As the Universe Turns - Chapter 567
Chapter 567 Snatch
The night gradually darkened, and the cold wind whispered in the valley. Inside the cave, the two of them stared at each other without saying a word.
Xiao Chen carefully recalled the journey he had been on. He always felt that it was very strange. Why did all of those people seem to go crazy and possess demons the moment they entered this ancient land? Even if it was for the sake of competing for the rare treasures inside, it shouldn’t be like this …
Seeing that he was silent, Hua Weiyang roughly guessed what he was thinking and said, “Are you thinking that this whole thing is going to be a trap?”
Xiao Chen was not surprised to hear her say what he was thinking. “I have thought about it before, but … who could have designed such a big game? And what was the purpose?” He said.
“This …”
Hua Weiyang thought about it carefully and said to himself, “Using Secret Treasures as a guide to attract countless cultivators … Let alone the purpose, just designing such a trap is something that no one can accomplish without a Heavenspan. For the time being, I can’t think of anyone in this world who has the ability to do so.”
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and then said, “No matter what, be careful.”
“Yes.”
Hua Weiyang nodded slightly and said, “We have used up all of the power of the Flowing Fire Bead before. We need to find another one so that we can reach the third floor. In the deepest part of the third floor, there is the Sword Tomb. It is the place where strange treasures appear in the world. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people fighting for it.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything further. The next morning, the two of them continued into the depths of the second floor. They walked carefully and carefully. Both of them tried their best to conceal their auras, so as not to disturb the souls of the ancient land and the cultivators from outside.
Most importantly, Tai Shi Dao Sect’s two elders with extremely high cultivation were already on the second floor. There were other sects. I wonder if any peerless experts had also entered.
Three days passed like this. At dusk on this day, the two of them arrived outside a secluded valley. Suddenly, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside. Xiao Chen immediately made a silent gesture and inserted his divine sense into the valley. However, there were hundreds of people fighting each other inside. Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they had gone crazy.
“These people … have also gone crazy.”
Hua Weiyang also put his divine sense into it. He saw that the hundreds of people were all cultivators with extremely high cultivation bases. However, at this moment, they were also fighting for a Flowing Fire Pearl. They didn’t even want to die. How could there be the friendship of the Profound Sect in the past?
Xiao Chen remained silent. For the sake of the treasure that was still unknown, these people were already so crazy. It was really hard to imagine what kind of terrifying scene they had when they fought over the remnant of the Heavenly Book in the past. Perhaps the entire ancient land of Xianyuan had been covered in a thick stench of blood for many years.
At this moment, the two of them hid outside and looked for a while. At this moment, seven or eight figures suddenly flew over from afar. Two of them had very strong auras. Xiao Chen stared at them, but they were from Tai Shi Dao Sect.
The leader was two old men dressed in green. One had white hair and wrinkled face, looking very old, while the other looked much younger.
“Shh …”
Hua Weiyang immediately made a silent gesture and pulled him back into the forest behind him. He whispered, “It’s people from Tai Shi Dao Sect, but not those two elders with extremely high cultivation levels. Let’s see how they are first.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say much. He recalled that he had killed those two Soul Formation cultivators from the Tai Shi Dao Sect. The people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect would definitely not let him go. Since the two sides had already formed a grudge, there was no need to worry about anything. If the Flowing Fire Pearl landed in the hands of these people, they would just snatch it away.
At this moment, the valley had been fighting for a long time. Blood was stained with plants, trees, flowers, and stones. Originally, there were less than a hundred people left out of a few hundred. After those Tai Shi Dao Sect people entered, they relied on their high cultivation levels to kill the person who held the Flowing Fire Pearl and snatched it away without saying a word.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … Flowing Fire Pearl is with them!”
The remaining dozens of people had their eyes bloodshot. No matter who the other party was, when they saw the Flowing Fire Pearl being snatched away, they all rushed forward like crazy.
“Ignorant …”
The white-haired old man on the left snorted coldly. Seeing these people rushing forward, his face was filled with disdain. He flipped his palm and the wind and clouds instantly changed. Under the cover of a golden profound light palm print, everything in the valley was shattered. Even the dozen or so people who rushed forward first were no exception. Under the palm power, they were reduced to powder, not even their primordial spirits remained.
Facing such a decisive and fierce killing method, the dozens of people who had already killed Red Eyed finally came to their senses. At this moment, it was as if they were facing a god of death and didn’t dare to go any closer.
“I’ve already obtained the Flowing Fire Pearl. These people don’t need to pay any attention to it anymore. It’s important to take care of business. Senior Brother, let’s go.” The black-haired old man on the right held the Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand and looked at the people in the valley.
“Yes.”
The white-haired old man nodded slightly and did not say anything else. He rolled up his sleeves and immediately brought the few people behind him, turning into a ray of profound light and heading out of the valley.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … Quickly chase after him!”
Inside the valley, the dozens of people seemed to have regained their senses as they took out their flying swords and chased after the valley.
In the woods outside the valley, Hua Weiyang looked at the horizon where Tai Shi Dao Sect’s group had left and asked, “Should we chase after them?”
“Yes.”
Without further ado, Xiao Chen immediately chased after her.
Three days later, in the evening, the two of them followed the aura of the Flowing Fire Pearl all the way to a valley. Presumably, this place was already very close to the crack in the barrier leading to the third floor. At this moment, the few people from Tai Shi Dao Sect were resting in the valley.
When night fell, the two of them restrained their auras and quietly touched the ground. They arrived outside a forest. They saw the few people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect in the forest, while the Flowing Fire Pearl was placed on a middle-aged man in red.
The cold wind blew past and the leaves rustled. The two of them quietly approached. At this moment, the black-haired old man suddenly said, “The two elders must have entered the Sword Tomb by now. After tonight, we must go there as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
The white-haired old man nodded his head without saying a word. At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew past. He seemed to have keenly sensed the abnormality, “Who is it! Come out!” Before he could finish his sentence, he struck out towards the outside of the forest with his palm, causing the trees and vegetation to fly.
As the vegetation flew, a black shadow flew out. The black-haired old man’s gaze focused. He could not see that person’s appearance clearly under the darkness of the night, but his cultivation must be very high. Therefore, he did not dare to take it lightly. He shouted, “Protect the Flowing Fire Pearl!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately flew over with his senior apprentice-brother. The two of them were extremely decisive when they attacked. With a “boom”, they collided with each other’s palm power, but they were both stunned. Both of them said in their hearts, “This person has such a profound skill.”
