As the Universe Turns - Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Dingfeng City
The wind blew coldly. At this moment, the two of them fell into silence again.

After a long time, Xiao Chen said, “Senior, in a few words, you want I am to leave the Ancient Land of Xianyuan. It seems that it is somewhat unconvincing.”

The old man seemed to have known that he would ask such a question. He said, “That person has only his hand covering the sky. If you want to take revenge now, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will also be in danger. Moreover, the person you are looking for is no longer in the five regions of Xianyuan.”

Wei Yang …

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to know a lot about this mysterious old man in front of him. Now, should he listen to what he said? If Wei Yang really wasn’t in the five great domains, what use would it be if he turned the five great domains upside down?

Seeing that he was moved, the old man suddenly waved his hand and threw away an object. Xiao Chen reached out to catch the flying object, but upon closer inspection, it was a unique golden leaf.

The old man said, “Take this golden leaf and go to Fengmanlou in Dingfeng City. Find a person named ‘Yaoji’. She will guide you in everything.”

“I haven’t consulted you yet. Senior’s surname is Gao.”

Xiao Chen held the golden leaf in his hand. At this moment, he looked at the old man and felt that his identity was even more mysterious. He now knew that no one in this world would ever help you for no reason. Only what he did would benefit him.

The old man took a deep breath and turned around. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the Lonely Moon in the sky. After a long time, he slowly said, “Chu Tianyao, few people in the world know this name.”

Chu Tianyao …

Xiao Chen focused. Was this person called Chu Tianyao? However, he had never heard of this name before. With this old man’s peerless cultivation, how could no one in the world know this name?

“Also …”

The old man turned his head back slightly. At this moment, the expression on his face became even more solemn. “Control the power of life and death. From now on, it’s best that you don’t use it so easily. Whether it’s the power of life or the power of death.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s heart trembled slightly. This person was actually able to see through his own control over life and death. Who exactly was he …

“I’m leaving. We’ll see each other again in the future.”

The old man looked at him for the last time. He pointed his feet and floated off into the distance. He traveled more than ten zhang away. Suddenly, he said, “Oh right, I’ve already dealt with the three people outside the door for you. No one will know your whereabouts in the near future.”

After finishing his last sentence, the old man’s figure flashed and disappeared. Xiao Chen stared in the direction where he had left. He became even more puzzled. Why did this person know so much about his own affairs?

After an incense stick of time, he returned to the previous inn. Under the corner of the courtyard, there were indeed three corpses lying silently. He walked over and flipped over the corpses of the three of them. There was a red mark on each of their eyebrows. Apparently, the Sword Qi pierced through their eyebrows and instantly destroyed their primordial spirits.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was able to silently kill people. This technique was called “an inch of red between his eyebrows”. It was as powerful as “a sword sealing his throat”. Killing people was invisible. The old man’s sword technique just now must have already reached perfection.

What did he mean by letting himself go to Fengmanlou?

The night breeze slowly blew past, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled. Xiao Chen took out the golden leaf and looked at it. He pinched it in his hand, and his figure swayed, and he left the courtyard.

Dingfeng City was located in the northwest of Xianyuan’s Northern Domain. It had to cross an endless desert before it could be reached through numerous natural hazards.

Because of the special terrain, Dingfeng City was not restricted by the Heavenly Gate, and the major powers in the city had little intersection with the various sects of the Xianyuan Righteous Dao. As time passed, Dingfeng City became an existence that wasn’t just a demon in this chaotic world, forming its own laws.

However, it was also because of this that many people who had violated the great taboo of the Righteous path had fled to Dingfeng City. As a result, there were many outlaws in the city, as well as many unknown darkness and shadows.

Especially when night fell.

However, no matter who came to Dingfeng City, regardless of whether it was the great devil who had stirred up trouble outside or the fugitive who had violated the great taboo of the Righteous path, they would definitely abide by the rules of Dingfeng City. Because there were three great powers in the city, one of them was Feng Manlou.

The other two were Poison Dragon Fort and Wuji Palace.

These three forces had maintained a tripartite situation in Dingfeng City for a long time. It seemed like a peaceful game of chess, but in fact, the three sides were constantly fighting behind each other’s backs, deceiving each other. In the past thousand years, it wasn’t as if the entire Calm Wind City had been rained down.

But now, Dingfeng City, which seemed to be gradually calming down and stabilizing, in fact, the undercurrents of the three great powers had become more and more turbulent.

…

A few days ago, there had just been a heavy rain. The city was still a little stuffy these two days. As dusk approached, everything seemed to be in order. Xiao Chen walked down the street. Because he was wearing a black robe, it was rather eye-catching.

When he first came to Dingfeng City, he didn’t know where Fengman Attic was, so he could only ask about it. Moreover, the size of this city far exceeded his previous expectations. It was more like a small cultivation country than a city.

In addition to the shopkeeper, there were also a few servants in the shop. When the shopkeeper saw someone enter, he immediately smiled and greeted, “Brother, the shop is full of excellent weapons. Please come inside when you see Blood Sealing Throat!”

Xiao Chen pulled his battle robe downwards and said in a low voice, “Shopkeeper, I want to ask you how to get to Fengman Attic.”

Although his voice was very low, at this moment, not only did the shopkeeper of the Weapons Shop froze, even a few shop assistants stayed where they were. There were even quite a few people passing by on the street who stood there and looked at him strangely.

Killing intent …

Xiao Chen frowned. At this moment, he keenly sensed a trace of killing intent. The trace of killing intent did not come from the weapon shop, but from seven men in green slowly walking over from nearby.

His current divine sense was already extremely sharp. Even if he didn’t turn around, he could still clearly see the appearance of the seven men, as well as a strange poisonous dragon sleeve pattern on his clothes.

“Did you just ask how to get to Fengman Attic?”

Seven men walked up to him, and the leader looked at him with a faint smile on his face, but his gaze was especially unkind.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw that the seven of them were looking at him from head to toe. His eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of disgust, “How about it?”

“Haha …”

The man in the lead laughed coldly and said, “Come to Poison Dragon Fort and ask about Fengman Attic … Kid, you have guts?”

“Poison Dragon Fort … What is it?”

When Xiao Chen first came to Dingfeng City, he didn’t know the three great powers in the city. He subconsciously said this. When he saw the sleeve patterns on the clothes of the seven people again, he seemed to understand something. However, at this moment, the eyes of the seven men in green were already extremely cold.

“Kid … I think you’re tired of living!”

The Qingyi man in the lead’s eyes turned cold. Before he could finish his words, he rushed over instantly. He bent his fingers and grabbed Xiao Chen’s shoulder like a sharp iron hook.

This time, it was as fast as lightning, but Xiao Chen had already been on guard. Seeing the other party’s ferocious arrival, his right hand flashed out from one side of his body and clasped onto his wrist. He coldly said, “There’s something to talk about.”

“You …”

The expression of the man from Qingyi changed. The instant he was grabbed by his wrist, he knew that his opponent’s strength was far above his own. The rest of the people nearby were stunned. They didn’t expect that someone would dare to fight Poison Dragon Fort’s people here. Could it be that this person was really tired of living?

“Why are you all still standing there?”

The man in the lead shouted angrily. Only then did the six Qingyi men react. All of them rushed forward. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. He had just arrived in Dingfeng City and didn’t want to fight with anyone, but he definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to take advantage of him. With a push from the True Essence in his palm, a palm force whistled out. With a “bang” sound, the six people rushed forward and flew away.

The people nearby were so shocked that they all hid in the distance. The shopkeeper of the weapon shop and several of the clerks were so scared that their faces turned pale. Just now, this person was in his shop. What if it was said to be related to him?

The man from Qingyi had never expected that this person’s strength was so deep. When he was about to circulate the Poison Technique, he felt a pain in his chest and was sent flying by Xiao Chen’s palm strike.

“I dare to cause trouble in Poison Dragon Fort. May I ask who … Sir is this person?”

Right at this moment, a voice that was neither ice nor cold sounded nearby. A man dressed in red walked over from afar at some unknown time. The man had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and a green folding fan in his hand. His gaze was exceptionally sharp.

Seeing Seventh Young Master suddenly arrive, the seven men felt a little relieved, but they immediately became panicked and uneasy. They hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, “Greetings, Seventh Young Master.”

This red-clothed man was none other than Zong Qin, the last of the seven adopted sons of Poison Dragon Fort Fort Master Zong Xiaotian. He was known as the Seventh Young Master.

When Xiao Chen saw him walking towards him, he said indifferently, “It’s just a person passing by. If you offend me, please forgive me. Goodbye.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other side. However, at this moment, Zong Qin’s cold voice sounded from behind, “Stop!”

Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head slightly and said calmly, “What else do you need?”

“Did I say you can leave now …”

Zong Qin’s eyes became colder and colder. He slowly approached. Everyone nearby held their breath. It was not that they didn’t know of Seventh Young Master Poison Dragon Fort’s methods. His poisonous skills caused their faces to change. With a light flick of his finger, they could leave a ten mile radius and a hundred years without a single blade of grass growing.

“Then, how are you going to stay …”

Xiao Chen also turned around. At this moment, their gazes met. Both of them were as sharp as needles, causing people to tremble with fear.

The people on both sides of the street were so frightened that they didn’t dare to make a sound and quietly retreated into the distance.

Zong Qin’s eyes dimmed slightly and he said indifferently, “This is South City, and Feng Manlou is in East City. However … I want you to kneel down and leave this Young Master’s line of sight. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave South City alive today. No matter who you are, I will definitely be able to do it if I say so …”
