As the Universe Turns - Chapter 693
Chapter 693 Night Shade
In the room, even though the candle was lit, it was still slightly cold. Hua Weiyang sat on the bed, his face slightly pale. He asked, “Yang Xiaoran … but what did I say to you?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a small matter outside.”
Xiao Chen said softly. As he took out something from his sleeve, it was a fiery red jade. Flames flowed inside, but it was not burning.
“This Fire in the Stone was brought back from Huangbei last time. It can help you defend against the cold energy in your body.”
As he spoke, Xiao Chen handed over the fiery red jade stone. Hua Weiyang took the jade stone. At this moment, he felt a warm feeling gradually flow through his body. However, at this moment, he still did not open his eyebrows and said, “I heard from Moon that you had expended a lot of effort to obtain the Fire in the Stone.”
“It doesn’t matter” Xiao Chen shook his head gently. At this moment, he looked calm.
Unlike him, Hua Weiyang frowned slightly and said, “If only Senior Xiao Cangtian was still here. Perhaps he could help you comprehend the mysteries of the second half of the Heavenly Scripture.”
Xiao Chen remained silent. The Heavenly Book was incomplete. Back then, Xiao Cangtian had used a secret technique to imprint the characters in the fragment of the Heavenly Book into his mind. Later, he had accidentally comprehended the mysteries of the Heavenly Book and comprehended the control of life and death. A few years ago, Xiao Cangtian had helped him sort it out and then left.
In the remaining few years, no matter how much he comprehended it, he would not be able to comprehend the mysteries of the second half of the Heavenly Book Fragment. Perhaps it was because of incompleteness. If he could comprehend the mysteries of the second half, then he might be able to completely control the divine ability of life and death to neutralize the death energy in his body.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. As for the Heavenly Book, one day, I will comprehend it.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and said this. After pausing for a while, he said, “Also, I want to go out in two days. You should rest here properly …”
Hearing him say this, Hua Weiyang’s brows furrowed even deeper, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he only said, “Mm … I want to go out for a walk.”
“Alright …”
Xiao Chen slowly helped her up. When the two of them went outside, they saw that the palaces were scattered and filled with splendor. It was like a dream. If it was the world below, how could there be such a peaceful place?
The entire Wu Yu Tian was very large, like a paradise, but there were also many places where one could only see a vast expanse of white clouds. If one went outside, it would be an endless sea of clouds.
At night, a round of Moon gradually rose from the sea of clouds, illuminating the entire Wuyu Heavens even more flawlessly. Inside the room, Hua Weiyang had already fallen asleep quietly. Xiao Chen gently tucked her in and walked out.
After returning to his palace, everything slowly became quiet again. Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and began to try to comprehend the second half of the Heavenly Book. The white hair behind his shoulders was calm and spontaneous.
Suddenly, he let out a muffled snort and opened his eyes. Cold sweat actually started to form on his forehead. It was still impossible. Unless Ancestor Devil Dao Heavenly Heart was reincarnated, no one would be able to solve the mysteries in the book.
Xiao Chen calmed down for a moment. He slowly stood up and walked to the desk. He reached out and picked up a scroll of ancient books. These were prepared for him by Yang Xiaoran not long ago. They were just ordinary Taoist books.
Back then, Yang Xiaoran didn’t teach him the true cultivation method and used these Taoist scriptures to fool him on Pingyang Peak. But now, after so many years, it was these Taoist scriptures that could calm him down. Every time he was upset, he would flip through these scriptures and calm himself down.
Back in the Heavenly Gate, Ling Yin had struck his two palms, but no one could tell that it was those two palms that had neutralized the backlash of the Three Elements Heart Burning Art in his body, as well as the devil energy that had gradually seeped into his bone marrow. Otherwise, he would have already entered the devil realm by now.
“Death, life, fate, it has the Night Dawn, the Heavens also …”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, a slight movement came from outside. This movement was too weak to alarm anyone, but it could not escape his sharp divine sense. At this moment, he locked onto the source of the movement, behind Lustless Heaven.
In an instant, he opened his eyes and put down the scroll in his hand. Xiao Chen immediately went outside. Following that strange aura, he came to the sea of clouds behind Lustless Heaven. At this moment, under the bright moonlight, there was a faint immortal mountain floating in the depths of the sea of clouds, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Even though he had been here for almost ten years, he had never been to the depths of the sea of clouds behind Lustless Heaven. He did not know what was inside. During the past ten years, he could occasionally feel the strange movement just now, but every time, it was only an instant before the strange movement disappeared into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Every time he came here, he would not move forward. In the end, this Lustless Heaven was left behind from ancient times and had existed for a long time. However, he had only been here for less than ten years. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the Lord of Lustless Heaven. However, he knew that there were some taboos that could not be violated.
For example, the sea of clouds in front of him had always given him an extraordinary feeling. Even though his current cultivation was far from being comparable to ten years ago, he still did not dare to be careless. As long as the strange movements here disappeared and did not pose a threat to the people of Lustless Heaven, he would not take another step forward.
In the end, he slowly retreated back and forth, and the sea of clouds gradually calmed down. In this boundless night, it became a bit more profound and tranquil.
…
Three days later, the Scorpion Sect.
The atmosphere in the Scorpion Sect tonight was exceptionally cold. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something. They were in a state of panic and uneasiness, enduring it one moment at a time.
These past few days, Yin Chunqiu had already allowed the disciples to set up numerous defensive restriction formations in various places. Moreover, he himself already had a cultivation that was close to the Ruined Heaven Realm, but at this moment, his heart was still in suspense.
“Newspaper–”
Suddenly, a disciple ran over to the hall with a panicked expression, causing the candles on both sides to shake violently. Everyone in the hall’s expression froze. Yin Feng looked at him, “What’s the matter? Tell me! Are they here?”
“Reporting … Reporting to Young Master.”
The disciple’s face was pale and he forced himself to calm down. He said, “No … no one found them, but for some reason, all the people we arranged outside were silent …”
“What are you talking about?”
Yin Feng frowned and lowered his head to ponder. Suddenly, his expression changed. At this moment, a faint male voice suddenly sounded from outside, “There’s no movement. That’s because they’re all dead …”
“Yang Xiaoran!”
Hearing this voice, Yin Feng immediately raised his head, only to see that under the curtain of night, more than twenty figures had already appeared, and cold killing intent was gradually approaching.
Everyone in the hall trembled, how could this be possible! Could it be that the twenty-odd people had silently killed all the people they had left outside just like that? They didn’t even touch the slightest restriction, not even the Sect Leader noticed that they were already inside. Were the people of Lustless Heaven really that terrifying?
The Hidden Spring and Autumn Profound Technique was activated, and it flew out in an instant. After seeing the twenty plus people clearly, he finally understood. He coldly said, “No wonder he was able to do so quietly. So it was’ Night Shade ‘who sent out …”
Under the curtain of night, there were twelve people on each side. All of them were cold masked women. These twenty-four people were Lustless Heaven’s most mysterious and terrifying assassination organization. They were called “Night Shade” and “Night Shade”, causing people to be frightened.
They did not appear easily during the day, and even if they did, their faces would be masked. Therefore, very few people had seen their true faces, and those who had seen their true faces were probably dead.
