As the Universe Turns - Chapter 859
Chapter 859 Blizzard Peak (1)
“It really is him, it really is him …”
Everyone was still shocked, Apart from a small number of people who had been to the Xiqi Mountain Range to see Xiao Chen, after so many years, not many people had actually seen him. At the very least, the people who had come to Zhongyue Peak today had hardly seen him in these ten years. If it wasn’t for the matter of the Xiqi Mountain Range’s Frost Lake last time, many people wouldn’t even know that the master of Lustless Heaven was him.
Now that they saw his current appearance and thought of the profound youth from the beginning and the person from the Heavenly Sect’s change, how could everyone connect the two? How could they not be shocked? How could they not be scared?
It wasn’t until Xiao Chen landed on the snowy mountain peak that the originally noisy crowd quieted down. All the people from the various sects subconsciously moved away from him, especially those who had shouted to kill him back then.
At this moment, whether it was Qinghong Sect of Yu Zhenzi, Cangfeng Valley of Liu Xuanyin, the four elders of Yu Xu Guan and Qingfeng, or Lingxuanzi of Yu Xu Guan, their faces changed to varying degrees.
Back then, outside Lianhua Palace, Xiao Chen pointed at Tang Yu and killed Yu Zhenzi from the Green Rainbow Sect. Even if Yu Zhenzi rushed over, he was still unable to save him. Since then, Xianyuan Five Realms seemed to have understood that this child would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. He would definitely destabilize the entire situation in Xianyuan Five Realms. Now, it seemed that he had expected it back then.
As for the four Elders of Cangfeng Valley Qingfeng, they had already seen how powerful Xiao Chen was when Cangfeng Valley invaded Xiao Chen alone. In the end, if it wasn’t for Grand Patriarch’s deterrence, they would have been afraid that Cangfeng Valley would be in trouble that day.
At this moment, many people were carefully recalling what had happened to Xiao Chen. However, the entire Righteous path of Xianyuan was not completely reversed.
When he found out the truth about everything that happened back then, Actually, there are a lot of people, especially those of the older generation, Their dao hearts were often more resolute than ordinary people. They weren’t tempted by evil spirits, and didn’t believe in gossip. They knew very well that what happened back then was mostly caused by Shen Cangming’s plot to cause chaos behind his back, which caused a well-behaved Xuan Qing disciple to suffer injustice. In the end, was it all his fault that he had become like this now?
At this moment, many white-haired elders in the distance sighed and sighed. If one person made a mistake, it was the fault of everyone in the world …
At this moment, many people were sighing that Xiao Chen had gone astray. However, there were also people who sighed. Back then, they had also done the same, forcing Shen Cangming into a path of no return …
“Yi Chen …”
Everyone sighed, but at this moment, the person who felt the most sorrow in their hearts was none other than the woman dressed in red who was standing not far away from Jiang Nanliu.
In fact, Mei Jianyi had never seen Xiao Chen in these past ten years. Now that she saw his head full of snow and white hair, and remembered the youth of the past, her heart was like a sharp blade formed by the snow and wind in the sky. She fiercely stabbed him.
Back then, when Xiao Chen was still a young boy, she had watched Xiao Chen slowly grow up. She still clearly remembered everything from the past.
“Master, she never liked me, did she …”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Your Master’s … favorite person is you.”
…
“Sect Leader saved my life three years ago. Today, Wei Yang has paid for me. From now on … I no longer owe you.”
“Disciple’s abilities were all taught by Master in the past. Today, I will return them all to Master …”
…
“Let me ask you again, do you know what’s wrong?”
“I… That’s right.”
“Everything Master said … I remember … But today, I’m not wrong … Back then … I wasn’t wrong … It wasn’t me that was wrong, it was the secular prejudice, it was you …”
“Today, our master-disciple relationship is over. You can leave now …”
“Thank you … Master …”
…
Scenes of the past appeared one after another, as if they were yesterday. Mei Jianyi stood there motionlessly. The wind and snow grew heavier and heavier, blurring his eyes and blurring Xiao Chen’s back as he walked towards the Wind Cloud Pavilion.
“I didn’t expect that only Brother Si Que would set up wine in this Wind Cloud Pavilion to wait for me.”
Xiao Chen slowly arrived at the Wind Cloud Pavilion, but Guisi did not say a word. With a slap of his hand, a jar of wine flew towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen extended his hand and caught the flying wine jar. The two of them drank heavily in the snowstorm, ignoring the two righteous demons outside the pavilion.
Behind him, the clouds and stones gradually flew closer. It was Madam Xian Shu, the Valley Master, Yang Xiaoran, and the others. This time, Shen Jing had also come. She was next to a jade sedan chair. The person riding in the jade sedan chair was naturally Wei Yang. The snow on the summit of Zhongyue Peak was extremely cold. This was a sedan chair that Madam Xian Shu had specially built to protect her from the cold. It could isolate people from the cold outside.
“He didn’t drink much, but it’s rare for him to have someone to drink with.” Wei Yang’s voice came from the sedan chair. From the sound of it, it sounded as if he was speaking with a smile on his face.
Just like that, under the snowstorm, everyone watched Xiao Chen and Guisi drinking in the pavilion. There were also people whispering, “That person … who is he?”
“I heard that it was the person who was kicked out of the Heavenly Gate many years ago because he killed someone …”
“Oh … these two people, do you know each other?”
“Not only do we know each other, I heard that once, this Guisi even went to the Heavenly Gate with him to rescue that demonic woman …”
“Shh, keep your voice down! You don’t want to die anymore?”
“What? So what? Why aren’t you letting people talk? All the sects and sects are here today. No matter how capable he is, can he dare to kill me in front of so many people?”
…
Inside the Wind Cloud Pavilion, the two of them were able to drink seven or eight jars of wine. Unknowingly, almost an hour had passed. The crowd outside was blown away by the wind and snow. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of stopping, some of them had already waited impatiently, but no one had spoken out first.
At this time, Patriarch Motian looked at the two of them in the Wind Cloud Pavilion. He put both of his hands in his sleeves and said indifferently, “Venerable Lord Lustless, I think this wine is almost drunk. Should we talk about business?”
With Patriarch Motian leading the way, people in the vicinity immediately echoed. The noise outside grew louder and louder, gradually concealing the sound of the wind and snow. Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Back then, it was also the peak of the Middle Peak. Everyone in the Wind Cloud Pavilion wanted to kill Xiao, but Brother Sique was the only one here, waiting for Xiao to drink wine …”
Guisi smiled softly and said, “This time, this time, this time, today, Brother Xiao is different from before.”
“Now that they want to kill Xiao, I’m afraid they don’t have the ability to do so.”
Said Xiao Chen. As he put down the wine jar in his hand, a cyan-robed Taoist stood up. His hand was holding a whisk, and his gaze was as cold as frost as ice as he looked at the Wind Cloud Pavilion. He said coldly, “Xiao Yichen, no matter what happened in the past, you are still the leader of the side. I hope that you don’t go too far and gather around Spiritual Bloodline Force. You may not be able to see all of this.”
At this point, the Taoist stopped. Someone immediately echoed, “Venerable Lord Lustless has been gathering Spiritual Bloodline Force all these years, causing the entire Xianyuan Five Realms to lose its balance. If this continues, the mountains and rivers will surely dry up. At that time, it will be an unbearable loss for the entire world.”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen was still sitting in the Wind Cloud Pavilion and said indifferently, “Then what do you want me to do today?”
As soon as these words were spoken, more people approached Fengyun Pavilion. Someone said, “Venerable Lord Lustless only needs to hand over the spiritual veins of some places, including Yun Chuan, Hanyang, Qi Zhou, Northern Shaanxi, Jiang Chi, Yuan Zhou …”
That person said more than ten places in one breath. Above the clouds and stones, Master of Moon Valley sneered, “I’ve even thought of some places. Sure enough, they’re coming for Lustless Heaven. However, these people are too greedy …”
At this moment, the azure-robed Taoist took another step forward. He swept away the snow and wind in front of him and looked at the Feng Yun Pavilion. “Of course, apart from the places mentioned earlier, in order to ensure that the entire Xianyuan Ancient Land Spiritual Energy would not be out of balance, I hope that Venerable Lord Lustless can hand over the Eye of the Frost Pool as well …”
“Bullshit!”
Seeing that this person actually wanted Lustless Heaven to hand over the Eye of the Cold Pool, a few of Yang Xiaoran’s subordinates immediately glared at him angrily.
At this moment, the crowd slowly fell into silence. On the entire mountain peak, there was only the sound of the wind and snow blowing. Everyone remained silent as they watched Xiao Chen’s every move in the Wind Cloud Pavilion.
“Forget it …”
After Xiao Chen finished his last sip of wine, he turned around and slowly walked outside. Seeing him walk out of the pavilion, everyone outside became even more nervous.
At this moment, Wei Yang’s voice came from the sedan chair. “It’s snowing heavily outside. Moon, take a piece of clothing and give it to Excellency.”
“Yes …”
Moon took the mink fur coat from the sedan chair and lightly tapped his feet. He landed on the top of the mountain and gently draped the mink fur coat in his hand over Xiao Chen’s body.
Everyone from the various sects, be it the Righteous and Devil Dao, still had nervous expressions on their faces. Especially some sects in Diabolism, they knew how decisive this person was. Who would dare not obey Lustless Heaven’s Blood Rain Token …
However, in the Righteous path, when facing Xiao Chen, he was not as shocked as the other sects in Diabolism. The azure-robed Taoist said, “I wonder what Venerable Lord Lustless is thinking …”
“Not much …”
“Not only will I not hand over places like Yun Chuan, Hanyang, and Qi Zhou, I will also take places like Chemical Weapons, Yun Qiu, Chi Zhou, Lan Luo, and Tong Gu,” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“You …”
Hearing this, The crowd shook. Not to mention that everyone in the Righteous path was pale, even the faces of the people from the various sects in Diabolism changed at this moment. They never expected that he would not hand over the Spiritual Bloodline Force that he had forcefully gathered all these years. He actually wanted to annex even more places. Did he really think that Lustless Heaven could cover the sky with only his hands in the entire Xianyuan Five Realms without any scruples?
Just as everyone was shocked, the clear sky suddenly turned dark and cloudy. From all directions, a large amount of dark clouds quickly enveloped Zhongyue Peak. However, upon closer inspection, those densely packed figures were all human figures. The number was hard to estimate, but there were at least 30,000 to 50,000 people.
