As the Universe Turns - Chapter 162
Chapter 162 Yi Nuo
Looking at the firm gazes of the disciples, the elders nodded in satisfaction and said, “Next, you all should prepare well.”
At this moment, Feng Gufei and Qin E were both silent in the crowd, but their eyes were much more focused than the others. It was unknown what the two of them were thinking now.
When Xiao Chen heard the discussions of the surrounding disciples, he more or less understood the so-called Azure Dragon Trial.
Not far away, Ling Luan jumped over and smiled, “Liao Wuchen, I’ll follow you when we go to the Azure Dragon Mountains next month!”
“I won’t go.”
Xiao Chen’s voice was calm and indifferent. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to his residence. Ling Luan was stunned behind him and scratched his head. Why did he feel that he had become even weirder after returning from Daoist Lonely Lamp? Although the Heavenly Pagoda did not force disciples to participate in the Azure Dragon Trial, he was still a member of the Heavenly Pagoda …
…
Because the courtyard had been destroyed by Qin E. Later, Elder Greenwood, who was cultivating on the peak, arranged a new courtyard for him. He returned to the pavilion and Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged, quietly sensing his Nascent Soul.
When night fell, an aura suddenly came from outside. Soon after, there was a soft sound of footsteps. Xiao Chen had a keen divine sense, so he didn’t have to open his eyes to know who it was. He immediately got up and opened the door. He saw an old man wearing green clothes and white hair standing in the courtyard. It was Elder Greenwood.
Elder Greenwood was watching the falling flowers in the courtyard. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he turned around and smiled. “Little friend Wuchen, are you still used to living here?”
“Elder, you have troubled me.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly walked down. The other party had personally visited him today and previously arranged for him to meet Daoist Lonely Lamp. Even if he was leaving, he would not be rude.
After descending the pavilion and arriving in front of Elder Greenwood, Xiao Chen cupped his hands slightly and said, “Elder, what are you doing here tonight?”
At this moment, a faint moon was slowly rising from the horizon. The moonlight was like water, and the night wind blew gently, blowing up the white hair on Azure Wood’s forehead. After a while, he smiled and said, “Little friend, have you obtained anything from Daoist Lonely Lantern these past few days?”
“Thanks to Senior Lonely Lamp’s careful guidance over the past two months, this junior has benefited greatly.”
“That’s good …”
Elder Qingmu smiled and gently stroked his white beard. Seeing that he had something to say, Xiao Chen seemed somewhat embarrassed. He asked, “Elder, what’s the matter?”
“This …”
Elder Qingmu’s face was still a little awkward. He smiled softly and said, “I heard Daoist say that Little Friend is leaving this month?”
“Well, this junior still has some things to deal with.”
“This …”
Elder Qingmu’s face became even more troubled. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, “Actually, I came here tonight to invite my little friend to help Celestial Pogoda and retrieve ‘Power of Azure Dragon’.”
At this moment, he said, “I ask little friend to help me retrieve Power of Azure Dragon.” Instead of saying, “Let Xiao Chen participate in the Azure Dragon Trial,” the meaning was obvious. This meant that he also knew that the young man in front of him was only a passer-by and did not treat him as a disciple of Celestial Pogoda, so he could not ask for anything from the other party.
Xiao Chen was silent for a while before he said, “Celestial Pogoda has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The disciples of the Heavenly Word Realm have very high cultivation bases. Why don’t you let them go to the Azure Dragon Mountain Range?”
“Sigh …”
Elder Qingmu sighed and slowly said, “If they can go, why not let them go? Sigh …” At the end of his sentence, he sighed helplessly.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ponder. He had been in Celestial Pogoda for almost half a year and hadn’t seen the disciples at the Heavenly Word Realm. He seemed to have heard of them before. From a hundred years ago, those disciples seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again. Then where did they go?
Elder Qingmu took a deep breath and raised his head to look at him. He said, “I know that Feng Gufei and the others are unable to retrieve Power of Azure Dragon. Only little friend has the ability to do so. This time, Celestial Pogoda does not want to compete with the Divine Martial Palace and the Profound Frost Pavilion for that title. Rather, this time, Power of Azure Dragon is very important to Celestial Pogoda. It concerns Celestial Pogoda … I wonder if little friend can …”
“Alright, I’ll take it back to Power of Azure Dragon.”
Before Qing Mu could finish his sentence, Xiao Chen agreed.
“Little friend …”
Qing Mu was deeply stunned. He had originally thought that even if Liao Wuchen would not refuse, he would only say that “this junior will do his best”. However, he did not expect that the other party would directly say that “he would take back Power of Azure Dragon”.
This young man in front of him was really different from the others. Underneath his seemingly indifferent appearance, there was a firm heart. A gentleman’s promise would last until he died.
He kept nodding. At this moment, his eyes were filled with praise, but in his heart, he was somewhat disappointed. If this young man was willing to stay in Celestial Pogoda forever, how good would that be? Sigh …
The night gradually darkened. After sending Elder Qingmu away, Xiao Chen returned to the pavilion. Although he had become more and more indifferent and heartless these past two years, there was still a clear grudge in his chest.
In the past two months, Daoist Lonely Lamp had used all of his primordial spirit energy to make him feel his Nascent Soul again. He was extremely grateful to him. In fact, he had faintly felt that Daoist Lonely Lamp had something to say a few days ago, but he couldn’t say it. So it was actually this Power of Azure Dragon incident.
Even though Spiritual Master Lonely Lamp didn’t speak to him in the end, now that he knew, he would take Power of Azure Dragon back no matter what. This could be considered repaying Spiritual Master Lonely Lamp’s kindness. He didn’t like to owe people kindness.
However, next month, he had to make a trip to the Dan Feng Villa in the Eastern Region to make sure that the girl Bie Li Feng had saved in the desert two years ago was not Wei Yang. Only in this way could he calm down and hope that he could stagger the time at that time.
…
Unknowingly, half a month had passed, and it was already early May.
That night, the stars and moons dimmed. Xiao Chen, Qing Mu, and the other elders were discussing in the secret hall. This matter was of great importance, so the elders had no choice but to be cautious and solemn. It was obvious that they trusted Xiao Chen enough to call Xiao Chen here to discuss it with them alone.
This time, the elders were prepared to let the disciples enter the Azure Dragon Mountain Range ahead of time, but everything had to proceed quietly. The Azure Dragon Mountain Range was in the eastern region, which was very beneficial to Celestial Pogoda.
After a while, Elder Qingmu took out a pagoda from his sleeve. The pagoda shone brightly. Spiritual Energy was extraordinary. It was the “Veluriyam Pagoda” that contained Power of Azure Dragon.
“Little friend Wu Chen, put away this tower. I will impart a spell to you later. When the time comes, you can use this tower to collect Power of Azure Dragon’s income. You have to leave as soon as possible after receiving the income, in case someone comes to seize it.”
Elder Qingmu’s expression was solemn as he spoke, and he solemnly handed the Veluriyam Pagoda over to him.
Xiao Chen looked at the Seven-Colored Treasure Pagoda in his hand and did not say anything else. He immediately put it into his sleeve.
He knew that there would be a life-and-death battle in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. Other than the other two forces, the Divine Martial Palace and the Profound Frost Pavilion, there would probably be other mysterious forces competing for Power of Azure Dragon this time. It was hard to say who would be the final winner.
