As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1316
Chapter 1316 A Thousand Men Are No Match for a Thousand Men
In Tongtian Valley, everything seemed to be in order. Last night, Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er had sneaked into the secret realm, but not a single one of them had noticed. Even on the Medicine Refining Peak, the few Medicine Refining Elders were still rushing to refine the immortal medicines that Yun Zhongjun wanted.
Until this morning, there were two people outside the valley. One was a man and the other was a woman. The man was dressed in Qingyi and the woman was dressed in red. Both of them looked quite arrogant, and in the end, they claimed to be here to collect immortal medicines.
At this moment, the disciples at the entrance of the valley were shocked. Didn’t two people just come to collect immortal medicines a few days ago? Why are there two more here today, and these two look …
The disciples didn’t dare to make any arbitrary decisions, so they could only immediately send a message to the elders. After hearing this, the elders of Tongtian Valley were also shocked. After seeing the two people who came today with their own eyes, they finally understood what was going on and immediately thought that something was wrong.
“Shit …”
A few elders suddenly lost their wits, especially Xiao Chen, who had welcomed the two of them that day. His face was ashen as he hurriedly said to the disciple in front of him, “Where were those two people that day? Did you see them?”
The disciples panicked when they saw the elders, how could they remain calm? One of the disciples trembled and stammered, “Then, those two … it seems that they didn’t see them this morning …”
“What are those two people? Tell me exactly what happened.”
Yun Mengze’s expression was cold, even colder than that of Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er. The hearts of the elders of the Tongtian Valley Medicine Refining Peak trembled. Only then did Old man Qingyi tell the truth about what had happened that day.
After hearing this, both the Qingyi man and the red-clothed woman’s eyes narrowed as they muttered to themselves, “Someone is actually impersonating us …”
“Elder … Elder! Not good!”
Just at this moment, another disciple ran in panicking outside the hall. Old man Qingyi was shocked. He had a premonition that something was wrong. He quickly said, “What’s the matter? Speak!”
“Answer … Answer Elder!”
The disciple’s face was deathly pale, and he choked with anger. He swallowed his saliva forcefully and said, “Something happened at the secret realm … at the secret realm!”
“Mysterious realm … shit!”
Old man Qingyi felt the sky spin and his eyes darkened. He almost fainted and muttered to himself, “Why didn’t I think … why didn’t I think that the two of them would sneak into Tongtian Valley for … shit! Shit … hurry up and go to the secret realm!”
…
Within the secret realm, Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er could already feel the people quickly gathering outside, but their faces were extremely calm.
Xiao Meng’er said, “Looks like they’ve already discovered it.”
Just as he finished speaking, streaks of profound light suddenly shot into the sky from all directions outside the secret realm. A terrifying sealing force enveloped him, causing even Xiao Chen to feel suffocated.
“Looks like they’ve sealed off the entire Tongtian Valley.”
Looking at the approaching profound lights in the sky, Xiao Chen remained calm. The aura outside was getting closer and closer. Presumably, a large number of experts would rush into the secret realm soon. The two of them could not go anywhere in the secret realm.
At this moment, the two of them exchanged glances. Xiao Meng’er said, “You stay here, or I will stay here.”
“You can stay here. I’ll go outside and block them.”
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave. Xiao Meng’er suddenly stopped him and said, “Wait …”
“What’s the matter?”
Xiao Chen turned around and saw Xiao Meng’er’s slightly concerned gaze. After a while, she said, “Be careful.”
“You too.” Xiao Chen nodded his head gently. Without hesitation, he immediately turned into a streak of light and flew towards the entrance of the secret realm.
On the other hand, Xiao Meng’er held the Dust Heart Sword in her hand. Xiao Chen went outside to defend against Tongtian Valley’s experts. She wanted to stay here and cut off Spiritual Energy’s formation.
What the two of them wanted to do was very dangerous. Xiao Chen had to defend against so many experts. It was dangerous. She wanted to cut off the Spiritual Energy here. Once the formation collapsed and the Spiritual Energy rushed out, it would be equally dangerous.
However, for the sake of their own accomplishments, even if they knew that they couldn’t do anything, they would never take a step back.
Back then, Xiao Meng’er’s persistence was witnessed by Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen’s persistence was witnessed by Xiao Meng’er.
The two of them probably had their own obsessions in their hearts, so they were able to walk together.
…
Outside the secret realm, there were a large number of experts from Tongtian Valley rushing over. Right now, only the elders and elite disciples of the various peaks were here. In a moment, once the matter was so serious that the elders of the various peaks were unable to handle it, then the Twelve Peaks Peak Master should come out.
When the elders saw the two guards who had lost their five senses and six senses at the entrance of the secret realm, as well as the chaotic Spiritual Energy aura inside the secret realm, they were all shocked, “Indeed, I went into the secret realm …”
“Quickly … enter! Stop them!”
As soon as the elder gave the order, over a hundred elite disciples immediately rushed into the secret realm, while the elders gathered their True Qi outside to protect those disciples from the Spiritual Energy Storm inside.
However, before the disciples were able to charge in, a zither sound suddenly surged out from within, sending the hundreds of elite disciples flying.
“It’s him … It’s him!”
When they saw the white-haired figure walking out of the Spiritual Energy Storm and the seven-stringed jade zither in his hand, the elders of the various peaks were all shocked! What a powerful aura!
In the distance, the Qingyi man and woman in red from Yun Mengze also focused their gazes and stared at Xiao Chen motionlessly. This person …
Originally, the two of them thought that those who came to Tongtian Valley under the guise of their brother and sister would definitely be from the Immortal Dimension, but now, when they saw this person’s cultivation, especially the aura that looked like an abyss, and the jade zither in his hand …
As well as the profound arts on his body, he was actually able to withstand the Spiritual Energy storm in the secret realm. At this moment, even the two of them couldn’t help but feel a slight shock in their hearts.
“Sir … who exactly are you!”
Earlier, Old man Qingyi’s face was already filled with shock. Under the awe of Xiao Chen’s divine zither, his body couldn’t help but tremble. Not only him, but the other disciples were also trembling endlessly.
However, Xiao Chen did not say anything else. Instead, he slowly sat down cross-legged, placed the jade zither on his knees, and leisurely played the zither.
Waves of clear zither music resembled mountains and flowing waters. It was like a cold breeze from the Matsushita. The zither music was not lethal and even pleasant to listen to. However, everyone outside was stunned. He didn’t expect that he would be able to play the zither so calmly in such a tense situation. Isn’t he too …
Everyone was truly shocked. Who exactly was this person?
“Your Excellency, don’t be so arrogant!”
Suddenly, the faces of the two Elders dressed in Zi Yi darkened as they flew into the secret realm. However, as soon as they flew in, the strings of the Xiao Chen zither were plucked, and the zither’s rhythm remained calm. However, an invisible zither sound rang out towards the two of them.
“Bang!”
The two of them were shocked by the zither music and both flew backwards. Blood gushed out of their mouths.
“Elder!”
The disciples behind them were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly stepped forward to support the two elders. The others did not expect this person’s zither music to be so powerful!
“This zither sound …”
In the distance, Yun Mengze’s eyes also narrowed. Yun Zhongjun was also familiar with music. Naturally, they had seen Master play the zither. The zither skills of the person in front of them seemed particularly extraordinary, but who had passed them on?
“Capture this person!”
Even though the sound of the zither was quite powerful just now, it was still difficult to intimidate everyone in Tongtian Valley. With a single order, more people rushed into the secret realm, either using magic treasures or flying swords. For a time, Spiritual Energy surged in the vicinity of the secret realm!
Facing such a ferocious attack, Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm. However, the ancient music that was originally like the gentle breeze in the pine forest suddenly seemed to have transformed into a golden iron horse. Its tone suddenly rose, and its murderous intent reached him one layer at a time!
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
After several consecutive zither sounds, those Ancient Immortal Clan members who rushed into the secret realm were all sent flying backwards. Under Fuxi Zither, these people were simply unable to withstand a single blow.
There were many restrictions inside the secret realm, and it was extremely powerful. In addition, the surging Spiritual Energy was raging. Everyone was unable to enter from other places, so they could only enter through this entrance. However, Xiao Chen was guarding the entrance of the secret realm alone, and no one could enter from outside.
“Go!”
Soon, another person rushed forward one after another, but Xiao Chen was guarding this place by himself. The zither sound seemed to have turned into thousands of sharp sword lights, causing the flying swords that were attacking from all over the sky to retreat.
After attacking for about half an incense stick of time, the crowd was still unable to break through this place. Xiao Chen was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, leisurely playing the zither. He truly possessed an imposing aura that no one could defeat.
“I have no intention of harming your lives,” he said calmly. “If you know what you’re doing, you should retreat. If you still insist on going forward to probe, I won’t show any mercy.”
“Zheng!”
Another zither sound rang out. The sound was calm and unhurried, causing many people outside to feel their hearts tremble. And Xiao Chen had indeed not harmed anyone since just now. With his ability and Fuxi Zither’s divine power, it was as easy as killing the person who had rushed in just now.
However, he did not want to kill anyone here. In the end, this Ancient Immortal Clan was probably only ordered to guard this place for generations. They were isolated from the world and were not like those people in Immortal Monarch Ruthless.
The purpose of his visit this time was to break through the spiritual vein hinge of the Immortal Dimension, and not to start a massacre here. Of course, unless these people insisted on fighting for his life and death.
“Sir … who exactly is it!”
The twelve peak elders’ faces were already deathly pale, and cold sweat trickled down their backs. They never imagined that this person would be able to defend inside, yet so many people outside of them would actually be unable to attack. What exactly was the origin of this person? Seeing that he wasn’t old, when did such a talented young man come out of the Immortal Dimension?
“Boom!”
At this moment, a tremor suddenly came from the depths of the secret realm. At the same time, a surging Spiritual Energy rushed out. Everyone was even more shocked. It turned out that someone was destroying the formation inside!
