As the Universe Turns - Chapter 489
Chapter 489 Mysterious Man
“Squeak … squeak … squeak …”
Xiao Chen walked in the snow, thinking of Cangfeng Valley in his heart. His eyes became colder and colder. Unknowingly, he had already arrived near Xuanqing Mountain. He raised his head. Apart from the heavy snow, there were also the seven dangerous peaks that towered into the clouds and could faintly be seen.
Seven to eight years had passed since that incident.
Xiao Chen stopped and raised his head to look at the seven mountain peaks that were faintly visible in the heavy snow. At this moment, his originally cold gaze gradually calmed down. The past was like snowflakes fluttering in the wind, sweeping past his heart.
Once upon a time, he had also been dreaming of returning here, but one day, when he realized that he could never return, it was as if he had woken up from a dream. There was only the cold bed and the endless darkness surrounding him.
“Senior Brother …”
Just as he was immersed in the memories of the past, a faint and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Xiao Chen turned around, dazed and vague, only to see Qianyu Nichang slowly walking towards him in the heavy snow.
Her clothes were fluttering, and her collar was stained with snow. Snowflakes were dancing beside her. Wasn’t it her that had such an immortal aura that didn’t eat fireworks in the world?
“Junior Sister” Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed as he looked at the woman who was walking towards him step by step.
“Senior Brother, are you back?”
Qianyu Nichang slowly walked up with a tranquil smile on his face. However, when Xiao Chen reached out his hand to touch it, everything in front of him turned into snow that was like a dream.
She had never been here before, and he was the only one in the snow from beginning to end.
The snow slowly stopped. Xiao Chen was still standing there. He looked at the footprints slowly concealed behind him. After a long time, he turned around and continued to walk in the direction of Ning Village.
On the broken wooden plaque hanging at the entrance of the village were the words “Yongning Village”.
Returning to this place again, his heart felt as if it had become a little more heavy. It was only after he went to the Xuanqing Sect that Ning Village was renamed Yongning Village, meaning that it would always be peaceful …
Now, it was forever quiet. Even if it snowed heavily, it would not be able to bury the traces of this place. If a hundred years later or a thousand years later, would anyone still remember this place?
When Xiao Chen arrived at the small courtyard in the past, it was as if he could still see the scenes of the past. This was the place where he grew up. He still remembered countless nights when Ah Niang sewed his clothes for him.
“Ah Niang, I’m back …”
Xiao Chen walked to the small tomb. He reached out his hand and slowly removed the snow from the monument. Little by little, he cleaned up the tomb.
Xiao Chen waited until dusk approached before leaving. He looked at the untopped mountain peak and moved towards the back of the mountain.
There was a secluded valley at the back of the mountain. Back then, he had met the strange senior Xiao Cangtian in the secluded valley. Most of the disciples of Xuanqing did not know where they could go from there without alarming the elders and disciples on the mountain.
The current him was extremely powerful. No matter how steep the mountain path was, it was as if he was walking on flat ground. At the same time, he restrained all of his aura. He was extremely familiar with the Xuanqing Sect’s terrain, so he was able to avoid being discovered by anyone and touching any of the restrictions.
By the time twilight fell, Xiao Chen had already quietly arrived at Purple Night Peak. He had imagined returning to this place countless times before, but now that he had returned to this place, he realized that nothing had changed.
The words “Jade Light Palace” were always so cold. In the lotus pond in front of the palace, the ice lotus would never wither. Everything seemed to be the same as when he first came here.
Back then, when he first came to Violet Night Peak, his heart was filled with fear and uneasiness, but in the end, it was replaced by curiosity. Then, it was the coldness that followed every night.
Now, in his heart, there was more melancholy and loneliness.
Just as Xiao Chen was worried about the sound of the flute coming from afar, Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He immediately raised his head and looked in the direction where the flute came from. At this moment, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by something. It was Master’s flute.
There were four wonders in Purple Night Peak. One day, “Cloud Peak” looked down from the top of the clouds. The mountains became small, and every night when moonlight shone down, the sea of clouds rose and fell, and the scenery was even more beautiful.
On the second day of the “Purple Bamboo Forest”, the Purple Bamboo Forest was unfailing all year round. Every time the wind blew past, the bamboo shoots would emit a phoenix cry. It was the place where he and Nichang used to practice swordsmanship.
Three days of “Tianshui Stream” was rumored to have been attracted by Master from the Heavenly River back then. As a result, the water was bone-chilling but never frozen. In the past, he often cultivated in the Tianshui Stream. At the end of the river was a precipice. The water was like a galaxy hanging upside down, and it was unknown where it finally landed.
Four days later, the Bipo Jade Platform was a place where Master usually cultivated. In the middle of the pond, there was an immortal tree that was tall and without a roof. It was rumored that it could lead to the Immortal Dimension.
He still clearly remembered every part of Purple Night Peak. At this moment, the ethereal sound of the flute came from the top of the clouds.
Following the sound of the flute, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards the peak of the clouds.
On the other side of the clouds, the sea of clouds was slowly rising and falling. On the opposite side of the cliff, there was an immortal island floating. On that island, there was a person with a long and jade body and a fluttering robe. He looked like an immortal god, playing a song called “Lin Jiang Immortal” by pressing the hole.
That person was none other than Fairy Miaoyin Ling Yin, who was known as “ExcellencyYaoguang”.
At this moment, before the song ended, the originally calm sea of clouds suddenly surged violently. It was not that Fairy Miaoyin had moved her mind, but that a powerful aura was approaching from afar.
At this moment, Xiao Chen, who was walking towards the peak of the clouds, could not help but feel this aura in his heart. This aura was so strong that it was aimed at Master!
“Master …”
The expression on his face changed slightly as he unfolded his Ling Xian Steps and instantly headed towards the peak of the clouds.
When he arrived, he saw the sea of clouds surge towards both sides. A swift shadow flew over from the middle. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. He immediately stopped and hid behind a large rock. He thought to himself, “How strong is that person’s aura?” It was so strong that only Purple Night Peak could sense it, but no one could sense the other six mountain peaks.
He immediately reacted. If this person entered the Mysterious Green Mountain, he would be able to enter an uninhabited land without alarming the other Sovereigns, he would definitely not be an ordinary person!
The sea of clouds gradually calmed down, and that figure gradually turned into a figure. That person wore a black battle robe and stood in the sky. He wore a battle robe hat on his head, so he could not see his true appearance.
Although he couldn’t clearly see this person’s appearance, there was no doubt about this powerful aura. Even the current Xiao Chen felt suffocated. With such a high cultivation level, who exactly was the person who came?
“Ling Yin, long time no see …”
Just as the atmosphere was icy cold, a cold and faint male voice suddenly came from beneath the black robe.
