As the Universe Turns - Chapter 871
Chapter 871 Hatred
“I’m asking you, back then, why did Heavenless Palace chase after them …”
Xiao Chen endured the killing intent in his heart and slowly approached him. Old man Qingyi laughed miserably, “How do we know about the things above? We’ll do whatever Tai Yinsi tells us to do …”
“Then you should know about Taiyin Palace, right? More than 40 years ago, Tai Yinsi was also involved …”
At this moment, the coldness in Xiao Chen’s eyes became even more intense. Old man Qingyi’s face was pale, and he didn’t fear but smiled instead, “No comment …”
“Don’t tell me … It doesn’t matter. I have a thousand ways to make you speak.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were ice-cold. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly placed his palm on his shoulder. At this moment, a surge of death energy continuously poured into Old man Qingyi’s acupoints and veins, and his limbs and bones instantly covered his entire body!
“Ah–”
Old man Qingyi raised his head and let out a shrill scream. Soon, he couldn’t hold on any longer. Finally, Xiao Chen slowly stopped and looked at him coldly. “Now, have you thought of a way to answer …”
“Alright, I’ll say …”
Old man Qingyi’s body was covered in cold sweat, his cultivation was sealed, and he was heavily injured. At this moment, he was no different from those ordinary cultivators with shallow cultivation. How could he withstand this death energy?
A moment later, he slowly raised his head and said with a pale face, “Heavenless Palace, I really don’t know why I insisted on chasing Xiao Zhufeng back then. The matter regarding Xiao Zhufeng has always been kept a secret, so how can the people below us know about it? At most, they only heard about it …”
“Then tell me you know …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still sharp. Old man Qingyi’s entire body was cold and trembling. “I only know that Tai Yinsi secretly participated in this matter because of something in Xiao Zhufeng’s hand. He found Hill of Illusory Ruins and Su Rou in a place called ‘Xiao Zhufeng’ …”
“And then …”
At this moment, the chill on Xiao Chen’s body became even more intense. Old man Qingyi’s face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice, “But with Tai Yinsi’s cultivation at that time, he was no match for Xiao Zhufeng. In Hill of Illusory Ruins, he was injured by Xiao Zhufeng, so he had no choice but to invite a Supreme Adept …”
Old man Qingyi didn’t dare to lie in the face of those two frightening cold gazes. Xiao Chen walked closer to him again and said coldly, “Who are you talking about?”
Old man Qingyi’s entire body trembled and his face turned pale as he said, “There are three Supreme Adepts in Heavenless Palace. The one Tai Yinsi invited that time … was Daoist Taihua.”
“Tai Huazi …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. The scenes in the dream appeared in his mind again and again … Even if he risked his life, the two people in his arms who wanted to keep the baby alive … were they really his biological parents?
Xiao Chen gripped his finger tightly and said coldly, “You said that Tai Yinsi was for something, what exactly is that …”
“Yes” Old man Qingyi’s entire body trembled and his face turned pale. “Yes … it’s a blood jade.”
“Blood Jade …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. He took out the blood jade from his sleeve and handed it to Old man Qingyi. “You saw it clearly, but this blood jade!” He said coldly.
There was a faint red light inside the blood jade, and even the lines were very clear. It was as if it was really stained with blood. Old man Qingyi was immediately shocked and his face became even paler. He nodded and muttered, “That’s right, it’s this blood jade, Lun … Samsara Jade!”
“I see …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood. He slowly closed his eyes, and the blood jade in his hand became tighter and tighter …
This blood jade has always been on him. However, when Master saved him back then, he took it away. Only when he went down the mountain that year did Master return the blood jade to him …
Could it be that Master … she had always known? Was it just a coincidence that she named herself Xiao? But why had she never said …
At this moment, Xiao Chen could only feel unspeakable pain pounding his heart. He had never seen him before, and he had never even known that the Yin and Yang were separated forever …
He recalled when he was young, when some people in the village said that he was a child without parents, not only was he angry, he also hated him. At that time, he did not know about the matter of the ancient village. He only hated who was so ruthless. When he was first born, he abandoned him …
But now, how was he going to hate him? At this moment, as soon as he closed his eyes, everything in front of him was a dream. Those two strangers, who were familiar with each other, were risking their lives to protect him …
It turned out that the truth would sometimes cause such pain? He would rather hope that he was ruthlessly abandoned when he was born. He would rather that he was just an ordinary person. Although he had grievances in his heart, at least he would not suffer as much as he does now …
“Why … why! Ah–”
He suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl. His eyes gradually became bloodshot. Old man Qingyi was so frightened that he didn’t dare to make a sound. After a while, he said in a trembling voice, “I’ve already told you everything you want to know …”
“I’ll kill you!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s hatred and killing intent suddenly increased. He bent his fingers and grabbed Old man Qingyi’s head. However, just a few inches away from his forehead, he stopped. His eyes were still frighteningly cold, and Old man Qingyi was scared out of his wits. If Xiao Chen had grabbed him just now, his brain would have shot out.
What’s the use of killing him? What’s the use of killing him? Was it revenge for killing him?
At this moment, these words kept echoing in Xiao Chen’s mind. What could he do with Old man Qingyi’s cultivation? It was that Tai Yinsi, it was that Tai Huazi … it was the entire Heavenless Palace!
At this moment, an unprecedented hatred suddenly arose in his heart. However, it caused him endless pain. Up until now, he had not been able to find the true culprit behind the slaughter of Ning Village. As for the enmity between killing his father and killing his mother, he knew who his enemy was, but so what if he knew …
Why, why did he have to endure so much?
At this moment, an extremely heavy hatred suddenly arose in his heart. His eyes were filled with hatred. Perhaps he did not know that his current gaze was exactly the same as Shen Cangming’s back then.
Revenge, revenge …
At this moment, there was only the word revenge in his heart. His eyes gradually turned blood red, and the killing intent on his body became heavier and heavier. It had almost materialized and turned into blood mist that wrapped around him. It was actually this heavy killing intent!
Old man Qingyi had already held his breath. At this moment, even his soul no longer belonged to him. He had never seen such a heavy killing intent!
At this moment, the sneer of the past resounded in Xiao Chen’s mind again. “That’s right, it’s just like this now. Hate, anger … You want revenge, don’t you? Those are your biological parents. Even if they die, they will still protect you and let you live …”
This was the voice of the Heart Demon. At this moment, the hatred and hostility on Xiao Chen’s body grew heavier and heavier. The voice of the Heart Demon continued to resound in his mind, “Is it not strong enough?” Don’t forget, you have Three Corpse Demon, who even deities fear. As long as Three Corpse Demon is fully awakened, who else in this world can be your opponent? In the future, you will become a peerless devil god. At that time, who would dare to disobey you? You only need to move your fingers and the entire Heavenless Palace will be annihilated in an instant. Hahaha … ”
“Three Corpse Demons, Three Corpse Demons …”
These three words kept ringing in his mind. At this moment, the hostility on his body erupted. He slowly raised his palm, only to see a faint black gas floating on his wrist.
“Peerless Demon God, revenge …”
The hatred and hostility on his body grew heavier and heavier, but at this moment, a hand gently pressed down on his shoulder from behind, “Idiot …”
It was as if the gentlest voice in the world had awakened Xiao Chen. He turned around and looked at the red-eyed woman in front of him.
At this moment, the incomparably heavy hostility seemed to have completely dissipated into smoke and clouds. The only thing left was a somewhat distressing look in his eyes.
His eyes were somewhat red at this moment. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, but even if it was silent, Hua Weiyang could still feel the pain in his heart. He shook his head and said, “Perhaps they … are still alive.”
“You mean …”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted. He looked coldly at Old man Qingyi. Before he could ask anything, Hua Weiyang said, “Let me ask you, did you personally see Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou die at Tai Huazi’s hands back then?”
“I, I …”
Old man Qingyi’s face was deathly pale. He was only stunned for a moment before he heard a “zheng” sound. A cold light flashed and a long sword appeared in Hua Weiyang’s hand, coldly pressing against his throat. “I saw it when I saw it, but I didn’t see it when I didn’t see it. What are you dawdling about for!”
“No, no!” Old man Qingyi’s entire body trembled as he hurriedly said.
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed as he continued to ask, “Then where did you find out?”
“Yes … it’s Tai Yinsi …”
“It was Old man Qingyi who told me that Tai Yinsi and Su Rou, as well as … the child, were all dead …” Xiao Zhufeng’s face turned pale and he said with a trembling voice, “It was Xiao Zhufeng who told me that Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou, as well as the child, are dead …”
“Did Tai Yinsi tell you?”
Hua Weiyang’s eyes narrowed as he raised his sword and coldly asked, “Did Tai Yinsi see it with his own eyes? What are you stunned for? Speak!”
“I, I …”
Old man Qingyi’s face was deathly pale as he carefully recalled what had happened back then. In the end, he suddenly raised his head and said, “At that time, Tai Yinsi was already heavily injured. He … he shouldn’t be able to catch up with the speed of the three of them.”
Hua Weiyang’s gaze narrowed as he coldly said, “In other words, Tai Yinsi actually didn’t see Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou die at Tai Huazi’s hands?”
Old man Qingyi stared blankly for a moment before nodding, “It should be like this. No one really knows about what happened back then. I heard everything from Tai Yinsi … only afterwards …”
“What happened afterwards? Speak!”
Hua Weiyang’s gaze was cold and the tip of his sword was against his throat. Old man Qingyi was so scared that his entire body trembled and he said in a trembling voice, “Later, I heard that Daoist Taihua was seriously injured. I don’t know … I don’t know if it’s true … After all, there are too few people who can seriously injure Daoist Taihua …”
After hearing that, Hua Weiyang slowly withdrew his sword, glanced at Xiao Chen, and then coldly said to Old man Qingyi, “What’s Heavenless Palace’s next move?”
Perhaps it was because of the death aura that Xiao Chen had poured into his body. Old man Qingyi trembled and said with a pale face, “I don’t know about Daoist Taihua, but I suppose … he shouldn’t come out. At least not at this time … As for Tai Yinsi, I think … he’ll probably come back again.”
“Is that so?”
Hua Weiyang’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but recall who the mysterious black-robed man was in the woods that day in Spirit Ruins Realm. Not only did this person know who he was, he was also very familiar with the Nether Race. He was definitely not a little Tai Yinsi like Palace Master …
