As the Universe Turns - Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Nascent Soul
“Sorry to disturb Childe’s cultivation. It was elder sister who asked us to protect Childe …”

A woman’s voice sounded from outside. Xiao Chen slowly stood up and said coldly, “I don’t need anyone to protect me. You guys go back.”

“But …”

The woman was still hesitant. At this moment, a cold wind blew over, causing the window to tremble. The four women instantly trembled. Even through the screen, they seemed to be able to sense the two cold eyes in the room. Only then did they slowly retreat into the distance.

After the four women left, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged again and continued to cultivate. However, no matter what, it was still difficult for him to sense the mysteries of the Nascent Soul.

He remembered that his master had once said that the most mysterious thing in cultivation was the unity of heaven and man. However, if he wanted to reach the unity of heaven and man, he had to break through some kind of restriction so that the Nascent Soul could sense the heavens and the earth and form a world. He was the ruler of this world, and all the Laws of this world were born by himself.

At that time, even mortals would be able to compete with the Immortals and the Heavens. They would no longer be bound by the restrictions between heaven and earth. Even the gods and buddhas of the Three Realms would feel fear … Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, Qing Emperor had reached a realm that no one could compare to.

With a sigh, Xiao Chen slowly stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the cold moonlight falling from the treetops in the courtyard, he couldn’t help but feel a little more sad. He didn’t know where Wei Yang was right now, and the person who laid down the Heavenly Gate couldn’t defeat him …

As the cold wind blew by, the shadows of the trees danced, and the moonlight on the ground seemed to be filled with inextricable worries.

…

After a night, Xiao Chen was still meditating in his room. Around noon, a commotion suddenly came from outside. It was unknown what had happened.

At this moment, a waiter carrying a basin of water passed by in the corridor outside the room. Xiao Chen asked, “Little brother, what happened outside?”

When the waiter heard someone calling out to him, he immediately stopped. He tilted his head and looked into the room, saying, “It seems that something happened to Feng Manlou. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

“Feng Manlou …”

Xiao Chen walked out of the room. After the waiter saw him, for some reason, he felt his heart palpitate. Then, his entire body trembled and he froze in place.

Xiao Chen ignored him and left the inn. A moment later, he arrived near Feng Manlou. The streets were full of people, whispering about something.

“Did you hear? Yesterday evening, Seven Childe of Poison Dragon Fort was actually killed in South City. His methods are amazing.”

“Killed in your own place? Who is so capable?”

“I don’t know, I seem to have heard that he’s wearing a black robe …”

“The black-robed man … hehe! There’s a black-robed man over there. Do you look like him?”

“From what you said, it really does sound like … Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.”

…

Xiao Chen walked towards Feng Manlou. For some reason, the people on both sides of the street saw him and avoided him one after another.

Not far from Fengman Attic, there were a dozen people standing in front of the building. There were more than a dozen people from Poison Dragon Fort, led by a gray-robed old man and a white-bearded Old man Qingyi.

The gray-robed old man was constantly arguing with the people of Fengman Attic, but Old man Qingyi was standing at the side, his eyes closed from beginning to end, his hands in his sleeves, and he did not say a word. He looked extremely profound and unfathomable.

At this moment, Yaoji finally came out. When the people of Fengman Attic saw her come out, they finally heaved a sigh of relief, “Greetings, Lord Yaoji.”

“You guys leave.”

Yaoji appeared to be unusually calm. He came outside and smiled at the gray-robed old man. “Sir, I don’t know what you brought to Fengman Attic today.”

When the gray-robed old man saw her come out, his eyes became even colder. He said coldly, “If the bright man doesn’t say anything insidious, if Fengman Attic doesn’t want to break the rules, hand that man over.”

“That person … May I know who Sir is referring to?”

Yaoji was still smiling and pretending not to know. The gray-robed old man said coldly, “That man killed the seventh young master of the castle master. You can’t protect him unless you think about breaking the rules.”

When these words were spoken, many people nearby were shocked. It turned out that the person who killed Seventh Young Master Poison Dragon Fort yesterday had actually come to Fengman Attic. No wonder Poison Dragon Fort came today to ask for someone.

The crowd immediately began to discuss in a low voice. In the past, Dingfeng City was very chaotic, and murders often occurred. Therefore, the three forces of Dingfeng City set a rule that if someone came in and killed someone from a certain force, no matter who it was, the other two forces would not be able to protect them.

In the past few hundred years, the rules weren’t as strict as they used to be. That was because the three forces weren’t always that serious.

But this time, it was different. This time, that person killed Poison Dragon Fort’s Seventh Young Master. If Fengman Attic insisted on protecting this person, there would probably be another calamity on both sides. It was not easy to stabilize Calm Wind City for hundreds of years. Could it be that another bloody storm was about to arrive? I’m afraid that when the time comes, everyone will be in danger.

At this moment, many people felt a burst of panic. No one but Wuji Palace wanted to see Poison Dragon Fort and Fengman Attic fight.

At this moment, Yaoji’s expression was still very calm. He smiled faintly and said, “So Sir is referring to that young master, but … that young master is the friend of the landlord. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to hand it over to Poison Dragon Fort today.”

“Humph!” The gray-robed old man flicked his sleeve coldly, “Don’t use the Rakshasa Mistress to suppress me. You should know who that person killed …”

Yaoji still smiled and said, “I’m sorry for your death, but I just said that the young master is a friend of the building master. You should know what kind of person the building master is … And I heard that Zong Qin provoked him yesterday, so I can’t blame anyone else.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more solidified. Everyone felt a wave of fear. Who exactly was that person? He was worthy of Fengman Attic’s protection even if he broke the rules.

“Then what you mean is that you absolutely won’t hand him over …”

The grey-robed old man’s eyes became even colder. Even on a hot summer day, it was as if someone had fallen into an icy pond.

“The person you’re looking for is right here.”

Suddenly, a calm voice came from not far away, causing everyone to be shocked. Following the voice, they saw a person wearing a black robe walking over.

Yaoji frowned. What was he doing here at this time? Wasn’t it just adding to the chaos …

Xiao Chen slowly took off his battle robe hat. At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen. If the grey-robed old man’s gaze just now was only cold, then his gaze was suffocating.

“You …”

The gray-robed old man did not expect such a person, but he quickly recovered and said coldly, “You killed Seventh Young Master …”

As Xiao Chen slowly walked forward, he said indifferently, “He wanted to kill me, but unfortunately, he failed. I just happened to succeed in killing him …”

“Since you have the guts to kill, then … there’s no need to hide behind Fengman Attic,” the gray-robed old man said coldly.

“Then look at me. Are you standing inside Fengman Attic or outside Fengman Attic?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people were even more stunned. This person indeed had courage and sense. The gray-robed old man nodded his head repeatedly, “Good … Very good!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and whistled towards Xiao Chen with his palm. A strong wind blew through the entire street, causing everyone to retreat. At this moment, they felt waves of terrifying palm power pressing towards them, almost unable to breathe.

Yaoji was just about to make a move, but in the next instant, she stopped. Poison Dragon Fort had more than 200 years of cultivation. She wanted to see just how much more ability this man, who was famous in the Central Plains of Xianyuan, had concealed.

The grey-robed old man’s palm struck like a gale. As soon as he spoke, it shook the houses on both sides of the street. Even the ground along the way cracked open. In an instant, smoke and dust erupted. Everyone avoided it from far away, fearing that it would affect them.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen still looked calm and relaxed. When the palm approached, he raised his hand and a dragon roar sounded. The palm force immediately whistled out, and with a “rumble”, it actually blocked the old man’s palm force in mid-air.

At this moment, everyone felt a burst of suffocation and kept retreating.

The palms of the two of them surged out, as if they were about to destroy everything. If it weren’t for the defensive array around Fengman Attic, everything in the vicinity would have been wiped out long ago.

However, the sound of dragon roars rushed into the clouds. However, this was not the Xuanqing Sect’s Dragon Roar Palm. Instead, it was more like it carried a dark energy, causing the originally golden palm power to appear somewhat black mist-shrouded.

The grey-robed old man from Poison Dragon Fort was blocked in midair by his palm force. He felt a little suffocated, unable to move forward any further. He couldn’t help but be shocked. What a powerful skill this person possessed!

In the distance, Yaoji and the others did not expect Xiao Chen’s strength to be so profound. Without moving a single step, he was able to resist the Poison Dragon Fort’s strength for more than 200 years.

At this moment, the entire street was blown by the strong winds. Everyone was already unable to breathe. The palms of the two of them seemed as if they were about to tear them apart.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s gaze turned cold. He sent his palm forward and a terrifying force surged out. With a “boom”, the gray-robed old man was sent flying.

“Deng! Deng! Deng!”

The old man landed on the ground, but his feet couldn’t stop. He continued to retreat more than ten steps before he stood still. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen with even more fear in his eyes. The power just now was …

“Truly … dreadful.”

Right at this moment, the green-robed old man who had been silent all this while suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, everyone felt stifled, unable to move even half a step away. This pressure was …

Xiao Chen also noticed that from the beginning, he had noticed that this old man was very different from the others. If what he expected was not bad, this was an expert who had cultivated into a Nascent Soul
