As the Universe Turns - Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Again In Dingfeng City
Xiao Chen also stopped and looked at the boundless yellow sand in front of him. He took a deep breath and said, “If my guess is correct, that person is the person who jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff more than 300 years ago. His name is … Shen Cangming.”
“Three hundred years ago, a major event that shocked all sects occurred in the Righteous Dao of Xianyuan. The only disciple of Excellency, the Dark Azure and Purple Night Peak, secretly mastered the Devil Religion and killed many Righteous Dao disciples. Afterwards, the Heavenly Gate confirmed that this person was inserted into Xuan Qing by the Devil Dao early in the morning. It seemed to be related to an ancient scroll passed down from the Xuan Qing Sect’s ancestor.”
Hua Weiyang looked at him. He said quietly, “that man, “It was Shen Cangming. After he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff, there was no news of him. That Purple Night Peak from Excellency had also retired. Since then, the people from the Xuan Qing Sect had never seen that Excellency again. From then on, Purple Night Peak had gradually declined. There was no one else. It was not until many years later that Ling Yin inherited the Purple Night Peak bloodline and became Yaoguang Excellency under the arrangement of her master, Daoist Qingxuan.”
“Wei Yang, how did you know about this?”
Xiao Chen looked at her in surprise. He didn’t expect that even he didn’t know about the dusty past of Xuan Qing Sect. Yet, she was even more clear about who she was than the current disciples of Xuan Qing.
Hua Weiyang smiled gently. He did not intend to answer his question. He looked at the endless desert and continued, “Everyone thought that Shen Cangming was dead. No matter what, they could not find him. However, they did not know that he did not die in that catastrophe. In order to avoid pursuing him, he even crossed the Death Desert alone and went to the Northern Immortal Ancient Realm.”
After listening to her, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Master’s expression changed when he heard the name Shen Cangming. No wonder the entire Xuan Qing Sect kept the matter of more than 300 years a secret. So that’s it …
Thinking about everything, there must be consequences. Even the old man who swept the ground on the Peak Platform was no longer recognized by the current disciples of Xuan Qing. Who would have thought that he would be the Purple Night Peak of Excellency back then? Who would have thought that he would be Shen Cangming’s master?
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. It was only three hundred years ago that shocked the entire Righteous Dao of Xianyuan. The truth had long been buried in the dust and was difficult to trace. All that remained was endless hatred for one person.
“He came back to take revenge.”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen had a bad premonition. Before this, he had been feeling a little uneasy. Now, it seemed that his uneasiness wasn’t without a reason.
Back then, Shen Cangming’s talent wasn’t below Master’s. His current cultivation had probably reached an extremely frightening level. However, this was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was that he was hidden in the dark. No one could find him. In fact, everyone thought that he was dead or even forgot about him. However, he had been hiding in the Five Regions of Xianyuan, secretly controlling everything.
“Wei Yang … I think we should go back as soon as possible. I always feel a little uneasy. When Shen Cangming comes back to take revenge, Master will probably bear the brunt.”
“Idiot, wait …”
Hua Weiyang suddenly stopped him and slowly said, “Didn’t you realize that there were many similarities between what happened to you and what happened to Shen Cangming back then?”
“I know …”
Xiao Chen nodded. Naturally, he had never forgotten about him. However, it had long since become complicated and confusing. Everyone in the world now said that he was from Diabolism. As long as the truth was not found out, he would never be able to be cleansed.
“Be careful when you go back.”
Hua Weiyang looked at him. At this moment, her expression was more solemn than ever before. She knew that the current Immortal Origin Five Regions were already in an unpredictable state. Once she fell into it, she would never be able to escape.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to worry.”
Xiao Chen gently pressed her shoulder, knowing what she was worried about. However, the current him was no longer comparable to the Xuanqing disciple from back then.
Even though his cultivation had yet to reach the Void Refinement and Dao Harmonization Realm, and there was still a large gap between him and those peerless experts, he still possessed the cultivation method of the fragment of the Book of Heaven, the power to control life and death in his palm, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Profound Techniques that Xiao Cangtian had taught him back then, and the Great Freedom Palm Technique that Daoist Lonely Lamp had taught him before he left.
Therefore, he had all sorts of divine abilities and was not afraid of Nascent Soul imprisonment. Even if he encountered the Sect Leaders of the Righteous Dao Profound Sect, even if he was defeated, it would not be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
It took them nearly a month to cross the Death Desert. In the past, the Death Desert was difficult to cross, but now, it seemed that it was not impossible to cross because of the displacement of the earth’s spiritual veins.
Xiao Chen looked back. When he had gone to the Immortal North Ancient Realm and crossed the Death Desert, he had fallen into the yellow sand. He had accidentally discovered an ancient ruin buried underground. The ancient ruin should have disappeared by now, and he had found a strange hexagonal stone plate inside. He had not told Hua Weiyang about this yet.
“Let’s go.”
“Mm …”
It was already late. The two of them set off again. Not long after, they could already see the mountain range in front of them. They had returned to the place where he had been hunted down by the Yin Yang Dharma King of Limitless Palace and the Hall Master of Poison Dragon Fort. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
If Master hadn’t appeared in time, he would have fallen into the hands of the Yin Yang Dharma King and the others. But now, if he met those people again, he would have been annihilated without flapping his fingers. However, at the very least, his strength was no longer inferior to those of the Yin Yang Dharma King and the others.
Three days later, the two of them had already arrived at a mountain peak outside Dingfeng City’s east city. Under the night sky, the city was brightly lit and could be clearly seen. There was also that dangerous tower that towered into the clouds.
It was one of the three great forces of Fengmanlou and Dingfeng City, the place of the Rakshasa Lady.
Looking at the red lights in the city, Hua Weiyang said, “I heard that you killed the seventh adopted son of the Poison Dragon Fort Fort Master Sect, Xiao Tian, and then went to Lady Rakshasa with Wuji Palace, causing quite a commotion …”
At this point, she turned around and looked at Xiao Chen with a faint smile. “I bet that Lady Rakshasa must be very beautiful, right? Otherwise, why would you want to come here the moment you came back?”
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and stood against the cold wind blowing down the mountain. He didn’t have the heart to joke with her. He recalled everything that happened back then. It was the mysterious old man called Chu Tianyao who had asked him to go to the Wind-filled Building. It was also the Immortal North Ancient Realm that the old man had asked him to go to look for Daoist Lonely Lamp. However, he had managed to find clues about Shen Cangming.
Now that he thought about it carefully, why did it seem like someone had arranged all of this?
Who exactly was that Chu Tianyao, whom Yaoji called “Senior Sword Immortal”? He said that the person who framed him was in the Heavenly Sect, and even the Xuanqing Sect had that person. Why did he know so much? He also knew about the life-and-death backlash in his body.
Something’s wrong …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s heart suddenly flashed with lightning and flint. In the current Immortal Origin Five Regions, the clouds were strange and treacherous, and illusions were everywhere. What if Chu Tianyao’s words were false? In that case, who would be the real person who laid out all of this?
