As the Universe Turns - Chapter 843
Chapter 843 Pseudo-Sage Attack!
“Heavenless Palace …”
I don’t want Xiao Chen’s gaze to remain calm as he said indifferently, “Even if they don’t come looking for me, I think that one day, I will personally look for them …”
At the end of his sentence, his eyes suddenly turned cold. Even Beigong Changji couldn’t help but feel stifled by this cold. Was this kid really capable, or was he just a newborn calf that wasn’t afraid of tigers?
“Hmph …”
Beigong Changji coldly snorted, “Young man, don’t speak too bluntly. The Ten Saints are definitely not something you can imagine …”
“Ten Saints …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still calm as he kept Spiritual Bloodline Force and said indifferently, “Are you saying that forty years ago, those people who were not Xiao Zhufeng’s opponents added together …”
“No matter how formidable Xiao Zhufeng is, he was still the same in the end. He died at the hands of the Heavenless Palace …”
Beigong Changji said coldly, but the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill. This bone-chilling chill came from Xiao Chen.
“Thank you, Villa Master, for returning Spiritual Bloodline Force today. See you later …”
Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and put away the Flaming Sun Ring. His voice was not very cold, but it gave off a bone-chilling feeling. Even Qianluo, who was beside him, could feel it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside. The vibrations in the surroundings slowly stopped. The red mist gradually dispersed and everyone finally escaped from the illusion. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned and didn’t dare to speak.
Xiao Chen and Qianluo walked side by side and slowly walked out of the manor, completely ignoring the people on both sides.
Just like this, the two of them walked out as if nothing had happened in front of everyone’s eyes. Only when their figures disappeared did everyone regain their senses and look at Beigong Changji.
Beigong Changji clenched his fingers tightly and remained motionless as he watched the two of them leave. He didn’t know that behind him, a layer of sweat had already condensed and soaked the clothes inside.
…
Let’s talk about Xiao Chen and Qianluo. After the two of them arrived at the mountain villa, Xiao Chen still walked with his hands behind his back. He looked as if nothing had happened. He walked slowly, neither did he ride his sword nor unleash his Wind Harnessing Technique. After a while, he waited a little distance from Luofeng Villa before sending a secret message to Qianluo, “Luo Die, see if anyone catches up.”
“Ah?”
Qianluo was stunned for a moment. He quietly turned around and looked back. He whispered, “Childe, they didn’t catch up. However, when I heard you say that Beigong Changji had already reached the Transcendental realm, even I was shocked. Fortunately, he didn’t notice …”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded and stopped. He looked at her and said, “Let’s go.” As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled her to the extreme and used Ling Xian Step. In an instant, he was already a hundred miles away, but he still hadn’t stopped. He still ran for a thousand miles before slowly stopping.
Qianluo was stunned. She hadn’t finished her sentence just now. She looked at Xiao Chen blankly and said, “Childe Xiao, you …”
“Fortunately, I didn’t catch up.”
Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I really didn’t expect this person to have a Transcendent cultivation. If I had known that he had a Transcendent cultivation, I wouldn’t have taken this risk …”
“Then … then …”
Qianluo was even more confused. He stared blankly at him and said, “Then Childe, you just now, you just now … you were so calm, as if you already knew that he had a Transcendental cultivation, and you didn’t put him in your eyes at all. I thought you could beat him up, so that’s why you were so …”
“If I’m not calm, if I teach him a clue, if he makes a move, the two of us will undoubtedly die. He almost made a move earlier, it’s really close …”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he looked at her and said, “Do you think that the Transcendent Stage is the same realm as the True Cave Stage? Fortunately, he has misgivings about me. Otherwise, the two of us would have fallen into a trap today …”
In retrospect, Xiao Chen still felt that he had acted too recklessly this time. He had previously probed around and confirmed that Beigong Changji was only at the True Cave Stage. However, he didn’t expect that when he saw the other party, he would feel that this was not the True Cave Stage, but the Transcendental Stage!
But at that moment, it was too late for him to leave. Fortunately, his expression did not change at all at that moment. Otherwise, if he taught Beigong Changji a clue, the consequences would be unimaginable today.
After entering the illusion, he was actually even more nervous. He approached Beigong Changji step by step without even raising his cultivation. If the other party attacked him at this moment, he would definitely be heavily injured!
With his current cultivation, he might be able to deal with one or two cultivators at the True Cave Stage, but even with Lu Yan, he would never be able to defeat a Transcendent Stage cultivator. The reason why the Transcendent Stage was called the Transcendent Stage was because he had gradually transcended the mortal realm and was definitely not something that the True Cave Stage could compare to.
So just now, he was actually attacking his heart. Fortunately, his Undying Concept prevented the other party from seeing through his depth for a moment, causing Beigong Changji to mistakenly think that he was hiding his true strength. Otherwise …
At this moment, a layer of cold sweat had unconsciously condensed on Xiao Chen’s back. After Qianluo understood, he was completely stunned. In the end, he nodded in shock, “Childe … is really a divine being.”
“Stop talking. Leave this place as soon as possible. If Beigong Changji finds out that something is amiss, I’m worried that he will catch up, let alone …”
At this point, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown deeply, “I’m really worried about being targeted by that Heavenless Palace …”
“Then … let’s hurry up and leave.”
Qianluo immediately regained her senses. The two of them did not delay any longer. With a movement, they disappeared into the forest in front of them.
Not long after the two of them left, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest behind them. That person was dressed in white and was a gentle and handsome man. He held a white folding fan in his hand and looked in the direction where the two of them had just left. The folding fan closed and he snorted softly.
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen and Qianluo traveled together at night. This day was already not far from the place where he had entered. If he traveled at the fastest speed, he would arrive at most one day later.
However, at noon on this day, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a divine sense coming from ten thousand kilometers away, as if it had descended from the sky and locked onto him in an instant.
“Childe Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
Qianluo saw that there was something wrong with his expression, so she immediately stopped and asked with a frown.
“I’ve been tracked by someone’s divine sense …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression became exceptionally solemn. Ever since he entered the Spirit Ruins Realm, he had never felt such a strong divine sense. Could it be that he was actually … a Quasi-Sage!
Qianluo was also stunned, “Could it be that Beigong Changji is catching up …”
“Let’s go!”
At this moment, before Xiao Chen could explain, he immediately grabbed her and moved forward. It was absolutely impossible for her to be Beigong Changji!
At this moment, he almost pushed his speed to its limit. However, no matter how fast he was, the divine sense behind him was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer to him …
Until the afternoon, that divine sense had already traveled less than a thousand miles. Xiao Chen had still used Ling Xian Step to the extreme. Qianluo had never seen him so nervous. Even when he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people in Tomb of Gods and Demons ten years ago, he had never been as nervous as he was now …
At this moment, she seemed to have finally realized something. Could it be that the person behind her was actually a Quasi-Saint?
