As the Universe Turns - Chapter 564
Chapter 564 Flowing Fire
“The Flowing Fire Pearl is over there … Hurry!”
Apart from the gray-clothed old man and Old man Qingyi, the rest of the people in the valley also frantically snatched the Flowing Fire Pearl.
He knew that once the Flowing Fire Pearl fell into his hands, it would bring him death. However, these people did not know why, but at this moment, all of them seemed to be possessed by a devil, and the Flowing Fire Pearl seemed to possess some kind of magic power, causing them to fight for it without their lives.
Very quickly, the hundreds of people began to fight again. No matter whose hand the Flowing Fire Pearl fell into, a faint aura of Flowing Fire would slowly appear on that person’s body. Therefore, it was impossible for him to hide it no matter what.
After fighting for nearly half an incense stick of time, there were less than a hundred people left out of the hundreds. The Flowing Fire Pearl was snatched by everyone and was already stained with blood.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … hand over the Flowing Fire Pearl!”
The remaining dozens of people were still as crazy as ever. Their eyes had long since turned red. Sometimes, even the sect itself could not distinguish between them, and they had already slashed down their fellow disciples with a single sword strike.
Xiao Chen hid outside the valley and saw this scene clearly. He only thought in his heart, these people are crazy and there is no medicine to save them. He must find Wei Yang as soon as possible. If she encounters these people, she will definitely be in danger.
After fighting for a while, he saw that the valley was already a mess of corpses, and blood flowed into a river. At this moment, the Flowing Fire Bead landed in a crack in the stone, emitting a strange aura of flowing fire …
“Flowing Fire Bead, Flowing Fire Bead …”
Suddenly, a young man covered in blood crawled up from the pile of corpses. He was knocked unconscious just now. He didn’t expect that when he woke up, everyone was dead. He was the only one left.
“Hahaha … the Flowing Fire Pearl is mine, you are all dead, now the Flowing Fire Pearl is mine, only I can go to the next level, hahaha …”
The young man staggered towards the crack in the rock. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly flew over and frightened him to death. “Who is it?”
Naturally, it was none other than Xiao Chen, who had just been hiding outside.
When the young man saw that someone was snatching the Flowing Fire Pearl, he didn’t say a word. He just used a killing move. With his cultivation, how could he be Xiao Chen’s opponent?
With a “chi” sound, Xiao Chen pointed his finger. The young man immediately stood there and was unable to move. He looked at the person in front of him in horror, “You … Who are you!”
Xiao Chen ignored him. He waved his hand and took out the Flowing Fire Pearl from the crack in the stone. Seeing the Flowing Fire Pearl fall into his hand, the young man became even more mad. “Put it down! The Flowing Fire Pearl is mine! Give it to me … the Flowing Fire Pearl is mine … give it back to me!”
Xiao Chen still ignored him. At this moment, he held the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand and immediately felt a faint warm aura. Like those people before him, a layer of scarlet red Flowing Fire aura slowly enveloped his body.
“I see …”
Xiao Chen probably already knew what was going on. It seemed that no matter where he put the Flowing Fire Pearl, whether it was in his sleeve or hidden in the Nascent Soul of the Zifu Residence, as long as it remained on his body, it would definitely reveal this layer of Flowing Fire Qi. Furthermore, it would most likely attract other cultivators nearby.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … Flowing Fire Pearl … Return it to me, it’s mine … Didn’t your master teach you not to randomly take other people’s things? Return it to me! Return it to me!”
The young man was still as mad as ever. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his life. All he wanted was the Flowing Fire Pearl.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He held the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand and looked at him. He asked, “Answer me, why do you all want to compete for the Flowing Fire Pearl?”
“Give it back … It’s mine! The Flowing Fire Pearl is mine … Give it back to me!”
At this moment, the young man seemed to be mentally abnormal and didn’t even hear what he was saying.
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. He forcefully pinched the Flowing Fire Pearl and said coldly, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll immediately crush this thing!”
Hearing this, the young man finally seemed to wake up a little. A look of fear appeared on his face as he hurriedly said, “Don’t … don’t! I said! I said …”
“Then hurry up and say it!”
“Yes … yes …”
The young man swallowed his saliva and stared fixedly at the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand. He whispered, “If you want to go to the next level, you must have the Flowing Fire Pearl … No one can resist the bone eroding coldness within the barrier. Only the Flowing Fire Pearl’s aura can resist it …”
At this point, the young man seemed to be possessed again. He stared at the Flowing Fire Pearl in Xiao Chen’s hand and chuckled, “As long as we go to the next level … there will be countless Secret Treasures. You … you can’t even imagine that the next level’s Secret Treasures are all … left behind by the Ancient God, hehe … hehe …”
After listening to him eat and talk for a while, Xiao Chen already understood a bit. No wonder so many people came to snatch the Flowing Fire Pearl without risking their lives. Originally, they had to have the Flowing Fire Pearl in order to go to the next floor of the Land of Ancient Desolation …
However, even so, it was unlikely that so many people would even lose their lives, right? Seeing their appearances just now, it was clear that they had all gone crazy. There must be something strange about this strange place that caused people to have delusions and fall into the Sea of Bitterness Abyss.
As for the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand …
In a short moment, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. He threw the Flowing Fire Pearl at the young man’s feet and said, “Take it.” As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and untied his acupoints.
The young man was overjoyed when he saw that the other party had returned the Flowing Fire Pearl. He was about to bend over to pick it up when he suddenly raised his guard. He thought to himself, “This person won’t kill me while I’m picking up the pearl, right?” How could this person really be willing to return the Flowing Fire Pearl after so much effort? I’m afraid there’s some deceit in this matter …
Xiao Chen saw that he was looking at him with full vigilance and asked, “The bead has been returned to you. Why didn’t you pick it up?”
The young man looked at him and sneered, “How could you be so kind? When I bent down to pick up the bead, wouldn’t you kill me?”
“If you don’t pick it up, then wait for someone else to pick it up.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently as he walked out of the valley. Only when his figure disappeared did the young man frown in confusion. In the end, he didn’t care about that much. He picked up the pearl and immediately turned into a swift shadow and went to the other side of the valley.
After leaving the valley, Xiao Chen went to a high place and looked in the direction where the young man had disappeared. He was lost in thought.
To go to the next level, one would need a Flowing Fire Pearl, but as long as one kept the Flowing Fire Pearl by their side, they would definitely attract endless slaughter.
Now that his injuries had not fully recovered and Wei Yang had not found him, he could not bring trouble on himself. That was why he gave the Flowing Fire Pearl to the young man just now. However, when he threw it out, he had already secretly left behind a strand of divine sense inside the pearl.
