As the Universe Turns - Chapter 949
Chapter 949 Gongsun
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Qian Wei Tian, Kun Wei Tian, Lightning, Xun Wei Feng, Kan Wei Shui, Li Wei Huo, Gen Wei Shan, Di Ze … The Eight Trigrams Sword Formation that seems to be closely connected and impervious to the wind is actually very easy to break. Rather than wasting the spiritual energy in the valley, it’s better to withdraw it.”
Hearing this, Yin Jian was even more stunned. This person … could it be that he was able to tell where the formation was at a glance? This Eight Trigrams Sword Formation must have been set up by Master and a few elders. How could he see through it at a glance …
“Senior Brother, what are you guys talking about? Did Grandpa set up a sword formation in the valley? What are you doing setting up such a sword formation for? What if you injure one of your own people?”
Gongsun Yingxue hugged the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox with one hand and scratched her head with the other. She could not understand what he and Xiao Chen were talking about, nor did she know what had happened in the valley. From the looks of it, it seemed strange. Normally, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters should be practicing swordsmanship. Why was it so quiet today …
Yin Jian furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her, “Little sister, let’s go faster. Something might have happened in the valley these past two days …”
“Ah? What is it …”
Gongsun Yingxue still didn’t know what was going on, but before she could finish her sentence, she was quickly pulled forward by Yin Jian.
When they arrived at a white jade plaza, they saw that the surrounding vegetation was verdant. At the end of the plaza, there was a majestic hall. Outside the hall, there were actually quite a few people gathered. They were secretly looking into the hall, as if they were watching something lively.
“No wonder there’s no one outside. So they’ve all come here …”
Gongsun Yingxue was relieved to see so many people standing outside the hall. However, there was someone in the hall who had attracted so many senior brothers and sisters to gather around.
“Big Senior Brother! Little Junior Sister … you’re back!”
At this moment, a man dressed in white suddenly ran over from afar. He saw the white-haired man with his senior brother and sister from afar. As he approached, he actually felt an inexplicable chill from the other party. He couldn’t help but be stunned, “This is …”
Yin Jian frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, “This is Brother Wu Chen. I’ll tell you later. Tell me first, what happened in the valley these past two days?”
“Ah …”
At this moment, the white-clothed man regained his senses and frowned. Then, he walked forward and whispered a few words into his ear. Immediately after, he saw Yin Jian’s gaze turn cold, “Bullying others too much!”
“Senior Brother … what’s wrong?”
Gongsun Yingxue hugged the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox in her arms and looked at the two confusedly. The white-clothed man looked at her with a bitter face and said, “Little Junior Sister, you don’t know, not long after you and Eldest Senior Brother left, the Li Clan came looking for us. They insisted that we hand over Second Senior Brother. Otherwise, they would trample our Buried Sword Valley.”
“What …”
Gongsun Yingxue’s face was shocked. Even the Fire Spirit Fox in her arms almost ran away. However, the next moment, her face was covered in frost. She said gloomily, “Half a year ago, that Li Fei ambushed my brother on the stage. He was injured by my brother. His Li Clan actually came up and struck my brother. Before they could settle this matter, they actually turned black and white first … It’s simply extremely shameless!”
Yin Jianmei furrowed his brows and said, “Little sister, I’m afraid this matter is not simple. There’s no need to worry about adding to the guilt. I think the Li Clan is most likely using this as an excuse. Their real purpose is to bury the Sword Valley …”
“Then what should we do?”
Gongsun Yingxue frowned and muttered to himself, “No wonder Grandpa and a few uncles set up a sword formation outside the valley. So it was to prevent the Li Clan from slaughtering them. Their Li Clan is too hateful. Do you think that with Yun Sect as a backer, they can do whatever they want in Shu these past two years?”
“Little Junior Sister, you don’t have to worry, hehe …”
At this time, the white-robed man suddenly laughed and said, “Two days ago, Master invited a person. Guess who this person is.”
“Who is it?”
Gongsun Yingxue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. The Li Clan now had Yun Sect as their backer. Could it be that they could defeat the Li Clan with just one person? Then how formidable must this person be?
The white-clothed man chuckled and said, “That person is in the hall right now. You will know when you go see him. As for the Li Clan, hehe, that person only needs to move his fingers. Not to mention his Li Clan, even Yun Sect, his superior, has to tremble three times.”
“Is it really that powerful?”
Yin Jian’s face was filled with doubt. He knew that this junior apprentice-brother in front of him always liked to exaggerate things, but this time, it sounded like he was serious.
“Hehe, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I’m not exaggerating this time. If you know who that person is, you’ll definitely be stunned.”
The white-clothed man looked at him and chuckled.
“Junior Sister, let’s go and see who that person in the hall is.”
As Yin Jian spoke, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Wu Chen, come with me. As for my junior apprentice-brother, he’s back anyway. It’s not too late to go back later.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything and walked towards the main hall with the two of them.
“Little Junior Sister and Eldest Senior Brother are back!”
Seeing the three of them coming over, the people outside the hall immediately moved aside. Quite a few people noticed the white-haired man behind Senior Brother and Junior Sister. They thought to themselves, “Who is this person?” Why does it look like an ice cube …
“Yin Jian, Xue’er! You’re back! Come in!”
There were seven or eight old men sitting in the hall, and the person sitting at the head of the hall. However, seeing that person’s white beard, vigorous spirit, and wearing a purple sandalwood robe, his aura was extraordinary. Clearly, this person was the Valley Master, Gongsun Zhang.
And at the head of the left hall below, there was a young man sitting there. That man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a folding fan in his hand. He shook it gently, and it seemed that he was extraordinary.
Yin Jian’s gaze naturally fell on this young man. He was the only person in the hall that he did not recognize. Could it be that this person was the person that Junior Brother mentioned earlier? It seemed that his cultivation was indeed extremely high, and he was unable to see through it at all …
“Yin Jian, Xue’er, hurry up and meet Childe Xiao.”
At this moment, Gongsun Zhang’s expression was very good. Even his tone was a little excited. When Yin Jian and Gongsun Yingxue heard the word “Childe Xiao”, they were stunned.
Only then did Yin Jian react. At this moment, when he looked at Brocade Childe in the left hall again, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He murmured, “Your Excellency … Could your Excellency be … the Lord of Lustless Heaven, Lord Xiao …”
But seeing that Brocade Childe was smiling and the folding fan in his hand was gently shaking, Gongsun Zhang explained with a smile, “This is my eldest apprentice, Yin Jian, and my little granddaughter, Yingxue …”
“So it’s Young Hero Yin and Miss Yingxue. Nice to meet you.”
Brocade Childe was still smiling as he looked at the two of them. In the end, his gaze landed motionlessly on Gongsun Yingxue, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable looking at the latter.
“Oh?”
Brocade Childe suddenly stood up, waved his folding fan, and slowly walked towards Gongsun Yingxue. Looking at the Fire Spirit Fox in her arms, he smiled and said, “Could this be the legendary Thousand Year Nine-Tailed Firefox?”
Gongsun Yingxue saw him walking towards her and saw him looking at her like that just now. At this moment, she subconsciously retreated and tightened her embrace of the Fire Spirit Fox, as if she was not going to touch anyone.
The atmosphere only became a little awkward. Yin Jian immediately regained his senses and smiled, “This is the Nine-tailed Firefox from Mount Shu. It is used to save my junior brother’s life. My junior brother was hit by the Li Clan’s Darknorth Profound Palm six months ago. He must use the blood of the Firefox as medicine to get rid of the cold poison.”
“I see …”
Brocade Childe folded the fan in his hand and looked at the white-haired man behind Yin Jian and Gongsun Yingxue. He smiled faintly and said, “I am, Lustless Heaven, Xiao Yichen, I wonder how to address this brother.”
