As the Universe Turns - Chapter 755
Chapter 755 The Chaos in the Capital
Looking at the place where the dark clouds gathered, Xiao Chen remained indifferent. Whether the rumors were true or false, whether they were demons or deities, none of this had anything to do with him. His sole purpose was the Eye of Spirit Veins.
Meng Xian’er looked at his cold and stern face. At this moment, she was actually curious. She naturally knew about the incident ten years ago. The grudge between him and Shen Cangming was really hard to explain. The two of them happened to be from the same sect. I wonder what would happen if they met again.
Of course, she was only curious, not concerned.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them continued to walk towards the capital. By the second day, they could already see the capital city in Wuwang Sea from afar. Only a few dozen kilometers away, they were already heavily guarded. Neither of them could enter. Above the entire city, dark clouds covered the sky, and the city was on the verge of collapse.
Such a tense atmosphere, This caused the cultivators in the city to feel extremely oppressed and suffocated. Meng Xian’er and Xiao Chen were standing on a cliff dozens of kilometers away from the city. With their abilities, they could enter this place even if they were heavily guarded. However, the situation did not seem to be right at the moment, so they should not act rashly until they were certain where the Spiritual Vein Eye was.
After a long time, Meng Xian’er asked, “How is it? Have you sensed where the Eye of Spirit Veins is?”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his divine sense. He looked at the capital city shrouded in dark clouds and said, “The Eye of Spirit Veins should be in the capital, but the exact location is still unknown.”
The entire King of Lei Xia was actually very big, and it was definitely not the corner they saw in front of them. After a while, Meng Xian’er looked at him and said, “Then, do you want to go in?”
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He moved and flew down the cliff. Meng Xian’er didn’t hesitate and immediately followed. Even though there were many restrictions nearby and the security was tight, the two of them weren’t ordinary people. It wouldn’t be difficult for them to sneak in.
About half an hour later, the two of them had already sneaked into the city, and the security in the city was even heavier. The two of them could only pick out some hidden places to avoid being discovered.
Xiao Chen followed his senses towards the Eye of Spirit Veins and finally arrived near the palace. He saw a magnificent building in front of him. It was the palace of the Kingdom of Lei Xia, and the aura of the Eye of Spirit Veins he sensed came from behind the palace.
Meng Xian’er had already guessed that the Eye of Spirit Veins was not only in the Kingdom of Lei Xia, but also near the palace. This time, it was indeed troublesome. She asked, “Did you already sense it?”
Xiao Chen slowly loosened his eyebrows and looked at the dense forest behind the palace. “The aura of the Eye of Spirit Veins came from that direction,” he said.
“Over there …”
Meng Xian’er also looked towards the dense forest behind the palace. Fortunately, it was outside the palace. If it was inside the palace, she would probably not be able to get it anymore. However, even if it was behind the palace, it was not easy to get it now.
“Wait …”
Suddenly, Meng Xian’er’s expression became serious. It was as if she had discovered something at this moment. In the next moment, the place where the two of them were was suddenly shaking. The shaking came from the southeast.
“What’s going on?”
Meng Xian’er stood up and looked towards the southeast, only to see a large amount of dark clouds covering the capital. The layers of restrictions that were originally set outside the capital were actually broken one layer at a time.
Very quickly, the cultivators in the city noticed that something was amiss and headed towards the southeast. Even in the palace, there were quite a few cultivators heading towards that direction.
“Outsiders … Outsiders are here!”
Seeing the dark clouds outside the city quickly sweeping over, many people fell into panic. At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared above the clouds. Although it was an illusion that appeared a hundred feet long, its aura was suffocating.
It was a cold man. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was deathly lifeless. There was an extremely heavy evil aura on his body. When the cultivators in the city saw this person, their faces became even colorless.
“Everyone in the city, listen up. If there are more rebels, the moment the city is destroyed, it will be the moment of desperation!”
A frightening cold voice echoed throughout the city. Hearing this, everyone was even more frightened. This person was the king of an alien race, and no one could withstand the aura of death on his body.
“Don’t be so arrogant!”
Suddenly, many cultivators flew over, and the palace sent out experts to support them. But very quickly, not only from the southeast, but also from the other directions, outsiders also attacked.
Inside the palace and above the main hall, King Lei Xia frowned and his hands trembled slightly. There was an extremely powerful Forbidden Array in Lei Xia, but for some unknown reason, there were some problems with this Forbidden Array that allowed outsiders to take advantage of. The grudges between the outsiders and Lei Xia were already unclear.
Outside, it was getting more and more chaotic, but for Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er, it was the best thing to do. Right now, no one was paying attention to them anymore. It was time to take advantage of the chaos to go to the dense forest behind the palace.
The two of them no longer hesitated and immediately headed towards the back of the palace. When they arrived at the dense forest, they discovered that there was a restriction barrier in the depths of the forest. Even if the two of them worked together, they were unable to break through the restriction barrier. No matter how they tried, it was useless. However, the aura of the Eye of Spirit Veins came from inside.
“Who is it!”
Suddenly, four more Nascent Soul cultivators appeared behind the two of them. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the four of them. He stretched out his hand and grabbed one of them from afar. The other three were instantly frightened to the point of their hearts breaking. Could it be that the other party was actually a Harmony Stage expert?
At this moment, the four of them didn’t even have the heart to resist. The Nascent Soul cultivator that was captured was even more frightened. “You … you’re not an outsider, you … who exactly are you …”
Xiao Chen did not answer his question. He only said, “How do I break the restrictive barrier here?”
Hearing this, that person’s face turned even more pale with fear. A person behind him wanted to send out a spiritual message, but before it could be sent out, an ice needle had already pressed against his forehead. Meng Xian’er was looking at him indifferently.
The Nascent Soul cultivator swallowed his saliva. He didn’t expect such a peerless person to act so fiercely. He was so scared that he threw away the transmission jade letter in his hand. Then, he slowly raised his hands and didn’t dare to move again.
“This … this is the Thunder Summer Secret Realm … I need a secret realm key to open it …” The cultivator that Xiao Chen was holding said with a pale face and trembling voice.
“Where is the secret realm key?”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was still cold. It was like two streaks of ice, causing that person to be endlessly frightened. He said in a trembling voice, “There are two secret realm keys. You need two of them together to open the secret realm. One of them is … with the Crown Prince … the other is … with the Prime Minister …”
