As the Universe Turns - Chapter 713
Chapter 713 Clue To The Past
Xiao Chen’s eyes were calm as he slowly walked up to the sword in Qianyu Nichang’s hand and said indifferently, “Why, it’s been so long. Now that we meet, is Junior Sister going to point the sword at Senior Brother?”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang’s sword was still cold, and his eyes were also so cold. Everyone in the distance held their breaths and remained silent. How could they explain Xuanqing Sect’s matter clearly?
“Senior apprentice-brother, senior apprentice-sister … you, you don’t have to do this …”
Ruoshui’s voice was choking, and her eyes turned red. How could she know what had happened back then? How could she know the twists and turns inside? It was only on her sixteenth birthday that she accidentally heard that she had a senior brother. Finally, she realized why Master always stood alone at midnight facing the moon and Lonely Shadow for a long time.
Ever since then, she couldn’t rest in her heart anymore. She had to find that senior brother from back then. It had been two years since she found him. Now that she had finally found him, how could she bear to see that senior brother and senior sisters were fighting against each other?
The wind blew coldly through the valley. Everyone was silent. Fu Ling stared blankly at the white-haired man not far away. The words “Junior Brother Xiao” from before could only echo in his heart over and over again. The person in front of him was the Lord of Lustless Heaven.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from outside the valley. That person was wearing a black robe. Looking at his agility when he flew over, he thought that his compulsory cultivation would not be too low. It was precisely Yang Xiaoran.
“Yang … Yang Xiaoran!”
Seeing this person appear, Zhao Ying’er instantly felt as if she had seen a ghost. Even after so many years, how could she not remember this person in front of her? In the past, she had bowed in front of her, but now, could it be that she had also entered Lustless Heaven? However, how could he have entered Lustless Heaven?
Back then, she still remembered the incident at Pingyang Peak clearly. This matter involved too much. She, her younger brother, Zhao Wangsun, and her senior brother, Lou Qingshan, had always kept this matter in their hearts. They didn’t dare to tell anyone about it. Even in the first few years, they were uneasy about sleeping. They were afraid that if they fell asleep, they would talk in their dreams and let others hear them.
At this moment, Lou Qingshan’s expression had also changed. He had never expected that this person would actually be alive. Wasn’t that what happened back then … Thinking of this, his entire face immediately turned extremely pale as if he had fallen into a cold pond.
Yang Xiaoran naturally saw the two of them as well, but he ignored them at this moment and went straight to Xiao Chen’s side. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Excellency.”
“Yes, it’s you …”
Ruoshui’s face was slightly shocked. Naturally, she recognized him. That night, she followed Xue Yizi and the others into Mang Yin Mountain and saw everything on the summit. However, she did not expect that this person, whom so many people were afraid of, would actually address Senior Brother as Excellency …
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and asked, “Is everything ready outside?”
“Go back to Excellency. Everything is ready. Those people won’t be able to enter for the time being” Yang Xiaoran whispered. As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the nearby Righteous Sects.
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen stopped talking and suddenly jumped backwards. With a “pu” sound, he drilled into the deep pond. This time, it came too quickly. Everyone in the distance was shocked. Ruoshui’s face was also shocked, “Big brother!” Before he could finish his sentence, he also jumped into the deep pond.
“Junior Sister!”
This time, Fu Ling and the others were shocked and wanted to chase after him. However, after Xiao Chen and Ruoshui jumped into the deep pond, a layer of mysterious energy suddenly appeared around the pond, blocking everyone out and making it difficult for them to re-enter.
Yang Xiaoran glanced at the people from the various sects in the distance and smiled faintly, “If you can’t enter, you can’t enter. Everyone, stay outside. Don’t think of anything else …”
The people of the various sects looked towards the serene pond and thought to themselves that the layer outside the pond must be Spiritual Bloodline Force. They only needed to wait for the people from their own sects who were still outside to come in and join forces with everyone else. It would not be difficult for them to unlock this layer of power.
Just as the elders of the various sects were thinking about this, a lot of people suddenly flew in from outside. They were disciples of the various sects in charge of communicating. Looking at the panicked expressions of these people, they thought that something must have happened outside.
“Why are you panicking?”
A Old man Qingyi immediately asked. However, when he saw those people landing in the valley, he immediately found the elders of his sect and whispered a few words in his ear. Immediately after, he saw the expressions of the elders of the various sects change drastically as they looked at Yang Xiaoran. There was anger and surprise in their eyes.
So this time, There were quite a few people who came to the Xiqi Mountains, However, because the inner mountain was dangerous and unpredictable, each sect had an elder and a few disciples go first. After confirming that there were no mistakes inside, they notified the people outside. Unexpectedly, Lustless Heaven had already asked the various sects in Diabolism to block all of their people outside. Now, almost no one from the various sects could come in to support them.
Without these people to come in and disturb Spiritual Bloodline Force, it would naturally be best for Xiao Chen to obtain the Eye of the Frost Pool. If these people were allowed to come in, there would probably be a change at that time.
Yang Xiaoran smiled faintly and then turned to look at Xuanqing Sect. When he touched his two smiling gazes, Lou Qingshan was calm, but Zhao Ying’er’s expression had completely changed.
Yang Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “What’s wrong? It’s Junior Sister Zhao now … Oh no, it’s Junior Sister Zhao. Don’t you remember me anymore? And Senior Brother Lou, long time no see …”
Back then, he was only a small disciple of Pingyang Peak. In front of these two, he had to bow as much as he wanted. He was afraid that he would say something wrong. Otherwise, he would be in danger of being killed.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, Leng Qianxue’s gaze suddenly turned cold. She looked at Lou Qingshan and Zhao Ying’er and said, “How do you know people from Lustless Heaven? Why does he call you so?”
This time, Lou Qingshan’s expression gradually became somewhat ugly. Qianyu Nichang looked at Yang Xiaoran and said coldly, “You were the disciple who defected from Pingyang Peak back then. At the same time, you were also his senior apprentice-brother, weren’t you?”
Hearing this, the people from the various sects and sects in the distance were all dumbfounded. Even Xuanqing Sect, Xia Guyun, and the others did not know about Fu Ling’s past. How could outsiders like them know about it?
Yang Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. In the past, in Pingyang Peak, I was Excellency’s senior apprentice-brother.”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang seemed to have guessed something, and his gaze turned even colder. “Tell me, why did you run away from Pingyang Peak …”
“This …”
Yang Xiaoran smiled faintly and slowly looked at Lou Qingshan and Zhao Ying’er, saying, “I’m afraid I’ll have to start with Senior Brother Lou and Senior Sister Zhao …”
“Shut up! You traitor, don’t talk nonsense here!”
Lou Qingshan’s gaze turned cold, and with a “zheng” sound, he took out an immortal sword that emitted a burst of cold light.
“Nonsense?”
Yang Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “Since it’s nonsense, why is Senior Brother Lou so nervous … ah, I almost forgot that Senior Brother Lou personally asked me to find an opportunity to get rid of Excellency that night …”
Everyone in the valley trembled slightly as soon as these words were spoken. Even if they didn’t know what had happened in Xiao Chen that year, they knew what Xuanqing Sect meant when they heard what he said.
Zhao Ying’er’s expression changed once more. He pointed his sword at Yang Xiaoran and said, “Yang Xiaoran! Stop talking nonsense here. That time, it was clearly Xiao Yichen who injured my younger brother with the Qi Drawing Art! Everyone witnessed it at that time!”
“Oh, right … I forgot to tell Senior Sister Zhao.”
Yang Xiaoran smiled and looked at her. “Your brother insisted that I give him the Qi Drawing Art, I also thought that this method was vicious when I wanted to shatter Excellency’s meridians and make him a cripple. Unfortunately, with Senior Sister and Senior Brother Lou exerting pressure, I had no choice but to do the same. However, in the end, I didn’t know how Excellency managed to counter-injure your brother and the Excellency Ceremony. I didn’t expect that Xuan Qing would end up on top … ”
Everyone in the valley was shocked. Let’s not talk about Zhao Ying’er, but Lou Qingshan was a direct disciple of Excellency Xuanyang. He usually looked righteous and glorious. In secret, how could he do such a despicable and vicious thing!
Zhao Ying’er’s expression had already changed drastically. “Yang Xiaoran, don’t you stay here” Before she could finish speaking, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of her. It was actually Qianyu Nichang’s Autumn Water Sword.
“Tell me, was what he just said true …”
At this moment, the entire valley suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They had never seen Qianyu Nichang’s ice-cold and terrifying appearance before, especially those two gazes. It was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss with just a single glance.
