As the Universe Turns - Chapter 655
Chapter 655 Meet the Old Beggar Again
Looking at Xiao Chen’s cold eyes, Shen Quezi laughed bitterly, “It’s a pity that you’re late …”
If he had seen Xiao Chen before, he didn’t know how much hatred would have ignited in his heart, but at this moment, in his eyes, it was actually so calm.
Xiao Chen looked at his body covered in blood and his current weak appearance. Naturally, it was not difficult to tell that he had already been ordered to do so in an instant. However, it was unknown who had injured him so badly. He coldly asked, “Where is she?”
“Hehe, hehe …”
Shen Quezi only sneered and didn’t say anything. After a while, he said, “She’s dead …”
“Let me ask you again, where is she …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes became even colder and more frightening. Shen Quezi raised his head. He originally wanted Xiao Chen to feel pain when he heard Hua Weiyang’s death, but it didn’t seem to have any effect at the moment. Then he thought of Daoist Youlan. It was better to let the two of them fight. No matter who died or who was injured in the end, it would be good for him.
Thinking of this, he laughed coldly again, “Daoist Youlan, she was taken away by Daoist Youlan. As for whether she was taken to the Heavenly Gate or somewhere else, I don’t know …”
Xiao Chen could tell from his current gaze that this did not seem to be a lie. In other words, he had been injured by Daoist Youlan. However, the three Daoists from the Heavenly Gate had never paid attention to the outside world. Why did they capture Wei Yang this time? But no matter what, he had to rescue him.
“Do you have anything else to say …”
Xiao Chen’s voice was cold. As he spoke, a strand of True Essence had already condensed in his palm. Shen Quezi laughed bitterly. He knew that he could not escape death no matter what. He simply closed his eyes and said, “Let’s do it.”
“Bang!”
With a deep sound, Xiao Chen struck his Heavenly Spirit heavily, instantly shattering it, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices, and even his primordial spirit to be shattered.
This could also be considered as giving Shen Quezi a good time. If it was someone else, perhaps he wouldn’t have died so happily.
With a “putong” sound, Shen Quezi’s corpse fell backwards. It was also at this moment that Xiao Chen discovered an aura outside the forest. He stretched out his hand and a restrictive force covered the corpse, immediately trapping the man inside.
The man was dressed in white and had a folding fan in his hand. It looked particularly eye-catching at night. It was none other than Feng Wuyin. He had just arrived when he saw Xiao Chen kill Shen Quezi. He wanted to leave quietly, but he was surprised.
“Feng Wuyin …”
Killing intent flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He had just killed Shen Quezi to give Shen Quezi a good time, but he would not let Feng Wuyin off so easily.
At this moment, Feng Wuyin also saw the killing intent in his eyes, but he was still able to remain calm. He said, “Xiao Yichen, if you kill me, you can’t save her. I have a way to get you to save her …”
This person was full of tricks. Xiao Chen naturally wouldn’t believe his words. At this moment, he couldn’t kill him directly. This person was still useful to him. However, in order to prevent a calamity from occurring again, he could only imprison his primordial spirit.
“Whoosh!”
With a sharp sound, an object with a flaw in the green light flew out of Xiao Chen’s sleeve. Looking closely, it was an ancient lamp with green light. The lamp was surrounded by a strange mist that emitted specks of green light. It was precisely the “Soul-absorbing Green Lamp” that Hua Weiyang had seized from Feng Zhuyun, the disciple of Patriarch Ghost Tuo, in the Immortal North Ancient Realm.
This magic treasure was originally extremely powerful. It was found by Patriarch Ghost Tuo from an ancient cave back then. Later on, it was used to intimidate many cultivators. However, because this magic treasure was extremely evil, Xiao Chen had not used it a few times. It was perfect to use it to imprison Feng Wuyin’s soul.
As Xiao Chen threw the Soul Absorbing Green Lamp into the air, a gloomy wind blew through the valley. Strange mist filled the valley, and the howling of the wind was like a ghost crying, causing one’s scalp to go numb.
The surroundings were also reflected in a dark green color. Feng Wuyin seemed to have sensed the horror of the magic treasure. This time, his expression finally changed. “Xiao Yichen, what do you want to do?”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He raised his hand and covered his head. With his current Spirit Severing ability and the three soul techniques that Ku Lingzi had taught him, it was easy for him to forcefully extract Feng Wuyin’s soul.
However, the moment his palm approached Feng Wuyin’s head, a red light suddenly shot out from Feng Wuyin’s chest, blocking him from leaving.
The red light instantly transformed into an illusion. It was an old man with bright white hair. It must be Feng Wuyin’s master. Because he was worried that he was going out, he left a strand of divine soul power on him.
“Master …”
At this moment, Feng Wuyin seemed to have grabbed onto the last straw and looked at the shadow in the air.
Xiao Chen looked at the phantom. Even if it was just a phantom, he could still feel the aura of this person. At the very least, he was a peerless expert at the Harmonious Stage. He said, “Who are you?”
The phantom also looked at him at this moment. “Ling Xuzi, little friend is also a cultivator. You should know the consequences of your soul leaving your body. You have already killed two elders of our sect. However, Shen Quezi and Xuan Jizi are to blame. I will not pursue this matter any further. Why would little friend continue to kill them all?”
“Kill them all …”
Xiao Chen’s voice was cold and his attitude was firm. There was no room for negotiation, “I can let go of the rest of your disciples, but I will definitely accept this person’s soul today!” As he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated. His palm landed on Feng Wuyin’s head. Ling Xuzi did not expect him to be so decisive. He was immediately shocked, “Little friend, stop!”
However, Xiao Chen’s palm had already landed. There was no reason for him to stop. Feng Wuyin immediately let out a harsh and miserable scream, “Master … save me!”
“Feng’er …”
Ling Xuzi was shocked, but he could only watch helplessly at this moment. He only had one strand of divine soul power. If he were to deal with an ordinary Cave Ruins Realm cultivator, he might be able to do so, but he knew that this strand of divine soul power could not deal with the person in front of him.
“Little friend, you have something to say. Can you stop first?”
Ling Xuzi’s face became more and more anxious, but Xiao Chen simply ignored it. He used his last bit of strength to pull Feng Wuyin’s soul out. The Soul-absorbing Green Lamp in the air immediately flew over with a fiendish and gloomy wind and stored Feng Wuyin’s soul within it.
“Feng’er!”
Ling Xuzi’s eyes were about to crack. Xiao Chen rolled up his sleeve and withdrew the Soul Absorbing Green Lamp. At this moment, Ling Xuzi’s phantom image gradually dissipated. However, his last gaze was still extremely cold and terrifying. “I will definitely come out one day and meet my little friend personally …”
When Ling Xuzi’s figure completely dissipated, the surroundings became silent again. Xiao Chen looked towards the Eastern Region of Immortal Origin and his eyebrows gradually furrowed. This time, he had to go to the Heavenly Gate to save someone.
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen had already arrived in the Eastern Region. In the past two days, he had heard a lot of news that Palace Master Lianhua had been captured by the Heavenly Gate and would be judged in two days.
This time, the originally restless Xianyuan Five Realms caused another disturbance. Many sects had rushed to the Heavenly Gate these past two days. There were also many rumors outside that he would go to the Heavenly Gate to save people.
A while ago, the rumors that he knew the whereabouts of Xiao Cangtian had been circulating outside. This time, it had pushed him to the peak of the storm once again.
“Obviously, someone intentionally lured you to the Heavenly Gate.”
Suddenly, a woman dressed in green entered the room. This woman was as angry as an orchid. It was Shen Jing. It was obvious that she had returned to Xianyuan Five Realms some time ago. She had also heard rumors outside these two days. That was why she met Xiao Chen here today.
“You can’t go.”
Shen Jing sat beside him and said, “One shot cannot be pulled. You are the key shot. Someone is setting up the Heavenly Gate. The ultimate goal is probably not you, but the situation in Xianyuan Five Realms.”
“They have captured Wei Yang. If I don’t go, Wei Yang will definitely be in danger” Xiao Chen frowned deeply and shook his head in the end. “I have to go …”
Shen Jing looked at him and knew that he had been stubborn since childhood. This time, it would be extremely difficult to persuade him. In the end, she sighed and said, “Forget it. Ku Lingzi and I will wait for you outside. If you don’t die this time, I will be able to cure you.”
He knew that he was going to die, but he had no choice but to go, “Zheng!” With a sharp sound, the Di Gu Sword appeared in his hand. “Di Gu, Di Gu, this time it’s all up to you.”
…
On the second day, he had already arrived at the Eastern Prefecture where the Heavenly Gate was located. In front of him was a bamboo forest. Today, the sun was very warm, shining on the bamboo forest, sprinkling beams of brilliant light.
As Xiao Chen passed through the bamboo forest, he smelled a wisp of wine fragrance floating over. He followed the wine fragrance and saw an old beggar sleeping on a bent bamboo at the end of the bamboo forest, blocking his path.
