As the Universe Turns - Chapter 475
Chapter 475 Deep Within the Forbidden Zone
As soon as Daoist Blood Drink said this, everyone’s gazes fell on Xiao Chen. Today, he looked a little different.
Everyone here knew of the grudge between him and Unmelted Bone. It was hard to disperse. Unmelted Bone was determined to kill him, but now that he was alive and well, unmelted Bone was gone, it was a bit puzzling.
Seeing that everyone on the side was filled with suspicion, Luo Die couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. After a while, Xiao Chen said indifferently, “He’s dead.”
“What are you talking about?”
Daoist Blood Drink stepped forward. How could he die so easily with his Spirit Formation cultivation? And he’s fine?
Xiao Chen had already thought of the words, and his expression remained the same. “He chased after me, fell into a forbidden area, and never came out again.”
“Unmelted Bone is dead …”
At this moment, everyone’s expressions became even more solemn. It wasn’t that they didn’t know how strong the Unmelted Bone was. Hearing Xiao Chen’s words at this moment, they felt that the truth wasn’t as simple as he had said.
For some reason, at this moment, everyone didn’t dare to be as careless as before when facing this young man in front of them.
“Then … where did the Thunderbolt Sect Master go?”
This time, Daoist Blood Drink looked at Luo Die, who was standing beside Xiao Chen. Luo Die saw that his two deep gazes looked at her, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Everything she thought about just now was in chaos now. After all, she did not have Xiao Chen’s cultivation. At this moment, under the gaze of a Soul Formation cultivator, there would inevitably be a very heavy pressure.
“This person colluded with the Immortal Alliance. He was the one who secretly revealed our location to the Immortal Alliance.”
Just as Luo Die was nervous, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and said these words.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They immediately fell into silence. After a long time, they heard Daoist Blood Drink say coldly, “Absurd, I have known Sect Master Thunderbolt for many years. Don’t tell me I don’t know him? Although his temper is a little impatient, it’s impossible for him to collude with the Immortal Alliance. Instead, it’s the two of you …”
“Daoist, why don’t you tell us what we do?”
It seemed that it was somewhat unexpected. Facing Daoist Blood Drinking’s cold gaze, Luo Die was already trembling slightly. However, Xiao Chen faced his gaze, neither avoiding nor dodging. His temperament was completely different from a month ago.
“Alright …”
Right at this moment, Daoist Gui walked up and said calmly, “The urgent thing right now is to find a way out. Now that there are two people missing, it will be useless to continue arguing.”
Daoist Blood Drink looked at him with a cold look in his eyes, “So, Daoist Gui, do you believe the two of them?”
The atmosphere became cold again. It was unknown when it started. Everyone no longer trusted each other that much. Or, from the beginning, they had never truly trusted each other.
After a long while, Ji Wuyan slowly walked up and looked at Xiao Chen for a while before asking, “Young Hero Wu Chen, where have you been during this period of time? What have you encountered?”
As soon as she said that, everyone looked at Xiao Chen again. They still didn’t believe what he said. After all, with Bone Formation and Pili Zidian’s cultivation, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to be fine.
Xiao Chen looked at the questioning gazes of the crowd, his expression still normal. He said calmly, “I met that Ancient Devil.”
“What are you talking about!”
This time, it was the Underworld Fire Evil God, as well as Han Tiangu and Daolord Impermanence. Their expressions immediately became nervous. As for Daoist Blood Drinker and the others, when they heard him say that they had met the Ancient Devil, they subconsciously retreated backwards and became alert.
Even Daoist Gui didn’t expect that he would actually encounter that Ancient Devil. No wonder he was different from a month ago.
“That’s right, I met that Ancient Devil.”
Xiao Chen said again. His expression was still very ordinary. Originally, he did not intend to tell the others about the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon so quickly. However, since they insisted on asking about it tonight, it was fine to say it out loud. However, it was impossible for him to tell these people about a A class.
Daoist Gui’s eyes narrowed as he looked at him and asked tentatively, “This matter is of great importance. It is closely related to everyone’s life and death. Don’t tell me you can’t laugh. Did little friend really meet that Great Devil?”
Everyone became nervous. Ji Wuyan knitted her brows tightly, still not believing, “If you met that Great Devil, how could you be fine? That Great Devil … how could he let you out? You really aren’t lying …”
“I don’t need to lie.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, he gently flicked his sleeve. Three things flew out from within. Luo Die was immediately shocked. The three things in midair were clearly three bloody hearts, and they were even pounding.
“This …”
Everyone else was shocked. Only Daolord Impermanence and Han Tiangu, as well as the Underworld Fire Evil God, seemed to have suddenly petrified. The three of them stood there motionlessly. Their empty chests suddenly felt intense pain.
“The one in the forbidden area, he asked me to return the hearts of the three of you.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still indifferent. As he spoke, he lightly brushed his sleeves and his three hearts flew towards the three of them.
This scene was both strange and extremely nervous. Everyone was completely silent. They even couldn’t believe it. They were all thinking in their hearts. Could it be that he really met that Great Devil?
Not only did the Great Devil not kill him, he even let him go. He even asked him to return the hearts of Han Tiangu and the others. This was simply inconceivable. What was his relationship with the Great Devil?
At this moment, the way everyone looked at him became different. There was a trace of fear in the complexity. Now, they were certain that it was impossible for someone to accidentally fall into the forbidden area and die without melting bones. Perhaps … they had died at his hands.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear. This person was able to kill Soul Formation, and he really hid it deep enough.
After a while, Daoist Gui was the first to react. He thought to himself that no matter how capable Liao Wuchen was, he could not leave alone. Now, he still had to rely on everyone to leave Tomb of Gods and Demons. Thinking of this, he looked at everyone and said, “Do you still have questions?”
This time, no one spoke anymore. Daoist Gui nodded and looked at Xiao Chen. His tone was obviously different from before. He asked, “Little friend Wu Chen, do you have any plans in mind?”
Xiao Chen looked at the distant mountain range that was shrouded in darkness and said, “There is no longer a path blocked by that Great Devil. If we want to get out, we need to go as soon as possible to the depths of the forbidden zone and open up the spatial rift there. If it’s too late, the Immortal Alliance might seize the opportunity.”
“Alright.”
This time, Ji Wuyan no longer doubted his words. Even if she doubted his identity, she would no longer doubt his current words. If Thunderbolt Purple Lightning really colluded with the Immortal Alliance, then the Immortal Alliance would definitely know the location of the forbidden zone outside. Once the Immortal Alliance seized the opportunity, it would be dangerous for them.
Seven days later, everyone arrived at a deeper part of the forbidden zone. Although there weren’t any horrifying beasts here, there were ancient restrictions everywhere. If they accidentally fell into those restrictions, it would be very difficult for them to leave even a single corpse behind.
“The front is here. Be careful …”
At this moment, Daoist Gui and Daolord Impermanence were at the forefront. In front of them, there was a faint aura of a very special restriction. It seemed that this was definitely not an ordinary place. Whether or not everyone could successfully leave Tomb of Gods and Demons this time was up to this.
