As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1274
Chapter 1274 Modong City
The next day, the two of them arrived at a sandstorm city. They saw that the buildings in the city were low and were not as prosperous as the Mirage Sea. However, there were still quite a few cultivators gathered in the city.
On the sandy streets, there were also some blacksmiths. However, these blacksmiths were extraordinary blacksmiths in the world. The “blacksmiths” inside were actually very powerful blacksmiths.
The so-called Weaponry Master was a group of talented warriors who could transform ordinary iron into divine weapons. At this moment, Xiao Chen and Yanyue Wuqing arrived in front of a blacksmith shop. In order to avoid attracting attention, the two of them were naturally dressed in black robes before entering the city.
“Shopkeeper, do you know how to get to Modong City?”
Xiao Chen asked the muscular artificer. However, the other party did not seem to have heard him and did not pay any attention to him.
Seeing this person ignoring him, Yanyue Wuqing frowned slightly. “Do you know how to get to Modong City?”
Unexpectedly, the blacksmith still seemed to not hear him. He was doing what he was doing. Xiao Chen looked around. It seemed that the people in this city were a little cold. He turned around and asked again, “Shopkeeper, may I ask where this place is?”
This time, the artificer finally raised his head and looked at the two casually. He said coldly, “You don’t even know where this place is. You should come in. Let’s go.”
“You …”
Yanyue Wuqing knitted his eyebrows and asked, “Hey, why are you speaking so strangely? If you don’t say anything, then you know. If you don’t know, then you don’t know. It’s fine.”
The artificer didn’t look at her and said coldly, “Regardless of whether I know or not, you two still don’t seem to know where this is. If you don’t want to die, don’t ask where Modong City is anymore. It’s not for the two of you, you can ask.”
“You!”
Seeing that he had underestimated the two of them, Yanyue Wuqing was about to explode when Xiao Chen reached out to press her shoulder.
At this moment, dozens of cold auras suddenly approached from the surroundings. A lot of people walked over. However, looking at those people, they were all fierce and fierce. They didn’t look like they were any good people.
“What? Someone came to Black Wind City to cause trouble? Interesting. Brothers, come and take a look. Someone came to Black Wind City to look for something …”
As he spoke, more and more people gathered in the surroundings. Among these people, there were some people with powerful cultivations, and most of them were desperate desperados. They were definitely not something that some cultivators in Mirage Sea could compare to.
“You …”
Seeing these people approaching, Yanyue Wuqing became alert. However, at this moment, a gust of wind and sand blew down the battle robe hat on her head.
That stunning appearance was like Moon after the dark clouds dispersed. It was suffocating to the point of being beautiful. After a long while, the surrounding people regained their senses.
“Haha! So she’s actually such a beautiful little lady. She dares to come to Black Wind City. It seems that her ability is not small. Brothers, blessed, haha …”
Everyone in the surroundings instantly approached, with a sinister smile on their faces, and their gazes were constantly looking at Yanyue Wuqing.
The blacksmith’s face was still cold and indifferent as he said, “I told you two to leave just now. If you want to leave now, you probably won’t be able to leave.”
“Zheng!”
Seeing these people’s unfriendly expressions, Yanyue Wuqing took out her Asura Blade. However, Xiao Chen still pressed her arm. At the same time, the aura of the Undying Concept instantly enveloped those people as they approached. It was as if everything had instantly frozen. Even the wild sand in the wind seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be unable to breathe. Under the envelopment of this icy state of consciousness, it was as if they had instantly fallen into the world of ice and snow. A chill spread from head to toe, causing them to stand where they were and not dare to move.
At this moment, the blacksmith in the forging shop suddenly stopped moving. What a powerful state of mind and divine sense. Could it be that this person …
At this moment, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him. “Now, can you tell me how to get to Modong City?” He asked again.
The artificer slowly regained his senses. He put down the item in his hand and said, “Go north. If you’re looking for someone, ask. If you’re fast, you’ll arrive in about a month. However, I still have to remind you that even if you continue to hide yourself and go to Modong City, you may not be able to come out again. As for whether you can go to Modong City alive or not …”
“Hmph, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Yanyue Wuqing snorted and put away the Asura Blade in his hand. He pulled on Xiao Chen’s sleeve and said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them immediately left the blacksmith shop and walked out. The people around them seemed to be petrified as they watched the two of them walk through the middle. None of them dared to step forward to stop them.
Only when Xiao Chen and Yanyue Wuqing were far away did the people nearby slowly regain their senses. One of them looked at the back of Xiao Chen and Yanyue Wuqing and snorted coldly, “No matter how capable this kid was, if he went to Modong City, he would most likely die.”
“Hey, you’re overthinking it. I’m afraid he won’t be able to reach Modong City and will die halfway.”
…
Outside Black Wind City, Yanyue Wuqing frowned. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “That person said that it would take a month to go to Modong City soon. What should we do? We only have one month. Even if we get to Modong City, we won’t be able to make it back in time.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen looked at the sandstorm in front of him and nodded. Seeing his calm expression, Yanyue Wuqing couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. He thought to himself, “He was so anxious before, but now …”
Only then did Xiao Chen turn around and look at her. “The man said it would take a month,” he said. “It’s not that Modong City is far from here.”
“What’s that?”
Yanyue Wuqing had a puzzled expression on his face. Xiao Chen turned his gaze away from her and looked at the sandstorm ahead. He said, “There are likely to be some obstacles ahead.”
“Obstruct …”
Hearing what he said, Yanyue Wuqing finally understood. He recalled the expressions of those people and the last words of the blacksmith shop owner. Yes, this was a forbidden area. It was common for people to kill and seize treasures. There must be someone blocking the way.
“Let’s go. Let’s look ahead first.”
…
The next day, the two of them arrived at a place called the “Black Wood Ridge”. Sure enough, they met a group of people blocking their way. However, these people were just a mob. They were beaten away in two or three strikes.
However, there were even more powerful forces behind them. Xiao Chen could only “pass through the trials and kill the generals”. Until the fifth day, almost everyone in the vicinity knew that there was such a person who wanted to go to Modong City. On the way, he would meet a god to kill a god, or a buddha to kill a buddha. No one could stop him.
However, there was still one last place to go to Modong City. It was called Phaseless Purgatory. From Xiao Chen’s current location, one had to go through Phaseless Purgatory to go to Modong City. Otherwise, one would have to take a long detour. As for how long it would take, it was hard to say.
As for the owner of Phaseless Purgatory, he was known as “Childe Ling.” This person’s cultivation was extremely high, and he had an extremely powerful magic treasure in his hand. Even those who entered the Sage realm would be afraid of it.
Yesterday, when Childe Ling heard that Xiao Chen was coming this way, he had been guarding the Phaseless Purgatory. He wanted to see just how powerful this person who met a god to kill a god, met a buddha to kill a buddha was.
“That person is probably less than a hundred miles away from Purgatory. Childe, look …”
“Then wait for him to come.”
At this moment, on the top of a tower, there was an ice-cold man dressed in red sitting there. However, when he looked at this man’s sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were extremely cold and fierce. There was indeed an unfathomable aura on his body. It was definitely not something a person like Chu Qingyu could compare to.
About an incense stick later, the clouds in the sky surged and two figures suddenly appeared. It was none other than Xiao Chen and Yanyue Wuqing.
“Just in time!” Childe Ling’s eyes were cold as he slapped his palm. A hundred zhang red sword suddenly flew out from a lava volcano below.
However, seeing that the red sword was burned red by the lava, it suddenly flew towards Xiao Chen in the distance. Wherever it passed, even the void seemed to distort.
“Watch out!”
Seeing this blazing sword suddenly attack, Yanyue Wuqing was about to pull out his weapon when Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to protect her. At the same time, a green light flew out from his sleeve and blocked the incoming scarlet sword in the air with a “zheng” sound.
