As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1220
Chapter 1220 Threats
After a long time, Zi Xuan’er finally regained her senses. When she looked forward, Xiao Chen’s figure had already disappeared.
She had always been highly praised by everyone, but just now, she seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her body. She remembered that in the past, Xuan Yue had been completely obedient to her, but now, she was so cold.
This contrast made her even more disgusted. No matter what, she had to bring back the Tongxin Jade. But before, she had thought of the Xuan Yue who was obedient to her. As long as she spoke, even if Xuan Yue did not agree, she would still give the Tongxin Jade to her in the end. But now that Xuan Yue was so cold and indifferent, what if he did not give it to her?
The more she thought about it, the more nameless Zi Xuan’er felt. Coincidentally, two gorgeous women walked over from not far away and sneered at her. “Zi Xuan’er, could that person be your fellow disciple back in the Third Grade Domain?”
“What does it have to do with you?”
Zi Xuan’er felt even more irritated and disgusted when she saw the two of them walking over, especially when she heard someone mention that she had come from the Third Grade Domain.
“Heh …”
The two women smiled sinisterly and said, “Nothing much. I’m just concerned about Junior Sister. Oh right, I heard that you and that person are immortal companions. They were set up by your master back then, but now, you’re talking to Senior Brother Xie. Tsk tsk tsk …”
“What’s wrong with Senior Brother Xie and I? Look at the two of you. If you lie in front of others, they might not even glance at you.”
“Little bitch … what did you say!”
“Impudent! What are you doing here!”
Just as the two sides were arguing, Elder Xingxiu suddenly came out with a cold expression on his face, causing the disciples to obediently retreat, “Greetings Elder …”
“Alright.”
Elder Xingxiu’s gaze was cold and his face was full of frost. “If you have nothing else, go back and cultivate properly. Soon, there will be the Hanshan Trial. This time, there will only be three spots for me to go to the First Grade Domain. If you want to become a master in the future, then work hard from now on! Even if you can’t get the spots this time, you can continue next time!”
“Yes …”
The disciples didn’t dare to do it again. They all went into the distance. The two gorgeous women sneered at Zi Xuan’er before leaving.
“Zi Xuan’er, you stay first.” Just as Zi Xuan’er was about to leave, Elder Xingxiu suddenly stopped her.
“Elder, what’s wrong” Zi Xuan’er turned around and saw that Elder Xingxiu was looking at him with a frown. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Elder Xingxiu looked at her and said, “I once had some friendship with you and Xuan Yue’s master. In the letter, I heard him mention the matter of your immortal couple …”
Hearing this, Zi Xuan’er’s entire body trembled. It was as if he was suddenly struck by lightning. His expression was anxious and he was about to say something when Elder Xingxiu interrupted him. “Xuan Yue’s talent is actually not low. In the future, he will definitely spread his wings. It would be great if you combined with him …”
“Wait! Elder, I…” Zi Xuan’er’s face turned even paler as she anxiously said, “Senior Brother and I…”
“Alright, you can go back.” Elder Xingxiu waved his hand, then turned around and walked into the Starry Constellation Pavilion.
“Elder …”
Zi Xuan’er was left stunned. A gust of cold wind blew by her side. After a while, she slowly regained her senses. No wonder Xuan Yue was so cold just now. It turned out that he went to talk to Elder Xingxiu about this. Good thing you, Xuan Yue, you haven’t seen him for 60 years. You’ve really changed. You’ve become more powerful than before …
At this moment, a cold light flashed in Zi Xuan’er’s eyes. Xuan Yue, if you have the ability to find Elder Xingxiu, then I’ll go find Senior Brother Xie …
…
Over the next two days, Xiao Chen was busy learning about Mirage Sea and the Bone Erosion Lands. He slowly discovered that it was not an easy task to obtain a spot in Ancient Immortal Realm. At least in a small place like Tianming Sect, there was absolutely no possibility. The only way was to keep going upwards …
As for Tianming Sect, a sect that was in the Second Grade Domain, it was not considered big. There were eight elders in the sect, and Elder Xingxiu was only one of them. The eight elders’ cultivation levels were different, and Elder Xingxiu’s cultivation level was at the Transcendental Stage of the Four Stages before entering the Sage realm, so it could not be considered high.
As for the person with the highest cultivation, it was the Xuanming Pavilion. It was said that the Xuanming Pavilion Elder already had the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage, while Sect Leader Tianming Sect had been in secluded meditation recently. No one knew how high his cultivation was. It was only rumored that the Sect Leader had already approached the Saint realm.
Looking at it this way, this Tianming Sect’s strength was about the same as that of Yun Sect in the Land of Ancient Shu. Perhaps it was even higher.
However, Xiao Chen was not interested in this. What happened to Tianming Sect had nothing to do with him. Xuan Yue’s identity was only temporary. His goal was to go to a higher place and obtain a place to enter Ancient Immortal Realm. Therefore, he was destined to not stay in Mirage Sea for long.
…
That night, the night was as dark as ink. A cold crescent moon hung on the horizon. Xiao Chen was in his room sorting out the things in Xuan Yue’s bag when a small concentric jade suddenly fell out.
There were only half a piece of Concentric Jade, and there was a wisp of blood essence sealed inside. According to Xuan Yue’s memories, Xiao Chen naturally knew what this was. At the same time, he remembered Zi Xuan’er from that day.
With his knowledge, how could he not tell that Zi Xuan’er didn’t have a Xuan Yue in his heart? In fact, the woman had acted very unnaturally that day. It seemed that she had already had an affair with someone else.
However, it didn’t matter to Xiao Chen. In any case, he wasn’t the real Xuan Yue. He should send this half-hearted jade over tomorrow.
At this moment, another item came out from the bag. It was a pearl that emitted a faint green light. Xiao Chen held the pearl in his hand, thinking that Xuan Yue was also pitiful. Before he died, he still thought about his junior sister, but he didn’t know that this junior sister that he had been longing for had already betrayed him.
Xiao Chen casually tossed the pearl out. This had nothing to do with him. He didn’t want to entangle himself with Zi Xuan’er, so he could send this Concentrated Jade to her in the morning.
…
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Chen left, he saw a lot of people gathered on the open space outside the courtyard. In front of the courtyard, there was a figure. It was Zi Xuan’er from that day.
“Junior Sister, are you alright?”
Xiao Chen looked at her with the same calm and indifferent expression as before. Just as he finished speaking, a person suddenly walked up from behind the crowd. Following that person, the disciples of the Star Constellation Pavilion hurriedly moved aside, as if they were afraid of blocking this person’s path.
However, this person was dressed in red, and his eyes were cold. His entire body was filled with an aura of arrogance. It was precisely Xie Wuxia from that day.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Xie …”
Seeing this person walk over, Zi Xuan’er’s face became even more nervous. Xie Wuxia’s cold gaze landed on Xiao Chen, and without saying a word, she gave the surrounding people a suffocating pressure.
“Are you alright?” Seeing that this person was blocking the way, Xiao Chen stared at him and asked indifferently.
Xie Wuxia didn’t say much. She waved her finger, and with a “whoosh” sound, an object flew towards him. Xiao Chen reached out to catch the object that flew over. He looked at it and saw that it was a spirit jade with extraordinary spiritual light.
Xie Wuxia still looked arrogant and arrogant, “Here is this spirit jade. From now on, don’t pester Xuan’er. Also, give me Xuan’er’s Concentrated Jade.”
These words seemed to be an extremely domineering attitude. It was as if the other party had no choice but to do as he said. There was no room for negotiation. Even the disciples watching from behind were inexplicably shivering.
Xiao Chen held the spirit jade in his hand and looked at it. He said indifferently, “What happened between me and Junior Sister is related to you?” With a “whoosh” sound, he bounced the spirit jade back.
At this moment, the disciples of the Starry Constellation Pavilion were stunned. Senior Brother Xie’s ident. I.ty was extraordinary. His clan belonged to the First Grade Realm, and now he was only here to train. Even the elders were polite to him. This person, who came from a small Third Grade Realm, really didn’t want to die?
The atmosphere became especially cold. Many people looked at each other and subconsciously retreated. Zi Xuan’er was also stunned. She did not expect that senior apprentice-brother in the past would not only be obedient to her, but also to other important figures with high status. But now …
“Very good …”
Sure enough, Xie Wuxia, who was used to being complimented by others, felt as if someone had touched his reverse scale. At this moment, his gaze turned cold. “Did you not hear what I just said, or …”
However, before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped him from continuing. Then, he looked at Zi Xuan’er and said, “Did you call him here?”
Seeing that he actually ignored Senior Brother Xie like this, the surrounding atmosphere became even colder. Zi Xuan’er’s body trembled slightly, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and raised her head to say, “That’s right, so what?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to be even more confident. She straightened her chest and looked at Xiao Chen, “Xuan Yue, today, I have made it clear to you that what happened back then was not what I wanted, but what Master and the elders wanted, and you were just wishful thinking. Now, I want to retrieve my Consonant Jade, is there anything wrong?” “Big deal, I’ll personally admit my punishment to Master later …”
After she finished speaking, the surroundings became silent. Everyone was silent. After a long while, they began to discuss quietly.
As for Zi Xuan’er, her face was flushed red and she pinched her fingers tightly. Originally, she didn’t want to tell everyone about these private matters, but the other party wanted to use Elder Xingxiu to suppress her, so she had no choice but to go find Senior Brother Xie.
“Now, do you hear me clearly?” Xie Wuxia looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly.
“She spoke so loudly. I’m sure everyone here heard her clearly.”
From beginning to end, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. At this moment, it was the same. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the half concentric jade from his sleeve.
Zi Xuan’er was stunned when she saw her jade. Just as she was about to reach out, she saw Xiao Chen say indifferently, “Originally, I intended to go to Junior Sister’s place this morning and return this jade to Junior Sister. But now, I have changed my mind.”
