As the Universe Turns - Chapter 113

Chapter 113 Killer
The three of them were shocked and didn’t dare to take another step. Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold as he asked, “Do you know who destroyed this place? When was it destroyed?”

Only one of the three people was more courageous and said in a trembling voice, “I… We don’t know either. It took us a few days to find it. We just wanted to see if there was anything valuable. If you, if you want it, I’ll give it to you. Don’t… don’t kill us.”

“You guys go.”

Xiao Chen knew that there was nothing he could ask. These were just three ordinary people.

“Thank … Thank you, Hero.”

The three of them immediately felt relieved and hurriedly ran outside.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and continued walking into the back hall. Everything he saw seemed to be Wei Yang’s figure. He recalled that day when she had disguised herself as the woman from Zi Yi and competed with him.

“Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog. It doesn’t seem like a spring dream for a long time. It seems like there is nowhere to be found in the clouds …”

“It seems like flowers are not flowers, and no one cherishes the pendant. But thinking about it, it is heartless and thoughtful …”

“This fan, I’ll leave it to you as a souvenir. I’ll come and retrieve it another day …”

…

Was this the place where Wei Yang used to live? Xiao Chen looked at the collapsed palaces and walked through a few broken corridors to a courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, there were a few white flowers and trees. However, those flowers and trees had already withered. Only the petals that had fallen all over the ground were blowing with the wind, not returning. They were like snowflakes that were floating all over the sky.

“Wei Yang …”

Looking at the withered flower trees, Xiao Chen felt bursts of pain like needles. In the blink of an eye, it was as if he saw the trees come back to life. It was as if he saw petals dancing all over the sky. He saw Wei Yang sitting under the tree. His smile was as white as these beautiful flowers.

But now, there was nothing left, leaving behind only this devastation. Lianhua Palace had been destroyed, and the few Wei Yang trees that she had personally transplanted had also withered.

Xiao Chen slowly removed the black battle robe from his head and slowly approached. He suddenly stretched out his hand towards the withered Wei Yang Tree. At this moment, it was as if a mysterious power that surpassed the rest of the world surged out from his palm. This was an indescribable mysterious power, a power that controlled life and death!

In a short moment, the withered flower trees were revived by his control over life and death.

“Wei Yang, wait for me. Even if I search the ends of the earth, I will still find you … If you are no longer here, then I will let each of them come down and die for you …”

“Hidden Peak Valley, Cyan Rainbow Sect, Jade Void Sect, Immortal Retention Sect, Heavenly Sect … none of them can escape.”

At this moment, his gaze was incomparably cold and frightening. It was so cold that he seemed to have no emotions at all. He slowly put on his battle robe hat and went out again.

In the next three months, he searched many places, but there was no news of Hua Wei Yang. He had returned to Kunlun Immortal Valley. He thought that Hua Wei Yang would definitely return to that Immortal Valley after he was injured, but he didn’t. Wei Yang had never returned.

The size of the Northern Domain far exceeded his expectations. He had secretly asked many people about it, but none of them knew about it.

Hope seemed to be dimming, like the stars that flickered in the cold night, and they could perish at any moment.

However, as long as there was still a sliver of hope, he would not give up. Before confirming that Hua Wei Yang was dead, he would continue searching until he found him.

The cold wind blew and rolled up the leaves on the side of the road. He walked three to five miles in the empty wilderness, but suddenly stopped.

“Everyone has followed along the way. Why don’t you … show yourself?”

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

The moment the wind blew and the grass moved, twelve figures surrounded him. These twelve people were dressed in black and their auras were hidden very deeply. They could not tell which sect they belonged to, but their cultivation was definitely not low. At least, they were not inferior to the three people from the Hidden Edge Valley.

“Xiao Yichen, your life is really big. Even if you jump off the Immortal Burial Cliff, you won’t die …” The black-clothed man leading the group of twelve sneered.

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen’s voice was calm and indifferent as he slowly turned around. At this moment, his gaze was ice-cold to the point of suffocating.

Even though the black-clothed man was already prepared, when he touched such a cold pair of eyes under the battle robe, his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. A chill gradually enveloped his entire body.

“Everyone has followed me along the way. What do you mean? But it doesn’t matter if you say it …”

Xiao Chen’s voice was still calm. As he spoke, he slowly took off his battle robe hat. After seeing his true face, the twelve people held their breaths. At this moment, it was as if even the air was about to condense. Even on a hot summer day, it made people shiver.

The twelve of them forced themselves to calm down. The black-clothed man in the lead calmed down and sneered, “Xiao Yichen, I know you’re amazing, but each of the twelve people here has long since put their lives aside. Now that your master is not here, how many chances do you have of winning?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve of them suddenly drew out a black sword. The black mist wrapped around the sword’s body, and its murderous aura was heavy. It was definitely not the Immortal Sword magic treasure of the Xuanmen Sect. Looking carefully, each sword was made up of seven small black flying swords, and the black mist was penetrating through the cracks. It was extremely strange.

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen could naturally tell that these twelve black swords were extremely powerful magic treasures, but at this moment, his gaze was still faint, turning a blind eye to these twelve people.

The black-clothed man in the lead was even more confused when he saw his calm and relaxed appearance. However, his face remained calm as he smiled coldly, “Xiao Yichen, if you are sensible, hand over the Heavenly Book. Otherwise, today will be the day of your death!”

“Zheng!”

With an icy cold sound, the killing intent on the twelve black swords became even heavier. Xiao Chen’s eyes remained indifferent, “So that’s how it is. I want the Heavenly Book, but only twelve of them are sent to die … Forget it, let’s attack.”

“You really are a toast without a penalty …”

Seeing that he didn’t have the slightest room to maneuver, the black-clothed man’s eyes became even colder. However, under his cold gaze, there was a trace of fear and dread. The twelve cold-blooded assassins had never felt such fear and dread towards anyone.

The atmosphere became exceptionally cold. Cold sweat gradually oozed out from the twelve people’s backs. Suddenly, it was unknown who was the first to use the black fiend sword to slash at Xiao Chen. The remaining eleven people also instantly reacted.

In an instant, the boundless gloomy winds blew in all directions, and the twelve black fiendish swords all slashed towards Xiao Chen with the sound of ghost crying.

Seeing that the twelve black swords were coming at him ferociously, Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled, wanting to block the twelve swords. However, in the next moment, he changed his mind. These twelve swords were definitely not ordinary swords. It was unwise to forcefully block them by relying on their strength. With a flick of his movement technique, he avoided the attacks of the twelve swords.

However, under the control of the twelve black-clothed men, the twelve swords seemed to possess intelligence. In just a short moment, the killing intent emitted from the swords had already enveloped the heavens and earth layer upon layer. Slowly speaking, if the swords struck them directly, even if the killing intent invaded their bodies, the consequences would not be trivial.
