Lyu Liang, who was recalling the art of the Mortal Heart Swordsmanship, suddenly saw a flower in front of him. The next moment, he appeared in a forest and standing beside him was Dongfang Xiaoyu who had an excited look on her face. This was the place where the restriction formation tree was located. However, the tree had disappeared without any trace.
The moment he walked out of the restriction formation, a familiar aura and cultivation instantly coursed through his body. In his mind he could hear Black's helpless voice saying, "Liang, since you entered that door, I was forcefully restrained and had to remain on the outside."
At this point, a pleasant male voice could suddenly be heard from above his head, "Haha, elder brother, look. I said that my elder sister must be here! You see, the tree disappeared just as she came out! Erm, who is that by her side?"
Following the voices, three men in white robes appeared. The one who spoke was a handsome teenager who seemed to be very young. He was staring curiously at Lyu Liang.
"It's my elder brother and younger brother!" Dongfang Xiaoyu said softly to Lyu Liang. Her eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance. Then, she gritted her teeth and flew over to her brothers.
"Haha, third brother!" Li Wuyi's sound came from the other direction in the air. Lyu Liang turned to look at him. He saw that Li Wuyi and Zhu Yan were smiling at him. There was a woman dressed in a blue palace robe and a tall stern looking man, standing next to them.
Lyu Liang gazed at them and frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, these two people were members of the former blue-eyed youth's team. Especially the beautiful woman who was considered a leading warrior in the group!
In the preliminary round, Lyu Liang was not aware of it. However, after the qualification round started, Lyu Liang watched their matches. This woman, together with the blue-eyed youth and the sloppy man, were the three people who were entered for the match. What surprised Lyu Liang most was that this woman took the shortest time to end the match!
If they were on the same team with the people that controlled the puppets and attacked Li Wuyi before, it would be a real problem!
However, looking at the current situation, not only did everything go smoothly, but Lyu Liang felt Li Wuyi looking at him with a barely concealed enthusiasm.
Shaking his head, Lyu Liang let go of the distracting thoughts and flew over to greet them.
In the sky, two groups of people were talking respectively about the situation after entering the Land of Origin. After a while, Li Wuyi proposed to look forthe remaining companions. Judging from the status shown on the jade talisman, the two teammates in the South were not far from there and they seemed to have met already.
The team on the other side was still chatting enthusiastically. Sensing that Lyu Liang was about to leave, Dongfang Xiaoyu turned her head suddenly and met Lyu Liang's gaze. Neither of them chose to break their gaze, so they looked at each other for a very long time.
Later, Dongfang Xiaoyu spoke first, "Block head! You must stay alive and leave the Land of Origin! I will become stronger! And beat you in the future!" After saying that, she waved her small fist threateningly at him.
Lyu Liang nodded slightly and showed his standard innocent smile. He responded, "Little fairy, take care! Thank you for your care before and we shall say our farewells here!" After that, he took the lead and flew south. Li Wuyi and others followed him as well.
Dongfang Xiaoyu stared at the direction in which Lyu Liang left until she could no longer see them. Then she turned back.
"Elder brother, elder brother! Look, look! Something is wrong! That silly guy called sister 'Little Fairy' and she didn't even frown! Moreover, she now has such an affectionate look on her face, is it... this is no small matter!" The handsome boy's eyes widened as he murmured to the tall young man, who looked like him.
"If you don't want to die, shut up! You have finally passed the qualification round. Don't get yourself killed by your sister now!" The tall young man whispered back.
"Maybe I was wrong. That guy looked so silly and I am sure elder sister will never fall for him!" The handsome boy nodded thoughtfully.
"Who are you calling silly? Lyu Liang is very strong, even if the three of us are tied together, we are not strong enough to fight with him!" Apparently, Dongfang Xiaoyu overheard something as she turned around and began to refute what her brother said.
"Oh? Is the sun coming out from the west? Elder sister actually praised someone else and belittled herself! Oh my god, sister, are you in love with him?" The curiosity of the handsome young man made him forget about his elder brother's advice.
At this time, the tall young man's nerves were already tightly stretched, ready to rush to stop his sister who could turn violent anytime. Then, he and his brother both gaped in surprise.
Dongfang Xiaoyu showed a womanly gesture that she had never revealed before: she lowered her head and pulled at a small corner of her clothes. She then whispered, "Don't, don't say that. He has a Taoist companion already."
The handsome young boy's look suddenly changed. With a loud thud, he pulled out the long sword from the scabbard and crossed it in front of him. He pointed it at Dongfang Xiaoyu and said, "How dare you, demon! How dare you to take over the soul of my sister! Get out now!"
Dongfang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and then her face turned gloomy. Suddenly only a residual shadow remained in place. The next moment, her hands were around the neck of the handsome young boy as she swung him back and forth, gritting her teeth, "Dumb idiot! I haven't used this 'super big swing' move to teach you a lesson for a long while! Today I will let you experience the upgraded version!"
"Elder, elder brother, quick, quick help..." the handsome young boy's eyes were almost rolling up.
The tall young man smiled wanly and he stepped forward to pull away a furious Dongfang Xiaoyu. The handsome young boy was saved and with a flash, he disappeared.
Then, in the sunset, there were four figures, the one who escaped, the one who chased and the two followers and gradually they disappeared into the horizon.
On the other side, based on Li Wuyi's random description, Lyu Liang had finally come to understand the basic situation of his days.
Li Wuyi was quite unlucky because shortly after he entered the Land of Origin, he was caught by two Demon Clan youths, who forced him to surrender all his magic treasures.
Of course, Li Wuyi was unwilling to do that, so they ended up fighting. However, the two of them were much stronger than him and just when he thought his strength was fading, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared!
In less than thirty minutes, the fairy who looked a bit fragile, had overpowered the two Demon Clan youths! Naturally, Li Wuyi thanked her profusely. It also happened that they were both going in the same direction and thus, considering that they were both Human Clan people, the two accompanied each other for the trip.
After their arrival, they found the restriction formation of the big tree, but they couldn't break it. Hence, they went to the south to look for the others first. It was there that they met Zhu Yan and the stern-faced man.
Later, Li Wuyi proposed to return to the restriction formation at the tree. They were just in time to catch up with Lyu Liang who had exited from the formation.
As for the relationship between Lyu Liang and Dongfang Xiaoyu, Lyu Liang simply explained that they happened to come across a fortune and he could only come out after seven days in that space. For the benefit of Lyu Liang, Li Wuyi was smart enough not to ask what he had obtained, in front of the outsiders. Even though he trusted the beautiful woman, there was still that stern looking man there.
Three days later, Lyu Liang and others met Shangguan Ying and Xu Mubai who had come from the east. At the same time, there was also the blue-eyed youth and the sloppy man.
According to Xu Mubai, the two of them met the day they entered the Land of Origin. However, later, their trip had more twists and turns than others.
They have already encountered four fights on their way. The most troublesome one happened two days ago when they met a group of five people from the Devil Clan! Originally, Xu Mubai wanted to run away as quickly as possible. After all, even though they were on the same level, two against five was not an easy task.
When they were about to escape, the sloppy man and the blue-eyed man appeared. The demon team, upon realizing that the two of them did not have the intention to run, changed the direction of their spear. However, the result was nothing like what they expected.
According to Xu Mubai's principle of doing things, since the two people of Human Clan were besieged, they could not run away so easily. Just as he was about to join the fight, suddenly five huge puppets, each at a height of 22 feet appeared at the side of the blue-eyed youth. Each of them emitted the aura of Early-stage of Nascent Soul... The result was as expected. With only a few moves, the Devil Clan was killed and nothing was left.
Later, the two men invited Xu Mubai to walk with them. After all, the Human Clan was at a disadvantage here, so it was better to unite with them.
By now, Lyu Liang's team had gathered together and the team of the blue-eyed man was short of one member. While Lyu Liang was wondering if they should go their separate ways, the sloppy man suddenly approached them.
At the same time, inside the Interspatial Bracelet, the Demon Emperor Horn which had always been very quiet suddenly began to vibrate and emit loud noises! Lyu Liang had never encountered this sort of situation before, so he had not put any restriction on it. Now he had become the focus of everyone's gaze.
Just as Lyu Liang was trying to concoct a lie, the sloppy man turned his palm over suddenly and a Demon Emperor Horn that exuded a strong Demon Qi,emerged in front of everyone..
Lyu Liang and others were stunned for a moment and then the sloppy man smiled and said, "Taoism peer, so you also have the qualification to enter the core area! No wonder. The Demon Emperor Horn would only resonate under when there is another one nearby and if I am not wrong, you also have one, right?"
Since the other party was open and honest, Lyu Liang did not need to hide any longer. Without any hesitation, he took out the Demon Emperor Horn and the two smiled at one another knowingly. Then they kept the horns and Lyu Liang also placed a ban on the Interspatial Bracelet.
Later, the sloppy man proposed that since they were all Human Clan people and both happened to have the qualifications to enter the core area, they should form an alliance and travel together. In this way, the safety factor for everyone would also increase significantly.
Li Wuyi was the first to raise his hands in favour of this; even an idiot could see that he was doing this because he was smitten by the beautiful woman.
As a leader, Lyu Liang pondered upon this proposal and agreed. Although the other party was a puppet user, he could not see any signs of greed in them, unlike the other puppet-users that he had encountered before.
Especially the beautiful woman, she had a lot of opportunities to kill Li Wuyi. However, she did not kill him. Instead, she protected him. For whatever reason, they were not out to harm anyone
When Lyu Liang understood that, he also agreed. After that, everything would be smooth sailing. The two teams united and helped each other. They decided that they would spend the next three years wandering about the outer territory of the Land of Origin and then enter the core area together.
The most important thing was the transmitted voice from Shangguan Ying which consoled Lyu Liang eventually. Earlier, she had secretly made her prediction and the image showed that the other team would not mess things up. Instead, they would provide some form of help.
One day later, the last member who had a pock-marked face, returned to the team of the blue-eyed man. Two teams, ten people, began to explore the outer territory of the Land of Origin.
On the way, the sloppy man quicky hit it off with Li Wuyi and Zhu Yan. The team that was already very lively had even more entertainment now, especially when the sloppy man often talked about the embarrassing things that happened between Taoist couples. As a result, Wuyi and Zhu Yan's faces were always beaming in excitement!
Shangguan Ying, who was deeply embarassed, had been pulled to the side by Lyu Liang. Most of the time, it was the beautiful woman who could not tolerate their conversation and she took out a thunderous magic treasure at the Void Return stage and flung it at the three filthy guys to separate them.
After this, the trio learned to be more discreet. They often gathered together in a group. They either whispered or transmitted their voices. Anyway, from the filthy smiles on their faces, everyone knew that they were talking about nothing good. Nevertheless, they did not affect the others, so the beautiful woman chose to let them go.
The three people who claimed to have met each other too late actually gave themselves a refined name, called "long-lost trio of confidants." Finally, under the unanimous contempt of everyone, they were called "Three shameless thieves"
