As the Universe Turns - Chapter 269

Chapter 269 An Old Friend

Those people were Excellency’s disciples, Excellency’s disciple from the Heavenly Power Peak, Xia Guyun’s disciple from the Profound Sun Peak, Excellency Xuanyang’s disciple from the Profound Sun Peak, Ye Huaiyou from Yuheng Lou Qingshan’s Hidden Profound Mirror, and Shen Yu from Yuji Peak’s Heavenly Secrets Excellency.

There was also the Heavenly Jade Bloodline, the disciples of Brow Moon Excellency, Leng Qianxue, Ruan Fuling, and … Qianyu Ni Shang.

Right now, apart from Ruan Fuling and Ye Huaiyou, Shen Yu’s cultivation was slightly lower. Xia Guyun, Lou Qingshan, Leng Qianxue, and Qianyu Ni Shang were already the top disciples of the new generation of Xuanqing Sect.

In particular, Qianyu Ni Shang’s cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and she was no longer inferior to Xia Guyun Leng Qianxue and the others.

At this moment, the two sides looked at each other silently. More than ten years had passed in a flash. The current Qianyu Ni Shang no longer had the childish aura she had when she first ascended to Xuanqing. Her feathered clothes fluttered about, making her look more like a fairy who didn’t eat the fireworks of the mortal world.

Xiao Chen had long since grown up, and he could no longer see the shadow of the naughty youth of the past.

The two of them looked at each other like this. After a long time, Qianyu Ni Shang finally took a step forward. She had imagined the scene of the two of them seeing each other countless times in her mind. When they met, she only said the two words that she had not seen for a long time: “Senior Brother …”

It was just two words, but it was like a stone suddenly falling into an ancient well, causing ripples in each other’s hearts.

If Xiao Chen had become more and more indifferent and heartless these past few years, and Hua Weiyang was the only one who could let him retain his former tenderness, then the woman in front of him was the only one who could stir up a splash of water in his calm heart.

However, the word “Senior Brother” was like a sharp thorn, stabbing him with needles and needles. That time, it accompanied him to jump down the Immortal Burial Cliff and die with his heart.

At this moment, the atmosphere did not ease because of Qianyu Ni Shang’s words “Senior Brother”. Instead, it became even more tense. The few people behind them were silent, and even Xia Guyun and the others had secretly circulated their inner profound arts. They knew in their hearts that their former fellow disciples were now enemies.

Only Fu Ling was still standing there dumbfounded. Ever since she saw Xiao Chen, she had been stunned. In her mind, it was Cangfeng Valley, Ye Runian, and Liu Chengfeng who came to “salute” her, the youth who “saluted” her.

It was the stubborn junior apprentice-brother who used to be a martial artist in the Heavenly Gate. He was covered in blood and unwilling to fall. He was in the Misty Mountain Range. The junior apprentice-brother who had talked and laughed with them was also the junior apprentice-brother who had fallen into eternal calamity on Lian Fengtai.

No one could survive from the Immortal Burial Cliff. That was why everyone thought that Xiao Yichen was dead. However, at this moment, Xiao Yichen appeared in front of them again. However, what was it that made them feel so cold?

It was at this moment, his gaze.

It was the look in his eyes that he had sworn that he would never look back.

The few of them finally came to their senses. He was no longer the Xuanqing disciple they used to be. At this moment, he finally noticed Hua Weiyang standing beside him.

Qianyu Ni Shang’s eyes suddenly turned cold, “Demoness, you harmed my Senior Brother back then, but now you still dare to come to Xuanqing!”

Before he could finish his words, a cold light flashed and a strong wind rose. An immortal sword with a cold light had already pierced towards Hua Weiyang in an instant.

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, Xiao Chen’s two fingers grabbed the immortal sword that was stabbing at him. The water waves on the sword’s body circulated, and the sword intent was already extremely extraordinary. On the sword collar, the words “Yichen, Ni Shang” were still clearly visible. It was clearly the ancient sword that Xiao Chen had gifted to Qianyu Ni Shang.

This sword was no small matter. In addition, in recent years, Qianyu Ni Shang’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming more and more compatible with Qiushui Sword. As a result, few of the younger generations of the various sects were able to resist Qiushui Sword. However, at this moment, they were caught between Xiao Chen’s fingers.

Xia Guyun and the others were stunned. They knew best how powerful the Qiushui Ancient Sword was in Qianyu Nichang’s hands, but now …

“Zheng!”

With another sharp sound, Xiao Chen waved his hand and pushed Qianyu Nichang back. Only then did Xia Guyun, Lou Qingshan, and the others suddenly wake up. How powerful!

“Senior Brother …”

Qianyu Nichang was also stunned. However, it wasn’t because of Xiao Chen’s current cultivation. It was because at that moment, the other party’s eyes clearly didn’t have any trace of past affection … Smoke marks were thousands of kilometers away, and Qiushui was heartless.

“Junior Brother Xiao!”

Poria finally regained her senses and stepped forward. She quickly said, “It’s great that you’re not dead. Martial Uncle Ling Yin must be very happy to know. Sect Leader Martial Uncle also said that he would no longer let the Heavenly Sect interfere in that matter. As long as you return …”

“When did I say I was coming back?”

Xiao Chen glanced at her indifferently. At this moment, Poria couldn’t help but shiver. Was this person in front of her really Junior Brother Xiao from back then? Why did he become so cold and heartless …

“Wei Yang, let’s go.”

Xiao Chen did not want to entangle himself with these people anymore. He turned around and wanted to leave. Poria stretched out her hand and suddenly stopped him, “Junior Brother Xiao, wait!”

“What else?”

Xiao Chen turned his head slightly, his gaze still extremely cold.

Poria took a deep breath and looked at him. “You can’t go with her. You don’t know what she did. She …”

“Enough!”

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and coldly said, “She has been with me recently. What can she do …”

“What did you say …”

Hearing this, Poria and Xia Guyun’s entire bodies trembled. Hua Wei Yang’s mind was sharp, but he could hear something from Ruan Poria’s words just now. He asked, “What did you say I did just now? Then what did I do?”

“Witch! Don’t you know what you’ve done? Stop pretending here!” Qianyu Nichang’s gaze turned cold. As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of cold light shrouded his body. His aura was already extremely strong.

Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent. If it had been in the past, he would have definitely asked what had happened. But now, there was no need to ask anymore. Those people were just like back then, forcibly deducting some unfounded charges against Wei Yang. He had long since become indifferent.

Moreover, seeing Ning Village being destroyed and Wu Niang passing away today, his heart was already ashen. Nothing mattered anymore, and he didn’t want to prove anything anymore.

“Idiot … let’s go.”

Hua Weiyang didn’t want to ask any more questions, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, Qianyu Nichang suddenly blocked him with his sword.

The sword qi of this sword was even more unstoppable, causing a strong wind to blow for miles around. Xiao Chen turned around and struck out with his palm. With a “bang”, he blocked her sword qi. His gaze was icy cold, and he did not say a word.

Qianyu Nichang’s eyes flashed with pain. He shook his head and said, “Have you really forgotten all about the past? Are you really unwilling to turn around?”

“It’s precisely because I didn’t forget that I didn’t kill you today. But if you dare to stop me again, don’t blame Xiao for being heartless …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze became even colder. He was no longer the Xuanqing Disciple Yichen of the past.
