As the Universe Turns - Chapter 588
Chapter 588 Cloud Paradox
Everyone immediately looked towards Xuanqing Sect. Of course, no matter what happened to Xuanqing Sect in the past, no one dared to openly be rude to Excellency and Xuanqing Sect in the face of Xuanqing Sect’s two Excellency.
Today, the two Excellency had also come for this matter. At this moment, a white-bearded old man stood up and looked at the mountain where everyone in Xuanqing Sect was. He said in a loud voice, “May I know if Fellow Daoists Xuanqing Sect and Xiao Cangtian can explain whether what happened in Xiao Cangtian back then was true?”
Fu Ling and the others were at a loss. As for Adept Xuanyang and the Mirror of Hidden Profound, both of them were characters from the Seven Mysterious Azure Sovereigns. At this moment, they were naturally much calmer than ordinary people.
The two of them were clear in their hearts. Back then, the matter of Xiao Cangtian could no longer be concealed anymore. If they denied it now, it would make people feel that Xuanqing Sect wanted to cover it up.
Daoist Xuanyang stepped forward and said loudly, “Back then, Xiao Cangtian was injured by Junior Sister. There was indeed something wrong. That day, at the foot of Xuanqing Mountain, this person fought with Junior Sister Ling Yin for some reason. Later, he was heavily injured by Junior Sister’s Xuantian Finger, so he escaped into the back mountain of Xuanqing …”
Hearing this, the crowd was already in a commotion. At this moment, the Profound Hidden Mirror also walked forward and took Daoist Xuanyang’s words and continued, “Back then, because the matter was of great importance, and the back mountain of the Profound Green Mountain is where my Profound Green Earth Vein is located, it is inappropriate to alert them. Therefore, the matter of Xiao Cangtian was not made public to the public by me, the Senior Brothers and Sisters.”
The discussions in the crowd grew louder. Of course, the words of the Hidden Profound Mirror were reasonable. The Back Mountain of Xuanqing was where the earth vein was. If one went to look for Xiao Cangtian today and another went to Xuanqing Sect tomorrow, how could there be a peaceful day in Xuanqing Sect? Confidentiality was perfectly reasonable.
However, the current situation was that people from all sects had begun to suspect that Xiao Cangtian had fallen into Xuanqing Sect’s hands and was being forced by Xuanqing Sect to inquire about the whereabouts of the Ancient Scroll of the Book of Heaven. As a result, the matter was no small matter.
To the various sects in Xianyuan Five Realms, the importance of this ancient scroll was incomparable to any other treasure. Therefore, what everyone was most concerned about was where Xiao Cangtian had gone.
A white-bearded old man looked at Xuanqing Sect and asked, “May I know where Xuanqing Sect is now, Excellency?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people from the various sects and sects below immediately echoed with indignation, “Xiao Cangtian, that devil, he killed my Senior Brother back then. This enmity is unsworn. I must find him to avenge Senior Brother!”
“Xiao Cangtian, that evil thief, he slaughtered my entire sect. This vengeance is sworn to be avenged to death!”
“That devil humiliated my wife and daughter back then. I must find him and tear him into pieces!”
The crowd became furious and began to speak out against the devil. On the other hand, Hua Weiyang felt that it was quite interesting in the Ancient Sword Tomb Cave. He sneered, “Idiot, did you see this? This is the so-called righteous path of a famous sect. They can make up anything they want to find the ancient scroll of the Heavenly Book … Idiot?”
Hua Weiyang turned around and saw Xiao Chen’s strange expression. He asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Chen did not say anything. His mind was still filled with scenes from when he blamed Senior for teaching him martial arts. “No matter what achievements you have made in the future, the abilities I have taught you should not be abandoned, let alone abandoned once you meet with setbacks. Do you understand?”
He still remembered the first time he met Senior Monster. It turned out that the enemy Senior Monster was talking about was actually Master …
If one day, Master and Senior Monster meet and they fight, who should I help …
To him, Ling Yin was his master in this life, and there was no substitute for her. To him, Xiao Cangtian … Whether the other party was the Nine Yin Blood Demon or the evil thief that everyone killed, in his heart, he would always be the strange senior who had taught him his skills seriously for the first time.
Back then, when he had just entered Xuanqing, he had been bullied everywhere and was being persecuted by Prince Sun Zhao and Yang Xiaoran. At that time, he was almost in despair, fleeing from Xuanqing in despair, but in despair, he encountered a strange senior and passed on his unparalleled ability …
Although the two of them had only been together for a short month, during that month, he knew exactly what Senior had done to him. Although the other party was sometimes very strict, he hoped that he would learn his skills as soon as possible.
In the past, he didn’t know who Senior was, but today, he finally found out. However, in his heart, he suddenly felt as if a hole had been opened. It wasn’t because of the other party’s identity, but because he didn’t know if the other party was alive or dead. If Senior saw him now, what would happen?
At this moment, the unkempt figure appeared in his mind.
The noise in the crowd grew louder and louder. Many people flew towards Xuanqing Sect and asked the two Excellency where Xiao Cangtian was now.
However, how could the two Excellency know Xiao Cangtian’s whereabouts? The Profound Hidden Mirror looked at the crowd and said loudly, “If it wasn’t for the two of us not telling each other, it’s just that Xiao Cangtian disappeared without a trace back then. Senior Brother and I really don’t know his whereabouts.”
“You’re lying! Back then, Xiao Cangtian hid under your Mysterious Green Mountain. How can you not know his whereabouts now?”
The crowd began to get excited. Many people surrounded them. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “That Xiao Yichen just used was Xiao Cangtian’s kung fu. He used to be from Xuanqing Sect. How could he know Xiao Cangtian’s kung fu now? He must know Xiao Cangtian’s whereabouts!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards Xiao Chen. However, no matter how many people they had, they were still afraid of Xiao Chen. They did not dare to look back and forth like they did towards Daoist Xuanyang and the Mirror of Hidden Profound. For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but look back and forth.
“Hehe …”
At this moment, Gui Santai suddenly laughed again and said, “Rather than speculating where Xiao Cangtian went, you should think about who was chasing after Xiao Cangtian back then. If it weren’t for Xiao Cangtian’s ability back then, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything to him even if he hadn’t been plotted against and suffered a backlash.”
Hearing this, the crowd gradually quieted down. This sentence was also correct. Back then, even Adept Qingxuan did not dare to say that he was 100% confident in taking down Xiao Cangtian’s ability. No matter how deep Fairy Miaoyin’s cultivation was, how could he easily injure his primordial spirit?
At this moment, an old man dressed in purple stood up and said, “Back then, Xiao Cangtian was pursued by the leaders of the Devil Sect. He panicked and ran into the Xuanqing Earth Realm. Then, he met Fairy Miaoyin and was injured by Fairy Miaoyin …”
“Hahahaha!”
Unexpectedly, Gui San Tai laughed out loud. The purple-clothed old man frowned, “What are you laughing at?”
Gui Santai laughed loudly, “With Xiao Cangtian’s ability, do you think he would panic and not even know where Xuanqing Sect is? Why did he crash into Xuanqing Mountain?”
Hearing this, everyone seemed to be startled awake. With Xiao Cangtian’s ability, even if he was injured, it was impossible for him to truly panic and not choose a path. He couldn’t even tell where Xuanqing Sect was anymore. In other words, he was pretending to panic and deliberately headed towards Mysterious Cyan Mountain!
The purple-clothed old man snorted coldly, “What’s so strange about running towards Xuanqing Sect on purpose? He was chased by those Devil Sect people and wanted to run towards Xuanqing Sect. Those Devil Sect people were afraid of Xuanqing Sect, so they naturally wouldn’t chase after him. However, he wasn’t lucky enough to run into Fairy Miaoyin the moment he ran in.”
After hearing this, Gui San Tai laughed again and said loudly, “No, no. If there are a few Devil Sect people, even if Xiao Cangtian runs into the Xuanqing Sect territory, those Devil Sect people will still chase after them. Therefore, if they are chased by those Devil Sect people, there is no need for Xiao Cangtian to run towards Xuanqing Sect …”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into silence. At this moment, on a distant mountain peak, there were a few people from the Devil Sect hiding there. Previously, when they saw a large number of Righteous Daoists arriving, they hid in the darkness. At this moment, after listening to Ghost Three Stage’s explanation, their hearts were filled with contemplation.
Back then, the masters of the Demon Gate had indeed worked together to hunt down Xiao Cangtian, However, they did not chase after Xuan Qing’s territory. That Xiao Cangtian was too difficult to deal with. In the end, the sect masters of the Demon Gate had no choice but to give up. But now, it was said that Xiao Cangtian broke into the Xuan Qing territory because of avoiding the pursuit. In other words, the people who chased after Xiao Cangtian were not the sect masters of their demon gates. Who would it be if they were not the sect masters of their demon gates?
“Hehe …”
In the crowd, Gui Santai laughed again. At this moment, everyone seemed to have realized that the people who had chased after Xiao Cangtian back then were afraid that the people from Xuanqing Sect were not from Diabolism!
Hua Weiyang had already thought about the Ancient Sword Tomb Cave. At this moment, it seemed that there was a good chance that this was the case. The person who had chased Xiao Cangtian to Xuan Qing was not from Diabolism, but from the Righteous Dao Profound Sect!
However, who in the Righteous Dao Profound Sect had the ability to do so? And that person was so afraid of Xuan Qing that he didn’t dare to enter Xuan Qing’s territory to continue chasing after Xiao Cangtian, and he didn’t dare to enter Xuan Qing’s back mountain to search for Xiao Cangtian. He wasn’t afraid of Xuanqing Sect’s people, but there was only one reason. This person wasn’t willing to reveal his identity in the Righteous path, because once he broke into Xuan Qing, he would definitely reveal his identity!
It was precisely because Xiao Cangtian saw this that he ran towards Xuanqing Sect. Therefore, even in the end, he took the risk and chose to hide in the back mountain of Xuan Qing, because he knew that that person would definitely not dare to step into Xuan Qing!
“I know, I know …”
Hua Weiyang finally thought everything through and looked at Xiao Chen, “Idiot, I know. Back then, Xiao Cangtian hid in Xuan Qing because he knew … Xiao Yichen?”
Xiao Chen’s expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy. Even his pupils turned slightly red, and a layer of murderous aura enveloped his body. It was so cold that it made him suffocate.
Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but tremble. From before until now, she had rarely felt that the murderous aura on the other party’s body made her faintly scared.
…
Note: Ling Yin was originally a disciple of Daoist Qingxuan, so he should be Martial Nephew Daoist Xuanyang. However, after Ling Yin, he was one of the seven Martial Nephews of Xuan Qing. Among the seven Martial Nephews, his seniority was the same and they were all referred to as Junior Brothers and Sisters. Therefore, in formal occasions, Daoist Xuanyang now addressed him as Junior Sister.
Similarly, on formal occasions, Ling Yin addressed Daoist Qingxuan as the Sect Leader’s Senior Brother, not Master. Refer to the book for details on seniority, and similar questions will not be repeated in the future.
