110: Having talent definitely brings different treatment, huh?

Lin Yuan revealed a look of admiration; deep down, he was truly shaken.

The residual intent of the Void Returning Sword Dao Divine Ability in the surrounding space was something he had never seen anyone from the Shen Family use. The Young Lord must have encountered a great Opportunity!

But even so, the Young Lord's talent in the Dao of the sword was truly that of a Prodigy; it was not something anyone with an Opportunity could achieve. If someone gave you a Hedao Cultivation Technique, could you Cultivate to the Hedao Realm?

The answer is definitely impossible!

Old Man Tianji's bullshit prophecy—with my Young Lord being such a Prodigy, how could he possibly die in the Great Xia! I must write him two poems when I get back!

"Hiss... Young Lord!" Everyone knew of Shen Nian's identity as coming from the Eastern Profound, but they hadn't expected a servant to have followed him.

"Young Lord?" "Brother Shen's servant?" Murong Chen stared blankly at the scene before him. Does that mean this old beggar came from the Eastern Profound? Oh no! He shouldn't have heard me cursing at him, right!

But the next second, Murong Chen's mouth twitched. He could see Lin Yuan's gaze, as if there or not, sweep over him, revealing a faint smile.

Xia Youyue was relatively much calmer and did not look at Lin Yuan. She truly could not bring herself to have any good feelings toward people from the Eastern Profound, with the exception of Senior Brother.

"This Senior who is at least in the Void Return Realm is actually Shen Nian's servant!!!" Liu Huihui, who was more aware of the old man's strength than the others, revealed an expression of shock.

To be able to make a Void Return expert a servant—how terrifying must his identity be!! And the subsequent conversation between the Revered Master and servant made them reveal expressions of shock.

Wang Cuihua, standing to the side, was stunned to see the Dao expert, who had just crushed the First Cave Demon Emperor with an overwhelming stance and left it with no power to fight back, now kneeling before this white-clad youth with the expression of a sycophant.

With Lin Yuan's terrifying strength, he would be an honored guest in any first-class power in the Five Domains of the Upper Realm! Yet he was willing to be a slave! Just which Holy Land or major clan's Disciple was he! I'll have to ask for his name later and definitely investigate...

"No need!" Shen Nian swept a glance at him, directly refusing his offer to gift a poem, and then immediately asked, "Get up."

After Lin Yuan stood up, he bowed slightly and stood beside Shen Nian.

"Didn't beat him?" Shen Nian's voice sounded again.

Lin Yuan was able to be his personal servant because he was undoubtedly hand-picked by the Shen Family Old Ancestor. Although he was only at the Void Return Third Layer, he had served as a commander of the Cangtian Army and had personally killed a Void Returning Fourth Layer great demon of the Heavenly Demon Realm army; among those in the same Realm, he was already an outstanding member of the Human Race.

However, if Lin Yuan had slaughtered the strongest First Cave Demon Emperor of this Heavenly Demon Cave, it would have been impossible for there to be absolutely no commotion.

Lin Yuan immediately said solemnly, "How could that be!"

"If I couldn't even beat a mixed-blood Dragon in the Lower Realm, how many old brothers would laugh at me when I go back!"

"The main thing is that although that Dragon's combat power wasn't much, it really had quite a few good things. I was also worried about causing too big of a commotion. Young Lord knows that this is not the Eastern Profound after all... so I let him run away..." Lin Yuan explained helplessly.

He really wanted to kill that old Dragon, but the opponent had too many trump cards, which were clearly items from the Royal Family of the Demon Realm. Fighting any longer would have been pointless, and his mission was to protect Shen Nian's safety. He was also worried that staying too long would attract the attention of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

If they knew that the Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family was here, I'm afraid that a few Demon Emperors would appear the very next second...

The next second, Lin Yuan took out a storage ring and respectfully handed it to Shen Nian, saying, "Although the old Dragon ran away, the little brats from the Second Cave and Third Cave living next to him who call themselves Demon Emperors were taken care of by this old servant along the way. Some of the items are quite good for those at the Soul Transformation Realm; Young Lord can make do with them for now."

Shen Nian took the storage ring, and his Divine Thought submerged into it; a single sweep revealed eight shivering demon souls, as well as an eye-dazzling array of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones that could be described as an astronomical figure.

Perfect! He had just consumed too much Qi and needed to recover; he could also use them later during simulation Breakthroughs.

"Not bad." After Shen Nian accepted the spatial ring, he praised him casually.

Lin Yuan immediately revealed an excited expression, tears streaming down his old face as he said, "To receive a word of praise from the Young Lord, this old servant would have no regrets even if I died in this Heavenly Demon Cave..."

"In this situation, this old servant would like to recite a poem to express my..."

"Stop!" Shen Nian interrupted him directly, then said, "You go first and escort these Mortal women back to the Great Xia to settle them down."

Lin Yuan nodded respectfully, "Yes, Young Lord!"

"Then, Young Lord, what about you?"

"I still need to go into the ruins," Shen Nian replied. He hadn't been to the great tomb of the Ancient Moon Grotto-Heaven yet, and with Xiao Qinger and a suspected Destined Villain inside, how could he not go?

"Very well, then this old servant will first send them back and then wait for the Young Lord at the entrance of the ruins." Lin Yuan nodded. He was no longer worried about Shen Nian encountering danger; with this strength, there were already few people in the Great Xia who could threaten his life.

The next second, his figure appeared at the prison, and upon seeing that Golden Body Dharma Idol, he was instantly stunned in place.

"This is..." A look of shock welled up in Lin Yuan's eyes. Just now, his thoughts were entirely on Shen Nian, and since the aura of the Golden Body before him was consistent with Shen Nian's, he hadn't noticed it.

A Buddhist Arhat Golden Body Dharma Idol? That's not right, why is this one not among the Eighteen Arhats? Is this the Young Lord???

When he saw that the Golden Body's appearance was identical to Shen Nian's, his expression froze slightly. The Young Lord also practices Body Refining??? This...

Plus his terrifying talent in the Talisman Dao, triple cultivation???? The Young Lord is still over a month away from turning twenty...

Under the age of twenty, his Realm is at the Soul Transformation Early Stage, he has mastered a Perfection-level Void Returning Sword Dao Divine Ability, can open a Void Return Domain, and condense a Arhat Golden Body Dharma Idol...

All of this was accomplished without the help of the Shen Family and without relying on an Imperial Scripture! This talent would be enough to cause a sensation even in the Upper Realm. If the Young Lord didn't have a background, even the hidden Holy Lands and Ancient Desolate Families would come out to snatch him!

Lin Yuan's head was a bit dazed; it seemed he somewhat understood why that person in the Shen Family had insisted on making the young Shen Nian the Young Clan Leader, despite the opposition of all the clan elders.

"I really dare not imagine what kind of expressions those who opposed it back then will have if the Young Lord returns to the Shen Family..."

With the talent displayed now, if he were to step into the Void Return Realm, he would already be able to contend with the Shen Family sequence, right? The Young Lord has cultivated for several decades less than them, and he hasn't cultivated an Imperial Scripture!! "Calculated this way, the Young Lord is even more amazing!!"

Just then, Shen Nian's Golden Body glanced at him and said, "What are you standing there blankly for?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant will take them away immediately..." Lin Yuan revealed a foolish smile and scratched his head as he said.

The next second, the Arhat Golden Body Dharma Idol walked through the air and merged into Shen Nian's body in front of everyone. This scene left Wang Cuihua stunned.

Golden Body? He also has a Golden Body? No, I have to put aside the pride of being a Sect Master and be more proactive.

Wang Cuihua, who had originally wanted to wait for Shen Nian to greet her before being more enthusiastic, was just about to speak when she heard Shen Nian say.

"Lin Yuan offended you earlier, and the cause lies with me. He was only acting on orders. I apologize, and if there is a chance, I will definitely provide compensation," Shen Nian said, cupping his hands toward the woman before him.

He had always been a person who distinguished right from wrong; as Lin Yuan's Revered Master, it was reasonable and appropriate for him to apologize.

"No need, no need. This Sect Master doesn't need any compensation. As long as you continue to acknowledge your identity as a Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, that will be enough," Wang Cuihua said with a free-spirited laugh. It's fine; I'll settle my score with that old bastard slowly since he peeked at my diary!

Thinking of this, Wang Cuihua revealed a look of shyness. Shen Nian immediately gave her a somewhat strange look. What did Lin Yuan do to her? This expression is not right...

The next second, he nodded slowly and said, "Shen Nian of the Ninth Mountain; this point will not change." Not for anything else, even just for the Revered Master who treated him with such kindness, he would not leave the Heavenly Sword Sect. Plus, there are two Junior Sisters now.

"With those words from you, I can rest easy!" Wang Cuihua nodded in response.

At this moment, Xia Youyue, who had been on the side the whole time, stepped forward and said, "Ninth Mountain third Disciple, Xia Youyue, greets the Sect Master."

Wang Cuihua's eyes lit up, and she praised, "What a heroic and spirited beauty. The Dragon Interception Technique of the Great Xia Imperial Family, and you also practice spear techniques. You must be that princess. Come to think of it, I saw you when you were a child..."

As she spoke, Wang Cuihua revealed a helpless expression, as if she had recalled some past events, and sighed, "Sigh, I also had a friendship with your Imperial Father. It wasn't that I didn't want to intervene back then, but I couldn't lead the Heavenly Sword Sect to their deaths..."

Facing a Demon Emperor, she, at the Void Return First Layer, was simply a joke.

"Sect Master, I do not blame you. I know that if it weren't for you all, the situation of the Great Xia would be even more difficult..." Xia Youyue replied with a calm expression.

"It is good that you can understand this." Wang Cuihua revealed a look of relief.

After she said this, Murong Chen, who was beside her, narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Lin seems to have some tea!! What is Brother Shen talking about? Why would he apologize? Aren't you the First Disciple of the Second Mountain? Tell me about it; what's the situation!"

Lin Qingyue was also completely confused; he didn't understand at all. Moreover, in his impression, the Sect Master always seemed to have the face of someone who owed her money. He had been beaten by her several times when he was a child, so why was she smiling now?

Is having good talent really treated differently, huh?

Immediately after, Lin Qingyue suddenly felt some exhaustion. A Medicinal Pill entered his mouth instantly, and the power of Dao flowed through his body to heal his injuries.

"You're seriously injured and don't know to rest, what are you standing there blankly for!" "Is this how Guo Dewu taught you?"

Wang Cuihua shouted coldly. Her temperament changed drastically, and the might of a Sect Master radiated out; it was completely different from how she treated Shen Nian.
