As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1172
Chapter 1172 Taoist Sect Disciples
At this moment, the entire room was silent. Xiao Chen looked at the two people in front of him. His mind was full of thoughts, but it was hard to say anything. After a long time, he said calmly, “The two of you saved me.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room became even more quiet. The two people in the room were the current head of the Su Clan, Su Changqing, and his wife.
At this moment, Madam Su heard Xiao Chen’s cold and indifferent tone, and she couldn’t help but be stunned. However, when she thought about what happened back then, she could only lower her head and sigh, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Su Changqing slowly helped her behind him and asked Xiao Chen, “How do you feel now?”
Xiao Chen circulated his Qi slightly and discovered that the toxins in his body had already been exhausted, and his injuries had almost recovered. However, the circulation of his Qi was still somewhat hindered …
It seemed that the person in front of him had used his cultivation to treat his injuries.
“Thank you …”
Her calm tone made Madam Su’s heart feel even more uncomfortable. Especially when she saw him with snow-white hair and thought of her daughter who had passed away, she couldn’t help but cry when the scenes of the past appeared again.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was still calm. In his entire life, his six kinship relationships were shallow. As soon as he was born, his parents had already left. He treated Wu Niang as his biological mother, but afterwards, the entire Ning Village disappeared.
For all these years, he had never felt any kinship. To him, the word kinship was like being forever sealed beneath an iceberg.
“Sigh …” Su Changqing sighed for a long time before saying, “You must really want to know what happened back then …”
“Back then … why did everyone want to kill my father back then?” Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. At this moment, a hostile aura suddenly appeared in his heart.
Su Changqing sighed and said, “Back then, your father conspired with Diabolism to touch the entire Ancient Immortal Realm …”
“You think so too” Xiao Chen’s fingers clenched even tighter as he looked up at him motionlessly.
Su Changqing shook his head and sighed. Madam Su also slowly walked up from behind. Her eyes were wet as she said, “Your father, Xiao Zhufeng, how could he have done those things back then when he was a chivalrous and gentle man? How could we not know that he was framed?”
At this point, Madam Su wiped her eyes and continued, “He was originally someone who stood up to the heavens and didn’t want to drag anyone down. But Rou’er’s temperament was also strong back then. She followed his life and death and swore that she would never regret it … After all these years, child, you must have a grudge in your heart. Why didn’t we save them back then?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. There was no hatred. His mother was their biological daughter. If he could save her, could they not save her?
Even though Su Changqing had already reached the Saint realm at that time, in this world, the things that he couldn’t help but do were those who had entered the Sage realm.
Su Changqing sighed, “When I rushed to Acheron Valley, it was already a step too late …”
“Acheron Valley …”
Xiao Chen thought of that trip to Acheron Valley, the mountain that was pierced through by the Nine Firmaments Blue Falling Palm. His father and mother had indeed escaped to Acheron Valley, but Tai Huazi still caught up to them …
Su Changqing continued, “When I arrived, Tai Huazi was also seriously injured, but you were snatched away by another mysterious black-robed man. I didn’t care about the situation in Acheron Valley at that time, so I could only think of a way to chase you back first. That man’s cultivation is not below mine at all. I followed his aura all the way and chased after him for three days and three nights before catching up to him.”
“The mysterious black-robed man …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. At this moment, he already had a premonition that the matter with Three Corpse Demon might be resolved.
“That’s right, listen to me slowly” Su Changqing stroked his white beard and slowly explained the situation back then.
…
“Haha, you are indeed worthy of being the Su Clan’s Clan Master. You’ve chased me for three days and three nights, but you still haven’t lost much Genuine energy. Amazing …”
Beneath the black robe came a gloomy laugh, while the baby in his hand kept crying.
Hearing the baby cry louder and louder, Su Changqing’s heart became more and more nervous. He stared at the person. Even though he was already at the Saint realm, he was unable to tell who this person was from his aura. He said, “Who exactly is Your Excellency? This child has just been born. Please return him to me, Your Excellency.”
“Haha, if Clan Head Su wants to save your daughter’s child, then come up and give it a try …”
Under the black robe, another sinister laugh came, followed by a burst of black mist that enveloped the baby.
“You!”
Su Changqing’s face was shocked. The black mist corroded his heart. How could a baby who had not yet reached full moon withstand it? He did not hesitate any longer and flew up in an instant.
Although the black-robed man held the baby in one hand, his other hand was full of strange moves, and Su Changqing’s cultivation was naturally not ordinary. The two of them fought for a while, but the heavens and the earth did not distinguish between superior and inferior.
At the last moment, the black-robed man suddenly threw the baby into the air and formed a seal with his left hand, instantly striking towards Su Changqing.
As for Su Changqing’s heart-bound infant, he was about to reach out to receive it, but at this moment, he could feel that the other party’s profound seal was not trivial. He could only retract his hand and use it to resist. With a “bang”, he was actually pushed back by the black-robed man’s profound seal.
The black-robed man caught the baby and smiled, “Patriarch Su, how about this one …”
“You” At this moment, Su Changqing’s expression changed. “You are a member of the Dao Sect!”
If it weren’t for the profound Dao Art, it would have been extremely difficult to execute that formidable profound seal just now. Therefore, Su Changqing was certain that this person in front of him was not from the Demon Gate, but from the Dao Gate!
“Oh? Has the Su Clan’s Clan Master discovered him” The black-robed man smiled darkly. Underneath the dark battle robe, black mist shrouded him, making his identity even more mysterious and unfathomable.
Su Changqing’s expression was still hard to calm down. Before this, he had always thought that the other party was a member of the Demon Gate. He didn’t expect that … he was actually a member of the Dao Gate, and he was also a person of extremely high cultivation!
“Since you are a member of the Dao Sect, why are you so hard on a child? Why don’t you show your true identity?”
“True identity, hehe …”
The black-robed man smiled. At this moment, his voice became incomparably cold, as if it was filled with hostility. “My past identity has been so long that even I can’t remember it clearly …”
“You …”
Su Changqing was stunned. In this instant, it was as if he had fallen into an abyss. He only felt a chill from behind him. The identity of this person in front of him … was probably not simple!
“No matter who your Excellency is, it is absolutely impossible to take this child away today!”
Suddenly, Su Changqing’s entire body trembled with profound energy. Around him, purple energy shrouded the surroundings. Even within a radius of several kilometers, purple light soared into the sky. A surging aura instantly surged between heaven and earth.
The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed, “Oh? One of the Four Great Ancient Mysterious Techniques, Purple Qi from the East …”
In the blink of an eye, Su Changqing’s purple energy had already been formed. In an instant, it turned into a purple light and attacked the black-robed man. Both of them already had Saint realm cultivation. Under such a battle technique, how could they be idle?
The two of them fought until the surrounding mountains and rivers shattered, and the rivers reversed. Finally, they arrived at the top of an abyss. However, beneath the abyss, there was no sun, and a foul aura enveloped them.
The black-robed man suddenly said gloomily, “You want to save him? Then go to this dark abyss …” With that, he pushed the baby in his hand towards the abyss.
The sound of crying echoed above the abyss. Su Changqing was suddenly shocked. He rushed down the abyss in an instant. However, the moment he caught the baby, a ghost mark rushed towards his chest from within his swaddling clothes.
This time, it came too quickly. Even though Su Changqing was prepared, it was too late. With a “chi” sound, the ghost mark penetrated his chest.
“Uh …”
Su Changqing immediately let out a muffled snort. Why was his cultivation so high? He immediately knew that Genuine energy, which had just been condensed by this person, had collapsed in an instant.
The black-robed man laughed coldly and suddenly turned into a swift shadow. With a “bang”, Su Changqing was hit by a palm that hit his chest. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and carried the baby in his arms as he fell into the abyss.
Fortunately, Su Changqing’s cultivation had already surpassed that of an ordinary saint. Even if he was plotted against, he forcefully picked up Genuine energy and rushed out of the abyss, landing on the edge of a cliff.
“Uh …”
However, his face was deathly pale. As the black-robed man continued to conjure seals and chant incantations, ghost seals appeared on his body. In the end, these ghost seals were buried in his body.
Su Changqing held the baby with one hand and condensed Genuine energy with the other. He continuously pointed at several large acupoints on his body. Even so, this curse was too powerful. He could only temporarily seal it with Samadhi True Fire.
Su Changqing’s entire body was covered in cold sweat. He calculated with his fingers and his expression changed, “This is … the Ghost Heaven Curse! You!”
This time, when he looked at the black-robed man again, there was a look of astonishment in his eyes. “So, Your Excellency … is actually someone from the Outer Heavens!”
…
“Heaven beyond Heaven …”
Inside the room, sandalwood fragrance was lingering. Xiao Chen’s expression was solemn. He recalled that not long ago in the clouds and winds, he had heard that old man He Manzi tell stories about the Heavens beyond Heaven, Jiuyou Clan, Li Hen Palace, Terminator Terrace, Greed, Devil God Abyss, and the Gates of Profundity …
In front of the bed, Su Changqing’s face suddenly turned pale. Madam Su immediately supported him, “How about it?”
“No, it’s fine …”
Su Changqing slowly let go of her hand and looked at Xiao Chen and nodded, “That’s right, this Ghost Heaven Curse is a secret curse that the Outer Heavens don’t transmit. As for who that person was back then, and why did he use this Ghost Heaven Curse? I’m still not sure about this matter …”
…
“Haha, Patriarch Su, I wonder what this Ghost Heaven Curse tastes like …”
Above the abyss, the black-robed man let out a gloomy laugh. Su Changqing was under the Ghost Heaven Curse, and his expression became worse and worse. A black mark appeared between his eyebrows, and it seemed as if he had broken through his “Samadhi”.
At this moment, the baby in his arms could not stop crying. Su Changqing looked at the child who had yet to reach full moon, and then thought of his daughter who had passed away. His heart seemed to have been ruthlessly constricted. At this moment, his expression became even uglier, as if it was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
‘”Your Excellency is a member of the Dao Sect. There are few Dao Arts in your body, but you have done unjust things. Today, Su Changqing would like to see if you are a human or a ghost!”
Suddenly, Su Changqing held the baby in his left hand and slashed into the void with his right hand. At this moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the heavens and earth paled. The surrounding mountain peaks couldn’t help but shift, instantly forming a formation that imprisoned the black-robed man within.
“Drink!”
Su Changqing slapped down with his palm. The wind and clouds in the sky instantly turned into a purple palm print. Mountains collapsed and the earth split apart. There was actually primeval power in the Primeval Desolation! A palm strike enveloped the black-robed man!
