As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1245
Chapter 1245 Assassination
Xiao Chen arrived at an uninhabited green cliff and a gust of cold wind blew towards him, causing his heart to feel even more chaotic.
At this moment, a voice that he had heard before suddenly sounded in his mind, “If it is a long life made of the blood of the people on the ground, then it’s fine if you don’t want this long life …”
Even Yun Sect of Old man Zi Yi knew about it back then. But now, in order to get a spot in Ancient Immortal Realm, even if he hadn’t killed a single person, wouldn’t those people have died at his hands?
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at Shanqing in the distance. He still remembered that Wei Yang once said that her favorite thing was this world. She liked every flower and tree …
Mirage Sea and the Asura had nothing to do with him, but there were so many Asura people who died because of him. Even if he obtained the rain dew of the Immortal Dimension in the future, what would happen if Wei Yang found out?
Forget it, forget it …
Xiao Chen didn’t want to think about this matter anymore. He only needed to wait for this time to obtain Mirage Sea Liu-Li and the quota to go to Ancient Immortal Realm. All of this had nothing to do with him.
…
The Asura Sea was opposite Mirage Sea. Although the area was vast, or even much larger than Mirage Sea, many places lacked spiritual energy and the environment was extremely harsh. What was even more terrifying was that there were some unknown dangers hidden in the ancient times, and there were even some cracks in the void. Therefore, even the strong Asura Clan was not suitable for living in some places.
Therefore, the Asura Land was also one of the more dangerous places in the Bone Corrosion Ten Lands. It was not as prosperous as Mirage Sea, where countless cultivators gathered.
Even so, the Asura Race was extremely tenacious. Moreover, over the past ten million years, the Asura Race’s experts were not inferior to Mirage Sea’s. They lived in the Asura Land all year round. As time passed, the Asura Race was able to condense Asura Qi and even summon Asura magical creatures. That was why the Asura Race was regarded as a demon and an outsider.
However, the ancestors of the Asura Race were not demons. They were also ordinary mortals. They had only taken root in the harsh environment of the Asura Land. Over the past ten thousand years, they had gradually evolved abilities that cultivators in other places did not possess, such as condensing Asura Demon Fiends and summoning Asura Demon Spirits.
At this time in the Asura Sea, due to this tragic defeat, the morale of the entire Asura Clan was also somewhat low.
In the palace, although Asura King was angry about this, he was even more worried. In the past, there was a fog concealment world that prevented cultivators from entering Mirage Sea. But now, there was a mysterious person in Mirage Sea who could break through their fog concealment world. If the fog concealment world was also broken, the situation would be even worse.
It wasn’t just the Asura King who was worried about this, wasn’t this what everyone else was worried about now?
It was unknown when the next attack from the Mirage Sea Four Alliances would come, but one could imagine that the next attack would be the fiercest attack in thousands of years.
Although the Asura also had Saint realm experts guarding it, Mirage Sea’s advantage in numbers was too far away from them. It was almost ten times more than them, or even more than that.
From the looks of it, if the Misty Hidden Realm elsewhere were to be broken one by one, then the last barrier left by the Asura would be the Undying Sea.
The Undying Sea was located in the eastern part of the Asura Sea. There was an Asura Array inside, and at the center of the array was an Asura’s Heart.
With the Asura Grand Formation and the Asura’s Heart, they could still be used as final defenses. If the Mirage Sea Four Alliances really attacked ferociously, the Asura King would be able to open this formation and completely seal the passageways between the two places.
However, if he did so, he would directly consume nearly half of Spiritual Bloodline Force in the Land of Asura. Although the Asura Formation was powerful, it would still require an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy to support it. Therefore, before he could do anything, Asura Wang Ning could fight the four alliances to the end and would not easily activate the formation.
At this moment, in a palace, Yanyue Wuqing suddenly stood up and said, “I’ll go kill him!”
“Princess … this person’s cultivation is extremely high, you can’t act rashly!”
The two guards hurriedly stopped her. Although they knew that as long as this person was removed, there would be no threat of the Misty Hidden Realm being destroyed. However, not only was this person’s cultivation extremely high, but Wang Ting would definitely send a large number of experts to protect this person. How could it be so easy to assassinate him?
“Then what should we do? Should we let him destroy the Mist Hidden Realm elsewhere as well?”
Yanyue Wuqing clenched his fingers tightly. At this moment, an old man dressed in Zi Yi and with white hair suddenly walked in. “Although this person can break through our Asura Mist Realm, he is heartless. You must not act rashly. This matter needs to be considered for a long time …”
“Master, you … why did you come out?”
…
After ten days, Xiao Chen had already returned to the Merlin Garden in Zhaoyue City. And these days, he was always depressed. He simply stayed in Merlin and didn’t go anywhere.
He had also sent the sixteen maids back to the Immortal Palace. Previously, he did not know the truth about the Four Mirage Sea Alliances. But now, it seemed that the alliance masters of the Four Mirage Sea Alliances were all very thoughtful. It was hard to guarantee that the sixteen maids were not sent by Wang Ting to secretly monitor him.
Therefore, these days, only Wang Yunmeng would come to visit him from time to time. Wang Ting did not feel any disgust towards this daughter of Xiao Chen. This woman was simple-minded and did not have the sophistication of her father.
On this day, Xiao Chen had just come out of the pavilion when Wang Yunmeng came back with a painting in her hand. She smiled and said, “Childe, can you help me take a look at this painting? Daddy is usually too busy to show it to him. He doesn’t want to see it either …”
“Alright.”
In any case, Xiao Chen was idle as well. He spread out the painting scroll on the stone table. The ink on the scroll was elegant and the handwriting was clear. The painting was a simple scene in the mortal world.
Although he did not have a deep understanding of calligraphy and painting, it could be seen from this painting that Wang Yunmeng’s attainments in calligraphy and painting were extremely high.
“What did Childe … see?” Wang Yunmeng raised her head and asked softly.
Xiao Chen looked at the scenery in the painting and remained silent. Wasn’t this the world that Wei Yang liked? Slowly said: “Juanjuan group of pine, there are ripples. Qingxue Ding, across the river fishing boats. People like jade, Bu Fu search for seclusion. Load and stop, sky blue. God out of Gu Yi, light can not be retracted. Like the moon of the morning, like the autumn of Qi.” Note ①
Hearing him speak slowly, Wang Yunmeng couldn’t help but be stunned. After a while, when Xiao Chen raised his head, she came back to her senses.
“Is this painting by a girl?”
“No, no, no …”
Wang Yunmeng hurriedly shook her hand and said, “This painting was painted by a nameless senior a long time ago. I just didn’t mean to get it …”
“That’s why.”
For some reason, looking at the painting, Xiao Chen suddenly sighed softly. Wang Yun dreamed of him sighing and asked, “Why is Childe sighing?”
Xiao Chen said, “If this world were to be like this painting, there would be no chaos, no disputes …”
Hearing him say this, Wang Yunmeng was even more stunned. “So Childe also likes this kind of person …” she asked blankly.
Xiao Chen looked at the scenery in the painting and said quietly, “She likes it.”
“She …”
Wang Yunmeng was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to come back to her senses. She pointed at the scene in the painting and said, “Childe, how about you take a closer look at this place?”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked down. However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed a trace of killing intent. He raised his head and saw Wang Yunmeng take off her hairpin and stab it towards his neck like lightning.
This hairpin obviously contained magic power and was extremely powerful. However, Xiao Chen’s spiritual sense was extremely sharp. In that instant, he grabbed her wrist and coldly said, “Who are you?”
“Uh …”
Wang Yunmeng was grabbed by his wrist and immediately let out a muffled snort. Her face turned pale and she turned back to her original appearance. It turned out that she was not Wang Yunmeng, but Asura Princess Yanyue Wuqing.
“So it’s you …”
Xiao Chen looked at the gorgeous woman in front of him. The Asura Race was proficient in illusion techniques, but he didn’t notice it just now … It was just that this Asura Princess was quite courageous. She actually dared to sneak into Zhao Yue City to assassinate him alone.
“That’s right … it’s me!”
Yanyue Wuqing looked at him resentfully, “Today, I am here to kill you!”
“I can tell.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent as he pushed his finger back and grabbed the hairpin in her hand. With a “whoosh” sound, he shot it onto the vermilion bar behind him and said indifferently, “But your ability is still a bit lacking.”
Yanyue Wuqing gritted his teeth at him and said hatefully, “Since I have been captured by you, then kill me! Don’t expect me to beg for mercy from you!”
“I won’t kill you. You can leave.” Xiao Chen let go of her hand, put his hands behind his back, and stared at her motionlessly.
“But I’m here to kill you!”
Yanyue Wuqing was still looking at him with hatred, biting his lips tightly, but unfortunately, he was unable to beat him.
“I know, but it’s not too late to kill me when your cultivation is higher in the future.”
“You …”
Yanyue Wuqing squeezed her finger. At this moment, an aura suddenly came from the sky. Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. At this moment, he rolled up his sleeve and sent her into the attic behind him with a gentle force.
