As the Universe Turns - Chapter 376
Chapter 376 Border
Wuji Shangren’s aura was approaching from behind, and the situation was urgent. Luo Die’s heart was beating violently, and he almost stopped breathing.
“Close your eyes!”
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He reached out and held her in his arms. In an instant, he executed the Instant Step Cosmos, and the two of them instantly disappeared from where they were.
Not far ahead was the Golden Crow Kingdom’s garrison. There were about a thousand people scattered all over the place. About a hundred of them felt a gust of wind sweeping past them, as if something had flown over. However, in the end, they were unable to see anything clearly.
“Just now … what was there to go over there?”
Everyone looked at each other. They all raised their heads and looked up into the sky. They saw that the formation was still circulating, as if nothing had changed.
“Are you dumbfounded?”
“Who knows? Anyway, it hasn’t been peaceful lately … Forget it. Stay here and wait for a few years before leaving the frontier fortress.”
As the crowd spoke, a powerful aura suddenly came from afar, followed by a gust of strong wind, causing the nearby tree branches to shake their leaves.
“Who is it!”
More than a thousand people immediately became alert. The clouds in front of them surged endlessly. A figure suddenly flew down from the clouds and turned into a white-bearded old man wearing an ink robe. It was Wuji Shangren.
He had just caught up to this point when his divine sense was interrupted. Thus, he was certain that Xiao Chen and the other two must have fled into the Golden Crow Kingdom. However, he was a cultivator from the Cold Heaven Kingdom and had a cultivation above the Profound Comprehension Realm. Therefore, if he wanted to enter the Golden Crow Kingdom, he had to obtain the documents issued by the Cold Heaven Orthodox Church.
At this moment, when the two generals stationed at the border saw that the cultivators’ cultivation was extraordinary and gave them a faint feeling of suffocating pressure, the two of them immediately stepped forward and looked at Wuji Shangren. They narrowed their brows and said, “This is the border of our Golden Crow Kingdom. Who are you?”
Wuji Shangren did not dare to offend the Golden Crow Nation, so he could only slowly step forward and cupped his hands and said, “The Poverty Dao Cold Heaven Nation has no choice but to leave the Yao Island Dao.”
“People from the Cold Heaven Kingdom?”
When the two generals heard that they were cultivators of the Cold Heaven Nation, they were even more suspicious. The golden-robed general on the left asked, “Since you are a senior of the Cold Heaven Nation, I wonder why you came here today?”
Wuji Shangren glanced inside and said, “Well, there are two villains of the Pauper Dao who stole my pill manual and sword manual. Just now, the Pauper Dao has been tracking them all the way to this point, but they lost their senses. I believe the two of them must have escaped into your country. I hope the two generals can let the Pauper Dao in and capture the two villains back. Thank you endlessly.”
When the two generals heard this, they looked at him doubtfully. The golden-robed general on the left said, “But just now, we stationed here and did not see anyone intrude. Senior, did you make a mistake?”
“There is no mistake. My two evil disciples have learned an Earth Elemental Technique, so they must have escaped into your country with this evil technique. That’s why the two generals were unable to discover it in time.”
At this point, he saw that the two of them were still unconvinced. He continued, “My two evil disciples are unwilling to change. They like to kill people. Recently, I discovered that they actually used human blood to cultivate magic. If they break into your country like this, I’m afraid that there will be a calamity in a few days. At that time, I’m afraid that the two generals will be implicated. Why don’t I let them in and capture them?”
Hearing this, the two of them believed it. This period of time was already not peaceful. If they really let some evil cultivator in and caused any trouble in the Golden Crow Kingdom, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
The two of them looked at Wuji Shangren and doubtfully said, “Senior, don’t be anxious. Wait for the two of us to use the Thousand Miles Formation to investigate. If those two sins of yours … the two disciples really are in our Golden Crow Kingdom, they will definitely appear in the formation and have nowhere to escape.”
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you two generals.”
Wuji Shangren nodded. He was unable to enter, so he went to stand on a hillside. The two generals in the territory exchanged glances and immediately ordered people to activate the formation.
The Golden Crow Kingdom’s Thousand Miles Formation was connected by spells every thousand miles, so it could even detect situations tens of thousands of miles away.
At this moment, after the formation was activated, a surge of Spiritual Energy immediately spread out, forming a screen of light in mid-air. Inside the screen, it was like a scene within a hundred kilometers. Anyone who was suspicious would find it difficult to escape the detection of the formation.
A moment later, the search had been completed within a few hundred kilometers. No suspicious person had appeared inside the array light screen. Wuji Shangren stood outside and couldn’t help but frown.
The two generals had no choice but to ask someone to use the formation again and search a thousand miles away. However, it was still fruitless. Wuji Shangren frowned even deeper.
About half an hour later, the formation had already searched ten thousand kilometers away, but there were still no suspicious people. The two generals finally gave up. If they continued searching, they might disturb the Orthodox Church.
When Wuji Shangren saw them close the formation, he was slightly surprised, “General, why did you close the formation?”
The golden-robed general on the left glanced at him. After searching for so long, he didn’t even see a figure. He said impatiently, “Could it be that Senior’s two disciples have grown wings? In such a short period of time, they can fly ten thousand kilometers away?”
The red-robed general on the right continued, “We have searched for the two people within 10,000 kilometers. I believe that the two disciples of Senior have not entered our Golden Crow Nation. Senior should look for them elsewhere.”
“This …”
Wuji Shangren narrowed his eyes. It was impossible. His divine sense was severed here. Because there was a restriction formation blocking his entry into the Golden Crow Kingdom, it was difficult for his divine sense to re-enter. Therefore, he was certain that the two of them must be hiding inside, but why could he not find them?
No matter how powerful that kid’s escape technique was, it was impossible for him to escape ten thousand kilometers away in a short period of time. However, where exactly did the two of them hide? Why couldn’t even the Golden Crow Kingdom’s Thousand Miles Formation be found?
Seeing that he was still unwilling to leave, the two generals remembered that the other party’s cultivation was far above their own, so they did not dare to be too rude.
The red-robed general said, “Senior has already reached the Profound Comprehension Realm. If we cannot produce the documents of the Cold Heaven Orthodox Church, we will let Senior enter again. If the Lord of the Orthodox Church finds out about this, he will lose his head. Senior, please don’t make things difficult for the two of you.”
Wuji Shangren’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. With his cultivation, it wasn’t difficult for him to forcefully cross the border. However, he was afraid that he would get into a lot of trouble. If it was only the small countries of the Earth Realm, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, the Golden Crow Kingdom was one of the four ancient countries of the Heaven Realm. Even if he was a Wuji Shangren, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a pond in the distance. The water was drawn down from the mountain. However, he was unable to tell how deep the pond was. However, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something strange underwater. He said, “Generals, could you go and see if there was anyone under the pond?”
