Chapter 256 Critical Moment
In a bustling city, Zhang Liang brought a mysterious man into an abandoned basement.
After a while, the man slowly opened his eyes, and there was no longer the violent murderous intent from last night in his eyes. Zhang Liang untied the restraints on the corners of his mouth, and the man whispered: "It's dawn, the magic power has been suppressed and will not get out of control, you can let me go."
Zhang Liang nodded, and Zhou Yan immediately chanted a spell, and a golden thread flew out, gently untied the restraints, and returned to his hands. Then, a layer of light mist rose from the man's body, covering his entire body, and Zhang Liang and Zhou Yan could not peek inside.
As the fog slowly dissipated, a woman in a black cloak appeared before them. Her face was covered, but one could feel that she was once a stunning beauty. "It's been many years since we last met. How are the four elders?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan knew that she must be an old friend of the sect.
Zhou Yan replied, "The four elders are all fine. They are sleeping underground, their lives are continuing, and they can be awakened at any time. Senior sister, tell me about your story." The woman shook her head, "I don't have the face to see Master and the elders again, you guys pretend I'm not here. Thank you for last night, the magic power is more dangerous than before, I will destroy myself before it really breaks out, I won't threaten the sect, and I won't hurt the elders, please rest assured."
Zhou Yan said again: "Sister, maybe you misunderstood. We are here to find you on the orders of our master. He may be able to treat you." The woman thought for a moment and asked: "Which elder is your master?" "It is the great elder Bai He."
When the white crane was mentioned, Zhang Liang noticed the woman's body trembling slightly. It was obvious that she had a special relationship with the Great Elder. The woman chuckled and said, "The Great Elder has accepted another disciple. Is he okay?" Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Master is in good health, but he has been very sad over the years. I am the Great Elder's new disciple in the past few hundred years. He has always been concerned about Senior Sister Lin Yu. He often sighed that if he had not let Senior Sister Lin Yu take risks, these things would not have happened. It really hurt her. It is said that Master was in a coma for a long time because of Senior Sister Lin Yu's disappearance."
At this time, Zhang Liang noticed that the woman's body was trembling slightly, although she tried her best to hide it. Zhou Yan then asked: "I wonder if this senior sister has seen Senior Sister Lin Yu?" The woman smiled and shook her head and said: "Senior Sister Lin Yu disappeared after entering, and we have not seen her again."
Zhou Yan nodded in disappointment and was about to continue asking when suddenly a voice rang out from Zhou Yan: "Disciple, why do you have to do this?" The woman heard the voice and cried out "Master". Zhang Liang recognized that it was the voice of the old man in white robe. Then, a bead floated out from Zhou Yan's body, emitting light and gradually transformed into the image of the old man in white robe, who was the great elder Bai He.
The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man in white robes: "Master, I'm sorry for worrying you all these years. But I have become like this, I can't go back, and I'm afraid of bringing danger to you." The old man in white robes in the light and shadow shed tears and gently stroked the woman's hair: "Come back, I understand everything, it's not your fault, come back, no one will blame you."
The woman shook her head firmly: "I can't go back in my current state, and it will cause trouble to Master and the elders. I am satisfied to be able to watch you from afar. Master, don't be embarrassed." At this time, Zhang Liang pulled Zhou Yan, who was still in a daze, and led him out of the basement.
Zhang Liang let out a long sigh: "Let the master and disciple be quiet for a while, we don't want to disturb you. By the way, what is that bead?" Zhou Yan explained: "It is a life-saving item I carry with me. It contains half of the master's soul. At the critical moment, the master will appear."
Zhang Liang nodded. Since that encounter, he compared the fairyland described by the old man in white robe with the one in his memory and found that the two were not the same. Although some of the cultivation spells were similar, there were still differences. The era in which the old man in white robe lived was not the world of Taixuan Immortal Venerable.
In Taixuan Immortal Venerable's memory, nothing like what the old man in white robe had experienced had happened, so it was determined that they were not in the same world. Zhang Liang and Zhou Yan waited outside. Not long after, the woman walked out of the basement, but stopped at the door. Zhang Liang and Zhou Yan approached, Zhou Yan took the beads from the woman's hand and saluted to the woman: "Senior sister, come back with us, we will definitely be able to cure you."
The woman shook her head: "It's inconvenient to go back, and the magic attacks every night will bother you. The suppression of the formation here is beneficial to me, you go back! Master has told me everything. This is the map of the inheritance land. Take a look, maybe it will increase your hope of survival." Zhang Liang took the map and put it in his arms: "Thank you, young lady, you have great perseverance and will be free sooner or later. I wish you can get out of the predicament as soon as possible."
The woman smiled and nodded, then turned and left. In this way, Zhang Liang and Zhou Yan completed their mission and returned to the palace together. On the way, the two chatted and laughed, and their relationship became closer. Passing the area with red fruits again, they secretly picked two more. Zhou Yan led the Purple Blood Divine Eagle away, and Zhang Liang quickly picked the fruits, and the two left. When the Purple Blood Divine Eagle came back, it found that two more fruits were missing, and it immediately howled in anger.
