As the Universe Turns - Chapter 917
Chapter 917 Abyss Bottom
Before the girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the woman in white, “Xiao Ling’er, stop.”
“Ah …”
The girl was slightly stunned. She raised her head, but seeing her sister’s cold expression, she did not continue. However, the person opposite her also looked cold. She was truly afraid that the two of them would fight over their spiritual veins here.
“People from the Xiao Clan …”
Xiao Chen had already guessed that the people on the other side were from the Xiao Clan. The girl in a pale red dress was Xiao Ling’er, so the woman in white next to her was the number one person in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Meng’er.
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other across the abyss, just like the mountain peaks on both sides of the abyss. They had faced each other for tens of thousands of years, and neither of their gazes had moved the slightest bit away.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Zi Yuan’s palm gradually condensed true energy. Before this, she and Bai Luan had thought that perhaps Heavenless Palace could use Excellency as a temporary shelter under the pursuit of Xiao Clan. However, after learning about this “number one person in Xiao Clan”, she knew that it was impossible.
The wind blew up coldly from the cliff. Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Meng’er. He said indifferently, “Just now, you said that I can’t move the spirit veins here. What? There is the word ‘Xiao Clan’ written on this spirit vein?”
“You …”
Hearing this, the few Xiao Clan disciples behind Xiao Meng’er all stood forward and stared at Xiao Chen. They wondered where such an ungrateful person came from!
Xiao Meng’er raised her hand and stopped the few people behind her. She looked at Xiao Chen from across the abyss. Her tone was calm as she said, “I saw that you were about to touch the spiritual veins of this place. I was in a hurry to say this. The spiritual veins here are called ‘You Quan’. I investigated them for several years before I found out that you were in Acheron Valley and followed them for several days before coming to this abyss. I only hope that you would not interfere.”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen looked at her and said in the same indifferent voice, “I’ve heard you say a lot. It seems like the meaning behind your words is not much different from what you said before …”
At this moment, a cold light flashed in Xiao Meng’er’s eyes. She said calmly, “That’s roughly the case.”
“Forget it …”
Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and said indifferently, “If I were to say that I’ve been tracking the spirit veins here for a few days, I won’t allow anyone else to touch me. So what do you do?”
“You …”
Hearing this, the few people behind Xiao Meng’er even stood forward, and one of them even pointed at him, “You’re so presumptuous! Do you know what kind of status Miss is? Talk to you properly, don’t be so sinister!”
At this time, Zi Yuan also walked forward and said coldly, “Your Excellency is also good at talking to you. If you point again, I will cut off your hand!”
Seeing the dispute between the two sides, the young girl Xiao Ling’er had no choice but to be anxious. She did not know how to persuade her. At this moment, she suddenly saw Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er rushing towards the bottom of the abyss. The people on both sides had yet to react, and they no longer saw their falling figures.
“Your Excellency …”
Zi Yuan was slightly stunned and couldn’t think too much about it. At this moment, she immediately rushed towards the bottom of the abyss. On the opposite cliff, the Xiao Clan members were all shocked and wanted to follow. However, when they arrived at the edge of the cliff, they felt the dangerous aura coming from below and quickly stopped.
“Sister, she …”
Xiao Ling’er came to the edge of the cliff, but this cliff was too high. There was a suffocating aura of danger under the abyss. She did not have enough cultivation and did not dare to jump down like this.
“Third Miss, let’s see if there’s anywhere else we can go.”
At this moment, a young man walked up from behind. Although they had more or less some cultivation, if it was an ordinary abyss, they could easily fly down. However, Spiritual Bloodline Force was somewhat powerful here, and most likely, there was the power to tear apart the void below. If they rashly went down like this, without Eldest Young Miss’s ability, they would definitely be torn to shreds by Void Power.
“Mm-hmm.”
Xiao Ling’er nodded forcefully. It could be seen that she was a little worried, not because she was worried that Xiao Meng’er would encounter danger below, but because she was afraid that she would fight with the person just now.
Although her cultivation was not high, she possessed a skill that no one could compare to. She was able to easily discern a person’s cultivation, but just now, she was completely unable to see through the cultivation of the person opposite the cliff …
…
The abyss seemed bottomless. Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er fell down like meteors and lightning. It was obvious that they wanted to see who could get down before the other party.
When they approached the bottom of the abyss, both of their speed had reached their limits. However, at this moment, a terrifying Void Power suddenly surged towards the two of them. Under such a speed, even a Quasi-Sage would have to be shattered into pieces.
However, at this moment, the two of them were too fast. Even if they stopped, they were still in midair and had nowhere to borrow their strength. At this critical moment, Xiao Chen instantly used his free hand to grab a huge rock and pulled it. The rock instantly shattered, but it caused his entire body to move ten zhang away and dodge the Void Power in an instant.
Looking at Xiao Meng’er again, almost at the same time that he used his Great Freedom Hand, he instantly took out a white jade lotus platform. However, when he saw the extraordinary splendor on the lotus platform, it was obvious that it was the most precious treasure of the Immortal Clan. He immediately carried her to the side and dodged.
In an instant, the two of them dodged the spatial tearing force. After exchanging glances, they continued to charge towards the bottom of the abyss. However, the deeper they descended, the denser and more terrifying the Void Power became.
Xiao Meng’er stepped on the White Jade Immortal Lotus like a gale and lightning, avoiding Void Power again and again and heading straight to the bottom of the abyss. How could an ordinary person do that?
Looking at Xiao Chen, he also used Ling Xian Step to the extreme. His entire body was like a dazzling figure. With the help of the rocks on both sides of the cliff, he could barely see the afterimages left behind by him, not even his true self.
Finally, it was less than a hundred feet away from the bottom of the abyss. There was no longer any space tearing force that could obstruct it. Xiao Meng’er jumped down from the White Jade Lotus Stage, and Xiao Chen used the Ling Xian Steps. The two of them landed at almost the same moment.
The terrain below was much wider, but it was somewhat dark and humid. It was probably because it was too deep, and the sun could not be seen all year round.
At this moment, the two of them were still about ten zhang away from each other, and they looked at each other without saying a word, just like when they were on top of each other.
After a long while, Xiao Meng’er said indifferently, “Your Excellency is truly skilled in light arts. May I know which sect you are from?”
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at her indifferently, “How can I am compare to Xiao Clan’s martial arts? As for the bad disciples of the sect, he is even more shameless.”
Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal her origins, Xiao Meng’er’s heart calmed down. Although she was the head of both the Dao and Martial Families and no one in her generation could compare to her, she understood that there was a truth beyond the heavens.
Although the Hill of Illusory Ruins was chaotic, there were some extremely powerful figures hidden behind it. The person in front of him looked similar to him in age, but he possessed such abilities. There must be a master teacher behind him.
Although Xiao Meng’er was the eldest young miss of the Xiao Clan and possessed extraordinary abilities, she was definitely not as arrogant and arrogant as the disciples of the noble clans.
On the contrary, she had been cultivating in the Immortal Qiong Sect all these years. Her temperament had long been within reach. She was able to maintain a heart of autumn water that wasn’t disturbed by the outside world anytime and anywhere. Even the words she had said on the cliff earlier were only spoken in a hurry, not deliberately underestimating the enemy’s provocation.
At this moment, she looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “My name is Xiao Meng’er. I wonder … how do you address me?”
“Nameless, nameless.” Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.
“Oh? Your Excellency seems to have some hostility towards me. It seems that we … haven’t seen each other before, right?”
Xiao Meng’er looked at him and her keen intuition told her that from the moment she met him, he seemed to have some hostility towards her. She thought that it was definitely not because of what she said on the cliff.
This was because a person with such a cultivation would never have such strong hostility just because of a single sentence. Only those servants at the bottom of the street would feel a deep hatred because of their words, and they only wished to kill the other party’s entire family.
Xiao Meng’er’s gaze gradually condensed as she looked at the other party’s gaze, which was like the abyss of a strange valley. Why did this person have such an inexplicable hostility towards her?
Could it be that he … had a grudge against his master?
However, such an ordinary person’s cultivation is only above others’. How could he have any relationship with an expert like Master who has long been in the outer realm? There is no way that there is any intersection between the heavens and the earth …
