As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1175
Chapter 1175 Phoenix Cry
When they arrived at the Phoenix Cry Stream, they saw the Phoenix Flowers swaying in the wind. As the wind blew across the mountain stream, they emitted bursts of sounds like phoenixes …
Xiao Chen’s footsteps grew heavier and heavier. It was as if there were also the shadows of his mother in his dreams in the Phoenix Flower Grove that bloomed in the valley. However, the wind blew and it disappeared again.
Finally, he arrived at a mountain stream. The water flowed down from the cliff and gathered at the bottom into a pond. Not far from the pond, there was a tomb with only five words on the stele: Tomb of Female Su Rou.
“Mother …”
Xiao Chen’s footsteps instantly became even heavier, but in the end, he still walked over step by step. Beside Su Rou’s tomb, there was a nameless tomb. There was a tombstone, but there was not a single word on the tombstone.
I think this nameless tomb is my father’s tomb. My father is from the Xiao Clan all the time, so there is not a single word on this tablet …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s heart became even heavier. The blurry images of the dream appeared in his mind again and again.
“Brother Feng, you must protect our child …”
“Ah Rou … no! No! Ah Rou …”
A heart-wrenching voice sounded in his ears. Xiao Chen held the blood jade in his hand tightly. He could imagine what had happened at that time.
Tai Huazi used the power of the Saint realm to strike down with one palm. Mother possessed a Spiritual Energy as strong as Wei Yang’s. She sacrificed herself to block Tai Huazi’s attack and protect herself and her father. At the last moment, she sealed all of her Spiritual Energy into the Samsara Jade and used her Spiritual Energy to continue to protect herself, who was still under the full moon …
Now, Xiao Chen finally understood why when Master handed the Samsara Jade to him, he felt a bloodline connection in that instant.
He finally understood why the Samsara Jade had always helped him block every time he encountered a life-threatening situation in the past …
“Mother …”
The hand holding the Blood Jade began to tremble slightly. The wind slowly blew past the mountain stream, producing a phoenix cry. Xiao Chen’s eyes slowly turned red.
“Now that you and your father are in the Phoenix Cry Stream, no one can tear you apart anymore. You don’t have to pay attention to everything outside anymore. No one can persecute you anymore …”
Xiao Chen’s voice was somewhat choked. In the end, his expression suddenly became somewhat cold and frightening. He slowly looked at the blood jade in his hand and said, “Tai Huazi, you want to become immortals and live forever, but I want you to be eternal devils …”
“Boom!”
The sky was tens of thousands of kilometers clear, and the words changed. Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, and layers of dark clouds enveloped them.
At this moment, in the three secret realms of Heavenless Palace, Taihua Palace, Zhongjiu Valley, and Cuihan Mountain, the three Adepts woke up at the same time. Their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with fear. Their entire bodies were dripping with cold sweat. They looked as terrifying as they could be.
“It’s this dream again. Someone … Someone!”
“Really, Daoist … What’s wrong?”
Outside the secret hall, a disciple of Taihua Palace hurriedly came in. When he saw Daoist Taihua’s pale and uneasy expression, that disciple’s face was so pale that he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Ever since that time, when the three Adepts were comprehending the Profound Realm, they had simultaneously seen a terrifying dream. After their cultivation had all fallen back by one realm, the disciples were always panicking and uneasy. They always felt that something big was about to happen, and they would occasionally have an inexplicable heart palpitating.
At this moment, Daoist Taihua’s face was deathly pale and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He asked the disciple, “What exactly is the situation on Lian Zhensi’s side?”
Hearing this, the disciple stammered for a long time. Finally, he lowered his head and said, “The whereabouts of the Seven Kills Palace Master are unknown. As for Lianzhen Palace Master …”
At this point, he slightly raised his head and secretly glanced at Daoist Taihua’s expression before continuing, “Lianzhen Palace Master was about to capture Xiao Yichen, but that woman suddenly appeared, heavily injuring Lianzhen Palace Master and taking Xiao Yichen away …”
“This is outrageous!”
Daoist Taihua was enraged. He slapped down with his palm and shattered the stone platform in front of him with a “bang”. The disciple was so scared that he hurriedly retreated, his eyes filled with fear. In all these years, he had never seen Daoist Taihua so enraged. How could he be so enraged when his cultivation had reached the level of three Adepts?
At this moment, that disciple didn’t dare to say anything else. After a while, when the anger on Daoist Taihua’s face dissipated, he continued to say, “Three days ago, Palace Master Zi Wei and Palace Master Greed had already rushed over …”
“Mm …”
Daoist Taihua slowly calmed down, his expression still a little gloomy. He said coldly, “Even if I use all of Heavenless Palace’s strength, I will definitely bring this person back within half a year …”
Hearing this, the disciple’s entire body trembled again, his face slightly pale. He cupped his hands and said, “Yes, disciple will definitely pass on the words …”
“Forget it, you can go down.” Daoist Taihua waved his hand, and an invisible look of exhaustion flashed across his face.
“Yes” The disciple cupped his hands and slowly left.
…
In Phoenix Cry Stream, Xiao Chen stood in front of the two graves. After standing there for an unknown amount of time, the sky started to drizzle. The Phoenix Flowers in front of the graves gently shook in the gentle breeze and drizzle.
The rain became heavier and heavier. Xiao Chen’s body was slowly drenched by the rain, and his line of sight was gradually blurred by the rain. He crouched down, picked up a handful of soil, and sprinkled it on the two graves. Finally, he slowly stood up and left.
“Rumble!”
The rain became heavier and heavier. In the nine heavens, thunder rang out, lightning pierced through the horizon, releasing tens of thousands of feet of sharp light, as if it wanted to tear apart all the darkness in this world …
…
Outside the valley, Su Changqing and Madam Su saw him come out. Both of them walked up. Xiao Chen looked at the two of them who were soaked in the rain. At this moment, even though there were thousands of words, he didn’t know what to say. In the end, they only turned into four words: “Grandfather, grandmother …”
“Good, good, good child” Madam Su’s eyes were moist as she nodded. She looked at him as if she was looking at Rou’er from back then.
Xiao Chen walked forward step by step. Ren Xie Feng and the drizzle poured down on his face, but the road ahead was still under his feet. He looked at the misty green mountain in the distance and said, “I can’t stay here …”
Hearing this, Madam Su was stunned for a moment and slowly said, “But the injuries on your body are still not healed. It’s raining heavily, where are you going …” As she said this, tears began to flow down her cheeks again.
“The world is so big, where can’t I go?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and turned around. He looked at the two people in front of him with a heavy heart and said, “Take care of yourselves.”
Su Changqing frown silently. He knew in his heart that Xiao Chen just didn’t want to bring trouble to the Su Clan and didn’t want to make things difficult for him …
Ever since he was struck by the mysterious man’s Ghost Heaven Curse, he had gradually retired from the world. Now, matters of the size of the Su Clan were left to Su Qian, as well as other elders of the Su Clan.
…
The three of them went outside. The rain had stopped and it was getting dark. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the two old men again. After saying “Take care”, he didn’t stay any longer. He tapped his feet and started his qinggong to go out of the mountain.
“Child …”
Madam Su stretched out her hand, wanting to keep him. Tears streamed down her face. Su Changqing pressed her shoulder and looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. She shook her head and sighed, “It’s exactly the same as Xiao Zhufeng back then …”
At this moment, in a small pavilion on another hillside in the distance, a woman dressed in red stood outside the pavilion, staring in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. She frowned deeply and muttered to herself, “How could that person just now be him … Why was he at our house?”
“Junior Sister … could it be that you recognize that person?”
At this moment, another man dressed in Qingyi walked out of the pavilion. From his tone, he did not seem to be from the Su Clan.
“Of course I know him!” The red-clothed woman’s eyes turned cold. “The last time I saw him in SorrowlessValley, he was the one who shot my wolf blind!”
“Oh?” The Qingyi man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left and asked, “Then who is this person who dares to offend Junior Sister?”
“He …”
This woman was none other than Su Mei’er, who had appeared in SorrowlessValley earlier. At that time, her two green wolves had bitten two of Leng Baihu’s horses to death. When one of the green wolves rushed over, it was shot blind by Xiao Chen’s hair needles.
At this moment, she frowned. Thinking that this person was the head of Lustless Heaven, she was the Miss of the Su Clan. She could not afford to offend this person. She said, “This person, he is the head of Lustless Heaven, Xiao Yichen!”
“Xiao Yichen …”
Hearing this name, the man from Qingyi was stunned. Su Mei’er turned around and saw his astonished expression. She frowned and said, “What are you making such a fuss about?”
“No, nothing …”
The man forced out a smile. Seeing his strange expression, Su Mei’er thought of something and pointed at him with a serious expression. “I’m warning you, if you dare to say a word about this person’s appearance in the Su Clan today, I won’t spare you!”
Although Su Mei’er was somewhat willful and unruly at times, she was still able to recognize the general situation. She thought to herself, could this Xiao Yichen be the heavily injured person that Auntie had brought back a few days ago? Looks like the change in Feng Yuntian, and the change in Yun Sect, is indeed true …
No matter what, this person’s identity is extraordinary. If people outside find out that he is in the Su Clan, I’m afraid that he will bring endless trouble to the Su Clan …
…
After leaving Jiansu Peak, where the Su Clan was located, Xiao Chen headed southwest. At the same time, he sent a message of Wei Yang to Spiritual Energy on a jade slip, telling them to return to Lustless Heaven first. There was no need to worry.
Along the way, he had to be careful. When it was almost dark, he suddenly stopped. His face looked slightly pale and cold sweat covered his forehead.
“Brat, can’t you hold on any longer?”
Right at this moment, a voice sounded beside him. Xiao Chen instinctively reacted with vigilance, but that voice sounded again, “Kid, don’t be nervous. It’s me.”
“Gu Mo?”
Xiao Chen turned around and saw that Gu Mo was slowly walking over. After the change in Feng Yuntian that day, Gu Mo had not made any movements. He did not know why he appeared at this moment.
“The aura of this immortal bone on your body is too heavy. If you don’t want to be discovered, then go back.”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had not fully recovered yet. Once he encountered a Quasi-Saint like Lian Zhensi, there was almost no chance of winning. The aura of Gu Mo’s immortal bone was too heavy, and it would definitely attract a Quasi-Saint expert.
“It doesn’t matter, this old man just came out to take a breath …”
As Gu Mo spoke, he slowly walked out with a proud expression, “Hmph, that person from that day, if this old man had …”
“Alright, I know. It’s just a mere Quasi-Sage. You can kill him with one palm.”
Xiao Chen’s face was somewhat pale. He recalled that day in Yun Sect, Gui Yunshan was heavily injured by the mysterious man and was beaten back into silence. He didn’t know if he could summon him now. If he couldn’t summon Gui Yunshan, he would be in danger now. Gu Mo had to go back, or else he would attract people from Heavenless Palace.
“Hmph.”
Gu Mo snorted coldly and said, “You could have waited for your injuries to fully recover before coming out, but who can you blame for being so anxious to come out?”
Xiao Chen remained silent. He did not stay in the Su Clan. Naturally, there was a reason for that. Although Su Changqing was the Su Clan’s Clan Master, he was not the one who had the final say in the entire Su Clan. It was likely that the Su Clan could not tolerate him. Since this was the case, why would he make things difficult for his grandfather?
“The heavens and the earth are vast. Don’t tell me there’s nowhere else I can go … Cough cough cough cough!”
Xiao Chen’s face instantly turned even paler. He thought that he had walked too fast just now, and his aura hadn’t been balanced yet.
He needed to return to Lustless Heaven as soon as possible, but the journey was far. Most of the Yu Ding was under Heavenless Palace’s control. He was afraid that a huge net had been laid everywhere. It was not an easy task for him to cross it now.
Especially now, his injuries hadn’t fully recovered, and his strength was far inferior to his peak. Once he encountered any Quasi-Sage above Third Grade, his life would be in danger.
So now, he had to find a place to recover his strength. However, the power of the Heavenless Palace was too wide. Perhaps he could be found at any time …
“Boom!”
Suddenly, another thunderous sound rang out in the sky. Soon after, beans-sized raindrops fell down. Soon, Xiao Chen’s entire body was drenched by the rain. His clothes were stuck to his skin, and when the wind blew, it gave him a bone-piercing chill.
The heavens and the earth are vast. Could it be that there really isn’t anywhere else to go?
At this moment, he felt a trace of icy coldness. This trace of coldness did not come from the miserable winds and rain in this world, nor from his clothes that were soaked by the rain. Instead, it came from the blood jade that was tightly clinging to his chest.
