As the Universe Turns - Chapter 104
Chapter 104 Return
“Chen’er …”
Ling Yin was completely stunned. The sect leaders were also stunned. The power just now … was his own destruction of the Nascent Soul! Self-severed meridians! Self-cripple one’s cultivation! He … he!
“What disciple learned in the past has … been returned to Master today.”
The wind blew coldly. At this moment, no one spoke. Xiao Yichen bent down and gently picked up Hua Weiyang. Step by step, he slowly walked towards the Immortal Burial Cliff. “Wei Yang … I said I would take you away. We … will leave now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged Hua Weiyang and jumped down the bottomless cliff. There was no longer any lingering nostalgia for this place.
“Chen’er! No!”
Ling Yin finally woke up and rushed over like lightning. However, he was still a step slower. The power of heaven and earth beneath the Immortal Burial Cliff had instantly swept Xiao Yichen and his companion down and disappeared without a trace.
“Chen’er!”
Ling Yin’s eyes were about to crack. Without even thinking about it, he instantly condensed a layer of protective true essence and chased after the cliff.
“Ling Yin!”
Adept Qingxuan’s expression changed. He teleported over, but he couldn’t stop Ling Yin from jumping down. Ling Yin was her disciple, but Ling Yin was also his disciple. How could he not be Ling Yin’s disciple? However, at this moment, he could only watch as her disciple disappeared from the Immortal Burial Cliff.
“Senior Brother …”
In the distance, Ni Shang’s entire body seemed to have lost its soul, and Poria fainted the moment Yi Chen cut off all the meridians in her body.
Jiang Nanliu stared blankly at the place where Yichen had jumped down. He knew why Yichen had cut off all his meridians in order not to implicate his master.
The wind blew coldly. At this moment, not a single person spoke on the enormous Lian Feng Stage.
Guan Qishi looked at the bottomless cliff and was finally shocked. He sneered and said, “This person betrayed the sect and fell into Diabolism. Today, he died under the Immortal Burial Cliff. He died unwrongly.”
“You … shut up!”
At this moment, Daoist Qingxuan’s face seemed to be enveloped in layers of dark clouds, and his expression was somewhat terrifying.
Guan Qishi said, “What? Daoist Qingxuan, as the sect leader of Xuanqing Sect, there is now a spy from the Devil Sect. If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Sect, how long would this person be hiding in my Righteous path? Hmph! Daoist Qingxuan, you have nothing to do with Ling Yin!”
“Yichen … is not a spy of the Devil Religion …”
Just at this moment, a choking voice suddenly sounded. The meaning between his eyebrows slowly came out. Tears were about to drip down his face as he choked, “Twenty years ago, the villagers of the ancient village died overnight. That time, when I went to investigate with Junior Brother Jiangnan and Junior Sister Ling Yin, we found an infant who survived …”
“And then!”
Daoist Qingxuan’s expression changed slightly. At this moment, he seemed to finally understand what was going on.
“The baby is only a month old, and its body has been contaminated by turbid air, so it is powerless to return to the heavens. But at that time … Junior Sister used the Immortal Essence that she had cultivated for hundreds of years to save the baby’s life …” Tears flowed out of her eyes as she spoke.
“So it’s like this …”
At this moment, Daoist Qingxuan felt a little dizzy and his hands trembled slightly. The rest of them seemed to understand something as well.
“Later, Junior Sister sent the baby to Ning Village and had a woman raise him. She named him … Yichen.”
“It’s like this …”
Many people began to discuss. No wonder Ling Yin had never accepted a disciple for three hundred years, but she suddenly accepted a disciple. No wonder she was so protective of this disciple!
At this point, his eyebrows were filled with tears as he turned to look at Daoist Qingxuan and choked, “Master, you always said that our disciples in Xuanqing Sect are inferior to each other … But just now, right in front of everyone, Yi Chen … he jumped down from there like that …”
At the end of his sentence, tears streaked down Mei Jianyi’s face as he staggered to the place where Yi Chen had jumped off. He stared at the bottomless cliff and choked, “You can cut off your meridians, you can die. But have you thought about it for your master? The most painful thing is her …”
Daoist Qingxuan’s expression became even more complicated. He looked at Guan Qishi with a sidelong gaze and his voice trembled with anger, “Did you hear that …”
Guan Qishi snorted coldly, “Even if he wasn’t a spy from the Devil Religion, he betrayed his sect and entered Diabolism. The evidence is conclusive. Didn’t Adept see him just now?”
“Entering Diabolism, hehe …”
Daoist Qingxuan laughed furiously. His expression became even gloomier. He turned around and looked at him and said, “An enchanted person. He was able to easily kill you just now, but he was merciful! An enchanted person, he was able to easily kill all of you just now, but he didn’t injure anyone’s life today!”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nearby were stunned. It seemed that Xiao Yichen really didn’t kill a single person just now. In the end, he could kill everyone who surrounded him, but he … he chose to cut off his meridians and didn’t kill a single person.
Everyone lowered their heads.
Guan Qishi frowned and said impatiently, “So what?”
Daoist Qingxuan smiled coldly and said gloomily, “Have you ever seen someone who has entered the Devil Realm? He will cut off his meridians, destroy his Nascent Soul, cripple his cultivation, and prove his innocence by dying!”
At this moment, everyone fell into silence. Not a single person spoke. All of them lowered their heads silently.
“It’s you” Daoist Qingxuan pointed at everyone present. “It’s you who are forcing him to the brink of death today!”
The Sect Leaders lowered their heads, not a single one of them speaking. Daoist Qingxuan’s eyes were cold as he raised his hand, “Where is the Heavenly Gate Token?”
Excellency walked up and handed the golden Heavenly Gate Token to him. Daoist Qingxuan looked at the three words on it and smiled coldly. Suddenly, he used his palm to turn the entire Heavenly Gate Token into powder.
“You!” Guan Qishi’s expression changed as he pointed at him, “Qingxuan! How dare you!”
“Huh?”
Adept Qingxuan tilted his head and shot two cold gazes at him. Guan Qishi’s entire body instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice abyss. Under these two gazes, his body actually didn’t dare to move a single bit.
At this moment, everyone could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Daoist Qingxuan. In the entire world, only Sect Leader Xuan Qing would dare to destroy the Heavenly Sect Token in public.
Yi Zhenyi’s expression changed slightly as he thought to himself, Senior Brother Sect Leader has been in seclusion for three years. Could it be that his current cultivation has actually …
“Humph!”
Daoist Qingxuan coldly snorted and turned his gaze away. Only now did Guan Qishi feel as if he had been granted an amnesty. In just a short moment, it was as if he had made a trip to hell. At this moment, his entire body was dripping with cold sweat, and he no longer dared to make a sound.
Daoist Qingxuan said coldly, “As long as he is a disciple of my Xuan Qing, there will be no outsiders to interfere in this matter. In the future, there will be no need for the Heavenly Gate to interfere! If the Heavenly Gate insists on taking care of this matter, then from today onwards, there will be no Xuan Qing in the Heavenly Gate!”
These words were spoken forcefully. No one spoke in Lian Feng Tower. Everyone present in the Heavenly Sect was intimidated to the point that they didn’t dare to speak. This was the might of Sect Leader Xuan Qing. Who would dare not accept it? In this world, there was no second Daoist Qingxuan! Just protecting Xiao Yichen was not something that some sect masters could compare to.
Just as everyone was silent, an old sigh suddenly sounded from the distant cliff, “It is difficult to ask, it is difficult to ascend to the blue sky …”
The voice sounded ethereal. Everyone present was stunned. They stared at the distant cliff. At some unknown time, an old man who had swept the ground appeared. “He walked frankly. He didn’t take anything. He didn’t owe the Xuan Qing Sect anything. He didn’t owe the world anything. Only this life was given by his master. None of you have the qualifications to take it away.”
After sweeping through the leaves, they gradually covered the ground.
At this moment, everyone lowered their heads. Such a person with flesh and blood and backbone would rather cut off his own meridians and die to prove his innocence than drag down his master. How could those people who had always entered the Devil Dao and felt that the entire world owed him be comparable? How could he be ungrateful …
However, fate was changeable, and where would he go from there?
