As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1145
Chapter 1145 Strange Spiritual Energy
Xiao Chen moved closer to Qianyu Nichang. Although he felt that it was a little rude, he still stared at the red mark under her left shoulder, which was close to her chest.
What exactly was this light red mark that looked like a sword mark?
The space between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows gradually furrowed. If it was just an ordinary mark, it would naturally not attract his attention. However, for a moment, he was unable to tell what the difference was in this mark.
At this moment, in his mind, he recalled the girl who had just arrived in Xuanqing Sect. She was like the brightest star in the night sky. Even the Heavenly Gate had acknowledged that she was the most talented person in Xianyuan Five Realms in the past hundred years.
Just like Xiao Meng’er, everyone in Spirit Ruins Realm knows about Xiao Meng’er, and everyone outside Xianyuan Five Realms knows about Qianyu Nichang.
But Xiao Meng’er’s identity was clear, but who exactly was she?
Slowly, Xiao Chen’s gaze became more and more focused. He stared motionlessly at the sleeping Qianyu Nichang and the red mark beneath her left shoulder. Who exactly was she?
At this moment, in his mind, he recalled the time when he had gone down the mountain and returned to Ning Village. That time, she had returned to Ning Village with him to see Ah Niang.
He still remembered everything from that day. Let alone how happy Niang was to see her. But now, Niang was no longer here, and neither was Ning Village. She was no longer her former junior sister.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a stab of pain in his heart. It was as if something sharp had fiercely pierced his chest. It had been a long time since he felt this way. Ever since he became ice-cold, everything seemed to have dimmed down, and he didn’t care that much anymore.
But at this moment, when he thought of the past, of Ning Village, of Niang, and of Qianyu Nichang at that time, it was as if his heart had been stabbed by something.
“You … you …”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang suddenly woke up. Although he was still a little weak, he subconsciously covered his chest and tried to lean to the side. He lowered his head and said, “You … What are you doing?”
Seeing her suddenly wake up, Xiao Chen immediately regained his senses. He didn’t know how to speak for a moment and said, “You … fainted before.”
‘”So? You’re not going out yet” Qianyu Nichang wanted to say something, but he still lowered his head and tilted his body towards the side of the cave, not looking at him.
“I’m not sure if there are any toxins left in your body … If anything happens to you, just call me.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. After finishing his last sentence, he didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the cave. He thought to himself that she was in such a hurry to chase him out because he had discovered the red mark beneath her shoulder.
It wasn’t until dusk fell that Qianyu Nichang came out of the cave and felt that her aura had returned to normal. Xiao Chen asked with a frown, “How is it? Has all the remaining poison been cleared?”
“It’s okay …”
Qianyu Nichang shook his head. There was a strange expression on his face. However, the valley was a little dark under the twilight, and Xiao Chen could not see it clearly.
“Probably, I won’t be able to use my power for the next two days.”
Qianyu Nichang raised her palm and looked. Although the poison in her body had already been cleared, the poison in Hidden Wind Cloud was still powerful. As a result, it was still difficult for her to use it now. Perhaps any Harmonious Stage expert could kill her.
“It doesn’t matter. Once the poison is cleared, it’s fine.”
Xiao Chen still frowned as he spoke. He looked out of the valley. After a while, he turned around and looked at her. “The valley is full of spiritual energy. Tonight, you will recover Spiritual Energy.”
“What about you? Where are you going?”
Qianyu Nichang also looked at him, wondering if he was going to find the gathering point of Spiritual Energy leading to the eighth level? That’s right. The gathering point of Spiritual Energy disappeared. Most likely, Xiao Meng’er went up. If he didn’t catch up, it would be Xiao Meng’er who climbed up to the Nine Heavens first …
Just as she was about to say this, Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at her. “It’s not going anywhere. It’s just outside the valley.”
The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, Qianyu Nichang seemed to be absent-minded. Under the hazy twilight, it was as if the person in front of him’s hair had turned black bit by bit. His cold and stern appearance had gradually become the same as the youth of the past. “I am Senior Brother, of course I have to protect Junior Sister …”
However, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen was still in his current state. His white hair was like snow and ice-cold like frost. From beginning to end, it had not changed.
…
That night, the stars and moon were bright, and the bright moonlight illuminated the entire valley even more flawlessly. The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.
This was the seventh level of heaven, so he could still see such a scene. However, when he reached the eighth level or even the ninth level of heaven, he probably didn’t know what it was like.
At midnight, the sky was bright, and Xiao Chen was standing guard at the entrance of the valley. Suddenly, he felt the flow of Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy was heading towards the northwest. Although it was a little weak, it was indeed flowing.
Evidently, a gathering point of Spiritual Energy might have gradually formed in the northwest. Wait, something’s wrong … Xiao Chen’s expression condensed and he immediately extended his Spiritual Sense out a hundred miles. Spiritual Energy was not gathered in one place, but in multiple places.
How could this be?
This time, Xiao Chen was even more puzzled. When she got up, she looked into the valley again. No, he couldn’t leave now. Qianyu Nichang’s cultivation had yet to recover. If someone found her in the valley, she would be in extreme danger.
“Gu Mo.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen thought of something and immediately released Gu Mo from his sleeve. Ning Mei asked, “Can you sense anything?”
“Oh … what a strange Spiritual Energy.”
Gu Mo also looked towards the northwest. After a long time, he said, “It’s not just Spiritual Energy. Could it be that someone is setting up an array to gather Spiritual Energy? To set up an array in Feng Yuntian to gather Spiritual Energy like this, unless it’s someone who has already entered the Saint realm.”
“Saint realm …”
Even though he was no longer unfamiliar with the word “Saint”, he couldn’t help but tremble when he heard it from Gu Mo. Didn’t Madam Xian Shu say that people who had already entered the Saint realm couldn’t come to Feng Yuntian? How could it … could it be!
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have thought of something. Madam Xian Shu had only said that those who had entered the Sage realm could not come to Feng Yuntian, but he seemed to have overlooked a problem. Those who had entered the Sage realm outside could not come to Feng Yuntian. What about those who had never left Feng Yuntian before?
“Wait … it’s a little strange.”
Gu Mo concentrated on sensing it again. As Xiao Chen was about to extend his divine sense out again, Gu Mo reached out and stopped him. “Brat! You don’t want to die? If the other party is a saint, do you think you can avoid his divine sense by probing his divine sense like this?”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Yes, if the other party was truly a saint, wouldn’t he immediately expose himself and Qianyu Nichang to danger if he were to probe through his divine sense like this without knowing who the enemy was?
“What’s the matter?”
Right at this moment, a voice came from behind her. She saw Qianyu Nichang walk out. She had already seen Gu Mo. She was not surprised at this moment. She only looked at Xiao Chen and said, “What happened?”
“No.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and asked her, “Have you recovered your cultivation?”
“Yes, it’s fine now.” Qianyu Nichang nodded slightly. As he spoke, he looked towards the northwest and frowned, “This Spiritual Energy …”
