As the Universe Turns - Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Danfeng Villa

The night was boundless. Xiao Chen was walking back to the courtyard. There was no one around. Only the crescent moon in the sky, the chill in the air, and the occasional bug cries from the grass.

Tonight, no one knew what he was discussing with the elders. Besides giving him a glass pagoda, Elder Qingmu also gave him three restriction talismans. These three talismans were called “Life and Death Blood Talismans”. They were refined by Daoist Withered Wood, who was proficient in talismans in the four Great Elder. Their power was not trivial.

However, these three extremely powerful restriction talismans weren’t given to him to fight for Power of Azure Dragon. Instead, if anyone dared to chase after him after seizing Power of Azure Dragon, no matter who it was, they would all be killed! The consequences will be borne by Celestial Pogoda.

Of course, one more thing was better than one less. Elder Qingmu hoped that he would never use these three life and death blood talismans.

…

The next day, it was dawn, and the elders brought a hundred or so disciples along. Since they were secretly going first, it was impossible for them to ride on clouds and stones to flaunt the streets, nor could they walk together. This was too eye-catching.

The hundreds of disciples had all changed their attire and were divided into eight groups. Each group was led by a Trial Elder.

Seven days later, Xiao Chen’s group arrived in a town. Elder Qingmu found an inn and arranged for everyone to stay. Even though they were outstanding disciples of Celestial Pogoda, this time they came out and kept a low profile.

When night fell, Xiao Chen returned to his room. Suddenly, he saw two people walking over from the corridor. As the two walked, they whispered something. The one on the left said, “In a few days, it will be Villa Master Danfeng’s birthday. Quite a few people from the sects have already received invitations, right?”

The person on the right thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, “You said that this time, Bie Li Feng sent out an invitation card. Could it be that you have some ulterior motive?”

“Shh … don’t talk nonsense, there’s someone in front of us.”

The person on the left gestured for silence. The two of them immediately stopped talking. Xiao Chen also entered the room as if nothing had happened. After the two of them passed by, he extended his divine sense out.

Then he heard the man on the left: “I don ‘t know what’ s goe on, But I heard, More than two years ago, Bie Li Feng rescued a seriously injured girl from the desert, So for the past two years, Bie Lifeng never went out in Pill Maple Valley. It seemed that he was treating the girl’s injuries. Although Bie Lifeng had hidden this matter very deeply, the disciples in the sect finally leaked the news. It was said that the girl looked like a Celestial Immortal and was injured so badly for some reason. When she woke up, she actually didn’t remember anything. She didn’t even remember her name … ”

Inside the room, Xiao Chen listened attentively, and his expression gradually became nervous. In a few days, could it be …

Suddenly, he snatched the door and went to find Elder Qingmu. Seeing him arrive late at night, Elder Qingmu subconsciously looked outside. After confirming that there was no one there, he flicked his sleeve and set up a soundproof barrier. He asked, “Little friend, what’s the matter?”

Xiao Chen didn’t know what to say. He thought that he could stagger the time, but now he had to go to Danfeng Villa first. He said, “I want to go to a place by myself first.”

“To a place?”

Elder Qingmu’s expression turned serious. This was a crucial moment. Whether he could obtain Power of Azure Dragon this time was entirely up to him. How could he leave now? What if something unexpected happens?

Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Don’t worry, Elder. I won’t be delaying for too long. You guys go to the Azure Dragon Mountain Range first, and I’ll meet you guys then.”

“This …”

Elder Qingmu gradually fell into deep thought. This time, the matter was of great importance. There was nothing unexpected about it. What if …

After thinking for a long time, he saw that Xiao Chen had made up his mind. He finally raised his head and said, “Alright, I believe in little friend Wu Chen, but …” Then, he took out a jade note from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Chen. “Keep this jade note and contact me when you reach the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen nodded and put the jade note in his sleeve. Just as he was about to leave, Elder Qingmu stopped him again. “Little friend Wu Chen, wait a moment, can you tell me where you are going? If there is anything important, I can ask someone to help you secretly …”

Xiao Chen stopped and shook his head. “Elder, don’t worry. I can handle it by myself.” After saying that, he didn’t stay any longer, and with a flash, he disappeared into the vast night outside the window.

Elder Qingmu’s brows furrowed even deeper as he watched his disappearing figure.

Three days later, he arrived at an ancient town called “Green Willow Town”. This place was less than three hundred miles away from the valley where Danfeng Villa was located. He could arrive in half a day with his sword. However, Danfeng Villa was heavily guarded, and the experts inside were like clouds. He could not enter without invitations.

In two days, it will be Bie Lifeng’s birthday. He must find a way to get an invitation before tomorrow.

The next afternoon, he arrived at a small town near Danfeng Valley and intercepted two people from the Profound Cloud Sect outside. He did not know what sect this Profound Cloud Sect was, but these two people had invitation cards from Danfeng Villa on them.

He knocked the two unconscious, sealed their five senses and six senses, and hid them in a cave. Then, he took out invitations and gifts, changed into their clothes, and went to Danfeng Villa.

Outside Danfeng Villa, twilight was approaching. Looking around, one could see patches of maple trees that were as red as sunset. Under the sunset, rows and rows of glazed tiles could be seen. In the distance, carved beams and paintings were faintly visible. It was quite magnificent. It could be seen that the owner of this place was definitely not an ordinary person.

When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, they saw a lot of people enter. Some of them were young men and women, some were white-bearded old men, and all of them were holding congratulatory gifts in their hands.

Tomorrow was Bie Lifeng’s birthday, but by this evening, many guests had already arrived. Xiao Chen handed in invitations and gifts and went into the manor generously.

When they arrived at the manor, they saw red flowers hanging high everywhere. They were filled with joy. Xiao Chen thought to himself that this Manor Master Dan Feng was quite extravagant. It was only his birthday and he had invited people from many sects.

Seeing the people from these sects, he couldn’t be any colder. He could only pretend to greet these people and see if he could inquire about the injured girl from these people.

However, these people only knew that two years ago, Bie Lifeng had rescued a severely injured woman from the southern desert. They only heard about how she looked like a Celestial Immortal, but they had never seen her before. They did not know her surname, nor did they know where Bie Lifeng had arranged for her to recover from her injuries.

At night, a bright moon rose in the sky. A clear light shrouded the entire valley, and it looked flawless.

There were quite a few guest houses in the manor. Xiao Chen had been arranged by the disciples of the manor to have a private courtyard. The moonlight dissolved tonight. Such a beautiful day, he did not have the mood to gather together with the others to drink. All he thought about was Wei Yang.

It was not until midnight that Xiao Chen quietly left the courtyard, wanting to see if he could find the injured woman.

Along the way, he avoided the patrolling disciples in the manor. After less than two hours, he passed through a bamboo forest and arrived in front of a pavilion. The candlelight in the pavilion was not extinguished, and two figures were reflected on the red paper windows. Someone was dressing up in the room.

It’s almost midnight, what kind of makeup do you wear?

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. He wanted to get closer, but at this moment, a faint middle-aged man laughed from behind him. “It’s already late at night. Why hasn’t little friend gone back to rest yet?”
