111: The young master has grown up...

"..." Lin Qingyue wore a bitter smile, not daring to defy her. Even if his Revered Master were present now, he would still have to behave himself.

It's just that... Sect Master, can we not have such differential treatment? I am the Chief Disciple, after all. Even if that's the case, could you not be so obvious!

Suddenly!

Crack!

The sound of space destabilizing rang out once again.

Shen Nian glanced at the space rift that could no longer hold on and said softly: "It is time to go."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I will not be going back." Liu Huihui thought for a moment and said. She had also been injured when the group of Yao Kings appeared, and added to the effort of maintaining this spatial Formation, she had no energy left.

Having obtained the bodhi fruit and refined a Divine Pill, the gains from this trip to the ruins were already enough. She understood that greed leads to indigestion.

Now that there was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect and that terrifying servant Senior of Shen Nian, she assumed they would not encounter any danger.

Following them back was clearly the best choice.

"Hmm, alright." Shen Nian nodded and added: "Thank you for just now."

Liu Huihui's eyes burned, and she put on a solemn expression: "No, it is I who should thank Fellow Daoist Shen, for letting me witness a scene I will never forget in this lifetime!"

You let me see what a true Prodigy is; within our Human Race, there exist those who slaughter the Yao Race like dogs!

I am very glad I followed along!

At this moment, Xia Youyue, who was still standing in front of Wang Cuihua, revealed a moved expression. The spot in her body where a golden bone should have been throbbed with pain, and a vague voice echoed in her mind, as if coming from ancient times.

"Come..."

This was the first time she had sensed anything unusual at the wound where her supreme bone had been dug out, which made her heart tremble uncontrollably.

Xia Youyue glanced in the direction the voice was guiding her, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"Why does this give me such an extremely familiar feeling? This voice has no malice. What exactly is it..."

After only a moment of thought, she made her decision. Regardless of what it was, she wanted to go and see. She suspected it was related to the supreme bone, and the little green bottle had no danger warning, so she figured there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

If it were before, she might have pondered for a long time, but now, other than becoming stronger, she only thought about completing the task Shen Nian had given her.

Cultivate the Supreme Regeneration Art, and grow the supreme bone within a month!

She would not give up on any clue related to the supreme bone!

"Senior Brother, I have already obtained most of what I wanted. I plan to go back and enter seclusion to breakthrough to the next Realm..." Xia Youyue turned to look at Shen Nian and said. She did not tell the truth because she wasn't sure if that voice really existed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian turned to look at her, nodded, and said: "You may."

He hadn't expected to be with his two Junior Sisters when coming to the Ancient Moon Grotto-Heaven. The Daughter of Destiny would surely have her own Opportunity; other than increasing the intensity and providing certain help, he would not interfere.

"Why is no one going? Then I'll just follow Brother Shen..." Before Murong Chen could finish his sentence, Liu Huihui appeared behind him and said in a deep voice: "Your Realm is too weak. Are you going to follow and delay Fellow Daoist Shen?"

"You've used up all your trump cards. If there is any danger later, are you not afraid of death?"

"Are you still going to shamelessly ask Fellow Daoist Shen to save you?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Chen first showed an embarrassed expression, then pouted and whispered: "I was just afraid that Brother Shen would be bored on his own..."

While everyone was conversing, Shen Nian walked indifferently to the side of the spatial rift, crouched down, reached out, and gently closed the purple-robed elder's eyes, silently reciting in his heart: "Rest in peace, Fellow Daoist..."

"Lin Chuan, I will remember you. One day, when I invade the Heavenly Demon Realm, I will chant your name..."

Everyone was silent after seeing this scene, but Wang Cuihua had a hint of confusion.

"If he hadn't used his life to hold back the group of Yao Kings until Junior Brother Shen appeared, we would already be dead." Lin Qingyue explained softly.

Liu Huihui echoed softly: "Senior Lin could actually have escaped..."

After all, it was clear that the opponent's primary target was Lin Qingyue, and Lin Chuan could have completely fled into the depths of the ruins. He would have had a chance to survive, yet he chose to stay and face the group of Yao Kings directly. This was a situation with no chance of survival.

Lin Qingyue did not continue the conversation but bowed towards Wang Cuihua: "Sect Master, Senior Lin has no family or friends. I would like to bury him in the Sword Tomb of our Heavenly Sword Sect. I ask the Sect Master to grant this."

Wang Cuihua then understood, and with a hint of respect in her eyes, she looked at the purple-clad elder's corpse and nodded: "It should be done!"

At the same time, she felt a few more points of genuine goodwill towards this Chief Disciple of the Ninth Mountain surnamed Shen...

A Prodigy with talent, a powerful background, and formidable strength, yet capable of treating those with lower Realms than his own with such an attitude—it was truly rare.

Wait!

Junior Brother Shen???

His surname is Shen?!

Wang Cuihua's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Lin Qingyue in disbelief, asking: "What did you just call him?"

"Junior Brother Shen, don't you know, Sect Master?" Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, his mind full of confusion.

He vaguely remembered that after the Revered Master of the Ninth Mountain accepted Shen Nian as a Disciple, didn't the Sect Master send a voice transmission to the Heavenly Sword Sect to congratulate them?

What was going on here?

"Surnamed Shen..." Wang Cuihua withdrew her gaze, and in her mind, the Shen Family, known as the best of the Ancient Desolate and the sky of the Eastern Profound among the Five Domains of the Upper Realm, emerged!

He actually came from the Shen Family!

Wang Cuihua never dared to imagine that the other party actually came from a recognized hegemon among the Five Domains of the Upper Realm. No wonder that old bastard said this was a thigh she could not imagine.

It really was!

A Disciple of the Ancient Desolate Shen Family—such a Prodigy must at least be a Core Disciple, and in the future, he might even fight for the position of the legendary Son of the Sequence!

Hiss...

The Heavenly Sword Sect must hold onto him!

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, who was restoring the injuries of a group of Mortal women and incidentally building their Foundation, turned his head to glance, then withdrew his gaze and continued to happily busy himself with the work in his hands, a faint smile on his lips, muttering to himself.

"In this life, I only feel the stars can be plucked, I do not believe in the moon in the water in my twilight years. Let the black hair turn white as frost, looking up, I do not see the young lad."

"The Young Lord has grown up..."

Shen Nian stood up slowly, stepped into the space, and his voice drifted out faintly.

"If you want to come, then come..."

Murong Chen immediately showed an expression of surprise, then followed him eagerly, not forgetting to look back and smile: "Senior Sister Liu, this was called by Brother Shen, you heard it."

Liu Huihui looked at Murong Chen with some helplessness, sighed in her heart, but didn't say anything more.

After Shen Nian left, Lin Qingyue lifted Lin Chuan's body and carried it on his back, while Xia Youyue looked at the place where Shen Nian had left, clenched her fists, and thought: "Senior Brother, when you come out, I will definitely fulfill my promise!"

The next second, she turned to look in the direction the voice came from, her expression firm.

Meanwhile.

In the deepest part of the Heavenly Demon Cave, above the palace of the First Cave which was already in ruins, the Old Flood Dragon stood in mid-air, his aura somewhat withered, holding an ancient voice transmission Jade Slip.

"My Lord, people from the Shen Family's Cangtian Army have appeared within the Great Xia territory. I fear it will affect the subordinate's layout. I ask for reinforcements!"

After the Old Flood Dragon sent the transmission, the look of terror on his face had not yet completely faded. The fear of the Shen Family's Cangtian Army seemed to be carved into his bones. He couldn't help but recall that scene from fifty thousand years ago: a black banner descending from the sky, standing in the center of the Monster Realm army, followed by no more than ten thousand men, all wearing snow-white divine patterned armor, their soaring Battle Intent shattering ten thousand Yao.

And then they fought head-on with the million-strong Yao army of the Heavenly Demon Realm for three months without retreating. With Void Return Third Layer as commanders, Sixth Layer as generals, Ninth Layer as kings, and Harmony Realm as marshals!

Everyone came from the Shen Family lineage, possessed Ancient Desolate Bloodline, practiced the Shen Family's Imperial Scripture, and a hundred men could condense a Cangtian General, possessing the terrifying battle power to fight across Realms!

They were the greatest threat to the four great royal clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the head of the five strongest armies of the Human Race.

The Shen Family, the Cangtian Army!
