As the Universe Turns - Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Ancient Village
In the afternoon, Shen Jing came back from outside with a stack of clothes in her hand. It was a black battle robe in order to conceal his identity.

“After you leave, remember not to reveal your identity.”

“Sister Shen Jing, thank you …”

“Go and change it.”

Shen Jing shook her head and handed the black robe to him. When Xiao Chen entered the room, he saw that there were silver taels and spirit stones in the black robe. The silver taels were convenient to walk in some ordinary places, and spirit stones could be used in places where cultivators gathered.

Unexpectedly, Sister Shen Jing had considered everything so thoroughly. He took a deep breath and suddenly remembered that she had treated him so well since childhood. Other than Ah Niang, she treated him better than anyone else …

After changing into a black robe, he went outside and stayed in Butterfly Valley for a year. At this moment, he was about to leave, but he was somewhat reluctant to leave.

When Shen Jing saw him come out, under the cover of the black robe, she could no longer see his appearance clearly. She nodded slightly and said, “There are many people secretly searching for you from both the Righteous and Demonic Dao outside. You must be careful when you act outside, understand? Especially …”

At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, “Especially the person who slaughtered the Ancient Village back then. This person may be secretly looking for you, as well as … the person who laid out the plan.”

Xiao Chen nodded, “I know. Sister Shen Jing, don’t worry about me anymore.”

“Mm …”

Shen Jing nodded slightly and walked over again. Her hands lit up and she took out a needle bag. Inside, a cold light burst forth. There were actually many silver needles.

“This is the Ninety-Nine Blood Transformation Needle. Take it with you just in case.”

“Ninety-nine Blood Transformation Needles?”

Xiao Chen stared at the silver needles. With his current divine sense, he could naturally sense that this needle was not an ordinary hidden weapon, but an extremely powerful magic treasure.

Shen Jing nodded and said, “En, if this needle were to be sent out, it would definitely cause a blood seal to appear on your throat. It’s very powerful. You should use it carefully. This was given to me by Master. Originally, there were 9,981 of them. However, when Master obtained it earlier, there was already one missing. I wonder who used that one.”

“This …”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and pushed the needle bag back with both hands. He shook his head and said, “This is the last thing your master left for you … I, I can’t accept it.”

“I told you to take it. You don’t know how dangerous it is outside right now.” Shen Jing looked at him and said softly.

“But …”

“Take it.”

Shen Jing handed the needle bag to him and said, “If you find Miss Wei Yang, remember … remember to let me know when you come back.”

“Mm …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen wanted to say something, but in the end, he only looked at her and lightly nodded, “Then … I’m leaving. Sister Shen Jing, take care. I’ll come back to see you.”

“Mm, you too.”

Shen Jing smiled softly and said, “Now that you’re out there, you can’t do what you used to do. Do you understand? As for me, you can rest assured that no one will be able to find me.”

“Mm …”

Finally, he left the Butterfly Valley. After leaving the valley, Xiao Chen didn’t take the main road and walked along a few small paths. After traveling for several dozen kilometers, he suddenly remembered that the Ninety-Nine Blood Transformation Needles Sister Shen Jing had given him were extremely powerful. Something was wrong. This was left to her by her master. She must have used this magic treasure to guard against that great enemy, but she actually gave it to him. Wasn’t she …

“Xiao Yichen, ah, Xiao Yichen, why are you so confused?”

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around to go back. However, he suddenly remembered that Sister Shen Jing had given this item to him. If he returned it to her, she would probably not accept it anyway, right? It would make her angry.

“Sigh … Forget it.”

He didn’t want to make Shen Jing angry. He thought to himself that Butterfly Valley was extremely hidden and that no one should be able to find her. With this thought, he felt relieved. But where was he going next? The heavens and earth were vast, and where was Wei Yang at this moment?

He thought about it and decided to go back to the ancient village first …

Half a month later, he finally returned to the Central Plains of Xianyuan. One mountain, two mountains, and the distant mountains were high in smoke and cold in water. But now, things were completely different.

With a light sigh, he finally found the abandoned ancient village according to Shen Jing’s location.

A cold breeze blew. Even though more than twenty years had passed, and even though the vines had already covered the ruins of the ruins, the horrible situation of that year still seemed to be in sight.

He stepped on the thorns on the ground and looked at the rubble that was covered in moss. This place … was this the place where he was born more than twenty years ago? However, Sister Shen Jing also said that her parents might not be from the ancient village. Was that her, implicating the entire villagers of the ancient village …

The wind blew coldly, blowing up the battle robe hat on his face. Everything at this moment seemed to be the same tragedy of the past. Blood stains all over the ground, corpses all over the ground, miserable screams, despair, pain, groans … as well as those hands that were stained with blood.

He shook his head forcefully, and the illusions seemed to disappear in an instant.

Master, where did you find yourself back then …

As he walked, he searched. Back then, he was still an infant. He was crushed under a corner of the wall and corroded by the turbid air. Master, how did Master find him …

He arrived at a corner of a collapsed wall, and saw that it was already covered with moss. Was this the place? Was this where Master found her and saved her?

At this moment, all he had was an indescribable pain in his heart. Master, Master, when he was unconscious, he had repeated it over and over again, but now, he could never go back.

And who exactly was he? Why couldn’t that deadly turbid energy kill him back then …

At this moment, rustling footsteps suddenly sounded from afar. Although it was only a slight movement of wind and grass, his divine sense was no longer comparable to before. With a flash of his body, he immediately hid behind a collapsed house.

After waiting for a while, three silhouettes came sneakily. Although the three of them had changed their clothes and deliberately concealed their identities, Xiao Chen’s divine sense was so sharp that he could tell that the three of them belonged to Cangfeng Valley even after observing their auras for a moment.

What are the people of Cangfeng Valley doing here?

He waited for the three of them to approach, only to hear the person on the left whisper, “Is it here?”

“Look around.”

Seeing the three of them looking for something, Xiao Chen was even more puzzled. Why did the people from Cangfeng Valley come here? It wasn’t Liu Xuanyin who had sent people here to search for the Book of Heaven.

The three of them looked around carefully. The person on the left said, “Twenty years ago, Ling Yin found that thief here. How could there be no trace of him?”

“Could it be that Ling Yin had already come to destroy all traces?”

“If you look carefully, as long as you find traces of the Devil Religion, that thief is the devil Religion’s bastard. Hehe, he saved a devil Religion’s bastard. At that time, Ling Yin will never be able to escape!”

Behind the broken house, Xiao Chen could clearly hear the conversation between the three of them. His eyes were getting colder and colder. Back then, he had cut off all his meridians and crippled his cultivation in order to get rid of his master. Now, these people were still unwilling to let go of him, still unwilling to let go of his master, and even thinking of slandering his master’s innocence … Bullying others too much!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Three grains of stone flew over with lightning speed, instantly sealing the acupoints on their bodies. The three of them were suddenly shocked, and before they could react, a black-robed figure had already stood in front of them with his back facing them.

“You … you!”

The three of them had terrified expressions on their faces. At this moment, their entire bodies were sealed, and they were unable to even transmit their divine sense. Xiao Chen slowly turned around. At this moment, his gaze was like that bottomless dark abyss, and there was only a bone-chilling chill in it.

“You … you …”

The three of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They were unable to see the face beneath the black robe clearly. They could only see that pair of eyes, which seemed to be the coldest, most terrifying, and most heartless pair of eyes in the world.
