Chapter 902 - 292: The Blood Sacrifice Begins (Part 3)
Who would want to easily offend this force?
"Third Uncle’s cultivation nowadays..."
Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations of Shen Wen’an, who is only at the Middle to Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, Shen Chongming changed his tone and spoke solemnly.
"Cultivation..."
Before he finished speaking, two figures had already landed at the courtyard gate of the old residence.
Sensing the arrival of the two, Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming came out of the side room.
After mutual greetings, they headed to the side room and sat down.
Just as Shen Wen’an had guessed, Jiang Xiuqi and Wei Qiuling had indeed come regarding the matter of the blood sacrifice and spirit.
"I got the news that the senior from Danzhou has already made a move, and is plundering all the way through Beidi County."
"Wherever he passes, any cultivators from Yangnao Land, regardless of where they hide, have not escaped."
"Chongming, this matter..."
Jiang Xiuqi’s face was very grave.
He did not know that Shen Chongming had already made an agreement with Luo Tianxing.
"Elder Jiang, Third Aunt, don’t worry, Chongming has already discussed this with that senior."
"We are about to inform Luoxia Mountain; in the coming period, it’s best not to let the disciples go out."
"Elder Luo will avoid Yunzhong County and go to other places to capture sacrifices first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiuqi and Wei Qiuling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This matter is truly a catastrophe for Yangnao Land."
Jiang Xiuqi sighed with emotion.
Shen Chongming also let out a slight sigh: "Upper cultivators are ruthless, treating living beings as straw dogs."
"In this time of impending collapse, it’s fortunate we can preserve ourselves..."
The three nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Since that’s the case, I must hurry back to warn the disciples."
"Some of those young ones are still out guarding Luoxia Mountain’s properties."
Jiang Xiuqi hurriedly got up and spoke after feeling a wave of emotion.
"Qiuling has rarely returned, you can catch up while I handle the sect’s affairs myself."
Wei Qiuling hesitated for a moment, thinking that with Luo Tianxing’s care, Luoxia Mountain and the Shen Family would be fine, so she didn’t insist.
The three escorted him to the door, where Jiang Xiuqi transformed into a stream of light and hurriedly left.
"There’s nothing else at the moment, Chongming should be busy."
Knowing that there are many family matters at hand, Shen Wen’an did not chat idly with him, calmly spoke, and then he and Wei Qiuling headed to the small courtyard down the mountain.
The couple came to the pavilion in the courtyard, where Wei Qiuling looked around and showed a trace of warmth.
"I’ve told Grandmaster, once the Dao collapses, if Luoxia Mountain is lucky to be preserved, I will resign as Sect Leader."
Shen Wen’an smiled lightly and nodded.
Wei Qiuling looked around the courtyard and asked doubtfully: "Where’s Chongzhen?"
Mentioning Shen Chongzhen, Shen Wen’an thought of Zhou Xuan’s proud silver-haired figure and replied with a chuckle: "Busy wooing."
Wei Qiuling was first stunned upon hearing this, then couldn’t quite believe it: "Does the rascal have feelings for a girl?"
Shen Wen’an nodded.
Seeing this, Wei Qiuling’s face showed a pleased smile, and she asked again: "Which family’s daughter, has husband met her?"
Shen Wen’an sighed slightly and said: "A genius from the Ice God Palace, named Zhou Xuan."
"She is about the same age as Li’Er, yet already in the Purple Mansion Realm."
Saying this half-jokingly: "Your son has many obstacles to overcome to win her favor."
Wei Qiuling’s expression turned quirky, then she lightly laughed and said: "That’s up to his own abilities; we can only do our best and listen to the Celestial Mandate."
In the pavilion, the couple sat leaning against each other. Feeling a strange aura from Shen Wen’an, Wei Qiuling frowned:
"Is husband injured?"
"Why is the spiritual power fluctuation so weak?"
Shen Wen’an gently shook his head, showing a thoughtful expression, then waved his hand to set a barrier using his strong Power of Laws.
"There’s something I must tell you, but you absolutely can’t tell anyone."
Wei Qiuling was taken aback by his serious manner, then spoke solemnly: "Not even Grandmaster?"
Shen Wen’an shook his head.
The matter of Golden Nature is too significant; the more people know, the greater the danger to the Shen Family.
After all, behind this conspiracy lies Heaven, which they cannot comprehend.
If Heaven realizes that the Shen Family has discovered the Golden Nature conspiracy, it will surely eliminate all knowledgeable people at the first instance.
"Are you currently preparing for the breakthrough to Golden Core?"
Feeling the unique fullness of the Fetal Breathing Perfection aura on his wife, Wei Qiuling, Shen Wen’an asked.
Wei Qiuling nodded: "I’ve been at Fetal Breathing Perfection for over thirty years, and the foundation is already well established."
"If not for the recent multitude of affairs, which left no time to retreat, I might have already achieved Golden Core..."
"Does what husband wants to say have to do with cultivation?"
Wei Qiuling, being smart and astute, wouldn’t have become the first seat of Luoxia Mountain otherwise.
Seeing Shen Wen’an’s grave demeanor and mentioning her breakthrough, she faintly guessed that it might relate to cultivation.
Shen Wen’an nodded before revealing the matter of the "Golden Nature conspiracy."
After hearing, Wei Qiuling’s eyes widened in shock, her entire being seemingly petrified.
It’s no wonder she was so startled; any cultivator hearing such things would find it difficult to react calmly.
For a long time—
"Is husband not joking?"
Shen Wen’an gently shook his head.
He’s not the type to joke around.
"It’s too unbelievable..." Wei Qiuling murmured in shock; then, with a worried face, she looked at him: "Since Golden Nature is Heaven’s conspiracy, what about husband, Li’Er, and Chongming..."
"My Golden Nature has successfully been removed with Father’s help."
"That’s also why you perceive my current cultivation as only Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing."
