As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1257
Chapter 1257 Land Of Ghost Cry
At this moment, no one dared to act recklessly in the entire square. Shangguan Hong also slowly calmed down. However, how could he be so calm when his daughter fell into the hands of others? “I am has never been an enemy of Young Hero Xiao. Why did Young Hero Xiao capture this little girl today?”
Xiao Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, “Shangguan Alliance Leader did not become enemies with I am, but he laid down countless experts in the city. Could it be that you want to become enemies with Wang Ting Alliance Leader?”
“You …”
Hearing what he said, Shangguan Hong raised her hand, but she couldn’t refute it. When others heard that he had married a woman today, they had secretly arranged countless people outside. Who were they trying to deal with? You can’t really deal with Wang Ting, can you? There’s no reason for that.
“Alright, when Xiao is safe, she will naturally be released. After all, there are always times when Xiao will eat and sleep. It’s hard to guarantee that she won’t be ambushed. It’s not like Mirage Sea hasn’t seen the methods of your four Xiao Alliances before …”
Xiao Chen glanced at Shangguan Hong and said indifferently. When he arrived today, he knew exactly how many people had been placed outside. Wasn’t Shangguan Hong guarding against him by placing so many people outside?
If it weren’t for Di Gu intimidating everyone here today, Shangguan Hong would have already let those people rush in and beheaded him with the Chaotic Sword. Would he still be here to slowly talk to him?
Ignoring Shangguan Hong, Xiao Chen glanced at Shangguan Ruoxue again. “I am is not familiar with Mirage Sea’s road, so next, we can only grieve Miss Shangguan and lead the way for I am …”
“Ruo … Ruo Xue …”
Blood was still flowing out of Chu Qingyu’s mouth. From childhood until now, his body had been shrouded in the brilliance of the “proud son of heaven”, but today, he had suffered a miserable defeat.
Even the newly married Yan Er’s wife had fallen into the hands of the enemy. His father was also watching. There were so many experts in the clan who were unable to save them. If he could still hold a sword with both hands, then he could only wish for a single sword … to commit suicide!
Xiao Chen glanced at him and didn’t pay any attention. There was naturally a reason why Shangguan Ruoxue was kidnapped instead of Chu Qingyu.
Firstly, Chu Qingyu was badly injured. It was always troublesome to bring her with him. At the same time, he did not want to kill this person. After all, the Chu Clan still had an old monster. At least now, before he stepped into the Saint realm, he did not want to be pursued by a Three Realms expert.
Secondly, he had already planned the route to leave Mirage Sea long before he arrived. Of course, he could not go to the Asura Sea. The next place he was going to was the “Land of Ghost Cry” in the “Ten Bone Corrosion Lands”.
The Land of Ghost Cry was sparsely populated. It was not as prosperous as Mirage Sea, but it was not simple. Most importantly, there were only two places closest to Mirage Sea, the Land of Asura and the Land of Ghost Cry. Since they could not go to the Land of Asura, they could only temporarily visit the Land of Ghost Cry.
The Land of Ghost Cry was located north of Mirage Sea, so he could only evacuate from the Northern Alliance. Since he was evacuating from the Northern Alliance, it would be better to hold Shangguan Ruoxue hostage than anyone else.
Although he had intimidated everyone with Di Gu today, he couldn’t use Di Gu every time, let alone sacrificing his sword with blood. Therefore, leaving Mirage Sea as soon as possible was the best plan.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen took Shangguan Ruoxue hostage and walked out step by step. No one in the Four Alliances Temple dared to stop him, only Shangguan Hong chased after him.
“If Alliance Master Shangguan takes another step forward, I can’t guarantee that your daughter will be devoured by the Ghost Heaven Curse …”
Xiao Chen stopped and said indifferently.
Upon hearing the words “Ghost Heaven Curse”, Shangguan Hong’s entire body trembled. It wasn’t just him, the older generation present, but everyone who had some experience changed their expressions in an instant!
“Ghost Heaven Curse … You, you are from the Outer Heavens!”
Shangguan Hong’s expression suddenly changed. It turned out that the strange black gas that he had injected into his daughter’s body earlier was actually the Heavenly Ghost Curse of the Outer Heavens!
Upon hearing the Ghost Heaven Curse, Shangguan Ruoxue, who was originally calm, turned pale at this moment, and even her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
As for the Chu Clan, their expressions changed drastically. No wonder he was so good. It turned out that he was actually someone from the Outer Heavens!
Wasn’t the Heaven beyond Heaven completely cut off ten thousand years ago? Why did they come to the mortal world again? Could it be that the seal on the gap between the two worlds has loosened …
“Heaven beyond Heaven …”
In the distance, Wang Ting’s expression was also uncertain. Previously, he had been asking people to investigate Xiao Chen’s origins, but he couldn’t find anything. And just after hearing his name, he thought that it was Yu Ding from Venerable Lord Lustless. Now, how could it be related to the Outer Heavens 10,000 years ago? Who exactly is he …
“Everyone … take care of yourselves.”
Xiao Chen’s expression was indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone’s astonished gaze, he took Shangguan Ruoxue and walked out step by step.
Actually, what he had infiltrated into Shangguan Ruoxue’s body earlier was not the Ghost Heaven Curse. Instead, he had used the profound arts on the Heavenly Book Fragment to control life and death, using the power of life and death to seal the eight meridians of the other party’s strange meridians.
For the time being, it was called the “Seal of Life and Death.” This seal could only be undone by manipulating life and death. In other words, only he or Shen Cangming could undo it.
Just now, he purposely said that it was Heaven’s Beyond Heaven’s Ghost Heaven Curse. With such a blurry spear, the opponent could not distinguish between the real and the real, nor could he distinguish between the east and the west. This was not a bad thing. In any case, Heaven’s Beyond Heaven’s reputation was quite great. There was nothing wrong with using it to bluff others.
After all, for a moment, he didn’t know if it was an illusion or something. It was as if a wisp of divine sense had locked onto him from a very far distance. Even though it was only for a short moment, it was as if … it was warning him.
“Snow!”
Shangguan Hong still took a step forward, but she was also afraid of the “Ghost Heaven Curse” that Xiao Chen had just mentioned. She only said, “If you dare to hurt this little girl, even if you are from the Outer Heavens, I will definitely teach you that you will not be able to leave the Bone Corrosion Land with all my life’s effort!”
‘”Ruoxue” Chu Qingyu’s red clothes were stained with blood. He wanted to catch up, but Shangguan Hong immediately supported him and shook her head.
How could Shangguan Hong not want to save her daughter? But who could defeat the Di Gu Sword in Xiao Chen’s hand today? Unless it was those seniors from Ling Xiao Peak who descended the mountain, how could those seniors from Ling Xiao Peak descend the mountain for such a trivial matter?
In the eyes of the Four Alliances, what happened today was a major matter. However, in the eyes of Ling Xiao Feng and the others, this matter was not worth mentioning at all. It was impossible for them to take action for this matter.
After Xiao Chen left with Shangguan Ruoxue for a long time, the cultivators in the city gradually regained their senses. Recalling the scene just now, it was still as if they were dreaming. Was that person really someone from the Outer Heavens? Was the cultivation of a person from Heaven’s Beyond so terrifying?
In the end, no one here knew how powerful Heaven’s Beyond Heaven was. After all, that was ten thousand years ago. However, according to some ancient records, the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven back then was truly terrifying. It almost invaded the entire human cultivation world.
Therefore, whoever knew about the Heavens beyond Heaven would definitely change their expressions when they mentioned it.
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen was already in the Northern Alliance’s territory. The Northern Alliance’s territory was endless. Back then, he had gone to the Undying Sea through a teleportation array. Now, it was evident that he could no longer use the teleportation array. He wanted to go to the Land of Ghost Cry, much farther than to the Undying Sea.
The summer of June had just passed, and the weather was still very hot. Because he had avoided being detected by the divine sense of some old monsters these days, Xiao Chen did not dare to easily use his sword. Although he had taken Shangguan Ruoxue hostage, he still had to be careless if he wanted to leave Mirage Sea smoothly.
“I’m tired! I’m thirsty!”
While the two of them were walking in the mountains, Shangguan Ruoxue suddenly stopped. However, looking at her slightly knitted eyebrows and resentful eyes, it seemed that she was extremely dissatisfied with falling from the Northern Alliance’s daughter to a prisoner these past few days.
Xiao Chen turned around and glanced at her. “Miss Shangguan is now a hostage to me. Don’t forget your identity,” he said indifferently.
Shangguan Ruoxue said angrily, “So what if the hostage is? Can’t the hostage be tired or thirsty? Do you want me to be the same as you in an instant?”
Xiao Chen looked at her and saw that her face was covered in sweat. For some reason, it was getting hotter and hotter these days, and she wore a thick red dress and was stained with blood. Perhaps it was a little difficult for her, who used to be ice-clear and jade-clean.
In the end, it was only her father secretly colluding with the Chu Clan, and everything had nothing to do with her.
“There’s a stream ahead. Go change your clothes.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out a set of his own clothes from his sleeve. Shangguan Ruoxue glared at him gently, “There’s no need for you. I have my own clothes.” As he spoke, he walked towards the place where the sound of flowing water came from. Although he had sealed most of his skills, it wasn’t difficult to take something out of his sleeve.
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “I advise you not to think of any tricks. I am the only one in the world who can undo this Ghost Heaven Curse. If you want to forcefully break the seal, don’t blame me if you die.”
These words were not alarmist words. Only those who could control life and death would be able to undo this life and death seal. If others were to undo it, if they accidentally affected the “Death Vein”, their lives would definitely be in danger.
Shangguan Ruoxue turned around and said coldly, “If I die, you won’t be well.” After saying that, she ignored him and walked straight to the stream in front of her.
Xiao Chen watched her slowly walk away. Her words were not alarmist. Therefore, not only did he have to threaten her, he also had to protect her from any harm. After all, he did not want to be chased by Shangguan Hong with all the strength of the Northern Alliance.
A moment later, Xiao Chen also arrived under a tree. He closed his eyes cross-legged and meditated. After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Ruoxue did not return. He slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he vaguely sensed a strand of Saint realm aura, and the cultivator’s cultivation was not low.
Feeling that aura getting closer and closer, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. Now, it was difficult for him to use Di Gu again. If he was a cultivator of the same realm, he could still contend against it, but if he was a cultivator of the second realm, it would probably be a bit difficult.
“Why aren’t you back yet?”
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows and glanced in the direction of the stream. At this moment, he couldn’t care less. He moved his body and went that way.
…
Regarding the mistakes in the previous chapter, I would like to thank my fellow readers, “Cat Raising Girl” and “Mo Qiu Goodbye Wind Eve”, for suggesting that Shangguan Ruoxue should be dressed in red, not flawless white. I am very sorry that such a careless mistake would occur. In the future, Gu Yi will definitely be careful in his creation to avoid making similar mistakes again!
