As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1326
Chapter 1326 Dead Gas Erosion
Three days passed without any movement in Butterfly Gathering valley. Xiao Chen stayed in this valley for the past three days and carefully observed the Returning Butterfly Formation outside. He found that there was indeed no way to open it. Since that was the case, he could only wait for Fairy Rain Butterfly to return.
However, three days had passed and Fairy Rain Butterfly had yet to return. The disciples did not know what had happened. They had only been discussing about Xiao Chen these past few days.
However, Fairy Shuiyue felt more and more uneasy. But now, she did not dare to rashly send spiritual messages to the other party. Once intercepted, it would be easier for her to reveal Fairy Rain Butterfly’s location.
Just like that, she waited anxiously until dusk fell. Finally, an aura came from outside the Immortal Dimension. Fairy Shuiyue naturally sensed it. It was Martial Uncle Yudie’s aura. Immediately, she activated her Wind Imperial Technique and headed towards the valley entrance.
“Martial Uncle!”
When they reached the valley entrance, Fairy Rain Butterfly finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fairy Shuiyue had returned. However, just as he was about to walk over, Fairy Rain Butterfly suddenly raised his hand and said, “Shui Yue, don’t come over!”
“What … Martial Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Fairy Shuiyue was stunned for a moment before she could clearly see that Martial Uncle Yudie’s face was slightly pale. Could it be that she was injured by that person? “Martial Uncle, that person …”
“Nothing much.”
Fairy Rain Butterfly shook his head. His expression did not seem to care much. He looked around the Immortal Realm and saw that the Returning Butterfly Formation had been activated. He asked, “Did you open the Returning Butterfly Formation?”
“Yes.”
Fairy Shuiyue frowned deeply and said, “I was afraid that that person would run away, so I asked someone to open the Returning Butterfly Formation and wait for Martial Uncle to return.”
“You’re doing great.”
As Fairy Rain Butterfly spoke, he went into the Butterfly Gathering valley Immortal Realm. As Fairy Shuiyue looked at her back, why did he always feel that Martial Uncle was a little strange? He didn’t even say a word …
“Shui Yue, what are you doing?”
Seeing that she was stunned behind him, Fairy Rain Butterfly stopped, turned his head slightly, and asked.
“Ah … No.” Only then did Fairy Shuiyue regain her senses and immediately followed.
Inside the Celestial Realm, Xiao Chen was meditating cross-legged in the valley. At this moment, he could sense Fairy Rain Butterfly’s aura. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the valley entrance. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he heard footsteps approaching from outside the valley. Xiao Chen was still sitting cross-legged under a large tree. He closed his eyes and ignored the footsteps outside.
The immortal spiritual energy in the Butterfly Realm was indeed very pure and dense. If it weren’t for the fact that he had something important to attend to, he wouldn’t mind cultivating here for eight to ten years. Perhaps, he would be able to step into the Saint Realm in one step.
“Xiao Yichen, are you inside?”
A moment later, the footsteps stopped, followed by Fairy Rain Butterfly’s voice.
Only then did Xiao Chen slowly open his eyes and casually say, “Three days ago, I was caught here by people from Fairy. I can’t break the formation outside. If I’m not in this valley, can I still be in Fairy’s dormitory?”
“You … you’re presumptuous!”
Hearing his frivolous words, Fairy Shuiyue’s scolding came from outside. Fairy Rain Butterfly raised his hand. “The situation in the Immortal Dimension is still as chaotic as before. You destroyed so many spiritual veins, and now there are many people who want to find you. You should be aware of your current situation. Right now, you should be at ease in my butterfly realm and wait until this storm is over. As for the remnant of the book, you can give it to me if you want to, but I won’t force you to.”
“Martial Uncle …”
When she heard that she didn’t want the Heavenly Book, Fairy Shuiyue was stunned for a moment. The remnant of the Heavenly Book was obtained with great difficulty. At that time, she didn’t know how many people had lost their lives because of it, and she had also been assassinated. Now that the Heavenly Book had fallen into this brat’s hands, how could she not return?
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore. You can stay here and cultivate. The butterfly realm is full of spiritual energy. I believe that with your cultivation method, cultivating here for one day will be enough for three days outside.”
Fairy Rain Butterfly said indifferently. At the end of her sentence, she took Fairy Shuiyue into the distance.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do something in your butterfly realm if you lock me up here? I see that you have quite a few female disciples here.”
Xiao Chen’s voice came from the valley. Fairy Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and scolded, “You dare try!”
“Oh? Then why wouldn’t Xiao dare?”
Xiao Chen’s tone was still indifferent. At this moment, Fairy Rain Butterfly turned around and said to the valley, “If you feel that the entire Butterfly Realm is too big and only want to stay in this small valley, then you can come out and do something according to what you just said.”
Finally, there was no longer Xiao Chen’s voice inside. Fairy Shuiyue snorted and said, “Hmph, I don’t believe it. Martial Uncle has lived for over a thousand years, and even those High Immortals don’t dare to act rashly. He can’t cure a little fellow like you anymore.”
“Shui Yue, let’s go.”
Fairy Rain Butterfly was still graceful. She raised her hands slightly and her long sleeves floated in the wind. Fairy Shuiyue, on the other hand, looked more playful and snorted into the valley before following her out.
After a while, the two of them disappeared. Only then did Xiao Chen appear at the entrance of the valley. He stared in the direction the two of them had left. He thought to himself that Fairy Rain Butterfly’s path was above him. Unless he had Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod body, there was absolutely no way he could contend against him at this moment.
It seemed that if the other party didn’t let him leave, then he really wouldn’t be able to leave the butterfly realm.
“Huh?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have sensed something. He walked forward and came to where Fairy Rain Butterfly was standing. He actually discovered that there were a few flowers here that seemed to have withered …
“Death Qi …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed. Ordinary people might not be able to detect anything strange, but he possessed the power to control life and death. How could he not detect this trace of death energy?
“That’s why.”
At this moment, he had already thought of something. Fairy Rain Butterfly did not seem to be in trouble, but she must have been injured by that person and had been corroded by the other party’s death energy. It was just that she had forcefully suppressed the death energy by relying on her entire body’s cultivation and magic power. However, if this continued, it was still impossible.
What was strange was, how could there be such an evil person in the vast land of the Immortal Dimension? Who exactly was that person, why did he capture him, was he here for the Book of Heaven, or something else …
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not guess. His palm slightly condensed, causing the nearby flowers to regain their vitality.
That night, the moonlight was clear and bright like snow, as if it had covered the entire Butterfly Gathering valley Immortal Realm with a faint veil. Even at night, the butterfly realm was still filled with immortal charm.
In Fairy Rain Butterfly’s dormitory, the lights had already been extinguished. Only the faint moonlight landed in the room through the porch windows on both sides. At this moment, Fairy Rain Butterfly’s complexion was not as good as it had been during the day. It even looked very bad.
A layer of dense sweat had already condensed on her forehead, and her face was slightly pale. She wore only a thin little dress. At this moment, she was soaked in cold sweat and tightly clung to her body. Under the moonlight, she could see traces of black gas faintly appearing.
Indeed, as Xiao Chen had guessed, she had been corroded by that person’s death aura. If it was an ordinary person, she would have been unable to hold on for three days. However, she had forcefully suppressed this death aura with her height and profound cultivation. However, this was not a long-term plan.
And for the time being, it was not appropriate for her to let Shui Yue know about this matter, let alone let the disciples of Butterfly Gathering valley know, so as to avoid causing panic.
…
Seven days passed like this. During these seven days, Xiao Chen stayed in the valley and did not go anywhere. However, until today, there was nothing strange coming from Fairy Rain Butterfly. She thought to herself that her dao profession was really so high that she was actually able to eliminate that deathly aura?
It wasn’t until the afternoon that a sudden movement came from outside Butterfly Gathering valley. However, there were actually quite a few cultivators from the Immortal World gathered at the entrance of the valley.
However, looking at these people’s aggressive appearance, the leader was three old men with different images. They all looked very powerful. If it weren’t for the Returning Butterfly Formation, these people would probably have already intruded.
“Who are you waiting for! How dare you barge into Butterfly Gathering valley!”
Gu Zhongzhong went to several hundred disciples, but these few hundred disciples alone were unable to intimidate the people outside. The old man with white hair and a black wooden cane stroked his beard and said, “We don’t have any ill intentions, but we have something to do today. If you want to see Fairy Rain Butterfly, please open this formation!”
These people were aggressive. It was obvious that they had come with bad intentions. However, the disciples of Butterfly Gathering valley were also calm. After all, for so many years, no one had dared to intrude into Butterfly Gathering valley. There were vicious formations everywhere in the valley. Even if they intruded, they would not be able to get a good deal out of it.
One of the leading female disciples said coldly, “Your Excellency has been cultivating in seclusion in the valley recently. I apologize for not seeing any guests. I think you should come back another day if you need anything.”
At this moment, another person behind the old man said, “Since there is something wrong, why come back another day? Is it true that Fairy Rain Butterfly is not in this valley? Or is he injured and recovering from his injuries?”
“Your Excellency, what are you doing? How can you guess? I advise you, this is the Violet Palace Immortal Continent, not the Cloud Continent. Scram!”
The disciples of Butterfly Gathering valley naturally didn’t show any courtesy towards this group of Yunzhou xiuzhe who trespassed on their own accord. No matter how high their cultivation was, this Zifu Immortal Continent was above the Jade Lake of Kunlun and in Empress. It wasn’t a place where people below Yun Zhongjun could act wildly at will.
“You little bitches are harboring felons from the Immortal Dimension. I think you won’t shed tears until you see the coffins!”
Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed towards Butterfly Gathering valley from outside. At this moment, a cold female voice came from the valley, “Noisy!”
“Master Shuiyue!”
Seeing that it was Fairy Shuiyue, the disciples immediately retreated to the two sides. Fairy Shuiyue was dressed in a white robe and floated lightly at the entrance of the valley. Her expression was cold and indifferent. She said to the people outside, “Don’t tell me everyone, what kind of noble status my Martial Uncle possesses? You can see him as you wish? Don’t be so rude if you dare to make a ruckus in the butterfly realm again!”
Fairy Rain Butterfly was originally not from the Immortal Dimension. Six hundred years ago, Empress had bestowed her with immortal records and ordered her to guard Butterfly Gathering valley for a thousand years. If it was a Valley Master Butterfly Gathering valley, it might not be much, but if Empress had personally chosen her here, it would be different.
The people here clearly knew Fairy Rain Butterfly’s identity. Moreover, Fairy Rain Butterfly’s strength was not weak. In addition, there were formidable formations in the valley. Normally, these people wouldn’t dare to rashly invade, but for some reason, they seemed to be fearless today.
