Chapter 732 - 264: Impeccable Golden Body
Not long after Shen Wen’an left Yunshui City, a streak of light swiftly flew over from the southern bank of the Laishui River, breaking through the void.
After the streak of light passed over the Laishui River, it landed directly on an open space not far from Yunshui City.
"Who are you!?"
The situation around Yangnao Land is currently very tense, and the Shen Family has temporarily increased the number of patrol cultivators around Yunshui City.
As soon as the figure transformed from the streak of light appeared, more than ten Shen Family cultivators surrounded it from the periphery.
"I’d like to trouble you to report that I am Miss Wushi Qianrou from the Bai Xuan Sect, here on an important mission to Yunshui City."
Wushi Qianrou, wearing a bright red long dress and with a graceful figure, slightly bowed in salute.
Among the surrounding Shen Family cultivators, some of the older ones were vaguely aware of the Bai Xuan Sect’s matters and didn’t dare to neglect her.
Immediately, they courteously clasped their hands and said:
"Daoist friend, please wait."
"I will report immediately."
Their figure transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Yunshui City.
Not long after reporting through layers, two figures flew out of Yunshui City.
They were Shen Chongzhen and Shen Xiuzhuo.
After relinquishing the candidate status for the position of Patriarch, Shen Xiuzhuo voluntarily took up a position in the Clan Soldiers camp.
During this period, Shen Chongzhen happened to be training among the Clan Soldiers as well. The uncle and nephew were not much different in age, and Shen Xiuzhuo was fond of his younger uncle.
The two of them approached to meet Wushi Qianrou, who was quietly waiting.
"Is it her?"
Shen Chongzhen asked curiously.
Shen Xiuzhuo had seen Wushi Qianrou once in the past and still remembered her.
"Uncle Chongzhen, this is not the place to talk."
Shen Chongxu’s identity in the Southern Border was a secret, and there were quite a few Shen Family Clan Soldiers around, making it inconvenient to speak some words.
"Daoist friend, please follow us into the city."
Shen Xiuzhuo spoke, and Wushi Qianrou lowered her head and followed them towards the manor in the city.
In the side room, Shen Wenxing took the storage bag handed over by Wushi Qianrou, weighed it slightly, and spoke, "How is Chongxu now?"
"I heard he wasn’t lightly injured back then."
Wushi Qianrou slightly bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Patriarch, for your concern. The master is now unharmed."
"I am here not only to deliver items but also to convey some instructions from the master."
Her gaze swept towards Shen Xiuzhuo and Shen Chongzhen nearby.
"No problem, just speak."
Seeing this, Shen Wenxing smiled and opened his mouth.
Wushi Qianrou nodded and said, "There is news from the Central Domain of the Southern Border; it seems that the major forces of the Southern Border have received some sort of warning in Yangnao Land."
"Additionally, following the master’s instructions, our Bai Xuan Sect disciples were searching for ancient texts related to Witchcraft and Gu Skill in the Southern Border, and accidentally discovered that a strange group of cultivators has recently been secretly searching for historical ancient texts prior to the era of the Daying Immortal Mansion."
"The master suspects that this group might have significant backing, but to avoid alerting the enemy, we didn’t dare to investigate too deeply."
"I was also tasked to deliver this news to the Elder Patriarch."
A group of mysterious people is searching for historical ancient texts from before the Daying Immortal Mansion in the Southern Border?
Shen Wenxing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "I have noted this down. Does Chongxu have any other instructions?"
Wushi Qianrou slightly shook her head.
"Is there any message from the Elder Patriarch for the master that you want me to deliver?"
Shen Wenxing thought for a moment and said, "Tell Chongxu that everything at home is fine, so don’t worry."
"Whether it is the Southern Border or Yangnao Land, neither is stable right now. Let him be cautious and if there is any danger, return to Yunshui City immediately."
After taking note of these words in her mind, Wushi Qianrou stood up and made a salute.
"Then, I shall return now."
"Elder Patriarch, farewell."
Shen Wenxing nodded and said, "Xiuzhuo, help father see Miss Qianrou off."
...
Black Water Pavilion.
As Shen Wenxing brought the news investigated by Shen Chongxu to the second floor, Shen Yuan was in the process of deducing matters related to the ancient city at the riverbed of the Laishui River.
That ancient city seems to be connected to higher-level matters, causing him to consume a significant amount of Power of Great Derivation without obtaining a concrete hexagram or prophecy.
Just as Shen Wenxing came up from the staircase, his eyes saw his father’s tightly shut eyes, with rich Power of Great Derivation surrounding his body. Not daring to disturb him, he quietly retreated to the first floor.
Time quickly passed for half an hour, and the aura of Power of Great Derivation upstairs gradually receded.
When Shen Wenxing came up again, he found his father already standing by the window on the second floor, gazing into the distance with a serious expression.
"Father."
He slightly bowed and called softly, then approached him.
"Chongxu sent over some things and also brought a message."
Shen Yuan turned around and walked slowly towards the desk.
Shen Wenxing followed him to the desk, personally pouring tea for both himself and his father.
"It seems that major forces in the Southern Border might have received a warning from the Chess Player."
"And a mysterious group is now secretly searching for historical ancient texts from before the Daying Immortal Mansion in the Southern Border."
Shen Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "This group should be from the Tribulation Fire Sect."
"Wen’an had mentioned before that after the Tribulation Fire Sect stirred up a bloody storm in Danzhou, they secretly cooperated with the Underworld, using the power of the Underworld to infiltrate Yangnao Land."
"From the current perspective, the mysterious Golden Core cultivators who had approached various forces including Fushan Country were likely them."
"They were the ones who disclosed the matter of the Spirit to various major forces."
Shen Wenxing came to a sudden realization.
"Then what does father think they are searching for in the historical ancient texts from before the Daying Immortal Mansion?"
Shen Yuan thought for a moment and sneered, "Just their various schemes, which are temporarily not much connected to us."
"Don’t worry too much about this for now. There’s a bit of trouble I encountered here."
Picking up the tea cup before him, Shen Yuan gently took a sip and said, "I just did some deduction on that ancient city under the river. Although I did not get a specific prophecy, I vaguely received a hexagram of ’Water Gold’."
