. I have to stay with him. When he goes to the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, I’ll go up then.” Wen Xiaojing answered briefly and firmly.

“Please don’t get me wrong, but why are you staying with such a useless man… not so useless. Anyway, he does appreciate others’ help. That’s his only merit.” Lin Qiangu said helplessly. Then she continued, “Is there a reason?”

“Haha, you finally know he is a good man. Believe me, and you’ll see more of his merits in time!” Wen Xiaojing smiled happily. Then she said in a solemn tone, “I’m following him, for the Wen Clan. You should know that!”

“Yeah, I know… But if that’s true, I can also do that for you! He is just a man in the Mortal World, has some abilities, maybe, but if he wants to have an impact on those power figures up there, that’s out of the question!” Lin Qiangu nodded, sounding both resolute and confident.

However, Wen Xiaojing shook her head, and said in the same tone, “Even though you don’t think your identity is a problem, I won’t let you do this for me. We are best friends, so, let me put it straight. We won’t be able to finish this mission if it is only you and me, but Lyu Liang, a guy who is just nobody in your eyes, will be the key person for me to be able to succeed in the end! I’ll tell you the miracles he’s achieved, when I have time. I have totally connected the future of the Wen Clan and myself to him, no matter what price I am going to pay, even if I might die for this!”
