As the Universe Turns - Chapter 340
Chapter 340 Separate
The Cloud Piercing Envoy put his hands in his sleeves and glanced at him. He said indifferently, “With two more people temporarily, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to determine the identities of two more people, right?”
“This …”
The black-robed man seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. The Cloud-wearing Envoy glanced at him and slowly stretched out a hand from his sleeve. With a “whoosh” sound, he flicked a talisman towards him, “Within three days.”
The black-robed man held the talisman in his hand. This talisman was used for storage. There were obvious advantages to it. When the Cloud Piercing Envoy saw that he was still hesitant, his voice became much colder. “Why? Can’t I?”
“Alright, alright …”
The black-robed man hurriedly raised his head and saw the other party’s cold eyes. He didn’t dare to say anything else. He put away the storage talisman and took out two jade notes from his sleeve. He carefully handed them to the Cloud Piercing Envoy, “These are the identities of the two of them before.”
“Mm …”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy took the jade note from him and nodded slightly, “Go, remember, one is called Liao Wuchen, the other is called Xu Hao.”
“Yes … little farewell.”
The black-robed man cupped his hands and immediately turned around to retreat. After he left, the Cloud Piercing Envoy turned around and looked at Zu Qing and Yang He. He said indifferently, “This is your ident. I.ty.” With that, he flicked his finger and threw the two jade notes into their hands.
“Thank you, Cloud Piercing Envoy!”
Zu Qing and Yang He held the jade note tightly in their hands. The excitement on their faces could not be suppressed. From today onwards, they were people from Yun Nation, people from the Earth-level Cultivation Domain. From now on, there was no need to be afraid.
“Mm …”
The Cloud Piercing Envoy nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Chen and Xu Hao, saying, “You two wait here for three days. Remember, it’s best not to go anywhere until you get your identity.”
“Yes, yes …”
Xu Hao hurriedly smiled and nodded his head. The Cloud Piercing Envoy looked at Zu Qing and Yang He again. Without saying anything else, he immediately turned around and left.
“Cloud Piercing Envoy, take your time …”
Zu Qingyanghe and Zu Qingyanghe still had smiles on their faces as they watched him leave. Only after they disappeared did they turn around. The smiles on their faces slowly disappeared and gradually turned into expressions of fear. They looked at Xiao Chen with trepidation, “Brother Wu Chen, just now …”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Xiao Chen didn’t want to make things difficult for the two of them. He pointed his finger and immediately removed the Yin Yang Profound Qi from Zu Qing’s body. After removing the Yin Yang Profound Qi, Zu Qing felt extremely comfortable. As if he had been granted amnesty, he continuously said, “Thank you Brother Wu Chen …”
Xiao Chen glanced at the boundless night outside and said, “I have to trouble you two seniors along the way. You can leave now.”
The two of them exchanged glances. Zu Qing turned his head and laughed, “Brother Wu Chen, take care of yourself and Little Friend Xu. We’ll see each other again.” As he spoke, he looked at Yang He. The two of them left the door and quietly went out of the courtyard.
After the two of them left, the stars and moons in the sky dimmed. Xiao Chen suddenly felt a little lonely. Seeing Xu Hao still standing in his room, he said, “After three days, we’ll get the identity jade slip. Let’s separate as well.”
“Ah …”
Only then did Xu Hao regain his senses, stare at him dully, and nodded.
Three days passed. This morning, the black-robed man finally came again. It was obvious that the matter had been settled. He quietly gave the two of them two jade notes.
Xiao Chen held a jade note in his hand. With a slight sense, he sensed the information condensed from the Spiritual Energy inside. From then on, he had the identity of Yun Nation. Of course, this identity was fake, but it was convenient for him to travel in the Earth-level Cultivation Domain.
The black-robed man looked at the two and smiled. “Gentlemen, the matter has been settled. I’ll take my leave first …” He turned around and went outside without stopping.
Xu Hao held the jade note in his hand. He couldn’t conceal the excitement on his face. After a long time, he put away the jade note and looked at Xiao Chen, “Brother Wu Chen, let’s …”
“Let’s leave this place first.”
Xiao Chen looked outside. The entire Yun Nation was very large, and the Earth-level Cultivation Domain was even larger. And this was only a small border town in Yun Nation. It was almost impossible for him to get news about the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow here.
The two of them left the small town and arrived outside a mountain range in the afternoon. Looking around, they saw that the forest was like a wash, the scenery was picturesque, and the wind was gentle. However, in front of the two of them, there were two paths that led to different places.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at the distant peaks. “Let’s split up here,” he said.
“Brother Wu Chen … are you leaving now?”
Xu Hao also stopped. He recalled the past few days. Although he knew that this person’s cultivation was far above his, he wasn’t as scared as Zu Qingyang and He. He smiled and said, “Alright, let’s split up here. Brother Wu Chen, see you in the future!”
As he spoke, he cupped his fists towards Xiao Chen. Suddenly, he remembered something and said with some hesitation, “Well … that Life and Death Alliance, I heard in the inn that day that there are many sects in this Life and Death Alliance, mostly evil people … Brother Wu Chen, you must be careful.”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He wasn’t very clear about this Life and Death Alliance. He would have to wait until he had time to understand it. After all, Chi Lianzi had given him a Life and Death Talisman before he died. He had no choice but to guard against it.
Next, five days after the two separated, Xiao Chen arrived at a bustling city. With the identity jade slip, it would be much easier for him to enter and exit the city. The first thing he did was to get a map.
In the afternoon, he found the black market in the city. There were many trades in the black market. There were some that could be seen and some that could not be seen. In short, it was not difficult to buy a map.
When he arrived at a grocery store in the black market, the shopkeeper didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic when he saw someone enter. Xiao Chen walked up without making any detours and directly asked for a map.
When the shopkeeper saw that he wanted a map, he looked at him with a strange gaze for a while. Then, he slowly stood up from his chair and went to the inner room. Not long after, he took out a dusty scroll.
“The thing you want.”
The shopkeeper was still calm. He threw the scroll on the table and sat back on the chair. Xiao Chen opened the scroll. There were mountains and rivers painted inside, as well as many towns. However, this was only a map of Yun Nation.
“Is there only a map of the territory?”
“I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the Imperial Palace if you want a map from outside the country.” The shopkeeper glanced sideways at him and said calmly.
Xiao Chen didn’t ask any further. He put away the map, placed two spirit stones on the table, and then turned around to leave. However, when he went outside, he suddenly noticed that a divine sense had landed on him from the shadows.
Perhaps, when he entered the black market, he had already been watched, but at this moment, he still remained silent and went outside.
Outside the black market, Xiao Chen quickened his pace and drilled into a dense alley. A black figure quickly followed behind him. However, the terrain inside the alley was complicated, and the black-clothed man behind him quickly disappeared. Unknowingly, he circled a dead end.
“Tell me, why are you following me …”
An ice-cold voice sounded behind him. The black-clothed man was suddenly shocked. He turned around and saw what seemed to be the coldest pair of eyes in the world, almost suffocating him.
