The Devilish Immortal Chapter 45 Between Good and Evil

"Erm, Taoism peer Zhu, let's take a look at the child over there. Also, what happened just now?" Lyu Liang coughed, although he was interested in Zhu Yan's face observing technique, the child's safety was the most important.

"Oh, this is a long story! Let me start from my arrival at the Wufang Territory..." When Lyu Liang asked, Zhu Yan's face beamed and he started his story incessantly.

"Taoism peer Zhu, you can start from where you stopped just now..." Lyu Liang felt a bit helpless. Did he never speak in his previous life? How could he be so wordy...

"Alright! At first, I had a stall in Shang Qiu Town for face observing. After I kept the stall, I felt something so I came towards this direction. I saw two black men carrying a little girl flying across from me. They all emitted the aura of Demon Qi. I feared that the girl may have been in danger so I stood up and stopped the two of them. After that, thanks to you, everything was resolved, or the result would have been unimaginable!" This time Zhu Yan did not talk nonsense and explained the incident briefly.

At this point, the two had arrived by the side of the little girl. Zhu Yan waved his hand and the yellow shield dissipated, and the little girl was trembling and crouching the ground, the horror in her eyes made Lyu Liang feel a stinging pain in his heart.

"Good girl, don't be afraid, the bad guys have already been beaten by us. Where is your home? We will send you back." Zhu Yan asked before Lyu Liang could say the same words.

Hearing these words, the little girl cried loudly, "The two bad guys broke into my house and grabbed me. My parents tried to stop them, but they used the sword... Wow!!!" The little girl buried her head and cried, Lyu Liang tried to console her but it was to no avail.

At the side, Zhu Yan made a long sigh to the sky and took out a red ball out of nowhere. He threw it directly at the little girl. The ball stopped when it reached the top of her head and then burst into a dazzling red light.

At the moment when the red light appeared, the little girl who had been crying and screaming fainted suddenly. Lyu Liang was about to help but was stopped by Zhu Yan, "Don't worry, look."

After a while, the little girl woke up. However, the fear in her eyes had disappeared, and now she had a confused look.

"Eh, why am I here? Ah, Grandpa Zhu!" The little girl first looked at her surroundings blankly. When her eyes moved to Zhu Yan, she suddenly burst into excitement.

"Ai, look at you coming out to play at such a late time. Your parents are worried about you at home!" Zhu Yan looked at the little girl gently and spoke words that made Lyu Liang confused.

"Oh, then I shall go home now!" The little girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

Lyu Liang was perplexed. What was going on? How did Zhu Yan become the grandfather of this little girl?! Also, how come the little girl was acting like a different person after she fainted?

Lyu Liang really wanted to ask, but he suppressed his desire. He could feel that Zhu Yan did this for a reason.

The next moment, the red ball not far away emitted red light, and the little girl was shrouded under it. At the same time, the little girl's look became confused, and she muttered to herself, "Mom, dad, Little Yun'er is back, I will not wander around again..." Before she could finish her words, she was absorbed into the little red ball.

Lyu Liang was shocked. When he was about to ask, Zhu Yan handed the ball to him and pointed his finger at the ball. "Taoism peer, do not be nervous, look!"

"Space magic treasure! No, no, not only that!" Lyu Liang focused his look and was surprised to find that the space in the ball was actually divided into many small areas, each small area was like a town, some with people inside, some without.

In the towns with people, no matter how many people there were, there would always be a person with a yellow halo on them. There were children, teenagers, and the elderly. With no exceptions, everyone had a smile on their happy face.

In the direction pointed by Zhu Yan, Lyu Liang saw Little Yun'er. At this moment, she was excitedly talking to a middle-aged couple. Even Lyu Liang was influenced by this warm and happy atmosphere.

"Do you see the towns with people? Have you seen the ones with a yellow halo inside? They are just like Little Yun'er, unable to accept the cruel reality in the world, and were absorbed inside when they had a mental breakdown. Inside, they will live a happy life without any worries. No troubles, no hatred, only endless happiness." Zhu Yan said with a smile, but there were endless vicissitudes in his eyes.

"What!" Lyu Liang was utterly shocked! Not because of this strange magic treasure, but because he knew how terrible the consequences would be by doing so!

The greatest sins in the world were related to the tormenting of creatures! By doing this, although Zhu Yan saved the heart of a child and gave them a happy life. However, this was definitely a violation of the Tao of heaven!

Forcibly tampering with the memory of mortals, and even depriving them of their original life! Although in the reality of the world, children like Little Yun'er might not have the courage to live on, or they might directly break down mentally and die. It still could not change Zhu Yan's sins of modifying the life of mortal creatures!

"Brother Zhu, then you..." Lyu Liang did not dare to think further and could only stare at Zhu Yan in disbelief.

"Haha, what is good? And what is evil? Even if I am burned in hellfire for my sins, as long as I have a clear conscience, it is good! There are no laws and no Taos, no heavens and no earth, I am only me, and I am free to wander!" Zhu Yan laughed aloud. At the same time, traces of black Qi were emitted from his body, and a few faint dark red flames were beating within.

Lyu Liang couldn't help but take in a deep breath! Zhu Yan was not surrounded only by hellfire, sinister Qi had already formed around him! However, Lyu Liang actually expected the result just by looking at that many people in the ball.

"I don't know what magic treasure this is, but I obtained it by chance and accidentally discovered its use. I can usually create illusions for others, but only for people whose mind or Divine Soul has broken down. Then, by stimulating its 'complete state', I can take people into the world of happiness inside the ball. I have thought of this method since I met the first child with a mental breakdown," Zhu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment when he talked about it. "In your opinion, if the powerful figures in the world know me, I might be classified as a sinful and evil cultivator!"

Lyu Liang shook his head solemnly at Zhu Yan's words. At the same time, he bowed his hand to Zhu Yan and said word by word, "'I am only me' and 'wandering freely', how wonderful! Taoism peer Zhu is a person with a genuine personality, and I admire that!"

Lyu Liang's earnest praise made Zhu Yan feel a little embarrassed, and he quicked shook his hand, "That's flattering, Taoism peer. I am a nosy person and usually travel around. Sometimes when I see unfair things, I always intervene even when I do not have any power. Anyway, if I can fight, then I fight, if I can't fight, then I run!"

Looking at Zhu Yan who had regained his playful look with a cheeky smile, Lyu Liang felt great about him and at the same time, a thought flashed through his mind, "Ying'er said that the fifth person was related to the fire. The word 'Yan' in Zhu Yan's name means the gathering of three fires. Is this the person chosen by fate?"

Although Lyu Liang had his own thoughts, he did not say anything. After all, he only got to know this person for a while, even if he appreciated him, it was safer to observe more.

"I am Lyu Liang, a disciple from Sword Character Immortal Palace of Wufang Territory. A few months ago, I was back in the hometown to visit my father, and I am about to rush back to the Immortal Palace now." Lyu Liang remembered that he had not introduced himself to Zhu Yan yet.

When Zhu Yan heard these words, his eyes lit up, and he bowed his hand and said, "Oh! It turns out that Taoism peer Lyu is from the second-largest force in the Wufang Territory, such a pleasure to know you! By the way, the two demon people, although they are emitting Demon Qi, the moves used were the secret mantra of a Human Clan sect, this incident is not as simple as it seems!"

Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment, and he also felt strange at the same time. Though the two men in black exuded Demon Qi, it would be wrong if they were really demons. When he was in the Immortal Palace, he learned that the Demon Clan could only transform themselves in the Early-stage of Nascent Soul. However, the two men in black just now were obviously only at the Middle-stage of Gold Core. Moreover, their bodies were too weak, although Lyu Liang waved the Joyful Sword Essence at full strength, but in terms of the natural strength of the body of the Demon Clan, how could they be so fragile?

Thinking of this, Lyu Liang also frowned, "Oh? What you said confuses me as well. I wonder if Brother Zhu has any clues?"

"Haha, it's also a coincidence. Every time I go to a place, I like to understand the basic situation of the leading local forces. The two black-robed demons, if my prediction is not wrong, they should be the disciples of the Wutong Sect in Shang Qiu Town. Wutong Sect is considered the number one force in Diqiu Country. However, it is said that the sect chief, Fire-dragon Immortal, is only at the Peak of Gold Core." Zhu Yan seemed to know the situation here, not only did he say his own inference, but he also revealed the secrets of Wutong Sect.

Indeed, Lyu Liang knew a few things about the Wutong Sect. It was mentioned in the introduction of the book on Wufang Territory forces that Lyu Liren gave him before, and the contents were basically the same as what Zhu Yan had said.

"Taoism peer Lyu, I do not want to hide it from you. Little Yun'er was the third child that I have kept in the vicinity of Shang Qiu Town! These black-robed demons also caught the two children before, but at that time my cultivation was higher than them. Thus, they gave up on the children and ran away. This is the first time that I have fought against them," Zhu Tan seemed to be thinking of something, then he looked up at Lyu Liang and asked hopefully, "Though I am not strong enough, I want to go to the Wutong Sect and ask them about this incident. I wonder if brother Lyu is willing to go together with me?"

"Of course I am willing! Even if brother Zhu did not mention it, I would take the initiative to ask!" The moment when Lyu Liang thought of the miserable situation of Little Yun'er, a raging fire rose from the bottom of his heart, and he agreed without any hesitation! Going a step further, this was also a matter of his hometown, how could he not intervene?

"In that case, then I have to go back to my temporary residence to pack my things up. An hour later, we should meet at the foot of the mountain of Wutong Sect in Shang Qiu Town!" Zhu Yan cupped his hands and apologized to Lyu Liang, and then he flew away.

Lyu Liang cupped his hands as well. He got up directly and went to the Wutong Sect first. Anyway, he had nothing else to do. He merely wanted to understand the situation first.

Thirty minutes later, Lyu Liang arrived at the place where Wutong Sect was. This sect was built on top of the mountain, and there were layers of Sect-Protection Formation outside. At the foot of the mountain, some people lived in Shang Qiu Town.

Lyu Liang first asked some people about the situation of the Wutong Sect. He asked some mortals, and also asked some cultivators, and the answers he got were very unexpected.

Initially, he thought that even if the place where the demon people came from were not totally evil, surely some people would hate them. However, after questioning a dozen people, everyone unanimously said that the Wutong Sect was good!

In their words, the chief of the Wutong Sect, Fire-dragon Immortal, and his Junior Brother Water-dragon Immortal were very friendly to both mortals and the cultivators. Sometimes, they would even take the initiative to help those who had difficulties.

Lyu Liang was a bit confused by the results. He thought that it was quite simple, but now it seemed that the incident was not what he had thought! Apparently, it would be wrong to accuse the Wutong Sect directly, it was better to wait for Zhu Yan to come over and then they should discuss how to make their visit to the mountain.

At this time, it was still in that same jungle. While Lyu Liang was thinking about the Wutong Sect, Zhu Yan's figure reappeared in the deeper part of the jungle.

Right now, behind him stood a beautiful girl in a white dress with a cold face, and she had a killing intent that could not be concealed. The aura that she emitted seemed to be at the Middle-stage of Void Return. If Lyu Liang were here, he would be surprised to find that there was a hint of Demon Qi among the Primordial Qi that the girl was giving out!

"Yun'er, I am sorry that I made you cooperate with me to act out that scene, did you remember the past again?" Zhu Yan turned his head in remorse and looked at the girl in front of him.

When the girl heard his words, she was stunned for a moment and then knelt to the ground. She said in a hurry, "Your Highness, if you did not keep me in the Beautiful but Evanescent Dream, there would not be a Little Yun'er in this world! So what if I need to act? Even if I had to die for your Highness, I would not have any complaints! Your Highness, you must not think so lightly of yourself! Otherwise, I can only die to make it up to you!"

"I said it earlier. You are you, and I am me, do not say anything about slaves. Where did you learn all these rules? You didn't learn it from that conservative dragon, did you! Seriously, if not for the fact that he had a Cultivation Method that suited you, I would not let you go there!" Zhu Yan looked helpless and lifted the girl, his eyes full of benevolence.

"Your Highness, is Lyu Liang the person you are looking for?" After the girl got up, she also regained her calm and kept her momentum up.

At this time, Zhu Yan's eyes suddenly became red, and there was still a hint of greenness in his eyes. He looked up and laughed, "Yes! Ever since that old stupid turtle lost it, I have been looking for it for a thousand years! Unexpectedly, it belonged to a contractor who probably has a Shadow Domain Beast because I could not see through him clearly."

"Your Highness, why not I kill him directly and snatch over the Demon Emperor Horn! If your identity is discovered, it will cause a lot of trouble!" The girl's cold eyes revealed a killing intent.

"Don't, don't do that! I am quite satisfied with this little guy! There is a ban on the ancient contract, and I am not afraid to be recognized by the chaotic divine beast. Moreover, I now have a good chance to enter his team that is going to the Land of Origin. I haven't had such a comfortable feeling for a long time, and I want to enjoy it only as 'Zhu Yan'!" Zhu Yan seemed very happy, then he added, "You go back and tell the three old guys, just say that I have already succeeded, and I will not allow any intervention in this matter, or else they shouldn't blame me for not taking care of my tribe!"
