Chapter 772 - 270: Innate Five-Colored Earth (Part 5)
"Go!"
"Enough..."
"Let’s withdraw for now."
After stopping, the Golden Core cultivators rushed downward with their subordinates, flying off in all directions.
"The others may leave, but your Huangsheng Sect must stay."
Seeing that Qu Yunhe and the other two were planning to leave with their disciples,
Shen Wen’an’s figure flickered, blocking their path directly.
Qu Yunhe’s face darkened.
He knew Shen Wen’an stopped them because of the previous incident where they secretly borrowed half of the Shen Family’s fortune.
Surrounded by others, Qu Yunhe sighed inwardly, lowered his stance, and said with cupped hands, "Fellow Daoist Shen, it was a moment of folly on my part. Please, tell me how we can resolve this issue peacefully."
Three against nine, they definitely couldn’t win a fight.
At this point, the priority was to find a way to ensure their safety.
The three of them were the backbone of the entire Huangsheng Sect. If they were lost here, the entire sect would be doomed.
Shen Wen’an hadn’t expected Qu Yunhe to be so cowardly. Seeing him so submissive, he thought for a moment before speaking, "If you took something from the Shen Family, it must be returned."
"Additionally..."
Before Shen Wen’an could finish, the space behind Qu Yunhe and the other two suddenly twisted.
Immediately after, a figure slowly emerged from that distorted space.
"Senior?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, Shen Wen’an was momentarily stunned, then cupped his hands in salute.
Beside him, Huang Lingshan and others quickly followed suit, offering a respectful "Senior."
"Little ones, give this old man some face, and let’s end this matter here."
Dressed in a short ge cloth shirt and wearing a conical hat, Luo Tianxing stepped out from the distorted space, smiling warmly at Shen Wen’an.
Hearing this, Shen Wen’an felt a weight in his heart, puzzled.
How could Huangsheng Sect be involved with this Nascent Soul True Monarch?
"Alright, you three take your subordinates and leave."
Luo Tianxing glanced coldly at the trio, speaking indifferently.
Though the three didn’t know Luo Tianxing, they sensed from Shen Wen’an’s respectful demeanor that this sudden old man was likely an extraordinary figure.
"Thank you, Senior!"
"Thank you, Senior!"
After repeatedly expressing gratitude, Qu Yunhe hurriedly used wind manipulation to descend, taking the surviving disciples of Huangsheng Sect and flying toward the distance.
Shen Wen’an clenched his fist secretly, feeling very unwilling.
Watching Huangsheng Sect leave, Luo Tianxing noticed Shen Wen’an’s expression and chuckled.
"I know you are dissatisfied, enough."
"Follow me."
His figure flickered, flying into the distance.
After some hesitation, Shen Wen’an followed, sword in hand, to a mountain peak untouched by the battle.
Once they landed at the summit, Luo Tianxing waved his hand, setting up a barrier. He turned and seriously asked, "Are you curious about the connection between me and Huangsheng Sect?"
Shen Wen’an lowered his head without speaking.
Luo Tianxing spoke solemnly, "If this had been before, even if you destroyed Huangsheng Sect, I wouldn’t have intervened."
"But now I can’t."
"Why?" Shen Wen’an immediately asked, then slightly cupped his hands, "Qu Yunhe of Huangsheng Sect used despicable means to steal half of my Shen Family’s fortune, which harms everyone in my family."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing grinned, "Didn’t your Shen Family also receive a Dao Seal Jade Carving from them?"
"Alright, the Dao Seal Jade Carving is the top cultivation technique of Yangnao Land. The complete ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal’ is a true immortal technique with endless wonders."
"Even us Nascent Soul True Monarch realm old monsters covet it."
"It’s just that it’s difficult to assemble."
Shen Wen’an remained silent.
Luo Tianxing glanced at him, "Telling you this is also for the good of your Shen Family."
"I won’t hide it from you, just now, the Supreme Elder behind Huangsheng Sect approached me."
"His identity isn’t convenient to disclose to you; just know that he has significant karmic entanglements with Huangsheng Sect and doesn’t want to see them destroyed."
"If you insist on killing the three Golden Core members of Huangsheng Sect, provoking him, I need not explain the severe consequences."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an’s expression turned grave.
The Supreme Elder of Huangsheng Sect actively sought out Luo Tianxing...
This means Huangsheng Sect’s Supreme Elder might be, like Luo Tianxing, a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Or at least a contemporary cultivator whose realm is above Purple Mansion Peak.
"You don’t need to worry."
"That old guy just owes a favor from the past and agreed to become the Supreme Elder of Huangsheng Sect."
"He’s used to a carefree life and won’t intervene unless it’s a matter of life and death for Huangsheng Sect."
"Nor would he lower himself to deal with you young ones."
As Luo Tianxing spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and he revealed a fist-sized five-colored mud ball.
The mud ball emitted a faint spiritual charm, looking very peculiar.
"This is the old man’s compensation for your Shen Family, so accept it."
After handing over the mud ball, Luo Tianxing sighed, "The old man also doesn’t want to become entangled with your Shen Family."
"This Innate Five-Colored Earth is an accompanying soil of Dao Source of a world, with infinite applications."
"Honestly, even I was tempted to quietly keep it."
After listening, Shen Wen’an accepted the fist-sized five-colored mud ball. After some hesitation, he suddenly said, "If Senior likes it, you can have it."
After all, he didn’t know the exact effects of this so-called Innate Five-Colored Earth.
If this could make a Nascent Soul True Monarch owe the Shen Family a favor, it seemed quite worthwhile.
