As the Universe Turns - Chapter 723
Chapter 723 Westbound
“People from Lustless Heaven …”
Meng Xian’er’s expression froze. She immediately put away the Devil Scripture in her hand and said to the outside, “I understand.”
“Those two, wait in the side hall. That subordinate … will retreat first.”
Outside the secret hall, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Only when there was no sound did Meng Xian’er slowly get up and walk outside.
At this moment, the two people sitting in the side hall were Bai Luan and Zi Yuan. The two of them had been sitting since the morning until now, like two stone statues. They hadn’t moved at all.
Quite a few disciples of Dream Immortal Sect were peeking inside curiously. They whispered, “I heard that the two of them came from Lustless Heaven. They have been sitting there since the morning and haven’t moved at all. They haven’t touched the tea or snacks. Are they all from Lustless Heaven like this?”
“Lustless Heaven … Sigh, I seem to have heard that the Lord of Lustless Heaven was a former disciple of Xuanqing Sect. Why did he betray Xuanqing Sect?”
“You don’t know that? Even I heard about it. Ten years ago, the battle between the Heavenly Gates was incredibly tragic. I heard that many people died that time, and the Heavenly Gates didn’t dare to announce it to the public …”
“Yes, but what does this have to do with our Sect Master? Why do I always feel that the relationship between the Sect Master of Lustless Heaven and our Sect Master seems to be extraordinary …”
“Pfft! Who knows, our sect master is born so beautiful. Perhaps he likes our sect master …”
“Cough cough!”
“Ah … Sect, Sect Master, you’re here!”
Meng Xian’er had arrived near the side hall at some unknown time. He was dressed in white and was as beautiful as a Fairy. The disciples hurriedly moved aside, and a few girls stuck out their tongues and covered their mouths with a snicker.
Meng Xian’er ignored the new disciples and went straight to the hall. Seeing her enter, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan immediately stood up. The two of them did not say anything. Bai Luan took out a letter from Xiao Chen before leaving from his sleeve and handed it to her. “Excellency instructed the two of us to hand it over to the Sect Master.”
“Mm …”
Meng Xian’er nodded slightly and took the letter from her hand. She did not open it immediately and asked, “What else did he say?”
“Your Excellency only wants us to hand the letter over to the Sect Master.” Zi Yuan replied.
“I know.” Meng Xian’er nodded slightly and did not ask any further.
“If Sect Master has nothing else to do, the two of us will return and resume our orders.”
“Alright …”
It wasn’t until Bai Luan and Zi Yuan left that Yucha Xuanji came in from outside and saw the Sect Master sitting at the head of the hall silently pondering. This was the first time in recent days that she had seen Meng Xian’er’s expression so serious. She whispered, “Is there anything wrong with sending a letter from Lustless Heaven?”
Meng Xian’er was still silent. After a while, he said, “Bell Demon, what do you think of Motian Sect’s chances of winning if the four sects join forces, Xiaoyao Tower, Baiyun Pavilion, Dream Immortal Sect, and Lustless Heaven?”
“What … what?”
Hearing that, Yucha Xuanji was stunned. That day, the Sect Master had asked her to go to Lustless Heaven to deliver a jade bottle. Could it be that she was going to be enemies with Lustless Heaven in the blink of an eye? Along with the other three sects … But how powerful was Lustless Heaven? Thinking of this, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy pond, “Sect Master, are you planning to …”
“No …”
Meng Xian’er raised his hand and said indifferently, “Where do you think Lustless Heaven would be without Dream Immortal Sect?”
“If it wasn’t for Lustless Heaven …”
Yucha Xuanji pondered for a moment before he finally came to a realization. Motian Sect had always claimed to be the leader of Diabolism, and Patriarch Motian was an extremely famous person in Diabolism. It was only when Lustless Heaven appeared that Motian Sect’s status in Diabolism gradually began to waver …
“That’s right.”
Seeing that she had grasped the meaning behind it, Meng Xian’er said indifferently, “Patriarch Motian has always taken the lead. Now, he wants to join hands with the other three sects to eliminate Lustless Heaven in one fell swoop. In this way, it will be natural for him, Motian Sect, to become the head of Diabolism. But where will I, Dream Immortal Sect, stand at that time?”
After hearing this, Yucha Xuanji understood that Lustless Heaven’s existence seemed to be annexing various powers step by step, but in reality, it was preventing Motian Sect from becoming hegemon step by step. In addition, Venerable Lord Lustless had a friendship with the sect master in the past, so it was undoubtedly good for Dream Immortal Sect, not bad. Her previous worries were completely unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Yucha Xuanji immediately felt relieved and whispered, “Sect Leader, did Childe Xiao mention in the letter …”
Before she could finish her sentence, Meng Xian’er stretched out her hand and interrupted her. Then, she slowly placed the letter in her hand on the candle and lit it. Bit by bit, it burned to ashes, and the writing on it disappeared.
…
The moonlight was slightly cold. In the past few days, Xiao Chen had already dealt with almost all of Lustless Heaven’s matters. Only Wuwang Sea was left. As for the matter of the spiritual veins, You Chang and You Qin were unable to deal with it there, so he had to deal with it personally.
Ten years ago, various sects and sects were fighting over the Heavenly Book. Now that Xianyuan Five Realms had poured in a large amount of spiritual energy, the power of the earth veins was changing at any time. Everyone’s attention was once again shifted to the seven earth spirit veins in the mortal world.
Therefore, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to go to Wuwang Sea this time. On the contrary, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better. After all, during his absence, there was a mysterious Patriarch Motian peeping into the darkness besides those people from Tai Shi Dao Sect.
“Are you … ready?”
There was silence in the room, only Madam Xian Shu and him, and Hua Weiyang, who had been sleeping on the bed and had not woken up.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Hua Weiyang, who was still asleep. He slowly said, “During this period of my absence, everything will be handed over to Madam. With the Eye of the Frost Pool, no one will know if I put it on Wei Yang.”
As he spoke, he slowly took out the Spirit Vein Ring from his sleeve. The Spirit Vein Ring was about the size of a bracelet and emitted a faint glow. Although the Spirit Vein Ring was not big, it contained the Eye of the Frost Pool, something everyone wanted to obtain.
Because every Spiritual Vein Eye could not only draw this Earth Spiritual Vein, it also contained boundless power. Xiao Chen was unable to absorb the power of the Eye of the Frost Lake, so it was best to leave it in Lustless Heaven.
At this moment, he gently raised Hua Weiyang’s arm and slowly put the Frost Lake Ring on her hand. It was like a bracelet. However, after putting it on, the Frost Lake Ring disappeared, as if it had merged into her body.
“I didn’t expect her Profound Yin Physique to not reject the Frost Lake at all …”
Xiao Chen looked at Hua Weiyang who was asleep. Everyone wanted to obtain the Eye of Spirit Veins. Although he had obtained the Eye of Frost Lake, it would definitely cause endless trouble for Lustless Heaven. However, no one could guess that he had hidden the Eye of Frost Lake in Hua Weiyang’s body.
Deep into the night, Xiao Chen and Madam Xian Shu arrived at the Secret Devil Cliff behind Lustless palace and slowly said, “Tell them that I’m cultivating in secluded meditation at the Secret Devil Cliff while I’m away. No one should disturb me. In this way, those people in Patriarch Motian should be afraid …”
Madam Xian Shu nodded slightly, his eyebrows still slightly knitted. He wanted to say that Shen Cangming had an extremely powerful influence in the western Wuwang Sea, but in the end, he only said, “After you go over … be careful.”
