As the Universe Turns - Chapter 565
Chapter 565 Twilight Desert
In the next three days, Xiao Chen chased after the Divine Sense inside the Flowing Fire Pearl and headed deeper into the Ancient Desolation Land. As he had expected, the young man had just received the Flowing Fire Pearl in less than two hours before he was killed and snatched away.
Xiao Chen followed behind. In the past three days, he had witnessed countless battles. Not only had the Flowing Fire Pearl attracted countless cultivators, but all the treasures found in the Ancient Desolate Land would eventually attract endless slaughter.
In just a few days, the entire Ancient Desolation Lands had been enveloped in a thick layer of bloody aura. Countless cultivators’ blood was slowly seeping into the depths of the Ancient Lands.
At dusk on this day, the bloody aura once again enveloped the ancient land. In order to compete for the treasures and the Flowing Fire Pearl, countless sects began to fight. Each of them seemed to be possessed by a devil, and their eyes were all red with slaughter.
Even those experts who had already attained the Dao in the past felt as if they had entered this ancient land. They were immersed in slaughter and desire, unable to extricate themselves. No matter how profound the Dao Art was, it was unable to awaken them.
“Uh …”
Xiao Chen suddenly felt his chest tighten when he arrived in a red dusk desert. At this moment, the killing intent in his heart also increased several times.
“What’s going on …”
A wave of dizziness struck Xiao Chen’s heart. He immediately felt that the sky was spinning. The scene in front of him was slowly distorting. The desert in the dusk seemed to have been dyed red by fresh blood, and a bloody aura filled the air.
“Kill, kill … kill him!”
“Xiao Yichen, you have committed a monstrous crime today. You still don’t know how to repent!”
“Kill them! Kill him and this witch!”
“Kill … Kill … Kill! Kill!”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned bloody red. It was as if the same scene had appeared on the Lian Feng Stage that day. The sounds of slaughter continued to echo in the surroundings. The people of the Heavenly Sect, the people of Cangfeng Valley, and the people of all sects were present.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
At this moment, it was as if he had finally lost control. Xiao Chen instantly condensed a long sword and slashed towards those people. Blood dyed the desert red. However, there was actually no one around him. There was only that endless and strange desert.
“Kill … Kill! Kill!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes turned bloody red. He had a faint tendency to go crazy. In the end, he let out a muffled snort. Only then did he gradually regain consciousness. In front of him was a boundless red desert. There was no one there. What he had just imagined was all an illusion. It was his own imagination …
How could such a heavy killing intent exist? This place was strange!
Thinking of this, he waved his sleeve and immediately sat down cross-legged. He calmly read out the Heart Cleansing Art passed down by his master, “The human spirit is so clear, but the heart disturbs it, and the heart is so quiet. If you want to lead it, you can often send it away, but the heart is calm, the heart is clear, and the soul is clear …”
After a long time, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes had returned to normal and the killing intent on his body had dissipated. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He was just a little too close to becoming as enchanted as those people. This place was strange, so he shouldn’t stay any longer.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement from the sand dune in the distance. Smoke and dust suddenly erupted from the junction of heaven and earth. There were actually quite a few people coming this way. Looking at the situation, it seemed that several hundred more people were chasing after someone.
“The Flowing Fire Pearl is on her! Quickly catch up to her! Don’t let her escape!”
In the blink of an eye, those people had already arrived nearby. Xiao Chen’s expression couldn’t help but change when he saw that the person running in front of the hundreds of people was none other than Weiyang! Holy shit … Could it be that she was also like those people, possessed by a devil?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen’s heart trembled violently. Just as he was about to fly over, he saw Hua Weiyang suddenly stop. He turned to the people who were chasing after her and laughed loudly, “You want the Flowing Fire Pearl. Here, I’ll give it to you. Catch it!” With that, he forcefully threw the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand towards a sand dune.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … Flowing Fire Pearl! Grab the Flowing Fire Pearl!”
Everyone saw that the Flowing Fire Pearl was thrown into the distance and immediately rushed over. This time, there would be endless battles and blood staining the desert!
Hua Weiyang snorted and patted the dust on his hand. He lightly tapped his feet and landed on a stone in the distance.
At this moment, Xiao Chen also quietly came to her side. He looked at the cultivators fighting in the distance and said, “You deliberately lured them here.”
“Ah!”
Hua Weiyang was shocked by this sudden voice. He turned around and saw that it was him. He stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at him and said, “Hey, you’re walking without a sound. You scared me.” At this point, he looked in the direction behind him and snorted, “Finally got rid of that junior sister of yours?”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked at the endless battles in the distance and asked, “Why did you lure them here?”
“Shh …”
Hua Weiyang hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered in his ear, “I found an ancient formation under the desert that can directly open the barrier to the next level. However, this formation is very strange. It requires a lot of blood to open, so I …”
“So you brought countless people here to fight? Using their blood to activate the formation?”
Even though Xiao Chen had already guessed that, he couldn’t help but feel slightly shocked when he saw her speak so casually.
Hua Weiyang saw that there was a look of reproach in his eyes as he looked at him. “What are you doing so fiercely? Everyone here is a hypocrite full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Killing people is even more ruthless than killing people from the Devil Religion. In any case, they are not good people. When I first came in, I saw that they had gone mad and even killed their own people …” he said with a frown.
“Forget it.”
Xiao Chen stopped talking about her. He looked at the group of people in the distance and said, “Those people have completely lost their minds. There is something strange about this place, Wei Yang. Don’t you notice it at all?”
At the end of his sentence, Xiao Chen saw that she ignored him and turned her head. However, there was a smile on her face. Her beautiful eyes were looking at him. Xiao Chen was puzzled and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
Hua Weiyang smiled softly and said, “Don’t you call me ‘Girl’ now? Or ‘Granny’?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at her helplessly, “I’m talking business with you.”
“I know.”
Hua Weiyang smiled softly and looked at the group of people who were fighting under the setting sun in the distance. He said meaningfully, “The reason why those people went crazy was because they had desire in their hearts, so they went crazy. But look at me, do you think there’s something wrong with me now?” At this point, he turned around and looked at him.
