As the Universe Turns - Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Clue
At this moment, no one spoke in the vast flat mountain. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the white-clothed youth to see what he was going to say later.

In the distance, Xiao Yichen was also silent. He had just observed it carefully, Although the swordsmanship and movement technique that this person displayed was intentionally learning Master’s Jade Flute Swordsmanship and Ling Xian Step’s, it was undeniable that this person’s swordsmanship and movement technique was indeed extremely powerful. He did not know which sect or sect it was. He had never seen it in the Central Plains these past few years. He did not know why this person disguised himself as challenging the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley.

The white-clothed youth took a step forward with a warm smile on his face. He waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled, “This junior doesn’t dare to make any demands. I only have a small request, that is, I hope that in three days’ time, I can have a decisive battle with the Master of the Mysterious Valley.”

“He … he wants to challenge Ouyang Bai!”

This time, everyone in the crowd was even more shocked. This youth challenged the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley. It turned out that his real goal was actually the Young Master of the Mysterious Valley!

No wonder, no wonder he came all the way to the Northern Domain, it turned out that he really came here for the sake of making a name for himself!

Ouyang Bai had already become famous in the Northern Domain. His cultivation was definitely not ordinary. This time, there was something to see. One was a young man who had gained fame in the past two years, and the other was the young lord of the Mysterious Valley who had become famous for many years. This time, Pingdingshan was probably bustling with excitement. Which of these two young men was stronger or weaker?

All of a sudden, everyone sent out spiritual messages. The news spread throughout the world to every corner of the Northern Region. If Xiao Yichen challenged the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley, it would only attract people from all sects to watch. However, three days later, Xiao Yichen challenged Ouyang Bai, which would shake the Northern Region. At that time, regardless of the size of the sect, even their sect leaders would have to personally come.

In the distance, the real Xiao Yichen frowned deeply. Who exactly was this person? What was the purpose?

Old man Zi Yi nodded slightly and said, “This old man will pass this message on to the Young Master. Three days later, I will invite you to come here and bid you farewell.” After saying that, the seven of them took their weapons and turned into a few long rays of light, flying towards the direction of the Mysterious Valley.

The crowd was still unable to calm down for a long time. The white-clothed youth wore a smile as he watched the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley disappear. He turned around and hugged everyone present. “Mr. Xiao, please take your leave first. Seniors, please bear witness in three days.” After saying that, he stepped into the void and disappeared in a flash.

When Yi Chen saw him leave, he took advantage of others’ carelessness to unfold the Ling Xian Steps and intercept him in another direction. When he arrived at a quiet valley, the white-clothed youth finally stopped and looked back. It was as if he had also noticed someone chasing him.

After seeing that there was no wind or grass behind him, the white-clothed youth seemed to calm down. He lifted the corner of his mouth and revealed a smug smile. He turned around and prepared to continue walking. However, before he could take a step, he was shocked. There was an unknown number of people in front of him. His face was as cold as frost, and he seemed to be the real Xiao Yichen.

The white-clothed youth coughed, cleared his throat, and said confidently, “Hey! Who are you? Why do you look so similar to me? Why don’t you move aside!”

Yi Chen’s expression was cold. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. His gaze was as sharp as two sharp swords. He said coldly, “Who exactly are you? Why are you pretending to be me?”

When the white-clothed youth saw through it, not only was he not guilty, he was even more reasonable. “Who are you? Don’t think that you can talk nonsense here just because you look a little similar to me. Watch out for my Xiao Yichen sword strike. You might be seriously injured.”

“Then … I have offended you.”

Yi Chen’s figure moved, quickly approaching his body like a ghost. He reached out his left hand and grabbed onto his face. If he wanted to see the true face of this person, he had to take off the mask on his face.

When the white-clothed youth saw the other party’s attack, he quickly retreated a few feet. Although his movement technique was extremely fast, Xiao Yichen was no longer as fast as it was two or three years ago. He attacked even faster than lightning. After a few rounds, the youth had fought against the Seven Ghosts, and Genuine energy had yet to recover. At this moment, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

“You’re unreasonable! Get out of the way!”

The youth was forced to retreat step by step. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, he seemed to be in a hurry. A fierce palm wind blew towards Xiao Yichen. The surrounding plants, flowers, and stones immediately flew everywhere. Xiao Yichen caught the palm strike from him and pushed him back three steps with his internal strength.

“Show yourself!”

Yi Chen’s eyes were sharp as lightning as he grabbed his jaw. The youth was shocked and instinctively leaned back. Xiao Yichen’s grab landed on his chest.

“You!”

The youth’s entire body felt as if he had been struck by an electric shock. He used his full profound strength to shake him away with a palm strike. Xiao Yichen steadied his feet and instantly bullied him. Seeing that he was coming aggressively, the youth flicked his sleeve and a faint red mist immediately rushed towards him.

However, there was a dense fragrance of flowers in the mist. Yi Chen was afraid that the mist would be poisonous. He instinctively raised his sleeve to block it. However, when he dispersed the red mist, there was no trace of the youth in front of him.

“He escaped …”

Yi Chen focused his attention and raised his hand to look at his palm. He thought to himself, “This person’s body is soft. Could it be that he has cultivated the legendary bone transformation technique that has long since disappeared from Jianghu?” Who exactly is this person? He is actually so capable …

Right at this moment, another figure flew down from behind. That person was Guisi. However, Yi Chen turned around and saw that it was him. He said, “That person ran away …”

However, Guisi seemed to have discovered something long ago. He looked at the vast mountain range in the distance and smiled, “It seems that that person’s qinggong is not below Brother Wu Chen’s.”

Yi Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. “He can still escape after exhausting a lot of strength. I’m afraid that this person’s qinggong is still above mine. Since Brother Si Que has already seen through my identity, don’t make fun of me anymore.”

“Haha!” Guisi raised his head and smiled, “That person pretended to be Brother Xiao and challenged Ouyang Bai in the name of Brother Xiao. What does Brother Xiao think is the reason?”

Yi Chen gradually fell into deep thought. He thought to himself, this person’s strength is not inferior to his own, and his movement technique, sword technique, and light arts are not inferior to his own. Why would he pretend to be himself to challenge the Master of the Mysterious Valley? Exactly what he wanted to do.

However, Guisi said, “Obscure and observant, quiet and observant, then the feelings of all things, Bi Chen in front.”

Yi Chen nodded slightly. He understood what he meant. However, he was too careless just now. He shouldn’t have appeared so quickly before he could be sure that he could restrain this person. Now, he was alarming everyone. He didn’t know if this person would come to Pingdingshan to meet him in three days’ time.

He said, “In three days, this person should come to the appointment. However, this person is too cunning, and his qinggong is not below mine. At that time, I will ask Brother Sique to lend a hand to Xiao and restrain this person.”

“That’s easy to say.” Guisi smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Three days passed in a hurry, Sure enough, no matter how big or small the Northern Region was, they had received news that “Ling Yin’s disciple Xiao Yi Chen” had defeated the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley and was about to challenge Ouyang Bai. The entire Northern Region was bustling with excitement. Those who originally did not intend to come to Pingdingshan hurriedly rushed over in three days, wanting to take a look at this “Legendary Young Master”.

On this day, a dense crowd of people gathered on Pingding Mountain. Looking around, it was filled with shadows. There were even people from various sects standing on the surrounding mountain peaks, at least ten times more than three days ago. Yi Chen did not expect that there were no fewer cultivators in the Northern Region than in the Central Plains.

At this moment, the crowd was discussing endlessly. Everyone’s voices were boiling. Towards noon, a profound light suddenly came from the horizon and landed on a huge rock at the top of the mountain. The crowd suddenly quieted down. The person was dressed in white, his face was like jade, his eyes were cold, and there was a red mark between his eyebrows. It was none other than the young lord of the profound valley, Ouyang Bai.

“Ouyang Lai of the Mysterious Valley, where is Xiao Yi Chen?”

Ouyang Bai’s voice was cold and his aura was shocking. He wasn’t as polite as the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley. Everyone around looked around. Xiao Yi Chen said three days ago that he would come today. Why was it almost noon again? There was still no one around?

Half an hour had passed, and they were gradually moving westward. There was still no sign of “Xiao Yi Chen”, and the crowd began to discuss again.

In the distance, Xiao Yichen and Guisi glanced at each other, wondering if this person would not come today? Was it because he had alarmed her three days ago?

After a while, the discussion in the crowd grew louder. Yi Chen frowned deeply, but the moment they looked at each other, both of them thought of something!

Shit!

Yi Chen’s expression changed slightly. This person would not come. It was not because he appeared three days ago. Even if he did not appear three days ago, and even if he did not come to Pingding Mountain, this person would not come to fight Ouyang Bai! This was because this person’s real goal was not to challenge the Profound Valley!

At this moment, both of them seemed to have thought of something.

Yi Chen stepped forward and flew towards the top of the mountain without hesitation. “I’m Xiao Yichen!” He said loudly.

This sudden scene caused everyone to be stunned. Ouyang Bai’s eyes were cold as he coldly said, “Draw your sword.”

“Wait!”

Yi Chen stretched out his hand and said, “I’m not here to duel with you today!”

“What?” Everyone couldn’t help but feel confused. At this time, someone finally noticed that he was a little different from three days ago. A white-bearded old man with sharp eyes said, “Wait, who are you? You are not Xiao Yichen from three days ago.”

“I am Xiao Yichen, the only disciple under Fairy Miaoyin, Xiao Yichen.” Yi Chen said loudly again. He paused for a moment and then said, “That person pretended to be me three days ago. He is not Xiao Yichen! And I have never challenged the Mysterious Valley before!”

“What?”

This time, the crowd was even more shocked. What was the situation now? At this moment, a clear male voice sounded from the direction he flew in, “There is only one Xiao Yichen in the world. It is him. I can prove it.”

The person who spoke was naturally Guisi. Everyone looked at him and said, “Who are you? How do you prove it?”

“I’m Guisi.”

“Guisi? The person who was kicked out of the Heavenly Gate five years ago?”

There was much discussion in the crowd, and only a cold voice sounded, “Are you finished? Can we begin now?”

Yi Chen immediately looked at Ouyang Bai and said, “I said that I’m not here to compete with you today. It’s meaningless.” ‘”I know you won’t believe what Xiao said for a moment, but please don’t hesitate and quickly return to your respective sects!”
