As the Universe Turns - Chapter 251
Chapter 251 Crisis
Before Mu Baiyu could finish his words, he had already fallen down. Ling Luan’s tears were streaming down her face, and she couldn’t help but cry, “Second Senior Brother, don’t … you can’t die …”
Xiao Chen walked up and pointed his fingers between Mu Baiyu’s eyebrows. After pondering for a moment, he said, “There is still a trace of life aura …”
“But … But …”
Ling Luan’s eyes were still filled with tears. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and turned his wrist to control life and death towards Mu Baiyu.
At this moment, an imperishable aura of life force immediately surged towards Mu Baiyu. This was the first time he had used the Life and Death control technique on a person. In the past, it had been nothing more than flowers and grass.
In a short moment, Mu Baiyu’s face gradually regained some color. A life aura actually returned to his body.
“Liao Wuchen, you …”
This time, Ling Luan was completely stunned. She had always thought that Xiao Chen only had a surge of death energy. Anything that came close to him would lose their lives without exception. However, she did not expect that he still possessed a great divine ability to bring them back to life.
After a while, the signs of life on Mu Baiyu’s body returned. However, he still hadn’t woken up yet. Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his hand and said, “Send him to a safe place first.”
“I know where! I used to make mistakes when I was a child. I always like to hide there. Only Second Senior Brother can find me. Liao Wuchen, come with me!”
Ling Luan immediately carried Mu Baiyu and ran to the other side of the valley. When the time came, it was a stone cave under a cliff. The vegetation outside was abundant and very concealed, so it should not be easy for others to discover it.
The two of them carried Mu Baiyu into the cave. There were still some small footprints inside. They were covered in moss, and there were also small people carved on the rock walls. They had been vaguely erased by the passage of time.
Looking at these childhood memories and the severely injured Second Senior Brother, Ling Luan’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red when he recalled that the Spirit Sect was being invaded by a great enemy today.
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “Otherwise, you can stay here. I’ll go take a look.”
“No …”
Ling Luan shook his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. “I’ll go with you and leave Second Brother here. Those people in Yinshan Sect can’t find him.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He casually set up a restriction at the entrance of the cave and flew over the cliff with Ling Luan.
The two of them headed back to the Mountain Profound Realm. Along the way, they met quite a few people from Yinshan Sect and the Mysterious Mountain. As for the other people that Mu Baiyu had mentioned before he fainted, the two of them hadn’t met for the time being.
When he arrived near the Flower and Leaf Profound Realm, the scene in front of him almost caused Ling Luan to cry out in alarm. Fortunately, Xiao Chen took action in time and covered her mouth from behind, squatting her into the bushes beside the road. Only then did the Ghost Master of Mount Yin and the Mistress of the Profound Underworld not notice.
“Ancestor … grandmother …”
“Shh!”
Xiao Chen held her tightly. There were people from Yinshan Sect and Mysterious Nether Mountain in front of him. Once the two of them were discovered, they would most likely be captured with the presence of the two great Void Harmonious Dao Refiners, the Ghost Master of Mount Yin and the Mysterious Nether Mistress.
On the other side, the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the four Elders of Immovable Mountain had already retreated to guard the entrance to the Profound Realm. Murong Xi’s body was suspended in mid-air. However, looking at her pale face and blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth, it was obvious that she had suffered a serious injury.
However, with Murong Xi’s cultivation and the four Elders of the Unmoving Mountain, even if the Ghost Master of Mount Yin and the Mistress of the Dark Underworld worked together, they might not be able to deal such a heavy blow to her. Obviously, she had been plotted against.
“Grandmother …”
Tears streamed down Ling Luan’s eyes. She had never seen her grandmother suffer such serious injuries. She was afraid that she had no hope of crossing the tribulation. All her years of hard work had been wasted … Grandfather knew how sad it must be. It must be the people from Yinshan Sect and Mystic Underworld Mountain who tricked her and plotted against her!
“Shh …”
Xiao Chen made another silent gesture, trying his best to conceal their auras. Now that the two of them were in the enemy’s midst, a slight carelessness would make the situation of the entire Heavenly Spirit Sect even more worrying.
“Haha …”
In midair, Xuanming Youji covered his mouth and smiled. “Madam Murong, what does it feel like to have the Nine Heavens Ten Gu piercing through your heart?” He said charmingly.
“The Nine Heavens Ten Gu pierces the heart …”
When Ling Luan heard that her grandmother had actually been hit by such a vicious poisonous Gu art from the Mysterious Nether Mountain, her face turned pale with fear. At this moment, she was unable to make a sound, and tears couldn’t help but fall from her face.
“Humph!”
Murong Xi waved her sleeves. Although she had been hit by the most powerful poisonous Gu technique of the Mysterious Nether Mountain and her primordial spirit had also been severely injured, how could the descendants of the Murong Clan be ordinary?
At this moment, she was still calm and unhurried. She looked at the strange black clouds slowly surging in the distance and said in a deep voice, “Those who can secretly cast spells to injure the old body’s primordial spirit, the one in the dark clouds no longer need to hide it.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect were even more shocked. They all raised their heads and looked towards the northern horizon. They saw that strange black cloud slowly approaching. As it approached, the black cloud slowly spread out, revealing a figure inside.
“Patriarch Guituo!”
When they saw the person hiding in the black clouds, many disciples were even more shocked. They saw that person wearing a black battle robe, his face was also hidden under the battle robe, but his entire body was shrouded in black gas. If this aura wasn’t Patriarch Guituo of the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain, who else could it be?
This time, the disciples finally understood. No wonder grandmother was severely injured all of a sudden. So it was like this! It was actually Patriarch Guituo who was behind the plot!
Just now, in order to retreat from the enemy, Murong Xi had condensed the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Execution Array. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, his origin soul was heavily injured by a mysterious soul force. And who else could be so proficient in soul techniques other than Patriarch Guituo of Mount Ghost Tuoluo?
This person had been hiding in the dark clouds from the beginning, and was waiting for an opportunity to heavily injure Murong Xi. After hurting Murong Xi, Xuanming Youji took action in an instant, injecting a Nine Heavens Ten Gu into Murong Xi’s body to pierce his heart.
If it weren’t for this kind of poisonous scheme, how could he seriously injure the descendants of the Murong clan?
“Grandmother …”
At this moment, Ling Luan was hiding in the bushes. Seeing Patriarch Guituo slowly floating in the air, he gritted his teeth in hatred. It turned out that this person was plotting against his grandmother! Otherwise, with her grandmother’s cultivation, who would be able to injure her so badly here?
“Haha …”
Patriarch Guituo floated in the air, his black robe floating in the air, and he slowly approached. He smiled gloomily and said, “If not for this, who in this world would be able to resist Madam Murong’s’ Three Thousand Water Moon Mirror Flower Technique ‘?”
At this moment, all the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect held their breaths. Grandmother’s cultivation was undoubtedly above the Sect Master’s. It turned out that what these people truly feared was not the Sect Master and the four Elders of Immovable Mountain, but Grandmother!
Once Grandmother came out of seclusion, they were bound to retreat, so they had to try to severely injure Grandmother. Now that Grandmother was seriously injured, what should they do this time?
