As the Universe Turns - Chapter 701
Chapter 701 Weakness
“Frost Lake …”
At this moment, a sharp gaze flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. This was a gaze that he was determined to obtain and would not allow anyone to touch the cold pool.
Bai Luan and Zi Yuan raised their heads to look at him. Bai Luan whispered, “This time, when the Eye of the Frost Pool appeared, this subordinate received news that not only did the various sects in Diabolism, such as Patriarch Motian, have brought people over, but … in the Righteous path, the various sects have also rushed towards Xiqi.”
“Oh …”
After hearing that, Xiao Chen’s eyes became sharper. The Righteous path’s people were probably trying to stop him from gathering in Spiritual Bloodline Force. As for Diabolism’s people, even though they knew that half of the Eye of the Frost Lake was under his control, they were still heading towards Xiqi. Their hearts were already obvious, and they were probably on Patriarch Motian’s side.
It was no wonder that Lustless Heaven had subdued countless sects and sects in the past few years. However, in the eyes of the older generation of Diabolism, he was still a junior. Naturally, those people had fallen even more towards Diabolism, who had always been highly respected in Patriarch Motian. There was nothing strange about that.
“Your Excellency … what do you plan to do now?” Zi Yuan looked at him and whispered.
“If you are not of my race, your heart will definitely be different …”
At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Even the Night Shade blade that had taken countless lives couldn’t help but tremble.
‘”Those old bastards, like Bei Mingzi, Old Man Devouring Heart, and Xue Hezi, have always stood on Motian Sect’s side. This time, when I annihilate the Heavenly Scorpion Sect, it is obvious that they are going to join hands to get rid of this thorn in my side …”
Xiao Chen said coldly, his heart clear. Although Xianyuan Five Realms only had the four great Devil Sects, the three people he had just mentioned were all the backbones of Diabolism. They seemed to have been under the four great Devil Sects for hundreds of years, but in fact, they had helped stabilize Patriarch Motian in the various sects below.
The candlelight in the hall seemed to have turned even colder. After a while, Xiao Chen asked, “Who are we?”
“Lord, Ancestor Goshawk, Patriarch Nine Nether, Xue Yangzi, and the others have already left for Xiqi.” Zi Yuan cupped his hands and whispered.
“Yes, people from the 36 sects …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Although the people from the 36 sects were already loyal, he was very clear about the strength of these people. It was still easy to restrain some sects in the Righteous path, but if he met Xue Hezi and the others, there was no chance of victory.
Slow down, those people from the 36 sects were no match for Xue Hezi and the others. Even if he met these three people at the same time and added Patriarch Motian, he wouldn’t dare to say that he had a good chance of winning.
Bai Luan and Zi Yuan furrowed their brows and asked, “Then Excellency … what are we going to do now?”
‘”The three of them are very profound and have a pivotal position in Xiao Chen. If we want to successfully obtain the other half of the Eye of the Frost Lake this time, we absolutely cannot allow them to gather with Diabolism in the Xiqi Mountain Range …” said Patriarch Motian coolly.
Hearing this, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan furrowed their brows deeply. They naturally understood this point, but what could they do to stop these three people from going to the Xiqi Mountains?
If they were to deal with other people in the past, they would naturally be able to directly send out 24 people from Night Shade to assassinate the other party. However, these three people from Bei Mingzi were extraordinary. Night Shade might not be able to successfully assassinate them, but the chances of them being captured by mistake were even higher. Once they were captured by mistake, the entire Lustless Heaven would fall into a greater passive position.
“There’s no hurry …”
“Everyone has their weaknesses,” said Xiao Chen coolly. “Even the most famous figures in Diabolism are no exception.”
Hearing this, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan were somewhat confused, Xiao Chen slowly stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the sky under the curtain of night and stood with his hands behind his back. He slowly said, “Bei Mingzi used to be a cultivator. He had a junior brother named Qing Shanzi, and now he is in Mount Hidden Yin. At this time of year, Bei Mingzi visits him. This person is the most important person in Bei Mingzi’s life.”
Hearing this, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan understood a bit. Xiao Chen continued, “As for Old Man Devouring Heart, perhaps even Patriarch Motian doesn’t know. In fact, he has a family in Mortal Suzhou City. As for Xue Hezi …”
At this point, He stopped, He turned around and looked at the two of them. ‘”This person met a mortal woman named Mei Yan six hundred years ago. She fell in love with him at that time and was willing to use all of her life force to help him condense the Demon Infant. Now that this woman has reincarnated many times, she no longer remembers him. However, every year, he still goes to the mortal world to see this woman and never gives up searching for a way to remind her of her old dreams …”
Hearing this, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan felt a chill coming from behind their backs. Even they never knew when Excellency found out about these things.
Originally, they thought that Excellency had been completely focused on Palace Master Wei Yang all these years, but they didn’t expect that he had actually silently done so many things. He must have expected that the situation would be like this, so he went to investigate the three of them in advance …
No wonder so many people were targeting him now, because those people were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts. How could a person with such a meticulous mind, decisive actions, extremely high cultivation and control over countless lives and deaths not be terrifying?
After a while, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan came to their senses. Zi Yuan whispered, “Then Excellency … where are we going now?”
At the end of her sentence, she suddenly shut her mouth. Such a simple question shouldn’t have come from her mouth. Bai Luan also frowned and looked at her. In the past, she wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, but what happened today?
However, Xiao Chen did not care. He only looked at the setting moon outside and said indifferently, “You and I will go to Mount Hidden Yin. In addition, let Yang Xiaoran bring people to the mortal world.”
…
Tibetan Yin Mountain was located in the Extreme Yin region. Qing Shanzi was originally a cultivator, but because of his senior brother’s enchantment with the devil back then, he had no choice but to enter Diabolism. However, these past few years, he did not like the constant conquest in Diabolism, so he lived in seclusion and did not care about the world. However, compared to Bei Mingzi’s cultivation, his cultivation was much shallower.
At this moment, in a cave, there was a Taoist Qingyi lying cross-legged on the ground, slowly breathing out his luck. True Qi flowed endlessly from his body, and he looked like a Taoist master. This person was Bei Mingzi’s junior apprentice-brother, Qing Shanzi.
Right at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. Qing Shanzi did not open his eyes and only said indifferently, “In the past, Senior Brother only came in the middle of February every year. Why did he come two days earlier this time?”
As he spoke, he still seemed to hold a grudge against the enchantment of the devil back then. However, it was not Bei Mingzi that entered the cave. Instead, it was Xiao Chen, Bai Luan, and Zi Yuan.
At this moment, Qing Shanzi seemed to have finally sensed that something was wrong. Even though Senior Brother had killed countless people over the years, when did such a chilling chill appear on his body?
“Who are you!”
Qing Shanzi opened his eyes. When he saw the three strangers, his expression immediately changed. In an instant, he took out an immortal sword that was filled with green light and slashed towards the three of them with a “whoosh” sound.
Inside the cave, a strong wind blew. However, when the Immortal Sword flew in front of Xiao Chen, it seemed to have been frozen by an invisible force. The blade of the sword continued to tremble. No matter how hard Qing Shanzi tried, he couldn’t move any further.
