Chapter 1399 - 411: It’s Over, Our Home Was Robbed!
Shen Family’s main entrance!
A dung-yellow flying ship tore through the sky, crashing crookedly onto the bluestone steps, causing the ground to tremble.
Shen Yunzhou disdainfully flicked his sleeve, and the flying ship transformed into a stream of light and burrowed into his storage bag with a "whoosh".
He furrowed his brow, scanning the empty entrance — where there should have been over a dozen Spirit Transformation Realm Perfection guards on duty, not a single one was present.
"Strange..." he muttered to himself, "Since when did the Shen Family become so overconfident, leaving the entrance completely unguarded?"
As he raised his foot to step onto the stairs, his body suddenly froze, and a terrifying thought popped into his mind — could it be... the Shen Family has been wiped out?
In an instant, a bloody scene unfolded before his eyes: some mysterious force slaughtering the guards, currently rampaging "hehehe" through the mansion.
If he went inside now, wouldn’t he be falling right into the trap?
"Hiss—" He inhaled sharply, retracting his foot without hesitation, and sneakily retreated to the ancient tree nearby.
He fished out the communication jade scroll, frantically calling for "Great Perfection".
However, after waiting for ages, the jade scroll did not react in the slightest, further confirming his suspicion.
"Finished, finished..." he sweated, "Although I’ve never been fond of home, if we truly got exterminated, I’d be left without a backbone?"
As he contemplated whether he should quickly run off to report to his elder sister, suddenly, a ripple appeared at the Shen Family’s main entrance.
Soon after, seven guards walked out shoulder-to-shoulder, all gathered whispering, occasionally letting out lewd laughter.
Shen Yunzhou squinted his eyes, becoming even more cautious.
Although familiar faces, who knew if they’d been subjected to puppet magic?
Could be bait deliberately released by the enemy!
After all, the Shen Family is vast with complex roots, with most members busy outside.
If the opponent truly wanted to catch everyone in one go, a bit of disguise would be par for the course.
Pop!
As he mulled over this, something suddenly jabbed his rear so hard he almost jumped up.
He turned to see inconspicuous stones rolling on the ground.
One of them cracked open several seams, revealing a pair of eerie green eyes fixated on him cheekily.
"Great Perfection?!" Shen Yunzhou’s eyes lit up, "What are you doing outside?"
This stone creature was his childhood buddy; whenever his elder sister locked him in the dark room, it would secretly open the door for him to sneak out.
The stone creature grinned, pulling several surrounding stones over, stacking them into a small pile.
Then it spoke in a muffled voice, "It’s too stuffy at home, came out to get some air. What brought you back so suddenly?"
Shen Yunzhou hurriedly gestured a shush sign, lowering his voice, "Did something happen at home?"
The stone creature nodded, "You heard?"
"As expected!" Shen Yunzhou’s expression changed, secretly glad he didn’t barge in recklessly.
"Missy not with you?" the stone creature asked again.
"Why would my sister come back? To court death?" Shen Yunzhou rolled his eyes.
The stone creature looked puzzled, "Why court death? Isn’t progress supposed to happen together?"
"Progress? What’s that supposed to mean?"
The stone creature then leisurely explained about a newly arrived Array Master who gathered thirty thousand Spirit Seals at home.
After hearing this, Shen Yunzhou froze, awkwardly coughing after a long pause, "...So that’s it."
Darn, made a big blunder!
Yet, thirty thousand Spirit Seals? Scarier than Master Situ Jiuyao...
"You all don’t come back; leave me bored at home!" the stone creature complained.
Shen Yunzhou patted it, perfunctory, "This time I’m just here to pick up something, you stay here. If anyone follows me when I leave, you can report back. Next time I’ll definitely take you out for a play!"
With that, he tidied his clothes, swaggering towards the main entrance.
Upon seeing him, the guards immediately fell silent and saluted in unison, "Greetings, Young Master!"
Despite the repulsive realm this fourth young master enlightened resulting in misfortune, none could deny his legitimate bloodline.
More to say, alongside his demoness sister, both inheriting the terrifying talent from the fourth house master, stepping into Spirit Severing Realm at a young age.
The old master often in seclusion, yet favored these siblings.
Back then, when this lad reached Divinity Transformation with his realm, falling debris almost flooded the ancestral land; the old master merely scolded lightly.
Shen Yunzhou stood at the door, the five-color restriction sweeping over him.
After confirming he wasn’t an imposter, the restriction buzzed open the portal.
He stepped in, eyes rolling, heading straight towards the newly arrived Master Qingzhou’s residence.
"If my sister knew such a figure arrived at home, she’d definitely be curious too!" he muttered while rubbing his hands.
Though he didn’t understand arrays, his elder sister was a genius array master with seventeen thousand Spirit Seals.
If a connection could be built...
Yet upon arriving, he was dumbfounded — a long queue outside the hall almost curling into incense.
Focusing closely, indeed, second aunt’s courtyard twins Chao Lu and Xi Shuang were being teased rosy-cheeked by a young man wearing a tiger head hat while holding refreshments.
"Tsk, second aunt moves fast." Shen Yunzhou stroked his chin, calculating.
According to Great Perfection, the master only arrived yesterday.
But his residence was not assigned to any faction’s area, instead arranged in the core zone.
Seems all factions are covertly competing, yet to settle a result!
As he mulled over, the hall door creaked open, seven Shen Family members surrounded a middle-aged man in cyan robes, stepping out with flattering smiles.
