As the Universe Turns - Chapter 416
Chapter 416 Blood Bath (1)
Even though he had already anticipated it, there were still some things that could not be avoided. Thus, in the cave earlier, Xiao Chen had already taken the risk of using the Three Elements Heart Burning Technique.
The Three Elements Heart Burning Technique was a strange technique that Xuanqing Sect’s past generations of sect masters had painstakingly studied. When used, it could greatly increase one’s strength, but it was extremely easy for one to become enchanted. At the same time, it would also be accompanied by a backlash. Over time, the temperament of the cultivators would gradually change.
It was precisely because the disadvantages outweighed the benefits that Xuanqing Sect had banned this technique. It was a forbidden technique of Xuan Qing. Back then, young Yi Chen had no intention of spying on this technique in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and since then, he firmly remembered that he had used it once during the Heavenly Gate Martial Meeting, but it was not proficient. This time, when combined with the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Profound Techniques, it was far superior to that year.
That was why even though Old man Zi Yi’s cultivation had already reached the Profound Comprehension Realm, he couldn’t even block a single finger of his when he came out of the cave.
At this moment, the black clouds had arrived behind them. Accompanying them was a powerful aura. It was difficult to determine what level of cultivation the person had reached.
With a flash of light, a purple sword light flew down from the black cloud and landed in the valley. In an instant, it turned into an old man dressed in purple.
However, seeing the old man holding a whisk in his hand, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were cold, and the pair of high cheekbones on his cheeks added a bit of coldness and majesty, causing people to not dare to look directly at him.
Along with his arrival, the crowd fell silent. The leaders of the hundreds of factions lowered their heads silently at this moment. There was no disrespect in their eyes, including some old men who had reached the Profound Realm.
At the beginning, the three sects, Burning Evil Sect, Azure Wave Sect, and Phaseless Sect, also came forward at the same time and cupped their hands towards the cold and stern old man who had just arrived, “Gongsun Sect Master.”
This person was the person with the strongest momentum among the hundreds of forces in the Earth Realm. Not only was Gongsun Yun’s cultivation unfathomable, he had also subdued more than 30 sects. He was known as the “Thirty-Six Sect Master”.
In the Earth Fiend Domain, his words were like an imperial edict. No one dared to defy it. There were so many people here today. It was obvious that he had issued the order.
At this moment, behind the crowd, Old Xie, Lu Lijiang, and Xing Xiangzi were silent like cicadas. They had never imagined that they would only want to seize the Hundred Refinements Root this time, but they had accidentally hit and bumped into the person who had escaped from outside because they had killed the Immortal Alliance’s messenger … At this moment, the three of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Gongsun Yun ignored Xue Wuyue and the others. His gaze landed on Xiao Chen and said calmly, “You are Wu Chen.”
“How about it?”
Xiao Chen stared straight at the other party with a cold and indifferent tone. Even though Gongsun Yun’s cultivation was far above his, and even though there were more than 10,000 people here, he still did not reveal the slightest bit of fear. Perhaps after experiencing the Xuanqing Sect incident, there was nothing he could fear now.
“Very good …”
Gongsun Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly and he slowly nodded. He seemed to be praising this young man as well. He had a calm heart. If it was an ordinary person, they would have been scared out of their wits in this situation.
After a while, I heard him say, “This time, I originally only wanted the Fusang Flower on you, but now … I’ve changed my mind. Your soul has to stay.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the surroundings were stunned. Wasn’t it just Fusang Flower? Why did they still want this person’s soul … However, on second thought, they seemed to have understood Gongsun Yun’s intentions and remained silent.
“This girl beside you, she will be very safe …”
Gongsun Yun looked straight at Xiao Chen and said slowly. The implication was that he had to end it on his own. In this way, he could at least protect the Fallen Butterfly.
After hearing this, Luo Die’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. Could these people really …
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, his expression still calm as he slowly said, “Since when have the hundreds of sects in Tomb of Gods and Demons become Immortal Alliance’s hawks?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became incomparably quiet. Luo Die’s face was slightly stunned. He raised his head. Indeed, it was as she had guessed. However, Xiao Yichen had already guessed that these people were going to trade him and Fusang Flower for something from Immortal Alliance.
And what was the thing they needed the most right now? It was nothing more than the word “freedom”.
Many of them had been banished here, but they couldn’t go to the Hun Tian Domain in Tomb of Gods and Demons. They couldn’t stay here any longer. The only way out was to leave. However, the outside of Tomb of Gods and Demons was covered with layers of divine devil aura. They couldn’t get out, only some spatial cracks. However, those spatial cracks were also sealed by Immortal Alliance.
The Immortal Alliance needed the Fusang Flower and wanted to capture Xiao Chen as well. Therefore, the people of the hundreds of factions here would use Xiao Chen and the Fusang Flower to exchange for freedom from the Immortal Alliance, allowing the Immortal Alliance to open those seals and release them.
Thinking of this, Luo Die’s face became paler and paler. If that was the case, then it was impossible for these people in Tomb of Gods and Demons to let Xiao Chen go. But why did these people insist on leaving? Something must have gone wrong in the Earth Realm, otherwise they wouldn’t have been forced to take the risk of compromising with Immortal Alliance.
At this moment, the entire valley, including the air, was silent. Gongsun Yun’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Chen. He had become more and more admiring of this young man. He was able to predict the situation and see through it before the crisis arrived … However, he had already made up his mind. No matter what, it was impossible for him to turn his head back today.
“Go!”
Gongsun Yun raised his hand and countless figures immediately blocked Xiao Chen’s path. They blocked his path and also blocked his path of retreat. Today, there were more than 20,000 people present, and there were so many Profound Comprehension Realm experts. Unless they had a cultivation level close to the Central Profound Realm, it would be extremely difficult for them to retreat completely.
Seeing this, Luo Die’s heart tightened as she leaned against Xiao Chen and whispered, “There are too many of them. What should we do now?”
“Are you afraid?” Xiao Chen suddenly looked at her.
“I…”
Luo Die was slightly stunned. She said that she was not afraid. That was fake, but now, at least, she could not become a burden to him. Therefore, she could only grind her teeth and shake her head.
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. With a “zheng” sound, he drew out a long sword that emitted a burst of cold light. Around him, more than ten golden flying swords appeared, circling around him and Luo Die.
“Let’s go.”
The sword shook and Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. He knew that he could not talk to these people today. There was no reason to speak in Tomb of Gods and Demons. He could only blaze a trail of blood!
