As the Universe Turns - Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Nameless

Daoist Gudeng raised his head to look at the two of them. The dusty past was finally undone by the two young men today. He took a deep breath and slowly nodded. “It’s been many years. I hope that little friend Wu Chen, Miss Wei Yang, you two won’t tell anyone about it.”

Hua Weiyang and Xiao Chen exchanged glances. The four elders of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda were all like immortals. It turned out that they were also hiding their past.

Daoist Gudeng slowly turned around and looked at the fallen leaves floating outside the window. He slowly said, “Back then, there was indeed such a person. His name was’ Nameless’ …”

“Nameless …”

Xiao Chen gradually frowned. How could a person be called “nameless”? He didn’t want anyone to know his name or his past. From the looks of it, it was the same person that Wild Sand Castle’s Nianxiang Qin had saved back then.

No wonder Granny Meng said that he hadn’t told Nianxiang Qin his name until she left at Kuangsha Castle. It seemed that he had always used the word “nameless”.

“And then?” Hua Weiyang asked.

Daoist Gudeng took a deep breath and continued, “That person lost all his strength and only had a basic martial dao left. Under such circumstances, I wonder how he managed to obtain a Heavenly Extreme Token. At the very least, we didn’t know at that time …”

The Heavenly Pagoda released 72 Heavenly Plaques at a time. However, the Heavenly Pagoda knew exactly where the Heavenly Plaques had gone, who had obtained them, and how they had been obtained.

Even the last time Xiao Chen had obtained Ye Thirteen’s Heavenly Extreme Token in the dark night, this matter still hadn’t escaped the eyes of the Heavenly Extreme Pagoda. However, back then, they didn’t know how Wuming had obtained a Heavenly Extreme Token.

“If I lose my cultivation, I can still obtain a Heavenly Extreme Card. It seems that this person’s methods are very powerful …”

Hua Weiyang pondered for a moment before raising his head and asking, “Then what happened? This person’s cultivation was completely lost. Could it be that he passed the trial?”

Hearing her question, Daoist Gudeng seemed to recall a painful past. He sighed softly and slowly said, “Although that person lost all his strength back then, he possessed astonishing willpower. Just this willpower alone was unparalleled. He only wore a shallow martial dao, but he actually passed one trial after another. It was even harder than it is now.”

Hua Weiyang’s eyes narrowed. He thought to himself that this person was able to cross the Desert of Death with such severe injuries. It was not surprising that he had such an astonishing willpower. However, this person was truly beyond ordinary people’s imagination. He asked, “Then … did he enter Celestial Pogoda in the end?”

“No …”

Daoist Gudeng shook his head. This time, there was a trace of pain on his face. “It’s all my fault … I was paranoid for a moment, alas …”

Seeing that he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, Xiao Chen asked, “Senior, what did you say?”

Daoist Gudeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Although that person’s cultivation was completely lost, in time, once his cultivation recovered, he would definitely achieve great success in the future. Isn’t such a peerless talent what Celestial Pogoda needed?”

He paused for a moment, then opened his eyes and continued, “But at that time, I accidentally noticed that this person was very hostile. I was shocked at that time. How could there be such a terrible hostility in a person? How terrible was the hatred in his heart?”

“That’s why, during that person’s final trial, Senior secretly cast a spell, causing that person to fail. Is that so?”

Hua Weiyang suddenly said.

Daoist Gudeng was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect that she would actually explain everything. She kept nodding her head and saying, “It’s like this, it’s like this. That’s right, Miss Wei Yang is right … I secretly obstructed him, causing him to fail the trial …”

At this moment, there was a look of pain on his face, as if he was repenting of something he had done wrong back then. Hua Weiyang continued, “Senior, is it unfair for you to do this?”

Daoist Gudeng was stunned for a moment as if he was asking a question. He looked at the woman in front of him and shook his head, sighing, “That’s right, it’s all my fault for being paranoid. I shouldn’t have … it’s all my fault …”

Seeing that his expression was getting more and more painful, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown and tug at Hua Weiyang’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking. This was the past of the senior, and it must have caused him to feel deeply uneasy all these years.

Hua Weiyang shook his head. “Then what happened?”

Daoist Gudeng’s emotions gradually calmed down. He sighed softly and said, “Although he failed in the trial, he was favored by Senior Martial Brother Taiwu. Senior Martial Brother Taiwu wanted to take him as his disciple, but at that time, he only left one sentence before turning around and leaving.”

“What do you mean?”

This time, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang asked at the same time.

Daoist Gudeng took a deep breath and slowly said, “He said, ‘This place, don’t stay.’ After saying that, he left without even looking back …”

After a pause, Daoist Gudeng continued, “Looks like he knew that I was in the middle of the trial, so he was disappointed in Celestial Pogoda. I immediately regretted seeing him turn around and leave resolutely. No matter how much hostility he had in his heart, there was nothing that he couldn’t resolve. Why would I refuse to let him out of the door? Sigh …”

Xiao Chen could tell that Daoist Gudeng was very regretful about the past, so much so that he was still deeply rooted in his heart. Perhaps that was why he had helped him without hesitation to make up for the guilt he felt towards another young man in the past.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen sighed in her heart. However, Hua Weiyang was not interested in the old story of an old man. She only wanted to know what happened to that person afterwards. She continued to ask, “What happened afterwards? Where did that person go?”

Lonely Lamp said, “then I sent two men to follow him secretly, Finally, “So that person’s Heavenly Ji Token was fought with the young master of the Bie Jian Villa. As for what happened, there is no way to trace it back. At that time, that person was endlessly pursued by the Bie Jian Villa after leaving. At that time, the strength of the Bie Jian Villa was no small matter. How could he fight it if he was alone?”

“Bie Jian Villa …”

Xiao Chen was slightly focused. He had been in Immortal North Ancient Realm for such a long time, and it seemed that he had never heard of this name.

Daoist Gudeng sighed softly. He continued, “That person was chased after for several months. Later, he was seriously injured. Even his arm was cut off by someone from Bie Jian Villa, and his life was almost on the line. In the end, he used the terrain to escape. The two people I sent wanted to treat his injuries, but I didn’t expect that he would hug his broken arm and leave like that without saying anything.”

At this point, Daoist Gudeng’s body trembled. Although he had never seen what happened that day with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene at that time. A severely injured young man who was dying would rather die than receive a trace of pity and sympathy from anyone in Celestial Pogoda. Just what kind of temperament was this?

“Not only does this person have a deep hatred and ruthlessness, his temperament is also unparalleled. He is filled with hatred towards this world. If he survives, he will be a very terrifying person …”

Hua Weiyang slowly muttered to himself. Finally, he raised his head and continued to ask, “What happened after that? Did he leave just like that?”

Daoist Gudeng shook his head. “The two people I sent were still following him secretly. Not long after, he was found by the people of the Bie Jian Villa. There were too many people in the Bie Jian Villa at that time, and Celestial Pogoda was unable to show his face. In the end, he was forced to a cliff and jumped off the cliff …”

“I jumped off the cliff …”

Xiao Chen’s brows knitted deeper and deeper. Could it be that he died just like that?

Daoist Gudeng continued, “That cliff is called the Ghost Cry Cliff. It is about 1000 feet tall. Every cloudy day, the wind howls like thousands of fierce ghosts. Even if he is seriously injured, he may not be able to see the entire corpse even if he jumps down. That is why he is called the Ghost Cry Cliff.”

At this point, Daoist Gudeng paused and continued, “There is a river below the Ghost Cry Cliff. The river is called ‘Yellow Springs Uncrossed’. It means that he has fallen from the Ghost Cry Cliff and lost the chance to reincarnate. He can only become a vengeful ghost in the river. In those few days when the rain is heavy and the river is flowing rapidly, his chances of survival are even slimmer … It is almost impossible for him to survive.”

“So that person … died in the end?”

Hua Weiyang asked in disbelief.

Daoist Gudeng shook his head. “No one knows if he’s alive or dead. He hasn’t appeared since then. The people from the Bie Jian Villa went down to look for him, but they couldn’t find the corpse. The two people I sent also went to look for him later, but they couldn’t find him either.”

“This matter, and that person … is it over just like that?” Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed as he asked tentatively.

“In short, that person never appeared again, but …”

At this point, there was a change on Daoist Gudeng’s face. After a long time, he closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Twelve years after that incident, Bie Jian Villa … was annihilated overnight.”

“Exterminated overnight?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang’s expressions became serious. Could it be that person had returned to take revenge? He didn’t die back then …

Daoist Gudeng slowly opened his eyes. “That’s right. More than 700 people in the manor died overnight. From the old man to the eighty-year-old man, to the baby who just had a full moon, none of them survived.”

“This …”

Xiao Chen’s face revealed a slight shock, but Hua Weiyang’s expression did not change much. He continued to ask, “Did that person do it?”

Daoist Gudeng shook his head. “It’s not clear if that person did it, but at that time, the people of Bie Jian Villa, including the Villa Master with a rather high cultivation level, all died extremely strangely. In all these years, the Ancient Realm has never had such an inexplicable killing method. It doesn’t seem like it was done by a human … It’s more like it was done by a ghost.”

When he said this, his face turned slightly pale, as if he had really seen a fierce ghost come back to seek revenge.
