As the Universe Turns - Chapter 297
Chapter 297 At the Peak of the Middle Peak, Fei Xue Was Dazzled
“Is Xiao Yichen here?”
The figure in the distance was getting closer and closer, but he was still unable to see clearly. Everyone here began to discuss again. Someone said, “No, it can’t be him. Even if he didn’t die when he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff, all of my Righteous sects gathered in Zhongyue Peak. He betrayed Xuanqing Sect and helped Diabolism to torture him. He definitely wouldn’t dare to come and die today.”
“Right now, he is alone. He doesn’t dare to come to Zhongyue Peak alone.”
“I don’t think so. Since he said he would come, maybe that person really is him …”
“Coming, coming!”
When the figure got closer and closer, a strong wind swept over, dazzling the snow on the top of the mountain. Finally, someone cried out in alarm, “It’s him! Xiao Yichen! He really isn’t dead! He really came!”
This time, the crowd seemed to have stirred up a thousand layers of white waves. Some of them revealed astonished expressions, while others found it hard to believe. Four years ago, he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff and actually didn’t die. He actually dared to come to Zhongyue Peak today. In other words, the person who helped Lianhua Palace and pointed to killing Tang Yu from the Rainbow Sect last month was really him, not the rumor!
“So this person is Xiao Yichen …”
Thousands of people had come to Zhongyue Peak today. Of course, not everyone had seen Xiao Chen before. Many of them had just seen his appearance today. They all thought in their hearts, “This person is so strong that he dares to go to Zhongyue alone. He should be a good man. How did he become a traitor of the Xuanmen Sect and join the Devil Religion?”
Those who had seen Xiao Chen during the Heavenly Sect Martial Arts Gathering and the Profound Cyan Trial all sighed endlessly. They thought that the stubborn youth from the Heavenly Sect Martial Arts Gathering was far too different from the ice-cold man in front of them.
Finally, Xiao Chen had arrived at the peak of Zhongyue Peak. With a step, he landed in the snow. Instantly, the ground was filled with ice and snow. Everyone nearby felt stifled. At this moment, many people felt a very rich internal force from him. Being able to forcefully kill Tang Yu with one finger, it seemed that his cultivation was no longer comparable to before.
“You … are Xiao Yichen?”
The white-bearded elders immediately looked at him, their eyes filled with doubt and surprise. No wonder they suspected that this person in front of them was really Xiao Chen.
Firstly, when he was in the Northern Region, Hua Weiyang had once pretended to be him and played around with people from various sects and sects.
Secondly, he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff and had almost no hope of surviving.
Thirdly, the person in front of him was too different from the youth back then. Whether it was his gaze or the icy cold aura he was currently emitting.
“Xiao has arrived as promised. Has the person who invited Xiao already come?”
The wind and snow danced all over the sky, and Xiao Chen stepped forward. At this moment, there was only the cold voice of the north wind, but no one spoke. After hearing his words, everyone also believed that he was Xiao Yichen, not anyone pretending to be him.
Looking around, one could see that there were plenty of figures in Yue Feng, but there weren’t any people from Hidden Edge Valley or Yuxu Temple. Last time outside Lianhua Palace, it was Master Zixu who asked him to come to Yue Feng, but what he said just now wasn’t asking if Master Zixu had come.
Although Master Zixu had asked him to come to Zhongyue Feng in Lianhua Palace last month, the person who really brought him here was not Master Zixu, but the person who had secretly arranged it.
Too many things had happened recently. Ning Village had been annihilated overnight. The contradictions between Lianhua Palace and the various sects were all forced to appear. If he did not appear at Zhongyue Peak today, the rumors would become more and more serious. In the end, it would inevitably affect Ling Yin. He did not want to implicate his master anymore, so he had no choice but to come.
He wanted to know who had done this in Ning Village and who the person who had secretly arranged it was, so he had no choice but to come to Zhongyue Feng and wait for that person to appear.
At this moment, everyone present thought that he was asking if Master Zi Xu had come, so they were all looking around, but none of the people from the Jade Void Temple were present.
But even if Yu Xu Guan and Cangfeng Valley’s people hadn’t come, there were still many people waiting for him to appear here. Back then, some sects had secretly spread the news that he was carrying the “Book of Heaven”. Therefore, when they heard that he was coming to Zhongyue Peak today, those people had already secretly arranged everything and waited for him to appear today.
Apart from that, the matter of the people from the various sects dying in the Jade Flute Sword Technique had not yet been completed. Therefore, today, he had come to Zhongyue Peak to make a decision. He did not wish to drag his master down any further. He understood both points clearly in his heart. Therefore, before coming to Zhongyue Peak, he went to the Hidden Sword Villa to get a sword.
At this time, a white-bearded old man dressed in Zi Yi stood out from the crowd and looked at him. He asked with a serious gaze, “Little friend Xiao, are you here alone today?”
The moment these words were spoken, many people’s expressions became nervous. Although Xiao Chen was indeed the only one who had just arrived, since they had already determined that Xiao Chen was related to the Devil Dao, they did not believe that he was the only one who had come to Zhongyue Peak. Therefore, from just now until now, many people had been on guard.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Someone from Xiao is coming.”
Hearing this, many people in the crowd exchanged glances, signaling for them to wait and see. Although these words dispelled some of the doubts in their hearts, there were still many people who firmly believed that the people hiding the Devil Dao nearby were still cautiously vigilant.
“Alright.”
The old man from Zi Yi nodded his head, but his gaze was still sharp. He asked again, “I heard that Little Friend Xiao appeared in the Flowers of Pity Palace last month and killed the head disciple of the Azure Rainbow Sect, Tang Yu. I wonder how Little Friend Xiao will explain this matter.”
“This person deserves to be blamed.”
Xiao Chen’s tone was still calm, but this sentence caused many people present to tremble. It seemed that the rumors were true. Tang Yu had indeed been killed by him. Previously, Tang Yu had led his men to destroy several branch altars of Lianhua Palace in one fell swoop. His reputation had instantly risen. He had never expected that the main altar of Lianhua Palace would actually be annihilated by this person’s finger.
However, at this moment, few people sympathized with Tang Yu. Although he could destroy the branch altar of Lian Hua Palace, his methods were cruel and chilling. No wonder Xiao Yichen said the words “take the blame”. At this moment, no one refuted him.
The old man from Zi Yi focused his gaze and continued to ask, “These past few years, you haven’t returned to Xuanqing, but where did you go? Have you always been in Lianhua Palace?”
Xiao Chen said, “The world is so big that I can’t go anywhere. Why must I go to Lianhua Palace?”
These words clearly showed that he had not been in Lianhua Palace all these years, let alone joined the Lianhua Palace as rumored. After hearing this, everyone present looked at each other. Although some people were still skeptical, others believed that since he dared to come to Zhongyue Peak alone today, there was no need to lie.
“But when you appeared, not long ago, Old man Zi Yi was annihilated overnight. There are rumors that this matter has something to do with you. Is the matter of Ning Village really related to you?” Said Ning Village.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings quieted down. Everyone stared at Xiao Chen without saying a word. At this moment, his gaze became sharp and he asked Old man Zi Yi, “Even if everyone in the world loses you one day, do you have any reason to personally destroy the place where you used to live?”
