As the Universe Turns - Chapter 247
Chapter 247 Poisoning
“Ah!”
When his arm was cut off by someone, Wan Ye immediately screamed miserably. Blood poured out from his broken shoulder, dyeing half of his body red. His appearance was extremely terrifying.
Ling Luan was still in shock. He raised his head and stared blankly at the person holding him. He muttered, “Oh … Liao Wuchen …”
Xiao Chen hugged her lightly and landed on the ground. He looked at the Gu Pill that he had seized between his fingers. His eyes were cold as he flicked it lightly and threw it into the bushes beside the road.
“Ling’er!”
Mrs. Jiang ran over and hugged Ling Luan. Her voice was already choked with sobs. Just now, that scene had frightened her.
Right at this moment, a powerful Spiritual Energy suddenly penetrated from afar. Many disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect were refreshed. Looking up, they saw a figure approaching at an extremely fast speed. In the vicinity, there was an old woman with snow-white hair.
“It’s grandmother! Grandmother is here!”
The old woman walked over from the sky. She wore a dark green robe and held a sandalwood staff. On the staff was a green pearl. This person was Chu Tianqing’s wife, Murong Xi. The disciples below affectionately addressed her as “grandmother”.
“Grandmother …”
When Ling Luan saw her grandmother arrive, she was also stunned for a moment. Murong Xi stepped on the void and her aura was extremely mellow. Her cultivation was not below Chu Tianqing’s. She landed in front of Ling Luan and reached out to gently caress her face. “Ling’er, are you alright?”
When she arrived just now, she saw everything from afar. Fortunately, she was not in danger. She looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Young Hero Wu Chen, thank you very much.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and thought to himself, “This senior is Ling Luan’s grandmother. She lent me that sword in the Lingyun Trial last time, but why is the aura on her different from the others …”
At this moment, Murong Xi also looked at him quietly. He thought to himself that this child was the Ling’er that Liao Wuchen often mentioned. He was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, on his body, why …
“So it’s Mrs. Chu. Nice to meet you.”
Right at this moment, Xuan Ming You Ji’s laughter suddenly came from not far away. Murong Xi withdrew his gaze from Xiao Chen and extended his hand to protect Ling Luan behind him. He said coldly, “When you offend my Heavenly Spirit Sect today, I have already arrived. If you have any self-knowledge, please retreat a hundred miles away!”
As soon as these words were spoken, they seemed to be even more intimidating than the four Elders of Immovable Mountain. The Ghost Master of Mount Yin’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, “As expected of one of the legendary six ancient races … the descendants of the Murong clan.”
Suddenly, Murong Xi rushed over and the situation finally eased. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Ling Luan, “Where’s Wei Yang?”
Only then did Ling Luan regain her senses and say, “Sister Wei Yang is in the Flower and Leaf Profound Realm at the back of the mountain.”
“Take me there.”
Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He had come for Hua Wei Yang. He was too lazy to care about the grudges between the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Yin Mountain Sect. Moreover, with the Murong Clan present, there was no need for him to take action.
“Mm-hmm!”
Ling Luan nodded her head forcefully. When Mrs. Jiang saw that she was going to the back mountain again, she stretched out her hand and said, “Ling’er, wait!”
Xiao Chen knew the worries in Jiang shi’s heart, so he turned to look at her and said, “She will be fine.”
“Yes!”
Ling Luan nodded again and looked at his mother. “Mother, don’t worry. I’m with Liao Wuchen and no one can hurt me.”
She didn’t know why, but as long as she saw this man appear in front of her, she felt a sense of security that no one could replace. Every time she encountered danger, he would suddenly appear in front of her like a deity, rescuing her from the tribulation of life and death.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen did not stay any longer. He immediately followed her back to the Mountain Profound Realm. When he arrived, he discovered that the entrance to the Profound Realm was completely sealed and no one could enter.
“Wei Yang …”
Along the way, he naturally learned everything from Ling Luan. For his sake, Wei Yang actually … At this moment, the Spiritual Energy outside the Profound Realm surged. Obviously, Wei Yang was using his own Spiritual Energy to fill the Spiritual Energy Connection Cracks in the Spiritual Mountain. However, how much Spiritual Energy would she consume? No … no!
“Wei Yang!”
Xiao Chen rushed to the entrance of the Profound Realm and shouted, “Wei Yang! What are you doing … stop! You’ll run out of spiritual energy!”
Inside the Profound Realm, Hua Weiyang’s face was already somewhat pale. It was obvious that she had exhausted too much spiritual energy during the night. At this moment, she heard shouts from outside, but she could not stop. She had to repair the spiritual energy connection of the Spirit Mountain to obtain the seed of the evergreen flower leaves.
“Wei Yang! Did you hear me?”
Xiao Chen stood outside the Profound realm and did not dare to rashly barge in. Otherwise, it would only cause Spiritual Energy inside to become unstable and harm Hua Weiyang instead.
When Chu Tianqing and the others inside heard the shouts from outside, they couldn’t help but frown deeply. This time, letting Hua Weiyang repair the Spiritual Energy connection alone was indeed extremely depleting for Hua Weiyang. Although they felt a little guilty, there was nothing they could do about it.
“Sect Leader Chu, don’t worry about him. Continue to maintain the Spiritual Energy Array.”
Hua Weiyang’s heart skipped a beat. Regardless of how Xiao Chen shouted outside, she was determined to exchange for the seeds of evergreen flowers and leaves today.
Xiao Chen shouted outside for a long time, but she couldn’t hear Hua Weiyang’s reply. At this moment, Ling Luan walked up and lost her mind. She whispered, “Wu Chen, now that the entrance to the Profound Realm has been sealed, Big Sister Wei Yang ignores you, what should we do?”
Xiao Chen paced back and forth at the entrance and finally sent a message to Hua Weiyang, “Wei Yang, did you hear me? Answer me.”
“Don’t worry about me, idiot. It will be fine. I have already agreed with Sect Master Chu that as long as Hua Weiyang is restored, he will give me the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves. He will definitely not break his promise.” Spiritual Energy’s heart was filled with mixed emotions when he received the message from his divine will.
Hearing that it was really for his own sake, Xiao Chen felt even more miserable in his heart. “Why didn’t you tell me? Are you just randomly messing around? Hua Weiyang, let me tell you, if you lose this time, even if you put the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed in front of me, I will never look at it again!”
“Idiot …”
Hua Weiyang felt bitter in his heart. He endured the tears in his eyes and said, “Trust me, I will really be fine. This time, will you listen to me?”
Xiao Chen pinched his finger. He knew that he couldn’t talk to her anymore and asked, “Then what should I do now? What can I help you with?”
Hua Weiyang said, “The people from Yinshan Sect are coming. They want to destroy the Spiritual Energy connection. You must not let them barge in.”
“Alright …”
Xiao Chen pinched his finger and turned around to walk back. Seeing him walk back, Ling Luan muttered, “What did Sister Wei Yang say?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, shook his head, and sat down cross-legged on the ground. He circulated his cultivation to regulate his breathing. A moment later, he suddenly let out a muffled snort. The space between his eyebrows was also slightly darker. Seeing this, Ling Luan asked, “What happened to you, Wu Chen?”
“Lingluan … can you do me a favor?” Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at her.
“Mm-hmm!” Ling Luan nodded her head and looked at him in surprise. This was the first time he had asked for his help. She didn’t know what it was and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
Xiao Chen clutched his chest and slowly stood up, “I’m poisoned. The poison has entered my organs …”
