154: Hello, beautiful!

"Alright, let's talk business." Shen Nian waved his hand helplessly, interrupting.

Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile, then frowned with worry, "Young Lord, this old servant knows your talent is prodigious, and entering Void Return is easy for you, but there's really no need to be so rushed. At least it wouldn't be too late to break through after returning to the Shen Family..."

"With the Young Lord's talent, how could a mere Human dao palace be worthy?"

"It should at least be an Earth... no, a Heaven dao palace!"

He wanted to say that at least in the Shen Family, he could Cultivate an Earth dao palace, and Shen Nian would also be given divine artifacts. At least that would be better than breaking through here in the Lower Realm!

Does this Great Xia have any good dao palace diagrams?

There are only a few Human dao palaces, how could they be worthy of Shen Nian!

This is simply a waste of the Young Lord's talent!

"How do you know I only forged a Human dao palace?" Shen Nian asked with a light chuckle.

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and tentatively asked, "Could it be that the Young Lord has already forged an Earth dao palace?"

"Tsk tsk, that's truly cause for celebration..." But before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, he saw Shen Nian shake his head slightly.

"This..." Lin Yuan swallowed, asking in disbelief, "Could it be a Heaven dao palace?"

He had actually just said that casually; how could he not know how difficult it was to forge a Heaven dao palace?

Even in the Upper Realm, no one has forged one in this era. All the top Prodigies have forged Earth dao palaces, mainly because, besides the lack of Heaven dao palace diagrams, there are no artifacts to suppress the dao palace!

"Not that either," Shen Nian said, shaking his head again.

“???” Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Not that?

Then what else could it be?

Immortal dao palace?

How is that possible!

Lin Yuan was about to press further when he heard Shen Nian ask, "Where did you go earlier?"

Shen Nian looked at him sideways.

He understood Lin Yuan's character; if there wasn't something important, he would definitely be at the entrance of the ruins to greet him. Shen Nian wasn't the kind of spoiled rich kid who would get angry if no one greeted him, but he was curious about what could delay Lin Yuan, a Void Return Third Layer Cultivator.

"Young Lord, after this old servant sent those Human Race women back to Daxi, I sensed a Demonic Qi coming from Xuan Guang Cave, different from the previous demon infant. These were two great demons, neither weaker than me!"

"If this old servant's guess is correct, they should be powerful individuals from the Azure Black Dragon Clan of the Heavenly Demon Realm. This old servant was worried that the appearance of these great demons would be detrimental to the Young Lord, so I went to investigate, which delayed me for a while..." Lin Yuan explained, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

If it were one-on-one, he wouldn't fear either of them, but one against two would be a lot of pressure.

What's more, there was also the Xuan Guang Cave Master who was currently breaking through.

After he returned from his investigation, he planned to bring Shen Nian back to Eastern Profound, because even if there was a slight possibility of danger, he wouldn't dare to gamble!

Although Shen Nian was strong, strong enough to destroy those Demon Emperors with a single sword, possessing Void Return power, facing Void Return Third Layer Yao Race royalty was completely different!

However, Lin Yuan hadn't expected Shen Nian to reach Void Return so quickly, which reassured him quite a bit.

Shen Nian wasn't too surprised by this; he would be surprised if the Heavenly Demon Realm remained completely still.

But only two Void Return Third Layer Yao Race members had come, which was a bit lacking. He still wanted to test the power of his Immortal dao palace, to see how far it could go.

Seeing Shen Nian so composed, Lin Yuan immediately gave him a thumbs-up and praised, "Young Lord has great spirit!"

Shen Nian was a bit speechless, then said, "Alright, after the Nine Peaks Grand Competition tomorrow, we'll go to Xuan Guang Cave. That cavity needs to be dealt with."

"Young Lord, how could a mere cavity be worthy of the Young Lord acting personally? This old servant will go. Young Lord, why don't you go back to Eastern Profound to take a look? It's about time to go home now," Lin Yuan laughed heartily.

Shen Nian glanced at him indifferently, knowing full well what Lin Yuan was thinking—he was just worried about him.

Immediately, an invisible pressure emanated from Shen Nian, and the terrifying power of the Immortal dao palace poured down.

Boom!

Lin Yuan took half a step back, looking at Shen Nian with shock in his eyes, his mouth wide open. He suddenly realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

With this aura, Lin Yuan wouldn't even dare to say he could stably defeat Shen Nian now. How could those two great demons threaten the Young Lord's life?

As long as the Young Lord truly wanted to leave, no one in this Great Xia would be able to stop him!

By the time Lin Yuan came back to his senses, Shen Nian had already returned to his room.

"A Void Return First Layer Cultivator can make my dao palace tremble like this. What level of dao palace did the Young Lord forge...?" Lin Yuan's eyes were still filled with shock, then his pupils contracted slightly.

If it truly was an Immortal dao palace, then the Young Lord... At the same time.

Second Mountain.

In a courtyard, under an ancient tree, three people were drinking wine.

"Brother Lin, it's a pity you went back. You didn't see the tomb owner's demeanor. That guy immediately kowtowed to Brother Shen!" Murong Chen said, taking a sip of wine.

Wang Damu, next to him, remained silent, his eyes showing deep thought, seemingly replaying the events.

Lin Qingyue, on the other hand, smiled, somewhat numb to the shock Shen Nian had brought. Then he looked up at the night sky, as if reminiscing about something.

With Wang Cuihua's Void Return power to recuperate, his injuries were mostly healed on the way. So, as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou, he conveniently went to see that girl, chatted with her for a few words, and returned the silver he owed.

The two had only met by chance, but Lin Qingyue couldn't stop himself from thinking about her.

Could this be falling in love?

Seeing this, Murong Chen, with the wine cup in his mouth, asked with blurry, drunken eyes, "Brother Lin, something on your mind?"

Wang Damu immediately pricked up his ears; he was very interested in gossip.

"No... no, not at all..." Lin Qingyue's ears turned red, and he quickly picked up his gourd to drink.

"What are you pretending for? Everyone can see that debauched look on your face!" Murong Chen pouted and said.

"You're in love, Brother Lin! Which girl is it? Bring her out for us brothers to meet!"

Lin Qingyue's face darkened, wanting to retort, but seeing Wang Damu next to him also with an approving expression, he felt that any explanation would be useless.

Then, after taking a sip of wine, he sighed dejectedly, "Not in love, more like unrequited love..."

"Ah?" Murong Chen was a bit surprised, then asked, "Who is it? Brother Lin, you're a talented man, and also the chief of Second Mountain. How could any girl be so difficult...?"

At this point, Murong Chen paused, then narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "You didn't fall for Brother Shen's Junior Sister, did you...?"

"No!" Lin Qingyue immediately retorted, his expression serious, then he whispered, "She's just an ordinary Mortal woman..."

"Hiss... then what's the big deal? Just go after her! With your conditions, wouldn't you win her over in minutes?"

Lin Qingyue looked at Murong Chen and asked, "How do I pursue her...?"

"Hah, so all those books you read before were useless, weren't they? I'll teach you a mantra, remember it!" Murong Chen stood up, very seriously.

Wang Damu also pulled out a small notebook, his face excited.

I knew I didn't come for nothing; I really can learn a lot.

Lin Qingyue also cast a serious gaze.

"It's complicated to explain. You'll understand if you watch my actual performance..." Murong Chen said, turning to leave. He knew that with the Nine Peaks Grand Competition approaching, many beautiful female Cultivators were staying in the guest rooms.

A moment later, the three stood before a palace building of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Lin Qingyue frowned, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

After all, these were all guests of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and their statuses were not low. He was afraid Murong Chen would cause trouble and offend others, and then even he would be punished.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety." Murong Chen said with a smirk, hands behind his back.

No woman can escape my grasp.

Just then, a somewhat tall woman walked over, her expression cold, but she kept her head down, constantly listening to a voice transmission in her mind.

"Big Brother, the Palace Master said to act discreetly, and absolutely not to expose our identities. As soon as we understand the situation of the Shen Family members, we are to immediately retreat!"

"As for your constant desire to be a female demon once, that has also been fulfilled now. Absolutely do not act impulsively!"

"Little Sister, I understand. Big Brother is a person with a broad perspective!"

This tall woman was none other than Xuan Ye, the elder brother, one of the two sent by the old man of the Azure Black Dragon Clan!

A Void Return Third Layer royal great demon, flowing with pure Azure Profound Dragon Bloodline!

"That's good. Little Sister will wait for you in Xuan Guang Cave..."

Xuan Ye walked over, head down, not wanting to attract attention, but just then a figure blocked his path.

"Hey!"

"Hello, beauty!"
