As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1328
Chapter 1328 Backlash
“Boom!”
A loud explosion rang out, and Fairy Rain Butterfly’s palm swept away, as if a thousand layers of waves had appeared on the ground, sending the three old men flying.
This attack was quite powerful. If it wasn’t for the fact that Fairy Rain Butterfly still had some leeway to attack, most of the three of them would have been seriously injured by now.
“Master!”
Seeing this, the disciples behind hurriedly rushed forward to support their respective masters. However, the three old men waved their hands and ordered them to retreat.
Old man Qingyi looked at Fairy Rain Butterfly who was still in the distance. He naturally knew that it was Fairy Rain Butterfly who had shown mercy. Otherwise, it was hard to say if the three of them would still be able to stand here properly.
“Fairy Rain Butterfly once obtained the true legacy of the former Lord of Butterfly Gathering valley. As expected, his reputation is well-deserved …”
It was unknown whether the three of them were convinced or unconvinced by their words at this moment, but no matter what, the three of them had already lost the battle. If they continued to tangle with each other, their faces would also lose their luster.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone came here aggressively today and could only return resentfully. Even the three old men were no match for Fairy Rain Butterfly, let alone the others.
“Martial Uncle, they’re gone …”
At this time, Fairy Shuiyue walked up and looked in the direction of the group of people. Then, she said to the disciples behind her, “Go out and see if there are any other people nearby …”
“No need.”
Fairy Rain Butterfly raised his hand. His gaze was still fixed on the direction where the group of people had left. He said, “In a short period of time, they shouldn’t be coming back. Let’s go back first.”
“Martial Uncle …”
Fairy Shuiyue looked at her. For some reason, her heart was still in a state of turmoil. Today, these people were coming aggressively. Who knew if there would be even more powerful people in the future?
Moreover, she always had a feeling that after Martial Uncle Yudie returned that day, he seemed to have always been strange. Was he really alright?
…
Three days had passed just like that. Because of what happened that day, the security of Butterfly Gathering valley had become even more stringent. Even outside Butterfly, many disciples had been sent to guard it.
However, Xiao Chen still hadn’t come out of the valley these past few days. Counting the days, he had already been in Butterfly Gathering valley for ten days. He didn’t know what the situation was like outside. Perhaps it was just as Fairy Rain Butterfly had said. There were many people outside who wanted to capture him now.
However, he could also feel that the spiritual energy in the entire Immortal Dimension had become more and more abundant. It must be the result of the destruction of Tongtian Valley’s spiritual impulse.
Actually, the spirit veins of the Ancient Immortal Realm were already like a tall building that was on the verge of collapse. However, this time, he just happened to add some strength.
Right now, the spiritual energy outside was getting more and more abundant. Presumably not long after, it would condense into the true Rain Dew of the Immortal Dimension. As for the appearance of this Rain Dew of the Immortal Dimension and where it would appear, he did not know all of this. However, he knew that if he were trapped here again, he might miss out on this good opportunity.
Ordinary immortal realm raindrops would only condense once every hundred years. This time, the 10,000-year-old immortal realm raindrops that could save Wei Yang would only appear once every few thousand years or even tens of thousands of years. Once they were missed, they would never appear again.
“No, I have to think of a way to get out …”
Beneath the Valley Tree, Xiao Chen frowned deeply. Even if he knew that it was very dangerous outside, or that Fairy Rain Butterfly had “locked” him up here, in a sense, it might really have protected him.
However, he did not want this kind of protection. If this kind of protection would make him miss out on this once every 10,000 years opportunity, then no matter what, he had to think of a way to get out.
…
This night was the 15th of August. The sky was as bright as day, illuminating the entire Ancient Immortal Realm. The moonlight was like water. It seemed that it had not changed for thousands of years. It must be the same in the human world.
“Today, we don’t see the Ancient Moon. This month once shone on the Ancient One. The Ancient One is like flowing water, looking at the bright moon together …”
On the cliff, Xiao Chen stood on the moon, staring at Hao Hao Moon in the sky. At this moment, his heart suddenly filled with emotions. If it was ten thousand years later, when everything had changed, only tonight’s month would not have changed, right?
What about ten thousand years ago …
Was the moonlight from ten thousand years ago the same? It reflected the boundless Immortal Dimension, the vast homeland of the human world.
“Uh …”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a burst of dizziness in his mind. His ears were blurry, as if a faint voice had sounded again.
The voice that seemed to have come from 10,000 years ago said, “I’m at the top of Kunlun, waiting for you for 10,000 years …”
“Who? Who’s talking …”
When he woke up, there was only the sound of the wind blowing by his ears. Could it be that everything was just an illusion, that he was hallucinating again?
After a long time, the surroundings fell silent again, as if even the wind had stopped. At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly had an enlightenment in his heart. He immediately sat down cross-legged. On this cliff, Genuine energy flowed smoothly, as if the moonlight was pure and flawless.
At this instant, he seemed to have comprehended another kind of strong person’s artistic conception, one that came from ten thousand years ago.
…
It wasn’t until midnight that Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the true energy on his body condensed, and his cultivation seemed to have deepened a little.
Although only a short moment had passed, it was as if countless years had passed on this cliff. Just like the time when he passed by the peak of the East China Sea and touched the Black Tortoise Stone, tens of thousands of years had passed in a hurry.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a strange aura, and this aura seemed to be coming from Fairy Rain Butterfly.
“As expected …”
This was a trace of death aura that was hard for ordinary people to detect, but he would never feel wrong.
It seemed as he had guessed two days ago, Fairy Rain Butterfly had only temporarily suppressed the death energy, not completely eliminating it. Three days ago, when she went out to deal with the three old men, the corrosion of the death energy had obviously worsened.
At this time, in the Immortal Palace in Fairy Rain Butterfly, Moon was like water, falling all the way down the stairs. However, there was not a single disciple in the palace. It turned out that she had already instructed all the disciples to leave.
“Martial Uncle …”
Fairy Shuiyue had always felt strange these past few days, so she secretly came over tonight. She thought to herself, in the past, Martial Uncle would never call out all of his disciples. He would at least leave a few disciples by his side. And these past few days, how could the entire palace be empty and not see a single person?
When she saw Fairy Rain Butterfly’s current appearance, she couldn’t help but be stunned. Under the moonlight, Fairy Shuiyue’s body had been corroded by cold sweat, and the strands of black gas were obviously heavier than that day.
“Shui Yue? What are you doing here …”
Fairy Rain Butterfly’s face was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, even speaking became very difficult. It was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress this death energy.
Fairy Shuiyue’s face immediately turned pale, and under the moonlight, it was even more obvious, “Martial Uncle … you, what’s going on! These are …”
“Shui Yue … don’t come over!”
Fairy Rain Butterfly knew that this aura of death was extremely powerful. Only Empress would have the means to eliminate it.
However, Shui Yue’s cultivation wasn’t enough. Once she was infected, she would undoubtedly die. Even she couldn’t be saved. That was why she had asked Shui Yue to keep a distance from her when she returned that day. In the past few days, she had even called out all the disciples in the palace.
“Martial Uncle, how could this be … It was that day, that person …”
Thinking back to the strange and mysterious person who appeared in the thick fog that day, Fairy Shuiyue’s expression suddenly turned even paler.
“That person’s methods are indeed very strange. That day, I fought against him …”
At this point, Fairy Rain Butterfly shook his head and said with a pale face, “I don’t know where this person came from, nor can I guess his identity.”
“How could this be” Fairy Shuiyue’s face was deathly pale and her body trembled slightly. As she spoke, she continued to walk into the palace.
“Shui Yue … don’t come near me!”
Fairy Rain Butterfly warned again. It didn’t sound like he was joking. Fairy Shuiyue was stunned for a moment. He immediately stopped and whispered, “Then what should we do now?”
Fairy Rain Butterfly shook his head and said softly, “This is a deathly aura. With my cultivation, I can only temporarily suppress it, but I don’t know how much longer I can last.”
“Death Qi …”
Fairy Shuiyue’s body trembled slightly. Looking outside, she noticed that the flowers, plants, and trees around the palace seemed to have withered. The butterfly realm was abundant in spiritual energy, and the flowers and plants were unfailing all year round. How could they suddenly wither?
Fairy Rain Butterfly said, “We must not let anyone know about this. Otherwise, there will definitely be great trouble. Three days ago, that was only the first batch of people. Soon, another batch of people will appear …”
“There will be a second batch of people …”
Hearing this, Fairy Shuiyue’s entire body trembled. Someone else would come …
Three days ago, in order to deal with those people, Martial Uncle had already expended a lot of mana. He forcefully suppressed the death energy so that those people wouldn’t see it. However, this caused the death energy backlash to become even more severe. If more powerful people appeared next, what would happen then?
Thinking of this, Fairy Shuiyue trembled slightly and whispered, “Martial Uncle … I … I don’t quite understand why we must leave that person in the valley. If we hand him over …”
Before she could finish speaking, Fairy Rain Butterfly shook his head and interrupted, “Shui Yue, there are some things you don’t understand now that I can’t tell you.”
“You can’t tell me, can you …”
Fairy Shuiyue’s entire body trembled again, and his face seemed to have turned even paler. At this moment, he remained motionless and looked at Fairy Rain Butterfly with astonished eyes. “Could it be … could it be Empress’s intention?”
Fairy Rain Butterfly closed his eyes and didn’t say anything else. Fairy Shuiyue hurriedly asked, “Martial Uncle, is it really …”
“Shui Yue, you can go down.”
“But …”
Fairy Shuiyue still had a nervous expression on her face. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, “But Martial Uncle, what about the death aura on your body? Can you go to Kunlun and invite the Great Empress …”
Fairy Rain Butterfly shook his head and said, “Empress is still comprehending the profound arts and is unable to come out. Besides, it is inappropriate for me to take any action now. The journey to Kunlun is far away, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get up. By then, I will probably have already died and devoured my heart …”
“Death Qi devours the heart … Then … what should I do …”
Fairy Shuiyue’s face was pale, and a layer of dense sweat condensed on her forehead. The two of them did not speak anymore. The entire palace was extremely quiet. Only the water-like moonlight outside the window quietly shone in.
Right at this moment, Fairy Rain Butterfly suddenly opened his eyes. His voice seemed to have turned a little cold. He looked out the window and said, “Kid, come out.”
Fairy Shuiyue immediately woke up. Someone came? Why didn’t she notice? This is Martial Uncle’s Immortal Palace. Without Martial Uncle’s permission, who would dare to easily enter?
At this time, Xiao Chen’s voice finally came from outside the window. “I have a way to clear Fairy’s body of death energy.”
