As the Universe Turns - Chapter 528
Chapter 528 Iron-clothed Envoy
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Dingfeng City had never been so quiet. Previously, the Five Elements Sect had already taken control of Wuji Palace and Poison Dragon Fort. However, due to the events of the day, all the members of the Five Elements Sect had already left Dingfeng City.
At this moment, in a secret hall very far away from Dingfeng City, there was a figure standing on top of the hall. That person was dressed in black and stood with his hands behind his back, facing the door of the hall.
After a while, footsteps sounded from outside. Immediately after, two figures walked in. Looking closely, their faces were pale. They were dressed in Zi Yi, but they were the Third Elder and Fifth Elder of the Five Elements Sect.
Seven elders of the Five Elements Sect died today at the hands of the Rakshasa Mistress, two elders died at the hands of Xiao Chen. The Great Elder’s cultivation was crippled by Xiao Chen, and the remaining four elders were all injured by Xiao Chen’s flying swords when they escaped. Among them, the Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder were severely injured, so only the Third Elder and Fifth Elder came to this hall.
Seeing the black-clothed man standing with his back facing them, their hearts trembled. Both of them were somewhat panicked and uneasy. They lowered their heads and said, “I don’t know if the Iron-clothed Messenger will arrive, but we will be unable to meet him from afar …”
“Mm … you guys are here.”
The black-clothed man slowly turned around and saw half a black iron mask on his right face. His hands were still behind his back, looking extremely cold.
This black-clothed iron-faced man was the second ranked amongst the four Lu Clan envoys. His cultivation was extremely high, especially the pair of iron fists, mountains and rocks that were invincible.
He glanced coldly at the two of them and asked coldly, “Is Third Young Master injured today?”
The Fifth Elder said, “Please rest assured, Young Master Lu is not injured. He is fine now …”
Luckily, Lu Wuxin was fine during the day. Otherwise, if something were to happen to this young master, the Five Elements Sect would be in great trouble.
Actually, that night outside the city, after he sensed that divine sense, his heart had been faintly uneasy. He always had a bad premonition. If he had known that there was such a terrifying person in Feng Man Lou, he would never have agreed to his trip today. However, it was useless to say anything now.
“Mm …”
The Iron-clothed Envoy nodded slightly and took a few steps forward. Two cold gazes landed on the two of them and said coldly, “Do you know who that person is today? Did you see his appearance?”
“That person … From the sound of it, he should be a young man …”
The two elders looked at each other. They recalled that during the day, the other party had attacked too quickly and was wearing a black robe. They really did not see what the other party looked like.
“Forget it.”
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the Iron-clothed Envoy continued to ask, “Then did you see each other’s profound arts moves clearly? Was it the moves of the Profound Sect, or the moves of the Demon Sect?”
“This …”
The two of them looked at each other again in silence. They carefully recalled the situation during the day. It seemed that the black-robed man had only used two moves. With just two moves, how could they be absolutely able to tell if it was the Mysterious Sect move or the Demon Sect move?
Seeing that the two of them did not speak, the Iron-clothed Envoy’s voice suddenly turned fierce, “What? Can’t you even distinguish the moves of the Profound Sect and the Demon Sect now?”
Seeing Iron Cloak Messenger’s expression gradually darkening, the two of them regained their senses and trembled slightly, saying, “It should be the Devil Gate’s move, a very strange method of killing …”
“Demon Gate …”
The Iron-clothed Messenger’s gaze narrowed slightly. He lowered his head and said to himself, “Such a formidable young man, which of Xianyuan Five Realms’s Demon Gates, Carefree Tower, White Cloud Pavilion, and Motian Sect is it?”
At this point, he raised his head and looked at the two of them, “How are the four of you?”
Third Elder lowered his head and said, “Fortunately, it’s fine …”
“That’s good. Next month, there will be an even more important mission that I need you to do …” the Iron-clothed Envoy said.
“Next month …”
Third Elder raised his head and revealed a slightly surprised expression. This time, their Five Elements Sect had suffered such heavy losses. Could it be that they didn’t even give them a chance to catch their breath and wanted to do something again?
“What?”
The Iron-clothed Messenger’s voice was a little cold, and he walked closer to him. His gaze was extremely cold, and he said coldly, “Don’t you intend to commute your kung fu for losing Dingfeng City this time?”
“But …”
Third Elder wanted to say something else, but Fifth Elder suddenly took a step forward and reached out his hand to stop him. He looked at the Iron Cloak Envoy and said, “Iron Cloak Envoy, don’t worry. We brothers and sisters will definitely go through fire and water. We won’t hesitate …”
“Yes, that’s right …”
The Iron-clothed Envoy nodded slightly. At this moment, he looked at the Third Elder with a cold gaze. “You guys have done your job, so that I can explain myself to the three elders when I return …”
The Fifth Elder has always been tactful and smiled, “In that case, I’ll thank the Iron Cloak Messenger first. When the time comes, I’ll ask the Iron Cloak Messenger to speak up for us in front of the three clan elders …”
“As long as things go well, you will naturally get what you deserve.”
The Iron-clothed Messenger’s tone was cold. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and something flew towards Fifth Elder. Fifth Elder reached out to catch it, but it was a small jade bottle.
He couldn’t wait to open the jade bottle. There were four red pills inside. However, when the Third Elder saw that there were only four pills in the bottle, he immediately raised his head and looked at the Iron Cloak Messenger in confusion. At the same time, he was slightly dissatisfied, “Why are there only four pills? Although Second Brother and Seventh Brother are dead, Eldest Brother, he is still …”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Iron Cloak’s eyes turned extremely cold. “It’s not easy to refine the Spirit Severing Pill. Do you think it’s necessary to waste it on a cripple?”
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder was instantly enraged. Next to him, the Fifth Elder stretched out his hand and pressed him down. He smiled at the Iron Cloak Envoy and said, “The Iron Cloak Envoy is right. It is not easy to refine the Soul Formation Pill, so you should use it rationally.”
“I’m leaving. Someone will tell you what to do next month’s mission in a few days. Also, there will be other sects with you at that time …”
As the Iron Cloak Envoy spoke, he slowly walked towards the hall door with his hands behind his back. The Third Elder looked at his back as he walked farther and farther away. His fingers cracked, but the Fifth Elder forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He still smiled and said, “Send the Iron Cloak Envoy respectfully …”
…
Three days had passed. These past few days, Dingfeng City had never been so peaceful.
Due to the sudden withdrawal of the Five Elements Sect, Yi Wuji and Zong Xiaotian regained control of half of the city, while Lady Rakshasa had been using her cultivation to treat her injuries in the secret hall.
On this clear day, Shen Jing had already cast another spell on Hua Weiyang in Qingxiang Garden. Xiao Chen was sitting beside her. In these three days, she had not been anywhere except to practice cultivation to heal Lady Rakshasa’s injuries.
“Can she wake up today?”
“Depending on the situation, she has already absorbed all of the endless power of the Fusang Flower. The cold energy in her body has also been cleared. If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up before tonight.”
As Shen Jing spoke, she slowly put away the silver needles.
