As the Universe Turns - Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Dense Fog
Although Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang were wearing cloaks, they were still attracting attention as they walked down the street.

On both sides of the street, many shops had already closed their doors early. The night hadn’t arrived yet, but the doors of every house had already been tightly closed. This was a bit strange.

“This town is a little strange. Be careful.”

Hua Weiyang reminded him in a low voice, but Xiao Chen didn’t care much. At this moment, his heart was filled with hostility, and he became indifferent to everything around him. Even Hua Weiyang could tell that.

The two walked several blocks before finding an inn at the south exit of the town. Strangely, there were few people on the street, but there were quite a few people living in this inn. However, everyone spoke with caution, afraid that the walls would have ears, so the inn was very quiet.

“Please come in, two guest officials. Would you like to stay in the hotel or …”

“Two rooms.”

“Yes, yes, yes. This way, please.”

After taking the two wing rooms in the backyard, night gradually fell. Inside the room, Xiao Chen did not hold the light and sat motionlessly on the edge of the bed. During the day, the scene of Ning Village still lingered in his mind. It was as if as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see countless blood-stained faces appearing in front of him.

“Wei Yang, who killed the hundreds of people in Ning Village?” His voice was somewhat deep, so deep that it made the night seem even quieter.

Hua Weiyang only looked at him quietly and did not speak immediately. He could tell that the hatred in his heart was growing. After a long time, he said, “The deceased has passed. I don’t want to see another Shen Cangming in this world …”

“Shen Cangming …”

At this moment, a hostile look flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. It was so cold that Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but shiver. He shouted at him a few times before he regained his senses.

“What happened to you just now?”

“Nothing …”

Xiao Chen shook his head, but his fingers were getting tighter and tighter. Shen Cangming’s words could not be erased from his heart at this moment.

Hua Weiyang did not know how to console him, but he was afraid that Xiao Chen would become another person with a completely different face in the future, a person like Shen Cangming.

At this moment, she could only change the topic and try her best to divert Xiao Chen’s attention. “Next … are you going to Butterfly Valley?” She asked.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and went to Butterfly Valley …

When he left Butterfly Valley earlier, he had promised Shen Jing that he would return regardless of whether he found Wei Yang or not. However, now, he was the one who had brought all the calamities in Ning Village to Shen Jing and Ning Village.

“From the moment I was born, it was as if it would only bring disaster to the people around me. Who am I?”

“Shh.”

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Weiyang interrupted him and shook his head, “Don’t do this. It’s not your fault. Many things are destined to happen. Perhaps it’s just an unavoidable calamity.”

“Tribulation …”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and said, “I want to go to Butterfly Valley.” Regardless of whether Shen Jing wanted to hate him or blame him, he had to go back.

“Alright.”

Hua Weiyang nodded. Then, the two of them sat in the room and remained silent.

After a long time, the night outside was completely shrouded. Suddenly, there were footsteps passing by. Hua Weiyang looked outside and whispered, “I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon. You’re here. Don’t go anywhere.”

“You go.”

“Mm …”

After Hua Weiyang left the room, after a while, Ku Lingzi’s divine will suddenly came from the Soul Jade. “Little brat, that little girl during the day actually cultivated to the Three Flowers Gathering Summit. I’m afraid that you won’t be her match in a few years.”

“What do you want to say?”

Xiao Chen’s tone was cold and indifferent. Looking back on what happened during the day, he was not surprised. From the beginning, when Qianyu Nichang came to Xuanqing, her future was destined to be limitless. Her talent was above him, so there was nothing strange about it.

“Haha … brat, with your little experience, I’m afraid you still don’t know what a Three Flowers Gathering is, right?”

Ku Lingzi’s voice rang out from within the Soul Jade once again. Xiao Chen took the Soul Jade out of his sleeve and looked at it. “Say what you want to say,” he said.

He was not completely unaware of the Three Flowers Gathering Head. At least he knew that Master had already cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering Head. There were even rumors that the moment Master appeared, there was a Three Flowers Gathering Head Seal between his eyebrows. The Three Flowers Gathering Head was innate, invincible, and there was no second person in the world.

“Hehe …”

Ku Lingzi slowly emerged from the Soul Jade. His primordial spirit remained in the Soul Jade to cultivate. He could only perceive the outside world with his soul power and could not see anything. During the day, he had sensed the aura of Qianyu Nichang’s Three Flowers Gathering at the top, so he woke up.

“Brat, I’m telling you, not everyone can cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering Summit. At least you brat, you won’t be able to cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering Summit in your lifetime.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your body has already been stained with devil origin energy. Do you still want to cultivate to the peak of the Three Flowers Gathering?”

Ku Lingzi glanced at him and said, “I might as well tell you, that girl’s talent is extremely rare and her immortal essence energy is extremely pure. Only then will she have the chance to cultivate to the peak of the Three Flowers Gathering. After cultivating to the peak of the Three Flowers Gathering, she will no longer fear any demonic energy. All demons are difficult to invade, and she will hopefully ascend to the Immortal Dimension in the future.”

“Ten Thousand Devils are invincible …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to finally understand something. No wonder the demons were so afraid of Master. It turned out that Master was not afraid of demonic energy, and the demonic yuan could not infect her. Even at the peak of Mount Qiong, the demons had no choice but to use their Master to trap her with the Absolute Killing Array.

It turned out that Master was actually so powerful. No wonder all the people in the Devil Dao wanted to get rid of her.

Ku Lingzi chuckled, “I’m very curious. How could that girl cultivate to the Three Flowers Gathering Summit? If there’s no one to help her, I’m afraid it doesn’t make sense …”

Xiao Chen did not say anything. The fact that Qianyu Nichang was able to cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering Summit proved that she was definitely not someone from the Devil Dao. If she was someone sent by the Devil Dao, even if she did not cultivate the Devil Skill, as long as she had a slight connection with the Devil Dao, it would cause immortal essence energy to be impure. It was absolutely impossible for her to cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering Summit.

If she wasn’t someone sent by the Devil Dao, then what exactly was her identity?

Things seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. At this moment, Xiao Chen recalled carefully. Previously, when he heard Chu Tianyao say that someone had planted someone in Xuanqing Sect, he thought of Qianyu Nichang.

Because of that incident back then, the people from the various sects died from the Jade Flute Sword Technique. This sword technique was originally created by Master. Master only passed it on to him, and he only practiced this sword technique with Qianyu Nichang. Other than that, who else in the world would use the Jade Flute Sword Technique?

If it weren’t for Qianyu Nichang and himself, it wouldn’t be possible for Master to kill those people, right?
