As the Universe Turns - Chapter 902
Chapter 902 Back then, There Were Doubts
“The most poisonous poison in the world. Hehe, good, what a poisonous poison in the world. I look forward to seeing you next time …”
Xiahou Jie sneered twice. He leaned on the poisonous scorpion staff and turned to look at Xiahou Yu. “Yu’er, let’s go!”
“Master … Master …”
Xiahou Yu’s face was still a little pale. Finally, he looked at Xiao Chen and then at Qin Lian in the distance. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, but he could only clench his fingers and clench his teeth as he followed Master.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiahou Jie’s departing figure and his eyes gradually became sharp. I am also looking forward to seeing you again the next time, Poison Saint, Zang Fengyun …
At this moment, a black Heart Execution Flame rose from his palm and instantly burned the poison pill to ashes.
As for Xiahou Jie and his apprentice and the twenty plus disciples of the Poisonous Scorpion Hall, their group gradually disappeared into the darkness of the Qinling Mountains.
“Young Hero Xiao …”
Qin Guan slowly looked at Xiao Chen. Actually, from noon until now, everything that had happened was still like a dream. He still couldn’t figure out how Xiao Chen did it. Even though he was a cauldron, how did he condense Xiahou Jie’s poison into a poison pill in just three hours?
If it was an ordinary person, they would have died in three hours, but Xiao Chen was not an ordinary person.
Not only was Three Corpse Demon hibernating in his body, there was also a life and death backlash from manipulating life and death. In addition, he had also introduced a strand of grandmist purple energy he had obtained from Wuwang Sea into his body. Therefore, his body was already like a furnace cauldron. It was not difficult for him to endure those poisons with himself as the cauldron. Of course, this was only one of them.
Secondly, in the past three hours, he had used his extremely sharp divine sense to locate every strand of poison. Xiahou Jie’s poison instantly transformed into countless strands of poison that seeped into his body. If an ordinary person did not have an extremely sharp divine sense, how could he locate these poisons?
It took him nearly three hours to find all of these poisons. Then, he attached an extremely fine strand of True Qi to each strand of poison. Then, he used the Nine Transformations Technique that Shen Jing taught him to condense all of these poisons. Finally, he used the Samadhi True Fire in his body to condense them into a poison pill.
Each of these steps was extremely dangerous. If he was a little careless, it would be hard to imagine what kind of accident would happen.
And when he finally asked Xiahou Jie, what was the most poisonous poison in the world?
Sometimes, the most poisonous thing in the world was actually unable to reach the heart of a person. His heart might have long died, so why was he afraid of all the poisons in the world? It was probably because of this that he was able to successfully condense a poison pill.
“Little friend Xiao, may I ask which sect you are from?”
Just as the crowd was quiet, the voice of an old man suddenly came from not far away. The person who spoke was a white-bearded old man with a whisk in his hand and a cyan robe. It was precisely the “Azure Jade Temple Master” that Qin Guan had called him earlier.
At this moment, the people from the Qinling forces outside looked at him. They recalled that he had said that he was not from the Xiao Clan and that his name was given by his master. Then, who exactly was his master?
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “In the past, I once worshipped a profound sect, but now I am alone, without a sect or sect …”
Hearing what he said, everyone was puzzled. Madam Red Lotus, who was standing not far from the Azure Jade Temple Master, was about to ask something. Qin Guan immediately walked up and smiled at everyone. “It’s already late today, and all of your friends have come from afar. Why don’t you let someone Qin take care of you and rest in our manor for a while?”
Hearing this, everyone was very tactful and stopped asking further questions. Madam Red Lotus smiled and said, “I saw something strange today. We were originally here to take a look. Since we are fine now, then we won’t disturb the Qin Clan Master anymore.”
“Poverty Dao also needs to return to the temple. That good friend, see you another day …”
“Patriarch Qin, see you another day!”
The Fallen Snow Villa was fine, and the few Qinling forces that came today did not stay any longer. They all rode their swords in the same direction as before.
Qin Guan looked in the direction where the dozens of sword lights had disappeared. He gradually frowned. Although he had just hinted a few times, he still hoped that they wouldn’t reveal anything about today. After all, if the Heavenless Palace were to find out Xiao Chen’s whereabouts, it would probably bring Xiao Chen danger and trouble.
“Young Hero Xiao …”
After a while, Qin Guan turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, “Xiahou Jie and his apprentice have already left. Let’s go back to the manor. It’s all thanks to Young Hero Xiao for today’s matter …”
The night fell. At this moment, Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance and nodded slightly.
Returning to the manor, he continued to inquire about his father being hunted down back then. As Qin Guan spoke, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, “Back then, Hero Xiao was righteous. In the past, several forces from the Snow Region invaded the Qin Mountains. That year, he passed through the Qin Mountains. It was he who fought back those experts from the Snow Region that allowed the Qin Family to be protected …”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “At that time, Hero Xiao was still very young. I have never seen such a young man with such attainments. Later, I found out that he was actually one of the Ten Saints, Xiao Zhufeng. Since then, the word Xiao Zhufeng has become one of the most feared names in the Snow Domain …”
Even though it had been many years, when Qin Guan told these past events, his eyes were still filled with the same fervor as before. The youngest Ten Saints, that person was the youngest Ten Saints …
Taking a deep breath, Qin Guan looked at the hazy crescent moon outside the window. Even the moonlight seemed to carry some sorrow as he continued, “So I don’t believe that Hero Xiao would kill for the sake of stealing a spot in Ancient Immortal Realm. He must have been … framed.”
At this point, Qin Guan clenched his fingers and turned around. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Young Hero Xiao, what happened to your father back then was a mystery. No one knows what the Heavenless Palace was for. But now, Young Hero Xiao, you must be careful. If anything happens, as long as you speak, someone Qin will risk his life and go through fire and water to help …”
Xiao Chen could tell that Qin Guan was not lying. “Thank you, Old Master Qin, for your kindness, but” he said.
At this point, he stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the frosty crescent moon in the sky. At this moment, even the moonlight seemed to carry a cold murderous aura. “I will definitely find out about my father back then …”
He wanted to find out not only about his father back then, but also who planted the Three Corpse Demon on his body. Few people knew about the Three Corpse Demon in his body, and even Heavenless Palace and Tai Yinsi didn’t know about it.
As Qin Guan spoke, he walked out of the courtyard and gradually disappeared into the moonlight. “It’s already late at night. Young Hero Xiao is much more tired today. I won’t disturb your rest anymore …”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and sat back at the windowsill. Originally, he had worked hard for a day today, but at night, he was still a little tired. However, late at night, he heard about his parents back then, and now he didn’t have the mood to sleep anymore.
Father is a hero, and mother is the most gentle and beautiful person in the world …
Scenes after scenes appeared in his mind. Those fragments of the dream appeared again. Those two unfamiliar, familiar, blurry, and clear figures …
The night was cold, and the silent wind was knocking on the fallen leaves in the courtyard, layer by layer, covering his heart.
Thinking back to what Qin Guan said during the day, he was born in this Fallen Snow Villa on that snowy night more than 40 years ago, and the night he was born, the entire ancient land of Xianyuan was born with a natural phenomenon …
At that time, there were two groups of people chasing after his father. Not long after the first group was repelled, the second group came again. However, at that time, his father was already seriously injured. According to Qin Guan, the second group of people died inexplicably when that strange phenomenon appeared on that day, and they couldn’t even find fatal wounds on their bodies …
It sounded like the words of ghosts and gods, as if those people had all died under a strange phenomenon, because that night, there was no one else outside the Fallen Snow Villa other than his father.
However, Xiao Chen did not believe that such a mysterious thing would cause him to die from an abnormal phenomenon? It sounded interesting, but he didn’t believe in ghosts and gods. He didn’t believe in such a ridiculous thing. How did those people die? Then there is only one possibility …
That night, at the same time that the phenomenon appeared in the sky, a person appeared outside the Fallen Snow Manor. That person was already a Saint. This person killed without a trace, so he could not find any fatal wounds on those people …
