As the Universe Turns - Chapter 298
Chapter 298 Even Though Millions of People Have Gone
At this moment, the crowd fell into silence. Everyone was silent. Although there were rumors that Xiao Yichen had annihilated Ning Village, such rumors were ridiculous. Even though he had joined the Devil Sect, Ning Village had not let him down. Why would he destroy such a small village?
Judging from the looks in his eyes, many people were willing to believe that such rumors were deliberately spreading rumors behind their backs.
“Alright …”
Old man Zi Yi nodded his head again and continued, “Even though the events of recent years have nothing to do with you, four years ago, you were unable to get rid of the fact that you used the Jade Flute Sword Technique to kill people from various sects.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people’s expressions froze. Even though Xuan Qing had jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff that day during the trial in Xiao Yichen, Adept Qingxuan ordered the Heavenly Sect not to interfere in this matter, but this matter was not over.
Even if the Heavenly Sect no longer interfered, could it be that the people from the various sects had died in vain? Could it be that no one has come today to seek justice for the dead fellow disciples? It’s probably impossible.
Even though Xiao Chen knew that this matter was not over, he still came today. His gaze was still calm. He looked at Old man Zi Yi and said indifferently, “Senior, may I know what to call you?”
Old man Zi Yi’s gaze narrowed and his voice suddenly became much deeper. He even carried a faint killing intent, “My Heavenly Cloud Sect’s Xu Ling and Junior Brother Xu died under the Jade Flute Sword Technique!”
Hearing this, many people in the vicinity felt their hearts tremble. It turned out that this old man was the third elder of the Heavenly Cloud Sect. Although the Heavenly Cloud Sect was inferior to the four great profound sects, it had a long history. It could be considered a true profound sect. In the Central Plains of Immortal Essence, it had some strength.
Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently, “In that case, Mr. Xu is here today to seek justice for Junior Brother.”
Xu Ling said coldly, “Since you already know in your heart, there is no need for others to say more. Since you dare to come to Zhongyue Feng alone today, you must be prepared for everything today.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and said, “If none of you die today, how can you be willing to kill me? Is there anyone else?”
This sentence caused the hearts of many people present to tremble. There were countless people who wanted to kill him today. He really came to Zhongyue Feng. Wasn’t he really afraid of death?
At this moment, another azure figure flew over from afar. It was a white-bearded old man dressed in Qingyi. He said coldly, “Liu Qingyang of the Azure Yang Sect also wants justice for his junior brother who died four years ago under the Jade Flute Sword Technique!”
For a moment, people flew over from all directions, causing the originally bone-chilling mountain peak to be filled with killing intent and hatred. Heavy snow fell from the sky again.
“Xiao Yichen! You will undoubtedly die today!”
The crowd was filled with killing intent. There were indeed quite a few people who wanted to kill Xiao Chen today. Looking around, it was a dense patch of people who were actually here to seek revenge on him.
“For wine, song, and geometry of life, such as morning dew, the past is bitter.”
At this moment, a clear male voice suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. When everyone heard this voice, they all turned around and saw a Qingyi man walking on the mountain road below the mountain peak, holding ten wine jars with both hands. There were already two deep and shallow footprints in the snow behind him.
“Is that … the person who was expelled from the Heavenly Gate ten years ago?”
The crowd immediately began to whisper. Xiao Chen also saw that person. He had a handsome eyebrow and starry eyes. He was none other than the only friend he knew back then, but Guisi.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but recall all the memories of the past in his mind. He went to the Pingding Mountain together, to the Lianhua Palace Branch Altar together …
“Haha! Once in a hundred years, how can you miss me, Guisi?”
However, Guisi’s feet were a little bit, and he had already steadily flown to the top of the mountain. Everyone was shocked. This person had such a profound skill!
“Guisi? Ten years ago, you were kicked out of the Heavenly Gate. What are you doing in Zhongyue Peak today?”
“What? If you’re kicked out of the Heavenly Gate, can’t you come to Zhongyue Feng?”
Guisi did not seem to care much about the expulsion ten years ago. He walked over to Xiao Chen with a smile on his face and said, “Besides, I came here today just to drink a jar of wine with my former good friend.”
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard him say this and saw him walk towards Xiao Chen. Now that Xiao Chen was involved in a murder case and had something to do with the Devil Religion, others were eager to throw away their relationship with him. This person even walked over and drank with him, wouldn’t he ignite a fire on his own body? “But, Guisi, do you know who he is now?”
Unexpectedly, Guisi still had a calm smile on his face. “Who was he and who is he now? What does it have to do with me drinking with him? Besides, didn’t that senior just say that Gui Mou is no longer a member of the Heavenly Sect?”
“This …”
This sentence made everyone speechless. He walked up to Xiao Chen and smiled, “Do you still remember that when we left, you said that you would treat me to a drink next time?”
Xiao Chen did not expect that he had become the enemy of tens of millions of people. Everyone wanted to kill him, but only the person in front of him came to Zhongyue Peak to see him. He smiled bitterly and said, “But I am going to die.”
“Haha!”
Guisi raised his head and smiled, “No problem, I’ll treat you this time. See you next time, you’ll treat me.”
Xiao Chen finally smiled and said, “If I survive today’s disaster, I will definitely treat Brother Si Que to a drink in the future. Let’s go!”
Just like that, under the gaze of millions of people, the two of them strode into the Wind Cloud Pavilion and turned a blind eye to the righteous cultivators all over the world.
Arriving at the pavilion, the two of them sat down with a flick of their clothes. They slapped open two jars of wine and drank them all in one gulp. Their bearing was rather heroic.
After drinking for several jars, Guisi suddenly said, “Since Qing Emperor started the Immortal Origin Age 10,000 years ago, the Immortal Dao has flourished and the Devil Dao has retreated, but it is only on the surface. Brother Xiao, what do you think of the Righteous Dao in the world today?”
“Just a bunch of idiots.”
Xiao Chen said disdainfully and drank another jar of wine. However, Guisi clapped his hands and laughed, “Brother Xiao is right, it’s just a bunch of idiots! Haha!”
Everyone outside saw that the two of them were talking nonsense in the pavilion, humiliating the Righteous path. Many people were furious and thought in their hearts, even if the two of you had great abilities, you wouldn’t be able to fly today!
After drinking ten jars of wine, Xiao Chen’s neck looked much redder. It had been a long time since he had drunk so much. He wiped off the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said, “Friend, I’m going out. Today’s matter has nothing to do with you.”
Guisi knew that he wouldn’t let himself interfere in today’s affairs. He said, “I won’t interfere today, but …” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Poria told me to tell you something.”
“Tell me.”
However, Guisi slowly stood up. At this moment, she seemed to be looking at him from the past. She slowly said, “Poria told me to tell you that even today, in her heart, she still treats you as her junior apprentice-brother.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He recalled the day when he met Ning Village and Qianyu Nichang outside Fu Ling …
“I … can’t go back.” As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked his feet and flew out of the Wind Cloud Pavilion.
