As the Universe Turns - Chapter 910
Chapter 910 Tianzhu City
In the entire Ghost City, Suddenly, it became very quiet. Not even a single breeze blew past for several miles. The auras of the three people above the city were too strong. At this moment, behind a mountain not far from where Xiao Chen came from, there was a figure. It was none other than Patriarch Guiyin. He had followed Xiao Chen all the way here, but he never expected to encounter the Yin Ghost King and the three of them here.
Although his cultivation had just broken through a while ago and he wouldn’t be afraid of dealing with any of the four of them alone, the four of them were together at the same time …
After a long time, a small seal formed on his hand and he instantly turned into a black wind and flew into the distance.
On the other side of Ghost City, Fairy Red Butterfly slowly regained her senses. She looked at the two people beside her and said, “That person has left.”
“Mm …”
Baimei Shangren stroked his beard and turned around to look in the direction where Xiao Chen left. Seeing that his face was filled with uncertainty, Fairy Red Butterfly smiled charmingly, “Senior White-browed, don’t worry, that kid is so interesting … He probably won’t be able to escape from my palm, hehe.”
Baimei Shangren frowned and looked at her. “Do you know who he is?”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled and said, “For the time being … I don’t know yet, but I think he should have been pursued by the Heavenless Palace …”
“Heavenless Palace” The Longevity Sect Master lowered his head and pondered. At this moment, a cold and gloomy expression flashed in his eyes.
A moment later, Baimei Shangren turned to the Yin Ghost King and asked, “I wonder what the Ghost King thinks? If that person were to accompany him this time, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. After all, the Ghost King saw him just now. That brat is not afraid of the Yin Ghost Qi at all …”
“Humph!”
The Dark Ghost King snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, “If you don’t trust this king, then why are you looking for this king today? Forget it. Since you’ve come, why don’t you settle your past debts first?”
“Ghost King, don’t be angry …”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled charmingly and said, “It’s not that we don’t believe in the Ghost King. Furthermore, the Ghost King knows in his heart what kind of place is in Acheron Valley. Isn’t it safer to have that brat accompanying him? If the Ghost King hesitates any longer and lets others get there first, then it’s not good …”
“I don’t think it’s appropriate …”
At this moment, the Longevity Sect Master suddenly said, “Not to mention whether that brat really can withstand Acheron Valley’s Underworld aura, I think his cultivation is still far from that of a Quasi-Sage. He hasn’t even reached the Quasi-Sage realm yet. Isn’t he going there to die? It doesn’t matter if he dies, but I’m afraid that he’ll implicate us in the end …”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled gently and looked at him, “Sect Master Longevity, don’t underestimate that person just now. If you really make a move, even Sect Master Longevity might not dare to say that you will win …”
“Is that so?”
The Longevity Sect Master sneered and said, “Then how can Fairy Red Butterfly be sure that that brat will definitely step into Acheron Valley?”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled softly and said, “He will naturally go …”
“Heh …”
The Longevity Sect Master sneered again, “Why is Fairy so confident? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to that pretty boy?”
“Oh?”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled softly and deliberately looked to the side. She muttered to herself, “With this, that little fellow seems to have a pure Yang Qi in his body. Compared to those fellows who have a heavy Yin Qi all day long, I think it’s much better …”
“What are you talking about?”
Hearing what she said about him, the Longevity Sect Master’s eyes immediately turned cold. Baimei Shangren stepped forward in time to stop the two of them from arguing further.
“Forget it. I don’t think the two of you need to fight here anymore. We need to do this as soon as possible. Once the ‘Tidal Day’ arrives and Acheron Valley’s Underworld aura completely dissipates, then everyone will be able to enter. There will be no point in doing so …”
“Heh …”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled. He flicked his sleeves and flew off into the distance. A sentence came from afar, “Acheron Valley will see you in three days. I will bring that brat with me. As for the Yin Ghost King, you killed more than 130 people in our sect last month. Now, we are even. From now on, the Blissful Boulevard and the Ghost Heaven City well will not go against each other.”
The silhouette gradually disappeared, and the voice slowly disappeared.
…
This evening, Xiao Chen had arrived at Hill of Illusory Ruins, the largest city in Tianzhu City.
Tianzhu City was originally meant to be exiled by the heavens and left to perish. Ten thousand years ago, this place was filled with natural disasters and corpses. Birds and beasts were extinct. It was a place abandoned by the heavens. No one could survive here.
However, it was unknown which year, a strange person came to this place, changed the previous pattern, named this place “Heaven Pursuing”, and then founded “Tianzhu Palace”.
Over the next few thousand years, under Tianzhu Palace’s leadership, Tianzhu City grew stronger and stronger, slowly becoming the largest city in Hill of Illusory Ruins. All forces gathered in this city, and even today, most of the people in Tianzhu City still disrespected the gods, refused to worship the Immortal Buddha, and regarded the heavens as inhumane.
If Hill of Illusory Ruins was one of the most chaotic places in Spirit Ruins Realm, then Tianzhu City was one of the strictest places in Hill of Illusory Ruins.
Outside of Tianzhu City, there were only cruel laws of the jungle. Whether it was killing people, seizing treasures, or robbing other people’s dual cultivation companions, or even like the Yin Ghost King, he waved his sleeve and sacrificed everyone in the city to sacrifice their blood souls to cultivate, no one would care about it …
Of course, when doing these things, he had to be ready to be killed at any time.
Compared to the chaos outside, Tianzhu City was completely different. Everyone who entered Tianzhu City had to follow the rules. If they wanted to challenge Tianzhu City’s rules, then the end result would often be death.
A hundred years ago, a Quasi-Saint came from Yu Ding and chased after two Harmonious cultivators who had fled into the city. However, the next day, the two Harmonious cultivators were still alive, and the Quasi-Saint’s corpse was already hanging high above the city wall.
No one knows who did this, Some people guessed that it was someone from Tianzhu Palace, but they couldn’t find any fatal wounds on the corpse of the Quasi-Sage. There wasn’t even a single wound on the corpse. This matter had become a big mystery for Tianzhu City, but ever since then, no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, they would never dare to kill anyone in the city recklessly.
At this moment, twilight shrouded Xiao Chen as he slowly entered the city. As soon as he entered the city, his sharp divine sense noticed that the city’s Spiritual Energy was extremely abnormal. It completely exceeded the Spiritual Energy that a city should possess.
However, deep underground, he could not feel the existence of spiritual veins. Since there were no spiritual veins underground, why was there such a strong Spiritual Energy in the entire city? Almost ten times more than an ordinary city …
The red clouds on the horizon slowly rose, Xiao Chen raised his head. Looking at the sky shrouded in the clouds, he had naturally inquired clearly before coming. Tianzhu Palace was not in the city, but, like Lustless Heaven, hung over the sky. Normally, it was covered by clouds. Normally, one would not be able to see it from below. Ordinary people would not be able to go up there. Unless something big happened, the people of Tianzhu Palace would not come down.
However, Hill of Illusory Ruins had come to Xiao Chen this time to look for clues about his father and Three Corpse Demon. Whether it was Tianzhu City or Tianzhu Palace, none of this had anything to do with him.
The entire Tianzhu City was very large. After entering the city, it was almost boundless. If there were no sun, moon, or stars on a rainy day, it would be extremely easy to get lost in the city.
That night, the stars and moon were clear. When night fell, Xiao Chen arrived in front of a brightly lit pavilion. The word “Illusory Moon” could be clearly seen on the plaque, which was somewhat similar to Dingfeng City in Lady Rakshasa, Fengman Attic. From the outside, it looked like a gorgeous land of wind and moon, but inside, there was something else.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Chen smelled a strong smell of rouge. Then, two beautiful young women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over and said, “Childe, please …”
“Yo … I think there’s an honored guest here tonight.”
At this time, another woman in red walked over and gave the two young women a look. The two of them nodded slightly and immediately went to another place to greet the guests.
Afterwards, the woman in red smiled and said, “This little Childe came to the Illusory Moon Square. I wonder if he is …”
“Ming Ren, don’t speak in secret. I’m here to inquire about the two of them.”
“Oh? I wonder who Childe is inquiring about …”
The woman in red looked at him with interest. Xiao Chen said indifferently, “More than forty years ago, to be exact … forty-four years ago, around Chongyang.”
Hearing that it was more than 40 years ago, the woman in red immediately revealed a bitter smile. “Isn’t Little Childe joking? If you inquired about the people and things that happened a few years ago, I would immediately be able to find them for you. However, over 40 years ago …”
“What?”
Xiao Chen glanced at her and said indifferently, “I heard people say that they want to ask for information. As long as they come to your Illusory Moon Square, they can find information from both heaven and earth. Could it be that it doesn’t live up to their name?”
“This …”
The woman in red smiled bitterly and said, “Whatever. The person Childe wants to inquire about is probably not simple. Why don’t you tell us about the two of them?”
Xiao Chen said, “A man, a woman, and a baby who hasn’t even reached full moon, came from Yu Ding and was chased after by someone …”
“Oh …”
The woman in red thought for a moment and smiled, “Childe, please enter the pavilion for a moment. I will immediately send someone to investigate …”
Xiao Chen followed her into the room. The room was decorated with luxury and prosperity. There were also two young women waiting in the room. After Xiao Chen ordered the two women to leave, he flicked his sleeves and closed the door and window. He ignored the noise outside and began to ponder on his own.
This Illusory Moon Square seemed to be a land of romance and night parties, but in reality, the people who came here were more likely to inquire about information that was difficult for them to find out. No matter what kind of information it was, even if it was heaven or earth, the Illusory Moon Square could still inquire about it. Of course, those who inquired about the information would have to pay a certain amount of reward.
Apart from that, the Illusory Moon Square also took on assassination missions, and even everything that could be seen was a shameful business.
After midnight, Xiao Chen was still drinking in his room. The noise outside gradually subsided. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose and pushed open the door. In the room, a woman dressed in red had already appeared. She was standing behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen naturally noticed that someone had entered the room, but he still drank the wine in his hand slowly. Then, he slowly said, “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect that we would meet again before midnight.”
“Haha …”
That woman was none other than Fairy Red Butterfly, one of the three during the day.
At this moment, she slowly walked up and gently placed her hands on Xiao Chen’s shoulders. As she slowly poured wine into the glass, she whispered in his ear, “What a coincidence, but why didn’t you tell me that Childe came to my Illusory Moon Square …” At the end of her sentence, her slender jade fingers gently held the wine bottle and handed it to his lips.
Xiao Chen took the wine cup from her hand and shook his shoulder. He pushed her away from behind. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup. He said indifferently, “So this is the Fairy’s place. Please come here personally. I believe the Fairy has already found out the information I want …”
“Heh …”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled gently. With a flick of her sleeve, she arrived in front of him and leaned against the table in front of him. However, her gaze remained motionless. Her chest rose and fell as she breathed. Her face was flushed with a smile. Compared to what she had seen during the day, it was much more charming and charming.
‘”An ordinary man would lose three souls and seven souls if he looked at me again. But Childe has remained indifferent since I came in. He’s like a piece of wood. It’s really boring …”
As she spoke, she slowly stretched out her hand and gently supported Xiao Chen’s chin. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on her hand. His tone was somewhat cold, “I came to the Illusory Moon Square to inquire about information …”
“Pu …”
Fairy Red Butterfly retracted his hand like a bolt of lightning and covered his mouth with a smile, “Childe is quite cute when he gets angry … Forget it, I’ll just listen to you. But before that, Childe has to tell me, what’s your relationship with Xiao Zhufeng …”
Xiao Chen looked at her motionlessly. The air in the room suddenly turned cold as if it was about to freeze. Fairy Red Butterfly shook his hand and smiled, “Forget it, I don’t need to ask. Forty-four years ago, after Double Sun, Xiao Zhufeng was chased to Hill of Illusory Ruins and finally entered a place called ‘Acheron Valley’.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. “Acheron Valley?”
Fairy Red Butterfly sat up and slowly walked to the window. Looking at the crescent moon outside the window, he said indifferently, “That’s right. It’s said that Acheron Valley connects to the Nether Realm, but Xiao Zhufeng never came out after he went in that year.”
