As the Universe Turns - Chapter 761
Chapter 761 Tracking Demonic Qi
“Demon …”
Hearing this, the Second Prince was stunned, “How could there be a demon in the capital?”
“It’s not a demon from the capital. It’s a demon from outside. It’s following the aura of the spirit veins.”
Meng Xian’er said indifferently as she observed the corpses on the ground. There was a trace of demonic energy left on each of the corpses.
Situ Wenqing frowned deeply and said, “The restriction in the Mausoleum of the Emperor has not been opened. They have not been able to retrieve the Spiritual Vein Eye from below. They cannot directly retrieve the Spiritual Vein Eye, so they must have diverted the Spiritual Vein Eye elsewhere …”
He turned to look at Qianye on the ground and sighed softly, “Qianye didn’t tell them the incantation to break the restriction until he died.”
“But, if the royal sister knows about Qianye …”
The Second Prince’s face was bitter. His sister only had Qianye as a friend. Her illness was cured, but how could she accept Qianye’s death? It was too sudden. I’m afraid she …
“Ah Ye …”
At this moment, a dumbfounded voice sounded not far away. At this moment, even the wind seemed to have stopped, and the surroundings became exceptionally quiet.
“Ah Ye … Ah Ye!”
Princess Yun Yi ran over and her eyes were blown red by the wind. The Second Prince hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, “Yi Yi, don’t go over, don’t look …”
“No … no, Ah Ye, Ah Ye! Brother … let go of me, I want to see Ah Ye, let go of me, Ah Ye, Ah Ye, wake up … Ah Ye …”
Princess Yun Yi’s face was covered in tears as she cried out in grief. The Second Prince hugged her tightly and refused to let her pass. Her voice was also choked with sobs, “Yi Yi, will you be obedient? Listen to my brother’s words …”
“No, no …”
The Princess continued to struggle, tears rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls, “Ah Ye, get up and look at me … I’m Yi’er … I’m cured, I can live, Ah Ye … Wake up, Ah Ye …”
Situ Wenqing took a deep breath and couldn’t bear to look again. He closed his eyes and said, “Your Highness, send the princess back …”
“Mm …”
The Second Prince nodded with tears in his eyes. Then, she carried the Princess out. The Princess continued to struggle between his hands. “No … Brother, “Let go of me … I’ll just take a look and let me see Ah Ye … I’ll just take a look. I won’t cry, Yi Yi won’t cry … Brother, can you let me go … Ah Ye, wake up, I can go outside now. Didn’t you say that when Yi Yi’s illness is cured, I’ll take Yi Yi out to see the outside world … Ah Ye …”
The voice gradually faded away and disappeared. Situ Wenqing took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. Unknowingly, his eyes were a little red.
“Lord Situ, we should have arrived long ago, right?” At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly said something like this.
“What?”
Situ Wenqing looked at him in surprise. Xiao Chen glanced at Qianye’s corpse on the ground and said indifferently, “I say, Lord Situ has already arrived with the death of this guard, right?”
“You” Hearing what he said, Situ Wenqing’s entire body couldn’t help but tremble, and his face turned slightly pale.
Xiao Chen took two steps forward and looked at the corpse on the ground. “When I was’treating ‘the princess, I discovered that her fate was very abnormal. Lord Situ, don’t tell me, you don’t know anything about it” Xiao Chen raised his head at the end of his sentence. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything in this world, and he didn’t move at all as he looked at the Harmonious Stage expert in front of him.
“Sigh …”
Situ Wenqing finally let out a long sigh. “That’s right, I can’t hide anything from little friend. I believe little friend has also discovered that the princess and Qianye are extremely rare in history. It’s precisely because of this that Qianye won’t be affected by the princess. Even if he gets close to her, he won’t lose his lifespan. This is’mutual birth ‘, but in the end, only one of them will survive. This is’mutual rejection'”
At this point, He sighed again, “I have tried many times, “To break this strange fate, but how can a human defeat the heavens? Later on, I also held out hope that both of them might be able to live well, but … but in the end, the result was still the same. So, only one of them could live. No matter how strong a human was, there would still be an end to it. However, the will of heaven could not be violated. The fate could be changed, but the fate was decided. So it was difficult to change …”
At the end of his sentence, he slowly lowered his head and sighed. Looking at Qianye who had already died, his gaze carried a trace of guilt.
“Then Lord Situ doesn’t have to worry anymore. The princess can live well now … Fairy Dream, let’s go.” Xiao Chen said indifferently before turning around and heading out of the secret realm.
Situ Wenqing’s eyebrows furrowed as he watched the two disappearing silhouettes, still standing there unmoving.
…
After leaving the city and looking at the capital, Meng Xian’er suddenly sighed with emotion, “That’s right, how could the life of a guard be the life of a princess in their eyes?”
“Everything that is visible will one day return to dust. How can it be distinguished between noble and lowly?” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“Childe Xiao …”
Meng Xian’er was slightly surprised by his sudden words, but she immediately felt relieved and said, “Only two people who love each other can live. This Heavenly Dao … is truly heartless.” At the end of his sentence, he looked up at the sky and shook his head with a smile.
Xiao Chen remained silent. After a while, he said, “You said before that the one who attracted the Eye of Spirit Veins was a demon with extremely high cultivation. I can’t sense the aura of the Eye of Spirit Veins for the time being. Can you sense the remaining demonic energy?”
“En, wait, I’ll try …”
Meng Xian’er stopped and slowly closed her eyes to sense the demonic energy. It seemed that she was much more sensitive to the demonic energy than ordinary people.
After a while, she opened her eyes and looked towards the southeast, “It’s heading towards the southeast.”
“Let’s go.”
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them immediately chased after him in the southeast direction. After following him for a day and night, they still couldn’t find any traces of him, nor could they feel the slightest trace of the aura of the Eye of Spirit Veins. Xiao Chen said, “You are more familiar with Wuwang Sea than I am. In your opinion, what is the background of the other party?”
Meng Xian’er thought for a moment and said, “The Demon Realm has been destroyed in the Ancient Fiendgod Battle. If we exclude the demons, then I guess they should be people from the Insatiable Azure Sea … They can quietly enter the Imperial City, kill people, and attract the Eye of Spirit Veins … They should be two experts under Shen Cangming, Qing Chan and Ming Tong. This Qing Chan is a demon. It seems that he has cultivated for at least a thousand years.”
“Shen Cangming …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of coldness. Meng Xian’er looked at him and said, “Previously, in Soul Sucking Palace, perhaps Luo Yao’er …”
At this point, an indescribable look flashed in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she finally said, “Perhaps Luo Yao’er has already told Shen Cangming our whereabouts.”
“So what …”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen’s expression became exceptionally calm after hearing this. Meng Xian’er knew of his grudges and grudges with this person. She could not explain it clearly and could not explain it clearly. She did not say anything else and seriously sensed the trace of demonic energy left behind. A moment later, she said, “We’re heading north again.”
The two of them continued their pursuit to the north. Two days later, they had already left the territory of the Kingdom of Thunder Xia. In front of them was a large area without a master. The further they went, the more they could feel a burning heat coming from underground.
“In front is the Flame Sea. I heard that quite a few cultivators in Wuwang Sea have been there recently …”
Facing the burning sensation, Meng Xian’er’s expression gradually became serious. At this moment, she could sense that the faint demonic aura was getting closer and closer.
