As the Universe Turns - Chapter 332
Chapter 332 Turbid Qi
“Go … to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain?”
Xu Hao was stunned. At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into some sort of confusion.
In his entire life, he had never dared to think of going to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain. It was as if the Earth-level Cultivation Domain was the other side that he could not reach. Under the heavens, how many Nascent Soul cultivators wanted to go to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain, but in the end, they also failed. Not to mention, he was only a tiny Divine Refinement Realm cultivator who had returned to the Void Origin Realm? It was like a heaven that mortals would never reach.
“Go to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain.”
Xiao Chen said once again with certainty. For some reason, the spiritual energy of the Yi Kingdom, a few countries of the Mortal Cultivation Domain, was leaking out. However, the countries of the Earth Cultivation Domain did not send an envoy down. What Immortal Alliance did not send people down to inspect it? It seemed that this matter was not ordinary.
“But … But …”
Xu Hao finally regained his senses and looked at him, “How do we get to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain? I don’t even know where the Earth-level Cultivation Domain is …”
“Go to Liangzhou City.”
“Liangzhou City?”
When Xu Hao heard that he still wanted to go to Liangzhou City, he was even more puzzled. “But didn’t that person just say that the Liang Kingdom had mutinied, the Orthodox Church had been destroyed, and the Liang King had also hanged himself in the palace. Right now, there are all traitors over there. How are we going to go?”
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Liangzhou City and said, “Although the royal family of the Liang Kingdom has collapsed, the map from the Mortal Cultivation Domain to the Earth Cultivation Domain must still exist in the palace. We need a map to the Earth Cultivation Domain now.”
Xu Hao naturally knew that if he wanted to go to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain, he wouldn’t care about the rest. However, he needed at least a map to know where to go. Seeing that Xiao Chen didn’t look like he was joking, he nodded his head forcefully, “Alright! Then it’s not too late. Let’s go to Liangzhou City now!”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The two of them moved and immediately headed towards Liangzhou City.
Along the way, they saw many people coming from that direction, wanting to seek refuge in the Yi Kingdom. However, how could these people know that the Yi Kingdom was about to collapse?
After Xu Hao saw these people, he would occasionally remind them that Yi Country was no longer able to go, but in the end, it was useless. These people only cared about fleeing, who would listen to his words at this time? He simply ignored it.
Three days later, the two of them had finally arrived at Liang Country’s capital, Liang Zhou.
However, at this time, Liangzhou City had long since lost its former prosperity. The streets were deserted, and broken lanterns swayed in the wind. Occasionally, a few withered leaves flew past their feet, making rustling sounds.
“How could this be …”
Looking at the capital city that was almost like a dead city, Xu Hao couldn’t believe it. Even if Liangzhou City was occupied by the rebels, it shouldn’t be like this. How could the streets be so deserted, not even a single rebel could be seen …
“Let’s go and take a look ahead.”
The two of them continued forward. When they were close to the imperial palace, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and said, “Wait!”
“Brother Wu Chen … what’s wrong?”
Xu Hao raised his head to look at him, and then looked at the wisps of black gas pervading the air in the distance. He was shocked, “What are those …”
“It’s turbid qi …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression suddenly became exceptionally solemn. The faint traces of turbid energy seeping out of the ground in the distance did not seem to come from the mortal world.
At the same time, it was as if strands of turbid air were gradually spreading over because of the arrival of strangers. Xu Hao’s face was shocked, “Brother Wu Chen, this turbid air is spreading over!”
“Turbid Qi … Turbid Qi … Ugh!”
Xiao Chen suddenly felt a burst of intense pain in his head. In that instant, a picture of a village appeared in his mind. Layers after layers of turbid air filled the village. It was … an ancient village!
“Why is this happening … Why is this turbid energy the same as the turbid energy in the ancient village …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a splitting headache, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot. Xu Hao saw that his appearance had suddenly become so terrifying, as if he had suddenly gone crazy. He was also slightly shocked, and he said in a trembling voice, “Brother Wu Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
“Turbid Qi … Turbid Qi …”
Xiao Chen covered his head with both hands, and his expression became somewhat painful. He didn’t know if the scene in his mind was an illusion or something. In short, it was as if it was the scene when the ancient village was destroyed, and turbid energy swept through the entire village …
The entire village was filled with the dense turbid air. Apart from the baby itself, no one survived. Once the turbid air invaded, no one would be able to survive. However, at that time, he miraculously survived …
“Brother Wu Chen …”
“Watch out!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally regained his senses. He just happened to see a dozen or so figures pouncing over. Those people’s bodies were filled with murderous aura, and their eyes glowed with a dark green light. Their entire bodies emitted a foul stench. Even their skin and flesh had already rotted. These were no longer living people, but corpse charms that had been contaminated by the murderous aura!
Xiao Chen pulled Xu Hao away in an instant, but the speed of the dozen corpses was extremely fast. Before the two of them could stand firm, they pounced on him in an instant.
After the two of them dodged again, they heard the sound of “fiendish fiendish” rumbling in their ears. When they looked down from a high place, they saw that the entire city was filled with such corpse charms, densely packed together.
“These … are they all rebels?”
A look of disbelief appeared on Xu Hao’s face. Could it be that these hundreds of thousands of rebels had all turned into monsters with walking corpses?
Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Being infected by the muddy Qi, becoming a corpse charm, not dying nor stiffening, feeding on flesh and blood in the mortal world, living on resentment … Be careful, these are all people infected by the muddy Qi, don’t touch the muddy Qi beneath them.”
Just as he finished speaking, a mysterious light suddenly rushed out from the palace, and an extremely powerful array Spiritual Energy followed suit.
“There are still living people inside. Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and immediately took out his flying sword and flew towards the palace with Xu Hao.
When they arrived near the walls of the palace, they saw many imperial guards guarding it. It seemed that with the destruction of the Orthodox Church, the Liang Kingdom had already been annihilated in name. Now, the rebel leaders had taken over the power. Those officials and troops who originally did not want to die could only follow the lead of the rebel leaders.
However, the Orthodox Church of Liang Kingdom was not weak. Just a few hundred thousand rebels would definitely not be able to destroy it. It should have been accidentally repairing the Spiritual Energy crack and encountered the violent spiritual energy collision.
Now that the Liang Kingdom’s spiritual energy was leaking out, it wouldn’t be long before it would be destroyed. However, the rebel leader had finally overthrown the rule of the Liang King and the Orthodox Church. How could he abandon this great country and seek refuge abroad like everyone else?
At this moment, when he saw two people riding their swords in midair, the palace guards on the city wall were all shocked. The leader of the imperial army did not expect that there were still living people in the city. He shouted, “Who is it! Stop!”
