Chapter 774 - 271: Empty Hexagram Phenomenon
Shen Yuan also noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the two people. First, he looked at Shen Chongming, then at Shen Wen’an and said, "Are the two of you hiding something from me?"
Shen Wen’an cupped his hands, "I was just about to tell Father."
"During the battle at Celestial Aromatic Mountain, Chongming and I originally planned to deal with those three old fellows from the Huangsheng Sect conveniently, but at the crucial moment, Elder Luo associated with the Danzhou Barrier appeared."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.
"Does that elder have a connection with the Huangsheng Sect?"
Shen Wen’an shook his head, "Elder Luo has no connection with the Huangsheng Sect, but the Supreme Elder behind the Huangsheng Sect had found Elder Luo and asked for his help in mediation."
"Elder Luo instructed me that matters between the Shen Family and the Huangsheng Sect should end here, and not to persist."
Speaking until this point, he took out the Innate Five-Colored Earth.
"This is the compensation that Supreme Elder from Huangsheng Sect entrusted Elder Luo to bring for our Shen Family."
Shen Yuan took the fist-sized Five-Colored Mud Ball and curiously examined it for a moment.
"This item is quite peculiar, it seems to have an extremely rich Dao Source Law aura..."
Shen Wen’an lowered his head and explained, "Elder Luo mentioned that this item is Innate Five-Colored Earth, a treasure accompanied by the Dao Source of a world, extremely precious."
After nodding, Shen Yuan temporarily placed the Innate Five-Colored Earth on the table, then said, "This means the one who stopped me was the mysterious Supreme Elder behind the Huangsheng Sect?"
Both uncle and nephew nodded.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan pondered slightly and said, "In that case, it is not advisable to continue taking action against the Huangsheng Sect."
A trace of reluctance flashed across his face, Shen Yuan sighed, "Enough, let it end here."
He also harbored guesses similar to Shen Wen’an.
Being able to invite Luo Tianxing to mediate, the identity of the Supreme Elder of the Huangsheng Sect is definitely not simple.
The Shen Family cannot yet directly oppose such a person.
"Has the matter at Celestial Aromatic Mountain been settled?"
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Shen Yuan turned and asked.
Shen Chongming cupped his hands, "The Spirit has already been handed over to Aunt."
"Two of the three Golden Core Demon Kings on Celestial Sandalwood Mountain are dead, one escaped. Now it’s a matter of seeing if the old demon from the Purple Mansion behind them dares to come to Yangnao Land."
"Elder Zhai from Cyan Ruo Sword House is currently guarding in front of the Grand Array at Void Combination Corridor."
"By the way, please take care of these items, Grandpa."
With a flash of light in his hand, Shen Chongming directly took out the Golden Core of the Cyan Snake Demon and the Storage Bags of the two demons.
"I quite like this Bone Shield of grandson’s, so I won’t be submitting it."
Holding a small Bone Shield emitting a faint glow, Shen Chongming said half-jokingly.
Shen Yuan lowered his head slightly. After collecting those things, he suddenly spoke, "If Wen’an has nothing to do these days, he should visit Flame Lake City."
"The manifestation of the Spirit at Celestial Aromatic Mountain resulted in an extremely brutal battle."
"The Spirit at Flame Lake City must be properly dealt with."
Shen Wen’an’s expression was stunned, then he thought of the terrible situation at Celestial Aromatic Mountain.
The eight hundred miles of mountain peaks had been completely destroyed, and the land within a thousand miles had been shattered, rivers of blood flowing.
Flame Lake City is Shen Family’s city walls, and is the primary origin of Shen Family’s Artifact Refining Dao; it must not be struck down like Celestial Aromatic Mountain.
"I will visit Flame Lake City tomorrow."
After chatting for a while longer in Black Water Pavilion, Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming each went off to attend to their own affairs.
Upon leaving Black Water Pavilion, Shen Chongming hurriedly found the Hua Qing group of demons, who had been arranged to temporarily reside in the city.
This group of demon cultivators from Tan Mountain offered a trace of True Spirit, swearing allegiance to the Shen Family. At that time, he had promised Hua Qing to find them a place to reside in Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Following a cultivator from the clan, to the northwest corner of Yunshui City, Shen Chongming met the Hua Qing group of demons.
"Hmm?"
"Why are you here too?"
Upon arriving at the gathering place of these demon cultivators, Shen Chongming spotted a familiar figure.
The Centipede Leader was boasting to the Tan Mountain group of demons about how he once fought gloriously with Shen Wen’an for hundreds of rounds. But upon seeing Shen Chongming appear, a hint of embarrassment and ingratiation flashed in his compound eyes.
This guy, having absorbed the flawed Golden Core of the Golden Core Flood Dragon from the Poisonous Miasma Forest, had reached the Peak of Fetal Breathing in cultivation.
Yet, over the years, he had shown no sign of breaking through to Fetal Breathing Perfection, whether due to limited aptitude or laziness.
Compared to the Golden Toad and Snow Wolf King, this Centipede Leader was clearly lacking.
"Patriarch."
The Centipede Leader twisted his body and came forth, speaking in human words ingratiatingly, "This little demon is merely bored, upon hearing the arrival of a group of demon cultivators in the city, I thought to come see them and tell them the rules of Yunshui City."
Shen Chongming glanced at him with a half-smirk.
Previously in Yunshui City, demon cultivators were not many.
The big black dog of the old residence had hardly ever left the estate and did not interact with them.
The Snow Wolf King and Golden Toad, along with Silver Thread Centipede, spent most of their time in cultivation and had little time to deal with it.
Having finally encountered the group of demons from Tan Mountain, the Centipede Leader found some new playmates.
"Just right, you’re quite familiar with this region of Hidden Dragon Mountain."
"Today, come with me to find Hua Qing and the others a place to reside."
"If you’re willing, you may stay with them in the future."
The Centipede Leader was initially stunned upon hearing this, then said somewhat apprehensively, "Patriarch, this little demon..."
"No need to overthink, Hua Qing and they are also cultivators under Shen Family rule."
"I feel you may not find comfort staying in the city, being with them might be better for you."
The Centipede Leader hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head.
