As the Universe Turns - Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Go To Zhongyue
“Wei Yang, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing that Xiao Chen’s expression was constantly changing tonight, Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed. In the past, she would never be like this. Just what was it that made her so anxious? If it was really because she was going to Zhongyue Peak that she felt so uneasy …

“Idiot.”

‘”What else did Hua Weiyang say to you? I remember that night when I came back, I heard what you were saying in the room. What did he say to you?” Ku Lingzi’s expression turned solemn again.

“That night …”

Xiao Chen carefully recalled the night when Hua Weiyang left. Ku Lingzi was talking to him about the Three Corpses Demon. However, judging from the other party’s appearance at that time, it was probably just talking about it. It didn’t seem to be the main point.

“What did he tell you?”

Seeing that he was silent, Hua Weiyang asked again.

“True Monarch Four Seas, Hegemon Eight Desolates.”

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said these eight words. This was what Ku Lingzi told him about True Monarch Four Seas and Hegemon Eight Desolates when he was in Butterfly Valley. At that time, Ku Lingzi spoke very seriously and seemed to recall the past many years ago. This must be the main point that Wei Yang wanted to ask.

“Hegemon of the Eight Desolates …”

Hua Weiyang gradually fell into deep thought. Ku Lingzi knew who Hegemon Eight Desolates was. Was it really because he failed to resist the heavenly tribulation that he had to sacrifice his physical body to protect his primordial spirit?

“What’s the matter?”

“No, nothing …”

At this moment, Hua Weiyang’s mood gradually calmed down, but he found that he could no longer see through Ku Lingzi. He didn’t know if he should tell Xiao Chen about the Samsara Forbidden.

After a long time, he finally heard her say, “Pay more attention to Ku Lingzi in the future. His goal might not be simple, and the third soul technique he passed on to you … you cannot use it easily.”

Xiao Chen thought to himself that when he left Butterfly Valley, Ku Lingzi had said the same thing. The first two soul techniques could be used, and only this last soul restriction technique could not be used easily. But why did Wei Yang ask him to be on guard against him at this moment?

Seeing his hesitation at this moment, Hua Weiyang said, “But no matter what, my Three Lives Curse Oath, even if he has great abilities, he will not be able to undo it. You can rest assured of this.”

“Wei Yang, don’t worry, Ku Lingzi … won’t harm me.”

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang nodded lightly. She came to the edge of the cliff with him, accompanied by a bright moon and a gentle breeze. However, there was a trace of worry between her eyebrows. She only heard her ask, “Zhongyue Peak Fengyun will be next month. When are you going to leave?”

Xiao Chen looked at the faint shadow of a tree across the cliff. He took a deep breath and said, “I’ll go out and take a look tomorrow.”

“Forget it …”

Hua Weiyang sighed softly, and Xiao Chen looked at her, “Why sigh?”

“No …”

Hua Weiyang shook his head. Looking in the direction of Immortal North Ancient Realm, “Sometimes, I envy those disciples from Celestial Pogoda. Whether it’s Celestial Pogoda, Divine Martial Palace, or Profound Frost Pavilion, they can cultivate peacefully at your age. They can only participate in various competitions and win honors for their sect. At most, they can only go to better cultivation areas and compete with people …”

When she said this, she turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. “And yet, you have to experience so much … You know that you are close to death, but you have no choice but to go.”

Unknowingly, the night grew deeper.

The next morning, Xiao Chen bid farewell to Wei Yang and left Lian Hua Palace. This time, he wanted to take Yue Feng with him and not let Hua Weiyang follow him. But last night, Hua Weiyang gave him a magic treasure. It was the “Soul Absorbing Green Lamp” he had collected from Feng Zhuyun, the disciple of Patriarch Ghost Tuo, in Immortal North Ancient Realm.

There was still less than a month left. Xiao Chen naturally needed to inquire around about the recent movements of the various sects. However, the one who heard the most was “Xuanqing Sect traitor Xiao Yichen is not dead, he is going to Zhongyue Feng this time”.

Such news could be said to have caused another uproar in the Immortal Origin Five Regions. Whether it was flying pigeons transmitting letters or spiritual energy transmitting messages, they were circulating endlessly among the various sects these past few days. In just a few days, everyone knew that he wanted to go to Zhongyue Feng.

Half a month had passed, and it was a gloomy day. Lead clouds had settled on the mountains, and there was a suffocating feeling that it did not seem like the weather of May or June.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the mountain, he saw a mountain villa. There was a large stone tablet in front of the villa. On the stone tablet were four big characters carved with ancient seals: Hidden Sword Villa.

He needed a sword, so he came here.

The Hidden Sword Villa was a famous sword villa in the Central Plains. There were countless hidden swords in the villa. Each sword didn’t ask where it came from or where it came from. No one knew if their previous owner was a hero or a nameless person. No one knew if their future owner was right or evil.

“I want a sword.”

“What kind of sword do you want?”

“A good sword.”

“No matter how good a sword is, it is still a killing sword. Come and get it in seven days.”

Xiao Chen left behind two sixth-grade spirit stones and turned around to leave. This spirit stone was the last time he helped Lady Rakshasa obtain the Heavenly Sect Scroll from Yi Wuji in Calming Wind City. Lady Rakshasa gave it to him as a reward.

Seven days later, Xiao Chen returned to the villa as promised. The villa master handed over a sword sheath. Cold Qi permeated through the sheath. When the sheath was opened, the sword inside was three feet three inches long and three fingers wide. The sword light flowed in waves. The blade of the sword emitted a chill that was like water. It was quite extraordinary.

“This sword is called ‘Hanxi’.”

“It is indeed a good sword.” Xiao Chen put away his sword and turned around to go down the mountain.

“This person is so murderous. Does the Villa Master know who he is?”

After he left, a sword attendant disciple beside him asked in a low voice.

“The swords of the Hidden Sword Villa never ask where they came from or where they came from. Did you forget? Go back.”

…

Zhongyue Peak was located in the south of the Central Plains, and within the Immortal Origin Five Regions, there was a dangerous peak towering into the clouds, collectively known as the “Five Yue Peaks”. It also symbolized the five regions. As for how many years it had existed, no one knew for a long time.

It was finally the 15th day of the 6th month. Before noon, 10,000 heads had already gathered on Zhongyue Peak. Looking around, apart from the snow-capped mountain peak, there was also a large number of figures that could not be seen. Apart from the people from various sects and sects, there were also quite a few loose cultivators from all walks of life. They had also arrived here today.

Some of them wanted to become famous in this sword strike, while others wanted to see who the rumoured Xiao Yichen was and whether he dared to come to the Cloud Gathering alone today.

The snow had stopped at an unknown time. At the highest point of the mountain, there was a pavilion. No one knew when it was built. It was still standing. It was called the Wind Cloud Pavilion.

Next to the Wind Cloud Pavilion stood a large stone tablet with the words “Number One Under Heaven” written on it. The brush strokes were strong and majestic, but how heavy were the words “Number One Under Heaven”? Throughout the ages, who could bear these four words?

Gradually, it was almost noon. The crowd finally began to stir. They were discussing whether Xiao Chen would come to the Storm Appeal or not. Some said that he would come. Others said that he had betrayed the Righteous path and helped the Devil Religion. Today, he absolutely did not dare to come to Zhongyue Peak.

However, just as everyone was at odds, a figure suddenly flew closer and closer from the northwest horizon.

At this moment, everyone held their breath.
