As the Universe Turns - Chapter 717
Chapter 717 Eye of the Cold Pool
“This subordinate is too late. Please forgive me, Excellency.”
Bai Luan and Zi Yuan immediately approached. Xiao Chen looked at the unconscious Ruoshui and handed her to Bai Luan. “She suffocated.”
“She …”
Bai Luan took the unconscious Ruoshui. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already turned around and swam towards the Eye of the Frost Pool. Zi Yuan’s face was slightly shocked, “Your Excellency!” Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately brought his men along with him.
Bai Luan hugged the unconscious Ruoshui and said, “Girl, girl.” He shouted twice in a row, but there was no response. He could only point his fingers at her “human acupoint” and then pour Yuan Qi into her body.
On the other side, Xiao Chen arrived at the bottom of the pond. The Eye of the Frost Pond hadn’t completely disappeared, and the bone-chilling cold was still bone-chilling.
“Your Excellency!”
Zi Yuan had already brought her men to chase after her. She knew clearly how terrifying the Eye of the Frost Pool was. If she was careless, no matter how high her cultivation was, she would definitely die from the bone-chilling cold.
“Watch this place carefully. I’ll go down and get the Eye of the Frost Pool.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say much. After he finished speaking, he immediately swam towards the Eye of the Frost Pool. At this moment, he actually wanted to withstand the bone-chilling cold and personally retrieve the Eye of the Frost Pool.
“Your Excellency!”
Zi Yuan and the others were shocked. How could they not know? Because of the accident just now, the Eye of the Frost Pool was no longer bound by the Spirit Vein Ring. Someone had to personally go down and use divine abilities to introduce it into the Spirit Vein Ring.
But how could this Earth Spiritual Bloodline Force be so idle? How could a human be able to control it? If something went wrong, no matter how high the person’s cultivation was, he would definitely end up in ashes.
How could Zi Yuan and the others not be shocked? They would rather let the Eye of the Frost Lake disappear than spend a few more years searching around instead of letting Xiao Chen risk his life at this moment.
However, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind and headed straight for the Eye of the Frost Pool. Layers of bone-chilling cold swept over him, immediately condensing a layer of ice on his body.
When he arrived near the Eye of the Frost Pool, Xiao Chen’s entire body was frozen. However, he did not hesitate at all. The profound energy in his palm moved toward the Eye of the Frost Pool, and he used all of his divine abilities to draw the Eye of the Frost Pool towards the Spirit Vein Ring.
At this moment, the power of the earth veins flowed, causing the entire serene pond to violently shake. It was like a volcano erupting from the seabed. A terrifying force spread out layer upon layer, destroying everything nearby. Whether it was the huge rocks at the bottom of the pond or the water monster corpses that had just frozen into ice sculptures, they all turned into powder in an instant.
Zi Yuan and the others were shocked. He hurriedly stood around and worked together to stabilize this earth vein force. Only then did the tremors in the vicinity slowly subside. However, Xiao Chen’s entire body was already enveloped in bone-chilling cold. Layers after layers of ice covered his body. The twenty-four people from Night Shade were all shocked. How could he withstand this bone-chilling cold if he wasn’t a Profound Yin body? In a short while, if he still couldn’t subdue the Eye of the Frost Pool, he would undoubtedly die!
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already circulated the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique to its limit. If it wasn’t for the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique protecting his body, how could he withstand such a bone-corroding cold?
However, even so, the bone-chilling ice gradually spread from his legs to his waist and abdomen, then to his chest, then to his arms and neck …
Seeing that his entire body was about to be devoured by the bone-chilling cold, Zi Yuan Bai Luan and the others’ expressions changed drastically. “Please, Excellency, come back quickly!”
Xiao Chen ignored him. At this moment, he was as stubborn as before. At the last moment, Inner Essence Fortune finally led the Eye of the Frost Pool into the ring of Spirit Meridians. However, at this moment, the bone-chilling cold completely devoured him, turning him into an ice sculpture and slowly sinking into the bottom of the pond.
“Your Excellency!”
Bai Luan Zi Yuan and the others swim over quickly. The twenty-four of them work together and place their palms on the ice. Finally, the ice is shattered. After Xiao Chen breaks through the ice, his expression remains unchanged, “I’m fine.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and retrieved the ring of cold water.
Even though the Eye of the Frost Pool had already been stored in the Spirit Vein Ring, Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, and the others were still a little scared. Even though their blades had been stained with countless amounts of blood, the scene just now was really dangerous and dangerous. Even they still had some lingering fear in their hearts.
“Now … there is already a Frost Lake.”
Xiao Chen’s voice was faint as he stared at the ring of spiritual veins in his hand. Over the years, he seemed to have grown accustomed to no joy or sorrow. Even though he had obtained the Eye of the Frost Pool, he could not see any joy on his face.
He slowly put the Spirit Vein Ring into his sleeve and looked at Ruoshui, who was hugged by Bai Luan. Seeing that she was still unconscious, he asked, “How is she?”
“Your Excellency, this subordinate has already poured Yuan Qi into her, so it will be fine for the time being.”
“Mm … give her to me.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and carried Ruoshui over from Bai Luan’s hand. Looking at the unconscious girl, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes.
“Your Excellency, do you want to go up now?” Bai Luan asked softly when she saw that he had suddenly fallen into silence.
“Mm … Also, I want you to investigate where these creatures came from.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he looked at the broken corpses of the water monsters not far away. At this moment, an extremely cold gaze flashed in his eyes.
Even the twenty-four people in Night Shade couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Bai Luan cupped his hands and said, “Yes, this subordinate will definitely investigate the source of these creatures in Excellency as soon as possible.”
“Let’s go, go up.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He swiftly swam up the pond with Ruoshui in his arms. At this moment, the entire valley had already been thrown into chaos due to the violent shocks just now. Everyone looked vigilantly at the serene pond, but none of them dared to approach the edge of the pond.
Finally, the calm water began to surge again. Some of the people who were slightly closer subconsciously retreated backwards. Then, a figure flew out of the water, and Xiao Chen jumped out of the water with Ruoshui in his arms.
Immediately after, there were twenty-four people from Night Shade. At this moment, the twenty-four people were already covered. After coming up, they instantly disappeared from the valley.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched Xiao Chen emerge from the pond. Now, no one dared to approach the nearby pond. At this moment, the gazes of Xuanqing Sect and Ruoshui were also fixed on him and Ruoshui.
“Ruoshui …”
Fu Ling’s face was slightly worried. If it was in the past, she would not have been worried about anything. Even though Junior Brother Xiao had left Xuanqing Sect in the past, she would still protect them. But now … this cold and heartless man with countless hands stained with blood, even if she saw him, she would still feel a little scared.
Seeing him slowly walk over, Zhao Ying’er and Lou Qingshan trembled slightly. Xia Guyun and Leng Qianxue remained nervous, while Lou Qingshan subconsciously stood in front of Zhao Ying’er, protecting her and slowly retreating backwards.
However, Xiao Chen’s gaze had never been on them. There was only one person in his eyes. At this moment, Qianyu Nichang was also looking at him. He was slowly walking towards him.
