Chapter 409: Not at ease
Although Zhang Liang did not know the true identity of the man in the cloud, he had a vague guess. He did not dare to act rashly, because the man in the cloud was powerful enough to destroy him easily. This man not only had the ability to kill masters in a blink of an eye, but was also unfathomable and always hidden in the black cloud, which added a bit of mystery.
After Zhao Gao died, the man in the clouds spoke in a deep voice accompanied by thunder: "Boy, you saved my descendant of the Demon God, and I should be rewarded handsomely, but I can see that you are not from this world. I don't know why you are here, but I don't want to get involved. I have blocked the world's perception of what happened today. As long as you keep it secret, no one will know. You should understand what to do, right?"
Zhang Liang did not dare to neglect: "I understand, kid, but you took Hei Yu away today, when will you let him return?"
"I have my reasons for taking him away. You shouldn't ask. It won't do you any good to know."
The demon's words contained the power of the soul, although weak, it almost made Zhang Liang's spirit collapse. At the critical moment, he took a breath into his throat and avoided coma.
Seeing this, the demon god put away his power and said calmly: "Boy, remember your promise. I am leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark cloud carrying the demon god rose rapidly into the sky. In an instant, the dark cloud dissipated, the thunder subsided, and the world returned to peace.
Zhang Liang had a headache. "This demon god acted so carelessly and left a lot of trouble. How can I deal with it? Forget it. I don't want to think about it for now. I have a terrible headache. I will take Bai Yu back first."
Zhang Liang picked up Bai Yu from the ground and quickly left the ruins.
After returning to his room, Zhang Liang could no longer hold on. He put Bai Yu on the bed and fell asleep himself.
Overnight, the imperial city underwent a dramatic change. Zhao Gao was dead, his mansion was destroyed, and the citizens were talking about it, but everyone's face was filled with joy. The death of a corrupt official made the people extremely happy.
The protagonist Zhang Liang was still sleeping on the bed.
It was not until the evening that Zhang Liang woke up and saw Yu Ji sitting beside the bed, smiling. Zhang Liang was startled and quickly shrank back. "I didn't expect that this brave general would be frightened by a woman like me."
"What warrior are you talking about? Why do you say that?"
"Your Excellency went out in the evening and returned home late at night, covered in blood. I just heard that Zhao Gao was dead, and I wondered who else could it be except your Excellency?" Yu Ji said, and moved closer to Zhang Liang, their eyes met. Zhang Liang smelled Yu Ji's faint fragrance, and a hint of indescribable sweetness, and his face immediately blushed. Although he, Zhang Liang, was a fearless hero, he was like a young boy who had just begun to fall in love in front of Yu Ji, and he was actually shy.
"The master went out and brought back a little boy. I didn't expect that the master had such a hobby." After saying this, Yu Ji covered her mouth and chuckled.
Hearing this, Zhang Liang suddenly thought of Bai Yu, but he was no longer around. He hurriedly asked Yu Ji, "Where is Bai Yu?"
"Are you talking about the boy who is sleeping next to you? I have asked someone to take him to the guest room to rest so as not to disturb you."
Zhang Liang got up quickly. Although Bai Yu had obtained his life seed and temporarily saved his life, Zhao Gao's seal was still there, and Bai Yu's life was still in danger. He must check Bai Yu's condition as soon as possible, remove the seal left by Zhao Gao, and let Bai Yu wake up, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Hei Yu.
Zhang Liang put on his clothes and, under the guidance of Yu Ji, went to the guest room where Bai Yu was.
As soon as he stepped into Bai Yu’s room, Zhang Liang immediately realized something was wrong. What Bai Yu was emitting was not life energy, but a strong magical energy?
Zhang Liang immediately walked to Bai Yu, helped him up, put his hands on his shoulders, and let his true energy flow into Bai Yu's body through his palms, and began to check his physical condition.
As soon as the true energy entered his body, Zhang Liang immediately discovered something unusual. It turned out that the seal that Zhao Gao had left in Bai Yu's body had disappeared, and the seal that he had previously inserted to suppress Zhao Gao had also disappeared. The seal that would have originally absorbed Bai Yu's vitality, as well as the seal that Zhang Liang had secretly inserted, had now disappeared, replaced by the thick magic energy flowing in Bai Yu's body.
The strange thing is that this magical energy just circulated in Bai Yu's body without taking any other action. It seemed very calm, but Zhang Liang was not at ease.
Zhang Liang clearly remembered that Heiyu had once told him about his and Baiyu's childhood experiences. It was the demonic energy in Heiyu that continued to affect Baiyu's immortal fetus, causing Baiyu's vitality to weaken.
However, Zhang Liang remembered it wrongly. Bai Yu's vitality did not decline initially because of Hei Yu's magic power, but because he was contaminated with death energy at birth and failed to become a complete immortal fetus. The original balance between immortal and demon became due to Bai Yu's insufficient immortal power, and Hei Yu's demonic energy continued to flow into Bai Yu's body. The immortal energy and demonic energy in the body conflicted, continuously consuming Bai Yu's vitality...
Now, the supernatural power in Bai Yu's body is actually deliberately left in his body by a mysterious force. As soon as the leader of this force appeared, he noticed that Bai Yu had a rare gifted physique, and the information network he controlled naturally revealed the connection between Bai Yu and Hei Yu. The supernatural power he left in Bai Yu's body not only lifted the suppression seal imposed by Zhao Gao and Zhang Liang, but also began to continuously impact Bai Yu's body, trying to eliminate the hidden dark power. However, because this dark power has been rooted in Bai Yu's body for a long time and penetrated into every cell, the removal process is extremely difficult.
At this moment, Zhang Liang, who didn't know what was going on, was eagerly looking for a way to expel the supernatural power in Bai Yu's body. He had no choice but to try to use his own energy to force the supernatural power out of his body. He was not sure whether this method would work, so he could only give it a try.
Zhang Liang gathered his true qi and injected it into Bai Yu's body, but as soon as it came into contact, it was immediately rejected by Bai Yu's supernatural power, and that power squeezed Zhang Liang's true qi out without hesitation. When he tried to inject true qi again, he found that he could not enter Bai Yu's body. The supernatural power was like a barrier, blocking Zhang Liang's true qi from entering.
Zhang Liang was completely discouraged. This power seemed invulnerable and did not give him any chance at all. However, he felt that this power in Bai Yu's body did not seem to have any malice. So, he sat quietly aside and guarded Bai Yu. Yu Ji did not ask any more questions, but just stood quietly beside Zhang Liang.
From noon to dusk, Zhang Liang guarded Bai Yu silently, while Yu Ji stayed quietly beside him. Although the two did not talk, they understood each other's minds.
Time passed minute by minute, and the supernatural power in Bai Yu's body continued to wash over his body. During this period, Bai Yu coughed up black blood and mist, which made Zhang Liang terrified every time, fearing that something might happen to Bai Yu.
Until late at night, the supernatural powers in Bai Yu's body stopped attacking. After a moment of silence, they gathered together, flew away from Bai Yu's body, and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
After the power left, Zhang Liang quickly injected his true energy into Bai Yu's body to check his physical condition. He was surprised to find that after the power left, the dried blood in Bai Yu's body gradually regained vitality and began to flow slowly. Bai Yu, who was originally lifeless, seemed to be reborn at this moment.
