Luo Tianxing had a bitter smile on his face.

"You have to give me some time to prepare, right?"

"Besides, searching for Beichen Immortal Mountain also requires time..."

"Forget it, forget it." Xu Xiu interrupted him, saying, "Since you’ve made up your mind to leave, I won’t forcefully keep you here."

"Two years then, in two years you can leave whenever you want."

"But... are you sure you’re not interested in the good things buried in Yangnao Land?"

Luo Tianxing shook his head.

Right now, he only wanted to leave this place of strife and didn’t want to get involved.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Xu Xiu did not persuade him further and simply waved his hand to smooth out the distorted space.

After they finished their conversation, the aura on Luo Tianxing’s body began to change slightly before his figure flashed and he directly dashed into the barrier not far ahead.

...

Yunshui City.

In the small courtyard where Shen Wen’an lived.

Having stripped away the Golden Nature, Shen Wen’an’s strength had greatly declined, and he was now contemplating the combination of Sword Intent and Sword Techniques in the courtyard.

He had already heard about Xu Xiu’s plan to use a blood sacrifice to foster Spirit Elicitation.

The few years remaining until Dao collapse were clearly insufficient for him to reconsolidate his Inner Core Sword Pill.

Fortunately, there was still a Purple Mansion Dao Palace within his Dantian, and his Sword Intent Law had improved greatly compared to before.

If he could perfectly merge Sword Intent Law with Sword Techniques, the power he could unleash wouldn’t be weaker than some cultivators at the Late Stage or even Perfection Realm of Golden Core.

During his recent research into Sword Techniques, he suddenly gained many insights.

He also understood that Shen Chongzhen’s insistence on the path of Technique Cultivator was accidentally the right one.

As he reached the Purple Mansion Realm, his comprehension of laws deepened.

Furthermore, the array formed in his Dantian using Underworld power back then helped a lot. Now, in terms of understanding and mastery of laws, he was not inferior to those seasoned Purple Mansion experts of old.

"Father."

Shen Chongzhen walked in from outside the courtyard, greeted him hastily, and headed towards the room.

Soon afterwards, he rushed out from the room in a hurry.

"Stop."

Shen Wen’an glanced at him and said, "You’ve been wandering away from home recently, what have you been busy with?"

Being stopped, Shen Chongzhen embarrassedly scratched his head, his eyes evasive, "Nothing... I’ve not been busy with anything."

Putting away his sword, Shen Wen’an walked over slowly, examined him, and then sneered, "Lying in front of your father who is a Sword Cultivator, you’re still too young for that."

Shen Chongzhen’s expression froze, and he then bowed and pleaded softly, "Father, let me off for now."

"Someone’s waiting for me outside."

"I’ll explain everything to you when I return."

"I’m off, Father!"

With a wave, Shen Chongzhen took off in a flash.

Shen Wen’an stood in the courtyard, looking afar at a graceful silver-haired figure standing outside the small courtyard, muttering with a somewhat strange expression, "This little rascal... is in heat?"

"Kid, that’s a heavenly girl, already at Purple Mansion at such a young age. If you truly have intentions, there’s quite a bit of resistance..."

Shaking his head as he spoke to himself, he decided not to intervene.

Zhou Xuan is indeed a heavenly girl of Ice God Palace, but Shen Chongzhen’s talent is not lacking either.

If he had the profound foundation of Ice God Palace to back him, he might already be a young Sword Immortal by now.

He didn’t want to worry too much about his son’s affairs.

If his son liked her, let him pursue it; if successful, that’s great, and if not, the setbacks he experienced would also contribute to his growth.

Watching his son hastily approach Zhou Xuan, the two walked side by side towards the outskirts of the city. Shen Wen’an slowly returned to the Martial Arts Arena, just as he was about to continue contemplating Sword Intent, he suddenly felt the Communication Stone vibrating.

Slowly taking out the Communication Stone, he sensed the familiar aura upon it and smiled warmly.

"Husband."

Wei Qiuling’s voice came from the Communication Stone.

Shen Wen’an responded.

Wei Qiuling continued, "Are you home, husband?"

"I will soon be coming to Yunshui City with Master Jiang."

Shen Wen’an said, "I am at home. Is Elder Jiang coming for a reason?"

Wei Qiuling said they would speak once they met, then ended the communication.

Putting away the Communication Stone, Shen Wen’an pondered slightly and then roughly guessed the purpose of his wife Wei Qiuling and Jiang Xiuqi’s visit. He immediately walked slowly towards the old residence.

In the side room of the old residence, Shen Chongming, who rushed back from Danzhou, was instructing Shen Xiuyan to send someone to notify the major affiliated families.

Starting today, the cultivators of the major affiliated families are strictly prohibited from going out. If they disobey and get accidentally captured as sacrifices, it’s their own fault.

As Shen Wen’an walked slowly over, the two immediately stopped their discussion and stood to respectfully bow:

"Third Uncle (Third Grandfather)."

Shen Wen’an nodded and said, "Elder Jiang from Luoxia Mountain will come over shortly."

"I guess he might be here to inquire about Spirit Elicitation. What did Elder Luo say when you went to Danzhou?"

Shen Chongming glanced at Shen Xiuyan and said, "You go ahead and busy yourself."

After Shen Xiuyan bowed and left, the uncle and nephew came to sit by the chairs.

"Elder Luo has agreed to the blood sacrifice, doing his best to protect our Shen Family’s cultivators."

"I just sent Xiuyan to inform the major affiliated families, strictly prohibiting their cultivators from going out during this time, to avoid being accidentally captured by Elder Luo."

"Since Elder Jiang is here, we might as well inform him about this matter."

"Aside from the cultivators of our Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain in Yangnao Land, I don’t know if Elder Luo can gather a million offerings."

Shen Wen’an didn’t speak.

The Shen Family couldn’t interfere with such matters, even if they could, they wouldn’t easily get involved.

Great Prosperity True Monarch Xu Xiu’s strength was unknown, not to mention several Nascent Soul True Monarchs had appeared behind him.
