CHAPTER 1542: CHAPTER 1542: CLOSING IN STEP BY STEP

The two parties parted on bad terms.

After the separation, Luo Yang was even more eager to practice Ferocious Power and the Flying Sword Technique.

Shuiyue and Jinghua were terribly frightened, following Luo Yang on either side.

Luo Yang held both girls’ hands, giving them comfort.

"Sister Yue, Sister Jing, don’t be afraid, I will protect you," said Luo Yang.

Luckily, Shi Sheng Palace still needed Luo Yang’s help, or else he would be doomed.

Shuiyue and Jinghua were under pressure from both sides, their nerves were especially tense.

"Hubby, what should we do?" Shuiyue asked uneasily.

Either they’d be killed by Skull Fortress or die at the hands of Shi Sheng Palace, either way, there’s no path to survival in sight.

Luo Yang said seriously, "I said I would protect you, and I will."

Both girls clung tightly to Luo Yang’s waist, afraid he would leave at any moment.

After calling a taxi for them and watching them head back to the hotel, Luo Yang thought about his own matters.

He had already obtained the Blood Devil, so it was not wise to stay in Tianjiang City any longer.

However, there were two things he had to accomplish before he could leave Tianjiang City.

Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble in the future.

One thing was to have someone teach him Ferocious Power; otherwise, if he had to return to Tianjiang City in the future, that would be bad.

The second was to find out how to use the Chaos Orb and discover the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil.

The former is manageable, but the latter gives Luo Yang a headache.

The Lord of Skull Fortress is very cautious and won’t easily reveal information to Luo Yang.

Unless the Lord can be made to swallow the Master Servant Pill, then the answers he seeks might be obtained.

As for the price to pay in the future, it is currently incalculable.

Luo Yang was very clear about one thing: if the Lord found out Luo Yang was manipulating her, she would retaliate madly.

With the power of Skull Fortress, even if Luo Yang isn’t killed, he would be in a very difficult situation.

While pondering, he heard Xue Sha say, "It turns out that monster knows the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil, you must find it out! Also, if you can’t release me from the Chaos Orb, I won’t let you off!"

Luo Yang said, "Miss Mo Ye, don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you."

He flagged down another taxi, got in, and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

Zhu Zishan was still waiting for Luo Yang.

Now, he could only tackle things one at a time, starting with mastering Ferocious Power.

From all indications, a fierce battle could break out at any moment.

If he couldn’t improve his skills, Luo Yang would find it difficult to survive.

Shadow Fist hadn’t broken through to the Third Level yet; otherwise, there would be some assurance of safety.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, Luo Yang called Zhu Zishan to come down.

When Zhu Zishan came, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Zhu, where are we going?"

Zhu Zishan said, "It might be an hour’s drive."

It turned out that person was once an elder of the Blood Devil Sect, but later retired, with no one knowing the reason why.

The two took a taxi there.

The journey was quite normal.

They got off at a farm in the suburbs, Zhu Zishan led Ye Yun to find the person.

The person called Qing Yan was a white-bearded old man, who invited Zhu Zishan inside his wooden house.

They sat down as host and guest, after a round of tea, Qing Yan sized up Luo Yang and asked, "Young man, without the Blood Devil, you can’t train in Ferocious Power."

Luo Yang said, "You can tell me how to train, maybe it can be done without the Blood Devil."

As they were talking, footsteps were heard.

When the footsteps reached the door, they saw it was Wuweizi!

The three in the room exchanged looks, not anticipating Wuweizi would follow them here.

"Elder!" Luo Yang was taken aback.

"Young brother, Elder Qing Yan." Wuweizi greeted.

When Qing Yan was an elder, Wuweizi was not yet an elder at that time.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Luckily, they already had the Blood Devil, otherwise, there wouldn’t be much chance.

The four sat down, sipping tea, but it was quite a cold atmosphere.

"Young brother, you want to learn Ferocious Power?" Wuweizi asked.

"Yes. I’m with the Blood Devil Sect, it would be inappropriate not to know Ferocious Power." Luo Yang explained.

This statement was half true and half false.

Because Luo Yang was Zhu Zishan’s husband, even though he hadn’t formally joined the Blood Devil Sect, he was considered a part of it.

"Young brother, without the Blood Devil, how do you train in Ferocious Power?"

As he spoke, he watched Luo Yang with intent.

"Elder, do you mean that the Blood Devil is absolutely necessary to train?" Luo Yang countered.

This question left Wuweizi unable to respond.

The people of the Blood Devil Sect all used the Blood Devil to practice Ferocious Power.

"Young brother, have you found the Blood Devil?" Wuweizi couldn’t help but ask.

"Elder, to prove I am not lying, I can let you search me right now. If you want to search her, please find a woman to do it. Do you believe me now?" Luo Yang said coolly.

Wuweizi didn’t respond immediately, clearly wanting very much to search Luo Yang.

At this moment, Qing Yan said, "Elder Wuweizi, may I ask where the Sect Leader went?"

Wuweizi said, "We are also looking for him."

All along, Zhu Zishan felt it was Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi who harmed her father.

At this moment, anger surged in her heart, she asked, "Was my father’s affair related to you?"

Wuweizi was not too shocked and replied coldly, "Miss Zhu, what do you mean by this?"

Emotionally losing control, Zhu Zishan couldn’t stop herself.

"I suspect you were involved! Did you kill my father?" Zhu Zishan asked directly.

"Miss Zhu, you can eat nonsense, but don’t speak nonsense. Didn’t your father teach you?" Wuweizi’s eyes filled with anger.

There were also Wuweizi’s people outside.

If a fight broke out, Luo 杨 himself had nothing to worry about.

But protecting Zhu Zishan wouldn’t be easy.

Unless Qing Yan would stand on his side.

But Qing Yan was an outsider who didn’t care, perhaps he wouldn’t help either side.

Luo Yang held Zhu Zishan’s hand, giving her a signal with his eyes.

Zhu Zishan bit her red lip, sniffed, and did not continue clashing with Wuweizi.

"Young brother, you promised the old man you’d give him the Blood Devil if you found it." Wuweizi said.

"Elder, which eye of yours saw I found the Blood Devil?" Luo Yang asked.

The past two or three times entering the altar, Wuweizi never followed inside.

Whether Luo Yang found the Blood Devil was unknown.

But Luo Yang seeking someone to teach him Ferocious Power suggested he possibly obtained the Blood Devil.

"Young brother, if you and Miss Zhu want a peaceful life, you’d best hand over the Blood Devil!" Wuweizi threatened.

"Elder, from what you’re saying, are you going to make a move on me today?" Luo Yang sneered.

Outdoors, there were unknown how many disciples of the Blood Devil Sect.

For Luo Yang to quickly capture Wuweizi, who knew Ferocious Power, wasn’t realistic.

If they started fighting, Zhu Zishan stood a good chance of getting hurt.

Once Zhu Zishan is taken, Luo Yang would be in a dilemma.

If he doesn’t save her, he won’t bear it.

Saving her meant giving Wuweizi the Blood Devil, which Luo Yang couldn’t do.

Wuweizi said blandly, "Young brother, if I spread the word that you have the Blood Devil, I wouldn’t need to act; naturally, others will come looking for you for it!"

That statement wasn’t an exaggeration.

If the people from Shi Sheng Palace, Jiuyang Hall, and Eight Immortals Hall come demanding the Blood Devil, it would be quite troublesome.

Unless he mastered the Flying Sword Technique, then he wouldn’t fear those people causing trouble.

It’s a pity that the Blood Devil is sealed within the Chaos Orb, possibly rendering the Flying Sword Technique unusable.

Of course, Luo Yang hadn’t learned it yet either.
