As the Universe Turns - Chapter 434
Chapter 434 Daoist Gui
After a long time, Luo Die slowly regained his senses and looked up at him. At this moment, a serious expression appeared on his face that he had never seen before. “Xiao Yichen, we must find a way out as soon as possible. Once Immortal Alliance completes the Heaven Sealing Array, we will never be able to get out again.”
“But … all the cracks within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers have already been sealed by the Immortal Alliance outside.”
Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding mountains and said slowly.
“Deep in Tomb of Gods and Demons.”
Luo Die looked at him and resolutely said, “The deeper the crack, the lower the chance of being sealed outside by the Immortal Alliance. We can go and try.”
“The depths of Tomb of Gods and Demons are often the most dangerous places.”
Xiao Chen looked at the faintly visible mountain peak in the clouds in front of him and finally nodded. No matter how dangerous the place was, even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea, he had no choice but to barge into it. Once Immortal Alliance was completely sealed off from the Death God Devil Tomb, he would never be able to return.
During the night, the two of them passed over a secluded valley. Because of their continuous journey, Luo Die was running out of True Essence. Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “Take a rest.”
“Yes.”
Luo Die nodded. The two of them landed in the secluded valley in the wind and found a cave under the cliff. After confirming that the people from that night would not follow them, Xiao Chen began to meditate to recover his energy.
In the middle of the night, Luo Die finally relaxed her eyebrows slightly. It was useless to be anxious. It was better to calm down and think of a good countermeasure.
She slowly took out three wooden puppets from her sleeves. The puppet was carved with Xiao Chen’s appearance. Only, on the puppet’s body, there were numerous secret magical symbols.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and saw the strange puppet in her hand. He asked, “What is this?”
“It’s my avatar.”
Luo Die slowly walked over and handed the three little puppets to him, “I’ve done a lot before. Only these three have succeeded. All you need to do is inject your own true essence. Each puppet can transform into an avatar that is similar in strength to you. Originally, it was intended to help you break through the Myriad Bones Formation, but I didn’t expect it to be useless …”
Xiao Chen took the puppet from her and saw that she had carved him into a lifelike figure. She must have put in a lot of effort and said, “Thank you.”
Luo Die shook his head. The two of them sat there and did not speak. After a long time, a cold moon gradually rose. Luo Die turned around and looked at him quietly. He said softly, “Actually, my name is not Luo Die. I have another name.”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and continued, “You are not the foster daughter of the Alliance Master Dongli of the Life and Death Alliance.”
Luo Die was slightly stunned, “Aren’t you curious who I am?”
“No one can choose his birth, but no one can stop him from choosing his path. Lotus is a gentleman in the flower, untainted by mud. Bamboo is also a gentleman, unyielding because it would rather die.”
At the end of his sentence, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and stared at her motionlessly.
Luo Die was stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on his face like a spring flower. “Listening to Young Master tonight is better than reading ten years of books.”
That night, they were safe and sound. The next morning, before dawn, the two of them set off for the depths of Tomb of Gods and Demons. It was only three days later that they found a spatial crack. However, they did not expect that the spatial crack here had also been sealed by Immortal Alliance from the outside.
“I didn’t expect that even the cracks on this side would be sealed to death …”
Luo Die’s brows gradually furrowed, and Xiao Chen slowly frowned, “It looks like it’s impossible to find a place to go out within a radius of 10,000 kilometers.”
“What’s so difficult about going out …”
Just as he finished speaking, a ghostly voice suddenly came from afar. Immediately after, a strange wind swept over from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, that strange wind actually turned into a black figure and landed in the forest not far away from the two of them.
“Who …”
Luo Die’s face was shocked. She saw that the person’s entire body was hidden under a black battle robe. Black mist shrouded his body. It was truly extremely strange, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Xiao Chen took two steps forward and stared at the mysterious black-robed man in front of him. “Senior has been chasing after this junior since that night. May I ask … what’s the matter?” He said.
He naturally recognized this person. The aura in front of him was the aura he sensed that night. Originally, he thought that he had shaken off this person, but he didn’t expect that this person would actually quietly chase after him. It seemed that no matter where he went, he wouldn’t be able to escape his tracking technique.
“Little friend killed Jian Xuanfeng of White Bone City. Do you know that Jian Xuanfeng is the only adopted son of Unmelted Bones? Little friend even turned his entire city into ashes. Don’t you worry about finding him without melting bones?”
The mysterious man’s ghostly voice came from beneath the battle robe, making people shiver.
Xiao Chen couldn’t see through this person’s cultivation, but at least he was sure that this person wasn’t Jian Xuanfeng’s foster father who didn’t melt bones. He asked, “May I know what senior should call him?”
“They all call me Daoist Gui. Little friend can naturally call me that too …”
The voice under the black robe was still filled with ghostly aura. Xiao Chen did not relax his vigilance and continued to ask, “I wonder why Senior Ghost is looking for this junior?”
“Little friend, there’s no need to be so vigilant. I … have no ill intentions towards you.”
As Daoist Gui spoke, he slowly walked closer. He said with a gloomy tone, “Presumably, little friend also wants to leave Tomb of Gods and Demons at this moment, but the cracks nearby have been sealed by Immortal Alliance from the outside. I want to cooperate with little friend. Only by cooperating can I leave Tomb of Gods and Demons …”
“Wait …”
Luo Die stopped him, her vigilance did not diminish in the slightest. She concentrated and said, “You said that you want to cooperate, how do you want to cooperate?”
“The two of you will go to the same place as me. We will naturally know when we arrive.”
Daoist Gui slowly said as he walked closer. Xiao Chen thought to himself that this person was not a good person. How could his words be taken seriously?
However, at this moment, this person’s cultivation was far higher than his own. He was afraid that he was already close to becoming a Spirit Formation cultivator, and had even reached the Spirit Formation stage. If he wanted to escape, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape …
Seeing that he was still on guard, Daoist Gui said, “Little friend, you’ve thought it through clearly. If you want to leave now, I won’t catch up with you. However, I kindly warn you that if you meet Jian Xuanfeng’s foster father, he won’t be able to survive. I’m afraid you’ll have to implicate this girl beside you. Her fate will be even more miserable. It’s a pity that such a good girl …”
“Alright, I’ll cooperate with you.”
Xiao Chen immediately made up his mind. He wasn’t really afraid of encountering someone who couldn’t melt bones, but this person in front of him. Although this person said so, if he really turned around and left, this person would definitely kill Luo Die and force him to cooperate. That way, he would really implicate Luo Die.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth were vast. He was like a mustard seed. Even if he succeeded in his Dao Unity, so what if he encountered a true Spirit Formation cultivator? At this moment, he didn’t even have the slightest room to resist.
“However, I have one condition.”
Xiao Chen clearly understood in his heart that when the other party found him, there was more than one Daoist Gui, but he was the person they needed. As a result, he undoubtedly had an iron-like chip in his hand. Since that was the case, he must not let himself fall into a passive state.
