As the Universe Turns - Chapter 934
Chapter 934 Seize Life And Death
The atmosphere at the scene became tense. Although Heavenless Palace’s strength was strong, Lian Zhensi’s cultivation was extremely high, and Zi Weisi was even more unfathomable, the words “Hill of Illusory Ruins” and “Tianzhu City” made people tremble even more.
Don’t treat the Qilin with a sickly appearance. He seems easy-going, but his strength is the most unfathomable in the six palaces, apart from the Azure Dragon. It is like a cliff surrounded by clouds and mist. It looks like an illusory immortal, but under the clouds and mist, there is an abyss without a bottom. No one dares to try it easily.
At this moment, everyone held their breaths and concentrated, not making a single sound. In the entire valley entrance, only the gentle sound of wheels slowly sounded.
Qilin sat in his wheelchair and slowly moved forward. At this moment, Lian Zhensi’s brows were deeply knitted. The expression on Zi Weisi’s face remained unchanged. He only said indifferently, “Although this place is not the Yu Realm, it is not Tianzhu City. After leaving Tianzhu City, life and death are up to fate. Since when did Tianzhu Palace interfere in other people’s affairs?”
The Qilin said, “The affairs of the world are not within the control of Tianzhu City. However, the affairs of the Hill of Illusory Ruins are beyond the control of the world, but Tianzhu City is capable of doing so.”
Many people in the vicinity felt their hearts tremble when they heard this. Although Hill of Illusory Ruins was the most chaotic place and there was constant bloodshed everyday, it was just Tianzhu City who didn’t care. However, if he really wanted to control it, even a Quasi-Sage would have to lower his head.
At this moment, Zi Weisi’s voice also became somewhat gloomy, “In that case, Tianzhu City will definitely interfere in this matter today …”
The atmosphere at the valley entrance became even more solidified. Everyone was silent. Lian Zhensi’s brows furrowed deeply. He never thought that the people of Tianzhu City would suddenly interfere in this matter. Why was this?
For a moment, he couldn’t understand why Tianzhu City, who had never interfered in the outside world, would suddenly come out for this brat.
However, judging from the current situation, Sick Qilin’s cultivation was unfathomable, and Black Tortoise’s cultivation was not below his own. There were still many people from Hill of Illusory Ruins here. There was no benefit in taking action. Today’s matter could only be abandoned.
Thinking of this, Lian Zhensi immediately sent a divine message to Zi Weisi: “This place is not suitable for long stay.”
“Forget it …”
Zi Weisi slowly walked out of the valley. As he passed by Sick Qilin’s wheelchair, he slowly said, “However, I seem to remember that a hundred years ago, Azure Dragon swore an oath that Tianzhu Palace would not step out of Tianzhu City in one year. Within a hundred years, Hill of Illusory Ruins would not step out of Hill of Illusory Ruins. Now that the first year has passed, it seems that the one hundred year period has not yet arrived.”
The Qilin smiled faintly, “Almost.”
“Really … Then wait for that day to come.”
Zi Weisi’s sharp eyes were like a sharp dagger, causing the people in front of him to subconsciously retreat and not dare to stand in front of him.
The two of them gradually moved away until they disappeared without a trace. Only then did the tension gradually ease. At this moment, everyone’s gazes fell on Tianzhu Palace and Xiao Chen. At this moment, they were all guessing in their hearts who this white-haired young man was.
There had never been a precedent for what had happened today. No matter where it was or even in Tianzhu City, they had never seen Tianzhu Palace protect anyone like this before.
This time, it was too strange. Could it be that this person had something that Tianzhu Palace wanted? This is probably the only reasonable reason …
Everyone slowly turned their gazes to the Sick Qilin. They looked at his slightly pale face. Everyone in the Seven Halls of Heaven’s Pursuit had a mask, and they never took it off in front of anyone. However, a hundred years ago, the mask on the Qilin’s face was shattered, so he never wore a mask again.
Suddenly, he raised his hand. A glittering object in his hand flew towards Xiao Chen. The object came very quickly. Xiao Chen pointed his fingers together and reached out to catch it. It was a special golden leaf.
The Qilin smiled and said, “Take this golden leaf. From now on, whoever opposes you in the Hill of Illusory Ruins will be the enemy of Tianzhu City.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators from all directions were even more shocked. This was Tianzhu Palace’s “Life and Death Snatch” Golden Leaf. Just what kind of identity was this person? He actually obtained Tianzhu Palace’s life and death snatch today …
At this moment, many people felt their hearts tremble. Tianzhu Palace’s actions had always been unfathomable, but today was too surprising!
The matter just now was fine, but Tianzhu Palace’s Life and Death Restoration would never be handed over to an outsider. But now, Sick Qilin had actually handed it over to an outsider. What exactly was the meaning of this?
Since this person possessed Tianzhu Palace’s “Life and Death”, who in Hill of Illusory Ruins would dare to provoke him from now on? He was holding onto life and death, which meant that he could invite people from Tianzhu Palace at any time …
This time, even Fairy Red Butterfly and the others were completely stunned. What did Tianzhu Palace mean by returning to the bottom? It would be fine if he said that he would protect him, but what was the meaning of handing over the Life and Death Restoration to him?
At this moment, an old man dressed in Qingyi stepped forward and looked at Sick Qilin from afar. “Qilin Palace Master, this old man is a little confused. Tianzhu Palace has never handed over this’life and death ‘to outsiders. Why did Qilin Palace Master give such an important item to someone who has nothing to do with Tianzhu City Su today?”
He asked about the doubts in the hearts of everyone present. Qilin smiled faintly and looked at him. “Tianzhu Palace has never acted without explaining it to anyone.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a layer of frost suddenly condensed in the air. Everyone felt stifled. Although Sick Qilin had said these words with a smile on his face, it caused everyone’s hearts to tremble. Old man Qingyi’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he no longer asked any further. He silently retreated back.
The Qilin didn’t say anything else. It turned the wheelchair and headed out of the valley. Inside the valley entrance, Xiao Chen held the golden leaf in his hand and stared at the back of the wheelchair. Why would Tianzhu City help him?
“Oh, right …”
Just as he was contemplating, the Qilin stopped and turned his head slightly. “You should be going to the Peerless Gathering in a year’s time, right?” He said.
“Peerless Society …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had heard of it before, but he still didn’t know exactly what the Spirit Ruins Realm’s Peerless Society was like. However, it was definitely not simple.
The Qilin smiled and did not stop. It turned its wheelchair and left behind two rows of wheel marks. The figure gradually disappeared into the mountains under dusk.
On Acheron Valley’s side, many people hadn’t fully recovered from their shock. As for those who were still restless, they had already shrunk their heads and retreated backwards. Even if they had ten more guts this time, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for Xiao Chen.
As dusk fell, Xiao Chen was still staring in the direction where Sick Qilin had left. Before coming to Hill of Illusory Ruins, he did not even know that there was a Tianzhu City. When he went to Tianzhu City that day, he only discovered that there was an exceptionally strong Spiritual Energy in the city. There was nothing different about it, but why did the people of Tianzhu Palace suddenly come to help him today?
However, no matter what, this place was not a place to stay for long. He frowned slightly and said, “Let’s go.” Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, and the others behind him immediately followed him without hesitation. As for Patriarch Guiyin, he naturally followed along. A dozen or so people quickly disappeared into the twilight.
On this mountain peak, Xiao Qinghe’s expression changed. Could this child really be the son of Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou back then …
Why would the people of Tianzhu City help him?
For a time, Xiao Qinghe did not dare to determine what he was thinking, but it seemed that it was most likely related to Xiao Zhufeng back then …
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. This time, his expression suddenly changed. Xiao Ling’er beside him saw that his expression had changed so much and blinked her big eyes and asked, “What happened to Fifth Elder …”
Gradually, Xiao Qinghe regained his senses. At this moment, he was still looking in the direction where Xiao Chen and his group had left. He shook his head and did not say anything.
On the other hand, Xiao Meng’er was also looking in the same direction as Xiao Chen. However, there was only one thing in her mind, the Peerless Society a year later.
…
Thousands of miles away from Acheron Valley, the night was already quietly shrouded. Xiao Chen stopped. According to the agreement, he had to return Tai Yinsi’s soul to Patriarch Guiyin.
At this moment, he did not hesitate. With a swipe of his finger, a seal appeared in front of him. Then, a wisp of green smoke floated out from the seal.
Seeing this wisp of green smoke floating out, Patriarch Guiyin’s expression changed slightly. An indescribable expression flashed across his face. In the end, he formed a seal and chanted a curse incantation to introduce the wisp of green smoke into a soul jade.
“I have already returned this person’s soul to you.” Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently.
“Alright, alright …”
Patriarch Guiyin put away the Soul Jade and moved into the distance. In the darkness, there seemed to be an inaudible sigh.
“Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, let’s go as well. Let’s go ahead and see if there’s a town. Let’s find an inn to stay in tonight.” Xiao Chen looked in the direction where Patriarch Guiyin had disappeared. He turned around and the group immediately headed in another direction.
Late at night, it suddenly snowed, and the ground was slowly covered with a layer of snow. It was already deep into winter. It must have snowed in Xuanqing Mountain, right? The path outside Ning Village was covered with heavy snow again …
In the courtyard of an inn, Xiao Chen was sitting alone in the pavilion, looking at the snow in the courtyard. The Moon in the sky was flawless, illuminating the white snow that flew down like a dream.
Back then, he was only a small naughty boy in the Ning Village. He had never thought that he would experience so many things now, but at this moment, he was still holding the golden leaf that the Sickly Qilin had given him in the evening.
“Life and death.”
These four words were written on the golden leaf.
“If there comes a day when Excellency becomes a person who can take his life …”
Zi Yuan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind. She walked over gently with a mink fur in her hand and slowly draped it over Xiao Chen’s shoulder.
“Then Wei Yang, she definitely doesn’t like it.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he put down the golden leaf in his hand and looked at the white snow floating outside the pavilion. Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind, “There are five more plants in this world and six only snowflakes. Therefore, the snowflakes have a beautiful name, called Wei Yang Hua …”
“Where’s Bai Luan? Didn’t she come with you?”
“Elder sister has gone to inquire about the Wushuang Society. Let’s leave tomorrow without waiting for her.”
“Is that so …”
Xiao Chen looked at the snow outside the pavilion and stopped talking.
…
At this moment, in Heavenless Palace, in the Tai Hua Palace secret realm.
The light inside the secret realm dimmed slightly. A figure stood inside. Not long after, another figure came in from outside. This person was Zi Weisi.
“Daoist.”
Zi Weisi walked in from outside and greeted the people in the secret realm. Naturally, this person in the secret realm was none other than Tai Huazi, one of the three Supreme Daoists of the Heavenless Palace.
“Tell me about that day.”
From Tai Huazi’s voice, there was no change in his emotions. Zi Weisi nodded and told him about what happened in Acheron Valley that day.
After hearing this, Tai Huazi frowned deeply and slowly turned around. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He looked at him and said, “You mean Tianzhu Palace made a move?”
When he saw the strange light flashing through Tai Huazi’s eyes, Zi Weisi nodded his head, “Yes.” He didn’t know if it was an illusion or something.
