As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Yi Chen
Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, twelve summers had passed since Fairy Miaoyin rescued the baby. There was no news of the Blood Demon hiding in the back mountain of Xuan Qing, and Ning Village was still as quiet as before, quietly sitting at the foot of Xuan Qing Mountain.

“Xiao Yichen! Little bastard, if you have the guts, just stand there for me! If I catch you, I’ll break your dog leg!” The mountain road was still a little muddy two days ago. He didn’t know where he came from, but he suddenly scolded, “Xiao Yichen! Little bastard, if you have the guts, stop!”

On the muddy mountain road, there was a thirteen or fourteen year old youth dressed in brocade clothes, followed by two servants. He was chasing after a youth in front of him. This youth was none other than Xiao Yichen, the baby boy that Fairy Miaoyin had saved back then.

“Prince Zhao, if you can catch up with me, I’ll break your leg!”

The youth was already panting, but his mouth was still unyielding. As he ran, he provoked the other party. The brocade-clothed youth behind him was so angry that he sprinted forward. On the contrary, the two servants behind him were extremely tired. “Young Master … Young Master, why don’t you let this little bastard run away and deal with him later …”

“You two useless trash! If you don’t catch that little bastard today, I’ll let my father break your legs!”

Zhao Wangsun shouted coldly, instantly frightening the two servants to the point that their legs went limp and they hurriedly ran up.

Yichen glanced back and secretly smiled. Yours Truly won’t kill you today! As he ran, he found his way to a bush and suddenly stopped to take a breath.

Seeing that he was finally unable to run, Prince Zhao’s face revealed a ruthless smile. He suddenly pounced forward. Yichen saw him pouncing over and found the right opportunity to roll towards the grass. Prince Zhao’s Sun Li pounced on the grass, but the grass sank. With a plump sound, Prince Zhao fell into a large pit and immediately screamed miserably.

When Yi Chen saw him fall into the trap, he laughed heartily. He pointed at the trap and said, “Prince Zhao, this was originally used to hunt wild boars. Today, I hit something fatter than wild boars. No loss! No loss!”

“Xiao Yichen! I will kill you!”

Zhao Wangsun’s eyes were red with anger, and his tears flowed with pain. He looked extremely miserable. Seeing this, the two servants behind him were instantly frightened out of their wits. Now that he went back, he would let Master know that they had to lose a layer of skin!

When Yi Chen saw the two servants rushing up, he turned around and ran. However, he felt that something was wrong while running. This place seemed to be almost at the back of the mountain. He remembered that Ah Niang had said that there were often wild beasts in the back of the mountain … Ah! Forget it, let’s get rid of the three Plague Gods first!

“Little bastard! Stop!”

Zhao Wangsun was rescued by two servants and quickly caught up. Yi Chen looked behind and spat, “Pah! Next time I dig deeper, a wild boar won’t be able to hold it.”

“Little bastard! You forced me to use a magic treasure! This magic treasure is powerful, and if you die, your life will be short!” Zhao Wangsun scolded.

As he spoke, he really saw that he had the appearance of twisting his fingers and forming seals. He started chanting incantations. When the incantation was over, a green light suddenly flew out of his sleeve and shot straight towards Yichen’s back. However, when he saw that the green light was moving very quickly, how could Yichen avoid it? “Aiyo”, he almost fell into the ravine.

“Let’s see where you run to this time!”

As Prince Sun Zhao chanted the curse, he controlled the azure light to continuously hit Yi Chen, causing him to jump up and down like a monkey, causing him to grimace in pain.

From the looks of it, that “magic treasure” was a cyan scabbard. Yichen immediately thought that it was not good. Where did this fellow get such a powerful magic treasure? Oh, not good! This time, she had to die at his hands. Auntie was still waiting for her to go back to eat!

Actually, what kind of magic treasure was this? It was just an ordinary scabbard that had cast a little spell.

It turned out that the Zhao Clan’s general situation was great, and Zhao Yuwai didn’t know which generation of cultivators he was fortunate to have given birth to a daughter, but he actually opened his spiritual roots. Four years ago, he was favored by the disciples of Xuanqing Sect who went down the mountain to train and took him to Xuanqing Sect to cultivate.

The Zhao Clan was even more impressive when they had a daughter who had joined the Immortal Sect. The scabbard in Zhao Wangsun’s hand was given to him by his sister Zhao Ying’er, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he gave it to the scabbard instead of the sword.

But with this scabbard, Zhao Wangsun became even more lawless. No one dared to provoke him in the Eight Villages. However, Xiao Yichen could not see it anymore. This was finally the end of the story.

Twilight was vast, rocks were rugged, and the mountain path was getting more and more dangerous. Behind them, Prince Zhao was still chasing after them. Seeing that there was no way to go, Yi Chen clenched his teeth and followed a cliff. The fog below the cliff was hazy and bottomless. Even when the stone fell, there was no echo.

Yi Chen’s heart was hanging in his throat, but he had no choice but to forcibly go over. He thought that even if Prince Zhao had ten more guts, he would never dare to chase after him again.

“Little bastard! You’re still running!”

Zhao Wangsun chased after Yi Chen to the edge of the cliff. He had always been unrestrained and unrestrained. At this moment, he didn’t care about human life. He controlled the scabbard to attack Yi Chen again. This time, he really took Yi Chen’s life. He heard a cry of alarm. Yi Chen’s feet slipped and he fell down the cliff.

Twilight gradually closed in, and the last glimmer of light from the horizon submerged into the mountain range. The surrounding rocks were rugged and strange trees were standing in all directions. The darkness of the night was even more gloomy. Yi Chen did not know where he had landed, but he felt as if his limbs and bones were about to fall apart. With a slight movement, he felt a burst of pain coming from his heart.

“Aiyo! Damn it, I fell to my death …”

He rubbed his shoulders. Fortunately, when he landed, he was wrapped in a tree vine. He didn’t hurt his muscles and bones, but his entire body would inevitably be scratched.

Yi Chen looked around blankly and felt that the surroundings were gloomy. Where was this place? In the past, Niang had always warned him that wild beasts were often seen in the back mountains, so he was not allowed to come over. Now that it was getting dark, how could he return? Forget it, let’s see if there’s a way out.

After walking for a while, the sky darkened and rocks began to scatter everywhere. Yi Chen gradually felt a little panicked, as if these vegetation and rocks were all formed by elves and ghosts. Just now, when he was at the top, he didn’t feel that now that he had landed here, he couldn’t help but feel fear in his heart. Although this place was at the foot of Mysterious Cyan Mountain, there were many ghosts and gods in the world. At this moment, he felt that there were two eyes staring at him from behind, causing his hair to stand on end.

“Who?”

His entire body trembled. Yi Chen quickly turned around, but there wasn’t any movement. However, at that moment, he clearly felt that someone was staring at him. Could it be that he was scaring him? Niang said that there were only wild beasts and no one here, but why …
