As the Universe Turns - Chapter 362
Chapter 362 Compromise
“You …”
Yan Xuanyi suddenly felt his breath stifle, and an inexplicable chill rose from behind him. He asked himself about his cultivation, and there were few people in the Earth Realm who could compare to him. However, facing this young man, he did not know why, but it gave him an exceptionally great pressure.
Perhaps such a young man could cultivate to such a terrifying level. This was already beyond common sense. Therefore, in his eyes, this young man of unknown origin was emitting a mysterious aura everywhere. It was as if the legendary ancient clan that had disappeared had suddenly appeared before the eyes of the world.
“Sir … who exactly is he?”
Yan Xuanyi focused and seemed to have made up his mind. No matter who the other party was, it was impossible for him to hand over the map so easily.
Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter who I am. Old Master Yan, just do as I say.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Wuji Shangren will pursue this matter?”
Yan Xuanyi pinched his fingers tightly. The muscles on his face twitched a few times. Although he felt helpless, he could only use that senior from the Heaven Realm to suppress this person in front of him.
However, the results weren’t as good as he had expected. Xiao Chen’s expression was calm, as if he didn’t take Wuji Shangren seriously at all. He said indifferently, “You have to bet on everything. Otherwise, why would I am come here?”
At this point, Xiao Chen walked closer to him and looked at him with two gazes. “It’s just like Old Master Yan planning to capture I am. Isn’t it also a bet? Unfortunately, this bet is too big. Old Master Yan probably won’t be able to afford to lose …”
“You …”
Yan Xuanyi suddenly froze. This time, he was truly intimidated by the young man in front of him. At this moment, a gloomy male laugh suddenly came from the shadows. “Old Master Yan, I think … he’s right. This bet is too big. You’re too old, so it’s better not to play with such excitement.”
“Who is it?”
Yan Xuanyi’s gaze focused. He saw two figures walking towards him from the shadows. They were Luan Shili and Xie You Li. Their cultivation had increased by quite a bit. It would not be difficult for them to sneak into the Yan Manor quietly.
“It’s you …”
Yan Xuanyi’s expression became even gloomier. There were so many people in his mansion tonight, yet he was actually unable to detect them at all. Obviously, his divine sense was quietly blocked, and he was able to silently block his divine sense. Luan Shili and Xie You Li definitely did not have the ability, only this mysterious young man in front of them …
Thinking of this, Yan Xuanyi felt a chill run down his spine. Luan Shili glanced at him and said gloomily, “Old Master, why don’t you take out that map and save me and Brother Xie some trouble? Otherwise, it won’t be good for anyone …”
The more Luan Shili said, the colder his voice became. Yan Xuanyi clenched his fingers tightly and finally sighed. The stakes in this bet were too big. He really couldn’t afford to lose. He said to the butler beside him, “Old Xu, go fetch the things in my study drawer.”
“Yes … Yes.”
Housekeeper Xu finally heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly replied and hurriedly went outside. Not long after, he retrieved a box containing the most important map.
“The thing you want … is right here.”
Yan Xuanyi’s expression was ugly. This was the first time in his life that he had been threatened like this, but he had no choice but to do what the other party said. If he comprehended the Concept and reached the Profound Realm in one go, how could he be threatened like this?
“Thank you, Old Master.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He took out the map and glanced at the two people behind him. Then, he went outside.
He came here tonight to make a bet. If he lost the bet, the countless restrictions in Yanzhou City would activate. It would not be easy for him to escape unscathed. Fortunately, Yan Xuanyi did not dare to place this bet because it was the lives of everyone in Yanzhou City.
At this moment, Yan Xuanyi was still standing motionlessly on the spot. He watched as the three of them disappeared. As the wind blew past, he felt waves of chill on his back. Only then did he discover that the clothes on his back had already been soaked in cold sweat.
At this time, Steward Xu slowly walked over and whispered, “Master …”
“Afterlife is terrifying … Needless to say.”
Yan Xuanyi stretched out his hand and interrupted him. His eyes were still fixed on the direction in which Xiao Chen and the others had disappeared. This time, he had secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he had to enter seclusion to comprehend the Concept. He would never come out until he reached the Concept of Enlightenment!
Outside Yanzhou City, there was a bright moon in the sky, illuminating the outskirts of the city as bright as day. Luan Shili and Xie You Li followed behind, constantly giving each other glances, but none of them spoke. Seeing that the two of them wanted to say something, Xiao Chen stopped and said, “Is something the matter?”
“This …”
Luan Shili and Xie You Li also stopped. They wanted to talk about Soul Essence, but they didn’t know how to speak. Xiao Chen naturally knew what they were thinking. Since they had agreed to return the Soul Essence, they wouldn’t break their promise. He flicked his finger and flicked the jade note that sealed the two Soul Essence.
The two of them took their Soul Essences and finally felt a burst of relief in their hearts. Xiao Chen said, “The Soul Essences have been returned to the two of them. See you later.” After saying that, he continued forward.
The two of them watched his gradually disappearing back and didn’t even think about meeting again. Especially Luan Shili, who seemed to have forcefully pulled his life back from the Gate of Hell, wishing they could never see him again.
The two of them exchanged a glance. At this moment, they suddenly felt like they were in a great calamity. However, it was not Houfu that followed. Instead, they were going to face the pursuit of the Life and Death Alliance.
…
At this moment, in a bamboo forest a hundred kilometers away from Yanzhou City, there was a quiet pond at the end. The water surface was sparkling, and by the side of the pond sat a woman from Zi Yi.
The moonlight reflected off the water made the woman’s face as white as snow. Her hands were constantly pouring towards the acupoints on her chest. However, the cold sweat on her body wet her clothes layer by layer, making her breathe more and more hurriedly. Her originally fair face gradually turned slightly red.
“Why didn’t you escape?”
Right at this moment, a faint male voice suddenly sounded from the bamboo forest. The woman from Zi Yi was suddenly shocked. She was no other than the owner of Myriad Butterflies Valley. At this moment, her face suddenly turned red and white. It was obvious that the Yin Yang profound energy in her body had exploded.
“You …”
Luo Die clenched her teeth tightly. At this moment, the Yin Yang profound energy in her body started to explode. It made her feel as if millions of insects had crawled past her body. It was numb and itchy. She only wanted to tear off her clothes and jump into the icy cold pool. However, this would only cause the Yin Yang profound energy in her body to backlash even more heavily.
“You … what did you do to me? Why don’t you undo it for me …”
Luo Die’s breathing became more and more rapid. Just now, she had tried many methods. All the methods to remove the restriction had been exhausted, but she was unable to unlock the two strands of Yin Yang profound energy in her body. She could not figure out what kind of restriction method was this? It was actually so powerful.
“If you move again, I don’t care if your meridians are broken or if you are half-baked.” Xiao Chen’s voice was indifferent as he approached step by step.
“You …”
Luo Die glared at him hatefully. She gritted her teeth and pointed her fingers towards her chest’s Shanzhong acupoint. However, she let out a scream of “Ah”. The profound energy in her body instantly ran around endlessly, causing her to cry in pain.
Xiao Chen frowned. He was afraid that she would break her meridians by randomly circulating her technique. He condensed his two fingers and sent several strands of True Qi into her body. Only then did he temporarily neutralize the backlash of Yin Yang profound Qi in her body.
Luo Die slowly calmed down and looked at him with hatred, “Let me tell you, if something happens to me, you can’t think about it properly. Don’t think that you can walk around the world just because you have some ability. Only after you go to the Heaven Realm will you know that you are nothing at all.”
