As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1099
Chapter 1099 Save A Person
While everyone was shocked, Xiao Chen had already instantly flown to Hua Weiyang’s side. Fortunately, Yu Lianhua had blocked it for her just now. Otherwise, the consequences would be really unpredictable.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang also reacted. He immediately reached out and pressed down on his right arm. Just now, his arm had been wrapped by the Blood Demon Sense. At this moment, there were no traces of the Blood Demon Sense. However, the Blood Demon Sense could never disappear or be forced out of his body. Could it be …
“Three Corpse Demon …”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly remembered that it was Three Corpse Demon. At that moment, Three Corpse Demon must have awakened in his body. Otherwise, how could he have such powerful strength to easily kill Gui Yunshan, whose cultivation was close to the Saint realm?
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Chen shook his head. At this moment, his pupils slowly regained their normal color, and his entire body seemed to have changed back.
Everyone was still stunned. Earlier, he had clearly been plotted by True Monarch Xuanxiao and invaded by the Blood Demon Sense. Why did he appear to be fine now? Moreover, there was such a powerful force just now …
“Shen Jing, heal Wei Yang first. As for Ku Lingzi … I probably know where he is being held.”
Xiao Chen glanced at Shen Jing and then at Zi Yuan, “Zi Yuan, bring someone to save Senior Withered Spirit Child. Take this Soul Jade and you will be able to find it.” With that, he waved his hand and threw the soul jade left behind by Ku Lingzi at her.
“True Monarch Zi Yu, True Monarch Wei Lan, I’ll have to trouble you two to come together. I hope you can save Xiao’s friend.”
Finally, Xiao Chen looked at True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan, and the implication was that he had stayed to deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao, and this was the first plan. True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan would save him, and he would deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao outside.
“No problem.”
True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan nodded. Without hesitation, they immediately went deeper into Zi Yuan with Xuanxiao Palace and the others. With the presence of their two Quasi-Saint experts, there was probably no one who could stop them.
“Interesting …”
Seeing that Xiao Chen had actually turned a blind eye to him, True Monarch Xuanxiao smiled coldly and concentrated, “I didn’t expect that even Blood Demon’s demonic sense wouldn’t be able to infect you …”
“Blood Demon?” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him. “I’m not afraid of Three Corpse Demon either. What’s there to fear, little Blood Demon?” He said indifferently.
When the people nearby heard this, they were all stunned. What did that mean? What Three Corpse Demon …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression was calm. Just now, he had been plotted against by True Monarch Xuanxiao and had been struck by a demonic sense of the Blood Demon. If he was an ordinary cultivator, he would definitely have been infected by the demonic sense by now.
The result of being infected by the demonic sense was often the immortal fallen demon. Unless a person with an untainted Dao Heart like the Seven Paragons of Xuan Qing was able to suppress or even eliminate the demonic sense with his supreme Dao Heart, ordinary cultivators, no matter how high their Dao cultivation was, would eventually be completely infected by the demonic sense bit by bit. In the end, they would be the fallen demon.
Earlier, Xiao Chen had been plotted by True Monarch Xuanxiao and the Blood Demon. Originally, he thought that something would happen, but he didn’t expect that just as the Blood Demon invaded his body, the Three Corpse Demon instantly woke up.
At that moment, Three Corpse Demon seemed to have a strong sense of autonomy. It was as if an uninvited guest had intruded into his domain. He had actually swallowed the Blood Demon’s demonic sense in one mouthful.
Even though at that moment, Three Corpse Demon gave Xiao Chen an extremely powerful force, allowing him to kill Gui Yunshan in an instant, and then he went into hibernation.
Being able to devour the Blood Demon Sense and even bring him such a powerful strength was not a bad thing. However, Xiao Chen knew that this was definitely not a good omen.
The more this happened, the more it meant that the Three Corpse Demon was about to fully mature. Right now, the Three Corpse Demon had grown to two inches long in his body. When it grew to three-thirds of an inch, it would be fully mature. At that time, no one knew what would happen.
At that instant, Xiao Chen suddenly felt like the Three Corpse Demon in his body was using him as a furnace cauldron. The Blood Demon Sense just now had only become nutrients. One day, when it fully matured and woke up, it would definitely devour its master.
At this moment, the wind above Xuanxiao Palace was as cold as frost, and when the people below saw Gui Yunshan’s tragic death just now, they were so frightened that they didn’t dare to act rashly.
However, True Monarch Xuanxiao didn’t seem to have any fear for Gui Yunshan because of Xiao Chen’s death. At this moment, the devil origin energy was activated, and the blood mist in the sky gathered again. In a short moment, it was as if his strength had increased by a lot.
“Then let me see how powerful you are!”
As the fierce battle resumed, True Monarch Xuanxiao instantly transformed into a bloody light and attacked Xiao Chen. Although Xiao Chen had just killed Gui Yunshan, he still didn’t dare to be careless when facing the Blood Demon Community’s True Monarch Xuanxiao. Once the 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi within his body were lucky, layers of profound light instantly covered his body to resist True Monarch Xuanxiao’s boundless might.
…
On the other side, Zi Yuan and the others arrived at the depths of the Profound Firmament Palace’s forbidden grounds. There were restrictions everywhere. Even though they possessed extraordinary abilities that were not comparable to ordinary people, they still did not dare to let down their guard at this moment.
If they were to fall into some vicious formations, not only would Ku Lingzi be unable to save them, even they would be trapped in them. People from Night Shade would normally not make such mistakes.
Behind them, True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan were also very cautious. Their cultivation levels were undoubtedly higher than Zi Yuan and the others, but after arriving at such a forbidden area, they were not as sensitive to danger as the people from Night Shade.
A moment later, they arrived at the foot of a mountain peak. There was a secret hall in the mountain. Zi Yuan took out her soul jade and could vaguely sense Ku Lingzi’s soul power. It was coming from the hall, but the restrictions inside were not small.
“Be careful.”
Zi Yuan put away the soul jade and was about to walk into the secret hall when a profound light suddenly descended from the sky and blocked the entrance of the secret hall.
“True Monarch Bai Hong?”
True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan’s expressions froze as they looked at the black-robed man. At this moment, both of them felt a sense of indescribability in their hearts. They did not expect that the three of them would meet again. Even though the two of them knew that this True Monarch Bai Hong in front of them was no longer the True Monarch Bai Hong they had known before.
“Zi Yu, Wei Lan … long time no see …”
Underneath the black robe came a gloomy voice. Even through the battle robe, True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan could feel the murderous aura coming from True Monarch Bai Hong’s body.
It seemed that he had completely become True Monarch Xuanxiao’s soul puppet. The real True Monarch Bai Hong had long since died.
Facing a puppet, the two of them naturally wouldn’t care about their old relationship. True Monarch Zi Yu narrowed his eyebrows and said, “True Monarch Wei Lan, you go in with them to save someone. I’ll deal with him.”
“Be careful.”
True Monarch Wei Lan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his body and entered the secret hall with Zi Yuan and the others. True Monarch Bai Hong wanted to stop him, but True Monarch Zi Yu’s palm wind carried a fierce killing intent as it charged towards him.
“Bang!”
In the end, the two of them clashed with each other, but both of them felt their inner energy tremble. They each took a few steps back, but this palm strike was split evenly.
…
Inside the secret hall, layers upon layers of restrictions became heavier and heavier. Zi Yuan and the others carefully broke through the restrictions inside. True Monarch Wei Lan followed along the way and was not afraid of encountering a powerful restriction.
After about an incense stick, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the secret hall. At this moment, Zi Yuan could already feel Ku Lingzi’s soul force aura even without the soul jade.
It turned out that there was an extremely powerful spiritual sense barrier here. No wonder Xiao Chen couldn’t sense Ku Lingzi’s soul force aura before. If it was outside, no one would be able to sense it.
“It’s inside …”
Zi Yuan put away the soul jade and stared at the innermost secret hall. However, at this moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from the shadows and slowly approached.
Night Shade and the others immediately held their breaths and disappeared without a trace. In this dark place, it was extremely advantageous for them.
“True Monarch Wei Lan” A figure slowly appeared in the darkness, and that person was also wearing a black robe, unable to see his appearance clearly.
“Black Tiger Priest?”
Seeing the dark figure suddenly appear, True Monarch Wei Lan’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Why are you the only one? Where are the other three … No, no, you’re not the Black Tiger Priest.”
“Haha …”
The black-robed man let out a gloomy laugh. His entire body became even more mysterious. True Monarch Wei Lan’s gaze was fixed on him. “No matter who you are, no matter if you are loyal to Xuan Xiao or if potential Xuanxiao Palace has other intentions, step aside.”
“Haha …”
The black-robed man let out a cold laugh. Suddenly, it turned into a black mist and attacked. True Monarch Wei Lan’s eyes narrowed. Sure enough, he was not from Xuanxiao Palace. He immediately condensed his Qi and shot out with a finger, “Bang!” The two of them collided with each other and retreated backwards. Their strengths were actually on par with each other.
“Who exactly are you?”
True Monarch Wei Lan’s eyes were as cold as ice. At this moment, he was completely certain that this person was not Xuanxiao Palace’s original Black Tiger Priest. Perhaps even True Monarch Xuanxiao himself did not know.
“Who is it? Is it important …”
In the blink of an eye, the black-robed figure had already attacked again. This time, in the darkness, the four of them attacked as well. Although Night Shade’s cultivation was inferior to Night Shade’s, it was equally frightening in the darkness.
The two sides fought for a moment, but in the end, no one could do anything to them. At this moment, the entire secret hall suddenly shook violently, as if the mountain outside had changed. The restriction here had been broken, and it was likely that it would collapse.
Seeing that the entire mountain was about to collapse, the black-robed man instantly went outside. A faint sentence came from the black-robed man, “I’m afraid True Monarch Wei Lan doesn’t know who he is. Today, none of you will be able to save him. Haha …”
The voice gradually disappeared, and there were still endless vibrations inside. True Monarch Wei Lan looked at the tunnel where the black figure had disappeared, wondering who exactly was locked inside?
“This place is about to collapse. Quickly go in and rescue Senior.”
As soon as Zi Yuan finished speaking, she immediately brought people inside. Before she left, she said to True Monarch Wei Lan, “True Monarch Wei Lan, please support yourself here with profound strength to prevent this place from collapsing.”
“Wait!”
True Monarch Wei Lan came back to his senses, wanting to ask her who was inside, and who was determined to take such a dangerous risk to save her. However, before he could ask, Zi Yuan and the others had already disappeared into the darkness in front of him.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a violent shock came. True Monarch Wei Lan frowned and immediately circulated his martial power to support this place with an extremely strong profound energy.
Since he had been entrusted by Xiao Chen to come here to save someone, he would naturally not leave before he was rescued.
On the innermost floor of the secret hall, Zi Yuan and the others finally entered. There was a stone platform at the head of the hall, and there was a figure imprisoned on the stone platform. It was none other than Ku Lingzi. This time, however, there would not be any fakes.
“Senior!”
Zi Yuan immediately rushed forward. At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit was imprisoned by an extremely powerful restriction. He couldn’t help but feel a little weak. He raised his head slightly and recognized Zi Yuan and the others.
“Yes … Kid sent you here.”
“Yes!”
Zi Yuan nodded his head forcefully and said emotionally, “That day in Lustless Heaven, Senior sacrificed his life to protect Excellency. How could Excellency allow Senior to fall into Xuan Xiao’s hands … It’s just that this year, Senior has suffered.”
“It’s been a year … In other words, this brat’s cultivation must have already reached the Quasi-Sage realm …”
Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit was still somewhat weak at this moment. Zi Yuan nodded and said, “Yes! Your Excellency is currently fighting Xuan Xiao outside …”
With that, she looked at the restrictions surrounding Ku Lingzi and asked, “Senior, how should I break these restrictions now?”
“Don’t worry …”
Ku Lingzi shook his head and asked, “Did you see a man in a black robe when you came in just now?”
“The black-robed man …”
Zi Yuan’s expression slightly froze as she said, “We fought with True Monarch Wei Lan outside for a while and triggered the restriction, causing the mountain to collapse. Then, he left …”
“Let’s go …”
Ku Lingzi was originally a little weak, but his expression suddenly froze. After a moment of calculation, his expression changed slightly, “Damn …”
