As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1367
Chapter 1367 Fear
“Big brother, outside, outside …”
Xian’er frowned and pointed outside the valley. She looked a little anxious. Xiao Chen gently stroked her cheek and said softly, “Xian’er, there’s no need to be afraid.”
At this time, Daoist Qingdeng swept his whisk and flew out. The spiritual energy of the Immortal Valley had already dissipated, so it was normal for him to draw people over.
Xian’er slowly calmed down. At this moment, she saw that the immortal devil mark no longer existed between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows.
This Immortal Devil Seal was not something that could appear at any moment. Only when Xiao Chen was extremely lucky, or if he deliberately displayed it, would it be possible for the Immortal Devil Seal to appear.
Now that his body had undergone the recondensation of heavenly tribulation, he was no longer the mortal body he used to be. He was already close to the immortal body of an immortal devil.
“Big brother, are you, are you alright …”
Xian’er frowned slightly and opened her large, watery eyes. Every time she thought of what she saw that day, she would still feel afraid.
“Of course.” Xiao Chen gently held her hand and walked towards the spring on the other side of the valley. “Xian’er, let’s go that way.”
“Oh …”
Xian’er turned around and looked in the direction of the valley entrance. She thought to herself that the Taoist wanted to harm her brother and herself, but now, for some reason, she seemed to be afraid of him again …
But big brother is still the same big brother …
‘”Is there a lot of people who are afraid of their big brothers?” She murmured.
Xiao Chen stopped and half squatted down. He gently stroked the hair on her cheek and said, “They just … don’t dare to face the fear in their hearts.”
“En …”
Xian’er thought for a long time, but she didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence. She muttered, “Big brother, do you have anything to be afraid of …”
“Something to be afraid of …”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He looked at Yun Dan Tian Qing in the distance. The thing he was most afraid of … What was the thing he was most afraid of? It was Wei Yang’s death, but he was powerless to do anything about it …
“Chen’er … attack … kill Master …”
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in his mind, seemingly illusory, but also real. Xiao Chen’s entire body instantly turned cold, as if he had fallen into an icy cold pool. A chill instantly swept through his entire body.
“Big brother, big brother … what’s wrong with you?”
After a long time, Xian’er arrived in front of him and waved her hand in front of him. Only then did he slowly regain his senses … Why did he see this terrifying scene again?
It was an illusion he had seen a long time ago when he, Luo Die, and Tomb of Gods and Demons were trapped in Tomb of Gods and Demons and accidentally entered the Domain of the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon.
In the illusion, his hands were stained with blood. It was exactly the same as a dream he had when he was a child. His hands were stained with blood. It turned out that it was Master’s blood. Why … Why did he see him kill Master?
Every time he woke up from that nightmare, his mind would always be in turmoil. It turned out that what he was most afraid of was not Wei Yang’s death, but … he had personally killed his master.
Why … was there such a strange dream?
“Big brother, big brother … what’s wrong with you?”
Seeing that he was dumbfounded again, Xian’er frowned. After a while, she smiled and said, “Big brother, don’t be afraid! In any case, Xian’er will always be beside big brother. In the future, when Xian’er grows up, she will protect big brother. At that time, no one will be able to hurt big brother …”
“Silly Xian’er.”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her face, but he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. When he first met this girl, he only thought that the girl was formed from the spirit energy of heaven and earth. With her Spiritual Energy, he would definitely be able to save Wei Yang, but now …
In the past few days, he had unknowingly developed a subtle feeling towards this young girl. Of course, this kind of feeling was not that of a man and a woman, but that of being very pure and treating her like a sister.
However …
There was only one thing in Spiritual Energy. If she and Wei Yang woke up in the end, then the other would have to fall asleep. At that time, how would he choose?
“Big brother, don’t be unhappy. Xian’er will always be with you …”
Seeing that he hadn’t spoken yet, Xian’er stood on tiptoe gently, her hands clasped around him and leaned her head against his chest. Her cheeks were flushed red, her eyes were watery, and her appearance was extremely cute.
…
Moreover, when Daoist Qingdeng went to the valley entrance, he happened to meet the two cultivators who had found this place. The two of them were also white-haired old men. One wore Zi Yi and the other wore Qingyi. Their cultivation was also very high. However, compared to Daoist Qingdeng, they were still a bit weaker. They were only at the Six Realms.
Seeing Daoist Qingdeng come out, the two of them were also slightly shocked. Daoist Qingdeng did not recognize them, but they did recognize Daoist Qingdeng. After all, the latter had already reached the Seven Realms.
“Senior Green … Green Lamp.”
The two of them were stunned. Originally, they came happily and thought that they had found some good treasure this time. They could go back and talk to the two Martial Uncles. They didn’t expect Daoist Qingdeng to be one step ahead of them. They were already here.
“Yes.”
At this moment, Daoist Qingdeng’s expression was cold. He looked at the two of them, then looked outside. Finally, he turned around and looked at the two of them. He said indifferently, “What are you doing here?”
“Senior …”
As the two spoke, they did not forget to look into the valley. They had already sensed the abundance of spiritual energy here. Daoist Zi Yi on the left said, “Inside this valley …”
Before he could continue, Daoist Qingdeng interrupted coldly, “There’s nothing in the valley. The two of you, quickly leave.”
“This …”
The two of them exchanged glances. How could they believe that there was nothing in the valley? If there was nothing else, how could it be so rich in spiritual energy?
“Huh?”
Seeing that the two of them were still standing there, Daoist Qingdeng’s eyes immediately emitted a cold light and his voice became much deeper. “What? Don’t you believe what the Pauper Dao said?”
As he spoke, a strand of True Qi had already condensed in his palm, and the whisk in his hand was calm. The two of them immediately felt as if they had fallen into a cold pond. After sensing the gradually rising killing intent on each other’s body, they no longer dared to say anything else. They cupped their hands and quickly walked outside. Soon, they disappeared from sight.
Calm slowly returned to the vicinity. Daoist Qingdeng stared at the place where the two of them had disappeared. A look of worry could not help but slowly appear on his face. At this moment, he suddenly sensed two more auras coming towards him at an extremely fast speed. This caused him to frown even more.
Moments later, the two of them returned. At the same time, there were two more people besides the two. The two more people seemed to have higher cultivation levels, and their expressions were even more cold and arrogant.
“This is him?”
The two newcomers descended towards the valley entrance. However, looking at the two of them, they were tall and upright, but they looked like middle-aged men. However, their age was clearly higher than the two old men from before.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a red robe. He slowly walked over and his gaze fell on Daoist Qingdeng. He said indifferently, “Who am I? So it’s Senior Blue Lantern.”
The two old men from before were still trembling, but since the two Martial Uncles had already arrived, the two of them had no choice but to forcibly step forward.
Another white-clothed middle-aged man said, “Senior Green Lamp, the four of us will not speak in secret. This Immortal Valley’s spiritual energy is extraordinary. Senior has been here for a long time, so there is no reason to stop the four of us from entering.”
The two of them seemed to have yet to reach the Seven Realms. Since that was the case, they must have powerful magic treasures in their hands. Otherwise, they would never dare to make a mistake in front of a Seven Realms cultivator.
Daoist Qingdeng’s eyes turned cold. At this moment, a murderous aura really surged out. He said coldly, “Since you want to die, then I’ll let you all have it.”
