As the Universe Turns - Chapter 799
Chapter 799 Foster Father
“Uh …”
Qianluo let out a muffled snort. The power in her body quickly dissipated, and her pupils gradually returned to normal. Her entire body no longer had strength, and her consciousness gradually became blurry. She tilted back and fell down.
On the other hand, there was a river below. A few days ago, there was a heavy rain. Today, the water was swift and the river was surging. As soon as she fell, she disappeared.
After countless days, when Qianluo woke up, she was already on the shore, and her body was still in pain. Thinking back to that day, her Supreme Forgetful Mysterious Technique lost control, as if her entire body’s meridians were burning, her mind gradually lost, and her entire body was filled with killing intent.
Actually, this was not the first time she had lost control of her profound arts. Over the years, she had cultivated so much that she felt as if she had suddenly fallen into a madness. Especially when she remembered the scene of her sect being slaughtered back then. Although her strength had greatly increased in an instant, her original temperament would be completely lost. She only had slaughter in her heart. Even if Xiao Chen was in front of her, she would probably attack.
“Where is this place …”
At this moment, Qianluo struggled to stand up and looked into the distance. She saw numerous shadows of trees. There seemed to be a village in front of her. This was no longer the boundless mountain range from before.
It was like a nightmare to think that she had escaped the pursuit of the Immortal Alliance in that mountain range. Although no one was following her now, she had to leave this place immediately. However, she did not go far, but felt a burst of powerlessness all over her body.
She had been injured before and could not be treated in time. Now, her injuries had already penetrated into her internal organs. If she could not be treated, her life would definitely be injured.
Moreover, that gorgeous man had died that day. She was now very worried that there would be a Harmonious Stage expert chasing after her. If a Harmonious Stage expert chased after her, she would have no chance of winning or escaping.
“No …”
Qianluo raised her pale palm and looked. With her current state, she couldn’t go far. She had to heal her injuries first, but who could heal her here? Even if someone could heal her, how could she be at ease? And she doesn’t know any medical skills …
“I have …”
Suddenly, she remembered something and took out sheets of folded paper from her sleeve. There were many words written on the paper: Seven Summers Purple Grass, Heavenly Fire Spirit Ganoderma, Nine Flower Jade Leaves, Frost Yang Marrow …
These were all the names of the medicinal ingredients. That time, Xiao Chen was seriously injured in Yang Valley. He wrote down the names of some of the medicinal ingredients for her to retrieve.
At that time, she did not understand any medical skills at all. She only followed Xiao Chen’s instructions to grab the medicine, and then she followed the method Xiao Chen taught her to decoct the medicine. At that time, she also retained the prescription of these medicines. She did not expect that they would actually be of use today.
Although she did not know if these medicines were effective against her injuries, she could only give it a try. Taking advantage of the darkness, she went to the front. There was indeed a small village ahead. If there was a village, it meant that there must be a town within a hundred miles of here.
When night fell, she found a small town, bought some disguise and changed her clothes. However, the ingredients on the recipe were mostly rare spirit medicines. It was impossible for a medicine shop in such a small ancient town to have these ingredients. Back then, she had gone to the big cities where she had helped Xiao Chen grab the medicine.
Three days later, she arrived in a city. The city was already full of portraits of her. She could only carefully go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine. After grabbing the medicine, she immediately left.
Half a month passed like this, These medicines were indeed useful. Her injuries had recovered by seventy-seven to eighty-eight percent. During this period of time, she had also heard many things. Right now, she needed to go to the Earth Realm’s Life and Death Alliance. In the Heaven Realm, she did not know who she could find. The only person in this world that she trusted was the leader of the Life and Death Alliance, Dongli Alliance, her “foster father”, Liu Dongli.
However, the Life and Death Alliance was far away from the Earth Realm. If she wanted to go there, it would probably take a few months to avoid being discovered by the people of the Immortal Alliance.
…
A few months later, it was already winter. Qianluo finally arrived at the Earth Realm. On the contrary, she was much more familiar with the Earth Realm than the Heaven Realm. She was once the Valley Master of the Myriad Butterflies Valley of the Life and Death Alliance, and was more familiar with the Life and Death Alliance than anyone else.
Seven days later, she quietly arrived at the residence of the Alliance Leader of Dongli. There were a few red lanterns hanging in the courtyard, swaying in the wind. The candlelight in the room was not extinguished, and a figure was reflected on the paper window. It was Liu Dongli.
She hadn’t returned to the Life and Death Alliance for more than ten years. She couldn’t tell what it was like to be here again. Just as she was absent-minded, she heard a creak. The door to the room opened, but Liu Dongli walked out. At this moment, his expression was very calm. “Luo Die, are you back?”
“Righteousness … foster father …”
Qianluo walked out from behind the big tree in a daze. She did not expect that she had already withdrawn all of her aura. In the end, she was still able to let Alliance Leader Dongli detect it.
Liu Dongli looked outside and whispered, “Come in.”
Qianluo quickly walked over, entered the room, and closed the door. At this moment, she did not know how to face the “foster father who saved her life back then” in front of her.
When she entered the Life and Death Alliance, it was originally arranged by Dao Wuwei, allowing her to use illusions to change back to the appearance she had when she was ten years old, and then she was “saved” by Liu Dongli …
“Sigh …”
At this moment, Liu Dongli looked at her and sighed softly, saying, “I’ve already heard about you …”
“I…”
Qianluo only felt her eyes slightly wet, and she choked, “Alliance Leader Dongli, back then I … you … didn’t you blame me …”
Liu Dongli shook his head and smiled softly, “What’s so strange about you? Now that you have nowhere to go, you’ve finally come to me. Don’t you still think of me as your foster father in your heart?”
Hearing him say this, Qianluo’s tears were about to drip. Liu Dongli smiled gently and turned around. He took out a scroll from the bookshelf and handed it to her. “This is the map of the Earth Realm and the Mortal Realm. The place I marked is not sealed by the Immortal Alliance. Although the journey is far, it is safer.”
“Righteousness … foster father …”
Qianluo did not expect that the East Li Alliance Master had already guessed that he would come to find him, and had already prepared everything for him.
“Go …”
Liu Dongli handed the map scroll to her and said, “Go all the way to the west, to the seaside. As long as you cross that sea, there will be another place. The Immortal Alliance can’t control that place. Go find that brat and find him. Don’t ever come back again. Forget this place …”
Qianluo held the map scroll in his hand and couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. It was like a broken pearl that fell down one by one. “Godfather … Take care of yourself in the future, godfather. If his Sunset Butterfly can …”
“Truly … Father and daughter love each other deeply.”
Right at this moment, a faint male voice suddenly came from outside. Before Qianluo could finish her words, she was instantly shocked and suddenly raised her head. However, Liu Dongli seemed to have expected it long ago. His expression did not change at all. He extended his hand to block her path and said in a secret language, “Let’s go to the secret passage in my room.”
“But …”
Qianluo looked outside. Those who came must have a very high cultivation base. Can the East Li Alliance Master handle it alone …
“Let’s go!”
Liu Dongli flicked his sleeve, and the entrance to the secret passage immediately opened. Qianluo glanced at the secret passage, and finally gritted her teeth and went inside.
After she entered, Liu Dongli’s profound art shook and completely sealed the entrance to the secret passage. Then, he slowly walked out and said, “Looks like you guys know quite a bit …”
There were already a dozen figures standing in the courtyard outside. Apart from the two men in the lead, the dozen black-clothed assassins behind them also had high cultivation levels.
However, at this moment, Liu Dongli was calm. He looked at the two men from the Immortal Alliance and said indifferently, “My Life and Death Alliance is not bound by the Immortal Alliance. The two of you came here uninvited tonight for some unknown reason.”
The man on the left from Qingyi said, “There is no place other than Tomb of Gods and Demons. She is not under Immortal Alliance’s control. She is someone Immortal Alliance wants. If the East Li Alliance Leader is sensible, it is best to hand her over. Otherwise, a small Life and Death Alliance like yours will probably be wiped out overnight.”
The Zi Yi man on the right walked up and whispered a few words into his ear. The Qingyi man’s expression changed slightly and he immediately rushed into the room. Liu Dongli stood at the door. His inner energy trembled, and his entire body was shrouded in golden light. It was precisely because he was unable to open the door. A terrifying force surged over and sent him and the killers flying back.
After the Qingyi man stood firm, he immediately rushed forward with the Zi Yi man. Unexpectedly, Liu Dongli only brushed his palm away and immediately sent the two of them flying back.
“Liu Dongli! You really want to go against the Immortal Alliance!”
The man from Qingyi was both shocked and furious, but the two of them only had 800 years of cultivation. Even if they added them together, they would not be able to defeat Liu Dongli’s 900 years of cultivation.
“Humph!”
Liu Dongli snorted coldly and said with a cold expression, “If it weren’t for the fact that you were from the Immortal Alliance, I would have taught you that the two of you would have been annihilated by that palm strike just now. If you don’t want to die … scram!”
“You!”
The two of them were even angrier. They simultaneously raised a cold sword and attacked. Liu Dongli was bare-handed, but he was still able to swiftly slash it. A moment later, the two of them suddenly slashed left and right. Genuine energy in Liu Dongli’s palms condensed, and with a “clang” sound, the two of them pressed their swords against the air.
After a moment of confrontation, the faces of the two men gradually revealed signs of exhaustion. At this moment, a cold light suddenly flew over from outside and pierced through Liu Dongli’s chest with a “chi” sound. Blood immediately splashed everywhere.
“Uh …”
Liu Dongli spat out a mouthful of blood. The two men reacted. One man and one sword stabbed into his chest. At this moment, a figure flew in from outside. It was an old man with white hair, who had just attacked.
“Master!”
The two men called him Master. The old man looked into the room and asked quickly, “Where is she? Hurry up and chase after her!”
The two men were slightly shocked. They immediately rushed into the room. Liu Dongli gushed out a mouthful of blood. His palms shook and forcefully pulled the two of them. The two of them were shocked again. One palm struck Liu Dongli’s head with a “bang”, but he still did not let go.
The white-bearded old man’s eyes turned cold with killing intent. In an instant, Liu Dongli’s left palm landed on Liu Dongli’s head, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices. The old man’s technique was almost at its limit, and his right hand instantly pinched his neck. With a “creak”, Liu Dongli opened his eyes, his pupils gradually dilated, and two rows of blood flowed out. Finally, he lost his breath and collapsed.
The lanterns in the courtyard were also extinguished.
At this moment, inside the secret passage, Qianluo’s heart suddenly trembled. He stopped and said, “Godfather …”
