As the Universe Turns - Chapter 970
Chapter 970 Twin Saints’ Trace
Everything was silent in the hills where night fell. At this moment, Bai Luan and the others also immediately stopped. Earlier, they had gone to investigate Yun Sect, but they only knew that Yun Sect was a powerful force in the Shu Lands and controlled many cultivation sects in the Shu Lands. However, the details were still unclear.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang and Xiao Chen were both silent. After a while, Master of Moon Valley said, “It seems that annihilating the Buried Sword Valley in Yun Sect is only a matter of Shu. But in reality, they are also on guard against Lustless Heaven. If it is just annihilating the Buried Sword Valley, then why would a Quasi-Saint like Tang Qingshi have to come out?” From the looks of it, it is hard to guarantee that their second goal is not to attack Lustless Heaven and Excellency … ”
Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang both looked at her. The Master of Brightmoon Valley saw that both of them were looking at him. He hurriedly shook his hand and said, “I, I was just saying it casually. Palace Master and Excellency, there’s no need to take it seriously.”
“No.”
Hua Weiyang shook his head and said, “What you said just now is exactly the same. If Yun Sect’s goal is to destroy Buried Sword Valley, there is no need for experts like Tang Qingshi to come out. Since they have come out, then their real goal is Lustless Heaven.”
At this point, Hua Weiyang turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. “This time, I’m afraid Lustless Heaven has really made a lot of enemies. If you want to join the Peerless Guild, there will definitely be people who will obstruct you.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Back when he founded Lustless Heaven, he had anticipated the current situation where powerful enemies surrounded him. In the current ancient land of Xianyuan, the structure of forces had already been decided. It was already extremely difficult for a new force like Lustless Heaven to break out from various forces and intimidate everyone. It was also inevitable that enemies would form on all sides.
Let’s not talk about Xianyuan Five Realms first. In Spirit Ruins Realm alone, first was the Bei Gong Yi clan, then Heavenless Palace. Now, there was another mysterious and mysterious Yun Sect. I wonder if there will be any powerful enemies behind us in the future.
However, although Lustless Heaven had made many enemies these past few years, he had made many acquaintances outside. The Qin Clan of the Qinling Mountains, Hill of Illusory Ruins of Fairy Red Butterfly, and the others, the most important was the unfathomable Tianzhu City.
The “sick Acheron Valley” that appeared in Qilin that day, he couldn’t tell what kind of feeling it was at that time, especially when the other party looked at him as if he was looking at an old friend.
In that instant, he suddenly had a feeling that if the entire world couldn’t hold him anymore, the last place he could go would definitely be Tianzhu City.
…
The group stopped at the same spot. The forest that was hanging down at night looked a little darker. After a while, Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses. He took a few steps forward and said, “This Yun Sect is definitely not simple. After a while, Bai Luan, bring someone to investigate. Now, go back to Lustless Heaven first.”
“Yes …”
Bai Luan immediately cupped her hands, and Xiao Chen asked her, “What’s the situation on the Sword Burying Valley?”
Bai Luan did not say anything. Hua Weiyang walked forward and said, “Before the people of Yun Sect arrived at Buried Sword Valley, Gongsun Zhang left the valley with most of them. Only about twenty people were left to attract Yun Sect’s attention so that the others could safely evacuate.”
“Is that so …”
Xiao Chen looked at the forest in front of him. He couldn’t help but think of the day when Gongsun Yingxue held the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox and handed it to him. At that time, how could Gongsun Yingxue have thought that a calamity had already been brewed in the shadows?
On the day he left, he secretly cleared a hill that blocked spiritual energy for the Sword Burying Valley, allowing the fading luck of the Sword Burying Valley to condense again. He originally thought that this would ensure that the Sword Burying Valley would be safe for a hundred years, but in the end, Yun Sect still brought people here. Probably, this was a calamity that could not be avoided no matter how hard it was.
But then again, even if it was an unavoidable calamity in the Sword Burying Valley, was it related to him this time?
No matter what, there was always some guilt in his heart. If he hadn’t gone to Buried Sword Valley, perhaps Yun Sect wouldn’t have killed all of Buried Sword Valley. In the end, this result was also because of him.
Seeing that he was frowning again, Hua Weiyang knew what he was thinking and said, “There are some things that cannot be changed by human beings if they are destined. It’s not your fault.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and walked forward. “Everyone knows that things in this world are often beyond the reach of humans, but they know that they cannot be done, so they do it …”
Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw his figure slowly walking forward. Hearing his words, his heart trembled even more. What he was talking about was not the matter of the Sword Burying Valley …
Very quickly, Xiao Chen’s figure had disappeared from the other end of the forest. Hua Weiyang’s heart trembled for a moment before he thought of something. Hua Weiyang, oh Hua Weiyang, why are you so confused? Over the years, he has traveled through countless mountains and rivers for you, searching for a way to change your fate, yet you said in front of him, “There are some things that cannot be changed by human beings if they are destined to happen.”
Wouldn’t such a sentence make him feel even more uncomfortable than stabbing him in the heart?
Thinking of this, Hua Weiyang immediately chased after him. He reached out to grab him and hurriedly said, “The words I just said were not …”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. “There are many things that you know you can’t do, but because of that, like when you went to Xuan Qing alone, did you ever think … that you can’t do it?”
“Idiot …”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang was stunned. She looked at him as if her eyes had returned to those years ago. At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was so important in his heart that he … didn’t hesitate to be enemies with the entire world.
The evening breeze blew past the two of them. Dark fragrance floated around. Hua Weiyang’s eyes suddenly turned red. For all these years, she had always thought that because of some things, the two of them were gradually estranged. Especially that time, he had annihilated Yin Chunqiu’s entire family and wanted to hide it from her. Even Moon knew about it, but she could only ask about it three times from Yang Xiaoran.
When he came back from outside Lustless palace, she still remembered clearly that in the depths of his pupils, she could no longer see the shadow of the youth of the past, the youth who had once harbored the world in his heart.
She also remembered that when she first met him, she had lied about killing the people from the Immortal Retention Sect, and he had made her personally come to apologize, allowing the people from the Immortal Retention Sect to deal with him. But now, he was so easily annihilated that his hands were stained with the blood of countless people. Was this really the same person she knew before …
At that time, she became more and more afraid of the cold, not from the cold in her body, nor Lustless Heaven’s cold, but his cold.
From then on, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them. But just, just at that moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly discovered that he was still the same as before …
No matter how cold and heartless he became, it was still towards everyone in this world and outside, but he was the only one. He had never changed towards himself. He was still the same person back then, the one who called him “strange mother-in-law”, the one who carried himself on his back and was at the peak of the Snow Wind Kunlun Mountain …
He had never changed to himself. The person who had changed was clearly him …
“I’m sorry …”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed by something. He pounced on his shoulder, his eyes red.
The evening breeze blew gently by the two of them. After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps of Master of Moon Valley, Bai Luan, and the others came from the forest behind them. Only then did Hua Weiyang let go of Xiao Chen and wipe his red eyes, lest Moon should see her and laugh at her.
Late at night, the group returned to Lustless Heaven. Above the lonely peak, Shen Jing was quietly studying medical books in her room, while Zi Yuan was already asleep.
Bai Luan gently covered her with a blanket. When she turned around and left, Zi Yuan seemed to have woken up in a daze, “Is elder sister back?”
Hearing the faint sound behind her, Bai Luan walked back. Zi Yuan’s eyes were still closed, her long curved eyelashes slightly trembling. So she was talking in her sleep.
Thinking about that night, when Tang Yu broke all her meridians and crippled her hands, Bai Luan felt an indescribable pain in her heart. If she hadn’t insisted on letting Night Shade evacuate that night, perhaps it wouldn’t have been like this.
“Is she asleep?”
Outside, Xiao Chen suddenly walked in. Bai Luan turned around and saw him. She gently nodded her head and said, “The injury has stabilized. Your Excellency, don’t worry too much …”
Xiao Chen walked over and looked at Zi Yuan, who was asleep. His eyebrows gradually furrowed as he said, “Her shoulders were forcefully crushed by Tang Yu, and her meridians were forcefully broken. Shen Jing said that it would be difficult to recover. Even if her injuries were healed in the future, she would probably …”
At this point, he stopped talking and sighed softly. In these past few years, Bai Luan rarely saw him sigh. He never thought that he would sigh for himself and the others.
After a while, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at Bai Luan. “Unless we find the Healing Saint and Medicine Saint who disappeared from the Spirit Ruins Realm more than 40 years ago. If these two people were to make a move, together with Shen Jing’s Spirit Pivot Scripture, it would be possible for Zi Yuan to recover completely.”
At this point, Xiao Chen paused for a moment, then turned around and looked out of the window. He continued, “Besides, after Wei Yang used his Spiritual Energy today, that cold injury seemed to have broken out again. Just the effects of the Spiritual Fox Blood were getting weaker and weaker, and it was completely useless in the end …”
At the end of his sentence, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Bai Luan. “This time, you went out to search for the traces of the Medical Saint and the Medicinal Saint. Did you find anything?”
Hearing this, Bai Luan knitted his eyebrows. Forty years ago, the Ten Saints had disappeared from Spirit Ruins Realm without a trace. From now on, there was no news of them. Now, it was not easy to find them. This time, sending everyone from Night Shade would only be able to find some clues that might be relevant.
Seeing her current expression, Xiao Chen knew that Night Shade would definitely discover something when he went out this time. However, she was not sure yet. Perhaps it was because of the matter of Burying Sword Valley that she was delayed.
After a long time, Bai Luan slowly regained his senses and said, “On that day, Ruoxi sent back news that there was a place called ‘Yun Yaochuan’ north of Yu Ding. There was an extremely skilled person living there, known as’ Yun Chuan Medical Immortal ‘. I wonder if she was the’ Medical Saint Shui Hanyan ‘that disappeared back then.”
“Yunchuan Medical Immortal …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows slightly narrowed. Bai Luan continued, “Medicine Saint Shui Hanyan, Medicine Saint Bu Yundian, and Poison Saint Tsang Feng Yun. According to my investigation, the relationship between the three of them was quite shallow back then, but they didn’t know how to break apart. It seems that Poison Saint Tsang Feng Yun joined a mysterious organization. Later …”
At this point, Bai Luan paused and looked up at Xiao Chen’s expression before continuing, “Afterwards, Poison Saint Tsang Fengyun participated in the pursuit of Xiao Zhufeng and was eventually killed by Xiao Zhufeng. Since then, there has been no news of Medicine Saint Shui Hanyan and Medicine Saint Bu Yundian.”
“Poison Saint Tsang Feng Yun is not dead.”
After listening to her, Xiao Chen said indifferently. Bai Luan was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said, “Your Excellency means …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly as he looked out of the window at the boundless darkness and said, “I have seen this person before. It’s just that he has changed his appearance.”
Back in the Qinling Mountains, he didn’t know why he was certain that Xiahou Jie was the real Poison Saint Tibetan Feng Yun. The person who died at the hands of his father back then was only a substitute. The real Poison Saint Storm was Xiahou Jie himself. He wanted to let people know that Poison Saint Storm was dead and that there would be no more Poison Saint Storm in this world.
However, why did these people have to hide their identities, and who ordered them to chase after their father back then, and why did they chase after their father? Wrong …
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something. His expression became exceptionally solemn. He looked at Bai Luan and said, “Did you just say that Poison Saint Zang Fengyun once joined a mysterious organization?”
