As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1014
Chapter 1014 Ling’er
At that time, the sky was about to brighten, revealing the blurry outline of the mountain range in the distance. At this time, there was a sharp cry of an eagle in the air. Leng Baihu raised his head and saw three or four eagles circling and gliding in the sky. He said, “Those are the falcons tamed by my father. They are very smart. With them here, we are not afraid of getting lost. Brother Wu Chen, let’s go.”
Even if the two of them headed deeper into the mountains, if they encountered a steep mountain range, they would be able to pass through it even if they used their qinggong.
After that, the two of them searched the mountain for three days. Nothing happened during this period. However, Xiao Chen always remembered that he no longer had the same cultivation as before. He had to be careful not to let the cultivators in the mountain discover his whereabouts. Otherwise, he might cause unnecessary trouble.
Leng Baihu was also very vigilant and cautious. After three days, he walked out of the sadness of his horse’s death. The most important thing now was to help Brother Wu Chen find SorrowlessValley’s whereabouts.
At this moment, another long eagle howl sounded in the sky. Two eagles circled above their heads.
Leng Baihu looked up and said, “Looks like they may have found the direction of SorrowlessValley’s entrance … Brother Wu Chen, let’s quickly follow!”
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped him. Leng Baihu turned around and looked around. He lowered his voice a little, “Brother Wu Chen, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Chen stared at the valley in front of him and remained silent. Although the two of them hadn’t encountered any dangers over the past few days, that didn’t mean that this place was safe.
He had previously discovered that there were quite a few cultivators entering this deep mountain, but in these three days, he had never seen anyone riding a sword in midair.
Thinking about it, there must be some kind of restriction inside. Also, the cultivators who entered the mountains were unwilling to let others discover it. If they were to use the sword, the target would be exposed too much and they would definitely be discovered. Therefore, he had not seen anyone use the sword from the sky until today.
“This way.”
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen chose a dense forest with a concealed terrain. With a falcon exploring the sky, the two of them felt much more relaxed, so they wouldn’t blindly search for it and sink into some dangerous places.
At dusk, the two of them arrived at a secluded valley. Xiao Chen could vaguely sense a weak Spiritual Energy coming from the front of them. Leng Baihu naturally only knew a little about the Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Array. He had only seen it from the book. However, Xiao Chen knew that the Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Array would definitely be extraordinary.
“Be careful.”
Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious. He walked in front, and Leng Baihu carefully followed behind him, vigilant against any dangers in his surroundings.
After arriving at the valley, the array Spiritual Energy gradually became much clearer. Even Leng Baihu could faintly feel an unusual “aura”.
“Brother Wu Chen, have you noticed that the aura here … seems a little strange?”
At this moment, the expression on Leng Baihu’s face became very serious. His right hand was also tightly pressed against the hilt of the sword. In fact, there was no lack of people in the mortal world who were extremely sensitive to everything in the world.
As for Leng Baihu’s perception of the world, it was much sharper than that of ordinary people. Therefore, even if he traveled alone in Jianghu, he would often be able to avoid many dangers. And the “aura field” he sensed was actually the array Xiao Chen that Spiritual Energy sensed.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Just as he was leaning forward, he suddenly felt the aura of two cultivators coming from the other side.
Just as Leng Baihu was about to say something, Xiao Chen immediately made a silent gesture and pulled him to hide behind a rock in a bush beside him.
Seeing his expression suddenly become so nervous, Leng Baihu immediately knew that someone was coming. He held his breath and did not say a word. He pressed his right hand tightly on the hilt of the sword.
“The aura just now seems to have come from around here …”
Not long after, two figures landed in the valley. Seeing the two people descending from the sky with two rays of light, Leng Baihu couldn’t help but be shocked. This wasn’t qinggong. Could it be that they were rumored to be cultivators?
This shock was not trivial. Even his hand, which was pressing on the hilt of the sword, trembled slightly.
Not far away, on the left was a man dressed in Qingyi. He held a folding fan made of white jade in his hand. He was extremely handsome. More importantly, the extraordinary aura of cultivation on his body was absolutely extraordinary.
Beside him was an old man dressed in Zi Yi. This old man’s gaze was deep, as if there were no stars in the night, making it difficult for others to see through him.
At this moment, the two of them slowly walked towards the bush where Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu were hiding. Seeing the two of them getting closer and closer, Leng Baihu’s face gradually became covered in cold sweat.
Cold sweat kept falling from his face. He grew up in White Fox Villa and was born with a keen sense of “aura”. These past few years, he had been traveling everywhere. He could not sense any mistakes in killing intent. At this moment, he could feel that killing intent was emitting from the two of them!
Leng Baihu held his breath and his face gradually turned slightly pale. In his perception, shouldn’t those cultivators be extraordinary experts from the outside world? However, why did these two people possess such heavy killing intent …
This time, it seemed to have overturned his previous understanding of “cultivators.”
Beside him, Xiao Chen also held his breath. Four more Blood Transformation Needles had appeared in his hand. Leng Baihu could feel the killing intent of these two people, but how could he not feel it?
However, now that he had lost his previous cultivation, it was easy for either of them to kill him and Leng Baihu.
He hadn’t felt this kind of pressure for a long time. Ever since he became the master of Lustless Heaven, no one had been able to create such a pressure on him, even Acheron Valley Heavenless Palace, who had appeared in Zi Weisi …
But now, these two people gave him such a sense of pressure.
The two people outside were getting closer and closer. Xiao Chen tightly gripped the Blood Transformation Needle in his hand, and cold sweat gradually condensed on his back.
Even though his hair needle skill was already outstanding, he could not guarantee that the Blood Transformation Needle would be able to hit the two of them in one strike. If it failed to hit the other, then the other party would be able to shatter the hearts of him and Leng Baihu with just a single palm strike. Even if it hit, it might not be able to injure the other party.
As the two of them approached, Leng Baihu became more and more nervous. Even his hand on the hilt of the sword couldn’t help but tremble under the pressure of this aura of cultivation.
Xiao Chen pressed down on his hand and shook his head. No matter how fast his swordsmanship was, it was fine to deal with a mortal martial artist like the Golden Lion Berserk Saber. However, in the eyes of the two cultivators in front of him, it was like a child’s play.
“Da … Da … Da … Da …”
The suffocating sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. The two of them had already entered the bushes. The man from Qingyi looked down and saw that there were a few new leaves on the ground. At this moment, a stream of true energy suddenly condensed at the tip of his finger and the killing intent on his body increased abruptly!
At the same time, Xiao Chen had already condensed all the internal energy in his body into his fingertips. However, not far from the rock where Leng Baihu was hiding, a weak girl’s voice suddenly sounded, “Aiya! Have you been discovered?”
The girl’s voice was soft and slender, like a drizzle in March. It made one feel a sense of weakness in their hearts. Even the killing intent on their bodies disappeared like a spring breeze and rain.
Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. From just now until now, he hadn’t noticed that there was actually someone else in this bush!
It was a young girl wearing a light red dress. Tao Zhiyaoyao was scorching with brilliance. She slowly walked out from behind the rock. Her footsteps were light and her appearance looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, as if she was younger than Leng Baihu.
“How could it be her …”
Xiao Chen was even more surprised. He had seen this girl before. It was the girl who had tracked the Eye of the Netherspring to an abyss in Acheron Valley and met Xiao Meng’er for the first time. She was standing beside Xiao Meng’er at that time.
Leng Baihu was also stunned. His gaze landed on the girl motionlessly. It was as if he was dreaming. The nervousness he felt just now dissipated with the girl’s sudden appearance.
He had never seen such a charming girl before, just like … just like little Fairy who came down from the sky.
“Who are you?”
The Qingyi man slowly lowered his finger. The true energy condensed at his fingertips also disappeared without a sound. He stared at the young girl slowly walking out from behind the rock without moving. He thought to himself that this young girl was so charming, but she didn’t seem to have any cultivation. Who was she? How could he be alone in this wilderness? Impossible, there must be someone else nearby …
Thinking of this, the man from Qingyi became vigilant again. The originally scattered true energy also secretly condensed, and the murderous aura on his body once again enveloped him.
However, even with such a slight subtle change, the young girl was still able to see through the flames. She immediately noticed that there was no change on her face. She only heard her soft voice whisper, “I, my name is Xiao Ling’er. You, have you seen my sister?”
“Xiao Ling’er? Your sister?”
The Qingyi man frowned and looked at her. “Are you from Xiao Clan?” He asked.
“En …”
Xiao Ling’er kept nodding and blinking her big eyes. She looked so innocent and cute that she really liked her. Then she said, “Did you see my sister?”
“Who is your sister? What is her name?”
The man in Qingyi frowned even deeper, and his vigilance grew heavier and heavier. He thought to himself, “Why are the people in Xiao Clan here?” Xiao Ling’er said, “My sister, my sister, her name is Xiao Meng’er …”
“Xiao Meng’er …”
Hearing this name, Old man Zi Yi was suddenly shocked. Even his expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
Perhaps not many people had heard of Xiao Ling’er’s name, but not many people didn’t know of Xiao Meng’er’s name. That Qingyi man forced himself to calm down. Could it be that Xiao Meng’er had also entered this place?
Thinking of this, the Qingyi man suddenly felt a chill from falling into the abyss. It was as if a pair of ice-cold eyes were staring at him from behind, causing him to not dare to move at all.
