As the Universe Turns - Chapter 493
Chapter 493 Cangfeng Valley
“I don’t blame you.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder. “Those people are so cunning. Without their cunning, how could you be their opponent?” He whispered.
“I…”
Shen Jing raised her head. Hearing this, she felt sour in her heart. Originally, she thought that he would blame her for not protecting Hua Weiyang, but he did not. She did not have the cunning of those people. Thus, she hid in the Cyanwood Cliff for the past two years and did not dare to go out. She did not dare to let anyone know that she was here.
“You can rest assured and save her from waking up here. Leave everything outside to me.” Xiao Chen looked at her and said slowly.
“What are you doing …”
Shen Jing’s expression changed slightly. Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly coughed violently. Seeing that she coughed so badly, Xiao Chen’s expression changed. He quickly supported her and extended his hand to probe. Only then did he discover that there was actually a strand of sword qi left in her body.
“What’s going on!”
“Nothing … nothing.”
Shen Jing slowly stopped. Her face, which should have turned red, was now abnormally pale. Under Xiao Chen’s questioning, she finally told the truth. It turned out that this sword qi was the Heavenly Evolution Divine Sword Technique of the Hidden Edge Valley that Butterfly Valley had used on the day of the Liu Xuanyang incident. It was extremely powerful.
This strand of sword energy entered her chest and couldn’t be removed. If it weren’t for the fact that she possessed an ancient technique like the Nine Transformations, she would still be able to suppress the sword energy by a bit. In addition, she had excellent medical skills, so she would probably have died long ago.
But even so, over the past two years, she had been tortured to the point of not being an adult by the sword qi that remained in her heart. Every time the sky was dark, she would cough incessantly. Sometimes, she would even cough up blood all night long. That was why her entire body was now much more haggard.
“Fortunately, that sword hit me. If it hit Wei Yang, I’m afraid …”
Shen Jing said slowly. Finally, her face turned pale and she smiled, “I’m afraid that you will hate me for the rest of your life if you come back.”
“Why would I hate you …”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. He recalled when he was a child. Every time he fought with someone, he would rub his injuries on them. Now that her injuries had dragged on for two years, they were already life-threatening. However, she still said that she was fine.
“Tibetan Peak Valley, Liu Xuanyang …”
At this moment, an unprecedented killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. From that year until now, he had endured it again and again because he didn’t want to drag down Master, but every time he took a step back, the other party was even more aggressive …
“Calm down first.”
Shen Jing was also frightened by his current appearance. She secretly hated that she shouldn’t say it out loud at this moment. At this moment, his cultivation level was no longer comparable to back then. Even experts at the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm were unable to withstand a single blow in front of him. If he was angry, wouldn’t he really be buried in a million corpses and blood flowed into a river?
If he killed someone, what should Ling Yin do? Ling Yin was the head of the Righteous Dao, the Yao Guang Venerable of the Xuanqing Sect. She was highly respected by the world. If Xiao Chen really fell into the abyss one day and became a murderous devil without blinking an eye, she would no longer show mercy. When that time came, wouldn’t she be able to meet her master and disciple? In this way, wouldn’t it be right in the eyes of the person who secretly laid out the plan?
“Xiao Chen … calm down first!”
Shen Jing grabbed onto his hands forcefully. Because she was excited for a moment, it caused the sword qi in her lungs to backlash and she coughed violently again.
Xiao Chen’s two fingers condensed and quickly poured a stream of True Essence into her body, helping her suppress the sword qi.
After a while, Shen Jing slowly recovered. She looked at him and shook her head. “Xiao Chen, listen to me. You can’t go to the Hidden Front Valley now. The Hidden Front Valley is one of the four great profound sects of the Righteous path. How can it be as simple as you think? Besides, if you kill someone here, what should your master do?”
Xiao Chen did not say anything, It was precisely because he had always been attached to Ling Yin that he didn’t kill anyone in front of the various sects of the Immortal Origin Righteous Dao except for Tang Yu, who was killed outside the Lianhua Palace. Even when he went to Zhongyue Peak, he didn’t kill a single person from each sect. However, those people still refused to let him go and kept forcing him …
This time, Shen Jing was injured by Liu Xuanyang. The sword qi entered her body and had already suffered for two years. If it wasn’t for her unparalleled medical skills and the Nine Transformations she cultivated, she would have already died. Now that she had returned, would she still have to watch her continue to suffer?
“I’ll go to the Hidden Edge Valley and ask them to hand over their sword-unlocking techniques.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were fixed. This time, no one could stop him. If Shen Jing’s injuries continued to drag on, her life would definitely be in danger. Cangfeng Valley’s Heavenly Evolution Divine Sword was extremely powerful. Only the Heavenly Evolution Divine Sword’s Sword Release Art could neutralize the sword qi in her body.
Shen Jing shook her head, “It doesn’t matter. In the future, there will always be a way to neutralize this sword qi …”
“If you really wait until then, will you be able to cultivate in the future?”
Xiao Chen interrupted her and took out a little puppet from his sleeve. This was the last avatar Luo Die had given him.
“This is …”
‘”A friend I met on the East Continent. I injected a Genuine energy into the avatar she created. It can temporarily transform into my avatar. If you encounter any danger during the period of my absence, you can use a curse technique to create an avatar.”
Xiao Chen handed the avatar to her and passed on the incantation to her. Finally, he looked at Hua Weiyang on the stone bed and took a deep breath. “I’ll leave it to you, Wei Yang …”
Although he had always been worried about Hua Weiyang, Fusang Flower had already been brought back. The rest could only be left to Shen Jing. If he stayed in the valley, it would probably distract Shen Jing, but it would be useless.
“But …”
Shen Jing wanted to say something else. Xiao Chen shook her head, “I can even come out of the God’s Demon Tomb. Could a small Cangfeng Valley be more dangerous than the God’s Demon Tomb?”
Shen Jing was momentarily speechless by what he said, but thinking about it, it seemed to be the same. He was able to come out of such a dangerous place as the God Devil Tomb. The current him was no longer the same as he was back then.
“Then you … be careful.”
“I’ll be back soon.”
After finishing his last sentence, Xiao Chen glanced at Hua Weiyang once more and went out of the cave. Cangfeng Valley was located south of the Central Plains of Immortal Essence. Within that mountain range, the terrain was extremely dangerous.
Seven days later, Xiao Chen arrived outside Cangfeng Valley. However, seeing the green mountains, green waters, long grass, and spring in Cangfeng Valley, the weather was still pleasant even as winter approached.
Although the scenery outside was good, it was still one of the Four Great Mysterious Gates. It was definitely not a waste of reputation. Not to mention the steep terrain inside, there were countless restrictions. Just outside, there were many formations that were extremely powerful. If one forcefully entered, they would only be annihilated.
But today, for some reason, the restriction formations outside Cangfeng Valley seemed to be much weaker. With his keen divine sense, Xiao Chen easily arrived at the entrance of the valley. He could already vaguely see the palace buildings hidden within the green trees and red flowers in the valley.
“Who is it!”
Seeing that someone had suddenly barged into the valley, the eight disciples at the valley entrance immediately stood on guard with their swords. They had never seen Xiao Chen before, but the cold killing intent on the other party’s body made them tremble deeply.
