As the Universe Turns - Chapter 714
Chapter 714 Deep In The Pond
“Junior Sister Qianyu …”
Lou Qingshan’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stood in front of Zhao Ying’er and said anxiously, “Junior Sister Qianyu, you must not listen to this traitor of the Devil Religion. It was indeed my fault for what happened back then, but it is definitely not what this traitor said …”
“Zheng!”
There was no explanation. The sword light of the Autumn Water Sword instantly became even colder. Qianyu Nichang’s eyes were as cold as an iceberg, causing one to tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, Zhao Ying’er walked up and looked at her. “So what? I wanted to say, Qianyu Nichang, you only cared about him and never cared about other people’s lives. Back then, I made Yang Xiaoran deliberately not teach him cultivation techniques, but so what? You want to kill me? Well, then you’ll kill me here today!”
“Junior Sister!”
Lou Qingshan’s expression suddenly changed. Suddenly, the Autumn Water Sword seemed to stir up a huge wave as it ferociously rushed over. Lou Qingshan’s face was deathly pale, and he hurriedly raised his palms, fiercely urging all of the Genuine energy in his body to use his lifetime’s strength to receive this sword strike.
“Zheng!”
Lou Qingshan’s entire body was shaken to the point that he kept retreating. Blood oozed out of his palms. Even if he was given another three hundred years of cultivation, he would probably not be able to withstand the Autumn Water Sword.
Seeing that it was going to be a disaster, Xia Guyun, Leng Qianxue, and the others’ expressions changed. “Junior Sister Qianyu, stop!”
However, at this moment, Qianyu Nichang’s eyes were cold. It was as if he was going to kill those two people. Fu Ling finally woke up and rushed over to grab her. “Junior Sister Qianyu … please don’t!”
Everyone in the distance held their breath. If she really killed Lou Qingshan and Zhao Ying’er here today, regardless of whether she had extraordinary talent or the Three Flowers Gathering Summit, her cultivation would be crippled, imprisoned for a hundred years, and her future would be ruined.
Amidst the gale, the Autumn Water Sword finally stopped. However, seeing the cold light on the sword, Lou Qingshan’s face was already extremely pale. Blood continuously dripped from his palms. Zhao Ying’er was hiding behind him, and her face had already lost its color. Just now, under the envelopment of the sword energy, she thought that she was really dead. She was so scared that she could not say a word.
“Junior Sister Qianyu …”
Fu Ling’s eyes were gradually blown red by the wind. His mind couldn’t help but recall the youth who had been chased in by someone at the Xuan Qing Ceremony back then. At that time, he thought that he was just a disciple of Pingyang Peak who was ignorant and chased after and played at the ceremony. Now, it seemed that he was being bullied …
Suddenly, she remembered that time when she went to the 100,000 dense forest. Xiao Chen was alone in the other cave to heal his injuries, and then left alone. If what Yang Xiaoran said was true, how many chances did he have to kill Lou Qingshan and Zhao Ying’er? However, he did not. He even saved everyone in the 100,000 dense forest …
The wind blew coldly. Not a single person spoke in the entire valley. Everyone was silent. The atmosphere had become so heavy at an unknown time.
Qianyu Nichang withdrew his Autumn Water Sword. He no longer looked at the two of them, She slowly turned her head and looked at the serene pond. She had never thought that senior brother would actually suffer so much grievances back then. How could he be like her? Whether it was senior brother, senior sister, or elder, they all welcomed her with smiles. It was as if she was held in the palm of everyone’s hand, while he, he was the ashen-faced youth …
Now that he had become like this, who was to blame, or did he make a single mistake? Everyone in the world had done it before …
Qianyu Nichang’s gaze gradually became somewhat confused. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly covered her left chest and let out a muffled snort. A moment of pallor flashed across her face.
“Junior Sister Qianyu, what’s wrong?”
Fu Ling sensed something was amiss and walked up. Qianyu Nichang quickly recovered. He slowly put his hand down from his chest and looked at the bottomless pond. “I’m worried that something might happen to Ruoshui. She seemed to have been injured by that madman …” he said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she leapt into the air and landed on the serene pond. However, the Spiritual Bloodline Force outside might not be able to break through forcefully even if she was alone. Only when the Spiritual Bloodline Force dissipated on its own like before would the crowd be able to enter.
…
The pond water was bottomless. A hundred feet down, the light above could no longer reach it. It could only rely on the Spiritual Energy in the pond water to emit a faint light that illuminated the surroundings.
It turned out that there was something else underneath this pool of water. It was like the bottom of the sea. It was boundless. If it wasn’t for the faint light emitted by these Spiritual Bloodline Force, it would be extremely easy to get lost in the water. Moreover, this pool of water was ice-cold to the point of freezing. However, it hadn’t frozen yet. If someone with a slightly shallow cultivation came down, they would probably die of cold under the water in a short period of time.
“Big brother, big brother …”
Xiao Chen continued to dive down Spiritual Bloodline Force, wanting to find the Eye of the Frost Pool. However, at this moment, a faint voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw that Ruoshui had also jumped down at some unknown time.
However, seeing her deathly pale complexion and the injuries she had sustained earlier, Xiao Chen was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the cold at the bottom of the pond. He kicked his feet in the water and immediately swam up, pulling her back. He sent a divine message, “Why are you following me?”
“I, I …”
Ruoshui was speechless, so he could only send a divine message, “I was afraid that you would be in danger down there alone, so … so … so cold, big brother, it’s so cold down there, are you cold?”
Xiao Chen did not say anything. At this moment, he was still able to protect his body with the power of the Nine Suns from the cold. However, this young girl probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. Genuine energy condensed in his palm and pressed down on her left shoulder. A power of the Nine Suns instantly flowed through her body.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Chen’s eyebrows suddenly froze. It was as if he had sensed something strange in the girl’s body. The space between his eyebrows was tightly locked. Ruoshui saw him suddenly frown and asked, “Big brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen withdrew his palm and looked at her, “Are you feeling better?”
“Mm-hmm!”
Ruoshui kept nodding in the water. Her appearance was very cute and obedient. Xiao Chen knew that she would not go up alone at this time. He said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them continued to dive down to the bottom of the pond. The further they descended, the more spacious the surroundings became, and the colder the pond water became. Even though Ruoshui had the protection of Xiao Chen’s Nine Suns Crossing Power, his face slowly turned pale again.
After an unknown amount of time, Spiritual Bloodline Force was swimming all over the place in the water, With a faint light, Xiao Chen was still unable to find the exact location of the Eye of the Frost Pool. The pool of water was getting colder and colder. If they continued searching aimlessly, the two of them wouldn’t be able to hold on to their water-opening techniques. Even the coldness of the pool of water would eventually freeze the two of them into two pieces of ice and remain in the depths of the pool forever.
