As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1015
Chapter 1015 Odd Array
“Mm-hmm!”
Xiao Ling’er nodded her head continuously with a sweet smile on her face. She placed her two small hands behind her skirt and leaned forward slightly. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the two people in front of her. She asked, “Did you … see my sister?”
Such a natural and adorable appearance, but at this moment, when the Qingyi man and Old man Zi Yi thought of her sister being Xiao Meng’er, they felt a cold sensation of falling into a deep pond.
When Xiao Ling’er saw that the two of them were silent, she looked around and whispered to herself, “It’s all my fault for being playful and getting separated from my sister, but she should still be nearby …”
Old man Zi Yi’s gaze was deep as he sent a secret message to the Qingyi man beside him, “If Xiao Meng’er is here, it’s very likely that the people from the Immortal Joan Sect are also nearby. It’s not appropriate to cause trouble this time. Childe, let’s go.”
The man from Qingyi gazed at Xiao Ling’er and said, “Your sister, she should be nearby. We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave first. Be careful, there might be some ferocious beasts in the surroundings …”
Xiao Ling’er watched as the two of them disappeared into the distance. After a while, Xiao Ling’er heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and whispered into the bushes, “Big brother, big brother, come out, they’re gone …”
Hearing that soft voice, Leng Baihu regained his senses. Was she … calling herself and Brother Wu Chen?
“Big brother … are you still inside?”
Seeing that there was no echo, Xiao Ling’er opened her big eyes and looked into the bushes. She carefully pushed away the branch in front of her. Just as she was about to enter, Xiao Chen walked out from behind the rock and looked at her. “Why are you here?”
“I, I …”
Xiao Ling’er lowered her head. Apparently, what she said just now was that she was separated from Xiao Meng’er because of her playfulness. They were both lying to each other. As for what exactly happened, I’m afraid it’s hard to tell for a moment.
At this time, Leng Baihu also walked out from behind the rock and stared at Xiao Ling’er motionlessly. However, when Xiao Ling’er looked at him, he quickly turned his gaze away, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.
“Eh? And who is this little brother …”
Xiao Ling’er frowned slightly. She looked at the nervous Leng Baihu and then looked at Xiao Chen. She naturally remembered Xiao Chen. She had seen him in Acheron Valley that time. It was not unfamiliar, but she had no chance to talk.
“Ah, I, my name is Leng Baihu … I, my family is in White Fox Villa … I …”
For a moment, Leng Baihu’s tongue seemed to be knotted. In the end, he looked at Xiao Chen and whispered in surprise, “Brother Wu Chen, is this your sister? She, she’s so obedient …”
“Huh?”
Xiao Ling’er tilted her head slightly and looked at the two with puzzled eyes. Xiao Chen did not say anything and walked outside. She asked, “Xiao Meng’er, did she come to this mountain too?”
“Sister, she …”
Xiao Ling’er frowned slightly. After a while, she raised her head and said, “Not long after we entered, we met a very powerful person. Big sister has started to fight with him. Now … I don’t know where she is. There is a formation around here that interferes with Spiritual Energy. I can’t sense her whereabouts, and the jade note has lost its effect …”
Hearing her speak slowly, Xiao Chen thought to himself, “Who did they meet before?”
Even an ordinary Quasi-Sage was not her match for Xiao Meng’er’s ability, so who could be on par with her? Moreover, the most important point was that the person who dared to fight her was probably from a very large background, so he wouldn’t be afraid of the Xiao Clan and the Immortal Qiong Sect, right?
“Eh, by the way, why don’t you have any cultivation …”
Xiao Ling’er looked at Xiao Chen without blinking. His face was even stranger. The last time he was in Acheron Valley, he was able to draw with his sister. Not long after, there was no trace of Genuine energy flowing around him …
Even though Xiao Ling’er did not have much cultivation, she still possessed a “hope” ability that many people were unable to compare to.
This Qi Seeking Skill not only allowed her to see through a person’s cultivation at a glance, but also allowed her to observe the auspiciousness of a place, as well as the location of some array formation eyes.
None of this escaped her eyes, not even the slightest change in the body of the Qingyi man and Old man Zi Yi from before was able to escape her eyes.
Just as Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu entered the valley, she discovered that Xiao Chen no longer had any cultivation. That was why she was afraid of the Qingyi man and Old man Zi Yi and did not dare to show herself.
At this moment, Leng Baihu was listening at the side. What formation interfered with Spiritual Energy? When he encountered a powerful person, the jade slip lost its effect and lost its cultivation …
Slowly, a look of disbelief appeared on Leng Baihu’s face. It was only now that he thought of something. Brother Wu Chen always said that he didn’t know martial arts, but that day in the valley, he was able to see through the secrets of the Golden Lion Berserk Saber and the breathing technique he taught him …
“Wu … Brother Wu Chen, who are you?”
At this moment, he would no longer foolishly think that this person in front of him was really the same as him. He was just an ordinary person in the mortal world who only knew some martial arts.
“Don’t you know who he is? Also … his name isn’t Wu Chen. Wu Chen is my sister’s third senior brother, Immortal Monarch Donghua’s third disciple, and my sister is Immortal Monarch Donghua’s fourth disciple.”
Xiao Ling’er stood beside the two of them and said innocently. Even she now knew Xiao Chen’s identity. She was the Lord of Lustless Heaven, whom many people were afraid of.
But now, why didn’t he have any cultivation? If anyone found out about this, wouldn’t many people take this opportunity to kill him …
“East … Immortal Monarch Donghua …”
Leng Baihu’s mind became even more confused. Even though he was only a mortal, he knew the name of Immortal Monarch Donghua. In their minds, Immortal Monarch Donghua was the real immortal. To them, it was like a legend, but now, he heard it with his own ears …
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. At this moment, he didn’t want to say anything else. During this period of time, he had gradually forgotten his identity as the Lord of the Lustless Heavens. He was getting closer and closer to the state of returning to simplicity and truth. However, hearing Xiao Ling’er’s words, it was as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream. He should be the Lord of the Lustless Heavens.
“Let’s go. Let’s leave this place first.”
As he spoke, Xiao Chen walked out of the bushes. Leng Baihu was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the three thousand white hairs on his back. “Wait … Then are we still friends?”
Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head slightly, “Of course.”
At this moment, in his tone, he could not hear the same smile that he had seen that night. Instead, there was an inexplicable sad farewell.
“Also … thank you.”
This time, he was telling Xiao Ling’er that if Xiao Ling’er hadn’t suddenly come out to block those two people, it would have been hard to imagine what would have happened.
“Brother Wu Chen … why did it suddenly become a little strange …”
Even Leng Baihu could feel an indescribable and unexplainable feeling of sadness on Xiao Chen’s body. This feeling was like a gust of wind, but it didn’t stop …
…
Moments later, the three of them arrived outside the bushes. There was an array Spiritual Energy fluctuation nearby, so there must be some sort of array here.
Xiao Ling’er looked around carefully and finally walked towards the southeast of the valley. “Brother, let’s go this way. We can go out this way.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her walking towards the southeast of the valley, while Xiao Chen remained where he was, looking at her silhouette without moving.
The nearby Leng Baihu wanted to follow, but it could be seen that he was standing there motionless. He also stopped in his tracks, “Brother Wu Chen … what’s wrong?”
Xiao Ling’er turned around and saw that Xiao Chen was still standing there motionlessly, shouting at him, “Big brother? You guys come with me …”
As Xiao Chen looked at her figure and listened to her call him brother, even though it was as hard as iron, somewhere in his heart, it became soft at this moment.
In his life, his six relatives were thin, and he rarely felt kinship. The only family member was Ah Niang, and the only one who would call him brother was Er Ya in the village when he was young, but now, they were all gone …
Over the years, the word “kinship” seemed to have been locked in his heart forever. No one was able to open it. He had no family, and if Niang died, then he had no family!
Therefore, it was probably also because of this that his temperament became more and more faint …
However, at this moment, this unfamiliar girl in front of him had always called him Big Brother …
“Brother … what’s wrong?”
When Xiao Ling’er saw him standing there without saying a word, she slowly walked back. She looked around and said, “Then, we can go this way instead of that …”
“No, let’s go that way.”
Xiao Chen finally spoke. Xiao Ling’er raised her head to look at him and whispered, “What happened to big brother just now …”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and walked in the direction she pointed out. Leng Baihu regained his senses and immediately followed.
…
Three days later, the three of them had already arrived at the depths of the mountain. However, they saw that the surrounding trees were dense, rocks towering, and the aura of the Spiritual Energy Formation was even heavier than outside.
“The aura here … is so strong.”
Leng Baihu could also feel that the depths of the entire mountain were sealed off by layers and layers of powerful atmospheric fields. No one could enter the innermost region.
Was it really like the legend that Old He told him that day? An ancient immortal had once set up a powerful restriction array here, but why did the aura here give him a very vicious feeling …
“Kai, Hugh, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Di, Jing, Jing …”
Xiao Ling’er frowned as she calculated with her fingers. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen, “Big brother, I know. It’s the Mystic Sect Escape Armor Formation! Someone has set up the Mystic Sect Escape Armor Formation here. We, we are, we are …”
As she spoke, she looked around. However, Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Shocking the door.”
“Jingmen …”
Leng Baihu’s face was slightly shocked. No wonder he had felt a fierce aura from the moment he entered. The door was shocked. It was the second most fierce door after the Death Gate!
