As the Universe Turns - Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Cold Rain Night

The hall was exceptionally quiet. No one spoke. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “If that’s the case, I’m sorry … I am can’t do it.”

Hearing this, the outside of the hall was even more stunned. This person …

They never imagined that this person would reject them outright. To be able to enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect and marry the granddaughter of the Sect Master, this was something that no one in the Ancient Realm could even imagine. He actually …

At this moment, Ling Luan was also absent-minded. He stared at him blankly, unable to tell how he felt. The things that kept popping up in his mind were still the things he had first met in Celestial Pogoda, and the things that had happened since.

Chu Tianqing slightly focused his gaze. He knew that this matter would not be so easy, but he did not expect that he would refuse so straightforwardly. He said, “If what I expected was not wrong, the backlash from Little Friend Wu Chen’s body has already entered the bone marrow. There is no medicine to cure it. There is at most three months left.”

“Life and death are destined, how can we force it?”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly stood up and looked at Hua Weiyang, “Weiyang, let’s go.”

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Tianqing, who was sitting at the head of the hall, and said, “Does the Sect Master have any other requests?”

Chu Tianqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his attitude was still firm, “This is the only condition.”

The entire hall fell into silence again. Xiao Chen slowly turned around and calmly said, “Life is good, life is good, and death is good. Wei Yang and I have already sworn an oath. Even if we want to marry in this life, she will be the only one who will not change until death.”

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang raised her head and looked at him. At this moment, all she had was an indescribable bitterness. Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Chen had already pulled her out of the hall.

The people on both sides of the hall remained silent. They watched as the two of them walked out. When the two of them arrived at the hall’s entrance, Chu Tianqing suddenly called out to them, “Wait.”

“Sect Master, what else can I do for you?”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned around to ask.

Chu Tianqing’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a deep voice, “The backlash on your body is already at the late stage. If it continues to drag on, even if you have the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the heavens. Do you really not regret stepping out of this hall?”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Sect Leader Chu, are you underestimating I am too much? If you break the oath just to survive, do you think that your Heavenly Spirit Sect will be able to deal with such a person?”

This sentence caused everyone to be stunned on the spot. Ling Luan also stared blankly at him, “Wu Chen …”

Xiao Chen looked at her slowly and said, “Thank you, Ling Luan.” After saying that, he didn’t stop any longer and pulled Hua Weiyang outside.

It wasn’t until he and Hua Weiyang’s figures disappeared from the square that everyone in Heavenly Spirit Sect began to discuss. Meanwhile, Chu Tianqing was still sitting in the main hall, motionlessly looking in the direction the two of them had left in and remained silent.

After a long time, Ling Luan looked at him with red eyes. “Is Grandpa satisfied now? You don’t understand … I’ve always treated Wu Chen as my brother. It’s not what you think. I hate you guys. I’m going back to the Heaven’s Pagoda and I’m never coming back …” As he said that, tears flowed out of his eyes as he ran out crying.

“Ling Luan!”

Chu Tianqing stretched out his hand. In the end, he sighed lightly and slowly put his hand back.

…

After Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang left Heavenly Spirit Sect, the sky gradually darkened after they traveled more than a hundred miles north.

Because Xiao Chen’s injuries were just right, he couldn’t rush forward. He arrived at a valley in front of him. Hua Weiyang helped him walk into the valley. “Let’s go to the valley in front and rest for the night. I’ll help you with your cultivation.”

At this moment, a death aura gradually appeared on Xiao Chen’s body. It was obvious that he had overdone his luck a few days ago, causing the life and death backlash to arrive ahead of schedule.

“Are you still able to hold on?”

“Nothing …”

Xiao Chen shook his hand. The two of them went to the valley in front and found a hidden cave. Hua Weiyang immediately circulated the Lianhua Xiyi Art to help him resist the backlash in his body.

At midnight, a bright moon gradually rose to the top of the mountain, illuminating the entire valley. In the cave where Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang were, the flowers and trees outside gradually withered.

Even with Hua Weiyang’s Lianhua Xiyi Art, the death energy in Xiao Chen’s body could no longer be suppressed.

As Chu Tianqing had said, the backlash on his body was already at the late stage. Unless it was the seed of the evergreen leaves, there was nothing else that could resist the death energy in his body.

“Idiot, hold on for a while longer …”

Hua Weiyang’s entire body was soaked in sweat, and his hands were still forming seals with incessant incantations. He used Lianhua’s Xiyi incantation to treat the backlash on his body. However, this time, the life and death backlash could not be suppressed no matter what.

By the third night, Xiao Chen’s death aura was getting heavier and heavier. The vegetation around the cave had withered, and the sky had suddenly started to rain. In such a cold night, the death aura of the entire valley was pervading, making it seem strange.

“Wei Yang, don’t worry about me … You leave first …”

Xiao Chen’s entire body was wrapped in a deathly aura, and there was a deathly aura between his eyebrows. His pupils gradually turned purple and black, and his appearance was already somewhat terrifying.

“Idiot, don’t talk. Hold on!”

Hua Weiyang quickly changed the seal with both his hands and injected several Genuine energy into his body. However, even so, it was unable to stop the death energy in his body from spreading.

“Wei Yang … hurry up and leave, I will hurt you. Let’s go …”

Xiao Chen was already doing his best to support himself. The death aura on his body became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually became blurry under the backlash of the death aura.

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang’s face was deathly pale, and he quickly sent a divine sense into the Soul Jade, “Senior Ku Lingzi! Do you have a way? Quickly come out …”

“Alas!”

Ku Lingzi let out a sigh and quickly appeared from the Soul Jade. His two fingers condensed and instantly injected a strand of soul power into Xiao Chen’s body. However, even so, he was no longer able to resist this monstrous aura of death.

“No, this brat’s death aura is too heavy. You and I need to leave immediately …”

This time, even Ku Lingzi’s expression became very serious. Hua Weiyang was slightly shocked, “But” Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly sent her out with a palm strike, “Let’s go!”

“Idiot!”

Hua Weiyang’s body soared into the air and he stretched out his hand to grab at him. Xiao Chen maintained the last trace of sobriety. With a movement of his palm, he grabbed a huge boulder from the sky and sealed the entire cave with a “bang”.

“Xiao Yichen …”

Hua Weiyang landed on the ground. She was still in a daze as she stared blankly at the sealed cave. There was no sound coming from the cave. Sudden winds and rain continued to rain all around her, and her entire body was quickly soaked.

“Wait … something’s wrong!”

Ku Lingzi seemed to have sensed something at this moment. He instantly extended his hand to protect her. At this moment, a terrifying aura of death suddenly surged out from the cave, instantly turning everything in the vicinity into nothingness.
