As the Universe Turns - Chapter 275
Chapter 275 Enemies
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shiver. He thought back to the scene in his dream. Everything was so real. Why did Shen Jing become so terrifying?
He stood up and went outside. The moon and stars were dim in the sky, and the wind blew the leaves in the courtyard, making rustling sounds. Even this scene was especially similar to the dream he had just dreamed of.
He decided to take a look at the bottom of the cold valley in the back mountain. When the time came, a chill came from the bottom of the valley. Due to the dream just now, he became exceptionally cautious this time.
When they arrived at the bottom of the cold valley, the surrounding cold air became even heavier. It was clearly early summer night, but it was even colder than midwinter. Even the surrounding flowers and grass were dyed with a layer of frost.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the place where Shen Jing cultivated, his heart gradually became suspended. As expected, it was exactly the same as the previous dream. Under the faint moonlight, Shen Jing sat with her back facing him. Purple mist wrapped around her body, and she didn’t know what cultivation technique she was cultivating.
At this moment, he even held his breath and his aura was completely withdrawn. Just as he was about to reach out with his divine sense, Shen Jing suddenly let out a muffled snort. In the cold night, it sounded even clearer that she was clearly injured.
“Who?”
At this moment, Shen Jing seemed to have noticed someone behind her. Xiao Chen no longer concealed himself. He walked out from behind the stone and whispered, “Shen Jing, you …”
“Uh …”
Shen Jing let out another muffled snort. Immediately after, she quickly formed a seal with her hands and put the purple mist into her body. She quickly said, “Don’t come over!”
Xiao Chen stood where he was and didn’t dare to continue to step forward. He was also a cultivator, and he knew that he couldn’t be disturbed when he circulated his cultivation. At this moment, Shen Jing was afraid that she was cultivating carelessly, causing her to go into a mess. He couldn’t rashly step forward.
However, at this moment, Ku Lingzi’s voice suddenly rang out in the darkness, “Miss, if you continue to cultivate recklessly like this, I’m afraid that one day, you will go crazy and end up in a tragic end of being devoured by profound arts.”
“Who is it!”
Shen Jing was shocked. She never expected that there would be other people besides Xiao Chen here. She immediately asked, “Xiao Chen! Who is he?”
“Young lady, don’t worry. This old man has absolutely no malicious intentions towards you.”
Ku Lingzi said slowly. At this moment, his gaze was fixed, as if he had already seen what kind of cultivation technique Shen Jing was cultivating.
Seeing that Shen Jing’s situation was getting more and more urgent, Xiao Chen was afraid that she would go crazy because of this. He said, “Sister Shen Jing, you don’t have to worry. This is Senior Ku Lingzi, not a villain. In the past in Immortal North Ancient Realm, he helped me a lot.”
“Ku Lingzi …”
Shen Jing’s face was still a little pale. Because of the movement just now, there was blood oozing out from the corner of her mouth. Xiao Chen instantly stepped forward to support her. He quickly tapped a few acupoints on her body with his left hand to avoid the backlash of the profound arts.
“Uh …”
Shen Jing let out a muffled snort and looked at him with resentment in her eyes. She was annoyed that he had brought someone into the valley without telling her.
“Sister Shen Jing, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you earlier, but this senior is definitely not a villain.”
“Humph!”
Shen Jing tilted her head, and her expression was still a little angry. However, she couldn’t use her cultivation at this moment. Otherwise, she would have to give him a palm strike to vent her anger.
At the same time, he wondered in his heart, who exactly was that soul body behind him? Why did he discern the backlash of his profound arts at a glance? In the next moment, the other party’s words caused her entire body to tremble.
“If this old man’s guess is correct, this cultivation technique that this young lady cultivates is a peerless technique that has been lost since ancient times. It is called the ‘Nine Transformations’.”
Hearing this, Shen Jing’s expression suddenly changed, “Who are you!”
“Sigh …”
Ku Lingzi let out a long sigh and slowly walked over, “The Nine Transformations are all-encompassing. However, at the beginning, Mei Feng only obtained one of them. Later, he passed this one on to you.”
“You …”
Shen Jing was completely stunned. At the side, Xiao Chen finally understood that Shen Jing’s master was indeed the Spirit Pivot Palace’s Palace Master, Luo Mei Feng. Otherwise, where would she have learned such medical skills and extraordinary skills over the years?
It wasn’t that he hadn’t guessed before, especially when Fairy Su Wen asked who was helping him renew his pulse. However, it didn’t seem like all of this was just a coincidence.
After a while, Shen Jing’s mood gradually calmed down, and her voice became cold and indifferent again, “I don’t know what Senior is saying.”
‘”Miss, there’s no need to hide anymore. Mei Feng and I have known each other for many years. From the day we entered the valley, I discovered that the two herbalists had her aura. She refined the two herbalists, didn’t she? The night when the Spirit Pivot Palace was annihilated, she also escorted you with all her might, didn’t she?” Said Ku Lingzi.
Shen Jing didn’t speak anymore, but her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by needles. The scene of that night appeared in her mind again. It was as if every time she closed her eyes, she could see those senior sisters lying in a pool of blood, as well as the heads of her master that had been beheaded.
“Shen Jing … Is that so?”
Xiao Chen gently supported her. She didn’t expect that her journey would be so arduous. The Spirit Pivot Palace was destroyed, but she was the only one who escaped. She watched as her senior sisters were brutally killed and her master’s head was cut off by her enemies, but there was nothing she could do.
And now, even Ning Village was gone.
“Senior … who exactly is he?”
At this moment, she even lowered her voice a lot, as if she could no longer conceal anything, but also as if sorrow surged into her heart, unwilling to conceal anything.
“Your master’s … an old friend.”
“Old friend …”
Shen Jing took a deep breath and slowly said, “Master never said that she had an old friend.”
Chief Ku Lingzi let out a long sigh. If not for the fact that he had failed to seize the treasure and his primordial spirit had suffered heavy injuries, how could he have been captured by the Ye Clan’s Ye Zhiqiu? How could his soul have been imprisoned for three hundred years? He said, “Back then, my soul had been imprisoned for three hundred years. When I came out, the Spirit Pivot Palace had already disappeared.”
“That night, Master told me to go as far away as possible. Since then, I have never returned. Once I return, I will definitely be captured by that person …”
As Shen Jing muttered to herself, an obvious look of pain flashed across her face. Ku Lingzi asked, “Did you see it with your own eyes that night? Who destroyed the Spirit Pivot Palace?”
Shen Jing closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Xiao Chen looked at her quietly. He recalled that when he had lost all of his strength, she had mentioned that that person’s strength was terrifying. It was not something he could interfere with. No wonder she had been so anxious to cultivate the Nine Transformations all these years, causing her to suffer the backlash of the profound arts.
How could she not want to take revenge for the vengeance of the Spirit Pivot Palace and the vengeance of Ning Village? It was just that she deeply hid this hatred in her heart. Because her strength was not enough, she had never told anyone, nor had she told herself.
Xiao Chen asked, “Who exactly is that person?”
The pain on Shen Jing’s face became even more obvious. She was still unwilling to speak. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown and ask again, “Who is that person? Tell me, maybe … I can help you.”
