As the Universe Turns - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Hide
Such a large valley could accommodate almost a city. The restrictions in this area were naturally made up of countless formations. Xiao Chen carefully arrived at the edge of the valley. With his keen divine sense, he found a gap between the two formations and quietly penetrated it.
However, just passing through the formation attracted the attention of the two Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm elders. Xiao Chen immediately held his breath and hid behind the two boulders, not daring to move.
Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations in the valley were too great. If it weren’t for his extraordinary Spiritual Sense, it would be very difficult for him to detect anything with his Spiritual Sense. The two Void Refining and Dao Harmonization old men looked over and ignored him when they saw that nothing was happening.
Only when the two old men’s attention slowly diverted did Xiao Chen continue to sneak into the valley carefully. There were too many soldiers patrolling along the way. He had to not be discovered. Otherwise, with his current state, the situation might be even worse.
There were many caves in the valley. Some of them were formed naturally, while others were dug out by human beings. However, their function was to provide accommodation for the people here. This place was isolated from the outside world. Obviously, it had not been a day or two since Yun Nation had sent people here to fill up the cracks in Spiritual Energy. As for the last ten thousand people, they should be from the latest batch. It was unknown where the former people had gone.
But now, Xiao Chen had no intention of meddling in these matters. The most urgent matter was to find a hidden cave and try to break through before Elder Devil Flame Religion’s Ten Flames caught up to him.
Finally, after an incense stick, he found a dark cave. It was simple and crude, and the bed was made of a few wooden boards. The bedding on it was already wet and moldy, giving off a stinking smell. It must have been a long time since he had lived in it.
Although no one would normally come to this cave, if the situation wasn’t urgent today, he wouldn’t have chosen such a dangerous place to make a breakthrough.
Breaking through to the Concept Realm required even more caution than breaking through to the Realm. Once he was disturbed, he was afraid that it would lead to serious consequences that he would never be able to make up for. If it was during the crucial period of his breakthrough, not to mention an expert at the Dao Harmonization Realm, even a Qi Refining Disciple with only twenty years of cultivation would be able to heavily injure his soul. He was afraid that he would never be able to make up for it.
Therefore, when cultivators broke through their cultivation, they would usually set up many restrictions in advance and then go into seclusion. They would never take such a desperate risk as he did.
“Devil Flame Religion … if I succeed in Dao Harmony today, it will be your day of revision.”
After sitting down, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately calmed down, not being disturbed by the outside world. Then, he spread his True Essence all over his body, instantly entering an ethereal state, allowing him to better comprehend the Undying Concept.
Time slowly passed. Outside, there were only seven Ten Fire Elders left in Devil Flame Religion, and they had already chased after the restrictive valley.
“Shh … he’s from the Yun Nation Orthodox Church.”
Xuan Yunzi immediately caused the few people behind him to withdraw their auras. He never expected that Yun Nation would secretly let so many people gather here to do something unknown.
The relationship between the Life and Death Alliance and the Orthodox Churches had always been delicate. They were neither sworn enemies nor allies. Although the various sects of the Life and Death Alliance existed within the borders of various countries, the Orthodox Churches would never allow people to surround and annihilate them in those places.
“That brat … must have entered this place.”
Xue Yanzi and Ghost God Alarm slowly moved up. They could sense that the Life and Death Chasing Talisman on Xiao Chen’s body had been severed here, indicating that the other party had entered this restrictive valley.
“What should we do now?”
The few of them frowned deeply. Originally, capturing that brat today was already a certainty, but who knew what the Yun Nation Orthodox Church was doing here? Get that kid to hide.
Although the Life and Death Alliance and the Orthodox Churches did not offend each other normally, this was presumably a secret important place in Yun Nation. If they forcefully barged in like this, they would inevitably cause a conflict between the two sides. Devil Flame Religion alone was far from being a match for the Orthodox Church of Yun Nation.
“What should we do?”
Xuan Yunzi was the head of the Ten Fire Elders. At this moment, Xue Yanzi and the ghosts and gods hidden in the black mist looked at him, hoping that he could come up with an idea as soon as possible. Now that three elders had died, if they returned without success, they would probably be heavily punished.
“Let me think …”
Suddenly, Xuan Yunzi’s eyes became abnormally cold, causing him, who originally looked like a fairy, to feel a chilling aura, causing people to not dare to look directly at him.
Suddenly, he pinched a seal in his hand. Blood Flame Child and the shocked divine sense of ghosts and gods immediately entered his divine sea. At this moment, only the three of them could hear what the three of them were saying.
Xue Yanzi and the ghost god were shocked to see him suddenly pulling his divine sense into his divine sea. They were puzzled and asked, “Xuan Yunzi, what are you doing?”
Inside the divine sea, the divine senses of the three of them floated in the air and transformed into the appearances of the three of them. Xuan Yunzi’s gaze was cold, and killing intent could be seen in his eyes. He said in a low voice, “What does Luan Shili usually do to us?”
Xue Yanzi and the Ghost God were even more shocked when they heard him address him by the name of the sect master. They had already vaguely realized something. They only heard the Ghost God’s cold voice, “This time, even if we go all out to bring that brat back, those magic treasures and cultivation techniques will not be ours.”
“That’s right …”
Xuan Yunzi’s gaze turned even colder. He said gloomily, “Luan Shili has always been domineering, relying on his cultivation to surpass us. He is no longer as lenient to us as the previous sect master. This time, even if we try our best to bring that brat back, what benefits can we get? It’s just a saying, ‘Today, you’ve done a great job. I’m very happy. Come, host a banquet!'”
The more he said, the more indignant Xue Yanzi and Ghost God Jing felt. The three of them had made great contributions to the Devil Flame Religion. Without them, how could the Devil Flame Religion be so prosperous in just a hundred years? How could he enter the middle ranks of the Life and Death Alliance in one fell swoop?
Xue Yanzi said, “Xuan Yunzi, just say it. What should we do now?”
Xuan Yunzi narrowed his eyes and said, “You should have seen all the cultivation techniques and magic treasures on that brat. If it weren’t for the Life and Death Chasing Talisman, we wouldn’t be able to catch up to him at all. What would happen if we obtained such techniques and magic treasures for the three of us?”
Xue Yanzi and the ghost god were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that he actually wanted to steal these treasures.
Xuan Yunzi continued, “So today, no matter what, we must capture that person. We will work together to break Yun Nation’s restriction. If they come to stop us, even if we kill all of them and shatter the entire valley, we will definitely capture that person. We will not hesitate …”
The more he listened to him, the more frightened Xue Yanzi and the ghosts and gods felt. Doing so, wouldn’t Devil Flame Religion and the Yun Nation Orthodox Church be on par with each other? At that time, it was impossible for them to return to Devil Flame Religion. At this moment, the two of them finally understood what Xuan Yunzi meant. They actually wanted to steal treasures and betray the Life and Death Alliance.
