Chapter 485: A gift from Liang Yu

While Shangguan Ye was in self-doubt, Liang Yu looked at the Eon Lock handed over to him and fell silent.

Even if he was foolish, he knew that something was wrong with the sudden departure of those two, especially the last words left by the Little Golden Man.

What made It directly abandon the idea of acting?

Liang Yu reviewed all the details after taking out the Eon Lock, finally focusing on Shangguan Ye after he activated his Super Beast Armor.

All the anomalies pointed to that Super Beast Armor’s divine beast, the Qilin.

It was also his first time seeing a Super Beast modified from a divine beast, and combining that with their performance at the time, this was the only explanation.

As for why, Liang Yu was a little confused.

Deep within the Gods and Demons Abyss.

Wu Zhiqi’s undisguised laughter continuously echoed through the surrounding space, clearly deliberate on Its part.

Along with the laughter, Its mocking words also spread.

“Why did you suddenly chicken out?”

“Are you afraid?”

“Hahahahahahaha!!!”

Disturbed by Wu Zhiqi’s laughter, many suppressed beings deep within the Gods and Demons Abyss opened their eyes, enveloping the area with their divine sense.

The next moment, they understood everything that Wu Zhiqi and the Little Golden Man’s two consciousness projections had experienced, and most of them were curious about the Bright Realm.

However, there was one being who was even more enraged than the Little Golden Man had been at the time.

A powerful beast roar echoed through the Gods and Demons Abyss, waking up the remaining gods and demons.

From the core of the deep abyss, a burst of curses suddenly erupted.

“Mutt, you woke me up, shut your dog mouth.”

“Everyone go back, don’t wander out!”

As the words fell, a ripple spread through the depths, crushing all the spectating demon gods back, leaving only Wu Zhiqi and a path leading to the core.

The divine beast Qilin, who was called a mutt, did not mention the insult and left a remark when It was driven back.

“Consider yourself sensible.”

These words were for the Little Golden Man, while Wu Zhiqi was still laughing immorally at the original spot.

It understood the other party’s concerns, and It would have done the same.

Could It not defeat that Qilin?

The answer was definitely It could, but the Qilin clan was completely insane, notorious for protecting their own, and as long as you dared to make a move, they would fight you to the end regardless of the consequences.

It was truly annoying, which was why many gods and demons were unwilling to have any conflict with the Qilin clan; they couldn’t stand it, they truly couldn’t stand their incessant attacks.

And now, Wu Zhiqi was certain that Qilin was probably already enraged, and It expected that the Emperor would soon be in trouble.

Meanwhile, back with Liang Yu, facing the Eon Lock handed over by Shangguan Ye, Liang Yu thought it over repeatedly and decided to give it to him.

After all, the other party already knew the location of this city, and if he wasn’t here next time, the city lord wouldn’t be able to resist.

However, his only concern was how to make Shangguan Ye keep quiet about the Eon Lock; his own existence being exposed didn’t matter, as West Sand City had already appeared, and he had entered so high-profilely.

Shangguan Ye did not get a reply from Liang Yu, so he turned his gaze to him.

Noticing that the other party kept staring at the Eon Lock without any intention of taking it back, Shangguan Ye also began to fathom the thoughts of this demon god before him.

Suddenly, Shangguan Ye said without hesitation.

“I will keep this matter buried in my heart.”

“If Your Excellency is worried that I will reveal the secret, you can kill me now, but I only ask that Your Excellency spare the innocent people of the city lord.”

After speaking, Shangguan Ye closed his eyes, with a solemn expression of sacrificing himself, awaiting the final answer.

Liang Yu nodded, quite satisfied with this answer, so he did not take back the Eon Lock in his hand; instead, he took out two more blue and gold Eon Locks and placed them in his hand.

He also left him with a message.

“I hope you dream big, and take care of yourself.”

Then, enveloped by the Light Emperor War Dragon, he transformed into a golden streak of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing from the spot.

Shangguan Ye looked at the three Eon Locks in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew the weight of these items and understood that it was a sign of trust in him.

At this moment, he secretly vowed to guard this secret well.

The soldiers nearby only dared to slowly approach after Liang Yu had left.

Seeing the approaching people, Shangguan Ye also put away the three Eon Locks and calmly directed the remaining matters.

Liang Yu giving him three Eon Locks had a reason.

He still had some impression that Super Beasts could combine, and giving Shangguan Ye three was to allow him to piece together a three-in-one combination.

With the Qilin plus the Dragon and the Elephant combining into one, dealing with them, as long as their true bodies didn’t descend, wouldn’t be too big of a problem, and it could also attract some hatred towards him.

The most important point was that Shangguan Ye currently had an obvious weakness, which was the people in the city.

Liang Yu didn’t understand the other party’s past, nor did he want to know his history; he only knew that the people of this city were his soft spot, so he was quite at ease with such a person.

Not long after, Liang Yu reappeared in the city. He could have left directly, but halfway through his flight, he remembered Hui Nian, whom he had forgotten again.

Helplessly, he could only return to find him again.

It just so happened that as soon as Liang Yu found Hui Nian in the city, he ran out of a side room, his clothes disheveled.

Hui Nian’s face, neck, and chest were all covered with traces of battle, and he was very familiar with these traces. He knew without a doubt what Hui Nian had experienced last night.

That was a big step in growth, something worth celebrating.

After Hui Nian fled the mansion, he tidied his messy clothes in an alley.

Liang Yu appeared behind him without a sound, muttering at the same time.

“When the youth is strong, the nation is strong; when the maiden is strong, the youth leans against the wall.”

“Look, this is a youth leaning against the wall, truly a bit weak!”

Hui Nian heard this familiar yet somewhat mischievous voice and turned his head in a startled manner.

His voice also became a bit stammering.

“You… you… you… saw… it?”

Liang Yu still had a mischievous smile, taking out a mirror to let him see the ‘decorations’ on his face now.

Looking at Hui Nian’s face covered with lipstick marks, Liang Yu teased again.

“Do you think Zen Master Qizhen will kill me if he finds out?”

“I brought you out, and I only failed to watch you for one night, and you actually did such a thing.”

Although Hui Nian was extremely embarrassed and angry at the moment, he still explained to Liang Yu.

Simply put, too many soldiers sacrificed their lives on the border every year, so the Zen Sect also made concessions for the dynasty, and marriage was permitted.

He couldn’t say the rest of the words, and Liang Yu didn’t force him.

After Hui Nian had tidied himself up, he then began to tell Liang Yu about the Black-robed Man.

However, as he narrated, he gradually noticed that Liang Yu’s gaze towards him was becoming strange.
