As the Universe Turns - Chapter 518
Chapter 518 Goodbye, Old Friend
After a long time, the surrounding area slowly regained its calm. Looking at the broken cliff and the dissipating clouds, Xiao Chen slowly turned around and looked at Shen Jing, who still had a stunned expression. “Do you feel that some of those people shouldn’t have died?” He asked.
Shen Jing finally regained her senses and shook her head. She knew in her heart that regardless of whether any of those people died or not, if one of them was left behind and their whereabouts were exposed, she was afraid that there would be another unforeseen accident. The person on her back could no longer withstand any more accidents.
“Then … where are we going now?”
Shen Jing looked around. She suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth were huge, but there was no place for Xiao Chen. Especially this time, he had killed so many people. It was already an endless situation with all the sects and sects, and there was no turning back.
So where do we go now to calm Hua Weiyang down and wake him up? Where was the end of this desperate world?
“I know of a place where there is an old friend.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked towards the northwest. However, under the shadow of the moon, the mountain ranges were connected. They were boundless. That was the direction he had gone to Immortal North Ancient Realm and Dingfeng City.
Half a month later, the two of them crossed many natural dangers and arrived outside Dingfeng City. The towering city walls were faintly visible in the twilight.
Dingfeng City was located in the northwest of the Immortal Origin Five Regions. Because of its relatively remote terrain, it was not within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Gate and rarely interacted with the sects of the Immortal Origin Five Regions.
Over time, Dingfeng City became an existence that was neither righteous nor devilish in this chaotic world. As a result, many people who had committed the taboo of righteousness in the Immortal Origin Five Regions would often die here. In the end, three forces formed in the city. One was the Limitless Palace, the other was the Wind Mansion, and the third was the Poisonous Dragon Fort.
The entire Dingfeng City was very large, like a small cultivation country. Back then, when Xiao Chen first came to this city, he went to the wrong place to inquire about Feng Manlou in Poison Dragon Castle. In the end, he caused a calamity and killed the seventh adopted son of Poison Dragon Castle Sect, Zong Qin. He caused a lot of trouble.
Afterwards, he had no choice but to help Lady Rakshasa sneak into Limitless Hall for the Nascent Soul incident and steal the first chapter of Yi Wuji’s Heavenly Scripture. That time, it was extremely dangerous, but it caused the two of them to experience life and death tribulations. Instead, they became friends in this chaotic world. If they walked in this world, many friends would be better enemies.
The night gradually closed. Xiao Chen recalled everything back then. Unknowingly, it had already been many years. His friendship with Lady Rakshasa was not deep. Moreover, the last time they met, he came back from Immortal North Ancient Realm four years ago. The two of them did not speak much. The next day, he left in a hurry.
In the past four years, he didn’t have much contact with Lady Rakshasa. The friendship between him and Wei Yang in the past had probably faded away. He only hoped that the other party would still remember the past and be willing to take him in so that Shen Jing could heal Wei Yang’s injuries peacefully. She was worried that someone would chase after him day and night.
By the time night fell, the two of them had already arrived at the east gate of Dingfeng City. The east of the city was where Fengman Attic was. They were still hanging out night and night. They were still outside the city, and they could feel the red and willow green atmosphere inside.
The two of them had already changed into black robes and wore battle robes and caps. The night was dim, and no one could see their appearances clearly. As they approached the city gate, Shen Jing suddenly stopped, her expression slightly nervous. “Is that Lady Rakshasa … reliable?”
“Don’t worry …”
Xiao Chen also stopped. Looking at the red, willow, and green lights in the city, he said, Even though his friendship with Lady Rakshasa wasn’t too deep, and he didn’t have as many life and death experiences as he had in the Eastern Continent and the Fallen Butterfly, he trusted the owner of the building in Fengman Attic. If even Lady Rakshasa betrayed him and reported the whereabouts of Hua Wei Yang to the Heavenly Gate, then he would have been too unsuccessful for the rest of his life.
After an incense stick of time, the two of them arrived at the eastern city. Under the curtain of night, they could vaguely see the ten thousand zhang dangerous building. A red light hung high above it and it floated in the wind. That was Fengman Attic.
Moments later, the two of them arrived downstairs. Immediately, four black-clothed men stopped them. However, very quickly, another figure emerged from the building. It was an old man wearing a green robe.
This old man Xiao Chen naturally recognized him. He was Fengman Attic’s Right Envoy, Yue Manfeng. However, the three words Yue Manfeng were not his real name. Instead, they were given a name by Lady Rakshasa in the past. Therefore, they had nothing to do with Yue Manfeng, the enemy of the Thousand Clans of the Eastern Continent.
“Yue … Yue Youshi.”
Seeing Yue Youshi suddenly come out, the four black-clothed men immediately stepped aside. Only then did they realize that the two people they had just stopped were not trivial. Otherwise, how could Yue Youshi personally come out to welcome them?
“Haha … Little friend, we meet again. Please.”
Yue Youshi smiled like a spring breeze. He stretched out his hand and waved an invitation. He then subconsciously looked at the person beside Xiao Chen. He had a high cultivation base, so naturally, when Xiao Chen approached, he could already feel the other party’s aura. It was Yi Fang who rushed out.
After entering the building, she found a quiet pavilion. Not long after, someone pushed the door open and entered. That person was wearing a light purple robe. He had icy muscles and jade bones, and his eyebrows were picturesque. His slow pace made her look even more charming. Even Shen Jing was dumbfounded when she saw him.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman with lost immortal beauty would act decisively and decisively, and that everyone in Dingfeng City would be afraid of Lady Rakshasa?
Seeing his old friend, Lady Rakshasa smiled brightly. It was as if the ice and snow had just melted, causing one’s heart and soul to be intoxicated. “Long time no see, Young Master Xiao is well …”
At the end of her sentence, she glanced at Hua Wei Yang, who was lying on the couch, and asked, “What … what’s going on?”
Although Dingfeng City rarely interacted with the various sects in Xianyuan, how could Xianyuan not know anything about the major events that had taken place in recent years among the various sects of the Righteous path in Dingfeng City? Obviously, Lady Rakshasa had already known about Lianhua Palace and Hua Weiyang, so Xiao Chen could only personally explain his intentions at this moment.
Xiao Chen knew what she was thinking, so he didn’t take a detour and directly explained his purpose. He wanted to stay with her for a period of time until Wei Yang woke up.
After hearing this, Lady Rakshasa frowned slightly. Seeing her hesitating, Xiao Chen naturally knew his current situation.
If the Heavenly Sect and the various sects in Xianyuan were to find out that they and Wei Yang were hiding in the Wind Mansion, the entire Wind Mansion would probably be razed to the ground.
However, he was already helpless and came to Dingfeng City to seek help from Lady Rakshasa. Wei Yang needed quiet treatment now and could no longer withstand any ups and downs. In the Five Regions of Xianyuan, no place was safe and could be found at any time like the Cyanwood Cliff that day.
Of course, he had also thought about going to the Immortal North Ancient Realm, arriving at the Heavenly Extreme Pagoda, the Heavenly Spirit Sect, or even the Su Wen Fairy, wherever he was, it would be safer than in Dingfeng City.
However, there were too many variables to cross the boundless Desert of Death. It was even more dangerous than crossing the East China Sea. No accidents could happen to Weiyang anymore, so he didn’t dare to take the risk to cross the Desert of Death.
