As the Universe Turns - Chapter 757
Chapter 757 Conditions
“Tutor, are you a little surprised …”
Just as Situ Wenqing hadn’t recovered from his shock, a faint female voice sounded beside him. However, Meng Xian’er had arrived beside him at some unknown time.
“You …”
Situ Wenqing regained his senses. Looking at the peerless woman in front of him, he seemed to have thought of something. Meng Xian’er said indifferently, “Don’t be surprised, Tutor. Last time in the Land of Thunder, we met. We helped you retreat this time, but on one condition, open the Thunder Xia Secret Realm and let us in.”
“Thunder Summer Secret Realm …”
Hearing these four words, Situ Wenqing’s expression became serious. Not only was the Thunder Xia Secret Realm the location of the Mausoleum of the Emperors and the burial of successive kings, it was also … In short, it was no small matter. Why did the two of them want to enter the Secret Realm at this moment?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Meng Xian’er said again, “What? Do you need to think about it, Tutor?”
Hearing this, Situ Wenqing came back to his senses. He almost didn’t think about it and said, “No, if you two resolve the crisis in our country today, I will definitely let you enter and leave the Thunder Xia Secret Realm at will.”
At the end of his sentence, he looked towards the distant city tower. There was nothing he could do now. Not only was this young man’s cultivation extremely high, but he was also very special. He did not seem to be afraid of the death aura from that ferocious beast, nor did the death aura from those foreign corpses seem to be of any use to him.
“It’s a deal.”
Meng Xian’er didn’t say anything else. He immediately sent his divine sense to Xiao Chen. After receiving his divine sense, Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled. He held onto Genuine energy and slashed at the ferocious beast with his sword.
This sword strike seemed to set off a tremendous wave in the flat ground. Those who were originally too frightened to move by the ferocious beast saw such a ferocious sword strike, and their hearts seemed to surge. Without waiting for them to blink, the head of the ferocious beast had already been sliced off by the sword, but no blood flowed out of its neck.
“Putong!” With a loud and heavy sound, the ferocious beast’s enormous body fell down, stirring up dust all over the ground outside the city gate.
This scene shocked many people. Everyone felt as if they were in a dream. Looking at the enormous corpse of the ferocious beast, they found it hard to believe what they had just seen was true.
In the distance, a few foreign experts were also shocked, and the foreign king’s expression became extremely gloomy.
“Roar!”
Right at this moment, another terrifying roar sounded. The ferocious beast named “hideous” also emerged from the clouds and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
This ferocious beast’s entire body was covered with a layer of blood scales. It was even more bloodthirsty than a ferocious beast. Just as everyone held their breath and focused, Xiao Chen waved his hand and the Di Gu Sword instantly transformed into a ten thousand meter golden light that flew out. It broke through the heavy aura of death and pierced the ferocious beast from its head to its tail with a “chi” sound.
“Putong!”
The ferocious beast’s enormous body also fell beside the beast. The two beasts that had been dead for many years were finally unable to move this time.
The Outsider King’s expression became even gloomier. He stared fixedly at Xiao Chen. Why was this person not afraid of the death aura on his body?
Situ Wenqing did not expect that even he would be able to easily kill the two beasts.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, another loud explosion rang out, causing everyone to wake up. The walls of the city shook endlessly, and the layers of defensive restrictions were already on the verge of collapse.
Although the two ferocious beasts had fallen, the outsider corpses hadn’t stopped yet. They were still destroying the restriction array. However, the cultivators of Lei Xia Kingdom didn’t dare to approach them. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to stop them.
Just as everyone was nervous, Xiao Chen flew downstairs in an instant. He raised his palm and took one person’s life. His movement technique was almost to the limit. In an instant, he had already taken several lives. No one could clearly see how he attacked, not even touching the outsider corpses. He fell to the ground and died extremely strangely.
“This …”
Many people in the city were shocked. Just who was this person and why was he so powerful?
The others couldn’t tell, but Situ Wenqing could tell at a glance that it was the exact same method of killing in the Land of Thunder that day. There was no need to touch the other party. It was as if he could control the other party’s life and death with just a thought. What kind of cultivation method was this? It was so terrifying …
In just a short moment, many people hadn’t even regained their senses. The dozens of outsider corpses outside the city gate had all fallen. Their bodies were still lifeless, but they didn’t have the slightest bit of life left.
Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and gently floated back onto the tower. The two gazes of the Outsider King were as cold as arrows as they shot at him coldly, “Who exactly are you …”
Xiao Chen remained silent. Originally, the dispute between the two parties had nothing to do with him. However, when the Eye of Spirit Veins entered the Thunder Xia Secret Realm, he had to let the Thunder Xia Kingdom open it.
A few outsider experts flew to the side of the Outsider King and whispered, “King, do you want to continue?”
The Outsider King’s gaze was cold and terrifying. He still stared coldly at Xiao Chen. After a while, he raised his hand, his eyes filled with unwillingness. However, he also knew that with this person here today, it was impossible for him to take down the imperial city. In the past … this imperial city belonged to them.
“Retreat!”
After the Outsider King gave the order, the flood-like outsider army immediately retreated like a tide and quickly disappeared.
The calm outside the city finally returned to normal. At this moment, many people in the city still seemed to be in a dream. They hadn’t recovered their senses until Situ Wenqing flew up to the city tower and cupped his hands towards the white-haired man. “Thank you, little friend, for solving the problem of our Thunder Xia Kingdom’s upside down today.”
“There’s no need to say anything polite. Remember the conditions you agreed to.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent. After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and flew towards the palace. The nearby xiuzhe still found it hard to believe. Just now, they felt a bone-chilling chill from this person. They had never seen such a cold and terrifying person before. Who exactly was this person? Even the Crown Prince was so polite to him …
Two hours later, the atmosphere in the palace was solemn. Everyone was silent. This time, the outsiders attacked too suddenly. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of this white-haired man, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
King Thunder Xia was sitting at the head of the hall. His aura was dignified and inviolable. The first person on his left was an old man dressed in sandalwood-colored official robes. This person was Lord Prime Minister, surnamed Qin, and he was known as Qin Prime Minister. He held half of the secret realm keys in his hand.
On the right side of the hall, Situ Wenqing was the first. Most of the people in Lei Xia knew that he had always been at odds with Qin Xiangguo.
After a long time, King Thunder Xia looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “The Thunder Xia Secret Realm is an unusual place. May I ask why Childe Xiao went to the Thunder Xia Secret Realm?”
Xiao Chen did not conceal anything. He said bluntly, “I have tracked the Eye of Spirit Veins from the Four Little Seas to this place, and the Eye of Spirit Veins is in the secret realm.”
“What …”
Hearing this, all the officials in the hall were shocked. How could there be a Spirit Vein Eye in the secret realm? This is too unimaginable …
After a long time, the hall quieted down. At this moment, Qin Xiangguo snorted coldly and said unhappily, “The Thunder Summer Secret Realm is an important place for us. Is it possible to enter as soon as we enter?”
Situ Wenqing glanced at him and frowned, “I had an appointment with Childe Xiao earlier. He helped us retreat today and allowed him to enter the secret realm.”
“Humph!” Qin Xiangguo snorted coldly, “That’s what you promised. What does it have to do with me?”
Situ Wenqing looked at him and said, “If Lord Prime Minister was present today, I’m sure he would agree.”
These words were obviously mocking him for not even going to the battlefield. How could Qin Xiangguo not recognize them? Just as he was about to say something, a young guard’s voice suddenly sounded from outside. “Princess, your body hasn’t recovered yet. Be careful …”
