As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1067
Chapter 1067 Stratagem
If he could unravel True Monarch Xuanxiao’s true colors in Immortal North Ancient Realm, when all the forces joined forces, they would definitely be able to stop this person’s ambition to devour the entire Ancient Realm. However, no one was willing to believe it even if it was revealed now.
After a while, Daoist Gudeng raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen. “Still according to Little friend Xiao’s plan that night, I’ll have someone release news of the Ancient Immortal Land in a few days and lure a large number of cultivators to Heavenly Peak City. At that time … I’ll trouble little friend to make another trip to the Profound Cloud Realm.”
Xiao Chen nodded, “No problem.”
Qin Tianzong’s eyebrows narrowed as he asked Daoist Gudeng, “What did Adept mean by’ancient immortal land ‘?”
“This …”
Daoist Gudeng stroked his white beard and looked at him, “Skywave Sword Sovereign doesn’t know anything. This is the plan that Little friend Xiao came up with that night. Listen to me slowly.”
It turned out that night, Xiao Chen had come up with an impromptu plan to lure countless cultivators to Heavenly Peak City. As such, True Monarch Xuanxiao would definitely have some misgivings.
Even if he still had no scruples, he would definitely trap all the cultivators who came to Heavenly Peak City in the city at that time. At that time, it would be much easier to dismantle this person’s face and plot.
It wasn’t difficult to bring a large number of xiuzhe into the city. On that day, above the Profound Cloud Realm, Xiao Chen returned to the array core. That myriad of profound lights connected the heavens and earth. At that time, the phenomenon was astonishing, and it had long since spread out.
Now, he only needed to secretly send word that he had discovered an “ancient immortal relic” in the “Heavenly Peak Mountain Range” in the middle of Heavenly Peak City.
As long as the news didn’t show any traces, and Xiao Chen continued to go to the Mysterious Cloud Realm in the past few days, he would definitely attract a lot of people.
“So that’s the case” After listening, Qin Tianzong nodded his head repeatedly, “It’s such a good idea.”
At this moment, he felt even more admiration for this young man. Not only was he young and had such a cultivation, he was also so calm and scheming. If he relied on his unbridled strength to resist True Monarch Xuanxiao, he would surely suffer heavy losses. In the end, the gains would not be worth the losses. This was not advisable.
Late at night, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang left the secret hall. Along the way, a cold breeze blew. Xiao Chen asked, “Has the Spiritual Energy in the jade slip completely lost contact with Lustless Heaven?”
“Mm …”
Hua Weiyang frowned slightly and nodded. When they were in Lustless Heaven, the spiritual messages sent back from the four of them had been intermittent, often interrupted by Night Shade.
And today, the two places had completely lost contact. That is to say, there was nothing that could be passed over from Xianyuan Five Realms, and there was no news that could be passed back from here.
“It doesn’t matter. I blame Senior and Medicine Saint for guarding. There are so many restrictions outside. No one dares to violate Lustless Heaven.”
Xiao Chen wasn’t worried that something would happen to Lustless Heaven, only a little worried. There were only four months left before the Wushuang Society in Spirit Ruins Realm.
At that time, Xiao Meng’er, Chen Yu Feng and the others would definitely go. The Ten Saints who disappeared back then would most likely appear again. However, he was now delayed at the Immortal North Ancient Realm. I wonder if he would have time to return when that time comes.
Even if he rushed back, he still had to face a problem. At that time, the Spirit Ruins Realm would definitely be filled with experts like clouds. Even experts who had been in seclusion for a long time would appear one after another …
At this moment, his cultivation had yet to truly comprehend the mysteries of the Saint realm. He had yet to gain a first glimpse of the Saint realm. Even if he possessed the Undying Concept and the 33 Layered Li Hen Technique that no one else possessed, he would not be able to do so.
However, it was still unknown who would win in the end. Especially Xiao Meng’er, she had always been a very unstable factor. If her two senior brothers from the Immortal Qiong Sect came to help her, her chances of winning would be even more uncertain …
“Your junior sister might come to help you.”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly spoke. She had a faint smile on her face, as if she had seen through Xiao Chen’s worries.
“Qianyu Nichang …”
Xiao Chen slowly opened her eyebrows. Thinking back to the day when the Heaven-covering Formation was set up, it was fortunate that Qianyu Nichang had suddenly rushed over to help. Otherwise, it might be hard to say what the consequences would be. On that day, her strength … was indeed too strong.
Now … how powerful was she? Three flowers gathering at the top was definitely not idle.
However, when she thought of Qianyu Nichang’s identity, a layer of confusion arose in Xiao Chen’s heart. Who exactly was Qianyu Nichang, and what was her real purpose in coming to Xuanqing Sect? How could he bump into her beneath Tianshu Peak that night by such a coincidence …
About Qianyu Nichang, this woman is too mysterious. The longer we have known each other until now, the more Xiao Chen is unable to see through her. But every time he thinks of that innocent girl back then …
“Hehe, remember, my name is Nichang. I am the Nichang of the Wind-blown Immortal Dance, like the Nichang Feather Dance …”
The young girl’s clear laughter of the past was still so pure and natural every time she remembered it, but why did she change now …
Haven’t I, Haven’t I also changed …
“In your heart, you must still treat her as your junior sister, right?” Suddenly, Hua Weiyang said this without warning.
She still had a smile on her face, but she didn’t know why it looked so sad and moving.
“Many, many years later, perhaps in your heart, you still treat her as your junior sister, and she also calls you senior brother. Perhaps at that time, she had already ascended to the Immortal Dimension and was already an immortal lord who intimidated a Heavenly Dimension …”
His words clearly carried a smile, but for some unknown reason, it made the listener feel an indescribable sadness. Many, many years later, how long would that be? Thousands of years later, would the world be filled with vicissitudes …
“Wei Yang …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have heard something else from her words. He stretched out his hand and only touched the strand of hair behind her …
There was still a lingering fragrance in his hand.
“Wei Yang.”
Xiao Chen quickly chased after her and gently grabbed her hand. However, at this moment, he could only feel the coldness in her palm.
The moonlight dissolved, reflecting the figures of the two of them. Hua Weiyang still had a smile on his face and gently stroked his frosty white hair. “Many, many years later, do you still remember that girl who likes falling snow and flying in the world?”
“Why did you suddenly say those sad words?”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her face. At this moment, the moonlight slowly became gentle, as if it wanted to fuse the two of them together.
Hua Weiyang shook his head. He probably didn’t want to talk about this anymore. He changed the topic and said, “I’ve already remembered True Monarch Bai Hong’s appearance today.”
Such a sentence immediately brought Xiao Chen back to reality. Now that True Monarch Xuanxiao’s strength was growing stronger, Immortal North Ancient Realm was in danger. Ku Lingzi’s life and death were unknown, how could he still be here … He only cared about his children and ignored the safety of the world.
“This is not a place to talk. Let’s go back first.”
A moment later, the two of them returned to the courtyard and laid down a soundproof barrier. Only then did Xiao Chen say, “Yinshan Sect and Mysterious Underworld Mountain are two great Devil Sect forces. Both Ghost Lord Yinshan and Mistress Mysterious Underworld are filled with danger … You and Zi Yuan, be careful this time.”
Hua Weiyang smiled gently and said playfully, “Then, Ben Palace Master’s disguise tricked everyone back then …”
Hearing her talk about the past, Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. He reached out and rubbed her cheeks. “What are you doing? Let go of your hand. Hua Weiyang will see you later …” Zi Yuan said.
Xiao Chen said, “Let me see if someone disguised themselves as you to deceive me.”
…
It was only in the second half of the night that Zi Yuan quietly arrived. When dawn approached, she and Hua Weiyang had already disguised themselves as True Monarch Bai Hong. The two of them were going to Immortal North Ancient Realm’s “Yinshan Sect” and “Mysterious Underworld Mountain” demon sects.
Of course, this was also a plan. However, this plan should not be known by others, so as to avoid leaking the news.
In the remaining few days, according to the plan, Celestial Pogoda Four Daoists had people secretly release news that the Heavenly Peak Mountain Range had an Ancient Immortal Earth appearing. In addition, Xiao Chen had gone to the Mysterious Cloud Realm these past few days, causing the 10,000 meter phenomenon to reappear. Indeed, in the next few days, more and more cultivators had come to Heavenly Peak City.
A few days passed like this. By the tenth day, Hua Weiyang and Zi Yuan had finally returned. Presumably, the matters between the two of them had been settled.
On this day, many cultivators had already arrived in Tianfeng City. There was no need for a few Daoist Priests to secretly send out more news. The news of the Ancient Immortal Land appearing in Tianfeng Mountain Range spread like wildfire. Almost the entire Immortal North Ancient Realm knew about it, and many people were on their way.
The entire Heavenly Peak City was already very large, and the central Heavenly Peak Mountain Range was even more boundless. After going inside, it didn’t seem like it was outside.
The Spiritual Energy in the mountain range was chaotic, and it was difficult for those who entered to fly with their swords. In addition, layers of miasma enveloped the mountains, as well as those unknown creatures from ancient times …
These were all things that the cultivators in Tianfeng City feared, and it was precisely because of this that few people dared to go to the central Tianfeng Mountain Range.
However, countless cultivators had gone to the Heavenly Peak Mountain Range these past few days, and the entire Heavenly Peak City seemed to be enveloped by layers of dark clouds. It had been several days since the sky had cleared up, and at noon this day, there was even a feeling of oppression that dark clouds were crushing the city.
In Celestial Pogoda, Four Daoists’s face was as if he was facing a great enemy. The rest of the people were also on guard. At this moment, they could already feel a suffocating aura approaching from the north towards the eastern city. It was obvious that it was coming towards Celestial Pogoda.
“Is it finally here …”
On Celestial Pogoda, Xiao Chen’s gaze was cold and sharp, but his expression was very calm. He had already made preparations today. He predicted that True Monarch Xuanxiao would make a move within these few days. As expected, there was no difference.
Next, there will probably be a first battle. I wonder what will happen in this battle. The disciples in Celestial Pogoda and the people from the various forces that came a few days ago are all nervously on guard at this moment.
About half an hour later, in the northern horizon, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, followed by layers of dark clouds that gradually approached, causing the already dark sky to become even darker.
