As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1240
Chapter 1240 Gui Luoyan
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen took a closer look. Shangguan Ruoxue was still very different from Xiao Meng’er. He could not tell what was going on. In short, Xiao Meng’er gave him a very extraordinary feeling. She was like an endless abyss, unable to peek into the depths of the abyss. However, this feeling did not exist in the woman in front of him.
On the contrary, this woman in front of her was the daughter of the North Illusory Sea Alliance’s Alliance Master. Hence, she seemed to have a faint feeling of superiority.
However, Xiao Meng’er did not have such a feeling at all. Even though she was the number one person in the Xiao Clan and a disciple of Immortal Monarch Donghua, she did not have such a feeling of being above others. On the contrary, she seemed to be carrying a heavy burden on her.
Especially that time in the clouds and winds, when Xiao Chen saw her desperately go up, what kind of persistence was that?
Perhaps it was just like him, regardless of life or death, he had to save Hua Weiyang with the same persistence. Everyone had their own persistence, and he didn’t know what Xiao Meng’er’s persistence was.
At this moment, everyone below looked at the cloud platform. For the past hundred years, the four outstanding young people in Mirage Sea might not dare to say that they were the most powerful. Perhaps there were even more powerful young people in some hidden places. However, the four people standing on the platform were the most familiar and recognized as the most outstanding young people in Mirage Sea.
Shangguan Ruoxue floated lightly on the stage. Her white clothes were elegant and free from dust. She really looked like the Nine Heavens Fairy. Especially the extraordinary immortal energy, it caused many men below the stage to be infatuated with her.
Slowly speaking, it was a man. Even some young girls were looking at her infatuated. They thought in their hearts that in the future, they would have the same cultivation as her.
Chu Qingyu slowly walked towards her. Her face was no longer as cold and indifferent as before. It was as if the ice had melted away the snow. She smiled gently and said, “Ruo Xue.”
She still remembered that when she was in front of A, Chu Qingyu had only addressed her as “Miss Shangguan” at that time, but now she had addressed her as “Ruoxue”. It was not hard to imagine that there was nothing between the two of them.
Shangguan Ruoxue also walked over to him and nodded lightly. She had already greeted him. Although she did not say anything and did not have a smile on her face, from the look in her eyes, it was clear that she was no longer as lofty as before. She even had a gentle expression that was as gentle as water.
At this time, Daoist Hao whispered beside Xiao Chen, “Little friend Xuan Yue, go up as well. Also … remember what I told you before.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He tapped his feet and flew towards the cloud platform. Everyone below was stunned when they saw another white-haired young man flying towards the platform. Who was this person?
It wasn’t until a while later that someone spread among the crowd. This person was arranged by the ASEAN Alliance Leader Wang Ting. It was said that this person had saved Wang Ting’s daughter from the Asura, so he had a unique ability to deal with the Asura.
Even though it was arranged by the ASEAN Alliance Leader, everyone was relieved. However, they couldn’t see through what kind of ability this young man had. On the contrary, it looked ordinary. Was he really able to go to Ghost Rock with the leaders of the four alliances this time?
At this moment, Daoist Hao stood up and smiled, “Little friend Xuan Yue, you should have no objections to going to Ghost Luo Rock this time, right?”
Hearing this, everyone from the major powers, look at me. Let me see you. Since it was arranged by the ASEAN Alliance Leader, what opinions can they have?
This time, if he went to attack Ghost Luo Yan quietly, he might be able to succeed, rather than going in such a big way to prepare the other party.
However, since this time it was to boost morale and the four top youths of the four alliances were heading forward, it was naturally impossible for them to launch a sneak attack. Even if the sneak attack succeeded, it would not be able to boost morale. On the contrary, they would lose some of their status.
Therefore, this time, the crowd went out with great fanfare. They weren’t afraid that the Asura side would tightly defend themselves after receiving the information.
At this moment, on the cloud platform, a cold breeze blew and Xiao Chen stood at the side. He did not seem to fit in with the leaders of the four alliances, especially Childe Chu.
Childe Chu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching of the four. It was like the brightest star in the night sky. However, Xiao Chen did not have any status here. Even his name was fake.
After everything was prepared, everyone set off. Apart from Xiao Chen and the other five, there were also some other cultivators from the Four Alliances who also went forward this time.
Moreover, there were many cultivators from the four alliances stationed on Ghost Rock’s side. Because the Asura Demon Fiend was too strong and no one was able to break through the Asura Mist Realm, they had no choice but to retreat time and time again. The losses during this period were not small.
Therefore, the four alliances worked together this time, hoping to break through to Ghost Rock in one go. Otherwise, their morale would gradually decline, and their hearts would eventually fall apart. As a result, they would lose without a fight.
Ghost Rock was located in the northeastern direction of Mirage Sea and was also the border between Mirage Sea and the Asura. Because of its complex terrain, mountains, and ravines, it was easy to enter and exit, so it had always been called Ghost Rock since ancient times.
However, Ghost Rock was definitely not an ordinary canyon or a mountain peak. Instead, it was a very large area. It was not a short distance away from the center of Mirage Sea. If he used his sword, it would be ten days and a half months faster and two to three months slower. However, teleportation formations were built everywhere, so Xiao Chen and the others could arrive in about three days.
On the third day, Xiao Chen and his group had already arrived at Ghost Rock. They looked from afar, but when they saw the mountains overlapping, dark and miserable, broken grass withered, and the wind blew sadly, it was as if an indescribable desolation had appeared in the entire world.
This was the battlefield between Mirage Sea and the Asura. For thousands of years, countless bones had been buried beneath the rubble. There were cultivators from Mirage Sea and Asura warriors … Every day in the dark, one could often hear ghost cries coming from under the rubble.
The further he went, the more gloomy he felt. Xiao Chen and the other cultivators of the four alliances followed closely behind him. They were on guard to prevent the Asura from setting up an ambush here.
“This place is so heavy with Yin Qi, be careful …”
Ancient Ruoxue frowned slightly. She already had a snow-white immortal sword in her hand. As Chu Qingyu walked beside her, Genuine energy’s palm slightly condensed. He also appeared very cautious. Only the Western Alliance’s Dragon War did not seem to be afraid at all. He held a blood-colored Battle God Halberd in his hand, and his gaze was like a dragon. Even a god ghost would be afraid if he saw it.
The few of them were naturally brave and bold. They walked at the front, but the cultivators of the four alliances behind them felt their bones stand on end. The sky became darker and darker. It was as if there were Asura magical creatures hidden in invisible corners of the shadows beneath the pile of rocks. Sometimes, they would even be shocked if they saw wrong things in a blink of an eye.
“Dumb–dumb–”
Just as they were nervous, a strange harsh cry suddenly came from somewhere. Everyone turned their heads in horror and saw a dozen crows flying into the sky like arrows. There were actually a few rotting corpses beneath them.
“This …”
Everyone’s faces turned deathly pale from fear. It wasn’t that they were naturally timid. It was because they had suffered many defeats in this border area over the years and many people had died. They even watched as their fellow disciples were tainted by the Asura Devil Qi in the past and eventually turned into devil creatures that pounced towards them.
“Be careful.”
Chu Qingyu frowned slightly. As soon as she finished speaking, a “zheng” sound came out, and an immortal sword with extraordinary flowing light appeared.
Bai Yuhan looked into the distance and said, “Didn’t you say that they were all stationed here? Why is it not dark yet, but not a single person can be seen?”
“Perhaps it’s still ahead. Let’s go.”
Chu Qingyu condensed her immortal sword and opened the way. Xiao Chen was also on guard when he first arrived here. However, his divine sense was much sharper than the others here. When he arrived here just now, for a moment, it was unknown whether it was an illusion or something. The power of the earth veins here seemed to be slightly abnormal.
The group continued to move forward. When dusk fell, they arrived under the stone peaks. However, when they saw that the rugged and strange peaks were becoming even more dense in the dusk, at this moment, a strand of Spiritual Energy suddenly came from the front. Chu Qingyu said, “They are right in front.”
Everyone went inside. Sure enough, all the cultivators from the four alliances had gathered here, and there were quite a few of them. However, at this moment, they all looked a little dejected.
“Chu Childe, you’re here!”
At this moment, when she saw Chu Qingyu and the others arrive, a few old men with higher cultivation quickly walked up. Chu Qingyu looked at the people behind her and saw that they were somewhat dispirited. She asked with a frown, “Did you fight with the Asura before?”
“Alas!”
The old men sighed heavily and lowered their heads. After a while, one of them raised his head and said, “Those Asura Fiends are really too powerful. We lost a lot of people over there, so we had to evacuate a few days ago.”
“I see …”
Chu Qingyu focused her attention and looked at the people in the distance. She said, “It’s fine. Once we break through their Mist Realm, we will be able to attack like bamboo shoots all the way.”
Hearing this, many people behind them were refreshed. That’s right, Childe Chu had cultivated in Ling Xiao Peak for 60 years. Now that his Dao Art was profound, he naturally didn’t fear the demonic energy of these Asuras. He could even break through their Mist Realm. After breaking those demonic energy, wouldn’t it be easy for him to attack them again?
“Good … Good!”
The old men nodded their heads repeatedly. Only then did they notice Xiao Chen standing beside Chu Qingyu and the other two. An old man dressed in red asked with a frown, “This is …”
Chu Qingyu said, “This is Fellow Daoist Xuan Yue. Alliance Master Wang Ting sent him here. It is said that Fellow Daoist Xuan Yue has a special method to deal with the Asura.” At this point, he looked at Xiao Chen.
“Oh?”
Upon hearing that there was a special method to deal with the Asura, everyone in Shi Feng looked at him. The gazes of the old men were even brighter, and they landed on him motionlessly, “Little friend, is there any way to deal with these Asuras?”
At this moment, everyone held their breaths and stared at him. If there really was a good way to deal with the Asura, then it would be great.
At this moment, Xiao Chen remained silent. He looked at the numerous mountain shadows in the distance and asked indifferently, “How far is the Asura Mist Realm from here?”
