As the Universe Turns - Chapter 730
Chapter 730 The Mysterious Two Elders
Evidently, this aura was not from the Emperor of Heaven, but someone else. How could the Emperor of Heaven be the only person in such a large Imperial City?
Meng Xian’er and Xiao Chen had long thought that there must still be one or two old monsters with unfathomable cultivation in the Imperial City. Normally, they would not come out. Even during the chaos in the Martial Palace three days ago, they did not appear. This time, they chased after them for a map.
Wuwang Sea’s map was indeed extremely precious, but no matter how precious it was, it was still not so precious. There was only one reason why two peerless experts were needed to retrieve it. This map of Imperial City definitely contained profound mysteries. It was not just a map. Otherwise, the two old men who were chasing after it would not be so nervous.
The aura was getting closer and closer, but Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged. According to the instructions on the map, this was already the border area of the Imperial City. At most, a thousand miles away, he would completely leave the Imperial City.
“If we are chased by them like this, even if we leave the Imperial City, our whereabouts will definitely be exposed. In order to avoid alarming Insatiable Azure Sea, I will stay behind to defend against them for a while. Fairy, take the map and continue forward.”
Xiao Chen looked at the rising clouds behind him, his expression still the same as before as he said indifferently.
“I’m afraid the two of them have extremely high cultivation bases. Are you sure one of them can handle it?” Meng Xian’er frowned and looked at him.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and handed her the map scroll in his hand. He did not say anything, and his gaze was still fixed on the distant horizon. He saw two golden sword lights approaching from within the ten thousand kilometer cloud.
“Alright … you be careful.”
Meng Xian’er understood her intentions and didn’t say anything else. She took the scroll in his hand and disappeared into the depths of the valley.
In the blink of an eye, the two sword lights were getting closer and closer. In the end, they turned into two figures and landed in front of the valley. However, they were two white-haired old men.
The person on the left was dressed in a stone-green Taoist robe. He should be a cultivator. The person on the right was dressed in a fiery red brocade dress. His figure was rather sturdy, and he looked more like a cultivator of both Immortal and Martial Arts.
“It should have been near here just now. Why did the aura disappear?”
Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er slowly walked into the valley. Their expressions were solemn and they were extremely vigilant. Although Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er entered the Heavenly Martial Palace after disguising themselves that day, their auras remained in the Imperial City. As a result, they were captured by the two of them, and they followed them all the way here.
“Are you two looking for me?”
Suddenly, a faint male voice came from not far away. Both of them were slightly shocked. They looked over and saw a white-haired man standing under a large tree. Naturally, it was Xiao Chen.
“You …”
The two’s eyes narrowed. The first time they met, they felt an extremely cold chill from each other’s body. At the same time, they also felt a sense of familiarity. This familiar feeling made them feel extremely uncomfortable, extremely depressed, and even suffocating. But where did this sense of familiarity come from?
Suddenly, they remembered that it was the person they had met back then, the person who created the Insatiable Azure Sea. There was a similar or even identical feeling in the two of them, that was, the feeling of being condescending and looking down on all living beings.
Especially at this moment, that kind of calm gaze, if it wasn’t for the leader of one side, it was impossible for him to have such a gaze. Even the Emperor of Heaven wouldn’t have such a gaze.
This person in front of him was actually the leader of a side.
In a short moment, a few layers of coldness had already appeared on their backs. Finally, the old man dressed in fiery red brocade clothes on the right stared at Xiao Chen and said, “The thing you are carrying is from the Imperial City. I hope that you can return it to me …”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were faint and his hands were still behind his back. At this moment, he was even more certain that the map scroll was not just a map of Wuwang Sea. It must contain some mysteries. Otherwise, the two of them would not be so nervous at this moment.
Right at this moment, Daoist Qingyi’s expression changed slightly. At this moment, he seemed to have finally discovered something. He looked towards the depths of the valley and said, “Previously, there were two of them. Now, there’s only one of them. The thing is on the other person’s body. Senior Brother, stay here and I’ll go chase after the person in front!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a seal on his hand and was about to use the Wind Imperial Technique to chase after him. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and a palm force surged out. He rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and formed a dragon shadow. With a “boom” sound, he forcefully left Daoist Qingyi behind.
The two of them were slightly shocked. At this moment, they realized that the cultivation of this young man in front of them was probably not inferior to theirs at all. His cultivation was even higher than theirs. Thinking of this, the two of them felt as if they had fallen into a cold lake. When did Wuwang Sea produce such a powerful person?
“Senior Brother, join forces with us to attack the left and right!”
Even though he knew that he had encountered a formidable person this time, Daoist Qingyi quickly calmed down. Without hesitation, he immediately circulated the Genuine energy, enveloped in a layer of jade, and attacked.
The red-clothed old man also reacted. He condensed his Astral Qi and waved his palm. Suddenly, red sword light flew out and slashed straight at Xiao Chen.
The attacks of the two of them were as fierce as a storm, but Xiao Chen’s movements were as fast as lightning. His figure was unpredictable, and he was able to fight against two mysterious old men with ease.
After half an incense stick of time, Xiao Chen could only see the sunset in the horizon. When Xiao Chen could not feel Meng Xian’er’s aura, he knew that she had already left the realm. The two of them in front of him would probably no longer be able to trace her aura.
Suddenly, he waved his palms and circulated the Yin and Yang Qi in his body. The red leaves on the ground immediately danced and enveloped the two old men.
“Senior Brother … be careful!”
Seeing the red leaves covering the sky, Daoist Qingyi struck out with his palm and scattered a little. However, most of the red leaves still enveloped the two of them.
Following that, Xiao Chen’s figure flickered. His hands were as fast as lightning as lightning, and he hurriedly sent several purple seals towards the two of them. In a short moment, they were actually imprisoned inside.
“Shit …”
The two of them thought to themselves that something was wrong. They wanted to rush out, but they were imprisoned inside by the layers of imprisonment seals. It would be difficult for them to get out for a while.
At this time, the setting sun was setting, and the sunset was tens of thousands of kilometers long, reflecting the entire land to a bright red color.
Xiao Chen slowly arrived under a tree. He casually picked up a red flower that looked like fire from the tree and said indifferently, “The scenery is so beautiful. Seniors, why don’t you temporarily let go of your killing intent and enjoy it here …”
With that, he waved his hand, leaving behind only the red flower that spun and danced towards the two people behind him. He had already taken a blink of an eye and disappeared a thousand kilometers away.
The red flower slowly flew in front of the two of them. The red-clothed old man crushed it into pieces and stared in the direction where Xiao Chen disappeared. “The auras of the two of them have disappeared. I’m afraid it will be difficult to trace them again this time …”
Old man Qingyi frowned and remained silent. Who exactly was this capable person? Judging from his gaze, he should also be the leader of one side, but who else could Wuwang Sea be with these forces? Could it be someone from the Deep Sea Region of Wuwang Sea …
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but tremble deeply.
…
In the evening breeze, leaves fell one after another, and the sky gradually darkened. On the edge of a serene lake, Meng Xian’er lowered his head and stared at the scroll without saying a word. Moon shone on her face, and it was flawlessly beautiful.
Suddenly, a figure landed nearby. Naturally, Xiao Chen wouldn’t have anyone else. Meng Xian’er raised her head and looked at him. “Did you shake off the two people behind her?”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. As he walked over, he saw her brows slightly knitted and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Xian’er still frowned. After a while, she slowly picked up the map scroll in her hand and said, “I suspect that there is something wrong with this map …”
“What’s the problem?”
Xiao Chen’s expression was still calm. As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of her.
Meng Xian’er frowned and said, “If we follow the map, 10,000 kilometers ahead, we should be at one of the Four Little Seas’ Prison Seas, but in reality, there seems to be the Soul Sucking Palace in front of us …”
“This isn’t simple. If you look ahead, you’ll know.”
Xiao Chen looked at the map in her hand and said indifferently. His gaze landed on the words “Soul Sucking Palace”.
