As the Universe Turns - Chapter 886
Chapter 886 Re-encounter Xiao Cangtian
“Take care of yourself …”
On the cold and gloomy mountain, Tai Yinsi’s miserable screams echoed out. Wentian’s eyes were calm as he kicked his feet. He completely ignored the layers of restrictions on Mount Tai Yin and took the puppet behind him outside.
In the cold night, everyone in Taiyin Palace was silent. In front of Taiyin Palace, only Tai Yinsi’s miserable screams could be heard.
…
Three days later, Lustless Heaven’s array Spiritual Energy gradually regained its calm. The souls of the disciples had already been extradited back. Unfortunately, if they lost their cultivation in this life, they could only return to Samsara in the next life and extradite back to the sect if they were unable to recondense their bodies.
That night, the stars and moons dimmed. Xiao Chen sat alone in the cold hall. Lustless Heaven suffered heavy losses this time because of Taiyin Palace. He would not let this matter go so easily, but before that, he needed to find someone.
At this moment, he was still holding the Soul Jade that was left behind by Ku Lingzi when he was captured. The last sentence echoed in his mind, “Kid, you should already have some understanding of the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. Now, why don’t you go back to the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World and take a look? Perhaps there will be some harvest. Do you know what I’m talking about?” In the past, you have been there. Also, if you find that strange senior who passed on the Heavenly Book to you in the past, perhaps he will be of some help to you … ”
He knew that Ku Lingzi was referring to Tomb of Gods and Demons. Back then, when he went to the Eastern Continent, he and Luo Die were hunted down by people from Immortal Alliance. In the end, he was forced to enter Tomb of Gods and Demons helplessly.
It was a relatively complete fragment left behind after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered. Moreover, the size of Tomb of Gods and Demons was definitely not the same as what he had seen last time.
But now, he had to find Xiao Cangtian first. Not long after Lustless Heaven was founded, Xiao Cangtian left alone. He had not heard from Xianyuan Five Realms for all these years and probably wasn’t in Xianyuan Five Realms.
But now, the world is in chaos, and all forces are watching from the side. This time, Ku Lingzi has captured True Monarch Xuanxiao. The current Lustless Heaven seems to be powerful, causing both the Righteous and the Devil to fear it. But in reality, it has to be admitted that Lustless Heaven has a faint tendency to be stronger from the outside than from the inside …
So this time, He had to think of a way to invite Xiao Cangtian back. Although he knew that Xiao Cangtian had been heavily injured by his master’s Profound Heaven Finger, causing his consciousness to occasionally lose its balance, his cultivation was still there. Few people had been able to compare to him back then. Now, his cultivation should be even more unfathomable. Even though he might still be a bit lacking from becoming a Saint, he was definitely not an ordinary Quasi-Saint.
The night was getting dark. Layers of coldness penetrated through the window. The candles in the hall flashed slightly. At this moment, a soft sound of footsteps sounded from outside. Immediately after, a figure walked in. Under the dim light, it was vaguely clear that the person’s appearance was Bai Luan.
“Bai Luan, you’re back.”
Xiao Chen was still sitting on the chair and did not get up. He looked at her and said, “But there is news about Senior?”
“Back to Excellency …”
Bai Luan walked up and cupped her hands. “Just now, Zi Yuan sent back the news and found traces of Senior Xiao Cangtian in Qizhou …”
“Qizhou?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Qi Zhou was in the direction of the Central Plains in the southern region of Xianyuan. It was relatively close to Yu Xu Guan, one of the Four Great Mysterious Sects. How could Senior Qi appear there?
“Are you sure?”
“Right now, apart from Excellency, only Senior Xiao Cangtian knows the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique. There shouldn’t be any mistakes.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen immediately stood up. He had always trusted Night Shade’s judgement. This time, there shouldn’t be any mistakes. No matter why Senior appeared in Qizhou, he had to go first.
However, just as he was about to take a step forward, his face suddenly turned pale and he coughed violently. Seeing this, Bai Luan’s expression changed slightly and he immediately helped him up, “Excellency!”
“Nothing …”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and quickly stabilized his breathing. Bai Luan immediately took out a bottle of pills from her sleeve. However, Xiao Chen shook his head, “No need, I can’t rely on pills every time …”
As he spoke, he went outside and said, “I’ll go to Qizhou first. I’ll leave the matter of Lustless Heaven to you for the time being.”
“Your Excellency …”
Bai Luan watched as he left. It turned out that Xiao Chen had come out early that day. If he came out a step later, even True Monarch Xuanxiao would have captured Shen Jing.
However, it was precisely because he was a moment ahead of schedule that he left behind a backlash. If it weren’t for his profound strength, he would probably have backlashed on the spot. Only Bai Luan and Zi Yuan knew about this matter, but Xiao Chen told the two of them not to tell anyone, especially Wei Yang.
At this moment, Bai Luan watched him gradually disappear into the night. At this moment, he did not know what kind of feeling he felt. Perhaps it was really as Zi Yuan had said, this normally cold and heartless man seemed to be unable to approach anyone, but he was like a Moon on that cold night, illuminating the entire Lustless Heaven by himself …
However, there were times when she couldn’t experience it. She clearly possessed extremely high abilities, but she had to endure Three Corpse Demon’s torment day and night. It was as if every day was countdown, countdown to the day when Three Corpse Demon erupted, countdown to the day when his life ended. However, he would never … never compromise with anyone.
Perhaps this was the reason why she chose to stay in Lustless Heaven …
…
Qi Zhou was in the direction of the Central Plains in the southern region of Xianyuan. There were many mountains and it was like spring all year round. However, the mountains in many places were quite steep, especially in the deep mountains. There were even many ghosts and ghosts that ate people. Therefore, few people usually went to the deep mountains of Qi Zhou.
At this moment, in a tall mountain range, there was a flash of light in the sky from time to time. Looking closely, there were two fighting techniques. One was green and the other was red. As they neared, the mountain peak shattered, and hundreds of beasts fled. The dust between heaven and earth began to rise.
One of the people covered in blood mist was Xiao Cangtian, who was known as the Nine Yin Blood Demon. The other person was wearing a green robe and stood on his sword. He looked like Immortal Bimiao, but he didn’t know who he was. He wore a battle robe hat on his head, but he didn’t reveal his true appearance.
‘”Hahaha! Feng Xuanzhi, you’re getting more and more daring. There’s no one else here. Why don’t you take off that ragged robe? Hide your head and show your tail. I think it fits the word’hide’ in your Cangfeng Valley! Hahaha!”
Amidst the loud laughter, Xiao Cangtian’s palms trembled, and the boundless wilderness instantly erupted with a strong bloody mist. The battle-robed man condensed his fingers and several streaks of green sword light flew away. With a few “chi chi chi” sounds, he instantly broke through the bloody mist that covered the sky.
This person’s sword moved with his heart. His sword qi was extremely fierce, and his path of cultivation wasn’t shallow. In the past few moments, the mountain peaks of Qizhou had been shattered by the battle between the two of them, but the outcome was still undecided.
“Zheng!”
Another sharp sound rang out. That person condensed his Qi into a sword, and several sword lights flew towards Xiao Cangtian. This sword was no small matter. It was the Mahayana Realm of the Imperial Sword, and it was definitely not something an ordinary Xuanmen could emit. Even though Xiao Cangtian’s cultivation was extraordinary, he would never forcefully receive it.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
After a few sharp sounds, Xiao Cangtian landed on another mountain peak. He was about to use the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique, but his chest was stuffy. He was severely injured by Ling Yin’s finger that year, leaving behind a backlash that had yet to heal. However, this backlash did not come too late, so it had to come at this time, causing the profound energy he had gathered to dissipate into nothingness.
The battle-robed man saw that he had suffered a backlash, and killing intent appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to send out his sword, seven or eight streaks of bloody light suddenly shot towards him from the shadows.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
These rays of bloody light came ferociously. With his knowledge, he immediately knew that this was not a hidden weapon, but an extremely powerful magic treasure. He had no choice but to dodge sideways. Unexpectedly, after the first wave of bloody needles attacked, the next wave came like rain. “Chi!” With a sharp sound, a blood needle shot into his left shoulder.
The battle-robed man’s body trembled violently. He raised his right palm and placed it on his left shoulder. In the next moment, he disappeared.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was the one who issued the needles in the dark. Seeing that person escape, he also walked out of the dark. Xiao Cangtian did not expect it to be him. His expression was startled, “Brat … How could it be you?”
“I heard from the sect that Senior is in Qizhou, so I came to take a look …” Xiao Chen slowly walked up the mountain and said, “Senior, are you alright just now?”
“Mm … I’m fine.”
Xiao Cangtian slowly suppressed the backlash. It had been more than ten years since Xiao Chen arrived at his side. Now that he saw him again, he would still be unable to help but think back to the past …
“Right, that person just now … who is he?”
“Him? Humph!”
Xiao Cangtian coldly snorted, “It’s most likely Cangfeng Valley Feng Xuanzhi, hiding his head and tail all day long …”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen looked in the direction that the man had escaped from. He retrieved the Blood Transformation Needle from the ground and said, “He was hit by a Blood Transformation Needle just now. Even if he couldn’t hurt his life, it would still be enough for him …”
As he spoke, a cold light shone in his eyes, but he quickly recovered. As for Feng Xuanzhi, Cangfeng Valley of Grand Patriarch, he knew that this person was very strong.
But now, he was still unsure if this person had done what happened to Ning Village back then. He hadn’t been to Cangfeng Valley these past few years because he was afraid of this person’s cultivation. Secondly, Cangfeng Valley had an ancient sword and most likely a sword formation. It wasn’t wise to rashly go forward.
After all, they were the Four Great Mysterious Sects, and their foundation was so strong that they were definitely not seen from the outside.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Cangtian and slowly changed the topic, “Speaking of which, it has been many years since I saw Senior … Where did Senior go these past few years?”
Xiao Cangtian looked into the distance and said, “Outside the Five Regions, the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates, I went to see some old friends. I thought they were all dead, but I didn’t expect that each of them would be better off than the other …”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen did not expect that Senior Blame would actually know people from the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates. Xuanxiao Palace and Netherworld Dao were the forces within the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates.
Xiao Cangtian looked at him and said, “Brat, what have you done all these years? How is the Lustless Heaven you founded now?”
“I’m ashamed … Lustless Heaven, something happened not long ago.”
“Huh?”
Xiao Cangtian’s expression froze. He didn’t ask what was going on. Instead, he asked, “Did you ever return to Xuanqing Sect?”
“Back to Xuanqing Sect?” Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked in Xuanqing Sect’s direction, “What am I doing back in Xuanqing Sect …”
Xiao Cangtian said, “Isn’t your master there? Who would dare to offend her if she attacked?”
“Senior, could it be that you have forgotten that at the Heavenly Gate that day, she severed her master-apprentice relationship with me?” Xiao Chen looked at the distant green mountain and said calmly.
“There seems to be such a thing …”
Xiao Cangtian slowly recalled that day and coldly snorted, “That’s good. In the future, when I go to seek revenge on her, you won’t make things difficult for me …”
Xiao Chen remained silent. Actually, he still didn’t want to see Senior Blame fighting with Master. Although Senior Blame was very powerful, he was most likely no match for Master now. And Master had never shown mercy to the people in Diabolism.
“Oh right, actually this time” Xiao Chen changed the topic and said, “I came to Qizhou to invite Senior back to Lustless Heaven this time …”
“Back to Lustless Heaven?”
Xiao Cangtian looked at him and immediately shook his hand. “No, no, no. That Lustless Heaven is hanging so high. It’s blocked by a restriction outside. It’s stuffy all day. I can’t go.”
“Senior, wait a moment …”
Seeing that he had walked far away, Xiao Chen immediately chased after him. However, just as he was about to say something, his chest suddenly became stuffy. Immediately after, a faint black gas appeared on his left wrist.
Xiao Cangtian noticed his abnormality at this moment and instantly returned to his side. His right hand shot out like lightning and pressed down on his left wrist. His expression immediately changed, “What a powerful Three Corpse Demon! Who is so vicious? Tell me, I’ll go kill him!”
Xiao Chen’s face turned pale as he smiled, “I’m afraid that person … even Senior isn’t his match.”
