As the Universe Turns - Chapter 971
Chapter 971 Yun Yaochuan
Looking at Excellency’s solemn expression, Bai Luan immediately regained his composure and nodded. “This subordinate has investigated and found out that Poison Saint Tsang Feng Yun had joined a mysterious organization back then. Not only did he join a mysterious organization, but several other Ten Saints also entered this organization. As for what exactly this organization was, this subordinate has not been able to find out for the time being …”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed even deeper. From the looks of it, many of the Ten Saints had entered this mysterious organization. At the very least, the ones chasing after his father must be people from this organization …
What about father?
Back then, Father was the youngest Ten Saints. This organization must have targeted Father. Has Father also entered this organization …
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a deep pond. He felt a wave of coldness. The demons outside Xianyuan Five Realms were hard to distinguish, and there were four seas and eight wilderness coveting them. Inside Spirit Ruins Realm, the hearts of the people were similarly unpredictable, and undercurrents surged.
However, what was everyone’s goal?
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly had a feeling that perhaps his birth was not simple. Just like what Qin Guan had said when he was born in the Qinling Mountains, the night he was born, the sky descended for ten thousand years, turning a cold night into a day …
“Your Excellency … what do you plan to do now?” Seeing that he was completely silent, Bai Luan asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and said, “Go to Yun Yaochuan.”
“But …”
Bai Luan hesitated for a moment before she raised her head and said, “This subordinate is not completely sure if that medical immortal Yun Yaochuan is that medical saint back then …”
Xiao Chen said, “You have to know the depth of the river. Only by crossing it personally will you know.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Luan and said, “I’m going to Yun Yaochuan this time. You guys go investigate the Yun Sect.”
“Yes …”
Bai Luan cupped his hands and didn’t say anything else. Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked at Zi Yuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a trace of soul force aura coming from the Soul Jade. This soul force aura … was Ku Lingzi.
“What happened to Excellency?” Seeing his expression suddenly change, Bai Luan asked softly.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He immediately took out the Soul Jade left behind by Ku Lingzi from his sleeve. At this moment, the Soul Jade flickered endlessly. Bai Luan’s face was slightly surprised, “It’s Senior Ku Lingzi …”
Thinking back to the day when Tai Yinsi and True Monarch Xuanxiao attacked together, and if it wasn’t for Ku Lingzi desperately resisting, the consequences would have been unimaginable. At this moment, Bai Luan’s expression immediately became grave. “Senior Ku Lingzi is in danger.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. That day outside, Ku Lingzi used all of his soul power to block Tai Yinsi and True Monarch Xuanxiao’s attacks. Now, it was almost half a year since he was captured by True Monarch Xuanxiao.
In these six months, True Monarch Xuanxiao will not kill him, but he will definitely be tortured to force him to reveal that ancient taboo technique, the Reincarnation Taboo …
And today, this soul jade suddenly flickered so fiercely, could it be that he had encountered a real danger? Could it be his master, one of the Hegemons of the Eight Desolates, the Hegemon of the Nether Dao, the Nether Soul Master?
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed even deeper. If it was True Monarch Xuanxiao, it would be fine, but if it was the Nether Soul Lord, then things would be bad.
The Nether Soul Lord was already a Saint realm expert, and with his current cultivation, he would be practically courting death.
After a while, the soul jade stopped flickering, and Bai Luan slowly regained her senses. She looked at him and whispered, “Your Excellency, what do you plan to do?”
Xiao Chen tightly pinched the Soul Jade in his hand. The space between his eyebrows was deeply locked in silence. Over the years, Ku Lingzi had saved him from danger time and time again. Even though he and Wei Yang had rescued Ku Lingzi from the seal back then, what was due had long since been paid back.
Right now, he owed Ku Lingzi. That day, True Monarch Xuanxiao and Tai Yinsi joined forces to attack. Ku Lingzi could have escaped, but in order to protect himself and Shen Jing, he had used all of his soul power. Otherwise, how could he have been captured by True Monarch Xuanxiao? Even in the last moment, he had been schemed by True Monarch Xuanxiao to protect himself from successfully breaking through his cultivation.
But now, he could only watch helplessly as he suffered, but there was nothing he could do …
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He wouldn’t act recklessly. He still remembered the words left to him when Ku Lingzi was captured. The Four Seas and Eight Desolates were no small matter, especially the Eight Desolates Dao. It was definitely not as easy to move around as Yu Ding in the Spirit Ruins Realm. If his cultivation wasn’t high enough, he would rashly move forward. Once he was trapped within, even the last person who could save Ku Lingzi would be gone.
“It’s Senior Ku Lingzi … Did something happen …”
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded from the bed. It was the voices of the two of them that woke Zi Yuan up. Bai Luan immediately walked over and gently pressed her arm, “How do you feel?”
“I, I’m fine …”
Zi Yuan shook his head. Seeing Excellency’s worried expression, he whispered, “Excellency, did something happen to Senior Ku Lingzi?”
Xiao Chen frowned deeply. He looked at her and said, “Zi Yuan, you have been recovering for a while. Don’t worry about anything else. Bai Luan, come out with me.” After saying that, he turned around and went out of the room.
Outside, Xiao Chen glanced at Shen Jing’s house and made a silent gesture. The two of them immediately left Lonely Peak.
After returning to Wuyu Peak, Xiao Chen turned around and said to Bai Luan, “Can we split up four more people?”
There were only twenty-four people in Night Shade. Some of them had to be assigned to look for Spiritual Bloodline Force. Others had to investigate the suspicions of Ning Village back then. The rest had to look for Yun Sect, as well as the Healing Saint and Medicine Saint. Now that there was still a Zi Yuan missing, there was no longer enough manpower.
Bai Luan knew his intentions and nodded, “Yes.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen turned to face the night in the distance and said, “Mobilize four people and go to Immortal North Ancient Realm immediately. Do not reveal your identity and whereabouts.”
Bai Luan cupped her hands and said, “This subordinate will do it immediately.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen gently nodded, his hands behind his back. He turned his head slightly and said, “Remember, I didn’t ask you to save him this time. Don’t alarm him.”
“This subordinate understands.”
Bai Luan nodded. She knew that this time, Excellency only wanted them to find out where Ku Lingzi was being held and whether he was safe. With their current strength, even if they were to act together, they would not be able to rescue him from Xuanxiao Palace.
“You go.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and turned around. He looked in the direction where Ku Lingzi had been captured. His fingers were getting tighter and tighter. Old man, you must hold on. I will definitely come and save you.
“Uh!”
At this moment, he suddenly let out a muffled snort. Then, his face turned deathly pale, and black gas appeared between his eyebrows. Before Bai Luan could walk far, he heard his strange movements and immediately turned back, “Excellency!”
“Uh …”
When she returned, Xiao Chen’s body revealed a demonic aura. The five fingers of his right hand were tightly gripping his left wrist. On his wrist, a nearly two-inch long black gas had appeared. Clearly, the Three Corpse Demon had awakened again.
At this moment, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. Taking advantage of his clear consciousness, he quickly condensed the Primordial Purple Qi in his body and swiftly moved his fingers down his left wrist. Only then did he finally suppress Three Corpse Demon.
“Your Excellency …”
Recalling the terrible scene just now, Bai Luan was still a little shocked. Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Indeed, Ku Lingzi was right. Every time Three Corpse Demon wakes up, he will definitely get a point …”
Hearing this, Bai Luan frowned deeply. After a long time, he said, “Otherwise, this subordinate will bring people to Yun Yaochuan. Excellency will stay in Lustless Heaven …”
“No …”
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen shook his head and denied, “Who are the Medical Saint and the Medicinal Saint? Even if you found them, how could you invite them?”
“This …”
Bai Luan was slightly stunned. She hadn’t thought about this question for a while ago. The Ten Saints were extremely powerful existences. Those who could enter the Ten Saints would definitely be different from ordinary Quasi-Saints, let alone the two Medical Saints and Medicinal Saints.
They really can’t hire these two by themselves. Only with Excellency personally appearing, perhaps there will be a sliver of an opportunity …
