As the Universe Turns - Chapter 482
Chapter 482 The Beginning Of Ruthlessness
“You recognize them?”
Seeing her surprised expression, Xiao Chen also felt that things were strange. Previously, he did not know who these two people were, but now Luo Die knew them. It seemed that they were not ordinary people.
“Of course I recognize them, but how could they …”
Even at this moment, the shock on Luo Die’s face still did not fade. She slowly went over to examine the wounds on their bodies and immediately recognized the fatal wound. Her face became even more shocked, “It was the black-clothed messenger … They were actually killed by the black-clothed messenger …”
“What black-clothed messenger?”
Xiao Chen frowned. He didn’t know what she was talking about, but it wasn’t simple, nor was it just a coincidence.
Luo Die slowly regained her senses and muttered to herself, “The black-clothed messenger is a person of Dao Wuwei. One of them is called Qin Yan and the other is called Yun Wan. They are also people of Dao Wuwei, but Dao Wuwei … why did you kill them?”
“Dao Wuwei …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally remembered what Luo Die told him about Dao Wuwei. Dao Wuwei was from the Southern Immortal Alliance. When Luo Die was young, her entire family was killed. Afterwards, she was saved by Dao Wuwei. From then on, she became a secret killer of Dao Wuwei until she was sent to the Life and Death Alliance to investigate.
Luo Die turned around. She looked at him and said, “You should remember, That time in Tomb of Gods and Demons, I told you that I was rescued by Dao Wuwei and later became his secret killer. Although I am from Immortal Alliance, I am different from Qin Yan and Yun Wan. I can only be in the shadows and only Dao Wuwei knows my identity. Qin Yan and Yun Wan are different. Their identities are public and they are Dao Wuwei’s subordinates … ”
At this point, Luo Die Chang let out a long sigh and turned to look at the corpses of the two people on the ground. He said faintly, “Back then, I envied the identities of these two people because they could stand under the sun. Many people would lower their heads when they saw them, and I… I can only be born in the dark forever. Once the sun rises, I must disappear. But now, haha …”
At this point, she smiled pale again, “These two people worked hard for Dao Wuwei, but now they have such a miserable ending. When they left, they must have stolen their Soul Essence Stones. They thought that they would be able to leave, but how could Dao Wuwei let them go …”
Hearing her faint words, Xiao Chen knew that Dao Wuwei was definitely not a good person. As for the Soul Essence Stone, it should have been sealed into a wisp of his lifeblood Soul Essence.
The Immortal Alliance could send people out to save this person if he died accidentally or if his life was in danger. Secondly, leaving a strand of soul essence in the Immortal Alliance meant that he was sworn loyalty to the Immortal Alliance.
Xiao Chen said, “In that case, you also left a soul essence at Dao Wuwei’s place.”
“What do you think?” Luo Die smiled miserably, “If it weren’t for the fact that my soul essence was still in Dao Wuwei’s hands, how could I have done so much for him if he wanted me to live and die?”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything.
Luo Die shook her head and smiled. She then looked at the two people on the ground and said, “These two people must have stolen their soul essence.” As he spoke, he bent down to search the two of them.
She squatted down and found an identity jade token and a black jade stone from Yun Wan’s body. Inside the black jade stone, she had previously sealed her soul essence, but now, it was clear that they had already extracted her soul essence.
“Look, this is it.”
Luo Die held the black jade and shook it twice towards Xiao Chen behind her. Then, she shook her head and smiled. She searched Qin Yan’s body again. However, this time, not only did she search out the identity jade token and the black jade, she also found a fragment of a secret manual.
“This is …”
Luo Die’s gaze immediately focused on this secret manual. She flipped through the pages one by one and discovered that the incantations and mental techniques inside were very strange. She only looked at them for a while before she felt her blood surging. Strange scenes appeared in her mind. Then, the space between her eyebrows gradually turned purple, and her lips became redder and redder. Her eyes suddenly became cold and heartless. There were faint signs that she was going to go crazy!
“Luo Die.”
Seeing that her expression was not right, Xiao Chen immediately placed his hand on her shoulder. As a wave of rich true essence entered, Luo Die woke up from his shock. Cold sweat actually broke out on his back.
“I just …”
Luo Die’s face was covered in cold sweat. She looked at the secret manual in her hand again, and her face revealed an inconceivable expression of shock. “So this secret manual, this is … I finally know why Dao Wuwei wanted to kill the two of them. So they actually stole this secret manual!”
“What is this?”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Naturally, he discovered that this secret manual was a little strange. Luo Die had only read it for a while, but there were signs that she had fallen into a devil. Isn’t it too strange?
Luo Die looked at the broken manual in her hand and calmed down after a long time. “This is the broken manual that Dao Wuwei obtained back then. I don’t know when or where he got it. It was after I was saved by him that I accidentally spied on him cultivating this technique …” she said.
Xiao Chen’s heart narrowed slightly. In other words, this secret manual should have been obtained by Dao Wuwei during the time he rescued Luo Die. Back then, the Luo Die Clan had been killed. There might be something strange about this matter.
“Later, I learned that this fragment was called ‘Too Forgetful’. Rumor has it that in ancient times, a Heaven Realm legacy was fought for by the gods and buddhas of the heavens. Later, when the heavenly pillar collapsed, this secret manual was scattered throughout the world. If one cultivated it too forgetfully, they would be able to throw away their seven emotions and six desires, participate in life and death, and be able to live forever …”
Luo Die said, An excited expression appeared on his face. He clenched the fragment of the secret manual in his hand tightly. Even his voice trembled, “Such an ancient secret manual should have been handed over to the Alliance Leader, but Dao Wuwei has always kept it for himself, and no one knows about it. After I found out about it, I pretended that I didn’t know anything. Otherwise, he would have killed me long ago and silenced me. I didn’t expect that Qin Yan and I would actually steal it this time …”
“So … are you planning to cultivate this fragment?”
Xiao Chen looked at her and finally interrupted her.
“I…”
Seeing him ask him this, Luo Die was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer him. Such a secret manual that she wanted was naturally going to cultivate. Could it be that she still wanted to return it to Dao Wuwei?
Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently, “Just now, you said that cultivating this technique can discard the seven emotions and six desires, and participate in breaking through life and death, comprehending the Dao of Longevity, and ultimately immortality …”
“I…”
Luo Die bit her lips lightly. At this moment, she did not want to refute Xiao Chen’s words, but in her heart, she did think so.
“Too uncaring, not heartless. Heaven and earth can grow and live for a long time. As long as they don’t live on their own, they can live for a long time. If a person wants to live for a long time, he has already moved his desire …”
Xiao Chen turned around and said slowly.
