As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1080
Chapter 1080 Worried Clouds Covered the Sky
The atmosphere at the scene did not ease because of that person’s words. Everyone was still extremely nervous. Celestial Pogoda, Four Daoists, Murong Xi, Feng Ren Sect, and the others were all injured. There were also cultivators from so many other factions who were also injured to varying degrees.
Although the two mysterious battle-robed men in front of them seemed to be dealing with True Monarch Xuanxiao just now, their identities weren’t clear, so they shouldn’t be careless.
“Who are you?” At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were still as cold as frost, and the sword in his hand was still emitting a cold light.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang walked up from behind, but looking at her pale face, it was clear that the backlash just now was extremely severe, and she was only trying to hold on.
The two people in battle robes on the other side and the person on the left said, “Young lady, you seem to be … seriously injured.”
Hearing the voice, it was an old man. Hua Weiyang looked at the two and said, “Thank you, senior, for your concern, but I don’t know how to address you …”
The implication was naturally that the two of them would take off their battle robes to show their identities. The two exchanged glances before slowly taking off their battle robes.
However, the one on the left was an old man with gorgeous hair like frost, while the one on the right also had a head of gorgeous hair. However, he looked like a young man. He had probably already cultivated into an Immortal Body.
Both of them already had Quasi-Sage cultivation, so their identities must be extraordinary. At this time, Celestial Pogoda Four Daoists finally recognized them. He didn’t expect that they were True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan from True Monarch Four Seas.
At this moment, the four of them were stunned. “True Monarch Zi Yu, True Monarch Wei Lan” The old man with Chinese hair was True Monarch Zi Yu, while the white-haired man was True Monarch Wei Lan.
“Sigh …”
True Monarch Zi Yu shook his head and sighed. He did not look like the rumors had it. He was a divine immortal, extraordinary, and did not eat human fireworks. On the contrary, he looked rather ancient now. He only heard him say, “The word ‘True Monarch’ really does not deserve it …”
There was an indescribable sense of shame in his voice. True Monarch Wei Lan was standing beside him. Perhaps it was because he looked young, so he wasn’t as old as him. However, there was also a sense of exhaustion in his eyes.
The two of them understood in their hearts, how could they not bear the slightest responsibility for today’s calamity?
Back then, if not for the fact that the three of them looked down on True Monarch Xuanxiao, and that the latter gradually accumulated resentment in their hearts, and was later used by the Blood Demon, how could this have happened?
In the world of karma, there must be consequences for all causes, and the ones who contributed to today’s results were actually the three of them back then …
Now that True Monarch Bai Hong was dead and had become True Monarch Xuanxiao’s soul puppet, True Monarch Bai Hong’s karma was over. However, there were still the two of them left, and True Monarch Xuanxiao would not let them go.
True Monarch Wei Lan said, “Now is not the time to speak. Everyone has been injured. It is advisable to treat your injuries as soon as possible …”
Looking around, many people were injured by True Monarch Xuanxiao just now. Murong Xi, Qin Tianzong, and the others were undoubtedly the most seriously injured. However, their cultivation levels were high, and they were still able to survive this fashion by relying on their cultivation levels. However, most of the others were unable to stand up anymore.
“Quick … help the elders to Celestial Pogoda!”
At this time, the disciples of the various powers rushed over and helped their injured master to Celestial Pogoda.
On this side, Hua Weiyang finally couldn’t hold on any longer. He let out a muffled snort, his face paled, and he fell onto Xiao Chen’s body.
“Wei Yang … Shen Jing, Shen Jing!”
Xiao Chen hugged her and looked for Shen Jing everywhere. At this moment, the crowd was in chaos. Shen Jing flew over from afar and reached out to hold Hua Weiyang’s wrist. She felt her pulse for a moment. Ning Mei said, “Send her back first.”
…
There was no light at night. Too many people were injured during the day. Now, they were all in Celestial Pogoda. The cultivators in Tianfeng City, who were skilled in healing techniques, rushed over to help.
At this time, in a courtyard, the lights were brightly lit, and the room was quiet. Hua Weiyang was also quietly lying on the bed, his eyes lightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully.
“She’s fine now …”
Shen Jing slowly covered Hua Weiyang with a blanket and turned around. She looked at Xiao Chen and said, “You’re hurt quite badly today.”
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Chen looked at Hua Weiyang, who was quietly lying on the bed, his eyebrows slightly knitted. Although at this moment, there was still a burst of pain in his chest, and it was difficult for him to even lift his cultivation.
However, she still thought that during the day, the overwhelming power on Wei Yang’s body, as well as the purple-gold gourd she took out … All of this was unusual, but she had never told herself who exactly she was …
“Go back and rest. I’ll decoct a medicine for you and deliver it to you in the morning.” Shen Jing looked at him and said softly, but she did not mention True Monarch Xuanxiao at this moment.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Hua Weiyang again. Then he got up and went outside. When he got outside, he happened to see Ling Luan coming.
“It’s … Liao Wuchen.”
Ling Luan raised her head and looked into the room. Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “Your grandmother … how is her injury?”
“Ancestor, grandmother …”
Ling Luan slowly lowered her head and whispered, “She, the Tianlan Sword Sovereign, and the Feng Clan elder are all seriously injured. Now, they are in the secret room to treat their injuries …”
The further she went, the softer her voice became. Finally, she raised her head and looked inside the room on tiptoe, asking, “Where is Sister Wei Yang? How is she? I came to see her …”
“She’s fine.” Xiao Chen looked at her and said softly.
“Then, what about you …”
“I’m fine too.”
“Oh, oh …”
Ling Luan slowly lowered her head again. She said that she was here to look at Wei Yang, but in fact, what worried her even more was Xiao Chen.
She was the only one here who knew about the backlash of Xiao Chen’s death aura. She had never told anyone about it. During the day, she vaguely felt that strand of death aura again.
“Ling Luan.”
“Ah, ah … what’s wrong?”
Hearing him suddenly call out his name, Ling Luan raised her head. At this moment, it was unknown if it was an illusion or something. A gentle breeze blew between the two of them. She saw that his hair was as white as frost. It was like a thousand years, two thousand years, and ten thousand years of wind and frost.
Xiao Chen looked at her quietly. “Are you scared today?”
“I…”
Hearing him ask him this, Ling Luan slowly lowered her head and whispered, “I, I’m a little scared … no, but …”
When she said this, she raised her head again and said with a serious expression, “When I see those junior brothers and sisters behind me, I am not afraid anymore, because I want to protect them.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded and gently pressed on her shoulder, “You’ve grown up.”
“I…”
Ling Luan lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head to look at him again. “What about Liao Wuchen? Apart from Sister Wei Yang, is there anyone else Liao Wuchen wants to protect the most …”
The person you want to protect the most …
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at the faintly visible hook moon in the sky with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, the voice of a young man sounded in his mind.
“In the past, Master was always alone. Now that I’m here, I won’t let Master be alone anymore …”
“When I grow up in the future and learn my skills, I want to protect Master. No one can bully Master, Niang, and Junior Sister Nichang …”
“Chen’er, you must remember that we cultivators should be led by all living beings in the world …”
“I don’t care. In any case, I cultivate for the sake of protecting Master in the future …”
…
“Liao Wuchen, Liao Wuchen … what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing … nothing.” Xiao Chen woke up from his memories and happened to see Zi Yuan walking over from outside.
“Your Excellency.”
Zi Yuan walked up, but it was not convenient for her to say something in front of Ling Luan. Ling Luan naturally understood, so she hurriedly shook her hand, “Then … I won’t disturb Sister Wei Yang’s rest anymore, I’m leaving!” After saying that, he flew off into the distance like he was flying.
Zi Yuan walked forward and saw that Xiao Chen’s expression was somewhat bad. He frowned and asked, “How is Excellency’s injury?”
“I… Cough cough!”
Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, he covered his chest and coughed. His face also turned slightly pale. Zi Yuan was shocked when she saw this, “Zun …”
“Shh …”
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked into the back room. Afraid that Shen Jing would be distracted by him, he whispered, “Let’s go out first.”
The two of them went outside and arrived at a quiet place before Xiao Chen asked, “How is it? Did the four of them find out?”
“Mm …”
Zi Yuan nodded and whispered, “Senior Ku Lingzi is locked up in the depths of the secret hall of Xuanxiao Palace. There are four high priests of True Monarch Bai Hong and Xuanxiao Palace guarding outside …”
After hearing that, Xiao Chen frowned again. This was only what the four of them had inquired about. It was definitely not just these people in Night Shade. It was almost impossible for them to sneak in and save them.
After a while, he asked again, “Is it still impossible for the jade slip to be sent back from Xianyuan Five Realms?”
Obviously, this time, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s strength far exceeded his expectations. Not only was there a True Monarch Xuanxiao, there was also a Gui Yunshan.
Zi Yuan frowned slightly and nodded.
“Forget it … In a few days, we’ll talk about it when their injuries recover.”
Xiao Chen slowly loosened his brows. If he couldn’t find another way to deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao and successfully rescue Ku Lingzi, it would be almost impossible.
…
Seven days later, Hua Weiyang finally woke up. In the past few days, the cultivators in the entire East City were also in a state of utter panic. The reason for that was because of the words that True Monarch Xuanxiao said when he left that day: “On the night of the Blood Moon, the city will definitely flow with blood. No one will be able to escape …”
As for True Monarch Xuanxiao’s attack on Celestial Pogoda, it was naturally very popular in Immortal North Ancient Realm. Many people were extremely shocked. How could they believe that the extraordinary True Monarch Xuanxiao of the past had gradually fallen into Diabolism over the years?
“How’s the situation over there, Daoist Priests?”
Inside the room, Hua Weiyang fell asleep for seven days and finally woke up. She vaguely remembered that many people had been injured that day, and some had died unfortunately.
“Daoist Priests and Qin Tianzong are all healing. Fortunately, they are fine. Drink the medicine first. I will deal with the rest …”
Xiao Chen sat beside the bed and slowly delivered the medicine to her as he spoke.
Hua Weiyang still frowned slightly and said, “True Monarch Xuanxiao was also seriously injured that day, but he was able to recover from devouring his blood soul. If he completely fused with the Blood Demon, then I’m afraid …”
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen motionlessly. She slowly said, “The entire Heavenly Peak City … will be bleeding like a river. Idiot, what are we going to do this time …”
Xiao Chen could not help but frown when he saw her worried expression. In the past, she always had all sorts of methods. It would not be like this.
He gently put down the medicine bowl in his hand. Just as he was about to say something, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside. It was Zi Yuan.
Xiao Chen immediately stood up and looked outside. Seeing Zi Yuan’s hurried appearance, he asked, “Zi Yuan, is something wrong?”
