As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1424
Chapter 1424 Duanmu Xie
“Who is it?”
Xiao Meng’er immediately tightened her grip on her clothes and became alert. The evil laughter was still lingering nearby, but she did not know from which direction it came. One moment it seemed to be on the left, while the other was on the right.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, an extremely fast figure flashed past her, but her divine sense was unable to keep up with her speed.
“Come out!”
Xiao Meng’er was not panicking. Although her divine sense was unable to lock onto her opponent, her Ancient Martial Arts were outstanding. She had long since cultivated a technique that was difficult for cultivators to reach, the Qi Seeking Technique.
This Qi Seeking Technique was extraordinary. It could not compare to a cultivator’s divine sense. Any slight change in the surroundings, including dust in the air and germination of seeds in the soil, could not escape the insight of her Qi Seeking Technique no matter how small it was.
In that instant, under the cover of her Qi Looking Technique, she was able to see through all the grass, trees, and even the smallest objects in the entire pine forest. That figure was also completely exposed, and it was no longer possible for it to be invisible.
“Oh? Qi Seeking Technique? Not from the Immortal Dimension. Interesting, hehe …”
That figure was actually able to see through her Qi Seeking Technique with a single glance, and at this moment, he rushed over in an instant.
This figure was extremely fast. If a cultivator who was accustomed to using flying swords and spells to fight was absolutely unable to deal with such close combat, how could Xiao Meng’er’s ancient martial arts be so idle?
The moment that person rushed over, her fingertips had already condensed her internal force, and with a “whoosh” sound, she nodded towards that person.
Chi!
A sharp sound rang out. Unexpectedly, this finger actually caused the person to dodge and point at a pine tree behind him.
At this moment, the figure finally appeared. It was an old man with a strange appearance. However, looking at him, he wore a purple robe and had a white beard with a small braid. His cultivation methods were exceptionally strange. In short, he did not look like an ordinary cultivator.
“Hehe, interesting, interesting …”
The movement of the human body was like a ghost or a god. In the blink of an eye, it circled behind Xiao Meng’er. When Xiao Meng’er reacted, the other party pointed and hit the “Divine Hall Acupoint” on her back with a “chi” sound.
“Hehe, Divine Hall, middle.”
That person smiled evilly and his movement technique changed in an instant. He was as fast as a shadow and pointed at Xiao Meng’er’s “Cloud Gate Acupoint” under her left shoulder.
“Cloud Gate, middle.”
Xiao Meng’er was unable to dodge this finger because of her opponent’s speed, which completely exceeded her imagination. In just a short moment, several acupoints were actually hit.
“He Gu, middle!”
Finally, the eccentric abruptly grabbed the “HeGu acupoint” on her palm. This time, Xiao Meng’er’s entire body passed like lightning, and she felt numb. A feeling of sour and soft came, and she was unable to move again.
“Hehe, all of them …”
The eccentric caught her. Xiao Meng’er’s face revealed shock. She had never seen such an acupoint pointing technique before in her life. This person seemed inconspicuous, but his cultivation was so high that it was still hard to imagine! Otherwise, how could she be so easily restrained by the other party?
But very quickly, she calmed down and shouted, “Who are you!” She deliberately raised her voice in order to attract Xiao Chen’s attention so that he could rush to save her.
“Hehe …”
The eccentric smiled evilly and stared at her beautiful and flawless body. He took a deep breath and said, “What a fragrant beauty. Hehe, I, Duanmu Xie, did not come here in vain today …”
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er was still wearing the shattered clothes. Being stared at by the other party like this, she immediately felt a blazing heat attack. However, at this moment, she was unable to move by tapping her acupoints and could only let the other party do whatever she wanted.
“Hehe, little beauty, I won’t mistreat you. It’s better to fall into my hands than into the hands of the Black Wind Old Demon and the others. Follow me …”
The eccentric chuckled and carried her on his shoulder. He executed a strange footwork and disappeared into the depths of the pine forest in three or two steps.
…
Outside the pine forest, Xiao Chen heard the commotion and rushed in. However, when he arrived, he only saw the clothes that had landed on the ground. Xiao Meng’er was nowhere to be seen. There were slight traces of fighting nearby, and several pine trees had been pierced through by the force of his fingers.
“Xiao Meng’er … shit!”
Xiao Chen immediately thought that something was wrong. Sure enough, he was still careless. There were countless old monsters with unfathomable cultivation levels inside the ancient mark. Perhaps he and Xiao Meng’er had already been discovered while they were still in the pitch-black passageway without five fingers.
“Xiao Meng’er?”
At this moment, he shouted twice, but there was no response. The surrounding dense pine forest was completely boundless. How could he find someone this time?
Xiao Chen quickly took out a jade slip from his sleeve. However, the originally flowing jade slip was now dim and was even covered in cracks. It was clear that the transmission jade slip had completely lost its usefulness in this ancient scar.
Helplessly, he could only point his fingers at the center of his eyebrows and use the Qi Seeking Technique to track Xiao Meng’er’s aura.
…
“Hehe, little beauty, don’t worry, we’ll be there soon …”
Inside the mountain range, Duanmu Xie was carrying Xiao Meng’er as fast as she could fly. Between the mountains and rivers, there were dangerous valleys and precipice waterfalls. However, this person seemed to be walking on flat ground, and his speed was extremely fast. It could be seen how high the light arts were. It was truly not something an ordinary cultivator could compare to.
Xiao Meng’er was pointed at an acupuncture point. At this moment, she still felt weak and sour. However, she was not an ordinary woman. Even under such circumstances, she was still able to remain calm. She tried to break through the acupuncture point while leaving behind her aura along the way.
When dusk fell, Duanmu Xie carried her to a mountain peak. There was a cave on this mountain peak, and there was a formation restriction between Zhou Mountains. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to come up. Even if they came up, there were thousands of caves in this mountain, and there were many restrictions. It was very difficult to find his cave.
A moment later, Duanmu Xie carried Xiao Meng’er to a cave covered in vegetation. Two disciples stood in front of the cave. When they saw him return, they immediately bowed their heads and worshiped, “Greetings, Master …”
“En …”
Duanmu Xie didn’t say much and directly carried Xiao Meng’er into the cave. She said, “Guard this place and don’t let anyone in.”
The two disciples were stunned for a moment. They subconsciously raised their heads to look at the woman on his shoulder. However, they did not dare to look any further. They only lowered their heads and said, “Yes …”
Inside, there was a different world. There was a golden palace with a natural spiritual spring in the center. A layer of faint white smoke floated on the surface of the water, and there were actually seven or eight women who were not touched by it.
However, looking at those women, their muscles were as white as snow, charming and colorful as the demons in the mountains. When they saw Duanmu Xie enter the pond, the women immediately sat down and lowered their heads, saying, “Greetings, Sovereign …”
It was hard to imagine that there was such a beautiful scene in this wilderness. Duanmu Xie looked at these women, as if she was no longer interested. She was still carrying Xiao Meng’er on her shoulder. With a faint “hmm”, she quickly walked towards the back hall.
When the seven or eight women in the jade pond saw that Duanmu Xie didn’t even look at them, they felt strange for a moment. However, the other party had walked too fast just now, and they couldn’t see clearly what kind of peerless beauty the woman carrying on the other party’s shoulders was.
It turned out that Duanmu Xie was cultivating a technique called “Yin Gathering and Yang Nourishing”, but it was very different from ordinary techniques of Yin Gathering and Yang Nourishing.
Ordinary women who used the Yin Nourishing Technique would often end up miserable. Before they were old, they would die. However, the Yin Nourishing Technique he cultivated could make women younger and younger. They were always like virgins, and he called them “jade cauldrons”.
At this moment, Duanmu Xie put Xiao Meng’er down in the back hall. She carefully sized her up and down. Her heart trembled for a moment. She was indeed the best in the world. If she could dual cultivate with her, her cultivation would increase by at least a thousand years. At that time, it would not be difficult for her to break through the obstacles and step into the Ninth Realm.
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er was still very calm. Seeing him staring at her like this, as well as the women outside the jade pond who weren’t even touching her, she could already imagine what Duanmu Xie wanted to do to her.
This person’s ability was indeed formidable. After tapping her acupoints, she was unable to raise any internal strength. She could only blame her for being too careless. If she had flown out from the beginning in the pine forest and joined hands with Xiao Chen to deal with this person, she would not have fallen into this person’s hands.
“Hehe …”
Duanmu Xie smiled. Seeing that she wasn’t panicking at all, he smiled and said, “Little beauty, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt your life. I will take good care of you …”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the other party’s body. Unexpectedly, Xiao Meng’er tilted her head and glared coldly at him, “You’d better let me go. Otherwise, when he comes, your entire mountain will probably be burnt to ashes.”
“Oh?”
Hearing what she said, Duanmu Xie narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Are you talking about that brat? Hehe, I think that brat’s cultivation is only at the sixth or seventh level at most. I can crush him with a single finger. If he sees me, his soul will be scared out of his wits. How dare he come to me?”
Xiao Meng’er’s gaze was still fixed, “You can try.”
“Heh … Then I really want to give it a try.”
As Duanmu Xie spoke, she began to calculate with her fingers. After a while, she chuckled and said, “Three days later, on the night of the Frost Moon, when we were cultivating together, we would get twice the result with half the effort. Stay here for the next three days. Also, don’t try to open the acupoints, or else your meridians might be broken. Hehe …”
Xiao Meng’er remained silent. In three days, she hoped that Xiao Chen would be able to find this place. Otherwise, she could only take a risk and try the Heaven-defying Profound Technique of the Ancient Xiao Clan.
Right at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, followed by a woman’s voice, “Your Excellency, someone is coming from outside …”
“Huh?”
Duanmu Xie’s gaze narrowed as he looked at Xiao Meng’er. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He chuckled and said, “What? That brat you mentioned came so quickly? Forget it, I’ll go out and see if he has three heads and six arms …”
A moment later, Duanmu Xie went to the outer hall. The disciples had already gone to the outer hall. At this moment, the hall was empty. A figure stood in the middle of the hall, wearing a battle robe, with his back facing him.
“Who are you?”
Duanmu Xie’s gaze narrowed and he was unable to sense this person’s aura. After a while, this figure turned around and said coldly, “Duanmu Xie …”
When Duanmu Xie saw this person’s appearance and the profound fire mark on her face, her entire body trembled. She was so scared that she immediately knelt down, her entire body trembling, “Duanmu Xie … greeted Venerable Envoy Xuanhuo!”
