As the Universe Turns - Chapter 696
Chapter 696 A Covenant of Ten Years
“Yes …”
Yang Xiaoran cupped his hands. He never dared to ask about what Xiao Chen wanted to do or where he wanted to go.
“Also …”
Xiao Chen stopped. He turned his head slightly and said, “In a few days, the people from the Dream Immortal Sect should be coming. Please take care of them for me. There’s no need for others to know.”
“People from the Dream Immortal Sect …”
Yang Xiaoran’s face flashed with doubt. Dream Immortal Sect was one of the Four Great Devil Sects and had never interacted with Lustless Heaven. Why did he come this time? Yes, just now he said that Meng Xian’er had some friendship with him, so what was going on?
However, he never dared to ask more about Xiao Chen. At this moment, he still cupped his hands and said, “This subordinate will definitely do as you wish.”
“Yes.” Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He pointed his feet and flew off into the distance.
Yang Xiaoran looked at his disappearing back, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper. Sometimes, he would find that he could no longer see through this Sovereign. The other party’s actions and thoughts were often far from what he had imagined.
…
Three days later, the destruction of the Heavenly Scorpion Sect caused everyone in the Devil Dao to be shocked, and even the Righteous Dao sects to feel a chill run down their spines.
“Over the years, Lustless Heaven has caused a bloody storm in the entire Immortal Origin Five Regions. Don’t you dare not obey the Blood Rain Token? Didn’t that person, the sect master, also think of it back then?”
At this moment, in a secret hall of the Devil Heaven Sect, there were two figures standing on the hall. One of them had white hair and a frosty complexion. It was Patriarch Devil Heaven.
The other person was tall and handsome. He was not the adopted son of Patriarch Demon Heaven, Xie Tianluo. Instead, he was a man dressed in green. Judging from his aura, this person was far above the Evil Heaven Luo. He must have a high status in the Demon Heaven Sect.
Patriarch Devil Heaven’s expression was gloomy. He had never imagined that even when he went to the Endless Mountains to search for the Devil Scriptures, he would see that Xiao Chen was definitely not a thing in the pond. However, he had never imagined that this person would be able to change the entire Immortal Origin Five Domains within ten years. Furthermore, he had never imagined that the other party’s cultivation would be so terrifying in just ten years.
If he had known earlier, he would have killed this person in the Endless Mountain Range. At that time, he only thought that this person would be forced by the Righteous Dao and would definitely be enemies with the Righteous Dao. In this way, it would be the best for his Devil Dao, but he only thought of this level. He never thought that this person would be able to take over the powers of the various Devil Dao sects step by step in the next ten years.
In the past, Motian Sect was like Diabolism in the entire Righteous path in Xuanqing Sect. But now, Lustless Heaven had already seriously threatened his position as Motian Sect. He was even like a sharp blade behind him, approaching bit by bit. It was unknown when he would suddenly stab him.
Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Devil Heaven looked at the man in green and said, “Yun Shen, with your thousand years of cultivation, if you encounter this person, what do you think your chances of winning are?”
This man was not anyone else, but one of the three most mysterious people in Motian Sect. His name was Chu Yunshen. Although he looked young, no one knew his actual age.
At this moment, he said, “In the past, I could only cultivate for ten years. But now, I can cultivate for a hundred years in ten years. If I were to return to ten years ago, I would only need an avatar to defeat him. Now, I’m afraid that he would only need an avatar to defeat me.”
Patriarch Devil Heaven shook his head and said, “Yun Shen, you must not underestimate yourself. The Nine Heavenly Devil Technique you cultivated is a technique passed down from our Devil Ancestor back then. The mysteries of it are not inferior to the remnants of the Heavenly Book.”
Chu Yunshen shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Without Senior Sister’s help, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to comprehend the mysteries within. Forget it, forget it …”
…
In the Dream Immortal Sect, peach blossoms were like dreams. The first month hadn’t passed yet, and this place was already like the third month of the mortal world. The petals swirled and fell into the water, causing ripples to appear.
Yu Renfang stood up from the pool. His body was still stained with water and dew, but he heard footsteps outside the courtyard. Meng Xian’er waved her hand and put on her clothes. She said indifferently, “Bell Demon, what’s the matter?”
Yu Qixuan Ji walked in and lowered her head and whispered, “Sect Leader, I just received news that the Heavenly Scorpion Sect was annihilated overnight three days ago …” Finally, she looked up at Meng Xian’er, only to see her gently stroking her hair, as if she didn’t care at all.
“I know.”
After putting on her clothes, Meng Xian’er slowly walked over. There was no change on her face, as if she had already known about this matter.
“Sect Master, you …”
Yu Qixuan Ji couldn’t help but frown when she saw her walk out. Over the years, Lustless Heaven had annexed countless Diabolism forces, and even some righteous profound sects had bowed to her. She was truly worried that Lustless Heaven’s forces would gradually spread to the Dream Immortal Sect, and at that time, it would also annexe the Dream Immortal Sect.
Even though the sects in Diabolism had been like a pile of scattered sand over the past three hundred years, so they were unable to fight against the Righteous path. Ten years ago, the Heavenly Clan’s Yuan Qi was greatly injured, and the sects in Diabolism had risen one after another. But now, Yu Qixuan Ji did not wish for the sects to be annexed by Lustless Heaven.
Meng Xian’er slowly walked out. At this moment, everything that happened ten years ago when she went to the Endless Mountain Range to search for the Devil Scripture appeared in her mind. Ever since they separated, the two of them had never seen each other again. At that time, she had never expected that Xiao Chen would become the current and frightening master of Lustless Heaven.
“You leave tomorrow and go to Lustless Heaven.”
“What …”
Yucha Xuanji’s entire body trembled. She suspected that she had heard wrongly. The Sect Master had actually let her go to Lustless Heaven. Her face couldn’t help but turn pale and ugly. To her, Lustless Heaven was a more terrifying place than the Nine Nether Palace. Where would she dare to go?
“Sect Master, but …”
Yucha Xuanji was anxious to say something when something suddenly flew over. In her hand, it was a jade bottle.
“After you see him, he will naturally not make things difficult for you by giving him such a thing.” Meng Xian’er said slowly as she walked out of the courtyard.
Yucha Xuanji was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the jade bottle in his hand. There were three green flowers on the jade bottle. It was very small and exquisite, but he didn’t know what the sect master was trying to do.
…
Long green mountains overlapped each other, looking for flowers in the boundless mist. Fifty kilometers east of Qingzhou City, there was a mountain of verdant folds. The fog below the mountain was dense all year round. The shade of the mountain overlapped, and a hundred flowers competed for beauty. There was also spring water striking stones. The scenery was extremely quiet.
At this moment, on the peak of the mountain, the cold wind howled by the cliff, and several ancient pines stood alone in the wind. Under the setting sun, the figure of that person was even more deserted.
“You … are here.”
His voice was a little sad and clear. Compared to ten years ago, it seemed to be a bit more vicissitudes. The old man slowly turned around, his appearance still unchanged. It was the old beggar from ten years ago.
Xiao Chen had arrived at the top of the mountain at an unknown time. He was holding a pot of wine in his hand, but his white hair floated in the wind behind his shoulders. His cold and stern face was no longer like the youth who danced in the bamboo forest in the past.
