As the Universe Turns - Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Negotiation

“Shit …”

Seeing the wound on his left shoulder, Xiao Chen immediately knew that he had been poisoned. However, the poison was not intense and urgent. If he could still activate the poison, he could still force it out in time. However, he was unable to activate the poison now. In less than three moments, the poison would enter his internal organs. At that time, he feared that the antidote would be necessary.

Now that he was in the wilderness, how could he cure this poison?

Xiao Chen raised his head and looked in the direction of Spirit Mountain. The night was dark and the mountain range seemed to be looming. He was unable to chase after Wei Yang now. This place was a hundred miles away from Spirit Mountain. If he was at his peak, he would be able to ride his sword in an instant. However, he was poisoned. He was afraid that he had died before he arrived.

“This time, it’s good that I, Xiao Yichen, didn’t die from the life and death backlash. I died from the poison of Yinshan Sect. I suppose Ku Lingzi’s Three Lives Curse Oath won’t break out, right?”

He smiled self-deprecatingly. He couldn’t care about that much anymore. At this moment, he couldn’t circulate his cultivation, so he used the acupoint-pointing technique to seal the acupoint beneath his left shoulder to prevent the toxin from spreading throughout his body.

In the boundless mountains, he walked for more than ten kilometers. Under the dim light, he suddenly saw a stream. He quickly walked over and tore open the clothes on his shoulder. He cleaned the wound. Then, he went to the nearby area to find a bush of grass and sat quietly inside to see if he could use it.

…

Heavenly Spirit Sect, Flower and Leaf Profound

Hearing the gloomy voice behind them, Hua Wei Yang and Ling Luan were both shocked. They turned around and saw Second Elder Chu Tianyun standing in front of them at an unknown time.

“Second … Second uncle.”

Ling Luan’s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously moved closer to Hua Wei Yang. Normally, Second Elder was very strict. The night was dark, and for some reason, it made him look even more terrifying.

“What are you doing here …”

Chu Tianyun’s expression was gloomy as he walked closer to the two of them. Ling Luan clenched her hands tightly and slowly retreated step by step. She muttered, “I … I came to see, see the flowers and leaves are evergreen … Second uncle, why … why are you here all of a sudden …”

“If I don’t come, are you planning to bring out the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed … hmm?”

Chu Tianyun’s expression instantly became even harsher, and his two gazes were as cold as the edge of a sword, causing people to tremble with fear.

Ling Luan couldn’t help but shiver. Looking at Second Granduncle’s stern gaze, it was as if he had fallen into a cold pond. She said in a trembling voice, “No … no, I, Big Sister Wei Yang and I just … just came to see why the leaves of the evergreen flowers would wither …”

“Withered …”

Chu Tianyun’s expression was gloomy, “How could the leaves of the flowers and leaves wither? It’s the two of you who came here late at night …”

“I don’t think Second Elder needs to hide anything anymore.”

At this moment, Hua Wei Yang was much calmer than Ling Luan. Looking at Chu Tianyun, who was getting closer and closer, he said indifferently, “There is a branch of the Earth Spirit Vein beneath the Spirit Mountain, so the Spirit Qi has not declined for thousands of years. However, for some reason, the Spirit Mountain’s Spirit Energy is about to disconnect from this branch. Now, it is only thanks to the Spirit Energy of a few elders that it can barely lock this branch … Am I right?”

Not only did Chu Tianyun’s eyes narrow when he said this, Ling Luan’s expression also changed. She subconsciously looked at Hua Wei Yang. Why didn’t she know how Sister Wei Yang knew about such a big matter? From the looks of Second Granduncle, it seemed that what Sister Wei Yang had said was true.

“Cough cough …”

At this moment, another cough came from the darkness, startling Ling Luan. When she saw that it was her grandfather, she heaved a sigh of relief, “Grandfather …”

“Second Elder, why are you here?”

The one who came was Chu Tianqing. Strangely, he did not ask why Ling Luan and Hua Wei Yang were here first, but why Chu Tianyun was here first.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle. Chu Tianyun turned around and explained, “I just sensed something strange here, so I came to take a look. Unfortunately, I ran into Ling Luan and Miss Wei Yang here.”

“Mm …”

Chu Tianqing slowly walked over and looked at Ling Luan who was hiding behind him. He then looked at Hua Wei Yang and said, “A few days ago, Miss Wei Yang had already gone down the mountain. Tonight, why did she appear in the Profound Realm of our Heavenly Spirit Sect?”

Hua Weiyang looked at him with an unusually calm expression and said, “I am here for the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves.”

The moment this was said, Ling Luan was shocked. Breaking into Spirit Mountain was already a serious crime, so why did Sister Wei Yang still speak her mind bluntly at this moment? But even if she didn’t say anything, could it be that Chu Tianqing and Chu Tianyun couldn’t see the purpose of her coming late at night?

Ling Luan took two cowardly steps forward and looked at her grandfather in front of her. She whispered, “Grandfather … Is what Big Sister Wei Yang just said true? Is the Spiritual Energy of our Spiritual Mountain really going to disappear …”

Chu Tianqing frowned slightly and did not say anything. His gaze was still fixed on Hua Weiyang and he said, “I made it very clear that day. Could it be that Miss Wei Yang wants me to repeat it again?”

Hua Weiyang smiled. At this moment, he still appeared calm and composed. He said indifferently, “I know what Sect Master Chu is thinking is just for the sake of the Spiritual Energy of Spirit Mountain being cut off. However, this matter may not require the repair of the Spiritual Energy connection as Sect Master Chu planned.”

“What did you say …”

This time, Chu Tianyun’s expression froze. His eyes were like torches as he tried to see through the woman in front of him. The woman in front of him was even more mysterious than Wu Chen. However, he discovered that he could not see through her.

At this moment, Chu Tianqing’s expression gradually became serious. “Since Miss Wei Yang has already seen the danger of our Heavenly Spirit Sect, then I won’t hide it anymore. However, even the elders and I are unable to repair this matter of Spiritual Energy. I wonder how Miss Wei Yang will be able to repair it,” he said.

“So … it’s really like this.”

Ling Luan’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. The Spiritual Mountain’s Spiritual Energy was about to dry up, but she actually didn’t know anything. Grandfather and a few elders had actually concealed this matter so deeply …

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little scared. Just how many more things did she not know? Grandpa insisted that Wu Chen marry him. Could it be that it was also for the sake of Spirit Mountain Spiritual Energy?

Hua Weiyang smiled gently and said confidently, “Since I said that I can repair the Spiritual Energy connection for you, I will definitely be able to do so. However, I want Sect Head Chu to agree. After this is done, I will take away the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves.”

Chu Tianyun knew that this woman in front of him was extraordinary, but this matter was very big. He still wanted to ask clearly. Ning Mei said, “Sect Master and I, how can we believe that you can repair the Spiritual Energy connection of Spirit Mountain?”

“Very simple.”

Hua Weiyang smiled faintly and slowly walked under the evergreen tree. His palm pressed against the tree trunk, and a Spiritual Energy poured into it. At this moment, the entire tree shone with a dazzling brilliance, reflecting the surroundings as bright as day.

A strong wind blew in the surroundings. Such an endless Spiritual Energy immediately sensed the spiritual vein branches underground. Hua Weiyang flowed around her endlessly, reflecting her like a celestial.

At this moment, Chu Tianqing and Chu Tianyun were stunned. If they hadn’t seen this scene with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have dared to believe that this woman in front of them, Spiritual Energy, was actually so strong!
