Chapter 643: Premonition
Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were on the floor when they woke up.
Looking around, they saw familiar furniture and walls.
However, there were subtle differences that confused them.
’Was that vase always there?’ Jiang Yue wondered, looking at a blue and white porcelain vase.
"XiaoYue..." Yu Nianzhen called in a confused voice.
"Azhen." Jiang Yue also called but soon frowned.
"When did you change your clothes?" He asked.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen looked at his clothes.
As usual, he wore a black robe and black boots.
However, the design was different from what he remembered.
Similarly, the clothes Jiang Yue’s clothes also looked a little different.
Looking at each other, the two felt a sense of familiar déjà vu.
"Have we entered a past life memory?" Jiang Yue asked, recalling the incident when they crossed their reincarnation tribulation.
"It’s possible." Yu Nianzhen said, his eyes narrowed into slits.
However, something felt different.
Unlike last time, they didn’t encounter their past life selves.
"Let’s look outside." The swordsman suggested, and Jiang Yue immediately nodded.
Soon after, two people left the ancient palace and went outside.
Once outside, they extended their spiritual sense and began to look around.
However, what they discovered wasn’t what they expected.
"We are in the Zhenyue Archipelago." Jiang Yue exclaimed in an excited voice.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen couldn’t bring himself to be excited.
"Something is wrong." He said and quickly continued.
"XiaoYue, there is no sea beasts’ tide."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately looked at the sea.
As Yu Nianzhen said, the sea was calm, and there was no sea beasts’ tide.
However, he suddenly felt uneasy.
"It’s not just the sea. Why does the Archipelago feel so gloomy?" He asked.
For an hour, the two observed the Archipelago and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Azhen, I think this is the future." Jiang Yue said in an uncertain voice.
"Mmh." Yu Nianzhen nodded with a solemn expression.
"My master, Xuan Ke, and the rest are here. There are also many injured people in the Archipelago."
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Yue couldn’t help but curse.
"Xiaoyue, could we be in an illusion?"
"I don’t see any traces. Also, we are immortal realm cultivators. Who is powerful enough to draw us into an illusion?"
Yu Nianzhen frowned when he heard this.
On the surface, he and Jiang Yue were the most powerful cultivators in the Cangxing world.
However, under the surface, there were more powerful cultivators in several sealed places.
After thinking about it, Yu Nianzhen mentioned the possibility, but Jiang Yue didn’t believe it.
"It’s only been a few years since we checked the sealed spaces. I would know if one of the spaces came undone. Also, our Cangxing world is a mid-grade world. Even if those powerful entities left the sealed spaces, their cultivation would be severely suppressed. I don’t believe we would fail to notice if someone came close enough to trap us into an illusion." He said.
"It could be old man Cang."
This time, Jiang Yue didn’t argue.
After all, old man Cang was the will of the Cangxing world.
Including themselves, no one was more powerful than old man Cang in the Cangxing world.
"Let’s put the matter aside for the time being. We need to investigate what is going on in the Cangxing world."
"Good." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
After that, the two quietly left the archipelago and headed to the mainland.
However, even before they reached the mainland, they could already tell something was wrong.
Half an hour later, the two landed on the shore.
However, before they could do anything, they heard a piercing scream and unconsciously stretched their spiritual sense.
A moment later, both men frowned.
"Beasts." Jiang Yue angrily exclaimed, and a stream of qi rushed into the distance.
Soon after, three thumps were heard as if three heavy things had fallen to the ground.
"How dare they do that in broad daylight?" Jiang Yue questioned, pulling Yu Nianzhen to walk towards a group of four.
Of the four, three were grown men, and the last was a little girl.
At a glance, the little girl was less than ten, but the three beasts had not spared her.
Looking at the girl, Jiang Yue sighed, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Little girl, take this pill first. After you feel better, your big brothers will take you home." He said, giving the girl a level-one rejuvenation pill.
However, the little girl didn’t take the pill but instead looked at the two warily.
When Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue saw this, they couldn’t bear to force the girl.
After all, she had just endured a terrible trauma, and they didn’t want to compound her suffering.
That said, the current situation was too confusing.
[Azhen, these three are evil cultivators.] Jiang Yue transmitted, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
[Xaioyue, does the surrounding qi feel different to you?]
[I have also noticed. The qi feels abnormally violent.]
[It’s not suitable to cultivate in this environment for too long.]
After a cup of tea, Jiang Yue soothed the little girl and the two finally learned the truth.
From what they learned, the girl was a villager from a nearby village.
Her father was a fisherman, and her mother was a wine brewer.
Their family of three lived a relatively stable life, and her parents loved her very much.
Unexpectedly, two days ago, a group of bastards suddenly appeared in the village.
None of the villagers knew the bastards, but the people were very powerful.
In no time, they controlled everyone and did whatever they wanted.
The men were killed, and the woman, including little girls, were raped.
Seeing this, the girl’s mother used her life to help the little girl escape.
Unfortunately, she didn’t go far before the three bastards recaptured her.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue couldn’t help but frown.
’When did the Cangxing sect territory become so unsafe? How can the nearest city lord allow such a group of bastards to exist?’ They wondered.
