As the Universe Turns - Chapter 840
Chapter 840 Luofeng Villa
“Luo Die, are you alright?”
Xiao Chen looked at her with rapt attention. He naturally remembered what had happened yesterday. Ever since those strange words appeared on her back, her entire body had been somewhat lost. And just now, there was actually such a terrifying cold hidden in her eyes. This was something that had never happened before.
“Childe Xiao, you’re up so early.”
Qianluo smiled gently. The trace of coldness just now had completely disappeared. At this moment, she seemed to have changed back to the same person she used to be.
“The injuries on your body … are all healed?” Xiao Chen looked at her and asked.
“Yes, it’s fine now. Childe Xiao doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.” Qianluo still had a faint smile on his face, like a flawless lotus blooming in the wind in the courtyard.
“So fast?”
“Mm … Childe Xiao, is there a problem? You seem a little strange today.”
“No, let’s go.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with suspicion. Something must have happened to her.
The two of them went outside. It was just dawn, and the air was still slightly cool. The streets were empty. Only the wind blew by, and they rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground with the sound of “sand-sand”.
“Childe, where are we going now?”
Qianluo raised her head and looked at him. Previously, when she fled alone in the Eastern Continent, she was always very decisive. However, it seemed that these days, she was used to asking Xiao Chen about everything.
“Those people from Beigong Clan shouldn’t be able to track us down.”
Xiao Chen looked at the distant streets. There were a few people who lowered their heads and rushed forward. Now that Luo Die had been rescued, he should immediately return to the Desire-less Genius. However, he did not plan on rushing back. The ancient restriction outside Lustless Heaven had been restored. With Ku Lingzi around, Ku Lingzi had the strength of a Quasi-Saint. He did not need to worry too much.
“Childe?”
Seeing that he was silent, Qianluo whispered to him again.
Only then did Xiao Chen slowly regain his senses. Last time, he retrieved Tai Shi Dao Sect from Spiritual Bloodline Force and the Lu Clan. However, in the past three years, Beigong Changfeng had taken away Lustless Heaven from Spiritual Bloodline Force. This was not the only point. But last time when he went to Wushuang City, he did not feel the existence of Spiritual Bloodline Force. Where did Beigong Changfeng send Spiritual Bloodline Force?
“There are still some things that have yet to be dealt with. Beigong Changfeng has taken away quite a few of my Spiritual Bloodline Force in the past three years. I must find them …”
Xiao Chen said with rapt attention. Last night, he thought about it for a night. Now, he clearly understood that he had become a mortal enemy of the Bei Gong Yi clan. If he didn’t find this Spiritual Bloodline Force as soon as possible, he probably wouldn’t have a chance to find it.
Qianluo naturally understood what he meant by Spiritual Bloodline Force. After thinking for a while, he said, “When I was in Wushuang City, I saw three people with similar cultivation to Beigong Changfeng. They must have been invited by Beigong Changfeng. Did Spiritual Bloodline Force give them the Beigong Changfeng you mentioned?”
“No …”
Xiao Chen shook his head. Although he had not had much dealings with Beigong Changfeng, But in his heart, he was very clear about this person. This person was unwilling to live under others. He was unwilling to always look up to others. That was why he constantly wanted to climb up. Those three people in Wushuang City had cultivation levels equal to his. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to curry favor with them. Therefore, he must have sent Spiritual Bloodline Force to someone whose cultivation level was higher than his.
“So it’s like this …”
From Xiao Chen’s eyes, Qianluo understood. But with so many branches in Beigong Clan, which gate did Beigong Changfeng send this Spiritual Bloodline Force to?
“Follow me.”
In a short while, Xiao Chen seemed to have an idea in his heart. He took her to the center of the city. This city was not small. When the two of them arrived in the city, the streets were already lively. However, when they saw the carriages and horses, pedestrians kept pouring in one after another.
“Childe Xiao … what do you plan to do?”
Qianluo walked beside him and asked in a low voice. She was vigilant about the surroundings. The two of them did not change their attire during this trip. If they walked on the streets like this, it would be difficult for them not to attract attention.
“There’s no hurry.”
Only when he reached a quiet place did Xiao Chen stop. At this moment, he used all of his Spiritual Energy and Power of Primordial Spirit to spread out his divine sense like a spider web. Every restaurant, inn, teahouse, and business in the city was instantly enveloped by his divine sense, and he didn’t let go of any corner!
This was the first time he had used his divine sense to such an extreme since his cultivation had advanced. Even those who had already entered the True Cave Stage would find it extremely difficult to do so. This was the divine sense that a Quasi-Sage should possess!
Very quickly, all the useful information in the city was gathered in his mind.
“Have you heard? Something happened to Wushuang City a while ago. Even his ancestral veins were touched. Beigong Changfeng is no match for that person. This time, he will definitely go to the Fallen Maple Manor to ask for help, right?”
“That person killed the Great Elder of the Lu Clan, but I heard that someone seemed to have seen Lu Yan in Wushuang City that day, right behind that person …”
“I heard it’s the Lord of Lustless Heaven. Where is Lustless Heaven?”
“In three days, it will be Beigong Changji’s birthday. This time, there should be quite a few people going to Luo Feng Manor to celebrate their birthday …”
“I heard that Beigong Changji was the one who brought Beigong Changfeng along back then …”
“Beigong Changji already had a cultivation at the True Cave Stage many years ago. Now that his cultivation has reached such a high level, no one knows who would dare to offend the Fallen Maple Manor these past few years.”
“I heard that the spiritual energy of the Fallen Maple Villa has become even more abundant these past few years. The cultivation of all the disciples has improved by leaps and bounds …”
“I’m afraid that there will be many people with ulterior motives who will go to Luofeng Manor to celebrate their birthday this time …”
…
A moment later, Xiao Chen withdrew his divine sense. Seeing that he was silent, Qianluo knew that he must have used his divine sense to probe the news. He whispered, “How is it? What did Childe Xiao find out?”
“Three thousand miles south, Luofeng Manor, Beigong Changji, three days later, birthday banquet …”
Xiao Chen looked towards the south. Judging from the information he had just heard, he could tell that the thing he wanted was in the Fallen Maple Manor.
“Fallen Maple Manor, three days later …”
Qianluo was slightly stunned. Although there were only ten words left in Xiao Chen’s mouth, she understood. She raised her head and said, “Childe Xiao plans to make a move at the birthday banquet in three days?”
Xiao Chen shook his head, still staring towards the south. “There’s no hurry. Before we go, we need to confirm it again. We need to find out how strong the other party is and who will be going to celebrate their birthday in three days …”
Qianluo stared at him blankly. She couldn’t help but recall that when she was with him in the past, she always seemed to be chased after by people. She avoided this calamity, and there was another calamity. But this time, it seemed different. This time, was she going to … cause trouble?
