As the Universe Turns - Chapter 361
Chapter 361 Yan Clan
Wuji Shangren’s shadow immediately disappeared, but Xiao Chen’s actions startled Luan Shili, Evil Nether Li, and Luo Die.
This jade letter was passed down by Wuji Shangren through his divine will. It represented Wuji Shangren’s dignity. If he crushed the jade letter recklessly, then Wuji Shangren would definitely be able to sense it. If he crushed the jade letter like this, it would be equivalent to someone in the people resisting the decree. Wuji Shangren would definitely not let him go.
“Let’s go …”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and walked forward as if nothing had happened. Only the dust from the jade slip gradually dissipated with the wind. Only then did Luan Shili and Xie You Li wake up from their shock. Looking at his back, for some reason, they inexplicably trembled.
Yanzhou City was not far from where they were at this moment, but it was not near either. It would probably take them until night to arrive.
Tonight was the full night of the fifteenth month. The moon was as bright as day. It was a thousand miles away. There were thirty-six layers of green mountains surrounding Yanzhou City. Each layer of mountain was an extremely powerful restriction. Therefore, the entire Yanzhou City could be said to be sturdy. Even cultivators at the Profound Comprehension Realm might not be able to forcefully break through.
Yanzhou City’s geographical location was also very special. It was just before the Ancient Planet Road leading from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm. If it was in the past, there would naturally be other places that could go to the Heaven Realm. However, due to the imbalance in spiritual power in the Eastern Cultivation Realm, if one wanted to go to the Heaven Realm now, they would have to take the Ancient Planet Road.
Tonight, Yan Zhou City, which was supposed to be bustling and bustling with stars and moonlight, looked exceptionally lifeless. There were no lights in the city from the past, only Yan Clan disciples patrolling under the lights.
It was no wonder the Yan Clan’s Old Master had been so nervous recently. It was only because Xiao Chen had caused too much commotion in the Earth-level Cultivation Domain these past two months that even the Orthodox Churches had regarded him as the most dangerous person. Thus, they all ordered that wherever he passed, the city guard general would open the city gate and not obstruct him in the slightest.
In the past two months, none of the various sects of the Life and Death Alliance had been able to withstand Xiao Chen’s attack. How could the Yan Clan not be on guard when they were in such a special position?
At this moment, the guards in the Yan Clan Manor were even more strict. In just a few days, the Yan Clan’s Old Master had ordered that the defensive restrictions on the Yan Clan Manor be increased by more than ten times. The purpose was to prevent Xiao Chen from suddenly rushing over and caught them off guard.
“Master … does this really have to be the case?”
In a courtyard, there were two figures under the moonlight. One of them was wearing a long purple sandalwood robe. Although his hair was bright and white, he gave off a sense of imposing majesty. This person was the Yan Clan’s old patriarch, Yan Xuanyi.
The other old man was the old butler of the Yan Clan. He was discussing Xiao Chen with Yan Xuanyi just now. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I’m still looking at this matter inappropriately. Master, why don’t you listen to me? Why don’t you let that person go?”
“Old Xu, there’s no need to say anything else.”
Yan Xuanyi’s gaze was cold, interrupting his words. He stopped and looked at him, “That person not only wants to pass through Yanzhou City, he also wants this map of our Yan Clan. If he also gives it to him, even if the Yan Clan does not lose a single soldier, what status does the Yan Clan have in the future?” “I am from a dignified Yan Clan. I have been here for a thousand years, but today I am teaching a junior to come and go freely. Old Xu, if it were you, would you agree?”
“This …”
Housekeeper Xu was still in a bit of a dilemma. The two of them said as they walked. Yan Xuanyi said, “Today, all the restriction formations in the city have been set up. Unless he has three heads and six arms, he won’t be able to leave so easily. I want to see exactly who he is. He can be so unscrupulous …”
At the end of his sentence, his eyes suddenly turned cold and frightening. Although the Yan Clan had entered the Life and Death Alliance, they were definitely not something that ordinary sects could compare to. If he obediently handed over the map to the other party and let it go, it would be too ridiculous to say it out loud.
“Then Master, are you planning to …”
This time, Butler Xu seemed to have seen through his plan. Yan Xuanyi’s gaze narrowed as he said in a deep voice, “This time, I will wait for him to arrive. No matter what, I will capture him. Old Xu, give orders tomorrow. During this period of time, let those who have not yet cultivated Nascent Soul go to the Profound Realm to avoid him. When I and the elders stay, I will meet him.”
“Alright …”
Housekeeper Xu knew that persuasion was useless, so he nodded and said, “Then Young Master and Miss … Master, what do you think?”
“They are young and vigorous. Remember not to act rashly. That brat has some ability. Wait until we capture him this time …”
As the two spoke, they arrived in front of a large hall. Normally, the hall was already lit with candles, but tonight, it was pitch black. Only two disciples stood in front of the hall, motionless like wooden stakes.
Yan Xuanyi looked at the two of them and asked coldly, “It’s already late at night, why don’t you take the lamp?”
However, the two disciples did not reply. They did not even move their eyes. Yan Xuanyi sensed that something was amiss. At this moment, a cold aura suddenly came from within the hall, followed by a cold and indifferent male voice, “Old Master Yan … is this the person I was talking about?”
“You …”
Yan Xuanyi suddenly stifled and his eyes narrowed. Only then did he see that there was actually a figure sitting on the chair at the front of the hall. That was his seat. Who would dare to sit on it normally?
“Who is it!”
Yan Xuanyi’s mind trembled. With a wave of his hand, an extremely powerful Qi Blade immediately whistled towards the figure at the front of the hall. However, that figure was none other than Xiao Chen. He raised his sleeve and blocked the Qi Blade from the outside. He said indifferently, “Old Master Yan, wasn’t that what I said just now?”
“You are … Wu Chen!”
Yan Xuanyi was suddenly shocked. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. A chill had completely cooled down from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He had never expected that he was still talking about how to capture the other party, but at this moment, the other party had already quietly arrived at his mansion and was waiting for him here!
Not to mention why none of the guards had been alerted, just how did he enter Yan Zhou City and the restriction formations inside and outside Yan Manor?
Thinking of this, Yan Xuanyi’s expression changed drastically. His entire body was like a pond of ice. This young man in front of him was simply even more terrifying than a ghost. What exactly was his cultivation level?
“Old Master, there’s no need to be nervous. I’m here for one thing.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly walked down. Butler Xu was also completely stunned. No wonder there were so many sects. Not a single one of them was able to resist this person. Just how terrifying was this person …
“You … want a map?”
After all, Yan Xuanyi had already reached the peak of the Dao Harmonization Realm. Although his mind trembled at that moment, he quickly calmed down. This was his place, and there were countless restriction formations inside and outside. No matter how powerful this person was, what fear did he have? If he were to risk his life, he might not be able to capture the other party …
Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the hall. His face was slightly cold under the moonlight as he said indifferently, “Give me the map. I am guarantees that every flower and grass in Yanzhou City will not be damaged in the slightest.”
“Humph!”
Yan Xuanyi snorted coldly, “What if I don’t …”
At this moment, his gaze became extremely cold. He clearly understood in his heart that if he handed over the map like this, his Yan Clan’s status in the Life and Death Alliance would definitely plummet. And if he could capture this person with all his might, then his Yan Clan’s status …
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying his gaze became. A mellow Genuine energy had also secretly condensed in his palm.
Xiao Chen still stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “Since I am can come and go from the myriad restrictions without a sound, Old Master Yan can try to capture I am. However, this time, the lives of thousands of people from the Yan Clan are at stake. Old Master … has really thought it through.”
