As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1031
Chapter 1031 Concealment
However, in reality, Xiao Meng’er’s face did not change at all. She just looked at Xiao Chen quietly.
There was no change on her face, but it didn’t mean that she didn’t have any thoughts in her heart. She now had the heart to kill Xiao Chen.
The word “Meng’er” had to start with Acheron Valley. That time, Xiao Meng’er had escaped from the forbidden area of the Underground Fiendgods. However, the Fiendgods were awake at that time. She wanted to escape from the Fiendgods’ palm. Even if Zi Yuan was pushed down by her, how difficult was it to escape successfully? If he could not escape, then he would only die.
Therefore, at that time, she didn’t hesitate to use her entire body’s Xianyuan Qi to break through the restriction of the Fiendgod Realm, but if this happened, she would surely suffer a severe backlash. She had no choice but to use Xiao Clan’s profound arts to forcefully suppress Xianyuan’s backlash, but doing so was undoubtedly drinking poison to quench her thirst.
In the end, although she had escaped, she had already suffered two backlashes. These two backlashes could almost kill her. At this time, she had encountered a group of killers. It could be said that the house was leaking overnight.
Originally, with her ability, she could slowly remove the backlash, but in the end, she had no choice but to endure the backlash and flee.
In the end, he would either abandon his ancient martial arts and seal his meridians to dissipate his internal energy. This way, he would be able to maintain his cultivation at the Profound Sect. Either, he would not give up his internal energy and go crazy. From then on, he would fail to cultivate and fall into Diabolism’s fate.
Whether it was abandoning the Ancient Martial Technique or the Dao Art, it was a fatal blow to Xiao Meng’er. Therefore, she would never abandon any of them. Therefore, she decided to take the risk and fuse her internal strength with her profound strength. If she failed, the consequences would be unpredictable. However, if she succeeded, she would benefit from her misfortune and her cultivation would definitely rise to another realm.
However, at that time, she was being pursued. Those killers would soon find her. At that time, only Xiao Chen could help her. However, the two of them were on guard against each other. She was worried that Xiao Chen would not help her, but would instead plot against her at the most critical moment. Therefore, she had no choice but to call herself “Meng’er” in front of Xiao Chen, so as to dispel Xiao Chen’s wariness towards her.
However, at that time, it was so hard for her to call herself so ambiguous in front of Xiao Chen. In the future, she would feel ashamed every time she recalled it alone.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was actually addressing her in front of so many people. No matter how deep her Dao Heart was, it was impossible for her to be as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Xiao Chen looked at her quietly. He thought to himself that she would be able to keep her expression unchanged. As expected, her cultivation was extremely high. If she was an ordinary person, how could she be so happy and angry?
And now he knew that Xiao Meng’er had discovered him long ago. Previously, he had used the Nine Firmaments Blue Falling Palm not to deal with Beigong Clan’s Quasi-Sage, but to test his own cultivation.
This action did not let anyone else see the clue. No one even thought that the purpose of her palm strike was not Beigong Clan at all.
This woman was indeed scheming.
At this moment, everyone was still shocked by the “Meng’er” and hadn’t regained their senses. Even Chen Yufeng couldn’t help but be a little shocked at that moment. To dare to “tease” Xiao Meng’er like this in public, this person … really had the guts.
At this time, Su Mei’er was also stunned. She naturally recognized Xiao Chen at a glance. However, it was not that she had seen Xiao Chen before. Instead, before entering SorrowlessValley this time, her Green Wolf Beast had bitten two of her opponent’s horses to death in the jungle.
When she recalled the situation at that time, she was very clear. At that time, she did not feel the slightest bit of cultivation aura from the other party. She only thought that he was just an ordinary martial artist in the mortal world. How could she have thought that this person was actually the Lord of Lustless Heaven?
“Sure enough, I saw his extraordinary aura back then. How could he be from this mortal world …”
The old man in ink standing beside Su Mei’er couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. The person in front of him was actually the Lord of Lustless Heaven. Even he hadn’t expected that.
The cold wind slowly blew past the valley. The atmosphere was still tense and solemn. There was no relaxation at all. Everyone remained silent. Leng Baihu walked to Xiao Chen’s side at an unknown time and stared blankly at him, “Brother Wu … Brother Wu Chen.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him, “I never told you that Liao Wuchen is not my name.”
“Then, then you …”
Leng Baihu looked at the strange look in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little confused. His face also turned slightly pale. Even now, it was as if he was still in a dream.
Those people were so afraid of Brother Wu Chen just now. From the looks in those people’s eyes, he could tell that Brother Wu Chen … No, it was no longer Brother Wu Chen. It was Venerable Lord Lustless in front of him. He was not an ordinary person.
“Then are we friends?”
“Of course.”
Suddenly, the scene of that night appeared in his mind. At this moment, Leng Baihu’s heart suddenly became empty. Looking at this stranger who had become incomparably cold, he could no longer see Brother Wu Chen from before. He could no longer see the smile on his face that night.
“You, you are what they said, that, that Lord of Lustless Heaven … in the end, is that right?”
Leng Baihu stared at him motionlessly. Even his voice seemed to have become a little hoarse. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to hear Xiao Chen say, “No, they admitted their mistake. I’m not.”
However, what he saw was that the other party nodded, “My name is Xiao Yichen.”
“Xiao, Xiao Yichen …”
Leng Baihu’s body trembled slightly. When he could no longer see the familiar look in his eyes, he suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have appeared here at all.
He looked around and found that the people around him were looking at him as if they were looking at a joke. There were so many people here, all of them cultivators. He was just a mortal, what exactly was he doing here …
“I, I …”
Suddenly, Leng Baihu did not know what to say. He raised his head and whispered, “You, if you had told me that you were the master of Lustless Heaven, those people would have been afraid of you. I… I…”
As he spoke, he looked at the cultivators in the distance. At this moment, it was as if he had lost his soul. He muttered, “Then I won’t worry about you, and I won’t follow you this far … I … Am I stupid …”
At the end of his words, his eyes seemed to be covered in sand. They were red, but with so many people watching, he could not wipe them with his hands. It was as if his throat was choked by something and he could no longer speak.
At this moment, he felt like an ugly duckling. This place was filled with cultivators, people with strength and status, and he, a mortal, why would he appear here?
He suddenly wanted to turn around and run. Although he didn’t know where he was going, he didn’t know how to get out, but at this moment, he only wanted to find a quiet and deserted place.
But at this moment, a divine sense entered his mind, “Follow behind me.”
“None …”
Leng Baihu raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He saw that Xiao Chen had already continued to walk forward. Without hesitation, he immediately followed Xiao Chen and looked at the side of his face. However, he could not see through what Xiao Chen was thinking at this moment.
But now, he definitely couldn’t ask. He knew in his heart that Brother Wu Chen definitely had something that he couldn’t say, and he couldn’t let these people discover. Therefore, he had to act as if nothing had happened. He definitely couldn’t let these people discover anything wrong …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Meng’er. He did not dodge or dodge, and slowly walked towards the valley. He knew the difference between Xiao Meng’er and Xiao Ling’er. Xiao Ling’er was simple by nature and had always believed that she no longer had any cultivation. There was no doubt about it.
However, Xiao Meng’er was different. Especially when Xiao Ling’er told her that she no longer had any cultivation, she would not believe it easily. She would even think that she had deliberately lied to Xiao Ling’er to say these words to her.
It was precisely because of her suspicious nature that she now had the chance to suppress the people here.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s face was extremely calm. He must not reveal any problems. Otherwise, once it was exposed, letting these people know that his cultivation had been sealed would be dangerous. Beigong Clan would definitely be the first to eliminate him.
At this moment, every time he took a step forward, the surrounding xiuzhe felt suffocated.
But now, it was clear that there was no way out.
