As the Universe Turns - Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Hua Taixiang

“What the ghost did …”

Xiao Chen’s expression became serious. The world was so big that it was full of curiosity. From the Misty Immortal Dimension to Jiuyou’s Yellow Springs, he would rather believe in ghosts and gods than seek revenge. This kind of thing was too ridiculous. He wouldn’t believe it. Everything was done by humans.

“Senior, can you clarify what happened to those people from the Bie Jian Villa?”

Daoist Gudeng took a deep breath. The annihilation of Bie Jian Villa had shocked the entire Immortal North Ancient Realm, so he had personally seen it. Even now, that strange and terrifying scene under dusk was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

“At that time, I went to take a look. There was not the slightest trace of damage to the buildings in the entire villa. That is to say, I did not experience any fighting. As for those people in the villa …”

At this point, a trace of horror appeared in his eyes. It was as if after many years, that scene was still as vivid as yesterday, and it lingered in his mind.

“Those people didn’t have a single wound on their bodies, and their internal organs weren’t damaged. It proves that they didn’t die from their injuries. At that time, I saw all of their eyes wide open. It was as if … they were forcibly deprived of their lives.”

“Someone forcibly took my life …”

Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled, and his face turned a little pale. Hua Weiyang also recognized something. Seeing Xiao Chen’s abnormal expression, he immediately pulled his sleeve and shook his head.

“That’s right.”

Daoist Gudeng nodded, “Those people seemed to have been forcibly taken away in an instant. It was not some people with great divine abilities who took away their souls. At that time, those people were completely dead. Even the flowers, plants, and trees in the entire Bie Jian Villa had withered …”

“Even the flowers, plants, and trees have withered …”

At this moment, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Xiao Chen’s back. Could it be …

Daoist Gudeng continued, “Back then, that incident became a mystery in the Ancient Realm. No one knows who did it. As it spread, it became the work of ghosts and monsters. Today, the Bie Jian Villa is still covered by dark clouds for more than ten kilometers. Every cloudy day when the wind rises, ghosts cry. As time goes by, no one dares to go there.”

“Senior, wait.”

Hua Weiyang suddenly loosened Xiao Chen’s sleeve and asked, “At that time, everyone in the entire village was killed. Not a single one of them was left alive?”

“That’s right, it’s like this.” Daoist Gudeng nodded.

Hua Weiyang’s eyes narrowed slightly. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Could it be that no one really survived? If that’s the case, wouldn’t the clue be cut off from here …

After a while, Daoist Gudeng looked at the two of them and asked doubtfully, “Little friend Wu Chen, Miss Wei Yang, why did the two of you suddenly ask me about this? Could it be that person from back then? Do you know?”

Xiao Chen remained silent. He was still thinking about the destruction of the Bie Jian Villa. Hua Weiyang raised his head and shook his head, “I just happened to hear about it. That’s why I asked Senior.”

“Is that so …”

Daoist Gudeng stroked his beard. Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything, he naturally didn’t ask any further. Seeing that Xiao Chen was still absent-minded, he said, “Come, Wu Chen, come to me in two days. I’ll help you stabilize your cultivation.”

Xiao Chen regained his senses and slightly cupped his hands. “Then I’ll have to trouble Senior.” After saying that, they exchanged glances with Wei Yang and left.

Daoist Gudeng looked at their departing figures with an indescribable expression in his eyes.

Outside, it was already dusk. On the way back, Xiao Chen lowered his head and remained silent. He was still thinking about what had just happened, especially the destruction of the Bie Jian Villa. Why were the methods of death of those people … so similar to his own control of life and death?

No matter what, he had to personally go to the Bie Jian Villa to take a look. No matter what was strange there, or what kind of resentment it was, it wouldn’t dissipate.

Hua Weiyang saw that he was absent-minded all the way, so he naturally knew what he was thinking. Afraid that he would become depressed in his heart, he smiled slightly and shouted, “Idiot.”

“Ah?”

Only then did Xiao Chen regain his senses. Seeing her smiling sweetly, he asked, “What is it?”

Hua Weiyang took a deep breath of the fragrance of the flowers in the air, and the smile on his face became even brighter. “Shall we go over there and take a look at the valley?”

“Valley …”

Xiao Chen raised his head to see that it was getting late, and then remembered that there was an inexplicable shock coming from the valley. The elder had already instructed him not to go there at will …

“It’s alright. Elder Greenwood said that I can go anywhere on the Heavenly Extreme Peak.” Hua Weiyang looked at him with a smile.

“Then … Alright.”

Xiao Chen nodded, and the two of them changed paths and headed towards the secluded valley of Qingfeng Peak.

Along the way, she saw numerous flowers, swarm of bees and butterflies, and a refreshing fragrance of flowers pervading the air. Hua Weiyang’s mood was quite comfortable. These were all things that she could not see in the Nether Realm, perhaps because she liked the human world.

The two of them walked side by side, their fingers lightly touching each other, but they both stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

Hua Weiyang tilted his head to the side, thinking that he was really a fool, so he pulled his hand and ran forward. He laughed happily and said, “Go over there.”

After walking for a while, Hua Weiyang suddenly turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, “Hey, have you ever pulled someone like this before?”

“I…”

Xiao Chen wanted to say no, but he suddenly remembered that when he was young in Purple Night Peak, he was the same as Qianyu Nichang …

“Humph!”

Seeing that he was in a trance, Hua Weiyang suddenly shook off his hand forcefully. Xiao Chen came back to his senses and looked at her in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m unhappy!”

“Why are you unhappy?”

For a moment, Xiao Chen was even more puzzled. Hua Weiyang glared at him gently, “If you’re unhappy, you’re unhappy. I don’t want to talk to you anymore!” With that, he ran forward alone.

Xiao Chen looked at her departing figure and thought to himself, “She was clearly fine a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, her appearance changed. Could it be that all women in this world are so strange?”

Hua Weiyang wasn’t really unhappy. After a while, he saw a blooming flower on the roadside. He reached out and picked it. He turned around and smiled, “Are you good-looking, idiot?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen slowly walked up and smiled. He took the flower from her hand. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the flower had slowly withered in his hand.

Hua Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Chen’s expression slowly darkened. He said softly, “No matter how beautiful the flowers are, it’s hard to keep the fragrance …”

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang looked at his gradually dimming face and reacted. He reached out and pressed his hand on the back of his hand. A shallow Spiritual Energy poured into it, and the flower immediately came back to life. He smiled and said, “Look, isn’t this good enough?”

As she spoke, she threw the flower into the air, and the flower slowly floated down the valley with the mountain wind.

“The flowers are too fragrant. Let her stay in this valley.”

With that, she lightly smiled and pulled Xiao Chen towards the valley ahead. The breeze was gentle and the fragrance of flowers was soothing. The night gradually covered the sky. There was no moon tonight, but the sky was filled with stars, and it was very bright.

Hua Weiyang pulled him to lie on a lawn and looked at the bright starry sky. After a long time, he smiled softly, “Idiot, do you think the stars tonight are beautiful?”

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. For some reason, he felt that she had become a little strange from the beginning. It was as if she had something to say, but every time she wanted to say something, she stopped.

Hua Weiyang smiled softly and looked at the stars in the sky. He slowly said, “What do you think will happen in the sky? I heard that there is Jade Clear Heaven, High Clear Heaven, High Clear Heaven, High Clear Heaven, and finally the 33 Layered Heaven of Destruction …”

“Li Hentian …”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at the starry sky. He remembered that Master often said that the 33 Heavens were the highest in the Heavens of Hatred. How could mortals ascend to the Immortal Dimension?

Suddenly, he remembered the time when he and Qianyu Nichang were lying under the Jade Tree on the Bipo Jade Platform. Her gaze at that time was so yearning for the Immortal Dimension, like a Fairy who had fallen from the heavens to the mortal world. Who exactly was she …

More than three hundred years ago, something happened in Purple Night Peak more than three hundred years ago. It was as if everything could be connected together.

Controlling life and death, Bie Jian Villa was annihilated overnight …

The life-and-death backlash in his body always felt like he was about to die, or perhaps he was already dead … His thoughts were gradually mixed.

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang suddenly looked at him and said softly, “Don’t think too much, okay? There will definitely be a way for your life and death backlash …”

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen nodded his head gently and no longer thought about it.

Right at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Even in summer, the night in the valley was still a little cold. Wei Yang subconsciously tightened his clothes on his body. Seeing her somewhat frightened appearance, Xiao Chen asked with a frown, “Wei Yang, have you always been afraid of the cold?”

“No, no …”

Hua Weiyang smiled softly, but his words seemed to be hiding something.

The two of them gradually approached. Hua Weiyang gently leaned against his shoulder. After an unknown amount of time, Hua Weiyang slowly closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep peacefully.

“Wei Yang?”

Xiao Chen called out to her softly, but did not respond. Under the dim light, her curved long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly in a dream, “Idiot … If one day …”

“Wei Yang? What did you say …”

Before Xiao Chen could hear what she was saying, his voice gradually faded away. Hua Weiyang fell asleep on his shoulder. Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, not knowing why she was suddenly so tired.

A gentle breeze blew up from below the valley, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, lingering around the two of them.

At dawn the next day, Hua Weiyang woke up slowly. When she woke up, she found that she was already in the room. However, the room was empty. She suddenly felt a little disappointed. When did she fall asleep last night? When did that idiot send him back and when did he leave …

Three days later.

Within the Profound Realm Pavilion in Daoist Gudeng, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and Daoist Gudeng sat behind him to help him. The Genuine energy around the two of them condensed into a faint azure profound light.

After a long time, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. With a slight bit of luck, he felt that his Internal Qi was filled. Every time Daoist Gudeng helped him with his luck, it was as if his cultivation would be able to rise to a higher level and his cultivation would be more stable.

“Little friend, what do you think?”

“Mm … Thank you, Senior.”

Xiao Chen slowly stood up and gradually restrained Genuine energy. Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and stroked his beard, “Little friend, you need to strengthen your cultivation in the next month. I will go into seclusion with the senior brothers of Taiwu for a month. After coming out, I will teach you another divine ability.”
