As the Universe Turns - Chapter 706
Chapter 706 Chase After
“Miss Ruoshui, listen to me. Hurry up and stop. There’s a Diabolism monster ahead. It’s very dangerous for you to go over like this!”
He Chongtian kept shouting from behind. Ruoshui ignored him and controlled the flying sword to its fastest speed. He thought to himself that your evil intentions are a hundred times more terrifying than those Demon Cult monsters. I would rather meet those Demon Cult monsters than fall into your hands.
After chasing after him for half the night, seeing that it was almost dawn and the two of them were still chasing after him, He Chongtian said anxiously, “Senior Brother, what should we do now? If she tells Ling Yin about those things, I’m afraid …”
“There’s no hurry. Her cultivation is still shallow. Right now, she relies entirely on those magic treasures. There will always be a time when Spiritual Energy will run out of magic treasures. She won’t be able to run very far. Quickly chase after them!”
As Xu Taichang spoke, he also controlled the flying sword, making it much faster. Of course, if they were to kill people and silence them, they wouldn’t dare to do so. However, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to use a few tricks to erase a person’s memories.
“Miss Ruoshui, stop! It’s really dangerous up ahead!”
He Chongtian continued to shout from behind, but Ruoshui flew faster and faster, not daring to stop at all. Just like that, he flew until noon the next day. Both sides were still chasing after the wind and lightning in this mountain range, and their speed was at the same level.
At this moment, he did not know where he was. When he arrived at a mountain stream, Ruoshui quickly took a few mouthfuls of water and drank. Fortunately, he had the Wind Controlling Orb given to him by Uncle Grandmaster. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the claws of the two people behind him. Just as he was thinking this, another sound came from behind him.
Ruoshui stomped his foot and said, “The vengeance never dissipates!” After saying that, he took out a white pearl and saw that Spiritual Energy was surrounded by the pearl. Obviously, it was an extraordinary magic treasure.
This was the Wind Imperial Pearl. It was a birthday gift from Feng Xiaoyin on her sixteenth birthday. The other martial uncles also gave her magic treasures as birthday gifts. In Xuanqing Sect, the young girl could be said to be doted on by thousands of people. She was completely different from Xiao Chen’s rough journey.
“Let her escape again …”
The two of them chased down the mountain stream, but they could only smell the fragrance left behind by the young girl. There was no longer anyone left. He Chongtian said, “That little girl has too many magic treasures on her. If she chased down like this, it would be impossible.”
The two of them exchanged glances. At this moment, they seemed to have an idea. They nodded and headed in different directions with their swords.
Until noon the next day, Ruoshui had already run to an unknown place. He could only see the boundless mountains around him, not distinguishing between the east and west. If it wasn’t for the large number of magic treasures on her body, she would have taught the two of them to capture her long ago.
Right at this moment, two sword lights suddenly flew over from afar, but they did not come from the same direction, blocking the path between her front and rear.
“Shit …”
This time, Ruoshui was complaining endlessly in his heart. The Wind Riding Pearl’s Spiritual Energy was almost exhausted, and it was difficult to replenish it in a short period of time. Without the Wind Riding Pearl, wouldn’t he immediately teach the two of them to catch it?
Right at this moment, she suddenly formed a seal with both of her hands and took out another magic treasure. This magic treasure was a black feather robe. Once it was worn on her body, it immediately concealed her traces.
This magic treasure was called “Wuliyi” and was gifted by Xie Chichun. After putting it on, it would be able to remain invisible for a short period of time, making it undetectable to the enemy.
Very quickly, two streaks of sword light landed in the valley. The two of them were Xu Taichang and He Chongtian. The two of them searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Ruoshui. He Chongtian frowned and said, “It was obvious that they were here just now. How could they have disappeared in an instant?”
“No … her aura is still nearby.”
The space between Xu Taichang’s eyebrows narrowed. He immediately realized that this little girl must have used another magic treasure to cover her tracks. Immediately, he carefully searched with his divine sense.
Not far away, Ruoshui held her breath. Fortunately, Second Martial Uncle had given her the black cloth. Otherwise, there really wouldn’t have been a place to hide. However, although the black cloth could conceal its appearance, it was only a cover-up. Once she encountered someone with a profound cultivation, she would be able to see through it with a single glance. With her current Spiritual Energy, she could only last for half an incense stick of time.
Therefore, at this moment, she could only be cautious and go out bit by bit. She could not make any sound of wind blowing or grass moving. Otherwise, she would definitely be detected by their divine senses.
After searching for a while, He Chongtian whispered, “Senior Brother, have you found her?”
“Wait …”
Xu Taichang’s expression was solemn. He seemed to have tracked Ruoshui’s aura and was constantly approaching her. Seeing him leaning towards him, Ruoshui’s heart jumped. Without paying attention, he actually stepped on a puddle of water. This immediately exposed his tracks.
“Over there!”
He Chongtian instantly reacted and stretched out his hand to force a profound energy over. How could Ruoshui withstand this profound energy? The Spiritual Energy on his body collapsed and his entire body was immediately exposed.
“Miss Ruoshui, don’t run anymore.”
Xu Taichang’s gaze was cold and stern. Without saying anything else, he reached out and grabbed Xu Taichang. However, when his palm was still a foot away from her, a faint purple light suddenly shone from her body. With a “pa” sound, Xu Taichang was bounced away.
“Senior Brother!”
He Chongtian’s face was shocked as he instantly rushed forward to support his senior brother. What was that purple light that had just shot out from her body? Could it be another powerful magic treasure?
At this moment, Ruoshui once again raised the Wind-controlling Pearl and fled into the distance. He Chongtian hurriedly shouted, “Miss Ruoshui, stop! There’s a monster ahead that eats people!”
Ruoshui looked behind and saw that the two of them hadn’t caught up. He smiled and said, “Uncles, you guys are already a lot older. Are you ashamed to try to trick the children?”
Why did He Chongtian always feel familiar when he heard her words? In the blink of an eye, Ruoshui had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Xu Taichang’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Previously, the two of them were afraid of injuring each other, so they were cautious. But now, if they wanted to catch each other, they would have to use some methods.
“We must not let her bring her words back to Xuanqing Sect … chase after her!”
Xu Taichang’s eyes were cold and fierce. At this moment, it was obvious that he had made a decision. No matter what, he had to capture her back this time. Seeing that a cold killing intent was slowly rising from his body, He Chongtian couldn’t help but shiver.
Just like this, they chased after him for another day and night. At this moment, in a secluded valley deep within the outer mountain range of the Xiqi Mountains, they saw flowers blooming in the valley and flowing water flowing. Above a stream, there stood two figures. One was Yang Xiaoran, while the other was Xiao Chen with white hair rising in the wind.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the valley. Yang Xiaoran’s expression froze as he whispered, “Your Excellency, it seems that someone is coming from outside …”
Xiao Chen ignored it and said indifferently, “You go over there. You don’t have to worry about this side.”
“Yes … Then this subordinate will take his leave.” Yang Xiaoran cupped his hands and moved to the other side of the valley.
“Miss Ruoshui, Miss Ruoshui! Don’t run anymore. There really are Diabolism monsters ahead!”
He Chongtian and Xu Taichang are still chasing after me. In the front, Ruoshui is already sweating profusely. Seeing that the Spiritual Energy of the Wind Riding Pearl is about to be exhausted, he immediately cries out in his heart. Uncle Grandmaster, Second Martial Uncle, Third Martial Uncle, Fourth Martial Uncle, hurry up and save me. Ruoshui will never sneak down the mountain again.
At this moment, a hidden path suddenly appeared in front of him. It was unknown where it led to. Ruoshui panicked and couldn’t care less. He put away the Wind Riding Pearl and drilled into it. When he left, the scene in front of him suddenly became bright. It turned out to be a quiet valley that was flowing with clear streams and blooming flowers.
