As the Universe Turns - Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Spin

The atmosphere suddenly became as cold as ice, causing the originally gloomy Secluded Hall to become even colder and more frightening.

More than a dozen figures appeared outside, and then another figure flew out from the back hall. It was as fast as lightning. Before the wind could reach, a cold dagger had already pressed down on Xiao Chen’s throat.

“You guys … are so bold.”

That person’s voice was gloomy, but it was a man wearing a black robe and a battle hat. The man’s eyes were as cold as frost, and there was a red mark between his eyebrows. He was able to move so fast, and his cultivation was clearly extraordinary. He was Patriarch Guituo’s Eldest Disciple, Feng Zhuyun, but he was different from those ordinary disciples outside.

At this moment, the atmosphere became even colder. Patriarch Guituo’s cold-bladed gaze landed on Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang. He walked down the platform step by step and said in a low voice, “Where is the other Soul Altar?”

This time, the Ye Clan had contributed a total of thirteen Soul Altars to Patriarch Guituo, including the one in Ku Lingzi, but now there were only twelve. With Patriarch Guituo’s temperament, how could he not be suspicious?

Feng Zhuyun’s cold dagger landed on Xiao Chen’s throat and said coldly, “Didn’t you hear what Master asked you?”

At the moment when the atmosphere was as cold as frost, Hua Weiyang smiled and ordered the atmosphere to ease. “Ancestor, don’t be anxious. I presume the Grand Duchess told you that there is a person’s soul inside this time. Therefore, when the Grand Duchess comes out of seclusion, he will personally deliver it to the Ancestor.”

“Oh?”

Patriarch Guituo looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “Whose soul does Ye Zhiqiu need to personally deliver?”

Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “The Patriarch will know at that time that the reason why the Grand Duchess wants to come here personally in half a year is actually that there is one more thing … This junior is not convenient to say more here. Please forgive me.”

“Huh?”

Patriarch Guituo narrowed his eyes. Previously, when he heard that Ye Zhiqiu was coming to the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain personally, he was already doubtful. Now that he heard that Ye Zhiqiu had something else to do, he believed it. He coldly snorted in his heart. This Ye Zhiqiu really wouldn’t give away his treasure without anything.

“Forget it, it’s just a small matter.”

Patriarch Guituo waved his hand. Feng Zhuyun put away the dagger and returned to his side. However, his gaze was still cold towards Xiao Chen.

Patriarch Guituo looked at the two of them again. “You guys go. I’ll have the soul yuan given to you.”

“Thank you, Patriarch …”

Xiao Chen followed Ye Lingfeng’s example and smiled.

“Don’t worry.”

Patriarch Guituo’s eyes suddenly turned cold again. He stretched out his hand and a mysterious force enveloped him. Dark winds immediately rose in the hall. Obviously, Patriarch Guituo was using the Soul Searching Technique on him.

However, the current Soul Searching Technique was only searching for a Soul Altar in Xiao Chen’s sleeve, not his memories. After all, the Soul Searching Technique had searched for his Primordial Spirit Memories, causing his Primordial Spirit to suffer injuries. Now that Xiao Chen was Ye Lingfeng’s identity, Patriarch Guituo did not want to do anything to the Ye Clan members.

After a while, Patriarch Ghost Tuo retracted his hand. Xiao Chen still had a smile on his face, but he was secretly sweating in his heart. Fortunately, Wei Yang had foresight. This morning, he asked him to place Ku Lingzi’s Soul Altar on her.

“Mm … you guys go. Someone will give you the soul essence.”

As Patriarch Guituo spoke, he walked back to the high platform. Hua Wei Yang suddenly said, “Actually, there’s something else I want to trouble Patriarch with this time …”

“Mm … what is it?”

Patriarch Guituo turned around and frowned slightly. Although the Ye Clan had brought him many spirit pills and souls over the years, he would not do business at a loss. Hence, he couldn’t help but think carefully when he heard the other party say that there was something troublesome to do.

Hua Wei Yang smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. Earlier, the ancestor gave Second Elder several Soul Devouring Curse Symbols. Coincidentally, Second Elder grabbed two people and used the Soul Devouring Curse Symbols on them not long ago, but now, he can’t unseal them and can’t search for their primordial spirits, so he wants to ask …”

At this point, she stopped and carefully observed the change in expression on the other party’s face.

“Hmph.”

Patriarch Guituo snorted coldly and said unhappily, “So you want to take two Seal Release Talismans from me, right?”

Hua Weiyang smiled embarrassedly and said, “Exactly … That’s why I wanted to ask the Patriarch to do something convenient. The two of them are not ordinary people. They have something the Second Elder wants, so the Second Elder hasn’t told Taigong yet. I hope that the Patriarch won’t mention this matter to Taigong.”

“Humph!”

Patriarch Guituo flicked his sleeves and looked at the two of them. He naturally knew about the battle in the Ye Clan. Which of the elders didn’t want to bring down the other party?

But what does this have to do with his Ghost Tuoluo Mountain? Why does he want to give favors without any good reason? “Who did Ye Qinghe catch? Tell me about it.”

Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “To be honest with Patriarch, the two people Second Elder captured were Liao Wuchen, who had caused a commotion in the Eastern Region a while ago. The other one was a woman he knew, and he still doesn’t know who she is.”

“Oh?”

Patriarch Guituo’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had naturally heard of this Liao Wuchen. To be able to seize the power of Azure Dragon in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was no ordinary person. He never thought that he would actually teach that little old man Ye Qinghe to capture it. He was going to get a share of this.

He snorted coldly and pretended to be unhappy, “Since it’s Ye Qinghe’s personal matter, what does it have to do with me? It’s not easy to refine this Seal Release Talisman. You said you wanted it, but you still wanted two. Did you bring that thing with you?” After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, “If you don’t bring anything, then leave. I won’t give you credit.”

Seeing his cunning and cunning expression, Hua Weiyang and Xiao Chen looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. However, this was also good.

Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “Second Elder only needs some things from those two people. As for the souls of those two people, Second Elder said that he will personally deliver them to Ghost Tuoluo Mountain at that time.”

“Mm …”

Patriarch Guituo slowly walked back to the two of them and said gloomily, “You two, if you dare to lie to me, be it Ye Qinghe or the two of you, you will taste the taste of the Soul Refining Furnace’s seven fries and seven boils …”

Hua Weiyang smiled bitterly and said, “Even if you give my siblings a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare to deceive the Patriarch.”

“It’s good to know …”

Patriarch Guituo circled around the two of them and asked, “Tell me, when did you catch them? How many people in the Ye Family know about this?”

Hua Weiyang had already thought of a wording and said, “Just over half a month ago, Second Elder did not tell anyone about this matter. After all, the Patriarch also knew about it. Now that the Ye Clan elders have their own thoughts, it is not for disciples to guess …”

“Alright.”

Patriarch Guituo nodded and said, “I forgive you for not daring to lie.”

As he spoke, he took out two sealed talismans from his sleeve. Just as Hua Weiyang was about to reach out to take them, he put his hand back and looked at the two suspiciously. “But why do I always feel that this matter is somewhat strange?”

Hua Weiyang bitterly smiled and said, “How is Second Elder? Could it be that Patriarch doesn’t understand? The souls of those two people aren’t very useful to Second Elder …”

“This is also …”

Patriarch Guituo reached out and stroked his beard. Just as he was about to hand her the two Seal Release Talismans, a disciple suddenly came in from outside. “Master, there are two people from the Ye Clan who said they want to see you.”
