As the Universe Turns - Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Butterfly Valley
Xiao Chen hesitated for a while before finally handing over a jade note to Hua Weiyang. He had known Hua Weiyang for a long time and knew that the other party could handle everything carefully without worrying too much about him.

“Wei Yang, be careful.”

With this jade slip, he would naturally be able to find the other party. However, the only worry was that she had exhausted too much of her Heavenly Spirit Sect last time, so it would be inappropriate for her to use her strength now.

“Mm, you don’t have to worry.”

Hua Weiyang nodded and looked at Ku Lingzi. “Senior Ku Lingzi, I’ll take my leave first,” he said.

“Don’t die. I’m still waiting for your promise.” Ku Lingzi carelessly said as he stroked his beard.

Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “A promise from the girl is irrevocable. Goodbye.” After saying that, he looked at Xiao Chen and then left the house. His figure gradually disappeared.

Xiao Chen looked at her disappearing back and saw that she was still laughing before she left. It was just to make him feel at ease. However, the more this happened, the more urgent this matter was. He didn’t know what had happened to her.

“What are you looking at now that you’re far away? If you’re reluctant, why don’t you go chase after me?”

Ku Lingzi looked sideways at him and mockingly said something. Only then did Xiao Chen turn around and said indifferently, “Senior, it seems that your soul power has recovered.”

“You … stinking brat.”

Ku Lingzi glared at him gently. For some reason, it was as if the moment he heard this brat speak, his heart would be enraged. In comparison, it was still the little girl who spoke that was pleasing to others.

After a while, he sneered and said, “Kid, I told you about the Three Corpse Demon just now. Otherwise, I’ll go find a Three Corpse Demon. Anyway, that little girl isn’t here at the moment. What do you think?”

Xiao Chen knew that he was talking nonsense to himself, so he casually said, “If you want to find him, senior, go find him alone. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you anymore. Goodbye.”

“Heh! You stinking brat! You don’t know how many people came to beg this old man to help them …”

“Even if a thousand people come to look for Senior and ten thousand people come to beg Senior, that is Senior’s business. What does it have to do with me? Besides, that is all a matter of the past.”

Xiao Chen knew that he had been alone in the Soul Jade for a long time. He was so bored that he wanted people to hear him nag him, but for some reason, he couldn’t help but want to fight with him.

“You …”

Ku Lingzi was utterly speechless by his last words. He should have been furious and then angrily berated, but now, he suddenly felt a wave of desolation surge into his heart and he was speechless.

Thinking back then, how important the word “Soul Saint” was, few people could recognize it now. Throughout his entire life, he was the only one accompanying him, and he didn’t respect him at all.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw the lonely look in his eyes. He felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart.

At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s gaze was actually similar to the gaze Senior gave him when he left the cave the night before.

Back then, Ku Lingzi was invincible under the heavens, but now he has fallen to this point. His soul has been imprisoned for three hundred years, and it is difficult to take revenge for his great enmity. Although his words just now were unintentional, it is a little hurtful to say them at this moment.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel somewhat apologetic. He said, “Senior, one day, you will return to your peak.”

Ku Lingzi couldn’t help but be stunned. He raised his head and looked at him. When did this kid learn to speak human language?

“Cough cough …”

Xiao Chen coughed twice and said awkwardly, “Let’s go. Wei Yang is gone. We don’t need to stay here anymore.” After saying that, he left the room.

“Brat …”

Ku Lingzi looked at him from behind. The night was bleak. At this moment, one of them was a disciple of the Xuanmen Sect abandoned by the Righteous Dao of the world, and the other was a peerless expert who had lost everything. At this moment, the two of them truly had the feeling of “falling into the horizon”.

Outside the town, the night became a little heavy. The cold wind blew in the forest, and the fallen leaves gathered and scattered. Because of the sudden arrival of strangers, the crows on the trees flew away. A crescent moon was slowly emerging from the clouds.

Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the horizon. He carefully recalled the journey to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm. This time, he was sent to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, not to restore his Nascent Soul, nor to suppress the life and death backlash in his body. Instead, it was to let him find clues about Shen Cangming back then.

It was as if everything had been arranged in the dark.

…

The Butterfly Valley that Shen Jing was in was located in a large mountain range in the Southern Domain, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Central Plains. Moreover, the border between the Central Plains and the Southern Domain was where the Tibetan Feng Valley was located. Therefore, Xiao Chen had to bypass it to avoid alarming the cultivation sects in the Immortal Origin Five Regions and causing trouble.

Half a month later, he had already arrived at Butterfly Valley. It was exactly two years and a month since he left last time.

The last time he left, it was late spring. Now it was early April, and the Butterfly Valley was warmer than before. In the valley, clear streams flowed, flowers bloomed, and bee butterflies swarm in the flower garden, as if they were peach fields far away from the secular immortal world.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was walking on the familiar path between flowers. This time, his heart was exceptionally heavy. He took heavy steps and didn’t have the heart to watch the flowers.

He still remembered that when he was seriously injured, it was unknown who had sent him here. It was Shen Jing who had spent half a year renewing his meridians and another half a year helping him recover his strength. Even when he left, she had given him a set of Blood Transformation Needles for self-defense.

This was a deep feeling, but now that Ning Village had been destroyed by him, how could he tell her about this?

The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became. Unknowingly, he had already arrived near the two small bamboo houses in the past. The fence outside the house was still the same, and the scenery was still the same. However, there was a bamboo forest behind the house.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and finally walked towards the small courtyard. However, just outside the fence, two figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instantly blocking his path.

The two of them wore cloaks, and their baleful auras were heavy. They were a man and a woman. Their skin was fair, and there was a bone-piercing chill in their eyes.

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that it was the two herbalists that Shen Jing had raised back then. At that time, Shen Jing had also told him about the difference between the herbalists and the puppets. He didn’t expect that these two herbalists were actually much more powerful than when he left. What kind of special technique did Shen Jing use?

“Shadowless, Rakshasa, come back.”

At this moment, a cold female voice came from the bamboo room on the left. The two herbalists instantly turned into two mist and dispersed.

Then, the door slowly opened and a woman slowly walked out. The woman was dressed in a light purple robe. Her eyes could not tell whether it was cold or anything else.

In short, after Xiao Chen saw her, for some reason, he felt as if he had suddenly become a lot stranger. He looked at her like this for a long time before finally saying, “Sister Shen Jing.”
