As the Universe Turns - Chapter 264
Chapter 264 An Old Affair
“You two, why are you hesitating?” Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Ku Lingzi turned around and asked.
Hua Weiyang smiled gently, “Senior, it would be great for you to come with us this time.”
However, he thought to himself, what exactly did Ku Lingzi say to Fairy Su Wen? Why did it suddenly become a little strange? Even though he had no choice but to follow him to Xianyuan Five Realms because of the Three Lives Curse Oath, if it had been before, he would have definitely said a lot and even made a condition. But how could he say it so easily at this moment?
“Are you two wondering why I went to Xianyuan Five Realms with you so easily?”
Ku Lingzi seemed to have seen through her thoughts. There were actually many reasons why he wanted to go to Xianyuan Five Realms this time. One of them was that he had too many enemies in the Immortal North Ancient Realm. Now that his strength had greatly retreated, it was better to follow the two of them to Xianyuan Five Realms and slowly recover his strength.
“Of course not.”
Hua Weiyang smiled gently and walked out, “However, has Senior given an explanation on Fairy Su Wen’s side?”
“Su Ling’er, there’s no need for you to worry. It’s getting late. Let’s go.” Ku Lingzi waved his sleeve and walked forward.
Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang exchanged a glance before following behind.
After leaving Tianshan Mountain, Ku Lingzi turned around and said, “Brat, how many enemies do you have on Xianyuan Five Realms’s side?”
“A lot.”
Xiao Chen simply said two words.
“A lot? How many are there, for example?”
Ku Lingzi narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
“For example, there are countless stars in the sky.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Hearing what he said, even Hua Weiyang, who was behind him, was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Ku Lingzi’s expression was getting gloomy, he immediately reacted and smiled, “He is joking with Senior. Senior, don’t take it seriously.”
“Brat …”
Ku Lingzi looked coldly at Xiao Chen. If he hadn’t been bound by the Three Lives Curse Oath, he really wished he could slap this brat half to death before slowly teaching him how to “respect” his elders.
…
Half a month later, the two of them arrived at the mountain range at the edge of the Southern Region. They passed through this mountain range, which was the Death Desert. At noon this day, Hua Weiyang suddenly stopped. Seeing her suddenly stop, Xiao Chen asked, “Wei Yang, what’s wrong?”
Hua Weiyang turned around and looked all the way, whispering, “Idiot, why do I always feel like there’s someone following me all the way?”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t seem to care much. Hua Weiyang turned around and looked at him. “Then go straight into the desert now?”
“No …”
Xiao Chen shook his head, “Let’s go to a place first.”
“Let’s go to a place first?” Hua Weiyang looked at him and thought for a moment before he understood. He nodded and said, “Alright.”
The next morning, the two of them arrived near Berserk Sand Castle. Naturally, Xiao Chen remembered the terrain here. At this time, Ku Lingzi also appeared from the Soul Jade. He looked at the boundless yellow sand in front of him and said, “There is a strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation in front of him. Kid, what are you doing there?”
“Go ahead and inquire about someone.”
Xiao Chen said slowly, then slowly looked at him, “If it’s not bad, it should be the person Senior wanted to seize the house from more than 300 years ago.”
“Oh?”
Ku Lingzi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately thought of the thrilling scene when he failed to seize the dwelling, and even now, he was still trembling with fear.
Many years ago, when he fought against the heavenly tribulation, he was assassinated by several great enemies. In the end, he had no choice but to give up his fleshly body to protect his primordial spirit. Many years later, he was unable to find a perfect fleshly body.
Until one day, he suddenly discovered a severely wounded and dying person, and he also discovered that that person’s physical body was extremely suitable for him. However, he was fully prepared to succeed in seizing it, but he did not expect that under that person’s dying state, there was actually such a strong will that caused him to fail in seizing it, instead, his primordial spirit was severely injured.
Just as he was about to go all out to try his last time, a black wind suddenly swept over from afar and swept away the seriously injured man in an instant. The terrifying aura emitted by the black wind still made him feel a little scared.
“Senior … what’s wrong?”
Hua Weiyang asked tentatively when he saw that Ku Lingzi’s expression had suddenly changed.
“It’s fine.”
Ku Lingzi regained his senses and looked in the direction where the Spiritual Energy from the formation came from. In fact, he had always wanted to know who the person he wanted to seize was. Even an expert at the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm could easily seize the other party with his soul power at that time.
However, the severely injured and dying young man had almost lost his life aura at that time. He was actually unable to successfully seize it. What was even stranger was who exactly was inside the black wind that came from behind … Everything seemed to be extremely strange.
“Then … let’s go.”
Hua Weiyang did not hesitate any longer and immediately went to Berserk Sand Castle with Xiao Chen. The person they were inquiring about would probably be found out very soon.
When the three of them arrived at Berserk Sand Castle, Granny Meng saw that it was a man who had been here more than a year ago, as well as the woman who had also come from the other side of the desert. She couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, “It’s you …”
“Senior Meng, long time no see.”
Xiao Chen slightly cupped his hands towards the old woman. He still remembered that when he had just crossed the desert, he had been swept into Wild Sand Castle by a gust of yellow wind. If the old man hadn’t given him the map, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to leave.
It was also Granny Meng who told him that the man who had been waiting for Nian Xiangqin from the other side of the desert had never thought that he would wait for more than three hundred years. Three thousand strands of green hair for white hair.
“Young Hero, you …”
Granny Meng’s gaze focused. When she sensed Xiao Chen’s seemingly invisible aura, her heart couldn’t help but tremble even more. She remembered that more than a year ago, this young man’s cultivation was still below hers, and his current cultivation was probably no longer below hers!
“I told you to leave a year ago, but now, you still dare to come and die!”
Right at this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from the castle. Immediately after, a figure flew out. That person was dressed in red, his white hair was like snow, his eyes were exceptionally cold, his fingers were as fast as lightning, and they were as sharp as blades. He immediately grabbed Xiao Chen’s head.
“Miss … no!”
Granny Meng was shocked. A year ago, this person’s cultivation was already very high. Now that a year had passed, his cultivation was even more unfathomable. Young miss only had three hundred years of cultivation, how could she still be his opponent!
However, Xiao Chen did not make a move. With Nian Xiangqin’s three hundred years of cultivation, even if he stood there, the other party would not be able to hurt him at all.
Nian Xiangqin’s fingers finally stopped a foot away from him, but he did not even blink an eye.
“Humph!”
Nianxiang Qin knew that she was no match for him, so she flicked her sleeve and said coldly, “What are you doing in Berserk Sand Castle today? Could it be that you’re here to avenge that day?”
