As the Universe Turns - Chapter 562
Chapter 562 Land Of Ancient Desolation
Just a moment ago, Xiao Chen had already used Instant Steps Cosmos to bring Genuine energy and everyone else away with him. At this moment, he was probably already in the boundless mountains thousands of kilometers away.
Inside the valley, it was a mess. Dozens of disciples from Tai Shi Dao Sect were killed and wounded. The purple-clothed old man and the red-clothed old man were probably hopeless.
Just at this moment, another figure suddenly flew over from the distant horizon. It was another dozen disciples from Tai Shi Dao Sect. When they saw the scene in front of them, dozens of disciples were stunned, “Master … Master!”
Dozens of disciples rushed down from the sky. Seeing the corpses of the two masters on the ground, they immediately cried out in sorrow.
“Why are you crying … get up!”
The azure-clothed old man’s eyes were about to split open. His eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, his face was covered with killing intent. He fiercely said, “Go, gather everyone … No matter what method you use, you can’t let a single one of them go. As long as you see the people from the Xuanqing Sect, kill them all! Bring their souls to me!”
Dozens of disciples were stunned by the shock, and only after a while did they react, “Yes … Yes!” As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed around and gathered his fellow disciples in the depths of the forest.
“Junior Brother … Junior Brother!”
The azure-robed old man suddenly felt the world spin. His eyes were blurry, and he tightly pinched his fingers. He said hatefully, “Junior brothers, go well. In the future, senior brothers will definitely have blood stained the entire Xuanqing … avenge you!”
“Senior Brother … Senior Brother …”
The black-haired old man’s face was pale and his aura had gradually weakened. The old man in green hurriedly walked over and helped him cross into a Genuine energy. Looking at his broken left shoulder, he felt a burst of heartbreaking pain in his chest, “Second Junior Brother … How are you?”
The black-haired old man shook his head. His lips were pale and his aura was weak as he said, “It’s fine to break an arm, but Senior Brother, you must know something …”
“Speak … Speak!”
“You lean over …”
The black-haired old man’s aura was weak. He whispered a few words into the green-clothed old man’s ear. Then, the green-clothed old man’s expression changed, but slowly, the hatred in his eyes became even more intense.
…
The night fell silently. Late into the night, a layer of strange mist suddenly appeared on the boundless mountains. A dozen feet away, nothing could be seen clearly.
The barrier in the depths of the forest had only been opened for a few days, and countless cultivators had already entered from outside. What attracted countless people was naturally the legendary ancient treasures, but no one could see the deaths hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, in a quiet valley, Leng Qianxue was helping Qianyu Nichang recover his Genuine energy, while Xiao Chen was revolving the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique in another cave not far away to recover his injuries and strength.
Around midnight, Qianyu Nichang finally regained his composure and said to Fu Ling, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, “Senior Sister Fu Ling, go and see him.”
“Oh … Oh, good.”
Apart from Qianyu Nichang, Fu Ling had the best relationship with Xiao Chen. She had just been to the cave a few times, but when she stood outside the cave entrance and saw the other party’s silent recovery, it was not good for her to go in and disturb her.
At this moment, she gently walked over again. Seeing that Xiao Chen was still meditating inside, she hesitated for a moment and whispered, “Xiao … Junior Brother Xiao, are you feeling better?”
After a while, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the woman outside the cave. Among the senior brothers and sisters in Xuanqing Sect, she was probably the most innocent. She never thought of harming anyone and never argued with anyone.
“I’m not from Xuanqing Sect anymore. Why do I still use the same name as I used to be?” Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.
“I, I …”
Fu Ling lowered his head and didn’t know how to answer.
Right now, in the eyes of the world, Xiao Chen was the great devil that killed people like a tattoo. Everyone was scared when they saw him. Even Xia Guyun, Lou Qingshan, and the others would sometimes feel scared when they saw him. Perhaps only she would dare to get close to him.
Fu Ling lowered his head and softly said, “That’s what I used to call you. Now … if I change my tone, I don’t know what it is anymore …”
“If those Righteous Sect disciples see you coming so close to me, I’m afraid that they will add to the trouble.” Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. He stood up and walked out of the cave.
When Fu Ling heard this, he raised his head and shook his head, “Junior Brother Xiao, it’s not like that. Junior Sister Xiao, Senior Sister Xiao and I, as well as Senior Brothers, we never thought you were the devil’s way …”
“Forget it.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped her from continuing. He smiled and said, “Whether it’s right or evil, what does the world have to do with me?” After saying that, he strode out.
Seeing that he was leaving, Fu Ling asked nervously, “Where are you going? Are you well?”
“It’s alright now. I’ll go out and see if those people have caught up.”
“Oh, oh …”
Fu Ling lowered his head and asked, “Then Junior Brother Xiao, have you seen Big Brother Si Que during this period of time?”
“Him …”
Xiao Chen thought back to a few years ago, when he rescued Wei Yang from the Heavenly Gate, Guisi was seriously injured. However, he should have recovered by now. From Shen Jing’s words, he didn’t know where he had gone, and over the years, he had disappeared without a trace.
“I haven’t seen him in all these years.”
“Oh …”
Fu Ling lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.
“I’m leaving.”
Xiao Chen glanced at her, then his body moved and he went out of the valley.
In the cold night breeze, Fu Ling was the only one standing at the entrance of the cave. After standing for a long time, he slowly turned around and returned to the cave where his group of people were.
“How is his injury?”
Seeing her return alone, Qianyu Nichang asked.
“He … he said he’s fine. He went out just now to see if those people were chasing him.” Fu Ling told the truth.
“Yes.”
Qianyu Nichang nodded slightly and didn’t ask any more questions.
By dawn, Fu Ling had already gone out a few times, but he still hadn’t seen Xiao Chen return. He stood at the entrance of the cave and said to himself with a frown, “Junior Brother Xiao went to the cave for most of the night. Why hasn’t he returned yet? Did he run into any danger?”
“He won’t come back.”
At this time, Qianyu Nichang finally stood up and looked outside at the horizon where dawn was about to break. He said slowly.
“Ah …”
“But didn’t he say that he went out to see if those people had caught up with him?” Fu Ling muttered to himself, not understanding for a moment.
“Those people didn’t catch up, so he left. If those people caught up, he would naturally come back and tell us.” Leng Qianxue explained.
“Is that so …”
Fu Ling finally came to his senses and recalled what he had said with a smile before he left, “If those Righteous Sect members saw you coming so close to me, I’m afraid it would add to the trouble.”
The cold wind blew through the valley, and the leaves rustled. Fu Ling looked at the horizon where dawn was about to break. At this moment, his heart suddenly turned sour, as if he was about to cry.
…
Three days later, in the evening, Xiao Chen arrived at an ancient silent land. Perhaps it was because of the abnormality of the earth veins in the depths of the hundred thousand dense forests. At this moment, the jade note in his hand could no longer sense Hua Weiyang’s location for the time being.
The Ancient Desolation was like an endless land. Just three days ago, a ray of light suddenly shone down from this place, attracting countless cultivators to enter one after another in search of the legendary ancient treasure.
Therefore, the people of the various sects had had quite a few battles in the past two days. The originally harmonious Profound Sect’s various sects actually felt as if they had all entered this strange land as if they had entered a devil, causing their murderous and hostile hearts to explode.
It was already getting late. Xiao Chen was standing on the edge of a cliff. His clothes were hunting, and the space between his eyebrows was locked tightly. The last trace of Spiritual Energy he sensed from the jade slip yesterday came from this direction. Could it be that Wei Yang had also entered this strange place of Ancient Desolation?
