As the Universe Turns - Chapter 823
Chapter 823 Wushuang City
The mysterious man outside the valley smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, your words will definitely be brought …” After he finished speaking this time, there was no more sound.
Xiao Chen looked at the thing in his hand. This was the avatar that Luo Die had made for him back then. It was a small puppet, but she had carved it so vividly. There was his Genuine energy and a strand of magic power inside. However, at that time, he had yet to become divine. Now, Luo Die probably did not need this avatar anymore, but she did not expect that she would remain by his side.
Suddenly, he recalled the scenes of going to the East Continent. Although more than ten years had passed, it was as if it was still yesterday. Everything was still vivid in his mind.
Ever since he kidnapped Luo Die and left the Life and Death Alliance, and then he was chased to Yang Valley, where he was seriously injured, Luo Die came back to save him. During that time, she took the risk of going out to buy medicine for him, and then she came back to decoct medicine for him …
Finally, the two of them fled to Tomb of Gods and Demons and were surrounded by tens of thousands of people. Everything they encountered … Especially when they finally escaped from Tomb of Gods and Demons, the two of them wandered in the Void Realm for half a year. Just as he was about to give up in despair, Luo Die suddenly woke up and gave him hope again …
Everything seemed to be still yesterday.
Why did Luo Die suddenly come to Xianyuan Five Realms to look for him? There was no need to guess. He already knew in his heart that when he left the Eastern Continent, Luo Die had already gone to a place where there was no place to go. He thought that he must have no choice but to come to Xianyuan Five Realms to look for him now. However, he did not expect that after crossing the ocean with great difficulty, Beigong Changfeng would be the first to capture her.
However, there was only one thing that Xiao Chen could not understand. How did Beigong Changfeng know about Luo Die? Even if Beigong Changfeng found out that he had been to the East Continent, how would he know about his relationship with Luo Die? How did you meet Luo Die? Even Wei Yang didn’t know how Luo Die knew about this person …
Xiao Chen tightly gripped the avatar in his hand. There was nothing wrong with this avatar. There was his magic power and Genuine energy inside. No one could copy it. Luo Die must have fallen into Beigong Changfeng’s hands. This time, it would be a bit troublesome …
He knew in his heart that either Beigong Changfeng’s injuries from three years ago hadn’t healed, or he was trying to find a way to break through, so this time, he must have laid a trap and used Luo Die as bait to capture him …
But … if they didn’t save Luo Die, with Bei Gong Chang Feng and the others’ temperament, they wouldn’t pity a woman in the slightest. It was likely that Luo Die wouldn’t be able to endure the torture.
He had to save someone. Although he knew that Beigong Changfeng had laid a trap in his heart, he still wanted to go. He didn’t want to leave behind any regrets. This time, Luo Die had traveled thousands of miles to find him, but he had fallen into Beigong Changfeng’s hands. If something happened to him, he would be ashamed for the rest of his life, and he wouldn’t be able to break through this knot in the future.
Although his temperament had become colder and colder over the past ten years, there was always a place warm beneath his cold appearance. Of course, it had nothing to do with the wind or the moon.
…
One day later, in a secret hall, the hall was dimly lit. There was a figure sitting on the stone platform. That person’s eyes were lightly closed, and there were a few green flames floating around his body. It was precisely Beigong Changfeng.
Right at this moment, there was a burst of light footsteps approaching from outside. The person who could come to this secret hall must be Beigong Changfeng’s personal disciple.
“Master …”
A man dressed in black walked in. Beigong Changfeng did not open his eyes. He only asked, “How is it? The matter has been settled.”
The man cupped his hands and said, “Master, the matter has been settled. Indeed, as Mr. Ghost Mist said, that woman is the weakness of that person. He will definitely come to Wushuang City to save her within three days.”
“Alright …”
Beigong Changfeng suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, two flames flashed in his eyes, followed by an abyss-like coldness.
The black-clothed man smiled and said, “Congratulations, Master!”
“Mm …”
Beigong Changfeng nodded slightly. His eyes were still very cold. He looked at the two hidden flames in his palm and said coldly, “I heard that Ling Xuzi and Lu Yan died at his hands.”
“Mm … Indeed.” The black-clothed man nodded and observed the changes on Beigong Changfeng’s face.
“Humph!”
Beigong Changfeng snorted coldly. His expression did not seem to care much. He only said coldly, “Alright, let him think that no one is his opponent. That’s why he came to my Wushuang City with such arrogance. This time, I will definitely teach him how to fly without wings.”
At the end of his sentence, his eyes became exceptionally cold and silent. Very soon, grandfather will be able to avenge you …
The black-clothed man smiled and waved his hand, “Master, please.”
“Mm …”
Beigong Changfeng’s expression was still frosty. Outside, there was a mountain peak. Beneath the mountain peak, however, the clouds were vast. Below was a very grand city, far beyond a small mountain villa of the Lu Clan.
The name of this city was Wushuang City, and it was owned by Beigong Changfeng. The Bei Gong Yi clan had many branches, while he belonged to the Unparalleled Bloodline.
Peerless City wasn’t filled with people from Beigong Clan, but there were also quite a few other cultivators from Spirit Ruins Realm. The news of Xiao Chen had spread like wildfire in the city these past few days, and many people were curious as to who it was that dared to be enemies with the Beigong clan within a radius of several tens of thousands of kilometers.
At this moment, looking at the city under the clouds, Beigong Changfeng’s face gradually lost its icy coldness. He asked, “Also, have those old fellows replied?”
The black-clothed man whispered, “Master, I’ve already received a few messages from Martial Uncles saying that they will come at that time …”
“Hmph, I’ll be back then …”
Beigong Changfeng’s expression turned a little cold again. He naturally informed the elders of the other sects about capturing Xiao Chen, but he also knew that those people were eager for trouble here. The reason why they came to help him this time was simply because they wanted a piece of him. After all, that brat possessed a cultivation technique, and it was a fragment of the Heavenly Book that people wanted …
“Forget it.”
Beigong Changfeng waved his hand. How could he not be aware of the open and secret battles among the six great clans? He casually said, “Anyway, as long as that brat dares to come this time, he won’t be able to leave alive …”
“Naturally, it’s just …” The black-clothed man hesitated. “Just what?” Bei Gong Chang Feng looked at him.
“It’s just that I was thinking, that brat can’t really be back then …”
Before he could finish speaking, Beigong Changfeng coldly snorted and interrupted, “So what? I will definitely kill him, so what? That person back then was nothing more than … Hmph!”
At this moment, Beigong Changfeng’s face revealed a look of disdain, but his eyes still couldn’t hide it. A look of deep fear flashed in that instant.
…
Night fell quietly. At this moment, in a prison in Wushuang City, dripping sounds could be heard continuously in a damp and dark environment.
This prison was located underground in Wushuang City. There were more than a dozen extremely powerful restriction formations suppressing it. No one was able to escape from this place, and no one was able to rescue anyone from this place. At least for the past thousand years, no one had escaped.
At this moment, in the damp corridor, the lights were dim, and two jailers slowly walked over. One of them said, “I heard that on the eighth floor below, a special prisoner was locked up not long ago. Everyone outside is guarded by people from Beigong Clan, and we can’t go in …”
“Shh … don’t tell me, I heard from below that she is still a great beauty, so she is born with water …”
“Great Beauty? Isn’t it a waste of heavenly treasures for Great Beauty to be locked up here? Is it necessary for her to be locked up on the eighth floor?”
Just as the two of them were talking, a figure suddenly walked in front of them. Under the dim light, they saw that the person was wearing a red dress. His waist was as thin as a bundle, and his figure was extremely good. However, his expression was as cold as frost. Although he looked very beautiful, her eyes were like snakes and scorpions, causing one to shiver.
When the two jailers saw her, they immediately fell silent. They hurriedly moved aside and said with trembling heads, “Fourth … Fourth Miss.”
The woman in red did not even look at the two of them. She walked straight forward. The two of them trembled. The person on the left immediately raised his head and said, “Senior Changfeng has instructed that no one should go down …”
“Huh?”
The woman suddenly stopped and coldly turned her head. At this moment, her two gazes were like poisonous snakes, causing the two of them to instantly fall into an ice cellar, not daring to say another word.
“Hmph.”
The woman snorted coldly and brushed her sleeves, heading towards the corridor.
There were nine floors of this dungeon. Each floor held different prisoners. Each floor was more terrifying. If one accidentally touched it, if one did not possess an extremely high cultivation level, they would most likely end up with their bodies and souls destroyed.
By the time they reached the eighth floor, the passageway was much more spacious. The prison had also been replaced with stone halls that were tightly sealed. At this moment, there were eight people guarding the stone hall at the innermost. These were not jailers, but Beigong Clan’s elite disciples.
“Fourth … Fourth Miss!”
Seeing the red-clothed woman suddenly walk over coldly, the eight of them felt a chill behind their backs for some reason and immediately greeted her.
The woman in red glanced at the tightly shut stone door and said coldly, “Is she inside?”
“Yes … Yes.”
The two of them nodded, their expressions slightly uneasy. When the woman approached the stone door, the two of them were slightly shocked. They immediately raised their heads and hurriedly said, “Fourth young miss, you can’t. Master has instructed that this woman must not suffer any damage before capturing that brat …”
“Huh?”
The woman in red immediately shot two cold gazes at the two of them. The two of them trembled and stammered, unable to speak. A person beside them showed some intelligence and hurriedly went over to open the stone door. “Miss, please” he said with a smile on his face.
“Humph!”
The woman in red coldly flicked her sleeves and glared at the two before walking into the stone hall. After she entered, the disciples outside hurriedly handed glances to each other and closed the stone door.
“Da … Da … Da … Da …”
The sound of ice-cold footsteps echoed in the dark stone hall. It sounded like something else was suppressing. At this moment, on a stone platform, there was a person imprisoned there. That person lowered his head and his hands were chained. It was none other than Qianluo.
