As the Universe Turns - Chapter 955
Chapter 955 Abnormality
The wind blew coldly and rolled up the fallen leaves and sand on the square. Everyone was speechless as they watched this scene in front of them. Li Zhengyan’s back was also covered in cold sweat. They only hoped that today’s matter would pass like this.
“Go.”
As Xiao Chen said those two words, Li Zhengyan finally felt relieved. He cupped his hands and said, “Exalted Lord Xie …” Without hesitation, he immediately led the dozen disciples behind him out of the valley.
On the plaza, everyone seemed to be in a dream. Especially Yi Yiping, who had pretended to be Xiao Chen, was now petrified. Looking at the real Lord of Lustless Heaven in front of him, he recalled that a few days ago, he did not dare to move at all.
Xiao Chen slowly turned around and looked at him. With just two gazes, Yi Yiping felt as if he was facing an abyss. He even held his breath.
“From now on, if you dare to deceive me in my name again, the outcome will not be so simple.”
The cold words caused Yi Yiping and the group who had pretended to be Li Zhengyan to tremble. However, they immediately kowtowed to Xiao Chen as if they had been granted amnesty. “Thank you for Venerable Lord Lustless’s kindness. From now on, this lowly person will definitely reform and will never dare to do so again …”
At the end of their words, the group of people got up in a panic and stumbled outside, disappearing in an instant.
At this moment, the plaza was still solemn. Many people had yet to regain their senses as they stared blankly at Xiao Chen. The person in front of them was the Lord of Lustless Heaven. However, the Sword Burying Valley hadn’t even entertained him with good wine and food these past three days. They were all focused on that fake Xiao Yichen.
It was ridiculous for him to leave his true self alone and curry favor with a fake person. No wonder the current Sword Burying Valley had fallen to this point, allowing others to bully him.
Xiao Chen ignored everyone’s gazes and walked straight towards Gongsun Yingxue. Seeing him walking towards him, Gongsun Yingxue felt a sense of fear and subconsciously retreated backwards.
Xiao Chen stopped. He looked at her pale face and said, “I have already forced out Gongsun Yu’s cold poison. Where is the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox?”
“Spirit, Spirit Fox …”
Gongsun Yingxue was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted. She hurriedly ran into the back hall. Not long after, she carried the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox out and handed it to him with a trembling voice, “Here, here …”
Xiao Chen took the Spirit Fox and Gongsun Yingxue hurriedly said, “Then … well, you can take her blood. It won’t be much. Don’t hurt her life …”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen hugged the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox and was about to turn around and leave. Gongsun Zhang stepped forward and stretched out his hand. “Xiao … Lord Xiao, wait!”
“Valley Master Gongsun, what else?”
Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head slightly.
“Then … that …”
Gongsun Zhang’s face turned pale. He didn’t know what to say at this moment. After a long time, he said, “Thank you very much, Lord Xiao. It’s just that this old man has no eyes. I didn’t recognize him for the past three days …”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped him from continuing, saying, “That person just now swore that he would not invade the Buried Sword Valley again for a hundred years. I observed the natural luck of this valley, but because of the obstruction of the earth vein and the suffocation of spiritual energy, the earth vein is smooth, and the spiritual energy seems to be reviving. Within a hundred years, there will definitely be geniuses.” With that, he kicked his feet and flew out of the valley.
After his figure disappeared for a long time, everyone in the square gradually regained their senses. Gongsun Yingxue stood motionlessly on the spot. She could not understand what Xiao Chen had left behind just now, but the scenes that appeared in her mind were still from Mount Shu a few days ago …
At this moment, the elders couldn’t conceal their excitement because of Xiao Chen’s words, “Within a hundred years, there will definitely be a genius.”
Gongsun Zhang’s originally pale face turned red from excitement. Seeing this, Gongsun Yingxue hurriedly walked over and supported him, “Grandpa, how are you …”
“No, it’s fine …”
At this moment, Gongsun Zhang was still unable to hide his excitement. Looking in the direction where Xiao Chen had just left, even his palm slightly trembled.
Many years ago, the Sword Burying Valley was once the strongest power in Shu. However, for some reason, in their generation, it had actually declined to this point. Even the sword formation left behind by their ancestors could not be activated, allowing others to bully them.
Just now, Xiao Chen said that it was because the earth vein was blocked and the spiritual energy was suffocated that the Sword Burying Valley declined. Now that the spiritual energy in the valley is showing signs of revival, a genius will definitely emerge within a hundred years …
If an ordinary person said this, Gongsun Zhang would only smile bitterly, but the person who said this was not an ordinary person, but the Lord of Lustless Heaven.
After a long time, Gongsun Zhang was still unable to conceal his excitement. The Sword Burying Valley had declined for a thousand years. Could it be that now, he finally had the help of a noble person and was able to see the moon through the clouds?
“Little Snow, hurry up and go clean up the ancestral hall with all the senior brothers and sisters. This time, the ancestral master has appeared …”
At this moment, the elders looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left, but they were still thinking in their hearts. Even a person like the Lord of Lustless Heaven had appeared in such a small place in Shu. Could it be that Spirit Ruins Realm was really no longer calm?
That’s right, the Unparalleled Gathering will arrive soon in a year’s time. Those people who can’t leave the secluded world should also appear one after another. There are also the Ten Saints who disappeared from the Spirit Ruins Realm back then …
…
Seven days later, Xiao Chen had already returned to Lustless Heaven. This time, he had left for nearly a month, so Lustless Heaven could be considered calm.
Hidden Cloud Sea had temporarily stopped transmitting any strange movements. The disciples were much more at ease compared to before. After all, it was a restriction formation set up by Excellency and a few Quasi-Saint experts. As long as the Heaven-shrouding Formation was still there, everyone did not need to worry.
On this day, Wei Yang was still unconscious, and Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, and the others had also been sent to search for the two experts who had disappeared back then, the Medical Saint and the Medicine Saint, but they still hadn’t returned today.
There was a slight chill in the room. Xiao Chen sat in front of the bed and looked at Hua Weiyang’s sleeping face. His eyebrows gradually furrowed. After a while, he asked Shen Jing, “This time, with the Fire Spirit Fox’s blood as a medicine, can it suppress the chill in her body?”
Shen Jing frowned slightly and said, “I can only give it a try. If I can find the two Medical Saints and Medicinal Saints, if they are willing to help, the situation might be better, but …”
When she said this, she stopped and turned to look at Xiao Chen. “No matter what, even if Medicine Saint and Medicine Saint attacked, everything they did was only to temporarily extend her life span. You must understand …”
“I know …”
Without waiting for her to continue, Xiao Chen nodded. At this moment, he looked at the sleepy Hua Weiyang and remained silent. Wei Yang was a once-in-a-lifetime Profound Yin Body. Unless he could change her fate in defiance of the heavens, there was nothing he could do in the end.
Everything she did now, be it the Spirit Fox Blood, the Flowers of Mulberry, or the Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit, was just forcefully prolonging her lifespan …
It was only because ten years ago, during the Heavenly Sect’s change, she had been seriously injured. Otherwise, even if she had the Profound Yin Physique, she would still be fine. She would not have fallen into a coma as often as she is now, and her remaining lifespan would have become shorter and shorter.
“In short … you need to be prepared.”
Shen Jing frowned slightly as she looked at him and softly said, “I presume Senior Ku Lingzi told you back then that very few people in this world have successfully changed their fate since ancient times. Even if there were, they would most likely have to pay the same price. If they changed someone else’s fate, it might even … bring about the Five Declines of Heaven and Man. Do you know what the Five Declines of Heaven and Man are?”
“The Five Declines of Heaven and Man … Ever since the Ancient Era, no Immortal Devil Divine Buddha has been able to escape even if he has the ability to reach the heavens.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and walked out. “I’m going to find Senior Monster. Wei Yang … I’ll leave it to you.”
“Mm …”
Shen Jing nodded gently. She watched as he gradually disappeared from the room. She turned around and looked at Hua Weiyang, who was unconscious on the bed. At this moment, she slowly fell into deep thought.
Over the past ten years, she had watched Xiao Chen’s hair turn white and slowly turn into this state. Fortunately, Hua Weiyang was still alive. If Hua Weiyang had died at the hands of Daoist Feng Yin at the Heavenly Gate more than ten years ago, there would have been a terrifying devil in this world …
…
Ever since Xiao Cangtian returned, he had been living in a place called “Cliff Peak” in Lustless Heaven, where he usually guided his disciples in their cultivation.
Xiao Chen came out of the Wei Yang Palace. Half an incense stick later, he arrived at the cliff peak. He saw two disciples guarding the outside of the hall. Normally, there should be quite a few disciples here. How could they be so lonely today?
“Your Excellency!”
Seeing Xiao Chen come up, the two disciples immediately greeted him respectfully. Xiao Chen nodded slightly and asked, “Where is Senior?”
“Senior Xiao …”
The two disciples looked over to the Cliff Hall and turned around. “Senior Xiao, three days of secluded cultivation in the Hall, instructed us not to enter …” they said.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded, “I see. You can go down.” As he spoke, he walked towards the main hall.
At this moment, in the secret room behind the Cliff Hall, Xiao Cangtian’s cloak was emitted. His expression was extremely mad. His eyes were bloody red, and the blood mist around his body caused the entire secret room to be filled with a thick layer of blood mist. It looked extremely terrifying.
“Ling Yin … Kill, kill, kill! Feng Xuanzhi … Kill! Kill! Kill, kill! Kill, kill! Kill, kill, kill! Kill, kill, kill, kill!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already arrived at the door of the secret room. Hearing the commotion coming from inside, he couldn’t help but frown. He thought to himself, “Back then, after Senior was heavily injured in the head and origin soul by Master’s finger, he would sometimes lose his mind. Could it be that he was comprehending the Heavenly Book again, causing his heart to go crazy?”
“Senior?”
Xiao Chen pushed open the stone door of the secret room. However, the moment he pushed open the stone door, Xiao Cangtian’s palm suddenly carried killing intent and attacked him. This palm strike was fatal, leaving no room for manoeuvre!
Xiao Chen instantly unleashed Ling Xian Step and dodged Xiao Cangtian’s palm attack in a single breath. However, the terrain in the secret room was cramped. Xiao Cangtian’s killing intent was getting heavier and heavier, and his palm was becoming more and more fierce. Even if he possessed a unique technique like Ling Xian Step, it would be difficult for him to display it.
“Senior, please wake up. I’m Yi Chen!”
Xiao Chen tried to wake him up, but it was useless. For some reason, Xiao Cangtian had fallen into such a madness, and the moves in his hand were getting fiercer and fiercer.
“No …”
In just a short moment, Xiao Chen had fallen into danger several times. This place was too narrow. He was afraid that he would hurt the other party, but Xiao Cangtian’s disposition was abnormal, so he would definitely hurt him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He instantly opened up Ling Xian Step and went outside. Xiao Cangtian actually chased after him. The two of them fought all the way outside, causing the clouds outside Lustless Heaven to surge endlessly.
“What’s going on? Why is Your Excellency fighting with Senior Xiao …”
When the disciples heard the noise, they all rushed over. However, when they saw Xiao Chen and Xiao Cangtian fighting together, they were stunned and at a loss what to do.
