As the Universe Turns - Chapter 336
Chapter 336 Chi Lianzi
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Zu Qing hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Chen and Xu Hao. He looked at his junior brother in front of him and said, “It was me who took in the disciples halfway. Seeing that their aptitude isn’t bad, I decided to take them as disciples so that we can carry forward our sect in the future.”
“Disciple?”
Yang He scanned the two suspiciously. Suddenly, Genuine energy froze in his palm. Seeing his murderous expression, Zu Qing was immediately shocked. He hurriedly stopped him and shouted, “Yang He! What are you doing!”
“What are you doing?”
Yang He’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Looking at the two young men in front of him, he said coldly, “Don’t you know that the Cloud Piercing Envoy can only bring two people? Now that the two of them know about us, in order to avoid complications, they must …” The killing intent in his eyes became even stronger, causing Xu Hao to tremble coldly.
“You dare!”
Zu Qing stood in front of him again, but his heart was pounding non-stop. “Idiot, idiot, this young man’s cultivation is ten times higher than yours. Don’t you want to die?” He thought.
Seeing his strange expression at this moment, Yang He suddenly felt that something was amiss. The sect had been destroyed for many years, so how could Senior Brother suddenly accept two disciples at this moment? Most importantly, at this moment, this young man wearing Qingyi actually didn’t have the slightest bit of fear in his eyes …
Seeing that he had already comprehended something, Zu Qing immediately shouted, “Yang He! You dare to touch the two of them. Your two short-lived disciples died early. Could it be that no one else is allowed to accept them?”
“You!”
Seeing that he didn’t boil the pot, Yang He angrily brushed his sleeves, “Forget it, it’s up to you. It’s just the Cloud Piercing Envoy. When the time comes, you can explain yourself!”
Zu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t cause any trouble. He glanced at Xiao Chen and Xu Hao behind him and couldn’t help but feel a bit afraid. If this young man had suddenly attacked Junior Brother, he was afraid that Junior Brother would be dead by now.
Yang He suddenly compromised, It wasn’t unreasonable. At that moment, he suddenly felt a faint sense of oppression. It wasn’t from the gray-clothed man on his senior brother’s left. He could tell with a single glance that this gray-clothed man’s cultivation was only a hundred years old. He had just reached the Soul Refining stage, and he was already over sixty years old. In the eyes of mortals, he was already an old man.
A person’s cultivation is Yi Zang, However, his age was like a tree. Unless he deliberately concealed it, he could tell at a glance that this Qingyi man on the right was only in his twenties, but his cultivation was vaguely incapable of being seen through by himself. He couldn’t help but think in his heart, Senior Brother would never suddenly accept disciples for no reason at this time. Could it be that he had been coerced by this person?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit more scared. He felt a little uncomfortable along the way, as if his back had been stared at by someone. Whenever there was any wind behind him, he would immediately concentrate and be on guard.
However, half a month had passed. The last two “Martial Nephews” did not speak much and did not make any movements. Of course, their relationship with Zu Qing did not seem very friendly. Apart from the one called Xu Hao, who occasionally said a few words, the one called Liao Wuchen had nothing to say.
On this day, according to the map, the four of them had arrived at a mountain range that was close to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain. This mountain range did not belong to any country, but it occasionally emitted light or heavy vibrations, as if spiritual energy was also leaking out.
“Pass through this mountain range and continue forward. After a few days, we will reach the border of the Cloud Kingdom.”
Zu Qing climbed a mountain peak and looked at the faintly discernible mountain peak in the distance. As he spoke, he seemed to have some misgivings in his heart.
“En … let’s go.”
Yang He glanced at the two “Martial Nephews” behind him. For some reason, his fear of this young man called “Liao Wuchen” had not subsided, but had deepened.
When dusk fell, the four of them arrived at a forest. They were just resting for a moment before leaving when a gust of wind suddenly blew over from afar. Following it was another extremely strong aura that almost made Zu Qing and Yang He unable to breathe.
“Who is it!”
The two of them immediately stood up and became alert. It was also at this moment that a red figure arrived in front of them in an instant. It was as fast as a gale. The two of them did not even blink their eyes, but they did not know how the other party had arrived.
He was wearing a scarlet red robe and holding a snake staff in his hand. He was also a white-haired old man. However, the aura emitted from his body was not as immortal as Zu Qing and the others. Instead, it carried an evil aura.
Looking at the man’s face, his cheekbones were as tall as a mountain, but his cheeks were deeply sunken. He looked like a valley, thin and bony, but his eyes were shining brightly. Adding on his aura, there was no doubt that this person was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had cultivated for more than 400 years. However, there was a hint of viciousness on his face.
Zu Qing and Yang He were both stunned. They did not dare to move, nor did they dare to breathe.
“I, Chi Lianzi … Little friends, don’t be nervous.”
Chi Lianzi glanced at the two Zu Qing brothers and called them little friends.
However, it was impossible for the two of them to say that they weren’t nervous at this moment. If the person standing in front of them was an ordinary cultivator with a 400-year-old Dao Cultivation base but had yet to reach the Nascent Soul stage, then they would definitely not be so nervous. They even dared to join hands with the two of them to fight against him.
However, the Nascent Soul aura emanating from Chi Lianzi’s body right now, There was no doubt about it. There was a difference between Nascent Soul cultivators and non-Nascent Soul cultivators. To put it bluntly, although the two of them had cultivated for three hundred years, they had yet to reach Nascent Soul. They were only Core Formation cultivators. Two Core Formation cultivators, there were ten. The Nascent Soul cultivator in front of them would disappear as long as he blew it out in one breath.
“May I … may I know what orders Senior has?”
Zu Qing suppressed the fear in his heart and tried his best to calm himself down as he asked.
Chi Lianzi looked at the two of them again and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt your two lives. Open up the universe in your sleeves.”
The two of them heard that it was actually a robbery halfway through. A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator actually came out to kill and seize treasures. Could it be that something had happened to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain as well? Or is this Chi Lianzi in front of him planning to go to the Earth Realm …
“Hmm? Is there a problem?”
When Chi Lianzi saw that the two of them did not move, his voice instantly became much deeper.
“No … no problem.”
The Zu Qing brothers were already sweating profusely behind their backs. A Nascent Soul cultivator had put too much pressure on them. Even if they knew that without those spiritual sources, they would no longer be able to go to the Earth-level Cultivation Domain, they had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, it would not only be those spiritual sources that would be missing, it would be the lives of the two of them!
The two obediently opened their sleeves. Chi Lianzi’s divine sense swept through them and immediately knew what was inside. With a roll of his hand, he immediately stored all of their useful items, be it pills, spirit talismans, or magic treasures, into his sleeves.
“Very good …”
Chi Lianzi seemed to be very satisfied. He then looked at the two young men behind him. This was the first time Xu Hao was so close to a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was already scared out of his wits. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the initiative to open the universe in his sleeve.
Chi Lianzi swept his divine sense and only took out the Spirit Gathering Talisman from inside. He didn’t care about the others. Finally, he slowly looked at Xiao Chen and said, “What about you?”
