As the Universe Turns - Chapter 709
Chapter 709 Ambush
Seeing her anxious expression, Ying Hanzi said, “Miss Ruoshui, don’t be anxious. I found a deep valley beneath these mountain peaks. Cold air is constantly coming from below. Perhaps Miss’s friend went to this valley. We can go over and take a look.”
“Deep valley …”
Ruoshui thought for a moment and looked down at the mountain peak. He saw that the white mist was confused and he couldn’t see anything. Young Master Ying Hanzi looked at her and said, “Oh right, this place is extremely dangerous. Why would Miss Ruoshui come here?”
“Ah …”
Ruoshui raised his head and said, “I was separated from Senior Sister and the others …”
“I see …”
Ye Hanzi slightly stroked his beard and nodded. However, he was thinking in his heart, “Why didn’t the people from Xuanqing Sect say anything in advance when they came here?”
“Ah … Martial Uncle Yinghan, let’s go down quickly!” Ruoshui saw the suspicion on his face and hurriedly said.
“Mm …”
Ying Hanzi nodded slightly and did not think too much. He swept the dust and brought her and the disciples behind him down the mountain.
Along the way, he met a lot of people from different sects. The more this happened, the more nervous Ruoshui became. These people were all here for spirit veins, but there was only one spirit vein. How could they be divided? Could it be that we are going to fight …
At this moment, she only thought of two people in her heart. One was the senior brother she had never met before, and the other was the eldest brother she had just met. What would happen if the two of them fought over the spirit veins?
…
At this moment, under the four mountain peaks, the clouds dispersed, but it was a deep cold valley. Cold Qi continuously seeped out from the valley. Xiao Chen searched for this strange cold Qi and finally found a serene pond. The cold Qi came from the bottom of the pond.
When he was just up there, he discovered many people from the Righteous Dao Profound Sect. That was why he left Ruoshui’s side and arrived at the bottom of the valley alone.
“The Eye of the Frost Pool should be below the bottom of the pool.”
At this moment, he arrived near the pond and slowly squatted down. He was about to dig out his divine sense, but it was blocked by a mysterious force. Not only was his divine sense blocked, even he himself was unable to cross it. The entire pond seemed to have an invisible barrier around him, blocking everything outside.
“Since we’ve been waiting here for a long time, why don’t you show yourself?”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen stood up and said indifferently. Just as he finished speaking, several figures suddenly appeared around the serene pond.
However, looking at the murderous aura of these people, it seemed that they had already laid in ambush here. On the left were two old men, one wearing Qingyi and the other wearing Zi Yi. Both of their auras were very strong.
On the right, there was a red-clothed old man. His aura wasn’t weak either. The three of them had clearly reached the Harmonious Stage. Although they were only at the initial stage, they were definitely not comparable to ordinary cultivators. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to ambush Xiao Chen here.
“Sign up.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s head of white hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were indifferent. Even though he was facing three Harmonious Stage experts, his expression did not change at all.
“Humph!”
The two old men on the left snorted coldly. The old man dressed in Qingyi said, “Xiao Yichen, you captured my disciple Feng Wuyin ten years ago. Don’t you plan on letting go of his soul now?”
“So it’s from the Tai Shi Dao Sect …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still calm. Ten years ago, he had used the Soul-absorbing Green Lamp to capture Feng Wuyin’s soul. Even now, he still hadn’t let him go. At this moment, he looked at the red-clothed old man on the right and said, “Who is your Excellency?”
“As expected of Venerable Lord Lustless, he is indeed courageous.”
Right at this moment, another powerful male voice came from afar. Following that, a black wind covered the area and instantly transformed into three human silhouettes.
From left to right, the first person was dressed in a black robe. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of strange mist, and he couldn’t see his appearance clearly. The second person was dressed in an iron robe, and his face was also wearing a half-iron face. He looked exceptionally cold. The third person was a seductive woman wearing a light purple robe. It was as if he could hook a person’s soul away with a single glance.
These three were the Ghost-clothed Emissary, Iron-clothed Emissary, and Jade-clothed Emissary of the Lu Family. As for the fourth Emissary, Youyi Emissary, he was definitely nearby. He was only good at disguising himself invisibly, so he could not be seen from time to time.
At this moment, the red-clothed old man said coldly, “Your Excellency, have you forgotten that ten years ago, in Dingfeng City, we still had a debt to settle?”
“People from the Lu Clan.”
Xiao Chen immediately recalled that the Lu Clan had occupied more than half of Dingfeng City, and finally forced Lady Rakshasa to submit. At that time, he and Lady Rakshasa seemed to have killed several elders of the Five Elements Sect.
At this moment, the red-clothed old man was an elder of the Lu Clan. His cultivation was far higher than the elders of the Five Elements Sect at that time.
“No wonder …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still calm. Back then, he had suspected that the Lu Clan had a faint connection with the Tai Shi Dao Sect. Now, it seemed that this was true. Moreover, there must be an even more powerful ancient clan power hidden above the Lu Clan and the Tai Shi Dao Sect.
“However, just the few of you want to take me down. Have you stayed in the Profound Realm for too long? Do you think that after ten thousand years, there will be no one outside?”
The Iron-clothed Envoy replied, “With Venerable Lord Lustless’s cultivation, how dare we underestimate him? Therefore, for the sake of caution, we invited another person.”
Just as he finished speaking, a strange movement suddenly came from above the valley. Immediately after, the clouds and mist in the air dispersed, and the people from various sects and sects had already come down.
When they saw this scene in front of them, many people in the various sects were shocked. First, because the auras of the people below were so strong that they almost suffocated them. Second, they recognized that the white-haired man was actually Xiao Chen.
“Yes … it’s him!”
At this moment, everyone’s faces turned deathly pale. They never thought that they would see him here. Of course, many of them did not know that the current Lord of Xianyuan Five Realms, who only covered the sky with his hand in Lustless Heaven, was actually the same person ten years ago.
“Big brother!”
Ruoshui also saw it. At this moment, he did not hesitate at all. He flew to his side in an instant. Looking at the few people with high cultivation, he couldn’t help but suffocate. Could it be that these people were all trying to kill him? Also, why did those people call him the devil just now? Why are they all so surprised to see him now …
“What are you doing here?” Xiao Chen glanced at her and said indifferently.
“I…”
Ruoshui raised his head. At this moment, his face was still filled with shock. No matter how stupid she was, she could guess that this person in front of her was the senior apprentice-brother that she had never met before.
“I’m so stupid. How can I not find out after so long …”
Ruoshui stared at him blankly. Thinking back to the past few days, she had no idea that the person beside her was the person she was looking for. No wonder, no wonder she had a special feeling when she first saw him. No matter how cold he was, he still had a kind feeling …
At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly surged with black clouds. A terrifying demonic aura came from within the black clouds. At this moment, even the entire valley began to tremble. Under such a terrifying aura, everyone seemed to be suffocating.
