As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1432
Chapter 1432 Fruitless Search
The wind blew and the rain poured down. Xiao Meng’er sped along, allowing the cold wind to hit her face. The cold rain corroded her body and covered her feet with iron thorns and thorns. In front of her were rocks and miserable mist that filled the air. She didn’t know where she was going to find a strange path.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the blood stains on her clothes had long been washed clean. The aura on her body also became fainter and fainter, and her face was still as pale as snow.
At dusk, the wind and rain did not stop, and the Slyly Valley Abyss that was getting closer and closer seemed to be breathing heavily with devilish breath.
The layers of strange fog wrapped around the cliff seemed to be a warning to the world that anyone who approached would be swallowed up here.
Suddenly, the earth trembled. It was like a ferocious beast that had been hibernating for ten thousand years had suddenly woken up. The strange fog on the cliff had also surged irregularly, and a dangerous aura was quietly approaching …
Xiao Meng’er finally stopped and looked at the cliff where the strange mist surged. Her heartbeat gradually became intense. She arrived at an ancient forbidden area. That’s right, this was a forbidden area that no one had dared to approach so easily for ten thousand years.
Beneath the cliff was covered with white bones. Layers after layers, countless people had been buried here. The thick fog wrapped around the cliff was actually condensed from a wave of resentment that soared into the heavens from the depths of the earth …
Xiao Meng’er took a few more steps forward. The resentment in the cliff became more and more intense, as if it was going to devour her. It was also like the shadow of an ancient ferocious beast, waving its teeth and claws.
This was a forbidden area that no one dared to enter. Even the experts in the Heaven Domain were no exception. She could only flee to that place to avoid being pursued.
At this moment, her face was deathly pale. It was entirely due to a profound Dao Art that she was able to suppress the backlash of the Heaven-defying Profound Technique. However, it was not a long-term plan. If this continued, it would still be impossible to escape the fate of burning both her heart and veins.
She had killed those four people last night, and the people of the Heaven Realm would not let her go. Right now, she needed to find a place where no one could go to cultivate in seclusion, and this Sly Valley Abyss was perfect for her.
However, what exactly was inside this ancient forbidden area? Perhaps it was the path to the Demon Realm … she didn’t know either.
In the end, she leapt into the forbidden region and flew down.
…
A few days later, Xiao Chen had already arrived at an unknown location. The heavy rain that had been raining for several days had caused him to lose all traces of Xiao Meng’er’s aura.
Today, the rain had finally stopped. However, it was difficult to find Xiao Meng’er’s aura in the vast mountains. Xiao Chen took out the only transmission jade letter he had with her.
The jade slip was still dim. Spiritual Energy had dissipated. Even though it had reformed, the jade slip on Xiao Meng’er’s body had shattered. He could no longer sense where the other party was.
“She should be safe for now …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He looked at Shan Qing after the rain, but he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. If he had been more vigilant that day, nothing would have happened.
However, now that things were like this, there was nothing she could do. Xiao Meng’er’s jade note was most likely crushed by herself. Since she crushed the jade note herself, then she did not wish for her to find her. Why? Could it be because she cultivated some kind of forbidden technique …
“Ah, idiot, idiot, you really are a piece of wood.”
At this moment, Gu Mo’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Seeing him say this, Xiao Chen was puzzled and asked, “Why did you say that?”
“Alas!”
Gu Mo sighed. It was as if even an outsider could see it clearly. She said, “I think that little girl is very arrogant. That day, she was captured by Duanmu Xie and placed all her hopes on you. However, you were unable to save her in the end. She was inevitably disheartened that night. She chose to take the risk and cultivate the Forbidden Mysterious Technique. So, she doesn’t want you to find her now.”
“Is that so?”
After hearing Bone Demon’s words, Xiao Chen suddenly seemed to be enlightened. She remembered that even though Xiao Meng’er had captured Duanmu Xie that day, she had left behind an aura for herself. But now, not only did she not leave behind any aura for herself, she even deliberately concealed her aura, making it impossible for her to trace it.
Could it really be that what Gu Mo said … Xiao Meng’er, she was actually blaming herself in her heart, blaming herself for not saving her …
But at that time, he had gone, but that night, he was still a step late, and he had never given up on searching for her these past few days …
Could it be that she thought that she had come here to find the Ancient Lotus, but had placed her life and death at a loss?
Even in the past in Spirit Ruins Realm, the relationship between the two of them had always been indescribably wonderful. Especially that time in the clouds, the two of them were more like enemies, attacking each other.
However, ever since he came to Ancient Immortal Realm, Xiao Chen had never treated her as an outsider. Even when he was still in the gap between the Immortal Dimensions, when he found Dugu Tianxia nearby, he had taken the risk of returning to remind Luo Die to be careful.
And this time, it seems like she really misunderstood herself …
The Bone Demon said, “If it wasn’t for that, why would she crush the jade note? This jade note can only be used by the two of you for communication, and no one else can track it down. If she didn’t want you to find it, why would she crush the jade note?”
“That’s really the case.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed as he held the jade slip that was covered in cracks in his hand. Back then, when they went to the Divine Devil Mountain Range, the two of them had said that they should not get separated no matter what. That was why they had these two jade slips. But now … she had crushed her jade slip. If it wasn’t for her blame, so what?
“Alas!”
Gu Mo sighed and said, “A woman’s mind is always so sensitive and delicate. Little brat, if you meet her again in the future, it’s better for you to explain what happened that day clearly, so as not to create estrangement and suspicion in your heart. And then … I see that you’re in trouble too, little brat.”
“En …”
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the numerous mountain shadows in the distance. He knew what kind of place this was and offended the powers within the Ancient Scar. It would probably not be so easy to end it, and it would probably not be so easy to leave.
…
A month passed like this. After this month, Xiao Chen still couldn’t find Xiao Meng’er, but he was clear about the situation in the ancient mark.
The hinge of the ancient mark was probably at the center of the ancient mark. The seed of the ancient lotus from 10,000 years ago was also very likely to land there. Now, whether it was Divine Devil Abyss or the people of Ancient Immortal Realm, they had already rushed there.
As long as they opened the hinge of the ancient mark, they would be able to draw out the eternal spiritual energy of the ancient mark. The people of the Immortal Dimension wanted to draw the spiritual energy to the Immortal Dimension, while the people of the Divine Devil Abyss wanted to draw the spiritual energy to the Divine Devil Abyss. This time, there must be a great conflict between the two sides in the ancient mark.
Perhaps Empress and Yun Zhongjun, as well as the great figures in Ancient Immortal Alliance, had already come to the Ancient Era’s Marks, but it was unknown where they were now.
And Xiao Chen has to rush over to stop, no matter what, the people of Divine Devil Abyss and Ancient Immortal Realm from opening the Ancient Scar Pivot.
What Fairy Rain Butterfly told him that day was true. This ancient mark’s hub was also a key seal in Heaven’s Beyond.
