As the Universe Turns - Chapter 943
Chapter 943 Uninvited Guest
Xiao Chen watched Qianyu Nichang disappear into the clouds. Heavenless Palace had plots against Xuanqing Sect, but what did all of this have to do with him now?
He was no longer a disciple of Xuanqing Sect, so what did the matter with Xuanqing Sect have to do with him?
However, he was somewhat surprised that Qianyu Nichang had suddenly come to help him today. However, the direction where Qianyu Nichang had just left was not Xuanqing Sect. It seemed that she did not intend to return to Xuanqing Sect.
…
At this moment, the Heaven-shrouding Formation had completely stabilized. Everyone immediately flew out of the formation. During the past day and night, everyone’s nerves were tense. Now, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Even a Quasi-Sage like Baimei Shangren was still shocked by the anomaly in the Hidden Cloud Sea. Recalling the thrilling scene just now, it was as if she was still in a dream. The woman who suddenly came suddenly left. Who exactly was she …
“The formation here has been completed. Congratulations, Sovereign Lord Xiao. Since it is as stable as Mount Tai, then Dark Underworld You Jun and I are planning to bid farewell.”
At this moment, Pavilion Master White Cloud suddenly spoke. He wore a white jade mask on his face. Everyone could not see his current expression, but from his voice, there seemed to be a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Chen looked at him and the Dark Nether Secluded Monarch and said, “Thank you two for your help this time. I have already set up a banquet for you. Aren’t you going to stay for another day?”
Pavilion Master White Cloud smiled and said, “There’s something important in the sect today. Why don’t we talk about it another day?”
“Since that’s the case, then Xiao won’t have two more.”
When Xiao Chen finished speaking, he looked at Bai Luan and Zi Yuan, “Bai Luan Zi Yuan, go and send the two sect masters.”
“Yes …”
Bai Luan and Zi Yuan had just suffered some minor injuries, but they weren’t seriously injured. Just as they were passing by, Meng Xian’er suddenly said, “There’s no need to send them off. It just so happens that I’m on the way with Pavilion Master White Cloud and Pavilion Master Xiaoyao. Let’s go with them.”
Xiao Chen looked at her. At this moment, he understood what she meant. He nodded slightly and raised his hand, “Thank you three sect masters this time. See you in the future.”
Seeing the figures of the three disappear into the clouds, Xiao Chen returned to Lustless Heaven and came to Hua Weiyang. He asked with a frown, “How are you?”
Hua Weiyang’s expression had recovered a little. He looked fine and shook his head. He whispered, “I’m fine. Quickly invite Old Master Qin and the others back to the front hall. The banquet has been ordered to be prepared.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked at Qin Guan and the others. He said loudly, “Thanks to your help, I, Lustless Heaven, am able to save myself from the calamity. I am has prepared a little wine or two. Everyone, please.”
Lustless Heaven dissipated the baleful aura and was like an Outer World Immortal Realm, floating ten thousand feet high in the sky, far away from the noise of the mundane world.
They saw Immortal Islands floating everywhere, waterfalls forming curtains, white cranes soaring into the clouds in the sky, and beautiful clouds looming over Qionglou Yuyu. They were truly like Heavenly Palaces.
Although it was the middle of winter, Lustless Heaven had the essence of heaven and earth, and its spiritual energy did not decline. It was like the third month in the mortal world, and peach blossoms were blooming brilliantly.
“Wow, this place is so beautiful …”
Qin Yao looked at the islands around her that looked like an immortal realm. Her eyes lit up. Earlier, when she arrived, Lustless Heaven was as terrifying as the Demon Realm because of the black clouds surrounding her. When the black clouds dissipated, she would see a paradise.
Moments later, everyone had returned to the front of the hall. However, when they saw that the water and the earth had aged and the wine was full of bottles, they were all chatting and laughing in the Immortal Realm. It was very uncomfortable.
“Sister, sister, look!”
Qin Yao and Qin Lian sat under a peach blossom tree. The wind blew gently and peach blossoms fell on their shoulders. It was as if they were dreaming. A group of colorful butterflies came from somewhere. They actually rotated around the two of them and stopped at Qin Yao’s fingertips. On the ends of their hair, these butterflies were not shocked.
“Wow …”
Qin Yao was very curious. These butterflies seemed to be able to dance. They even carried a faint glow. He didn’t expect that even butterflies on this Lustless Heaven would have such spiritual energy.
Qin Lian shook his head and smiled. Looking at his innocent little sister, he smiled softly and said, “Little sister, come back and sit down. Today, Childe Xiao will treat the guests. Don’t be naughty and foolish.”
“Hehe!”
Qin Yao stuck out her tongue and smiled. However, she usually jumped up and down in the Fallen Snow Villa. Now that she had come to a fairyland like Lustless Heaven, how could she sit there obediently?
Qin Lian shook her head. A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked into the distance. Xiao Chen was drinking with the others. He was still so young and was already the leader of the party. Beside him, the smile on the girl’s face blossomed like a flower. She was actually so beautiful.
“Wei Yang, your body is unwell. Don’t drink too much wine.” Xiao Chen sent a secret message to Hua Weiyang.
Hua Weiyang smiled and whispered, “It won’t be a problem.” As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and toasted the crowd.
Right at this moment, outside the banquet, Yang Xiaoran suddenly rushed over. Seeing that his expression was different, Xiao Chen put down the wine cup in his hand and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Yang Xiaoran walked forward and whispered a few words into his ear. Xiao Chen’s gaze immediately narrowed as he looked towards Zhaotian Ya, “Oh? However, today’s visitors are all guests. Since they have come, please take a seat.”
“Yes …”
Yang Xiaoran immediately retreated. At this moment, Qin Guan and the others also noticed that something seemed to be wrong. Not long after, they saw a dozen people coming in from outside.
Among the dozen or so people, a few were Blood-clothed Child, Patriarch Nine Nether, and the others, but the others were not from Lustless Heaven.
Walking in front was a red-clothed old man and an old woman dressed in dark clothes. Their faces seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and they were somewhat gloomy and terrifying. The seven or eight disciples behind them had expressions of panic and unease, as if they were even trembling as they walked.
These two people were none other than Elder Li Huo and Elder Kunyi from the Eight Heavenly Palace Elders. Xiao Chen had naturally seen them long ago. It wasn’t just the Heavenly Gate Incident that happened. Back then, when the Xuanqing Sect Trial was held, Xiao Chen was extremely impressed with these two people.
During the trial in Xuan Qing, the Heavenly Gate forced him to jump off the cliff. How could he forget these two people back then?
“Elder Li Huo, Elder Kunyi, the two of you … are well.” Xiao Chen slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the two of them, and said indifferently.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became as cold as frost. Originally, the people from the Heavenly Gate were secretly observing this time. Elder Li Huo and Elder Kunyi had also come today, but they accidentally alerted the formation outside and happened to encounter Blood-clothed Master and Patriarch Nine Nether and the others.
Originally, with the cultivation of the two of them, it was not difficult to escape. However, due to a moment of panic and layers of restrictions outside, the two of them were unable to escape. In addition to the disciples being captured by mistake, the two of them had no choice but to follow the Blood-clothed Master and the others to Lustless Heaven.
Elder Li Huo and Elder Kunyi naturally remembered that more than ten years ago, Xiao Chen had almost destroyed the Heavenly Sect and killed countless of their disciples. The so-called enemies met each other, and they were extremely jealous. It was exactly like this now.
However, now that they had become prisoners of other people’s ranks, the two of them weren’t as arrogant as they were back then. Elder Kunyi’s gaze was cold as he coldly said, “Xiao Yichen! Today, my junior brother and I fell into your hands. If you want to kill us, then kill us!”
Once these words were spoken, Qin Guan and the others were slightly surprised. What kind of situation was this?
“Impudent!” Bai Luan coldly shouted, “Your Excellency, how can you let out a loud shout? Someone, bring this to me …”
“Forget it.”
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Chen gently raised his hand and said indifferently, “The guests today are guests. Please sit down with the two elders of the Heavenly Gate.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Spirit Ruins Realm disciples were slightly stunned. They were completely confused, not knowing who these people were.
The disciples of the Heavenly Sect became more and more panicked, and Elder Li Huo gently pulled on Elder Kunyi’s sleeve, signaling for them to listen to him first. In the end, under Yang Xiaoran’s lead, the two of them sat on two chairs.
Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his gaze from the two of them and continued to chat and laugh with Qin Guan, Baimei Shangren, and the others. After about an incense stick of time, the more uncomfortable the two elders of the Heavenly Gate felt, the less they dared to touch the dishes on the table. The two of them sat there, and no one spoke to them. It was rather embarrassing.
In Elder Kunyi’s eyes, this was clearly an insult to her and her junior brother. It was even more unbearable than killing them with a single knife. Finally, he could no longer stand it. Just as he was about to stand up, Elder Li Huo was shocked and hurriedly pressed her down, “Senior Sister! Please endure for a moment! Endure for a moment!”
“If he wants to kill, then kill him. How could he humiliate the two of us like this?”
Elder Kunyi couldn’t stand it anymore. At this moment, Xiao Chen slapped his palm on the table and two wine glasses flew into the air. Following his palm, the two wine glasses flew towards Li Huokunyi and the other two.
“Watch out!”
It looked like two ordinary wine glasses, but in fact, they contained unparalleled stamina. Elder Li Huo was suddenly shocked and hurriedly activated the twelve levels of cultivation.
Seeing the wine glasses flying over, Elder Kunyi did not dare to be careless. He immediately used his cultivation to pick them up. However, even though the two of them had great strength, they were still unable to pick up two small wine glasses at this moment.
The wine cup continued to spin in front of their palms, as if it was going to crush the two of them. The strong winds around them caused the disciples behind them to suffocate endlessly, and they were unable to breathe. Their faces were twisted and distorted by the strong winds.
After a long while, the force dissipated and the wind around them stopped. However, the disciples of the Heavenly Sect were blown to the side. The two elders’ faces were already pale. They held wine glasses in their hands and did not spill a single drop of wine. However, the two of them seemed to have lost their souls. They sat motionless. Only their hands, which were holding wine glasses, trembled uncontrollably.
“Elders, please.”
Xiao Chen’s voice was cold and indifferent. At this moment, the rest of the people around looked at the two elders of the Heavenly Gate motionlessly.
The two of them were holding the wine glasses in their hands. Their faces were already extremely pale. Even the last trace of blood color quickly disappeared under everyone’s gaze.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have finally regained their senses. Elder Li Huo’s heart trembled slightly and he sent a secret message to his senior sister, “Senior Sister … drink. If you don’t drink this cup of wine today, I’m afraid both of us will die here …”
