As the Universe Turns - Chapter 959
Chapter 959 Divergence
That day, when True Monarch Xuanxiao and Tai Yinsi attacked together, Xiao Chen did come out early, so he left behind a backlash. This backlash was especially obvious every time he used his strength.
Originally, only Bai Luan and Zi Yuan knew about this matter, but even if Bai Luan and Zi Yuan didn’t say anything, Wei Yang would definitely find out after a long time.
That day, Ku Lingzi fought with all his might to defend against his great enemy. In the end, if he came out one step later, even Shen Jing would be captured by True Monarch Xuanxiao, so he had no choice but to come out early.
Hua Weiyang gently stroked his chest and said, “It’s fine. During this period of time, you should stabilize your cultivation at the Secret Devil Cliff. I’ll leave the matters outside to Xian Shu and Moon. You don’t need to worry.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, “I’m not sure how strong Yun Sect is in the Land of Ancient Shu. Tell Bai Luan and Zi Yuan to be careful. If you really can’t find the Medical Saint and Medicinal Saint, come back as soon as possible. Don’t act rashly.”
‘”Alright, I’ll send a message to them and have them return as soon as possible” Hua Weiyang nodded and looked at him.
Seeing that she seemed to be perfunctory at this moment, Xiao Chen said with a serious expression, “You are not allowed to go to the Spirit Ruins Realm until I enter seclusion.”
“I know. I’ll listen to you.” Hua Weiyang stuck out his tongue and smiled. He reached out his finger and gently scratched his nose.
…
That night, the starry moon was lifeless. Outside Lustless Heaven, the sea of clouds slowly rose and fell. Hua Weiyang called for Master of Moon Valley. When the Valley Master of Moon saw that she had actually changed into a black-robed night attire, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “Palace Master, where are you going? Excellency said that he wouldn’t let you …”
“Shh …”
Hua Weiyang immediately made a gesture of silence and looked towards the Secret Devil Cliff. He whispered, “When Night Shade sent back the message, I asked them to investigate this Yun Sect. Now, it seems that the matter of Sword Burying Valley is indeed related to Excellency. That Yun Sect seems to be a bit powerful. I’m worried that they won’t be able to handle it. If something happens, I won’t be able to explain it to a fool …”
After saying that, she paused for a moment and continued, “Spirit Ruins Realm is vast. I’m afraid that Spiritual Energy won’t be able to afford it, so I called you here. Moon, with your Moon Shadow Technique, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to travel thousands of kilometers in an instant, right?”
After hearing what she said, Master of Moon Valley was stunned. He frowned and said with an embarrassed expression, “No problem, but if Excellency finds out, he will blame me …”
Hua Weiyang interrupted, “You know it, I know it. Excellency won’t know it. Besides, I’ll bring Hostility with me. Hostility is there, and there won’t be any danger.”
“Alright then …”
After all, Master of Moon Valley couldn’t beat her, so he went with her to the Secret Devil Cliff. When he arrived at the Secret Devil Cliff, Hua Weiyang made a silent gesture, signaling for her to be above. Then, he withdrew his aura and went to the bottom of the black pond.
After summoning Violence out, Hua Weiyang glanced at the cave and carefully left. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already entered a state of concentration and calm. Naturally, he was unable to discover her aura.
…
The night was dark. At this moment, in the Sword Burying Valley, the valley was shattered and rocks were rugged. The giant swords were also broken and buried in the pile of rocks. The entire valley was no longer surrounded by the Spiritual Qi of the past, only a deathly silence.
The palaces and houses also collapsed, a tragic scene.
At this moment, in the shattered plaza, apart from a few corpses lying there, there were also a few people tied up. All of them were disciples of the Buried Sword Valley. Gongsun Zhang, the eldest disciple of Yin Jian, was one of them.
Their faces were bruised and blood continuously flowed out from the corners of their mouths. Their bodies were also stained with blood. Clearly, they had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.
In front of them stood a man dressed in white. The man held a sword in his hand. Blood was still dripping from the sword. He looked down at them from above and said indifferently, “What’s wrong?” Do you still want to keep your mouth shut? Gongsun Zhang has already escaped with his men. The rest of you are here to be scapegoats. Are you still unwilling to tell us where the formation eye that suppresses the earth vein is? Or perhaps, at this time, do you still expect the Lord of Lustless Heaven to save you … ”
The night breeze blew coldly, bringing with it a bone-piercing chill. Their hands were tied, their acupoints sealed, and they were unable to move at all. The blood of the corpses beside them had not yet solidified, and they had just been killed by the white-clothed man.
Yin Jian raised his head and looked at him with hatred, “I told you, my junior brothers and I don’t know what kind of earth veins there are in the valley, much less where the array eye you mentioned is …”
“Truly, no coffin, no tears …”
The white-clothed man’s voice was faint. As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He handed the sword forward, and with a “chi” sound, another sword pierced through one of his chests.
“Junior Brother!”
Yin Jian’s eyes immediately split open as he watched his junior brother fall back into a pool of blood. At this moment, he almost shouted at the top of his lungs, “What do you want? So what if you kill all of us? You Yun Sect are also dignified and righteous. Do you want to kill us all like this? What’s the difference between you and the Devil Sect?”
“Demon Sect …”
The white-clothed man smiled coldly. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword. He said indifferently, “That’s because you have never seen how the Devil Sect behaved. That’s why you feel this way. If you were to fall into the hands of the Devil Sect, your fate would probably be a hundred times more miserable than it is now …”
The night wind was cold, and the man’s words were even colder. At this moment, on a mountain peak outside the plaza, a shadow floated on the cliff. It was Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, and the others.
“Don’t act rashly.”
Bai Luan pressed down on Zi Yuan. Her gaze was sharp as she stared at the plaza below. There were more than a dozen experts from Yun Sect outside the plaza. However, with their abilities, it was not difficult for them to assassinate these dozen people and rescue those people from the Buried Sword Valley.
However, Night Shade had always obeyed orders. The orders they received were to investigate Yun Sect. The orders did not include saving people.
Moreover, it was still unknown whether the few powerful figures from Yun Sect who destroyed Buried Sword Valley were still hiding nearby, waiting for Gongsun Zhang to come back to save them. As the leader of Bai Luan, Night Shade would never let anyone else take risks at this time.
“But …”
Zi Yuan furrowed his brows and whispered, “Those people seem to be Excellency’s friends. If we don’t save them, they will all be killed by the people of Yun Sect …”
“That won’t do either!”
Bai Luan’s expression was solemn, and her tone was resolute. “No one is allowed to act until we receive the order. Do you hear me clearly?”
Time passed slowly, The night was getting darker and darker. On the plaza, the corpses were already cold. The white-clothed man in Yun Sect looked at the few people and said, “Alright, just wait here and see who will come to save you. Before dawn, if you don’t tell me where the array eye is, I will cut off your hands and feet, gouge out your eyes, and cut off your tongues, making you feel as if you are going to die …”
After saying that, the white-clothed man threw the sword in his hand heavily onto the ground, and with a “clang” sound, he left the square.
Above the cliff, Zi Yuan’s eyes lit up and she whispered, “Their guard is relaxed. It would be best if they went to save someone now.”
“No!”
Bai Luan’s attitude was still firm. If it was an ordinary small sect, it would be fine. However, the more she looked at Yun Sect, the more unusual it became. There must be a big shot behind it. She would never act without permission until she received an order.
At this moment, the spiritual message finally arrived. Bai Luan immediately took out the jade note. Zi Yuan hurriedly asked, “How is it? Has Excellency sent the message?”
“It’s Palace Master Wei Yang …”
At this moment, Bai Luan’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Zi Yuan saw that the space between her eyebrows was deeply knitted and asked softly, “Is that asking us to save someone?”
“Let’s evacuate immediately.”
Bai Luan put away the jade slip and did not hesitate. She immediately sent her divine sense to the rest of the people in the Buried Sword Valley, “Everyone, listen to the order, immediately evacuate!”
“Wait …”
Zi Yuan’s face was slightly shocked. She glanced at the bottom of the cliff and whispered, “If we leave, they will undoubtedly die. If …”
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Bai Luan suddenly shot her two cold gazes, “Zi Yuan, are you going to disobey the order?”
“But …”
Zi Yuan’s eyebrows were still slightly knitted. He glanced at the bottom of the cliff again. “Most of them are friends that Excellency knows here, You heard that Yun Sect killed them all just now, partly because of Excellency … I know Excellency better than you do. If Excellency found out that we were here and didn’t save people, he wouldn’t blame us, but he would definitely blame himself. The lives of these people in Sword Burying Valley have nothing to do with me, but I don’t want Excellency to embarrass me … ”
“Let me ask you again, are you really going to disobey my orders?”
At this moment, Bai Luan’s gaze became even colder. Zi Yuan trembled slightly, but in the end, she lowered her head silently, “Zi Yuan … doesn’t dare.”
“Let’s go!”
The group finally left the Sword Burying Valley. Along the way, Zi Yuan remained silent. Bai Luan did not say anything. It was not that she did not understand Xiao Chen. It was precisely because she understood that she did not allow Zi Yuan to save people.
Zi Yuan was impulsive, but she was even more concerned about the overall situation. Just now, she received a message from Hua Weiyang, and the other party not only told them to immediately evacuate, but they were also on their way here. Even Palace Master Wei Yang was alarmed. It could be seen that Yun Sect was not an ordinary matter.
It was precisely because Bai Luan understood that the person Excellency cared about the most was Hua Weiyang. Therefore, at this time, there was no accident. The people from Buried Sword Valley could die, but Palace Master Wei Yang could not have any accidents. This was what she believed in her heart.
After traveling for hundreds of miles, the group arrived at a secluded valley. However, when they saw that there was no light in the surroundings and the night wind shook the tree shadows gently, Bai Luan stopped and took out a jade slip to sense Hua Weiyang’s location. It was far from Lustless Heaven in Shu. Even if there was an escape technique, it was not easy for them to arrive.
After a while, Bai Luan put away the jade slip and looked at everyone behind her. Seeing that Zi Yuan was still silently lowering her head, she said with a frown, “Zi Yuan, are you still thinking about what happened just now?”
Zi Yuan still lowered her head and remained silent. At this moment, Bai Luan suddenly sensed a trace of abnormality and quickly walked over. She pressed her palm on her shoulder. Unexpectedly, the opponent’s entire body instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated.
“Dark Shadow Technique … shit!”
