As the Universe Turns - Chapter 339
Chapter 339 Cloud Piercing Envoy
“What … what’s wrong?”
Seeing his shocked expression, Xu Hao was even more confused. Wasn’t it a good thing to be able to enter Yun Nation now?
“No, I can’t go.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen was even more certain that he could not follow these people into Yun Nation. He had a bad premonition.
“Why?”
Xu Hao looked at him with a stunned expression. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, he looked at Zu Qing and Yang He. He didn’t expect the expressions on their faces to become exceptionally solemn and silent.
“You … you …”
Xu Hao was at a loss for what to do. Seeing that the people in the distance were already queuing up, his heart itched. It was only then that two cultivators finally arrived from Yun Nation. They rode their swords and a powerful aura came from them. They were actually two Void Refining and Dao Harmonious Realm experts.
Both of them were white-haired old men. Their faces were cold and dignified. The man on the left wore a long black robe, and the man on the right wore a white cloud robe. The originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down under the awe of the two Void Refining and Dao Harmonization experts.
The old man on the right sliced his finger and a crack appeared on the formation barrier. Just as everyone was about to rush forward, the old man on the left’s eyes widened and a sense of intimidation spread out. Everyone immediately stopped.
At this time, a few envoys from Yun Nation stepped forward and said to the crowd outside, “Next, two seniors will bring you into the country. You must observe order and obey the orders of the two seniors.”
The crowd naturally did not have any objections. They began to pass through the formation in an orderly manner. Xu Hao’s heart itched when he saw those people enter Yun Nation one by one. He couldn’t help but become anxious, “Brother Wu Chen, are we really not going in? After the formation is sealed, we won’t be able to enter …”
“We can’t follow those people in.”
At this time, Zu Qing and Yang He finally walked over. They looked at each other and took out a jade slip. There was a faint flash of spiritual light on the jade slip. The two of them immediately smiled and secretly looked towards the crowd. They whispered, “Brother Wu Chen, let’s go to a dense forest twenty miles north.”
Knowing that the two of them had already contacted the Cloud Piercing Envoy, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He tried his best to restrain his aura so that the two Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm experts would not notice. He then headed towards the dense forest to the north.
Along the way, the four of them walked very fast. Xu Hao was puzzled and asked, “Why didn’t we go in with those people just now?”
Zu Qing and Yang He remained silent, as if they already knew something. Xiao Chen also roughly guessed something and said, “If we follow those people in, we might not be able to come out again.”
“What … what do you mean?”
Xu Hao couldn’t help but be stunned. In the next moment, he felt a chill rising from behind him. Could it be that the Yun Kingdom was plotting something when those people were brought into Yun Nation?
After an incense stick, the four of them finally arrived at the dense forest twenty miles away. Zu Qing immediately took out a jade note from his sleeve and crushed it. Not long after, a figure slowly walked out from the other end of the dense forest.
That person’s entire body was hidden under a black battle robe, and he couldn’t see his appearance clearly, but judging from his aura, he should be a 400-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Cloud Piercing Envoy …”
Zu Qing and Yang He immediately rushed forward and respectfully bowed to the black-robed man in front of them. However, the black-robed man’s gaze had always landed on Xiao Chen and Xu Hao, and a cold light flashed in their eyes. “Why are there two more people? Who are they?”
Hearing Cloud Piercing Envoy’s cold voice, their hearts trembled. They looked at each other and came to a conclusion. Zu Qing whispered, “Junior Brother and I encountered some troubles on the road. Thanks to the help of these two little friends, so …”
At this point, he stopped and immediately took out a stack of Spirit Gathering Talismans filled with Spirit Sources from his sleeve, respectfully presenting them to the Cloud Piercing Envoy.
The Cloud Piercing Envoy’s gaze narrowed as he accepted the stack of Spirit Gathering Talismans and said gloomily, “But I only got the identities of the two of you …”
“Sir Chuanyun, please.”
Yang He hurriedly took out a stack of Spirit Gathering Talismans from his sleeve. The Spirit Gathering Talismans contained an extremely pure Spiritual Energy Essence. To cultivators, it was a rare item.
After Chuanyun Shi accepted their Spirit Gathering Talismans, he slowly walked towards Xiao Chen and Xu Hao and asked, “What are your names? Which country are you from?”
“Xu … Xu Hao, Yi people.”
“What about you?”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy looked at Xiao Chen again. With his divine sense, how could he not see that this young man was extraordinary? Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Wu Chen.”
Behind them, Zu Qing and Yang He’s expressions were rather nervous. Earlier, Chi Lianzi was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he was easily killed by Liao Wuchen. Although the Cloud Piercing Envoy’s cultivation was slightly higher, the two of them were still somewhat afraid. If the Cloud Piercing Envoy refused to agree, would Liao Wuchen kill him in one palm strike?
If he died, the identities of the two of them would be gone. Not to mention whether they could enter Yun Nation, even if they were in the Earth-level Cultivation Domain in the future, they would not have a foothold. Thinking of this, the two of them looked even more nervous and didn’t dare to breathe.
“Alright …”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy nodded and said, “I can bring the two of you into the country, but … you have to listen to me. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences.”
Seeing that he was serious, Zu Qing and Yang He finally heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Hao was overjoyed and said, “I will definitely listen to the orders of the Cloud Piercing Envoy!”
“Mm … Let’s go, this way.”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy looked at Xiao Chen again and didn’t say anything else. He then turned around and walked towards the other end of the forest. Zu Qing and Yang He handed Xiao Chen glances and immediately followed.
Two hours later, the few of them had already entered the territory of Yun Nation. It was not bad compared to what Xiao Chen had expected. The spiritual energy of the Earth-level Cultivation Domain was comparable to that of the Extraordinary-level Cultivation Domain. However, for some reason, the atmosphere here gave him a dull feeling.
On the other hand, Xu Hao wasn’t as excited as he thought. Only Zu Qing and Yang He were cautious and didn’t say a word on the way.
When twilight fell, they followed the Cloud Piercing Envoy to a sparsely populated town. They arrived at an old inn. When the shopkeeper saw the Cloud Piercing Envoy enter, he immediately gave a look to a clerk beside him. The clerk acted when he saw this. He then led them to a room in the courtyard. Without asking a word, he closed the door and walked out.
“Wait a moment.”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy glanced at Zu Qing and Yang He. Obviously, if the two of them wanted to stay in Yun Nation for a long time, they would need to have the identity of a Yun Nation. As for the Cloud Piercing Envoy, it would not be a matter of a day or two for him to use his identity to take money and dissipate the calamity with others.
When night fell, there was finally a soft sound of footsteps outside. The Cloud Piercing Envoy opened the door and saw a person wearing the same battle robe walk in. The person saw that there were two other youths in the room besides Zu Qing and Yang He. He immediately frowned and looked at the Cloud Piercing Envoy, “Why are there two more people?”
