As the Universe Turns - Chapter 928
Chapter 928 Narrow Path Of Enmity
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at Xiao Meng’er. He did not intend to stand up. However, looking at the other party’s current appearance, it seemed that he was being chased by someone. He only heard him say indifferently, “It’s only been three days, how did Fairy Xiao end up in such a sorry state again …”
Although his words seemed to be irrelevant, he was thinking in his heart, not to mention that Xiao Meng’er’s status in Xiao Clan was not trivial. Just the name of an Immortal Joan Sect disciple in Immortal Monarch Donghua was enough to intimidate all forces in Spirit Ruins Realm. Who would dare to chase after her here?
Xiao Meng’er glanced at him. She had never thought that she would meet Xiao Chen here again. Just as she was about to lift the Lotus Platform and leave, a voice suddenly sounded from outside, “I just saw her coming this way. Go look inside!”
Hearing this voice, Xiao Meng’er’s expression changed slightly, but at this moment, she was still calm. She immediately put away the Lotus Platform and hid behind a large rock not far from Xiao Chen.
Soon, more than ten figures had already flown in from outside. It was unknown who they were. They were all dressed in black and had their faces covered.
Xiao Chen looked at these people. The cultivations of the dozen or so people were neither low nor high. However, they were still a little short of hurting Xiao Meng’er. It seemed that Xiao Meng’er had consumed too much energy to break through the restriction of the Fiendgod Realm. She had just come across this group of people.
But who exactly are these fugitives? The key is who will dare to chase after Xiao Meng’er …
The dozen or so people naturally saw him at a glance. The leading black-clothed man said coldly, “Did you see a woman run in just now, that boy with white hair and a weak expression?”
“Oh?”
“What does the woman you mentioned look like? Is she beautiful or ugly? Is she tall or short? Is she fat or thin?” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“If the boss asks you anything, you can answer him. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you believe that I’ll kill you with a single slash?”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen slowly stood up. Behind the stone not far away, Xiao Meng’er’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. She constantly looked at him and shook her head, as if she was rather nervous.
“Cough cough …”
Xiao Chen covered his chest and coughed twice. Then, he pointed at the stone and said, “There’s someone behind him. I wonder if it’s the woman you mentioned.”
“Huh?”
The expressions of the dozen or so people froze. Not to mention, the Chaos Saber Berserk Sword slashed over. The Saber Wind Sword Qi tore through the void, and the stone instantly turned into powder. As the dust flew, a figure flew out. It was Xiao Meng’er. She glared at Xiao Chen hatefully, then took the Lotus Platform and fled into the distance.
“Chase!”
The dozen or so people immediately chased after him, and in an instant, they disappeared into the boundless twilight.
After a long while, the valley slowly regained its calm. Twilight had already arrived, giving the valley a slightly gloomy feeling.
Zi Yuan looked in the direction Xiao Meng’er escaped from and muttered, “Your Excellency, wasn’t it a bit too much just now? It seems to me that she was seriously injured …”
“Too much?”
Xiao Chen said casually, “Isn’t it too much that she nearly killed us all three days ago when she struck you in order to escape alone?”
“But …”
Zi Yuan frowned slightly. Xiao Chen knew what she wanted to say. At this moment, two cold lights flashed in her eyes. “I said before, no matter when, I have nothing to do with this Xiao Clan. Whether they are alive or dead, what does it have to do with me?”
Zi Yuan stopped talking. After a while, Xiao Chen said, “Don’t worry, she won’t die. What is Xiao Meng’er’s status?” No matter how high her cultivation was, no one in her generation could compare to her. How could the Xiao Clan really trust her to walk alone? “There must be an elder with a high cultivation behind him secretly protecting her. However, she fell into the Little Nether with us that day. That elder lost his sense of her, and his divine sense is temporarily unable to spread out.”
After hearing what he said, Zi Yuan nodded. He thought to himself, “So that’s how it is. Just now, Excellency didn’t really want to kill her …”
He recalled that in the Little Nether, Xiao Meng’er had almost let himself and Excellency die in order to survive alone. If not for the fact that the Fiendgod had suddenly fallen into a state of confusion and finally regained consciousness, he and Excellency would have truly died down there.
But even so, Excellency had never thought of hitting her when she was down. At this moment, Zi Yuan suddenly felt that although this Excellency in front of him was sometimes cold and cold, and even seemed to be completely unreasonable, his bosom actually fell more than anyone else.
“Let’s go outside and see if we can find Bai Luan and the others.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly walked out of the valley. Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment before following behind.
Twilight fell, and an indescribable ghost aura gradually appeared in the mountains. Xiao Chen walked in front of him, his mind still thinking about the god devil deep underground.
At this moment, as the night gradually descended on his forehead, the divine demon’s consciousness slowly emitted a trace of icy coldness. Previously, when he was below, he could feel that the divine demon was sometimes lost, sometimes regaining consciousness, but more of it was a kind of pain.
Perhaps no one else could comprehend it, and they would only think that the Fiendgod was terrifying. However, he could feel that the Fiendgod was in great pain, because he no longer knew whether he was the High God or the Ancient Fiendgod.
Was it the High God’s divine sense that gradually devoured the Ancient Devil’s divine sense, but he mistakenly thought that it was the Ancient Devil’s divine sense that devoured it, or was it the Ancient Devil’s divine sense that gradually devoured the High God’s divine sense that made him think that he was not the Ancient Devil, but the High God …
Whether it was the Ancient Devil or the High God, to them, it was a kind of sorrow. They had already lost themselves in this endless river of time. Perhaps only death and eternal silence would be a kind of relief …
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his heart. If he was infected by his demonic sense, would he be able to stay awake for a thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years … until thousands of years later? What kind of pain was that …
He raised his hand and looked at the faint aura of the Three Corpse Demon on his left wrist. If he were to be devoured by the Three Corpse Demon in the future, would he gradually lose himself like a god demon after many years had passed?
If he was completely devoured by Three Corpse Demon and his consciousness completely disappeared, then the only person in the world who could kill him would be Master …
Master …
Thinking of Master, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. His life was saved by Master, and if she wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have any grievances …
However …
The most painful person should be her …
He wanted her to kill him with her own hands …
…
“Disciple’s abilities were all taught by Master in the past. Today, I will return them all to Master …”
…
“Today, our master-disciple relationship is over. You can leave now …”
…
“If I leave, wouldn’t Master need to be alone in this cold Jade Light Hall in the future? No, I wasn’t here before, but now that I’m here, I won’t let Master be alone anymore …”
…
“If you want to kill me, then just kill me! Yes, I just hit you, so you also want to kill me. In any case, you Xuanqing Sect don’t have a good person!”
…
Past events happened one after another. At this moment, it was as if an old dream from the past had been handed over to Xiao Chen. With the cold wind in the valley, Xiao Chen’s eyes gradually turned slightly red.
“Zun … Excellency, what’s wrong with you?”
Zi Yuan, who was beside him, noticed his abnormality. Only then did Xiao Chen regain his senses. He gently stroked his sleeves and said, “No problem. Perhaps it was because Xiao Meng’er broke into his cultivation just now, and his True Qi had yet to return to his meridians.”
“Then … do you want me to help Excellency again?” Zi Yuan looked at his slightly red eyes and whispered.
“No need …”
Xiao Chen gently waved his sleeve. At this moment, it was as if he had changed back. The Lord of Lustless Heaven, who looked like a lonely moon in the sky, could not be approached by anyone, nor could anyone enter his heart.
However, Zi Yuan deeply remembered that year, when she was searching for the Eye of the Frost Pool, the white hair on the back of his shoulders also fluttered along with the wind and snow. That day, he wore a white mink fur, and his back seemed to have fused with the wind and snow.
Thus, in the entire world, there was only endless loneliness and loneliness.
“Your Excellency …”
At this moment, Zi Yuan gently moved her lips. Actually, she had known this Excellency for so many years. If he didn’t want to say anything, then he must have thought of his master, Fairy Miaoyin.
Because this was the last thing he wanted to mention.
“Shh …”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen made a silent gesture, and Zi Yuan also regained her senses in an instant. At that moment, she seemed to have sensed an aura approaching. Although the other party was hiding very deeply, she also sensed that the person who came was probably a Quasi-Sage above the Fifth Order …
“Let’s go.”
Although he didn’t know who it was, what Xiao Chen was sure was that the other party was definitely coming for him. Right now, his cultivation had only recovered sixty to seventy percent. If he were to face a First or Second Grade Quasi-Saint, he might still have a chance of winning. However, if the other party was a Fifth Grade Quasi-Saint or above, he wouldn’t have any chance of winning.
The two of them moved and went back in the same direction as they were traveling. In an instant, they disappeared into the boundless night. Fortunately, the divine sense in the Yellow Springs Ancient Land was difficult to spread and the night was covered. Even if the other party was a Quasi-Saint above the Fifth Order, it would not be easy to find them in a short period of time.
It was about midnight when the Moon was hanging high in the sky. In another seven days, it would be the full moon night. At that time, the tide would end and the aura of the Underworld would return to the earth. No one who was still in the Yellow Springs Ancient Land would be able to escape.
Xiao Chen and Zi Yuan had arrived at an unknown location. In front of them was a secluded valley with a faint aura of Spiritual Energy. Zi Yuan was on guard. “Excellency, be careful, there seems to be someone inside.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen was vigilant as he slowly entered the valley with her. However, he saw that there was indeed a person in the valley who was using the moonlight to heal his wounds with the spiritual energy here. It was none other than Moon.
