As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1236
Chapter 1236 Zhaoyue
After the black mist dissipated, a figure suddenly descended from the sky. It was none other than Xiao Chen. With a swipe of his finger, the Heavy Sky Sword instantly emitted a great amount of green light. With a few “whoosh whoosh” sounds, it immediately slashed the magical creatures on the ground to the point of annihilating both their bodies and spirits.
The green-robed woman and the two old men were shocked when they saw these powerful demons being annihilated in an instant. This person was so powerful …
On the other side, the Asura Race woman’s expression changed. She saw a white-haired man, who did not look like an ASEAN person. She shouted coldly, “Who are you? You’re meddling here!”
“Mind your own business?”
Xiao Chen glanced at her and said indifferently, “Lang Lang Qiankun, everyone is here to hurt people with magical creatures. Forget it, I’ll let you go today. If you don’t leave now, your bodies and spirits will be destroyed.”
“You!”
The red-clothed woman glared at him. Suddenly, she raised her palms and a billowing black mist assaulted her. The two old men behind her were suddenly shocked, “Young Hero, be careful!”
However, Xiao Chen’s eyes were still cold. He gently raised his sleeve. The black mist in the sky was actually unable to penetrate him at all. Seeing this scene, the two old men behind him were even more shocked. Who was this young man? He was actually not afraid of this Asura Demon Fiend …
The woman in red obviously did not expect that among these cultivators, there was actually no fear of her Asura Qi.
Her expression couldn’t help but change slightly, wanting to activate the black mist again. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen’s palm brushed towards her, immediately scattering the black mist all over her body. Even she herself was shaken so much that she kept retreating.
“Princess!”
The two Asura guards immediately stepped forward to support her. They couldn’t help but feel a little shocked. This person clearly didn’t condense Genuine energy’s protective body, but why didn’t he fear the Asura Qi at all?
“Move aside!”
The red-clothed woman seemed to be unconvinced. She gritted her teeth and suddenly rushed forward. However, this time, she was attacking Xiao Chen on the surface. In fact, her target was the green-clothed woman at the side.
However, how could Xiao Chen not see through her little tricks? The instant her true body grabbed onto the green-clothed woman, Xiao Chen was already in front of her. He threw out a palm, “Bang!” This palm was neither heavy nor light, and it sent her flying.
“Uh …”
The red-clothed woman covered her chest and her face immediately turned pale. A few Asura guards behind her caught up and supported her, “This person is formidable. Princess, let’s go first!”
In the end, a few Asura Race people fled into the distance. Before they left, the woman in red even turned around and looked at Xiao Chen resentfully. She said hatefully, “Brat, I remember you …”
After the Asura Clansmen escaped, peace returned to the mountains. Only then did the two old men wake up from their dreams and cupped their fists towards Xiao Chen. “Thank you for saving me, Young Hero. I wonder what you should call me, Young Hero.”
“It’s just that the road is uneven … There are still remnants of magical creatures nearby. Be careful.” Xiao Chen said indifferently. After he finished speaking, he took off his flying sword again and flew out of the mountain in an instant.
“Young Hero … Young Hero!”
The two old men chased after him, but in the end, they disappeared. The woman in green also walked up and stared blankly in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. She muttered, “This Childe, he didn’t even reveal his name …”
“Forget it … Let’s first take a look at their injuries, and then we need to leave this place as soon as possible.” The two old men regained their senses and immediately walked towards the injured guards.
…
By the time twilight fell, Xiao Chen had already arrived at the foot of a large city with his sword. From afar, this city was boundless. It was indeed very large.
When he arrived near the city gate, Xiao Chen descended from his flying sword and walked into the city. The carriages and water dragons in the city flowed endlessly, making it very lively.
Originally, I thought that the Bone Corrosion Lands were all extremely ferocious places, but I never thought that there would actually be such a prosperous city.
At this moment, Xiao Chen remembered that the Bone Corrosion Land was a fragment left behind by the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. Other than some dangerous places, how could there not be a prosperous place?
Just as he was walking, a series of gongs and drums suddenly rang out in front of him. Xiao Chen walked forward and saw that the road ahead was blocked. He didn’t know who was beating the gongs and drums.
At this moment, someone on the roadside said, “Have you heard? A few days ago, Childe Chu came back … A few days ago, Childe Chu went to Ling Xiao Palace and became his master. This time, the Asura disturbed Mirage Sea. He came back specifically to deal with those Asuras …”
“Really? That’s great! This time, those Asuras are really arrogant …”
‘”I heard that Childe Chu has already stepped into the Saint realm, and has received the direct legacy of Daoist Ling Xiao. I don’t think anyone in this younger generation can compare to him. This time, how can our ASEAN not lose to the Divine Palace and the Firmament Fault …”
‘”How talented is Childe Chu? I heard that on the night he was born, a white rainbow suddenly descended from the nine heavens, reflecting the entire White Maple City as if it was daytime. However, it’s amazing …”
“I’ve also heard that Childe Chu once comprehended the Profound realm and saw the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden of the High Gods in his dreams. Now, he has three costs, all of which are passed down from the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden …”
“This time, the Asura is finally going to be finished. It won’t be able to harm anyone anymore …”
…
Along the way, Xiao Chen heard a lot of people discussing, and most of them were about a person called “Childe Chu”.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t pay much attention to the rumors on the roadside. When the night fell, he found an inn. He hurried down the road these days, feeling exhausted. He naturally needed to rest properly.
“My guest, the wine you want!”
In the corridor outside the room, the shop assistant walked in with two jugs of wine. When he left, Xiao Chen stopped him and said, “Little brother, wait a moment.”
“Sir, do you have any other instructions?”
“Along the way, I’ve seen many people mention the word ‘Childe Chu’. May I know who this Childe Chu is?”
“Yo! This guest officer, you must have come from the outside, right? This Childe Chu is extraordinary. He is the son of King Mu. King Mu’s eight million Imperial Army has contributed a lot to our Association of Southeast Asian Nations in resisting the Asura Invasion over the years!”
“Oh?”
“Hehe, guest officer, you still don’t know, right? Childe Chu is a dragon and phoenix amongst men. One of the four alliances in front of him is a Martial Union, and Childe Chu suppressed the other three. Afterwards, he even joined the Soaring Firmament Palace. I heard that he has already stepped into the Saint realm! It’s truly the blessing of my Association of Southeast Asian Nations!”
“Mm … I see. You can go and do your work.”
‘”Good! If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to give me orders! Also, the Asura has been rampant recently. They are cruel and bloodthirsty. I heard that they are also eating people. It’s terrifying. If you want to go out, you must be careful. It’s best not to go to the forest alone.”
After the shop assistant left, peace returned to the room. Xiao Chen sat by the window. He recalled that the Asura he had encountered in that mountain range during the day was it?
Apart from their enormous size, the Asuras were capable of summoning magical creatures. They seemed no different from ordinary cultivators. No matter how they looked at it, they did not look like monsters that ate humans among the population.
Especially the red-clothed woman. Xiao Chen recalled now. For some reason, the resentment in her eyes when she left could still be clearly seen in his mind. There was also the phrase “I remember you”. She did not seem to be as cruel and bloodthirsty as people said.
The night breeze outside slowly blew. Xiao Chen regained his senses and shook his head. He thought to himself that because she was well-behaved, that was why you felt that she was not a bloodthirsty person. If she was an ugly person, then do you think what the waiter said just now was correct?
He poured himself a glass of wine and didn’t think too much about it. At this moment, Yue Zhengming was outside the window. He didn’t drink much, nor did he know when he started drinking. At this moment, the jade bottle shook, and Moon in the wine seemed to have changed into Wei Yang’s appearance. After another flash, it disappeared.
…
The next day, Xiao Chen set off for Zhaoyue City. After walking for three days, he finally arrived at the city where the ASEAN Alliance Master was located.
The city was indeed very prosperous. Even in the sky, there were islands floating. On the islands, there were also jade buildings that looked like immortals.
When Xiao Chen first came to the city, he felt that the earth veins beneath the city were extremely powerful, and the entire city was also enveloped by a layer of dense spiritual energy. It was precisely because of this that the islands in the sky could not fall.
“Little friend, you’re here.”
Not long after Xiao Chen entered the city, he saw a grey-haired Taoist walking towards him from afar. The Taoist was holding a whisk and his face was red. It was none other than Tianming Sect, who had given him the Immortal Alliance Token that day in Daoist Hao.
“So, Taoist Priest, I’ve already predicted that I would come today.”
Xiao Chen walked forward. He didn’t have much of a wary heart towards Daoist Hao. Now that he had comprehended the Realm of Return to Truth, his spiritual sense had become much sharper than before. If the other party harbored malicious intentions, then his gaze would definitely not be able to escape his spiritual sense.
“Haha …”
Daoist Hao smiled and said, “That day in Tianming Sect, I saw Little Friend’s extraordinary aura. As for Little Friend’s protection of Tianming Sect, I submitted it to the Alliance Leader a few days ago. Today, the Alliance Leader is waiting for Little Friend in the mansion. Please come with me, Little Friend.”
Xiao Chen thought to himself, would the ASEAN Alliance Leader wait for someone whose identity and origins were still unknown? What kind of medicine were these two selling in their gourds? However, since he had come today, he naturally wanted to meet the ASEAN Alliance Leader.
“Then please lead the way, Taoist Priest.”
“Haha, little friend, come.” Daoist Hao smiled and swept his gaze over the dust. A cloud of mist immediately gathered on the ground and took him flying into the sky.
It turned out that the “Immortal Palace” where the ASEAN Alliance Leader was located was not built in the city, but above the clouds above the city. Through the clouds, one could see the islands floating above the sea of clouds. There were even immortal mountains that could be faintly seen. On top of these mountains, there were jade buildings that looked like immortal palaces.
At this moment, there was a middle-aged man with snow-white hair sitting in a palace. The middle-aged man was dignified and his immortal energy was condensed. He was clearly a saint. He was none other than the ASEAN Alliance Leader, Wang Ting.
Of course, this didn’t mean that his cultivation was the highest in the entire ASEAN. Although he had already entered the Sacred realm and ascended to the position of Alliance Master, the Immortal Palace was only the tip of an iceberg in ASEAN’s size, and there were people with unfathomable cultivation outside.
Beside Wang Ting was a woman dressed in green. She was actually the woman who was rescued by Xiao Chen in the mountains that day. The two old men from that day were also in the hall. However, at this moment, both of them lowered their heads silently and did not dare to speak. It was obvious that they had just returned to Zhaoyue City today.
