As the Universe Turns - Chapter 607
Chapter 607 Shenque Xuanji
“Junior Brother!”
A few figures flew in from outside, led by an old man dressed in red. It seemed that he was the senior brother of the two people from before.
When he saw the two junior brothers whose lives were hanging on the ground, the red-clothed old man’s face was shocked. He condensed his palms and quickly injected a Genuine energy into their bodies to relieve their injuries.
The few people behind him were also frightened. They hurriedly came up and took out a miraculous pill and fed it to the two of them. Only then did they manage to save their lives. However, the two of them were so badly injured today that they feared that they would have retreated for at least three to four hundred years.
“Xiao Yichen …”
The red-clothed old man’s eyes were about to crack as he stared fiercely at the direction of the mountain where Xiao Chen had disappeared. A moment later, he turned around and asked the two junior brothers on the ground, “What exactly happened just now?”
The two people on the ground were still as angry as gossamers. Old man Qingyi’s face was covered in blood as he tried to say, “The talisman given by the elder is useful to him …”
“That talisman is useful …”
The red-clothed old man’s gaze narrowed slightly. At this moment, his expression immediately changed. He muttered to himself, “Could he really be a descendant of that clan …”
“Senior Brother, what … what are you talking about, what kind of clan … aren’t we doing this for Di Gu Sword …”
Old man Qingyi’s mouth was still filled with blood. Just as he had said earlier, the people below them did not know what the real purpose of pursuing Xiao Chen was. They only thought that recovering Di Gu Sword was the most important thing.
“Di Gu …”
The red-clothed old man’s face was still a little stunned. He shook his head and said, “If he really is a member of that clan, compared to this matter, Di Gu is nothing. So that’s how it is. No wonder the two elders, Shen Que and Xuan Ji, took the risk to come out this time. However, they …”
At this point, he clenched his fingers tightly, as if he was about to squeeze out blood from his palm. He said hatefully, “They clearly knew that this person might be from that clan, but they didn’t tell us anything, so we didn’t know anything. They just came here to die like this … Haha, haha …”
“Then Senior Brother … what should we do now …”
The purple-clothed old man on the ground was as angry as a gossamer, and his face turned pale as he said, “The two talismans were originally useful to him, but in the end, somehow, a red light shot out from his sleeve. The two talismans were instantly burned to ashes, and even we were almost injured …”
“Red light …”
The red-clothed old man’s eyes narrowed once more. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly changed, but he could not say it out loud. Otherwise, he would only bring about a calamity.
Seeing his strange expression, Old man Qingyi asked, “Senior Brother … what’s wrong? What are they hiding from us …”
At this moment, the red-clothed old man’s expression became very serious. He said, “Junior brothers, I will send someone to send you back first. You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore. I will naturally tell the two elders, Shen Que and Xuan Ji. Remember, don’t mention the matter of the talisman to anyone …”
Hearing him say this, the two of them felt even more puzzled and uneasy in their hearts. However, since Senior Brother had already said so, the two of them did not ask any further questions.
The red-clothed old man stood up and looked at the two disciples outside the forest. He said loudly, “Send the two Martial Uncles back first. Don’t delay them halfway.”
“Yes …”
The two disciples immediately walked in and helped the two Martial Uncles up. Then, they went outside the mountain range. The red-clothed old man looked at their disappearing back, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of worry.
Not long after, clouds suddenly surged in the other direction, and a powerful aura forced over. Even the nearby mountains seemed to tremble, and the birds and beasts within a radius of tens of kilometers all left in horror.
“It’s the Divine Fault and Xuanji Elders …”
The red-clothed old man’s expression changed slightly. Before he could finish speaking, two figures had already landed in front of him.
The two of them descended like gods. When the red-clothed old man saw them, his entire body trembled. He hurriedly paid his respects and said, “The Thousand Secrets Pavilion’s Yun Zhongxuan greets the Divine Fault and Xuan Ji Elders!”
One was dressed in green, the other was dressed in white. Both of their beards were pale white, and they were dressed in an indescribable immortal style. All the disciples here didn’t dare to move as if they had seen a god.
The Old man Qingyi on the left was Divine Fault Palace Elder Shen Quezi, and the white-clothed old man on the right was Xuanji Palace Elder Xuan Jizi. One of them had already reached the Cave Ruins, and the other was still one step away from reaching the Cave Ruins.
Seeing a pool of blood on the ground, Shen Quezi asked Yun Zhongxuan, “What happened just now? Did you see that person?”
Seeing the Divine Fault Elder personally ask, Yun Zhongxuan felt a little panicked and said, “When the disciple tracked him down, that person had already escaped, and even injured two disciple’s junior brothers …”
Hearing this, the two elders’ gazes narrowed slightly. After a while, Xuan Jizi asked, “Could it be that the talisman I gave you is useless?”
Facing the two elders with profound cultivation, Yun Zhongxuan did not dare to lie. He could only truthfully report, “My junior apprentice-brother just said that those two talismans were originally useful, but in the end, for some reason, a red light suddenly shone from that person’s sleeve and immediately turned those two talismans into ashes …”
“Oh?”
Shen Quezi’s eyes narrowed. He exchanged a glance with his junior brother Xuan Jizi and said, “Elder Xuanji and I will capture that person. Leave this place to Elder Xuanji and I. You guys go outside and be at your disposal at any time. In addition, recently, there have been people from the Demon Gate coming to this mountain. Gather all of you to guard outside. Before Elder Xuanji and I come out, no one is allowed to enter. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, disciple obeys …”
Yun Zhongxuan cupped his hands and didn’t say anything else. He immediately led the people outside. Outsiders probably didn’t know that the first rule of survival in the Tai Shi Dao Sect was that if the elders hadn’t said anything, then don’t ask anything.
After Yun Zhongxuan and his group had disappeared without a trace, Shen Quezi and Xuan Jizi turned around and looked at each other. At this moment, a strange expression flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, the two of them no longer had the immortal style they had just had. On the contrary, they both looked somewhat gloomy and terrifying. After a long time, they finally heard Xuan Jizi say, “Senior Brother, what should we do now? It seems that that person really is from that clan. There can’t be anything wrong with him …”
‘”Isn’t this better? Refining his soul will definitely help Junior Brother step into the Cave Ruins Realm …” said Shen Quezi with a gloomy expression.
“But …”
Xuan Jizi frowned. He subconsciously looked around and whispered, “If this person is really a member of that clan, we will privately refine his soul. If the higher-ups find out, I’m afraid it’s …”
“Don’t worry …”
Shen Quezi’s expression was still gloomy as he said, “I told everyone to leave just now. No one will know what happened here. As for Yun Zhongxuan, he is a smart person and will never say a single word.”
“This is good.”
Xuan Jizi raised his head and looked at the senior brother in front of him with an indescribable expression. After a long time, he said, “This time, I don’t know how to thank senior brother …”
Shen Quezi shook his head and looked at him, “It has been a hundred years. If you fail this time, your lifespan will be over. In these hundred years, we have done too many heaven-defying things, and our luck will inevitably decline. In the next life, we may not be able to cultivate again. Do you understand? The reason why I am helping you like this, do not forget that I am not only your senior brother, but also your biological brother …”
“Big brother …”
Xuan Jizi raised his head, only to see his Senior Brother’s back floating away.
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen headed deeper into the mountains. He didn’t know where he had been today, but his divine sense was sharp. Naturally, he could already feel that two people with extremely high cultivation had already entered this endless mountain range.
