As the Universe Turns - Chapter 674
Chapter 674 The Game in Shen Cangming
“This voice is …”
When the older generation heard this voice, their faces were instantly shocked. Even though it had been many years, and even though it was so far away, this voice was still unforgettable. It was Xuanqing Sect, Lian Feng Tower, and the Immortal Burial Cliff …
Hua Weiyang stared at the purple-robed man and said indifferently, “Daoist Youlan … no, I should call you now. Shen Cangming …”
“Shen Cangming!”
Daoist Yushan’s expression instantly froze. At this moment, he finally thought of something. Once he was lucky in his profound arts, a strand of True Essence instantly condensed in his palm. He was tightly wary of this person in front of him, who was still his junior apprentice-brother a moment ago.
“Haha …”
A faint laugh came from beneath the battle robe once again. It caused one to hear it. Everyone felt a chill down their spines. The disciples of the younger generation were even more confused. Only the characters of the older generation deeply remembered the words “Shen Cangming”. At this moment, they were stunned on the spot, unable to believe it.
Daoist Youlan slowly took off his battle robe. Beneath the battle robe was a cold and indifferent man. At this moment, he was no longer Daoist Youlan. He was Shen Cangming, the only disciple of Daoist Kusong. In the past thousand years, a peerless genius had emerged from Xuanqing Sect. More than 300 years ago, he had been accused of killing people from various sects because of his involvement in the Heavenly Book Storm. On the day of the trial of Xuanqing, he jumped down the Immortal Burial Cliff and never heard from him again.
“Shen Cangming …”
Jiang Nanliu and his eyebrows were also completely stunned. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he could still recall the scene from more than 300 years ago: “Today, the world has defeated me. I, Shen, will definitely come back if I don’t die …”
At this moment, many people shivered from the bottom of their hearts. They still remembered his last resolute and fierce words back then.
As for Poria and the others, they were all stunned at this moment. These disciples of the younger generation had never seen Shen Cangming before, let alone what had happened back then. They only occasionally heard people mention that Xuanqing Sect once had a peerless genius …
“He … he’s back for revenge!”
Everyone trembled, but in the next moment, they were even more terrified. Three hundred years ago, the real Daoist Youlan had died three hundred years ago. In other words, this person had controlled the Heavenly Sect for three hundred years! As for the Heavenly Gate, it was related to the various sects of the Immortal Origin Five Regions, so this person already knew the various sects like the palm of his hand, and even secretly controlled them!
At this moment, the Sect Leaders and Elders of each sect felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss. They could only feel the cold behind their backs. Their bodies involuntarily trembled. In the past three hundred years, this person had covered the sky with one hand in the Heavenly Sect and controlled the changes in the Immortal Origin Five Domains. Just how much strength had he gathered?
This time, however, Daoist Feng Yin had never expected that. Apart from being shocked, he pointed at Shen Cangming and said, “Take this person down!”
However, under his command, all the people from the nearby Heavenly Gates were trembling. None of them dared to approach Shen Cangming, not even the four envoys dared to move.
Guan Qishi trembled and said, “You … Daoist Youlan, now … what should we do now?”
Facing Shen Cangming, he was actually still addressed as “Daoist Youlan”. At this moment, everyone from the distant sects was shocked. At this moment, the rest of the Heavenly Gate were actually standing on Shen Cangming’s side, still calling him Daoist Youlan.
“You … you …”
Seeing this scene, Daoist Feng Yin was both shocked and furious. His face was deathly pale, and his fingers were constantly trembling. He never imagined that in the past three hundred years, he had handed over the power of the Heavenly Gate to this person. Now, everyone had actually become his subordinates.
“Zheng!”
With a sharp sound, Daoist Feng Yin was extremely angry. He didn’t leave any room for action, and a streak of azure sword qi slashed over, causing the wind to surge.
Shen Cangming’s expression was indifferent. He raised his left hand and condensed a black mist. With a “clang” sound, Daoist Feng Yin’s sword qi completely disappeared.
“You …”
Daoist Feng Yin felt even more stifled. He had never imagined that Shen Cangming’s current cultivation was so terrifying that he was even above him!
Below the Asura Valley, the Eight Palace Elders were already stunned. Today’s change was too sudden, and they were completely unable to predict. What should they do now? For the past three hundred years, they had obeyed Daoist Youlan’s orders. But now, this Daoist Youlan was no longer Daoist Youlan, but the evil disciple of the Xuanqing Sect back then! What should we do now?
The eight elders were all stunned and at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly stood forward. At this moment, his face was calm as he looked at Shen Cangming and said, “Shen Cangming, I still want to ask you today. Back then, in the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, you were hunted down by people from the Bie Jian Villa. That day, you were seriously injured and almost lost. In the end, the person who saved you was called Si You.”
Once these words were spoken, the people nearby were shocked again. What Immortal Northern Ancient Realm? What Bie Jian Villa? What serious injuries are going to kill you? What was nearly robbed? What Si You? Why did she know about these things …
“Oh?”
Shen Cangming looked at her and said indifferently, “You mean the High Priest … Oh, I almost forgot. If you go back, say hello to him for me …”
“The two of them … what are they talking about?”
The crowd looked at each other. Slow down, the people from the other sects couldn’t understand what they were talking about. Even the people from the Heavenly Sect didn’t know what the two of them were talking about. Only Daoist Feng Yin’s expression changed slightly. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something.
“As expected …”
Hua Weiyang’s eyes were calm. She had long expected that Shen Cangming would die of serious injuries and would almost be taken away by Ku Lingzi. The last black wind saved him. That black wind was Si You’s avatar. Si You’s avatar technique was something that no one in the Three Realms could compare to. It was able to cross the restrictions of the Human and Secluded Realms and arrive in the Human Realm.
At that time, Shen Cangming was seriously injured. If Si You hadn’t given him the power of the Nether Race and given him the Soul Seal of the Nether Race, how could he have survived? How could he not only recover his cultivation in a short twelve years, but also become much stronger?
Originally, all of this was arranged by Si You in the mortal world, but he didn’t expect that Shen Cangming would one day break free from his soul seal. The chess piece that he personally laid down would ultimately disrupt his entire game of chess. In this world, no one could bind Shen Cangming.
Hua Weiyang flicked his sleeves and coldly looked at him, “Then nine years ago, people from all sects and sects died under the Jade Flute Sword Technique. It was also you who did this …”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was even more shocked. Compared to what happened more than three hundred years ago, they naturally remembered more clearly what happened nine years ago.
The Jade Flute Swordsmanship was Ling Yin’s swordsmanship, and Ling Yin was the only disciple in Xiao Chen. Therefore, at that time, everyone believed that it was Xiao Chen who killed him. In the end, they even forced him to jump down from Lian Feng Tower. Could it be that those people had nothing to do with him back then?
“Hehe, hehe …”
At this moment, everyone was extremely shocked. All of their attention was on Shen Cangming, but none of them noticed that Xiao Chen’s expression had become even more terrifying.
